Police conduct search related to alleged crime CHIEF: Search warrant still pending for second location By Bryce Martin

High heat contributes to large pasture fire

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Scorching temperatures were to blame for a pasture fire last week that claimed about 100 acres of land in Scranton. Clouds of white and black smoke from the fire could be seen as far away as Bowman on Aug. 14. Bowman Fire Chief Chris Palczewski said the fire was ignited by a piece of machinery working to combine the land, located about 2 miles north of Scranton. A passerby initially reported the flames to police. Scranton Fire District contacted the fire departments in Bowman and Reeder at around 2:30 p.m. for assistance. The fire became under control about 20 minutes after their arrival, roughly at 3:30 p.m., according to Palczewski. The acreage, mostly consisting of peas, was a total loss and the fire also
claimed a row of old trees. “The temperature and low humidity makes fire burn more erratic,” Palczewski said. The temperature around the time of the incident climbed over the 100-degree mark. Palczewski said he was unsure how much of the land had already been combined prior to the fire. The land belongs to Tracy Schumacher, who later thanked the community and his neighbors for their support. The National Fire Protection Association makes several recommendations to help avoid accidental fires when farming. Keeping machines clean, particularly around the engines and engine compartments, is crucial to promote safety. It was suggested to use a high pressure washer or compressed air to remove caked-on oil, grease and crop residue; check coolant and oil levels daily; check the pressurized oil supply line to the turbo-

Few details were released as the matter is ongoing. Headley and Officer Dave Wyman carried several brown paper bags from the scene, which was marked off with police tape.

‘TOO HOT OUT’ By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Many people opted to forgo a summertime barbecue last week, instead seeking a reprieve from the near-record temperatures by standing in front of their air conditioners. The National Weather Service in Bismarck issued high heat warnings throughout last week as daily high temperatures soared into the 100s. The pinnacle of the hot summer weather was reached Aug. 12, with the high temperature around 105 degrees in Bowman. “Wow, you're hotter than Los Angeles today,” Carol Thom commented on the Pioneer’s Facebook page. Some found a way to beat the heat, either by taking a dip in the city pool or staying inside. “Too Hot! Staying out of it,” said Mary Foust. But a majority of the region’s farmers had another priority: harvesting. While warmer temperatures typically make for good weather during harvesting, they were the cause of a massive fire that burned about 100 acres of peas on one Scranton farm. But a dramatic cool down quickly ended the area’s hot streak earlier this week, with highs dipping into the low- to mid-60s. With the low temperatures also came relatively heavy rainfall. According to the National Weather Service in Bismarck, however, the high temperatures for the end of summer aren’t completely through. It was forecasted

Record El Niño to give N.D. warm, dry winter
NEWS BRIEFS
Weather modification week 10 update Record high temperatures topping the 100-degree mark were experienced last week in southwestern North Dakota. There were widely scattered 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 11,12, and 16. In all, 6 flights were flown by the two project aircraft. In contrast to last week, cooler than normal temperatures are expected for most of this week with highs mainly in the 70s. The upper level pattern favors an alternating ridge/trough setup that will bring chances for showers and thunderstorms to the area every few days. 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.
Caribbean a new market for North Dakota wheat Four current and potential wheat buyers from Guyana, Haiti, St. Vincent and Trinidad will travel the week of Aug. 16 to visit North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Louisiana to learn more about U.S. wheat quality and its supply system. U.S. Wheat Associates is sponsoring this team visit in cooperation with its state wheat commission members and USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. The team includes a representative from a new mill in Haiti that started operating only in the past year, as well as a manager from St. Vincent whose mill will soon have to compete with a new mill on the island of St. Lucia that will likely use French wheat. According to Erica Olson, NDWC Marketing Specialist, the Caribbean region represents a growing demand area for North Dakota hard red spring (HRS) wheat. With tourism such an important part of the economy, demand for convenience and higher quality type wheat foods is growing.

Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net This year’s El Niño could be the strongest recorded since 1950, according to officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If current forecasts are accurate, North Dakota will consequently experience a warmer, drier winter. Because of the large effects suggested by the El Niño forecast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an El Niño advisory. The term El Niño refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate phenomenon linked to a periodic warming in sea-surface temperatures across the central and east-central Pacific. The current El Niño arrived in March, as pre-
dicted by forecasters. Since then, above normal sea-surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific have continued to increase. According to Mike Halpert, deputy director of the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, a temperature increase of 3.6 degrees or greater is likely to be observed in a portion of the Pacific Ocean, an event that has only been recorded three times over the last 65 years—recorded during the 1972-73, 1982-83, 1997-98 El Niño episodes. That small temperature change leads to impacts already seen on the east coast of the United States, specifically a rather inactive hurricane season, and enhanced activity in the east and central Pacific Ocean. That activity is anticipated to last for the next few months. Further impacts won’t be visible until winter.
“Although we know what the typical relationships are between El Niño and global climate patterns, the climate system is far more complicated than just El Niño,” Halpert said. “So, none of the typical impacts are ever guaranteed.” Halpert and Kevin Werner, director of the western region climate services, issued an update on the concerning El Niño forecast Aug. 13 during a media teleconference. El Niño’s impacts are long lasting, spanning into the winter season and possibly even into early spring. Halpert said that the forecasted El Niño would result in above average winter temperatures in North Dakota, largely for the area from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes. It would also result in below average winter precipitation for the same areas.
During an El Niño, the changes in Pacific Ocean temperatures affect the patterns of tropical rainfall from Indonesia to the west coast of South America, a distance covering approximately one-half way around the world, according to the NOAA. Those changes in tropical rainfall affect weather patterns throughout the world. The advisory stated that the chances are greater than 90 percent that El Niño will continue through the northern hemisphere’s 2015-16 winter season, and around an 85 percent chance it will last into early spring 2016. All models surveyed predict El Niño to peak with a strong event in late fall, early winter and continue into spring. At this time, the forecaster consensus unanimously favors a strong El Niño.

Lodge aims to fill niche

New hotel, restaurant now open for business By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net
Paul Cronen believed Bowman was missing an important niche in the area. While there are several local hotels, Cronen said key elements that would cater to more travelers were absent. “Other hotels in town do a really good job, but they were just missing that niche of a full-service hotel,” said Cronen, who represents TLC Hospitality, the management company hired by the owners of Bowman Lodge to set up the hotel and hire staff. “There are a lot of people that travel who want those amenities.” cifics It was Cronen’s mission to ensure Bowman Lodge temswould have many of those re-amenities available. was Since quietly opening y, ain mid-July after a couple aid. years of postponement, willdelay and uncertainty, omesBowman Lodge has altheready been fully booked bow-on several occasions, notaup-bly for the Bowman High School All Class Reunion. The majority of guests staying at the lodge or taking advantage of its extra features said that they are pleased to see something of its caliber open in Bowman. Resting between a large, privately owned fitness center and a sit-down burger restaurant, Bowman Lodge is billed as a full-service hotel that boasts ample amenities. The space features 47 guestrooms, two large conference rooms available for business meetings, weddings—the lodge already has some booked—or other events, a heated indoor pool set to a comfortable and constant 82 degrees and hot tub. Guests are greeted in the morning with a complimentary hot breakfast. The interior of the lodge’s lobby undoubtedly desires to make a statement. Rustic hardwood flooring ignites the space’s rural, western flare, along with an open floor plan that reveals the ornate craftsmanship of the twostory ceiling. A mix of modern and rustic furniture fills the large square-footage of the lobby, lending some added comfort for guests and a wall-to-wall stone fireplace with colorchanging flames gives rest to a large television. Red carpet leads up the grand,

