Previous Bowman Sales owner dies at 85 Patterson remembered as hardworking, community advocate

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

If you purchased a vehicle from Bowman Sales and Service in 1961 to 1989 there’s a good chance you knew Eldon Patterson — or more commonly by his nickname, Bus. Cars and trucks played a large role in Bus’s life. He worked part-time throughout school at the Bowman Ford dealership, switched to full-time after graduating from Bowman High School and then became its owner, along with his brother-in-law, several years later. The Bowman resident and active community member died July 28 in Bismarck at the age of 85 from complications of Stage IV lung cancer combined with heart troubles. He was a man described by his loved ones as reserved yet deeply caring, well liked, and a successful businessman with an incredible memory. Troubles with math homework brought Debbie Patterson and her future father-in-law together. She would marry Bus’s only son, Bert, years later but first met Bus while a sophomore in high school. A self-described average student in math, Debbie was working on homework with Bert one night and when he couldn’t help any further, he summoned his father. “It was a little scary, but funny,” Debbie said with a smile. She shared that story Tuesday night at Bus’s visitation. Eldon Patterson was born May 27, 1931 in Bowman. He would later earn

Two ordinances presented to the Bowman City Commission this week were adopted with a unanimous vote from commissioners. The first ordinance discussed by the commission during its regular meeting Tuesday dealt with the obstruction of city storm sewers. Following passage of the ordinance, it is now against municipal code to place grass clippings, leaves or other vegetation onto any Bowman city street or other drainage into the city’s storm sewer system, according to the ordinance. Any person who violates, disobeys, neglects, omits, tries willfully to circumvent the intent of the ordinance or resists the enforcement of any of its provisions shall be guilty of an infraction, as stated in the ordinance. The second ordinance that passed has changed the zoning of the new industrial park. More than 210 acres were requested to be brought into city limits and to add necessary amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan

that would add a new land use designation. The former land use designations for that land did not conform to state requirements. Instead, Bowman Zoning Administrator Cheryl Ryan said a special planning area designation would need to be added. That allows for a range of land uses at the site including commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential instead of strictly commercial or industrial. While the ability to create residential zones on the land would exist, it doesn’t mean that it would necessarily occur, according to Teran Doerr, executive director of the Bowman County Development Corp. It was suggested at previous meetings on the industrial park that constructing residences at the site would not be a wise decision considering the poor quality soil. The city’s zoning commission, comprised of Darwin Wilke, Barry Mason, Warren Flath, Carole Vail and City Commissioner Chuck Whitney, held a vote in June that the matter would advance to the city commission for approval.

No deal reached in Parra case, now heads to trial By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

A plea agreement in the Jovani Parra felony case has not been reached meaning it will now move on to trial later this year. Bowman County State's Attorney Stephanie Pretzer told The Pioneer on Tuesday, following Parra’s pretrial hearing in Dickinson, that neither side reached a deal in the gross sexual imposition case. The short hearing was held to ensure both sides, including Parra’s attorney John Bruhn of Dickinson, were “on the same page” concerning the case moving forward. Another continuance was requested on Bruhn’s behalf due to scheduling conflicts. Pretzer said the court is seeking an appropriate date to hold the felony jury trial but it is likely to occur sometime in October. A separate charge against Parra, a Class B misdemeanor for carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, will also head to a jury trial. Pretzer said that could be sometime in late August. That charge

PARRA could not be combined into his felony case since the incidences were unrelated, according to the state’s attorney. Parra was arrested last year by police in Bowman. He was charged with two Class A felony counts of gross sexual imposition of a minor and one Class C felony count of luring minors by computer. Gross sexual imposition is punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment, a $10,000 fine, or both. Luring minors by computer or electronic means is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment, a $10,000 fine, or both.

IN BRIEF

Cloud seeding Week 8 update Thunderstorms during the middle and latter parts of last week provided beneficial rains to southwestern North Dakota. In the District 1 operations area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP), which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted operational flights on July 27, 28, and 31. Including purposes of hail suppression, rain enhancement, and repositioning, seven flights were flown by the two project aircraft. An upper level low pressure system will move out of North Dakota today and result in calmer conditions. Zonal west to east upper level flow is forecast to continue. Two main storm systems could bring thunderstorms to southwestern North Dakota, one arriving this Wednesday and the other next Sunday. Normal, early August high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s will prevail. 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.tions area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP), which includes Bowman.

DUI patrols in June result in 118 arrests, citations Law enforcement patrols across the state worked more than 1,030 overtime hours for the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign during the month of June. These extra patrols resulted in 933 traffic stops across North Dakota with 118 arrests and/or citations being alcohol or drug-related. These numbers reflect the totals reported from 36 of the participating law enforcement agencies, including the North Dakota Highway Patrol. A total of 564 citations were attributed to the added patrols with 69 citations accounting for driving under the influence (DUI) arrests or refusal of a test. There were another 24 arrests or citations for other alcohol-related violations and 25 drug-related arrests. Tickets for speeding were the largest segment of the citations at 197. The traffic stops also resulted in three felony violation arrests. Funding for additional traffic safety enforcement is provided by federal grant money distributed through the North Dakota Department of Transportation. High-visibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of an allied effort to save lives by preventing motor vehicle deaths in North Dakota.

