Police arrest man for bond violation Man awaits hearing on drug-related charges; Search warrant info released By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net
FOR A CAUSE Stephen Roise, left, and Bowman native Syd Sparks, right, stand next to the bicycles they will ride during the 2,425-mile trek from Washington to Wisconsin. The duo will pass through southwestern North Dakota beginning May 28.
CYCLING FOR A CAUSE
Bowman native to make 2,425-mile trek
A 19-year-old Bowman resident currently waiting to appear in court on drug-related charges was arrested last week for violating bond requirements, according to court documents. Donovan Brushia was first arrested in February after police conducted a search of a Bowman house that allegedly contained illegal drugs. Brushia was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance, a Class-B felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class-A misdemeanor. Brushia was released from Southwest MultiCounty Correctional Facility in Dickinson several weeks following his arrest on condition that he appear before the court as required, post bail and wear a sobriety patch to be monitored by the Bowman
County Sheriff’s Office, according to records. Brushia was named in two subsequent arrest warrants, March 18 and April 17, that indicated Brushia had violated conditions of his bond. Bowman County Sheriff Rory Teigen said Brushia was arrested April 22 and released two days later. It was ordered by Judge Zane Anderson that a hearing to show cause for Brushia’s alleged bond violation be held May 14. Matthew Arthurs of Bismarck, defense counsel retained by Brushia, said he was not able to comment on the arrest. Almost two months after the incident, information was released regarding the events leading up to the issuance of a search warrant. In an affidavit made by Officer Christopher Kimmerle of the Southwest Narcotics Task Force, it was indicated that the

LONG DISTANCE The trip winds from Bellingham, Wash., to Racine, Wisc. Bowman native Syd Sparks does not consider himself a hobby cyclist. The longest stretch of biking he has ever done was 20 miles. But that will change beginning May 7, as Sparks will begin a 2,425-mile journey from Washington to Wisconsin on his on his bicycle. Sparks will embark on the excursion, Cabins for Kids, raising money and awareness for New Hope Uganda Ministries, an organization he has been part of since the end of his college years. New Hope Uganda is an organization that aims to help orphaned or abandoned children. The group started with one facility, but it has since grown to include another and a campsite. Sparks was born in Miles City, Mont., and grew up in Bowman. He graduated in 1998 from Bowman High School. Like many high school students, Sparks participated in athletics and attended community events. After graduation, he sought the next step for his life. He attempted to enlist in the US Air Force, but his eyesight wasn’t “where it needed to be,” so he enrolled at Dickinson State Uni-
drumming up more conversations about the mission. After the school year was over, Sparks and a friend decided to go to Uganda for a month and see what it was like. “It opened my eyes to a world I never knew existed,” Sparks said. “I saw things I had only seen in pictures.” After his month was finished, Sparks didn’t know if he would return to Uganda, but thought that he would need to spend more time there if he ever did make plans to return. He had just started to form relationships when his visit came to an end. “I thought that wasn’t enough for me,” Sparks said. “I wanted more.” When he returned to the United States, Sparks assumed he would end up teaching — at the time he graduated he was interested in forest firefighting. He even applied to a crew and thought he was a shoo-in. He knew the crew boss and was given information on the proper channels to apply. But then something happened, which Sparks considered to be

versity. He majored in education, and graduated with a degree in physical education and a minor in biology. It was during his time at DSU that he was introduced to New Hope Uganda. At that time, Sparks didn’t consider going into missionary work, and his connection to it was somewhat a coincidence. “I didn’t have any idea that I’d be involved in mission work, or living overseas,” Sparks said. Sparks became involved with a Bible study group and the leader happened to be the North American Director for New Hope Uganda and through that connection Sparks was told about the organization's efforts in the African country. During his junior year at DSU, a mission director returned to the United States and participated in Sparks' the Bible study group,

Community 'ABLE' to recycle on Earth Day By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net April 22 was an important day for employees at ABLE Inc. in Bowman as it marked the highly anticipated worldwide celebration of Earth Day. ABLE Inc. accepted aluminum cans at an inflated rate over three days last week to promote recycling and a cleaner environment. More than 5,000 pounds of aluminum was accepted and recycled at the site.

