Strong storm blows roof off Bowman building Staff Report

A large thunderstorm hammered North Dakota Saturday, causing property damage, power outages and hail damage throughout the southwest region of the state.

The heaviest reported damage so far has been to the roof of the West River Health Services building in Bowman.

In Bowman, winds and heavy rains hit hard, tearing the roof off the West River Clinic and forcing repairmen to scramble to protect the roof of the building from a second afternoon thunderstorm Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service Office in Bismarck, the strongest measured wind gusts in the area occurred between Rhame and Bowman and hit 70 miles per hour Saturday.

The office declined to state if the clinic building had been hit by a micro burst. A micro burst is a localized area of a severe downdraft of air,

ports. The strongest wind gusts measured were 63 miles per hour at Williston Airport. In Dickinson, the wind was measured at 51 miles per hour Saturday.

According to Montana Dakota Utilities, there were reports of power outages in eastern Bowman County Saturday, along with the areas around New England and Mott in Hettinger County.

Sunday’s storms brought more hail to Mott, with reports that it was the size of quarters.

A severe thunderstorm watch was issued by the National Weather Service office in Bismarck for southwestern North Dakota at approximately 5 p.m., (MT) Saturday evening.

The storm system entered the region from South Dakota, according to the National Weather Service.

A second series of storms went through the region Sunday evening but did not hit the Bowman area.

which can cause property damage.

During Saturday’s storm approximately twothirds of the roof was damaged, with debris over the area, including a neighboring motel parking lot. Crews were called in to make temporary repairs Sunday, with the building avoiding further damage.

According to the company, the offices in the building are closed and people are asked to seek assistance in neighboring facilities. “Please call West River Health Services Scranton Clinic for your appointments and concerns at 701-2756336. For Occupational, Speech and Physical Therapy appointments and concerns call 701567-6044,” is posted on the company’s Facebook site.

In Mott, there were reports of ping-pong ball size hail and winds reaching 60 miles per hour Saturday.

Winds earlier in the day reportedly reached 45 miles per hour at Bowman and Hettinger air-

There is a new ATM in the Bowman County building.

It has been in place for several weeks after being delayed by the COVID-19 related closure.

The Dakota Western Bank in Bowman was installed when some of the governmental restrictions were lifted by the state, according to Bowman County Auditor Sandi Tivis.

“Then we could have the crew come in and put it (the ATM) in,” she said.

The county commissioners are still restricting access to the building, she explained. “They decided to keep it as is with appointments simply because of the state DOT. We have a Department of Motor Vehicles branch office here and they are not allowing any face-to-face visits. It is strictly by appointment only. So, our office has to follow that,” she added.

In addition, the NDSU Extension Office in the building is not allowing face-to-face visits yet.

“Our commissioners said it was just easier to have just appointments only until those state offices are allowed to open up,” the auditor added.

According to the NWS forecast for the Bowman area, it will be sunny with highs in the mid70s through Sunday.

According to Bowman County Emergency Management Officer Dean Pearson, the first he had heard about the damage Saturday was that it was caused by a possible tornado.

“Usually with a tornado, you get debris scattered in all directions, but this, this was basically in one direction. That is something that you normally see with a downburst wind or a straightline wind.

“We were watching from the Emergency Operations Center that night and we didn’t record any strong winds. They were in the mid to upper 60s, but we had seen there, but we didn’t see a thing with 70s and higher,” he explained.

“We were really surprised when we heard that the roof had gotten damaged.”

Motorcyclists hit highways for local events

There will be a lot of bikers hitting the road for the next two weekends, and spending some time in the Bowman, Slope and Adams counties.

The first of two motorcycle events will be Saturday when the District 12 ABATE Non-Rally Ride starts in front of Windy’s Bar and Pizza on Main Street in downtown Bowman.

The riders will be practicing social distancing, with a requirement they stay at least six feet apart – by riding motorcycles.

The riders will leave Windy’s and Bowman at 9:30 a.m., heading to Scranton (10:15 a.m.) and Hettinger (11:30 a.m.) before stopping for lunch in Regent.

The group will head to New England and Amidon after lunch.

There is a $20 fee and the event will also give ABATE members a chance to renew their membership and also give new members a chance to sign up.

For more information, contact Ethan at 701-523-6493.