Pioneer bringing open-air market this month to Bowman By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Who doesn’t love fresh produce? Or finding a great deal on a unique craft for the home? The Bowman County Pioneer is bringing these two things together later this month, while helping to further meld the community. Our idea to create an open air market in Bowman — the Prairie Pioneer Open Air Market as we are calling our upcoming event — has already received positive feedback; it is obvious people are keen to the idea. It will provide the best of both worlds to people wanting fresh, local produce but also those who seek handmade crafts or antique treasures. The concept of an openair market has been around for centuries and exist worldwide. Like ours, they typically consist of booths, tables or stands, and are commonly held outdoors, where sellers offer fruits, vegetables, meats, and sometimes prepared foods and beverages, which is the basis of a farmers market. Our event, however, also incorporates flea market vendors that will of-

BUS

FROM PAGE 1

Bus’s granddaughter, Anika Schaff of Bismarck, credited Bus and Crocker with helping to build Bowman Sales into what it is today, one of the largest businesses in the region. Though it had competition from a Chevrolet dealer for many years, Bowman Sales stayed strong, at one point being one of the largest auto parts dealers in the Upper Midwest. Wayne Bergquist, Leo Heinrich and Patrick Rafferty purchased the dealership in May 1989. Bus stayed on for three months through the transition. “I always liked Bus,” said Bergquist, who was a pallbearer at Bus’s funeral. “There’s no replacement for experience.” Bus was the type of man that handled himself professionally and would always take care of his customers, Bergquist said, adding that the fine customer service

fer new and used items ranging from traditional household objects to distinctive, fantastic crafts. The idea for this event was derived from the need of increased activity in our small town. We at the Bowman County Pioneer maintain a strong desire to help better our community and bring together its people. Since Bowman hasn’t had a market in the past several years, and the timing was right, we decided to offer this event for the public. Its benefits extend beyond a simple place to purchase goods. Our event offers growers increased profit over selling to wholesalers, food processors or large grocery firms since the middlemen are locked out of the chain. The local growers have the opportunity to sell directly to consumers. Growers may also retain profit on produce not sold to consumers, by selling the excess to canneries and other food-processing firms. At the market, growers can retain the full premium for part of their produce, instead of only a processor’s wholesale price for the entire lot.

To communities the benefits are also bountiful. Such events maintain important social ties, potentially linking rural and urban populations and even close neighbors in mutually rewarding exchange. They also generate traffic for nearby businesses, which is crucial for Bowman County’s Main Streets. Buying at markets also encourages attention to the surrounding area and ongoing activities. By providing outlets for local products, farmers markets help create distinction and uniqueness, which can increase pride and encourage visitors to return. A manager of the McClintock Fountains Farmers Market in Tempe, Ariz., reported that 90 percent of the money gained at open-air markets stays in the community. This money also stays in the community longer than money that supports larger corporations. According to research conducted by the USDA, farmers markets may also “contribute to innovative distribution means that strengthen civic engagement by reducing the social distances between urban and rural communities.”

With fewer intermediaries, the support of independent growers by local community members can enhance local economic opportunities. Consumers often favor farmers markets for fresher, more seasonal and healthier foods. The organization Farmers Markets of America has stated that customers drawn to farmers markets shop locally for three main reasons: food quality, better prices, and a great social atmosphere. We look to this event as an opportunity for Bowman to continue its growth and to encourage a positive atmosphere for enhancing community relations. We're confident that once people see what we’ve created they'll continue to come back over the summer and fall months, year after year. The Prairie Pioneer Open Air Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 27 and 28 in the Bowman City Park, located one block west of Highway 85 on the south side of Divide Street. Those interested in selling items at the market should contact The Bowman County Pioneer at 701-523-5623 by Aug. 19 to reserve your space.

was sort of his trademark. Crocker handled the parts department while Bus sold vehicles. He could recite a vehicle’s VIN number from memory, not an easy feat. Aside from his work at the Ford garage Bus also made a name for himself around the area as a community advocate; he loved his hometown of Bowman, according to his daughter-in-law. He served as a Bowman County Commissioner for 12 years and held various posts around town, including serving as Grand Master of the local Masons. Together with his wife, Zona, he raised five children, Bert, Karla, Janet, Candy and Dinah. But there was heartbreak when Dinah was killed in 1983 at age 30. “It took a big toll on his life,” Debbie commented. “It was really, truly so hard for him.” He divorced Zona a few years later after a period of separation.

At that time he met Linda Martin and the whole family would soon after spend holidays together. The two never married but Bus considered Linda his “soul mate,” according to Debbie. He remained active throughout the community and especially in his children’s and grandchildren’s lives. Schaff, 36, remembered how her grandfather was when she would visit as a child. “There was an old Coke machine at (Bowman Sales) and every time we visited, he would give us one,” she recalled with a laugh. “He would also let us drive his golf cart at the golf course.” Bus’s stories, which apparently were often fabricated or exaggerated, were a hit with the frequent patrons of the former Crystal Bar in Bowman where Bus would spend a lot of time with friends. One of his biggest loves in life was sports, particularly baseball. He played on the Bowman Blue Sox baseball team throughout his youth and he was asked to throw out the first pitch when the Blue Sox team was restarted years ago in Bowman. Schaff found it interesting when she discovered her

grandfather was a pitcher and her uncle, Bert, was a pitcher because that’s her position whenever she plays. Those memories were rehashed this week as the family met in Bowman to celebrate his life and offer a final farewell. Bus passed away with his daughter by his side. After his son Bert’s death from cancer in 2013, Bus experienced a series of heart problems and a stroke. He was most recently diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer and received hospice care. Debbie said it was in Bus’s final years when he seemed to open up the most; he was typically reserved and didn’t often show affection, but he still had great charisma. “I always said Bert’s charisma came from his father,” she explained. “They could both make people laugh and made them feel comfortable.” Both were liked and respected in Bowman, she said. After the death of her beloved husband from cancer, Debbie said it was then she grew closer to Bus and “grew to love him more.” He always praised her to others as a sincerely special person. “I will miss him,” she said simply.