Bowman Lodge sets itself apart by highlighting the area’s attributes, paying tribute to the community in which it operates. Inside, a large bison sculpture stands tall over the hotel’s main entrance; a local artist’s oil paintings hang proudly on the walls in the front gathering space of the lobby; each guestroom showcases antique photographs taken from around the area, obtained from the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum; and the adjoining restaurant boasts some memorabilia purchased in Amidon and some donated from local history buffs. The little touches make all the difference, according to Devon Mack, general manager of Bowman Lodge. Mack described her role at the hotel as “doing it all.” While she’s obviously been swamped since taking the job, she shows enthusiasm for the lodge’s future. She manages a staff of about 30 part- and fulltime employees and oversees the property, located at 207 West Highway 12 in Bowman. Considering the established motels located in the area, Mack said she hopes they are friendly competition. But it already appears so as Mack said nearby hotels have referred guests to the lodge and they have returned the favor. There is some minor construction currently ongoing inside the hotel and on its grounds, but Mack
said most guestrooms are finished and the lodge is fully operational. “We’re still working out the kinks,” Mack said. So far, however, she said it has gone smoothly. Leslie Castinado, assistant general manager, aids Mack and oversees operations of Grazers Burgers and Beers.
Grab a burger and a beer
The lodge’s adjoining restaurant, Grazers Burgers and Beer, officially opened Aug. 18 after a series of “soft” openings for family and friends. Since it was first reported that a new restaurant was opening at the lodge, the buzz has been constant. Cronen developed the concept for the cozy restaurant, which can seat up to 57 people, on a drive around town last year. He was heading back to the lodge from a Bowman City Commission meeting during which the lodge’s liquor license application was discussed. A full liquor license, granting the ability to serve liquor, beer and wine, was not available in the city at that time so the lodge could only obtain a beer- and wine-only license. Cronen decided to take a different approach to offer a pleasant dining experience that would fit well in the northeast corner of the lodge. When mulling over a catchy name for the restaurant, Cronen referred to the local area; he noticed the abundance of grazing cows. From there, Grazers
Burgers and Beers was born. “We thought it would fit nicely in the space provided,” Cronen explained of the idea. Cronen and his nephew spent 10 hours one day developing recipes to round out the restaurant’s menu. Some of what they created was unique; most were mouth-watering. “People seem to really like the burgers,” Mack said. Listed below the traditional burger offerings, “Bessie’s Basics” as the menu calls them, is a list of specialty burgers. Choices ranging from a “Holy Cow Burger”—mushroom and Swiss cheese—to a “Bulls to the Wall” burger—bacon, hot sauce and pepper jack cheese—offer some more interesting options to entice the palate. Cronen said it was his nephew’s suggestion to add a chocolate burger. Yes, chocolate. It’s a burger patty topped with a slab of chocolate and other chocolate items, between two fresh buns. It pairs well with dark beer. “Kids are going crazy for it,” Cronen said with a laugh. The menu also provides a more mature option with something foodies around the globe have come to enjoy adding to their burgers—an egg. The “Drop in the Bucket” burger consists of bacon, cheese and lettuce topped with a fried egg. Diners can also “beef up” their burger by choosing from a lengthy list of additions and toppings, for an extra charge of course. Paying further homage
to the region’s agriculture community, Grazers names it special potato side “cow pile potato,” made with a secret recipe Monterey Jack cheese dip—don’t bother asking what’s in it; they won’t tell you—and bacon bits served over a choice of fresh-cut fries or spiral-cut chips, which they affectionately call “cow chips.” To wash it all down, the beer menu offers some unique, regional beers on tap—try Paddlefish, hailing from a brewery in Wibaux, Mont., or a frothy mug of Moose Drool, a brown ale from Big Sky Brewery. Grazers also offers some more traditional beers available on tap or in bottles. It’s an extensive list for those seeking to indulge in some brew after a hearty burger. Cronen said he also hopes to create a list of beer suggestions that will pair well with respective burgers. Patrons can currently sample a flight of three, 5-ounce beers and discover one to their liking. The dining experience shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes from ordering to when the food is served, according to Cronen, who added that Grazes is a sit-down restaurant that should be based on getting food quickly. That’s important especially when just grabbing something quick during the lunch rush. Cronen is counting on the new staff to make that possible, but said he is confident with the staff’s ability, and he’s no stranger to the hospitality industry. His management company has assisted with
the development of other hotels across the country and some within the state. Baron’s Lodge in Killdeer was set up by the group, but is volumes different compared with Bowman Lodge. The property in Killdeer, as Cronen explained, is a small motel aimed at housing oilfield traffic. Bowman Lodge is geared more towards traveling families, workers and more. That’s what the bulk of the guests have been so far. The hotel has also received a fair amount of walk-ins, which was a surprise since the lodge’s sign has yet to be installed outside the building. Mack said that is supposed to be put up soon. Grazer’s will have it’s own sign near its separate entrance. While travellers are the key demographic for a hotel, the lodge also wants to benefit the community. Cronen said the lodge would help bolster tourism to the region because Bowman Lodge gives a full-service experience for travelers to call their home away from home. The lodge will also capitalize on the expected increase of professionals flying into the new Bowman airport. Local residents will be able to utilize the lodge’s heated pool—details for that are currently being worked on—and can join Prairie Fitness, located in the northwest corner of the building. They can also use the large banquet rooms for any event or meeting. Available rooms offer the traditional single queen, double queen, single king, king suites with pullout couches, and special suites with a whirlpool tub. Nightly rates range from $89 to $130. The lodge prides itself on being fully compliant with standards set by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Bowman Lodge and Grazers Burgers and Beers is owned by Bowman Lodge, LLC and operated by TLC Hospitality. Prairie Fitness is owned by Jennifer Wade of Bowman. Grazers Burgers and Beers is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. They can be contacted at (701) 523-7751. Guests are able to make reservations for Bowman Lodge online at www. BowmanLodgeND.com or by calling (701) 5237750.

