Anderson ‘NO SCHOOL SPIRIT’? to retire Multiple issues, tensions arise during school board meeting from bench

IN THE HOT SEAT — Tyler Senn, athletic director and high school principal at Bowman County Public Schools, rests his head in his palm during Monday night’s Bowman County School Board regular meeting. Many parents criticized Senn’s handling of certain aspects of the school’s athletics program at the meeting.

Southwest North Dakota’s judge pool will be one less come November.

It was officially announced last week that Judge Zane Anderson, a resident of Bowman, would retire from the bench effective Nov. 1, according to the Southwest Judicial District.

Anderson, 64, is one of three judges presiding over the district, which covers Adams, Billings, Bowman, Dunn, Golden Valley, Hettinger, Slope and Stark counties. Judges William Herauf and Dann Greenwood fill the other two judgeships.

According to the N.D. Supreme Court’s website, Anderson presided over at least 73 major cases,

Anderson including several involving large oil companies and state organizations.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple notified the N.D. Supreme Court of Anderson’s retirement Aug. 4.

Under the state’s Century Code, a vacancy will be created upon Anderson’s departure. Within 90 days after the notification of the vacancy, state

AMIDON

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Almost 40 people attended Monday’s meeting of the Bowman County School Board and many of them wanted answers.

During a 90-minute public input phase at the board’s regular meeting in Bowman, several frustrated parents voiced their concern over the state of the school’s athletics program, ran under the direction of High School Principal and Athletic Director Tyler Senn.

Matters regarding matching uniforms for golf teams, fundraising and who’s coaching this season’s teams were brought up for discussion. Through sometimes emotional appeals, it was asked that the school board revisit and reconsider some major issues affecting students.

The school board had few answers for the parents. At some points during the discussion, the board was divided.

Amy Fisher, a parent, asked the board why the golf teams had been denied the ability to fundraise and accept donations from the community. She questioned why the golf teams also weren’t on the school’s rotation to receive new uniforms.

The school’s process in the past was to have the team purchase its uniforms and the school would pay for the cost of having them embroidered. According to Senn, that was agreed to in a conversation with former golf coach and teacher Don Groll, who was instrumental in establishing the school’s golf teams several years ago.

Senn admitted that hadn’t been communicated very well to the students or parents.

Tracy Peterson, a member of the audience, explained that at the girl’s

The small boardroom of the Bowman County School Board was filled by concerned parents and community members during its regular meeting Monday. state golf tournament in the spring, every other team was “decked out.”

Discussion was then brought up about purchasing golf bags for the team, which Senn said were considered part of a “wish list,” items that teams want but do not need.

Though parents in the audience suggested the bags could be paid for by community or parent donations, the school has not allowed such fundraising.

Bowman County Schools Superintendent Tony Duletski explained that prohibiting such fundraising was to avoid seeing the athletes with logos plastered all over them, which he said gives a poor image.

“When it comes to contributions, we have to be really cautious on what we do,” he added.

It was an issue of fairness to local businesses.

Fundraising for teams, however, was deemed necessary for more than just items on wish lists.

Last year during boys’ basketball, there was one student that could not

afford a warm-up jersey; he was the only one that went without.

“Shame on the coaches for letting their team look like that when they go out to the court,” said Tobiann Andrews, a parent and teacher at Bowman County Schools.

She asked why a policy couldn’t be enacted where teams could fundraise a certain amount so that if an athlete doesn’t have a shirt, it could be purchased.

“If it’s brought to me, I’ll get it taken care of,” Senn responded. He added that he might even pay for it out of his own pocket.

Tana Smolnikar, co-owner of Dale’s Clothing and Custom Embroidery in Bowman, told the board that it happens quite often when a coach goes into her store and purchases items for students that otherwise couldn’t afford it.

The issue of local businesses contributing items for school sports teams was then brought up.

WHAT’S THAT?: Parachute planes soar through sky

By Rachel Bock For the Pioneer

This year Amidon was added as the last stop for a group of flying powered parachute enthusiasts.

Karl Johnson from Grand Rapids, Minn., has been flying small aircraft called powered parachutes, or PPC, for over 17 years. He is part of a group that includes 23 other PPC enthusiasts that travel around the upper Midwest for a weeklong tour called the Gypsy Tour.

The group travels from the Minnesota and Wisconsin border, down to the North and South Dakota border, usually around the second week

NEWS BRIEFS

Weather modification week 10 update Southwestern North Dakota experienced normal high temperatures in the mid 80s last week along with thunderstorms midweek and over the weekend.

In the District 1 operations area, which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted operations on August 4,5,8, and 9. In all, 11 flights were flown by the two project aircraft.

The forecast calls for a hot, dry week ahead as an upper level ridge anchors itself in the Central US. There is a slight chance for thunderstorms beginning Friday as the upper level ridge flattens out. High temperatures should soar into the low to mid 90s.

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.

law, who is also involved with the group, decided that Amidon would make a great stop to end the tour.

The groups setup their camping gear and readied their aircraft on land owned by Don Nordby, located next to the Amidon Fire Hall.

The event added plenty of excitement Friday and Saturday for spectators in the area enjoying a burger at the fire hall.

“We just like to try different places, and do different things and that’s how we ended up here,” Johnson said.

