Pipeline hemorrhages 213 barrels of source water Second large Denbury leak in area over last 2 years
By BRYCE MARTIN
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net MARMARTH — Cleanup is currently underway on a spill of almost 10,000 gallons of source water south of Marmarth. The spill, reported on Monday to the N.D. Dept. of Health, is
the second large spill in the last two years to occur in the area from a pipeline owned by Denbury Onshore LLC. The leak occurred about six miles south of Marmarth in Bowman County at a well named CHSU 13-36ND26. Despite the large amount of water released, Bill Suess of the Spill Investigation Program with the Dept. of Health confirmed

that there is no cause for alarm because only a small amount of the water escaped off the well’s
pad. Of the nearly 10,000 gallons— or 213 barrels—Suess said only

AND THE WINNER IS...
The Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated excellence in the community last week as it awarded its annual Star Award to the business, volunteer and event of the year. Each year since 2009, the chamber has paid tribute to three facets of the community that perpetuate the meaning of community. The awards distributed this year, during the chamber’s Christmas party Dec. 5, marked no exception to the criteria of excellence required. Bowman Sales and Service was honored as business of the year, Pioneer Trails Regional Museum Manager Lori Nohner was awarded best volunteer and the Bowman County Development Corp.’s Empowering Leaders took home a Star Award for best service project or local event. “Within every community there are people and businesses who go above and beyond what is normally expected, in order to benefit those around them,” said Emily Bostayn, chamber president. “In our area we are blessed to have many such people.” The purpose of the Star Awards is to recognize people, events and businesses that prioritize community and work to better it. Award recipients are nominated by a chamber member then go in front of a three-person committee of chamber members that decides the winners. Those committee members are not eligible to nominate. Winners are different each year because rules stipulate they cannot receive an award again for five years. The Chamber Star Business of the
33 barrels leaked off the site’s pad. The pad has a slope to its edges and most of the water tracked along its toe, or lowest part. The water flowed to the south and the north. Suess said the water did not reach any nearby water sources. “It didn’t get very far off the pad,” he explained. Source water differs from fresh groundwater in that its sodium content is slightly higher. Source water is also far less full of contaminants than produced water, which contains chemicals
Bowman Sales, accepted the award with employees Josh Lindstrom and Melissa Hilton. Bergquist quickly turned the microphone over to Lindstrom, who he claimed organized most of the community involvement. Bowman Sales has sponsored and lend a helping hand in events for the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce such as the North Dakota High School Rodeo Finals, Farmer/Rancher Ag Appreciation Banquet, Fourth of July Fireworks and many more. Nohner was taken by surprise as her name was called as this year’s Chamber Star Volunteer of the Year. “Motivated, dedicated and knowl-

NEWS BRIEFS North Dakota named ‘best run state’ for 4th year North Dakota was credited with being the best run state in the nation for a fourth consecutive year, according to a 24/7 Wall St. study released last week. The study looks at data on financial health, standard of living and government services by the state to determine how well each state is managed. “North Dakota continues to build an environment that supports business growth and creates quality of life for our citizens,” Commerce Commissioner Al Anderson said. “Being recognized for the fourth consecutive year by 24/7 Wall St. only goes to support that North Dakota is a great place for businesses and career seekers alike.” The top five best run states were: North Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. The study determines how well states are run by looking at fiscal management, taxes, exports, and GDP growth by sectors, as well as, quality of life components such as poverty, income, unemployment, high school graduation, crime and foreclosure rates. The study states: “with its nation-leading 2.8 percent unemployment rate, (North Dakota) has attracted large numbers of workers seeking highpaying jobs. Net migration over five years through 2014 accounts for 6.6 percent of North Dakota’s current population, the largest share of any state. The remarkable population growth is a testament to the state’s economic strength over the past several ye ars.”
674 citations for seat belt, child restraint last month Extra traffic safety patrols during the month of November resulted in over 2,000 citizen contacts across North Dakota. Thirty-eight law enforcement agencies, including the North Dakota Highway Patrol, reported additional shifts in November for Click It Or Ticket seat belt enforcement. A total of 2,106 citations were attributed to the added patrols. Of the total, 653 were citations for failure to use a proper safety restraint and 21 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 891. The traffic stops also resulted in one felony violation, 29 drug arrests and seven DUIs. Increased law enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to eliminate roadway deaths in North Dakota. Seat belt use is crucial to preventing motor vehicle crash injuries and deaths. Sixty-nine percent of those who died in passenger vehicle crashes in North Dakota in 2014 were unbelted. Last year’s crash data also showed that nearly 80 percent of passenger vehicle occupants wearing a seat belt who were involved in a fatal crash received no injuries.

