MARTIN: Spread love, not hate in wake of Orlando

JAMES WINS 2016 ELECTION

After contentious race, incumbent declares victory By BRYCE MARTIN

FULL ELECTION COVERAGE | INSIDE

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net

It was 60 votes that handed incumbent Bowman City Commission President Lyn James another four-year term on Tuesday. The 12-year veteran of the city board defeated her fellow commissioner, Chuck Whitney, to retain her spot. Whitney, who was elected onto the city commission in 2012, lost with only 45 percent of the vote, or 298 votes. James earned 363 total votes. “I will do my very best to lead the city of Bowman into the future over the next four years,” James told The Pioneer on Wednesday. “I ran a strong, clean campaign based on merit and respect for the voters. That is what Bowman deserves.” The race for city commission president was a contentious one. Both candidates took to social media in the months leading up to the primary to attract and encourage voters but the discourse sometimes turned controversial, and supporters on either side made sure their opinions — sometimes combative in nature — were heard. Firm opinions of the candidates’ voting records and behavior were also laid out for the public in letters sent to The Pioneer.

EF-3 tornado ravages parts of Baker, Mont. Widespread damage, no fatalities reported By SHERRY VOGEL For The Pioneer

It had already proven to be a busy weekend for Baker, Mont. — the city was host to the 2016 Montana High School Rodeo Finals and hundreds of people had flocked to the area for the excitement. But instead of cleaning up after a rodeo, the community had to sort through the havoc of a tornado that ripped across the area Saturday evening. Baker was hit by an EF-3 tornado around 6:30 p.m. June 11, injuring seven residents and demolishing at least two houses, damaging up to 50 more homes. The National Weather Service issued tornado alerts earlier Saturday that indicated severe thunderstorms containing large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornados would be possible over portions of the central and northern high plains. Shortly before the tornado touched down, the Baker Little League was playing softball on the

IN BRIEF

Cloud seeding week 2 update

Thunderstorms brought beneficial rainfall to much of western North Dakota late last week. In the District 1 operations area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP), which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted operations for hail suppression, rain enhancement, and reconnaissance on June 9-11. In all, 7 flights were flown by the two project aircraft. Temperatures are moderated this week across North Dakota with highs in the mid 70s to lower 80s expected. There will be daily chances for thunderstorms as the upper level pattern remains active. Radar facilities in Bowman operate around the clock during the NDCMP. Radar images can be viewed on the Atmospheric Resource Board’s web site at http://www. swc.nd.gov/arb. The NDCMP will continue through the end of August.

232 citations given for underage drinking Law enforcement agencies across the state from April 1 through May 17 deployed extra patrols to prevent underage drinking. A total of 232 citations were attributed to the added patrols, including 54 counts of minor in consumption and 29 counts of minor in possession. Four driving under the influence (DUI) arrests, 22 other alcohol-related citations, 14 drug-related citations, and four open container citations. Traffic stops by the added patrols also resulted in two felony arrests, six warrants served, 33 speeding tickets and four seat belt citations. Funding for additional traffic safety enforcement is provided by federal grant money distributed through the North Dakota Department of Transportation. Highvisibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to eliminate motor vehicle deaths in North Dakota.

Goehring announces new bee map, reminds beekeepers of regulation changes Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring announced the availability of a new interactive web-based map to facilitate contact between landowners, beekeepers and pesticide applicators. Beekeepers may use the map to create an account, update information, request a new license or renew an existing license, add and edit hive locations and sign up for alerts for watch areas of pesticide treatments. Licensed beekeepers should contact the department to get their claim code to connect to their account. Pesticide applicators are able to register treatment regions, sign up to be alerted of watch areas of new apiary locations and look for apiary locations in an area. The map is also available for anyone to view North Dakota apiary locations, was well as other sensitive areas such as orchards and vineyards. Goehring is also reminding beekeepers of the recent regulation changes for beekeeping in North Dakota. The new bee map is available at https://beemap.ndda. nd.gov/. North Dakota had nearly 600,000 colonies of bees in 2015 and has held the title of the No. 1 honey-producing state in the nation since 2004. In 2014, North Dakota bees produced over 42 million pounds of honey valued at over $84 million.