Fun in the (hot) sun: Summerfest thrills for another year

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

This year wasn’t too shabby for Summerfest, Bowman’s biggest downtown summer event. Together with a full day of other events like garage sales, a car show that packed in a whole city block and a monster sized show of engine power at the airport, Bowman was once again the place to be for the last weekend in July. “It’s a nice way for people to come downtown,” said Jennifer Jahner, cochairperson of the annual Summerfest, which is presented by the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce. The event is about attracting people to the city’s downtown retailers and providing a fun summer day for the community to interact, Jahner indicated. Each year the three-onthree basketball tournament during Summerfest attracts area youths. More than 30 teams battled it out across the courts throughout downtown. This year the number of teams, Jahner said, was on the high average compared with previous years. Individuals and families also weathered the hot, sunny day on July 30 for the inflatable water slides, children’s games, sidewalk sales, fundraising booths, dunk tank and food. One of the biggest parts of the daylong event was the Rib Cook Off, held this year in front of Windy’s Bar & Pizza near the south end of Main Street. Becky Brooks, cochairperson for the event, said more than 475 people attended and were fed from the multiple cooks competing to serve the best ribs. Brett Dustin of Dickinson captured first place, with Justin Storlie of Bowman in second and Ole Goldberg of Sentinel Butte in third. “It was about what we were hoping for,” Brooks said of the attendance. Jahner said the many volunteers helped make the event possible this year, along with the help from the city’s police and fire departments. “We had a great group of volunteers,” she said. She said that, for each year’s Summerfest, the committee seeks to add something new, to attract even more people to downtown. It would be nice to see additional Chamber businesses involved to help fill up Main Street from its north to south end. Mostly, Jahner said, she enjoys being able to bring things that are fun for local families on the typically hot summer day of Summerfest in Bowman.

Goat tying competition Ty Tuff rocks Bowman If goat tying or breakaway roping is your forte, then the place to be on July 30 was at the Dakota Winds Arena in Bowman for the Ty Tuff Challenge. It was a beautiful July day filled with great people, sizzling talent, and great sponsors for the 4th annual event. Goat tiers and ropers of all ages spilled into the rodeo grounds early Sunday morning. 85 goat tiers and 80 ropers from twelve states were entered hopeful of taking home a morsel of the $22,000 up for grabs in cash and prizes. Coordinators, Deb Gunderson, Kayla Nelson and Stacy McGee once again added a couple new spins to the competition by adding a short round to the 4D goat tying competition and going live on Facebook for the short round. Announcer Jim Thompson of Sturgis, S.D., goat contractor John Hight, Dupree, S.D., judges Chad Nelson, Buffalo, S.D., Lyle Gjermundson, Marshall, and the entire Ty Tuff team kept the action moving rapidly throughout the day. Action started at 9 a.m. Saturday morning with 43 open breakaway ropers. Payout was to seventh

Janelle Fitterer, and area businesses to donate included Slope Electric, NextEra, and Slope County Farmers Fair Association. The money will be used for 20 gauge shotguns, ammunition, a trap thrower, and archery equipment. According to Slope County Extension Agent Shelby Hewson, this is the first time funds from More For Everyone have been awarded to a youth organization. Fitterer and her husband Doug—local canola producers and parents of 4H kids—applied to the

program, in hopes of landing some of the $50,000 the program donates each year. The 4H club was notified by a representative from the organization, Mike Hilstrom, that they had been chosen. The money was presented during a reception at the Slope County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, Aug. 3. The shooting sports club began this year, and though there are many areas of shooting disciplines available, the group will focus on archery and trap shooting. Kids as young as eight can participate in the archery and kids as young as 11 years old can participate in the trap shooting. Each discipline has two divisions based on age, a junior division and senior division for trap shooting and beg and senior divisions for the archery discipline. Hewson said the group holds practices on Wednesdays and that they can have up to 20 kids at practice. The state shooting competition begins on Aug. 12 and some of the kids will be participating. She said the group has yet to begin archery practice, that will start this fall.

Beware of fraud

Even though many of us have the new chip-embedded credit cards in our wallets, don’t let your guard down over credit card fraud. Instead of duplicating a credit card, scammers use stolen Social Security numbers and other sensitive data to open a fraudulent credit card account in your name. Here are a few tips to protect yourself: 1. Freeze your credit. A security freeze means that your credit file cannot be shared with potential creditors. Most businesses will not open credit accounts without first checking a consumer’s credit history. If your credit files are frozen, even someone who has stolen your name and Social Security number would probably not be able to get credit in your name. For North Dakotans, it costs $15 total to place a freeze with all three credit reporting agencies. 2. Secure your mobile devices. If your financial life is on a smartphone or tablet, be sure your device is locked and requires a passcode to access. Apply software updates as soon as they become available to fix known vulnerabilities. Use security features built into devices that encrypt data and delete contents if your device is lost or stolen. 3. Use strong passwords. A password manager is a convenient way to create and maintain good password practices. Then you won’t have to write down hard-toremember passwords, which places them at risk of being stolen. 4. Sign up for bank account alerts. Offered by banks, credit card issuers and others, these free notifications, by email or text message, provide you with real-time alerts of suspicious activity. 5. Take data breach notifications seriously. We periodically hear about data breaches at retailers; however, the biggest jump in breaches was at government agencies.