But it means more to ABLE than just offering its customers a pretty penny on their aluminum contribution, it’s about providing a service to the community, according to Carolynne Jones, director of satellite services for ABLE in Bowman and Hettinger. As the only recycling center in Bowman, it is open year-round to serve customers wanting to do their part to help the environment. On April 22, 23 and 24, however, ABLE

NEWS BRIEFS Farmers Union Youth Week slated for May 3-9 Gov. Jack Dalrymple has proclaimed May 3-9, 2015, as Farmers Union Youth Week, citing North Dakota Farmers Union’s dedication to cooperative education and community leadership. As the state’s largest general farm organization, North Dakota Farmers Union conducts countysponsored classes on educational topics and summer camps for rural and urban youth. More than 1,000 youth attend Farmers Union camps annually, which get underway in June. Four and five-day camps are offered for youth in grades 3-12. Each camp features traditional activities like swimming, campfires, theme nights and sports, while teaching an interactive curriculum that builds teamwork and leadership skills. Attendees also learn about cooperative businesses, and organize their own camp canteen as a co-op. To learn more about Farmers Union’s youth camping program, contact Mary Fischer or Joy Kinsey. Farmers Union Junior Camp for Bowman/Slope Counties is June 14-17, 2015.
Poultry, bird movements limited to control spread of avian influenza To protect North Dakota’s poultry industry from potential exposure to H5 avian influenza virus, the State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) has halted bird movement to shows, exhibitions and public sales within the state in which birds from different locations are intermingled at an event. This does not apply to approved private sales that meet North Dakota importation requirements.
“The state board is taking this precaution to reduce the risk of avian influenza exposure to North Dakota birds,” State Veterinarian Dr. Susan Keller said. “Mixing birds could unnecessarily increase the risk of exposure.” This board action prohibits the specified poultry/bird movements until further notice. BOAH is continuing to monitor and assess the disease threat, which will be re-
viewed at their June 10 quarterly meeting. North Dakota has had two confirmed cases of avian influenza in commercial poultry operations in Dickey and LaMoure counties affecting over 100,000 birds. Nationally, the outbreak has affected nearly 10 million birds in 13 states. Bird owners should immediately report death loss to their local and state veterinarian, restrict
access to their property, prevent contact between their birds and wild birds and practice enhanced biosecurity. State Veterinarian Dr. Susan Keller is reminding anyone bringing birds into North Dakota to contact the North Dakota Department of Agriculture’s Animal Health Division at 701-328-2655 to ensure they are meeting all importation requirements.
State's Legacy Fund deposits exceed $3 billion Deposits into North Dakota’s Legacy Fund will exceed $3 billion when State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt makes this month’s transfer of $38.7 million into the fund. “With the record pace of deposits, the fund stayed on track and hit this mark in the 2013-15 biennium as anticipated” says Schmidt. The Legacy Fund was created in 2010 by a vote of the people, and received its first deposit of $34.3 million in September 2011. The Fund is invested by the State Investment Board in a broad range of assets, including stocks, bonds, real estate and infrastructure.

sees its largest amount of customers bringing in recyclables. “We all look forward to this,” Jones said. “It’s a fun day.” And that was demonstrated through the visible smiles and hard work of ABLE’s employees as they unloaded truck after truck of aluminum. ABLE’s recycling department began in May 1987 and has celebrated Earth Day every year since with the higher return for people hauling in their aluminum recyclables. “Some people save cans all year,” Jones said. She said it’s fun for employees at ABLE to see

those same people turn out each year just for the Earth Day celebration. And there’s many people who take the recycling seriously, as Jones explained many of the customers bring in large horse trailers literally filled with cans. Bowman Grain assists ABLE in weighing the heavy vehicles as they pull in, the customer is then given a ticket that they present to ABLE and are weighed again as they drive out. “Lots of people are good to us,” Jones said. Earth Day, celebrated each year on April 22, began in 1970 by Sen. Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin. Nelson’s aim in establishing such a day was to increase awareness of the environment and the need for its protec-
tion. People around the world take to the streets for a cleanup of grounds and participate in similar activities focused on environmental issues. While some employees assisted recycling customers in the rear of the building, others focused on the front of the ABLE Inc. Made to Order store, which Jones said was busy with customers as it offered some good sales. “We want to be just another business on Main Street,” Jones explained. ABLE, Inc. has been in business since Oct. 1, 1984 when three communities — Bowman, Hettinger, and Dickinson — joined together to form one agency supporting and employing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
ABLE makes their products onsite that are then sold in its Made-ToOrder store. Their products include woven rugs, quilts, tote bags, crayon bags, retro aprons, jewelry, and an ever-expanding children's department. While Earth Day comes only once a year, ABLE has year-round ways it contributes to the community; it’s not the only time the business provides a way people can help the environment. Throughout the year, it also serves as a drop-off for aluminum can tabs. After the tabs are recycled, the proceeds are then donated by ABLE to the Ronald McDonald House in Bismarck, which provides comfort and care to children and their families, according to their website.
material,” which tested positive for the presence of marijuana, were found in the home’s garbage. The affidavit also explained that the home was under surveillance by local law enforcement and there
was “an unusually large amount of traffic coming and going from the residence.” According to the document, police observed several vehicles at the home that were owned or driven by individuals known as being involved in the use and sale of controlled substances, including several individuals not named in the criminal complaint. A search warrant was
then signed by Anderson and carried out Feb. 25. Mitchell Storer and Codee Wickstrom, both of Bowman, were also arrested when the search was conducted. The three will appear May 14 in Southwest Judicial District Court in Bowman for their respective preliminary hearings, which was rescheduled from an earlier date set in April.
Card of Thanks
We’d like to thank all of those who expressed their sympathy with prayers, cards, memorials, flowers, masses, and food at the unexpected loss of Dallas. A heartfelt thank you to the SW Healthcare Long-Term staff for the kindness shown to Mom (Donna) and Julie – especially the dietary staff for the delicious meal brought to the house. Thank you to Father Morman for the comforting words, visits, and funeral mass. Our appreciation also to the mass servers and the Catholic women for preparing and serving the lunch afterwards. Angie Boehm, Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Home, thank you for making this difficult time easier. And to our Trevor - from your Henderson family, words can’t express the gratitude we feel for all you did. From opening your home to the entire family, consoling us, and guiding us in making funeral arrangements, your goodness was felt by each of us as we said goodbye to Dallas. You are a special man and we love you. Sad times like this make us appreciate the kindness and caring of the people of SW North Dakota. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

