Man faces felony charges for alleged assault, burglary

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A Bowman man appeared in court on Thursday for his first hearing on two felony charges that resulted from an alleged domestic incident in midDecember.

Codee Wickstrom, 23,

appeared before Judge Zane Anderson in Bowman County Southwest Judicial Court for a preliminary hearing on one count of aggravated assault, a Class C Felony, and one count of burglary, a Class B Felony. Wickstrom faces a possible maximum sentence of 15 years in prison if found guilty.

The Bowman Police Department received a complaint Dec. 17 that Wickstrom’s former girlfriend, 21, was physically assaulted and her residence burglarized.

According to police reports, Wickstrom allegedly broke through the front door of his ex-girlfriend’s apartment on 11th Avenue SW in Bowman several

hours after midnight. The woman reported to police that she had been asleep on the couch in her living room, along with their 3-year-old daughter, when Wickstrom forced his way into the apartment while intoxicated.

An argument over the former couple’s relationship ensued and the woman asked Wickstrom to

Rhame City Commissioner Scott Luvaas will no longer face a felony charge for an incident last year when he allegedly made a threat while holding a gun, according to the Bowman County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Luvaas, 43, of Rhame first appeared in Bowman’s Southwest Judicial District Court in October where he faced a Class C felony charge of reckless endangerment. Luvaas pleaded not guilty to that charge, as well as to a misdemeanor charge of menacing, and a felony jury trial was scheduled for Dec. 31.

That trial was cancelled last month as interim Bowman County State’s Attorney Jim Gion negotiated a plea agreement with Luvaas.

According to court records, the plea deal was entered into on Dec. 17 and stipulated that if Luvaas agreed to plead guilty to a lesser count of reckless endangerment, the felony charge would be dropped. The other charge Luvaas faced, a Class A misdemeanor charge of menacing, would be dismissed, according to the agreement.

Luvaas received a 10-day suspended sentence of imprisonment, meaning he would not serve jail time but would be placed on 18 months of non-reporting probation, per the agreement.

Luvaas was ordered to pay $725 in fines and fees, according to records.

Judge Dann Greenwood accepted the plea Dec. 31. “… Many factors go into plea negotiations, including the cost of bringing witnesses to the trial, the gravity of the offense and whether it appears there is a resolution that will accomplish what needs to be done short of trial,” Gion said in an email to the Pioneer on Tuesday.

“On July 19, 2014, defendant acted in a manner which created a risk of serious bodily injury to another, within Bowman County,” the plea agreement stated.

Bowman County Sheriff Deputy Jordan Fisher reported last year that he was on patrol July 19 in Rhame when a man told him that Luvaas created a disturbance involving the man’s wife, child

Weather to be perfect for ice fishing on Bowman-Haley Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Stuart Sather likes to close up shop after business hours on a mildly pleasant winter day, grab a beer, some friends and head down to Bowman Haley Dam for some ice fishing — a trend that’s becoming more popular in Bowman County.

With each wintry season brings larger crowds to the thick ice-covered Bowman Haley Lake, according to Sather of Bowman.

“Each year there seems to be more and more people,” he said.

The sport of ice fishing is as old as the discovery of fishing rods, but its methods have changed drastically over the past 20 years. Technology paved the way for a fisherman or fisherwoman to drill and check hundreds of holes in a single day, if they were so inclined.

Those doing it merely for something to do on a cold winter’s day, however, rest easy in large shelters called shan-

NEWS BRIEFS Jury duty scam courts new N.D. victims The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) is warning the public about a jury duty scam which, regrettably, never goes out of style. Though most adults are aware they may be called for jury duty, not everyone is familiar with the bureaucracy surrounding this process or with the exact manner in which people are summoned for jury duty. People also know that jury duty is both a civic duty and mandatory. Scammers, meanwhile, look to profit off situations where uncertainty exists.

How the jury duty scam works is scammers contact you, claiming you’ve missed jury duty. The calls or messages threaten people with arrest or jail time if they don’t pay the fine for “missing” jury duty. Scammers will then seek personal information such as bank account or credit card numbers – even Social Security numbers. BBB advises the public that if you get a call from someone who claims to be a court official and asks for sensitive personal information or demands a payment, it’s a scam.

