FrightFest returns for second year in Bowman

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

It was a team effort last year between Melissa Lindstrom of Bowman, the Bowman Parks and Recreation Department and several local sponsors to bring spooky fun back to the area.

And they succeeded at the first Bowman FrightFest.

This year, held on Halloween at the Bowman City Park, the organizers aim to put on an even bigger, spookier event.

That’s in addition to the other Halloween events around the area that will continue

this year.

In 2015, over 200 trick-or-treaters showed off their costumes and kindly asked for candy from the many participating Main Street businesses in Bowman, organized by the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce.

After their hunt for candy was satisfied, children and their families were invited to take part in the fun at FrightFest.

This year there will be games, ran by the Bowman County Bulldogs Football team, chili and soup feed from Diamond H Services of Bowman, seasonal beverages from local sponsors and a chance to check out the creative costumes of local youths.

‘It’s simple’: SWHC promotes last line of defense against infectious diseases

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

There’s only one thing that can break the chain of spreading potentially deadly infectious diseases, and it’s something so simple: proper hand hygiene.

Last week was National Infectious Disease Prevention Week, celebrated from Oct. 12 to 22, and it was an important landmark for Southwest Healthcare Services.

The Bowman health care provider put special focus on the importantance of proper hand washing when it comes to communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis, E. Coli, CDEPH, VRE and, reportedly the most prevalent in the community, methicillin-re-

sistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly abbreviated as MRSA. The timing is especially important considering the current flu season, which spans from mid-September to the end of March.

“It’s easy to help prevent these diseases,” said Judy Jung, infectious prevention coordinator at SWHC, “wash your hands.”

Jung and her committee of various staff members eventually wants the community to become involved in understanding the importance of proper hand hygiene to prevent such diseases. But this year they started with hospital, clinic and long-term care staff.

“It’s all about awareness,” she said.

MOBILES: Not just for babies anymore

A potential compromise has been reached between Amidon and the United States Postal Service over the city’s post office, which had been set to close.

With the lease on the current USPS building in Amidon set to expire, a public meeting was held Aug. 30 to discuss the fate of the city’s mail service. The consensus from the meeting was to adopt a Neighborhood Distribution Collection Box (NDCBU), which is essentially an exterior post office box setup, allowing access to mail 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Residents had 30 days from the date of the initial public meeting to suggest other options and either voice their support or protest the NDCBU. With that time now passed and the post office not receiving further input, the USPS decided to move forward with the new boxes.

Though this did come with some uncertainty.

Last week Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., released statements concerning post offices in Amidon and Halliday.

Heitkamp has been a staunch supporter of the rural postal services through her Fix My Mail initiative, and has encouraged U.S. Postmaster Gen. Megan Brennan to take action in protecting quality service to those towns.

Slope County Auditor Lorrie Buzalsky said the county thought it was a done deal, but then they weren’t quite sure when Heitkamp started to discuss the situation last week.

Prior to Heitkamp’s communication, Buzalsky said Slope County commissioners had already given approval to house the NDCBU on courthouse property. The

A diagram from Southwest Healthcare Services in Bowman detailing the proper way to wash your hands, which is one of the biggest ways to prevent acquiring or spreading infectious diseases.

DISEASE

FROM PAGE 1

A contest to create the most striking replication of such infectious diseases, to help put them into visual perspective, brought together Southwest Healthcare employees last week.

“We want you to see what the microbes look like,” Jung said.

Hospital Pharmacist Carol Cornelius, who also sits on the infection prevention committee, said people should be aware, not afraid, of the potential diseases and take the necessary steps in their prevention.

Hand washing is the only protection people have against acquiring diseases like MRSA, which is commonly found in hospitals and out in the community.

MRSA is an infection

caused by a type of staph bacteria that’s become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staph infections, according to the Mayo Clinic. The infections occur in people who have been in hospitals or other health care settings.

When it occurs in these settings, it’s known as health care-associated MRSA. It can often be fatal.

Because these diseases are now becoming tolerant to over-the-counter antibacterial products, the FDA has begun the drastic step to remove those products from retail shelves, since research has shown the antibacterial products are no longer effective.

“There’s a huge overuse of antibiotics,” Cornelius explained. And that has led to the emergence of what are called superbugs, infectious diseases resistant to treat-

Amidon Mayor Lois Merkel said that she received a call from Heitkamp’s representatives on Oct. 20, the same day she received a confirmation letter regarding the NDCBU. Merkel said the representatives wanted to know about the town.

ment.

The only truly effective antibacterial products contain 62 percent alcohol or more. And those are available at health care facilities.

In small communities such as those in Bowman County, spread of disease can be quick. Jung said the most at risk are the elderly.

But it also starts with children and parents, educating them on the steps to ensure they are keeping their hands clean.

“I don’t remember my mother always saying, ‘Wash your hands,’” Jung said. “But it’s much more common to hear these days, which is good.”

Still, just putting your hands under water with a little soap isn’t doing enough, Jung explained, there are specific steps to follow.

“The average person doesn’t wash their hands

properly,” she said. “It takes friction.”

