Relay for Life strides back to Bowman

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Planning is underway for this year's Relay for Life as it heads back to Bowman for the first time in several years.

Relay for Life is a 12hour walk/run to advo-

cate for cancer research and raise funds. It was established by the American Cancer Society and has subsequently been held across the nation each year, with southwest North Dakota's relay being held in Hettinger most recently.

It is scheduled to be held in Bowman on June

WHEN: 6 p.m. Friday, June 26 to 6 a.m. June 27 WHERE: Walking path by the north side's baseball diamonds CONTACT: Sue Abrahamson at (701) 440-8344 to sign-up or become a sponsor 26.

A committee of six peo-

ple within the community has been working to set up plans for the event, which is not a small undertaking.

Sue Abrahamson of Bowman is one of those committee members and exudes a passion for bringing the event back to the community.

Abrahamson is a can-

cer survivor, diagnosed in 2013.

“I’m in this 100 percent for the simple reason (that) my mom, my dad, my mother-in-law, my husband and myself have all been affected by cancer,” Abrahamson said.

“It’s important to me.”

Kent Anderson, organizer with Relay for Life

North Dakota, said the first year Bowman hosted the event was “crazy successful.” Bowman’s organization of the relay also won several awards in previous years.

The Bowman community is very supportive, according to Abrahamson,

Store holds grand opening, sees big turnout

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Shopko opened its doors to the public March 22 during its “soft” opening and made it official during its grand opening on Friday.

So far, the community seems to appreciate the new retailer, according to its store manager and several satisfied customers.

Scott Sola, Shopko store manager and former manager of ALCO in Bowman, said that the soft opening went very well. Sola said he’s heard many positive comments, including how patrons like the brighter, cleaner store layout and the expanded

range of merchandise.

The new business then hosted a special grand opening March 27 and invited the community to celebrate as the Green Bay, Wisc.-based company begins a new chapter with Bowman.

“I think it’s really beautiful,” said Cecilia Dworshak of Bowman as she walked out of the store on Friday. Dworshak, carrying bags of merchandise she purchased, said she plans to shop a lot at the new location.

Fellow happy shopper Agnes Kitzan agreed. Kitzan said her experience at Shopko was wonderful, so much so that she has already been to the store three times since its soft opening on Sunday.

“I’ll probably be back tomorrow and the next day, too,” Kitzan, of Bowman, said. “I can get everything I need here. I don’t have to run to Walmart in Dickinson all the time.”

The grand opening for Shopko was eagerly anticipated, which was made obvious by the long line of people standing outside the store’s doors in the early spring cold morning weather.

Tracy Lecoe, principal of Roosevelt Elementary in Bowman, graciously accepted a $2,500 check from the Shopko Foundation at the grand opening ceremony, held shortly before 9 a.m. in front of the store. Af-

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A new restaurant to open soon on Bowman’s Main Street will bring an upscale taste of cultural fusion that’s never before been experienced in the area.

The Hibachi House put up its royal red sign last week, in the building of the former China 88 restaurant, and piqued the interest of the community. On Tuesday, they added a “now hiring” sign to their front window.

Walking through the front door, which was left open to help air out the establishment while it’s being thoroughly renovated, gave a glimpse of the trendy décor. A striking display of bamboo stalks running in between panes of glass greet the customers, as does the building’s new clean, brick façade. Inside, rich colors of reds and blacks filled the space, which was cleared of its previously fading, old dining tables and seating and haphazard décor.

stands a lavish bar that changes to all the colors of the rainbow, located almost in the center of the restaurant. Seating divided into sections fills the front space and there is a large, more private dining area cut out at the back of the restaurant.

Ricky Zheng stood behind the bar, amidst a sea of construction.

“Hibachi food is kind of popular in north Dakota so far,” Zheng said.

Zheng said he is onlocation at the new Bowman restaurant, assisting with the renovation and ensuring it is ready for the slated opening in two weeks. The restaurant’s owner, Nian Chou, lives in Minot, which is also where Zheng is from.

Zheng explained simply that the Hibachi House will offer a melding of Japanese and Chinese cuisine in a hibachi format.