A powered parachute is an ultra light aircraft that has a two-stroke motor, similar to those used in snowmobiles. They also have wheels, a parachute, and can hold five to 10 gallons of fuel. The powered parachutes can travel 30 mph and can be flown in the air for roughly three hours at heights ranging from less

“That is why I didn’t want to be a flight instructor, because it’s my recreation. Yes, I could go give rides for money; I could do a lot of things but its recreation that’s how I want to keep it,” Johnson said.

One of Johnson’s most memorable experiences while on the Gypsy Tour occurred near a ranch in Grassy Butte.

While he was flying, he rounded up roughly 300 head of cattle into a circle—accidentally.

Johnson apologized to the rancher, thinking he had done something wrong. The rancher, instead of being angry, welcomed him to come in autumn to help round up cattle for him again.

“The rancher said, ‘Do you realize what you just did in about an hour is what it takes us days to do,’” Johnson said.

The group ended its tour Aug. 16.

While spending two days in the area, the group had plans to fly over the Badlands and the Little Missouri River.

Ideal wind speeds are needed to be at 15 mph or less for the aircraft to be able to take off and fly. Usually the mornings and the evenings are ideal flying times, since the wind is usually at its lowest speed.

A new, single-place PPC—a oneperson powered parachute—costs around $10,000 and falls under the Federal Aviation Regulations, which does not require the operator to have a license.

SCHOOL BOARD IN THE HOT SEAT

A look at this year’s coaches

Bowman County School Board President Kevin Bucholz hangs his head as Tana Smolnikar, co-owner of Dale’s Clothing and Custom Embroidery, speaks to the board sitting behind him. (Photo by Bryce Martin / Pioneer)

MEETING FROM PAGE 1

Dakota Community Bank of Bowman has provided hats for the school’s football teams for the last couple years. According to Dave Smolnikar, who also co-owns Dale’s Clothing, students might not be able to wear the hats this year.

“Kids loved it,” Smolnikar told the board. “There was a prideful thing with those hats—to get these kids to have pride in their school, to have something to be proud of.”

Community be a Dakota Bank never requested rectheir logo appear on the s for s buthats, he added. nt to But it appeared the school wouldn’t allow the emo-hats this year.

Gyp- Smolnikar said he was h intold by Greg Yale, head football coach, that he ndedwas not able to accept the nto adonation of the hats because of school policy. The nch-policy reportedly dictated, hingas Smolnikar explained, be-that any money was to be me indonated directly to the e forschool’s booster club that would then decide how the alizefunds were distributed. ur is “If that is the policy … ohn-there’s a lot of things that have been donated to the . 16.school that have to stop,” area,Smolnikar said. “Who gets r thehurt in that scenario? It’s ourithe kids.”

Smolnikar said his intent was only to ensure that students took pride in their school and perhaps others would step up and donate. Instead, he said the fundraising policy was forcing apart some in the emecommunity. ation “There’s no school spirit. saryNone,” said Tana Smolniinis-kar. Several in the audience agreed with her come Su-ment. the Senn explained that cantthere currently is no forthermal school policy that disabol-allows fundraising, it was instead something Senn romhad verbally explained to romcoaches, to say “thanks, kotabut no thanks” or direct rveddonators to him so he ate’sknows what’s going on.

983, Kevin Bucholz, school ce inboard president, said the 1987board needed to step back orthand put something in . Hepolicy that addressed the udgematter. Though, he made trictno specific comments as to andwhat that would entail.

Senn finally acknowledged that the golf teams derwould be placed in the roe in tation, to get new uniforms hree every four years like other teams.

Justin Abrahamson, owner of JaBBR’s Family Restaurant in Bowman, asked Senn if that would begin this season. Senn said he was unsure.

Smolnikar said it would cost about $600 for the school to purchase shirts and Dale’s Clothing to embroider them for the next season’s golf team.

School board member Dan Peterson jumped at the information.

“I want to get the golf team in the cycle this year,” he exclaimed. “We spent $5,300 on a video camera, we spent $6,500

to cut some trees down.

Can we fit it in this year, guys?”

Heads bobbled but Peterson confirmed the school “could cough up” the money to start the uniform rotation this year.

The golf bags would be addresses separately.

But the audience filling the standing-room only boardroom wasn’t finished.

Andrews took the floor to express her disapproval of this year’s coaching contracts, which was an issue that received much criticism.

Her chief concern was the passing over of experienced community members that applied for coaching positions. It was decided by the school instead to fill those spots with in-house staff members.

An advertisement was recently placed in the local newspaper asking community members to apply for coaching positions available at every level. Several applied though none were interviewed or hired.

“Our football coaches are now our basketball coaches and our track coaches. Our junior high coaches are now our wrestling coaches and our golf coaches,” Andrews said.

That creates stale sports programs, she continued.

Chris Johnson, who was in attendance, had applied to become a junior high football coach. He recently coached the Rouzie Recreation Center’s football program and Andrews lauded him on doing an incredible job.

He didn’t even receive a phone call, Andrews said.

Instead, three teachers were assigned as coaches.

“Mr. Yale told us Thursday night that those three combined had zero years (of) experience,” Andrews explained.

Johnson, co-owner of Subway in Bowman, told the board he felt shunned.

