Chamber planning bold new signage in downtown Bowman By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor The Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce continued its commitment to rejuvenation of the area last week as it moved forward on its plan to add bold new signage in downtown Bowman. Construction crews were seen working the morning of Nov. 4 in front of the chamber’s building at the corner of Divide Avenue and Main Street in Bowman. Workers tore down the relatively new Wells Fargo sign that hung above the street corner in preparation for a new, large and bold sign to promote the chamber’s location. Customers of Wells Fargo unfamiliar with the area often found it inconvenient when they would walk into the chamber office, thinking it was the bank, according to Cathy Hedge, executive secretary for the chamber. The cause for that was the misleading signage placement. Wells Fargo’s office is adjoined to the east side of the chamber building, but its signs previously extended across the entire scape of the building and wrapped around to face Main Street. It resulted in confusion for some. The existing sign that highlights the location of the chamber and Bowman County Development Corp.’s entrance on Divide Avenue is a small, ambiguous square sign hanging above the chamber’s only entrance. The plan is to scroll the address for the chamber’s website—www.Bowmannd.com—around

Doerr said the chamber is also working on a sign to place on the building’s chimney. In addition to the new signs planned for downtown, new Bowman signs were placed at the four entrances and exits to the city of Bowman along Highways 85 an 12. “The signage is part of a workforce campaign we are doing to push people to our website,” Doerr said. “The new signs are a great way to welcome visitors to our community.” Doerr said the BCDC also hopes to do a billboard sign on the highways.

Residents rejoice as city fixes sewer problem By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor Bowman residents heaved a hefty sigh of relief last week. After about four weeks of piling laundry, dirty dishes and intermittent toilet flushing, residents within the city’s restricted sewer use zone, or “red zone,” were given the all clear shortly after 5 p.m. on Dec. 5. Crews completed work on the broken sewer pipeline in Bowman City Park after a long process that put strain on the city and its water and sewer department. Residents occupying homes and businesses in an area spanning from Highway 85 and west to 8th Avenue in Bowman, about 25 city blocks, were asked beginning the week of Nov. 10 to restrict the amount of wastewater they disposed of down drains. Bowman City Commission President Lyn James said at the start of the project that its scope was beyond the means of the city’s department and required the city to bring in a special crew. It was a menagerie of circumstances that prolonged

While the sewer pipe in Bowman was fixed last week, its effects are still seen inside Bowman City Park this week. [Photo by Bryce Martin | Pioneer] the repair of the sewer pipe, including soft earth, excessive groundwater and a gas main and power pole standing near the pipe’s location. All of those situations had to be remedied before crews could even attempt to repair the broken pipe. Several ideas floated around between the department, Brosz Engineering of Bowman and JK Excavating of Dickinson, which dug the original hole to lay the pipe, since the pipe’s break. Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU) was contacted by the city and asked to relocate a gas

main and power line pole situated near the pipe so it would be easier to remove the vast overburden, or earth covering the pipe. That occurred early last week, as scheduled and then crews completed a process known as dewatering so they could access the pipe. Dewatering is the removal of water from solid material or soil by wet classification, centrifugation, filtration or similar solid-liquid separation processes. James said the total cost of the project would be received next week.

Winter weather ‘heats up,’ at least for now By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor Good news for those dreading the subzero temperatures and snow: a brief yet big winter warm-up is in the forecast. Bad news: It won’t stay for long. According to the National Weather Service in Bismarck, this week will bring abnormally warm temperatures to the region, beginning Wednesday. The high on Wednesday was to be in the upper 40s, according to forecasters. Thursdays’s high could reach into the low 50s. That trend would continue into Sunday, which was scheduled to signal a lull in the warm weather and offered a chance for rain and snow. Heading into next week, winter weather would resume, with highs hovering around the freezing mark. According to the official

Sunday to bring end to 50-degree temperatures Farmer’s Almanac, the 20142015 winter months will be colder and slightly drier than normal in the north portion of the state and milder than normal with near-normal precipitation in the south. The coldest periods, according to the almanac, will be in late December, early to mid-January, mid- to late February and early March. Snowfall will be below normal in the east and near normal in the west, with the periods seeing most snow in mid- to late December, midJanuary and early and mid- to late March. Don’t forget, winter doesn’t officially start until Dec. 21.

