A two-vehicle collision Jan. 15 on Highway 85 south of Bowman sent one of the drivers to the hospital for minor injuries.

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A two-vehicle collision on Highway 85 sent one person to the hospital shortly before 7 p.m. Jan. 15 in Bowman County.

The male driver of a white Chevrolet Trailblazer was transported via Bowman Ambulance to Southwest Healthcare Services after a black Dodge Ram crashed into the vehicle at the intersection of Highway 85 and 86th Street near the El-Vu Motel in Bowman County, according to police on the scene.

The driver of the vehicle, Patricia Washington, 48, of Mesa, Ariz., did not suffer lifethreatening injuries, according to Bowman County Sheriff’s Deputy Frank Eberle.

The driver of the pickup truck, Mason Davis, 24, of Ogden, Utah, had no apparent injury and declined treatment,

‘It’s pretty official,’ Alco manager says; Shopko stays mum on official word

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net The latest guessing game in Bowman was which retailer would take over Alco’s location, ever since it made public that it was closing its doors.

The answer: Shopko.

Though it has not yet been made official by the company’s headquarters, “it’s pretty much official,” said Scott Sola, general manager of Alco in Bowman.

Teran Doerr, executive director of the Bowman County Development Corp., said she also heard word that Shopko was coming to Bowman.

Doerr repeated that it was not yet made official.

“There are a lot of legal technicalities that need to be ironed out before anything is made public at this point,” Michelle Hansen, spokesperson for Shopko Stores Operating Co. LLC., told the Pioneer on Tuesday. Hansen indicated there was no further information.

Shopko is advertising for 14 available positions—from sales to managerial positions—in Bowman on the North Dakota job service website, www.JobsND.com.

It was a brazen indication of the retailer’s interest in the area.

Hansen said she was not aware the company was

seeking applicants.

The news of Alco’s closure was upsetting to many in the community that wondered where they would continue to purchase specific goods.

For those wanting to shop local, the already few amount of choices was narrowed down by one.

People in the community and in the surrounding areas took to social media to vent their frustration and even suggested some possibilities for certain stores that should consider replacing Alco. Among those suggestions was Runnings, a popular home and farm goods retailer, Family Dollar, which

Eberle said.

Eberle said he suspected the collision to be the result of “operator error.” A crash report from the Bowman Police Department indicated Davis was distracted by external factors.

According to the report, Davis failed to yield before entering onto Highway 85. Davis struck Washington’s vehicle as it traveled southbound on the highway.

Police suspected Davis was driving under the influence, according to the report. He was given a Breathalyzer test that indicated his blood alcohol content was zero.

Davis was issued two citations, for care required and failure to yield to the right-ofway.

The project now moves on for approval by the Federal Aviation Authority, which is expected to issue its record of decision within 45 days, or on April 3.

The new training complex is expected to be established in the spring or summer.

Members of the Bowman County Airport Authority publicly voiced opposition to the plan from the start and most recently attended a conference call meeting between the Bowman County Board of Commissioners and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s representative to reiterate the negative points of expanding the training area over southwest North Dakota.

NEWS BRIEFS Massive oil spill breaches Yellowstone River near Glendive The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continues to coordinate environmental response activities associated with an oil spill at a section of pipeline along the Yellowstone River approximately seven miles upstream from the city of Glendive in Dawson County, Mont.

Bridger Pipeline has confirmed that the spill volume is in the upper range of initial estimates, closer to 1,200 bbls, as the contents of the broken pipeline segment have been reported as containing mostly water.

It is a significant spill, according to the EPA, and the coordination of various response activities at the spill site, the city of Glendive, and at downstream locations will be a priority over the next several days.

Crude oil released into the environment threatens downstream water users, including drinking water supplies, agricultural uses, and wildlife.

$2.2M in federal funding available to help N.D. seniors, families heat homes Sen. Heitkamp announced this week more than $2.2 million in federal assistance to help low-income North Dakota families, seniors, and Native American tribes heat their homes this winter season.

Specifically, North Dakota families and seniors living in low-income households will receive more than $1.7 million in federal assistance to help offset heat and energy costs during the state’s coldest months.

Additionally, more than $540,000 in federal funds is available for North Dakota’s Native American tribes.

This federal support follows more than $23 million that North Dakota’s low income families, seniors and Native American tribes received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) at Heitkamp’s request in October, for a total of more than $25.4 million for 2015.