Jennifer Holecek coached the school’s Science Olympiad team for nine years and has amassed several state titles under her tenure. Holecek resigned from teaching this year to help on her family’s ranch, but had indicated to Senn that she would still like to coach, according to Andrews.

“She had the skills, the knowledge of the system and he said, ‘No, thank you,’ and gave it to somebody else,” Andrews confirmed. “To me, that doesn’t make sense.”

Duletski explained that it was better to hire current teachers because of scheduling and that they already understood the school’s dynamics. “It makes things a whole lot easier not only for the coaches but also for the student athletes,” he said.

“If it’s a headache for you, then you’ve lost focus of what these programs are about,” Andrews replied.

Board member Stacy McGee commented that Andrews was right in wanting the most experienced coaching staff.

“We need to hire the

best of the best, not necessarily in house,” McGee said.

At a school board meeting held earlier this summer in Rhame, it was discussed that the school’s extracurricular activities committee—composed of McGee, board member Tara Lambourn, Duletski and Senn—would talk about which coaches to hire and would bring their suggestions back to the school board for discussion.

But that didn’t happen.

That committee would ultimately be responsible for all extracurricular activity hiring, not just for sports.

McGee questioned the role of the committee, why it was started but nothing followed through.

Lambourn admitted she had heard secondhand that one of the wrestling coaches was not going to return for the coming sea-

“

If it’s a headache for you, then you’ve lost focus of what these programs are about.”

- Tobiann Andrews to Superintendent Tony Duletski son because his contract was not renewed. At the most recent extracurricular activities committee meeting, that coach was listed as returning, but Duletski and Senn made a different decision. Prior to the creation of the extracurricular activities committee, the two were solely responsible for hiring coaches.

“We were supposed to be involved every step of the way … and we found out who was hired. That was very disrespectful to us as a committee,” said McGee. She said the school board needed to establish an official procedure for the committee, calling it “ridiculous” and “embarrassing” that the committee was basically “an unorganized group of adults.”

Bucholz agreed that a policy should be adopted and said that the board would discuss it at an upcoming board meeting.

The wrestling coach not returning was Todd Frie, a current physical education teacher who started working at the school last year.

Reading from a threepage prepared statement, Jason Ruggles, general manager of West Plains Implement in Bowman, offered his opinion about Frie.

“Todd (Frie) leads by example,” said Ruggles.

“I will not stand by and watch a good coach, a respected coach, a friend, a mentor to my kids lose his contract without asking some fairly hard questions.”

The crowd echoed Ruggles’ disappointment over the decision.

Sarah Wolbaum of Bowman became emotional speaking about Frie’s connection with two of her children.

“I have two boys that absolutely adore Mr. Frie,” Wolbaum told the board. “…He has come out of his shell and (Frie has) given him the courage to believe in himself.”

Wolbaum said her other son, soon to be in kindergarten, was excited to know that Frie would be there for him, too.

Even though Ruggles straightforwardly asked, the board did not respond with a reason for not renewing Frie’s coaching agreement. It was only said that a new teacher would replace him.

It was that discussion which led to one of the most contentious parts of the meeting.

Peterson offered firm disapproval of having the school’s newly hired science teacher, Jeremiah Hayes, act as coach during each of the three sports seasons. Hayes will coach football, track and take over Frie’s wrestling position.

“We added a new football position we didn’t need and we got rid of a coach that was doing well in wrestling to make room for a teacher that I didn’t want to be coaching,” Peterson stated frankly.

Speaking with concern for academics, Peterson grew furious as he explained that it was not fair for students to be taught by a teacher that would be out of the classroom often to coach.

“I don’t care if he wants to coach, he’s here to teach,” Peterson exclaimed.

While the coaching lineup for fall sports was pretty much secured, Peterson said there could still be some changes made to the coaches of sports later in the season, including wrestling and track.

While the coaching agreements have already been sent out, it was said they could be rescinded.

Peterson said that was unlikely, however.

Bucholz told the audience to expect the extracurricular activities committee, in the next month or two, to work through some of the matters brought up during the meeting and bring them back to the board.

“I can’t tell you when that’s going to be,” he said.

He made a point to explain that the school was dealing with many changes to coaching assignments with some coaches having decided not to coach or had moved away.

While the meeting seemed to work out for the golf teams, several other frustrated parents left the meeting with few answers.

This year’s coaching roster came under intense scrutiny by the public during Monday’s regular meeting of the Bowman County School Board.

It was reiterated by the board that the 2015-2016 school season saw a large changeover in coaches, due to some moving away from the away or just deciding not to coach.

Here is the complete list of this school year’s coaching staff.

Football: Greg Yale, head coach. Brian Qualley and Erik Egan, assistants. Jaden Schoch, Cody Jamtgaard, Jeremiah Hayes, junior high coaches. Cross Country: Jon Jahner, head coach. Dakota Wolf, Lora Miller, assistants.

Volleyball: Chelsey Schwindt, head coach. Abby Braaten, assistant. Kaylie Strandberg, junior high coach.

Girls’ Basketball: Jayden Schoch, head coach. Abby Braaten, assistant. Cora Nasset, junior high coach. Boys’ Basketball: Erik Egan, head coach. Greg Yale, assistant.

