Governor taps Gion to fill vacant judgeship

We Say ‘Farewell’

Gov. Jack Dalrymple stands with new Southwest Judicial District Judge Jim Gion.

From STAFF REPORTS Gov. Jack Dalrymple appointed Regent attorney James Gion to the position of Southwest Judicial District Court judge on Nov. 10, with chambers in Dickinson. Gion replaces Zane Anderson of Bowman who retired at the beginning of the month after serving 15 years on the bench. “James brings to the bench an outstanding record of service and a wealth of legal experience that will be a great benefit to the citizens served by the Southwest Judicial District,” Dalrymple said in a press release. “I am confident that James will bring to the bench the same sense of fairness and respect for the law that has defined his career.” Gion has served as the Hettinger County State’s Attorney since 1991 and the Slope County State’s Attorney since 2012. He has also served as the state’s attorney for Bowman and Grant counties as well as the attorney for the city of Regent. A longtime prosecutor, Gion has managed a wide range of criminal and civil matters including jury trials, child support enforcement and other law enforcement matters. He established the Gion Law Office in 1982 where he has gained extensive experience in general law practice including civil litigation, administrative law, probate and estate planning. A lifelong resident of Hettinger County, Gion earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from the University of North Dakota in 1976. He earned his law degree at the Dakota State’s Attorneys’ Association and has served on a com-

o w m a n County paid a final tribute to one of its finest last week. Paul Mosbrucker, 48, succumbed to cancer Oct. 30, following a courageous yearlong battle. Hundreds attended his funeral service Nov. 6 at St. Charles Catholic Church in BowMosbrucker man to mourn his death and to celebrate his life. Towards the end of the ceremony, a Last Call for Mosbrucker was broadcast over the airwaves, paying

tribute to one of the most beloved community members and longtime volunteers of Bowman’s fire department. His casket was carried out of the church by fellow firefighters in uniform, lifted atop a shiny, red rig that bore his name, and followed behind a long line of trucks from Bowman and the surrounding fire districts of Rhame, Scranton, Marmarth, Amidon and Ludlow, S.D. Activity in the community seemed to pause as it said farewell. Mosbrucker would always greet you with a contagious smile. If you knew him, you understood he was

one of the kindest, most selfless people in the community. For 21 years, Mosbrucker offered his time as a dedicated volunteer firefighter for the Bowman Fire Department. As owner of High Plains Glass and Towing in Bowman, he spent his full-time career helping people who found themselves in helpless situations, when they had trouble with their vehicle or had gotten stuck off road. “… Paul was one of the good guys; the definition of a stand up guy,” Brock White of South Heart wrote on the Pioneer’s Facebook page. “I’m proud to call Bowman home, and though it may be dark, it is moments like this that remind me why it’s the best place in the world. “Prayers up to his family, and prayers up to the greatest commu-

Speaker puts emphasis on valor during Veteran’s Day program By JASON WASKIEWICZ For the Pioneer

Forty veterans accepted Bowman County High School’s invitation to attend its annual Veterans Day program on Tuesday, along with a large group of community members coming out to pay tribute. The Bowman County High School Choir opened with several musical num-

bers and then Andrea Richard read President Barack Obama’s Veterans Day Proclamation. Retired Captain Joshua Lazzara spoke to the group about what it means to be a veteran. His experience came from four years in the Marine Corps and five years in the Army. His service included time in Afghanistan. Lazzara spoke of the key values of being a veteran: service, honor, courage,

