Couple buys boy new bicycle after his is stolen

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

O

ne of the greatest joys for a 12-year-old boy is riding his bicycle, enjoying some semblance of freedom in the long, hot summer months.

That joy, along with the remaining few days of summertime fun, was stolen from Cory Humbracht on Sunday.

He emerged from a movie at the Bowman Theater to find his precious possession was gone.

But this story, unlike many others in this position, has a happy ending thanks to the generosity of strangers.

Saul and Ruth Botello had only met Cory’s mother, Marissa, briefly when they were viewing an apartment to rent last year in

Bowman. It was sheer happenstance, when Saul reached out to The Pioneer seeking contact information for the person whose bicycle was stolen, that he was presented with Marissa’s number.

The Botellos, who moved to Bowman from Phoenix in 2007, wanted to purchase Cory a new bicycle.

“My wife and I bought the bike because of kindness, and trying to make (Cory) smile,” Saul told The Pioneer on Wednesday.

Saul once felt Cory’s pain, too.

“I remember when my dad bought me my first BMX bike at 11 years old and how I loved it so much,” Saul continued.

Then it was stolen and never recovered.

He was devastated, no longer able to ride around with his friends.

While it might not be an official listing, it was good to see Bowman’s quality of life recognized nationally in a recent online Top 10 list.

Bowman placed No. 4 on www.OnlyInYourState.com’s list of the Top 10 places to live in North Dakota (Stanley ranked No. 1) OnlyInYourState bills itself as a not-too-serious website that tasks its writers to scribe interesting facts and develop top lists within each state.

The website takes a fun, informal approach to helping readers discover things to do in each of the 50 states, and is read monthly by more than 30,000,000 people.

The results quickly dominated social media pages around the area, namely posted on the Facebook walls of many Bowman residents.

“Considering moving to North Dakota and want to know where the best places are?” read the website, “or maybe you’ve lived here all your life and are just curious if your town made the list.”

Factors taken into consideration included crime rate, cost of living, education, amenities, and more.

Placing two spots higher than Dickinson, Bowman was cited has having a low cost of living and one of the lowest crime rates in the state.

“You’ll be able to relax in the small town life — the population is only 1,650 — and be surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery found in that part of the state,” stated the website. “It’s close to some lovely places and has all the amenities you’ll need.”

The list included the cities of Libson at No. 10, Grand Forks, Beulah, Oakes, Dickinson, Minot, Fargo, Bismarck and Stanley.

School meeting delves into policy, relations

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Along with two new school board members and a new superintendent, the Bowman County Public School District now has a new board president.

Dan Peterson was elected as board president following the expiration of Kevin Bucholz’s term.

Bucholz had initially nominated Russ Homelvig, who declined the spot because he said he didn’t feel he could faithfully execute the roles

of president.

“I’m flattered,” Homelvig said, but cited his lack of accessibility and visibility that is needed for the person in that position.

Stacy McGee then nominated Peterson, who accepted the position and was elected by his board peers in a unanimous roll call vote.

Peterson then took over the meeting to elect a new vice president, which turned out to be McGee. But it were the concerns voiced by newly elected board member

Tobiann Andrews that advanced the conversation during much of July 20’s two-and-a-half-hour regular school board meeting.

A chief concern stemmed from the recent resignation of Chelsey Schwindt, paraprofessional and varsity volleyball coach. Andrews requested a motion be placed on a future agenda to discuss teacher retention. The school has lost several long-term teachers in the recent years and Andrews believed it was problematic.

“I think we need to have a seri-

ous discussion on what we can do to keep these staff members,” Andrews stated, indicating there are issues that need to be addressed.

She suggested a set of guidelines for new teachers, including not being on social media with their students, not having student cell numbers in their phones, “simple things like that.”

Superintendent Dave Mahon suggested it be brought up with building principals. He also mentioned the creation of mentorships that could help with transitional is-

Mahon later passed out material to school board members that highlighted some ideas when considering public comment during board meetings, which he said plays into community relations.

IN BRIEF

Cloud seeding Week 6 update

Storm systems early last week brought moisture and some severe weather to southwest North Dakota. In the District 1 operations area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP), which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted reconnaissance flights on July 11 and 13. No seeding was done, as rain enhancement is only being conducted under optimal conditions. A hail suppression mission involving two aircraft occurred on July 14 as storms moved southeast across the area. In all, four flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

An upper level ridge will build over North Dakota this week providing some of the warmest conditions of the summer. Chances for rain will be slim with a possibility of widely scattered storms late in the week.

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.

Second case of Zika Virus reported in N.D. The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) has confirmed a second case of Zika virus illness reported in a North Dakota resident. The individual who tested positive for Zika virus is a man who traveled to Costa Rica. This case was not hospitalized for his illness.

Zika is typically spread to people by a bite from an infected mosquito. Zika can also be spread from a mother to her unborn child, through sexual contact, and likely through blood transfusions. The mosquitoes that are known to transmit Zika have not been found in North Dakota.

