City questions ordinance enforcement
Zoning administrator tells commission some ordinances aren’t being enforced By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Bowman’s zoning administrator thinks there’s
a problem with some local ordinances: their enforcement often is wishy-washy and the city ends up looking like it’s being unfair to certain parties. The solution, if there is
one, now rests in the hands of the city commission. Zoning Administrator Cheryl Ryan brought up her concerns Tuesday during the Bowman City Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting. Ryan straightforwardly told commissioners that she believed the city had a problem enforcing ordinances. She specifically
referenced the current city ordinance that regulates inoperable motor vehicle nuisances. Ryan recently noticed in Bowman’s municipal court that some people were given additional time by the judge to clear the reported nuisance and were not issued a citation. Others were. Without hearing both
sides—as Ryan pointed out the explanations play out in the courtroom and not the commissioners’ room during city meetings—it appeared to some that a group of people were being targeted. The current ordinance offers two remedies for such a nuisance; either the vehicles be moved into a closed building or they
be removed from the city limits. Failure to comply could result in a resident being cited into municipal court and potentially face a fine. Ryan struggled with that and wanted to provide a better option, but she admitted there are flaws. One of her ideas was to

Imagine the smiling faces of children being spun into amusement on a Tilt-AWhirl, some older folks recalling their lunches on a Scrambler or a man trying to show off for his loved one in a test of strength on the high striker. Those sights have been absent from the fair in Bowman County for quite some time, much to the disappointment of many. But that’s about to change. Justin Wolbaum, a member of the Bowman County Fair Board, confirmed that several rides were purchased last month by the fair board at a cost of about $6,300. That cost was allocated from the board’s general fund. It was a much lesser expense considering carnivals in the past have requested they be guaranteed a $50,000 minimum for setting up in Bowman, he said. “And (a carnival) is for only two, three days,” Wolbaum added. Instead, the fair board sought something more permanent. Wolbaum said Darwin Wilke, president of the fair board, found a group of carnival rides listed on a South Dakota auction site. He and a large group then headed down to Boondocks Diner & Amusement, a small theme park and diner about nine miles south of Deadwood, S.D., to look at the rides and make an offer. They came back with something they hoped would add to the fair’s annual entertainment. A bullet-type ride, as Wolbaum explained, was purchased, along with a miniature train, for younger children. For the adults, the board purchased three staples to a traditional carnival, a Tilt-a-Whirl, a Scrambler and an Octopus. The Tilt-a-Whirl is a platform-type ride, consisting of freely spinning cars that hold three or four riders, which are attached at fixed pivot points on a rotating platform. As the platform revolves, parts of the platform are raised and lowered, and the resulting forces cause the cars to spin in different directions and at variable speeds. A historical favorite, the Scrambler— a national variation of the twist—has no

FIXING HISTORY
Crew begins work on abandoned Halleck Mine By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net When the Halleck Mine ceased mining operations in 1946, one year after World War II ended, a sizable problem was left that wouldn’t revel itself for several decades. It wasn’t until last year that it was discovered that the coalmine, located north of the city of Bowman, was collapsing. In fact, it had been slowly collapsing for years. It is the job of Joan Breiner to fix what was left to ensure the area is safe. As an environmental scientist with the Abandoned Mine Lands Division of the North Dakota Public Service Commission, Breiner is leading a team in filling voids left in the earth where the underground mine had collapsed. A large portion sank well below the surface.
Forty feet of the coal seam, the amount of space filled with coal, was bored 15 feet, according to an old map of the mine. Breiner refuted those estimates—instead, the spaces were dug closer to 20 feet. That gives more room for the area to collapse. “(They) probably knew it would collapse,” Breiner said of the original mine operators. The problem was seemingly brushed under the rug and left for future generations to fix. Though it wasn’t likely a devious scenario, as she said there was a lack of timber available at that time in history to shore up empty spaces left between the surface and the remaining coal. There is also no bedrock in the area, which can lead to subsidence. That’s an unavoidable flaw in the region’s geology. The mine is situated on a