►CARTOON OF THE WEEK

N.D. Outdoors Most years there’s no shortage of attention grabbers in late fall, with deer season coming and going and the wrap-up of fall sports and harvest and the early stages of the holidays. Such concentration of activity sometimes prevents us from keeping up with an array of hunting and fishing information, and the good news is overshadowed by the not so good. The early start to winter right after opening weekend of deer season was kind of a not-so-good news event. North Dakota resident wildlife could use a mild winter again, and the early cold spell was not a good start. However, things have moderated recently, so that’s good news. Some other good news from the fall relates to survey numbers for mule deer, and

a successful salmon spawning effort that should mean good salmon fishing in years to come. Mule deer The fall aerial survey for mule deer is conducted specifically to study demographics such as estimated reproduction for the year and the ratio of bucks to does. The aerial survey covers 24 study areas and 306 square miles in western North Dakota, and biologists compare survey results from the same areas year to year to determine annual changes and long-term trends. Biologists counted 1,969 mule deer in the survey this past October, up from 1,761 in 2013. The buck-todoe ratio of 0.50 (0.46 in 2013) was slightly above the long-term average, while the fawn-to-doe ratio of 0.95 (0.74 in 2013) was the high-

By DOUG LEIER est since 1999, and above the long-term average of 0.90 fawns per doe. “Overall, this year’s fawn production is very encouraging, and with average-togood survival should result in another increase in the spring,” said Bruce Stillings, North Dakota Game and Fish Department big game management supervisor, Dickinson. Salmon Anglers across North Dakota have experienced firsthand the excellent water and habitat conditions for pike, walleye, perch and other assorted game fish. Beyond the usual targetsn there is good news from North Dakota’s niche salmon fishery, as fisheries crews in their annual salmon spawning operation on the Missouri River System collected approximately 1.3 million eggs.

Hat Tips

By DEAN MEYER Hello, I think most of us have heard that Paul Harvey audio column “So God Made A Farmer”. I think it is best deal about farmers that was ever done. I wish Mr. Harvey had made a column about rancher’s wives. What got me thinking about this is Shirley’s birthday. She turns 29 again this week. Now it is hard to shop for the woman who has everything. Her coveralls are in pretty

good shape. A friend gave her a new pair of wool-lined mittens a week ago. She bought herself a set of those deals you slip on your boots so you don’t slip on the ice when carrying buckets. So you can see why I am struggling. So this morning I asked her what she would like for her birthday. She usually says she doesn’t need anything. But I’m not sure if she means it. This morning she said she would like a couple of those portable 24-foot windbreaks to put out with her mares! I mean that is a ranchers wife! I think it must run in her family. I remember a few years ago, when out with relatives, the talk turned to what women like. We have a lot of intelligent conversations with relatives. One of her sisters said, and I quote, “You want to turn me on, bring second cutting alfalfa!” Now that’s a cowgirl. But I tell you what,

This & That

By JOSEPHINE KACZMARKEK Grace Janikowski and Deanna Heinrich came to visit Ada Heinrich. Saturday was the Southwest Healthcare Bazaar. It drew quite a crowd. A couple of the gals were busy making lefse. Most everybody had a roll and coffee when they first came. They also had quite a variety of rolls, cookies, candy, and a variety of different things including jelly and different plates of Norwegian things. I won’t even try to mention the names of those. Pam also came to go to it. She bought me some rosettes, peanut brittle, and also lefse. The lefse was very good. Some people came and wanted to buy some, but it was all gone. Stanley Palczewski was up and too bad that he was too late. Marlene came in Thursday and ate dinner with me. We

played several games of cards. She won all of them and later in the afternoon Clem and Maggie Schaaf came so the four of us played whist. Maggie and I won one with Clem and Marlene winning the other two games. On Tuesday Pam came up and spent the afternoon. Pam and I played whist against Bud and Willie. We beat them too. Wednesday after Mass Vicki Ridl, Louise Hilton, and Agnes Kitzan stopped to visit me. Also Lynette from Hettinger stopped in. She had come to get her driver’s license renewed. One day Edna Paulson and Evie Allram stopped in. They visited several residents. Delberta and Russell Kulseth visit Betty Peterson often. Russell also stops down to chat with Bud Lewison. Bud’s nephew Dave and Kay Anderson come to see him several times during the week. Pastor Charles Swanson visited many of the residents on Friday. The weather has warmed up quite a bit. It has been in the 30’s and even some days in the 40’s. The weather man said that December is going to be a lot warmer than November. Saturday afternoon we had residents’ bingo. That’s when some of the residents

we’ve been putting up second cutting every year since. Ranch wives are a different breed. I don’t suppose there is a ranch wife who hasn’t had an anniversary date, or a vacation delayed, because a heifer was just ready to calf. I imagine everyone has gone through times when they were preparing Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner for all the relatives and the sewer backed up. Or the well quit pumping water. Or the propane tank went empty and the turkey was just ready to put in the oven. I’m not a real planner. Some people will set a date for branding several days or weeks in advance. More than once I’ve told Shirley, “Let’s brand tomorrow.” Or maybe even that afternoon. I can come in with fifteen or twenty people for a roundup dinner with little or no notice and she is happy to see them and you would swear she had been

