Aspiring Bowman musicians get mentoring from Perkins

Cell tower planned near residential area

Fourth Street, Third Avenue intersection eyed as possible site

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Plans for a telecommunications tower next to a residential area

within the city limits of Bowman will be up for discussion at a public hearing next month.

Bowman Zoning Administrator Cheryl Ryan told The Pioneer on

Wednesday that Design1 of Eden Prairie, Minn., on behalf of Verizon Communications, had submitted an application last week for a conditional use permit to construct a 100-foot, or taller, cellular tower.

The proposed site of the tower is at the southeast corner of the intersection between Fourth Street Northwest and Third Avenue West

in the city’s Northside Addition, directly south of the ball field.

Land in that space is zoned for commercial use, though it abuts a residential area.

Ultimately it is Ryan’s call to determine if the project fits into the commercial zone’s designated uses, but she said she had to be fair to the applicant when weighing the decision.

THE END OF A LEGACY

Ryan said there is still due diligence to complete prior to the public hearing, scheduled for 5:15 p.m. July 12 at Bowman City Hall, including a review of current federal legislation regarding the construction of such towers.

A phone message was left with the party that requested the permit, but was not returned by the time this story went to print.

No vote recount for city race

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

The primary election is officially over.

Bowman County’s Board of Canvassers met Monday to officiate the June 14 election results but had one lingering question to answer: would there be a recount for city commissioner?

Mindy Schumacher, deputy county auditor, said there would not be a recount, since it was not requested following the board’s meeting.

DALE’S CLOSING AFTER 43 YEARS

Smolnikars exit Main Street with storewide liquidation sale

t is difficult to picture Main Street without one of its largest anchor businesses, but that will be the reality when Dale’s Clothing in Bowman will close its doors next month.

“If we didn’t go now, we’d be here for another 12 years,” said Tana Smolnikar, who has owned Dale’s Clothing & Custom Embroidery together with her husband, Dave Smolnikar, for the last five years. The Smolnikars will close the business and begin the transition back to Tana’s hometown of Bozeman, Mont., in July.

Dale’s Clothing has grown to become one of the largest retail businesses on Main Street in Bowman since 1973 when former owner Dale Hochhalter first opened its doors. Over the decades the clothing and accessories retailer expanded to include a successful embroidery and screen-printing business.

BASEBALL: Blue Sox take big bite out of Baby Ruthers

Police: Car break-ins reported

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Two vehicles were broken into earlier this week in Bowman and the valuables inside were stolen, according to local police. They are reminding residents to keep vehicles locked and personal items out of view.

Bowman Police Chief Chuck Headley said Wednesday that one locked and one unlocked vehicle was illegally entered over the night of June 21 inside the Perma Home Trailer Court. The locked vehicle had its window busted out.

The vehicles were likely targeted because purses were in clear view, but electronics, personal items and credit cards were also stolen from the vehicles.

“Hopefully this isn’t a trend,” Headley said. “But people need to be mindful of where they put their items.”

Anyone with information related to these crimes or who notice anyone acting suspiciously should contact the Bowman Police Department at 701-523-5672.

IN BRIEF

Cloud seeding week 3 update

THIS WEEKEND

Be the b have nity porte and ing t fund “I comm here peop 41, s great A whel help sales ing. quick the busin that abou one l “I’ throu too.”

Thunderstorms occurred in southwestern North Dakota at the beginning and end of 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 13,14,17 and 18. In all, 7 flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

Temperatures should remain near normal this week across southwestern North Dakota with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s expected. Thunderstorms are most likely to occur this Tuesday and Friday through Saturday, coinciding with upper level weather systems moving through the region.

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.

June 19-25 declared Share the Road Safety Week Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed a proclamation this week for the second year in a row declaring the third week of June as North Dakota Share the Road Safety Week. During the week the state encourages safe driving practices among all road users and reminds motorists, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians that together they must share the road.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation would like to remind travelers that all have responsibilities when it comes to safely sharing the road and encourages motorists and bicyclists to follow a few safety tips.

In addition to pedestrians and bicyclists, motorists should be aware of motorcyclists. Motorcycles also have the same rights as others on the road and are also harder to see. Never crowd motorcyclists and always give them a full lane. Leave at least a four second following distance in case of an emergency or a sudden stop.