The NDDoH has the following recommendations for those returning from Zika affected area: - All travelers should consult their health care provider if they develop illness, such as sudden onset of fever, rash, conjunctivitis (red eyes), joint pain, muscle soreness or pain, or headache, within 14 days of returning from Zika affected areas - Men returning from an area with Zika virus transmission should either abstain from sexual activity or correctly and consistently use condoms for all sexual acts; men should contact their health care provider for advice on how long they need to abstain or use condoms - Pregnant women should consult their health care provider and seek testing for Zika virus between two and 12 weeks after returning from a Zika affected area - Even if they do not feel sick, all travelers returning to the United States from an area with Zika should take steps to prevent mosquito bites for three weeks following their return - Travelers who become ill should be particularly careful to avoid getting additional bites from other mosquitos during the first week of illness - Travelers should not use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, to treat symptoms.

Halleck Mine reclamation snags top industry award

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

It wasn’t too long ago that a sizable chunk of earth in Bowman County randomly opened up and nearly swallowed its surroundings. It would soon become one woman’s job to ensure that the vulnerable plot of land, a former coal mine, would never again pose a danger.

Joan Breiner led a team with the North Dakota Public Service Commission’s Abandoned Mine Lands Program last summer to execute the painstaking mission of reclaiming the Halleck Mine, located only several yards south of the city of Bowman’s dump grounds.

The project was finished in a timely manner and without incident, eventually leading Breiner and her team to be recognized as producing one of the highest quality coal mine reclamation projects in the nation.

“The Halleck Mine Project in Bowman is another example of our state’s strong reclamation program. We continue to work to ensure federal rules allow for state leadership, both in producing the energy our nation needs and ensuring the quality of our envi-

ronment,” commended Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., a member of the Senate Energy and Appropriations Committees.

“North Dakota continues to prove that good environmental stewardship does not need to come at the cost of jobs or the economy,” Hoeven added in a statement.

The Halleck Mine was an underground mine that operated from about 1919 to 1944. The coal seam at this mine was 30 to 40 feet thick and the top of the coal seam was only 10 to 50 feet below the surface. Sinkholes were common in the area and previous exploratory drilling had located mine voids near public roads and a large 30inch diameter high-pressure natural gas pipeline. In 2014, emergency repairs had to be completed due to several large sinkholes that severed a fiber optic telecommunications cable and were within 90 feet of the pipeline.

The reclamation project primarily involved drilling and grouting to locate and fill underground mine voids along public roads and near the pipeline.

Special safety measures had to be taken during the drilling and grouting to pre-

vent any damage to the pipeline while ensuring the voids were filled.

“Because of the reclamation fee being paid by current mine operations, the PSC is able to repair some of these sites that were abandoned decades ago,” said Public Service Commissioner Randy Christmann, who holds the coal mining, reclamation and AML portfolios. “It allows us to protect our infrastructure and our citizens without using taxpayer dollars. This was a particularly challenging project and our team did a great job.”

The goal of the AML Program is to eliminate hazards related to coal mining that was conducted prior to the enactment of the 1977 federal reclamation act. The Commission receives funds for the program from the federal Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement from the collection of a federal reclamation fee that is collected on all coal that is mined.

The award will be presented in September as part of the National Association of Abandoned Mine Lands Programs annual meeting in Bozeman, Mont. Breiner will also present a paper on the project at the meeting.

Woman serving life sentence dies in prison

By COLE BENZ

For The Pioneer

A women convicted in the 1990 murder of a Dickinson woman died after being found unresponsive inside a New England correctional facility.

Jayta Schmidt, 52, serving a life sentence for murder at the North Dakota State Women’s Correctional Center in New England, was pronounced dead July 15 at CHI St. Alexius medical center in Bismarck. She was found unresponsive earlier

that morning while inside the prison.

She was transported to Dickinson by ambulance before being airlifted to Bismarck, according to information released by the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

DWCRC Warden Rachelle Juntunen was unable to comment due to the ongoing investigation.

Documents filed on July 11, 2016 — four days before her passing — with the North Dakota Parole Board said Schmidt was denied re-

lease. The document cited “seriousness of the offense” as the reason for denial.

Schmidt was originally charged with murder, a Class AA felony, in the Feb. 7, 1990 death of Cindy Owen in Dickinson, according to court documents. The criminal complaint stated that Schmidt shot Owen multiple times with a handgun.

Her court case lasted most of 1990. The court found her guilty in January 1991.

She was sentenced to life in prison.

The criminal judgment was signed Jan. 16, 1991 by Southwest District Judge

Allan Schmalenberger, with Schmidt earning credit for time served beginning on Feb. 7, 1990.

According to court documents, she was immediately transported to the North Dakota State Prison by the Stark County Sheriff ’s Department following the court proceedings.

Schmidt was scheduled to go in front of the parole board again in July 2031.

The case is being investigated by the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and the State Medical Examiner.

The Hettinger County Sheriff ’s Office also assisted.

ect, delineated survey results from people that lived in Bowman and one of the weaknesses cited was a lack of cohesiveness between the school and community.

Bucholz explained to the board that he attended the meeting.

“There’s a couple things at play,” Bucholz admitted. “From a chamber’s perspective, they want all these new hires to come downtown and shop locally.”

But he admitted it “bugs” him when the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce schedules a meeting when there is a concert; the meeting then draws a lower attendance and the chamber becomes frustrated.

Both sides need to work together, he said.

Andrews then mentioned professionalism on behalf of teachers, which she acknowledged was a concern.