2016 PRIMARY ELECTION FULL COVERAGE

City vote recount could be imminent By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

bmartin@countrymedia.net

Never before has a Bowman County election undergone a recount. That could change following this week’s primary election as two candidates for Bowman City Commission were within three votes of each other. Bowman County Auditor Sandi Tivis was scrambling Wednesday morning as she waited for recount information from the North Dakota Secretary of State’s office. The status of a recount was uncertain until Tivis received the information and contacted the candidate. Dan Peterson and Ryan Shear, two of the four candidates for Bowman City Commissioner, were only within three votes of each other, with 253 votes and 256 votes, respectively. According to Tivis, those results did not warrant an automatic recount. But a demand recount is possible. A 22-page document released by the Secretary of State’s office details in great length the many procedures when handling a recount in North Dakota. An automatic recount is triggered if an individual fails to be nominated by 1 percent or less of the votes cast for the candidate receiving the most votes. In

Friday thru Thursday at 7:30 P.M.

If primary votes are any indication, incumbent Bowman County Commissioners Rick Braaten and Pine Abrahamson might have carved out a solid path to re-election. Though much could change in five months. The two commissioners received the highest number of votes out of the 10 candidates running for county commissioner in Tuesday’s primary election. With three positions open on the board, it will likely be a close contest in the Nov. 4 general election as to which candidate would fill the third seat, vacated by retiring Commissioner Bill Bowman. Braaten and Abrahamson earned 795 votes and 538 votes, respectively. They join candidates Jerry Jeffers, Dave Anderson, Bruce McLaughlin and Chris Johnson as they move on to the November election. Candidates Brandy Getz, Margie Becker-Russ, John McGee and Dale Palczewski failed to amass enough votes to proceed past the primary. In another contested race, for the Bowman district representative on the Bowman County School Board, voters made a clear, majority decision. Tobiann Andrews received 692 votes as her opponent Jennifer Jahner received 330 votes.

this case that was Myron “Tiger” Vail, who amassed 534 votes. In the event of a recount, all legally voted and cast ballots containing the particular race must be recounted and recounting all votes cast for the contest could change the number of votes given to each candidate within that race. That means it could affect other candidates, though it is unlikely considering the margin of the other votes. In a race where electors are asked to vote for two candidates, if the margin of votes between the candidate receiving the most votes — Vail — and the candidate receiving the second most votes — Shear — is less than 1 percent, a recount is not ordered since both candidates were nominated. Tivis said with the race between Shear and Peterson, however, it is considered eligible for a demand recount, which occurs when an individual fails to be nominated by more than 1 percent, but less than 2 percent of the votes for the candidate receiving the most votes. A candidate must make their demand in writing for a recount within three days of the local canvassing board meeting, which will be held at 1:30 p.m. June 20 in Bowman. Tivis later indicated that two requests were made for absentee ballots for the city of Bowman. If those com-

He also served on the city’s Renaissance Zone committee and the Bowman County and Bowman City Planning and Zoning boards.

“Success comes from working endlessly,” Andrews said Wednesday. “I’m humbled and grateful to have this opportunity. I will work endlessly to better the Bowman County School District.” Voters didn’t seem as confident, however, when deciding whether to change the Bowman County State’s Attorney position from elected to appointed by the county commission. The measure, which appeared on all Bowman County and city ballots, was defeated in a narrow 633-566 vote, keeping the position as elected by the public. One of the predominant writein contests was for Bowman City Park Board, which had two seats available but no official candidates. There were no clear majority winners, though there were a total of 102 write-ins. Bowman County Auditor Sandi Tivis said that no winners from the park board race would be decided until the election is canvassed and the results made official, scheduled for June 20. Another write-in race, for the Rhame City Council, was filled by Neil Eagon. Eagon had the second most write-in votes after Pam Getz, who declined the position. Eagon will join Tina Eagon, who ran on the ballot unopposed, on the Rhame council. A total of 1,257 residents cast their vote in the Bowman County primary election, which Tivis said was a good turnout for a primary election. lar city meeting at the end of the month, at which time the new commissioner will be sworn into office. James said newly elected officials are traditionally sworn in on the final Tuesday of the election month, but in the interest of saving taxpayer dollars, she said, the city’s regular meeting, scheduled for June 21, would be combined into the meeting June 28. Whitney told The Pioneer he didn’t wish to make a comment on the results.