The funding is made available through the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Eligible families outside Indian reservations must apply directly to the State of North Dakota to receive LIHEAP funding. For eligible families living on Indian reservations, their tribes need to directly apply to the State of North Dakota to receive LIHEAP funding, which is then distributed to those on the reservation who qualify.

opened in Hettinger last year to great success, and even farfetched ideas such as a big box store like Wal-Mart, which Bowman does not have enough traffic or population to support.

In the end, however, Shopko seemed a workable fit to take over where Alco left off, as the company offers a comparable shopping experience to its predecessor.

Sola said he was happy to hear the news of Shopko’s entrance into Bowman and said he was hopeful that he would be chosen to continue on as a manager at Shopko. He indicated he would have to apply and interview for the position.

Alco’s official last day of business is scheduled for Jan. 30, according to Sola. Shopko has given no timeline for a possible entry.

Founded in 1962, Shopko is a $3 billion retailer that operates over 323 stores in 21 states throughout the Midwest, North Central and Pacific Northwest regions.

The company’s retail formats include 133 Shopko stores, providing name-brand merchandise at a value, pharmacy and optical services in small to mid-sized cities. It also maintains 179 Shopko Hometown locations, which are smaller concept stores developed to meet the needs of smaller communities, five Shopko Express Rx stores, a convenient neighborhood drugstore concept; and four Shopko Pharmacy locations. Shopko is an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc.

Chamber elects 3 to board

County would have negative impacts for the area.

When the record of decision was released, Schaaf said the airport authority made further comments to Heitkamp, Sen. John Hoeven, RN.D., and Rep. Kevin Cramer to encourage them to work with the FAA to consider some of the recommendations set forth to limit impacts.

The Air Force did agree, however, to establish a ground communications system in the area prior to utilizing the 500-foot minimum level at which bombers can fly. That would make it easier for pilots on the ground to know if the training area is active or inactive.

That was one of Schaaf’s recommendations.

“If they can’t raise the floor or the ceiling of the area, then we want some sort of ground communication system,” Schaaf said.

its agreement “remains to be seen,” he added.

According to a statement released

by Hoeven’s office, Miranda Ballentine, the Air Force's Assistant Secretary for Installations, confirmed to the senator that the Air Force would not start using certain low altitude sections of the training area until communications equipment is installed. The Air Force expects installation of that equipment will take a few months, according to the statement.

“It’s a good first step,” Schaaf said.

Recommendations could still be applied to the project, said Schaaf, as the FAA considers its decision, which will set final specifications for the expanded training area.

The final recommendations now lie in the hands of federal legislators.

A simple referencing of an aviation map will show a sparsely populated airspace above southwest North Dakota, echoing the ground’s similarly sparse population.

That, according to Schaaf, leads Washington, D.C. policymakers to believe “people don’t live out here.”

LEE Contractors, and Miranda Carlson, office manager at the Pioneer and The Finder, raced to fill the third spot, left vacant by Karen Salter, who choose not to run for another term. Pagel, 33, ultimately claimed the seat and its three-year term.

“I’m very happy with the outcome because Nate and Melissa work very hard on the board and are dependable,” Johnson said.

“Kristy will be a good addition to our team and will be an asset to the chamber.”

“That was the first battle—there are people out here. They do their jobs, raise kids, pay taxes and vote,” he said. “We have issues here.”

Still, North Dakota’s federal representation feels hopeful. “(The) Record of Decision opens the door for better training for Minot's B-52s, while limiting the impact on civilian flights in southwestern North Dakota, which was a concern we worked to address,” Hoeven said in a statement. “I have requested that the Air Force continue working with local aviation interests as the range comes into use.”

In the past few months, Heitkamp stressed to multiple top Air Force officials about how the agency must live up to its commitments to address the concerns of the communities and have more open communication.

“It’s crucial that we keep our rural towns healthy, and our local economies thriving by continuing to secure the access of our pilots, airports and businesses need to do their jobs throughout this expansion in Powder River,” Heitkamp said in a statement.

City-owned apartments go up for bid

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net City commissioners voted this month to place Rhame’s city-owned, lowincome apartments up for bid in a move that could free up some funds for infrastructure projects.

Commissioner Scott Luvaas made a motion during the Rhame City Board of Commissioners regular meeting Jan. 12 to put the West Plains Housing 6-plex apartment building up for bid.

The motion was approved.

People interested in purchasing the apartment complex have until 1:30 p.m. Feb. 9 to submit a bid to the Rhame City Auditor’s Office.