Weather modification week 9 update
Sturgis, S.D., booms for 75th motorcycle rally
Last week began with thunderstorms and a high wind event associated with the passage of a cold front. The remainder of the week was dry with below normal high temperatures in the upper 60s warming to above normal high temperatures in the low to mid 90s by the weekend. In the District 1 operations area, which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted hail suppression operations on July 27. In all, 3 flights were flown by the two project aircraft. This week begins with dry, seasonal early August weather under the middle of an upper level ridge. The upper ridge shifts eastward by Tuesday allowing numerous disturbances to pass through North Dakota for the remainder of the week. This translates to daily chances for thunderstorms and milder high temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s. 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.
Gas price decline may accelerate in August Nationally, gas prices are falling at the fastest rate since January due to cheaper crude oil costs and the resolution of some refinery issues. According to AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the national average price of gas has dropped for 16 days in row for a total of 11 cents per gallon. Today’s national average price of gas is $2.66 per gallon, which is the lowest average for this time of year since 2009. In North Dakota, the average gas price ended the month where it began at $2.72. To begin July, the statewide average was four cents below the national average. It is currently six cents higher. Nationally, gas averaged $2.75 per gallon in July, the lowest average for the month since 2010. Today’s average gas prices are about 85 cents per gallon less than a year ago. The national average has dropped about 14 cents per gallon since hitting a 2015 high of $2.80 on June 15. The North Dakota gas average for July was $2.73, the lowest average for the month since 2009. One year ago the monthly average was $3.62. Strong fuel demand and refinery problems have kept gas prices higher than would otherwise be expected based on the cost of crude oil. Gasoline demand in July is up about six percent compared to a year ago, based on the latest four-week averages by the Energy Information Agency. Strong gasoline demand can lead to tight supplies, especially if refineries are experiencing problems. Gas prices should continue dropping to catch up with the recent decline in the cost of crude oil, according to AAA. Prices could drop more dramatically after Labor Day as people take fewer road trips and use less gasoline, which could lead to an even larger glut in petroleum supplies. Motorists in many parts of the country could see gasoline near $2 this winter. While the Southeastern and Central United States are the two regions most likely to see a large number of gas stations offering prices around $2 per gallon this winter, some in the southern Red River Valley region of North Dakota and Minnesota could also see prices near that level.

The Bowman County Fair Board recently purchased several carnival rides for permanent use at the fairgrounds. Two popular carnival attractions, a Tilt-a-Whirl, left, and a Scrambler, right, were purchased along with an Octopus, a children’s bullet-type ride, a miniature train ride and strongman towers known as a high striker.