Memorial Run The Nick Johnson Memorial Run will be held June 20, starting in Bowman and going through Scranton, Reva, Buffalo, Ludlow and Rhame.

There will be a fee of $20 for participants, of which 75 percent will go to the Rhame Fire Department Memorial Fund. The other 25 percent will go to the group’s Poker Run. The group will leave Windy’s Bar and Pizza in Bowman at 10 a.m.

COVID-19 guidance for schools

BISMARCK - Although the 2019-2020 school year ended just a few weeks ago, the COVID-19 pandemic has the school community buzzing with questions about what reopening will look like. To provide guidance to schools, the N.D. Safety Council (NDSC) and EAPC created free virtual training courses in partnership with multiple agencies, including the N.D. Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and N.D. Department of Health (DOH).

“Teachers, cleaning staff, administration, coaches and bus drivers all have unique scenarios to consider,” says Don Moseman, NDSC master instructor. “Our goal is to give them the knowledge and confidence to reopen safely this fall.”

The free virtual training events, titled COVID-19 Safety for Schools, will take place June 16, June 30, July 22 and July 29. Two courses will be held each day. The first course will address classroom applications and will be held from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The second course addresses operations and transportation considerations and will be held from 1 to 5 p.m.

Each course will include a brief overview of COVID-19 characteristics and how those characteristics impact cleaning procedures, hygiene, shared equipment and more.

All North Dakota schools are invited to attend. To select your course date and register, go to www. ndsc.org.

The NDSC and EAPC developed these courses in partnership with DPI, DOH, N.D. Council of Educational Leaders, N.D. School Boards Association, N.D. United

Pastor’s Corner

Peace in the midst of chaos

Pastor Ray Sherwood, United Methodist Church

Have you ever heard the phrase, “from the frying pan to the fire”? It seems like we have jumped from the frying pan (coronavirus) to the fire (protests and rioting).

Over the last three months with this pandemic and now with the death of George Floyd in the Cities it feels as if life around us has seemed to escalate for the worse.

As more and more protests take place it seems like tempers flare and it escalates into a fullblown riot. Do not get me wrong as we do have the right as American citizens to protest, but not to burn, ravage and steal from our local businesses and to kill our neighbors These days remind me of the protests in the late 60’s and early 70’s and the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992.

All around us today is that spirit of fear from the coronavirus to the spirit of hate as we experience the protests and riots around our country. We wonder and ask ourselves, when does it all end? Is there an end to the fear and hate? What is happening to our country today?

These are great questions but to be honest, I don’t have the an-

swers to any of those questions!

What I do know is this…we cannot allow the fear and hate to overwhelm and overtake us!

Can I share with you about hate? This is how hatred will normally take place. Imagine a crack in your windshield.

Thanks to whatever vehicle passed your way and flipped up that little pebble onto your windshield now it is chipped. As time goes by the nick becomes a crack and the crack becomes a winding tributary of cracks.

Soon the cracks become a spiderweb of fragments.

What hatred does is sour your outlook and breaks your back and you can’t see anything in front of you because you are too busy looking behind you!

When we are caught in that whirlpool of hatred it is like that small crack in the windshield it starts small, but then we get caught up in all that is happening around us and the hatred grows like the crack.

Like the crack in the windshield it spreads if it is not fixed.

Hatred spreads the same way as it becomes like “blind rage” if it is not fixed!

When we can’t see because of the hatred, then we become like those cracks and the hatred spreads out through us to others!

I can only tell you from my own experience that fear and hatred will break you and the only cure for both of those emotions is Christ!

I have been reading posts from friends, family and acquaintances on Facebook and it seems like many of us are in the same mind that we must give it all to Jesus!

I think most of us know we live in a toxic world and we gain nothing when we try to gloss over the brutality of human existence. Somewhere between

blind fear and blatant hatred stand the levelheaded, clear thinking, still believing follower of Jesus Christ.

We may be wide eyed, but we are not afraid. Unafraid of the terrifying. The calmest kid on the block, not for a lack of bullies, but for our faith in our older Brother.

The people of God know this peace found in Psalm 27:3, “Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident” (NIV).

Paul writes these words in Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (NIV).

All things, both good and bad, big and small, flow out of the purpose of God and serve His good will. When the world seems to be totally out of control and chaos seems to be running rampant, it isn’t! When warmongers seem to be in charge, they aren’t! When chaotic catastrophes dominate the landscape, don’t let them dominate you!