pleted ballots are received by the county with a postmarked date no later than June 13, it could further affect a potential recount. If a recount is requested, it must take place within eight days after the canvassing board’s meeting, per state guidelines. The candidate that opted for a recount would solely finance a recount, which Tivis estimated at about $200. That cost covers the amount of workers and their hours worked. Tivis said Wednesday afternoon that she contacted Peterson, who said he would wait to make a decision to request a recount until after the Bowman County Canvassing Board meets. The county canvassing board is composed of Jan Werre, the county recorder, Tivis, and chairman of the Bowman County Commission—since Chairman Rick Braaten and vice-chair Pine Abrahamson are in the election, Tivis said she’ll be bringing in two other individuals—as well as a representative from both the Republican and Democratic parties. The canvass board will review the reports of the election results and compile the data from the printed tapes containing the results to ensure there are no discrepancies in the reporting. The board follows protocols set by the state to challenge any results if questions exist.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Bowman’s Lardy selected for state leadership seminar

Shaye Lardy of Bowman has been selected to represent Bowman County High School at the North Dakota Leadership Seminar June 16 to 19 at the University of Mary in Bismarck. Lardy, the daughter of Scott and Nicole Lardy, was selected to represent her school at the North Dakota Leadership Seminar because of her leadership skills, commitment to community service and involvement in her school and community. For more than 30 years, The North Dakota Leadership Seminar brings together some of the North Dakota’s most talented young people from across our state to join together for an extraordinary weekend focused on leadership development, service,

and issue awareness through empowering discussions and informal debate. Students walk away each year with the tools they need to motivate their peers to make a difference in their communities and schools. Each student who attends the program is encouraged to go back into their community and provide 100 hours of service throughout the year. Rusty Bender, Seminar Co-Chair, explains how NDLS can encourage students to become leaders. “My hope for students as they leave NDLS is to have a greater understanding for how they can impact the world around them, and that no matter how small, every effort counts. They are tomorrow’s leaders and

we help give them the confidence they need to follow

through on that responsibility.”

OPINION

Your community’s views We want to hear from you. Send your Letters to the Editor via email to bmartin@countrymedia.net.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An unfair statement The only reason I am writing this letter is in response to Bowman City Commissioner Darrell West’s unfair statement in his letter to the editor in The Bowman County Pioneer. West’s statement was: The personal attack on Lyn and Gordy was disheartening and showed the true character of the opposition. I am assuming West was referencing a letter written by an anonymous thoughtless individual who does not represent the vast majority of what West referred to as “The Opposition.” I, and I am confident I am speaking for a very high percentage of the people in Bowman, who do not condone malicious personal attacks. It is my opinion that in a civil manner, we have the privilege to stand up for what we believe in, and we should respect each others rights. That is one of the many reasons why it is great to live in America. Last week I expressed my opinion in a letter to the editor and I respect every other persons feelings and opinions, with the exception of Commissioner West’s, as I feel it is wrong for him to categorize what he considers “The True Character of the Opposition.” Darrell, this was an attack by only One spiteful person. It was not the consensus of most of the people who supported Chuck Whitney who you refer to as “The Opposition.” Just a word of caution Darrell. Be very careful how you categorize “The True Character of the Opposition;” As the opposition may include people who voted for you during the last election, your friends, colleagues or may even include a family member. As one of our community leaders, it is part of your job description to bring your community together for a common cause that is beneficial to Bowman, rather than dividing the community with careless statements. Hopefully in the future, you will set your standards a little higher and be cautious as to how your characterize your constituents.

Rod Diede, Bowman

Spread love, not hate

Where have we failed as a society that when the most sensitive of our heart strings are pulled we retaliate against each other instead of coming together By to fix what's wrong. BRYCE The wake of the murder MARTIN of 49 innocent people in Pioneer Orlando has not opened up Editor our eyes, it's only worked to divide us more. That's our failure. And it's a tragic one. After 9/11 we came together. Our country was torn, but as a community, from ocean to ocean, we repaired instead of retreated. But now, after a similarly horrendous attack, we are pitted against each other. The rhetoric from political figures is driving the wedge into an already muddy series of comingled complex issues. Everybody wants to blame everybody else instead of taking a stand and making a change. We can talk until blue in the face, but without action there's no point in hope for the future. I am proud of my Second Amendment rights. While I have never shot a gun in my life, it's nice to know that I, as an American, would be able to express that right whenever I would want. In that same breath, I do believe there should be better, tighter regulations. No, nobody is going to take your guns away. The goal, in my opinion, would be to ensure those responsible for enabling such terror be held equally accountable. That goes for the politicians that are inactive or mum on the issue, as well. But I don't think it's strictly a gun control issue. That's too much of an oversimplification. Clearly people wanting to inflict pain will find a way, despite any kind of ban on firearms. No, that's not the answer. There are so many issues -- mental health, religion, culture -- that are at play following this tragedy. But the overall message should be that we need to spread love, not hate. When we hate, we're no better than those attempting to attack our way of life. Love needs to be heard louder and further than hate. That's the only way we can begin to truly change. So let's start there, shall we?

