'Bowman could have been a lot worse,' Bowman County Emergency Manager Dean Pearson says.

It was supposed to be, but why wasn't it?

Pearson explains that the city of Bowman is uniquely situated in both a radar shadow and a 'cone of silence,' which prevents highlyaccurate weather forecasts of severe weather happening on the ground in Bowman.

Search continues for wanted Bowman man

Wickstrom, 24, wanted on felony warrants in 2 jurisdictions

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A manhunt continued in the area last week for a Bowman man waiting to stand trial for drug-related offenses.

District Judge William Herauf signed a warrant for the arrest of Codee Wickstrom late last month that stated he “may have violated conditions of his bond/bail.”

Since then, deputies with the Bowman County Sheriff’s Office have unsuccessfully tried to locate Wickstrom.

Wickstrom, 24, of Bowman is scheduled to appear in Southwest Judicial District Court for

Codee Wickstrom a pretrial conference in July and a felony jury trial in August.

He pleaded not guilty to two Class-C felonies for drug and paraphernalia possession during a preliminary hearing last month. Those charges

No more 'red zone' after city repairs sewer

Southwest region pummeled by high winds, heavy rain, baseball-size hail

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net As the old adage goes, “no weather is ill, if the wind be still.”

But North Dakota’s wind is rarely still which, according to proverb, means we should constantly expect severe weather.

Southwest North Dakota received its first severe storm of the season last weekend. While

it somewhat waned once it reached the city of Bowman, its havoc was still felt in the region.

With the storm came heavy rainfall, gusty winds, frequent lightning and ominous thunder, along with damaging hail in some areas.

Bowman County joined most of the counties in western North Dakota as it skated in and out of one severe warning after the next on Friday and Sunday.

Areas as far north as

Killdeer, east to Bismarck and south to Bison, S.D., got what Bowman County for the most part dodged.

Michael Matthews, forecaster with the National Weather Service in Bismarck, summed it up: “It’s summertime so certainly it is the time of year when we get weather events like this.”

While Matthews considered the range of storms as nothing too unordinary—even with the storms forming so quickly and closely together—

Bowman County still felt a jolt.

Reports of large hail came out of Marmarth on Friday evening. Not just ordinary hail, but the size of baseballs; about 2.75 inches in diameter.

Two reports suggested the large hail fell west of Sunset Butte in southwest Bowman County, south of Marmarth, according to the NWS. That area also received a large amount of rain-

Strong thunderstorms moved through western North Dakota last week bringing both beneficial rains and severe weather.

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 15, 16, 19, and 21. In all, 12 flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

North Dakota should see chances for thunderstorms during the workweek due to upper

sive sewer break, but this time the fix went relatively quickly.

Last year, residents waited around nearly up to the Thanksgiving holiday before they could flush toilets, take normal-length showers and wash dishes and clothing.

This time residents only had to limit their use for about 12 days.

Some residents in the red zone—spanning west from Highway 85 for about seven city blocks—took the restriction seriously and came up with crafty ways to ensure they wouldn’t have to deviate from their daily routines.

One such resident was Robin Welch.

“We tried our very best at my house,” Welch said.

“Some people were not as serious about it. But I decided to do it the best we could because we were asked to comply and the city was nice enough to leave the water turned on.”

Welch did laundry at the fire hall and at a friend’s home. To ensure no dishwater went down the drain, she used her dishwasher as a drying rack and washed the dishes in a pan in the sink.

And she and her family, eh, adopted the motto: Mellow yellow in regards to toilet flushing.

But her pièce de résistance was the far length she went to be able to bathe—she ordered a drill pump, hooked a hose to each end of the pump and used her cordless drill to pump the water out the bathroom window.

A full tub for a bath took about seven minutes to fill and used a little more than one fully charged battery pack to empty, she said.

Welch’s 4-year-old daughter, Sophia, cheerfully welcomed the news of the red zone’s end.

“I used the sink and she said, ‘We can use the water! We can use the water!’”

Welch said.

stemmed from a February incident in Bowman.

A Class-B felony charge of manufacturing a controlled substance was dismissed during the hearing.