The BBB says the best way to avoid the scam is primarily by not letting scammers pressure you.

If you get a call from alleged court officials asking for financial information, end the phone call and report the scam to BBB and your county’s jury office.

Active tuberculosis case identified in Mountrail County According to the North Dakota Department of Health, an individual in Mountrail County has been diagnosed with active tuberculosis. The department is working with local school and health providers to provide free testing to those who may have been exposed to this infectious case of TB, and to make sure anyone diagnosed with TB receives proper treatment.

Tuberculosis is a serious but treatable disease that is only infectious in the “active” state. It is not spread easily, but can be spread through droplets if an infected person coughs or sneezes in close contact with an uninfected person. You cannot get TB from someone’s clothes, drinking glass, eating utensils, a handshake, toilet, or other surfaces. You also cannot get TB through casual contact, such as being in the same room with someone who is infected.

Bowman, Rhame, Scranton could get millions of dollars State to discuss onetime, $800M ‘surge’ bill next week

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A little more than $1 billion is sitting unused on the state’s balance sheet and a group of Republican legislators from western North Dakota want it spent, well, at least some of it.

Sens. Rich Wardner of Dickinson, Kelly Armstrong of Dickinson, John Andrist of Crosby and Rep. Mike Schatz of New England called for the legislature to consider an $800 million one-time “surge” fund for use in heavily impacted areas affected by North Dakota’s overwhelming oil production.

The funds would be used for many infrastructural needs, such as the creation of roads, building affordable housing and spurring other community development.

Authors of the bill said they expected debate to ensue once the legislature takes on the task of the bill’s consideration. That will occur Jan. 16, as a legislative session has been

scheduled for discussion on the bill that day.

Though, if oil prices drop too low—the price of one barrel of Brent crude oil is now hovering below $50 as of Wednesday—the state’s oil extraction tax gets waived.

Laws dictate that if oil

year that Bowman County and its cities would be in line to receive such surge funding, if legislators ultimately passed a bill to approve it.

James said, however, that the method potential fund’s distribution rapidly changes as it is further debated.

Bowman County was listed as sixth in line for the suggested direct allocation, proceeding McKenzie, Mountrail, Williams, Dunn and Divide counties.

The biggest opposition

If oil prices fall below $52.59 for five consecutive months, oil companies would no longer have to pay the state’s 6.5 percent oil extraction tax. prices fall below $52.59 at the Oklahoma hub for five consecutive months, oil companies would no longer pay the state’s taxation on oil extraction, which is responsible for providing the state with its large fund surpluses.

Lyn James, president of the Bowman City Commission, announced last

to the formula change, said James, comes from the eastern and central areas of the state. James said last year that she heard those areas asking, “What’s in it for me?”

The answer to that is about $150 million, which the bill would direct for non-oil producing areas such as the state’s east

side.

Of the total $800 million, $475 would be allocated directly for oil-producing political subdivisions. $140 million would be given to major western cities such as Dickinson and Williston and $35 million for schools within oil counties.

The city of Rhame could expect a big allocation, according to Teran Doerr, executive director of the (AB Bowman County Development Corp.

Doerr spoke to the Rhame City Board of Commissioners last month to alert the board that such a stimulus would be discussed soon by legislators and, if passed, Rhame could see about $800,000.

That number, however, is purely arbitrary considering the bill has yet to be discussed as well as its distribution method.

“We actually talked to Brosz (Engineering) and they’re kind of setting up a wish list for us,” said Margie Russ, Rhame City Auditor. “It’s a comprehensive plan for Rhame, but it is a wish list.”

Russ said the commissioners were optimistic.

“They’re all for it – whatever they need to do, they’re ready to work together and get it done,” Russ said. “It would be nice if we could get that money. It would sure help.”

FISHING » FROM PAGE 1 to 30-degree temperatures attracting many people out to the popular spot.

This time of year is best for heading onto the ice to fish, with the thickness of the ice being from 12 to 14 inches thick, which Sather said is the only thickness at which he’d feel comfortable taking out his truck and trailer on the ice.