In efforts to promote awareness, Southwest Healthcare is taking added steps to better enforce existing practices of proper hygiene at its facilities.

Part of the National Infectious Disease Prevention Week was the rollout of updated signage for employees and visitors and to further education for all employees on how to handle infectious disease prevention.

Next year the plan is for Southwest Healthcare to involve the community, perhaps with a day fair or a similar event.

“We want to bring this knowledge to the community,” Cornelius said. “People need to know to take care of themselves and be responsible.

“We want to keep the staff and community safe.”

with Heitkamp’s office — is two-fold.

First, the limited amount of real estate, or land for lease, makes it difficult to place a building. The second issue is trying to find someone to work the desk.

“There’s nobody that’s going to work,” Merkel said of the limited workforce in Amidon.

As Amidon moves forward with the boxed units, the projected timeline, according to sources out of the Bowman Post Office — where operations had been temporarily been relocated — residents could have ac-

cess to their mail at the NDCBU as soon as Nov. 5.

Initial plans were to place the unit just outside of the front door of the courthouse in Amidon, in a space where the county currently has a bench. But the commissioners decided to have it moved to the west side of the building near garages for easier access with a nearby handicap ramp.

Buzalsky said the commissioners approved that location at a prior meeting, but said that they will approve the final, paper agreement with the USPS at its November meeting.

joy into these family’s lives.”

Three-year-old Umbreit was diagnosed with eye cancer March 20, 2015. He and his family have lived in the community for about two years, relocating to Bowman County in August 2014.

Umbreit is the grandson of Jim and Wanda Powell of Bowman and Roxanne and Ray Kromarek of Scranton.

According to the American Cancer Society, eye cancers can occur at any age, but the risk for most types increases as people get older. Most cancers of the eye in adults are melanomas, with lymphomas being the next most common.

Pioneer Editor

JJ Umbreit, a four-yearold Bowman boy with retinoblastoma, is about to have his one wish come true.

Make-A-Wish North Dakota said it is happy to grant Umbreit’s wish to meet Kylo Ren, of “Star Wars” fame, at Walt Disney World Resort at the end of this month.

Umbreit and his family will travel from Bowman to Dickinson on Halloween.

Even though he’s away from home, trick or treating is on the top of his to do list. He and his family will be escorted on their trick or treating adventure throughout Dickinson by several storm troopers.

The magical wish experience will begin Nov. 1 when Umbreit and his family board a flight for sunny Orlando, Fla. Once they land, the magic continues.

The family will be staying Give Kids the World Village.

Umbreit and his family will get the chance to explore all of the Disney theme parks and of course get to see the characters he is so excited to meet.

He will meet Kylo Ren and other Star Wars characters as he has the opportunity to discover Magic Kingdom, Universal Orlando and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Most importantly, throughout this trip Umbreit and his family will have the opportunity to create amazing memories together.

“It’s never easy for a family to go through the struggle of having a sick child but with this wish comes a chance to forget about illness, doctors, and treatment and spend quality time as a family,” Make-A-Wish said.

“Wishes like JJ’s help restore the hope, strength and

In children, retinoblastoma—a cancer that starts in cells in the retina—is the most common eye cancer, yet it is still considered rare.

Umbreit was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a cancer that could ultimately claim his eyesight.

Retinoblastoma rapidly develops from young cells of a retina, the light-detecting tissue of the eye.

Almost all children survive retinoblastoma, according to the American Cancer Society, although they may lose their vision in the affected eye or need to have the eye removed.

The priority of retino-

blastoma treatment is to preserve the life of the child, then to preserve vision, and finally to minimize complications or side effects of treatment. There are multiple treatments for the cancer and it has one of the best cure rates of childhood cancers, 95 to 98 percent Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Since its inception in 1985, MakeA-Wish North Dakota has granted over 780 wishes to children across the state.

JJ Umbreit of Bowman was diagnosed last year with retinoblastoma. His wish, now granted by Make-A-Wish was to meet Kylo Ren of Star Wars.

Local farm celebrates pork month with Community Cupboard NorDak donates 107 pounds of pork

October is National Pork Month, and NorDak, LLP, a local sow farm in Scranton, celebrated the occasion by providing those in need with pork. Last week, the Bowman/Slope Community Cupboard, which serves 40 households each month, received over 100 pounds of pork from NorDak to fill their freezer and distribute

to community members.

“Donations of meat are probably the biggest gift we could ever receive,” said Tammy Hofland, President of the Bowman Community Cupboard Board.

Since the oil boom, the Cupboard has seen an increase in the number of people they serve each month.

As a 501c3organization, the Cupboard only operates on donations. Meat is always needed and one of the most expensive items that the Cupboard provides.

“If we buy hamburger from the Great Plains Food

NorDak, LLP, employees Linda Jorgens and Janel Anderson helps fill the Bowman Community Cupboard with 107 pounds of ground pork.

Oktoberfest benefit a hit

Bank, we would spend about $120 plus shipping to get enough for one monthly opening. That's only one item for one month - that's no cereal, no peanut butter and no macaroni. There have been times when we do our monthly opening and we have no meat to offer,” commented Hofland.

