Lip-smacking, finger-licking New food truck offers meaty goodness

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

In a land that prides itself on raising top-quality cattle — and where vegetarianism is highly discouraged — it seemed only logical to open a business focused on preparing and selling delectable dishes with meat as the main ingredient.

Enter the Wurst Wagon, Bowman’s newest food stop.

Owned by Bowman residents Kelly Molitar, 29, and Zac Eslinger, 33, the Wurst Wagon is one of the few places in southwest North Dakota where customers come out licking their fingertips free from barbeque sauce. Its menu caters to meat lovers, but not just in Bowman.

It’s a mobile food truck, meaning the maroon, top-of-the-line vendor — its side emblazoned with a giant pink pig serving as its logo — can go where the customers are.

The Wurst Wagon’s inaugural event was Mandan’s Arts in the Park earlier this summer, followed by the Bowman County Fair, where Bow-

Swimmers, boaters beware: Blue-green algae reported in Bowman-Haley The North Dakota Department of Health and Agriculture, Animal Health Division, have issued a blue-green algae warning for Bowman-Haley Reservoir due to high levels of microcystin in the water.

Microcystin is a cyanotoxin caused by blue-green algae. When present in water, cyanotoxins are dangerous for both people and animals.

Swimming or consuming water from the dam should be curtailed until further notice. Boating should be done with caution so water is not accidentally ingested.

The NDDoH was notified of the algae bloom earlier this week and confirmed the presence of the bloom and collected water samples on July 20.

Water tests by the NDDoH revealed microcystin levels 15 times recommended safe levels. The production of blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, often happens in hot weather in bodies of water that are used by people, pets, and livestock.

Microcystin, reported last week at Bowman-Haley Dam, is a cyanotoxin caused by blue-green algae. When present in water, cyanotoxins are dangerous for both people and animals. Swimming or consuming water from the dam should be curtailed until further notice. Boating should be done with caution so water is not accidentally ingested. (Photo courtesy NDDoH) affected water can cause illness in people and animals, and can result in death. There are no known antidotes for the toxins. Blue-green algae discolor the water they live in, and can cause foam, scum, or mats to appear on the surface. People and animals that swallow water containing cyanotoxins can become sick with severe diarrhea and vomiting; numb lips, tingling fingers and toes; dizziness; or rashes, hives or skin blisters.

Children are at higher risk than adults for illness because their smaller size can allow them to get a relatively larger dose of toxin.

Non-human surrogates

An ‘inside’ look at a Bowman County ranch’s bovine embryo transfer program

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

You may driven around North Dakota and noticed a business that features the word “genetics” in its name.

Well, behind the doors of that business is most likely a large freezer full of a vital item for today’s ranchers: bull semen.

But a large cattle ranch in southern Bowman County is proceeding beyond the process of artificial insemination in an attempt to massproduce the best genetics possible.

As Terry Mrnak, co-owner of Mrnak Herefords in Bowman, says, human insemination through artificial means has always been considered a miracle when nine months later a child arrives.

What many don’t know is that some ranchers, including the Mrnaks, have been conducting such processes on their cattle for decades.

In fact, the original artificial insemination of a livestock dates back to the early 1800s.

What Mrnak’s ranch is doing, however, is more advanced. They are implanting heifers with an already fertilized embryo through their embryo transfer program.

Embryo transfer, abbreviated as ET, is an advanced reproductive technology and a progressive tool that helps produce more offspring from an elite cow and can extend the impact of outstanding cattle genetics, according to the American Embryo Transfer Association. The bovines essentially become surrogate mothers.

“It’s a long process,” said Wayne Mrnak as he herded cattle into a barn on a hot July day at his family’s sub-

(Above) A heifer is loaded into the “hugging” machine that applies firm pressure to keep cattle from moving during the embryo implantation procedure. The process only takes a few moments from the time the young, female cow is loaded into the device. It’s then harmlessly released.

Mrnak, along with his brother Terry Mrnak and Terry’s son Brent Mrnak, run the reputable farm and ranching operation.

stantial ranch.

The female donor cows undergo artificial insemination with quality bull semen then the fertilized embryos are implanted into female black cows that will, in the spring, give birth to purebred Hereford calves.

The reproductive potential of each normal newborn calf is enormous. There are

an estimated 150,000 potential “eggs” or ova in female bovines and countless billions of sperm produced by each male. By natural breeding, only a fraction of the reproductive potential of an outstanding individual can be realized, according to a 2007 study on ET authored

IN BRIEF Cloud seeding Week 7 update An upper level ridge last week brought above normal high temperatures and decreased occurrences of thunderstorms 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 one reconnaissance flight on July 19. No seeding was done, as rain enhancement is only

consultant from Texas.

But the initial process of artificial insemination is just as important to many modern-day ranchers.