Pam Fisher, junior high coach. Wrestling: Jeff Boynton, head coach. Mark Wanner, Jeremiah Hayes, Cody Jamtgaard, assistants. Track and Field: Jon Jahner, head coach. Dakota Wolf, Brian Qualley, Erik Egan, Jeremiah Hayes, assistants. Golf: Cody Jamtgaard, head coach.

Wade Blankenbaker, assistant.

Q&A

Duletski weighs in on board meeting Pioneer Editor Bryce Martin sat down with Bowman County Schools Superintendent Tony Duletski on Wednesday to follow up on some questions raised during the public input phase of Monday’s school board meeting.

Pioneer: It was said there’s no school spirit?

What’s your response to that?

Duletski: Do we have school spirit? Yes. Would it be nice to see more school spirit? Yes. Would it be nice to see more involvement for students? Absolutely. You could always do better. Do I think things exist there that could be improved upon? Absolutely. Is it totally nonexistent? No, I can’t agree with that.

P: Why was Mr. Todd Frie’s contract not renewed?

D: We felt we have some good people coming in. We wanted to give them an opportunity and a chance at it to see what they could provide to our programs.

P: If Mr. Frie was performing well as a coach then why would it be necessary to have somebody else replace him?

D: I’m not going to dispute that. We brought in some young candidates, they’re young; they have not had any coaching experience. That’s true. We’ve got a program, specifically the wrestling where he’s in, we feel it’s up and coming. It’s been a painstaking effort to get the program going with the coaches. We’ve got that in place and we want to continue it. Not saying (Frie) is a bad coach. Probably we have some that we feel are a little more qualified and we wanted to give everyone an opportunity, not to say that (Frie) wouldn’t be given an opportunity in other areas…

P: So the new coaches wouldn’t have the experience, but you feel they’re more qualified?

D: I don’t know how to answer that any better than that. They come in inexperienced. Yes, (Frie) has a year on some of those, but the qualifications match right up to what (Frie) brought in and we just thought, hey, let’s give them a shot.

P: What would you tell a parent if they came in and asked why Mr. Frie’s coaching agreement was not renewed?

D: I guess my response to anybody … is we need to move forward on this and have the faith and support of the people that we put in there and give them a chance. … We had the confidence in them and we feel strong in our decisions. Hopefully it pays dividend. And if it doesn’t, if we made a mistake, we’ll certainly go back and revisit.

P: Was it the decision of you and Mr. Senn that Mr. Frie’s work agreement was not renewed?

D: We sit down and we go through a list. A survey is done in the spring of the year. We look at personnel that have shown interest. Mr. Senn makes the list, he brings it to me and we have dialogue and we make the decision. He pretty much carries it out.

P: But that process was supposed to be changed with the extracurricular activities committee?

D: We did meet and probably more dialogue should have taken place, I’m not going to deny that.

P: Do you think the school did anything wrong?

D: Probably lack of communication. But one of the things that have to be realized is (that) we are hired to make these decisions and I would hope that not only the board but the community would have that trust in us. There’s certain things that we’re hired to do and I feel this is one of the things. In the past, we haven’t had any problems. The board needs to be informed so they can back us and support us and maybe that wasn’t done as well as it should have been and that’s where this whole thing evolved into what it did.

P: Do you think this was blown out of proportion?

D: Anytime you involve emotions things sometimes get out (of proportion). We’re going to view it in a positive light. Do I wish it would have happened? No. It bothers me that we have our new people coming in and I don’t want to give them (a) false impression. When I sold them on this community and this school, I said I have the best school, we’ve got the best community in the state and we’ve got the best people.

Run finds success at end of its rainbow

By Bryce Martin

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net This year’s Rainbow Run was more colorful than last year.

Over 175 participants participated in the annual run, held Aug. 7 at James Field in Bowman. Its goal is to support the

youth of St. Charles Catholic Church.

Barbi Narum, event organizer and director of the St. Charles Catholic Youth, said it was a success, making close to $3,000 in funds.

“We plan on using the money to get a (guest) speaker for the youth and inviting other youth from area churches,” Narum

said.

The color run is a 5-kilometer walk or run that leads up to each participant throwing multicolored powder into the air in celebration.

“Everyone who participated had a great time,” Narum said.

The weather cooperated with the event this year with a sunny sky and not too-hot tem-

perature.

Narum said the idea to host the Rainbow Run in Bowman came up last year when raising funds for a church pilgrimage to Rome. The trip, which was completed earlier this year, was made possible by the funds raised from last year’s event. Because the color run was viewed as such a great

Musings from Main Street By Bryce Martin Pioneer Editor

What can be done to fix school pride, or is there no problem?

Sports are an important component to a student’s school experience.

The students don’t have to become the next starting quarterback in the NFL, rather, the experience gained by being a member of a team builds character and social skills for their future lives.

I didn’t play sports in school.

Many of my friends did so I would attend occasional games and always made it to the pep rallies that were so frequent at our large school. I was the kid staying after school trying to layout pages of the yearbook.

I was focused on my academic pursuits. But I still knew what school pride meant.

For some in Bowman, school pride is waning. Many consider school pride to be connected to the athletics program—root for the team, come out, support the local schools, cheer on the players from the sidelines. All that goes a long way to facilitate pride. (Team victories are also important, though some of Bowman’s sports teams haven’t seen many in the last several years.)