The final award of the evening was presented to a service project or local event that “Shines Above and Beyond,” hence the awards name. That was awarded to the Empowering Leaders event organized by the Bowman County Development Corp. Its goal is to make the community a better place to live and work, according to Bostayn. The service project or event does not have to be hosted or sponsored by the chamber, but must involve at
least three chamber members. “Looking at all the nominations for this award, we could not think of event that was more deserving than tonight’s winner,” Bostayn said. The group began as a service project to grow leadership in the communities. It since has allowed people of all ages to come together, grow in both personal and professional development, build friendships and grow community spirit.

That spill, which occurred on Sept. 1, 2014, was of 2,000 barrels—or 92,000 gallons—of source water used for enhanced oil recovery. It resulted from a leak in the Paynter Source Well’s pipeline, about four miles from the location of this week’s
spill. Karl Rockeman of the Dept. of Health said at the time that the department’s inspector was present at the site, the water had flowed into a nearby creek and, unlike the present spill, no water could be recovered. “By the time it mixes with the water from the creek and from the precipitation, the impacts are not likely to be very severe,” Rockeman told the Pioneer last year.

Season of Giving
upon us, please consider a donation to the Sunrise Foundation.
Gifts can come in many packages, and a gift to the Sunrise Foundation will have lasting affects for the community. For hard to buy for individuals, you may even consider giving, to the Sunrise Foundation, in the name of someone on your Christmas list. There are many reasons to give but in 2015 there is one huge reason.
North Dakota Tax Credit
The North Dakota Legislature passed a law which allows for generous tax credits for individuals and businesses who give to approved North Dakota charities, such as the Sunrise Foundation. An individual may receive a state tax credit for a contribution of $5,000 or more (lump sum or aggregate in one year) to a qualified North Dakota endowment, like Sunrise Foundation. The tax credit is 40% of the charitable reduction allowed by the IRS, up to a maximum credit of $10,000 per year per taxpayer or $20,000 per year per couple filing jointly. For donors in a 28% federal tax bracket, the tax benefits may look like this: Gift Amount: Federal Tax deduction N.D. state income tax credit
$5,000 -1,400 -2,000
$10,000 -2,800 -4,000