NEWS BRIEFS AAA: A third of new vehicles not equipped with spare Automakers’ decision to eliminate the spare tire may leave more than 30 million drivers vulnerable at the roadside, according to new research from AAA. Tire inflator kits, a high-cost alternative for consumers, have replaced the spare tire in millions of vehicles over the last 10 model years and, due to their limited functionality, cannot provide even a temporary fix for many common tire-related problems. AAA calls on automakers to put consumer interests first and halt the elimination of the spare tire. “Flat tires are not a disappearing problem, but spare tires are,” said John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director of Automotive Engineering and Repair. “AAA responds to more than four million calls for flat tire assistance annually and, despite advances in vehicle technology, we have not seen a decline in tire-related calls over the last five years.” Along with run-flat tires, tire inflator kits have replaced spare tires on 29 million vehicles in the last 10 model years, steadily increasing from five percent of 2006 model year vehicles to more than one-inthree 2015 model year vehicles (36 percent) sold. While each four-pound kit eliminates approximately 30 pounds of weight, resulting in minimal savings in fuel consumption, the replacement cost is high. With some kits costing up to $300 per use, a tire inflator kit can cost consumers up to 10 times more than a simple tire repair and has a shelf life of only four to eight years. AAA tested the most common tire inflator kits in today’s vehicles and found that the units worked well in some scenarios, but they are not a substitute for a spare tire. For an inflator kit to work effectively, a tire must be punctured in the tread surface and the object must remain in the tire. Used correctly, the kit then coats the inner wall of the tire with a sealant and a compressor re-inflates the tire. If the puncture-causing object is no longer in the tire, a sidewall is damaged or a blowout occurs, a tire inflator kit cannot remedy the situation and the vehicle will require a tow.

LOCAL HEALTH CARE

Southwest Healthcare to welcome first of 3 new physicians By BRYCE MARTIN

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Difficult times in rural health care sometimes require creative thinking, which led Southwest Healthcare Services to Aurora Outreach Services of Grand Forks in hopes of finding a solution to losing its current physicians. Southwest Healthcare Services announced this week that it will work together with Aurora Outreach Services, a North Dakota-based independent physician services group, to continue providing health care services under a new creative model. “We will continue to recruit physicians and advanced practice professionals for our community, but this arrangement will allow us to maintain consistent, quality healthcare services long into the future,” said Becky Hansen, CEO of Southwest Healthcare Services. Working with Aurora, Southwest Healthcare will introduce three new physicians in 2016. The first of the three is Dr. Benjamin Krogh, who

will begin seeing patients Jan. 1. Krogh, a doctor of osteopathy, is a graduate of the Kirksville (Mo.) College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his family practice residency training at Northeast Regional Medical Center in Kirksville, Mo. He is board certified in family practice and has practiced rural family medicine for many years in both Utah and North Dakota. He has a special interest in clinic care for general family practice and pediatrics in particular, although he sees patients of all ages. He enjoys developing long-term relationships with his patients and getting to know them well. Krogh is married and has six children. Along with spending time with his family, he has an interest in outdoor sports including fly-fishing, camping, hunting, biking and skiing. Krogh will begin providing services at Southwest Healthcare Services beginning Jan. 1; clinic appointments can now be scheduled by calling Southwest Medical Clinic. With the three new

physicians, Southwest Healthcare Services will continue to provide, without disruption, all of the current services that include clinic, outpatient, ER, hospital, long-term care, and EMS support. The providers become part of the medical fabric in the local community and will work alongside local providers, Patty Gilbert, physician assistant, and Chris Peterson, family nurse practitioner. Aurora Outreach Services has worked with several critical access hospitals throughout the state to provide full- and part-time family physicians, internal medicine physicians, and advanced practice professionals for a variety of services. The providers are experienced rural healthcare providers

with extensive emergency room and family medicine backgrounds. They understand the importance of critical access hospitals and the need to keep care local, to work well with staff and patients, and to become a part of the local community as much as possible. Based in Grand Forks, Aurora Outreach Services is a rural outreach provider service that was started in 2005 by Dr. Mark Peterson, a native of Grand Forks and a graduate of the University of North Dakota’s School of Medicine. Peterson is a board certified family physician and has practiced family medicine in rural Alaska and rural North Dakota for over 20 years. “We're very excited to be

working with Southwest Healthcare Services. It's an outstanding facility and staff,” said Peterson, president of Aurora Outreach Services. “I've enjoyed several visits here to Bowman and am very impressed by the commitment to healthcare that Becky Hansen and the board have shown. “We're very happy to be assisting in their continued efforts to provide excellent healthcare for the community.” The Aurora Outreach Services physicians and advanced practice professionals are highly experienced and committed to providing comprehensive care in the clinic, emergency room, hospital, and long-term care settings. They believe in long-term partnerships and continuity of care.

