Hospital soon to lose all 3 doctors

BOWMAN COUNTY CROSS-COUNTRY

Southwest Healthcare ‘has a plan,’ CEO says

By BRYCE MARTIN

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A serious, unexpected issue recently arose for Southwest Healthcare Services as the announcement came that its three doctors would not be renewing their contracts with the hospital.

The news was enough to presumably cause a crisis considering the hospital’s ongoing work to secure its future in the community.

But Southwest Healthcare CEO Meadows Becky Hansen heralded no cause for panic.

“I think you can go into a crisis mode, but then you have to immediately get out of it because it’s a challenge we need to meet,” Hansen said in an interview with the Pioneer on Tomboulian Wednesday.

“But we have to look at it as an opportunity, too.”

Still, she noted that it’s a “CEO’s worst nightmare.”

Dr. David Meadows and his wife, Dr. Sherryl Tomboulian, approached Hansen in late Au- Lanchbury gust to give notice that they were moving on to other opportunities elsewhere. Just two weeks later, Hansen received the same knock on her office door from Dr. Forrest Lanchbury, who announced he was to leave the hospital as well.

“Opportunities came up for pretty much [each] one of them,” Hansen confirmed. “They probably weren’t actively seeking, but someone sought them out.”

That leaves the future of Southwest Healthcare and its patients in a precarious situation.

Though, Hansen and Roger Walter, vice-president of the health care organization’s board of directors, did their best to represent the news in a posi-

NEWS BRIEFS

Motor vehicle crashes still No. 1 for teen deaths While crash numbers have dropped over the past 20 years, teens continue to have the highest crash rate of any age group in the country. A number of factors contribute to this, but distractions play a heavier role than anything else according to a comprehensive study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Using unprecedented video analysis, the study found that distraction was a factor in nearly 6 out of 10 moderate-to-severe teen crashes (58 percent), which is four times as many as official estimates based on police reports (14 percent).

The most common forms of distraction leading up to a crash by a teen driver included interacting with one or more passengers, ell phone use, looking at something in the vehicle, looking at something outside the vehicle, singing/moving to music, grooming and reaching for an object.

Distracted driving enforcement results in 149 citations Law enforcement agencies across the state worked a total of 336 overtime hours for distracted driving prevention during the month of September. A total of 318 citations were attributed to the added patrols. Of the total, 149 were citations for distracted driving, 46 for speeding, 17 for failure to wear seat belts, 14 for suspended or revoked license and two felony arrests.

Targeted enforcement for distracted drivers falls under the national enforcement campaign: U Text.

U Drive. U Pay. Violating North Dakota’s texting law, which has been in effect for nearly four years, will cost $100.

With increasing smartphone use, driver distraction continues to trend upward. Earlier this year, AT&T conducted a nationwide survey that found 61 percent of drivers engage in texting, one-third email while driving, and more than one-quarter surf the web or use social media. All of those activities are illegal while behind the wheel in a traffic lane in North Dakota.

“Surveys, including the annual North Dakota Statewide Traffic Safety Survey, show that texting while driving is becoming an increasing problem in the state putting other road users in more frequent danger,” said Karin Mongeon, North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) Safety Division Director.

“Through education and enforcement efforts, it is our goal to save lives by deterring motorists from texting while driving.”

Funding for additional traffic safety enforcement is provided by federal grant money distributed through the NDDOT. High-visibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to eliminate motor vehicle deaths in North Dakota.

DOCTORS FROM PAGE 1 tive light—a circumstance that occurs frequently and at random with physicians in rural communities.

Lanchbury, who just within the last couple years delved into his passion for stem cell research, has been a doctor with the hospital for about 10 years. He soon after became the facility’s medical director.

Meadows and Tomboulian arrived a few years later. The two will have worked at SWHC for about four years at the time of their exit. Their resignation becomes effective in mid-December, with Lanchbury’s following in mid-January.

Hansen confirmed that the three were appropriately within the dates of the termination clause in their contracts and did not break any contract with the hospital.

“They’ve given us enough notice that we have an opportunity before they leave to be able to look [for new doctors],” Walter said.

Left to heed the bulk of the patients—if that is effectively what occurs—is Patricia Gilbert, a physician’s assistant, and Chris Peterson, a family nurse practitioner. The two

are considered advanced practice professionals, according to Hansen.

But SWHC’s hope is to have little to no lapse in its physician care.

“You’re always … actively recruiting for rural health care because those positions are very hard to fill,” she said.

The hospital’s administration is working on a plan to secure consistent physician care before permanent providers are in place. Details for that plan would be shared in the near future once items are finalized.

Walter and Hansen shared great optimism for the plan.

Losing three doctors isn’t such an unprecedented ordeal, according to Hansen, as many hospitals in rural areas around the state and country are facing the same problem. Some are covering the gaps in staffing with existing advanced practice professionals.

But that’s not going to be part of SWHC’s plans.

Walter said the ultimate plan would not be a temporary fix, that there are several options they’re currently exploring, presumably to avoid a revolving door of new physicians.

“We want consistency,” he said.