National Pork Month is celebrated in October, as it was the time of year hogs were traditionally marketed. Today, it is the perfect time of year for pig farmers to support their community and showcase the swine in-

dustry.

“It’s important to give back to the community, because without our community, we all would have nothing. Many people are unfortunate, and it is good to help those who need help,” said Linda Jorgens, AMVC employee and assistant manager at NorDak. NorDak is a 4,400 head sow farm that employs 18 people in the community.

AMVC is a swine management company headquartered in Audubon, Iowa, and has a management presence in seven states.

The Bowman Lions Oktoberfest Benefit for Leroy Hansen was a great success.

Celebrity Chef, Lion Linda Narum, spearheaded the menu for the German meal with the help of other Lions members and a host of area volunteers. It took a lot of time to prepare the special meal, but the results were definitely worth it. On the menu was some awesome Jager Schnitzel (seasoned pork) Knoephla, kraut and dumplings, borscht, German potato salad, cheese buttons, kuchen and much much more. Along with the meal was a live and silent auction from items donated by the community. Lane and Anne Dingfelder, along with Lion Roger Walter, provided the special music for this event and Lion Paul Brooks was the auctioneer. A big thanks goes out to all who came and helped make this a successful event.

Halloween

In the blink of an eye, the first nine weeks of school is over; our immediate family birthdays are done; and now we are faced with the much anticipated tradition of Halloween.

Since I grew up in the country, trick-ortreating at my home

By LORI SOLA meant eating supper and Bowman County Pioneer heading out in the dark to the nearby country neighbors and a trip into town with one parent driving while the other one stayed home to cover any trick-ortreaters that stopped by.

We were only allowed to trick-or-treat through sixth grade so I didn’t get to go on many Halloween adventures with my brothers who are three and six years older than me.

I don’t remember putting too much thought into costumes. It seems like we made do with whatever we had around the house. I remember one brother getting to buy a Star Wars mask which I wore later. One year, the weather turned nasty and we were in the midst of a down right blizzard.

We stayed home and played Bingo in the basement by candlelight with the on-hand candy for prizes. It was one of the best Halloweens ever.

As a sixth grader, I believe I was Garfield. The plastic costume split in two as I went from the cold night air to the warm car. Remember those hard masks with the little slits for the eyes, nose and mouth? My glasses always fogged over when I wore those things.

But the best part of my last Halloween was stopping at my neighbor Ingeborg’s home. She had a special gift for me…a wall hanging bearing my name made on the very loom she brought over from Norway. It’s a treasure I will always enjoy.

Fast forward to 2006 when Shawn just turned one. I dressed him up for the first time as a lion and took him around the block.

He wasn’t a fan of costumes for the first couple years and would cry big crocodile tears until we got going.

He was such an adorable trick-or-treater as his little voice said, “trick or treat” and “thank you” it made the short-lived struggle worthwhile. All he needed was a roll of Smarties in his chubby little hands and all was right with the world. One year, he grew so fast that the engineer costume we set aside seemed to have shrunk. The bottom of his bibs were above his ankles by several inches.

Since living in Bowman, we’ve always made Halloween a family night. Scott and I stay on the curb while our son rings the doorbell. For four years in a row, Shawn was either Mario or Luigi.

I told Scott since he’s always wearing the same costume, we should dress up too. In 2012, we were Mario, Luigi and Peach. It was super fun to dress up and walk around the neighborhood. We had so much fun as a family!

I think some households were disappointed that Scott and I didn’t dress up every year after that, but living in North Dakota the weather doesn’t always cooperate to leisurely walk the neighborhood. Instead, we’ve stayed in a nice warm vehicle or bundled up big time.

Last year we decided to go all in again and be superheroes. The girl costumes are always skimpy and never warm, so I decided to just order a guy’s costume that allowed me to wear jeans and a sweatshirt underneath.

L ETTERS TO THE E DITOR Vote to keep weather mod

In consideration of this year’s General Election, I would like to point out some of the services to the community that the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP) brings to Bowman County along with some of the associated economic impacts.

The NDCMP has based a project weather radar in Bowman since the 1970s, with the past 20 years using a radar set owned by ND Atmospheric Resource Board (ARB). For the past 5 years during off-project months the radar has additionally been operated by money from 8 Counties (6 counties in North Dakota along with Fallon and Harding County). During the short relocation of the Radar to the new Bowman Regional Airport, I was asked many times “how long before the radar is back up and running?” Many people emphasized how the radar was a well needed service to our SW ND area.

Something to be considered, if there was no longer a NDCMP here in Bowman County, the summer months of radar operation and maintenance funding would have to be picked up somewhere else in lieu of project operations. ARB isn’t in the Radar business and only installed their radar here to support the NDCMP. Without a NDCMP here in Bowman County,

The only thing I do not like about Halloween is opening up the door to see someone bigger than me in a full costume. (That’s why nine times out of 10, Scott answers the door.) Oh well. At least they are trick-ortreating and not causing mayhem, right?

