County School District schools, and in Scranton. Students involved in school meal programs should contact the schools for the arrangements, which are being made. Bowman County High School has a sign posted saying that the campus will be closed until March 20 as a result of the governor’s executive order. The school is scheduled to reopen March 23. The sign also recommends people to check its website and social media pages for more information or updates.
he Bowman County School Board voted unanimously to support its non-certified workers, students and teachers during the state-decreed emergency closure, no matter how long the campuses in Rhame and Bowman are affected. According to Superintendent Wayne Heckaman, the current emergency Superintendent Wayne should show just how strong Heckaman explains the the staff, school and comBowman County school munity ties are by making response to the closure sure they are not harmed of its campuses during financially. He suggested the school board meeting that even with the school Monday. being shut down Monday, PHOTO/Brad Mosher Tuesday and Wednesday before the school break at the end of the week, the hourly and staff workers should be paid as if they worked those days. Heckaman noted that it was not their fault for the emergency closure and the workers, students and coaches should not have to pay the price. In addition, he pointed out the teachers and staff will be looking for ways to make sure the students do not fall behind academically during the closure and ways to adapt the learning to the situation. The school is also providing student meals for pickup,
s field trips go, Marmarth students didn’t have a long way to go March 12. Instead, the science came to Marmarth and set up shop in the school gymnasium. The students found fun in building and firing off rockets made out of straws and tape, while others built parachutes or drew a series of interlocking
circles to create a geometric design. Those were just a few of the stations the students had to choose from at the “Gateway to Science” field trip. Among the other stations were straw architecture, Keva planks, learning how to build a closed system, candy structures and an air-powered vehicle challenge. For Joe McKeown, who teaches fourth through eight grades at the small Slope County School, it was a chance

for the students to discover fun in science. “Whoa,” he said as students lined up to fire straw rockets at the door he was holding open in the gym. “We take the straws, put tape on the ends and then tape on the fins,” he explained as the straw “rockets” flew around him. The teacher added that it was a way to teach the students a little about aerodynamics and thrust. For some of the students it was a test of accuracy, others
were trying to send the straw rocket out the door. That didn’t mean the students didn’t have mid-air collisions or rockets flying off course. The event was a great experience for the students, according to Slope County Superintendent Jackie Kathrein. “This was a field trip with out leaving the building,” she said. But it was Bismarck-based Gateway to Science which made it possible, Kathrein explained. The van
brought the science activities to the campus for the students, then packed up and headed for a school in New Town for the next day’s activities. The Gateway to Science is based on the Bismarck State College campus. “Because we are a small school, they brought just 10 stations. Wee had volunteers to help run the stations,” the superintendent explained.

Pi Day... Library makes math tasty for national Pi Day Sta Report
The Bowman County Regional Library turned into a foodie haven March 12 when it celebrated “National Pi Day.� PHOTO/Brad Mosher
Pi left the world of mathematics March 12. It appeared in the world of cooking in the middle of the Bowman County Regional Library as a long table displayed more than a dozen homemade pies in front of the library desk at a time. As one disappeared onto smaller plates, another quickly replaced it. There were a wide variety of pies for people to choose from.

All it took was making a free will donation to sample some of the tasty choices. There were lemon meringue, strawberry rhubarb, key lime... along with gluten free pumpkin and strawberry. There were pecan pies, chocolate and even some coconut pies. It started at noon and both the parking outside the library and the room inside soon started to fill up for samples of pie on the library’s “Pi Day.�

I thought it would be nice where we didn’t have to worry about transportation, lunch and all of those things. “This was nice because
they could just bring it to the school,� she added. While McKeown and lower grade teacher Autumn Criswell handled some of the stations, Renee Totten, the school’s para-professional, along with parents and the school’s business manager also helping to man the science stations. “We might be doing this every other year,� the superintendent added.

