s summer winds to an end, kids across the county are looking forward to their first day of school. This year, however, it’s not just the kids who are excited to start a new school year. Bowman School Superintendent Wayne Heckaman is the newest addition to the Bowman County School District, and much like the kids, he is also excited for his first day of class at the Bowman school. “There’s always that excitement at the beginning of the year,” said the new superintendent. Heckaman is a self described “North Dakota kid.” Not only did

hether it was dinosaurs roaming the land or pioneers establishing a new community, Bowman County is home to an exciting history. The hidden treasures that harbor this local history are actually easy to find at the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum in Bowman.

Although the museum has many artifacts and historical stories they wish to display, space has become an issue. Many historic pieces are currently in storage, and introducing more displays would simply overcrowd the existing space. To remedy the situation, the museum has decided to expand their facility. Pioneer Trails Regional Mu-

seum Board President Dean Pearson explained that the board is in the beginning stages of connecting the museum’s east storage building to the actual museum with a new walkway through the alley. “We have lots of items that should be on display, but we just don’t have the space right now,” said Pearson.

Bowman Lodge gets golf simulator BY FRANK TURNER

vid golfers in the area run into the same problem every year in North Dakota. Long summer days slowly turn dark and frigid, and impending winter halts most outdoor activities and sports. Luckily, golfers in Bowman looking to improve their golf swing throughout the season have a new option, simulated golf. In June, the Bowman Lodge installed a new,

Bowman Lodge General Manager Gene Anne Kulseth said that she hopes the simulator will

provide another reason for more people from the local community to step into the lodge.

Along with the membership gym and indoor pool, Kulseth hopes the

Already, the east storage building has been renovated for the eventual installment of new historical displays. “We just finished inside renovations of the east building,” said Pearson. “It has new air conditioning, heating, and newly sheet rocked walls; it’s ready for brand new displays.” The next step toward expanding the museum, he said, is closing off the alley and creating a new walkway to link the two museum buildings. Right now, plans for the expansion are in their beginning stages and subject to change. Even still, the intent of the walkway is to make the expanded museum more manageable with a similar number of employees. Pearson added that the board has tentative plans to rearrange the exhibits in the museum once the expansion is complete, with pre-homestead era exhibits located in the entrance building and everything else in the back. “If you were

going to find information on the railroad, schools, or churches, you would go to the new building,” said the board president. “Whereas if you were looking at early ranches, Indian history, paleontology, or archeology you would look in the current building.” So far, the city hasn’t weighed in on the building plans just yet; nevertheless, Pearson said that he is sure that, once the logistics and requirements are figured out, the building plans will soon be approved. “It’s just a matter of making sure to cross the T’s and dot the I’s,” he said. Because the project is still in the beginning stages, Pearson said he was unsure of when it will be exactly finished. At the latest he guessed that the walkway structure would be erected by the end of next fall. In addition to building time, Pearson said that the board plans on taking adequate time to make the new historic displays professional. “There’s no rush for it,” he said. “We don’t just want the historic object, we want the entire story with it.”

Heckaman attributed his love for education to the example set by his parents. “Both of my parents were educators,” he said, “I grew up in the with the system all around me, so education was just a normal path to choose.” Before working as superintendent, Heckaman worked as a men’s basketball coach, teacher, assistant principal, and high school principal at different schools across the state. Ultimately, Heckaman said that it was both the available career opportunity and his love of the western region of North Dakota brought him and his

family to Bowman. “I’m really blessed to have this opportunity,” he said. “The West is where I met my wife, and I’ve always known that this part of the state has been good to me.” Although the new superintendent just moved to Bowman in June, Heckaman said that he has already started to make friends and connections in both the Rhame and Bowman communities. “The few weeks that we have been here have been a really great time,” he said. “A lot of really good people have come up to my family and I and really made us feel welcome.” As superintendent, Heckaman said that, as the school year progresses, he is excited to get acclimated with the school and the community, identify the goals of the district and

eventually work with the district and the community to move forward to reach those goals. “When any individual steps into a new position, it’s always reflective to see the moving parts of the school district,” he said. “My role is getting to know community members and knowing how both the community and school district can work together.” Even with the impending approach of the first day of school, Heckaman said he and the staff are ready for the new school season. “It’s coming quick, but we will be ready for it,” he said. “You will notice that educators are already setting up their rooms and we have already started football practice. The kids and staff are excited. That’s the special part of being an educator.”