LOCAL BUSINESS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Wade making fitness a priority on the prairie By Lori Sola For the Pioneer
When Prairie Fitness reopened its doors on July 6 at a new location, owner Jennifer Wade was raring to go. “I love seeing other people succeed and feel good,” Wade said. “I’m here and ready to help people reach their goals in a comfortable non-judgmental atmosphere.” As Wade explained, everyone has their own set of goals. “You get out what you put in,” she likes to say. Whether it’s to have enough energy to run after grandchildren, carry in the groceries at one time, work off stress, lose weight or rehabilitate, Wade will provide the proper guidance needed to succeed. Prairie Fitness occupies the northwest corner of Bowman Lodge, located at 207 Highway 12 West in Bowman. The gym spreads across 3,600 square feet, boasting more space, more equipment and a colorful, modern design. Wade said the eye-pleasing upgrades give the space a feeling of “big town flare” in the hometown comfort of Bowman. Prairie Fitness was previously located inside of a home in the city. “I am so appreciative (of) Bowman Lodge for this opportunity to expand my gym,” Wade said. Her previous location housed about half of the equipment she has now. Equipment of all sizes fills the space nicely and provides options to work individually, as a group or with a personal trainer. There’s cardio, stretching, cross training, free weights, select raise, assisted pull up, cage, leg press, cable machines, lap pull down and more. Another separate and spacious room is for group classes such as world famous Les Mills Bodypump and CXWorx. The facility also includes a designated area for shoe changing and coat

Prairie Fitness offers state-of-the-art equipment and different classes for those wanting to stay healthy and in shape.

She can select which TV she’ll tune into with the simple touch of a button. According to Eagon, she couldn’t ask for a better trainer than Wade. “Jennifer (Wade) is very passionate about what she does. She is always willing to help.” Whether it’s a gentle encouragement or a more aggressive push, Wade is there. “She’s very good,” Eagon added. Within the walls of Prairie Fitness, Wade prides herself in providing a sense of community. “We are fostering relationships and building confidence, energy and endur-
ance. It’s about the overall wellness of a person—physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s about how you feel in your own skin,” she said. Prairie Fitness offers unique motivating programs such as the 2015 Miles in 2015 challenge. “It keeps me very motivated because I don’t want to let my (workout) partner down,” Eagon said. There are currently two International Sports Sciences Association-certified personal trainers. However, through Prairie Fitness and the National Exercise Trainers Association, the opportunity for others to teach their own group fitness class is just around the corner. Certification classes will be available in Bowman next month. “It’s not about me,” Wade said. “It’s about everyone else. It’s about seeing other people do well, feel better and just be there for a person when they are discouraged.” In October, Wade will be a guest
speaker at the 13th annual Rural Women in America Conference in Bowman. She will share tips and ideas on how women can get their bodies moving and healthier. The main entrance to Wade’s facility is on the west side of the building. The secured and controlled-access facility allows members 24-hour service by using their key fob. Guests of Bowman Lodge can enter through the lobby between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. with their guest card. Prairie Fitness offers health insurance discounts and a variety of membership options. To discuss what option works best for you, call Jennifer Wade at 701-523-7369.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Comment at school meeting not meant As I read the post on Monday night after the school board meeting, which quoted me as saying, “There is no school spirit, none,” I was sick to my stomach. At that moment I knew that my choice of words would hurt and dismiss the passion and hard work of many people in the community, both inside and outside of that room. Due to my business, I have the privilege of seeing firsthand the pride individuals, coaches, school staff and
Not all homes easy for disabled people to visit Visitability may be a new term to most people, but the Visitability Movement was started back in 1987 by Eleanor Smith. Visitability is a basic home design that incorporates three accessibility features on the main floor. Those features are: At least one zero step entrance at the front, back, or side entrance of the home, or through the garage; All main floor interior doors have a clear width of 32 inches; Main floor bathroom is usable by someone using a wheelchair; Main floor bathroom is accessible to someone using a wheelchair. Since the inception of Visitability, thousands of homes across the country have been built with these three basic features. With proper planning, there is little or no additional cost. The benefits of a visitable home are numerous! As we get older, this type of home allows us to age in place and not be forced to go through the expense of making our home accessible. It can also save us from having to