SCHOOLS Âť FROM PAGE1 with a phone call to notify the school in the morning and later having the bag lunches available for picking up in the roundabout in front of the campus, starting at 11:30 a.m. each day, the superintendent explained. If the closure continues for a second week or longer, the staff may have to adapt, but he told the board Monday that he plans to continue the meals. As to the technology needs of the students, the school district has one advantage, having recently adopted a “One for Oneâ€? plan where each student starting at the fourth grade level is assigned one computer or piece of technology and not sharing it with another student. “We made a commitment to it. Now we are going to put it in motion and really see where we are at,â€? the superintendent told the board. This is a great opportunity for us to see what are the things we are doing a wonderful job at and the things that we can continue to improve on.â€? COVID-19 response According to the superintendent, the state went through rapid changes to its response to the emergency declaration, including an announcement made Sunday, which changed from schools staying open to having them closed for a week.... and maybe longer. He pointed out to the
school board that a lot of information has been posted online and is being kept up to date. “There is really a lot of guidance and information,� he said. “There are a lot of links and guidance, not only a letter to parents, but a Spanish resource as well and workplace guidance. “We were trying to be pro-active with a lot of things, but now, you can see what has happened within a week. Sometimes we were being pro-active, but now we are playing catch up,� he explained. “It is important that you know we are taking guidance from the federal, from the state office and we are looking to our local guidance as well,� he said. He also pointed out that the National Association of School Psychologists and school nurses provided some good talking points to cover the situation for the students and the families among the online information the school has assembled. It is important to go through the information posted on the school website, he added. “You need to know what we are facing. It is important to share the resource that we provided on the website.� Hygiene is important, both at the school and elsewhere, he explained. “Hopefully, we are having the conversation with our family members and

We want to make sure we as a community can collaborate ‌ and make sure we are looking out for the best interests of everybody,â€? he explained.

The Bowman County Pioneer
Pastors Corner: Jesus is my Shepherd PASTOR ED KVAALE Psalm 23 is so well known it is easy to just repeat the familiar words without considering their meaning. Today, I want us to reflect on a beautiful portion of Scripture that we should not overlook; I want to focus on God as shepherd and Jesus, who as God, calls Himself the Good Shepherd in the Gospel of John. Jesus asks us to trust and follow Him as our
shepherd. Jesus can live and dwell within us. Jesus cares dearly for each of us that are part of His fold. Not only that, but He longs for those who are not part of His fold to come home. Because Jesus is our shepherd, we shall not suffer want, for Jesus puts our needs before His own. That is what we remember this Lenten season as we approach Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Because Jesus is my shepherd,
He will lead us. Jesus knows where we’re going and helps us find the right place. A place where we do not need to move around looking for our provision, for in this Psalm we find a place where we do not need to move, for the sheep have what they need: good pasture and water, with no need to be rushed. Because Jesus is my shepherd, I will be safe with Him. Jesus wants to protect us. His rod and staff represent
protection and crowd control. Jesus protects us from evil, but we also need discipline for our own sin and wanderings and Jesus is very willing to provide that. We will not be alone or need to fear evil if we trust in Jesus as our Shepherd, for He will take us home. Because Jesus is my shepherd, we will be restored by Him and shall dwell with Him. Jesus said, “If I go and prepare a place for you; I will come again� [John 14:13].
Is Jesus your shepherd? If He is, let us be reminded today to be confident in our faith and trust in His faithfulness and steadfast love. We can know that wherever we are in life’s pilgrimage, Jesus will lead us safely to the home He has prepared for us. If not, I would ask that you trust that Jesus can and will do for you what He has for me and those of us who are following Him.
Protect yourself from Census Scams April 1, 2020, is Census Day — the due date for Americans to take part in the decennial national headcount. Of course, scammers will use the census as another opportunity to con you out of your personal information and then your money. Census scammers may
try to contact you by phone, email, regular mail or home visit, or direct you to phony websites, seeking personal and financial information. Invitations to respond to the census will be mailed to U.S. households in March. Responses to the census questions may be submitted online

or via mail or telephone. By May, census workers will begin visiting or contacting households that have not yet responded. No genuine census survey or agent can ask for money, or for your Social Security, credit card or bank account numbers. They also won’t threaten jail time if you don’t answer their questions. Any of these is a sure sign that a supposed census taker is phishing for ways to steal your identity, money or possessions.
Be especially watchful for impostors this spring, when the actual Census Bureau will be sending out reminders to fill out your form and following up in person at households that don’t respond. Tips to spot census scams: ï Verify that a census taker who comes to your home is legitimate. They should have a Census Bureau photo ID badge, and a copy of the letter the bureau sent you. ï A supposed census taker threatens you with arrest.

