Sewer break forces restrictions on sewer use for portion of city

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A portion of the city of Bowman is back in the all-too-familiar “red zone” as of June 12 after a major sewer break occurred south of the Bowman City Park.

Homes and businesses in the “red zone”—an area from Highway 85 west through Eighth Av-

enue—were asked by the city to limit their sewer use “unless absolutely necessary” until further notice.

Residents in the zone were asked to refrain from flushing toilets, washing clothing, using a dishwasher and anything else that would require sewer use.

The restriction came at a busy time for the city as the North Dakota High School Rodeo Finals were held in Bowman from Fri-

day to Sunday. According to the "red zone" map, however, the fairgrounds and local motels remained unaffected.

Bill Mason, city water and sewer supervisor, was at the scene of the break the morning of June 12 and told the Pioneer that it was similar to November’s break, and only one block from that same location.

Cameras navigating through the city’s sewer lines to locate potential disruptions hit an area of muddy water in that area of the line several weeks ago, according to Mason. As the city prepared to clean out the site, it

began to back up.

A break was soon after discovered.

“It’ll be a mess,” Mason said of the sewer line’s fix.

While there is no definite timeline for repair, Mason said crews began working to pump

Antique car’s Marmarth origin shrouded in mystery

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A little, red roadster provided a glimpse into Marmarth’s history for a California man late last year. But its story is somewhat convoluted.

Tony Colombini is an avid fan of both history and cars. His job as director of Blacktop Media Network gives him the opportunity to meld his two passions. He also runs Blacktop Depot Vintage Auto and Cycle Memorabilia in Orange County, Calif., which had its grand opening Wednesday.

So when he randomly came across a small, rouge-colored roadster that looked as if it had just driven out of an old, black-and-white TV show, his interest was piqued.

“At first we thought it was a prop car for the movie industry. ... I want-

NEWS BRIEFS Farmers Union submits 21,000 signatures North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) submitted just over 21,000 signatures Monday to Secretary of State Al Jaeger to refer a newly-passed law that would allow corporations to buy, rent or lease farmland in North Dakota for dairy and swine operations.

The law, SB 2351, provides an exemption from the state’s corporate farming ban.

“This was truly a grassroots effort. We had more than 250 volunteers collecting signatures around the state in a short 90-day window,” said Mark Watne, NDFU president. He said a number of cooperatives, organizations and businesses supported the farm organization’s effort by allowing petition carriers at storefronts and events.

NDFU had until Thursday to submit 13,452 qualified signatures to stop the law from taking effect Aug. 1. If Jaeger approves the petition, voters will weigh in at the ballot box in June 2016.

Money available for organic cert costs Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said that applications are now being accepted for reimbursement of organic certification costs through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Certification Cost Share Program for fiscal year 2015.

Certification assures consumers that products are produced by recognized organic methods. Certification enables organic producers and processors to label and sell their products with a federal organic seal. Such products typically command a higher price in the marketplace.

Applicants must provide a 2015 cost share application form, a copy of a dated certificate or letter from a certifier verifying certification between Oct. 1, 2014 and Sept. 30, 2015, an itemized statement showing payment between October 1, 2014 and Sept. 30, 2015, and a completed IRS W-9 Form for new applicants.

Applications must be submitted by November 16, 2015.

Applicants who are certified by International Certification Services or the Organic Crop Improvement Association Chapter 1 should apply for reimbursement through the certifier. These organizations certify most North Dakota organic producers. All other producers should contact Emily Edlund at the North Dakota Department of Agriculture at 701-328-2191 or edlund@nd.gov.

Demolition derby to be held ahead of county fair

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net One of the Bowman County Fair's most popular events will be held two weeks before the fair this year.

The demolition derby attracts a large turnout each year during the fair but in order for the Bowman County Fair Board to add a new event, the derby had to be rescheduled.

June 28 is the new date for the demolition derby, scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the fairgrounds.

This year the fair board is trying something new with the addition of a truck or pickup pull, a popular staple to many county fairs across the nation.

A truck pull is a motorsport competition that requires trucks to pull a heavy sled along a 35-foot-wide, 330-foot-long track, with the winner being the vehicle that pulls the sled the farthest.

The sport is known as the world's most powerful motorsport.

The truck pull is scheduled for 1 p.m. July 11 during the fair.

the manholes the night the break happened and crews to dewater the area would be at the site late this week.

The massive break at the end of last year left residents with extremely limited sewer use for more than a month while crews were unsure of how to remedy the situation. That break now gives the city a better idea of how this fix will go, Mason said.

While last year’s break was located on the southeast section of the park, the current break runs through a residential area.

The break occurred on the same line as last year’s but on a portion at the south end of the alley on Second Street Southwest between Highway 85 and Second Avenue Southwest.

The area will have to be dug up and dewatered, according to Mason, as it is the only way it can be fixed. He said he hopes crews will be able to avoid digging up nearby yards, but there is currently no certainty.

At Tuesday’s Bowman City Commission regular meeting, Mason updated the commissioners on the problem—though, he said, there wasn’t much new information.

Homes in the "red zone" are marked in red.

The site has already been dug about 7 feet down and would progress once dewatering crews arrive, which he said should happen Thursday or Friday.

Similar to last year’s break, a Montana-Dakota Utilities power pole is situated in the area and would need to be remedied before crews could begin. Mason said MDU would be on the scene likely next week.

“If everything falls into place, we’ll start working on it,” said Jon Brosz of Brosz Engineering.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Week 2 marks active time for weather mod

ROADSTER FROM PAGE 1

In his midst was a 1939 roadster that brought up a mound of questions taller than the car—he described the vehicle as the size of a Shriner car. “Maybe it was one,” he thought.