The greatest effect from the doctors’ resignation

will undoubtedly fall onto their patients.

“What we hope and pray is that [patients] will stay with us and give us a chance to continue to provide care for them,” Hansen reiterated.

She claimed the current doctors would try to transition their routine patients over to qualified professionals, but she didn’t exactly know what that would entail at this point.

“Our goal and our plan is to have people here to step in their place by the time they’re ready to move on,” he said.

Hansen hinted at the possible return of a previous SWHC physician, having an opportunity for someone with local ties to come back to the area.

Though she mentioned no specific names.

“We’ve been looking at every local tie we can find and maybe give them an opportunity to come back,” she said.

The greatest need for the community is a family practice, primary care physician. There is a shortage of those, nationwide, with new physicians heading into specialties straight out of residencies. Younger doctors are looking to establish themselves, to gain experience, before they go off to work in a rural area, according to Hansen.

“It’s always hard to re-

cruit physicians to rural facilities,” she added.

Such was the case prior to the arrival of Meadows and Tomboulian.

But Southwest Healthcare said comfortably that there would be no lapse in physician coverage for its current and future patients.

Hansen also assured that the hospital’s administration does not anticipate losing any other employees. “We want to keep everybody we have,” she said.

“We have other opportunities within the facility that maybe they’d be interested in looking at if something needs to flux here or there.”

Then Hansen read a quote she came across that summarized the situation’s uncertainty yet hopefulness: “There isn’t enough room in your mind for both worry and faith; you must decide which one will live there,” she read.

Hansen admits she worries but, as a faithbased organization, she said she believes the mission of Southwest Healthcare is to provide health care for those who need it.

“That’s what we’re trying to move forward with—the faith in what this institution can be for the community,” she said.

“I don’t believe it’s not meant to be here.”

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

ON THE SET: A chat with ‘Valley of Bones’ lead actress Autumn Reeser talks getting into character, upcoming Clint Eastwood film and North Dakota beauty

By BRYCE MARTIN

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net As its lead actress sat in hair and makeup, there was much commotion elsewhere on the set of “Valley of Bones,” which has now been filming on location in and around Bowman County for about two weeks.

The drama-thriller, cowritten and directed by Fargo’s Dan Glaser, chose Bowman County for its beauty and storied history of fossil findings.

Scenes were taped behind Bowman Sales and Service, at its repair garage on Highway 12, at the home of Bowman residents Terry and Nancy Schaefer, at producer Jon Wanzek’s Pitchfork ranch near Amidon, and in Marmarth, at the Pastime Club and Steakhouse on Main Street. The crew heads back to Los Angeles later this week to finish filming at a studio.

A four-minute scene takes all day to shoot on location, translating into a long day for both the crew and stars of the feature film.

As she took a break from shooting on Monday, the Pioneer caught up with the film’s lead actress, Autumn Reeser.

While she’s not a household name (yet), her television and movie credits are lengthy. She’s co-starred alongside many notable Hollywood actors and actresses, with her most recent top billing in several television series including a six-episode stint on CBS’s “Hawaii Five-O” revival, ABC’s short-lived action show “Last Resort,” one season of ABC’s “No Ordinary Family,” 10 eposides of HBO’s “Entourage,” and her lengthiest credit as Ben Mackenzie’s multilingual girlfriend Taylor Townsend on “The O.C.” She’s also credited in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film “Sully,” the story of famed American hero pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Her leads in that film are Tom Hanks and Laura Linney.

But her current focus is on the independent film that brought her to North

“Valley of Bones” lead actress Autumn Reeser once visited North Dakota, but it was on a family vacation when she was a child. Now she’s back, filming a role that has her traversing the Bowman County Badlands. (Headshot by Adam Hendershott) Dakota, “Valley of Bones.”

Pioneer: So tell me a little bit about your character.

Autumn: I play Anna.

She’s a paleontologist but she’s very broken. She’s had a lot of bad decisions in her past that landed her where she’s at this point in her life. She has no idea how to be a mother and she’s career obsessed, looking for something that’s going to make her mark on the world of paleontology.

P: You’re an ex-con, too, right?

A: Basically that’s part of the bad decisions. She was prospecting on federal land and got put in prison for that.

P: How do you get into character? I’ve seen the lists of shows and movies you’ve been in—quite a few things—how do you prepare for something like this?

A: A lot of it is about finding out where Anna is emotionally at the top of this. She’s very disconnected; connection scares her at this point. That’s where I always approach a character—what’s the emotional doorway in. All the rest of it is different sets of clothes, metaphorically.

P: How did you land the

role?

A: They asked me. I liked the script.

P: Did you audition?

A: Nope.

P: You worked with your “Valley of Bones” costar Rhys (Coiro) on “Entourage”?

A: I did. I didn’t know him on that, though.

P: So you don’t have a history with the people on set?

A: No. I’ve never met anyone on this. I just liked the script. It was a strong female character, a nuanced female character.

They weren’t shoving her strength in your face. And I liked the journey she goes on.

P: Is that the type of females you like to portray?