Artificial insemination, which could be described as messy at best, may be used for many reasons, including to allow a male to inseminate a much larger number of females, to allow use of genetic material from males separated by distance or time, to overcome physical breeding difficulties, to control the paternity of offspring, to synchronize births, to avoid injury incurred during natural mating, or to avoid the need to keep a male at all.

Insemination of cattle,

and other livestock, is very common in today’s agriculture industry, especially for breeding dairy cattle, which accounts for 75 percent of all insemination, according to Trans Ova Genetics, recognized as a source of superior reproductive expertise.

Though western North Dakota doesn’t see too many dairy cows.

Embryo transfer, which became popular and more affordable in the early 2000s, takes the process further to ensure that the bovines produced are of top quality.

About 50 head of cattle are rounded up at a time and chuted through to a massive “hugging” device that keeps

being conducted under optimal conditions. A hail suppression flight occurred later on the evening of July 19 as storms became more organized. Two additional hail suppression flights were flown on July 22 and both of these aircraft were forced to land in Beach due to inclement weather in Bowman.

Including repositioning, six flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

The upper level ridge flattens out this week and North Dakota should experience zonal (west to east) flow. This means that after today, temperatures will moderate to near normal highs in the 80s with daily chances for isolated to scat-

tered thunderstorms.

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.

Goehring activates Harvest Hotline Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has activated the North Dakota Harvest Hotline.

“Farmers who need custom combining and combiners looking for a job should call us at 701-425-8454,” Goehring said. “Your name and information will be entered into the Harvest Hotline database to be matched up with other callers.”

a single heifer still using firm yet harmless pressure.

The person implanting the embryo, while wearing a thick glove that stretches to his or her shoulder (you can imagine why), performs rectal palpation on the heifer then implants the embryo using a long rod. The egg catches into the cow’s uterus.

It only takes a couple minutes then the heifer is sent on her way, hopefully with a bun in the oven.

The ordeal is noisy, dirty and sometimes dangerous if close attention is not paid, but it’s nothing today’s ranchers aren’t familiar with.

With artificial insemination it is possible to exploit the vast numbers of sperm produced by a genetically superior bull, however the reproductive potential of the female has been largely unutilized, according to Blezinger.

A typical heifer will produce an average of eight to 10 calves in her entire lifetime under normal management programs. Like artificial insemination has done for the bull, embryo transfer is a technique that can greatly increase the number of offspring that a genetically important cow can produce.

It has been said that to dramatically improve the genetic base of a given cow herd it will take 10 to 20 years to accomplish using only natural service. By incorporating artificial insemination, these improvements can be seen in seven to eight years. Blezinger noted that through the use of an aggressive ET program this change is accelerated to four to five years, which means more cattle at a faster rate for Mrnak’s ranch.

Goehring said North Dakota Department of Agriculture employees will answer calls to the hotline weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Callers can also leave a message on evenings and weekends. The service is free of charge.

A self-service Harvest Hotline map is also available again this year. The map can be found by clicking on “Harvest Hotline” at http:// www.nd.gov/ndda/. Users may click on the black pinpoint icons to retrieve information about harvesters available in their area.

“Both farmers and combiners are already utilizing the service,” Goehring said.

First implemented in 1992, when adverse weather conditions caused a heavy demand for custom combining, the Harvest Hotline has been offered annually as a free service for farmers and combiners.

Last year’s Summerfest seems difficult to top. With thousands of people coming to Bowman, for both the annual summer festival and the all-school reunion, it seemed as if there were events at every corner.

But there are still a lot of things on tap for this year’s event.

There will be more food vendors and free stages for the event, which takes up most of Main Street in Bowman.

Accompanying the three-onthree basketball tournament, children will be entertained by blow-up games and inflatables, popular attractions last year, along with a kiddie train and dunk booth. Main Street businesses will also offer sidewalk sales.

The evening’s entertainment will commence with the Summerfest Rib Cook-off at Windy’s Bar and Pizza, followed by a band sure to entertain the crowds until the night hours.

“We’re excited for a good Summerfest,” said Becky Brooks, co-chairperson for the Summerfest Committee, dDespite going up against last year’s attendance numbers.

“We’ll be down (this year), but we know that.”

“It will be a beautiful store,” said Chris Walters, president of DBS Group of Onalaska, Wis. Dirt work is currently underway at the site. Foundation work will begin early next month and construction will be “substantially

The new store will include grocery, liquor, deli, bakery, produce, meat, dairy and frozen departments, Walters said, adding that it would also be an energy efficient building with modern LED lighting, HVAC and

refrigeration systems incorporated.

Bronson’s will have a separate entrance — separated from the entrance to the Shopko and Ace Hardware plaza — off Highway 12, complete with a large, welllit parking lot.

then off to the Twin Buttes Motocross Track the following day. Then they’ll pack up to leave Bowman for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally then the Bottoms Up Run in Marmarth.

Bowman Auto Parts parking lot, Molitar said they’ve stayed pretty busy. With a menu highlighted by items like pulled pork, tri-tip beef, brats, sausage and pork chops (also available on a stick), its Bowman’s go-to place for all things meat.