While it won’t be the same as other hibachistyle restaurants peeking up all around North Dakota — where patrons traditionally are seated before a hot grill and a chef chops together their food

Cramer asks USDA, 'Where's the beef?'

Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., joined 70 of his House colleagues in a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure the final Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) are based on sound nutritional science and comply to the DGA charter passed by Congress. One of the highlights of the proposed recommendations is the classification of lean red meat as not part of a healthy diet.

“I am asking the same question thousands of school kids in North Dakota and across America will be asking: ‘Where’s the Beef? Sacrificing sound science and denying the nutritional benefits of lean red meat to satisfy an extreme environmental agenda is woefully misguided,” Cramer said.

The letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell comes in response to the 2015 Dietary Guideline’s Advisory Committee’s (DGAC) report which exceeds the scope of its charge by straying from purely nutritional evidence and venturing into areas like environmental sustainability and tax policy.

THIS WEEKEND

■ ABATE Easter Egg hunt

American Bikers for Awareness, Training, and Education (ABATE) will sponsor its 12th annual Easter egg hunt at 11 a.m. April 4 at the Butte View Campground in Bowman. The weather forecast by the National Weather Service in Bismarck is calling for mostly sunny conditions with a high of 58 degrees.

Over 7,200 plastic Easter eggs were filled last month and ready for the large crowds of children, ages one to 10, to pick them. Once the search is complete, children will be picked for special prizes.

■ Fling Thing

The second annual Fling Thing will be held beginning at 10 a.m., to 3 p.m., April 4.

“Many people (last year) went out and attended the Easter Egg Hunt and then stopped at the fair grounds to check out the vendors,” said Cathy Hedge, who is in charge of organizing the event.

About a dozen vendors will be featured inside the Four Seasons Pavillion’s west wing this year, selling products ranging from jewelry, hair, nail and skin care, home décor, and much more. Krugers Kitchen will also be serving lunch. “(We’re) hoping to grow more every year,” Hedge said.

ter Sola cut the ceremonial ribbon to officially open the store, Shopko handed its first 100 customers a $10 gift card and a chance to enter a drawing for $1,000.

“We’re very excited to … have another store that can serve all of our area,” said Emily Bostyan, president of the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce.

“I think it’s going to be very busy for our area.

It was popular when it was ALCO; it will be popular as Shopko.”

The soft opening on March 22 provided patrons an opportunity to experience what Shopko has

to offer and lent an extra bit of hands-on training for the employees.

“We had a feeling it was going to be a busy day,” Sola told the Pioneer. “I think we were a little busier than I thought we were going to be.”

Vehicles filled the Shopko parking lot, beginning at noon Sunday. That happened again on Friday. People began lining up outside of its front entrance, eagerly waiting to step inside.

Sola said the store’s inventory isn’t complete, due to shipping issues and delays, so patrons will see added selections over the next few weeks. Though, he said for the most part the departments are set in their present locations.

especially considering Bowman County was affected by cancer on a particularly large-scale last year.

Right now, finding teams for the event is the top priority.

Abrahamson said teams should sign up before the end of April. That provides adequate time for any teams wishing to hold their own special events leading up to the relay.

The goal of the event is to raise $45,000 for Bowman County and Abrahamson said they are hoping to surpass that.

“We have a few things that we’re working on to make it a fun event,” she said.

Abrahamson’s own team of 15 people, half of which are survivors and the other half friends of the survivors, named it-

self Princess and the Divas. Sage Ouradnik, a local girl battling cancer, is “the princess.”

Abrahamson said her team is planning some special things to commemorate the event, things that the whole community can participate in.

The relay will be held on the walking path at the north side of Bowman near James Field. At least one member of each team is required to be walking or running during the 12hour event, which begins at 6 p.m. June 26 and ends the following morning at 6 a.m.

To help raise funds, each team member is expected to raise $100.

Following the relay at dark, survivors and the loved ones who gathered to support them can ignite a luminary as a glowing tribute for those affected by cancer.

support group for survivors and their caregivers, according to the American Cancer Society, which established the event. It is hosted annually throughout 5,200 communities across the country.