Baesler: First draft of new math, English standards ready State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler said two groups of North Dakota educators have almost completed their initial draft of new math and English content standards for the state’s public school classrooms. Thirty-eight North Dakota math teaching experts and 33 English and language arts experts have been crafting improvements to the state’s present standards, Baesler said. The two committees include members from across the state, representing schools both large and small, rural and urban, the superintendent said. Both the math and English standards committees are divided into four groups, covering grades kindergarten through 2, 3 through 5, 6 through 8 and 9 through 12. The committees are meeting in Bismarck Thursday and Friday to finish the first drafts of North Dakota’s English and math standards. Once their work is completed, the drafts will be submitted to three separate review committees, made up of elected officials, business and industry leaders, and parents and citizens. Once the review committees finish their examination, the proposed standards will be posted for public comment. The teachers who are writing the standards will consider the public comments and the work of the review committees in writing subsequent drafts. The new standards will go through at least three drafts before they are completed in March or April of 2017. North Dakotans will have at least two opportunities to

comment on the new standards, Baesler said. The state’s present math and English standards were adopted in July 2011, after a nine-month review by committees of North Dakota math and English teachers and an independent analysis by the Department of Public Instruction. The standards are normally reviewed every five to seven years. Baesler said the new math and English standards will take effect in North Dakota classrooms at the start of the 2017-18 school year. The members of the standards committees applied for the positions, and their applications were formally reviewed and ranked. Teachers were asked to detail their experience in standards and curriculum development, outline the instructional strategies that they use in classrooms, and describe previous committee work. Candidates were required to include a letter of support from a supervisor. Baesler said she did not know who applied and was not involved in the screening process.

Amidon woman finishes in Montana shoot The 25th Annual Matthew Quigley Shoot was held Father’s Day weekend, June 18-19th on the Al Lee ranch 10 miles north of Forsyth, Montana with a new record of 697 shooters. There were 14 international shooters from Canada, Germany, England and Australia. There are 8 shots at 6 targets at a range of 350 yards to 800 yards, 5 targets off cross sticks, 1 target off hand at 350 yards, 32”x26” target.

Musings from Main Street

Foreign exchanges

Mon Français est un peu rouillé mais je sais comment parler et écrire en Français… comme ci comme ça. In English that reads my French is a bit rusty, but I know how to speak and write it. Knowing how to communicate that phrase was important when introducing myself to our foreign exchange By BRYCE MARTIN student. He’s 16 years old and Pioneer Editor hails from a small village in southwest France. Yes, Nate and I decided to host an exchange student for this school year. We are in the process of looking to adopt a child so this should give us some insight into what it’s like to be a parent... Well, except this is a different world I’m told. It’s a teenager. Big difference. Jérémy will arrive Aug. 25, his first voyage to the United States, and is making his home with us in Bowman. We’re nervous but so is he, as he explained. He has to leave his home, his family and friends to travel to a foreign country. Since Nate and I are pretty active in the community, we’re hoping Jérémy is too. We’re also hoping that he’ll be interested in playing sports and joining other school organizations. We already know he has quite an affinity for rugby and playing the guitar. He sounds like a solid student and described himself as mature and responsible. When I was 18, I spent a little more than a month in Russia, then spent some time in London and Paris before returning home. I know what it’s like to leave home for an unknown place, thrown into a new culture. But he’s making his trip alone; I was with a group of students from my university. Being overseas changed my life. I came out of my shell — I used to be painfully shy — and, yes, picked up some bad habits, but it widened my eyes to the world. I made new, lasting friendships and did so many things to bring myself out of my comfort zone. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. It’s been 10 years and I still cherish every moment. I hope that’s how Jérémy’s experience will go, except for the bad habits. I wouldn’t want his parents calling and yelling at me in French. While I’m relatively comfortable around children — I’m pretty good at making them laugh and keeping them entertained — it’s quite different than actually living with one and taking care of one. I want to be fun and give him a good experience over here but at the same time I have to be nurturing and provide structure. I have to be a parent, not a friend, as a friend of mine kindly put it. Mostly I’m excited of the relationships he’ll build here. We have the nicest people and I’m eager for him to meet many of you. He seems pretty outgoing so I’m sure he’ll quickly make friends. Still, opening my home to a stranger, a foreign stranger, a 16-year-old foreign stranger, is new to me. I’m a very sociable person but I understand there are some things you can’t do with or ways not to act around youth. It’s going to be a learning experience for all three of us. Nate likes to sometimes say (usually when I’m annoying him) that I’m like a kid, a 28-year-old kid. But why does that have to be such a bad thing? I like to have fun, yes, and I like to act silly and sometimes immature but I’m professional and serious when I need to be, sometimes more so than Nate (thinks he) is. Thinking about my time as a child makes me feel old. I never felt like that before. It’s a bit unsettling. It never really sunk in that I would one day be labeled a Yes, every some 900,000 barrels of oil are while he stays father.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bowman’s Cedar Chest celebrates 40 years