When the teams are placed alongside Class A schools, the B team placed fifth overall, and the C team placed fourth. Bismarck High and Wachter Middle School will attend the National Science Olympiad competition in Lincoln, Neb., in May. While success is a tradition at Bowman County Science Olympiad, success is achieved because of countless hours of hard work, a lot of joking around and many failures before excellence is found. It has been an absolute honor I will cherish the rest of my life. I have gotten to work with such amazing people involved in this program, both the students and adults. We
could not achieve what we have without the support of our families, the school, and the community. This program has done some special things for the people that have been involved, with around 85 percent of Bowman County SO alumni going on to pursue degrees or work in fields heavily involved in science, math, engineering and/or technology. And while I like to promote the benefits to the students, what this program has done for me as a coach, in terms of my own personal growth, well, I can’t put that into words. Thank you, Science Olympians. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. Jennifer Holecek is the Bowman County Science Olympiad Coach.

Reaching a milestone
Kalina to celebrate 90th birthday
Johnny Kalina celebrates 90 years May 8. He was born in 1925, in Troy, S.D. His earliest memories are doing chores with brother Joe, Such as milking cows, then riding Shetland ponies two miles to Hart School, until eighth grade graduation. Upon graduation he went to work, at 15 years of age, driving truck for his brother Joey and working construction till he married Geneva Hawk in 1944. At that time they ran the Texaco Bulk Station in Bowman. Shortly after, he bought his first trucks and began a long trucking career hauling grain for area farmers. This business grew into one that owned 18 wheelers and hauled cattle, lumber, hay and whatever the farmers needed. In 1989, Johnny sold the trucking company and purchased school busses, which he helped operate, for the next five years. Geneva was a substitute school bus driver and always loved the opportunity to visit with the kids. Johnny continued to work for area farmers and driving semi trucks until 83 years of age.
Life 'changes forever' for Amidon family Family in anguish after newborn faces emergency
By Lewellyn Rustan Special to the Pioneer
Johnny and Geneva were married 70 years on April 29, 2014.

They had a wonderful life and were blessed to raise four children and now have 7 grandchildren and great grandchildren. Geneva passed from this world in Aug. 20, 2014. Johnny has enjoyed being a member of the Assembly of God Church for 60 years, working as a member of the township board and living and raising his family in the Bowman area.
Happy Birthday! We, the family of John Kalina want to extend our best wishes to him for his 90th Birthday for the wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather that he is. The Kalina family would like to ask the community to join them in extending Johnny best wishes on his birthday. Happy birthday to our wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather!

