‘THE REVENANT’: True story has ties closer than you think Museum director links Hugh Glass’s story to Bowman County

SPOILERS AHEAD: If you haven’t read the book or seen the film, “The Revenant,” and you plan to do so, stop reading now to avoid spoilers.

“Whatever the details, it was a marvelous show of stamina and courage.”

That’s the final sentence of a monument that pays tribute to Hugh Glass, a frontiersman that legend claimed had “returned from the dead” after a grisly bear attack. The memorial stands innocuously atop a random hill overlooking the Shadehill Reservoir, just south of Lemmon, S.D. The story of Glass, who was portrayed onscreen by Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio, is the basis for the recent film, “The Revenant.”

Accounts handed down through history place Glass’s legendary bear attack near Shadehill, but one local historian provided an interesting theory that he was actually left for dead right in Bowman County.

Typically, the mobile truck makes stops in various locations throughout the state every quarter. This year the truck will be making 26 stops, and that includes nine throughout southwest North Dakota.

“We will be visiting Adams and Bowman County once a quarter this year,” said Rachel Monge, Regional Ser-

In the past, the Great Plains Food Bank have partnered with local county food pantries to disperse food, however, the state food bank wanted to do a little more outreach in 2016.

No, the Bowman Park Board isn’t turning into Big Brother with the recent addition of security cameras in park facilities.

Rather, the board’s objective is to promote safety for residents and deter vandalism.

Cameras can now be found throughout the Rouzie Pool and Recreation Complex, Bowman City Park, the ballparks to the northwest of the city and Butte View Campground on Highway 12.

Bowman Parks and Rec Director Chanell Walby said many people were surprised to learn that the city’s parks and recreation facilities didn’t already have cameras. She

Rhame City Councilman Scott Luvaas will officially takeover the previously vacant position of municipal judge for the city.

The council appointed Luvaas during its regular meeting Monday.

City Auditor Margie Russ said a prior conversation with Steve Wild, the city attorney, led her to advertise the position. When she brought up the matter of advertising during the meeting, Luvaas volunteered. “Scott said, ‘No, I’ll do it.’”

“We needed a judge,” Luvaas told the Pioneer on Tuesday.

Though it’s not a particularly active role, according to Luvaas, the position does come with certain requirements.

Russ said new municipal judges are required to complete at least 18 hours of mandatory continued education during each three-year period of tenure. Luvaas will also have to complete a judicial orientation course within the first three months of taking office.

Russ said the last time the city heard a municipal case was in 2014. For the most part the city’s municipal issues are infrequent, and they are small

when they do occur. Incidences of city ordinance violations are heard before municipal judges. Russ said those issues likely involve dogs barking and other related nuisance issues. “(I) just do what I can,” Luvaas said.

He added that anybody could do the job if they wanted.

Bowman Municipal Judge Drew Henderson, who was elected in 2014, said he had declined to fill in as Rhame’s judge partly due to his busy schedule. Prior to Henderson’s election, Keith King had served as municipal judge but opted not to seek re-election.

REGION

North Dakota Farm Bureau is an unfaltering supporter of the growth and expansion of livestock in our state, regardless of size or type. Our track record proves that. In 2007, NDFB supported Ramsey County Farm Bureau in a lawsuit to make sure county and township zoning requirements for animal feeding did not overstep the authority of the state Health Department.

The North Dakota Supreme Court sided with Farm Bureau’s position.

In 2012, NDFB successfully amended the North Dakota Constitution to protect the right of farmers and ranchers to use modern technology on their farms and ranches.

Voters overwhelming agreed and passed the measure by nearly 67 percent of the vote.

So we were particularly troubled by the “stink” being raised by opponents of a proposed hog farm near Buffalo. While Rolling Green Family Farms is in the process of meeting all the rules

required by our state government for a farm of this type, a vocal group of opponents are portraying this farm as a threat to the public.

It didn’t help that North Dakota State University Agribusiness and Applied Economics research specialist Randy Coon used his title at the meeting to give the impression that our Land Grant Institution does not support livestock development. At the meeting, Coon stated, “Talk about economic impact, I have been doing those for 40 years, and they’re blowing sunshine at you.” What kind of message does that send? It was wrong and only added fuel to a fire that should not have been started.

Now news reports indicate that if enough “concerns” are raised, the Health Department will hold a public hearing. Rolling Green Family Farms is following all the procedures for approval, and the Health Department is following all the protocols

prior vandalism.

“Last fall we had a sink ripped off the wall in the bathroom,” Walby said.

“We’ve had damage throughout the years at city park – the toilets have been blown up, the water fountain out front has been jumped on and torn off the wall.” There have also been instances when people have stayed at the campground and not paid.

To help prevent such incidents, the cameras were purchased and installed this month.

“If something happens, then we can go down and review the tape,” she added.

“We’re just going to use it in case something happens, for investigation.”

to ensure environmental and safety concerns are addressed. What is there left to discuss?

As we see it, this should be a non-issue. The requirements are being met by Rolling Green Family Farms and the Health Department is doing its job as well.

So what really is the problem?

North Dakota Farm Bureau will stand with farmers who want to start or expand livestock production in North Dakota. It’s the right thing to do. It’s the lawful thing to do. It’s good for our economy. It’s good for our communities, and it’s good for the future of North Dakota.

(By Daryl Lies, President, North Dakota Farm Bureau)

But the cameras are also to promote safety.

High school students frequently work at the rec center, and when they have to close the facility alone, at night, it’s important they feel safe. “… it’s for safety, too.

Keep our kids safe.”

There are also security signs that point out the areas are under surveillance.

“We’re hoping that’s a big detour,” she said.

The total cost of the cameras was under $20,000 and they have no maintenance fee.

Walby originally had the idea to install cameras only inside Rouzie, but the board suggested they be placed at the other locations, as well.

we’re going to come to these counties to raise awareness.”

During the statewide road trip, the truck made stops in Reeder, Scranton, Bowman and Rhame, and were also slated to make a few stops in Dunn County. A scheduled stop in Hettinger was canceled after the truck experienced mechanical issues.

At each stop, volunteers were organized to help hand out food and other items.

The food is packed and loaded into the semi trailer in Fargo, where some 5,000 volunteers filter through the food bank to help out each year. Once the truck is loaded it heads out, making the scheduled stops and helping the hunger problem along the way.