“We had a spouse of an administrator outside a meeting inside the building cussing as people walked into the meeting,” Andrews said. “That’s not acceptable. We need to set a higher standard.”

She also briefly mentioned some comments from teachers to students that are then heard in public and are inappropriate.

“As these items are brought to your attention, I would trust that you would bring it to the principal’s attention,” Mahon told Andrews.

The frustrating part, however, is when such matters are addressed with administration, “nothing’s been done,” she said. “There’s been no communication.”

Andrews said she’s coming onto the board with a fresh perspective, not having previously served for the school.

Merle Clark, at 78, is still ranching and gathering history for the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman, ND. He has also been a rodeo cowboy, rodeo announcer and auctioneer. He will appear on NBC’s Special Cowboy Moments TV show at 5 p.m. CDT July 23.

Marmarth rancher to be featured on NBC’s ‘Special Cowboy Moments’ Merle Clark is a bit of a western enigma.

At 78 years old this Marmarth, ND rancher has no desire to retire from ranching.

And his thirst for history has been a foundation for creating the Pioneer Trails

T

Regional Museum in Bowman, ND, which is home to not only southwestern North Dakota’s pioneer/ ranching history but the region’s prehistoric past.

In addition, Clark has lived the life of a rodeo

cowboy, rodeo announcer and auctioneer. Plus, you need not get very far into any conversation with him before you discover that he is a noted historian, with in-depth knowledge on everything from dinosaurs to

Colonel George Armstrong Custer.

Thus his appearance on NBC’s weekly Special Cowboy Moments television show at 5 p.m. CDT July 23, is a treat and feast of interesting facts.

“You can ask one question and he’s off and running with a smorgasbord of statistics,” said Kevin Holten, North Dakota Cowboy Association president and producer of Special Cowboy Moments. “I think we could do 10 episodes on Merle Clark.”

Clark is the grandson of a man they called “Stuttering Clark” for obvious reasons, and he is the son of North Dakota rodeo legend Elmer Clark.

As Clark tells it, his grandfather used to literally tie his father, Elmer,

who was under 10 years old at the time, to wild broncs and make him break them by letting the bronc loose in the countryside and allowing his son to wear the bronc out.

On at least one occasion a neighbor spotted a bronc speeding across the horizons with something flopping in the saddle. As it turned out it was little Elmer Clark, knocked out.

“It was nothing short of legal child abuse,” Merle Clark said, “but it certainly taught by dad how to ride broncs. And it caused many neighbors to hold Stuttering Clark in low regard.”

Elmer Clark would go on to become a rodeo legend, being one of only two or three men to ever ride the infamous Buffalo, S.D., bronc named Tipperary.

Merle also went on to be a rodeo participant and, in 1960, lent Ted Kennedy his chaps and spurs at the Eastern Montana Fair in Miles City, MT so that Kennedy could ride a bronc. The younger Kennedy was there to campaign for his brother, John F. Kennedy, who was running for president at the time. It turned out to be a great publicity stunt but it was a definite risk for someone who’d never been on a bronc.

“He did okay,” Clark said.

Special Cowboy Moments is a weekly half-hour show that appears each Saturday at 5 p.m. CDT on NBC North Dakota. Its purpose is to gather rich history for generations to share. SCM is sponsored by Shetler’s Construction and Dickinson Truck Equipment.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Bowman brings girl with Down Syndrome closer to dream Kara Jackson, a Catholic teenager with Down Syndrome, has a goal to visit all 50 states — not as a tourist but with a mission to assist at Mass as an altar server at 50 different churches in all 50 states. Kara and her parents, Rick and Tina, hail from Middletown, Ohio and recently stopped in Bowman on their pilgrimage to obtain Kara’s goal. She was able to serve Mass in the chapel at the long term care unit of Southwest Healthcare Services with the residents, the Catholic Daughters, and The Rev. David Morman.

Kara completed training to be an altar server at the age of nine and says, "When you serve at Mass, you feel you are closer to God.” The inspiration for serving Mass

in all 50 states came in 2013.

Her parents were a bit skeptical and took her to visit their parish priest. She received encouragement from her former pastor, Msgr.

Paul Metzger, a priest for over 70 years who had celebrated Mass in each of the fifty states. Rick and Tina have fully embraced their daughter’s goal; in many ways they see themselves as missionaries who encounter the goodness of their Catholic faith in the people across the United States. Serving Mass here in Bowman was her forty-fourth state. From North Dakota the Jacksons planned on going to Montana and Idaho before returning to Ohio this summer leaving only New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii.

The Rev. David Morman of St. Charles Catholic Church in Bowman stands with Kara Jackson, a teenager from Ohio whose dream is to give Mass in all 50 states, and her family.

Breakdowns on the rise depite tech advances Despite advances in vehicle technology, AAA rescued a record-breaking 32 million drivers in 2015.

While maintenance reminders and other dashboard alerts are designed to mitigate roadside trouble, AAA reports they provided service for more battery, flat tire and key problems than ever before. Vehicles fewer than five years old in particular experienced a higher proportion of tire and key-related issues than older vehicles, suggesting that the trend toward eliminating the spare tire and moving to electronic keyless ignitions may have unintended consequences.

“Vehicles today are advanced more than ever, yet are still vulnerable to breakdowns,” said Cliff Ruud, AAA’s managing director of Automotive Solutions.