Sather said he has sonar units that will measure depth to the bottom of the lake, but to gauge the thickness of the ice is somewhat trial-and-error.

Sather uses an ice auger, which essentially is a drill, to drill test holes through the ice to measure its thickness.

“For living in North Dakota, it’s just something to do,” Sather said.

While ice fishing isn’t as famous in North Dakota as it is for its easterly neighbor, the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”— the world’s largest ice fishing contest is held north of Brainerd, Minn., each January—it still makes for a sometimesfrigid yet fun time.

Wickstrom then apologized and offered to take her to the hospital, but she once again ordered him to leave, according to the report. Wickstrom then left the apartment.

The woman drove her-

nie Pretzer told the Pioneer that she originally recommended the bond for Wickstrom be set at $7,000 cash before he could be released. She also suggested there be no contact between Wickstrom and his ex-girlfriend.

“I found that (the charges) were very serious,” Pretzer said.

Anderson amended the bond to $1,500 because Wickstrom did not pose a flight risk and was local

to the area, according to Pretzer. Anderson, however, agreed there should be no contact between he two.

Wickstrom paid the bond as was subsequently released.

Will Obama veto pipeline bill?

White House spokesperson says 'yes'

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net As promised after it was defeated in the Senate last year, a bill to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline project was introduced this week to the new session of U.S. Congress.

Sen. John Hoeven, RN.D., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., introduced legislation Jan. 6 for Congress’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. It was the first piece of legislation brought to the floor for the 114th Congress.

It was indicated that 123 senators have shown support for the legislation and Hoeven said

last year he was certain it would have enough support to finally pass once the new Congress began its session this year.

But it wasn’t completely hopeful news as White House spokesman Josh Earnest issued a statement that President Barack Obama won’t sign the senator’s Keystone XL approval bill if it passes Congress.

“President Obama’s veto threat comes as no surprise,” Hoeven said in a statement on Tuesday. “...The Keystone XL pipeline will have no significant environmental impact. That’s why the American people overwhelmingly support it, by 70 percent in the polls,” Hoeven added.

Both Hoeven and Man-

chin serve on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee (ENR) and are working to bring the bill through the committee and to the floor for debate with an open process for amendments.

The committee planned to hold a hearing on the measure Wednesday and a vote on the legislation at a business meeting on Thursday.

The legislation authorizes TransCanada to construct and operate the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta, Canada, to the U.S. Gulf Coast, transporting an additional 830,000 barrels of oil per day to U.S. refineries, which includes 100,000 barrels a day from the Bakken region of North

The measure formally recognizes the most recent, an final, environmental impact statement released in January 2014, which concluded that construction of the Keystone XL pipeline would have no significant impact on the environment.

Hoeven maintains that, “the project will create thousands of jobs, boost our economy, reduce our reliance on Middle Eastern oil and make our country more secure.”

The Keystone XL pipeline project has been under review for more than six years, with five environmental reports completed to date.

Looking ahead to 2015 it’s hard not to get excited, or stay excited, about the excellent fishing prospects that lie ahead for North Dakota.

None of us who are anglers today have ever lived through a time when the state has had more fishing waters than it does right now.

Many of these waters have developed quality fisheries over the past several years, and may not even have reached their peak just yet.

People are already noticing, too. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department issued a record number of fishing licenses over the 201314 licensing year, and it’s likely that number will go even higher for the 2014-15 licensing year that ends March 31.

Of course, as bright as the year ahead looks for fishing, significant chal-

lenges remain for deer and pheasants aren’t going away. Of immediate concern is the winter, which so far isn’t bad.

November was much colder than average, but things moderated in December and as of the first of the year, much of the state had little or no snow.

A lot of winter remains, but to this point you could describe it as generally “wildlife friendly.”

But even if the entire winter is generally moderate, that’s still not nearly enough to allow pheasant and deer numbers to rebuild all at once.

It took 20 years of the Conservation Reserve Program, and a string of relatively mild winters to grow pheasant numbers in North Dakota to a point where the annual harvest approached 1 million roosters in 2007. Compare that to the five years prior to the first CRP contract in North Dakota – in the early 1980s – when the average pheasant harvest was less than 130,000 birds.

