Bowman gears up for Fusion

BY FRANK TURNER

reporternd@countrymedia.net

Last year, 20 talented speakers and presenters gathered in Bowman to empower people and foster leadership.

Executive Director Teran Doerr said that in the past, Fusion has brought opportunity to Bowman County and surrounding areas.

“An event of this caliber with renowned content and unique atmosphere is not something that is usually found in rural communities,” she said. “Whether you are looking for something to help you in your career, your community or looking for personal development, Fusion hits all of these categories and so much more. “

2018 Fusion had remarkable keynote speakers.

very year, students from all over the state of North Dakota gather at Boys State to take part in a mock political process. There, students run for different mock political positions and learn about government and the political process.

At the conclusion of every Boys

State, the American Legion selects and sponsors only two boys from every state in the nation to travel to Washington D.C. and participate as mock senators in Boys Nation.

This year, local Bowman High School Senior Mitch Stuber was chosen to be one of two individuals representing North Dakota on a national stage. Bottineau High

Schooler Nikoli Schoenborn and two qualifying girls from Girls State also joined Stuber in the trip to D.C. Stuber said, “Throughout the Boys State week, they observe us in the working environment and watch how we showcase our leadership skills.”

Stuber continued saying that he was likely nominated for Boys

Bowman Lions have a great summer

BY FRANK TURNER

reporternd@countrymedia.net

T

he Bowman Lions continued a successful summer of events with their fifth annual Strides Splash and Dash Mini Triathlon.

22 brave individuals rose to the challenge and ran 3.1 miles at the Bowman Sweetwater Golf Course, biked 3.7 north to the Rouzie Rec Center Pool, and concluded the race with 10 lap swim.

Bowman Lions member Chuck Whitney explained

that the mini triathlon event was only possible with the help of the Bowman community.

“These events do not happen in a vacuum, and our success is often made greater by those who contribute their time and resources,” said Whitney. “The generosity of these local businesses and individuals really makes a difference as we move forward living up to the Lion’s Motto ‘We Serve.’”

The mini triathlon aligns with the

Lions Club’s goals in more ways than just a community-building event. According to Whitney, advocating for the blind has been a historic goal of the Lion’s Club for years.

“Back in 1925, Hellen Keller challenged the Lions to become knights for the blind,” said Whitney. “As a result of that challenge, the Lions began to actively work towards helping the blind.”

So what does a mini triathlon have to do with blindness?

Whitney ex-

plained, “In the western world, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness. Prevention of blindness is very much tied into exercise.”

Having a successful event and being able to provide a healthy opportunity was dependent on the supporting businesses, he said.

“The Mini-Triathlon was supported by our financial institutions, Dakota Western Bank, Dakota Community Bank, Dakota West Credit Union, and Wells Fargo. Southwest

HealthCare Service also contributes, and CEO Lion Jerry Weisner was one of our key people, timing the run,” said Whitney. “Bronson's Marketplace furnished the light breakfast after the run. The generosity of these local businesses and individuals really make a difference as we move forward living up to the Lion's Motto ‘We Serve.’”

Dobitz Retiring From Tot Lot

W

hen Dee Dobitz got off the phone after reluctantly agreeing to work at the first community owned daycare in Bowman, she had no idea that her decision would span over the next 18 years. Visiting with Dee in her office at Tot Lot Daycare in Bowman, years of memorabilia, mostly homemade arts and crafts from little ones who have been cared for at the daycare facility, adorn her office.

Her husband Ken came in to visit and share their story on how 18 years have come and gone and all the changes from the growing children to the many new regulations that daycare facilities must abide by.

Dee started her childcare career in Amidon, serving the daycare needs of Slope County. After just two years there, the lack of children needing daycare resulted in the facility closing.

Shortly after, Dee received a phone call from Karla Germann, who had organized and started a community owned daycare to help assist with daycare shortages that the community was facing at the time. It was called Tot Lot Childcare Inc., and it was located in a singlewide trailer house close to the railroad tracks on the northwest side of Bowman. It really was a great location for kids, they loved that choo choo train. And it was a really, good thing that Dee’s husband was handy with tools.