tered voids in the mine and, if that section subsided, it had great potential to affect the road. So Breiner ordered for more extensive drilling. The road, as it curves to the west, travels along the south part of the mine. That road was also in a precarious spot. A series of holes along the mine’s perimeter were dug 10 yards apart, reaching down to voids in the mine, and then pumped with grout, which is a mixture of cementicious grout, fly ash, water and aggregate. A materials tester with the contractor, B & C Concrete Pumping of Williston, checks the strength of the grout by casting cylinders with the material, breaking them and measuring the strength. The desired grout strength is supposed to mimic the coal still in the mine. Filling the holes would prevent any future sinkholes. When crews finish the reclamation, the area will be safer, but there’s still an unknown—a series of power poles belonging to Slope Electric standing atop the sunken mine. Breiner couldn’t comment if those lines would be in jeopardy, though she did say she was surprised they haven’t yet fallen in. After all, it was damage to a public utility line that uncovered the mine’s collapse in the first place. A sinkhole had severed a fiber optic line that crossed in the area and a nearby resident was unable to use their phone. They traced it and discovered the Halleck Mine had collapsed.
A mysterious history
There seems to be an air of mystery surrounding the history of the Halleck Mine. J.D. Halleck of Bowman owned the coalmine in the 1930s. One of the few maps Breiner has of the mine was dated September 1938. According to the map, the mine was surveyed on Sept. 10, 1938. At that time, the mine had 12-foot entries and 20-foot rooms, on average. Breiner also mentioned only one photo of the mine in its heyday could be re-
shape of—you guessed it— an octopus. Five to eight arms attached to a central axis spin and move up and down at random, while cars at the end of the arms spin on rotary bolts. Wolbaum said the board plans to set up the rides in the next month to go through them, paint them and ensure they are ready for next spring when an
insurance company will come out to inspect them. “We’ve always wanted to get a carnival up here,” Wolbaum said. While the board hasn’t formally discussed during which events the rides would be used, Wolbaum said he’d like to see the rides used during other local events, in addition to the fair.
They probably knew it would collapse.
”
- Joan Breiner, environmental scientist located, that piece of history rests with the North Dakota Historical Society. The mine started operation sometime around 1917, though there is not an exact date. It operated mainly for local trade and produced about 2,000 tons per year, according to Breiner. The largest amount produced was 4,600 tons in 1932 and the lowest was 560 in 1917. Prices ranged from $1.75 to $2.50 per ton in the 1920s; $1 to $1.90 in the 1930s and started at $1 in 1940, but jumped to $2.50 per ton by 1944. The mine was closed in 1946. Breiner said a bit of research revealed there was a price fluctuation with coal at that time in history. Still, she couldn’t give a definite answer as to why the mine closed; there was still coal left to mine.
Breiner said the original plan was to fill 2,250 cubic yards of the mine with grout. After discovering certain issues, she said it would likely be around 3,000 cubic yards total. As of Tuesday, crews had pumped 945 cubic yards of grout and discovered two live rattlesnakes, as Breiner playfully pointed out. “We’re not sure if that will finish what Bowman needs, but it will get us close,” Breiner said in January. She still sticks by that comment today.
Scranton, Reeder projects completed It has been a busy summer for Breiner. Over the last few months, she oversaw the completion of two other local mine reclamations, in Scranton and Reeder. About 1,000 cubic yards

The rides, each of which have a footprint of about 80 feet in diameter, had to be disassembled and transported via three semi trucks to get them to the county fairgrounds. The rides will be stationed south of the grandstands, between the windbreak and livestock barns due to their large size. It took a large group
of people to make that happen, including Neyl Eagon, Nathan Kees, Joe Miller, Terry McKitrick, Fred Nass, Grant Kees, Trevor and Colbey Steeke, Caydon and Blake Wolbaum, Adam Kordovsky, Ray Shinabarger, Ben Ecklend, Burke Ranch Trucking, Kees Trucking and Randy’s Welding.
The rides are somewhat aged and some work would have to be done to them before they’d become operational. Wolbaum said he wasn’t sure what the overall expense would be for that. The fair board is now seeking volunteers and monetary sponsors to help bring the rides back to life.
of grout was used to fill a small, family-owned mine in Reeder that had collapsed. Only a hand-drawn map of the mine was available to work with for that project. But it was completed without incident. The department had worked on a large-scale project at a mine immediately to the east of the Scranton Equity Exchange in Scranton. The department graded the area’s surface sometime in the 1980s, but Breiner said it was not ideal because some holes still remained underground. That site continued to cave in over time. Work on a bypass road south of Scranton Equity near the mine was completed last year. A total of 5,000 cubic yards of grout was pumped into underground holes to prevent further collapse, but it still left the area susceptible to sinkholes, Breiner said. The grout had been pumped too forcefully, putting too much pressure on the road. That led to large cracks in the road.
That site, however, was remedied this summer. To reclaim a mine is certainly not a cheap project. Due to the cost of the operation, Breiner said she’s limited as to how much of the mine could be reclaimed. That means a large section of the mine’s center will remain collapsed—a large sinkhole visible from the roads. It cost roughly $500,000 for the project in Bowman. The funds for the project come from allocations
made by the state. To excavate the entire area of the mine would be even more expensive. Daylighting, the process of complete mine excavation, was completed in the early days of the state’s reclamation program. It wasn’t cheap. A portion of the mine in Scranton underwent daylighting in the 1980s; just a small portion of that cost $1 million to complete. Today, that would be nearly astronomical.