Bowman Lodge can provide more winter activities for the community when North Dakota freezes over. “In summertime there is tons of stuff, but in the winter you can get really limited in the activities you can do,” said Kulseth. “We want that this new simulator to provide our hotel guests and community members a new amenity.” So how does it work? Inside the lodge, golfers get to swing a real golf club and hit a ball in an enclosed area and the simulator does the rest. Both camera and laser equipment in the simulator capture how the golfer swings their club and then recreates the shot on a screen, like a videogame. After, the simulator records a video on how the golfer hit

the ball and gives indicators like ball speed, the angle of the shot, and how many yards the ball would have traveled on a real golf course. The simulation even allows golfers to experience famous golf courses from around the world, like Pebble Beach. Looking forward, the Bowman Lodge hopes to start their own winter golf

league using the simulator. “It would be just like the league at the country club,” she said. “The simulator would keep track of the league and at the end of the year we would have prizes.” In addition to golfing, the machine has different games for all ages including soccer, baseball, football, a hunting simulator, and even zombie dodge ball. The machine is open to both the community and Bowman Lodge visitors. People interested in using the simulator can rent the room for $25 an hour and multiple people can use it at the same time. “It’s an just another addition to the hotel,” said Kulseth. “My main focus is that it gets used by the community. It’s just another thing to do for the community.”

Guest Columnist Hello,

You can feel the fall in the air. Oh, I know we’ve had some hot days. And the summer thundershow-

Dakota Community Bank

ers have been rolling through the Dakotas at a pretty steady pace. But the nights have been cool and we had one morning in the for ties this past week. It will get hot again, but you can see fall is getting close. Now with fall getting close you have kids getting ready for school. I think football was invented to make young boys more anxious to go back to school. Especially if you live in Harding County, South Dakota. The Ranchers take their football seriously. A lot of my

friends have kids or grandkids heading off to college. Some close. Some traveling across the nation. If you are in agriculture this is a bad idea. Because the kids will learn something. And you know, as well as I do, how things should be done. You’ve always done them that way, and your dad did it that way, and his dad did it that way. A case in point is the young man who left his home in Southwest Nor th Dakota and attended NDSU. It used to be the agricultural school, or cow

Pastor's Corner: Do Not Worry BY FATHER PAUL EBERLET

hapter twelve of the Gospel of Luke encourages us to completely depend on God. Jesus said to his disciples, “As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore. … Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.” Just think, our heavenly Father is PLEASED

to give us all we need, and especially to give us a share in his heavenly kingdom! Throughout his life, Jesus demonstrates trust in God’s plan, and in doing so teaches us to trust. Jesus entrusts himself to Joseph and Mary to provide for his needs as he grows into a man, full of wisdom and knowledge. Jesus entrusts himself to his heavenly Father’s plan by taking up the cross and enduring crucifixion and death for the sake of the world’s salvation. Jesus trusts the Father will raise him up on the third day, and later ascend to his right hand where he will

judge the living and the dead. When Jesus healed the sick and fed the multitudes, and performed any of his numerous miracles, he reminded us to place our faith and hope not in this world, but in the world to come. Let us entrust our life to God and take to heart Jesus’s words “do not worry” and “do not be afraid”? Lord, help us to live in gratitude for the ways you lead and provide for us. Help us not to dwell too much on the past or the future, but to life fully in the present moment, with our heart and mind full of your love and hope.