And the wait isn’t excruciating with the food premade earlier that day and placed on a steam table to ensure freshness.

Branching off of Molitar’s past experience running the small eatery inside her father’s shop, the idea for a food truck came from endless nights of research to develop a workable business model. The initial plan was to expand the Wurst Shop’s businesses with a storefront in the Black Hills of South Dakota. But a mobile food vendor seemed more doable.

“We can go to where the people are,” she said, not having to rely on customer traffic at one specific location.

But a permanent, sit-down location isn’t off the table as Molitar grinned when she said it could be a possibility one day.

The Wurst Wagon is located in the Bowman Auto Parts parking lot, near Kumand-Go at the corner of Highway 12 and Main Street, and is open throughout the week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., though times could vary.

President signs into law Heitkamp-backed bill to broaden tools for community safety

U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp this week announced the president signed into law a bill she strongly supported to help broaden tools to protect law enforcement and keep communities safe.

Long a champion for more robust tools for local law enforcement to safeguard communities, Heitkamp supported and helped pass the Protecting Our Lives by Initiating COPS Expansion (POLICE) Act, which will expand the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program to include federal funding that will prepare community law enforcement to respond to threats posed by active shooters.

“Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect the communities they love – and it’s our job to make sure they are effectively prepared to face mounting threats,” said Heitkamp.

“Earlier this year in Fargo, we sadly learned what it was like to lose one of our own police officers in the line of duty. With this new law, we are taking strong steps to make sure local law enforcement have the support and the training they need to respond to dangers posed to their communities, like active shooters, and enable

NDSU Yard and Garden Open House set for Aug. 4

The open house will feature guided tours of the NDSU bedding plant display gardens, research plots and the NDSU Historic Daylily Garden.

The North Dakota State University Department of Plant Sciences will host a yard and garden open house to celebrate horticultural research at the university. The open house is scheduled for Aug. 4 from 4 to 7 p.m.

The open house will feature walking tours of the AllAmerica Selections bedding plant display garden and the NDSU Historic Daylily Garden.

The NDSU Historic Daylily Garden is an official display garden of the American Hemerocallis Society and features more than 1,500 daylily cultivars. This is the largest public daylily collection in the nation.

The open house also will feature campus tree walks and a guided trailer tour of NDSU research plots that will highlight blackberry, grape and vegetable research.

In addition, NDSU personnel will teach sessions under the big tent on turf disorders, potato research, tomato diseases, rain gardens and pollinator garden design.

them to return home safely to their families each night.”

Heitkamp has long supported strong investments in COPS programs, helping secure funding for Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa’s crime prevention efforts, as well as new law enforcement roles and police officer positions in West Fargo, Tioga, Stutsman and Griggs Counties.

The POLICE Act builds on Heitkamp’s work to successfully fight for stronger resources for law enforcement officers. During National Police Week in May, the president signed into law two bills which Heitkamp cosponsored and helped passed in the Senate that will: · Provide federal law enforcement with tools to tackle international drug crime: Heitkamp helped introduce and pass the bipartisan Transnational Drug Trafficking Act which she cosponsored and pushed for, that unanimously passed in the Senate to close federal loopholes preventing law enforcement from going after and prosecuting drug traffickers who concoct substances that they know – or believe

will be – used to peddle illegal narcotics within the United States, before the drugs reach our shores. Too often these products end up in North Dakota as drug abuse and crime have drastically risen in the state. · Protect officers by supplying them with life-saving safety vests: Heitkamp has long advocated for policies that secure the best possible tools for law enforcement and emergency responders teams who put their lives on the line to protect our communities, and strongly backed Senate-passed legislation to make sure that law enforcement officers are equipped with bullet-proof safety vests to make sure they can come home each night to their families.

Since serving as North Dakota’s Attorney General, Heitkamp has long supported efforts to better protect local law enforcement in North Dakota and across the nation. Last June, the president signed into law the National Blue Alert system bill she supported and helped pass in the U.S. Senate which would help quickly disseminate information about suspects who are believed to pose an im-

mediate threat to law enforcement officers, or who are wanted in relation to the disappearance or the killing or an officer.

In 2014, Heitkamp launched her Strong & Safe Communities Initiative to help address some of the emerging challenges facing the state by bringing

Your community’s views We want to hear from you. Send your Letters to the Editor via email to bmartin@countrymedia.net.

Baby steps to a greater change Last week, as you may recall, I talked about decluttering my life. Well, rest assured I took action! However By (there’s always a LORI however or but, SOLA isn’t there?), I made For the the rookie mistake Pioneer of starting with my most difficult room in the entire house… my office/laundry room/game room/storage room number one.

If you are on either Bowman classified pages on Facebook, you have witnessed that I have dove into this project with both feet. I made a commitment to myself that I would get rid of items one way or the other by the end of the week.

Little did I know that one room would take me so long to shuffle through. To be honest, I got distracted. Not only did we swap out items, we took out one complete shelving unit that left me pondering where on earth am I going to put all that stuff?