Life changed forever for the Erickson family of Amidon, when a new life came into this world with more challenges than any of them could have imagined. Chad and Lyndsey Erickson, along with their two daughters, Cambrie and Claire, had anticipated the birth of Cadence Christine, but not the anguish that came with it. Cadence was born Jan. 8 with the umbilical cord wrapped twice around her neck. Frantic efforts to save her included 20 minutes of CPR. She was flown to St. Alexius Hospital in Bismarck, where she spent more than a month in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Lack of oxygen, along with a lung infection led to being diagnosed with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. She is being treated for Cerebral
Palsy. In February she was transferred to Sanford Children’s Hospital NICU in Fargo, where a feeding tube was inserted. Cadence was finally able to go home on Feb. 13. “We didn’t even hear her cry for two to three weeks,” Lyndsey remembered. And the devastation continued. “There hasn’t been a week when we haven’t had a doctor appointment,” either in Bismarck or Fargo. “It takes a lot of coordinating.” “It’s been the hardest on our other two girls. Us being gone takes away from them. There’s been a lot of tears. We’re fortunate to have grandparents to help with the girls.” It meant a lot of time away from home, family, classroom and farm. Lyndsey, a high school English teacher at Bowman County Public Schools, has a substitute teacher covering for her. “I’m out of sick leave. I’ll
take a sabbatical leave next year.” Chad is no longer doing electrical work, but keeps his license updated. Getting through the calving season on the family farm and ranch has been challenging. About the future, Lyndsey said, “We don’t really know a lot. There will be motor coordination and function development challenges, and walking and vision issues.” Cadence is receiving occupational therapy, and will need speech and physical therapy as well. “No kid should have to go through that,” she said. The little girl seems to be handling it pretty well. They’ve seen progress in muscle tone. The therapy helps. Help has also come from family, friends and neighbors. “We’ve got our good days, and we’ve got our bad days,” Lyndsey said. “We just have to deal with what God gives us, and take it one day at a time.”

Bowman County FFA teaches about farm safety By Brayden Miller For the Pioneer
Bowman County FFA chapter members visited the Bowman County third grade April 13 to conduct a classroom visit to focus on farm safety. The theme of the visit was farm safety. FFA members help to educate the Third graders about the hazards that are present on the farm from machinery, equipment, chemicals and livestock. The FFA members helped to increase awareness with a puppet show with characters like Watch-It the Scarecrow, Cow Cud, Rocky Rooster and other farm animals.
Tim Fischer demonstrates grain entrapment for third grade students. FFA members also did a grain entrapment demonstration, by showing how a body could become completely covered in moving grain and your body

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net Math wizzes from around the area gathered April 24 in New England to show off their skills. The annual Math Meet Competition was hosted by New England Public Schools and took place inside the gymnasium. Tables filled the gymnasium floor and “mathletes” from 11 different schools competed in four age groups. Overall there were 225 competitors. The students arrived in New England late in the morning and began registering the teams at noon. After a brief orientation the students got to work. There were four individual tests and a fifth team test, with each grade being quizzed on material appropriate for their age level. The first four tests were taken consecutively and then the students went on a break and the floor was reorganized for the team test portion of the competition. Test one was basic arithmetic. The second test covered measurement questions and the third individual test was wordbased math questions. The last individual test was a grab bag-, potpourri-style test, covering a wide range of math questions. Each test was timed. For the first three tests, the “mathletes” were allotted six minutes with the fourth test lasting eight. For the team test, teams were given 12 minutes to complete the exam.
Bowman County students try not to get stumped at this year's Math Meet Competition in New England. Throughout the competition the tests were graded as they were finished, and scores were posted along the gym walls for everyone to view the progress. To determine the team winners in each group, the individual test scores were added to the final team test score. First, second and third place winners were awarded in the team portion while the individual testing was awarded all the way to fifth-place finishers. The testing material was put together by teachers of New England, as per the rules of the competition the host school compiles the testing material in accordance with the competition guidelines.
Participating in the competition this year were teams from Bowman County, Billings County, Carson, Elgin/ New Leipzig, Grant County, Hettinger, Lemmon, McIntosch, Mott/Regent, New England and Scranton. Scranton led the way with six individual winners. Bowman County and Scranton each had four award winning teams. New England Superintendant Kelly Koppinger was happy to host the event, and thought it went very well. “Our community did an excellent job of hosting and putting that event on and I think the kids enjoyed their time here and I think they enjoyed