We have a Heavenly Father who sees all and knows all. Even though we question why these things are happening and how could God allow these things to happen…remember we live in a fallen world.

Perhaps God is trying to reveal to us a greater need for Him. Preparing us for what is yet to come in the days ahead!

Let us not allow the fear, panic and hatred to keep us from being the church of Jesus Christ today! Jesus tells us in John 14:1, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me” (NLT).

PPP Loan Forgiveness

By Al Haut

On the Market

Whether you are looking for a brick and mortar business location or simply curious about the history of some of our local buildings, On the Market is for you. The purpose of this building tour is to see empty buildings filled, spark ideas for Bowman County Development Corporation’s Business Challenge, and bring attention to beautiful buildings that have so much life left in them. On the Market has the ability to spark growth, band our businesses together, beautify our city, and create jobs.

There are seven buildings included in this tour that are currently listed as for sale, lease, or rent. These include Shopko, Sears, Hibachi House, Dales, Hawks Landing, Schmitt’s and Super Valu. Several local realtors and building owners will be present to answer important questions regarding square footage, cost, condition, and more.

This guided tour will highlight the specifications of each building, showcase local history, provide renderings of what some buildings could look like, and create a space for community members to leave ideas on what they want to see. Attendees will spend approximately 20 minutes in each building, starting at Shopko, with the ability to return to the buildings later that evening or week.

Each building will hold something new for you to explore, eat or relive. The evening will end at the former Super Valu building on Main Street with a burger meal, s’mores bar, live music and more! Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at onthemarket. eventbrite.com or at Bowman County Development Corporation 13 1/2 E. Divide. There will also be a limited supply of tickets available to purchase at the door on July 7.

For more information call 701.523.5880 or email Brooklyn at brooklyn@bowmannd.com.

North Dakota Lenders processed 18,925 PPP loans for $1.7 billion for small businesses and eligible non-profits. The first loans were approved on April 3 and required a 10day disbursement window. During the first week of June, many businesses will likely be approaching the end of their 8-week covered period for loan forgiveness.

As businesses start to review the procedures for forgiveness, I would like to offer an overview and encourage them to take the time to fully understand the process.

After the 8-week covered period, a borrower must complete and submit the Loan Forgiveness Application (SBA Form 3508 or lender equivalent) to its lender. The lender has 60 days to review the application for reasonableness and issue a decision to SBA. SBA will then pay the lender the appropriate forgiveness amount, plus interest, within 90 days. Quick side note: any loan balance after forgiveness converts to principal and interest payments in months 6-24.

If you request forgiveness before completing the actual IRS 941 form, you may need to complete a draft form with the supporting documentation to help the lender make the review process easier.

Third - Beware of scams. Unfortunately in troubling times, scammers seem to become prevalent. Some website will be offering templates to assist businesses in completing the forgiveness documents. Make sure you are using reputable sources.

Finally - Certification. As a PPP borrower, you are required to certify the documentation. If you chose to hire somebody to complete the documents, get a quote ahead of time and make sure you fully understand how they are developing and completing the forms for you. Again, you will be the one to certify all the documentation is correct.

My first suggestion - Wait. Don’t rush to get the forgiveness form completed right away. There is not a set deadline to apply for forgiveness, so time is on your side. The existing guidelines require supporting documentation that may be easier to develop after filing quarterly reports on June 30. In addition, there is new legislation pending that may substantially change the criteria for forgiveness. It makes sense to take some extra time to complete this process efficiently and effectively. Take time to get it right‌ the first time.

Second - Review the Loan Forgiveness Application form, the Schedule A, and worksheets thoroughly. Understand each component as they intermingle with each other. This includes document, document, & document.

Payroll and other forgivable costs need to be supported with adequate documentation such as payroll records, paid invoices and/ or cancelled checks. Some of the documents may be quarterly forms with a later deadline such as IRS 941 forms due after June 30th.

Bowman County Highway Superintendent Shane Biggs joined the telephone conference meeting with North Dakota Department of Transportation Local Government Engineer Bryon Fuchs to discuss the county bridge inspection process.

Fuchs provided clarification if a private firm would be secured what the potential cost would be to the county and also if the county would solicit a Request for Proposals (RFP) Federal Aid funds would be available to offset a percentage of the costs. In 2021 Bowman County will be scheduled to have the inspections completed.