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Happy New Year!

I know you are not supposed to air your dirty laundry in public. At least that’s what my mother used to tell me. But I just have to get this off my chest. Shirley says I am starting to act like Grandpa Jack and Uncle Hugh.

Two of my favorite people of all time. You see, they always found work for us to do on holidays.

They would decide to preg check cows on New Year’s Eve. And it would be done up on the rez in the A. I. Pasture. The pasture was on a hill overlooking Moccasin Creek. In the winter it was always cold and windy.

In the summer it was hot and windy. I guess it was built to keep the flies away. The only thing I could figure out.

Or they would decide to trail cows home from Charlie’s on St. Patrick’s Day. Or start a roundup on Thanksgiving. Or

brand the first week in July.

And she accused me because I was looking at the forecast for the next week or so and trying to pick a day to preg check our cows. While nieces and nephews and kids are around to do a major part of the work. Christmas week was out because of family dinners and family travels. I’m not just talking Christmas Day or Eve. I’m talking the week.

There is sledding and skiing and ice-skating and snow boarding and dinner at every relative and some people I don’t even know.

So I looked at next week. Can’t. New Years.

What? Why not New Years Eve? We will be done mid afternoon. I mean how many Tom and Jerry’s can you drink?

Someone might invite us over. Oh. I guess she is right.

She usually is. And it won’t hurt to feed those old cows up a little after that cold snap last week.

And by then, I might find someone to nail shoes on a horse anyway.

As usual, you just start getting over Christmas and New Years pops up.

Now, if I were in charge,

Say Anything By Rob Port

Rep. Roscoe Streyle, a Republican member of North Dakota’s state House who represents the Minot area, has proposed legislation which would change how the state addresses vacancies in its representation in the U.S. Senate.

Currently the Governor appoints a replacement.

Streyle’s legislation would require an immediate special election allowing voters to pick the replacement.

This is clearly aimed at Sen. Heidi Heitkamp who is widely rumored to be considering a run for Governor in 2016.

If Heitkamp won, she’d get to appoint her own replacement. Streyle aims to make sure that the race

for Governor is only about who is Governor, and not who is Senator too.

Democrats are reacting now, and according to state party director Chad Oban this is a sign that Heitkamp is an almost sure thing in 2016. “But clearly the Republicans are scared to death that she might, if they’re willing to change the rules in order to affect her decision,” he told Mike Nowtazki.

That comment deserves a “lol” or maybe even the lesser-known “lel” which I learned recently stands for “laughing extremely loud.”

Republicans, in a state that hasn’t elected Democrat as Governor since the 1980’s, are afraid of Heitkamp the political powerhouse who won election to the U.S. Senate by less than 1 percentage point against a weak Republican candidate who ran a very poor campaign.

Heitkamp is, to be sure, the most formidable Democrat candidate in

I would space them out a little better. You should have like a month in between major holidays.

I would celebrate New Years in August. We don’t have any good holidays in August. You could go to the lake. Go golfing. Rope steers. Have a family picnic. I mean, the whole world is waiting for a good August holiday.

Instead, we celibate, I mean celebrate, but that too, in the winter when it is ten below and snowing!

You have to sit around in the dark for hours waiting for the stroke of midnight so you can hug and kiss people you don’t really like and wish them well. Spreading H1N1 and drinking sticky drinks!

Give me August and a drink with ice in it.

I guess I’m not the only one that sometimes gets a little testy over the holidays. Had a friend telling me about his shopping the other day. It was the same friend whose wife was looking through the kitchen window in that storm.

He said he never liked shopping. I mean if you can’t get it at the House of Booze or the feed store, it most likely isn’t needed.

I’m a lot like this friend.

Anyway, he and his wife had gone to Billings to Christmas shop. They were in that big mall and she separated from him to do some serious shopping and he sat down next to that pretzel machine in the middle. But, as men sometimes do after a couple of hours of watching crazy people walk by, he wandered off.

Thanks to the miracle of cell phones, his wife called him quite a bit later.

“Where are you”, she asked?

