One of Bowman’s Busiest Weekends: 2015 Bowman High School All Class Reunion Mixes with Summerfest, Ty Tuff

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net The Bowman High School All Class Reunion was a big success.

An estimated 1,500 people attended the reunion, with events from July 23 to 26. That exceeded earlier expectations of seeing about 1,000 people come to Bowman for the reunion.

While Kelly and Penny Binek of Minot first ran with the idea of hosting an all class get-together, it realistically took a big crowd of volunteers and contributors to bring the whole thing together.

Joy Naico, a retired teacher at Bowman County Schools, helped with the massive registration for the reunion, which was stationed at the Rouzie Recreation Center in Bowman.

“I met so many wonderful alumni and would definitely help with registration again,” Naico said cheerily.

Naico said almost 600 people were counted on Friday night for the prom, but they lost count the next day.

“When I look at the photos of class gatherings, you can quickly see that not everyone registered,” Naico said.

Two local men are facing criminal charges after an incident that occurred Tuesday night in Scranton.

Christopher Lewton, 24, of Scranton and Austin Caron, 24, of Bowman were both arrested Tuesday after the Bowman County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of reckless driving around Scranton.

According to an affidavit in support of complaint filed Wednesday in Southwest Judicial District Court, Bowman County Sheriff Rory Teigen said the call from state radio indicated that Lewton and Caron were driving around while throwing fireworks out of the vehicle.

Shortly after the first call, it was said that one of the suspects fired a shotgun inside the city, Teigen said in the affidavit.

A group of citizens informed Teigen that the suspects were located in a residence on Gordon Street, just east of Sacred Heart Catho-

WEATHER

High winds, unique clouds break dry, hot streak

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net A lull in the dry, hot conditions brought some change this week to the recently uneventful weather in Bowman County.

The National Weather Service in Bismarck issued numerous severe thunderstorm warnings for Bowman County on Monday evening, as a strong system moved into western North Dakota from Montana.

Pea-sized hail, heavy rain and frequent lightning were the bulk of the weather events across the county from that storm.

Once the storm passed, however, a unique yet eerie formation of clouds attracted vast social media attention from area residents. A long stretch of rolling, ball-shaped clouds made for a perfect summertime photo, draped in front of the colorful sunset. People took notice

and started posting such photos to Facebook.

The clouds were identified as mammatus clouds, a pouchlike cloud structure. According to AccuWeather.com, they’re a rare example of clouds in sinking air—most clouds form in rising air.

For a mammatus cloud to form, according to the website, the sinking air must be cooler than the air around it and have high liquid water or ice content.

They derive their name from their appearance, like the baglike sacs that hang beneath the cloud resemble cow’s udders.

Mammatus clouds are longlived if the sinking air contains large rain drops and snow crystals since larger particles require greater amounts of energy for evaporation to occur.

Over time, the cloud droplets do eventually evaporate and the mammatus clouds dissolve.

They are in essence upsidedown clouds. The sharp bound-

ary of mammatus is much like the sharp boundary of a rising cumulonimbus cloud before an anvil has formed.

Despite popular misconception, mammatus clouds are not a sign that a tornado is about to form.

While associated with thunderstorms, mammatus clouds are not necessarily an indicator of severe weather.

The clouds stretched for miles across the area before dusk on Monday.

As the short-lived severe storm system moved northeast out of the county, the National Weather Service issued a high wind warning for most of western North Dakota, including Bowman and Slope Counties. It went into effect from the early Tuesday morning hours to Tuesday evening.

The forecast called for strong, sustained winds, with gusts po-

NEWS BRIEFS Weather modification week 8 update Last week ended with severe thunderstorms rumbling through southwestern North Dakota. Beneficial rains fell last weekend providing most of the District 1 operations area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project with moisture. In the District 1 operations area, which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted rain enhancement operations on July 21, 23, and 25 and hail suppression on July 25 and 26. Bowman County lifted their suspension for rain enhancement on July 20. In all, 8 flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

This week begins with another chance for severe thunderstorms associated with a cold front moving across the state. By Tuesday, the cold front passes through and high temperatures should return to normal with more settled conditions occurring for the remainder of 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.