Well, I got rid of almost enough stuff to fit it all onto another shelving unit in the same room. And quite frankly, I was very proud of myself!

But then (see? there’s the but!), I sat down at my desk and that’s when I felt I was going in the “A” gear in the John Deere tractor back in high school.

Super slow. Oh my stars! I remember when Dad would say I’d have to cultivate a field in either A3 or A4. It felt like such a death sentence compared to B1 and B2.

Sorry. I got distracted.

What was I saying? Oh yes. My desk. Paper is my worst enemy.

Sitting at my desk I wondered why on earth I keep so many notes. Notes for songs for the church choir or band, notes on books that piqued my interest, notes on websites to visit, notes on meetings, to-do lists, tips on essential oils, craft ideas, my son’s school papers and art projects, etc., etc.

Whoever thought we are heading to a paperless society, I say, “Ha! Never going to happen.”

Thankfully, the weather last week was too hot for this pale-skinned girl to be outside so the timing to stay indoors was perfect. And after too many days in my office, I can finally tell you that I can see the top of my desk!

Looking around my office, I actually feel lighter, happier and have a sense of accomplishment. Not everything has a home quite yet, but it is in much better condition than I started. My office is an unfinished room that lacks sheetrock on most of its walls, but I am a visionary! I see walls, paint and a functioning space instead of what’s always been a dumping ground.

While working at decluttering my office, I started listening to Joshua Becker (who’s Facebook page “becoming minimalist” I’ve been following) speak on “Minimalism, Spirituality, and Why it Matters” on You Tube. If you want practical advice rooted in faith, I strongly suggest you look this guy up on the internet, on Facebook or look into the several books he’s written. (I also enjoyed his take on why so many of us Americans are unhappy with our jobs and how changing our perspective and motivation can be the ultimate reward of enriched lives.)

Well, one room down and the rest of the house to go. I certainly am not Wonder Woman, but I’ll take these baby steps to a happier me. A quick word of advice: Don’t let stuff consume our time and deepen our desire for something more just beyond our grasp. Let’s stop living paycheck to paycheck and take inventory on what really matters. Each other.

Baby steps.

Haying season Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Pioneer

We’ve been busy haying the past few weeks. And where we live, it isn’t great, but it’s not bad. From where we live, near Dickinson, there is a fair hay crop. As you go south, it gets thinner. By the time you reach Bowman, or Harding County, South Dakota, it’s pretty dang tough. If you go north, the hay just gets better. By the time you reach Killdeer, unless the hail hit you, there is a pretty good hay crop.

I’ve often said that North Dakota has only two seasons.

“Feeding hay season”, and “making hay season”.

Whenever we start haying, it brings back lots of memories. Look over towards the shop in the evening and you can picture Grandpa Herb or Uncle Hugh sharpening a seven-foot sickle. Or replacing a wooden pitman. Usually

with a curious grandson or granddaughter sitting on a bucket watching. Just a little closer than they should be.

You can see Grandpa Jack, or Grandpa Darrel, heading for an old hay truck with a water jug wrapped in burlap bags to keep it cold. This was back before they invented ice.

I can remember Uncle Bill getting a small square bale off the top of a two-ton truck loaded with hay bales and weighing it, just out of curiosity. 110 pounds! And then throwing it back up on the truck by hand. Six tiers high!

I can close my eyes and see, just as clearly as if they were before Slim, Fat, Kenny, and me along with myself, heading out at daylight to start hauling little squares. Knowing that if we got a thousand hauled, we could quit for the day. And go swimming in an alkali lake.

I can smell Mom’s cooking when you came in from the hay field. Knowing there would be ice tea and a wonderful meal. And she would patch the holes we wore in our overalls. Or we would take Tehr Grease, and glue canvas on the fronts of your pants.

I can recall the year we

Two rounds this way, and one back. Two rounds this way, and one back. And knowing that someday, you would get to run the baler!

I remember Dad’s and Grandpas hands. Black with that old black grease from working on mowers and square balers and loaders and trucks.

I can remember Uncle Hugh and Grandpa Jack cutting hay on the res. In places that were too rocky for a cow to graze!

And they hayed and baled and stacked until the snow forced them to quit.

Hard work. And great memories.

Take a minute and smell they hay. You too can see your Grandpa, or your Dad, or yourself, and smile. As you look back on that stack of squares that is just perfect!

Pronghorn numbers up ND Outdoors By DOUG LEIER

For the Pioneer

Most North Dakotans can relate to the trials and tribulations of how fragile it is to grow a crop of any kind in the extremes of the Midwest. And it doesn’t matter whether the crop is thousands of acres of wheat or a few square feet of backyard tomatoes.

It’s not much different with annual production of deer, pheasants and pronghorn in North Dakota. While the jury’s still out on pheasant and deer production, it appears that 2016 was a good year for pronghorns, and that means hunters will find more units open and more licenses available this year.