A: I like women who are tenacious. I really like—I haven’t had the opportunity to do much of it—grit-

(Photo by Bryce Martin/Pioneer) tier work like this. And I like working in indie film a lot and I haven’t had the opportunity in quite a while.

P: Have you done more television than films?

A: Recently I’ve been working mostly in television.

P: I see you have a film coming out called, “Sully.”

A: Yes, I’m doing a Clint Eastwood movie.

P: How is that going?

A: It’s wonderful. So much fun. A dream come true.

P: Is that filming while you’re doing this?

A: Yeah, I came straight from New York here. And then I go straight back to LA to do the rest of it.

P: So have you been to North Dakota before?

A: Yes, on a road trip with my family when I was four. My family’s roots are in South Dakota. I spent some time in South Dakota as a kid; that’s where my mom was born.

P: Did you do a lot of research into paleontology before you took the role?

A: [Laughs] Um… No. I’m learning as I go. It’s not a world I knew previously or come with preconceived notions about.

P: How long is filming scheduled?

A: Basically for all of October. We do some work on the studio in L.A., too.

P: What’s the one thing you’ve learned from shooting “Valley of Bones”?

A: That North Dakota is beautiful. Holy s***, can I move here?! It’s so beautiful. Also, there’s antelopes. I learned there were antelopes. And Home of the Range. I keep singing it while I’m driving. [singing] Where the deer and the antelope play, and get hit by cars.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Rhame resident’s photo receives state honors A local photographer and artist received an honorable mention this week for her submission to the governor’s photo contest.

Nicole Njos of Rhame was honored for her submission to the contest entitled “Running Beauty Earlier this week, Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley recognized the winning photographs and honorable mentions from the 12th annual North Dakota Governor’s Photo Contest in a ceremony in Memorial Hall of the North Dakota Capitol building.

This year’s contest began in May and had more than double the entries from the previous at 1,133.

“Capturing the legendary beauty and history across North Dakota has been a real benefit of the Governor’s Photo Contest, as well as showcasing the talents of our state’s outstanding amateur photographers,” Wrigley said. “Through the lenses of their cameras, we are able to see first-hand all that North Dakota has to offer.

It is an honor to help showcase these photos and photographers.”

Photos were judged on originality, subject matter, visual appeal and ability to portray North Dakota as a legendary travel destination in the categories of adventure, attrac-

k

tions, events, people, scenery and wildlife.

The North Dakota Governor’s Photo Contest began as a collaborative program between the Governor’s Office and North Dakota Tourism, and has grown to include AAA as a contest sponsor and the NDCA as a collaborative partner.

The 2015 winning photos will be on display during the months of October, November and December at the Capitol in the offices of Governor Jack Dalrymple, First Lady Betsy Dalrymple and Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem. This is part of a cooperative program between NDCA and the First Lady’s office. Canvas displays were printed and sponsored in part by Mathison’s.

Top category photographers will receive a $200 cash prize for each winning photo and have their work featured in North Dakota Tourism’s marketing materials, along with even greater exposure through contest partner AAA. A Best of Show photo was selected from the winning photographs, and the photographer received an additional $300 cash prize and a free, one-year basic membership to AAA. Honorable mention winners will receive $50 and may also have their images Nicole Njos’ photo, “Running with Beauty,” received an honorable mention in this year’s annual North Dakota featured in the state’s tourism Governor’s Photo Contest.

Musings from Main Street By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

I’m going to be in a movie I woke up Monday morning not knowing what to expect. It wasn’t going to be a normal start to the workweek, full of phone calls, interviews, checking emails—I was getting ready to head to the set of a movie.

Yes, an actual movie.

Nate and I were invited to the set in Marmarth where they were continuing filming on “Valley of Bones,” the film being shot around the county.

We would be extras.

We got a text from the film’s production assistant a few days earlier explaining what kind of wardrobe they were looking for us to wear. A cowboy hat. Didn’t have one. Cowboy boots. I didn’t have any. Flannel shirt. Nope.

Included in the text was the time and location of the shoot. We were to be at the Pastime in Marmarth at 7:30 a.m.

Monday. We scrolled further down in the text and found a disclaimer: There will be nudity on set.

Um… Okay? I assumed the family-friendly atmosphere of the good-ole’ Pastime steakhouse was being transformed into a gritty strip club.

I took a big gulp.

I ran to my closet and picked out a random outfit: a maroon button-down shirt and a pair of jeans with a light wash. Nothing fancy.

I stretched on an old pair of thick, black biker boots to give a little more North Dakota flair.

I was ready to make my film debut.

We arrived in front of the Pastime to find the first of the other extras that would join us for the day. Annette Krinke greeted us with a smile and some kind words. I noticed she looked very much the part I felt they were seeking: a flannel shirt, bandana around her neck, work boots.

She looked as if she had just stepped off the ranch. Devon Mack and her father, Dick, strolled up just a few moments later, clad in flannel and wearing boots. Then came Casey Hande donning a big, black cowboy hat.

I felt out of place, but nevertheless continued up to the set.