Dakota Datebook ND Slogan? March 16, 2020 — John F. McGrann was completing a weeklong circuit of the state of North Dakota on this day in 1924. Mr. McGrann, as the vice-president and business manager of the newly formed North Dakota Automobile Association, was making his rounds in an attempt to promote his novel idea for increasing tourism to the state. McGrann claimed that the only thing necessary to increase the state’s tourism was a catchy slogan. He was urging “...the businessman, newspaperman, banker, professional, school teacher, and all he [came] in contact with to practice simple courtesy toward the tourist who visits the state” by saying “Hope you like North Dakota.” He viewed the friendliness of the people of North Dakota as the state’s greatest asset for bringing in tourists. Although McGrann’s idea for an official slogan never caught on, and “Hope you like North Dakota” has been forgotten over time, a number of slogans have been used in the state in an effort to encourage tourism. In the 1980’s, North Dakota’s Department of Tourism attempted a more humorous approach to advertising the state. Signs along the eastern end of the state proclaimed, “Welcome to North Dakota, Mountain Removal Project Completed,” while on the western end they read boldly, “Stay in North Dakota: Custer Was Healthy When He Left.”
Where Lutefisk Comes From by Merry Helm March 17, 2020 — The origins of lutefisk go back ages and ages ago to the Vikings. As they sailed to unknown territories to maraud and plunder, they needed food. What Norway had in abundance was cod, so cod it was. They caught thousands of them and hung them on poles to dry in the wind. For the three weeks it took the fish to dry, it didn’t smell so good. Dried cod wasn’t very easy to eat out at sea, so the Vikings had to soak it in water to make it edible. (Why they didn’t just catch fresh fish is something of a mystery – but Norwegian minds are special, and maybe they shouldn’t be questioned about such things.) Anyway, legend has it that some poor sailor accidentally spilled some ashes in a barrel of soaking cod, and it wasn’t discovered until much later. By that time, the ashes had turned to lye – you know, the stuff that burns holes in things. But when the accident was finally discovered, a miracle had taken place. The fish was almost back to its original undried condition... and lutefisk was born. Now... there’s a different version of that story, one that author Francie Berg discovered while writing her book, “Ethnic Heritage in North Dakota.” After some investigating, Berg learned from the Bismarck Sons of Norway that centuries ago there were a lot of Norwegians living in Ireland during the famine. The only available foods were fish and potatoes (this was probably the period of time when all Norwegian food became white). Well, the Irish were getting a bit upset, because the Norwegians kept grabbing up the potatoes to make lefse. Then, the Norskes started going after perfectly good fish, drying them up, and then trying to make them wet again in barrels of water. It was crazy. Why couldn’t they just eat them when they caught them, like normal people? Some Irishmen got together in a pub one night and decided to spoil the smelly barrels of fish by dumping lye into them. But to their chagrin, the Norwegians thought the resulting blubber was delicious and decided to make it their holiday favorite. The Irish didn’t know how to handle people who thought like that, so they decided to call on St. Patrick, who had had some success with some snakes awhile back. St. Patrick was up for it, and he drove the Norskes out of Ireland so the Irish could have their potatoes back, and
there was a great celebration throughout the land. We may never know which of these stories is true, of course. We do know that Norwegians send back to the old country for tons and tons of lutefisk every November and that it arrives in bundles that look a lot like roofing shingles. Then, all over the state, lutefisk suppers break out, and even the Swedes get involved. In towns like Almont, for example, about 800 pounds of reconstituted cod is served every year. But a lot of these supper promoters have wised up and also offer Swedish meatballs for those who are smart enough to avoid the lutefisk. Both sides of the fence agree on one thing, though – the smell of cooking lutefisk, whether it’s boiled or baked, leaves a lot to be desired. Don Freeburg put it well in his poem, Lutefisk Lament: From out in the kitchen, an odor came stealing, that fairly set my senses to reeling. The smell of Lutefisk creeped down the hall, that wilted a plant in a pot on the wall... The scent skipped off the ceiling and bounced off the door, and the bird on the Cuckoo Clock fell on the floor.
The Team that Overworked by Merry Helm March 18, 2020 — Today’s story is about teamwork – in a manner of speaking. Christian Maiers was born to the village shoemaker in Berresana, Russia, in 1862. Christian and his wife, Gottleibina, had their first child, Amelia, in 1886 – the first of their eleven children, but the only one born in Russia. Because of overpopulation and land shortage, Christian and his young family, along with his parents and his brother, moved to the Ellendale area in 1886. Christian had only $20 left when the whole family moved into a 12 by 18 foot sod house he built in Antelope Township. Part of it he spent on lumber for a roof, and the rest he spent on food. At the time, the plains were strewn with bones left from the disastrous buffalo slaughters of the previous decades, and many settlers made extra money by selling these bones to fertilizer companies. Maiers decided he would do the same. Christian used a