people from our community have for our school and our kids. I, in no way, meant to take that away from them. My comment came from being frustrated with donations intended to instill school pride and uplift school spirit being offered but not allowed. I felt as if we took one step forward and then three steps back. After the meeting I did feel as though our opinions on the donations were heard. We were reassured there would be steps created so that our community and school can come together in building a great Bulldog Nation. So with that I would like to say that I am truly sorry for my comment and for any hurt feelings it may have caused. - Tana Smolnikar, Bowman move to an institutionalized setting. Family, friends and neighbors with mobility impairments are able to visit you in your home. I speak from experience. I have lived in Bismarck for 30 years and I’m only able to visit one friend’s home. Besides the advantages for people with physical disabilities, having a zero step entrance makes it much easier to carry in groceries, move heavy furniture and even get strollers in and out of the home. When it comes time to sell a visitable home, there is a wider market available to purchase these homes, because of the aging population that we are seeing in both the Bismarck, Mandan communities and throughout the state of North Dakota. Can you imagine if it was your child not being invited to their friend’s birthday parties or other celebration’s because their homes were not accessible? People with disabilities face this problem everyday of their lives; they are unable to enter many buildings or homes because of a few steps or because the bathrooms are not wide enough to be usable. They are being isolated from society which profoundly impacts the quality of their lives. So if you are considering building a home or are in the process of remodeling, think about these three easy steps, you could change the life of a family member, a neighbor or a child. - Royce Schultze, Dakota Center for Independent Living

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer
A vegan Hello, Last week, when I told you about our Medora adventure, I failed to mention our evening meal. Now, when you travel with a group from Washington, D.C., you kind of expect something different. Not bad or anything, just different. The plan was to go to the pitchfork fondue. I’m not real fond of pitchfork fondues. I grew up around pitchforks and I’m a little leery of where they have been most of their life. Shirley assures me that these forks have never seen the inside of a barn or cleaned out the pen where you keep the calves that have developed scours. I know I should trust her, but then, how could she be certain. And besides, steaks are to be cooked over a fire, not boiled in oil. Unless of course they are steak tips.
HAT TIPS is generously sponsored by the following businesses:
That was the plan anyway, but we were visiting and time slipped away so it was bar pizza for supper before the musical. The lady I was sitting next to was a vegan. I guess vegan is a relatively new word. It’s like a professional vegetarian. Something we don’t see a lot of in ranch country. They don’t eat meat. Of any kind. They don’t drink milk. They don’t eat cheese. They die relatively young from nothing. It reminds me of a story Shirley tells. She was at a legislative meeting in some far away city. With legislators from across the nation. The gentleman she was sitting next to asked what she did for a living. She proudly explained that she was a rancher. That we had a cow/calf operation and raised some horses. He looked at her with distaste and proclaimed that he was a “vegan”. Shirley is a country girl. She quickly exclaimed, “I just loved Star Trek too”! You can take the girl out of the mountain but you can’t take the mountain out of the girl. Anyway this young lady I’m sitting by explains that she is a vegan. Not to be confused with the Vigen brothers that ride bucking horses, but it is pronounced the same. She reluc-

Sunday Joanne Schwartz visited residents; those that she visited were Ada as well as Hazel and Morris Wanek. Mary Dennis spent time with Joann White on Sunday too. Also, they had Song and Scripture at the chapel on Sunday afternoon. Afterwards Agnes Kitzan brought her sister Lena from Glendive to meet me.
tantly eats pizza, but first she picks off the pepperoni, hamburger, and sausage off the meat lovers pizza. She tries to get the cheese off, but it is kind of tough duty. Then she eats this mushy crust with the tomato sauce on. Luckily, she was sitting by a fairly large man that quickly took the stuff she had picked off and topped his pizza with it. A short time later, the lady, who was still a little gaunt, ordered a BLT. Just trying to be helpful, I quickly pointed out to her that the B in a BLT is bacon! Bacon! I announced rather loudly that our vegan was going to eat bacon! She quickly explained to me that she loved bacon. So when she became a vegan she went to her rabbi and explained her dilemma. And you know what her rabbi did? The rabbi granted her an exemption to her diet. She can be a vegan and eat bacon! Bacon! And she was cute. So I explained that I too was going to be a vegan. And I was going to talk to my bartender (I don’t have a rabbi) that I need an exemption also. And I think he will allow me to be a vegan that eats pretty much anything! Steak, medium rare, cooked over a nice fire please. Later, Dean