Stephi Stinchfield had arrived an hour earlier, brining some much-celebrated coffee from Lasting Visions. One thing about film crews: they love their coffee.

The first thing I noticed was the amount of tension on set. Not necessarily a bad tension,

but that everybody has a job and is working to get it done.

There’s not much time for idle chitchat, unless of course you’re an extra sitting around waiting for your chance to be on set, as we were for hours.

The seven of us were hunkered into a small room that’s used in its real capacity to seat outdoor patrons at the Pastime.

People you’ve never seen in your life brush pass you with little less than a nod of greeting.

They’re either heading to the craft service table or catering to the crews’ need for piping hot coffee. Suddenly a production assistant ran in and snatched up Stephi and Nate for a scene in front of the Pastime. My fellow extra-hopefuls sighed, but got to sit back and (sort of) watch the action.

The film’s lead actress, Autumn Reeser, was getting her hair and makeup done while she talked about her son, Finneus, with a fellow actress. I sat there quietly. While they were shooting outside in a sequence that used an old Bronco, we watched as the action unfolded. Inside, they were busy building the set and ensuring lighting and sound was proper.

There were some problems we overheard regarding wind in a character’s microphone. That sent some of the sound guys into a tizzy.

Nate and Stephi came back a while later. It turned out they weren’t needed for the scene.

It was too tight a shot.

Okay, I thought. I started to get discouraged. Maybe they didn’t need us?

Autumn’s co-star, Rhys Coiro, came in and started talking to us all.

To the untrained eye, he seemed to be just an average North Dakotan, wearing clothes similar to those of a worker in the oil field.

I admit that I didn’t quite recognize his name at first. So, as an avid movie buff would do, I pulled out my phone, opened the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) app and searching his name.

“Graceland.” Eh. “Entourage.” No, thanks. Wait— “Hostages.” (He was in a lot more, too.)

I was ecstatic when I discovered this relatively plain looking guy standing in front of me was one of the main character’s in one of our favorite TV shows from last year. Acting composed, not trying to become star stuck, I casually asked if we could snag a pic with him. He kindly obliged.

A while later, during lunch, I hung out my car’s window and yelled to him, “Rhys, I loved you on ‘Hostages’! Why did it get cancelled?” Nate looked embarrassed.

“Because ‘The Black List’ was getting all the viewers,” he yelled back.

Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER

Tyke Hello, I’m a Facebook guy. As I said before, I don’t use it a lot. But it is a nice way to catch up on who has cats, which had a baby, and what your grandkids are doing. But I used it for an emergency this week.

I’ll start at the beginning.

You can usually tell how good an animal is going to be, by how susceptible it is to injury. If the animal in question is a good running horse, it will paw through a fence and damn near cut a foot off. If it is a slow, hammer headed horse that will kick you when you walk by, you can run him through a junk yard lined fenced with razor wire and he will not get a scratch on him.

If you have a cat that is a good mouser, it will get run over crossing the road, ran through a hay cutter, or the blue heeler dog will practice fetch with it.

A good bucking horse will get dinged up on chute gate, or pick up

a stone and get an abscess in his foot. A no-buck son of a gun can fall out of the back of a truck going down a gravel road and be grazing in the road ditch by the time you turn around.

I have a dog. Well, actually two dogs. You know Vern. Vern Baker.

He’s not much good but he’s a pretty good friend (although we have had falling outs). And he is kind to little kids. And then there is Tyke. Tyke is only a year old. He is a blue heeler. An overly aggressive blue heeler. I think that is why I no longer have any cats around.

And until last week, I was pretty sure Tyke was going to be an outstanding cattle dog. And he’s a dang good friend. And, he too is good to my grandkids. He will dang sure chase a bunch of cows. We do have a little trouble with direction, but he dang sure chases. And he stops pretty dang good if you have a loud voice and a stick or whip in your hand. Kind of like my grandkids. I don’t go anywhere without him.

He loves to ride in back the pickup and bark and snap at semi trucks that we meet. Which is alright with me. But I don’t have an end gate in my pickup. “Why,” you ask? “Pilot error”.

Last week I was hauling a trailer load of cattle between Halliday and Killdeer. I knew he was in the

Stopping at Morris Wanek’s were some hunters and also a niece, Betty Wanek Hanson was from Pierre, South Dakota. Morris and Hazel were happy to see Betty.

We are going to have “Operation Christmas Child” again this year.

We would appreciate any donations you may be willing to give that would fit in a shoe box. We will then fill the boxes and send it overseas to children that have very little or nothing at all. Once we are finished the boxes they are taken to Dickinson as that is the nearest drop site.

We had quite a few boxes last

pickup box when I went through Halliday and got on the highway.

When I reached the pasture, he was gone! I mean really gone. I know that falling our of the back of a pickup going 60 mph pulling a 24 foot trailer full of cattle is pretty much a death sentence. I can tell you that it is hard on saddles, gas cans, and boxes of livestock pouron. And I knew it had to be hard on a year old dog.