Happy Halloween everyone!

ARB would really have no need to further offer up the use of their radar and it very well could be shut down and removed for use in support of other projects.

NDCMP brings 4 pilots and 2 Meteorologists to Bowman each year for its 3 month project. Many times these people have family members or friends visit Bowman during this project as well. Additional ARB and WMI employees travel here from time to time overseeing project operations, and attend the Bowman County Fair where they have a booth to educate and answer questions on the project operations.

A direct economic impact of approximately $43,472 comes from having these 6 personnel and 2 aircraft in Bowman County for the 3 month project. This doesn’t account for anything else these people purchase here such as automotive supplies/parts, cleaning supplies, household items, movie tickets, ammunition, fishing licenses and supplies, liquor sales, haircuts or any associated revenue from their visiting friends/family/ extra ARB personnel hotel rooms, fuel, food, aircraft fuel and hangering etc. $16,448 in Aircraft fuel sales; $824 aircraft maintenance; $5700 for housing rent during project; $19,000 estimated food and dinning; $1500 estimated automotive fuel sales.

Project personnel attend/ support several local sights and events, spending an estimated $1200, some of which included: Burgers in the Park in both Bowman and Scranton, Bowman County Fair Events, Derby, Rousey Rec Center, Movie Theater, Sweetwater Golf Course, Scranton Community Golf Course, and Fishing local Lakes and Dams The 4 project pilots provided a combined total of 110 hours in Flight instruction, ground school, and Biennial flight reviews to local pilots this past year.

They helped 3 newly certificated pilots complete flight instruction requirements for their ratings this summer.

The pilots also rented a local aircraft for approximately 10 flight hours to go site-seeing.

Project personnel helped around Bowman Regional Airport during the airport fly-in, and put in approximately 85 hours helping with airport grounds keeping.

Southwestern North Dakota is a hard place to keep small community businesses operating,

attract new businesses, and bring in outside revenue.

I think that the benefits and economic impact that the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project brings to Bowman County needs to be considered when we vote during this coming General Election.

Cold, hard facts

We’re not going to pull magic from a hat, we’re not going to make assumptions about people we don’t know nor will we attempt to pull the wool over your eyes.

You deserve some facts and after hours of research and multiple conversations, here are a few important ones: Fact #1: Most importantly, the Bowman Radar will not be discontinued if the Weather Modification program were to be voted out. The Bowman Radar is funded by Bowman County and seven surrounding counties for eight months out of the year. The Weather Modification program pays a total of $14,000 for the other four months. The Bowman Radar has proved that its 24/7, 12 month coverage to be such a valuable asset to our county and surrounding areas that the additional funding needed would be unquestionably met.

Fact #2: Bowman County’s cost of being enrolled in the Weather Modification program last year was a total of $233,000. The State participated in 50 percent of that amount. Bowman County has approved a budget of $93,000 for this program next year which is equivalent to 3.47 mills.

Remember, this is for a program that operates for 90 days.

Fact #3: In the state of ND, at the peak there were 17 out of 52 counties enrolled in the Weather Modification program. We are down to five. Burke County is currently in a four-year trial period. Montana and South Dakota have both voted out Weather Modification entirely.

One point we would like to address is in regards to the reduced crop hail insurance premiums. In prior letters it was stated that crop hail insurance premiums in

Bowman County were cut nearly 50 percent due to the Weather Modification program. The fact is, Bowman County’s crop hail insurance premiums have dropped nearly 50 percent but so has nearly every county across North Dakota regardless of whether or not they were enrolled in Weather Modification. Unfortunately, Bowman County is still ranked the highest in crop hail insurance premiums. There are multiple contributing factors that insurance companies use to derive their insurance premiums. The data gathered by the Weather Modification program is not used in determining rates as the insurance companies don’t even ask for them.

Rather the major driving force is usage – meaning the number of insured acres within a township. For the record, premiums were stated in prior letters to be between $8 and $13 per acre for $100 acre coverage… we pay $18 per acre for that same coverage in Haley Township. In conclusion, Weather Modification has very little if anything to do with the variation in premium rates.

As an Ag producer, our livelihood is dependent on the weather and we’d rather not have scientific theories try to win the battle against Mother Nature. In our opinion, that’s a battle that will never be won.

Our question to you: Don’t you think we could find a better use in our county for $93,000 than provide funding for a program that operates 90 days out of the year?

- John and Tessa Palczewski, Scranton

My 2 cents

I am writing to you in regards to the recent letters to the editor regarding the County ballot measure regarding Weather Modification in Bowman County.

I believe that Bill Fisher and Wilbur Brewer had a vision and the guts to take a thought and turn it into reality. This vision, fifty years ago, changed farming practices and outcomes around the county for the better. I have read testimonials from Marlene Koubas and others about such.

However, that was fifty years ago, and weather patterns change, not necessarily for

O BITUARIES

Donald D. Lamb, 77 Donald Dean Lamb was born April 13, 1939 in Bowman to Ainslee D. and Hattie Mae (Pratt) Lamp and passed away Oct. 11 in Casper Wyoming due to Pulmonary Fibrosis and double pneumonia.