Though Monge knows they can’t solve the state’s hunger problem in one trip, they are hoping that this mobile truck campaign can start a new movement.

“If people know about the food pantry and they’re there, they shouldn’t be afraid to use it,” Monge said.

Another hope, Monge said, is that this campaign can help connect area members with the local food pantries, and hopefully diminish the stigma of needing to use a food pantry.

“Our mission at the food bank is to end hunger through community partnership,” Monge said.

The mobile food truck is set to return to the area in April.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

n THIS WEEKEND: See ‘The Revenant’ at 7:30 p.m. Friday through Monday at Bowman

Theater, proudly sponsored by the Bowman County Pioneer and The Finder

REVENANT

FROM PAGE 1

By definition, a revenant is a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead. That’s how Glass placed his mark on history: being left for dead following a gruesome bear mauling and making his way hundreds of miles through dangerous territory to a Montana fort in the early 1800s.

“The Revenant,” released in theaters on Christmas Day, is director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s ambitious retelling of the story of Hugh Glass. It was based on the 2002 novel, “The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge,”

by Michael Punke.

A critic darling and an Academy Award nominee, the film’s storytelling depth was established partially through breathtaking cinematography and a haunting musical score.

While an epic narrative of survival on the frontier — and ultimately of bloodthirsty revenge per the film — much of the actual story in the film was periled by Hollywood’s typical, heavyhanded embellishment.

Details from the original incident were left out; inaccurate details were added that seemed to hype the original story of Glass. But that’s pretty acceptable because, despite an obvious effort to sell movie tickets, the filmmakers achieved the creation of a beautiful, prolific film and at least included some points of the actual premise.

But there were still some striking strays from the actual story.

In the end, which was completely altered for the film, Glass forgave the younger of his two fellow trappers — Jim Bridger — that left him for dead and spared the life of the other, John Fitzgerald.

He also did not have a son or at least not one with him on his expedition, according to historical accounts.

Those familiar with the story’s actual setting — the Dakotas and part of Montana — need look beyond the director’s decision to set the action in a tall mountain range. (The film was actually shot in Canada.)

The historical account of Glass’s bear attack and subsequent travails is nevertheless larger-than-life.

Though he hadn’t yet seen the film or read the novel, Pioneer Trails Regional Museum Director Dean Pearson was familiar with the tale of Glass.

While Pearson had heard details of the film from various people, he relied on historical details from several books he read regarding the expedition of Gen. William Henry Ashley’s party, of which Glass was a member.

Ashley, with Capt. Andrew Henry, was co-owner of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.

“Some of it was all right, but a lot of it didn’t match

■ DID YOU KNOW?

Filmmakers of “The Revenant” initially wanted the film’s action to take place near where part of the true story actually occurred. Producers of the film travelled to North Dakota several years ago to scout locations, but no filming could take place due to flooding. Ultimately the film was shot in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and southern Argentina, which inaccurately depicts the area of Hugh Glass’s expedition as mountainous.

■ WHAT DOES REVENANT MEAN?

By definition, a revenant is a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead. That’s how Hugh Glass placed his mark on history: being left for dead following a gruesome bear mauling and making his way hundreds of miles through dangerous territory to a Montana fort in the early 1800s. the actual history,” Pearson said of the film.

Glass’s real story began with the conflict that first faced Ashley’s group.

Ashley led a group of 100 men as they traversed along the Missouri River in 1823 in search of hides for a furtrading venture.

There was a problem with one of the group’s two boats when they arrived at an Arikara (A-rick-a-raw) village near the mouth of the Grand River as it meets the Missouri. Part of the group decided on a different route towards the Yellowstone River as the Native Americans made it difficult for the boats to pass.

“Rather than go all the way up and around the bend of the Missouri, then back down the Yellowstone, they would just follow the Grand River,” Pearson explained.

“Then, when the Grand River ended, they would just cut across country until they hit the Powder River.”

The group headed up the Grand River, which was where Glass was famously attacked by a large Grizzly bear trying to protect her cubs. He was nearly fatally mauled.

According to Pearson, after Glass was attacked, the group transported him on a makeshift cot and proceeded down to the headwaters of

the Grand, “which nobody knows exactly where that is.”

That’s where historical accounts became depleted.

The monument in Shadehill further described Glass’s experience — he dragged himself to the stream, sustained himself on seasonal fruit and meat obtained when he drove off wolves from a buffalo calf they had drowned. And “by some means and by an uncertain route” Glass appeared at Ft. Kiowa, below the Big Bend, 190 miles as the crow flies from the Forks of Grand River.

That much is verified history, according to the monument, which was erected in part by the South Dakota Historical Society.

But the problem is that the Grand River has two notable forks, one to the north and one at its south.

The south fork turns into a creek situated in Buffalo, S.D.; the north fork winds through the present day Bowman Haley Dam and ends south of Rhame.

In Pearson’s opinion, the group likely took the north fork because the south would put the group on the

south side of the Cave Hills.

If the group of men had followed the Grand River to its headwaters, they would have had to pass through Bowman County. And that, per Pearson’s theory, is where the group could have abandoned Glass and ultimately left him for dead.

“If that would have been at the headwaters of the Grand (River), then technically the spot where they left him could’ve been in Bowman County,” he said.

The rest of the party continued on their journey west.

In most cases, the early explorers stayed along the creeks because of the game looking for water and for their own water source.

“Maybe they followed the Grand then followed the Little Missouri north,” Pearson suggested. “Or maybe the O’Fallon creek into the Powder River.”

According to the story, Glass crawled back down the Grand River until he reached the fork of the Missouri River.

He returned about six weeks later to Fort Kiowa in eastern South Dakota, about

200 miles away.

He rested and adopted a new mission: retribution.

He ultimately travelled to a camp at the mouth of the Bighorn River in Montana.

He met back up with Ashley’s group and reenlisted with the company. After forgiving Bridger, Glass set out to find Fitzgerald, who he learned had enlisted in the U.S. Army.

Fitzgerald returned Glass’s stolen rifle when he was confronted. His life was spared, allegedly because Glass was wary of the penalty for killing a soldier.