planning the meal for a week. But, back to the birthday. I’m trying to remember if it was our first anniversary, or her first birthday after we were married. I gave her Charlie. Charlie was a two-year old King bred gelding I had raised. He was a good-looking sorrel gelding that should have been tough as nails and full of cow sense. Oh, but Shirley would look good on this sorrel colt. Shirley wept with joy at how thoughtful I was. At least I think they were tears of joy. I halter broke Charlie and spent a couple days gentling him down. I put him in the bronc stall in the barn and saddled him. When he backed out of that stall, all hell broke loose! He squealed and blew up in the barn. The barn had about an eight-foot ceiling and the saddle horn was poking holes in it! I quickly got the barn door open and let him outside.

He was kicking over his head every jump and the stirrups were clicking together over his back. When he stopped to get his wind, I caught him and pulled the saddle off. I went up to the house and told Shirley she had one of the best bucking horses in the country. And she did! Charlie went on to be North Dakota Bucking Horse of the Year a couple times. Now, I’ve got to get this thing figured out today. Tomorrow is the birthday. And I just read this morning that although most women say they don’t want flowers, they really do. So I am wondering if, since I have to go check the sunflowers and see if they are dry enough to combine, if they would suffice? What the heck? It’s worth a try. Later, Dean And Happy Birthday Shirley!

set it up and take care of it. Morris Wanek set it up and I called. Morris kept track of all the rest. Julie Henderson distributed the candy afterwards. Quite a few residents attended. Bus Patterson comes over from Sunny Apartments to visit his daughter Janet quite often. We extend our sympathy to the family and friends of Dudley Skiff who passed away.

I was watching TV today and I don’t remember what station I had, but there was some “big wig” talking and he said that the gas price would be less than $2 by July 4th so “I guess that remains to be seen.” Sunday was the Community Chorus Concert at the Lutheran Church. Hazel Wanek, Joann White, Doris Fischer, Eunice Ruggles and Alda Berg attended the concert with Morris, Vicky, and Debbie. It’s

very good. I went several years ago, but not this time. Pastor Steph came to see Morris and Hazel. Jim, Nadine, Morris and Hazel Wanek attended the grade Christmas program in Scranton Thursday evening. Their granddaughter Emily was in the program. Today is Sunday, December 7th and it is raining. Now some cold weather and we can go skating.

grants

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp announced that new federal grants will be available for eligible for firefighters and first responders to help them update their equipment and improve firefighter and community safety. These funds will enable fire houses in North Dakota to receive support their operations, which are particularly important for the 96 percent of first responders in North Dakota who are volunteers. “Our first responders in North Dakota are often the first on the scene in life-ordeath situations, putting their lives on the line every day for their communities – and they do it voluntarily,� said Heitkamp. “Their invaluable service and their sacrifice is something we cannot take lightly – and as the daughter of a volunteer firefighter in growing up in Mantador, I know I never will. That’s why I’ve made getting first responders the tools they need to prepare, succeed and survive their missions a top priority.

OBITUARIES Joseph Kromarek Joseph “Joe” Vincent Kromarek, 72 of Hulett, Wyo., died Friday, Dec. 5, 2014 in Rochester, Minn. Funeral services will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014 at the Great Hulett Community Center in Hulett. Burial will take place at Black Hills National Cemetery near Sturgis, S.D. Kromarek was born Jan. 28, 1942 at his grandparent’s house to Ludvik and Elizabeth Kromarek in Bowman, N.D. He was raised in Scranton, N.D., and attended school until the 8th grade and also worked on the family farm. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. in 1959 and was honorably discharged in 1966. He married Viola Anne Peterson on July 14, 1961 in Las Vegas. Viola passed away in 1992. Joe made his home in Bowman, where he worked for

the Milwaukee Railroad, as a mechanic at a gas station and later started his own radiator repair shop. Joe moved to Hulett in 1999 and began working at Devil’s Tower Forest Products, where he continued to work until his passing. Joe loved to ride motorcycles and buy new vehicles. He enjoyed the time he spent with grandchildren, taking long drives with whomever he could talk in to joining him. He loved to shoot the breeze and always had a story to tell. Joe always wanted to show off his new toys from cars to lawnmowers. He touched many lives and will be missed by all. Joe is survived by two sons, Jim (Laura) Kromarek of Colbren, Colo., and Paul Kromarek of Hulett, one daughter, Cheryl Angel of Sundance, Wyo., two sisters, Ciele Buckmier of Hettinger, N.D., and Sharon Paulson of Scranton, two brothers, Steve