He did what most would do to find more information: he turned to the Internet.

His search, however, turned up nothing.

Colombini focused his attention back to the car itself.

Stuck on its front window was a Cardinal baseball sticker.

“Interesting…” he wrote.

On the back of the sticker, which was a bit torn and hard to discern, Colombini could make out a line but only part of its first word: “—atello’s Home Schedule 1941,” as it read.

His curiosity was further roused.

As he explained in his story, his first thought was that the sticker could mean the car was used by a high school mascot. Back online, Colombini did some research and found there was a Cardinals minor league baseball team out of Pocatello, Idaho in een 1941.

“Maybe a mascot car after all,” he surmised.

But then he found the smoking gun that would ultimately lead him to the Peace Garden State on his quest for answers.

There was a bit of writing on the wood frame around the car’s door— “Van Horn Antique Auto, Marmarth, North Dakota.”

He came one step closer to discovering the history of the vintage vehicle with a quick Google search for the museum. Alas, Colombini found that a man named JD Van Horn owned a car museum in Marmarth.

He wasted little time punching in the museum’s phone number in hopes of tracking down JD Van Horn. The phone rang continuously until a person on the other line picked up. It was Van Horn.

“I told him about the little, red roadster in the store window here in Ortrou-ange, Calif.,” Colombini t sidewrote in his article.

Van Horn asked if he could send him some phoident tos of the car to identify it. posias sheBut not by email, as Van mem-Horn said he “didn’t have solu-anything like that.” No, zone”Colombini would have to saidprint out some photos and her asend them via snail mail beenthe thousands of miles to watersmall-town Marmarth. ushes A week later, Colombini received a call back from posi-Van Horn. ith a It turned out that Van Horn, who owns the Unique Antique Car Museum in Marmarth, had worked on the vehicle extensively and hadn’t seen it in more than 20 years.

The last thing Van Horn remembered, as he told the Pioneer on Wednesday, is that his cousin had promised he was going to fix the car’s rear-end. But he never saw the car again until Colombini’s mailed the photos.

“I told him if he was to ever sell it, I would buy it back,” Van Horn told Colombini. “Well, he gave it up for some back-rent he owed and never put in the new rear-end.”

A week after speaking to Van Horn, Colombini received a card with a photo of Van Horn’s dog in the car. Inscribed was, “Thank you for letting me know where the little car went.”

More than meets the eye Colombini assumed that was the end of the story—somehow the car had made it from Van Horn’s cousin and into the vintage auction’s collection in California. But a phone call many months later, on

Tony Colombini thought he was onto something when he looked into the bit of paper stuck to the roadster's front window, but it was a ruse. He ultimately discovered the vehicle's origin story by following an inscription on the car's wooden bottom.

June 16, revealed a deeper mystery.

The Pioneer uncovered more to the story.

Merle Clark of Marmarth, a member of the Bowman Historical Society, had also recognized the roadster. He told the Pioneer on Wednesday that his wife saw it while browsing the Internet last week. He read Colombini’s article about the car and took pause.

“I owned the car in the late 1970s,” Clark said emphatically.

Colombini had written in his article that Van Horn said he was the one who originally built the car as a teenager in 1939. That would have made Van Horn, 78, about 2 years old when the car was built.

It didn’t add up.

Clark had an issue with Van Horn’s reported claim that he was the one who built the one-of-a-kind miniature roadster.

The car was sold by Clark to Van Horn in the late 1970s and had originally been purchased from the late Frank Hipsak of Dickinson. Clark owned the car for about six years.

The real story behind the car, according to Clark, was that it was built and garaged by a man that was drafted into the military during World War II. “He never returned,” Clark said.

The man’s name wasn’t known nor was his status after the war. Had the man died in battle, had he married and moved to the coast or had he simply no reason to return back home? That answer would likely never be known.

The roadster was left in storage and Hipsak acquired it in the 1950s, Clark explained.

Hipsak and any relatives have since passed away, along with any further answers to the mysterious first owner of the vehicle.

Clark and Van Horn have been good friends since 1972 but he didn’t want his former car going to auction with its backstory being exaggerated; Clark merely wanted its story to be factual.

He had lost contact with his car for about 40 years after selling it to Van Horn and it meant a lot to him.

The car was purchased

by Clark—with no wheels and no driveline—for his children to eventually drive. They were disappointed when it was sold.

When the Pioneer asked Van Horn about the roadster, he said he did not built it, though he worked on it over the years, and ultimately corroborated Clark’s account of its history. Despite the confusion, Van Horn said he was happy to hear of the car’s survival over the decades. Though he said he wished he had the opportunity to bid on it in auction.

The roadster was auctioned off June 17 at Blacktop Depot in Orange, Calif.

Revving up Marmarth's ample history Former Bowman County resident Bonnie Cormier told the Pioneer she found

the mystery of the roadster—albeit a small piece of Marmarth history—a good, timely jumping off point to attract attention to efforts for restoring the small yet historical town of Marmarth.

Cormier, who now lives in Oregon, described her ideas to revive the old Marmarth opera house, called Barber Auditorium, on her Facebook page last week in an attempt to gauge interest. It would be the first part of a largescale restoration effort for the town.

"Marmarth is filled with history," Cormier told the Pioneer.

The plan is to transform the opera house, which hosts events sporadically throughout the year, into a vibrant locale; its theme would take people back to the Roaring Twenties.