Celebrating fatherly love Live, Love, Learn By LORI SOLA

For the Pioneer

Another special day is upon us that nods its head at parents, this time honoring Dads. Of course I want to extend this gratitude towards those who are not fathers, but still play an important role in the lives of our youth - such as uncles. Neither of my brothers are Dads, but I appreciate how they have taken time out for their one and only nephew. I know they would have been great Dads by the way they’ve treated Shawn, gotten down on his level to play, explain things in a manner he’s been able to understand,

and answer all his questions. My own Dad always took time out for us kids. When we were growing up, we didn’t even farm on Sundays which meant after attending church and Sunday school, he’d shoot hoops, play catch, push us on the tire swing, teach us how to shoot a gun or whatever else was up our sleeves. Dad always supported my musical endeavors, we sang in the same cantatas, he drove the bus for my class trip and to basketball games so he could see me cheer, (which I wasn’t too thrilled about at the time. Who wanted to be on a bus full of boys and have their Dad driving the bus? But I do appreciate that he was able to do that and it got him into the games for free) and taught me how to drive all the grain trucks and tractors on the farm as he didn’t want to raise a daughter who didn’t participate in the family business. Chisel plowing

was my favorite, thank you very much! And with only one grandchild, I’d say he’s a pretty fantastic Grandpa. Now for my husband, Scott. You may not know him very well as he’s pretty quiet. He always told me that was the result of being the middle child between a sister and a brother who loved to talk…he never got a word in! Just last week he shared a post on Facebook that said, “Don’t underestimate me because I’m quiet. I know more than I say, think more than I speak and observe more than you know.” With that said, Scott has been an amazing handson Dad since the moment Shawn was born. Since I had a C-section, he held our precious gift first and carried him off to get weighed. He’s changed diapers (except the really runny ones), always took his turn bottle-feeding, gave baths,

and rocked until they both fell asleep. I remember he’d come home from work and I’d hand him our crying son the moment he entered the house and he always calmed him down quickly with just tickling the back of Shawn’s neck. Scott is Shawn’s best bud. They share the same interest in video games, have the same sense of humor, enjoy going on frequent three-mile walks, and read together every night. “He is awesome,” Shawn said. “He plays with me, our favorite video game is Minecraft, and he cooks!” Yes, Scott does it all and does it all well. Cooks, bakes, grills, cleans, does the laundry, mows the lawn, paints the house, etc., etc. He truly is a guy who sees what needs to be done and does it. Well, there may be a few things that have been on the honey-do list for a long time! But as far as a Dad goes, he’s No. 1!

After further thought, I had to agree that once again Shirley was right. But I found out I am not the only one that lacks the judgment and patience to be a dog trainer. One of Wills best friends is Ryan. He lives in a suburb of Minneapolis. And he has a dog. A big dog. As far as I am concerned there are only six breeds of dogs. Big, middle sized, and small. And big hairy dogs, mid sized hairy dogs. And small hairy dogs. Ryan’s is a big dog. And this big dog dug up all the flowers Ryan’s wife had lovingly planted. And then he dug up the garden that was lush and green with peppers, tomato plants, peas, and beans. And corn that was nearly ready to tassel. Ryan has two little girls. So Ryan took a page out of the Hat Tips training manual. He went berserk and grabbed the dog and drug him over to the flowerbed. There he proceeded to strike (I was going to

say whip but that sounded too harsh) the dog with tulips and black-eyed Susan’s. He threw tomato plants at him and pushed his nose in the garden dirt! Then he looked up. His two little girls were crying and his wife was watching with that “Is this the man I married” look in her eyes. Ryan stepped back, calmly regained his senses, brushed the dirt from his hands, gave the dog a gentle pat on the head. And declared, “Good boy. Good boy.” I’ve learned that if you aren’t smarter than the dog, just buy a trained one.