About 10 years later Glass was killed by Native Americans near present day Williston. He was 51 years old.

Regardless if Bowman County actually was the setting for Hugh Glass to become a revenant, a tall legend in western folklore or simply an avid adventurer, Pearson said having Ashley’s group of furriers cross the county was interesting.

The group, including Bridger, would go on to become some of the greatest known mountain men that led much of the exploration of western North America.

Bergquist recalls taking over for her old piano teacher, Mrs. Westbrook, who was wife of the Methodist pastor who was shared with the Bowman church at that time. She had butterflies the first few times, especially since the pianist does not always know which hymns the congregation will request. But, she has served faithfully all this time. Now a CD provides music when she is unable, but she has faithfully provided the music for over half of the church’s 104 year history.

Three leadership conferences for members of the FFA were held in Bismarck on Jan. 9 and 10. The 101 conference, which was conducted by the North Dakota State FFA Officer team, was held at the Bismarck Civic Center. 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.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A LIFE STORY

‘Picking up the pieces of my life that words tore apart’

By LORI SOLA

For the Pioneer What I’m about to share is something I’m not proud of, but it’s a part of my story; it’s part of what has made me me.

As some may already know, I’m not afraid of telling my stories, but you must realize it’s one perspective.

I don’t pretend to know exactly what others may be experiencing, but I do know how it feels to be in a situation in which you do not know how to get out of.

When I got married for the first time, at the tender age of 20, I did not have much of a dating history. A guy I met my freshman year was five years older. He was smart, attended church with me, seemed to genuinely care for me. We dated for over a year and fell in love.

Or, so I thought.

Things started to change after I said, I do.

The uneasiness crept into my life in such a way that I can’t even tell when it began. The first red flag I remember was a cat being thrown across the room, hitting the stove; then a fist through the wall and the lie I had to tell the landlord. But it was the everyday verbal exchanges that kept building up over the years. They started out as seemingly insignificant then built to the point where I wondered what was wrong with me.

At the age of 25, I had what I refer to as my mid-life crisis. My self esteem was damaged, my voice diminished, and I wondered if that is what the rest of my life would be like. The feistiness in me no longer existed. Just like water can change the landscape, words changed me.

It wasn’t until I was 26 when a male co-worker simply asked me how my day was going that my wheels started turning. A co-worker was asking about my day.

My then-husband never cared about my day. My then-husband was too busy criticizing and controlling every aspect of my life — my

clothes, my hair, my body, how I cleaned the house, how I took care of the yard, the music I listened to, my pay checks, my faith.

There was no part of my life that was ever right.

During this whole time, I never spoke ill of my thenhusband. I never shared his verbal jabs, how I felt I was walking on eggshells in my own house, how the moment I heard him come home I would cringe and hold my breath.

I simply withdrew.

My mom would ask if he hit me, to which I could honestly say no. But I truly thought it would be easier if he had. Then I would know it would be okay to leave.

At 27, after being around co-workers that made me laugh, made me feel like my old self and, after numerous prayers, I felt strong enough to tell my then-husband that I was thinking about leaving.

He seemed to take pride in pointing out that I would not be able to afford the house or the car, he said no judge would ever believe my story, he said he would email all my friends and family to be sure they knew that I had a friend who was a guy and that I was the reason our marriage didn’t work.

Far be it for me to spoil anyone’s Christmas, so I waited until after the holidays to tell my family I was

years, I discovered just how dysfunctional my marriage was through assignments I covered for a newspaper.

Through a self-defense class and covering stories about domestic violence, I discovered what I lived through was abuse.

Two years after my divorce, I watched a video during a presentation I was covering and I felt like I was watching my own life unfold. The same words. The same manipulation. I felt like such a fool for not recognizing the abuse. I felt like a fool for allowing someone else to treat me like I was insignificant, that my opinion, my life, my choices did not matter. Once again I felt defeated, but learned that abuse is not just physical, it’s verbal, emotional, sexual, psychological and financial.

To this day I have issues with trust and being told what to do. And this past year I discovered that if someone raised their voice to me, I still shrivel and start to shake. That raised voice took me back to the feelings I hoped to never feel again. This time, however, I was strong enough to stand up for myself and speak my mind, but it took me about

In the end, I walked away.

I did not go to court to tell my side. I didn’t want his money. I didn’t want to feel he was the only reason I could make it on my own. I did not want his help.

Even though I felt like a complete failure, I was determined to make it on my own. I scrimped and scraped. I bought an old car from my folks, I got my own insurance, I used lawn furniture in my living room and kitchen. I literally started over.

a week to recover and feel somewhat comfortable around that person. (And no, this was not my current husband.)

Wounds heal, but words and feelings linger. For me, it’s like a tape recorder in my mind: sometimes the play button is triggered and those harsh words replay over and over again. My self

esteem is still fragile.

I share my experience on the heels of a domestic abuse story that was published last week. The details of which were hard to read.

I didn’t want to read them. I didn’t share my details, yet I believe you have an idea of what I went through.

We have become so desensitized over the years with the movies we watch, the music we listen to, what the media feels we need to know, but no matter what details we hear or read, we will never know what really happens behind closed doors. We will never know the fear, the doubts, the shame.

What I want you to know is that even being divorced for nearly 16 years, this is the first time I have shared my story publicly.

Thankfully, time has erased many of my memories and softened the harsh edges.

I can only hope that if others find themselves in similar situations that they are able to find help, rebuild their lives and share their story.

Twilight of the idols That’s Life By TONY BENDER Guest Columnist

Many choose the winter, I think, because who wants to waste a perfectly good spring?

David Bowie passed this month and then Eagles cofounder Glenn Frey. Before that, Natalie Cole, and Motorhead’s iconic Lemmy Kilmister, metal’s half-biker, half-pirate and 100-percent curmudgeon.

I was doing my weekly 12:40 Tuesday radio spot with Sandy Buttweiller on WDAY-Fargo, when she asked, “Why is it that it affects us this way when we lose people like that?

It’s not like we really knew them.”

A man weeping at Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s funeral procession was famously asked by a reporter if he knew Roosevelt. “No,” he replied. “But he knew me.”