He grew up on the family farm southwest of Rhame attending a country school.

He drove a gravel truck for Melvin Miller and constructed Butler Grain bins, for Bill Austin, in the Rhame and Bowman Areas. In 1960 he worked on oilrigs around Baker, Montana. On May 17, 1960, he married Elizabeth D’Alene Willman in Baker, Mont. To this union three children were born: Norman Dean, Fred Whitfield, and Lisa Marie.

the better. Hail fell on our ranch four times: in late June and again in early July and then again in mid-July and then again in late July.

The first hail storm took care of everything, but the next three made sure we didn’t have to get the combine out. Fortunately, we had no property damage, just crops and hay ground and grazing were destroyed. This doesn’t include the fact that we had less than 2 inches of rain from May 1st to June 27th to get those crops started with in the first place.

With that being said, I don’t believe that Weather Modification’s hail suppression and rain enhancement are all they are cracked up to be. I give John Palczewski credit for bringing this issue to the forefront, something for the voters of Bowman County to decide the fate of.

However, be wary of voting Weather Modification out of the county. If we do, every entity in the county will be grabbing at the mills that were allotted for Weather Modification. Will we get a decrease in taxes, or will the county commissioners will just move them to another cause? If a couple years from now, we as voters, decide we made the wrong choice to abolish Weather Modification, we may have to eat extravagant tax increases to reinstate it to the county, if that is even possible.

We need to vote to keep Weather Modification in Bowman County for now.

However, in the future, we need consider putting together a county ballot measure that looks to suspend operations for at least 2 years. In this time period, it would be worthwhile to see if weather modification truly is having the effect we are paying for as tax payers. Is it really enhancing rain and suppressing hail throughout different regions of the county like it did fifty years ago, or have climate patterns shifted enough that we account and hold it until we have conclusive evidence one way or another as to the relevance of hail suppression and rain enhancement. At that time, we can make a better assessment as to whether or not we, as a county, want Weather Modification to continue or not. A simple “yes” I want it, or “no” I don’t is not the correct channel at this time.

- Payco Holecek Bowman County

Keep it

It has come to my attention that there is a rumbling about the possibility of suspending, but not banning Hail Suppression for a short period of time to see if other factors could have eased a drought in Bowman County or a devastating hail storm

October 28, 2016

Lamb ranches in the western North Dakota and eastern Montana area before becoming a janitor at the First Interstate Bank in Miles City, Mont. He worked for the Schlumberger Well Service Company until they closed their Miles City office. He then went to the Casper, Wyo., area and worked for Wireline, Inc/ Gearhart Industries as a truck driver/ rig hand, then

southwest of Bowman.

I take great issue with that proposition on several points. The first and probably the most important point is that a two or five year stand down of seeding clouds could NOT possibly provide any significant data with any levels of statistical confidence because of the short data collection period.

Two or five years of data cannot be compared with 55 years of study that has time and time again proven a hail damage loss reduction of 45 percent. That 45 percent reduction has been very, very steady with no appreciable changes up or down in hail premium rates and hail losses over that 55 year time span. The study that allows Weather Modification advocates to claim that statistically significant 45 percent hail damage reduction was conducted

by Doctor Paul W. Mielke, PhD. (Department of Statistics) of Colorado State University for the North Dakota Atmospheric Resource Board. Data from a two or five year hiatus could not possibly be normalized in any way for the incredible variations in weather that can occur over short periods of time. Only long term data (55 years) can smooth out the statistical analysis that gives us an excellent way to conclude that cloud seeding does indeed reduce hail losses with great statistical levels of confidence. Conclusion?

A short stand down of cloud seeding will not prove anything.

Secondly, if a stand down was desired, a look at funding would have to be considered. Any monies appropriated for the next year’s project would have to be returned to the General Fund to be reallocated to some other undertaking in the county. It would be very difficult to establish a new mill levy to start up a new project if folks realized that they made a mistake and wanted Hail Suppression reinstated. Not only losing the funding, the county would stand the risk of not finding a contractor to take on a project that bounces in and out on a whim. Aircraft, personnel, and radar would be shifted to some other area that would intend to be operational for a longer period of time.

Thirdly, the climate change argument. In order

to argue that climate change could cause a one year drought or a devastating hail storm in one summer, you would have to define the term of the climate change.

One week? One summer? A decade? A century? A millennium? We don’t know what climate change has done over the last 55 years of cloud seeding. My answer is very little influence if any in a small target area, but two or five years won’t prove anything one way or the other in this regard.

Fourthly, rain increase. In the past, rain increase was oversold. Science can prove a 5-15 percent increase in rainfall, but .015 of an inch isn’t much in a light shower, but in a two inch rain storm you could see an extra .30 of an inch. A big difference. The more important thing to remember is that studies conclude that rain is increased, and definitely not decreased.