But if the teams are not being properly coached, the students not being properly motivated, the team’s lack proper equipment or attire, or the parents continue squabbling over what they think is best for the teams, it is hard for pride to shine through. It is equally challenging if support from parents and the community is blocked or if faith in the teams’ coaches languishes.

Therein lies the rub, as The Bard would say.

A large group of parents sought answers on some of these points during the school board meeting in Bowman this week.

I was disappointed in the eye-rolling and head hanging by some of the members on the school board as parents made emotional appeals about their son or daughter and what athletics means to them. Whether it was concern over students losing their favorite coach or being the only team in mismatched uniforms during a huge state championship, the parents laid it on the line for the board. Ultimately, the parents’ goal was to help restore school pride.

Though not everyone saw it that way. And when all was said and done, some parents felt unclear on how or when their concerns would properly be addressed.

Still, it was encouraging to see the support each parent lent another. For them to stand up for what they believed in was an inspiration. Those people—some of them friends of mine—sat around in a hot, humid conference room, elbow to elbow, for about an hour and 20 minutes because they

O pinion

believed in something; they wanted to fix something that they felt wasn’t right. Instead of running to social media to complain or just sitting around griping about what bugged them, they took action to bring about change.

An overused yet still applicable quote from Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Those parents had nothing to gain personally. They were trying to make the students’ lives better.

As important as sports are, more so are academics. It was a good point from one frustrated board member when he basically scorned others on the board saying that new teachers shouldn’t be out coaching when they haven’t even made the seat warm in their new classroom. That detracts from academics and shows a misfire of priorities. But it’s all connected.

While some in the community albeit aren’t very interested in seeing our Bulldogs win their season, I’m sure most can agree that school pride is important, just as important as community pride. Though, Bowman has more of the latter.

But it shows pride when people take a stand. It shows they care enough to want to change something that is broken.

Sometimes you have to question authority. And the parents did that without added drama, whining or name-calling.

While I did notice the sometimes lackadaisical body language of some board members, I do have to give them “props,” too. It seemed they recognized their error and didn’t try to hide it with double-speak or rambling. As much as they could, they presented the facts of where they made their mistakes. They tried hard to keep their cool and, for the most part, they listened.

I don’t want to raise children that aren’t happy with their school. I want them to flourish in a setting that motivates and challenges its pupils. I want them to have teachers like I had, ones that are there to help without hesitation and truly know their stuff. Grade school teachers have an opportunity to truly bond with their students. They can show them the world without blinders but with warmth and positive direction.

Teachers can chance students’ lives if given the chance.

It’s equally important to have a school administration that cares about the student body and doesn’t try to limit parental volunteering or community support. It’s a great idea to attend the board meetings to see their roles in action and know what’s going on—parents shouldn’t be dissuaded from doing so. It’s crucial that we not have board members— who are publicly elected by the way—feeling beleaguered by parent opinions and basically just shuffling paper until the next semester. The school board and administration are the surveyors that should protect the school and its students. They should continually seek improvement, not just to its building but to its wealth of programs, academics and sports. If there’s a problem with school pride, they should work hardest to help correct it.

The question is, do we have all that right now in Bowman?

That is something I can’t answer. Instead, it is for parents and students to decide.

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Medora trip Hello, Welcome to North Dakota!

Bring me your tired, your hungry, your cold and wet! But be careful out there!

Several years ago, I suppose in the mid eighties, North Dakota was reported as the “least” visited state in the nation. It was a satirical look our proud state. This lady flew into Hector International Airport in Fargo. It showed hers as the only luggage on the carousel.

Then she was filmed wandering through the airport. The only person there. Outside was a ripping blizzard. She toured North Dakota visiting many of our highlights. The eternal flame at Minot. Which the wind had blown out. She visited the geographic center of the continent at Rugby. Where the snow plows roared by covering her with snow. She visited beautiful Lake Sakakawea, where she stood on the ice covered lake in a blizzard as the snow plows roared by. She climbed the snow covered capital steps in Bismarck as the snow plows roared by. Many people were

upset. I thought it was funny.

But, as you are probably aware, I am a little different.

This weekend I was invited to join a group from Washington, D.C. in Medora. I was invited because I am married to Shirley. Enough said.

We met at the Roughrider Hotel and boarded a bus to take a tour of the South Unit of the park.

No one warned me that the bus driver had been training for the Daytona 500 with a 40 passenger bus. You know those tight turns on the narrow park road? The ones you creep around with a car? This guy was determined to set a land speed record that, if I were a swearing man, I would swear we took the turns on two wheels!

Our first stop, and again, I am on a bus full of people that had never visited North Dakota, was one of the damn prairie dog towns. Prairie dogs are a prairie version of city rats. They ruin the land. And are destroying a once beautiful park. But that is my opinion. Which, by the way, is usually right.

Anyway, the guide gave us a quick tutorial on the prairie dog. They are cute. They live in towns. “But stay on the bus.

There can be rattlesnakes that have moved into the burrows.

There is poison ivy around the town. The prairie dogs have been known to carry and spread bubonic plague.” There

Ada is enjoying company this week as her son Roger and wife Debbie from Murphy’s Burrow Tennessee (near Nashville) as well as Ada’s daughter, Bonnie Volk from Gillette, Wyoming.