Bowman County Sheriff Rory Teigen told the Pioneer on Tuesday that his office has not been able to serve Wickstrom with the warrant because his whereabouts are presently unknown.

garding Wickstrom’s location and subsequently responded to a city residence. Wickstrom was not there.

Teigen suggested that Wickstrom could potentially be apprehended in other jurisdictions if spotted as he allegedly absconded his probation in another North Dakota county.

Wickstrom was charged in 2010 with delivery of marijuana and conspiracy to deliver marijuana in Burleigh County. Both are Class-B felonies. Wickstrom, 19 years old at the time, pleaded guilty

positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, committed simple assault and allegedly possessed a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia—the two charges he faces in Bowman County—which also violated his probation.

On June 3, five days after Bowman County issued its warrant, an arrest warrant naming Wickstrom was issued by the South Central District Court in Burleigh County.

Wickstrom is still at large but not considered dangerous, according to Teigen.

Each year a number of fire, ambulance and first responders from the area refreshes their emergency rescue skills by holding a mock automobile extrication.

Chris Palczewski, Bowman Volunteer Fire Chief, is an extrication instructor with the fire department and works to maintain the necessary 2-year certifications in “the art of extrication.”

Extrication is the process of removing a vehicle from around a person who has been involved in a motor vehicle accident, when conventional means of exit are impossible or inadvisable. A delicate approach is needed to minimize injury to the victim during the extrication.

Last week, members of Bowman Rescue and other local fire departments staged a mock scenario where a truck overturned and its driver had no way to exit. The truck’s metal would have to be torn off around them.

Bowman Fire Dept. and Bowman Ambulance work together to form Bowman Rescue, whose certification guidelines are set by the North Dakota Department of Health and the North Dakota Firefighters Association. They hold standards for the department’s Heavy Rescue Certification—five personnel must be certified as an emergency medical responder and five must be certified to conduct automobile extrication. There is a long list of tools and medical equipment the departments must have certified, too.

A minimum of one medical and two automobile extrication personnel must respond to all calls and be available seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

It’s always sunny after the storm. A rainbow formed over the city of Bowman on Tuesday after a day filled with rain showers. The storm activity didn’t match what southwest North Dakota felt June 19 and June 21, as those storms were much more severe and carried torrential rain, hail, frequent lightning and damaging winds. (Photo by Bryce Martin | Pioneer)

STORM FROM PAGE 1

fall, totaling about 1-1/6 inches on Sunday, Matthews said.

The hail was smaller as it reached Bowman, but just as furious.

Further south, near Bison and into the Black Hills, the hail came down in the size of grapefruits.

Bison also saw a tornado touch down but managed to avoid disaster with no reported damage.

A similar eerie tornado sighting was made to the east of Bowman near the Adams and Hettinger County line.

Matthews said there was no confirmation that that tornadic activity had reached the ground and it vanished as quickly as it formed.

While Friday and Sunday disturbed peoples’ plans for grilling and spending time outdoors, last weekend’s forecast and the multiple severe weather watches and

warnings spelled out far more gloom than what actually happened.

Bowman County Emergency Manager Dean Pearson said Bowman County was lucky. “[...] For the most part we lucked out considering what the possibilities were and what could have happened,” Pearson said on Tuesday.

Much of the energy that powered Friday’s storm headed north and joined the storm cell that was approaching from the north. That system scooted across Slope County and nailed Bismarck with flooding and damaging winds later in the evening.

Pearson said the county blew its emergency sirens at Bowman Haley Dam because of the hail that was approaching, but it mostly fizzled out before it got there.

That’s quite common, according to Pearson.

A storm’s intensity will move from one end of the storm to another depending upon where it

is positioned and where it gets its moisture source.

Most of the heavy rain has been to the east of Bowman County so far this year. The storms typically build above the county but accelerate as they move further east because that’s where more of the moisture is, Pearson explained.

Last year the average rainfall in Bowman County showed that the area was about 3 to 4 inches ahead of Bismarck in the center of the state.

Pearson said that is normally the opposite, as it is so far this year.