Over the next 11 years, Dee poured her heart and soul into every child that came through the door of Tot Lot. And Ken spent hours pouring his blood sweat and

tears, well, maybe he left the tears to the babies, but he worked hard making that daycare center a safe and functional place for children to be watched while their parents or guardians were away at work.

Many may not have known that Ken has volunteered his labor to Tot Lot Childcare since 2001. From mowing, snow removal, fixing trikes, to working at various fundraising events, Ken has been there through it all.

In 2011, the Tot Lot staff and current families that utilized the daycare realized that the current building and location was no longer adequately meeting the needs of the daycare. With Dee’s leadership, they began fundraising for a dream of something more. Ken and Joyce Luff of Luff Oil Exploration heard the community’s need for a new facility for the not-for-profit daycare and agreed to fund the project. November 19, 2012 was the first day of daycare in the new, state-ofthe-art daycare facility, that had more than enough room to meet state regulations and adequate space to grow for preschool or population growth.

Dee’s last day serving as the

Daycare Director at Tot Lot was July 31. She will be working some in August to assist with the transi-

tion. “It’s the kids.

It’s the kids who I am going to miss the most and the staff,� said Dee. “But keeping up

with Government Regulations is something I’m definitely not going to miss.� Dee passes over her leadership role to Amy Haugen who has worked there since 2013.

“I was the only one who participated in Boys State from our area,” he said. “By the end of it, I was one of the two finalists for Governor, which means I got to participate in throwing a political rally and participating in an hour long debate against my opponent,” Although Stuber did not win the Governor’s race at Boys State, his party still elected him Senate Majority Leader.

“It was a great ex-

perience,” he said.

After successfully serving as the Senate Majority Leader and running for Governor at Boys State, Stuber left for the nation’s capital in mid July for eight days.

There, Stuber joined the other 98 student senators from every state in the nation to learn about the federal government first hand.

“We had a lot of opportunities in D.C.,” he said. “The student senators got to meet real U.S. senators, if they were available.”

It seems like one massive data breach after another is in the news.

If you've been affected by one of them, or if you are unsure or just want to protect your identity from future data breaches, one of the best things you can to is to freeze your credit. In fact, placing a freeze on your credit data is one of the most effective ways to pre-

vent identity thieves from using your information to steal.

And it’s gotten much easier to put a freeze in place.

A credit freeze locks your credit file, which makes it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. You can unfreeze your account at any time to apply for new credit, and then freeze it again.

It’s important to note that a credit freeze does not stop thieves from getting into your current financial accounts and wreaking havoc, so you should keep close tabs on banking, credit cards and other financial accounts and monitor them regularly.

If you are married, you and your spouse both have to freeze your credit. If you have children, consider freezing their credit, too, until they are old enough to use credit.

A new federal law

that went into effect last September makes it free to freeze your credit file with the three major credit rating companies.

To freeze your credit, you will need to file a separate request with each consumer reporting agency: • EXPERIAN: www.experian.com/ freeze or call tollfree 888-397-3742.

• TRANSUNION: www.transunion. com/securityfreeze or call toll-free 888909-8872; • EQUIFAX:

I don’t often make mistakes. Well, actually I do. I’ve been making mistakes for seventy years. Some

grievous, some not so bad.

I made a mistake a week ago.

I figured I was done haying. I’ve been haying for several weeks. I put some hay up too wet.

I put some hay up too dr y. In between I baled up a few bales that were probably just right. I don’t know which ones they were, but I’ll bet the cows eat ever y bale I feed next winter.

They aren’t fussy when it is twenty below and a brisk wind blowing.

I mentioned to a friend one time that I had put up some poor hay. “Beats the hell

of a nor thwest wind and rabbit tracks,” he responded.

The mistake I made a week ago was with our hay cutter. I had to r un down to Reva and I left the keys in the cutter. I know.

I know. You shouldn’t leave the keys in stuff.

Shirley knew that I always leave the keys in ever ything so she went to work.

When I got home from Reva I found that I was not done haying. She had cut hay for another three hours. I wept.