Cormier envisions the opera house turned into a place where there would be Black Jack and Texas Hold'em tables, patrons of which would be served by "flapper girls" straight from the 1920s era. The opera house would bolster tourism to the town by hosting a big-name concert each year.

"It might be a leap to restore," Cormier said, but she's already found several people interested in helping to organize efforts and make some headway on the project.

The hope is for the Marmarth Historical Society to lead the restoration on the town that has for decades served as a somewhat dimly lit beacon of southwest North Dakota's storied past.

Thunderstorms returned to southwestern North Dakota during the middle of last week and persisted through the weekend.

In the District 1 operations area, which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted operations for hail suppression, rain enhancement, and reconnaissance on June 10, 12, 13, and 14.

In all, 10 flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

An upper level lowpressure system over the Gulf of Alaska will

remain nearly stationary for most of this week and steer numerous disturbances across the northern Rockies and through North Dakota.

Below normal temperatures and wet conditions can be expected with this weather pattern.

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.

Mellmer wins State FFA Award Damon Mellmer, a graduate of Scranton High School, used his supervised agricultural experience to earn him top honors.

Oil sunflowers are rotated with wheat and durum on Mellmer’s f a m i l y farm near Reeder.

It is his i n v o l v e - MELLMER ment with this production and his other skills that recently earned him the 2015 Fiber/Oil Crop Production Proficiency award at the North Dakota State FFA Convention.

Mellmer also had the honor of being recognized as one of the top Stars in Agribusiness, awarded to seniors who have earned their state degree and met numerous qualifications as an FFA member.

In addition to oil crop production, Mellmer and his family purchased a grain cleaner from an old elevator and a trailer and started his own seed cleaning business.

He said his biggest chal-

lenge as a grain cleaner is estimating how much grain he will clean in a year. This experience has proven his abilities to assist with the day-today operations and production and management decisions of his family’s farm.

Mellmer is active in all aspects of the farm, from seeding to harvesting.

His future goals are to attend NDSCS in Wapheton and earn a degree in construction management this fall. Mellmer has been very active in the Scranton FFA Chapter as he past vice president and part of the Ag Sales CDE team.

The son of Heidi and Mike Mellmer, Mellmer's FFA advisor is Misty Steeke. The state sponsor of this award is the ND Soybean Council, and the national sponsors are Bunge North America and Miracle Whip & Planters.

STORY BY BRYCE MARTIN | PIONEER EDITOR

The 2015 North Dakota als High School Rodeo Fin

ach year in June the city of Bowman lights up with the spectacular talent of the state's young rodeo stars as they compete in the North Dakota High School Rodeo Finals.

Held June 11 to 14 this year at the Bowman County Fairgrounds, over 100 teenagers roused the interest of spectators and kept the audience on the edge as they made their way through several different rodeo categories: reined cow horse, team roping, tie down roping, saddle bronc, steer wrestling, goat tying, breakaway roping, boys' and girls' cow cutting, bull riding, bareback riding and pole bending.

The top four scoring contestants in each category (see the results on the next page) head to Rock Springs, Wyo., next month to represent North Dakota in the national high school rodeo finals.

This year five Bowman County students competed in the high school rodeo—Tel Lardy, Sarah Freitag and Cole Schmalz of Bowman, and Jesse Olind and Sterling Lee of Rhame.

It was a bittersweet moment for several Bowman County parents as they got to see their child compete in their final high school rodeo. Lardy and Freitag, who graduated from Bowman County High School last month, said farewell to the fairgrounds in their last go-round.

Of the five Bowman County participants, Olind will join three other competitors in saddle bronc as they compete to win nationals. Olind had an individual final standing of 91 points in this year's saddle bronc, placing first in the category.

While the main focus is on the contestants—who finally got to utilize the newly renovated grandstands since the weather cooperated this year—there's more to the rodeo, which is hosted each year by the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce. Multiple vendors and concession stands lined the Dakota Winds Arena for those not glued to the action in the arena.

Chamber board members and their community counterparts worked together tirelessly to make the event possible. Their hard work and dedication to providing a first-class rodeo environment for the youth and their families and friends isn't always seen first-hand but is always noticed as the event goes on without a hitch, well, except when talking about loading the horses back into their trailers for the ride home.

O pinion LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Congrats to 2015 girls' golf team I would like to congratulate the Bowman County Girls’ Team, and coaches, on a nice season and a great showing at the State Meet held in Jamestown, this year.

Your 10th place finish was very respectable! It is very pleasing to see the girls’ tradition of qualifying for the State Meet, as a team, year in and year out. The Bowman County Girls’ Team has qualified to compete at the State Meet seven times in the last nine years. And in 2012, the girls’ team placed 3rd at the State Meet, the highest finish in school history.

It is so rewarding to see these young ladies reach their yearly goals because of their hard work and dedication to the sport of golf. Golf is unique because it is an individual sport but yet the team concept comes into play

also. And it is a game that you can play for the rest of your life.

Kaitlyn Hill needs special recognition for her great accomplishment this year. Kaitlyn finished in 6th place, at the State Meet in Jamestown.

That is another Bowman County record for the highest finish in a State Golf Meet by a Bowman County girl. She passes Mariah Lockert, who finished in 7th place in 2011. This has to be quite special for Kaitlyn because she wasn’t able to play golf, last year, due to a knee injury she had in basketball.

Kaitlyn just completed her junior year and has next year to improve on that impressive 6th place finish at this year’s State Meet. She should be a top contender in Region 5, next year, again. And I’m sure she has her sights on next year’s State Meet.