Local production of ‘Cinderella’ brings life to popular tale By Bryce Martin
Pioneer Editor bmartin@countrymedia.net Cinderella’s forgotten glass slipper was recovered by Prince Charming last week on a Bowman stage. The popular children’s fantasy, “Cinderella,” came to life with the help of some Bowman County youth in two productions, July 31 and Aug. 1, as part of the Missoula Children’s Theatre. The theatre, a traveling theatre based out of Montana, made the trek to Bowman last week as part of an arts initiative similar to its staging of “Pinocchio” last year. Unfolding on the basketball court at the John and Jean Rouzie Pool and Recreation Complex in Bowman for two performances, the play was unique in that everything was provided to host the play by the touring theatre, minus the actors. Children and adults from around Bowman County in the previous weeks auditioned to fill the roles in the play, about a lowly peasant girl wanting to emerge from her surroundings, then is discovered by a mystical prince after getting some help from her fairy godmother.

Say Anything By Rob Port Guest Columnist
One nation ruled by a social media mob The rise of social media mob justice makes me think of a toddler wielding a loaded handgun. Two weeks ago a man in Fargo was the target of thousands of online postings, mostly on Facebook, calling him a pervert and demanding his arrest and even physical harm because he’d been observed engaged the perfectly legal activity of taking pictures in that city’s Island Park. Not one of the angry online ranters called the police. Rather, this man went to authorities himself, scared out of his wits. His reward? A trespass order barring him from park property issued by local law enforcement officials no doubt uneasy about going up against the vicious public overreaction. Better to tread on the grounds of a legally dubious ban from public property for the vile crime of photography than for law enforcement officials to themselves become targets of the mob. Over this last week we saw another social media overreaction. This time it was Cecil the Lion, a feline celebrity that few in America had ever heard of before a Minnesota dentist shot him giving social media reactionaries another opportunity to vent mindless spleen. The dentist in question has been pilloried in the same way the photographer was, albeit on an international scale. There have been demands for his arrest and physical harm. Celebrity animal rights activists irresponsibly published his private information online. The laughably corrupt government of Zimbabwe is pursuing extradition. Yet, it still isn’t clear that this man knowingly broke any laws, a fact that didn’t quell the self righteous howling from an ill-informed, global online mob which drove the dentist into hiding. So why did Cecil’s death capture so much social media attention? Who knows. Why did a photographer in Fargo inspire a digital lynch mob to form before anyone called the police? For that matter, why is a reality television star currently the frontrunner among Republican candidates for president?
That Donald Trump is an unserious candidate more concerned with trending on Twitter than he is with advancing a serious policy agenda is self evident to people who are engaged. Yet the politically engaged and informed do not make up the majority on social media, which has been the platform most key to Trump’s surge. What’s worse is that the traditional media - which in another era might have been counted on to put a needle in the side of inflated social media reaction to random acts of photography, trophy hunting, and buffoonish campaigning - has turned to milking these stories for the likes and tweets and shares that have become oh-so-important to their bottom line. Last week a Fargobased television station sent one of their reporters across the Red River to investigate property owned by Cecil the Lion’s dentist killer in Clay County, Minnesota. The resulting report was laughably inane, covering such hot scoops as the use of surveillance cameras on the property (oh my!), and information from some anonymous local source which revealed that the dentist keeps mounts of exotic animals in his home there (shocking!). A rational observer might wonder why the television station was wasting precious broadcast minutes on a story with zero pertinent information. But that rational observer would be missing the point of the story, which wasn’t informing the public so much as inspiring Facebook shares. In September of this year I will have been writing SayAnythingBlog. com - North Dakota’s most popular political blog - for a dozen successful and rewarding years. When I first started blogging I felt like I was a part of something new and special that democratized media. No longer would we have to rely on biased and myopic producers and editors and reporters to get our news. That which the traditional news media would not cover could be covered by a new, alternative online media. I still believe this to be true. Online media has improved communication and news reporting in ways too numerous to list here. But alongside online media has grown a sort of social media hive mind that, far from being an alternative to the traditional media, now seems to be driving the media. It’s that toddler with the gun, and nobody knows who will get it next.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Thank you Bowman reunion committee’ To the entire Reunion Committee: It is impossible to think that anyone worked harder, longer or with more dedication
Hat Tips By Dean Meyer
The Rally Hello, Well, the rally is on! The big bike rally in Sturgis is taking place. We operate along Highways 22 in North Dakota and Highway 79 in South Dakota. Those two highways have been rumbling with the sound of the Harley motorcycles roaring for the Black Hills to live their dream of being sun and wind burnt themselves, and surrounding themselves with a million other burnt people dressed in