The apartments, located at 108 1st Ave. NW, presented a challenge for

the board as the city continues to struggle with operations. The city lacks finances and personnel to continue maintenance at the property, according to City Auditor Margie Russ.

“The city doesn’t have the personnel to take care of the apartments properly,” Russ told the Pioneer Tuesday.

Selling the apartments is in the best interest of the city and the building’s tenants, she added.

While the apartments do not make up a large portion of the city’s budget, according to Russ, it was decided the best option was to put them out for bid so the city could sell them to somebody that could make a profit.

“We don’t have time to maintain them and because we offer these apartments for low-income renters, we don’t make enough money to break

even,” Russ said.

Yearly income from the property gives the city around $26,400, according to Russ, with expenses totaling about $30,000 a year on average. The city’s general budget last year was around $800,000.

Since assuming ownership of the building, the city has installed new windows, siding, a roof and paint to maintain the property.

All six of the apartments presently are rented and, if the building is sold, Russ said the city would request that the purchaser allow those tenants to remain.

Their rents would likely increase, but the city would not have control over that, Russ said.

If the city were able to sell the apartments, those unencumbered funds could then be used for city infrastructure projects.

POLICE: Tip leads to drug find at apartment

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A search warrant was executed Jan. 10 by the Bowman Police Department after it received a tip that suggested drug use occurred in a Bowman apartment.

Police Chief Chuck Headley said the department sent out a nonuniformed officer to the residence on 2nd Avenue SE in Bowman at which time the officer detected an odor of marijuana emanating from one of the apartments.

Headley said the department then obtained a search warrant and executed it. Nobody was home at the time.

Officers discovered marijuana residue and drug paraphernalia inside the apartment, Headley said.

The apartment’s tenant was not arrested.

The department is now in the process of referring

the case over to the Bowman County State’s Attorney’s Office for charges of possession of drug para-

phernalia, a Class A misdemeanor, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class B misdemeanor.

Say Anything By Rob Port

Should it be illegal to exercise your 4th amendment rights? A North Dakota law recently upheld by the state Supreme Court does just that.

In 2013 lawmakers, pressured by hyperbolic newspaper editorials and activists who went so far as to park a car wreck on the steps of the capitol, passed a number of changes to DUI law.

Among those changes was the decision to treat refusal a chemical sobriety test as a crime.

Previously the law treated such a refusal as a civil matter, with the state taking action against a DUI suspect’s driving privileges. But section 39-20-01 of the Century Code now states: “refusal to take the test directed by the law enforcement officer is a crime punishable in the same manner as driving under the influence.”

This is problematic.

The 4th amendment to the U.S. constitution

guarantees each citizen the right to be secure in their “persons, houses, papers, and effects” from searches without warrants. North Dakotans are doubly protected as the same language appears in Article I, Section 8 of the state constitution.

Law enforcement officers must ask your permission to search your car or to take blood from your body because, absent a lawful warrant, you have the right to refuse the search.

The state cannot simply enter your home and search it. Nor can they strap you down and forcibly take your blood for use in criminal proceedings against you. Your rights protect you from these things.

They’re supposed to anyway. In North Dakota, exercising some of those rights is now illegal.

In a unanimous decision issued in North Dakota vs. Birchfield, the justices (including Gerald Vandewalle, recently feted with the state’s top honor, the Roughrider Award) held that it was constitutional for lawmakers to criminalize the exercise of your 4th amendment rights in declining a chemical sobriety test.

on and on and on.

But the guy in front of me, actually he was two people in front of me, was on crutches and had an arm in a sling with only a bag of dog food.

The well-dressed lady between us was carrying some sushi and bacon wrapped shrimp. In an attempt to start a conversation, she asked the banged up guy if he had a dog. In retrospect, I don’t suppose that was a very intelligent question since he was carrying a bag of dog food.

The crippled guy looked at her and explained, “No, I’m on a dog food diet. I fill my pockets with dog food, and whenever I get the urge to eat, I simply Dakota Community Bank 523-9000 Dale's Clothing 523-3620

We can all agree that we have an interest in catching and convicting drunk driving offenders, but does that worthy cause justify the violation of the 4th amendment?

Or the 1st? Or the 5th?

Or the 6th?

Certain religions have very strict doctrinal beliefs about the removal of blood from the human body. If someone objects to a blood screening for alcohol or drugs on religious grounds, are we to find them guilty of a DUI for exercising their 1st amendment rights?