Once again, “my hat’s off” to these young ladies for keeping Bowman County on the “golf map” in North Dakota. I will always be your biggest fan!

- Don Groll, retired Bowman County Golf Coach

Say Anything By Rob Port Guest Columnist

Over the past year one of North Dakota’s most prominent and highest paid public officials has presided over a revolt from his customers and employees, a costly bailout of a supposedly private foundation, and an ugly brawl with the former head of an affiliated organization that now headed to litigation.

Yet, despite this not-atall exhaustive list of problems, this public official got a glowing and thoroughly uncritical review from his superior.

How can that be?

University of North Dakota President Robert Kelley announced his resignation recently after the better part of a decade at the helm of the state’s oldest institution. Kelley claims his departure has nothing to do with a near-miss vote of no confidence from the student government earlier this year, or a less-thanflattering survey of UND employees released at the same time he made his announcement.

This claim is a little hard to believe.

Kelley will step down on January 14, 2016, which is five and a half months before his very lavish contract is up. Kelley is making $350,265 per year, or $29,188.75 per month. Leaving early would presumably see Kelley leaving behind over $160,000 in salary.

Assuming he doesn’t get some sort of a golden

parachute separation agreement. After all, former Chancellor Hamid Shirvani hasn’t been on the job for two years and he’s still collecting his six-figure salary from the taxpayers.

But I digress.

Kelley leaving in January as opposed to June 30, 2016, would have him missing the spring commencement.

You’d think a university president leaving on good terms would want his last $160,000, not to mention the opportunity to preside over one last graduation ceremony.

But Kelley is most certainly not leaving his post on good terms.

The UND Student Senate was ready to pass a resolution calling for Kelley’s resignation, along with many of his top staff, before the two sides reached an agreement calling for a better working relationship. And just as Kelley was announcing his resignation the UND employees weighed in with a survey that, while not specifically a vote of no confidence, could certainly be seen that way.

Of the 47 percent of UND employees who took the anonymous survey some 54 percent said Kelley’s office is “not at all” or “not very” transparent, 43 percent said Kelley’s office is “not at all” or “not very” open, and 35 percent said they have no confidence in Kelley’s office with another 23 percent saying they are “neutral.”

Kelley’s hand-picked provost, Thomas DiLorenzo, got even poorer marks.

We can keep going with Kelley’s laundry list of poor performance, too.

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Hello, In our corner of the Dakotas, we have been blessed with nice rains this spring. Crops are looking good. Grass is looking good. And the hay, although spotty, is pretty darn good. I guess a late frost, or maybe lack of sunshine slowed some of it. But the weevils are enjoying what alfalfa there is. But, by and large, if you watch the flooding in Texas and the drought in California, we’ve got it pretty dang good.

I suppose some of you readers can remember your youth when you would get a rainy stretch like this. Too wet to farm, ride, or fence. Too wet for mom to be in the garden.

The shop was cleaned up so the day was spent straightening nails. Really. Straightening old nails out so they could be used again. This is a nail straightening rain!

I know I’ve told you of wet roundups before, but dang, it’s hard not think of them when you get days like this. Once the

HAT TIPS is generously sponsored by the following businesses:

roundup had started you went every day. Kind of like the postman. “Neither rain nor sleet nor hail”, you know. Only lack of funding will stop the U.S. Mail. But that’s another story.

On roundups you dress like a cowboy. Hat screwed on tight. Neckerchief on. Slicker tied behind the saddle. Catch rope coiled up and ready to pull down. Copenhagen in your pocket, or maybe a pack of Pall Malls. Shotgun, chinks, or batwing chaps buckled on. Like Gil Favor on Rawhide. “Head ‘em up!

Move ‘em out!” Dang I miss those good shows.

Anyway, once the roundup started, Grandpa Jack wasn’t going to weaken and call a day off. You would meet at daylight, get sent on a circle, and push cattle towards the spot where you would hold herd and cut for brands later that day. Jack would send small groups of riders in each direction. “You and Red head up to the Kennedy Hills. Drop down by the Smith Camp and come down the creek.

You three ride the flat above Yellow Wolf’s and bring those cattle down the road. Two of you lope over to the Hills in the Beef pasture and push those cattle north. We’ll

This and That By Josephine Kaczmarek

Doris Fischer and Joann White attended the Methodist Luncheon on Thursday and enjoyed the good food and the fellowship.

We had a rodeo in town last weekend; those taking the time to go to it were Eunice Ruggles,

Marge Tivis and Bernie Ratzlaff. They enjoyed it a lot.

My visitors this week were Bud Hetland, Theresa Berg, Ada Heinrich and Betty Peterson.

On Thursday James Fischer went to Rapid City to pick up his sister Cindy Vitter. She had just arrived from Florida.

He also picked up his brother Steven from Rapid and will spend a few days with his mom Doris. Also, Cindy will spend about ten days visiting his brother James

hold herd at Doug’s corrals.” And he would line out the dozen or more riders and you would take off at a long trot. Rain or shine.

When the herd was gathered, Grandpa Jack would start cutting the One Bars out. Well, actually Jack would start before the herd was gathered. He and his horse “Joey” would start cutting those One Bars out about a half-mile from the herd.

And we had to whip and spur to keep the things kind of gathered up as Jack was cutting pairs off to the side.

Then you would hold herd. Sometimes for hours. And there were times you would sit and hold herd in a rain like this. Your horse would turn his tail to the wind and you didn’t mind at all. Pull your slicker up tight and tilt your hat so the rain dripping off the back didn’t run down your neck. Trot over to another cowboy and see if he has a dry match or some fresh chew. Eventually, the rain would get through that slicker and your gloves would be soaked and you would start to stand up in your stirrups to see if you could see smoke from Uncle Hugh’s dinner fire.