State-based beef checkoff goes into effect Aug. 1 Producers selling cattle in or from North Dakota will see a change in their beef checkoff beginning August 1. This is the date House Bill 1238 goes into effect. It adds a new, refundable dollar to the mandatory $1-per-head national checkoff producers pay each time a beef or dairy animal is sold to support beef demandbuilding programs.

“Beginning on August 1, 2015, cattle sold in or from North Dakota will be subject to both the mandatory national beef checkoff as well as a refundable $1-per-head state checkoff,” said Nancy Jo Bateman, executive director of the North Dakota Beef Commission (NDBC). “The state checkoff program was initiated

by North Dakota cattle producers, who have seen the value of the checkoff’s

promotion, research and education efforts, and passed overwhelmingly during the 2015 North Dakota Legislative Session.”

Clark Price, a fourthgeneration cattle producer and feeder from Hensler, N.D., expects the new dollar to bolster beef checkoff programs by expanding funds available for beef product research, promotion and consumer education.

“We are proud of the beef we raise here in North Dakota and look forward to expanding the reach of the beef checkoff to consumers across the state, nation and world,” said Price, who also serves as the chairman of the NDBC, which is comprised of nine voting and two ex-officio producer members representing the North Dakota beef production chain.

Price said he and fellow

North Dakota is the 14th state in the nation to implement a state-based checkoff in addition to the national checkoff that has funded research, education and promotion on a state, national and international basis since 1986.

Consistent with other state commodity checkoff programs, the state beef checkoff will be refundable for those who do not want to participate.

Per state law, refund requests must be made to the NDBC within 60 days after the date of sale on which the checkoff was collected. The completed refund application and record of assessment must be returned to the NDBC within 90 days after the sale.

Find more information about the new checkoff at www.ndbeef.org or by calling (701) 328-5120.

commissioners, who are responsible for the state checkoff investment decision-making, see research as a high priority for the new funds. “Scientists at both North Dakota State University and the USDA Agricultural Research Service Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks have conducted some cutting-edge research projects regarding beef’s role in human nutrition, insulin resistance and diabetes control, and we want to make more of this possible. We are also interested in new product development that maintains beef’s role as the preferred protein.” These were among the many investment priorities identified by North Dakota beef industry stakeholders at a recent strategic planning session hosted by the NDBC in May.

Increased patrols for impaired driving enforcement during the month of June resulted in 1,207 citizen contacts across North Dakota. Forty-one law enforcement agencies, including the North Dakota Highway Patrol, participated in the focused enforcement during the first 30 days of summer travel.

A total of 870 citations were attributed to the added patrols with 90 accounting for driving under the influence arrests and 44 drug-related violations.

Sixteen citations were given for having an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the vehicle and 22 offenders were minors consuming alcohol.

Increased law enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to eliminate roadway deaths in North Dakota. Alcohol-related crashes, which are considered preventable, caused nearly half of the traffic fatalities in North Dakota last year.

Funding for additional traffic safety enforcement is provided by federal grant money distributed through the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT).

Summerfest stands on own

Over 544 racks of ribs cooked and 1,037 people served

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Amidst the bustle of the Bowman High School All Class Reunion, this year’s Summerfest seemed to stand on its own.

This year’s event set a record for most attendance since the event began years ago. Overall, the event showed more participation, though the largest gain showed during the rib cook-off.

The popular Ribfest cook-off had nine teams enter but, to compensate for the larger crowds, they cooked a total of 34 cases of ribs. That’s 544 racks.

The first-place award went to Ole Goldberg from Buffalo Gap in Medora. This year, after it was suggested last year, a people’s choice contest was held where random community members offered their opinion of who should be honored. First place for the people’s choice also went to Goldberg.

The amount of people that stuck around to feast on the cooked ribs, following the judging, totaled 1,037, more than double last year’s crowd.