than all of you on the committee. The many hours of reminiscing, laughing and telling stories was priceless to us. The hugs will last a long, long time, as will the warm feelings taken from the reunion. On behalf of the classes of the 40s and 50s, we can’t thank you
hot black leather! Well, they aren’t all dressed in hot, black leather. Which reminds me of a story I’ve probably told you before. When my grandsons were smaller than they are now, Will and Jen were returning from a rodeo and had to come through Sturgis on the way home. And the rally was on. They were surrounded by bikes and driving through when they came to a stop light. Much to their chagrin, as they waited at a stoplight, a biker pulled up alongside Evan’s window. Evan was pretty young. The girl on the back was topless! The parents were aghast, but Evan just hollered, “Look, the girls have to ride on the back!”

This and That By Josephine Kaczmarek
My son-in-law Loren Schmeical from Milbank, South Dakota, filled all of my bird feeders before they left. One was empty by that evening. On Wednesday, Bernie Ratzlaff’s wife from Hettinger was here and joined in playing games with residents. Dennis Schaff stopped in Friday to see his mom Barb. They had a few games of cards. Roger Walter entertained the resident on Friday. We’re always
happy to hear him play that “toe tapping” music. Tuesday, July 28th, the Reeder Prairie Pioneers came and served root beer floats to all of the residents. This was really nice of them and all of us certainly appreciated it. Those serving the floats were Phillys Enerson, Sandy Erdman, Cori Perri and Donna Olson. Don Perri and Larry Jackson also came with the gals. Joy Naico stopped in to see me one day. Melody Pearson stopped in briefly. Marlene Lutes spent Thursday afternoon until she had to keep a doctor appointment. Pam called me Sunday, John and Pam had just left Madison, Wisconsin. They attended the National motor home
enough for all your hard work that made this reunion such a huge success. Also a special thanks to Don Nordgren for being our host. - Darrell (Class of 1955) and Bev (Class of 1956) Stebbins
Which takes me another short story. I’ve a friend, whom a few years ago, had to attend a nephews first communion. Like most first communions, it is a pretty big family deal. The guy had trouble with cattle shorty before he left. Which often happens to ranchers when something important is coming up. He walked into church a little late. As he hurriedly made his way to the front of the church, one of the ushers tapped him on the shoulder and pointed skyward. Since the church was relatively full, he assumed he was to sit in the balcony. As he walked back down the aisle a couple of friends pointed up. He nodded knowingly and kept going. He climbed