Biggs presented the Goldfield Township request to purchase approximately 3,200 cubic yards of gravel and purchase additional culverts.

Buchmann made a motion to approve the gravel purchase, with the township responsible for paying 100 % of the cost, and reject the culvert/s request, as it is mandatory for the townships to obtain written documentation from an engineer who will determine the drainage situation.

Jeffers seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken with all members voting aye. Motion carried.

A roll call vote was taken with all members voting aye. Motion carried.

Discussed was the continuation of doing courthouse business by appointment only. The commissioners stated to leave the current protocol in place and revisit at their next meeting.

CHIEF HEADLEY: Dept. Head Report: Sergeant Dannhoff is thinking of going back closer to his family. No formal resignation has been given yet.

The Commission gave approval for James to sign the quote if it is under $2,000.00.

Attorney General Requested Opinion on Alcohol Related Events: Weiss was asked to write a letter to the ND State Attorney General regarding the legality of giving out alcohol at an event. James read the letter from Andrew Weiss relaying the message from the Attorney General’s Office. Weiss stated that Mr. Emerson opined that if there is no sale required, then there is no violation of the law. He went on to express that the business will want to carefully evaluate whether liability concerns are worth the service and that other crimes may be derivative of the service, such as open container or contribution to the delinquency of minors. No written opinion will be forthcoming from the Attorney General’s Office.

Due to this legal opinion the Commission said the Classic Beauty Salon could keep having their Men’s Night as long as there are no issues.

Election draws high interest

Staff Report

As of Monday, with slightly more than 24 hours remaining before the ballot drop box closed, approximately 80 percent of the people who requested mail-in ballots have returned them.

According to the Bowman County Auditor Sandi Tivis, it showed a strong interest in voting.

“A little more than 800 (ballots) we have received. I feel really good (about the response).

We had 1,020 requests and 813 actual ballots received.”

The secretary of state’s office in Bismarck sent all voters in Bowman County a letter with an application for them to review ... and sign …

“When we received those, we would send a ballot out to the voter at the address we have on file,” she explained.

“We always verify the signatures on the ballot application request … we verify both signa-

tures. If there is a discrepancy, we’ll make an attempt to send a letter or contact the individuals by phone,” the auditor said.

People who are not currently registered to vote can complete the process and still vote in the November election, she explained.

“A lot of the applications we are receiving are requesting to have a November mail-out ballot sent to them.

“At that time, I don’t know if we will have traditional polling sites in Bowman County, but we have gotten a lot of requests for people to get their ballots mailed to them in November as well,” she said.

The unofficial results will be uploaded to the secretary of state’s office Tuesday night.

“You will be able to find them if you go to www.votend.gov.

They will have all the results that are uploaded to the state.”

EPA cancels Dicamba products includes provisions for existing stocks

BISMARCK – The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) has received notification from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that they have ordered the cancellation of the registrations for Xtendimax, FeXapan and Engenia, products used in over-the-top applications on Dicamba-tolerant soybeans.

“At the direction of the EPA we have canceled our state registrations of these products, which prohibits any further sale of them,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “However, EPA provides for the use of any product that had already been purchased prior to the cancellation as long as all label requirements are followed. This means that growers or commercial applicators may use existing stocks that were in their possession before the cancellation.”

The state 24c Special Local Needs label still applies and directs that no applications may be made after June 30 or after the first bloom (R1 growth phase), whichever comes first.

The cancellation notice may be found at https://www.epa.gov/ sites/production/files/2020-06/documents/final_cancellation_order_ for_three_dicamba_products.pdf.

Together, the OMND (Oliver, Mercer, North Dunn) Water Treatment Plant (WTP), the Dickinson WTP and the new Southwest WTP treated more than 2 billion gallons of water in 2019. Award-winning, great-tasting, quality drinking water is distributed to over 56,000 residents in southwest North Dakota through five public water systems. These are the water treatment plants (WTP) in Dickinson, both the Dickinson WTP and the SWTP; and the OMND Water Treatment Plants; and the Crown Butte pocket, the Junction Inn pocket and the Tower Hill pocket with water purchased from the Missouri West Water System (MWWS).

The Bowman County Pioneer

Seven questions about sun safety

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist NDSU Extension

“Am I going to need sunglasses?” my husband asked me.