More than 37 3-person teams signed up for the 3-on-3-basketball tournament, a yearly staple of the festival. And for children (and adults) wanting to beat the 90-degree temperatures on Saturday, the hit of the event were the two large, patrioticcolored inflatable slides that dominated the intersection of Main and Divide Streets. One was filled with water, an obviously fun time for children on the hot, sunny day.

While the festival’s street dance was held on Main Street in front of Has Beens Bar, the Crystal Bar offered those out on the town another outdoor music venue, along with an outdoor beer garden, between the in-and-out-of-business Uttech’s Bootery and the Pioneer and Finder building.

“The celebration over the weekend was a wonderful reminder of the small town sense of community that stays with people forever,” said Shannon Traquair, owner of the Crystal Bar. “People that made their lives here and those that moved away came together and enjoyed memories and made new ones.

“The time and effort that was put in, to make it the success it was, speaks loudly of the commitment to Bowman and its sense of family,” Traquair added.

Main Street was flagged off from First Street Northwest and First Street Southwest, encapsulating two city blocks, for those over the age of 21 to partake in some adult entertainment and socializing over drinks.

The party didn’t die down in Bowman until the early morning hours.

The annual event is organized by the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce.

“Everything went great,” said Cathy Hedge, executive secretary for the chamber. “With doubling the people in town, it seemed to go smoother this year than last year.” Hedge said that was because there were more volunteers to help this year.

Hair Lounge says ‘so long’ For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net For nearly a decade, Erin Brackel has been operating The Hair Lounge on Main Street in Reeder.

Today, Brackel will close her shop one last time as she moves on in anticipation of the birth of her second child.

“I’ve been here almost eight years,” Brackel said.

Brackel was a student in Scranton after they closed the school in Reeder.

Following her high school education she spent a year in Wahpeton.

She then transferred and earned her beautician degree from The Hair Academy in Bismarck. Brackel and her class at The Hair Academy were one of the first to attend the beauty school.

She worked in Bismarck for two years before getting married and moving back to the area.

Upon opening her business, her biggest worry was acquiring clients, but that worry was short lived as she developed what she considers some of the best clients.

“I’ve been blessed with the best clientele, that’s why it’s hard to walk away,” Brackel said.

Terry Anderson, a client since The Hair Lounge first opened in Reeder,

said she made you feel great, when you walk in and when you leave.

“She makes you feel good when you walk in the door,” Anderson said. “You feel so much better (after), you’ve enjoyed the whole hair cut, or pedicure, whatever you’ve had done, it makes you feel good the rest of the day.”

Brackel said she rarely had to advertise because she acquired so many new customers by simple word-of-mouth.

The feelings so far have been mixed. She is happy to be moving on to the next part of her life, but sad because of the things that she will miss. She also has had a good response, albeit sad, from her clients. They’re happy for her, but sad to have to

look elsewhere for their beauty needs.

“I’ll miss so many things,” Brackel said. “I’m excited for the new chapter but it’s bittersweet.”

If she could pin point just one thing that she won’t miss, it would be the stress of the paperwork each year.

Brackel is hoping to get back into the beauty industry someday, perhaps when her children are older.

But for now she is focusing on what’s next for her and her family, but she couldn’t be more appreciative of the clients she has had over the past eight years.

“I appreciate all my clients over the years, they were wonderful,” Brackel said. “The best clients in the world.”

“The situation is potentially dangerous for everyone when large groups of motorcycles are on the road,” said Lonnie Bertsch, executive director for ABATE. “Nationally, eight out of ten motorcycle crashes result in injury or death,” Bertsch said.

The standard routes for bikers heading to Sturgis through North Dakota tend to be highways and Interstates, but motorcyclists are also known to take scenic byways.

Two-lane highways are

often the preferred routes for riders, according to Bertsch. He offers tips for motorists who encounter groups of riders and want to pass safely.

“The recommendation, when passing groups of ten or fewer riders, is to try and pass them all at once,” said Bertsch. “Be patient and wait for the time when you can safely pass. Use your turn signal and carefully enter the passing lane to go by.”