“Sleek, low profile tires are highly susceptible to damage, electronic keyless ignitions can zap battery life and despite advanced warning systems, more than half a million drivers ran out of gas last year.”

Owners of new vehicles may be unaware that some new vehicle designs and features may leave them vulnerable at the roadside. To reduce vehicle weight and boost fuel economy, spare tires are being eliminated from new vehicles at alarming rates, and are being replaced with tire inflator kits that can only remedy some

flat tire situations. Additionally, new keyless ignition systems can drain the battery life when keys are stored too close to the vehicle and can lock a driver out of the vehicle while the engine is still running. Finally, despite nearly all new vehicles being equipped with low fuel warning alerts and range estimations, a higher proportion of drivers are using these systems to push the limits between fuel ups.

Other key findings from an analysis of AAA’s 2015 roadside assistance data include: Battery failures, flat tires and keys locked inside the vehicle remain the top roadside assistance requests.

Vehicles fewer than five years old have a higher proportion of tire, key and fuel-related issues than older vehicles. Due in part to complex, electronic vehicle designs, one-in-five service calls for a newer vehicle required a tow to a repair facility.

Vehicles between 6 and 10 years old have the highest proportion of battery-related issues, as most batteries have a three- to five-year life.

Roadside assistance calls peak in the summer (8.3 million) followed by winter (8.1 million), fall (7.8 million) and spring (7.7 million).

Drivers are most likely to request roadside assistance on Mondays and least likely to request assistance on Sundays.

Despite advances in key technology, AAA came to the rescue of more than four million drivers locked out of their vehicles.

To help prevent millions of roadside breakdowns from happening, AAA offers the following recommendations for common roadside problems: Check for a spare tire: Before purchasing a car, check that the vehicle includes a spare tire. If it doesn’t, consider adding one as an option. Tire inflator kits -which have replaced spare tires on tens of millions of vehicles --cannot remedy all types of tire damage.

Check tires: At least once a month, check the tire pressure to ensure proper inflation. This affects tire wear and vehicle handling. Tires should be rotated based on the manufacturer’s recommended schedule for the vehicle.

Lockouts: AAA recommends motorists take special care of their “smart keys” and keyless entry fobs. Always take keys when exiting the car, avoid exposing keylessentry remote or smart keys to water and always replace the key or fob battery when recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Battery: AAA recommends that drivers have their vehicle’s battery tested when it reaches three years of age and on an annual basis thereafter.

The Bowman County Fair Board would like to

THANK EVERYONE

who helped at the Fair!

Pack an emergency kit: A recent AAA survey shows that more than 40 percent of motorists do not carry an emergency kit in their vehicle. AAA recommends that every driver have a well-stocked emergency kit, which includes a mobile phone and car charger; a flashlight with extra batteries; a first-aid kit; drinking water; extra snacks/food for your travelers and any pets; battery booster cables; and emergency flares or reflectors.

As North America’s largest motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides more than 56 million members with travel, insurance, financial and automotiverelated services. Since its founding in 1902, the notfor-profit, fully tax-paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. AAA clubs can be visited on the Internet at AAA.com.

Time to declutter

A big change has been looming over me since January…what is the future of Dale’s Clothing? And what does the future hold for me?

By We have one answer as LORI Dale’s locked its doors SatSOLA urday, but my future? It’s For the still to be determined.

Pioneer I’ve done a lot of thinking over the past five months.

I’ve gone from sheer panic to almost an eerie calm.

I am welcoming this opportunity to be once again a stay-at-home Mom (at least for the time being). It’s time for a change and obviously the timing is perfect. The change I am seeking is to declutter. Declutter my mind and home.

Even though I desire to do this, I am apprehensive. I feel excited, but nervous. Can I do this?

For most of my life, I’ve been a careful spender. If I spend too much, I feel guilty. A prime example was when I was a teenager and bought a big plush panda bear. I was so proud to spend my own money on this bear, but when he sat on my rocking chair motionless in my room I felt guilty spending that money on a needless item. I promptly returned him the next time we went to town.

As an adult, I was in a very controlling relationship. I was not allowed to spend money regardless if I earned the money myself or not. Not even for a mop. I was told I could get down on my hands and knees to wash the floor.

When I started over, I had little to my name. I remember rejoicing with pure glee when I had enough to splurge on a $15 kitchen rug. I learned to buy only what I needed. After I got married to Scott, my penny pinching ways got us through a time when we were carrying two mortgages and had a small toddler.

Since then, my spending habits changed yet again. I got to a point where it felt good to buy something simply because I liked it and I had the money to do so. When I got a job that gave gift certificates to the store, once again I got into the habit of buying things I really didn’t need.

Today, I look around my home and can see the purchases I made that were not necessary.

Did those purchases prohibit my family from a fun outing?

Although I do not have hoards of stuff, it is still distracting to me. Most of the larger items in my home come with family ties (great aunt, grandparents, parents, etc.) and is always hard to part with.

The smaller stuff gets shuffled from one pile to the next waiting to be put away. I have a donation pile, a sell pile, and a pile that quite frankly I’m not sure what to do with.

All this stuff is weighing me down and prohibiting me from doing hobbies I used to enjoy.