That was an unusual question.

Then I noticed he had a smirk on his face.

I was doing yard work and feeling a bit warm in the summer sun. I had announced I was going inside our house to change into shorts.

After a long, cold winter, I guess the reflection of light on my pale skin might hurt his sensitive eyes.

My husband is among the people who regularly inspire my column topics, which he did again this week. Most of the time I am giving him a bad time. He gets a turn this week.

He handed me my brimmed hat. I noted three bottles of sunscreen on the step.

Using a hat and sunscreen are a couple of ways to help prevent damage to our skin and, potentially, skin cancer.

On the other hand, a little exposure to sunlight does promote the creation of vitamin D in our skin.

Being exposed to sun as little as 10 to 30 minutes a few times a week provides us with adequate vitamin D, which has numerous health benefits.

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. Try these questions to see what you know about skin cancer: 1: Name at least three characteristics of spots (such as size, color, etc.) on your skin that should be noted to a health-care professional.

2: Which of these types of cancer is the most serious? a: Melanoma b: Basal cell carcinoma c: Squamous cell carcinoma d: Merkel cell carcinoma 3: True or False: Using a tanning bed is linked with skin cancer.

4: What is the name of the measure of the amount of UV radiation required to produce sunburn on protected skin?

5: How much sunscreen should you apply? a: 1 ounce b: 2 ounces c: 3 ounces 6: During which time period should you seek shade? a: 8 a.m. to noon b: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. c: Noon to 5 p.m.

7: We should wear sunglasses that protect from UV (ultraviolet)-A and UV-B rays.

Which two type of eye diseases are linked with damaging sun rays?

Answers.

1: Be sure to report to a healthcare professional any spots on

your skin that a) have changed in color, size or texture, b) are bigger than 1/4 inch (the diameter of a pencil eraser), c) appeared after age 21, d) appear pearly, translucent, tan, brown, black or multicolored, or e) itch, hurt, crust over or scab, erode, bleed or haven’t healed within three weeks.

2: a: Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. It is curable if caught early.

3: True. Tanning beds are cited by the Food and Drug Administration as a known carcinogen.

4: Sun protection factor, or SPF. A higher number means that more protection is provided. Remember that exposure to sun through vehicle windows or through clothing can result in sunburns, which increase your risk for skin cancer.

Many organizations recommend an SPF of 30 or higher, especially if you enjoy being outside gardening, golfing or enjoying other outdoor activities. If you use an SPF 30 product, your skin would take 30 times longer to burn, compared with using no sunscreen. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, an SPF of 15 is fine for occasional sun exposure such as driving to work or walking a dog.

5: a: Apply at least 1 ounce of sunscreen. If you need a visual: That’s about the amount that fits in a typical shot glass. Be sure to reapply sunscreen, especially if you swim or are perspiring on a warm day.

6: b: The sun is most damaging between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

7: Macular degeneration and cataracts are linked to unprotected exposure to sunlight.

As we enjoy our warmer weather, don’t forget your sunscreen, and check for an expiration date.

Wear a broad-brimmed hat and high-quality sunglasses.

June is Dairy Month. Try a smoothie with dairy and fruit.

Here’s a recipe and nutrition analysis from the National Dairy Council, which was created

by Chicago-based chef Rick Tramonto. Slip on some sunglasses, put on sunscreen, find some shade and enjoy this recipe.

Apple Yogurt Smoothie 2 c. low-fat vanilla yogurt 1 Granny Smith apple 1/2 c. orange juice 1/2 c. ice 2 Tbsp. honey Core, peel and dice the apple.

Mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth and pour into tall glasses. Garnish with sliced almonds, fruit, julienne mint and 1/2 teaspoon of honey, if desired.

Makes two servings. Each serving has 330 calories, 3 grams (g) fat, 13 g protein, 56 g carbohydrate, 3 g fiber and 160 milligrams sodium.

Local pair make mark in Montana prep rodeo championships After a season cut short by a global pandemic and state closures of public events, the Montana High School Rodeo Championships closed the 2020 season in style in Baker Saturday.

And they finished multi-day event just in time to avoid a cloudburst that drenched Fallon County in the late afternoon Saturday.

At stake were berths in the national prep competition in mid-July at Guthrie (Oklahoma).

By the end of the week, a pair of North Dakota competitors left a mark.