You could usually see it for miles! He had a big

and Denise. On Sunday, James took Steven back to Rapid. Cindy went along for the ride.

Ada’s son Michael and his wife Myra from Colorado Springs, Colorado, left for home on Saturday.

They had been here visiting Ada for a few days.

She enjoyed this visit very much.

One day last week we had a baby Billy goat and three bum lambs visit us. They belonged to the Wolbaum family. Parker,

old furnace grate welded to four pieces of pipe.

He would take a sledge and pound that thing into the ground a little to kind of level it up. Then he would slide a half dozen ash or oak posts underneath it and stick his propane-branding torch into that wood and light her up. In a jiffy, he had a couple big skillets covered with shortening melting and coffee boiling. And he would start making those burgers (we called them handy andy burgers cause he never took off his handy andy cotton gloves while making patties). And I suppose it maybe wasn’t sanitary, but he had that skillet hot enough it damn sure killed any germs! And if you’ve been sitting holding herd in a cold rain, you will never taste a better meal in your life.

You can tell I’m a good eater. I’ve eaten in some fine restaurants across the country and even in a few other countries. But I can tell you this. There will never be anything as good as cowboy coffee, handy andy burgers, pork and beans, pickles, and a Hershey bar for dessert on a cold and rainy day.

You enjoy the rain. I’m going to straighten nails.

Later, Dean

Blake and Caydon were very pleased to show them off. We enjoyed seeing them. The bums were only two weeks old.

One was black, one white and one white with a black head.

Sunday afternoon they had resident bingo.

Some played cards afterwards.

Emily Wanek stopped to see me. She told me all about her goats, sheep and especially horses and kittens. She had just sold eleven goats. She is a real busy girl.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

OBITUARIES

Stanley Laufer, 58

without Bev at his side. He loved spending time with his grandkids, giving them tractor and four-wheeler rides, and giving in to whatever else they wanted. Stan is survived by his loving wife Bev and his six children; Frank (Joy), Dustin (Shanda), Michael, Julie (Cory Hammond), Paige, and Benjamin; his five grandchildren; Oscar, Tyla, Brock, Axyl, and Bryce; as well as his father Earl and three sisters; Kate Sickler, Karen Matter, and Diane St. Germain. He is preceded in death by his mother, Liv. Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Services of Bowman in charge of the arrangements.

Stanley J. Laufer, 58, of Hettinger passed away on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at the West River Regional Medical Center in Hettinger.

Mass of Christian Burial was at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 12, 2015 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Hettinger. Rev. Stephan Folorunso celebrated the Mass with burial to follow in the Hettinger Cemetery. There was a Rosary and Vigil service for Stanley on Thursday, June 11, 2015 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church beginning at 6:30 p.m. Visitation was on Thursday, June 11, 2015 from 3 p.m. until the Rosary at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

He was born June 13, 1956 to Earl and Liv (Sather) Laufer in Hettinger.

Stan was second of four children. He was raised north of Hettinger on the family farm. He attended the Cedar Township Country School until the 8th grade and then went on to graduate from Hettinger Public School. He completed one year of college at NDSCS in Wahpeton for Diesel Mechanics. He married the love of his life, Beverley (Miller) Laufer on Oct. 20, 1978. The next few years of Stan and Bev’s life were dedicated to raising their six kids, who he was very proud of. Together, Stan and Bev started a very successful Vermeer Haying Equipment dealership and continued to farm and ranch with their children.

Through their hard work, they were awarded several national awards for their equipment and part sales.

Stan adored his wife, children, and his grandchildren, and was never seen

Edith Teske, 86 Edith H. Teske, 86, of Rapid City, S.D., formerly of Scranton, passed away on June 9, 2015 at the Fountain Springs Care Center in Rapid City.

Funeral Services for Edith were at 2 p.m. on Friday, June 12, 2015 at the Peace Lutheran Church in Scranton. Pastor Galen Strand officiated with burial to follow in the Scranton Cemetery.

Edith was born on Oct. 7, 1928 to Magdalena and Julius Ziebarth on the home farm in Scranton. She graduated from Scranton High School in 1946. She continued her education at Miles City Presentation School of Nursing before moving to Hettinger to work at the new hospital in 1950.

She was married to Kenneth Jagim in December 1950 at Peace Lutheran Church in Scranton, ND. They raised their family of five children: Roger, Ryan, Karla, Ross and Rusel. In 1958 they moved to Fargo because Ken had been diagnosed with Multiple

Sclerosis; he passed away in 1966 in Fargo. Edith worked at the Fargo Nursing Home as the Director of Nursing where she met Donald C Jamieson. They were married in Jackson Hole, Wyo., in 1973. Don Jamieson passed away in 1981. Edith retired from the Fargo Nursing Home and moved back to Scranton to marry Gordon Teske in August 1987.

She and Gordon were busy with “retired” farming, church, community, kids and grandkids. They enjoyed being snowbirds and traveling to Arizona for the winter months. Gordon passed away in 2011. She then transitioned to assisted care at Echo Ridge in Rapid City and then moved to Fountain Springs Healthcare. She passed away on June 9, 2015 surrounded by her family.