On July 28 the Cedar Chest in Bowman celebrated 40 years in business. This is a great accomplishment for any business, even more so for the Cedar Chest, which is run strictly on donations and almost 100 percent volunteer labor. We provide a great service to the community and donate to several organizations in the area. Our faithful

t occurred to me while on vacation that we see towns through the eyes of what we need in our lives. A life filter, if you will. As we were driving into Grand Forks from Turtle River State Park (located just 22 miles west of Forks), I realized as a mother of a 10-year old I didn’t know where any of the parks were, which ones were shady, what type of equipment they had, etc. For 24 years of my life, I lived within an hour of Grand Forks and even lived in town for a couple years. Yet, I needed to consult with my in-laws to learn the scoop on the park situation. Growing up, going to town was usually for doctor’s appointments, stocking up on groceries, and school shopping. It didn’t happen very often. Then as a college student, I’d learn the best route from home to campus to work and back home again. I was never the type to explore the town just for fun. I was happy knowing the basics. We all see towns through our own life filters. Some

may take stalk in how many bars there are, which churches are available, if there’s somewhere to work out, what programs are offered through the school, if there’s a hospital, and so forth and so on. As a parent of a nonsporty son, my filters are probably somewhat different than yours. You and your family may just be honed into sporting opportunities. Some of you may no longer have children in the school system and are not in tune with what young families are seeking. I am probably not aware of the services the hospital and clinics provide. In last week’s paper, Bryce ran a story that stated Bowman made the Top 10 list of

best places to live in North Dakota. I have lived in four of those Top 10 towns. Add seven more towns and four states and I have developed my own sense of what I like to see from a town. However, each town I’ve lived in was because it was where I was raised, chosen for college, or it’s just where the work led us. I have never picked a town solely on what it had to offer. Let me share a few of my favorite things that I like about Bowman. Hands down, Bowman has the best library of any small town I have ever lived in. I appreciate the restaurant options we have. I absolutely love that our school is one big campus as high schoolers and elementary kids can learn a lot from one another. I like our downtown. Super adore our movie theatre and free popcorn Sundays IF you bring your own bag/container. And for us who melt in the heat, I love our shady city park and enjoy the outdoor pool (although I need to inquire about umbrellas along the deck…do we need

a fundraiser?). But what do I miss? I miss wallyball, racquetball, recycling, being near a university (as in less than 45 miles away), bike paths that cover most of the town, sidewalks, in-town bus routes, concerts in the park, and outdoor movie nights. What would I like? I’d like to try Frisbee golf! Wouldn’t it be fabulous if we had a swim team? More educational clubs for kids. And if the sky is the limit, how about indoor trampolines and inflatables?? After calling Bowman home for over six years (did I mention that’s the longest I’ve lived anywhere other than my childhood home?), I do love it here. I don’t know if I’ll ever be considered anything other than a transplant, but this is my home, too. I hope when we look into improving Bowman, we take off our life filters and truly see opportunities with an open mind. (Yes, I’m talking to myself, too.) Build it and they will come, they say. I’m not giving up on a super duper recreational center.

know, the ones my age. All they want to do is talk about their grandkids! And show me pictures of their grandkids. I think some of them actually think their grandkids are as beautiful and as smart as mine! Imagine! But as long as you brought it up, I’ll tell you a little about one of mine. Slate is our youngest grandchild. He just turned three. If you’ve been around the cattle sales at Dickinson, you’ve seen him with me quite a lot. His brothers are school age and his parents work. So on many Thursdays I have the opportunity to spend time with this young cowboy. He likes to take naps. That is one of the fine traits passed down from his grandfather. When we are at the sale, he’ll curl up on my jacket and sleep for a couple hours. When he is at our house, we read a book and then we doze off for 2 or 3 hours. At his house, he tells his mother, “It’s time for my nap. I need my blanket and

a bunny”. The bunnies are not stuffed animals. They are live rabbits. He has to have his blanket and a rabbit to sleep with for his afternoon nap. That’s not too bad. Bunnies are soft and cuddly. His brothers raised a jackrabbit in the house. Jacks are not soft and cuddly. But a couple of days ago, it got worse. He found a toad. A live toad. And it was “his” frog. And the damn frog had to sleep with him. I don’t mind frogs, but I’ve yet to find one that I’ve kissed and it turned into a princess, although when I was in college there was a …Never mind. Now Slate is pretty expressive. If you ask him how the drive was from Reva to Dickinson, he’ll always exclaim, “Goooood”! He’ll always express himself very plainly and really enjoys life. A couple of mornings ago when his dad went riding, Slate was playing with his toad on the couch. Much like the rabbits, the

frog wasn’t really enjoying playtime. When his Dad came in from riding he asked Slate, “How’s your frog doing?” Slate replied, “Good! He’s dead!” Maybe he has spent too much time with Grandpa. He’s not potty trained yet. Much like his grandpa. A couple of days ago, after his mother got off work, we were setting at the kitchen counter having coffee. Slate came walking by, looked up, and stated, “Mom, I need another diaper!” I think it’s time to use the toilet.

Eldon D. ‘Bus’ Patterson, 85 Eldon D. “Bus” Patterson, 85, of Bowman passed away on Thursday, July 28, 2016 at his daughters Karla and Monty’s home on Hospice care in Bismarck. Funeral Services for Bus were on Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2016 at 1 p.m. at the Bowman Lutheran Church. Pastor Mark Nygard will officiate with burial to follow in the Bowman Cemetery. Visitation for Bus was from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2016 at the Krebsbach Funeral Home Chapel with the family being present around 7 p.m. Eldon “Bus” D. Patterson was born on May 27, 1931 in Bowman, the son of Bert H. and Myrtle (Thompson) Patterson, the seventh of nine children. He graduated from Bowman High School in 1949. He worked for his father at the Ford Garage part time growing up and continued his employment there after graduation, albeit fulltime then. He married Zona Brown Patterson in 1950 and they later divorced in 1982. Five children were born to this union. Bus and his brother-in-law, L.D. Crocker, purchased the car dealership from his dad, Bert H. in 1961. They owned and operated Bowman Sales and Services until his retirement in 1989 at which time the business was sold. Bus was a very proud father. He remained active and involved in his children’s lives, cheering on their accomplishments, comforting broken hearts, teaching important lessons and often helping with his children’s needs. When they were young, he would place a chair in the hallway between all of the bedrooms and sing them to sleep at night. Car trips, long and short, were almost always spent singing together. Bus’ stories (often fabricated, always exaggerated) would cause his young childrens’ tears to flow and they would sob over how sad the stories were; so therefore, his childhood was sad. As each child got older and realized those stories weren’t real, or at least not completely true, each kept silent until all knew his secret. He enjoyed poetry and read for himself and also read to his family. He delighted in each new grandchild and great grand-