Maybe that’s an answer here, too. There may be lots of answers. The soundtrack of our lives serves as mile markers from the past and a reminder that, as Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Here we are, just a few paragraphs in, and we have already referenced FDR and Ferris Bueller. Yosemite Sam may be next.

I first heard David Bowie—really heard David Bowie—on the third floor of Binnewies Hall at South Dakota State University, when my friend the Philadelphian, Joe Lavelle, lent me his copy of “Diamond Dogs.” Insisted I take it, really. The cover art was a prelude to a musical awakening, eerie, otherworldly, utterly fascinating and impossibly original.

Over the years, among songs that spoke to me was “Young Americans,” specifically when Bowie wonders, Do you remember, your President Nixon?

Do you remember, the bills you have to pay For even yesterday?

As a young man emerging from a world of Watergate, Vietnam, assassinations and civic unrest into an even

more dangerous age, with 22-percent interest on a $600 car loan, those words connected. David Bowie knew me.

Rock’s greatest chameleon exited on his own terms—as much as a dying man can—with his final gift to his fans, the album “Blackstar,” coming out #1 two days before he died.

The last photograph taken of the Thin White Duke revealed a man thinner than ever in a dapper funeral black suit, yet grinning, laughing, joyful, at peace at the end of a fantastic journey, knowing that with each replay, he rises again.

The new album contains a track called “Lazarus”: Look up here, I’m in heaven I’ve got scars that can’t be seen...

When Glenn Frey died, I immediately thought about my old friend, Gary Schlosser, who really connected with “Peaceful, Easy Feeling.” I figured he must be mourning, too, gazing back into his memory at calendar pages fluttering past, like autumn leaves in an early-winter wind.

Frey was the sweet, plaintive counterbalance to the Eagles’ other great lead singer, Don Henley, whose hard-edged Texas rasp pulled no punches. As the Eagles, they were the flagship for a country-tinged California rock sound. The players around Frey and Henley rotated from timeto-time, but the musical precision was always there, and it always had heart.

Frey expresses the cyclical nature of life and stardom, first as the next greatest thing in “New Kid in Town,” and then, later, when he warily watches the newest star move in. He recognizes how fleeting it all is and how painful it is likely to be when it is over.

You look in her eyes; the music begins to play Hopeless romantics, here we go again And like lemmings, Frey pointed out, we still take those big leaps because, when you are in midair, you can convince yourself you’re flying.

Idols are built to fall. It feels like the Twilight of our Idols, some of them too original to be replaceable, for sure. But, life being life, there’s always a New Kid in Town, and that is a gift.

The unconcerned chorus of the flying lemmings echoes forever, and that, too, is a gift.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘Farewell, it’s been a great journey’ It’s been a great journey throughout the last almost ten years working with the NDSU Bowman County Extension Service. I have decided that it is time to refocus and spend more time as an engaged mom and business part-

ner. I won’t be going far and still plan to stay active in the community while I become a full time “ranch mom” as my kids say.

The last years have gone quickly and I have enjoyed serving the citizens of Bowman County and North Dakota.

Countless board meetings, evening programs and weekend events have made for wonderful opportunities and challenges. I will miss the visits about crops, livestock, trees, bugs, community projects and especially the 4-Hers.

Thank you to everyone who has attended programs, sponsored 4-H events and awards, volunteered their

time and resources, shared an encouraging word or gave a smile. I am truly grateful for the experience I have had and the wonderful partnerships that have been developed with the Extension office. A huge thanks to my family for the support over the years.

I wish Amy Lick, NDSU Bowman County Family Consumer Science Agent, Sydnee Kidd, NDSU County Support Staff, and the new agriculture agent the best of luck as they continue to meet the needs of the citizens.

In Woonsocket Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Pioneer

This past weekend was the big storm in the east.

Now it did turn into a dang sure snowstorm. But unlike storms here, their snow will melt in a few days, the sun will come out, the cherry trees will blossom, and all will be well. Here, you get a storm in October, and that snow will most likely be there until May. There are some years when it doesn’t even melt, just wears out.

Three weeks ago, Washington got an inch of snow and ice and their world came to a standstill. But this big storm was in the forecast and they actually made it through pretty good.

I get a kick out of watching the weather reporters.

They bundle up and stand in a drift or a river. Hold-

ing onto umbrellas or hats and scarves. The one I enjoyed this weekend had ski goggles on! Really! Ski goggles on while he was giving the weather report.

I bet his wife was even embarrassed.

There were a few reported deaths from shoveling snow. I always warn Shirley about shoveling too fast.

It’s kind of like that saying I saw on facebook. “If you find me dead on a jogging path, you will know I was killed somewhere else and my body dumped there”!

I don’t suppose there is anything scarier than a good old Dakota whiteout.

You know the kind I mean.

One where you don’t dare go forward because you can’t see the road at all. You have Shirley hanging out the window trying to see the edge of the road. You don’t dare stop because you might get hit from the back.

One time Kenny and I were hauling a load of yearlings to Nebraska and got caught in a blizzard in South Dakota. It was a ripper. Somewhere on

281 we came to a junction where several trucks had stopped. We turned our truck east and shut down for the night. Wind must have been seventy mph and snowing hard. Visibility was less than zero!

By morning we had drifted in and our fuel was gelling up. We got the truck creeping ahead and made it into Woonsocket. That’s right! Woonsocket! At Woonsocket, the guy that owned the bar also owned a feedlot. He got his loader running and cleared snow so we could get the cattle unloaded. We spent the next three days between an old hotel and a bar and steakhouse in Woonsocket.

And that’s all I’m going to say about that, because Shirley reads this column.

But the best blizzard story I can come up with this morning relates to a friend I had in the legislature years ago. He had stopped at the Pour Farm south of Minot on his way home. Well, it was pretty nasty and he needed a break from the road. If I had been there, I wouldn’t have let him leave. You

know, “friends don’t let friends…” Anyway, he stopped and visited quite awhile. And when he took off he shouldn’t have been on the road. And luckily, he wasn’t for very long.

He ran in the ditch a bit down the road. And being a good law abiding citizen he was determined to not speed. That snow was blowing by his car and he kept both hands on the wheel. He held that speedometer at 55 mph for several minutes, not realizing he was sitting still.

The patrolman walked up to his window and tapped on it! Yeoww!!! You can imagine how that old boy jumped! To this day, he has never taken another drink.