“When that happens, you usually have more severe storms build and move east than build west and move into us,” he explained.

More moisture on the ground provides a great build to a storm.

Dry conditions are the converse. It all depends upon what happens from the Missouri River west to the Rocky Mountains, Pearson said.

But anything’s a pos-

sibility when it comes to Mother Nature.

When there’s a severe thunderstorm, the Bowman County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) goes active.

Either Pearson, Assistant Emergency Manager Karla Germann, or one of the department’s volunteers gather in the EOC— a partially underground, windowless room at the Bowman County Courthouse—to provide eyes and ears when weather becomes severe. The EOC serves an important role for the community as it assists with weatherrelated school closures, alerts law enforcement to blow emergency sirens, notifies local health care providers to move their patients when weather gets rough and more.

The EOC also monitors storms as they come through the area.

Pearson said rather than blaming the poor predictability of severe storms on the weather modification program— the mission of which is

to deter and suppress hail—it’s because of Bowman’s location to weather radars.

Bowman is at the edge of the NWS’s radar in Bismarck—it can’t see any weather activity happening below 8,000 feet.

If there’s lightning or tornadic activity under the base of a storm system in Bowman County, and that base is lower than 8,000 feet, it can’t be seen on radar.

“All they can see is that we have a severe thunderstorm down here but they have no idea what it’s doing,” Pearson said.

That’s a big problem, but it’s where the EOC comes in, along with the NWS’s system of regional storm spotters.

But there’s another force working against radar use for Bowman, what Pearson called the “cone of silence.”

A live radar image of Bowman County and the surrounding area is available via the North Dakota State Water Commission’s website—www. swc.state.nd.us—but sometimes shows a small circle around the city of Bowman.

What is it? It’s the “cone of silence.”

When watching a storm system move into the area from Montana, once it reaches the cone of silence around Bowman, it seems to disappear from the radar only to later reemerge to the east around

Scranton.

The storm hasn’t really died down, according to Pearson, as the cone of silence is affecting what the radar shows. That cone sticks out 10 miles around the city.

A radar—Bowman’s currently sits at the old airport—would need to be placed 10 miles away from the city to provide an accurate image.

Because of this, Pearson said Bowman technically has no radar coverage.

Once the radar is transferred to the new airport east of the city it will make a difference, but only a small one, giving about three extra miles of radar coverage on the west of the city but subtracting three miles from the east.

If the radar were ever moved outside of Bowman, it would be difficult to immediately fix when necessary, Pearson said.

Because of the radar absence, Pearson’s duty with the EOC is crucial.

It’s the EOC that is responsible for estimating what is occurring overhead during a storm.

If a storm is tracking towards Bowman and it’s severe, the emergency operations center makes its decision to sound emergency sirens at about 10 miles out.

Depending upon the situation, that 10-mile warning could either mean ample time or not enough.

Musings from Main Street By Bryce Martin Pioneer Editor

A sincere moment: Battling cancer Never have I felt more a part of this community than while serving on this year's Relay for Life committee.

I have seen the dedication, the stick-to-itiveness and perseverance, qualities that shape the strongest of communities, embodied by my fellow members on this board. Their commitment to such a great cause—organizing an event to support cancer survivors and raise money for awareness and research—is equal to their love and care of this community.

I'm more than proud to stand with them.

Not only do I see compassion and willingness displayed by my fellow members, but also from the community at large—all the individuals and businesses that have opened their hearts to help us put on this event shows that the pillars of our community are tall and solid.

At first, Relay for Life didn’t seem likely to see the success in Bowman this year as it had in previous years. But our board and our community stepped up in the face of such adversity to show that we, as a community, unwaveringly care about each other and can accomplish great feats even when the odds are against us.

It’s a similar adversarial journey for many cancer survivors—ones who beat the odds and overcome great despair, or who live through their struggle without hope of care or compassion only to be welcomed into a glorious community of support— the fact is when the chips are down, you find out who really cares.

And Bowman cares.

I've had hours-long interviews with so many survivors, young and old, throughout my career to share their difficult stories and detail their literally undying strength in the face of the disease.