Say Anything By Rob Port Guest Columnist
The 2014 legislative session is coming to an end. After a respite over the summer, thoughts will turn to the election side of our two-year political cycle and the politicians will be deciding what to campaign on. There’s no question Democrats will be campaigning on the oil tax reforms Republicans pushed through this month, not to mention the legislation to prohibit discrimination against homosexuals. But before the talking points begin flying let’s establish exactly what happened during those debates, and the priorities were for our state’s minority party. When you’ve been marginalized by voters for as long as Democrats - they haven’t held a majority in either house of the Legislature or the governorship for more than twenty years - it can be tempting to see the policymaking process as less about policy than politics. For instance SB2279 (the anti-discrimination bill) seemed aimed at inviting Republican lawmakers to vote against it. It was so sweeping in it scope, and so broad in its definitions, that a Republican majority in the House which has little interest in seeing gays face discrimination simply couldn’t vote for it. The Democrats could have avoided that. They could have limited the scope of the bill to areas like employment and housing, leaving out of it provisions relating to commerce which have seen cake bakers and wedding photographers facing conscription of their services in other states. But they didn’t. Many Republican lawmakers believe that this was a purposeful exclusion. Politics is the art of the possible, as the saying goes, but rather than finding areas of agreement Democrats seem more interested proposing poison pill legislation they knew Republicans will reject. It is unlikely the tactic will ultimately be successful - Republicans shooting down similar legislation in 2011 and 2013 didn’t exactly result in a backlash at the polls - but then again North Dakota Democrats haven’t exactly been putting on a clinic for electoral success these few decades. The debate over HB1476, the oil tax reform legislation, followed a
similar path. Because existing oil tax triggers based on oil prices have created chaos in our budgeting process, Republicans wanted to exchange the elimination of those triggers and other tax exemptions for a lower, flatter tax for the industry. Democrats have been successfully fighting this reform for three bienniums now, threatening each time to paint Republicans voting for it as supporting “tax cuts for big oil.” But with the state staring down the barrel of the “big trigger” exemption which would blow a billion dollar hole in the budget for the next biennium, the Republicans decided it was time to set partisan politics aside and do the right thing. Especially the possibility that the Three Affiliated Tribes on the Fort Berthold Reservation would pull out of their oil tax agreement with the state if the “big trigger” hit, creating a double tax situation for the oil industry operating on tribal lands. But Democrats weren’t willing to let go of their partisan opposition to reform. They railed against the Republican plan, calling it a “nightmare” and a “doomsday” scenario. And when one of their own, Senator Connie Triplett (D-Grand Forks) joined with a Republican to offer an amendment on the bill to improve it, she was attacked. In a Democrat caucus meeting Senator George Sinner (D-Fargo), no stranger to partisan grandstanding, moved to have Triplett stripped of her her seat on the influential Legislative Management committee. Triplett ultimately voted against the bill, but her amendment made it better. Had Democrats engaged Republicans, rather than slinging mud at the reform, perhaps they could have improved it further. Democrats often gripe about the “Republican supermajority” in North Dakota, but here’s some truth about that talking point: Being the “supermajority” party means having an obligation to actually govern. Republicans have nowhere to hide. They’re in charge. They get the blame and the credit. Democrats, marginalized as they are, have no such obligation to govern. They can stand on the sidelines and throw rocks at those making tough decisions. Which may be why we’ll probably go yet another cycle with few electoral gains for Democrats in the state. They don’t seem to get it. North Dakotans want policy, not politics.

We raised him in small town Wisconsin. Much like Hettinger and Bowman, very low tolerance factor for those who didn't fit an undefined criteria.
When you mentioned how religious Bowman is, I understood perfectly. Religious vs. Christian. Big difference. We had people who came to church on Easter and Christmas, gave huge donations to church and were drunken bigots the rest of the year. My son and his husband live in New York City and there are parts of the City that is not safe

No problem. Cup of coffee. You got it. If you need electrolytes for a scouring calf, go to the store. A can of sardines. It’s there. Antibiotic for a calf that’s got a cold, it’s there. Oh, and did I mention if you would enjoy a cold beer on a hot afternoon, it’s there too. Now, I haven’t lived in the neighborhood long. I’m an old guy but a newcomer to the area. So I dang sure didn’t want to get on the wrong side of the proprietor. I asked if I could give them a check and set up a line of credit,
so whoever was checking cows could buy something there if needed. Joe said he would have to consult with the bookkeeper and see if that was possible. Karen came out and I explained what I wanted to do. She replied, “Why don’t you just charge it? Everyone else does.” I asked what was needed to set up a line of credit. She said, “Your address”. Now that is easy. Now, if you go into the store, you’ll notice it has a booth. One booth. And at the booth are several well-worn decks of cards. And a couple of cribbage boards. And, especially in the winter, chances are there will be a cribbage game going on if you stop in to pick up your mail. Did I mention it is also
the post office? And occasionally you may interrupt a pinochle game if you happen to stop for a snack while headed for The Hills. Last week, I was the lone customer one afternoon. I was having a bottle of beer and I explained to Joe and Karen, if they would have “happy hour” from the three to five, business would be much brisker. There response was that they had ran the store for thirty-two years. And that I had been there five days, and was trying to tell them how to run their business! But danged if next time I stopped. Joe had a two for one deal. But the first one cost twice as much as it used to! Later, Dean

One of my first work details after I became a game warden in 1996 was as part of a detail during the paddlefish snagging season. And since then I’ve watched them, weighed them, even tried the caviar, but I’ve never landed one of the prehistoric native fish that
can weigh well over 100 pounds. I was even living in Williston, sort of the the hub of the paddlefishing season, as a youngster nearly 40 years ago in 1976, at the time the state Game and Fish Department first established a paddlefish snagging season. North Dakota’s 2015 paddlefish snagging season is scheduled to run from May 1 and through the end of May. However, depending on the overall harvest, an early in-season closure may oc-