wagon and a team of two oxen that his father had bought. One of the oxen was slow and lazy, though, and made the days seem longer than they were. Their cow, on the other hand, was very energetic, so when it was time to haul his load of bones to town, Maiers decided to hitch the better of his two oxen together with his cow. In his memoirs, Maiers wrote, “Along with the other settlers, I started for Ellendale. This team of one ox and one cow was just like crazy. They would run nearly all the time, and I had a hard time guiding them in the right direction. Ellendale was 35 miles cross-country from my home. I had gathered some of the bones 35 miles west and north of home, because those close at hand soon disappeared.” Maiers went on to explain that the group didn’t expect to reach Ellendale until the next day, and they would camp out overnight that evening. But his animals seemed to have other plans. “I could not hold my odd team in check,” he wrote, “and I steadily drew away from the rest of the party. When I got into the hilly country about 15 miles from my farm, my odd team... ran the wagon, filled with bones, into a trap of big rocks (and) part of the load spilled... Then the team became stubborn and wouldn’t move... Getting down on the front end of the wagon tongue, I scared the beasts enough so they bounded out over the rocks.” Once more, the team was on the run, with Maiers now stuck out on the wagon’s tongue. Before he knew it, they ran the wagon into a swollen creek, where they all took a much-needed breather. But when Maiers was ready to move on, he found they were stuck. An Englishman named Schimmelmore was working in a nearby field and came over to help Maiers unhitch his
overachieving team. Then the Englishman used three of his horses to pull out the wagon, which was now considerably lighter than when they had started out that morning. “With the animals running once again,” Maiers wrote, “I reached Ellendale that same evening. I sold the bones for $4 a ton – and a ton was about all I had left.” The next morning, he bought supplies and headed back to Ellendale, again at a good clip. When they’d gone about 10 miles, they met up with the friends they’d started out with the previous morning. Maiers wrote, “They couldn’t believe that I had already been to town until I showed them the supplies I purchased.”
Epping-Hillsboro Game by Merry Helm March 19, 2020 — Today marks the anniversary of one of the most memorable basketball games in North Dakota history – it’s often referred to as David vs. Goliath. It took place in the Bismarck Civic Center as the Hillsboro Burros took on the Epping Eagles for the 1977 State Class B Tournament. The Burros had been to State eight times, had won back-to-back championships in ‘73 and ‘74,
and had an enrollment of 210 students. On the other side of the state, tiny Epping High School had a total enrollment of only 23 students, and during the late ‘60s, they suffered 96 straight losses. The Burros were led by legendary coach, Ed Beyer, whose teams had come to expect winning seasons. In fact, during the Region 2 tournament, the Burros had overcome five of the state’s top-10 class B teams, and now they were looking forward to playing teams who didn’t know them. In Epping, Bob and Don Allard, Clyde and Mike Vinger and Jay Bingeman had practiced all summer and knew this could be their year. Their coach, Larry Overbo, thought so, too. During the season, they lost only once – against Beulah – and the season highlight was beating Watford City for the first time in the school’s history; they beat them again in the district tournament and once more in the Region 7 tournament. Now they were going to State to represent a town so small, the streets weren’t even paved. Overbo planned to use his team’s athletic ability for aggressive defense and fast breaking. He said, “The one thing about that team was we passed the ball so well.” The
Eagles’ three front linemen were all over six feet and had averaged 70 points a game during the season. In the Prairie Public documentary, One Shining Moment, Jay Bingeman laughed as he told filmmaker Matt Olien, “We wanted to win that first game so we could stay on TV. It was just wild. The teachers – we’d go to class, and all we talked about was going to Bismarck.” Epping didn’t even have a bus; everybody had to get there in cars. By championship night, the team had taken on Cinderella status, and Hillsboro’s starting five were booed before the game even started. Coach Beyer said, “I think we had better talent, but boy, they were scary... I didn’t think it was going to be quite that bad... we were going to be the Lone Rangers on that one.” The Eagles had the jitters and couldn’t make their shots, and by the end of the first quarter, the Burros led 16 to 5. Then, during second quarter,
the Eagles settled down and started chipping away at Hillsboro’s lead. With Epping having to fight so aggressively, Clyde Vinger fouled out by third quarter. He usually averaged 20 points a game – now he was out after only two. Then Mike Vinger fouled out, too. Led by Bob Allard, Epping fought back, and by the end of the third quarter, Hillsboro led by only five points. During a jump ball in 4th quarter, Bob Allard gave Don Allard a look, and Don knew what to do. Heading toward the basket, Don caught the ball on the run and made a basket. In a call that’s controversial to this day, referee Henry Milkey called Don for dribbling, and the shot didn’t count. It was a blow the Eagles couldn’t overcome; they lost 52 to 56. Despite their loss, the Epping players were treated like heroes. In fact, many people still mistakenly say they remember that game... the one where Epping won State.