The hardest part is, despite an infinite amount of love and support, not everyone survives a cancer diagnosis.

I've had my own experience with cancer on a personal level.

I was diagnosed in 2008 with melanoma. I had several major surgeries that year. I was one of the lucky ones.

Only with the love and

support of my friends and family did I manage to make it through all the doctor visits, the stares from people as I walked around wrapped in bandages, the medical tests with all their typical poking and prodding and that uncomfortable moment when I had to inform somebody that I had cancer. It truly was a battle waged by my entire support group. To them, I am forever grateful.

While my survival story is not one that's overly long or embattled by twists and turns or ups and downs, I'm still a cancer survivor. Any hope that I could instill in somebody struggling with or affected by the disease makes it worth sharing my story.

But the focus isn't on me, it's on this community whose members, through hard work and cooperation, can take a person struggling and guide them through waters that they never wished to wade. That's a true community.

I've said it so many times: Bowman is one of the best communities I've lived in. Why? Because of its people.

They're quick to offer a helping hand, for which they require no commendation, and are not limited to whom they serve.

While it's not always easy and it doesn't always turn out perfect, this community continues to rally behind its members.

Though I know it doesn’t always play out like that; we're not perfect.

I've experienced Bowman's legendary rumor mill firsthand and I'm under no impression that everybody here gets along, but the bigger picture shows that Bowman succeeds when it stands together. And together it stands forever.

Whether or not you will participate in Friday's Relay for Life— though we'd love to see a huge turnout— the seeds of this community have already been sewn.

And when it's time to harvest, all seem to benefit in one way or another. That's because of the people who truly care about where they live, work and play.

Only together can we continue to shape the Bowman County community for the future, to retain the essence of our strong community for our youth.

If you're unsure of what you can do, join a local board or committee, spend some time volunteering and make your voice heard to bring about something positive. Or, more simply, be there for your neighbor.

Remember, there's no such thing as a community of one. But if you’re in Bowman, you’re certainly never considered just “one.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Person upset after 'opinion' during rodeo?

I recently completed my 15th year of play-by-play of the NDHSRA finals rodeo. As I was finishing, two members of the high school board came to me and asked what I said to make one person so angry. They said,

Now, it seems I am doing it again, without even trying. As I am getting older, it seems the gravitational pull of Earth is winning me over. I am no longer a strapping six-two.

This and That By Josephine Kaczmarek

We’ve had several storms lately. One evening all of us had to sit out in the hallway and wait for the clear signal. We sat there for over an hour. There was one storm and another coming, but neither one hit here, just a little rain but Sunday night there was a lot of thunder and lightning. Big hail in Marmarth but so far we’ve been lucky.

“He was really hot.”

What I said to upset this person was, “I have an opinion as to whether rifle and skeet are rodeo, but I will keep my opinion to myself.” Apparently this person has a problem if other people have opinions, even if he has no idea what the opinion is. He is living in the wrong country.

This country is the greatest in the world because our people have a diversity of ideas and opinions and we are able to freely express them.

Now arriving today are two of his nephew’s; Milton Tollefsrud of Seattle and Don Lewison of Rochester, Minnesota. They plan to do some fishing.

Tuesday, Pam and John came. John filled my bird feeders and Pam helped me sort out the material for my baskets which was quite a job. They brought a big bowl of cucumber salad, a big dish of watermelon, and some grapes to also share with my table mates.

Thanks so much. It was very good.

Friday, Lane and Ann Dingfelder and Jim Quenzer came to play and sang for us. There was also a skit

speech. It certainly does not involve censoring the press, which is what I am as a broadcast journalist. I have a difficult time expressing my contempt for this kind of bullying behavior. It has no place on the playground, let alone among adults.

This person did not have the decency or courage to approach me.

It was suggested I may want to apologize. That’ll be a cold day in hell.

Lawrence grew up on a ranch in Rhame, North Dakota.

He attended Rhame High School, where he was active in basketball and track. He also met his lifelong soul mate

Mary Nester while attending high school, whom he married in 1961. Lawrence attended Dickinson State University, School of Mines in Rapid City, N.D., and acquired a master’s degree in administration from the University of Oregon.