Colton Turbiville of Rhame and Mattie Mastel of Marmarth were among the best in Montana.

Miles City also had a strong showing when Roan Burrows won the boys year-end and state title and Harley Meged took the girls year-end crown. Chalee Harms took girls state.

The week of rodeo started off Tuesday with cow cutting events at the nearby Graham Indoor Arena.

It ended Saturday with only one rider succeeding in staying on a bucking bull long enough to score in the Short Go. In Bull Riding it was Havre’s Cole Hould who succeeded and survived Ethan Marceau’s try on the final bull of the day to claim the win Saturday.

Hould came into the championship with 55 season points, behind Marceau’s 68 and Caden Fitzpatrick’s 64.

However, it was Hould who took best advantage of his stay in Baker, winning the 1st Go with 72 points, then followed it up with 79 points in the 2nd Go and icing the championship with his win Saturday in the Short Go. That gave him a total of

135.50 points.

Marceau finished the competition in second with a total of 118 points while Fitzpatrick was third with 94 points.

Baker’s Colton Turbiville of nearby Rhame (N.D.) was the first to claim a state championship with a win by one point in Wednesday’s cow cutting finals. He won the 1st Go with a score of 142, then placed second in the 2nd Go and was third in the Short Go. But Turbiville finished the competition with 140 points to edge Nathan Ruth of Big Timber by one point after leading him by three season points going into the championships. Roan Burrows of Miles City placed third in the championships with 134 points.

Turbiville would go on to have a strong showing in Montana’s state prep rodeo championship, winning one title, placing second in the .22 shooting comptetion, fifth in the Cow Horse and sixth in the Tie Down, Chalee Harms of Miles City won the girls Cow Cutting competition with 147 points, beating out Bailey Benson of Worden and Georgia Orahood of Malta. Harley Meged of Miles City placed fourth.

Turbiville also placed second in the .22 caliber shooting competition behind Jacy Johnson of Whitehall. Logan Smith was third, while Nathan Ruth and Grace Wiening were fourth and fifth. In the shotgun shooting competition it was Chance Story winning, ahead of both Brice Patterson and Luke Murphy, who tied. Ruth was fourth and Turbiville was fifth.

In the Reining Cow Horse competition, it was

Chalee Harms winning a second state title with a score of 135, while Orahood was second and Reyna Warneke of Great Falls was third. Meged was fourth, just ahead of Turbiville and Mattie Mastel of Marmarth who placed sixth. That was one of two sixth-place finishes for Mastel.

In the Breakaway, Harley Meged of Miles City won the state crown by a one-point margin over Murphy Gaasch of Dillon. Marmarth’s Matti Mastel placed sixth, ahead of Chalee Harms of Miles City.

In the Steer Wrestling, it was Jacob Wang of Baker winning a share of the state crown by tying with Cole Detton of Great Falls. Both finished with 98 total points. Brennan Graham of Baker was third with 82 points. Jaden Whitman of Belgrade was fourth ahead of Kyler Afrank of Baker.

In Team Roping, the tandem of Luke Murphy (Helena) and Trace Fuller (Bozeman) took the top honors, edging ahead of Cole and Clay Helm of Miles City.

Alexis McDonald of Gardiner won the Barrel Racing Saturday, beating out Mckenna Schroeder of Missoula and Cheyanne Carl of Ballantine.

Lacy Lawrence of Jordan was fourth.

Mary Gibson of Havre, Manchi Nace of Laurel and Mylee Welch of Joliet were the top three finishers in Goat Tying.

In the Bareback competition, Sam Peterson of Helena came back with a win in the Short Go Saturday to win the state title, edging Kaleb Norstrom of East Helena by just one-half point. Ty Owens of Townsend was third.

In the Pole Bending competition, Dalaney Sca-

fani of Whitehall won all three rounds at state to grab the state title, while Meged was second and Braleigh Garrett of Butte came in third.

Garrett Cunningham of Broadus won the Saddle Bronc championship, beating Judd Applegate of Deer Lodge, and Gavin Nelson of Wibaux. Kyler Afrank of Baker placed fifth, just ahead of Quanah Glade of Miles City.

In the Tie Down, it was Luke Murphy of Helena beating out Cole Helm of Miles City for the state crown. Garris Robertson of Whitehall placed third, ahead of Bozeman’s Trace Fuller. Turbiville was sixth.