Click It or Ticket in May tallies 716 citations Extra traffic safety patrols for the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign resulted in 2,020 citizen contacts across North Dakota. Forty-eight law enforcement agencies, including the North Dakota Highway Patrol, participated in these additional hours for seat belt enforcement May 23 through June 5.

A total of 1,995 citations were attributed to the added patrols. Of the total, 695 were citations for failure to use a proper safety restraint and 21 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 739. The traffic stops also resulted in 22 warrants served, 18 drug arrests, 11 citations for distracted driving, five felony violations and five driving under the influence (DUI) citations.

The Click It or Ticket event paired education and enforcement to help save lives by showing the importance of buckling up. Failure to use a seat belt is the most significant factor associated with motor vehicle crash injuries and deaths. In 2015 in North Dakota, 93 percent of uninjured survivors of fatal crashes were wearing a seat belt.

Funding for additional traffic safety enforcement is provided by federal grant money distributed through the NDDOT.

Perkins to mentor aspiring musicians 3 Bowman youth on tap to perform alonside ‘The Voice’ alum

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Scranton native and former star of NBC’s “The Voice” will be returning to the stage of the Medora Musical this weekend with some very special guests.

Slated as one of her select

2016 North Dakota concerts, this year's concert, scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. June 25, will feature new music, including a new single, a few fan-favorite songs and some classic rock hits.

It’s also a special moment for more than two-dozen as-

piring musicians hoping to learn tricks of the trade from Perkins.

Opening the concert this year will be the 28 inaugural participants of Perkins’ Badlands Rising Star Music Camp.

“Our young people are nothing short of incredible,” Perkins said. “They are fearless, not afraid to show passion and emotion, and my goal is to use this camp to help stoke that fire and ignite their love for music.”

State urges residents to avoid blue-green algae Hot summer weather can contribute to the production of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in bodies of water that are used by people, pets and livestock. Exposure from ingested water contaminated by blue-green algae can cause illness and can result in death. There are no known antidotes for the toxins produced by bluegreen algae. Recent reports of a blue-green algae bloom in Homme Dam near Park River have prompted local officials to issue exposure warnings for the water at that recreational site.

The North Dakota Departments of Health (NDDoH) and Agriculture (NDDA), Animal Health Division, urge the public to avoid contact with or swallowing wa-

What you can do

The Department of Health and the Department of Agriculture, Animal Health Division, recommends these steps to avoid exposure to cyanotoxins: ∞ Respect advisories announced by public health authorities. ∞ Do not swim, water ski, or boat in areas where the water is discolored or where you see foam, scum or mats of green or blue-green algae on the water. ∞ If you accidentally swim in water that might have a cyanobacteria bloom, rinse off with fresh water as soon as possible. ∞ Do not let pets or livestock swim in or drink from areas where the water is discolored or where you see foam, scum, or mats of algae. ∞ If pets (especially dogs) swim in scummy water, rinse them off immediately – do not let them lick the algae (and toxins) off. ∞ Do not irrigate lawns or golf courses with pond water that looks scummy or smells bad.

Peterson said at the time, however, that he would wait to hear the board’s results before making a decision.

The canvassers on Monday added a qualified absentee ballot to the count, but it kept the gap the same since that voter chose Peterson and Shear.

When Peterson was later asked by the auditor’s office if he would seek a recount, he courteously declined, and Shear was declared the winner.

Beyond their operation of the business, the Smolnikars have become loyal community advocates. They’ve supported a wealth of entities and organizations by offering their valuable time and funds.

“I didn’t feel a sense of community until I moved here; understanding how people work together,” Tana, 41, said. “(We’ve) got some great friends here now.”

A rush of emotions overwhelmed Tana while she helped customers on the sales floor Monday morning. The walls of Dale’s have quickly become bare from the store’s going-out-ofbusiness liquidation sale and that has led Tana to think about the day she’ll close up one last time.

“I’ll be sad,” she said through tears, “but relieved, too.”

Meeting the Smolnikars The family moved to Bowman years ago when Montana’s economy took a dive.

They chose Bowman to be closer to Dave’s son, who lived here with his mother, and to make a better living.

They integrated well into the community and became a big name around town through their business and association with community events. Helping with different events around the area and interacting with the people are what both said they would miss most.