convention and were gone three weeks. They stopped in Fargo Sunday and also stayed Monday to spend some time with the little granddaughters. They came home Tuesday evening. They had a nice time on their trip. They had all stopped to see “the house on the rock.” It is quite a different thing to see. Quite a few years ago I went on a bus tour to Wisconsin and Michigan and saw the House on the Rock. Also, the cranberry bogs in Wisconsin. We took the ferry across Lake Michigan, very interesting. There were about twenty-five or so of us, all local people and we had a real good time. Starting Tuesday, there will be two shifts for
the stairs and found it was only a belltower. He climbed back down and crowded into the back aisle, where people looked at him with noticeable concern on their faces. Mothers hugged their children closer to them and fathers glared at him in disgust. A very unfriendly congregation. As the service ended, and people were filing out of the church, one of his friends said, “You shouldn’t have worn that cap to church!” Embarrassed, he reached up and took his cap off. A cap he had recently purchased at the rally. Oh, and by the way, on the front of the cap was a naked lady! Ride safe! Later, Dean

meals. Some of us will eat at 11 and 5 and the rest of us will eat at 12 and 6. Mary Lou Hansey and Toby stopped to see me one evening. Ada’s daughter-in-law Sherill Heinrich from Mesa, Arizona and two cousins of Sherill’s came to see Ada on Monday, August 3rd. Today, Tuesday they started to move the residents from the Heritage Wing, things are moving right along. We cannot use the south entrance as it is blocked off, so we can only use the main entrance. Long ways to the chapel as part of that hallway is blocked off, so have to go through the dining room and over to the chapel.

OBITUARIES Kay (Krinke) Gustafson, 77
Kay L. Krinke Gustafson, beloved daughter of Earl and Eleanor Krinke of Haley, passed away Saturday evening, Aug. 1, 2015 in Colorado. A ray of sunshine to everyone who knew her, Kay was known for her ever-present smile and positive outlook. She transcended boundaries when it came to meeting new people or being with old friends, and did so with elegance and grace. You could always find Kay lending a hand to someone in need or sheltering a lost animal. As a child, she always had one critter tucked under her arm with at least one (if not 10) others at her side. Kay was a go-getter. When she put her mind to something there was no stopping her. She graduated in 1955 from Scranton High School in Scranton and made her way to Rapid City, S.D., where she attended business school. That is where she met Bernard (Gus) Gustafson and that they were married in 1958. Kay then embarked on a 28-year mission in the Air Force as an officer’s wife and retired that part of her life in 1982. While part of andthe military family, Kay binsfinished up a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Husson College in Northern Maine