So now, since I have some time on my hands, I am going to revisit each room, each closet and hold each item to determine if I should keep, toss, donate or sell.

A friend read that each item you keep should bring you joy. I can tell you right now very few material possessions bring me joy. How about you?

Another friend told me to take my time in finding another job. Life isn’t about financial richness, it’s about living life and enjoying the riches of family. We fill our lives with needless stuff we work so hard to obtain. But at the end of the day, did I make my son smile? Did I feel good about myself? Did I do something for someone else just to make their day better?

I am embracing this time to reprioritize my life. Maybe once I declutter my surroundings, I’ll rediscover simple joys, have a better attitude, and find a job that I was always meant to have.

This isn’t going to be easy, but I’m ready to be on a journey to a happier me.

P Dunn County’s wicked hail storm fo Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Pioneer

A week or so one of the strongest hailstorms in recent memory hit the town of Killdeer, North Dakota.

I’m sure most of you saw it on the news, or on pictures posted on social media.

Shirley grew up at Killdeer. We ranch near Killdeer. And I feel I’ve been part of Dunn County since I started to sneak in to Theresa’s bar nearly 50 years ago.

The town is full of our friends, neighbors, and relatives. And since the Bakken boom, it has been the home for hundreds of

workers from all across the nation.

I first started getting reports of the hailstorm when news flashes came across TV. Then pictures started being posted on Facebook.

Then we started calling friends and relatives to see how they had fared.

Most of us have been through hailstorms. Many of us have been caught in a brief hailstorm when horseback, or watched a hailstorm coming in from the west in a big thunderhead.

We’ve felt that hot, humid air switch to a chilling breeze and realized that in a few moments, this year’s wheat or corn crop would probably be harvested by the “white combine”.

I drove up to Killdeer to check my cows and some alfalfa I had hoped would make a second cutting.

Some showers that actually gave us a good hay crop have hit that area. Some-

was worried about a cow.

Damn me.

By now, the windows are boarded up. The siding is being replaced. The roofers are replacing shingles and the totaled out cars and pickups have been towed or hauled out of town.

And hopefully, the shock has been replaced with a sense of resolution and the rebuilding is in progress.

And thankfully, in all that devastation, a few physical bruises will heal.

And the Dunn County spirit will heal the emotional bruises that remain.

from last year.”

Sharp-tailed grouse counts on spring dancing grounds or leks were down about 6 percent statewide from last year. “We were kind of expecting that,” Robinson said. “We had some dry weather last year and production wasn’t as good.”

While the spring counts provide a good indicator of the number of breeding birds in the two populations, Robinson says it’s primarily early summer weather that influences hunting success in the fall.

“You have to have the right conditions to produce a good hatch,” he said. “You don’t want really wet, cold years, and you don’t want dry years. Dry years don’t produce those insects that chicks need to survive those first 10 days.”

Game and Fish biologists are just getting started with their summer upland game

brood counts, and Robinson said that will lead to more precise fall population predictions. “That’s when we really start to understand what our production was for the year.”

Pheasant crowing counts are conducted each spring throughout North Dakota.

Observers drive specified 20-mile routes, stopping at predetermined intervals, and counting the number of pheasant roosters heard crowing over a two-minute period during the stop.

Biologists count male sharptails on their dancing grounds in 25 monitoring blocks throughout the state, and numbers within each block are compared from year to year.

One other quick note, the Game and Fish Department has scheduled an examination to select candidates for the position of district game warden, Aug. 5.

Upland game ND Outdoors By DOUG LEIER

For the Pioneer

In July most people are still associating the outdoors with fishing, boating or camping, but it’s also a time when talk of hunting starts working its way into conversations.

And that seems only logical, considering the early Canada goose season, the first major 2016 “fall” hunting season, opens on Aug. 15 with, officially speaking, still a month of summer left to go.

We won’t know for another month or more what hunters can expect for fall upland game populations

relative to last year, but North Dakota Game and Fish Department biologists recently announced spring survey information for pheasants and sharp-tailed grouse, which suggests there’s not significant changes from 2015 heading in the nesting season.

North Dakota’s spring pheasant population index was up slightly from last year, while sharp-tailed grouse numbers were down slightly, according to Aaron Robinson, Game and Fish upland game management supervisor.

The number of pheasant roosters heard on the spring crowing count survey was up just about 2 percent statewide, Robinson said, adding that in the southeast numbers were down from last year, while “the other regions from west to central were up slightly, but not enough to say there’s a big increase

thing that eludes much of the Dakota prairies.

When I saw the alfalfa, I felt kind of bad. The hoped for second cutting had been cut off and beat into the ground. But the cattle weathered the storm in good shape. None dead. No eyes knocked out. Just a few bumps and bruises.

I drove into Killdeer and a sense of guilt came over me. I drove by trailer after trailer that had been decimated. Many homes beyond repair. The siding was gone. The windows on the west and north were gone. The roof damage was tremendous. And I was worried about a few bales of hay.

I drove by the housing east of the elevator.

Pride of Dakota Day slated for July 25 at state fair More than 20 North Dakota companies from around the state will be displaying, sampling and selling their products at the 28th annual Pride of Dakota Day, Monday, July 25, at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot.