“We have a great customer base,” Dave said. “A lot of loyal customers.” That was true both on a local level and from around the state.

The two are staunch proponents for shopping local, a crucial component to smalltown businesses. When ordering merchandise for the store she has the community in mind, sometimes even specific people, which Tana said is true for many other local businesses.

“What benefits can we add to the community? When (the people) are clicking or asking for sponsorships, I would hope that they take that into consideration,” she said. “They’re important to us.”

The Bowman couple, who celebrated their fifth year of ownership June 2, have never forgotten their Bozeman roots over the years.

Tana’s grandmother passed away in October after a battle with ALS. Until that tragedy, Tana and the family would travel back home every six to eight weeks. Most recently she’s been there nearly every three weeks.

Her apparent longing to be back home in Bozeman became harder to avoid.

Dave, 41, had wanted to relocate to Bozeman for some time, but Tana said she was resistant. That changed last Christmas when she and Dave discussed moving back, where four generations of Tana’s family, on both sides, still reside.

The announcement that they would sell Dale’s Clothing came a few weeks later.

“We were really nervous about telling our employees.

But they seemed like they were very understanding,” Tana said. “They understood, so that was refreshing.”

But everyone else was surprised.

Quick decisions were made so that their daughters would be able to begin the 2016-17 school year in Mon-

When the Smolnikars had no luck in selling all three businesses together, in an effort not to leave a gap on Main Street, they made plans to sell them individually.

While the fate of the store’s other businesses remains a bit foggy, the biggest relief, according to Tana, was when Justin and Sarah Wolbaum of Bowman decided to purchase the screen-printing business. That enabled all the designs and printing that Dale’s has done in the past to remain local.

“Justin and I are very excited to be serving the Bowman community and surrounding areas,” Sarah Wolbaum said Wednesday.

Though there are still details to hammer out, Tana said the Wolbaums would be able to carry on what Dale’s had started and would do well.

The embroidery business likely won’t be staying in Bowman and the retail side will cease.

The large front windows of Dale’s were covered in florescent colored paper prior to the going-out-of-business sale that began the second week of this month. Over 400 people attended the first day of the sale and the store has been busy ever since, making big markdowns and trying to sell literally everything including the fixtures.

Tana said the sale would run through July 16 or until everything is gone. The family will begin the transition back to Montana the following week.

The marketing company helping Dale’s with the sale projected the entire inventory to be sold in six weeks. The company has taken much of the anxiety and stress off of the Smolnikars’ shoulders.

Past and current employees and friends stepped up to help throughout the store until the sale ends.

At that point the buildings would be the final things left

to sell.

Though the hard decisions have mostly been made, it’s still been an emotional roller coaster for the family, according to Tana.

Dave said he was most worried to see Hochhalter’s face when they informed him of their decision to close the business, but they understood, he said.

“When we started the sale, somebody did come in and say, ‘If you hadn’t bought (Dale’s) five years ago, we would have gone through this five years ago,’” Dave said, which brought at least some comfort that the community understood their decision.

Dale’s was a successful business, but the Smolnikar family is looking towards the future back home. Not being tied down by owning and running a business will benefit the couple and their

Wishes do come true: Make-A-Wish surprises boy with horse

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Four-year-old Luke Kilzer, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2015, walks hand-in-hand with his brother to greet his new Black Daddy horse during a surprise wish granting June 17 at Bowman’s Dakota Winds Arena. He is greeted by a group of friends, family and Make-A-Wish volunteers that helped make his wish come true. (Pioneer Photo by Bryce Martin)

Student with local ties scores high on ACT Bryce Thom, son of Julene and Brian Thom and an incoming senior at Boulder (Colo.) High School, earned the highest possible ACT Composite score of 36.

Nationally, while the actual number of students earning the top score varies from year to year, on average, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earns the top score. Among test takers in the high

school graduating class of 2015, only 1,598 of more than 1.92 million students earned an ACT Composite score of 36.

Bryce’s father, Brian Thom, is a former Bowman resident and graduate of Bowman High School. Thom’s grandfather is Dr. Robert C. Thom, who was a doctor for numerous years at Tri-State Clinic, now Southwest Healthcare.