Charles Ronning, 84
Gustafson and later on acquired a master’s degree in government document procurement from Webster University in Colorado Springs. She spent many years working with a government contracting organization and retired from that firm in 2005. Never one to fully retire, Kay started her own real estate ownership and management company which she owned and ran up to the point of her passing. Kay is survived by her two daughters and their husbands – Gail & Bill and Erika & Chris, her brother Neil, her partner Mike, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. We will take her home to the farm in North Dakota to rest in Haley Cemetery with a memorial graveside service at 10 a.m. Aug. 15. A gathering will be held at the Krinke farm following. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society
Charles K. Ronning, 84, of Cheyenne, Wyo., died July 29, 2015 at the VA Medical Center in Cheyenne. Funeral Liturgy was held at 2 p.m. July 31 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Cheyenne. He was born Nov. 7, 1930 in Scranton, a son of Gilbert and Hazel Ronning. Charles graduated from
Ronning Scranton High School. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from Dickinson State Teacher’s College and his Master’s Degree in Business Education from MSU in Bozeman, Mont. Charles was an educator, living in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. He retired from Carey Junior High School in Cheyenne.
Chuck married Gloria Nichols on Dec. 11, 1948 in Dickinson. He joined the Army in June of 1952 and served with the 452 Battalion in the Korean War. He was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, where he filled all positions that a layperson could fill. He was a lifetime member of the American Legion, and the VFW. He belonged to the Good Sam’s Club, Sons of Norway; Moose Lodge, Knights of Columbus, Disabled American Veterans and the Laramie County Retired Teacher’s Assn. Survivors include his wife Gloria, of Cheyenne; sons, Mark (Rhonda) of Worland, Wyo.; Thomas (Stephanie Bleiker) of Arvada, Colo., and Ted of Cheyenne; daughters, Julane “Julie” (Alan) Wood of Cheyenne and Sheila (Danny) Ness of Scranton; 12 grandchildren, Michael Ronning, Cortney Heeftle, Steve Wood, Keri Hall, Brandi Fries, Josh Ness, Ben Ronning, Bridget Ronning, Crissy Brigham, Taylor Cowden, Kelcey Ronning and Isaac Ronning, seventeen great grandchildren; two sisters, Lois (Pierre) Pigeon of Scranton; Donna (Gary) Larson of Grand Forks; and a brother, Lowell “Milan” Ronning of Melverne, Ark. He was preceded in death by his parents, and two brothers, Tom and
Darrell Marking.
Gary Stinchfield, 58 Gary Robert Stinchfield, 58, of Billings, Mont., passed away unexpectedly at his home Monday morning, Aug. 3, of natu-
Stinchfield ral causes. Six short weeks ago he danced at his beloved daughter Amanda’s wedding. Most of us didn’t realize it would be the last time we would see him. We are so grateful now for this special, happy memory. Gary was born to Robert (Tag) and Marcelline (Steier) Stinchfield in Bowman. He moved to Billings with his family in 1963. He later graduated from Billings West High in 1975. He joined Laborers Local 98 immediately afterward. He worked as a laborer for over 30 years on many great projects. He was a job site foreman for Meredith Drilling on the
big build in Colstrip. He married Jolene Lorenz in 1985 with whom he had two children. He was retired at the time of his death. Gary was known as boisterous, funny guy, quick with a witty remark, and not shy with his point of view. He could often be seen driving around town with “his” Saint Bernard Zula (whom he appropriated from Amanda) hanging out both his car windows. Gary was preceded in death by his wife, his baby son, Travis Jo, his maternal and paternal grandparents and all of his inlaws but one. He is survived by his precious daughter, Amanda Stinchfield-Driskell and his new son-in-law, Mike; his faithful parents, Robert and Marcelline Stinchfield; sisters, Doris (Tim) Stricker, Lorrie (Mark) Stinchfield-Faas, Sheryl Stinchfield and Janel (Troy) Wangsness; brother, Tom (Sharon) Stinchfield; brother-inlaw, Tom (Marilyn) Lorenz; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. A vigil will be held 7 p.m. Aug. 6th at Dahl Funeral Chapel with a celebration of Gary’s life at 11 a.m. Aug. 7 at St. Pius Catholic. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.dahlfuneralchapel. com.

One of the popular attractions during the weekend of Bowman’s Summerfest and Bowman High School All Class Reunion last month was a classic car show sponsored by a local group of dedicated auto enthusiasts. It was the place to be for gear heads as dozens of classic, drool-worthy cars were on display July 25 during the 27th annual Bowman Car Show. There were so many cars and various other vehicles on display that a second, adjacent city block had to be used to ensure each had adequate space to be admired. Throughout the day, cash prizes were given away to registered entrants. The show was organized by the Dakota Territory Collector Car Club made up of several local members.