He had learned to keep meticulous records and recorded ever y dime of input into this pen of wonder ful steers. When the cattle were sold, Dad and son both beamed with pride. The steers were all choice and a handful graded prime. They topped the market. But the market was poor. That happens a lot when you are in agriculture. The son went

over the records dutifully. They had lost $178 per head! He took the books over to Dad and went over all the input costs, the death loss, interest on loans… Ever ything. When he finished, his Dad calmly looked at him and said, “Son, we will never do that again.” The son felt bad and quietly replied, “ We will never feed cattle again?” “No”, Dad replied, “ We will never keep records again.’ Later, Dean

North Dakota Game and Fish Report

Swan Application Deadline Aug. 14

Swan hunters are reminded the deadline for submitting an application for the 2019 season is Aug. 14. Applicants must submit an online application through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply. The resident swan license is $10, while the nonresident fee is $30. The statewide tundra swan hunting season is Sept. 28 - Dec. 29. Successful applicants will receive a tag to take one swan during the season. Since swans are classified as waterfowl, nonresidents may hunt them only during the period their nonresident waterfowl license is valid. Hunters should note that Game and Fish will not mail swan licenses to successful applicants until after they purchase a valid 2019-20 hunting license. All swan hunters, regardless of age, are required to have a general game and habitat license. In addition, residents age 16 and older need a small game license and nonresidents must have a waterfowl license. HIP Registration Required for Migratory Bird Hunters Migratory bird hunters of all ages are reminded to register with the Harvest Information Program prior to hunting ducks, geese, swans, mergansers, coots, cranes, snipe, doves and woodcock. Hunters must register in each state for which they are licensed to hunt.

usher youngsters into fall during the annual Youth Outdoor Festival in Minot.

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.

The PLOTS guide features maps highlighting these walk-in areas, identified in the field by inverted triangular yellow signs, as well as other public lands.

HIP registration is a cooperative program designed to determine a sample of hunters from which to measure the harvest of migratory birds for management purposes.

The guides are not available to mail, so hunters will have to pick one up at a local vendor or Game and Fish office or print individual maps from the website.

The event is Thursday, Aug. 29 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.

PLOTS Guide Available Online The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Private Land Open To Sportsmen Guide for 2019 is now available online at the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov. In addition, the free printed PLOTS guides will be available in mid-August at most license vendors and other locations throughout the state.

The guide will feature about 791,000 PLOTS acres. Because the guide is printed in mid-August, some PLOTS tracts highlighted in the guide may have been removed from the program since the time of printing. There will also be some PLOTS tracts where the habitat and condition of the tract will have changed significantly. Conversely,

Dakota Datebook

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Hebron Brick Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm August 19, 2019 — In the early years of North Dakota, there was a severe shortage of building materials, which is why many people made their homes from prairie sod. In some areas of the state, however, a good grade of clay was discovered, and within a few years, at least 18 brick factories sprung up. It was on this date in 1904 that the Hebron Fire and Pressed Brick Factory was founded. Hebron was settled as a spin-off of a successful campaign in New Salem, where the NP Railroad worked with the German Evangelical Colonization Society to recruit settlers. In 1882, Society pastors from Illinois and Wisconsin had sent recruitment pamphlets to other Evangelical pastors and also wrote optimistic letters to German-language newspapers. An agent in New York caught German immigrants coming off the boat, promising them a town with a church, school, and “Christian hotel.” By the following spring, New

Salem had two hundred new settlers, and in 1885, the Society established a second colony 33 miles west called Hebron. The majority of those who ended up settling in Hebron were from Johannestal, Crimea, in South Russia. The town’s founder was generally considered to be 31-yearold Ferdinand Lutz. Less than ten years later, Lutz and his partner, Charles Weigel, started the Hebron brick factory. Within a few years, their proposed budget of $50,000 quickly escalated as equipment and other improvements were added. The clay has been coming from the Bear Den Member of the Golden Valley Formation, which is about 58-64 million years old. At first, it was brought to the factory by horse and wagon. A couple different methods were used to form bricks – some were dry-pressed and others were made of “stiff mud,” which used powdered clay mixed with water. The clay was cut into bricks and then fired – or “baked” – in large coal-burning kilns for many days before hardening into usable bricks.