Remember to vote NO on the weather mod issue to keep the radar and the program. Scientific fact beats assumption or conjecture every time. Vote NO. - Bart Fisher Bowman

cause of this, had 35 bushel wheat compared to my 55-60. His crop insurance APH of 45 at 70 percent coverage gave him nothing from insurance and a big loss to show his banker. His 2 quarters that got hailed out was his only profitable crop.

He received 35 bushel at $5.13 (vs $4.40 local price) from crop insurance plus $100 from hail insurance giving him $280 an acre. Do the math on all the cropland in the area and this huge economic disaster not only affects the family farm but main street as well.

Suspend common sense

I recently attended the meeting in Bowman concerning the future of weather modification. What I didn’t realize was that I was supposed to check my glasses and common sense at the door. After listening to Darin Langerud and his presentation on the program it was opened up to questions and comments. When I asked Darin about the storms that come in from Montana that are red on the radar, they subsequently send the planes up and shortly after the red turns to yellow and then green (sometimes disappearing completely) that some how I am suppose to believe this increases rainfall. This doesn’t happen on rare occasions but nearly every time the planes seed the clouds. My friend in the southern part of the county who received less rain be-

Bowman.

Memorial Services for Curt were at 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Scranton. Burial will follow in the Sacred Heart Cemetery, Scranton.

Curt was the son of Eugene and Lucille Riedlinger.

He was a brother to Betty Meier, Ardis Underdahl, Sherman Riedlinger and Allan Riedlinger.

Curt was born on Feb. 2, 1961. Curt attended school and graduated from Scranton Public High School.

Curt also attended Dickinson State College.

Curt started tending bar at Pugy’s pub after college.

From there he went to the main bar and was employed there until his time of death. Curt committed much of his time to looking after and helping his mother Lucille until her death.

Curt lived for his job and his dog Timmy. He enjoyed his work, loved seeing his customers come in to visit and enjoy one of his burgers. He loved the people he worked with at the bar, he considered them his family also.

Curt left his special friend Timmy. You would see Curt walking Timmy and Bell twice a day until Bell passed and then it was just him and Timmy. Curt and Timmy walked rain or snow or cold.

Curt was proceeded in death by his father Eugene, mother Lucille and sister Ardis.

Curt’s body was donated to the Red Cross. Memorials suggested to the Scranton Fire Department.

Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Services of Bowman was in charge of the arrangements.

Vote yes on Measure 4 to help your veterans. The Veterans Organizations back this measure. The funds would be used to provide a full time service officer at the Fargo VA to help veterans with all issues by putting them in touch with the right people. Acquiring service dogs for veterans, to help with PTSD, to assist in non VA covered treatments, veteran education grants, vehicle adaption costs, permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans, agent orange outreach to help veterans file claims on agent orange, transportation assistance for veterans is just a few of the things we want to help our veterans with.

These, I feel, are the top of a long list.

Presently a veteran needs funding to defray the cost of travel to the Shriners Hospital in North Carolina as her child needs surgery. Another veteran has had a stroke at 38 years old and does not

want to live full time in the nursing home. We have no funds to make an apartment adaptable so he can live on his own.

The raise in tobacco taxes may prevent kids from smoking and may entice others to stop smoking.

Please vote yes on Measure #4 and let your veterans know you really do care about them. I am proud to have served - William Schaar, Vietnam Era veteran

SPORTS BOWMAN COUNTY CROSS-COUNTRY

The runners up — Front Row: Myia Zook, Brenna Wokal, Quin McKitrick, Lacey Feist, Mikayla Bartholomay, Natalie Kempenich, Becki Fuchs. Back Row: Audrey Lazzara, Brooke Peterson, Vanessa Fischer, Jocelyn Kulseth, Alexius mIller, Abigail Bartholomay. Not Pictured: Michaela Fischer, Kenna Halleen.

Girls state runner-up, boys finish 3rd

Years of dreams and goals, 11 weeks of preparation, 1 final test. This is what the Bowman County Cross Country team faced on Saturday as a season of work all came down to about 20 minutes of performance.

Nerves? You bet! But the

bulldogs quickly got down to business. The boys brought home the 3rd place trophy, and the girls team placed Runner-Up. In the process, the bulldogs earned 3 Allstate honors, as Alex Madrigal placed 13th, Brian Miller 20th, and Lacey Feist 17th.

The day started off as the boys toed the line, knowing New Town was going to be tough to beat, and knowing it was going to be a fight with Rugby, Hillsboro, and familiar foe Beulah-Hazen for the top 5. “In all of our preparation, we knew Rugby was really tough, they run a lot like us, and we had to break up their pack.” Explained Coach Jonathan Jahner. The bulldogs hung tough, outlasting Beulah-Hazen, and Hillsboro, but ending up 26 points behind Rugby, capturing the 3rd place spot out of 49 teams. Individually, the bulldogs were paced by sophomore Alex Madrigal who clocked a very impressive time of 17:11.59, placing him 13th. Behind Alex the pack really began to show its strength. Brian Miller placed 20th in a time of 17:26.15, and within ten seconds the bulldogs captured two more spots, Kamrin Madrigal in 23rd, and Andrew Miller in 24th. Mason Moran finished the scoring for the bulldogs with a time of 17:59. “It’s not very often that you have that tight of a pack at state since there are so many runners; this truly is a special group.”