Monday they went to the Baker and Rhame areas and Tuesday they went on a shopping trip to Dickinson. They always stopped at good places to eat.

Morris Wanek took Hazel to the farm last weekend. Their son Jeff from Mandan and Hazel’s two grandsons’ Eric an Alex Wanek from Mandan came to see them. Hazel enjoyed having some of her family visit. Also, Jim and Nadine Wanek came

was a young boy standing out in the middle of the town as we sped by. I hope he lived.

Our next stop was…Well, we didn’t stop completely. We kind of slowed down as we passed a bunch of wild horses. But it was on a curve and the bus was leaning quite a bit so most of the people didn’t get a chance to view the horses. They were holding on to each other and trying to keep the luggage from smashing into the weaker passengers. Puke bags were being distributed and oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling.

We did see some bison. But the guide warned us. “Do not get out of the bus around the bison! They are very dangerous animals and are rutting this time of the year. They will attack anyone or anything that threatens them!”

Our next stop was out on a point where you could view scoria covered buttes and some of the unique flora and fauna of the park. “But for God’s sake, stay on the path. The rattlesnakes and poison ivy are rampant throughout this area!

Dammit, get back from that people eating tree!”

We did see a few more bison off in the distance. And we did see a couple of more wild horses standing on a ridge fighting flies. And the guide did explain how the park service is naming the horses. But that is a story for another time.

one day to spend some time with Morris and Hazel.

We welcome Bernard Swanson and Myron Schaaf to our midst and hope they will enjoy being here. Mary and Devon Mack and Tenny Kelner came to see Grandma Irma. Also, one day Joel Duetscher, his wife and daughter from Lemmon, South Dakota, stopped in to visit Grandma Irma.

Saturday we enjoyed having Mike and Heidi Bloomgren and their two sons Eric and Jordan come to play Bingo with us.

Before Bingo started we enjoyed them singing a song for us.

My visitors this week were Barb Kitzan, Gaye Dvernick, Dybe Jacobs, Ruth Kline, Arlene Mack from Bismarck, Mary Mack, Agnes Kitzan, and Betty Peterson. John and Pam Meier came Sunday afternoon to pick me up. They had made a big supper to take to the farm of my sister-in-law Maggie

Schaaf. Others that were there were Rod and Maggie Schaaf; Russell, Ricky, Randy and Lisa Schaaf; as well as Sara from Mead, Colorado; Bob Schaaf and Betty Hanson from Gillette, Wyoming. We had a very enjoyable evening and a big supper including a very delicious peach pie.

I have a big sunflower growing in the corner by my window.

One of the seeds from the bird feeders must have blown over.

The sunflower is at least eight feet tall and the big flower looks right into my window.

We’ve had a few rain showers, some had .80. It is getting a little dry and we could use a little moisture. Friday, Marci took a few of the resident to Shopko to do some shopping.

One day I went across the hall to visit Ada. Her family was also there. It’s not hard to have a lot of fun when they are around.

Gosh! What a bunch!!

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

OBITUARIES Ture ‘Bud’ Anderson, 88 Ture “Bud” Anderson, 88, of Bowman, formerly of Scranton, passed away on Aug. 5 at the Southwest Healthcare Services Hospital in Bowman.

Enchanted Highway Kickstarter campaign exceeds goal

By Cole Benz

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net The Enchanted Highway has become synonymous with the state of North Dakota.

But recently the famed metal sculptures have garnered attention past the state’s borders. Last year the television network FX aired promos for the show, “Fargo,” that featured the famous landmarks. The Enchanted Highway also caught the eye of The Huffington Post and a video documenting creator Gary Greff and his story was recently posted to their website.

It takes Greff about $60,000 to complete a sculpture, and for his next project he looked at an out-of-the-box idea and turned to a new age method of fundraising.

Greff’s last sculpture was the Fisherman’s Dream, a project that was completed in 2010.

The next feature of the Enchanted Highway will be a 70-foot by 70-foot spider web. The web will be strung together with three-quarter inch cable and be braced by brackets disguised as a wild flower garden. His inspiration came from string art.

“They used to do pictures with string, so basically I wanted something on that concept,” Greff said.

The project is unique in that most of it will need to be assembled directly onsite, because cable cannot be cut and re-welded.

He recently spoke at a conference in Fargo. He told his story and talked about building his sculptures and what that entails, including the struggle to find funding.

“I told them how I really struggle to get funding,” Greff said.

Someone stepped in with an idea.

Jackson Ridl, a special project intern with Emerging Prairie of Fargo was referred to Greff and together they set up a campaign with the crowdfunding service Kickstarter.

Crowdfunding is a method of raising money through a large amount of people, usually over the internet, and the people donating— called Backers—receive something in return.

So why turn to Kickstarter?

“We felt that Gary’s story needed to be spread with a larger audience and we felt that Kickstarter would be a

great way to get the word out, and also get some funds for him to move forward and create his next sculpture,” Ridl said.

The group came out and put together a video about Greff and the Enchanted Highway. It was posted to the campaign’s page for the world to see.

“They put it (the campaign) together and they ran with it,” Greff said.