Friday, August 14th, Lynette Kaczmarek from Hettinger made a surprise birthday party for her sister Marlene Lutes on her 70th birthday. There was quite a large attendance. It was held at Jabbr’s restaurant here in Bowman. There were quite a few relatives and friends that were there. Marlene was really surprised. I can never forget the day that Marlene was born. It was on the day the Japanese surrendered and the war was over. At about five o’clock the news was reported and everyone dropped what they were doing and went to town, a lot of commotion. People were hollering and screaming as everyone

was so happy because the war was over. Marlene’s Grandpa K. wanted us to name her Victoria Jane, but I had already two cousins named Victoria. Things are moving right along here preparing the ground and other things before they start on the new hospital. They have cut several big trees down and it looks a little empty compared to what I looked like before. Some are working inside and some outside. Now there are only two entrances on the east. Time sure does fly! I cannot believe that school starts next week. Summer has surely gone by fast.

OPINION
SKOL!: The Vikings Vine The second of five preseason games is in the books. While Minnesota beat the Buccaneers 2616, the Vikings really took a loss with a season-ending injury to a key piece in the Vikings’ plans for the 2015 season. There were a few good performances from the Vikings’ starters, including Teddy Bridgewater who went seven of eight for 86 yards and was fully in command of the offense yet again. His lone miss was a deep throw to Mike Wallace in the end zone, but it was a decent throw and placed where only Wallace could get it. Tight end Kyle Rudolph had another game where he looked back to his old form, catching two passes for 24 yards and earning Pro Football Focus’ high-
By Jordan Wright
est grade for a Vikings player in the game. So far this preseason, Rudolph has caught four passes, and all four have gone for a first down. Stefon Diggs continues to impress. He looks great returning punts, and is steadily putting pressure on both Marcus Sherels and Adam Theilen. Sherels is battling to be the sixth cornerback, and he might have the easiest route to a roster spot because Josh Robinson is hurt and Jabari Price will be suspended the first
two games of the season. Theilen, a Minnesota native, is a long shot to make the roster, mainly due to the Vikings having a lot of options at receiver. The big story of the night was the seasonending achilles tear to Phil Loadholt. Loadholt was the anchor on the right side and one of the few positions along the line that didn’t have a question mark surrounding it. Last season when Loadholt went down with a pectoral injury, Mike Harris stepped in and played well. Harris could be an option again this year, but the Vikings have been playing him at right guard after shifting Brandon Fusco to the left side. No matter what the Vikings decide to do there will be a lot of trial and error this
year. The silver lining here is that the injury happened early in preseason, leaving the Vikings a couple weeks to figure out the offensive line before the regular season starts. After Loadholt’s injury, I had numerous people ask me on twitter what the chances were of the Vikings bringing in free agent Evan Mathis, PFF’s second highest rated offensive guard last season. I think bringing in Mathis would be a great idea as he could slide into the left guard spot, returning Brandon Fusco to his familiar right guard spot and really solidify the offensive line. Looking ahead, the Vikings play the Oakland Raiders on Saturday, August 22, and there are three things I will be
watching. The first and most important thing is how the Vikings assemble their offensive line. It will be interesting to see what combinations are tried, which ones work and which ones don’t. Another thing I will be looking for is the progression of first round cornerback Trae Waynes. Waynes made improvements from his first game to his second, and I will be watching to see if that trend continues. The last thing I will be watching is the battle for the open safety spot. Robert Blanton has been playing well, while both Andrew Sendejo and Shaun Prater are making a case for more playing time. A dark horse candidate to keep an eye
on is Antone Exum, who had a fumble recovery last week and an interception this week against Jameis Winston. Also, remember Christian Ponder? The Vikings’ former quarterback is now the back up in Oakland, so we will get to see a lot of him in this upcoming game. Even though Ponder was not the answer at quarterback in Minnesota, he was a very likable person and I hope he gets a warm reception in his first game back in Minnesota, even though he’ll be wearing the enemy’s jersey. And as always, if you have any questions or comments, I encourage you to reach out to me on Twitter (@SkolJWright) or on Facebook (facebook. com/skoljwright).
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.

■■ 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.