“For their part, riders in groups should position themselves to enable safe passing maneuvers.

The important things for both riders and drivers are to always signal your intent and be considerate of the other vehicle,” said Bertsch.

Musings from Main Street By Bryce Martin Pioneer Editor

Busy weekend shows city’s pride and spirit It was one of the finer sights.

The streets of Bowman were filled with hundreds of people over the weekend, smiling, laughing, catching up and just having a good time. Last weekend was one of the greatest opportunities for the community to shine.

And it certainly shined brightly.

Leading up to the weekend of events, there was a lot of uncertainty over what the turnout would actually look like.

An all class reunion, an annual summer festival, a goat tying competition— each to be held in the same weekend? Stop the madness! People in the community were scared, literally frightened, of what Bowman would experience when thousands were to line its city streets. Would there be enough food and drinks?

How many people would be needed to help out?

Would businesses be overrun? Would anybody get any sleep?

It ultimately turned out in Bowman’s favor.

Bowman graduates Kelly and Penny Binek had somewhat of a dream to host a Bowman (County) High School All Class Reunion this year. The date was set for the weekend of the city’s annual Summerfest, which boasts its own slew of events throughout the day. Mr. Binek had made the rounds months prior. He visited local businesses, the chamber, city leaders and more to ensure people knew what was going to take place and speculated on the expected crowds it would attract.

When I first met with Mr. Binek months ago, he said it would be a surprise to see 1,000 people in the city. That was honestly a daunting number for our small town.

Add to that Summerfest, which the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce works tirelessly to organize and promote each year, plus a separate car show and citywide garage sales. It was concerning.

But, in true Bowman fashion, it all worked.

Community members stepped up, as they routinely do, and made sure nothing was lost in

the shuffle. Those people are why the events succeeded.

People don’t always realize how much goes into setting up an event.

Any event, big or small, is quite an undertaking.

Take it from me, as part of this year’s Relay for Life committee, it takes a lot of work, manpower and planning for all the unexpected things that pop up along the way.

Even though the path to setting up an event isn’t always rosy, some people get frustrated and want to give up, but they continue on to get the job done. And when they do, it’s all worth it. At least that’s how I look at it.

The people that organized the events and any one that helped out should be sincerely thanked and appreciated.

They did an amazing job showcasing our community. (Cathy Hedge, those huge inflatable water slides on Main Street were such a hit!)

While the reunion’s events began a few days prior to the weekend— Summerfest held only one day, on Saturday— most people didn’t start getting into town until Friday afternoon. The weather was hot (almost too hot), dry and sunny.

In a town where volunteers aren’t always abundant, each event was still pulled off without a hitch.

The bars were packed with people reminiscing or just out enjoying the festivities. Businesses flourished. Local retailers saw a big increase in patronage. Money was made; the local economy stimulated from one huge weekend.

The area’s newest assets, such as the airport, a new lodge, new restaurants and businesses, were each admired and showed out-of-towners that Bowman had grown since they last visited.

But the people truly stole the spotlight.

Bowman certainly must have made an impression along the way for many of its high school graduates.

It was inspiring to see so many people from graduating classes that date way back when. While Bowman was no longer their home, they returned and it was like they had never left.

It was a weekend to let your hair down, relax and enjoy friends and festivities.

It was such a success that I suggested to Mr. Binek that he not wait too long to organize another reunion. We shared a laugh but both realized that it had meant a lot to the community. It wasn’t just about seeing old friends; it was about a rejuvenation of Bowman’s community pride and spirit. Hopefully that added momentum doesn’t fade away too quickly.

Needless to say if you weren’t in town, you missed Bowman at its finest.

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Haying Hello, You haven’t seen me around lately. No, this isn’t a repeat of last week’s column. Although I have been known to do that. The reason for my disappearance this week is hay.

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

I have to tell you a little about haying. Fresh cut

HAT TIPS is generously sponsored by the following businesses:

hay smells nice. It’s the dang cutting that is a nuisance. We are cutting some old hay ground. It is rough. It is real rough.