He quickly replied, “Remember that jewelry store we shopped at before our tenth anniversary? The one that had that beautiful Black Hills necklace with our brand on the pendant? The one you said you wanted more than anything in your life? Remember?”

His wife was breathless!

She was taken aback that he would remember! “Oh God”, she squealed! “I do remember! I love you so much!”

“Well”, my cowboy friend replied, “I’m in the bar next to that store”.

Happy New Years, Dean

North Dakota, but in a state where Democrats are thoroughly marginalized in elected office she’s also their only formidable candidate. In 2014 muchtouted Democrat candidates like Ryan Taylor and George Sinner got a shellacking at the polls.

Calling Heitkamp the toughest Democrat in North Dakota is a bit like being the smartest kid in a remedial class.

But Oban didn’t stop there. He went on to provide an ill-advised civics lesson as well aimed at illustrating what a bunch of hypocrites Republicans are for supporting this policy change. He noted to Nowtazki that they haven’t objected when Republican governors have used appointments to fill vacancies in executive branch offices.

Heck, per Oban, Republicans should have been upset when Lieutenant Governor Jack Dalrymple became Governor after John Hoeven was elected

to the Senate in 2010.

There are some gaps in Oban’s thinking.

First, there is no such thing as a Lieutenant Senator. Nobody in North Dakota complained when Dalrymple replaced Hoeven in 2010 because Dalrymlpe was the Lieutenant Governor, a position existing specifically to replace the Governor if he or she vacates the seat. We do that because a) for the continuity of government because b) there is no other state elected official of higher rank to appoint a replacement.

As for other statewide elected leaders who get appointed by the Governor, I’d point out that the Agriculture Commissioner, the Tax Commissioner, the Insurance Commissioner, etc. are all part of the executive branch of the state government of which the Governor is the chief executive. Those people, while elected by the people, work under the governor.

Extra seat belt enforcement this month

LIBRARY CORNER See what's new this month at the Bowman Regional Public Library

Attention area residents! The Bowman Regional Public Library would like your feedback. The library's Board is in the process of updating the Strategic plan for the library.

In order to get a better understanding of the services and environment our community is looking for from the library, we are asking that you take a few minutes and fill out a survey for us. Paper copies are available at the library and the online version will be found on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/ bowmanlibrary and the library's website. It will only take a minute and will help us out greatly.

And as long as you’re online, cruisin’ the information highways, you might as well check out our website at bowman library.org also.

It’s a great gateway to many information services, including our eBook selection, tutoring services, online magazines, and many searchable databases. You can find tons of educational resources; anything from health information to term paper ideas under the Explore tab, or you can just search our materials catalog by simply clicking the Search tab. There are links to Mango languages, Zinio downloadable magazines and Freegal for free downloadable music and movie.

There are many other features on the website so, please, enter curious and leave smarter.

Activities at the library this year will be plentiful. In addition to the Story Time programs, the Lego Club activities, and the book club, outside entities will be using the library to provide many services as well. In the works are Quickbooks classes planned for February, a possible relaxation techniques class, and maybe even a slow Yoga class in March! We will keep you informed as these things take shape. Also remember, GED is being held in the library classroom every Thursday evening.

Heidi Bloomgren is the provider and contact person for this so please feel free to call her or stop by on a Thursday to visit with her. Again, to help stay informed about the immediate activities, LIKE our Facebook page.

We also have much to brag about in the New Book department. James Patterson’s new Alex Cross book “Hope to Die” is in, as well as many inspiration fiction books in both large and regular print. Nonfiction books include health and fitness materials (for those of us who REALLY enjoyed the holidays!), as well as cookbooks and home improvement material. Stop in and check it out!

(Submitted by the Bowman Regional Public Library)

A seat belt is the single most effective life-saving tool in a vehicle to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash. Yet data shows that in North Dakota some vehicle occupants still resist—or forget—buckling up.

In 2013, nearly 60 percent of motor vehicle fatalities were unbuckled. This month seat belt reminders will increase—in the form of tickets. Patrol officers intend to use citations to remind un-

buckled motorists of the importance of seat belts. Extra patrols will be added to focus on enforcing the state’s seat belt laws throughout the month of January. Forty-six law enforcement agencies across the state are participating in this added enforcement, including the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

“Seat belts save lives. If you are involved in a crash, it can be the difference between life and death,” Col. Michael Gerhart of the North Dakota

Highway Patrol said.