Luke Kilzer reaches up to pet his new horse June 17 in Bowman. He received the horse as a surprise from Make-A-Wish, though the group is actively searching for a different horse since the Black Daddy was “too spirited.” (Pioneer Photo by Bryce Martin)

It was Luke Kilzer’s wish to someday have a horse of his own. Not just any horse, but a black one. So when a Black Daddy horse was led into Dakota Winds Arena last week, Kilzer’s face lit up with excitement.

While the surprise went off without a hitch during the Lil’ Spurs Rodeo June 16 in Bowman, the horse turned out not to be such a great fit.

“It was too spirited for a four-yearold,” said Kelly Braun of Make-A-Wish, who helped carry out the surprise.

While he admitted his disappointment, Braun said the group is currently seeking another black horse, though they are tough to locate.

When they locate a new horse, a different event would be held to bring them together.

Four-year-old Kilzer, who lives north of Bucyrus in Adams County, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2015. He spent much of last year undergoing chemotherapy in Minnesota.

When Make-A-Wish representatives approached him and his family, it was obvious what he would want: a horse.

Through the power of community, he received much more.

Braun said the group used the ruse of allowing Kilzer to ride a horse to bring him to Bowman where his wish would be granted.

During the rodeo he was asked to step out into center of the arena for his chance to ride a horse. Little did he know that he would get to keep the horse, along with a lifetime of veterinary care donated by West River Veterinary Clinic and a horse trailer, purchased for the family by Bowman and Hettinger sponsors.

Kilzer climbed over the arena’s panels with his brothers and made it over to his new horse.

Several events hosted in southwest North Dakota have raised funds for Kilzer’s family as they struggle with Kilzer’s diagnosis. Those have helped put Kilzer, and his disease, in the spotlight.

“The outpouring of support through a variety of benefits, some hosted by complete strangers, speaks to the gracious decency of rural North Dakotans,” said Bernie Fischer of Bismarck, Kilzer’s grandfather.

Kilzer is the great-grandson of the late Leonard and Clara Fischer, who lived their entire lives in Bowman County.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Where are all the Democrats?

The Bowman County Pioneer did a fine job of covering the election but a number of votes in the state election were a little unsettling.

There were 14 Democratic votes.

Thirteen others than mine!

Being a Democrat in Bowman is a bit like having a rare disease nobody wants to talk about.

Then a more sensible thought occurred to me. There must have been a number of cross over voters. People who wanted to vote for a Republican candidate for governor.

That winning candidate has a clear path to the office.

Still. Fourteen voters.

Maybe we could start a club.

Or a Party.

MILA ANDERSON

Bowman

Arr! It was a mighty fine time Blackbeard and his (or should I say her?) crew took to the stage last weekend at the Rouzie Rec Center and had a blimey good time!

My son had not participatBy ed in the Missoula Children’s LORI Theatre since the production SOLA of Pinocchio in 2014, but For the when he heard this year’s muPioneer sical was a pirate story, he was eager to try out which made this Momma happy.

During Pinocchio, he said his heart was beating so hard he thought it was going to come out of his chest. He was so nervous, I honestly didn’t know if he’d find himself on stage again.

As a preschooler, Shawn delivered his lines at the Beulah church Christmas program like a pro and was fearless as the troll guarding the bridge in Three Billy Goats Gruff in Bowman. I was so surprised at how well he did his part that I didn’t even think to get it on video. (Hint hint to the parents of that preschool class who recorded it. I still would love a copy!)

Somewhere along the way, his fears have prohibited him from doing things I just know he would really excel in. I am learning to let him discover these capabilities in his own time (with gentle reminders along the way).

I noticed a glimmer of hope during the elementary spring concert in May. For the first time in years, Shawn actually looked like he was having fun. He was singing enough that his lips were moving! To top it off, he was doing the actions, his eyes were bright with excitement, and he was comfortable enough to give me a smile or two.

Shortly after the concert, he had a class play. I could tell he was nervous, but when he looked at me I encouraged him by nodding and giving him a big smile. I even formed a heart with my hands just to reassure him that no matter what, I love him. Other than being stuffy due to seasonal allergies, he did a wonderful job.

Luckily, Nicholas J. Main and Catherine Cable-Barber from Missoula Children’s Theatre cast him in the perfect role of Peachfuzz, a pirate too young for whiskers with silly quips to share that Shawn loved to deliver. Don’t get me wrong, he was still a little nervous, but when the crowd laughed at his jokes his face glowed with appreciation.