Edith’s love and care was reflected not only in being a nurse but in opening her home and heart for family and friends in need. Her faith in God and her courage and determination helped her cope with her losses and health challenges in her life. Her passion was her family, and she enjoyed nothing better than watching her children and grandchildren in their varied activities. She enjoyed being surrounded by family and friends and there was always room around the table for one more. We are challenged to carry on her values of faith, family and

friends. She will be greatly missed. Edith is survived

by Roger (Susan) Jagim, Ryan (Julie) Jagim, Karla (Jim) Miller, Ross (Gina) Jagim, Rusel (Becky) Jagim, Georgia (Jim) Lundquist, Gary (Jeanine) Teske, Bonnie (Zane) Anderson, Tom (Marlene) Teske, Mike (Carla) Teske, 26 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Edith is preceded in death by her parents, husbands: Kenneth, Don and Gordon; brothers: Dennis and Carl; and sisters: Bernalda, Eugenie, Zelda and Erna. Family requests that memorials be given to Badlands Ministries in Medora.

Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Services of Bowman in charge of the arrangements.

Signe Kulas, 105 Signe Kulas passed away on April 14, 2015. She had recently celebrated her 105th birthday with family and friends. Her long life was a model of patience and contentment for all who had the honor of knowing her.

Signe was born to Anne and Olaf Greni on their homestead in Grand River Township, southwest of Bowman, on Feb. 4, 1910. She was the second child in a family of seven children. She completed elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse, graduated from Bowman High School with the

Class of 1927, and earned her teaching certificate at Dickinson Teachers’ College.

Signe taught in the same one room schoolhouse that she studied in and then also in Langdon and later in Bowman. One of the highlights of her 100th birthday celebration was being remembered, both in person and with cards, by many of her former students. She was a lifelong learner and loved to read.

Signe married Marion F. Kulas in 1933, and the couple had three children: Patricia, Alan and Linda.

Signe and Marion were married for 67 years and lived for most of those years in the house they built in Bowman. Signe enjoyed gardening, feeding the birds, and fishing, but most of all spending time with Marion and her extended family. She was a member of the Bowman Lutheran Church.

Signe is survived by her children Patricia (Donald) DeBode, Alan, and Linda Gwinn, seven grandchildren Debra (Dale Pickard) DeBode, Douglas (Sandy) DeBode, Gary (Archie Gottesman) DeBode, Sherrie (Dave) Mojica, David (Anita) Gwinn, Kevin (Ligia) Braun, and Shelley (Robert) Miller, and 14 great-grandchildren Anders Knospe, Christopher,

Jason and Bradley DeBode, Lilli, Sophie and Ella Gottesman-DeBode, Jesse and Alex Mojica, Spencer Gwinn, Derek Braun, and Signe, Logan and Jackson Miller. She also leaves behind many dear nieces and nephews.

Signe was preceded in death by her husband Marion, her parents Olaf and Anne, siblings Lillie (Charlie) Wokal, Oscar (Thelma), Alvin (Hope), Ole (Lyla), John (Dorrace) and Carl (Margaret) Greni, son-in-law Terry Gwinn, and granddaughter Kimberly Braun. Signe has been buried in the Bowman Cemetery next to Marion Kulas. A memorial service will be held at the Bowman Lutheran Church on Monday, June 22 at 10:30am.

Memorials are suggested to the Bowman Lutheran Church or the Bowman Meals on Wheels.

residents.

The City of Bowman routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2014 . As authorized and approved by EPA, the state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data, though representative, is more than one year old.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800426-4791) The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land, or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil production, mining or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also, come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons, such as, persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/ Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

In the following table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we’ve provided the following definitions: Abbreviations: Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (μg/l)- parts per billion or micrograms per liter; Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - parts per million or milligrams per liter Parts per trillion (ppt) – parts per trillion or nanograms per liter Not Applicable (NA) Non Detected (ND) Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.

Action Level (AL)- the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Maximum Contaminant Level - The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal The “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is nec-

We want to keep you informed about the excellent water and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Our water source is from the Foxhill and Hell Creek Aquifer. We have five (5) wells with depths from 1050’to 1150’.

Community water systems are required to fully inform citizens about the source and quality of their drinking water; however, events since September 11, 2001 also required that disclosure of public information does not threaten the security of water systems.

The City of Bowman is participating in North Dakota’s Wellhead Protection Program. Copies of the Wellhead Protection Program plan and other relevant information regarding this program can be obtained from the City Auditor during normal office hours.

Our public water system, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, has completed the delineation and contaminant/ land use inventory elements of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on the information from these elements, The North Dakota Department of Health has determined that our source water is not likely susceptible to potential contaminants.

“I’m pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets federal and state requirements”, said Bill Mason, water superintendent.

This report shows our water quality and what it means. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Bill Mason at 701-523-5771. . We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility.

If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of every month at the Bowman City Hall at 4:00 PM. If you are aware of non-English speaking individuals who need help with the appropriate language translation, please call City Hall at 701-5233309.

The City of Bowman would appreciate it if large volume water customers would please post copies of this Annual Drinking Water Quality Report in conspicuous locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and/or employees, so individuals who consume the water, but do not receive a water bill can learn about our water system.

We will make a “Good Faith” effort for this report to be available to all

If anyone has issues or concerns, they are welcome to come to the June 2nd meeting to voice their concerns.

MDU: MDU Resources Grant: Regan Brilz and Jake Zettles talked about possible uses for a grant that MDU provides. Brilz explained there is no set percentages for project cost sharing and gave examples of grant possibilities such as police cars, fire fighter vehicles, and buildings.

Service Area Agreement: Brilz and Zettle explained that they felt it was a good idea to have a service area agreement so certain areas would be designated for Slope Electric and MDU. It provides less confusion between the two providers and makes growth orderly. It allows MDU to grow and keep rates low for customers.