Say Anything By ROB PORT Guest Columnist

Leave it in the ground: Not an option On September 19, 2008, TransCanada submitted a permit request to the U.S. State Department to build a pipeline across the American/Canadian border. The name of this project was the Keystone XL pipeline. It took 2,605 days – 7 years, one month, and 19 days of obnoxious political dithering – for the permit to be rejected. In shooting down the project, President Obama said it has had “an overinflated role in our political discourse.” True, maybe. The Keystone XL project was actually just phase 4 of the Keystone pipeline network which stretches across the United States. The first two phases of this network are already completed and operating. Phase 3 is currently under construction. Phase 4 was the Keystone XL phase, and because it became a national political football it has been canceled. That changes nothing about the thousands of miles of pipeline already built and operating. But I’m not sure the role of the Keystone XL pipeline in America’s energy infrastructure has been overinflated. It represents a shift in the environmental left’s approach to opposing fossil fuels. No longer are they satisfied with merely reducing dependence on fossil fuels. They’ve moved to a more extreme goal: The elimination of oil production entirely. The political defeat of the Keystone XL project - I say political because it passed every environmental and safety review with flying colors - is fuel for that fire. You don’t have to take my word for it. “It’s good, and at the same time it cannot be the extent of Obama’s work on climate,” Lindsey Allen, Rainforest Action Network executive director, told Time of Obama’s Keystone decision. “This is an opportunity to build on momentum and work to stop other projects like this.” Allen’s group is part of a new initiative called Keep It In The Ground which seeks to stop oil and gas production entirely. That this would be disastrous for the American economy, and the average

American citizen’s quality of life, seems lost on these people. The vast improvements in everything from cross-country mobility thanks to low-cost transportation to cheap consumer products made from plastics derived from petroleum would be lost if we “keep it in the ground.” But the people behind this push have President Obama’s ear, as the Keystone decision proves, and that has serious implications for the American energy industry. For instance, North Dakota is America’s second largest producer of oil. The state’s oil producers are desperate to move away from oil-by-rail shipments which are not only expensive - east coast refiners have been turning their backs on North Dakota crude because of costs - but sometimes oil trains derail and explode. Yet pending pipeline infrastructure projects that were already in the crosshairs of activists now seem like a bad bet postKeystone. The Sandpiper pipeline would run from Tioga, ND through Minnesota to Wisconsin and would take as much as 250,000 barrels per day. The Dakota Access pipeline would run from northwest North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois, carrying as much as 450,000 barrels per day. Together these two lines, combined with the 100,000 barrels of daily capacity the Keystone XL pipeline would have provided, could take just about all of North Dakota crude currently being shipped by rail. But both projects have met with furious political opposition that, while not garnering as much national media attention as the Keystone controversy did, is no less furious. It will no doubt be more furious now that the antipipeline activists got a victory on Keystone. This isn’t a good development for North Dakota, where the oil and gas industry is a major economic driver. Heck, it’s not a good development for America. This means it will be harder for our country to develop its resources, even as other nations continue to develop and sell theirs on the international market. Which, by the way, is also closed to the American oil industry thanks to the ban on oil exports President Obama has promised to protect with his veto pen from congressional efforts to rescind it. Like with Keystone, “leave it in the ground” would be a big political victory for those advocating it. But it would be a big defeat for America’s well being.