The 5th amendment prohibits “double jeopardy,” or the trying of a person twice for the same crime. Since it is possible to charge a person both with a DUI, and for “a crime punishable in the same manner as” a DUI for refusing a chemical test, is that not double jeopardy? Or trying a person twice over for the same crime?

Further, the 6th amendment guarantees every American the right to “have the assistance of counsel for his defense.”

A person who has been arrested, and who is being pressured by law enforcement for assent to a search, might reasonably

“Really,” she exclaimed!

“How is it working?”

The gentleman quickly told her, “I lost several pounds the first month.

Then I was out for walk one morning, and the next thing I know, I woke up in the hospital with all these broken bones and tubes running in and out of my body!”

“My gosh,” the woman exclaimed! “Was it a reaction to the dog food?”

“Oh no,” he said. “I stepped off the curb to smell a French Poodles butt and a car hit me!”

See what I mean about long winters.

feel confused and desire consultation with legal counsel before making any decisions.

Could law enforcement deem the delay of a chemical test until a suspect’s lawyer can be contacted as a refusal punishable by a crime?

Drunk drivers are not typically looked upon sympathetically by the public, for understandable reasons. Yet our constitution guarantees certain clearly defined rights to even the most heinous of criminals.

What if the law made it a crime on part with theft to decline a warrantless search of your home for stolen goods? Would the public not be outraged?

Should we not be similarly outraged that lawmakers would make it a crime to decline a warrantless search of our persons? And that our courts have upheld the law?

DUI law can be an emotional corner of public policy. Unfortunately during the 2013 legislative session it was emotion and not logic which led to the implementation of this poor public policy. Let’s hope a future legislature perhaps the one convened now in 2015 - will undo this mistake.

BOWMAN COUNTY FFA

See what's new this FFA members month at the Bowman attend Winter Regional Public Library Leadership conferences

By Brayden Miller

Bowman Co. FFA Reporter

Bowman Co. FFA Reporter Meggie Fischer of the Bowman County FFA Chapter was one of 30 other North Dakota FFA members from across the state that were awarded grants of $500 to $1,000 to put toward the establishment or expansion of their supervised agricultural experience projects (SAEs). $30,000 was given to the state’s FFA members for the SAE grants this year. Member’s applications were screened. SAE grants were awarded by funds from the ND FFA Foundation to these students.

Grant funds will help students like Fischer expand her Supervised Agriculture Experience.

Fischer applied for the grant and received money in the area of Equine Science to use towards her SAE project of working with horses and breaking them for riding.

“Right now, there are six horses out on my family’s farm. I own a quarter/appa-

loosa that is seven years old.

One is a retired quarter horse and three of them are pretty well trained. One more is green broke and just needs some experience and I think she will be a really good horse,” Fischer said in her application. “There is a one-year-old quarter horse that I have been working with my sister to train. My sister has been a big help to make my SAE successful.”

As for future plans for her SAE project, Fischer said her future plans for her SAE is to keep working with horses.

“I hope I can start my own business in breaking horses.

My goal is to have my own training business on my own farm. This money would help pay for the important little things such as training equipment. This would help me get more business so I would make more money. With more money I could build a really nice corral and a barn if I get a lot of money from my future business,” she said.

Fischer is a freshmen and the daughter of Lenny and Nancy Fischer of Amidon.

Bowman Co. FFA members awarded jackets

By Brayden Miller

Bowman Co. FFA Reporter Recently nine members of the Bowman County FFA chapter were awarded FFA Jackets of their own through a sponsorship program organized by the North Dakota FFA Foundation.

Two-hundred-andninety students across the state received their very own FFA jacket through generous donations to the North Dakota FFA Foundation’s “Blue Jackets, Bright Fu-

tures” program. Donors and corporate sponsors from across the state provided the funds that will start FFA freshman members on the path to success to develop their personal leadership skills and strengthen the agricultural industry.

Donors included former state FFA officers, current FFA members, businesses, and individuals who chose to give jackets in memory FFA members and loved ones who’ve passed.

The program is designed to support FFA members by the dona-

tion of an official FFA jacket of their own.

Each member that applies for a jacket must complete an application explaining their need and desire for an FFA jacket and explain how a jacket could help benefit their FFA career.