Dog training Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Pioneer

I know I’ve written about dogs before. I’m sure you remember Vern Baker, the dog that tore all the drapes in our house down, tore the roof lining out of Will’s pickup, and pulled the tails off several cows. But we kept him because he was kind to our grandkids. And if you’ve been a reader for years, you probably can remember Lucky, who gathered wild horses by himself, and could whip a coyote in a fight. I have one named Tyke now, who isn’t a real good cow dog, but he thinks he is. Self-esteem is important. Forty years ago I had a red heeler named Tyke that was one of the smartest

dogs I have ever seen. And he was good to my kids. There was Brooklyn, one of those wrinkly dogs, and Four, and Canardly, and Lucky, and numerous others. They were kind of like kids, even with faults, you can find something good about each of them. So the other day, one of my dear friends had a post on Face book trying to locate a dog trainer. I thought about answering the post. But then Shirley reminded me of my dog training skills. She assured me that my good dogs were good in spite of me, not because of me. She reminded me of when I water boarded Vern, because he kept biting the front feet of cattle as they tried to load in the trailer. She reminded me of how far I threw my sorting stick when Brooklyn chased a bull through the fence and wouldn’t stop. She reminded me of the blue heeler that thought his name was “Stop you S.O.B!”

Funeral Services for Doris will be at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at the Pierce Congregational Church rural Scranton. Pastor Mary Wiggins will officiate with burial to follow in the Pierce Congregational Cemetery. There will be a Family and Friends Service on Tuesday evening at the Krebsbach Funeral Home Chapel beginning at 7 p.m. Doris was born at home on

Teske June 16, 1925, to Archie and Ellen (Powell) Stafford. She grew up on the family farm north of Scranton during the Depression. She loved being outside working with her dad. One of her jobs on the farm was to watch the

turkeys and gather eggs. Her favorite pastime was to read. She attended high school in New England and boarded in town. She said she was scared until she saw the library. She quoted, “I was in heaven!” She graduated as valedictorian in 1942. Doris continued her education at the Dickinson Teachers College. She taught school for four years. She was an avid horsewoman and belonged to a group of young women called the “Pony Pals”. They enjoyed riding and made a few long distance trips to Medora, the Cave Hills, and Buffalo, S.D. On Nov. 26, 1949, Doris

and Lloyd Teske were married in a double wedding with Gordon and Helen Teske at the parsonage in New England. They raised their four children on the family farm 17 miles north of Scranton. She was a member of Pierce Congregational Church, American Legion Auxiliary, Good Neighbor Garden Club, Pierce Women’s Fellowship and a birthday club. Doris worked on the Pierce Digest, was a 4H leader and a Sunday School teacher. She enjoyed gardening, reading, horseback riding, counted cross stitch, bird watching and art, mainly painting and drawing landscapes and horses.

In her later years she listened to many books on tape. She crocheted and knitted many afghans, baby sweaters and prayer shawls. After her 90th birthday she entered Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger where she resided for 10 months. At the time of her passing she was a resident of Southwest Healthcare Center in Bowman. Doris is survived by her four children, Jill (Mike) Miller, Fargo, Neva (Larry) Morken, Warsaw, Mo., Tamara (Bruce) Burke, Dickinson, and Laverne (Mona) Teske, Scranton.

SPORTS Baseball: Bears split against Garrison By COLE BENZ

For The Pioneer

The Post 115 Legion team traveled to Garrison to face off against the Titans on Thursday, June 9, and came away with a split. The Bears—made up of players from Bowman, Scranton, Hettinger, and New England—hit the Titans hard in the first game. The Bears put up 10 runs in the first inning, ultimately cap-

turing the 19-4 victory in a 10-run-rule game that ended in five innings. The Garrison pitcher made it through only the first few batters in the first inning as he injured his elbow, and was forced to leave the game. Brandon Pierce started and went four strong innings, giving up three earned runs. He tallied three strikeouts. Jacob Dix came in for the fifth inning in relief. After

giving up a first-pitch home run to the first batter he faced, Dix faced only four more batters and came out of the inning with only one earned run and one hit. Pierce went 3-for-4 with a triple, 6 RBI and three stolen bases. Hudson Pierce also went 3-for-4 with a double, 4 RBI and two stolen bases. Dix went 1-for-2 with three walks, three stolen bases and 2 RBI. Cole Osendorf recorded two stolen bases.