Seat belt enforcement will also be emphasized in rural areas of the state where increased seat belt use could do the most to save lives.

Imagine being ejected from your vehicle because you were not wearing your seat belt in a rural area. Even if you survive the crash and the impact, you are a long way from help and medical treatment. In 2013, approximately 88 percent of the motor vehicle fatalities in North

Dakota happened in rural areas.

Officers are committed to keeping motorists safe.

Wearing a seat belt is the best defense in a vehicle crash. Seat belts are designed to protect the brain, spinal cord, upper body, and most importantly, keep you inside the vehicle.

Funding for increased seat belt enforcement is provided by the North Dakota Department of Transportation.

tures. Seniors may not realize they are putting themselves at risk until symptoms appear. Symptoms of hypothermia include: shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech and drowsiness. If symptoms are present, immediate medical attention is necessary.

The leading reason for hypothermia in the elderly is due to poorly heated homes, which is entirely preventable. Follow these simple tips to ensure a warm household.

Stay Warm Keep the thermostat at 65 degrees, at least. Consistently check it to make sure your home is sufficiently warm.

Even as heating costs rise, your safety should be a priority.

Put a carbon monoxide detector near where you sleep.

Ensure that there is adequate insulation, and check and clean the fireplace and furnace. Furnace filters should be replaced monthly.

Minimize drafts by filling old socks with sand and using them in drafty windowsills and door jams. Weather-strip around windows and doors. Keep doors to unused rooms closed and close curtains at night.

Add an extra blanket to the bed and warm the bed in advance with a hot water bottle. Never use an electric blanket – it may be difficult to operate the controls if the temperature needs to be adjusted in the night.

Dress in layers of loose fitting clothing. If you go outside, make sure your head is covered.

Every year, more than 1.6 million seniors end up in the emergency room because of

a fall. With icy conditions, the chances of falling are even greater.

Preventing Falls Take a couple minutes per day and stretch your limbs in order to loosen muscles.

Stay inside – make arrangements for someone to shovel and salt driveways and walkways. Professional caregivers can assist with todo items, such as bringing in the mail and/or picking up groceries.

Wear shoes or boots with a non-skid sole.

Have handrails installed on outside walls for frequently used walkways.

If you use a cane or walker, check the rubber tips to make sure they are not worn smooth.

Winter weather can take a toll on everyone, especially seniors. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can occur in seniors and impact their emotional health. Some signs to watch for with SAD include: a loss of energy, an increased appetite and an enhanced feeling of lethargy and tiredness.

If symptoms are present, talk to your medical provider about treatment options.

Additionally, winter storms can be unpredictable. It is important to be prepared in case of an emergency.

Build a network Stay in touch in with family, friends and neighbors. Schedule phone calls, or enlist the help of a professional caregiver to come in for an hour a week.

Make arrangements for assistance in case of a blizzard or power outage. Keep important numbers in an emergency kit, along with non-perishable foods, water and medications.

Cold weather warning brings potential dangers 3 steps for seniors to stay safe With dangerous winter weather in the forecast, Home Instead Senior Care says now is the time for seniors and their loved ones to brush up on cold weather safety tips.

“Winter can be a difficult time, as the harsh conditions especially impact seniors,” said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead, Inc. “We want to make sure seniors and their loved ones are aware of simple ways they can stay safe and warm throughout the season.”

Those over the age of 65 account for nearly half of all hypothermia deaths. As the body ages, the ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature decreases, creating an insensitivity to moderately cold tempera-

Nighthawk girls sweep New England Tigers

ed is Da- By Sheldon Christenson ns- For the Pioneer

New England came to town with a 2-3 record with victories over Richardton-Taylor and Heart River. Their losses were to Bowman (twice) and Flasher. On tap were three games, C squad, Junior Varsity and Varsity.

Hettinger-Scranton came out on top in all three games.