“Whether you’re a survivor or caregiver, getting involved in your local Relay for Life event can introduce you to others who are facing the same challenges, and provide opportunities for learning, sharing, and friendship,” read an encouraging scribe on the Relay for Life website.

The money raised by Relay for Life goes to find a cure, local services, education, patient services and advocacy. The funds raised aren’t solely for research, as Abrahamson pointed out.

Since it was founded, Relay for Life has helped to fund 48 Nobel Prize winners and startup researchers. One such researcher recently funded

by Relay for Life is in North Dakota. “[Research] has to be done somewhere,” Anderson said.

Putting on the relay is a big operation, considering the amount of work and volunteer hours locally that goes into setting up for such a large event.

“It’s a lot of work to put on one of these events,” Anderson said. “I think it’s well worth it. It builds the community up, it honors those who are fighting the battle and lets those who are fighting know we are with them and we stand with them and we support them.”

To sign up a team for the relay or to help sponsor the event, contact Sue Abrahamson at (701) 440-8344 and leave a message. Or, for more information on how you can become involved, contact Kent Anderson at (701) 250-1022 or email at kent. anderson@cancer.org.

Prom night has become quite a big deal. Some students put undue pressure on themselves by trying to make prom into the perfect occasion. This can prove stressful. But there are ways to

make the best of this noteworthy night without succumbing to stress.

DO attend prom with someone you enjoy being around. Don't pick a companion simply to have a pretty face accompany you for the evening.

DON'T set your prom night expectations too high. Prom night is a momentous occasion, but it's important to keep in mind that it's meant to be a fun night with friends.

DO stick to a budget so you do not overspend on prom night.

It can be easy to overspend on prom.

DON'T forget to take plenty of photos and videos to capture the spirit of prom.

Bowman County High School's prom, held March 28, went off without a hitch despite the high wind gusts that began to wreak havoc on some of the girls' dresses and hairdos. But the winds calmed and the night persisted.

Musings from Main Street By Bryce Martin Pioneer Editor

PTSD can be seen in our community A friend of mine was recently telling me about his PTSD from his service in the military overseas and that reminded me of a column I had written long before I stepped foot into the Pioneer. I did some research into exactly what PTSD meant and it really opened my eyes to other people’s suffering.

Since its medical origin in the 1980s, previously referred to by other names, including shellshock syndrome, post traumatic stress disorder, commonly abbreviated PTSD, has been deemed responsible for the destruction of lives of many who served in the Armed Services.

Many of those who witness their loved one's suffering following military service are certain of one thing: they are in need of help.

While discussion of PTSD continues to be held on the national forefront, those who suffer from it, or know somebody who does, are left helpless.

I received an email from a woman – a mother – before I wrote the column years ago who described the terrible situation she is seeing with her son, a recently discharged U.S. Marine. In her email, which was truly unsettling, the woman wrote: " ... It was obvious to all his family members he was different. After a short time home, he began to have terrible dreams, jerking while sleeping, and a loss of at least 50 pounds; he began pacing back and forth constantly ... " Jessica Hamblen, Deputy Director for Education at the National Center for PTSD, explained PTSD as a failure to adapt – people with PTSD continue to experience extreme reactions, even when there’s no threat present.

Continuing her email, the woman said her son (the Marine) began to drink excessively and rage was becoming a part of his everyday life, causing him to call off work.

But no one seemed to notice anything wrong.

After experiencing a death in his family, the Marine's drinking and rage escalated. One of the Marine's superiors was contacted, spoke with him, and suggested counseling.

"That was it!" the woman wrote in her email – her son was then left to his own devices.

During the holiday season, the woman said she began receiving phone

calls of cries and screaming, spending most of the Christmas holiday on the phone with her son's wife.

The Marine decided to leave the house, to escape from the arguing, but was involved in a serious car collision. He was intoxicated at that time, blowing well over the state's legal limit.

Ultimately, the woman, and her family, was forced to commit her son into a mental rehabilitation center downstate.

She concluded her email: "I am desperate to bring light into the world that this is a real thing. I would also like to research why it is that the Marines do nothing to prepare their soldiers and their families. Why they let him leave with so many obvious signs?"