The family, Lawrence, Mary and their two children, Warren and Wendy, moved to Alaska where Lawrence worked on the Alaskan highway and spent time hunting. After a couple years they moved back to North Dakota to help on the family farm and then finally they moved to Dayville, Ore., in 1969, where Lawrence had been hired as the math/ science teacher. He held various jobs in the area during the next 45 years and, although he worked as a principal and superintendent during those years, he always ended up back in the classroom. He was well known for his love of hunting and the detailed stories that he told related to his many adventures in Alaska and Africa. He also wrote two books about his time spent hunting.

Lawrence lived a full life and enjoyed spending time hunting, golfing, attending the Catholic Church and the fellowship with the Knights of Columbus, traveling and most of all spending time with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife Mary; his mother Norma; his son Warren and his wife Stefanie Wolfgram and grandson Damian Wolfgram; his daughter Wendy and her husband Denny Christensen, granddaughter Terika Christensen and grandson Remington Christensen; five other grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; brother Leonard; sister Lynette; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Bowman area. He was a member of the Bowman School Board and a very active member of the Bowman Fire Department. He was an avid pilot with over 600 hours logged in both tricycle and tail-wheel aircraft. He especially loved his Maul tail-dragger airplane. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #92 in Bowman and an active member of the El Zagal Shriners.

Gerald began his career working for Oscar Juntunen at the Bowman Implement Company. He was especially proud of his time at the Bowman Implement Company. A few years later he purchased a local Enco (eventually Exxon) gas station and bulk fuel delivery service, where he earned a 25-year service award. His passion for ranching and cattle eventually led him to buy a farm and ranch in the early 1980s. After ranching for nearly a decade, Gerald found employment with Lextron Animal Health as an animal health supply salesman and eventually a store manager. He was finally able to convince Lextron Animal Health to open a store in North Dakota, and was able to move back to Dickinson in 2002.

At the age of 72, he eventually retired from Lextron Animal Health in 2009 after 17 years of dedicated service.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Isabelle Blees, and brothers Wayne Blees and Terry Blees. Survivors include his wife Ellen (Burk) Blees. Children Becky Blees, Jody (Doug) Rajewsky, Sandy (Brian) Fahlstrom, Kim (Bryan) Hall and six grandchildren: Brandon Hoggarth, Kristi (Bryant) Faulkner, Brady Fahlstrom, Paige Fahlstrom, Jacie Hall and Kylar Hall, brother-in-law Fred (Rene) Burk, sisterin-law’s Linda Blees, Pat Netland and many nieces and nephews.

MASON/BROSZ: Bowman Lodge, LLC: Brosz has contacted Doug Peterson through a letter on May 15 regarding several issues that need to be taken care of at the Bowman Lodge project. There are testing items to take care of for the water and sewer mains. The water main is not certified and is being used illegally. The water pressure test passed and the samples have been taken but Brosz does not have the results, therefore it can’t be certified, the same is with the sewer.

There also needs to be a manhole on the south side of highway 12/85. The Bowman County Rural Ambulance Service building needs to tie into it. The Bowman Lodge wants the Bowman County Rural Ambulance Service District to pay for part of the manhole. Lynn Heath (BCRASD Contractor) said he would install it at an approximate cost of $5,000.00.

James suggested that ½ the funds come out of the City’s Surge fund for emergency services.

They would like to see a cap on the number of licenses and commented on ruining the quality of life of Bowman residents.

Legion team loses one double header, wins one

By Sheldon Christenson For the Pioneer

After losing a double header to Kidder County on June 22—15 to 1 and 11 to 1—the Legion team came back and took two the next night from Stanley. Stanley came into the game with a 2-7 record.

The difference in the two Stanley games was like the difference between night and day. The first game resembled what one thinks a baseball game should be like, low scoring, good pitching, decent defense and finished in a timely manner, 75 minutes. The second game had the scoring of a football contest.

In the first game Braxon Yates started for the hometown Bears and Jayd Rice for Stanley.