She cut hay so I could make more little square bales, or as many

Pastor's Corner:

Five Finger Prayer

BY PASTOR CHARLES JOHNSON

T

he apostle Paul writes in Colossians 1:3, “We always thank God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.”

These are words of encouragement and inspiration to first century Christians who are struggling with outside influences that seek to divide the followers of Christ. These words are words of encouragement to Christians in the 21st Century as we struggle in a world that is moving away from the teachings of God and focusing more on earthly wants and desires. So, what are we to do?

We find one answer in how we are to cope in the world we live in as we heed the words of the apostle Paul, “when we pray for you.” Prayer is one way in which we can cope with the world around us. Prayer is taking the time to lift-up cares and concerns, joys and sorrows, successes and failures to God, and then, taking the time to listen to God. Listening is an important element in praying. And, praying

is easy—is it not?

We all know how and what to pray for. We have been praying for years and the words just flow from our lips. As you read this article, I am sure that you are mindful of the everyday prayers that you pray to God. They come to mind in an instant, but to be honest and truthful I might be a little over-zealous when it comes to praying. Praying to God is a corporate experience and it is an individual experience as well—and it is to our individual prayers to God that I want to focus.

While praying is something all Christians do, what we pray for and how we pray can at times be a struggle, so I want to share a simple method in which to focus our prayers. This method is called the “Five Finger Prayer.” (The following information is from www.textweek.com.)

First, I want you to put your hands out in front of you. You will notice that the closest finger to you is the thumb. Since it is the closest to you, the thumb reminds you to pray for those that are closest to you. Pray

for parents and brothers or sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

The next finger is called your index finger.

It is used for pointing.

Let this finger remind you to pray for those that point you in the right direction. Pray for your teachers at school, your Sunday School teacher, doctors, first-responders, mentors, and your pastor.

The next finger is the tallest finger. This finger reminds us to pray for our leaders. Pray for the leaders in our government, our state, our communities, our churches.

The fourth finger is called the ring finger.

Did you know that this is the weakest of all the fingers? Let this finger remind you to pray for those who are sick, poor, and those most in need.

The next finger is the smallest finger. The Bible says, "Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought." Let the little finger remind you to pray for yourself.

The “Five Finger Prayer”—a simple and yet powerful technique in guiding our prayer life with God.

refer to them, “idiot blocks”. She likes to have a few in the barn for her saddle horse or bred heifers that she is calving.

When we hauled the hay I left 5 small squares up by the road. As Shirley was cutting, a family stopped by and had spotted these five bales.

They were boarding a horse somewhere and wanted to purchase the five little bales. That wasn’t a problem.

The problem was that it was a Mexican family and the Dad didn’t speak English.

And Shirley is weak on

Spanish. The only word she knows is tequila.

But they did have an interpreter.

There were five children. One boy, about six years old could speak English. He was the go-between between Shirley and his Dad. But he didn’t know the Mexican word for hay or bales. So the negotiations were a little complicated.

When Shirley figured out what the family wanted she quickly said they could simply have the hay at no charge. They were able to decipher that.

Later that day,

when I returned from Reva, Shirley explained what she had done.

Only she wasn’t sure what she had done.

She explained that she had done one of three things and she wasn’t sure which.

She had given away five small bales. She had given away five big bales. Or she had adopted five Mexican children.

I was happy with any one of the three. The next day I checked. The five small squares were gone. No children. Darn.

Successful applicants should note that Game and Fish will not mail pronghorn licenses until a valid 2019-20 hunting license is purchased.

Hunting units in the northwest have been added to the restriction zone, following the detection of CWD in those areas this past year.

Hunters are reminded it is unlawful to hunt big game over bait, or place bait to attract big game for the purpose of hunting, on both public and private land in deer units 3A1, 3A2, 3A3 north of N.D. Highway 2, 3B1, 3C west of the Missouri River, 3E1, 3E2, 3F1 and 3F2.

Hunting over bait is defined as the placement and/or use of baits for attracting big game and other wildlife to a specific location for the purpose of hunting.

Baits include but are not limited to grains, minerals, salts, fruits, vegetables, hay, or any other natural or manufactured foods.

Corporation hopes to continue the momentum.

According to Doerr, the development corporation has already picked out its 2019 theme.