In the C squad game the Tigers led after each of the first three quarters but the Nighthawks came through with a productive fourth quarter and outscored the Tigers 13-8 to secure a 2623 win. Justice Anderson had a nice game for Hettinger/Scranton leading with nine points and ten rebounds.

In the JV game it was close in the first half with Hettinger/Scranton only leading by a 10-9 score.

But the second half belonged to the Nighthawks as they outscored the Tigers 17-5 in route to a 27-14 win. Hettinger/

Scranton had balanced scoring with eight players scoring. Leading the way was Elli Kaitfors with six, Taylor Hestekin with five and Madison Warbis had four.

New England jumped out to a 14-8 lead after the first stop in the varsity match and held on to 21-20 half time lead.

But just like the first two games Hettinger/Scranton owned the second half as they outscored the Tigers 21-8 to take a 41-29 victory. Casey Joppa was a big factor in the second half surge as she finished the game with 22 points, and Katie Wolff added six. I had Warbis pulling down the most rebounds with six. Leading the way for the Tigers were Jenna Ehlis with 12 points, eight from the charity line, and Victoria Koch scored eight points.

This game was the first Region 7 game for Hettinger/Scranton and gave them an overall record of 3-6. New England dropped to 0-2 in Region play.

SCRANTON-HETTINGER WRESTLING

Nighthawks go ‘Rumbling on the Red’

By Nolan Dix For the Pioneer

With 59 Teams representing seven states at the Fargo Dome this past weekend, the Hettinger/ Scranton Night Hawks were able to see different opponents at the 2015 Rumble on the Red. Coach Randy Burwick put four wrestlers at the varsity level along with 12 students seeing mat time in the junior varsity tournament. The Rumble on the Red was wrestled on 19 mats that were over top the North Dakota State University Football Field on the floor of the Fargodome.

At 106, Kyle Burwick came in undefeated to the tournament and picked up two wins in the first two rounds with a fall of 2:30 over Emily Shilson of Centennial, and then picked up

an 8-0 major decision over the No. 4 ranked athlete in AA Minnesota, Cade Lundeen of Thief River Falls.

In the Quarterfinals, Burwick lost to the No. 2 athlete in AAA Minn., Sadan Ka of Eagan. Then in the wrestlebacks, Burwick ran into the No. 3-ranked athlete from Rosemount, Minn., and lost a tough 5-4 decision.

Burwick is now 20-2 on the season and remains undefeated versus North Dakota wrestlers.

Cale Schalesky, at 113, picked up a win in his first match with a 12–1 major decision over Jack Ridgway of River Ridge.

Schalesky then lost in the next round to the No. 3 in AA Minn., Jake Bergland from Centennial by an 11-4 decision. That put Schalesky to the wrestlebacks where he picked up a 10-6 win over Johnathan Fraase of Fargo South, and

then lost a 5-0 match to Nicholas Carline from Osseo. Schalesky is now 18-5 on the season.

At 120, Chauncey Hughes lost his first match, 18-2, to Garrett Aldrich from Albert Lea, Minn. Hughes then defeated Dylan Colt from Elk Point with a pin of 4:16.

He then took on a highlyranked wrestler in AA from Minnesota, Daniel Worthington, and lost 131. Hughes is now 13-10 on the season.

The final varsity wrestler was Scranton High School’s Colbey Steeke of Rhame who won his first match with a 3-0 decision over Pavel Swenson of Woodbury. Then in the Quarterfinals, Steeke defeated the No. 1 wrestler in Class A from West Fargo, Brandon Metz, with a score of 11-8. Steeke then went to the semifinals and lost his match 4-1 to the

No. 2 ranked wrestler in AA Minn., Tristan Westerlund from Albert Lea, Minn. He then dropped down to wrestlebacks and lost a 2-0 decision to No. 1-ranked Kevin Kneisi from Delano, Minn.

Steeke was injured in that match and had an injury default in the 5th place match. He took home 6th Place.

Steeke is now 19-5 on the season.

The Night Hawks, as a team, scored 40 points and finished in 37th place out of 59 teams. Next action for the varsity was a dual in Killdeer on Jan. 6 and, this weekend, the Night Hawk Classic at the Roberts Reinke Auditorium.