Stated Coach Dakota Wolf.

All 5 scorers for the bulldogs finished within 48 seconds of each other, highlighting the parity of the bulldog pack.

Rounding out the runners for the bulldogs, Ethan Fischer finished in 11th,

Physician Schedule

Bowman County’s boys finish third — Front Row: Levi Kelly, Noah Wokal, Kevin Fischer, Camden Wokal, Ehtan Fischer, Ben Knopp, Alex Madrigal. Back Row: Austin Richard, Brian Miller, Kamrin Madrigal, Mason Moran, Andrew Miller.

Camden Wokal 122nd, Austin Richard 195th, Benjamin Knopp 232nd, and Noah Wokal in 235th. Nine of the 10 runners for the bulldogs ended their season with personal best times, exemplifying the quality of the day for the Dawgs.

“Historically if you run sub 18:00 you have a good chance to be All-State (top 20), however, it was an extremely deep and talented field.” Explained Coach Jahner. In fact, a total of 265 runners competed in the race.

The girls team was next up, with hopes and dreams of dethroning the returning

champions from Hillsboro, but also knowing there would be about 4 teams with the same idea. When the dust settled, the bulldogs came up only 18 points short, as Hillsboro claimed their 6th consecutive state title. The bulldogs now found themselves in a battle for #2, in fact Rugby finished two points behind the bulldogs clinching Bowman County’s Runner-Up position and placing the Panthers 3rd.

Individually it was a very familiar site for the bulldogs, as Lacey Feist continued to lead the bulldogs, finishing in 17th place in a time of 20:02.84. Behind Lacey the

packs started to form, Natalie Kempenich and Alexius Miller battled for 25th and 26th places, and Abigail and Mikayla Bartholomay rounded out the scoring in 41st and 42nd. The Dawgs were the first team to finish all 5 scorers, meaning the rest of the work was up to the 6-10 girls. Brooke Peterson ran a very strong race finishing in 56th place, bumping many other team scorers back. Jocelyn Kulseth and Vanessa Fischer finished in 86th and 90th respectively.

The bulldogs rounded out the day with Brenna Wokal in 145th and Becki Fuchs in 169th. With 223 runners in the race, it was a very good showing for the girls team.

With the girls jump 5000m race (used to run 4000m), it is hard to compare historical data, but the when the ladies team looks at their final results two major things jumped out to coach Jahner.

First of all, the race gap from 1-5 runners was 1:15, meaning there were a lot of quality races, and second of 9 of the 10 runners set personal bests, with one runner typing her fastest time of the year. “I would be hard-pressed to find a better team race that what we ran on Championship Saturday.” Explained Coach Jahner, “We ran hard and left it all out there.”

The bulldogs have now culminated three seasons in a row where both teams have placed in the top 5. “While we are improving, but we still have work to do.” Emphasized Jahner, “Our goals will continue to be state champions.” Coach Wolf added, “These seniors left the underclassmen with a lot of advice and set a great example, it will be fun to see who steps up to the plate next year to fill those roles.”

If the dawgs continue to grow on their successes, that is exactly where they will end up.

Lady Night Hawks sweep Richardson-Taylor

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For The Pioneer

The Night Hawk volleyball team had a successful Senior Night as they downed Richardton-Taylor in three sets, 25-9, 25-16 and 25-22 on Oct. 25. The

Raiders came into the match with a 1-9 region record and an overall 3-15-1 record.

The Night Hawks came out on fire as they jumped to a quick 7-0 lead behind the serving of Molly Holt and kept building on that lead.

Holt also ended up getting the deciding point. They

were saving many returns that looked like they could not get to strictly on their desire and hustle. Even though the remaining two sets were closer the Night Hawks continued to be aggressive. At one point in the third set the score stood at 20-20 but the home team

put it away after that to complete the sweep. The Raiders hurt themselves in that final set by failing to serve the ball over the net too many times.

The victory kept the Night Hawks in second place with one remaining region game against Bowman at Bow-

man on Nov. 1. Although Bowman has a 2-7 region record, as they say, you can throw the records out when these two rivals face each other.

Both the Night Hawks “C” squad and the Junior Varsity won their matches by going 2-0 in sets. The “C” squad

was victorious by scores of 25-17 and 25-10. The JV won by margins of 25-14 and 25-18.

Being recognized at senior night were players Taylor Burwick, Madison Warbis, Skylynne Cummings, Sam Reuther and Brianna Robinson.

G AME AND F ISH N EWS Donate Deer to Sportsmen Against Hunger

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is reminding deer hunters to keep in mind the Sportsmen Against Hunger program this fall.

While this year’s deer proclamation allows only one deer gun license per hunter, families with more than one license might want to consider donating a deer to this worthy cause. In addition, hunters with an archery and muzzleloader license can help as well.

The list of participating processors is available on the North Dakota Community Action website, www.capnd. org.