The campaign opened on July 8 with an initial goal of $15,000. It closed on August 7 and the results were outstanding.

In the 30 days it was live, the campaign raised $20,793, overshooting their goal by $5,793. The campaign had 411 Backers, the most any North Dakota campaign has ever had through Kickstarter. And the $20,793 raised is the second highest raised by a North Dakota campaign.

Attributing to the success was, in part, Kickstarter. According to Ridl, Greff’s story must have really resonated with someone in the organization, because it was chosen as a staff pick and a productof-the-day. It was also featured on their company blog, a site that is seen worldwide.

Ridl said they also reached out to local me-

to Grand Forks to manage the feed department at the North Dakota Mill and Elevator. He returned to Scranton in 1979 and served as General Manager of Scranton Equity Exchange until he retired in 1990. He was a member and served as president of the North Dakota Grain Dealers Association.

Bud married Mila Conrad on Oct. 27, 1950 in Reeder and they raised their five children in Scranton, Porter, and Grand Forks. Bud and

OPINION

SKOL!: The Vikings Vine The first game of the NFL season is officially over, with the Minnesota Vikings defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers 14-3.

The Viking’s first team offense failed to put up any points on it’s one and only drive of the game, but they did move the ball down the field effectively. On the other side of the ball, the Viking’s first team defense did an excellent job of shutting down the Steeler’s offense, but that was to be expected considering

By Jordan Wright

the Steelers had most of their starters sit this game, including Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown and Heath Miller.

Notable Performances: There were many Vikings who had solid

performances, but there were a few who really jumped out at me. Teddy Bridgewater had an excellent game, going five of six for 44 yards. Bridgewater looked fully in control of the game and even though it was only the first series of the first game of the preseason, there should be no doubts about his ability to be a big time quarterback in this league.

Kyle Rudolph was looking like his former Pro Bowl MVP self, catching two passes for 11 yards.

If Kyle can stay healthy, he will be a reliable target for Bridgewater in the intermediate range.

After the first series, the backups took the field and there was no doubt this was a preseason game. Both teams had some sloppy play and head scratching moments, although there were a few plays and players that stood out among the chaos. Dani-

elle Hunter showed a lot of flashes, routinely blowing by the offensive tackle and creating havoc in the Steelers’ backfield. He reminds me a lot of Everson Griffen, as they both have tons of potential but could take a couple years before they are able to fully take advantage of it.

Gerald Hodges was another young defensive player who was always around the ball Sunday night. Hodges figures to be the Viking’s primary backup linebacker who could see plenty of snaps this season and could be in line to take Greenway’s spot in a couple years.

Tom Johnson racked up one of the Viking’s only two sacks, and was constantly making plays in the Steelers’ backfield. Johnson is another player who, like Hodges, is a primary backup and should see plenty of snaps this season.

Stefon Diggs really showed off his athleti-

cism on his punt returns, returning two punts for 69 yards and a touchdown (I know, the refs called him down at the three yard line, but after watching the replay it was clear to me Diggs stayed in bounds and it should have counted as a touchdown). Marcus Sherels has to be looking over his shoulder, because his only value to this team is his punt returning ability and if Diggs can produce similar numbers, Sherels will be gone.

Player of the game: Eric Sugarman, Head Athletic Trainer for the Minnesota Vikings. The most important things with preseason games is to get out of them relatively unscathed, and that’s just what the Vikings did. Major props to Sugarman and his staff for getting the players ready and helping to avoid any injuries.

The Vikings will be at home next Saturday, August 15 to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This will be the Bucs’ first preseason game, and America’s first chance to get a look at the number one overall pick Jameis Winston.

This game will be a great matchup for the Vikings’ secondary, having to match up against Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson, two wide receivers who stand 6-feet 5-inches tall. I don’t anticipate the Viking’s starters playing much more than they did tonight, which will give the coaching staff more time to evaluate players such as Trae Waynes, who struggled dia (as expected) this past story thro game.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

GAME AND FISH NEWS ■■ HIP, Federal Duck Stamp Requirements

Harvest Information Program registration for all migratory game bird hunters, regardless of age, and a federal duck stamp for waterfowl hunters age 16 and older, are required beginning Sept. 1.

Migratory game birds include ducks, geese, swans, mergansers, coots, cranes, snipe, doves and woodcock. Waterfowl includes ducks, geese, swans, mergansers and coots.

Hunters who purchase a license through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s electronic licensing system, gf.nd. gov, or instant licensing telephone number, 800406-6409, can easily get HIP certified.

Otherwise, hunters can

visit the HIP link on the Game and Fish website, or 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. However, hunters must HIP register in each state for which they are licensed before hunting migratory game birds.

The federal duck stamp is available for electronic purchase through the department’s website and instant licensing telephone number, or at license vendors registered with the department’s licensing system. Physical stamps are not available at North Dakota license

vendors this year, but they can still be purchased at many U.S. Postal Service offices.

This year’s federal duck stamp has a fee of $25, up from $15 last year. In addition, another $1.50 is added to cover shipping and handling costs of the actual physical stamp.

■■ Youth Outdoor Festival Sept. 3 in Minot

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department, local wildlife clubs and other sponsors will usher youngsters into fall during the annual Youth Outdoor Festival in Minot.