child and continued with songs and games with them as they have grown. Bus was a well liked, well respected businessman in the community. He remembered names and places always and could recite a vehicles VIN number from memory, correctly each time he sold a car or pick up. He had a ready smile, often a joke or story to share and a firm handshake. He was active in community and civic affairs. He was a life-long member of Bowman Lutheran Church. Bus was also a member of Masons for many years. He enjoyed the brotherhood of this organization and fulfilled each of his roles, including Grand Master faithfully.

PATTERSON He was a Bowman County Commissioner for 12 years. It was a position he was proud to have been elected to for 3 terms and a responsibility he took very seriously. He knew and understood the people and the needs of Bowman County. Sports were always an important and large part of his life. As a high school athlete, he was an outstanding basketball player but baseball was always his 1st love. He treasured his memories of playing on a Bowman Blue Sox team that included is father and all 3 of his brothers.

He remained a NY Yankees fan and Minnesota Vikings fan until his death. Traveling was an important part of his life. When his children were very young, he always arranged a long vacation and several short ones each year until they were grown. While they often ended up corralling, chasing or direction the children, these trips were a favorite family activity. Bus also enjoyed many trips with Linda Martin, his soul mate of 45 years. When she purchased a condo in Bismarck, he left Bowman and moved with her. They were able to spend 2 winters in Arizona together and Bus loved being a “Snow Bird”. As his health failed, he was unable to accompany her south so he resided at Sunny Home Apartments for the winter.

GAME AND FISH NEWS 2016 Waterfowl Regulations set

North Dakota’s 2016 waterfowl season is set, with the season framework similar to last year. Opening day for North Dakota residents is Sept. 24 for ducks, geese, coots and mergansers. Nonresidents may begin hunting waterfowl in North Dakota Oct. 1. The season for swans opens Oct. 1 for both residents and nonresidents. Hunters may take six ducks per day with the following restrictions: five mallards of which two may be hens, three wood ducks, three scaup, two redheads, two pintails and two canvasbacks. Similar to last year, hunters can take an additional two blue-winged teal from Sept. 24 through Oct. 9. The daily limit of five mergansers may include no more than two hooded mergansers. For ducks and mergansers, the possession limit is three times the daily limit. The hunting season for Canada geese in the Missouri River zone will close Dec. 30, while the remainder of the state will close Dec. 22. The season for whitefronts closes Dec. 4, while the season on light geese is open through Jan. 1, 2017. Shooting hours for all geese are one-half hour before sunrise to 1 p.m. each day through Nov. 5. Beginning Nov. 6, shooting hours are extended until 2 p.m. each day. Extended shooting hours for all geese are permitted from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset on Saturdays and Wednesdays through Nov. 23, and on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays from Nov. 24 through the end of each season. The bag limit for Canada geese during the regular season is eight daily and 24 in possession, except in the Missouri River zone where the limit is five daily and 15 in possession. The daily limit on whitefronts is three with nine in

possession, and light goose is 50 daily, with no possession limit. The early Canada goose season will open Aug. 15 and continue through Sept. 15, except in the Missouri River Zone where the season ends Sept. 7. The early Canada goose season has a limit of 15 daily and 45 in possession. The special youth waterfowl hunting season is Sept. 17-18. Legally licensed residents and nonresidents 15 years of age or younger can hunt ducks, coots, mergansers and geese statewide. Youth hunters must have a general game and habitat license and a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate. A licensed adult of at least 18 years of age must accompany the youth hunter into the field. Nonresidents have the option of buying either a statewide waterfowl license or one with zone restrictions. Nonresidents who designate zones 1 or 2 may hunt that zone for only one seven-day period during the season. Nonresident hunters who chose to hunt in zone 1 or 2 and wish to use the full 14 consecutive days allowed, must use the other seven days in zone 3. Hunters in zone 3 can hunt that zone the entire 14 days. In accordance with state law, nonresidents are not allowed to hunt on North Dakota Game and Fish Department wildlife management areas or conservation PLOTS (Private Land Open To Sportsmen) areas from Oct. 8-14. Hunters who do not HIP certify when they buy a North Dakota license, can add it later through the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov, or by calling 888634-4798 and recording the HIP number on their printed license. Those who registered to hunt North Dakota’s spring light goose season or early Canada goose season do not have to register with HIP again, as it is required in each state only once per year.

Hunters should refer to the 2016 North Dakota Waterfowl Hunting Guide for further details on the waterfowl season. Paper copies will be at license vendors in early September.