In 1913, the plant expanded, and 12 continuous kilns were built into an outdoor embankment. With arched brick openings, the side-by-side kilns resembled an ancient Roman aqueduct. That year, the factory turned out slightly fewer than five million bricks. By the following year, railroad cars replaced horse-drawn wagons, and 8,500,000 bricks were produced by 1916, with a potential to turn out as many as 13,000,000. Market conditions during World War I hit the factory pretty hard, and it became almost impossible to keep the plant solvent. Bankruptcy looked likely, and the stockholders authorized the sale of the property. The “general and sales office” was moved to Fargo in 1921, and five years later, the sales manager, the plant superintendent and the president were all replaced. Disaster hit just a few months later when the major portion of the operating plant burned to the ground. Still, the company hung on. The factory was rebuilt, converting to gas-fired kilns. Since then, the company has survived the Great Depression, another world war, has gone through five different owners, and is estimated to have manufactured one billion bricks. After more than a hundred years of existence, Hebron Brick is not only the only surviving brick factory in the state, it is also the oldest manufacturing company, of any kind, in North Dakota. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

Early Oologists Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm August 20, 2019 — By the 1890s, Stump Lake in northeast North Dakota was a Mecca for waterfowl hunters, and a magnificent three-story hotel called the Wamduska House provided room and board to hunters from as far away as New York City. Oologists, too, found the area ripe for the picking. What’s an oologist, you ask? That’s a person who collects birds’ eggs – or used to, anyway. One collector, Alf Eastgate, got married in 1893 and later wrote, “As money was not as plentiful as hard work, my wife said to wait until spring and she would go with me on a collecting trip.” The following year, the couple arrived at Stump Lake, and over the next months, they collected both eggs and bird skins. When Eastgate was injured in an accident in mid-June, the couple decided to stay and settled on the south end of Stump Lake. A frequent visitor at the Eastgate farm was a Grand Forks county clerk and fellow collector, Holton Shaw. The two men had been collecting bird eggs together since 1892. In fact, in 1895, they and five East Coast collectors spent four months on an oology expedition, during which (they later said) they were “in the field every day

collecting and noting the migratory and breeding species of this territory.” During one of his expeditions, Eastgate wrote: “Found the nest and eggs of Ruby throated hummingbird It was a climb for your life up a small poplar leaning over the road on a dead branch leaning way out about 35 or 40 feet We got in to Carpenter Lake. . . takes about 5 hours to drive 12 miles by section line so you can guess how the road winds and twists around the hills with a mud hole or creek at the foot of every hill. . . It is my sorry work to look for a nest after driving over the prairies. . . We have been out 20 days and have 159 skins...driving 125 miles over as bad roads as you want to use but every thing else has been in our favor – fine weather and no mosquitos to speak of have not had to use our netting one night.” The oologists provided documentation about each set of eggs found, including the collector’s name, date, weather conditions and location of where the eggs were found. In the early years, oologists would often kill and skin parent birds for proving the authenticity of the eggs. Interestingly, it was a matter of “scientific honor” to take every egg in the nest. During his hunts with Eastgate, Shaw collected eggs not just for himself but also for selling and

trading with other oologists. For example, on one day in June 1893, he found 29 common tern’s nests for a total of 85 eggs; 16 sets were to fill orders from other collectors, and 11 sets were for a “private collection” – perhaps his own. Although the area had an abundance of birds, by 1912 Stump Lake was the nation’s last known breeding ground for the white-winged scoter, and needless to say, oologists got good returns on scoter eggs. Whether collectors were part of the problem or not, the bird soon disappeared from North Dakota. Bird enthusiasts noticed other species start to dwindle, as well. Teddy Roosevelt recognized Stump Lake’s importance as a migratory breeding ground, and in 1905, he set aside five islands in Stump Lake – totaling 28 acres – as a national bird reserve. It was the third such reserve in the country. Eastgate, who was still living at Stump Lake, became the reserve’s first warden, and shortly after, both he and Shaw stopped the practice of collecting eggs. As opposition to egg hunting grew, oologists started using cameras to document their research instead of robbing nests. It’s pretty safe to say that our feathered friends have appreciated the change. ###