$1,600 $3,400
$3,200 $6,800
$8,000 $17,000

Industrial park a ‘field of dreams’
So as an elected city official, I normally should refrain from personal opinion of city related monies being spent. But when I find out through the grapevine (mainly because I abstain from political b.s.) that the city commission have decided to use surge funding given to the city from state excess oilfield tax monies to fund “extra” infrastature upsets me. There is so much existing infracture that needs to be
fixed, aside from current streets and avenues within city limits that currently do not have “curb and gutter, sewer or drainage. Why in the world would any city official decide to throw money at a pipe dream. And that is it. It is just a pipe dream. “Build it and they will come”...simply a Field of Dreams in my opinion. - Drew Henderson, Bowman
We’ve got to step up, speak out on public issues
Is it easy being an elected public official? Absolutely not. Anyone that has held such a position knows that most of the time decisions to spend public dollars feel like they are made in a vacuum. Public meetings are posted for the community so they can attend and voice their opinions or concerns, unfortunately, most meetings are not well attended. There are exceptions to this as was evident in the past couple of weeks. Three meetings were held to discuss the possibility of utilizing the old airport land for an industrial park. Compared to regular county/city meetings, these meetings were well attended. There was dialogue for and against the proposed industrial park and I believe the county and city officials considered the input they received and made the decisions they felt were best for the long-term benefit of the community. Now that the decisions have been made, community members start to voice their disapproval via social media or “coffee-talk.” This type of “armchair quarterbacking” is very frustrating to me. If community members have an opinion on a particular subject that is being considered (i.e. an industrial park), than attend the public meetings and speak up during the meetings. Attending a meeting and not speaking gives the elected officials no clear understanding of what the community may really want. Worse yet, is not attending a meeting and then complaining about what was decided via Facebook or at coffee. A perfect example of why concerned citizens should attend such meetings is all the talk about spending of state surge funds. The funds were made available to the City of Bowman via Senate Bill No. 2103. The legislatures decided not to dictate to the communities on how or when to spend these funds so the bill provides no clear guidance as such. However, when our local representatives took the time to travel to Bismarck
and lobby for these funds, it was made clear to them that the use of such funds should be primarily used for infrastructure projects that would assist in handling impacts created by a surge in economic development (similar to the impacts seen in Watford City, Killdeer, etc.). The City is required to show the State how every penny of these funds are spent so it can be evaluated for future legislative discussions. That being said, if the funds aren’t spent as intended (unofficially in this case) the City runs the risk of receiving fewer or no funds in the future. This was explained in the meetings over the past two weeks, it was also explained that the surge funds were a one-time gift and there is no guarantee of similar funds in the future. Attending these meetings would have provided people with this information and possible helped them understand how decisions are made. Additionally, if community members felt very strong about spending the surge funds in other areas (i.e. upgrading existing infrastructure) and made it clear to the City that they are willing to spend the money this way in light of the risk of possible negative ramifications when asking for future funds, than the Commissioners may have considered such items. The fact that this did not happen, means the Commissioners had to make their best judgement call as to what they feel is best for the future of our community. If elected officials do not receive clear and concise input from a good cross-section of the community as to what they feel is in the best interest of Bowman, than we need to rely on the decisions made by the people that we elected into office. If you don’t like their decisions, then: get informed; attend a meeting; speak up at the meeting or put your name on the ballot. Complaining via social media or at coffee is too late.

But thanks to modern technology, I can watch it early in the morning. And I have lots of friends enjoying the show in Vegas. And last night was really special. Because on another station they were celebrating Frank Sinatra! How can you beat that? I suppose that does kind of age me. But dang it was good watching and listening. A funny thing happened to me this week. I was visiting some friends in a nursing home in Nebraska. It happened to be lunch-

A couple of elderly gentlemen mentioned my hat so I stopped by to visit with them. Now, I’m not real tall. But I suppose if you are chairbound for a few years, a guy over six feet wearing a cowboy hat looks pretty big. One of these old boys asked, “Just how tall are you”? I replied that I was about six-two, but gravity was starting to pull me down a little. The other gentleman replied that he had noticed, “As you get heavier, you also get a little shorter.” Those of you that know me, probably have noticed that I am a bit heavy. Like about sixty or seventy pounds heavy. And I thank you for not mentioning it to me. As these two old boys discussed this phenomenon, one mentioned that he had gone to school with a guy that was six-two and weighed about 220. I just wish I weighed 220. Anyway this guy went on a diet.

With the busy fall hunting seasons I often wish I was able get more important updates worked into my weekly column. From deer to pheasants, ducks and geese – did I forget fall fishing? There’s just such a frantic pace of information and I guess that’s a good thing. Here are a few items that may be important to North Dakota hunters and anglers now and into the future. Fall Mule Deer Numbers Encouraging
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s fall mule deer survey indicated the population continues to recover in the badlands. Biologists counted 2,157 (1,958 in 2014) mule deer in the aerial survey which occurred in October. The buck-todoe ratio of 0.42 (0.50 in 2014) is similar to the long-term average of 0.43 bucks per doe, while the fawn-to-doe ratio of 0.84 (0.95 in 2014) is slightly below the long-term average of 0.90 fawns per doe. “The buck-to-doe ratio remains stable, and we had another year of good fawn production,” Game and Fish big game supervisor Bruce Stillings said. “Overall, the numbers are
ran into this friend. The guy had gone from 220 to 170. And he had grown from six-two to six-eleven! Six foot eleven inches! Had lost fifty pounds and stretched out another nine inches! I was going to call bull**** on that, but I am too kind. Carm sent me a note last night. They were visiting about tagging calves. They have a neighbor nicknamed Coondog. You people in Harding County are aware of this guy. Last spring Coondog was tagging a calf. And the mama cow didn’t take kindly to this. The calf was bellering and mama was bound and determined that Coondog was torturing this calf. She got the best of Coondog and ran him off. Well, Coondog decided he’d go grab a shovel and educate this cow. He’s kind of a cow whisperer. He said he took this long handled shovel out to whack this cow over the head. When he came to, the cow, calf, and shovel were gone. And so was one of his boots! Later, Dean