It is full of badger holes, mole hills, vole hills, prairie dog mounds, sagebrush, and other bad stuff. I wish we hadn’t started. Sometimes I don’t know how Shirley takes it. You start out early in the morning.

And you think to yourself that today is going to be a good day. Like the song.

A good, good day. You start off at 4 mph.

After one round you back down to three and a half. You are getting thrown around the cab like a bb in a boxcar. The second round you hit a fresh mole hill and get a little dirt on the sickle.

Dang it. I hate that. The sickle on the mowerconditioner plugs. I really hate that. So does Shirley. The next hour is spent pulling one small handful at a time out of the conditioner. Your

This and That By Josephine Kaczmarek

I have had quite a bit of company in the past two weeks. My nephews, Irvin, Marvin, Eddie Hecker and wife Betsy from Eugene, Oregon, my grandson Stacy Lutes, his wife Tammy and daughter Daryn from Kennewick, Washington, stopped in to see me. My nephews are my sister’s sons. They came for the funeral of my brother

Clem.

Brock White stopped in to see Grandma Joann.

Betty Peterson was happy to have her son Rodney from California.

He spent some time with her. Then Emily and Angie Wanek from Reeder stopped in to see Grandma Hazel and Grandpa Morris Wanek.

Also, Neil and Rosalie Krinke dropped in one day last week to see Doris Fischer.

Angie and Frank Eberle brought me a bouquet of flowers. Sylvia Theurer also brought a bouquet of pretty roses. I was surprised and happy that Susan Aus from Billings

hand starts to fall off. You begin to realize that the engineer that designed this machine evidently never had to unplug one.

You begin to curse him and his relatives.

You take off again. Glad to crawl in the cool cab and get a little reprieve from the sun beating down on you. You slow down to 2.8 mph. It’s a hell of along ways around the field and your water jug is empty. You look at your watch. It is nearly 10 a.m. If it goes good, you can go another eleven hours. You slow down to 2.2 because you are getting a side ache.

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

Makes very little sense, but makes you feel good for a little bit. An especially big molehill slips up on you and you bang

stopped in Sunday afternoon. Also Ada dropped by.

My daughter Rita, her daughter Shyla and Tashal came for the funeral. The girls went back to Milbank and Wassington Springs, South Dakota, but Rita stayed here to be with me. She is staying at Pam and John’s Sunset Lodge, three miles west of Scranton. Her husband Loran Schmeical came a few days later. We spent quite a bit of time together. She comes mornings or afternoons and helps me with things that are hard for me to do.

Monday the men were

your head on the side of the cab. The blood attracts more flies. You look at your watch. It is ten fifteen. Tears begin to form in the corner of your eyes.

At ten thirty you start to eye your lunch bucket.

Down to 1.8 mph. The ache in your side is starting to build again. Maybe that beer in your lunch bucket will ease the pain.

You reach down and open it. It is shaken up from the molehills and sprays all over the cab.

You hit a molehill, drop the beer and it foams all over the floor. Flies like beer better than blood so they leave you alone.

It’s nearly eleven. Beer is gone. Sandwiches are eaten. And you think that maybe you better quit.

That hot wind blowing could start a fire if you hit a rock or lose a bearing.

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

Later, Dean

working in the hallway and didn’t want any traffic so some of us went someplace with family and others stayed in the activity room. Loran and Rita picked me up about 7:30 am and I spent the day at the Lodge. Marlene came by for the day also and we played a lot of cards. Loran, Rita and I played Left, Right, Center. We played three sets and I won all three, rather unusual for me to win. When we left the Lodge to take me back, it was lightning and thundering in every direction.

The worst part must have gone somewhere else, we didn’t get much here.

John informed the city about the sewer flushing & camera work that is being done in Bowman & Rhame. It is the decision of the council that Scranton should have the same work done to be sure that the sewer lines are in good shape before any street work is done.

The city council is also considering running a slip liner on the inside of the sewer lines. This prevents digging & replacing the pipe itself. After the camera work we can see any bad areas.