I drove back the entire route, expecting to find a puddle of blue heeler somewhere on Highway 200, a route filled with gravel trucks and water haulers. No dog. I drove it twice.

But I have a niece and another friend who is a girl (that is different than a girl friend) that posted Tykes picture on facebook. A day later Tyke turned up at Maynard’s ranch. He recognized that this was a quality animal and called around.

One of the people he called had seen I was missing a dog.

I stopped there the next night. It was Tyke! A little subdued and stiff but only missing a little hair on his head and a bit of hair on one hip.

So now I am thinking, there is no way this dog can be any good! A good dog would be dead!

But thanks to Maynard and my “peeps”, he is home safe and sound.

Our drop-off site will be the main entrance of Southwest Healthcare Services Long Term Care. We will be collecting items now through November 8th.

Pam and John came up one day last week. She brought me another project that I can do for a while. They are small trees about twelve inches tall and they have to be decorated-so that’s my latest project. The trees come in different colors. I even have some little trees of different sprayed colorsabout eight inches tall.

tion work. They are coming along just fine. Weather is holding up but has been quite windy the last couple of days.

Ada had company for a couple days. She had a granddaughter Heidi Heinrich and her fiancé Doug Glynn both from Phoenix, Arizona. Ada’s daughter Bonnie Volk also came one day to visit with the company. The four of them traveled to Rhame, went to the Mound Cemetery, to Fort Dilse and other places and ate dinner there. They also toured the museum here.

I got a call from my daughter Barbara Kitzan that lives up by Hazen Bay. She said the cops woke them up early this morning and told them that they had to get out as there was a fire less than 1/4 miles from their house, but the fire department kept working at it and finally got it out. They were having 75 mph wind gusts.

Hazen Bay is just north of Hazen.

One day last week the campus was completely closed due to a written threat.

We who are hoping for a start in solving the problem of the deaths of hundreds of innocent people at the hands of violent gun shooters are considered “simple minded” if we think first of gun control.

We do, however, have laws about drinking age, drunk driving, and drunken brawls. These rules have not solved every alcohol related problem but they do have a measure of success.

Our struggle to control drug use and abuse may be less effective but as a society we do continue to seek safety measures for the public and the users.

I agree with Mr. Port that gun control is a political issue and we recognize this disagreement at nearly every level.

The intent of the shooter is of primary importance but cer-

She was raised and attended grade school in Haley, Lucille graduated from Bowman High School. Lucille was united in marriage to Marion Erickson on Feb. 1, 1951.

They lived in Gascoyne until 1961, when they moved to Ludlow, S.D. In 1965, she moved to Bowman, as the children would attend school during the week and they would all go to the country on the weekends. Through the years other country students stayed with them to go to high school. Lucille was a worker. She worked

The car as an instrument of mass killing is very rare. Keeping bombs from killing our citizens is successful, despite our one failure in Boston.

In America the statistics tell us that there is a gun for every man ,woman and child. Guns are everywhere and easy to obtain. Curbing this huge amount of weapons seems to me to be a reasonable action in a civilized nation such as ours.

She was preceded in death by her father, Joyce; her mother, Marie; brother, Ed (Joanne) Ward.

Lucille will be remembered for her awesome baking. Her pies, cakes, deserts and cinnamon rolls were requested repeatedly by anyone who had enjoyed them. The grandchildren loved grandma’s treats. Her love of flowers showed in her gardens. Her green thumb could grow about anything. Lucille had a sense of humor, loved a good practical joke and she was an instigator of a few. She loved being grandma and spending time with the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

registering their weapons and keeping them locked up when they are not in use for a legitimate purpose. This I believe is only sensible.

Mental illness is a very difficult malady to address, but we can begin to help these troubled (young males usually) potential shooters by doing our best to keep the,m from obtaining one or 14(!) guns legally.

Freedom to own guns also should mean freedom to go to work , as my daughter does, without the fear of violent attack.

MOVIE FROM PAGE 6

result in about a 5-minute scene, an exchange between Anna (Reeser) and actor Steven Molony’s character, McCoy, which would establish Anna’s quest to uncovering a massive T-Rex fossil in the Badlands.

But it wasn’t looking too amicable—McCoy is undoubtedly up to no good.

The makeup artists on the film should definitely get a nod. Between the extensive bruising on McCoy’s face and a

handprint on the waitress’s upper arm, it was quite realistic. I kept finding myself wanting to ask what happened, how she got the bruise, was she OK? I would’ve been laughed off set.

So there we were in the middle of the scene’s set.

Arranged by the production assistants to pose as inebriated patrons of the strip club (a.k.a.

Pastime). Devon, as bartender, hands me a soda-filled bottle of beer; I

fake puffing on an unlit cigarette. My back faces the camera. Stephi sits next to me at the bar, toiling around in a halfempty dish of bar nuts.

Dick comes through the front door, walks toward the camera, slaps me on the back and nods to Stephi. Casey would be used in the shot later, seated at the bar. Poor Nate was never used. But he was happy because he got to kick back and watch the cameras as the scene un-

folded… over and over again for several hours.

It was Annette who had quite the awkward part as an extra, in my opinion.