I miss him.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Bryce K. Johnson, 94

Bryce K. Johnson, 94, of Scranton passed away at the Fort Meade VA Medical Center in Sturgis, S.D., on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2016.

Funeral Services for Bryce were on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Bowman Assembly of God Church. Pastor Ed Kvaale officiated with burial to follow in the Bowman Cemetery. There was a Family and Friends Service on Monday, Jan. 25, 2016 at 7 p.m. at the Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Home Chapel.

Bryce K. Johnson (BK) was born to Henry and Elvera (Anderson) Johnson on Flag Day, June 14, 1921 on their homestead south of Ralph, S.D. Bryce received his education at Ralph, Bowman, Gascoyne and lastly Scranton High School graduating in 1940. At the age of 15, Bryce (to some known as “Red”) rode the trains in the summer to Big Timber, Mont., looking for work, returning back home in the fall for school. After graduating he worked at the Ford Garage in Scranton.

Bryce enlisted in the Army Air Corp on April 9, 1943, immediately went to Fresno, Calif., then on to Denver for more training.

While at Denver he married his sweetheart, Annie O. Jorgenson, on Nov. 5, 1943 from Bowman. She accompanied him to Topeka, Kan., for more training before being shipped to Africa and then to Italy. On the way back from his fifth mission, June 26, 1944, his B24 was hit by enemy fire.

Due to the engines being knocked out of commission the crew prepared to parachute. Four men landed in Czechoslovakia, five in Hungary (including Bryce), and the plane landed in Austria.

Severely wounded, Bryce was immediately captured and after a time of healing, moved to a political prison in Budapest, Hungary. From here he was transferred to a dungeon beneath the prison called “Interrogation Center for Air Force Prisoners” for 30 days of solitary confineNment prior to interrogation. nShortly after this, two of the noncommissioned officers were sent to Stalog IV up in Pomerania, East Prussia. He was MIA for several months before his new bride was told through the Red Cross on Nov. 13, 1944 that BK was a POW in Stalog Luft IV. On Feb. 2, 1945, they began the “Black Death March” for three months across Germany. Liberated May 6, 1945, two days before the war was over. On Dec. 11, 1945 Bryce received his honorable discharge. Bryce and Annie began farming in 1946. In 1951 they moved to the family farm 12 miles south of Scranton, and resided there until his home going. He was married to his sweetheart three days short of 66 years.

He was a member of the Scranton American Legion Post #151 for 70 years, member of the Assembly of God Church since 1957 where he helped teach Sunday school and a deacon, school bus driver, worked at Scranton Equity, leader of the State Line Lad and Lassie 4-H club for almost 40 years. One of his grand highlights of his life was being the North Dakota Wagon Master for the Bicentennial wagon train in the fall of 1975 to July 4, 1976. In September 2005 he received six medals earned during WWII but had never received.

Bryce is survived by his children; Kenton (Charolette) Johnson, Keith Johnson, Brenda (Scott) George, and Leanne Allen, eight grandchildren; Jared (Kandi) Johnson, Brenton (Ashley) Johnson, Brooke ( Joe) Wormington, Cory George, Angie (Berna) Cruz, Jessica (Chris) Mann, Justin ( Jennifer) Bauman and Melina Bauman, soon to be 10 great grandchildren, sisters-inlaw; Leona Brewer, Floy Olson, Clarice Jorgenson, Ramona Johnson, brotherin-law, Vernon Peterson and many nieces, nephews and

OBITUARIES fine friends.

Bryce was preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Elvera Johnson, wife Annie, sister, Yvonne Fiene, brother, Wayne Johnson, brother-in-law, Ernie

Johnson Fiene, and grandson Kirby Johnson.

Stella M. Thompson, 90 Stella M. Thompson, 90, of Dickinson, formerly of Bowman, passed away on Monday, Jan. 18 at the St. Luke’s Home in Dickinson.

Funeral Services for Stella were at 11 a.m. Jan. 22 at the Bowman Assembly of God Church. Pastor Allen Wickstrom and Pastor Ed Kvaale officiated with burial to follow in the Bowman Cemetery. There was a Family and Friends Service on Jan. 21 at the Bowman Assembly of God Church beginning at 7 p.m.

Many years ago in a little log cabin church in Buffalo, S.D., Stella Thompson was given a prepaid ticket for Heaven. She endured many hardships, disappointments and heartaches through the years, but always was confident that in the end she would realize her final travel dream. On Monday afternoon, Jan. 18 at 6:09 p.m. with her family at the gate to send her off, attendants arrived to escort her to her chariot. She arrived to the splendor of her Heavenly home to meet Paul and Steve and other family and friends, all who had tickets for earlier arrival. She left all earthly belongings resting on the promise that she’d have everything she would ever need for eternity. She left her story for those who always wanted to know. Stella Marie Thompson was born on a ranch near Bullock, S.D., on Nov. 25, 1925 to Jack and Violet Burt. She spent her early life on her father’s homestead west of Buffalo, then moved into town to attend school and graduated from Buffalo High School in 1945. She moved to Seattle to live with relatives and work in a defense plant prior to graduation. She married Paul Thompson of Ludlow, S.D., on Nov. 16, 1946 when he returned from the Navy.

To this marriage was born four boys, Jim, born Sept.

19, 1947, Steve born Jan. 4, 1951, Rick, born May 19, 1954 and Mark born Oct. 21, 1955. Paul and Stella worked on ranches in northwest South Dakota until moving to Oregon in the mid 50s.

Paul worked on ranches in Eastern Oregon until moving back to North Dakota for a time in 1961, and then to Sturgis, S.D., less than a year later. Paul and Stella stayed in Sturgis until moving back to North Dakota in 1969. A final heart attack took Paul’s life in August 1971. Stella, who was already working in the first national bank in Bowman, became the head of the household and continued working at the Bank until her retirement. While in Bowman she was a char-

ter member of the Assembly of God church and served as treasurer there for many years. Most of the last part of her business life was spent running the travel agency for First National Bank in Bowman. She moved to Dickinson in 2006 to live at Park Avenue Villa. She was active there and enjoyed being close to her grandchildren.

She spent her time reading and drinking coffee and was much appreciated for her weekly “hair fixing” duties for the ladies of the Villa.