Although the participation numbers were down this year, I loved watching all 14 children pull off Blackbeard the Pirate for not one, but two performances. I enjoyed everything from the cha-cha-chas of the crab, the sea creatures costume (I was wishing I could twirl in it!), the beautiful singing of the mermaids, the radical beach bums, the lively ARRs of the pirates, the treasure-hunting sailors to the absolutely adorable parrots shaking their tail feathers. What a hoot! (Or should I say, Bawk!?)

Songs, choreography, staging and lines…it was all learned in just five short days. How many? Five! Once again, I am amazed how the children’s theatre can take kids who are shy, nervous, not telling others they are trying out for the play in fear they won’t get a part to stars! I wish more families would take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!

Even when a crew such as the Missoula Children’s Theatre comes in with costumes, makeup, scripts, and props, there’s always local people helping to make the production happen, too. I won’t mention names in fear that I’d forget someone, but I’m talking about the generous sponsors, the piano player, and the Rouzie Rec crew who all pitched in to make this production a success.

Here’s crossing my fingers that they’ll be back next year and that my son will be interested in participating.

Now, I know hay is not real exciting. Hay is not real funny. Hay is not interesting. There is not much you can say about hay. But, as in the “Forrest Gump” movie, when Bubba is talking about shrimp; there is alfalfa hay, CRP hay, slough hay, prairie hay, wet hay, dry hay, haylage, timothy hay….

I have to tell you a little about haying. Fresh cut hay smells nice. It’s the dang cutting that is a nuisance.

We are cutting some old hay ground. It is rough. It is real rough. It is full of badger holes, mole hills, vole hills, prairie dog mounds, sagebrush, and other bad stuff. I wish we hadn’t started. Sometimes I don’t know how Shirley takes it.

You start out early in the morning. And you think to yourself that today is going to be a good day. Like the song. A good, good day.

You start off at 4 mph.

After one round you back down to three and a half.

You are getting thrown around the cab like a bb in a boxcar. The second round you hit a fresh mole hill and get a little dirt on the sickle. Dang it. I hate that.

The sickle on the mowerconditioner plugs. I really hate that. So does Shirley.

The next hour is spent pulling one small handful at a time out of the conditioner.

Your hand starts to fall off.

You begin to realize that the engineer that designed this machine evidently never had to unplug one. You begin to curse him and his

relatives.

You take off again. Glad to crawl in the cool cab and get a little reprieve from the sun beating down on you.

You slow down to 2.8 mph.

It’s a hell of along ways around the field and your water jug is empty. You look at your watch. It is nearly 10 a.m. If it goes good, you can go another eleven hours. You slow down to 2.2 because you are getting a side ache.

Then a bunch of little pheasant runs ahead of you. You have to cut a wide swathe around them because they are babies. You have to let them grow up so someone can shoot them.

Makes very little sense, but makes you feel good for a little bit. An especially big molehill slips up on you and you bang your head on the side of the cab. The blood attracts more flies. You look at your watch. It is ten fifteen. Tears begin to form in the corner of your eyes.

At ten thirty you start to eye your lunch bucket.

Down to 1.8 mph. The ache

in your side is starting to build again. Maybe that beer in your lunch bucket will ease the pain. You reach down and open it. It is shaken up from the molehills and sprays all over the cab. You hit a molehill, drop the beer and it foams all over the floor. Flies like beer better than blood so they leave you alone. It’s nearly eleven. Beer is gone.

Sandwiches are eaten. And you think that maybe you better quit. That hot wind blowing could start a fire if you hit a rock or lose a bearing.

And besides, lunch is gone. I’m quitting. Out of beer.

Conservation priorities ND Outdoors By DOUG LEIER

For the Pioneer

A few years ago on a Sunday drive near the edge of West Fargo, creeping along with no particular route in mind, one of my kids let out the proverbial, “look.”

Instinctively I took my foot of the gas – not that slowing from 10 mph down to 5 would make much of a difference – but it was slow enough to allow enough of a look to positively identify the bird as Western meadowlark.

Years ago a meadowlark, even near the edge of town, might not have prompted a stop. This grassland native seemed much more common then, but that has changed and my kids who appreciate the unique birds

of North Dakota were right to give the signal.