Please remind me of this again this winter when Shirley’s face is frostbitten and the tractor won’t start. On Saturday we moved a bunch of cows to the harvested cornfields. My ideas of beauty have somewhat changed over the years. Knowing that the prettiest thing in the world is a bunch of cows grazing in a valley surrounded by harvested corn and cover crops shows you my advanced age!

HAT TIPS is generously sponsored by the following businesses:

The move was something special. It’s about nine miles and the cows pretty much know that what is waiting for them at the end of the trail drive. Many of them have made the trek before. Cows can be rather dumb. But usually they have a better idea than the guy chasing them. Grandpa always said the fastest way to work cows was slow and he was sure right. And these mama cows knew that in a few hours they would be eating corn on the cob, sunflowers, turnips, radishes, and Sudan grass. We weren’t really chasing them. We were following them. I was doing a little figuring this morning. Now I’m in my late sixties. One guy in a pickup was in his late seventies. After that there was a dramatic drop off in age. I’d guess the youngest cowboy was probably a long four or a short five. Then there was probably a six or seven. Maybe two that age. And a nine for sure. And they were mounted on horses that had more experience than any of the riders on the trail drive. We start out going down a gravel road by Lake Ilo. Then cross Highway 200, get on a section line, kind of sneak around Killdeer, and then head north to the fields. They’re a

few adults, half a dozen kids, four or five dogs, a feed pickup, and a couple trailers in case someone got cold and needed to warm up a little. They didn’t. When we were about a mile from cow heaven, we crossed a stubble field. All of a sudden the competitive juices surged up in me. I let out a Rebel yell and charged past our youngest drovers. As in the old country song, “my challenge was answered in less than a heart beat”! And away we went. Me whipping and spurring a threeyear-old colt. My competition whipping and spurring their twenty plus year old horses. American Pharaoh would have been proud. But when the dust settled, which happened fairly quickly, I lost. Mainly because the excitement and the exertion gave me a side ache. Now I have never heard of a jockey having to pull up because he got a side ache, but trust me, it happened. But you talk about a young bunch of cowboys that can move cows, I’ve seen them. And in a few years I will guarantee you some of them will be seeing the bright lights of Vegas from a bucking chute!

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

N.D. Outdoors By DOUG LEIER

With deer season in full swing, it’s a good time to take a look at a couple of diseases that can influence the state’s deer populations. As we all know, wildlife can get diseases, just like humans. In a recent North Dakota Game and Fish Department webcast, Dr. Dan Grove, the Department’s wildlife veterinarian, shared his insight

on two different diseases with which many deer hunters are familiar. To paraphrase Dr. Grove, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD for short, occasionally pops up. Fortunately, this year Game and Fish has not received any reports of dead deer that would indicate active EHD this fall. There are two viruses that can cause it. Both are spread by biting midges. There is actually an EHD virus, and there is also what is called bluetongue virus. People use the names interchangeably, but it is actually two separate viruses, but deer can get both. Historically, EHD has

vocate for oil counties, particularly bringing attention to the needs of oil counties to retain more of the revenues being raised there to address immediate impacts.

The North Dakota Association of Counties is a nonprofit organization that strives to provide leadership to assure fair, effective, efficient government through education,

North Dakota did not have a single case of chronic wasting disease, up until a few years ago, but we do have now. So far the state has had seven positive animals – six mule deer and one white-tailed deer – all from deer hunting unit 3F2, which is south and west of the Missouri River and borders against South Dakota. Dr. Grove says this disease is basically spread through direct contact or movement of infectious materials out of an area, which is why North Dakota has restrictions in place on carcass movements, and specific regulations on what can and cannot

be transported in and out of unit 3F2. Game and Fish has diligently monitored for CWD, targeting specific units and specific areas. This year the focus is the western third of the state – units that are south and west of the Missouri, and units that are west of U.S. Highway 83 on the north side of the Missouri river. Game and Fish samples deer taken in unit 3F2 every year. This includes collecting hunter-harvested heads, as well as incidentals like road-killed deer. Lymph nodes are collected and submitted for testing. Dr. Grove reminds North Dakota hunt-