“You’ll find a wide range of quality Pride of Dakota products, such as food and condiments, artwork, books, apparel, jewelry and much more,” said Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. “It’s a great time and place for fairgoers to meet, shop, and share lunch.”

The annual event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., under the large tent near the southwest corner of the fairgrounds.

"The Pride of Dakota lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” Goehring said. “For just one dollar, you’ll get a grilled hot dog, potato chips and milk.”

The lunch is sponsored

by Cloverdale, Dean Foods, the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association and Pan-O-Gold Baking Co. The proceeds go to North Dakota FFA Foundation.

Goehring also encouraged fairgoers to take part in the Pride of Dakota Food Contest and the Snack Stick Challenge at 3 p.m., just outside the Pride of Dakota tent.

“Fairgoers will have the opportunity to taste a variety of foods featuring North Dakota fruit as an ingredient and meat sticks made by North Dakota companies,” Goehring said. “It’s another fun opportunity to taste and vote for the best the state has to offer.”

Goehring said that fairgo-

Post 115 loses first game of West Region Tournament

By COLE BENZ

For The Pioneer

Editor’s Note: At the time of this printing the tournament was still in progress.

Sloppy defense doomed Post 115 as they dropped their first match of the West Region Tournament in Bismarck to the Crosby Cubs 8-6.

Facing off against a team

they previously held to no hits during the regular season, the Bears kept it tied through three innings before allowing the decisive two runs to score late in the game.

Starting on the hill for the Bears was Jacob Dix. He went three innings and gave up three earned runs.

He had two strike outs and surrendered two hits be-

fore being relieved by Brett Christopherson.

Christopherson took the loss after giving up three runs. He also tallied three strike outs.

Dix brought in Jarad Mattis to finish the game. He gave up two runs and tallied two strike outs.

“I know I’ll be questioned because I started my number four pitcher,” Dix

said. “I’d do it again, when you only give up that many hits [but] have five errors in the field, that isn’t going to win you any ball games.”

Dix said his team hit well, but Crosby’s defensive cues were perfect all game.

“We had guys hit the ball, but right to [the defenders],” Dix said. “It was crazy.”

The Bears could have

done some damage in the final inning with the heart of the order. In the bottom of the seventh, the Bears had their 3-4-5 hitters due up, but after Brandon Pierce recorded the first out, Hudson Pierce was the only one to reach safely before the next two batters popped out, sending the Bears to the losers bracket.

Beulah takes District 5 Babe Ruth tourney

For The Pioneer Beulah demonstrated what most people thought, which was that they are the best team in District 5. Even

after going 1-1 through their first two games of the tournament, and battling back through the loser’s bracket of the double-elimination tournament, they ended up champions. They have a deep pitching staff,

which is needed in this type of tournament with restrictions on the number of innings a pitcher can pitch.

The Hettinger/Scranton Bears had a great first day as they defeated Washburn 5-0 behind the no-hit, 17

strikeout performance of Warrick Dilse. Dilse struck out the side three times. Jeran Anderson of Hettinger/ Scranton had the key hit of the game with two-run single in the second inning.

Other first round action had Hazen downing Heart River 7-2, Beulah over Lemmon 17-3 and Bowman trouncing New Salem 22-7. New Salem has not had a Babe Ruth team for very long and only had nine players at the tourney.

Two loser bracket games started the second day as Washburn was victorious over Lemmon 11-1 and Heart River defeated New Salem 16-1.

The Bears then squared off with tournament favorite Beulah in the second round of the winners bracket. This was one of the better games of the tourney as Mason DeFoe of Hettinger/Scranton and Braydon Moore of Beulah

hooked up in a pitching duel.

The score was tied at one apiece going into the top of the seventh and final inning. After Bo Wilson of Hettinger/Scranton lead off with a walk, Beulah brought in Mason Dolbec to replace Moore. Dolbec looked like the ace of Beulah’s pitching staff, but the wheels fell off as Beulah’s defense recorded three errors, a couple of wild pitches and two hits by the Bears brought home six runs.

DeFoe faced only five batters in the bottom of the inning to secure Hettinger/ Scranton’s 7-1 win. The last out was a fine defensive play by W. Dilse as he fielded a grounder behind second base and flipped the ball to Kyle Burwick for the force out at second.

DeFoe had nine strikeouts and walked only one batter while giving up two hits.

GAME AND FISH NEWS Some hunter education classes available

Adults and children looking to take a hunter education class in 2016 are reminded to enroll at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov.

Hunter education coordinator John Mazur said the majority of classes were held by the end of May. However, he said classes will still be added throughout the year as they become finalized.

“Our volunteer instructors will be adding classes, but not nearly as many as we move toward the fall,” Mazur said. “That’s why it is

important to monitor our website and to act quickly when a class suits your needs.”

To register, click on the hunter ed enrollment link and “list of hunter education courses.” Classes are listed by city, and can also be sorted by start date. To register for a class, click on “enroll” next to the specific class, and follow the simple instructions. Personal information is required.

Those who do not have access to the Internet and want to sign up for a class can call the hunter education program in Bismarck at 701-328-6615.

Individuals interested in receiv-

ing a notice by email when each hunter education class is added can click on the “subscribe to news, email and text alerts” link found below the news section on the department’s home page.

Check the box labeled “hunter education class notification” under the education program updates.