encouraging.” The fall aerial survey, conducted specifically to study demographics, covers 24 study areas and 306.3 square miles in western North Dakota. Biologists survey the same study areas in the spring of each year to determine population abundance. Fall Salmon Run a Challenge Fisheries crews completed their annual salmon spawning operation on the Missouri River System after collecting roughly 500,000 eggs. Dave Fryda, Missouri River System supervisor, said the 2015 salmon spawn was a challenge, with almost all of the eggs taken from Lake Sakakawea. Only a few

were collected from the Missouri River below Garrison Dam. “Dropping water temperature combined with declining daylight are major cues for salmon to spawn, but water temperatures this year were slow to cool and remained among the warmest we have seen through the entire spawn,” Fryda said. Fryda said the average size of Lake Sakakawea females was 11 pounds, the largest documented since salmon program began. “The average size and condition of females was exceptional, but overall numbers were not what we expected,” he added. “South Dakota and Montana had the same challenges collecting eggs this year.”

Keeping older adults driving safely New research reveals effective ways to extend driving age
Advanced automotive technologies and safe driving habits can help older motorists remain behind the wheel longer into their lives, according to two new studies by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. A record 36 million adults ages 65 and older drive in the United States, and this number is expected to increase substantially over the next decade. Recent AAA research has found that seniors who give up driving are almost two times more likely to experience depression and nearly five times as likely to enter a long-term care facility. “Permanently giving up the keys can have severe consequences for the health and mental wellbeing of older adults,” said Peter Kissinger, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety’s President and CEO. “New technologies and a focus on safe driving can help seniors remain behind the wheel for years to come.” The researchers examined 16 advanced vehicle technologies and determined that six of these
can provide high value for older adults by potentially reducing crashes and improving the ease and comfort of driving: · Forward collision warning / mitigation: These systems can help prevent crashes by warning drivers of a potential collision or by automatically applying the brakes. For older drivers, this technology can improve reaction times and reduce crashes by up to 20 percent. · Automatic crash notification: These systems au-

tomatically alert emergency services in the event of a crash. Older drivers are more likely to suffer from the serious effects of a crash because of their age, which means these systems can provide a greater safety benefit to seniors. · Park assist with rearview display: This technology includes backup cameras and obstacle-de-
tection warning systems, which can help prevent crashes when pulling out of a parking space. About 95 percent of seniors want these systems in their next vehicle, while 55 percent reported that it can help reduce driver stress and workload. · Parking assist with cross-traffic warning: These systems utilize ra-

can improve their safety by avoiding challenging situations, such as driving at night, in bad weather, during rush-hour traffic, in unfamiliar areas or on the highway. In addition, seniors who successfully continue to drive are less likely to engage in potentially distracting behaviors, such as talking on a cell phone, texting, eating, smoking or grooming in the car. Many older drivers also are less likely to speed or frequently change lanes, which can further reduce crash risks. In order to further help seniors chose the right vehicle, AAA has updated its Smart Features for Older Drivers tool to include 2015 makes and models. This resource can help seniors identify vehicles with features that optimize their comfort and safety. AAA provides comprehensive information on senior driving at SeniorDriving. AAA.com.