Roen Virginia Corine Sorlie was born Oct. 19, 1932, in Church’s Ferry. Virginia “Gin” attended schools in the local area and then graduated with honors from Churchs Ferry High School in 1950. She attended college in Moorhead, Minnesota, then transferred to Minot State Teachers College where she received her degree and teaching certificate. She then returned home and lived with family, accepting her first teaching position at a little country school south of Churchs Ferry. When a teaching position opened up in Bowman, Virginia was anxious for the opportunity, little did she know she would meet the love of her life there, rancher Robert “Bob” Roen. On Aug. 25, 1954, they were married and to this union, three children were born, Jonathan, Bobby and Julie. Gin could be proud of her roles as an excellent mother, wife, teacher, aunt, and godmother. She also was considered a great horsewoman and helped alongside her husband Bob on the family ranch. Bob and Gin were an integral part of the Roen Ranch in Bowman and the legacy the Roen boys built developing Hereford cattle and raising top notch herd bulls. Virginia could be found horseback on the ranch quite often and valued good Quarter horses and smart dogs. Virginia’s loves in this life were her family, her
many friends plus, the love she had for all animals, especially her Australian Shepherd dogs and her beautiful Quarter Horses. She instilled her love of horses in her children. Gin taught Bobby and Julie how to ride and some of their fondest memories were traveling to 4-H horse events and rodeos, as well as cattle shows. In the 80s, Bob and Gin pursued other opportunities to keep their children active in rodeo and horses. They decided to purchase a saddlery near Bozeman, Mont. Bob, Gin and Julie ran the saddlery together until Julie’s passing from complications of her diabetes. Bob and Gin then sold the saddlery and moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota with their horses. Their beautiful home tucked in the hills gave Virginia some gorgeous areas to ride in. After Bob’s retirement, the couple moved to Arizona for awhile, then back to Montana to be near family, before finally deciding to return the Black Hills and settling in Spearfish. Bob and Gin were married over 50 years at the time of his passing in 2013. Virginia
remained in assisted care in Spearfish until the time of her passing on March 10. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents Harold and Berneice Sorlie, her husband Bob and their three children Jonathan, Bobby and Julie, as well as brothers-in-law Chriss, Glen and Leland Roen, Melvin Holmquist and Bernard Johnson, sisters-in-law Alice and Pearl. Virginia is survived by two brothers Harold “Hal” (Ann) Sorlie of San Diego, Calif., brother Roger “Pete” (Rosemary) Sorlie of Lavista, Neb., and sister, Carol (Bob) Reeves of Jackson, Tenn., sisterin-laws Ethel Johnson of Reeder and Ann Roen Deisz of Billings, Mont., as well as numerous nieces, nephews and great-neices and nephews. She is also survived by Julie Roen’s husband, Russ Olsen, his wife Lauri and their daughters Emily, Hailee and Lynsie Olsen of Gallatin Gateway, Mont. A memorial service will be held in Belle Fourche, S.D., on May 7, at 11 a.m. at St. James Lutheran Church with interment in Bowman on May 8, 2015, at 11 a.m.

Fischer qualifies for state in high jump
Bartholomay improves 2 more school records As the Bulldogs get into the middle of their meet season, things are starting to shape up for the postseason run. This week proved to be a pivotal one, as times and distances continue to improve, school records continue to be broken, and state qualifiers start to shape up. The girls’ meet week began on Saturday with the Dakotah Bank Relays in Lemmon, S.D. A cool and wet day did not hamper the ladies as the racked up five event championships. Lacey Feist and the distance runners led the charge by placing 1-2-3-6 in the 1600-meter run —
Feist, A. Miller, Mikayla Bartholomay, Melissa Bucholz. The fun did not stop there as Bartholomay followed that up with a victory in the 3200-meter run. Meggie Fischer also got in on the action as a threetime event winner in the high jump, 100-meter hurdles and as part of the 4x200-meter relay team — A. Edwards, M. Fischer, M. Burke, C. Walby. Bucholz also continued to improve on her javelin school record as she threw 90 feet 3 inches. That is the second time in as many meets that Bucholz has raised the bar in the
GAME AND FISH NEWS ■ Spring Mule Deer Survey Complete The North Dakota Game and Fish Department completed its annual spring mule deer survey in April, and results indicate western North Dakota’s mule deer population has increased 24 percent from last year. Bruce Stillings, big game supervisor, said the increase is a result of less severe winters the past couple of years, no harvest of antlerless mule deer during the past three deer hunting seasons, and improved fawn production. The 2015 index is 16 percent higher than the longterm average. “In order to maintain further population growth we need to maintain a conservative management approach, with no antlerless mule deer harvest again in 2015,” Stillings said. Biologists counted 2,376 mule deer in 306.3 square miles during this year’s survey. Overall mule deer density in the badlands was 7.8 deer per square mile, which is up from 6.3 deer per square mile in 2014. The spring mule deer survey is used to assess mule deer abundance in the badlands. It is conducted after the snow has melted and before the trees begin to leaf out, providing the best conditions for aerial observation of deer. Biologists have completed aerial surveys of the same 24 study areas since the 1950s.