Many of the symptoms the woman described in her email are spot-on with a medical diagnosis of PTSD — Numbing symptoms are prevalent in victims of PTSD, according to the American Medical Association. Such symptoms prevent the person with PTSD from having intrusive thoughts about what they experienced, but, as Hamblen pointed out, they’re more psychological strategies than behavioral avoidance symptoms.

People with PTSD find they also have reduced interest in activities that they used to enjoy. This is not about lack of opportunity – it’s really about a lack of interest, they just don’t feel like it anymore.

Other frequent symptoms include feeling detached from other people and experiencing a restricted range of affect.

People with PTSD often feel that they are not emotionally close to anybody or attached to people, they say that people can’t understand them and they feel emotionally numb.

The best information on prevalence of trauma and PTSD comes from a study called the National Comorbidity Survey, conducted in 1995. It was a large representative sample of over 5,000 U.S. adults.

If you consider the survey, it is determined that the lifetime prevalence of PTSD among male combat veterans is very high.

It was about 39 percent, which is significantly higher than the 3.6 percent lifetime prevalence for PTSD in the general population for men.

The unfortunate truths with combat-related PTSD are that it has higher lifetime prevalence, greater likelihood of a delayed onset, and a greater likelihood of not being amenable to treatment.

To bring greater awareness to this life-changing disorder, it is important to recognize that PTSD is not limited to a specific area, gender, race, or orientation, and no singular person can, or should, deal with it on their own.

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Hello, About a month ago, Shirley and I took a well deserved vacation. Well, Shirley took a welldeserved vacation. I just took a vacation. We flew to Ft. Myers, Florida, rented a car, and spent a few days driving around Southwest Florida where we have friends living.

Now, according to our friends, the only people that buy retirement homes in Arizona are those that have never been to Florida! I don’t want to start a fight here.

I’m just repeating what my Floridian friend told me. He said the basic difference between Florida and Arizona, was “Florida had more water and a better class of people”.

HAT TIPS is generously sponsored by the following businesses:

Which, I thought to myself, is basically the difference between heaven and hell.

Back to our vacation.

As our flight began to descend into Florida, the pilot warned, “We are about to encounter some turbulence”. He might not have been a genius, but he was dang sure right on this deal.

Over my 65 plus years, I have flown quite a few times. And I have occasionally been on a plane that “encounters some turbulence”. Big deal.

Well, this time it really was. This was a big old plane. With a couple seats on each side and three wide down the middle. I suppose there were a couple hundred people on it. I was in the middle seat. Because that way, I can make two normal size people uncomfortable! I think the airline does it on purpose.

Anyway, I have very nice ladies on either side of me. Shirley was SW Auto Supply 523-7540 Flowers & Cappuccino by Lasting Visions 523-3833

Kevin Henderson from Colorado Springs, Colorado, is here visiting his mom Donna for a few days. They also visited me one afternoon.

There was a 90th birthday party for Ernie Bloomgren on Friday afternoon. Lane, Ann, and Jim played which we always enjoy. Morris had made up a skit of the Beer Barrel Polka. Dybe, Joann, Marge, Ada, Donna, and me were women with hats sitting at the make shift bar and we were having a glass of beer (root beer). We had a blast. Also a little

later they played “I Want to be a Cowboys Sweetheart” and Edna came in on a horse (wooden) trying to rope somebody and Morris got roped.

Edna and the crowd sang. We had cake and ice cream. Kathy from the Seattle area, Ernie’s daughter was here; also, Mike, Heidi and boys.

Mike sang some songs with Lane. It was quite a fun birthday party. Pam and John Meier and Marlene Lutes came and also enjoyed the party, among many others.

Odell Sabe, Joy, and Carol also were here as Odell had a birthday the day before. Lorraine Bowman had her 95th birthday a few days before, two days earlier.

I’ve had quite a bit of company lately. Some wanted to see the Easter centerpieces I had made.

in a different section of the plane. She is nice too (she made me say that). And this plane starts jumping up and down like a three-year old bronc in the bucking chute for the first time.