Kyle Burwick went 2-for-2 with 2 RBI and two walks. And Daniel Baesler went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. The second game was more competitive, but the Bears fell in extra innings 10-8. Jarred Mattis started and gave up eight runs, only four of which were earned. He had four hits and gave up five walks. Mattis did his best to deceive the opposing hitters,

and ended his day after 5 2/3 innings with 11 strikeouts. Brett Christopherson came on in relief and pitched the final 2 1/3 innings and had two strikeouts and two earned runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, taking the loss. Mattis got a no decision on the evening. Hudson Pierce lead the way, going 2-for-5 with 3 RBI. Alex Bartholomew went 1-for-3 with one walk and a stolen base. Osendorf

went 0-for-3 but had two walks, two runs, and two stolen bases. Ryan Sime went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch. The June 11 game against Makoti was postponed but has yet to be rescheduled. The Bears’ next game is June 21 when they open at home in Hettinger with a double header against Surrey. The first game starts at 3 p.m. with the second slated to start at 5 p.m.

Species Act. State Game and Fish Department officials emphasize the finding merely initiates a status review of moose in the Upper Midwest, and it will not affect any current state regulations in the foreseeable future. The announcement concerns the population of the moose subspecies found only in the Midwest, including Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin in addition to North Dakota. Jeb Williams, Game and Fish Department wildlife division chief, said the Department will be providing

data to show that the state’s moose population has been doing quite well for years. Williams mentioned if data on North Dakota's moose population had been considered in the petition's finding, it's possible the state's moose population would have been excluded from the process. “This can be a long and confusing process, but North Dakotans need to understand that nothing will change in the interim and we believe our moose population will continue to do well,” Williams said. Currently the state’s high-

est moose densities are found in the northwest, while numbers in what was once considered traditional habitat in the Turtle Mountains and Pembina Hills, remain low. Overall, the statewide population is stable to increasing. North Dakota held its first moose hunting season in 1977 and 10 licenses were made available to hunters. The season has run uninterrupted since then. For 2016, the Game and Fish Department allocated 202 moose licenses, up 70 from 2015.

The Department continues to monitor moose that die from causes other than hunting, to determine any effects of disease and to gain a better understanding of why they died. In addition, a three-year moose research study is ongoing in the Kenmare area and on the Missouri River bottoms southeast of Williston. The research is focusing on annual survival, causespecific mortality, reproduction rates, annual and season movements and home range use, as well as seasonal habitat selection.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

Last season, Adrian ran for a league leading 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding 30 catches for 222 yards. For just the fourth time in his nine year career, Adrian was able to play in all 16 games of the regular season. Once again, the football world was reminded that Adrian is a rare athlete who can break a long run from anywhere on the field and at any point in the game. However, leading the NFL in rushing yards came at a price. Adrian totaled 350 carries in the regular season and playoffs. When you total up the amount of carries and passes thrown his way, Adrian has been involved in 2,831 plays throughout his career. All those hits add up, as the human body can only take so much. Jerick McKinnon is a player the Vikings are hoping is able to take some of the carries away from Peterson. McKinnon was second on the team with 52 carries for 271 yards, as well as 21 receptions for 173 yards and three total touchdowns in 2015. Jerick was able to increase his yards per carry from 4.8 his rookie year to 5.2 last year. The Vikings are hoping he can make a similar leap in year three. Matt Asiata split the backup duties with McKinnon last season after

GAME AND FISH NEWS BOW program announces schedule The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program is announcing its schedule for 2016. A new paddleboarding event is set for July 7 at Harmon Lake in Morton County. Participants will experience an evening on the water using a stand-up paddleboard. Equipment and gear is included in the $30 registration fee. Register online at the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov. The annual summer workshop is Aug. 5-7 at Lake Metigoshe State Park, Bottineau. Participants may take several programs including archery, canoeing, introduction to firearms, fly-fishing, basic shotgunning, hiking, plant identification and trapping. Workshop fees of $100 cover instruction, program materials, use of equipment, all meals and lodging. Registration information is available on the Game and Fish website. A canoe trip is scheduled Sept. 10-11 at Lake Metigoshe State Park. The twoday workshop will include instruction and significant time on the water. Work-