ers returning from big game hunting trips to other states that there are import regulations that apply to many areas. Basically, if you are hunting in an area of a state that is known to have CWD, you are going to have certain restrictions, and you need to review the North Dakota proclamation on the Game and Fish Department website, at gf.nd. gov, before you return. Because of the risk of spreading CWD, hunting big game over bait during any big game season is no longer allowed in units 3F2, 3F1, 3E1, 3E2, and the part of unit 3C that lies west of the Missouri River.

Bowman, a ‘go-to oil advocate’, gets honors for leadership

The North Dakota Association of Counties (NDACo) honored four county officials and Gov. Jack Dalrymple in a ceremony last month during the NDACo Annual Conference in Bismarck. The Excellence in County Government Awards honor those who our have shown exceptional a dedication, leadership and involvement for the good p a of all counties. Receiving the County rom Commissioner award was ble Bill Bowman of Bowman eti- County. Mr. Bowman was nominated for the t st award by the ND County Commissioners Association, citing his leadership e art statewide both in his role as a Commissioner and as a State Senator representing District 39.

e , it

occurred south and west of the Missouri River, but in recent outbreaks since about 2009, we have actually seen an expansion east of the river and north of the river. We have actually had cases as far east as Grand Forks County. So basically anywhere the midge lives there is potential that the disease can exist. The virus can live in deer, it can live in cattle, so the midge can then spread it from one sick animal to another. Most of the white-tailed deer that get EHD eventually die, and in years when an outbreak is widespread, population loss can be significant.

Night Hawks show poise despite semifinals loss S H O W

N O

F E A R

By COLE BENZ

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net The Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawk football season ended with a semifinal loss to the North Prairie Cougars (110). The defense for Hettinger-Scranton (8-3) performed admirably against a team that averaged 41 points-pergame throughout the regular season and playoffs, allowing only 20 points. But their offense got stuck, and the Night Hawks could only put eight points on the board with a touchdown and 2-point conversion with less than one minute remaining. With the win, North Prairie will face the Region 1 No. 1 seed Richland High School (11-0) in the title game at the Fargodome. North Prairie set the tone early. In a surprise move, the Cougars opened the game with an onside kick and recovered the ball. After a touchdown by North Prairie, they tried some trickery again with another onside kick. This time, Hettinger-Scranton was prepared and they were able to keep possession. The Cougars got the ball back when quarterback Hudson Pierce, a junior, threw an interception, his first of two in the game. After the turnover, the Night Hawk defense held the line strong and forced a turnover on downs. The Cougars were relentless, though, and blocked

ight Hawks end season with 8-3 record; defeated in semifinals by North Prairie (Rolla) Cougars, who has averaged 41 points per game. Team shows resiliency: ■ Senior quarterback Braxon Yates out with head injury; knee injury during playoffs ■ Junior linebacker Alec Andress spent most of season with back injury Night Hawks will miss several players next season: ■ Offensive/defensive line Colbey Steeke, Tanner Sanford, Braxon Yates, Brandon Pierce, Devin Faller, Logan Lachowitzer and Samuel Kludt graduate next year the ensuing Night Hawk punt, giving them good field possession. North Prairie would score on a quarterback sneak from senior Jalen Pfiefer. The 2-point play was not converted, the Cougars led 12-0. The Cougars would have possession of the ball as the first half was winding down, and Pfiefer kneeled to run out the clock. Each team was rendered scoreless in the third quarter. But the Cougars struck again with five minutes left in the fourth. They converted the 2-point play and went up 20-0.