Currently they have agreements with Bismarck, Mandan, Dickinson, Williston, Watford City, Kenmare, and Stanley. It helps with their planning future development for them. If the commission agrees to do this, Slope

Electric and MDU hash out the details and there is no cost to do this for the City. When it’s approved with the city, then it goes to the public service commission for approval. They would coordinate the agreement with the City land use plan. The law doesn’t allow the providers to cross over the others service line. Each company would keep their existing customers and then they decide what other territories to take.

James suggested putting it on the next agenda and think about this agreement for a while. This agreement has nothing to do with natural gas, it is strictly electricity.

RYAN Tree Ordinance: 1st Reading of Ordinance #2015-1(MC) An ordinance amending Chapter 3, Article 2 “Use and Care of Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places of the municipal code.

James gave the first reading of the tree ordinance and will give the second reading at the June 2 meeting.

This proposed ordinance will be placed on the website and on Facebook. Motion by West second by Whitney to approve the first reading of the Tree Ordinance #2015-1 (MC).

RCV= all aye, MC. Developer’s Agreement: This document is an addendum to the city zoning ordinance as a supplement, it’s not codified.

Ryan asked the commission for a decision on the impact fees. The commission felt they should have $500 per unit impact fees for police services and $500 per unit for Ambulance Services in the developer’s agreement template. Limesand will talk to the executive committee at the Fire Department to see if there is something they can add for fire protection.

Present: Darren Limesand, Mike Sondeland, Darrell West, Chuck Whitney, Chuck Headley, Peggy Allen, Bill Mason, Todd Hofland, Bryce Martin and Jon Brosz.

Absent: Lyn James Vice-President Sondeland called the meeting to order at 9:30 am. Sondeland stated the special meeting was called to discuss city projects. There are no decisions that need to be made; Brosz is just keeping the commission updated on the progress of current projects.

BROSZ: 11th Avenue Project: We are replacing the 4” waterline in the frontage road from Jim Peters Trucking shop to 11th Ave SW and north on 11th Ave to the north edge of the trailer court. On 11th Ave and Divide we are adding storm sewer and gate valves. Brosz Engineering tied the 11th Ave and 3rd Ave NE water main project together in hopes of getting a better price. Bids will be opened on June 15 and brought to the commission on June 16th. Due to the location of the utility services on the 11th Ave. project, Brosz would like to have a meeting with the utility companies and the commission to try and come to a solution.

The 11th Avenue street rebuild project will be bid around the middle of

LegaLs July. Sidewalks have been added on the east side of the street. The street lights will have to be moved as they may be in the way of curb and gutter that is being added. There are two or three houses that have Slope Electric services that will probably be rerouted from another service line.

There is also a gas line south of Divide that is only 1” below the surface that could be an issue.

Sewer Issues: While videoing the sewers there were two areas that were found to have serious issues.

On the 84th block there is a four foot break in a resident’s yard which is about 11 to 11 ½ feet down. There a lot of challenges to get to it. Brosz talked with Justin Kruger and he is going to look at it and give Brosz suggestions. They may have to dewater it first before any work can be completed.

On the 85th block alley between 8th and 9th Avenue there is a full section of sewer pipe that is missing the top of the pipe, currently the ground is holding it up so sewage can flow through. As long as it doesn’t cave in, slip lining should fix it. There are a lot of utility services in the way that cause a lot challenges in the repairs needed. There is also another section a little further down the alley that has a large break which is 12’deep.

Brosz plans on speaking with the property owners as soon as he has an idea of how the city can fix the problems.

The commission held discussion about starting to budget for future videoing and slip lining the city sewers.

Brosz will be at the next city commission meeting to give any updates he may have on these projects.

Future Bowman wrestlers learn skills at 'champion camp'

By Cole Benz

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net For the longest time Hettinger fell short on opportunities for wrestlers who wanted to fine tune their skills during the summer months.

But 25 years ago Randy Burwick changed that and offered his first twoday mini camp for the local kids.

After a quarter of a century, the camp has grown significantly and currently attracts wrestlers from the all around.

On June 10 and 11, Bur-

ND A N I STOP Y OUR N! TR CHICKE PS M A H C

wick’s Camp of Champions took place at the Hettinger school.

When Burwick first opened the doors to his camp, he had 29 local kids sign up. This past week Burwick saw 81 kids walk through the door. The camp, which includes kids as young as six and as old as 18, has Burwick and guest clinicians teaching both technique and endurance to the wrestlers.

Burwick said the main objectives is to get the kids the knowledge to achieve their wrestling goals. They are taught detailed maneuvers and

they are shown, according to Burwick, what it takes to succeed.

Burwick himself knows exactly what it takes to succeed. He is a twotime North Dakota State Champion, a three-time NAIA All-American, NAIA National Champion and a five-time AAU National Champion. If that wasn’t enough, Burwick has quite a coaching resume’ that includes multiple Regional Coach of the Year awards and two North Dakota Coach of the Year awards in 1996 and 2000. He has also coached 19 state champions.

After the camp started to grow, Burwick said he wanted to get some outside teachers in to help.

Finding a North Dakota wrestler who had success at the college level was always his goal. This year the camp featured Evan Forde who is the head coach at Minot State University and Chris Nelson who coaches at Moorhead State University of Minnesota in Moorhead, Minn.

The camp is not broken up into different age groups. Everyone there is lectured on the same maneuvers at the same time, no matter what. Though

Burwick said some techniques need to be adjusted for the younger participants, they still like to keep everyone together and engaged.

Though wrestlers from Hettinger and the surrounding communities participated, Burwick said he had athletes from all over the state and even further sign up.