Remember how the PA said there would be nudity? Well, once the top came off an actress and she started dancing on a pole in the corner, it confirmed my suspicions that the set was to be a strip club. Annette had a seat directly next to the pole, watching as the ac-

tress slowly became tired from dancing topless the rest of the day.

But everyone was respectful.

When the scene wrapped, my moment of stardom was over.

While there’s no guarantee that the filmmakers will even use any of that in the actual edited version of the movie, at least I can say I got to be part of a movie.

S ports GIRL’S CROSS-COUNTRY RANKS NO. 1 IN REGION Lady Bulldogs head to state; boys take 3rd

A warm, dry Saturday didn’t deter the Bowman County cross country team as they competed at the West Region Meet at Prairie Knights Marina near Fort Yates; in fact the Bulldogs relished the opportunity, winning the varsity girls team championship, placing third in the varsity boys division, and placing third in the junior varsity girl’s division.

The girl’s team claimed their first regional championship since 2007.

Bowman County scored 97 points, beating runner up Watford City by 15 and third-place Killdeer by 19.

Eighteen teams from the western half of the state make up the West Region Championships.

The lady Bulldogs were led by junior standout Lacey Feist, who finished the 4,000 meter course in eighth place. Mikayla Bartholomay (15th), and Alexius miller (18th) followed closely behind, earning them All-West Region honors. After that the Bulldogs used a pack running mentality as a trio of freshmen secured the victory for the Bulldogs.

All season Natalie Kempenich, Abigail Bartholomay, and Brooke Peterson have been trading places, usually ending up in a pack that pushed the competition behind. Saturday was no exception, Kempenich placed 27th, Bartholomay 29th and Peterson 30th. Also competing for the bulldogs was Brenna Wokal in 54th, Kenna Halleen in 69th, Becki Fuchs in 72nd,

Mariah Septon in 74th, and Quin McKitrick in 85th.

The boys team captured third place behind New Town and Beulah-Hazen, the top two ranked teams in the state. The Bulldogs were led by All-West Region runner Alex Bartholomay who placed third behind Alex. Mason Moran ran a great race to finish in 33rd. Brayden Miller placed 40th, while his brother Andrew came in 43rd. Ethan Fischer finished the scoring for the bulldogs in 49th place. Giving them a total of 168. Brian Miller (64th) and Kamrim Madrigal (85th)

finished off the competition for the bulldogs.

The junior varsity girl’s team brought home some hardware as they finished in third place behind Standing Rock and Southern McLean.

A Pair of seventh graders earned All-West Region JV honors as Vanessa Fisher finished in fourth, and Megan Smolnikar in sixth. Jocelyn Kulseth placed 13th, followed

by Myia Zook in 22nd, Michaela Fischer in 23rd, and Emily Archer in 26th.

The JV boys team just missed out of the placing as they finished in fifth place,

not bad for two runners.

Noah Wokal led the way finishing in 11th place and Kevin Fischer in 19th.

Alex Bartholomay was named one of three athletes to represent the West Region as a Senior Athlete of the Year. He will be joined by Jalen Chase of New Town and Raehs Peutz of Watford City.

All three athletes will be on the ballot of the North Dakota High School Coaches Association Senior Athlete of the Year given out at the North Dakota State Cross Country Championships in Grand Forks on Oct. 24.

(Clockwise from top left) Alex Bartholomay places third to earn All Region honors, and was also named Senior Athlete of the Year. Bowman County All Region runners include Lacey Feist, eighth, Mikayla Bartholomay, 15th, Alex Bartholomay, third, Alexius Miller, 18th, Megan Smolnikar, sixth, and Vanessa Fischer, fourth. The boy’s team places third at West Region Meet: Noah Wokal, Brian Miller, Andrew Miller, Mason Moran, Brayden Miller, Alex Bartholomay, Tim Fischer, Kamrin Madrigal, Ethan Fischer. Junior Varsity Girl’s place third: Myia Zook, Megan Smolnikar, Jocelyn Kulseth, Vanessa Fischer, Michaela Fischer and Emily Archer.

Varsity Night Hawks are regional champions

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

The Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks are the 2015 9-Man Region 5 champs after defeating the New

Salem-Glen Ullin (NSGU) Holsteins 28-14 on October 9. It also gave the Night Hawks a bye in the first round of the playoffs as the No. 1 team out of the region. Their first playoff game with be in Hettinger on October 24.

The Holsteins were probably the biggest team the Night Hawks have faced this year, and they pretty much halted the Night Hawks strong running game in the first half.

But substitute HettingerScranton quarterback

Hudson Pierce had a nice game in the passing department. Pierce had a touchdown pass called back due to a penalty, but on the very next play he found Isaiah Kludt for a 50-yard pass to give the Night Hawks a temporary lead of 6-0.

The Holsteins scored the next two touchdowns to take a 14-6 lead at the end of the first half. Both NSGU touchdowns came with the help of Hettinger/Scranton.