In addition, SMS text notifications of new classes can be sent directly to a cell phone. Simply text “NDGF HunterClass” to 468311 to subscribe to this feature.

State law requires anyone born after December 31, 1961 to pass a certified hunter education course to hunt in the state. Hunter educa-

tion is mandatory for youth who are turning 12 years old, and children can take the class at age 11.

Help in run defense Last week, we took a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end depth chart.

If you happened to miss the article, you can find it on my Facebook page through the web address that’s listed below.

The Minnesota Vikings finished with a top five defense in 2015, but one area they could use some help in is run defense. Gone are the days when the Williams wall was lining up at defensive tackle, making the Vikings one of the best teams in the league against the run. Last year, the Vikings finished 17th in the league, allowing 109.2 yards per game on the ground. In yards per carry (ypc), the Vikings were 21st, allowing 4.3 ypc. However, in the stat that counts the most the Vikings were third in the league, allowing only seven rushing touchdowns all year.

Starters: Linval Joseph and Sharrif Floyd

The Vikings Vine By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

Acquired in 2014 via free agency, Linval Joseph had an underwhelming first season in purple and gold.

Joseph found success in his second year under Mike Zimmer, however, ending the season with a player grade of 94.4 per Pro Football Focus, ranking him the third best defensive tackle in the league.

Only 27 years old, Joseph has many more years of productivity left. The one downside to Joseph last year was his ability to stay healthy, as he only played

in 13 games (including the playoffs). Hopefully last year was an aberration, because Joseph only missed two starts in the four seasons between 2011 and 2014.

Sharrif Floyd will enter 2016 as the starter next to Linval. In 2015, Floyd was given a grade of 75.4 by PFF, ranking him 50th in the league amongst defensive tackles. Recently turning 25 years old and entering his fourth season, Floyd will look to finally prove to the world that he is worthy of the first round draft selection the Vikings used on him in 2013.

Floyd, like Linval, missed four starts due to injury in 2015. Floyd became a full-time starter in 2014, and over the course of the past two seasons, he has only started 24 of a possible 33 games. With a player of Linval Joseph’s caliber lining up next to him demanding a double team, Floyd should

Pronghorn hunting season set North Dakota’s 2016 pronghorn hunting season is set, with 730 licenses available in seven open units, according to Jeb Williams, wildlife chief for the State Game and Fish Department.

Along with units 3B, 4A and 4C, which were the only open units in 2015, units 1A, 2A, 2B and 3A will hold a limited number of licenses.

“Overall, our pronghorn numbers are up 34 percent from last year, with better fawn production of 66 fawns per 100 does compared to 52 per 100 in 2015,” Williams said. “With an average winter, the foundation is set for an even larger increase next year as many other units are doing well and are close to opening with the observed population levels. But we are continuing to be conservative to ensure steady population growth throughout the pronghorn range.”

A total of 110 licenses are available in 1A, 60 in 2A, 40 in 2B, 35 in 3A, 110 in 3B, 300 in 4A and 75 in 4C. All licenses are valid for any pronghorn.

Similar to last year, each unit will have a season that is split into an early “bow-only” portion, and a later gun/ bow season.

The bow-only portion of the season is from Sept 2 (noon) – Sept. 25. Anyone who draws a license can hunt pronghorn with a bow in the unit printed on the license.

From Sept. 30 (noon) – Oct.16, hunters who still have a valid license can use legal firearms or bow equipment, and again must stay in the assigned unit.

Only North Dakota residents are eligible to apply for a 2016 pronghorn license. Williams said people who have accumulated bonus points and choose not to apply this year will not lose their points.

In addition, state law allows youth who turn age 12 on or before December 31,

grade (81st). Johnson will be 32 years old in August.

Last season, the Vikings kept four defensive tackles on the opening day roster so Kenrick Ellis and Shamar Stephen will likely be battling it out to make the active roster. Ellis likely has the edge because of his size.

Between Joseph, Floyd and Johnson, only Joseph is a mammoth, run stuffing defensive tackle which means the Vikings will likely prefer to keep Ellis as a backup to Linval.

On the Bubble: Theiren Cockran, Toby Johnson,

be able to dominate in oneon-one situations because of his speed and athleticism.

Backup: Tom Johnson and Kenrick Ellis Tom Johnson was technically a backup in 2015, but he ended up starting eight games while also playing more snaps than either Joseph or Floyd (793 snaps compared to 576 for Joseph and 581 for Floyd). Coming off a phenomenal 2014 season where he was one of the better defensive tackles in the NFL, Johnson fell back to earth a little bit, ending 2015 with a 68.2 player

Travis Raciti, Shamar Stephen It will be difficult for one of the defensive tackles on the bubble to make the active roster. The starters and primary backup spot are set in stone, leaving only one spot left (which will likely go to Ellis). Cockran is an interesting story, as he is an undrafted rookie out of Minnesota. Even though he is listed as a defensive tackle on the Vikings’ website, at only 258 pounds, Cockran will likely transition to defensive end at the pro level.

With temps in 100s, prepare for heat stress in cattle Heat stress could become a problem for livestock because of a pocket of slowmoving hot air that is forecast for the upper Great Plains next week.