A stroke in the fall of 2011 changed all of that and she moved to the St Luke’s Nursing home. Where she lived until her death. When your ticket is delivered, please make plans to look her up in her mansion. Stella is survived by sons; Jim Thompson of Belle Fourche, S.D., Rick and Karen Thompson of Dickinson, Mark and Debbie Thompson of Dickinson; daughter-in-law, Judy Thompson of Williston; grandchildren, Kimberly (Darwin) Hanzlik, Kyle (Deanna) Thompson, Tara (Blaine) Brunell, Maverick ( Jenny) Thompson, Erica Thompson, Evan (Heather) Thompson, Sarah Smyle, Travis (Rochelle) Thompson, Shanna (Pete) Transtrom, Serena Thompson; 27 great grandchildren, three great-great grandchildren; sister, Gladys (Neil) Tennyson; brother, Bill (Ruby) Burt and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, son Steve, grandson Shawn and siblings Edwin Burt, Henry Burt and Lucille Cook.

Cecelia took great pride in her husband’s accomplishments in his trapping and fur business as well as ranching.

She was proud of being a

homemaker and loved raising her family. Cecelia was a major helpmate to her husband and was always willing to help with cattle, haying, trapping or whatever they were doing at the time.

She thoroughly enjoyed her grandchildren’s sports and extra-curricular activities. She is still a Beach Bucs fan! She also served as treasurer for the North Dakota Fur Takers Organization.

After moving to Beach some of her favorite times was getting together with her cousins in Glendive, Mont. Cecelia enjoyed serving with the ladies group at the Catholic Church at various functions.

Sandra Sparlund, 72 Sandra Morland Sparlund died in San Marcos, Calif., on Dec. 8, 2015, at the age of 72, from cancer. Sandra was born on June 29, 1943, in Bowman to Sandford and Mildred (Grange) Morland.

She was a single child. She went to the Amidon elementary school, and graduated from New England Public High School in 1961. While living in Amidon, during grade school, Sandy enjoyed riding horseback. She finally convinced her parents to buy her a horse named Ty, and she and her cousin, Linda (Morland) Stecher, and friends all rode horseback throughout the country. Sandy loved to dance; her favorite music was the 50 and 60s.

The snow pile will get removed on Main Street after this next storm.

MASON: Dept. Head Report: Mason had nothing to report because Jon Brosz will report on the same projects.

tion by Whitney, second by Sondeland to authorize the BCDC to have gaming at the Grazers Bar and Grill site including the gaming pull tab machine effective January 1, 2016. RCV= all aye, MC. WHITNEY Rhame Five Year Garbage Contract: Hofland and Whitney went to the Rhame Commission Meeting and there was not a quorum, they will be going back next Tuesday to review their contracts.

Request for Comments to be added to 12/1/15 Minutes: Whitney felt his remarks during the Industrial Park discussion were drastically understated in the minutes presented to the commission. He requested to have the following points added that he said he made: The BCDC funded Feasibility Report contained several “ifs” that were the basis of our discussions: page 2: “if the project made sense” and “if the economics of the project made sense”, “Then the parties would contribute funding…” This is not a blanket statement of support.

BCDC report states that “The site is generally poorly drained… see soil report” (page 16) and reenforced on page 5 of the “Boring Report” “Drainage is poor throughout the site” and in the appendix following page 11: “Unable to reach boring holes 3 and 7 due to water; moved boring hole #5 45 feet to south due to water”; holes 1, 2 & 4 had water table measurements of 6 feet or less.

Holes left from the removal of the decommissioned airport fuel tanks are in fact now filled with water.

The soils under the decommissioned airport are in fact identical to those under the 11th Ave SW where we are spending $2.4 million to rebuild. Same is true for many of the homes in SW Bowman just east of 11th Avenue most of which require a sump pump to keep even their basements dry in wet years.

There are other locations near to and inside the city limits that are better ground for an Industrial Park.

Motion by Sondeland, second by Whitney to add the corrections that Whitney asked to be made regarding the comments he said he made during the meeting of the December 1, 2015. RCV= all aye, MC. CHECKING ACCOUNT BIDS James opened the checking account bids, we received two bids, one from Dakota Western Bank and one from Dakota Community Bank.

Dakota Western Bank: Option One: One year bid: .61% APR/APY Option Two: Two year bid: .85% APR/APY Dakota Community Bank: Option One: One year bid .40% APY Option Two: Two year bid .75% APY Motion by Limesand, second by Whitney to accept DWB fixed rate of .61% for one year for the City of Bowman Checking Account.

RCV= all aye, MC. CLEANING BIDS: We received two bids for the City Hall and Joint Shop cleaning services: Catherine Hedge: City Hall $450 Joint Shop: $350 Aurora Keppler: City Hall $425 Joint Shop: $375 Motion by West, second by Whitney to accept Cathy Hedges bid for City Hall in the amount of $450 and Aurora Keppler’s bid to clean the City/County Joint Shop in the amount of $375. RCV=all aye, MC. PARK AND REC Walby handed out their 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan which shows the 2016 Butte View Campground Improvement Project. They want to update their electrical hookups, add water and expand the septic system.

People drive in and drive out because they need more than 110 hookups. The applied for a grant and it is tentatively approved for 50% through State Park and Rec. They are applying for a Heritage Fund Grant and ND Tourism Grant. The county approved up to $35,000, so if the grants come in with more money, their ask will go down from the County and they are requesting $5,000 from the City. They want to ask Tax and Tourism Board for $5,000 also. The Commission would feel more comfortable if the request goes into next year, and asked Wlaby to come to the next meeting in 2016. Walby would like us to draft a letter in favor of the project and that we are going to support this project with funds.

LIQOUR LICENSE APPLICATIONS: Windy’s Bar and Pizza: An application for a Class I On and Off Sale Liquor and Beer License was applied for. Cummins had promised to put a window in the back wall so you could see through to the patio and they have not complied.

Headley feels the Commission should address this issue. The back patio gate should be used as an exit only gate, not an in and out gate and they need a window to see through from the inside to the outdoor patio. Currently there is not room for a window as a large TV is covering that area. If they made their patio gate have no entry from the alley to the patio, this would remedy the problem.