Meggie Fischer clears 5”0’ at the Baker invite earlier this season. On Tuesday, Meggie cleared 5’1” to set a new school record and qualify her for the North Dakota State Track and Field Championships. javelin. The girls’ team capped off the week with a sixth place finish at the Badlands Conference Meet in Hazen on Tuesday. Fischer highlighted the day by breaking her own school record in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 1 inch. That jump qualifies Fischer for the North Dakota State Track and Field Championships held on Memorial Day weekend in Bismarck. The boys’ team also traveled to Lemmon on Saturday, coming home with six event championships. Leading the way
for the bulldogs was a balanced crew of sprinters and distance runners. In the sprints, Lucas Meadows captured the crown in the 200-meter dash, while Cole Osendorf came out victorious in the 400-meter dash, as well as the javelin throw. Both athletes were also on the 4x400-meter relay team that placed first, along with Andrew Miller and Matthew Osendorf. In the distance events, Alex Madrigal brought home first place in the 800-meter run, while Alex Bartholomay claimed titles in the 1600-meter and
3200-meter runs. Tuesday saw the bulldogs travel to Hazen for the Badlands Conference Meet where the boys finished in fourth place, on the heels of David Chavez’s victory in the 800-meter run. Chavez also placed eighth in the 1600-meter run and was part of the runner up 3200-meter relay team — Chavez, A, Miller, Osendorf, Bartholomay. Bartholomay once again set his sights on the school records in the distance events, but this time, coming tantalizingly close to state qualifying
standards. Alex shaved 11 seconds off of this school record in the 1600-meter run to finish in a time of 4:43.63, but he wasn’t finished there, the 3200-meter run was also improved by 11 seconds as he crossed the line in 10:23.70. Both of those times are three seconds away from state qualification standards. Up next for the bulldogs will be a Saturday trip to Lemmon for the The Harold Severson Invite, followed by the Richardton-Taylor Invite at the Biesiot Activities Center on May 5.