“The Fusion theme this year is EVOLVE, allowing attendees to gather ideas and tools in order for themselves, their businesses and communities to thrive in an ever-changing world,” she said.

Already, the Bowman County Development Corporation has lined up a new keynote speaker.

“Our Keynote and Emcee is Judson Laipply,” said Doerr. “Judson is an inspirational comedian and the world’s first YouTube celebrity. He is known for his Evolution of Dance and has been featured on The Today Show, America’s Got Talent, Ellen, and many more. He compliments our EVOLVE theme and we are so excited to bring him to Fusion 2019.”

Ultimately, Doerr said that she is ecstatic for the upcoming conference, and that she expects the

event to keep growing.

“Fusion is so unique.

You have the opportunity to connect with people that you may not usually get to in a capacity that goes outside an industry based conference. We believe each year will be better than the last,” she said. “We listen to what attendees have to say about the previous years’ conferences, both the good and the bad, and we work to improve on both. So, we believe this year will be the best year yet.”

common question I A get is “what does it take to get a job with the Game and Fish Department?”

If we’re talking about just the wildlife or fisheries biologist side, the answer involves at minimum a four-year degree in some type of biology or wildlife management curriculum. En route to that degree, seasonal work is for Game and Fish is a big plus.

My colleague Ron Wilson, editor of North Dakota Outdoors magazine, covered that very topic in the July 2019 issue, and I thought I’d share some of that insight with excerpts from that article.

Department wildlife and fisheries managers place a high value on part-time staff because of the number of tasks, many of which go

unseen by the public, that get accomplished by young, hard-working hands.

“Without the help from seasonal staff, we as a Department just wouldn’t get by,” said Terry Steinwand, current Department director and seasonal worker in 1975-76.

While the Department hires both full-time, year-round and summer seasonal staff, the majority work during the summer months.

“Oftentimes what Department seasonal employees are doing is not glamorous work, but extremely important in fulfilling our mission at the Game and Fish Department,” said Scott Peterson, Department deputy director. Peterson’s first summer as a Department seasonal was in 1979. “Spraying weeds, planting trees, planting grass, fixing what’s broken … all of those duties that need to get done, but we just don’t have the time and personnel to do it ourselves.”

Greg Power, Department fisheries chief, was a summer seasonal in 1979 and remembers that he, well, knew very

little about what needed to be done or how to do it when he started.

“I thought at the time, ‘What did it get myself into … this is not what the college textbooks taught me,’” Power said. “This is not the job for you if you think you are going to be sitting behind a desk, instead with fisheries crews you will get your hands wet, feet wet and grease up to your elbows in the shop. The work is critical to our mission and we simply wouldn’t get it done without the help.”

Much of the fish population sampling data earned by hours of netting fish in many of North Dakota’s waters is the byproduct of seasonal sweat and effort. “They set the nets, pull the nets, take the fish out of the nets and sometimes record the data,” Power said.

“Depending on where they are with their experience, those who return for another summer or two will lead a crew.

These people are critical to our data collection.”

For many college students who like to hunt and/or fish, a summer working for Game and Fish might seem like

Dakota Datebook

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: False Peace Flash Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm August 12, 2019 — On this date in 1945, the nation learned that World War II was over.

It was at 9:34 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, that a news flash came from the United Press in New York saying that V-J Day had arrived. Carrying a Washington dateline, the flash was first fed into the UP’s southern wire service and stated that the Japanese had accepted the Allies’ terms of surrender.

A Fargo Forum article stated that people who were out for Sunday evening strolls “stopped beside parked cars from whose open windows they could catch the radio bulletins.

bowmanextra.com

Persons began streaming into the streets,” the article read, “calling to one another, ‘Hey, the war’s over.’

“A woman hurried along the street, her face wreathed in smiles, tears brimming in her eyes,” the article went on.

“Automobile horns blared.

Confetti dropped into the street in front of the Fargoan hotel, tossed there by a boy on the roof. A tiny paper parachute floated down from the same roof. Strangers smiled at one another, unable to keep outward expression of the joy in their hearts to themselves.”