Motion by Limesand, second by Sondeland to approve the renewal of Cummins Enterprises liquor license for Windy’s Bar and Pizza contingent upon them putting an exit only gate in the patio area to the alley and must be approved by the police department by May

SPORTS GIRL’S BASKETBALL

Night Hawks, Bulldogs face off on court

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

It was an evening of three exciting basketball games in Bowman with numerous turnovers and personal fouls thrown in for good measure. The two C teams were first up and after three quarters it looked like the young Night Hawks had the game well in hand with a 3417 lead. But the Bulldogs were not ready to quit as they threw a full court press at the Night Hawks for the entire fourth quarter, creating many turnovers and holding the Night Hawks to zero points while scoring 13.

The Night Hawks managed to escape with a 34-30 win.

Abbi Steeke led the Night Hawks in scoring 13 and I had Justice Anderson leading in rebounds. Jill Svihovec paced the Bulldogs with nine points.

The junior varsity game was very similar to the C game, as the Night Hawks outscored the Bulldogs in each of the first three quarters and were leading 41-30. Then the dreaded fourth quarter started and the pressure put on by the Bulldogs pulled them within one late in the quarter. But the Night Hawks managed to pull out a 43-42 victory.

Alyssa Andress had a nice all around game for the Night Hawks with 14 points and six rebounds.

Svihovec led again in scoring with nine for the Bulldogs, but her biggest shot was a 3-pointer with a little over a minute left in the last quarter that put her team within one point.

It was Maroon and White versus Black and Blue on the girl’s court. (Photo by Jason Waskiewicz/Pioneer) Cashae McGee had a nice game for the Bulldogs with seven points and team leading nine rebounds.

But what was possibly the biggest 3-pointer was Steeke of the Night Hawks at the very end of the first half. With three seconds left she received an inbounds pass, turned and fired just before the buzzer sounded and her shot hit

nothing but net.

She had to have been two feet behind the 3-point line at the time of the shot.

The look on her face was priceless as I think she was more surprised than anyone else.

As it turned out that 3-pointer may very well have been the difference in the outcome of the game.

The varsity game was nip and tuck throughout the game. Bowman up by two after the first quarter, the Night Hawks leading by one at half time and Bowman back on top by one after three quarters.

Again, the Bulldogs outscored the Night Hawks in the last quarter, but this time Hettinger/Scranton came out on top 51-45.

Leading the Night Hawks in scoring was Molly Holt with 16 and Abbie Kludt with 13. Kludt led in rebounding with nine.

Mikayla Bartholomay had 16 for the Bulldogs with 12 or 13 in the third quarter alone. She was scoreless in the first half.

Freshman Ellie Stafford added 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Patriots vs. Hazen sweeps Night Broncos: A Hawks in girl’s basketball game for the ages

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

The Vikings Vine By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

During the playoffs and through the Superbowl, I will be bringing you coverage of the games as they happen, as well as news and notes from the Vikings.

Skol!

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos The Patriots flew to Denver to take on the Broncos, and this game was one for the ages. In possibly their last contest against each other, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning went back and forth in what has become one of the greatest rivalries in sports between two players, having now played 17 times (with this being Manning’s sixth win against Brady.)

Peyton Manning had one of the plays of the day, a play he called (finger air-quotes and all) “the run”. It was during the third quarter, with the Broncos facing third down. Manning dropped back to pass, didn’t see anyone open, so he decided to run for a gain of 12 yards and a touchdown. That play was one that helped seal the game for Denver.

To me, the biggest factor came down to the Broncos’ defensive line, which is one of the best in the league, against the Patriots’ offensive line which has been in flux this entire season. Brady was sacked or hit 23(!) times on Sunday on his 56 drop backs, and he was also pressured into throwing two interceptions with only one touchdown.

Even after taking a pounding all game, Brady and the Patriots still had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Down by eight points with under two minutes remaining in the game, Brady was able to drive the Patriots down the field and hit Gronkowski in the end zone with twelve seconds remaining, making the score 20-18. All of a sudden, this back and forth game came down to one play: the two point conversion. On the final play for the Patriots, Brady dropped back but was unable to find an open receiver before being rushed, which forced Brady to heave the ball into the end zone where a Denver player intercepted it and sealed the game for Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers If the Patriots/Broncos game was an instant classic, the Cardinals/Panthers game must be considered a classic beat down. The final score was 49-15 in favor of

Carolina, and to be honest the score makes this game appear closer than it actually was.

Arizona was simply unable to get anything going offensively. Until this season, the knock on Carson Palmer was that he is unable to win playoff games. He was able to get that monkey off his back when the Cardinals beat the Packers last week. But Palmer did not look like himself in the game against the Panthers, only able to throw for one touchdown against four (!) interceptions and two fumbles.

Carolina looked like a juggernaut against Arizona, and Cam Newton looks liked like the best quarterback playing on Sunday. Cam was able to complete 19 of 28 passes for 335 yards and two touchdowns, while also running the ball 10 times for 47 yards and two more touchdowns.

Superbowl 50 is set, and Carolina is an early four point favorite. Denver will have to bring their A game if they want to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the Mile High city. The biggest matchup to me will be Broncos’ defense attempting to slow down Cam Newton and the rest of Carolina’s offense. I know Denver was able to pressure Tom Brady 23 times on Sunday, but there is a big difference between Brady and Newton. Brady is not known for being a mobile quarterback, while Newton will scramble to extend plays and can pick up yards with his feet if needed. Not to mention, Newton is 6’5” and 245 pounds, so even if you get a hand on him it’s difficult to bring him down.

As much as I respect Peyton Manning and would love to see him get one more ring before he calls it quits, I just don’t think there is any way Denver will be able to slow Carolina down enough, and because of that I believe the Panthers will be the next Superbowl champions.

Random Vikings notes Harrison Smith has been named to the Pro Bowl, which now makes three Vikings who will be in Hawaii (Adrian Peterson and Everson Griffen).

The Vikings brought in former Head Coach and recent offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, although it is unclear what his role will be.

The only opening on the Vikings’ coaching staff is at the running backs coach position, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see the Vikings create a position just for Shurmur.

This is a great addition in my opinion, as it never hurts to have more coaching experience on the team.