“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,” Jeb Williams, wildlife chief for the State Game and Fish Department said.

What that means for this year is that Game and Fish is allocating 730 licenses in seven open units. That compares to 410 licenses last year in three open units.

For a historical perspective, North Dakota had a record number of pronghorn licenses in 2007, at nearly 6,100.

Two years later, on the heels of the severe winter of 200809, the number of licenses fell to 2,360.

In the fall of 2010 Game and Fish closed the pronghorn season and another severe winter in 2010-11 made the situation worse. The population bottomed out in 2012, but rebuilt enough for Game and Fish to reopen the season with a limited number of licenses in 2014.

Now, Williams said, “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.”

The details for the 2016 season indicate that along with units 3B, 4A and 4C in the extreme southwestern corner of North Dakota, which were the only open units in 2015, units 1A, 2A, 2B and 3A north to I-94 and beyond, also have a limited number of licenses.

In unit 1A 110 licenses are available, 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, 2016 to apply for a license.

Prospective hunters can apply online at the Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov , or via phone at 800-406-6409.Paper applications are available for printing off the website, and from license vendors.

The pronghorn license fee is $30, and the deadline for submitting applications is Aug. 3.

planted trees North of the House. A mile of the cutest little trees you ever saw. And I was running a new Versatile 400 swather. And I cut right up to that tree row and called it a day. Jerry came home from the river right at dark and saw that new swather sitting there. He couldn’t resist.

He had to make a round. One mile up cutting chokecherry bushes! One-mile back cutting bull pine! I don’t know the protein value in baby trees. But I saw a look in Shirley’s eyes I don’t want to see again.

I can remember when we got our first stack frame and began stacking loose hay. We were going to town then! Put two kids in the frame with pitchforks and start bucking hay in with an “A” John Deere. And riding down on the push off after the stack was finished. And looking back with pride on a perfect stack, that didn’t lean, and would shed water like a duck.

I remember switching Howard’s water jug with a real HiLex jug and waiting for him to take a drink. I was not a very nice little boy!

I can see a ten or eleven year old boy, the first time he was sent to rake a field.

JK Excavation and Construction repaired it and Denny’s Electric will be billed for the repairs.

When putting in a storm sewer, they found that an old sewer line came through the storm sewer, but they got it fixed.

A valve that was tied in going west was dead center of where the storm sewer was going to go through, so JK Excavation and Construction will work on moving it.

James is concerned about the Library because state funding could be dropped. When the state figures out state library aid, they take an average of three years of city funding given to the library and if you drop below 3% in amount given to them, they would lose the city library state aid funding for three years. They would still receive state library funding from the County. Motion by Limesand, second by Whitney to recommend a reduction of 15% on outside entities that request 2017 budgeted funds. Whitney commented that the City, as required by century code, is required to be the bad guys in order to balance the budget. RCV= all aye, MC.

BRONSON’S MARKETPLACE LIQUOR LICENSE: Liquor License: Allen presented a liquor license application for Bronson’s Marketplace.

They will not be opening their doors until approximately March of 2017 but they need to secure a license so they know if they need to designate an area for liquor during construction. Motion by Whitney, second by Sondeland to approve the Kelly Kessler liquor license application for Bronson’s Marketplace which is a Class III off sale Beer and liquor license.

RCV= all aye, MC. Motion by Whitney, second by West to waive the annual fee for Kelley Kessler’s liquor license until they begin business at their new location. RCV= all aye, MC. The annual fee will be prorated for the first year due to construction of the grocery store.

GARBAGE TRUCK BID: Bid Withdrawal and Acceptance of Second Bid: Allen stated the Westlie Truck Center withdrew their bid on the 2017 Garbage Truck. James read the withdrawal letter. Motion by Whitney, second by West to accept the letter of bid withdrawal on the 2017 Freightliner Garbage Truck in the amount of $166,050.00 from Westlie Truck Center. RCV= all aye, MC. The commission decided to go with the second lowest bid by Northland Truck Sales. Motion

Transfer: Motion by Limesand, second by Whitney to transfer $840.00 from fund 6080 Garbage Fund to fund 6085 Garbage Equipment Fund. RCV= all aye, MC. SNAVELY-BOWMAN REGIONAL LIBRARY Library Roof Project: The library roof is 20 years old and needs to be repaired. They received two quotes and have $32,000.00 for the project, plus the County will donate $15,000.00, so they are $7,600.00 short. They need to move the air conditioners off the roof which will cost and additional $1,300.00. The City owns the building and they felt that they needed the commission’s approval to do the work and were also requesting funds. Motion by Limesand, second by Whitney to allow the library board to pursue

work on repairing the library roof.

RCV= all aye, MC. Limesand asked them to wait until next meeting to allow us to look where funds can be pulled from at the next meeting.