I mean it is pitching and rearing and teetering and tottering. People are moaning and groaning and an occasional scream. I’m thinking this is the real deal.

Well, being a cowboy and all, I don’t want to upset these nice ladies next to me. Especially the one that is puking in that little sack. So, I act nonchalant and continue filling in the blanks in the crossword puzzle. I don’t know any of the answers, but it impresses people if you can fill in those blanks real fast. And with the plane going through this turbulence they can’t see that I know nothing.

All at once, there is a tremendous bang. I mean like BANG! And a flash of light! The ladies scream.

Those stopping in were Ada Heinrich, Betty Peterson, Julie Henderson, Lorraine Bowman, Doris Fischer, and Melody Pearson. Also stopping were Bud Hetland, Neal Krinke, and Joann White.

Carolyn Weiler came to see Betty Peterson for coffee on Saturday morning. Others there were Doris, me and Hazel at the activity.

Jim and Nadine Wanek from Halliday spent Friday at the Morris Wanek’s.

Also, Betty and Will Hanson from Pierre, South Dakota, stopped to see Morris. They came for the funeral of Ann Johnson of Reeder.

Our weather is getting sort of spring like and the birds are starting to show up. We have a rain shower once in a while.

Being a cowboy, I just kind of shrug and mention, “When they lower the landing gear, it usually bangs like that”. But I did put down my pencil and kind of snuggle up to these lovely ladies to comfort them. They had really nice perfume!

I suppose you guessed it by now, but we made it through the turbulence.

A young man sitting by the window took a picture of the wing. Lighting had struck one of those little pointed things that control the flaps! And turned that baby charcoal black! I had him send me the picture, so I can show it to you next time you fly!

And if you think that was dangerous, you should have seen Shirley’s eyes when, as the plane emptied out, she saw me still holding and comforting these lovely ladies. Even after everyone else had left the plane!

Sherry Sanford from Newell, South Dakota, came to visit Morris and Hazel on Sunday afternoon. Also visiting them were Carol and Lenny Jacobs from Reeder.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

OBITUARIES Fern Olson, 90 Fern B. Olson, 90, of Reeder, passed away on March 23 at the West River Regional Medical Center in Hettinger, N.D. Funeral services were scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2015, at 10 a.m. at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Reeder with burial to follow in the Rosehill Cemetery, Reeder. There was a family and friends service set for 7:30 p.m. at Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Home in Bowman.

Fern was born on June 10, 1924 at DeSart, N.D. to Alvin and Alvina (Kenitzer) Baumann. She was raised on a farm near DeSart and was where she had an accident and lost her hearing at the age of four. Her mother took her to various doctors even in Minnesota to find help for

Olson her but she never regained her hearing. They found the School for the Deaf at Devil’s Lake where Fern attended from age nine through her freshman year of school. She was supposed to start school at the age of eight but a house fire prevented her from attending and had to wait an additional year.

It was very traumatic and scary for her to be away from everyone and every-

thing that she had known.

During her time there she was a bright and excellent student. She learned how to communicate through sign language and also to speak. In those years they told parents and siblings not to learn to sign so that the student was forced to learn to speak. In addition to her regular school classes she participated in dance classes such as tap & the Hawaiian hula, plays, and attended confirmation. She was confirmed in October 1942. She made many lifelong friendships through her years at the School for the Deaf. Then in 1943 the Baumann family bought and ran the Baumann Hotel in Reeder. Fern returned to her home and began school at the Reeder Public School where she graduated in 1946. It has been said that she was the only deaf per-

son to graduate from the Reeder Public School.

Five days after graduation Fern married Vernon L. Olson on June 5, 1946 at Baker, Mont. Vernon and Fern lived and raised their family in Reeder. After all her children left home, Fern went to work at the Reeder Public School as a part-time janitor for nearly 26 years. She took great pride in her work and kept the school as spotless as possible. She became a “Grandma” to many of the school children and loved it when she could teach them a little sign language through the kindergarten teacher. Due to health reasons, Fern retired with great regret in October 1996. Vernon moved into the Southwest Health Care Long Term Care in Bowman in 2001 and passed away June 3, 2004. Fern continued to live in her

own home and in the Reeder community until she became ill on Feb. 26, 2015.