2016 Small Game and Furbearer Regulations set

North Dakota’s 2016 small game and furbearer regulations are set and most season structures are similar to last year. Notable changes include: The overall harvest limit on mountain lions is reduced from 21 to 15, and the early season limit is reduced from 14 to eight. If the early season ends before the season limit is reached, the season could reopen if the late season limit is reached prior to March 25. The late season limit is seven total lions, or three female lions, whichever comes first. Trappers are no longer required to register with the State Game and Fish Department prior to setting cable devices. Night vision, electronically enhanced light gathering optics and thermal imaging equipment can be used during the portion of the red fox, gray fox and coyote seasons that is open to night hunting (Nov. 21 – March 15). Spotlights or any other artificial lights are still prohibited. Prairie chicken and sage grouse seasons will remain closed due to low populations. In accordance with state law, nonresidents are not allowed to hunt on Game and Fish Department wildlife management areas or conservation PLOTS (Private Land Open To Sportsmen) areas from Oct. 8-14. Hunters should refer to the North Dakota 2016-17 Small Game and Furbearer guides (available mid-August) for more details on small game and furbearer seasons. Printed waterfowl guides will be available in early September.

Scrutinizing linebackers Last week we took a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive tackle depth chart. If you happened to miss the article, you can find it on my Facebook page through the web address that’s listed below. The Minnesota Vikings’ linebacker depth chart is stronger than it has been in recent decades. The Vikings have had some very good LBs in the past, from Jack Del Rio and Ed McDaniel in the 1990s to E.J. Henderson in the 2000s. However, when it’s all said and done, this group may be the best to ever don the purple and gold. Starters: Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks, Chad Greenway Anthony Barr was selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft. Most Vikings fans, myself included, were surprised at the selection. Luckily for us, Barr has turned out to be a fantastic selection under the tutelage of Mike Zimmer. After the 2015 season, Barr made the Pro Bowl, which will likely be the first of many. Pro Football Focus gave Barr a player grade of 93.4 as well, which was good for second best of any LB in the league. “He has the potential to be the best linebacker to ever play the game, in my eyes,” Adrian Peterson about Anthony Barr on NFL Network.

The Vikings Vine By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

Eric Kendricks is from the same college as Barr (UCLA) and was a second round draft pick in 2015. Even though he is on the smaller side for a LB, Kendricks makes up for it with his instincts and technique. Despite only starting 11 games in his debut season, Kendricks led the Vikings in tackles and was fifth on the team with four sacks. PFF gave him a player grade of 58.9, good for 56th (out of 97 qualifying LBs). Already an above-average LB who is stout against the run and able to impressively stack and shed blockers, Kendricks will have to improve his coverage before he is considered great. Chad Greenway is entering the final year of his career after re-signing with the only team he’s ever known this past off-season. Already third on the Vikings’ career tackle list, Greenway (735) only needs three tackles to overtake Chris Doleman for second and 37 to surpass

Early Canada Goose season announced

North Dakota’s early Canada goose season is set, and bag limits and licensing requirements are the same as last year. The season will open Aug. 15 and continue through Sept. 15, except in the Missouri River Zone where the season ends Sept. 7. The early Canada goose season has a limit of 15 daily and 45 in possession. Limits and shooting hours for the early season are different from the regular season. Shooting hours during the early season are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset daily. Residents need a $5 early Canada goose license and a general game and habitat license. Also, residents age 16 and older need a small game license. Nonresidents need only a $50 early Canada

goose license, and the license is valid statewide without counting against the 14day regular season license. A federal duck stamp for hunters age 16 and older, and Harvest Information Program certification, are both required beginning Sept. 1. Hunters who do not HIP certify when they buy a North Dakota license, can add it later through the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov, or by calling 888634-4798 and recording the HIP number on their printed license. 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 in each state only once per year. Waterfowl rest areas, closed to hunting during the regular season, are open during the early season. Most land in these rest areas is private, so hunters may need permission to hunt. The early hunting season

is intended to reduce local Canada goose numbers. Despite liberalized regulations the past several years, with longer seasons, large bag limits and expanded shooting hours, the statewide population remains high, with numbers well above population goals. For additional information and regulations, hunters should refer to the Game and Fish Department website.

Swan hunt application available online

The online application for North Dakota’s 2016 tundra swan license lottery is available on the State Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. The deadline for applying is Aug. 17. Paper applications are also available from license vendors, or by calling 800-4066409. A service fee is added for license applications made by phone.

Carl Lee for first. Backups: Audie Cole, Kentrell Brothers, Emmanuel Lamur Audie Cole has been with the Vikings since 2012, and just signed a one-year contract to remain in Minnesota. Cole was only on the field for 38 defensive snaps last year, and there is only $40,000 in guaranteed money on his contract, so it’s entirely possible he is replaced by a younger player with more upside. Kentrell Brothers was drafted in the fifth round of the most recent draft. Mark Dulgerian of NFL Network had the following to say about him after the draft: “Brothers was a production machine at Missouri thanks to his high football IQ & reactionary quickness. He’s a solid addition to one of the NFL’s best linebacker crews and has exciting long term upside.” Emmanuel Lamur was a priority signing by Mike Zimmer and the Vikings this past off-season. After spending his last three seasons in Cincinnati, Lamur will likely be the primary backup LB in Minnesota. On the bubble: Jake Ganus, Edmond Robinson, Brandon Watts Last season, the Vikings kept 6 linebackers on the opening day roster, and that will probably be the case again this year.