BRIAN CARON Caron asked why his house was the only one to be torn down in 2005 when there was another house listed as 3rd St NW that was supposed to be torn down and was not. Caron insisted that there was a file at City Hall with this information regarding dilapidated houses in it. Keith King was in charge then and Allen stated that there is no file currently in City Hall and that King may have had the file when he worked out of City Hall. Allen also stated that the City Attorney has the file on his house and if he wants to know who filed the complaints against his house he would have to go see Attorney Wild. James told him that we could schedule for Attorney Wild to come to City Hall during the next meeting with his file on the Caron property and we could get things cleared up then.

OATH OF OFFICE James, Shear, and Vail read their oath of office and James handed them their Certificates of Election.

HOFLAND: Dept. Head Report: The street crew finished dura patching yesterday. They used 2,400 pounds of oil which is more than previous years.

Northside Addition Drainage Project: The dirt was hauled out to the Northside Addition drainage project to fix Hawn’s approach.

They haven’t seeded it due to the fact that we are not getting moisture and the seed will probably blow away.

Chip Sealing with the County: Two members of the street crew will start chip sealing with the County and one will stay in town to take care of city business.

Garbage Truck: Last week they had to repair the garbage truck again, but it’s going now.

MASON: Divide Water Main Project: This project is now complete except for the pavement repair which will be done sometime in July.

Boulevard Watering: Does the commission want the boulevards watered? The Commission felt that it wouldn’t be beneficial at this time. The well was down and that is why they did not get watered early in the summer. The east well is repaired and running now.

BROSZ Safe Routes to School Project: Sidewalks will be done being poured at the end of this week. Brosz explained that the curb and driveways on the east side of town by Bowman Glass and Consolidated there were originally 3” curbs and then it sloped up to the doorway; due to ADA requirements, there is a 4” drive over pad which slopes back up to the existing concrete where they tied in which was approved by the DOT and gives it more of an incline. The landowners were notified at the beginning of the project that there would be an increase in the height of the drive over curb. They said that would be fine because cars could park on the side of the building instead of the front.

Brosz stated Nordberg wanted a driveway because there wasn’t one there before and it would be beneficial instead of a stub wall as planned to go up by the quonset.

11th Avenue SW Project: They had an issue with sub grade in a section of the road because the sub grade turned to sponge.

They are reusing scoria, fabric and fifteen inches of gravel which made it stable again. So there will be extra scoria on the bill.

They are pouring curb and gutter on the east side and they will be

LegaLs

pouring for the next few days.

11th Avenue NW Project: Brosz requested the commission have James sign the decrease change order for this project. The original contract was $55,829.50, this change order would decrease the contract by $4,210.30, leaving a contract amount of $51,619.20.

Motion by Limesand, second by Vail to approve the change order on the 11th Ave NW Street Stabilization Project in the amount of a decrease of $4,210.30 leaving a contract total of $51,619.20 for Midstates Reclamation SD, LLC. RCV= all aye, MC. CHIEF HEADLEY: Dept. Head Report: Nuwash started her 5th week, she spends a few weeks with each officer.

Headley doesn’t see any problems and after the first of August she will go on shift. She is progressing along well.

“Popsicles with the cops” will be this Friday in the park. The popsicles will be purchased with private funds and it is a chance to meet the police officers so kids understand that they are approachable and not bad people.

FLOOD PLAIN PERMIT: Bronson’s Market Place will be constructed next to Newby’s Ace Hardware and they are in the flood plain.

Post 115 ends season in extra innings

LEAGUE CHAMPS

By COLE BENZ

For The Pioneer

The Post 115 Bears ended their season in the quarterfinals of the Class B West Region Legion Tournament in extra innings on a walk-off single by one of Surrey’s best hitters. The final score was Surrey 4, Hettinger 3.

Brandon Pierce was on the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game tied at 3-3 when he threw a curve ball to the Surrey batter. The hitter ducked to avoid the inside pitch and the ball hit the brim of his helmet, sending him first base.

That runner would eventually make it to third when Surrey’s best hitter came to the plate.

John Reiten, who had started on the mound for Surrey and went seven strong innings, was facing a 2-1 count when head coach Nolan Dix conversed with his coaching staff about intentionally walking him.

“I looked at both assistant coaches and I said ‘we should walk this guy,’” Dix said. “I said ‘he’s their best hitter.’”

Pierce then threw a curve that found the strike zone to even the count at 2-2, but then Reiten did his damage. He took the next pitch and found a hole in the defense, lacing a line drive into open space and driving in the winning run.

“That was my bad,” Dix said. “I should have just went with my gut instinct and walked him, but we didn’t.”

The Bears tied the game in the top of the seventh inning on an error. Alex Bartholomay was on third base with two outs, and Surrey leading 3-2. Brett Christopherson grounded to the third baseman who overthrew the ball to first on the putout, allowing Bartholomay to make it home safe and tie the game.