While perhaps not as highly revered nationwide as our national symbol, the bald eagle, which has recovered from listing as an endangered species, the Western meadowlark does have high status on a more local and regional scale.

State lawmakers tabbed it as North Dakota’s state bird in 1947, and it is also the state bird in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and Oregon.

This symbol of the prairie is unmistakable in sight and sound from other prairie songbirds, with their bright yellow chests accented by a black V-shaped band. The chippy melody has greeted me many mornings in pastures and grasslands, certainly not as loud as the wild rooster crow, but memorable nonetheless.

Unfortunately this historical symbol of North Dakota’s wide open prairie landscape isn’t nearly as numerous as it once was.

In a recent issue of North Dakota Outdoors magazine, Game and Fish Department conservation biologist Sandra Johnson explains: “While the Western meadowlark is still found statewide, its numbers are certainly not what they once were according to historical records in the eastern third of the state.

There just isn’t much grass in that part of the state.

Take away the grass and you lose birds.”

Johnson said the Western meadowlark’s standing in North Dakota is traced through the North American Breeding Bird Survey.

The BBS is a long-term, international avian monitoring program initiated in 1966 to track the status and trends of North American bird populations.

While the number of meadowlarks observed or heard during the annual BBS has declined across the state, the biggest drop since the 1960s is seen in the Red River Valley and drift prairie.

“Once you leave the Red River Valley heading west, you really don’t start to see an abundance of Western meadowlarks until you hit the Missouri Coteau where we still have grass,” Johnson said.

Still, the Western meadowlark remains common from Canada to Mexico, even though it has experienced declines over its entire range, its status in North Dakota is uncertain.

“If we continue to lose more and more grass in North Dakota, then we are going to see fewer and fewer meadowlarks,” Johnson said.

The Western meadowlark was recently added to the state’s revised list of Species of Conservation Priority under the Game and Fish Department’s State Wildlife Grant program.

While a number of the 100-plus animals that make up this list are familiar to people who live here, few are as iconic as the Western meadowlark.

Large hail falls in Adams County storm

By COLE BENZ

For The Pioneer

HETTINGER — The National Weather Service confirmed the touchdown of an EF-1 tornado south of the city of Mott. Meteorologist Ken Simosko of the NWS in Bismarck said that the wind speeds were between 86 to 110 mph.

“We have confirmed that it was the EF-1 tornado south of Mott,” Simosko said.

Multiple factors go into determining the presence and severity of a tornado.

Along with witness accounts, storm surveyors look at structures in the area and weigh them against damage indicators the NWS has in their procedures.

“It take a certain amount of force from the wind to do certain amount of damage,” Simosko said. “It’s those indicators based on the damage they use to asses and determine, you know, what force is needed by the wind to do that damage.”

Surveyors also look at the debris patterns of the damage. If debris is scattered in generally the same direction, it is most likely determined that it was a straight wind that caused the damage.

“If everything is blown in one direction usually it’s a straight-line wind,” Simosko said.

But if the debris is scattered in different directions, usually in a counter clockwise direction according to Simosko, then it’s a tornado.

According to news reports, a house southwest of Mott suffered significant damage, including the destruction of the roof.

Hail was also reported in Hettinger and Adams counties.

“There was quite a bit of hail,” Simosko said.

Sizes ranged from as small as 1.75 inches in diameter in Mott, to a report of hail with a diameter of 3 inches in Adams County one mile southwest of Hettinger. “That was the largest, I do believe,” Siosko said. Hail with a 2.5 inch diameter was reported in Regent at 8:41 p.m., according to Simosko.

Regent was also under a flash flood warning as heavy rains passed through the area. The NWS issued a warning after the area had already suffered through

three inches of precipitation.

“There was flooding oc-

Visitation for Steve will be from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, June 17 at the Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Home with the family being present from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Private services will be held at a later date.

Steve had a heart full of love and shared it with everyone he touched. In lieu of flowers or memorial donations we ask that you take a moment to hug your child, grandchild, friend or walk in the woods for a moment, an hour or a day. Time waits for no one.

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

Published in the Bowman County Pioneer June 24th, 2016 2015 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Bowman, North Dakota We’re very pleased to provide you with this year’s Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. 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 701523-5771. 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 nonEnglish speaking individuals who need help with the appropriate language translation, please call City Hall at 701-523-3309.