The holiday season is a time for sharing a meal with family, friends and co-workers. While the giving and receiving of homemade food items is fun, foodborne illness is definitely not fun!
Quick Tips for
Keeping Food Safe
at Holiday Dinners
n Always work with clean hands. n Plan ahead! Make sure the location meets your needs. Does it have adequate storage space in the refrigerator and freezer? Does it have the cooking and hot-holding equipment you need? n Cook food to the recommended safe internal temperature. Don’t leave food in the danger zone (41 to 140 F). n Never partially cook food for finishing later because you increase the risk of bacterial growth. n For best quality and safety, prepare foods close to serving time. n Keep cold foods cold. Keep hot foods hot. n Be sure to discard any food left out at room temperature for more than two hours. For more food safety information contact your county office of the NDSU Extension Service or go to www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/food-safety.

Night Hawks open wrestling season with 2 dual wins By Sheldon Christenson For the Pioneer
The Night Hawks opened their 2015-16 season with victories over the Standing Rock Warriors and the New SalemAlmont Holsteins. In their first match they downed the Warriors 69-12 and were benefitted by seven Warrior forfeits. As is usually the case with the Warriors they were undermanned with only seven wrestlers available. In potentially the most competitive match was Night Hawk Colbey Steeke and the Warrior’s Steven Harrison at the 285 lb. weight class. Steeke finished fifth at the state tourney last season at 220 and Harrison was fourth at 285. Colbey took care of business quick with a first period pin. Colbey was moved up one weight class as he will normally wrestle at 220. The New Salem-Almont ey, match was a little closer as the Nighthawks won that match by a 51-22 count. The Nighthawks only benefitted from three forfeits. The Nighthawks recorded five pins in this match but three of them were under one minute.

GAME AND FISH NEWS ■■ Winter Fishing Regulations
North Dakota anglers are encouraged to refer to the 2014-16 North Dakota Fishing Guide or the State Game and Fish Department’s website for winter fishing regulations. In addition, anglers can visit the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov, for an extensive list of fishing questions and answers. Some winter fishing regulations include: · A maximum of four poles is legal for ice fishing. However, when fishing a water body where both open water and ice occur at the same time,
an angler is allowed a maximum of four poles, of which no more than two poles can be used in open water. · Tip-ups are legal, and each tip-up is considered a single pole. · There is no restriction on the size of the hole in the ice while fishing. When a hole larger than 10 inches in diameter is left in the ice, the area in the immediate vicinity must be marked with a natural object. See regulations for more information. · It is only legal to release fish back into the water immediately after they are caught. Once a
fish is held in a bucket or on a stringer, they can no longer be legally released in any water. · It is illegal to catch fish and transport them in water. · It is illegal to leave fish, including bait, behind on the ice. · Depositing or leaving any litter or other waste material on the ice or shore is illegal. · Any dressed fish to be transported, if frozen, must be packaged individually. Anglers are not allowed to freeze fillets together in one large block. Two fillets count as one fish.

Senate passes act making bison national mammal Sen. John Hoeven announced last week that the United States Senate unanimously passed the National Bison Legacy Act, legislation he introduced with Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) that designates the American bison as the national mammal of the United States. The National Bison Legacy Act recognizes the historical, cultural and economic significance of the bison, which is the largest land mammal in America. Many Native American tribes revere the bison as a sacred and spiritual symbol of their heritage. “The bison, like the bald eagle, has for many years been a symbol of America for its strength, endurance and dignity, reflecting the pioneer spirit of America,” Hoeven said. “It makes sense for this
noble animal to serve as our national mammal. The National Bison Legacy Act recognizes the important cultural and economic role the bison has played in our history, in North Dakota and across our nation.”
More than 40 million bison once roamed across most of North America. But by the late 1800s, fewer than one thousand bison remained. The species is acknowledged as the first American conservation success story,
“Last Call”
TO GET ON THE (MRI) WALL!
having been brought back from the brink of extinc-
tion by a concerted effort of ranchers, conserva-
tionists and politicians to save the species in the early 20th century. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt and the American Bison Society led an effort to save bison from extinction by establishing a captive breeding program at the Bronx Zoo. Within a few years, the program and others like it were successfully establishing bison back into its native habitat. Bison now live in all 50 states in public and private herds, providing recreation opportunities for wildlife viewers in zoos, refuges and parks, and sustaining the multimillion dollar bison ranching and production business.