After throwing 101 pitches, Dix sent his ace pitcher, Pierce, to the mound to relieve Jarad Mattis, who started and went six innings. Mattis would end his day with three earned runs, five hits and four strikeouts. Mattis also had seven walks Pierce went three innings, had one earned run, a strikeout, a walk, and a hit batsman. He had a three-up-threedown seventh inning. He issued his walk and earned his strikeout before getting out of the eighth. He allowed the deciding run in the ninth and final frame after hitting his first batter.

Holding Surrey to only three runs after issuing eight walks and a hit batsman says a lot about the defensive game of the Bears. “[Our] defense played well,” Dix said.

The Bears played an error-free game and had to knock down at least five groundouts to stay in the game.

Cole Osendorf went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored. He tripled to lead off the sixth inning and was driven home by Pierce. Pierce went 1-for-4 with an run batted in.

Mattis went 1-for-4, and Bartholomay went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Both Christopherson and Damon Mellmer went 1-for-4.

•The Season The Bears went 8-9 in the regular season and 2-2 in the postseason, and Dix thought his team played well, and team chemistry was at high level.

“All the kids played well together,” Dix said. “I think [the team] played well, I think they enjoyed the season.”

Post 115 is made up of athletes from Bowman, Scranton, Hettinger, and New England.

•Next Season Dix, who coaches the high school team, said he saw a significant improvement from his players since the Night Hawks started in March, and he expects some of that talent to translate to next season.

“We [have] a lot of good hitters [coming] back,” he said.

The legion team should be getting some fresh talent too, with kids aging out of the Babe Ruth league and playing for Post 115, though some will still be eligible to play on both teams.

Dix will have to work on replacing some talent lost to the age rule next season. Each of Brandon Pierce, Damon Mellmer, Dan Baesler, Ryan Sime and Cole Osendorf will not be eligible to play next year.

Dix said there will be a meeting in September regarding next season. On the docket for discussion is realignment.

Some teams will be the subject of moving up to Class A, which Dix said Post 115 could be a candidate for.

The head coach also said he wants to bring his team to a tournament or two next year, in hopes of getting his squad some experience against a wider variety of competition.

Prospective pronghorn hunters are reminded the deadline to apply for the 2016 hunting season is Aug. 3.

Applicants can apply online by visiting the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov, or by calling 800-4066409. Paper applications are available for printing off the website, and from license vendors.

A total of 730 licenses are available in seven open units – 1A, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A and 4C. All licenses are valid for any pronghorn.

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 archery equipment, and again must stay in the assigned unit.

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

remaining licenses will be available Aug. 3. Paper applications for remaining licenses will be mailed to individuals the week of Aug. 1. The deadline for applying is Aug. 24.

Deer lottery held, Antlerless licenses remain

Look for tagged salmon

North Dakota’s deer gun lottery has been held and individual results are available online at the State Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov.

More than 1,600 antlerless deer gun licenses remain. Only resident applicants who were unsuccessful in the first lottery can apply for remaining licenses.

The first lottery application process – deer gun, muzzleloader, youth and landowner – had more than 102,000 applicants, and over 51,000 were unsuccessful.

Anglers who catch a tagged salmon are reminded to turn in the heads and report information to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.

Anglers can identify a tagged salmon by looking at the adipose fin – a small fleshy lobe found on the back toward the tail. If the fin is missing it was likely removed by Game and Fish biologists and the salmon probably has a micro-tag embedded in its head. There is no external tag.

Micro-tags are inserted into a sample of young salmon before being stocked into Lake Sakakawea.

This microscopic tag is implanted near the snout, and contains a

code that identifies stocking information.

Heads can be turned into Game and Fish, or local bait shops in Riverdale and Pick City. Anglers will be provided information about the fish when tags are extracted and read by biologists.

Game Warden exam set for Aug. 5

Individuals interested in taking the district game warden exam scheduled for Aug. 5 are reminded to register no later than Aug. 1, by submitting an online application through the North Dakota State Job Openings website.

The test is at 10 a.m. at the department’s main office in Bismarck.

Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and have a bachelor’s degree at time of hire (tentative hire date is Oct. 1), have a valid driver’s license and a current

North Dakota peace officer license, or be eligible to be licensed. Candidates must have excellent interpersonal skills in communications and writing, and must not have a record of any felony convictions.

District game wardens enforce game and fish laws and related regulations in an assigned district and other locations as determined by the department. Wardens normally work alone under varied conditions, at all hours of the day, night and weekends. In addition to law enforcement duties, wardens assist in the areas of public relations, education programs, and hunter and boat safety education.

Salary through training for a district game warden is $3,800 per month. Upon successful completion of training, the monthly salary ranges are $4,260 - $7,100. Wardens also receive the state benefits package, including travel allowance. Uniforms and other equipment are provided.

Scrutinizing linebackers Last week we took a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive tackle 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’ linebacker depth chart is stronger than it has been in recent decades. The Vikings have had some very good LBs in the past, from Jack Del Rio and Ed McDaniel in the 1990s to E.J. Henderson in the 2000s. However, when it’s all said and done, this group may be the best to ever don the purple and gold.