Wrestling will start at 11 a.m. on Friday and continue at 9a.m. Saturday. Fourteen teams will compete at this year’s Night Hawk Classic.

Sanford Health touts new Dickinson-based flight service

By Cole Benz

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net Sanford Healthcare turned a new page in its storied book of helping the sick and injured last month.

They flipped on the proverbial lights and began taking flight request with its newest edition to the fleet of AirMed flight services, commissioning a King Air B200 fixed-wing aircraft to serve this area of the tri-state region.

“Opening up the Dickinson base is really a brand new chapter in our history, and we’re really excited to do it,” said Mike Christianson, Executive Director of Sanford AirMed. “We feel there is a great need in western North Dakota to serve the patients that are kind of in this oil area.”

Christianson added that the craft will also serve areas of northwest South Dakota and eastern Montana.

Prior to adding the Dickinson aircraft, Sanford AirMed had seven other air ambulances in its fleet.

Three fixed-wing aircrafts, two in Sioux Falls, S.D., and one in Fargo, N.D., along with four helicopters in each of Bismarck, N.D., Fargo, N.D., Bemidji, Minn. and Sioux Falls, S.D. Though not always referred to by its current name, Sanford AirMed, the program has been in existence for 35 years and has flown over 60,000 patients in that time period.

Sanford Public Affairs Director Fred Fridley emceed the ribbon cutting event and was happy to announce the arrival of the air ambulance to the residents of this region.

“I think today is another special day for the citizens of this region,” Fridley said.

The addition of the new fixed-wing aircraft is something Christianson said was a ‘forward positioning move’ for Sanford.

Though Sanford does not currently have a hospital in Dickinson, with the expansion of Sanford’s superclinic, Christianson said this was the right opportunity to bring an emergency vehicle like the King Air to the region, noting that Sanford didn’t have anything west of Bismarck for air transportation.

“It’s really about expanding the Sanford network, we’re in Bismarck with the helicopter but we don’t really have anything further west from there,” Christianson said. “I’d call it forward positioning an airplane, strategically, that we feel is going to hit a population that’s maybe underserved over here, and that’s kind of what we want to bring out here.”

Christianson said that surrounding towns are mere minutes away and noted that the Dickinson location is unique in that they will house the crew at the airport, so with a 15 minute take off time the aircraft could be in Bowman or Hettinger in roughly 25 minutes. The aircraft travels at speeds between 300-350 miles per hour.

Though the aircraft seems smaller on the outside, the room inside is quite sufficient for medical crew to work on patients.

“Although it seems small this is actually quite a bit of room up here (in the craft),” said Adam Parker, Bismarck Lead Flight Paramedic. “It’s a pretty

large aircraft, we have pretty good access to the patient.”

Overall the craft can house two pilots, two patients, and up to five medical personnel.

Parker said along with intubating and performing chest decompressions, they have the equipment to administer medications and can utilize a defibrillator if the situation calls for it. The craft also houses equipment for people of all ages and sizes.

Aviation Lead for Dickinson and pilot Josh Zellers said he’s very excited to be a part of this new chapter and he’s excited for everyone involved.

“The opportunity for the pilot group, the medic group, the service for the community, it’s all just very exciting,” Zellers said.

Zellers previously worked with private charters, and though he enjoyed the clientele he worked with, he knows this is different territory.

“I think maybe (it’s) a little more fulfilling position,” Zellers said. “It’s kind of a new dimension, it’s pretty exciting.”

In total there will be a flight team comprised of eight pilots in rotating shifts, with two being on board the aircraft each time duty calls.

So why a fixed-wing aircraft and not a helicopter?

According to Christianson, the airplane is more versatile than a helicopter.

“The airplane give us a lot of opportunity to go further, faster, also it’s all weather,” Christianson said.

The plane will also adhere to the patients’ wishes. Though it’s a plane owned and operated by Sanford, the flight crew will take the patient to any healthcare facility they request.

“What’s important to us is that Sanford will transfer patients to anywhere they want to go,” Christianson said.

Sanford AirMed, is currently the only Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport System air medical program in North Dakota. The service can be activated by hospitals and first responders.