Pierce was intercepted and the Holsteins scored on that

F+B

possession. On the Night Hawks next possession they ended up having to kick out of their own end zones due to penalties, and NSGU returned it to the 1-yard line and scored on the very next play.

The second half belonged to the Night Hawks as their defense stiffened and kept the Holsteins out of pay dirt. Tanner Sanford quickly tied the score at the start of the second half on a 65-yard touchdown run, and the 2-point conversion was successful.

twice in the fourth quarter with Kludt scampering 12 yards for a touchdown.

But prior to the score his acrobatic catch with a defender on him turned into a 60-yard gain to the Night Hawks’ 10-yard line. On the last Hettinger/Scranton touchdown, with pressure on him, Pierce managed to find Ethan Dupper in the corner of the end zone.

Pierce ended up going 7-12 good for 155 yards and Sanford led the rushing with 96. I must add that the Holsteins quarterback, Evan Henke, is a very good young player. He is only a freshman but is listed as 6’ weighing 200 lbs. He has a nice passing game and has decent speed.

This game was one of the hardest hitting high school games I have observed.

No place for the timid.

OPINION

SKOL!: The Vikings Vine Since the Vikings didn’t play this week because of their bye week, I thought this would be a great time to take a look at the rest of the NFC North.

Green Bay Packers – There is no doubt the Packers are the best team in the NFC North.

Led by Aaron Rodgers, this team looks unstoppable. Currently the Packers are undefeated, having beat the Bears, Seahawks, Chiefs, 49ers and Rams. Jordy Nelson, one of Rodgers’ favorite receivers, is out for the year, so that might be one reason why the Packers are ranked number 20 in passing yards per game (236.8).

However, the Packers are top ten in the NFL in rushing yards per game

(126.2), points scored (27.4) and points allowed (16.2). Looking ahead, the Vikings and Packers will play in Minnesota on November 22 (a game I will be attending, thanks to my wonderful mother who purchased tickets in row 12, right above the player’s tunnel), and in Green Bay January 3.

Chicago Bears – The Chicago Bears have already thrown in the towel on the 2015 NFL season. It began with trading away Jared Allen to the Carolina Panthers

for a sixth round draft pick. They followed that up by trading away 2013 second round draft pick Jon Bostic to the New England Patriots for another sixth round pick.

The Jared Allen trade makes sense, since Allen is a defensive end who was miscast in Chicago as an outside linebacker.

The Bostic trade doesn’t make as much sense to me. With Bostic gone, the Bears only have four players on the roster who were drafted by the team from 2009 to 2013. The Bears are tied at 27 in the league with 200.2 passing yards per game. They are also 15 in the league in rushing yards per game (116.2), and 28th in both points scored per game (17.2) and points allowed per

game (28.4). Looking ahead, the Vikings and Bears play in Chicago November 1, and in Minnesota December 20.

Detroit Lions – The Lions are the only winless team in the NFL through five weeks. Not only that, but during last week’s drubbing by the Arizona Cardinals, their quarterback Matthew Stafford was benched in favor of Dan Orlovsky.

The Lions are obviously in turmoil right now, but I don’t believe they are as bad as their record indicates. With an offense that has talents such as Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate, it’s no surprise the Lions are ranked 9 in the league in passing yards per game with 272.4.

What is surprising is how

bad their running game is, as they rank dead last in the league with only 49 yards per game. The Lions also rank 30 in points scored per game with 16.6, and they are 26 in the league in points given up with 27.6. Looking ahead, the Lions will play the Vikings again on October 25.

In other news, the Vikings have traded starting middle linebacker Gerald Hodges Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers for Nick Easton, an offensive lineman, and a sixth round pick.

At first, I wasn’t sure I liked this trade. Giving up a starter for a backup lineman and a late round draft pick doesn’t seem like a fair trade. But the more I thought about it, the more I like the trade.

With Hodges gone, it will clear room for rookie Eric Kendricks to play more. The move also addresses the biggest weakness of the Vikings, their offensive line.

Easton is a rookie, and was Pro Football Focus’ highest rated center in the preseason.

The weekend, the Vikings will stay home and play the Kansas City Chiefs. Currently, the Chiefs are 1-4 and just lost to the Bears in heartbreaking fashion.

The Chiefs will also be without the services of their star running back Jamaal Charles, who left last week’s game with a knee injury. On paper, this should be a win for the Vikings, who will be fresh and ready to go after their bye week.

Bulldogs fall short in Homecoming; end season 1-7

By GREG YALE

Bowman County Head Football Coach The Bulldog Football season came to an end last Friday night in rather exciting fashion. The MottRegent Wildfire came in to town to cap the football portion of the Homecoming Week festivities.

Mott-Regent had been the last remaining undefeated team in the region just one week prior, but after their quarterback was injured, lost to Hettinger-Scranton.

After Bowman County had lost to every other team in the region, it would appear to be a lop-sided affair in favor of the Wildfire, but it turned out to be anything but that.

Mott-Regent took the opening kickoff to their own 38 yard line, where they would run 6 plays with a couple of penalties.