Sports Hazen holds off Bulldogs for third BY BRAD MOSHER Senior Cam Wokal’s threepoint basket with 50 seconds left in Thursday battle for third place in the Region 7 tournament cut Hazen’s lead to just six points. But the final points of his career were also his team’s final points of the season as the Bison held on to a 77-68 victory.
The Bison and Bulldogs battled back and forth for most of the game, with Hazen holding the scoring advantage at the first quarter buzzer (24-22) and halftime (37-36), but it was in the third quarter the Bison broke the game open. Or so Hazen may have thought. The Bulldogs kept coming back after Hazen.
In the third quarter, the Bison had a 24-17 edge in scoring, but both teams hit a pair of three-pointers in the final minute of the quarter. Hazen had a 61-53 edge going into the fourth quarter. A pair of free throws made it a 10-point lead seconds into the final quarter, but Caleb Duffield battled inside to make a second shot count and cut the lead
again. That would be the last Bulldog score for almost three minutes as the Bison built a 68-55 lead before Jacob Svihovec would score with just over four minutes left in the game. Another Duffield score would cut the lead to 11 points (70-59) with just under four minutes on the clock. After Hazen’s Garrett Ward
Coach Nick Walker talks to his players in the final minute of the third place game March 12 in Dickinson. PHOTO/Brad Mosher
sank two free throws, it was Duffield again cutting the lead, this time to 11 points (72-61). Jaxson Fischer and Duffield hit baskets to cut the lead even further 72-65 with two minutes left. After Austin Richter gave Hazen a 74-65 lead with 1:32 left, Dawson Bruner missed the front end of a one-and-one at the free throw line. That set up Wokal for his three-pointer with 50 seconds on the clock. Ahead 74-68, Isaac Doll hit a pair of free throws with 42 seconds left, then Tyson Van Inwgen added another free throw with 27 seconds left to close out the scoring. Seniors Doll and Ward led the Bison scoring stampede with 26 and 24, respectively.