The Night Hawks were driving before Hudson Pierce threw another interception. Senior running back Brandon Pierce put the Night Hawks on the board with a 28-yard touchdown pass from Hudson Pierce with less than a minute left. Though they converted the 2-point play on a Hudson Pierce run, the game was too far out of reach. The North Prairie defense had just as much to do with the win as its offense. One week after holding Richardton/ Taylor/Hebron’s Denver Colgrove in check, they were able to bottle up each one of the three 1,000-yard rushers

on the Night Hawk roster. The Night Hawks amassed only 58 yards. It’s an end to a Night Hawk season that saw them make the playoffs for the first time in the history of the coop. They went 5-1 in the region, and received a bye during the first week of the 9-man playoffs. The team also featured a star-studded rushing attack this year. Seniors Brandon Pierce, Tanner Sanford and sophomore Isaiah Kludt each ran for over 1,000 yards in the season. The team showed resiliency after injuries forced some key players out for a significant time. Senior quarterback Braxon Yates missed significant time with a head injury before being lost for the season with a knee injury during the playoffs, and junior linebacker Alec Andress spent most of the season on the sidelines nursing a back injury. Heading into next season the team will be missing a big presence on the offensive line and defensive line as Colbey Steeke is a graduating senior. Other seniors graduating include Sanford, Yates, B. Pierce, Devin Faller, Logan Lachowitzer and Samuel Kludt. Game Stats: (Rushing) Hettinger/ Scranton—B. Pierce 8-34, Sanford 5-14, I. Kludt 6-10, H. Pierce 2-10. North Prairie—Taylor Scott 21-122, Jalen Pfeifer 17-104. (Passing) Hettinger/Scranton—H. Pierce 3-7-2 49, Sanford 0-1-1. North Prairie—Pfiefer 2-5-0 18. (Receiving) Hettinger/ Scranton—B. Pierce 3-49.

Night Hawks win regional play-in game; fall to New England in quarterfinals

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

Hettinger-Scranton had to face the Bowman Bulldogs on Nov. 6 for the second time in a week, but the second time was the regional play-in game. The first set was close through the first half, as at one point it was tied 1111. The Night Hawks then took charge and downed the lady Bulldogs 25-13. The second set ended with the same score as the Bulldogs just could not get their play going. The Night Hawks jumped out to a quick 7-1 lead, and at one point in the set held a commanding 20-3 lead. The Bulldogs fought back but could not overcome the big deficit. Bowman continued to step up their play in the

last set, and although they lost 26-24, the Bulldogs played well. Senior Lizzy Thompson was on fire as she had 15 kills to lead the Night Hawks, junior setter Tayler Burwick had 34 assists and senior Kayla Chadwick had seven digs. Freshman Ellie Stafford led Bowman County with eight kills, while senior Taylor Powell had three kills and three blocks. Junior Skylar Ruggles led in digs with 14. Hettinger-Scranton came into the match with a 6-5 region record and an overall 17-17 record, a huge improvement over their record last season. Last season their region record was 2-9 and they also lost the regional playin game to Heart River. The Bulldogs came into the match winless in region play with a 0-11 record.

With the win the Night Hawks took on New England in the Region 7 tournament on Nov. 9 at Trinity and lost all three sets by scores of 25-23, 25-15 and 25-15. Good defense by both teams as the Night Hawks recorded 105 digs and the Tigers had 95. Leading the Night Hawks in kills were Lizzy Thompson with 13, Katelyn Turner had eight. Leading Hettinger/Scranton in digs were Thompson (22), Kayla Chadwick with (21) and Molly Holt with 15. Tayler Burwick added 26 assists. The loss ended the season for the HettingerScranton volleyball team. Playing their last game for the Nighthawks were seniors Kayla Chadwick, HaLea Mehrer, Katelyn Turner, Lizzy Thompson, Tara Dillon and Calli Miller.