Mayo Const. will be meeting with Brosz Engineering regarding the TIF project problem areas in May. Mary Peterson’s sewer is hooked up & ready to go.

Ty Tuff sees entries from Bowman County It was a toasty, hot weekend filled with loads of talented cowgirls, and tough competition for the third annual TY TUFF Challenge held in Bowman on July 25 and 26.

A new spin to The Challenge this year was the addition of a breakaway jackpot roping with open and Jr High/High School divisions offered. A high point award valued at $1000 was given to the contestant that gathered up the most points between the goat tying and breakaway

competition over the two days.

Action kicked off on Saturday at 1pm with open breakaway roping.

After 2 heads and a short round for the open ropers, Cassy Woodward of Dupree, S.D., claimed the title and took home $1635 by roping 3 calves in 9.80.

The average paid 6 places.

Second went to Brandi Hollenbeck- 9.96; third, Joey Williams-10.55; fourth, Jordan Tierney-11.15; fifth, Ceri McCaffery-11.63; and sixth,

“With more people and

businesses relocating into the region, the need for quality water has never been greater.�

The youth winners in the ground tying match were Haiden Thompson (first), Kaycee Groves (second), Kenzie Homelvig of Bowman (third), and Roman Fossum of Bowman (fourth), pictured with Kayla Nelson and Deb Gunderson.

Jayden Hollenbeck-12.48 The Junior High/High School division had 19 ropers. These girls were paid out on a 2 hd average time. Rickie Engesser from Spearfish, SD roped 2 calves in 6.88 to claim that title. Second, Kaelie Oliver-8.14; third, Rebekah Norstad-8.17; fourth, Lacey Forness-8.83; and fifth, Cashae Mc Gee-9.43 The goat tying on Sunday took just short of 4 hours to run 65 girls throughout two gorounds. The 4D event is unique in the fact that it gives all levels of goat ty-

ing talent a chance to win good hard cash and excellent prizes.

Announcer Rick Thompson of Dickinson, goat contractor John Hight, Dupree, S.D, judges Chuck Christman, Lemmon, S.D., Lyle Gjermundson, Marshall, and the entire Ty Tuff team kept the action moving rapidly throughout both days.

During the break between go rounds, nine youngsters from ages 7-11 matched each other in a heated 3 round ground tying competition.

The winner was Haiden

Thompson from Lusk, Wyo. Second place went to Kaycee Groves of Faith, S.D. Kenzie Homelvig from Bowman was third and Roman Fossum from Bowman was fourth. They all received Ty Tuff merchandise for their efforts.

No one broke the six second barrier this year, but Lacy Tech from Fairfax, S.D., came very close by posting the fastest time of the day with a 7.01.

The Grann sisters from Sheyenne took home a good portion of the pot by claiming the top 2 spots in the 1D division.

Average winners of each 4D received a beaded headstall. Second received a beaded bronc halter.

Third place winners received a saddle pad and fourth received shoofly leggings.

Each division in both rounds paid four places and received equal payout.

Two $500 scholarships were awarded this year.

These were giving to a graduating high school senior and a college graduate seeking a master or doctorate degree. Winners this year were Shelby Schramm of Lancaster, Wis., and Kate Sharon of Dillon, Mont.

After the dust settled at the end of the day, Rickie Engesser from Spearfish, S.D., emerged as the high point champion receiving a beautiful saddle stand, a beaded breast collar and $300 cash.

Many thanks to our major sponsor- KINGS SADDLERY. Hats off to our other sponsors, timers, announcers, gate keepers, flaggers, secretary, calf pushers, goat runners and cowgirls who all helped make the third TY TUFF Challenge another great success.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

OPINION

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

Training Camp has started and the season is almost here! Today, I will be focusing on the safety position in my second to last roster breakdown. Last season, Harrison Smith locked down one safety spot and Robert Blanton was the other safety, until he got hurt and ended up being replaced by Andrew Sendejo. Let’s take a look

By Jordan Wright

to see if Blanton has what it takes to reclaim his spot, if Sendejo took the job and ran away with it, or if there are any other players to watch out for who could come out of nowhere to claim a starting spot.