The FFA jacket is a symbol of pride and tradition for all FFA members. It is more then a uniform, it is the most important part of our official dress. Today, there are over 530,000 FFA members in the United States making it the largest student organization

Three leadership conferences for members of the FFA were held Jan. 10 and 11 in Bismarck. The 101 conference, which was conducted by the North Dakota State FFA Officer team, was held at the Ramkota Hotel. This segment of the tri-conference involved FFA members who are freshmen and are learning about the FFA and how to become a good leader and strong member in the FFA organization.

For sophomores and juniors, the 212 Conference is aimed at the development of basic leadership skills in members. 212 degrees—the temperature at which water boils—focuses on taking students to the boiling point of leadership. At 211 degrees, water is extremely hot, but just one more degree gets us to the next level.

The two-day 212 Leadership Conference was focused on student development and helps FFA members become aware of their passions and virtues.

FFA members attended sessions on discovering their passions, making positive decisions, setting SMART goals and taking steps towards selfThe other conference took students full circle in terms of chapter leadership. The two-day 360˚ Conference was focused on the importance of vision and how to become a visionary leader. Students spent their time in sessions understanding the importance of vision, conducting a chapter needs assessment, crafting a vision plan for their local FFA chapter and developing a strategy to implement their vision.

The Bowman County FFA members also participated in the service project where 290 Fleece tie blankets were made for children in need through Project Linus.

These conferences were a great opportunity for students to work toward becoming both better members and better leaders. The skills they learn at the conferences will not only help them as individuals but, more important, they learn skills they can take home to their chapters, school and community.

What's new at the Rouzie Rec Center Winter programs in full swing, new programs, activities added

The Rouzie Recreation Center is lively this winter with many new members and programs. Please stop by and see what programs are available for you and your family. One new program, Tot Time, helps introduce toddlers to exercise in the winter. Tot Time is held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon.

Tuesdays is Tot TimeRide Time. Guardians can bring in trikes, striders, or any kind of riding toys to the gym and let their preschoolers ride around the gym. On Thursday morning is Tot Time-Mat Time.

There will be several mats set out on the gym floor for toddlers and preschoolers to play on. Guardians must be present and are welcome to walk laps around the gym while keeping an eye on their kids. Cost is $5 per family per day or free with a family membership. Thursday’s Mat Time will now have free coffee and tea sponsored

by Dr. David Meadows, Dr. Shira Tomboulian, and Flowers and Cappuccino

by Lasting Visions.

They are happy to sponsor this to encourage the physical fitness and know that physical activity is important for all ages, including the young.

Going for the Green is a 10-week wellness challenge and has about seven weeks left—it is not too late to join now and be successful in the challenge.

This is a wellness challenge to reward you with points for exercising, lifting weights, stretching, drinking water, eating five fruits or vegetables per day, volunteering your time, feeding your soul (attending religious services, praying, meditating), sleeping 7 hours per night, completing a health screen, reducing your body mass index, and attending the Going for the Green Fun Run/Walk on March 14. The goal of the challenge is to help motive you to be healthier in all aspects of your life, to set and reach realistic goals, to help get us through the long winter months, and to help build teams within work, family, and friends.

It costs $25 to join the challenge and it will in-

clude a green T-shirt when the team averages 100 points (possible 63 points or more per week).

Tumbling is a new program that has taken off at Rouzie.

Heidi Fischer is instructing youth to run, roll, and jump through the tumbling program. Enrollment is bursting at the seams and the program will extend through the spring. If you did not get your child signed up for the January/February sessions, please be looking for the March/April sessions to be announced soon.

Men's basketball and women's volleyball are in full swing. We are delighted to provide new standards and nets for the volleyball program. Spring League Women’s volleyball will begin in March, with the captain’s meeting on to be held on Thursday, March 12. Please be aware that rosters and fees are due at the captain’s meeting and a new policy taking effect 2/1/2015 will add a $100 fee for late entries.

Youth girls' basketball will begin in March, so please register your 4th, 5th or 6th grade girl between now and March.

Heading outside for the winter is more pleasurable with the ice rink and the walking paths available to residents.

Do not forget that Bowman has a large dog park on the west end of the baseball diamonds, just north of the overpass.

We are delighted to offer the traditional programs our communities are familiar with and excited to offer new programs. We have many talented area residents and are continuing to add programs based on need, talent and space.

Some of the programs we would like to add are art/ painting, digital photography, dance (youth and ballroom), group exercise, youth activities committee (social and physical activities for middle and high school), and many others.

Please visit with the Rec if you have talents or are interested in providing instruction for these activities for the community.