Starters: Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks, Chad Greenway Anthony Barr was selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft. Most Vikings fans, myself included, were surprised at the selection. Luckily for us, Barr has turned out to be a fantastic selection under the tutelage of Mike Zimmer. After the 2015 season, Barr made the Pro Bowl, which will likely be the first of many. Pro Football Focus gave Barr a player grade of 93.4 as well, which was good for second best of any LB in the league.

“He has the potential to be the best linebacker to ever play the game, in my eyes,” Adrian Peterson about Anthony Barr on NFL Network.

Eric Kendricks is from the same college as Barr (UCLA) and was a second round draft pick in 2015.

Even though he is on the smaller side for a LB, Kendricks makes up for it with his instincts and technique.

Despite only starting 11 games in his debut season, Kendricks led the Vikings in tackles and was fifth on the team with four sacks. PFF gave him a player grade of 58.9, good for 56th (out of 97 qualifying LBs). Already an above-average LB who is stout against the run and able to impressively stack and shed blockers, Kendricks will have to improve his coverage before he is considered great.

Chad Greenway is entering the final year of his career after re-signing with the only team he’s ever known this past off-season. Already third on the Vikings’ career tackle list, Greenway (735) only needs three tackles to overtake Chris Doleman for second and 37 to surpass Carl Lee for first.

Backups: Audie Cole, Kentrell Brothers, Emmanuel Lamur Audie Cole has been with the Vikings since 2012, and just signed a one-year

The Vikings Vine By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

contract to remain in Minnesota. Cole was only on the field for 38 defensive snaps last year, and there is only $40,000 in guaranteed money on his contract, so it’s entirely possible he is replaced by a younger player with more upside.

Kentrell Brothers was drafted in the fifth round of the most recent draft. Mark Dulgerian of NFL Network had the following to say about him after the draft: “Brothers was a production machine at Missouri thanks to his high football IQ & reactionary quickness. He’s a solid addition to one of the NFL’s best linebacker crews and has exciting long term upside.”

Emmanuel Lamur was a priority signing by Mike Zimmer and the Vikings this

past off-season. After spending his last three seasons in Cincinnati, Lamur will likely be the primary backup LB in Minnesota.

On the bubble: Jake Ganus, Edmond Robinson, Brandon Watts Last season, the Vikings kept 6 linebackers on the opening day roster, and that will probably be the case again this year. Jake Ganus was an undrafted rookie out of Georgia and will likely end up on the practice squad. Edmond Robinson started two games for the Vikings in 2015, but will likely end up as a final cut simply due to the depth at the position. Brandon Watts has managed to stick on the roster for the past two seasons, but will likely end up a casualty of the depth, just like Robinson.

Next week we will be taking a look at the cornerbacks. If you have anything specific you’d like to know about them, or if you have any comments or questions about the defensive ends, reach out to me! E-mail: skoljwright@gmail.com, Facebook: facebook.com/ skoljwright, or Twitter: @ skoljwright.

DESIGN SPACES

Floral summer joys A zoning map is a good guide for planting

By LINDA BROOKS For The Pioneer

Every home and every yard can be considered a canvas – the canvas can be added to, subtracted from, or allowed to evolve through the years depending on our likes and dislikes.

For instance, in any given year I might try various color combinations, different heights of plants or different families of plants. It is important to use plants that are zoned for our climate (we are between a 3 and a 4).

Our country is divided into planting zones, (1-24 for 49 states, Hawaii is zoned H1 and H2). Zones depend on rainfall, freeze patterns, and the number of growing days from planting to harvest. We also have growing regions – mid-west, mountain, northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast.

Each day and every season we have the opportunity to change our environment to suit our tastes or we can have one look, adding seasonal touches. This is entirely subjective depending on the various tastes of the individuals involved.

Today I’m highlighting photos from a friends’ home in Minnesota, photos from Wellington, New Zealand’s Botanical Gardens, photos from Rapid City’s Reptile Gardens, and interior photos in my home.

The colors and texture choices are so varied and the size of plants’ and blossoms can vary from very diminutive to very large. One thing that we were so awed about in New Zealand was the size of the blossoms on the plants – a blossom here could be 3 inches across, the same plant there would have a 10 inch blossom – this is, in part, due to a growing season that goes on year round and rain that may happen every day.

Going from -20 to +80 degrees in about 14 hours was startling to our senses.

Some of the pictures you may view with this article are: Minnesota – pink geraniums in full bloom in the winter and a colorful yellow/ green plant.

New Zealand – pink coleus, air ferns, a star bromeliad, and a begonia.

Rapid City – orchids, star

flowers and a wall of plants.

Home – Phyllis 1, (a philodendron named by my daughter, Bridget), and my Christmas cactus in full bloom. We are caring for Bridget’s plants – she could not take them when she and Tim moved to New Zealand). In the 4 years they have been in NZ, Phyllis has grown to be Phyllis 1 and Phyllis 2.