starting 9 of the 15 games in 2014 that Peterson was unavailable. Asiata only carried the ball 29 times for 112 yards in 2015, but proved to be valuable as a check down for Bridgewater, catching 19 passes for 132 yards. Jhurell Pressley is an undrafted rookie out of New Mexico. Pressley is a smaller running back (5’10”, 206 pounds) who has speed but limited power. Last season for the Lobos, he ran for 1,083 yards on only 114 carries for an absurd 9.5 yards per carry. The only other running back listed on the Vikings website is C.J. Ham, an undrafted rookie from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD. There isn’t a lot of information available on Ham besides his stats (1,097 yards and 16 touchdowns) and his measurable (6’1”, 238 pounds). Starter: Adrian Peterson Call me crazy, but I’m predicting it now: Adrian Peterson will be the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. Even at 31 years of age, Peterson will resume his quest to be the best running back to ever have played the game. Even though he claims he can play until he is 40 years old, it’s clear there aren’t many years left of watching this future hall of famer. Enjoy it while you can. Backups: Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata Jerick is an excellent change-of-pace running back who can catch the ball out of the backfield or run it between the tackles. Hopefully McKinnon will be able to steal some carries from Adrian.

Handle fish with care North Dakota’s open water fishing season has many anglers hoping to land that elusive trophy fish. While hooking a wall-mounter is important for some anglers, others simply enjoy the thrill and return the fish back into the water. Catch-and-release is effective only if released fish are handled carefully. The following precautions will enhance the likelihood of a released fish remaining healthy: · Fish should be caught

from depths less than 30 feet. · Land the fish quickly. If possible, don’t play the fish to exhaustion while attempting to bring it in. · A needle-nose pliers or similar tool should be used to remove the hook. · When removing the hook, don’t squeeze the fish or hold it by its eye sockets, and avoid contact with the gills. · If the fish is hooked deep, cut the line close to the mouth. · If possible, hold the fish in the water while preparing it for release, including while handling it to remove the hook. · Don’t throw the fish into the water. When releasing it, place it into the water and move it slowly back and forth until it becomes acclimated.

shelters. The city was on high alert far into the night. While those additional tornadoes never reached the ground, it was still a harried night for many. The majority of the city remained without power until 2 a.m. the next day. The Fallon County Library basement was set up as an emergency operations center that filtered all incoming information. The response was impressive as the city, county, American Red Cross, public volunteers and neighbors jumped in to lend a helping hand. Many individuals came together to meet the needs of the moment.

Tornado hits Baker neighborhood An ominous, dark cloud was spotted hovering over a five-mile radius southeast of Baker. According to the National Weather Service, the inter-perimeters of the massive cloud churned at 140 to 150 mph as it labored to funnel out. While county disaster sirens wailed alert, many local residents stood by, snapping pictures with their cell phones or recording video footage. The cloud quickly formed a tornado, which the National Weather Service would later label an EF-3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale that measures the strength of tornadic activity. The destructive tail moved downward, ultimately destroying an entire east side neighborhood in Baker. Seven city residents were injured, two homes were flattened and many other structures sustained excessive damage, according to responders at the scene. Thirty to 50 homes in total were affected, leaving at least 10 people displaced. Some found refuge in local motels in the storm’s aftermath while many stayed with family or friends.

Help arrives at scene of devastation The Baker city blocks located between South Fifth Street east and South Tenth Street east, intersected by Texas Avenue, were hit hardest and sustained the most damage. Piles of rubble stood in place of two homes, while about 15 others were missing roofs, windows or outbuildings. Personal property, household items and chunks of glass were strewn across the landscape. Pieces of shredded insulation hanging from naked trusses danced eerily in the wind. Snarled curtains flapped wildly in unison as they struggled to break free from shattered windows. Many broken and leaning power poles left live wires coiled on the ground. Single tree trunks stood alone and barren, resembling matchsticks, as they had been striped of all branches and leaves. Multiple emergency response teams worked at the scene as they systematically moved between homes in search of survivors. Neighbors and response teams were frantically trying to take a head count to help discover any missing individuals. Paramedics, with the aid of volunteers, placed the wounded on gurneys to be evacuated to the Fallon Medical Complex. Person-

Law enforcement issued a call to all surrounding area first response teams for mutual assistance. Over 70 personnel arrived at the scene from the surrounding tri-state area, including from the communities of Plevna, Ekalaka, and Wibaux, Mont., Ludlow, S.D, Marmarth, Rhame, Bowman and Beach.

The aftermath

Soon after the first touch down, local sirens began to sound a second alarm, warn-

ing the public of two more impending tornados. Many took shelter in basements, bathrooms or public fallout

Sheriff ’s Department stayed on an additional two days to assist with continued security and to begin the massive cleanup. Bryce Martin, Bowman County Pioneer editor, contributed to this report.