Trinity girls sweep Nighthawks

By Sheldon Christenson For the Pioneer

Photo by Sarah Martian | For the Pioneer

Sterling Lee of Bowman County pins his opponent during a dual against the Killdeer Cowboys.

It was a tough night for the Nighthawk girls basketball teams. Trinity came in as the #7 ranked Class B team in the state, an 11-2 record and 5-0 in Region 7. In all three games they displayed good shooting, passing, positioning and defense.

In the varsity game they jumped out to an 18-5 lead after the first quarter and never looked back in securing a 58-29 win. Junior Kennedy Keator did most to the scoring damage for Trinity as she netted 21, including three 3-pointers. Six foot junior Brianna Soehren controlled the boards for Trinity with 13 and played sound defense. Trinity starts four juniors and one sophomore and only has one senior on their roster.

They also showed that they can shoot free throws by getting 15 points at the

charity line. There was quite a disparity in fouls as the Nighthawks were whistled 21 times to only 11 for Trinity. Casey Joppa had nine points to lead Hettinger-Scranton in scoring.

Trinity’s C team easily downed the Lady Nighthawks C team 62-28. Briana Sanford paced Hettinger-Scranton in scoring with eight, and Justice Anderson added five points along seven rebounds according to my account.

The JV game was the only close call as Trinity pulled it out with 48-45 victory. Trinity led by four at half time but Hettinger-Scranton outscored them 11-7 in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter began knotted up at 30-30. The final stanza went back and forth before Trinity went ahead for good late in the game. According to my stats I had Madison Warbis leading Hettinger-Scranton with 11 points with Abbie Kludt and Nicole Landsem each chipping in with eight.

Nighthawk wrestlers placed five wrestlers at the 57th Cowboy Invitational wrestling tournament at Miles City, Mont. on Jan. 16-17. Coach Randy Burwick continues to put his wrestlers in tough tournaments to get them prepared for the Region and State contests.

Highlighting the Nighthawk successes was Kyle Burwick, who brought home the 103-pound championship and was also named the tournament’s outstanding wrestler. Colbey Steeke finished third at 205-pound division, Cale Schalesky fourth at 113-pound division, Alex

Andress 7th at 132-pound division and Chauncey Hughes eighth at 120-pound division.

Coach Burwick commented that, “The tourney was a very tough tourney and we wrestled very well. I know that we made ourselves better by the way we competed.

In JV results, Mason Defoe went 4-0 for 1st place, Ty Warbis 4-1 for second place and Chris Fisher 3-1 for second place. A great job by all the guys.”

Coach Burwick also mentioned that two or three wrestlers sustained injuries.

But they should have time to mend as their next competition isn’t until Jan. 29 against a tough Watford City team at Watford followed by

the East/West tournament on Jan. 30-31.

REEDER

Talking dogs, lots of laughs, fun evening Popular ventriloquist act, as seen on 'America's Got Talent,' coming to local theatre Performer Todd Oliver and his "talking" dogs highlight the third concert of the Dakota Concert Association’s (DCA) 2014-15 season.

The show takes place on Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Dakota Prairie Enrichment Center in Reeder.

“We’re excited to have one of this year’s concerts in Reeder and have enjoyed working with them on this event,” DCA chair Norm Smith said.

Audiences young and old will be entertained by the comedy of ventriloquist Todd Oliver and his real-life talking dogs.

His new show, "Todd Oliver and Friends," is filled with his canine companions Irving and Lucy, plus a "real" cast of characters like Pops and Miss Lilly and Smiling Eyes Band.

Oliver, who has been seen on America’s Got Talent, has also performed on "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson," on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and on "The Late Show with David Letterman," the latter who proclaimed Oliver as one of the top ventriloquists in the world.

Since 1998, Oliver has also been a featured performer on Branson, Mo.'s, showboat, the Branson Belle, moving in 2013 to the Haygood Family’s Americana Theatre with his new show, the one that he’s bringing to Reeder.

Tickets for admission to the 2014-15 season are available at KB Jewelers

in Hettinger or at the door the night of the event.

The Todd Oliver and Friends concert, plus other 2014-15 concerts in the DCA season are made possible through Allied Concert Series, Minneapolis, Minn.

Because of reciprocity

with the Dickinson Area Concert Association, DCA season ticket holders may also attend concerts of the Dickinson Area Concert Association (three remaining). Dates, times and places of both sets of concerts are listed on season tickets.