The event is Thursday, Sept. 3 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Game and Fish Conservation and Outdoors Skills Park on the grounds of the North

Dakota State Fair.

Young outdoor enthusiasts will experience a number of activities, including archery, fishing, waterfowl and upland game. Prizes will be awarded and food is provided.

For more information, contact Game and Fish outreach biologist Greg Gullickson at 701-7201640.

■■ SAH Accepting Goose Meat

The North Dakota Community Action Sportsmen Against Hunger program is accepting donations of goose meat taken during the early Canada goose season. In addition, the program will accept Canada and light (snow, blue and Ross’s) goose donations during the regular

waterfowl season.

Similar to last year, hunters can bring in their goose meat to participating processors. However, hunters must remove the breast meat from the birds before processors can accept them.

Hunters can clean their geese at home prior to delivery to a processor, but breast meat brought from home without a wing or head attached to the meat, must be accompanied by written information that includes the hunter’s name, address, signature, hunting license number, date taken and species and number taken.

Hunters may also deliver geese directly from the field to a processor, but identification must remain attached to the bird until in possession of

the processor.

Since no goose carcasses or feathers are allowed inside processing plants, hunters must be able to ensure proper disposal and clean-up of carcasses.

The list of participating processors will be updated as permits are received, and is available on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov.

Hunters interested in donating are encouraged to call processors before dropping off geese, to have a clear understanding of how goose breasts will be accepted and the processor’s hours of operation.

For more information, visit the CAPND website at www.capnd.org, or contact Sarah Hasbargen at 701-232-2452.

dia outlets, and Greff’s story was heavily covered throughout the state.

Greff said he was happy with how the campaign turned out.

“Yeah I was, I was pretty pleased with it,” Greff said.

Before Kickstarter, Greff spent his time writing grants and asking for donations to fund his art.

He also generates income for the highway projects through a gift shop he runs in Regent along with collecting donations in little boxes set up at every sculpture along the highway. Greff said the Kickstarter campaign was a much lighter workload than other forms of fundraising.

Kickstarter charges 5 percent of the proceeds raised, and Backers will get multiple pieces of Enchanted Highway memorabilia for their donations.

To further help Greff, Ridl said they will be looking into finding a grant or an organization that will match the funds raised through Kickstarter.

Now that Greff has a start on the financial portion of the project, he has to cross another hurdle— finding a piece of land.

The sculpture will need one acre of space, and right now he is having some trouble finding an owner

could take two to three years to complete.

Though there is still details to be worked out with the spider web sculpture,

Greff is already planning for the future. He said he wants to add two more sculptures to go with the proposed spider web, that

Former Hettinger doctor charged with possession of child pornography

By Cole Benz

For the Pioneer cbenz@countrymedia.net A former Hettinger doctor is facing criminal charges of possession of child pornography after he was arrested last week in Grand Forks.

Robert William Beattie, 55, of Grand Forks was arrested Aug. 6 by the Grand Forks Police Department after police discovered that an IP address being used to distribute child pornography was linked to him, according to a statement released by the department.

According to documents filed Aug. 7 in Grand Forks County District Court, Beattie is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, a Class C Felony. A Class C Felony carries a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment, up to a $5,000 fine, or both.

Beattie’s medical license to practice was temporarily suspended this week pending further investigation.

According to court documents, a flash drive found in Beattie’s office contained images and videos showing children of various ages engaging in sexual acts. The images, Beattie told police, were collected from online chat rooms.

Beattie was previously employed by United Clinic Physicians Group, an organization that contracts its physician services to regional medical institutions. Through that group, Beattie worked from 1991 to 2005 as a physician at West River Health Servic-

es in Hettinger. He left the hospital in 2005 to accept the position of chairman of the Family Medicine Department at the University of North Dakota.

Police received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in regards to child pornography that was being possessed, manufactured and distributed. An ongoing investigation showed that the IP address—a numerical label assigned to each device that utilizes an Internet connection—was found to be associated with Beattie’s home address, according to police.

A search warrant was served at both Beattie’s home and his current place of employment.

Assisting in the search were the Grand Forks Police Department, North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigations, University of North Dakota Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.

Beattie has retained Peter Welte, an attorney with

Beattie Vogel Law Firm in Grand Forks, as council, according to court records.

Originally from Garrison, Beattie formerly served as chief of West River’s Family Medicine Department in Hettinger and was also coordinator with the Rural Opportunities in Medical Education program.

West River also operates facilities in Bowman County.

“Dr. Beattie was an excellent physician who was never even suspected of any misconduct when he was here over 10 years ago,” said Jim Long, CEO

of West River.

This is the latest of two incidents where a physician with West River Health Services had been arrested for misconduct.

Last month, Robert John Gustafson, a surgeon at West River, pleaded not guilty to 12 counts related to the alleged sexual abuse of a teenage girl in Oregon.

Gustafson, 46, began working in November as a surgeon specializing in laparoscopic surgery at West River Health Services, employed by the United Clinic Physicians

Group.

He is still working at the Hettinger health care provider as he awaits a September court date in Oregon.

“As to Dr. Gustafson, I have not been made aware of any evidence as to misconduct, only charges,” Long said. “It is my hope and belief that he will be proven innocent of such.

If he is not, then we will have a different situation.”