Both went the distance with strong performances. Bears got a run in the second on three straight

singles with Jarad Mattis driving in the run. They added another run in the third as Damon Mellmer singled and eventually scored on a throwing error by the Stanley catcher.

Their final run was in the sixth as Hudson Pierce led off with a double and scored three batters later on an infield ground out.

Yates finished with a four-hitter in the 3-1 win and lost his shutout in the last inning with two outs.

He walked five and struck out four. Rice gave up seven hits, struck out four and issued only one walk.

Although entertaining, the second game had all the negative parts of baseball. Too many walks, physical and mental errors and batters hit by pitches. There were also six pitching changes. The game started innocently enough as Stanley had a 4-1 lead after three innings. The Bears jumped out to a 5-4 after scoring four times in the top of the

FILE PHOTO fourth. But Stanley struck back with nine runs in their half of the fourth and all runs being scored after two outs. Fourteen batters came to the plate as they received four walks, one hit batsman, three errors

and only four hits. Damon Mellmer was pitching for the Bears and just didn’t have his stuff. He faced 11 batters in that fourth inning before being relieved

by Mattiss. He struggled all night by issuing eight

walks.

But the Bears were not done as they had their own barnburner stanza in the final inning scoring nine times to take an 1814 lead. Brandon Pierce set the Stanley batters

OPINION

SKOL!: The Vikings Vine For the next several weeks I will be breaking down the Viking’s roster, evaluating the players and letting you know what to expect from each position. If you have any questions or comments feel free to write me at jwright3030@gmail.com, follow me on Twitter @ SkolJWright or find me on Facebook at Jordan Wright.

My fourth installment will be breaking down the tight ends. Last season there was a lot of hope about the tight ends on the roster, particularly after Kyle Rudolph signed a contract extension and Norv Turner was brought in to be the Offensive Coordinator because he has had very good success with tight ends in the past, including Antonio Gates and Jordan Cameron. Norv’s

By Jordan Wright

offense is predicated on the deep throw, which will open up the middle of the field, and when you combine that with Kyle Rudolph’s pass catching abilities, it seems like a match made in heaven. If only it were that simple.

Starter: Kyle Rudolph There is no competition at tight end, especially considering Kyle went to the Pro Bowl in 2013 and won the Pro Bowl MVP award. Sure, there will be a battle for who gets snaps between the remaining tight ends, but everyone in the

meeting room knows the starter is Kyle Rudolph.

While there is no denying Kyle’s speed, size and pass catching abilities, the biggest question about him is his health.

Over the past two seasons, Kyle has only been able to play in 17 games because of injury. If Rudolph can stay healthy, he will be one of the best tight ends in the NFL. He has all the talent in the world and the right coach to put those talents to good use. Now we just have to hope he stays healthy.

Back-ups: MyCole Pruitt, Chase Ford, Rhett Ellison, Brandon Bostick The starter at tight end is easy to identify, but the primary back up? That’s a little more difficult. The Vikings drafted MyCole Pruitt in the fifth round of the draft, and by all

accounts he is showing well during OTAs. Unless something drastic happens like an injury, one would have to assume Pruitt has a spot reserved on this roster.

Chase Ford was one of the players called upon last season to fill in while Kyle Rudolph was injured. Ford was originally an undrafted free agent out of Miami and signed with Philadelphia, but ended up on Minnesota’s practice squad.

Entering his third season, Ford has the skills to be a successful tight end in the NFL, but unfortunately for him there is a lot of competition at his position.

Rhett Ellison is really a combination tight end/ fullback, and he reminds me a lot of Jim Kleinsasser. Neither one is going to blow you away

with their blazing speed, but both of them know what is expected of them and get it done. Because he doesn’t have great speed, Ellison wasn’t expecting to get drafted.

In fact, the LA Times did a great story on him (he was from USC) where they talk about how Ellison went fishing with his dad during the draft to avoid the whole thing all together, and when he got the call from Rick Spielman he broke down in tears. Ellison is entering his fourth season in the NFL. Brandon Bostick will unfortunately always be remembered for his play in the NFC Championship game for the Green Bay Packers where he failed to corral the onside kick attempt by Seattle and the Packers lost the game. Green Bay

promptly cut Bostick, and he signed with Minnesota this offseason.