OPINION

SKOL!: The Vikings Vine

Don’t look now, but the Minnesota Vikings are tied with the Green Bay Packers atop the NFC North. After squeaking by the St. Louis Rams 21-18 on Sunday By the Vikings improved to 6-2. Combine Jordan that with a Green Bay loss to Carolina, Wright and all of a sudden the upcoming game between these two teams has gotten a lot more interesting. Adrian Peterson was the star of this game. Peterson carried the ball 29 times for 125 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a couple passes for an additional 18 yards. In the fourth quarter and overtime, when the game was close, Peterson touched the ball 11 times for 65 yards. For all the talk about the Ram’s rookie running back Todd Gurley, it was Peterson who shined brightest on this day. Something tells me Peterson didn’t want to be out done by the rookie, especially on his home turf. Peterson did have a couple fumbles, but luckily the team was able to overcome them. As my grandpa told me after the game, “this is the first time I’ve seen Adrian look like Adrian all season.” Teddy Bridgewater was knocked out in the fourth quarter by a dirty hit while he was sliding to the turf. In a move that shocked no one, a defense led by Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams took a cheap shot on the opposing quarterback. If the name Gregg Williams sounds familiar, it should. He was the defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints who took multiple cheap shots at Brett Favre in the NFC Championship game in 2009. Williams was later found to be guilty of putting “bounties” out on opposing teams, essentially paying his players for each injury they caused. During his post-game presser, Mike Zimmer called the hit a “cheap shot”, and even said “If we were on the street, we probably would have had a fight” in regards to Gregg Williams. The player of the game is Linval Joseph, a player who doesn’t get nearly the amount of attention he deserves. Coming into this game against the Rams, Joseph was Pro Football Focus’ seventh best rated interior defender. Linval has been an anchor on the defensive line, and this might have been his best game of the season. The position he plays dictates that Joseph takes on two blockers most plays, freeing up the rest of the defense to take advantage of their one on one matchups. He might not get much attention from the national media, but he’s this week’s player of the week. This was a tough week to pinpoint the player who needs the most improvement. But after re-watching the game, Harrison Smith was a ghost. In a game that was mostly running plays and short passes, Harrison should have had a great day statistically. Unfortunately for Harry the Hitman, he was mostly quiet. Besides sharing a tackle with Linval Joseph, Harrison Smith only had a quarterback hit beside his name in the stat sheet (according to ESPN). Rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs (1) was even credited with more tackles than Smith! Looking ahead, the Vikings play the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 15. This game will be at 3:05 p.m., unlike most Vikings games that start at noon. Oakland is a team who is vastly improved from the Oakland teams of recent memory. Offensively, the Raiders are led by the up and coming quarterback/wide receiver duo of Derek Carr and Amari Cooper. Defensively, the Raiders have a good mix of youth and veteran leadership with players like Khalil Mack and Charles Woodson. If the Vikings get Teddy back in time for this game, it will be a competitive game between two up and coming teams. I might be a little biased, but I’m taking the Vikings in this one.

GRANT: Latest CT technology will benefit patients at Southwest Healthcare FROM PAGE 4

scanners. The Rural Healthcare Program of the Helmsley Charitable Trust is granting nearly $14 million over the next six months to support the purchase of new, 32-slice or higher CT scanners at Critical Access Hospitals in a sevenstate region. “Our goal is to ensure that people who live in rural America have access to quality healthcare as close to home as possible,” said Walter Panzirer, trustee of the Helmsley Charitable Trust. “To achieve this, rural hospitals need to be viable and they need to have up-to-date equipment, so patients can receive es-

t n a

sential healthcare services locally. This initiative is one of many that aims to improve healthcare access and health outcomes across the upper Midwest.” The funding initiative was the result of a survey of Critical Access Hospitals in the Rural Healthcare Program’s seven-state funding region. Capital equipment, particularly CT scanners, was identified as a top need by many hospitals. In addition, a new Medicare policy will go into effect Jan. 1, 2016 that may reduce reimbursement for certain studies on CT scanners that do not meet specific radiation dose requirements.