lays. The seventh grade girls chipped in victories by Abby Smyle in the 100-meter hurdles, and Alexius Miller in the 400-meter dash. The boys’ teams also faired very well as the seventh grade boys placed second and the eighth grade boys placed first. The seventh graders were led by Matthew Osendorf who claimed titles in the Long Jump, Triple Jump, and 400-meter Dash. Other event winners included Jacob Svihovec in the 110-meter hurdles, and Jaxson Fischer in the shot put. The eighth grade team relied on a balanced attack of relays, throwers, jumpers, hurdlers, and runners as they racked up five event championships. Alex Madrigal led the way for the runners, win-
ning the 1600-meter run as well as the 800-meter run. Austin Richard powered his way to a shot put title throwing 32 feet 5 inches, almost two feet further than the rest of the field. The Bulldogs also won two relays: 4x200 by Corban Massey, Conner Bucholz, Jordan Powell, Jacob Ruggles, and the 4x400 by Jaxson Fischer, Ethan Fischer, Corban Masset, and Alex Madrigal. The Bulldogs will next be in action on Friday as they travel to Watford City to compete in the Junior High Badlands Conference Track and Field Championships. They will then turn around and compete at the Harold Severson Invite in Lemmon on Saturday.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Divine Intervention — his application was never received. Another member of New Hope Uganda meanwhile returned to the States and had a conversation with Sparks about his desire to teach at the facility. With everything else falling through, Sparks didn't have a reason to say no. That led Sparks to Uganda as he signed a one-year commitment to teach. He spent a considerable amount of his time with the mission director and they talked about what the future might hold for the organization. As the discussion progressed, they started
to discuss a new branch of the organization: a camp. Outside of firefighting, Sparks said, he always held an interest in working and teaching in a camp-like setting. After his one year commitment was finished in Uganda, Sparks applied and was accepted for a camp internship. Part of that internship was to create a camp on paper. So the project he formulated was how he envisioned the new camp of New Hope Uganda would look. He gave it to the mission director in 2007. “When he read it and saw it he said, 'It’s time, let’s do this,'” Sparks said. The camp project was then initiated. The organization's two centers focus on caring for the physical needs of
orphans and abandoned children, while the camp focuses on direction for youth and helping them to develop the tools to become better humans. The hope, according to Sparks, is that they can solve the orphan problems, which lie at the root of the issue. “We want them to grow up with an aim and a goal instead of wandering around as physical adults trying to figure out who they are and what they’re for,” Sparks said. That is where the bicycle journey comes into play. Sparks sought an outof-the box way to raise some money. His idea was a 2,425 mile bicycle ride across a huge span of the country. Sparks said he contemplated the idea for a
while, but the issue was finding a companion to accompany him on the trek. “I didn’t want to do it alone,” he said. It was mainly due to safety. Just as Sparks started to let go of the idea, someone stepped in and rescued the journey. Stephen Roise, a worker for New Hope Uganda, volunteered to ride with Sparks. “I had almost given up on the idea because I couldn’t find anybody,” Sparks said. That was last fall. The plans have been rolling out since Roise decided to join him. The long venture will begin May 7 as the duo depart from Bellingham, Wash. Their estimated date of arrival in Racine, Wisc., the ending point
for the journey, is June 13. The two hope to raise $166,000, or $69 per mile, enough funds to build 10 cabins and two shower houses. Sparks has been in the United States since Thanksgiving and has been training for the voyage. His training regiment is simple: Riding as much as he can. Sparks said he’s tallied 744 outdoor miles on his bicycle as of April 23. During the journey, Sparks and Roise will have stretches as long as 110 miles and as short as the distance from Baker, Mont., to Bowman. The two expect they will ride through southwest North Dakota at the end of May. They will be in Bowman on May 28, then
will travel to Scranton and head north through New England to Dickinson. While Sparks and Roise will be the only two riding the entire distance, Sparks said they will have people joining them for unspecified stretches. Sparks said if anyone wants to join them, even if it’s for a short distance, they are welcome. Those interested in supporting Sparks and New Hope Uganda Ministries can simply hand him monetary donations while he's on his journey, visit www.NewHopeUganda. org/donate, or send funds to New Hope Uganda Ministries, Post Office Box 154, Belle Fourche, SD 57717.

Stairways: They move us all DESIGN SPACES
By Linda Brooks
For the Pioneer lbrooks@ndsupernet.com When we think of designed and built spaces we are confronted with the problem of how to move people and objects from one level to another? The stairway was invented to answer this question. A stairway is defined as a passageway from one level of a building to another by a series of stairs. These can be straight, curved, or spiraled. They can be fabricated out of a host of products - marble, stone, and wood are a few of the choices. They can be very simple or very elaborate depending on the space they will occupy. Staircases have always held a special fascination for me. Perhaps growing up in a rambler accounts for some of this? I always wanted to live in a house with a second or third floor. My great aunt Gee and her three brothers, Ted, Ralph and Tim lived in a grand house that had a marvelous oak stairway to the second level. It even had a landing that was large enough for us to play on – what could be better? We spent hours there and from our perch we could look into the dining room and living room. From the second level there was a wee circular staircase that went from the upper level to the kitchen below – oh the hundreds of trips we made up and down – very quietly as Mom and Aunt Gee could hear any loud noises we might make. My love of staircases went with me when I went to college to study interior design. I was able to see many different staircases in the buildings at NDSU and in the buildings we toured on the National Register of Historic Buildings –
Minneapolis has many of these historic buildings. In the days when these homes were built staircases were hand carved. In one mansion sized home, our professor pointed out that a master carver and two assistants spent 3 years hand carving the banisters, railings and the wood panels gracing the walls of the stairwells. When I graduated from NDSU I lived in Minneapolis for six years – during that time I purchased a town home and it had one of my favorite architectural features – a spiral staircase. Moving large objects up and down was a challenge but the beauty and uniqueness of it more than made up for this. Spiral staircases are defined as a stairway that winds around a central shaft as it rises from one level to another. These are also called winding staircases. They can be fabricated from stainless steel, cast iron, bronze, and wood and they can be traditional, contemporary in style. Because they use space differently than a conventional stairway their applications are many and varied. In a commercial setting they can be used in churches, hospitals, and schools; in industrial settings they can be used for airport towers and grain elevators; and in residential settings they can be used to reach attics, decks and lofts, and as fire escapes. They can be customized for any specifications a client may need. The pictures included with this article display many different types of circular stairways. Thanks for traveling with me “up the down staircase.” Linda Brooks, owner of Design Consulting, has an Interior Design Degree from NDSU. She lives in Bowman.