Sportsmen Against Hunger is a charitable program that raises money for processing of donated goose and deer meat, and coordinates distribution of donated meat to food pantries in North Dakota. It is administered by NDCAP, a nonprofit agency that serves low-income families across the state.

CWD Surveillance Continues

The State Game and Fish Department will continue its Hunter-Harvested Surveillance program during the 2016 hunting season, by sampling deer for chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis from 13 units in North Dakota. In addition, all moose and elk harvested in the state are eligible for testing.

Samples from hunter-harvested deer taken in the eastern portion of the state will

be tested from units 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F1, 2F2, 2G, 2G1, 2G2 and 2L. In addition, deer will be tested from unit 3F2 in the southwest.

Every head sampled must have either the deer tag attached, or a new tag can be filled out with the license number, deer hunting unit and date harvested.

Hunters are encouraged to drop off deer heads at the following locations: · Aneta – Aneta Meats Service · Bismarck – Game and Fish Department, Call of the Wild Taxidermy · Bottineau – Mattern Family Meats · Cando – K&E Meats · Carrington – Barton Meats · Casselton – Casselton Cold Storage · Devils Lake – Game and Fish Department · Dickinson – Game and Fish Department · Dunseith – Wayne’s Food Pride · Edgeley – Cenex · Enderlin – Maple Valley Lockers · Fargo – J&K Taxidermy, Jer’s Wildlife Taxidermy · Fordville – Dakota Prairie Wildlife Club · Grand Forks – Bob’s Oil, Ted’s Taxidermy · Great Bend – Manock Meats · Gwinner – Stoppleworth Taxidermy · Jamestown – Game and

On a cold April day, Ben Hylden tried on his suit coat for the upcoming school prom, then sped toward nearby Park River, ND, for an appointment.

Running late and driving too fast, he lost control of his car on ice, flipped the car and was thrown out of the passenger’s door -plunging face-first into an icy field. Ben’s face and body were crushed, along with his dreams of being a basketball star.

For more information or to obtain application, contact: Laci Coates, Human Resources Southwest Healthcare Services 802 2nd St. NW, Bowman, ND 58623 lcoates@swhealthcare.net (701) 523-3214 www.swhealthcare.net/employment EOE

As his battered body lay in the field, Ben’s life seemed to be coming to an end.

However, it turned out to only be the beginning of a remarkable journey of faith that showed him glimpses of life beyond this world, and gave him a new perspective on what matters most.

Upcoming Speaking Event: Author and Motivational Speaker Benjamin Hylden will be speaking at Bowman United Methodist Church in Bowman, ND on Saturday, October 29 at 7 pm, and again in the morning worship at 10:10!

DESIGN SPACES

Mobiles: Not just for babies

By LINDA BROOKS Interior Designer

Interior design, although usually limited to interior spaces in homes and commercial settings, is a field that broadens to include questions about landscape design, gardens and sculptures.

Today I am featuring mobiles – known as 3D drawings in space. They are also called sculptures in motion or kinetic art (sculptural constructions having movable parts activated by motor, wind, or hand pressure).

The look of the piece changes as it is revolves, creating a new arrangement of planes and solids in three-dimensional movement.

The most well known American mobile sculptor is Alexander Calder, (18981976). His parents, Nanette (a painter) and Alexander (a sculptor), were both accomplished artists. He first studied mechanical engineering but gravitated to the study of art and kinetics (movement of objects in space). His mobile sculptures are displayed all over the world – his favorite colors were red, blue, and yellow with touches of black and white. His mobiles may bring out a childlike joy in the viewers.

Alexander Calder created hanging mobiles but also “stabiles” – they are anchored to the earth but imply movement. On my walks in Minneapolis I came

upon a number of earth fixed mobiles swaying gently in the breeze. Depending on where I stood as I viewed the sculptures, I saw so many different views of the same pieces of art.

I guess you could say I have been captivated by mobiles, standing mesmerized as I watched them move and sway and turn in endless patterns.

My first look at mobiles came in 9th grade – our Art teacher told us all about them and then assigned us the task of making a working mobile.

What a daunting task – it had to move, it had be carefully balanced and be light enough so that indoor air currents could do their part.

I searched and found a pattern for one that was made of construction paper, copper wire, glue and thread. Dad supplied the copper wire from a motor he had deconstructed. I remember that it took a long time to make and I was finally able, after much experimentation, to get it to work correctly.

In college, my education about the world of mobiles developed further– learning about very small ones and huge sculptural pieces. My sister, Angela began making mobiles with copper, gold and silver wire our Dad brought home to her. One of her mobiles, “Silent Sound” features musical instruments. Another featured 25 mini copper tricycles (this was part of her Senior Proj-

ect).

One of the topics I looked at featured mobiles in Minneapolis, MN – there are so many gracing the numerous walking paths and parks in the cities. If you visit there you can view many mobiles first hand. Because so many of them are located out of doors one can enjoy them even if you cannot get to a museum. The Sculpture Gardens in Minneapolis encompass 11 acres that are filled with sculptures of all sorts –these gardens are located near the Walker Art Center.

I hope you have enjoyed the look at the mesmerizing

world of mobiles.