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 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, 2015 . 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 (1-800-426-4791) 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 naturallyoccurring 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.

LegaLs

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts 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 (1-800426-4791).

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 necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

IDSE – Initial Distribution Systems Evaluations.

Obsvns – Observations/field at 100 Power.

Highest Compliance Level: The highest level of that contaminant used to determine compliance with a National Primacy Drinking Water Regulation.

Range of Detections: The lowest to the highest result value recorded during the required monitoring timeframe for systems with multiple entry points.

SEE CHART TO RIGHT If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service line and home plumbing. City of Bowman is responsible for providng high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used plumbing components.

Use water from the cold tap for drinking and cooking.

When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www. epa.gov/safewater/lead.

EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants.

Those contaminants listed in the table above are the only contaminants detected in your drinking water. Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist the EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted.

What does this mean?

MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effects (MRDLG) Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. (MRDL) Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

At Arsenic Levels >5 ug/L, but < 10 ug/L: While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA’s standard balance the current understanding of arsenic possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water.

EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

At Arsenic Levels >10 ug/L: Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

Nitrate: Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age.

Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing Nitrate in excess of 10 ppm water can become seriously ill, and if left untreated, may die.

Symptoms include shortness of breath and “blue baby syndrome”. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.

Copper: Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water contain-ing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in

ettinger-Scranton’s Babe Ruth team suffered their first loss of the season after opening with three wins. Bowman dominated the first game by a 15-1 score. They scored eight times in the first inning, and batted around in both the first and second innings. Hettinger/Scranton pitching gave up nine walks and Bowman batters added eight hits.

Jacob Svihovec was the winning pitcher, giving up six hits, striking out two and issued no walks. Mason Defoe was the starting pitcher for Hettinger/Scranton and Jaran Anderson relieved him in the second inning. Due to the run rule, the game only went four innings.

The second game was a complete turnaround with Bowman pitching having a problem throwing strikes, and Hettinger/Scranton came out on top 12-1 in a game that only went three innings. Both teams played many substitutes with Bowman having almost a whole new lineup. Warrick Dilse was throwing nothing but strikes for Hettinger/Scranton, and recorded eight strike outs out of the nine outs. (By COLE BENZ/For The Pioneer)

In the bottom of the seventh inning with one on and the Bears in front by a run, Mattis allowed a home run, clinching the walk-off victory for Surrey.

Hudson Pierce went 1-for-4 with two runs and an RBI. Mason DaFoe had two walks and Mattis knocked in

Head coach Nolan Dix said his team played well and they got great outings from their pitchers. But the arms they faced were probably the best on Surrey’s squad.

“I thought we played well, had good pitching all night,” Dix said. “We went against their two best pitchers probably.”

The Bears play at home again on June 28 against Baker at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on July 1, they travel to Burlington for two games.

tures allowed early migrants to pass quickly through the state,” said migratory game bird supervisor Mike Szymanski.

Survey results indicated all species, except ruddy ducks (up 19 percent) and gadwall (up 4 percent), decreased from their 2015 estimates, while shovelers remained unchanged. Mallards were down 9 percent, pintails down 17 percent and canvasbacks down 18 percent. However all species, with the exception of pintails and canvasbacks, were above the long-term average (1948-2015).

Szymanski said the number of temporary and seasonal wetlands was substantially lower than last year, with the spring water index down 50 percent.

“However, conditions coming out of May into June were much wetter than what we observed during the week of the survey,” Szymanski added. “Frequent rains have since filled many wetlands that are beneficial for breeding ducks.”

The water index is based on basins with water, and does not necessarily represent the amount of water contained in wetlands or the type of wetlands represented.

Szymanski said the July brood survey will provide a better idea of duck production and insight into expectations for this fall. “The total breeding duck index is still in the top 20 all time, so there is still a lot of potential for good production this year,” he added.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Running back

GAME AND FISH NEWS

and caught 49 passes for a career high 495 yards (which was second on the team behind Stefon Diggs). PFF gave Rudolph a player grade of 71.9, good for 23rd in the league. An above average pass catcher, Rudolph will need to improve his blocking to be considered one of the better tight ends in the league.

MyCole Pruitt was drafted last year and proved to be an excellent back up for Rudolph.