“The greatest impacts of heat stress come when cattle are exposed to a combination of elevated temperature and humidity over a period of time,” says North Dakota State University Extension Service beef cattle specialist Carl Dahlen. “Hot and humid conditions during the day can stress cattle, but cooler temperatures at night serve as a relief from the heat of the day.

“If forecast models are correct, daytime highs in the upper Great Plains will be in the mid-90s, with lows in the mid to upper 70s,” he adds. “These conditions present danger to cattle, and as we progress into the

BICYCLE

FROM PAGE 1

Sara Steiner, whose family owns Bowman Theater, was working the night that the bicycle was discovered as stolen.

An evening viewing of “Finding Dory” let out and Cory was the last to leave, trailing behind with his friends. His bicycle, which had been haphazardly stationed to the side of the theater’s entrance, was now nowhere to be found. Steiner, who had checked outside just before the curtain closed, estimated it must have been taken in the final moments of the movie.

At first Cory believed it was somebody playing a joke; perhaps they just moved it somewhere else.

Young boys tend to enjoy playing pranks on each other.

But searching the area didn’t provide any hope. His BMX bike, complete with its grenade shaped tire caps, was gone.

Steiner consoled the boy and gave him a ride home.

Marissa took her son to the police department to report the theft the following day.

That’s where Cory learned one of the several lessons he would encounter throughout the ordeal.

“We were told it wasn’t his place to retrieve the lost bicycle,” said Marissa, who repeated the words of Bowman Police Chief Chuck Headley. Thinking it’s your property and demanding it be returned could lead to potential problems. Instead, the police should be notified.

Cory and his mother were also told that bicycles could be registered with the police department for $1, which makes them easier to return if found.

That same day Cory believed he saw somebody, whom he described as being his same height, riding his missing bicycle. He tried to follow to see who it was but only saw his rear tire, and those grenade tire caps.

He thought his hopes

hottest part of the summer, a quick review of steps producers can take to manage and monitor conditions for heat stress is in order.”

NDSU Extension meteorologist Daryl Ritchison expects Wednesday and Thursday ( July 20-21) to be the warmest days.

“With the high heat also will come high dew points, meaning it will be both hot and humid,” he says. “Heat indexes over 100 degrees may occur, especially on Wednesday and Thursday.

The good news is that those extremes are only expected to last a couple of days, with other days more typical of this time of year, with maximums in the 80s.”

Being proactive is the best way to deal with heat stress in cattle, according to Gerald Stokka, NDSU Extension veterinarian. He

recommends producers actively monitor temperature and humidity forecasts to anticipate when heat stress conditions will be developing.

“Once cattle are in a severe state of heat stress, you may be too late to help them,” Dahlen cautions.

“Having a solid management plan in place to address heat stress could pay big dividends in the form of maintained animal performance during periods of heat and in avoiding death losses in severe cases.”

Heat stress occurs when cattle are not able to dissi-

were dashed.

When the theater posted about the incident on its Facebook page late Sunday evening, The Pioneer shared the post on its own page, applauding the theater for now allowing youths with bicycles to park them in the lobby.

Though it was sad it had to be done, it was heartwarming to see the local business take a step to help thwart such occurrences in the future.

Saul was randomly scrolling along his newsfeed that same night and came across The Pioneer’s post. He wasted no time in asking how to contact the boy or his parents. With Marissa’s permission, her phone number was relayed and Botello texted Marissa soon after that he and his wife wanted to purchase a replacement.

They picked one up in Dickinson the next day, even asking for specifics of what they wanted.

“It was unreal,” said Cory.

His mother agreed, surprised by the generosity and kindness of relative strangers.

But that’s what a community does. It stands up for inequities and helps correct what is wrong or broken — and Bowman has never been short on its community standards.

Saul said he saw himself in Cory, understanding the unfortunate situation as it had before happened to him.

“The joy coming from (he) and his parents was priceless,” Saul, 25, said.

Saul and Ruth, 21, who have a two-year-old son and a baby girl due in September, met Cory and his parents Tuesday night to

present the bicycle. It was a green BMX bike that even had pegs for riding around his friends. They each shared warm embraces before they parted ways.

The biggest lesson Cory learned is unfortunately becoming too true around Bowman County: to never let down your guard or become too content with the widespread sense of security the small town once enjoyed. Thefts are happening at a higher rate now than several years ago.

He had never thought twice about needing a bicycle lock.

“It’s Bowman,” he emphasized.

Cory, who will be a seventh grader this year, said he’ll now be sure to keep his new bicycle locked whenever parked around town. All he needs now is a bike lock.

pate heat.

“Mammals have involuntary methods of regulating their internal body temperature, including shivering and sweating to maintain ‘homeostasis,’ or a constant, stable environment,” Stokka says. “Signs that animals are trying to maintain homeostasis include an increasing respiration rate, increased heart rate and increased panting. While animals are using extra energy, their feed intake declines.”

Dahlen and Stokka recommend producers take the following steps to pro-

tect cattle from heat stress: For pasture cattle, evaluate the condition of water supplies and ensure plenty of high-quality drinking water is available.

Identify animals that are most susceptible to heat stress. They include feedlot animals closest to the market endpoint, very young and very old animals, and those with dark hides.

Know when to intervene.

A combination of factors, including temperature and humidity, drives heat stress.

Develop an action plan to deal with heat stress.