Starters: Harrison Smith is one of the starters and there is no doubting his abilities. Smith started all 16 games last season, recording 91 tackles, three sacks, five interceptions, nine pass breakups, one fumble forced and one defensive touchdown.

According to Pro Foot-

ball Focus, Smith was the second best safety in the league last season.

Smith provides excellent run support and better than average coverage on the back end. It is a shame Smith didn’t get recognized for his play by getting selected to the Pro Bowl, but if he keeps playing like he has been since he entered the league, eventually everyone will be forced to recognize his greatness.

Starting opposite Harrison Smith was Robert Blanton. Blanton started 13 games last season and recorded 106 tackles, one interception, two pass breakups and one fumble recovery. Blanton was number 17 in PFF’s safety rankings for his play last season. Unfortunately for Blanton, he got injured in week 14, which opened the door for Andrew

Sendejo who came in and played admirably.

Blanton is opening training camp as the starter, but the coaching staff will be looking at all possibilities in order to field the best team possible for the week one match up against the 49ers on September 14.

Backups: The Vikings are only carrying five safeties into training camp. Smith and Blanton are listed as the starters, while Andrew Sendejo, Antone Exum Jr and Anthony (Ant) Harris are competing for a role on the team.

While it’s almost not fair to list Sendejo as a backup, for this article we will have to do just that.

As I mentioned above, Sendejo filled in last season when Blanton was injured week 14. Sendejo played well enough to fin-

ish the rest of the season as a starter. PFF rankings are primarily reserved for players who play at least 25 percent of the team’s snaps, but if you were to take a step back and look at all the safeties who played even a single snap last year, Sendejo would’ve ranked 34 out of 181 safeties.

Antone Exum Jr was drafted last year in the sixth round. Exum played college football at Virginia Tech, where he played both safety and cornerback, earning second team All-ACC. Unfortunately for Exum, he tore his ACL in 2013 which sidelined him for most of the season.

Antone only played 16 snaps at safety last season, but he finished with a positive grade and PFF ranked him 77 when the search is expanded to all

safeties. Exum figures to be one of the players competing to start opposite Harrison Smith this season.

The other safety on the roster is Anthony (Ant) Harris. Ant was undrafted this season, and signed with the Vikings because he knew he had a chance to come in and compete. In 2013, Harris was named to the first team All-ACC, and he was also named an All-American by Sports Illustrated that year, thanks in part to leading the nation with eight interceptions. While I don’t think Ant will be able to come in and start right away, look for the Vikings to try and sign him to their practice squad where he can improve this season and come into next season looking to compete.

for hunters age 16 and older, and Harvest Information Program certification, is required beginning Sept. 1.

Hunters who purchase a license through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov, or instant licensing telephone number 800-406-6409, can easily get HIP certified.

Otherwise, hunters can call 888-634-4798 and record the HIP number on their fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate.

Those who registered to hunt the spring light goose season in North

Dakota do not have to register with HIP again, as it is required only once per year.

Waterfowl rest areas, closed to hunting during the regular season, are open during the early season. Most land in these rest areas is private, so hunters may need permission to hunt.

The early hunting season is intended to reduce local Canada goose numbers. Despite liberalized regulations the past several years, with longer seasons, large bag limits and expanded shooting hours, the statewide

population remains high, with numbers well above population goals.

For additional infor-

mation and regulations, hunters should refer to the Game and Fish Department website.

GAME AND FISH NEWS ■■ Game Warden Pilot Exam Set for Aug. 21

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has scheduled an examination to select candidates for the position of game warden pilot. The test is scheduled for Aug. 21 at 10 a.m., at the department’s main office in Bismarck.

Applicants must register to take the exam no later than Aug. 19, by submitting an online application through the North Dakota State Job Openings website.

Game warden pilot applicants must have a commercial pilot’s license for a single engine land with an instrument rating, and hold an FAA Class II medical certificate. Candidates also must have a minimum of 200 hours total flying time and have a clean record without any felony convictions.