The Vikings have signed Terrell Sinkfield, a standout CFL wide receiver. Standing 6” and weighing 200 pounds, it has been reported that Sinkfield ran the 40-yard dash in 4.19 seconds in 2013 at Minnesota’s Pro Day.

The Hazen Bison came to town on Jan. 21 to take on Hettinger/Scranton and came away with a sweep of all three games. The two C teams started the evening off and the Night Hawks held a 7-6 lead after the first quarter but it was all downhill after that.

The young Bison team outscored the Night Hawks 34 to 12 over the last three quarters to take a 40-19 victory. Hazen pressured the home team much of the game causing many turnovers.

The junior varsity game turned out to be a tale of two halves. Hazen outscored the Night Hawks 31-21 in the first half and Hettinger/Scran-

ton took the second half 20-14 but came up short in their 45-41 loss. The fourth quarter was almost the turning point for the Night Hawks as they outscored Hazen 12-6, and got within two points with a minute and 19 seconds left on the clock. Hazen was inbounding the ball in the Night Hawk end of the court, and the inbounds pass found a wide open Hazen player at the Hazen end of the court who went in for an easy layup.

The Night Hawks turned the ball over on their next two possessions, that sealed the win for Hazen.

Briana Sanford and 8th-grader Alyssa Andress paced Hettinger/ Scranton in scoring with 11 each.

Nine of Andress’ points came from the free throw line. Justice Anderson

again led the way in rebounds as I had her down for eight.

In the varsity game Hazen led at every stop and downed the Night Hawks 51-31.

Hazen is one of the top tier teams in Region 7 as they came in with a 6-1 region record. Their only region loss was to Trinity. They have some height on the team, shoot and pass well and are not afraid to fire past the 3-point line.

They recorded seven 3-pointers in this game. Leading the way for HS in scoring was Molly Holt with eight and Liz Thompson with seven. Seniors Krista Slaubaugh and Kayla Lindquist led the Bison in scoring with both having eleven points and pacing their team in rebounds also.

Night Hawks route New England

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

No. 13 was back with his 3-point shooting as Hettinger-Scranton won their fourth straight game with a 66-43 win over New England at Scranton on Jan 26.

Hayden Sadowsky had not been firing away past the 3-point line in a consistent manner since the season started, but he was on target this night. He nailed eight 3-pointers and totaled 37 for the evening. The whole team was playing aggressive defense and fast paced. Night Hawk defense was particularly tough on 6-foot-8 Cody Holt of the Tigers as he was held to just two points in the first half. Holt ended up with team leading 17 points but 15 of those came in the second half when the game was well in hand and the Night Hawks were substituting freely.

The half time score was 31-16 and

Sophomore Isaiah Kludt takes the ball down the court against the New England Tigers. the Night Hawks increased the lead to 56-25 after scoring 25 in the third quarter, 19 from Sadowsky. Frustration was evident for New England as two technical fouls were called on them, one on a player and the other on the coach.

It was a packed house and the Night Hawk fans were enjoying it as Hettinger/Scranton won the first two games, also to sweep the evening.

Brett Christopherson had a good night as he scored 13 to lead the C team to a 46-34 victory over the Tigers C team. Jacob Dix added 11 and had six rebounds.

The Night Hawk JV team got off to a quick start by outscoring the Tigers 26-11 in the first quarter and kept adding to the lead in the next three quarters. The Night Hawk’s offense managed to get numerous players open near the basket for easy shots and their defense gave them many fast break layups off of steals.

Tate Resner led the way in scoring for HS with 18 counters which included four 3-pointers. Jaxon Mellmer added 15 and Jordan Dilse with 12.

John Wolf led the Tigers with 10 and Devin Wert added eight.

for direct lighting. They come in blue, orange, yellow, green, and white.

Iside, Melissa, Sibilla – these are flush mounted chandeliers featuring swirls of rigid wire, crystals, and blue & green flat glass pieces.

Leda – this is a chandelier that comes with 6, 8, 0r 12 + 6 bulbs. They come in multi-color, or opaline milk white glass. When I was a student of Interior Design I used the Leda multicolor Suspension in a Children’s Clinic that we had to design. I had no idea that I would eventually work for the company that designed it.

Logico – these suspension fixtures are shaped like puzzle pieces and can be configured in single, linear, or quadruple groupings. They have a satin finish making them look like clouds.

Pantalica – this suspension fixture come in transparent red, blue, and black and crystal and opaline white.

It features up light, using 6 60W bulbs.

When I worked for Artemide, our showroom displayed around 100 fixtures in the Artemide line - we had on display the Fenice and the Logico fixtures and I had the opportunity to order the Pantalica in red for a customer – when we opened the box to the beauty of the glass took our breaths away.

I will always look back at the 6 years I managed the Artemide Showroom, Minneapolis as very wonder filled. When I visited International Market Square as a student I had no idea that I would eventually work there, using my design skills to help both residential and commercial customers meet their lighting needs.

I hope you have enjoyed this small trip into the world of hand blown glass.

I have always been intrigued by glass blowing and the skills needed to master it.

Definitions: Hand-blown – shaped by means of a hand held blow pipe.

Blow-pipe – a tube through which a stream of air or gas is forced into a flame to concentrate and increase its heating action. They are also called blow tubes or blow irons.

These long metal tubes are used to gather and blow the molten glass in making hollow-ware (having a space or cavity inside).

Murano – an island suburb of Venice noted for its glass manufacturing.

Murano glass – hand blown glass used in numerous Artemide fixtures.

The Artemide Group – founded by Ernesto Gismondi in 1959, today operates throughout the world. They have productions centers in Italy, France, Germany, the USA, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Their management policy is to satisfy all lighting needs.

My work in the Artemide Showroom brought me face to face with many fixtures that were hand–blown. They range from very diminutive to very large fixtures.

Artemide does residential lighting but also huge commercial installations.

All of the hand-blown components of the fixtures were blown on the island of Murano, Italy.

All of the fixtures I feature today display hand-blown glass. Tiny bubbles, as part of the blowing process, are sometimes seen in this type of glass.

Fixtures – Fenice, Iside, Pantalica, Leda, and Logico are some the suspension fixtures that Artemide manufactures.

Fenice – these are tiny, colored orbs that can be used over a counter