Fern spent time crocheting, doing embroidery and handcrafts, reading, watching TV (particularly her soaps). With the birth of closed captioning on the TV it helped her to enjoy programs even more. She loved flowers and plants and enjoyed working in the dirt.

Fern was a member of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Circle, and quilting group, Prairie Pioneers Senior Center, and an American Legion Auxiliary member for nearly 69 years.

Fern is survived by her four children: Mary Nash of Sturgis, S.D., Peggy (Roger) Fadness of Dickinson, Tim (Jan) Olson of Rock Hill, S.C., and Jerry (Marlene) Olson of Far-

go; seven grandchildren: Heath (Darcy) Nash, Justin Nash, Brian (Cheryl) Fadness, Brenda (Bob) Osendorf, Jamie (Rachel) Olson, Nick (Nikki) Olson, and Kristen (Chuck) Tomanek; nine great grandchildren: Cole and Matthew Osendorf; Luke, Liz, and William Fadness, Isabella Olson, Mia Olson, and Ciara and Colton Tomanek; one brother: Al (Susan) Bauman; one sister-in-law: Violet Jochim; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many wonderful friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon; infant daughter, Betsy Sue; her parents, Alvin and Alvina Baumann; five brothers, Floyd, Clarence, Lawrence, Ivan, and Melvin (Bud); one sister, Hilda; a sister-in-law and friend, Ida Baumann; and son-inlaw, Claude Nash.

Jeffers family continues tradition with award

By James Odermann For the Pioneer

As the Producer of the Year by the North Dakota Beef Cattle Improvement Association, Jonathan and Deanna Jeffers are carrying on a tradition in Bowman County. The tradition began generations of cows ago when Eugene Fischer (Deanna’s father) was given the coveted award.

Fischer’s status currently is senior partner, advising the Jeffers family when asked. In the meantime, the Jeffers family of Jonathan, Deanna, Lane, Beau, Amy and Sarah make sure the cattle are managed— and the records kept.

They record birthweight, weaning weight, cow weight, cow age and other data needed to maximize use of the Cow Herd Appraisal Performance System. This year’s award for the herd with highest percentage of two-year old heifers calving in first 21 days along with highest 205-day adjusted weaning weight from two-year old heifers and highest rebreeding rate on coming three-year olds.

Jonathan said the Jeffers crossbreeding program is designed “to increase a lot of different profitable aspects and fertility is just one of them.”

Breed composition goal is one-half Simmental and one-half black Angus.

“Eugene wanted to get solid black-hided polled cattle and as we transitioned we wanted to get the benefits of crossbreeding. We brought in some Simmental,” Jonathan said.

The Jeffers use AI putting Simmental sires on Angus cows and Angus sires on Simmental cows.

They use SimAngus bulls on the halfblood Angus and Simmental cows.

Heifers are synchronized and bred using calving ease bulls with growth performance. Conception rate rolling average is 70 percent. Data shows the highest 205-day adjusted weight is out of the heifers.

“I really like the CHAPS program. We have used it extensively as far as a management tool as to which cows to AI and which cows to cull by performance,” Jonathan said.

He said the CHAPS calving distribution chart is a very important piece of data during his analysis because “(it) helps us determine which (cows) are the most profitable.”

Jonathan said the sire summary report is important, “Because we do as much AI as we do we are able to put all that data back into CHAPS and we are able to get information about the actual weaning weight along with birth-

weight so we can maximize profitability per mating.”

Jonathan said receiving the award “put the pressure on . . . Gene had a good set of cows . . . I feel like using all of the data he had collected and continuing on that program, we have moved our herd in the right direction.

“We want to have a sustainable operation in which the cows do the work. Each cow that we have will bring profit to the ranch,” he noted.

Profitability is measured by trying to get each cow weaning at least 50 percent of her weight.

While mature cow size has decreased about 100 pounds, he is not seeking a smaller cow, just a “more efficient cow and I feel by reducing the size we can have a cow that is more efficient. I don’t just want to cut size to cut size, “ The CHAPS award “makes one feel good, that some of your accomplishments are recognized,” Jonathan concluded.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Junior High track opens season at Belle Fourche

An early spring is much welcomed by the Bowman County Track & Field team.