It really all comes down to whether the Vikings keep three tight ends and a full back (like Zach Line), or if they decide to keep four tight ends. Rudolph and Pruitt aren’t going anywhere, so that leaves Chase Ford, Rhett Ellison and Brandon Bostick competing for the final tight end spot(s).

I see the Vikings giving a spot to Ellison since he is able to do more on the field than the other two. Chase Ford is good but the Vikings drafted a better version of him this year with Pruitt. Brandon was never able to get much playing time in Green Bay, even though they desperately needed a tight end. As such, I don’t see him being able to stick on this roster.

What is industrial design?

DESIGN SPACES

By Linda Brooks

(Left) An aqua cil tavolo lamp made by Artemide, a Milanbased company of industrial designers. The lamp is one example of industrial design.

For the Pioneer lbrooks@ndsupernet.com In my monthly articles I have featured many different aspects of interior design. Industrial design is another one of those aspects considered as interior designers use products that have been created by industrial designers.

“Industrial designers” study function and form – and the connection between product, user and environment. Industrial design professionals work in small scale design and with other professionals such as marketers to identify and meet their customers’ needs and expectations.

Design, itself, is often a difficult concept for nondesigners and engineers, because the meaning accepted by the design community is not made of words. The definition is created as a result of acquiring a critical framework for the analysis and creation of artifacts. The design process is “creative” and at the same time analytical processes are involved. Some of the processes commonly used are research, sketching, model making, prototyping, and testing. 3D software and CAD (computer aided design) programs are used to move from concept to production.

One of the first industrial designers was Jens Risom, Denmark, (1900’s).

He moved to the United States and manufactured modern furniture using high standards of craftsmanship. Even though many of his designs were made for smaller homes and apartments he also designed contract furniture (furniture designed for heavy use in non-residential areas and public spaces, they must be strong enough to withstand wear and tear over extended periods of time).

Industrial designers can work in so many different fields – I am featuring two that I have had the privilege to meet, converse with, and learn from their expertise. Ernesto Gismondi, founded Artemide in 1959 – it is a lighting factory based in Milan, Italy. I had the opportunity to manage a lighting showroom in Minneapolis (2000-2006), and, at that time met Mr. Gismondi at our national meetings in Philadelphia. He is an industrial designer who designs, develops, fabricates, and oversees testing and product development for 100’s of lighting fixtures and systems. In the whole design process Artemide views light, “as flexible and adaptable, producing

optimum visual precision, and consuming the minimum of environmental resources”.

Artemide has Research and Development Centers with product planning and engineering sections, self-

certification testing, and production units equipped with state of the art processes.

The other industrial designer is Tim Brox, our son-in-law. He and our daughter Bridget, have

been living in NZ for the last 3 ½ years where they are working on their doctoral degrees.

To do some of the work required Tim has designed, developed and fabricated machines need-

ed to do his research – a number of these have patents pending right now.

Tim also works with a big Siemens electromagnet.

In his travels to Antarctica he has been on an international team studying the ice layers in glaciers.

These studies are similar to the studies archeologists do with layers of rock when studying the formation of the earth’s crust.

The Siemens magnet allows ice researchers to study the molecules and atoms of the ice samples without the sample ever melting. Ice research is very difficult because even in a cold lab one is working with warm hands and the samples tend to degrade.

According to Tim the industrial applications for use of the big magnet are almost endless. He also shares that what he has developed will not ever be mass produced and would seem fairly crude to most people – it is so specific to what they need for their work.

I hope you have enjoyed looking into what industrial designers are and what they do – another aspect of design.

Linda Brooks, owner of Design Consulting, has an Interior Design Degree from NDSU. She lives in Bowman.

We think you deserve better.

Being the healthcare leader in Western Dakota, it’s no surprise that West River Health Services is once again taking the medical technology lead by purchasing a state-of-the-art MRI Scanner to operate within our new purpose-built MRI Building addition to our hospital in Hettinger.

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a non-invasive diagnostic exam that uses a powerful magnet to image the inside of your body.