Spotlight on Economics: Biocoal Biocoal could present a viable pathway to sustainable coal-based power

By AARON DELAPORTE Special to The Pioneer

Coal: It keeps your lights on at night and drives away the darkness, but if you get it at Christmas, it may mean that you were not nice. Throughout modern history, coal has played a very mixed role. It is an undeniable source of condensed energy, processed by Mother Nature for millennia, just waiting to be used. At the same time, the black clouds of smog and industrial pollution, implicated in the current climate change crisis, serve as stark reminders that, perhaps, it may have been better to leave that coal alone. Both fortunately and unfortunately, coal is very cheap. It is, literally, energy rocks lounging on (or in) the ground – just add

fire. A ton of coal costs about $40, if you have the right connections. That’s only 2 cents per pound. How many other things can you buy for 2 cents per pound? A pound of bananas costs 50 cents (or $1,000 per ton) on the world market. A ton of wheat will put you back at least $170 (8.5 cents per pound). If you go to Home Depot, a ton of topsoil will cost you $50. Coal is, in some ways, actually cheaper than dirt. This kind of ease of use is challenging for us humans. It’s cheap, it’s easy and it works. Our natural inclination is to pick it up and put it to use. If it’s bad for us in the future, let’s deal with that in the future. Unfortunately, many indications imply that the future is now. Even if we have more time, investments are being made and policy is changing.

Perhaps the most noticeable recent change in policy regarding coal is the Clean Power Plan forwarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In essence, this policy limits the viability of coal-based power throughout the United States. It will be very challenging for coalbased power to meet greenhouse gas emission reduction targets through plant production technologies. Therefore, some other drastic change may be needed. The form of that drastic change may involve alternate coal plant inputs, including a coal additive, such as biocoal, or biochar. Biocoal is a man-made substance that has similar properties to coal, but is sourced from biomass, including from forestry and, perhaps more importantly, agriculture. This makes biocoal much more

sustainable and renewable, compared to conventional coal. Agricultural residues (e.g., wheat straw and corn stover) and dedicated energy crops (e.g., prairie cordgrass and switchgrass) could provide the bulk of the material needed to make biocoal. Specialized facilities to heat and alter the properties of biomass and create biocoal would also be needed. Biocoal, and its associated industry, could create a number of advantages. Farmers would be presented with alternate crops to diversify their revenue, jobs could be created in rural communities and greenhouse gas emissions from coal plants could be reduced. However, there are also a number of difficulties associated with biocoal production. The

foremost is cost. Remember the biggest benefit of coal? It’s cheap – biocoal, likely not so much. The cost of biocoal could be more than twice or three times that of coal. This presents the tradeoff inherent in biocoal production. We trade off the net benefits of a low-cost, high greenhouse gas intensive product (coal) with a high-cost sustainable product (biocoal) to attempt to make coalbased energy viable in the current policy context. Challenges still remain in the creation of a biocoal industry and many questions have yet to be answered. However, biocoal could present a viable pathway to sustainable coal-based power. Stay tuned to find out. DeLaporte is a Research Assistant Professor NDSU Agribusiness and Applied Economics Dept.

Hoeven making sure farmers have access to affordable fertilizer Sen. John Hoeven this week met managers of Central Plains Ag Services and farm group leaders in Hannaford to update them on his work to ensure reliable and convenient access to anhydrous fertilizer for farmers in the 2017 growing season. Last December, the senator introduced and worked to pass legislation in the year-end funding bill preventing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) from implementing a regulation forcing agricultural retail facilities to comply with the same chemical storage requirements as a wholesale facility. This would have caused many retailers to stop selling to farmers at rural locations and threaten to limit the supply of anhydrous ammonia, a nitrogen fertilizer that is critically important to producers. This year, Hoeven has included language in the Senate FY17 Labor-HHS appropriations bill to prevent this from happening in 2017. The legislation passed out of committee by a large bipartisan majority vote. “We stopped the rule from being implemented in Fiscal Year 2016, and we have legislation moving right now that will prevent OSHA’s anhydrous ammonia regulation from being implemented in Fiscal Year 2017,” Hoeven said. “Today

BOWL

I heard over and over again how burdensome this regulation would be for farmers and ag producers like Central Plains Ag Services, but also for consumers who will ultimately foot the bill paying higher food prices. This is already a tough time for farmers because of low commodity prices, and adding even more expenses to their operations would only cause greater financial hardships.” Many rural suppliers have said the OSHA rule would cause them to stop supplying fertilizer, which would create real hardship and ex-

pense for farmers because they would have to travel further to purchase it. In June, the N.D. Department of Agriculture estimated that as a result of OSHA’s policy change, 275 North Dakota agriculture retail facilities would be subject to this more stringent storage regulation, and that the resulting cost of compliance could force nearly 90 of them to shut down. Hoeven has worked on a variety of fronts to stop OSHA’s proposed regulation. He included language in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 and FY17 appropriations bills

prohibiting OSHA from implementing new restrictions on fertilizer sales and requiring OSHA to go through the formal rulemaking process, which would give retailers and farmers a voice in the

decision before OSHA can implement a new regulation. Further, the senator sent a letter to Labor Secretary Thomas Perez earlier this year calling on him to work

through the formal rulemaking process, engage with local stakeholders and respond to the Freedom of Information Act Requests submitted by the North Dakota Department of Ag.

The 11-man game started at 4 p.m. central time and then we played around 7 p.m. Tanner and I both started on defense while I played defensive line and he played cornerback and also was the team punter. It was really eye opening playing against and with kids that are such high caliber athletes. The game was a blast and it was well worth the grueling practices that we endured during the week. Tanner said that he never thought it would be this hard to walk away from a team that we were part of for only a short couple of days. Tanner and I feel it has been a true honor to play as a Night Hawk and represent the Hettinger and Scranton communities. The values and characteristics we have learned as student athletes will carry us through out our life. We would like to thank our parents, coaches, and teammates that have stood behind us for the last six years of athletics. Without all of their support we would not be where we are today. It has been an honor. Neither Tanner nor I will continue our athletic careers at the collegiate level because we have both chosen to go down a different path in life. Tanner will be attending Bismarck State College and I will be attending Dickinson State University.