South Dakota had some representatives and a few came from as far as Sioux City, Iowa.

Burwick has seen some of his camp attendees reach high levels. He has had a few wrestlers compete and achieve ac-

colades at the Division I college level. He has also seen over 30 state champions come through the camp doors.

Burwick said this camp was a success.

“I felt like it was an awesome camp this year,” Burwicks said. “I thought the kids did a great job, they stayed focus, (and) worked hard for two days, it was awesome.”

Burwick also had some assistance off the mat.

Donna Thomason fed lunch to the boys both days and the Hettinger Pin Club has also given support to the camp.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

OPINION

SKOL!: The Vikings Vine For the third installment of my positional breakdowns, I’ll be covering the wide receivers.

Even after the Minnesota Vikings traded for speedy receiver Mike Wallace, there were plenty of people who thought the Vikings should draft a wide receiver early in the draft.

While there were many quality receivers to look at in the draft, I personally think there were more pressing areas of concern that should have been (and were) addressed in the draft. With another year of Norv Turner and Teddy Bridgewater, not to mention the return of Adrian Peterson, it is time to truly find out how good the receivers can be.

The Starters: Mike Wallace and Charles Johnson.

By Jordan Wright

Mike Wallace was brought in to be the number one receiver for the Vikings after putting up an average of 62.5 receptions, 972 yards, 15.6 YPC (yards per catch), and 7.8 touchdowns over the last six seasons. For reference sake, the Vikings haven’t had a receiver put up those number since Brett Favre was throwing to Sidney Rice back in the 2009 season. Charles Johnson was signed in the middle of last season from Cleveland’s practice

squad and only started six games, but he put up solid numbers and has given fans plenty of reasons to be excited about his potential.

The Depth: Cordarrelle Patterson, Jarius Wright, Stefon Diggs.

Patterson had an excellent rookie season in 2013, making the Pro Bowl as a return specialist. Unfortunately, he had a subpar sophomore campaign and lost his starting spot half way through the season. This is his third year, which is usually when receivers put it all together, so look for Patterson to have a good season and give the Vikings a legitimate three headed monster at wide receiver.

Wright is entering his fourth season in the NFL

and is a solid contributor, capable of making tough catches and gaining yards after the catch. Diggs was one of the best players in the nation in High School, but injuries in college never allowed him to seize his true potential. He was predicted to go anywhere between the second and fourth round of the draft, so he was a steal in the fifth round.

While he won’t see much time on the field during games this season (barring injury), he has lots of potential and could make a serious impact in the future.

On the Bubble: Adam Thielen, DaVaris Daniels, Donte Foster, Isaac Fruechte, Jordan Leslie, Gavin Lutman It really all comes down

to whether the Vikings decide to keep five wide receivers or six. If the Vikings keep just five receivers on the roster, all of these players will be cut.

If the Vikings decide to keep six receivers, the nod here goes to Thielen who has been with the team for two years and has been able to step in and contribute if needed.

The rules of placing a player on the practice squad are complex, but it’s my understanding that Thielen isn’t eligible, so the only way for him to continue his career with the Vikings is to make the active roster. The rest of the receivers (Daniels, Foster, Fruechte, Leslie and Lutman) all seem like training camp bodies to

me, but if one or two of them really impress during training camp, they could be invited to the practice squad.

I believe the Vikings have more depth at wide receiver than they have had for a long time, and I am truly excited to see what they can do this season.

There is always a chance things could go wrong and the Vikings will be in the market for a receiver next offseason, but if everything goes right the Vikings could have one of the better receiving corps in the league, and that’s not even touching on the tight ends (which I’ll be covering next week) who play a vital part in the passing game.

bowmanextra.com

THE LONG ROAD HOME: Sparks' journey comes to end The more than 2,000mile journey halfway across the United States is finished for Syd Sparks and his ride-mate, Stephen Roise.

Finishing on the banks of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, the duo ended in the Badger State on June 13, 31 days after they left the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Washington.

Overall, they logged 2,377 miles.

“It feels great,” Sparks said. “It’s kind of funny being finished because I really did enjoy the trip, part of me would like to just keep going to the east coast.”

Roise said he couldn’t believe how fast it went, and added that the weather was very cooperative the last week, which helped as they were approaching the finish line.

Sparks said it was an adjustment, getting up on the morning of June 14 and not slipping into his riding gear and hopping on his bicycle, but he’s adjusting.

“It’s definitely an abrupt ending,” Sparks said.

During a nearly 2,500mile journey, Sparks said they encountered many interesting feats. For one, they had planned the trip based on the prevailing westerly winds. Unfortunately when they were on

the trip, they were riding with an east headwind the majority of the days.

Two of their longest days stretched 110 miles and 118 miles. A few were cut short based on their planned stops with a few others stretched out due to an available tailwind or unfavorable weather on the horizon.

Being able to ride from the west coast to Wisconsin was another interesting aspect, said Sparks.

They were able to see the vastly changing landscape from the west coast to the Midwest.

Through their trip, both said it was the relationships they made during the journey that they will treasure the most, but for Sparks, one other thing stood out.

“I think it was particularly very exciting to know that the miles that we were

putting on our bicycles were making a difference,” Sparks said. “Even as we were riding.”

ec As ial k f s E or ve ry da y

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net

Sparks and Roise were raising money for New Hope Uganda in hopes of building cabins and shower houses for the camp.

Unlike some fundraisers, where the money is donated in one lump sum at the end of the event, money was being sent to Uganda as it came in.

This allowed for construction to begin, even