Instead of dodging blizzards and trying to find a place to practice, the Junior High team traveled to Belle Fourche to compete.

Both teams had a very impressive start to the season, capturing a total of 10 first place finishes. Leading the 7th grade boys team were Matthew Osendorf and Jaxson Fischer. Matthew won the high jump, long jump and 100m dash.

Jaxson claimed titles in the shot up and discus. Both athletes were on the second place 4x100m relay team consisting of Osendorf, Seth Folske, Camden Wokal, and Fischer. Also winning events for the 7th grade boys was Jacob Svihovec in the 75m hurdles. Rounding out the scoring for the 7th grade boys were Seth Folske (6th in the 100m dash, 7th in the 200m dash, and 6th in the discus), Jacob Svihovec (4th in the 400m dash), and Tris-

ten Ridl (7th in the shot put and 4th in the discus). The 8th grade boys were led by Adam Powell who started his season in a very dominant fashion. Adam won the long jump, placed 2nd in the 100m dash, and placed 3rd in the 200m dash. Corban Massey took home first place in the 75m hurdles, while placing in the 200m and 400m dash.

The 8th grade throwers also showed strength as they racked up 6 places between the shot put and discus.

Parker Lambourn, Jason Ortiz, and Austin Richard placed 3-4-5 in the discus, while Lambourn, Ethan Fischer, and Richard placed 3rd, 6th, and 7th respectively in the shot put. Jordan Powell was also a double placer in the long and high jump (both 3rd place). Conner Bucholz placed 7th in the high jump, the 4x100m relay placed 3rd, and Ethan Fischer placed 3rd in the 8oom run to round out the scoring for the 8th grade boys.

The 7th grade girls found

success on both the track and in the field. On the track they were led by Ashlynn Dix who won the 75m hurdle race, and placed 3rd in the 200m dash, as well as Alexius Miller who placed 2nd in the 800m run and 4th in the 1600m run.

In the field, it was the jumpers who did the damage, as Miller and Kira Irons placed in the high jump, and Dix placing in the long jump.

The 8th grade girls were led

by Maury Burke who won the long jump and placed runner up in the 100m dash, and 3rd in the 200m dash.

Ellie Stafford also placed on the track as runner up in the 75m hurdles and 4th in the 400m dash, and in the field by placing 3rd in the high jump. In the throwing department Becki Fuchs brought home a pair of 5th place finishes. Also placing on the track were the girls 4x100m relay (3RD), Abigail Bartholomay (8th in the 1600, and 7th in the 800m run), Kenna Halleen (5th in the 400m dash).

OPINION

SKOL!: The Vikings Grapevine The Vikings have been relatively quiet during this free agency period. I have already covered the biggest news so far with the trade for Mike Wallace, but there are still some interesting nuggets that you might've missed.

The Vikings have reached deals with three players that will come in and provide depth and competition in training camp.

The biggest signing is

By Jordan Wright

probably Terence Newman, a cornerback who played with Mike Zimmer when Zimmer was a defensive coordinator in Cincinnati. Newman is a two time pro bowler, but

will be 37 years old this season. He was brought in on a one year contract worth $2.5 million and will compete with Captain Munnerlyn and Josh Robinson for the starting left corner position opposite Xavier Rhodes.

Another move the Vikings made was signing Taylor Mays. Mays was a second round draft pick of San Francisco in 2010.

He was a three time, first team all American out of

USC. Mays is a 27 years old, 6'3" 225 pound safety who is athletic enough to also play some linebacker. He has also spent time with Mike Zimmer in Cincinnati, and figures to compete with Andrew Sendejo and Robert Blanton for the starting safety spot next to Harrison Smith.

The third signing was linebacker C. Matthews. I know what you're thinking, and no, we didn’t sign

that long haired guy from Green Bay. We signed his brother Casey. Casey Mathews played the last four seasons in Philadelphia after being drafted out of Oregon in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL draft. He projects as a special team player, but he's young and has potential, as evidenced by his second team all American award in 2010.