They would end up turning it over on downs when they came up just short on a 4th and 16 at the 50 yard line. The Bulldogs took over at their own 35. After just one rush for no gain, a pass was intercepted by a MR defender at the BC 37. Eight plays later, they would score, but come up short on the 2-pt conversion. The score would be 6-0 at the 4:54 mark of the first quarter. The Bulldogs would return the ensuing kick to the 41 yard line for excellent field position to start their second drive. After eight plays and a couple of first downs, the Dogs would face 3rd and 13, where they would throw another interception down to the Wildfire 5 yard line.

Mott-Regent would take the game into the second quarter on their next drive

of 8 plays. They would throw an incomplete pass on 4th and 5 at their own 47 yard line, and the Bulldogs would take over. A short 3-play drive would result in a really good punt that unfortunately made it into the endzone for a touchback. M-R would take advantage with an 11-play drive, one being a pass play of 42 yards, and put the Wildfire deep in BC territory. A courageous defensive team effort would stop the drive at the BC 10 yard line. An 8 play drive, with time running down in the half, would lead to a bad decision on 4th and 3 near mid-field.

The decision to go on that 4th down proved costly, as the Bulldogs would come up short, and M-R would score a touchdown on a 45-yard pass just three plays later. This time, the Wildfire would convert the 2-pointer, to take the lead 14-0. Then, the Bulldogs would rise back up.

With a pass completion for 4 yards, and runs of 20 and 33 yards, the Dogs would score and convert the 2-pointer taking a 14-8 deficit into the halftime.

Bowman County would squander the first drive of the second half with a three and out punt. M-R would then go on an 11-play scoring drive, to take the lead 22-8, early in the third quarter. An excellent kick return would get the ball all the way to the M-R 45, where the Bulldogs would make a quick response, scoring on a big pass play and two tough rushes. The 2-point would make it 2216, at the 6:17 mark of the third. M-R would deliver a back-breaking blow, rushing for 41 yards on their first play of their next drive and finishing with

A 30-yard pass play would aid the home team’s efforts on the following drive, which would hit pay-dirt 6 plays later. The missed 2-point would pull the Dogs to within six, 28-

22. The next M-R possession would take the game into the 4th quarter.

On 3rd and 15, the Wildfire would convert a huge play for a first down into Bulldog territory. This would allow them to run more time off the clock and gain a few more yards,

the stop, they would end up at their own 34 yard line. Four passes would end up incomplete in the few remaining seconds of the contest. Mott-Regent would gain one first down, and take a knee twice to preserve the victory.

Though the wins were elusive this season, many of the young Bulldogs will return to the field again next season, and they will have support of a big group of up-and-coming talented players who had a great JV season. In addition, the 8th graders coming up are a very talented crew, coming off an undefeated 7th and 8th grade season.

Thank you to all the Bulldog faithful who support our efforts, and to the Bowman County Pioneer for the running our weekly articles.

but on 4th and 6, the Dogs came up big, recovering a fumble at their own 37.

Eight plays later, the Dogs would find themselves 1st and goal on the 8 yard line, midway through the 4th quarter. The first play would lose 2 yards, the second play would gain 2 yards.

Reeder native wins North Dakota Rodeo Association finals event

By COLE BENZ

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net Jessica Ehlers, native of Reeder, recently won the North Dakota Rodeo Association Breakaway Roping event.

The finals were held on October 2 and October 3 in Bismarck, and culminated a summer’s worth of rodeo for Ehlers.

She graduated from college last spring, and since then took the summer off and competed in the NDRA circuit for the summer. The first event was held on June 20 at the Medora NDRA Badlands Rodeo, with the last event before the finals being LRRA NDRA Shootout on September 25, and all those added up to the finals.

“You can’t just have a good finals, you have to have an entire good year to win,” Ehlers said.

Though Ehlers has competed in many events

before, during the NDRA competitions she exclusively competed in the breakaway roping event.

Heading into the finals she had a good lead, but didn’t have it won yet.

But nerves settled down for her after the first round of the finals when the second place competitor failed to rope her calf. Ehlers had the event won after that, and she took home her first saddle award.

“That secured it for me, nobody could catch me,” Ehlers said.

Between June 20 and September 25 there were

Overall she said she was satisfied with how her summer went, and in particularly the finals weekend; and it wasn’t just the rodeo that made the weekend memorable, she got engaged.

“It was just a perfect

weekend for me,” Ehlers said.

Ehlers didn’t mince words when speaking of the appreciation for her support. She said that her family and her fiancé’s family gave her help and support all rodeo season.

She has started her career in Texas—she graduated with an accounting degree—and doesn’t know when she will compete again, but did say she hasn’t closed the door on getting back on her horse.

23 rodeo events and then the finals.

Ehlers said on any given event there were 2550 girls competing, but for the finals they only invited the top 12 competitors.

Ehlers has been competing in rodeos since the early age of five. Now, at 24, the breakaway roping event is one of her favorites, in part because of the difficulty level.

“This (breakaway roping) has just always been my favorite,” Ehlers said.

“It hasn’t all been easy, but the more you work at it the better you get.”