Community foundation created for Bowman, Slope counties By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor Bowman and Slope counties recently established another way to support its communities through the creation of an endowment fund setup for charitable giving. “A Community Foundation has been a part of our county’s Strategic Plan for years,” said Teran Doerr, executive director of the Bowman County Development Corp. “It gives us an opportunity to provide a more permanent way to support the organizations in our communities.” Any person or group can donate funds into the newly created Bowman-Slope Community Foundation, which is considered a qualified North Dakota endowment fund. Gifts to the fund over $5,000 should qualify for the 40 percent state

income tax credit. Earnings from the fund could be given as grants to support projects and programs in the area, but the principal generally remains intact, continuing to provide income for many years. Fifty-six communities of various sizes around the state already have established community endowment funds through the North Dakota Community Foundation. Bow-

man and Slope counties join the likes of Pembina, Larimore, Casselton, Anamoose, Minot, Killdeer, Mott, Bismarck and Ellendale. Some of the community endowment funds give out over $10,000 in grants to local organizations every year to a variety of projects and programs in their area. “We are hoping the fund will grow over time,” said Ron Palczewski, president of Dakota

Western Bank in Bowman. “We want others to know that this fund has been set up and that it is a great way to provide support to charitable organizations in Bowman and Slope Counties forever.” An advisory committee made up of local residents would determine grant awards and help raise funds, including initial advisory committee members Palczewski, Doerr, Ila Kelner, Les Snavely, Jeanine Clen-

denen, Kasey Burke, Carla Teske, Amy Fischer and Scott Hardy. “This fund can make a real difference in our communities,” Doerr said. “It is truly an investment in our future.” Those interested in contributing to the fund can donate online at www.NDCF.net by clicking “Donate Now” and selecting “Bowman-Slope Community Foundation” from the listing of funds.

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Celebrating community during the holidays

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

The Mound Church was filled for its annual Christmas program Dec. 7. This year, Pastor Terry Bagley invited members of the congregation to share any thoughts they had about Christmas. He then gave a sermon that linked Old Testament prophesy to the birth of Christ and the reason for Christ’s birth. Senior member Howard Merz shared some memories of the now 102 year old church and then handed out cards to recognize the contributions of various members to the church. Finally, the group sang “Happy Birthday” to celebrate Caroline Germann’s landmark birthday. The Mound Church is a Presbyterian Church located in the country a short distance north of Rhame.

The holiday season is in full swing in Bowman County. With the unofficial start of the season signaled by the hanging of Christmas wreaths and lights along Main Street, residents and businesses of Bowman since appeared to be in the festive spirit. A string of holiday themed events soon began, including the Southwest Healthcare Services Auxiliary Annual Bazaar, the Santa Stroll in downtown Bowman, Santa Claus Day in Marmarth, the Annual Christmas party for the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce and more. Community shines the brightest during the holiday season and Bowman County shows it.

An award was also presented to Southwest Healthcare Services as the hosts of the year’s best event, the annual Celebrity Waiter Dinner and Auction.

GAME AND FISH NEWS ■■ Winter Anglers Reminded to Clean Up Ice The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds winter anglers to clean up the ice after fishing. This not only applies to trash, but fish as well. It is not only unsightly, but it is illegal to leave fish behind on the ice. According to the fishing proclamation, when a fish is caught anglers must either immediately release the fish back into the water unharmed, or reduce them to their daily possession. It is common practice for some anglers to fillet fish on the ice, but if they don’t clean up after themselves, it’s a

problem. “When fish entrails and other parts are left on the ice, it’s an absolute eyesore,” said Greg Power, fisheries chief. “Anglers need to take those fish parts with them when they leave and properly dispose of them at home.” Power said the pack it in, pack it out mentality applies to all trash, including aluminum cans and Styrofoam containers. “When you throw those kinds of things into a snow bank, they are out of sight and out of mind temporarily, but everything comes to life in spring and becomes highly visible when the snow melts,” Power said.

■■ Fish House Regulations Winter anglers are reminded that any fish house left unoccupied on North Dakota waters must be made out of materials that will allow it to float. A popular question this time of year is if campers qualify as legal fish houses. The answer is the same for any structure taken on the ice – if it’s left unattended, it must be able to float; if it’s not able to float, it must be removed when the angler leaves the ice. Other fish house regulations include: Fish houses do not require a license. Occupied structures do not require

identification. However, any unoccupied fish house must have the owner’s name, and either address or telephone number, displayed on its outside in readily distinguishable characters at least three inches high. Fish houses may not be placed closer than 50 feet in any direction to another house without consent of the occupant of the other fish house. Fish houses shall be removed from all waters by midnight, March 15, of each year. They can be used after March 15 if they are removed daily. Anglers should refer to the 2014-16 North Dakota Fishing Guide for winter fishing regulations.