Applicants must be at least 21 years of age, have a valid driver’s license and a current North Dakota peace officer license, or be eligible to be licensed.

Job duties include day and night flights, involving enforcement and administrative flight activities. Responsibilities also include enforcing game and fish laws and other related regulations.

Salary through training is $3,800 per month.

Upon successful completion of training, the salary is $4,136 - $6,894 per month. Wardens also receive the state benefits package, including travel allowance. Uniforms and other equipment are provided.

■■ Early Canada Goose Season Announced

North Dakota’s early Canada goose season is set, and bag limits and licensing requirements are the same as last year.

The season will open Aug. 15 and continue through Sept. 15, except in the Missouri River Zone where the season ends Sept. 7. The early Canada goose season has a limit of 15 daily and 45 in possession.

Limits and shooting hours for the early season are different from the regular season. Shooting hours during the early season are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset daily.

Residents need a $5 early Canada goose license and a general game and habitat license. Also, residents age 16 and older need a small game license. Nonresidents need only a $50 early Canada goose license, and the license is valid statewide without counting against the 14-day regular season license.

‘Through the looking glass’ DESIGN SPACES

By Linda Brooks

For the Pioneer lbrooks@ndsupernet.com A mirror is a reflective surface that mimics or imitates accurately what is in front of it. The earliest mirrors were bodies of water having this reflective quality. Ancient Egyptians made them out of polished metal and metal mirrors were seen in the Gothic period. The first silvered glass mirrors were made in Venice in the early 1300’s.

Mirrors were originally made of polished metal but are now made of glass with a silvery, metallic or amalgam (an alloy of mercury/other metals) backing. A mirror can be dressed up or down depending on its use and setting. They come in every shape and size and can be framed in so many different ways.

Wood, metal, stones, leaves, twigs, greens, and colored glass are a few of the choices out there. A mirror can be a doorway into another space as it reflects back what is in front of it.

I have used mirrors in a variety of ways to enhance, lighten up, or enlarge my interiors. One very common use of a mirror is above a fireplace – we have one that is as wide as the fireplace and I use it in many different ways. Right now I have suspended a large picture of a red rose framed in white in front

of it and to the left of that is a large stain glass bowl (purples and oranges) on a stand. The light from the windows across the room reflects the colors in the glass and the picture in front of the mirror gives it a layered look. Sometimes I will stand an old china cabinet door (to which I’ve added a mirror) in front of the mirror and use tall green grasses beside it.

Adding mirrors to old French windows allows them to reflect light across the room. Years ago I hung two full length mirrors above a patio door and added a green berry garland – it made the room look taller and looked like a wall of windows.

Full length mirrors can also be used down the length of a dining room table – add candles and watch the room shimmer and shine. Place a mirrored folding screen in a corner and add plants – voila – a garden look. To continue that garden thought – you can add a mirror in your garden in a sheltered spot – it will look like a window reflecting the lush garden all around it.

Designers often use mirrors and share these ideas: Eric Cohler says,

“Mirror the reveals of any window: it will feel like a bay window.” Barbara Barry says, “I use mirrors everywhere because they bring light into a space. I like to cut them in simple panels, like a trumeau (a wall between windows) without the decorative elements. It’s a way of giving an old craft a modern twist.” Jonathan Berger says, “I love putting mirrors in builtin cabinetry.

The

Robert Brown says, “A mirror makes a fabulous backdrop for art. I love to prop a painting in front or hang it right on top.”

And Susan Ferrier says, “Mirrors are one of my favorite objects for giving a room character. A large scale mirror creates a generous window. Lean it against the wall. Have the audacity to cover some of the surface with a suspended piece of art or an archi-

tectural fragment: it will compel you to stop and take notice.”

New uses for mirrors will continue to be found and implemented by designers - mirrors in any interior space subtly enlarge the space – bringing light and a feeling of openness into the space.

Have fun trying some new ideas with mirrors in your spaces.

Linda Brooks, owner of Design Consulting, has an interior design degree from NDSU. She lives in Bowman.