OPINION
SKOL!: The Vikings Vine For the next several weeks I will be breaking down the Viking’s roster, evaluating the players and letting you know what to expect from each position. If you have any questions or comments feel free to write me at jwright3030@gmail.com, follow me on Twitter @ SkolJWright or find me on Facebook at Jordan Wright. All stats are courtesy of Pro Football Focus unless noted otherwise. Preseason football is almost here! This will be my last positional breakdown, and I’ll be covering the special teams. Kicker Blair Walsh just signed a contract extension, making him one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL. Did he deserve the contract? Punter Jeff Locke is left unchallenged this offseason. Is that a good move? The Vikings did bring in a challenger
By Jordan Wright
to long time long snapper Cullen Loeffler. Was the move justified? Let’s dive in. Kicker Blair Walsh has been the Viking’s kicker ever since he was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL draft. Just recently, the Vikings signed him to a four year, 13 million extension, making him the fifth highest paid kicker in the league. Walsh made the Pro Bowl his rookie season and was also Pro Football Focus’ highest rated kicker that year. In Walsh’s second season, PFF rated him as the eighth best, which
is obviously a drop but still in the top ten. Last year, Walsh was rated number 11, which is still decent but I’m noticing a trend here and it isn’t good. The Vikings have to be hoping that the move back indoors for the 2016 season will help Walsh regain his Pro Bowl form and justify the huge contract extension. Punter Jeff Locke was selected in the fifth round of the 2013 draft. Since then, he has been ranked 40 (out of 41) and 37 (out of 37) according to PFF. Those numbers are concerning, and I’m not sure why the Vikings declined to bring in any competition for Locke this offseason. Punter might be one of those positions that most people don’t think about much, but a great punter can control the field position when the offense is
having a bad day, and a bad punter can single handedly (or maybe single footedly) spell disaster for an NFL team. I’m hoping Locke can take a step forward this year, but if not look for the Vikings to upgrade next offseason. Long Snapper Long snapper is a position that has been manned by Cullen Loeffler since he signed with the Vikings as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2004. While PFF doesn’t have grades for long snappers, it’s fair to say Cullen has performed admirably, considering the Vikings have undergone numerous coaching changes since he came into the league and Loeffler is still around. This year, however, the Vikings brought in Kevin McDermott to challenge Loeffler. McDermott
was another undrafted rookie, who signed with the 49ers in 2013. The interesting thing to me is the Vikings signed McDermott to a two year contract, which tells me Loeffler’s time in Minnesota might be coming to an end. What to watch this weekend The Minnesota Vikings will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Aug. 9 in the annual Hall of Fame game. This game will mark the first preseason game of the season. This game doesn’t count towards the Vikings four preseason games, so they really get five games to get the team prepared and the roster set. Coach Zimmer will take full advantage of the extra preseason game by trying out multiple combinations of players to find who plays
well together. There are plenty of competitions going on throughout the Viking’s roster but the one I will be keeping an eye on is the offensive line, as I think that group has the potential to make or break the Viking’s season. The starters won’t be playing much in this game, but it will be a great way for the second stringers and rookies to show what they have in an actual game situation. Have a wonderful weekend and remember, football is back! Next time you read this column, I’ll be able to report on an actual game. If there is anything you would like to see in my columns, or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or Twitter. I appreciate all the feedback I’ve gotten so far and I always welcome more!

GAME AND FISH NEWS ■■ Deer Lottery Held, Antlerless Licenses Remain
North Dakota’s deer gun lottery has been held and individual results are available online at the State Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. More than 1,400 antlerless deer gun licenses remain. Only resident applicants who were unsuccessful in the first lottery can apply for remaining licenses. The first lottery application process – deer gun, muzzleloader, youth and landowner – had more than 95,000 applicants, and over 51,000 were unsuccessful. An option for unsuccessful applicants to apply online for remaining licenses will be available Aug. 5. Paper applications for remaining licenses will be mailed to individuals Aug. 10. The deadline for applying is Sept. 2.
“When the purchase is completed the electronic stamp is valid immediately,” Meissner said. “The words ‘Federal Duck Stamp’ will be printed on the license certificate, along with an expiration date 45 days from the date of purchase. The actual physical stamp will be sent by postal mail.” Meissner said the physical stamp is processed and sent by the official duck stamp vendor in Texas, and should arrive to the individual buyer well before the expiration date printed on the electronic license. The physical stamp must remain in possession of the hunter after the 45-day electronic stamp has expired. Individuals who have questions