A player who is known more for his pass catching ability, Pruitt was actually graded as a better blocker than Rudolph in 2015 according to PFF. Rhett Ellison proved to be very valuable for the Vikings in 2015. A “Swiss Army knife” on the field, Ellison was able to play both tight end and full back. Out of all the fullbacks and tight ends on the Vikings’ roster, Ellison was the highest rated blocker according to PFF. David Morgan was drafted just a few months ago but faces an uphill battle to make the Vikings’ roster in 2016. Morgan will essentially try to take Ellison’s spot on the roster as a player who is known more for his blocking and less for his pass catching.

Brian Leonhardt and Kyle Carter are the two players who round out the list of players in the tight end group. Leonhardt is entering his fourth season in the NFL, and will have a hard time beating out any of the players listed above for a roster spot.

Carter is an undrafted rookie from Penn State who is a below average blocker but has tons of athleticism.

Starter: Kyle Rudolph There should be no doubt who the starter will be for the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. Rudolph will look to improve on last season and become a dominant force in the NFL.

The Vikings Vine By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

Last week, we took a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ running back situation. If you happened to miss the article, you can find it on Facebook through the web address that’s listed below.

Fullback The Minnesota Vikings have predominantly been a power running team, often lining up with a fullback or extra tight ends on the field to produce better blocking. Will the Vikings continue to be a power running team or will they shift to a spread out approach this season?

Zach Line was the starting fullback last season and finished with a player grade of 57.2 according to Pro Football Focus, good for 15th in the league. An average at best blocker, Line was able to demonstrate his value in other ways. He only ran the ball six times for 10 yards, but found the end zone twice.

Line also caught six passes for an impressive 95 yards and a touchdown through the air.

Blake Renaud will be competing with Line for the fullback position. A linebacker in high school and college, Renaud was signed as an undrafted rookie in 2015 to play fullback. He also spent some time on the Vikings’ practice squad last season.

Starter: Zach Line Full back is one of the least important positions for the Vikings in 2016.

Even though Adrian Peterson has publicly stated he prefers running behind a full back, it’s clear this team is becoming Teddy Bridgewater’s, who prefers to spread out the offense and throw from the shotgun. The only way Renaud passes Line on the depth chart is if he proves to be a better blocker while also bringing value as a ball carrier and pass catcher.

Tight ends Kyle Rudolph was able to play all 16 games of the regular season for only the second time of his career

enforcement presence on the water.

“It’s an effort to raise awareness about the dangers associated with boating under the influence,” said enforcement division operations supervisor Jackie Lundstrom. “With the assistance of some county and federal agencies, we will have additional officers on the water at different times of the day, especially in high traffic areas.”

Water safety is a major enforcement issue for the Game and Fish Department, as the number of anglers, boaters, jet skiers and other recreationists has continued to grow during the past decade.

“With that said, our main focus is to ensure safety by providing a larger enforcement presence,” Lundstrom said. “Our goal is to heighten awareness that driving a boat under the influence is the same as driving your vehicle under the influence. If you know you are too intoxicated to operate your motor vehicle, then you should not be operating your boat.”

Operation Dry Water is coordinated by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Traveling boaters should check border state and provincial ANS regulations

North Dakota boaters who are traveling to other states or Canadian provinces should check the aquatic nuisance species regulations of their destination to make sure they are in compliance.

While many of North Dakota’s ANS prevention regulations are similar to surrounding states and provinces, State Game and Fish Department ANS coordinator Jessica Howell says there are some subtle

differences that could lead to travel interruption or citations depending on the circumstances.

“Removal of all water and vegetation, as well as pulled plugs while traveling, are generally the rule in neighboring states and provinces,” Howell said, “but there are some places where ‘dry’ is also a requirement, meaning no residual water anywhere in the boat.”

In addition, mandatory boat inspections may be required based on destination or route taken. For example, Howell said anyone pulling a boat into Canada will likely have it inspected at a border crossing, some states have inspection checkpoints along highways, and some lakes have inspectors at boat ramps.

Any boats that are not in compliance will likely get delayed in their travels or be prevented from launching, Howell added.

Boaters should be aware of regulations for not only their destination, but for any states they are traveling through.

Fireworks prohibited on wildlife management areas The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds citizens that possession or use of fireworks on state wildlife management areas is prohibited.

The primary objective of a wildlife management area is to enhance wildlife production.