Reporter Joyce Lang went on to describe her own experience of what happened next. “... I was on north Broadway, opposite the Holzer confectionery. I turned around and walked to The Fargo Forum office. By the

time I had gone halfway, I knew the report was unofficial without hearing the radio bulletins from cars along the curb. People’s expressions had changed.”

It turned out that the story was false. Lang said the telephones at the Forum rang off the hook, and paperboys wanted to know when the “extra” would roll. But, then things quieted, and people once again took up their vigil of waiting for peace.

Two minutes after the news flash went out, the UP figured out it had NOT originated at their Washington bureau, and they immediately killed the story. Within a half hour, White House secretary Charles Ross issued a report, saying, “President Truman went to bed about an hour ago. If anything comes in, he’ll be notified. There is absolutely no word of truth in the report that the president has announced that Japan has accepted the Allied surrender terms.”

The United Press immediately reported the case to the FBI, and UP President Hugh Baillie offered a $5,000 reward for the identification and conviction of the person who fed the flash into the wire service.

The FCC also wanted to know what happened, and American Telephone and Telegraph – or AT&T – started its own investigation into how the story got released. There were 12 points along the telegraph poles where stories were regularly fed to the UP wires, and the flash could have been fed from any one of them.

The UP report also went on to describe the possibility of early-day hacking when it reported, “... it would be possible for a person with sufficient mechanical knowledge to hook another teletype on the UP wires and send a few words which would

The world would have to wait three more days for the official announcement of peace. The UP story on that day read, in part, “From New York to San Francisco, the people hailed the end of three years, eight months and seven days of struggle against a savage Asiatic foe.

They celebrated as their feelings dictated, in simple prayer and in wild hilarity.”

As one of nine children, Lemke’s boyhood was spent in the Big Coulee area of Towner County.

His aggressive father had already acquired 2,700 acres when he died of a stroke when he was outbid on a piece of land he wanted.

William lost an eye in a childhood accident and was described as shy but eager for knowledge. His big jaw, rough skin, and rumpled clothing gave him a tough exterior. This, coupled with fierce determination, led historian Edward Blackorby to label him a “prairie rebel.”

Lemke went to UND, where he was seen as an ambitious student and skilled debater.

Although he was only 5' 8" and 149 pounds, he also gained

Audrey Knutson Audrey Jo Knutson was born June 10, 1935 in Reeder, North Dakota, to Joe and Lillian Symanowski. She attended schools in Gascoyne and Scranton, North Dakota. She married James Knutson on October 9, 1951.

respect on the football field. He was a member of the Varsity Bachelor Club, whose members were to save each other from feminine wiles. It was in this group that he met many future leaders, including his good friend, Lynn Frazier.

Lemke watched farmers fall deeper and deeper into debt as banks, railroads and grain terminals grew fat with profits.

Historian Elwyn Robinson wrote that Lemke “became an intense, bitter, tenacious fighter for the plain people against the hated interests; he was a natural extremist... Versatile and emphatic in speech, the language of the threshing crews as well as that of the courtroom came naturally to him. He neither smoked nor drank,” Robinson continued. “When the occasion demanded, he could drive himself unsparingly with a terrible concentration. He was brilliant, a good organizer, ambitious and aggressive, eager for power, a natural promoter and dreamer, an ultra-nationalist... Until America became involved in the First World War, his friends called him ‘the Dutchman.’”

After graduating from UND in 1903, Lemke studied law at Georgetown and Yale, and then practiced in Fargo. He soon gained a reputation as a friend to farmers and was very drawn to the solidarity of the rebellious Nonpartisan League, which had roots in the Socialist Party. The League had 26,000 members in 1916, when Lemke became a salaried employee. He was very soon on the executive committee. Robinson wrote, “The League became a religion to Lemke.”

One factor that drove many North Dakotans to join the NPL was the state’s perceived “colonial” status – farmers saw themselves supplying the nation

with food but getting nothing in return. As World War I entered the picture, many North Dakotans saw it as just another advancement of corporate interests at their expense and vigorously opposed joining the overseas conflict.

The NPL gained an important edge in state politics in 1916, including the election of Lemke’s old friend, Lynn Frazier, as governor. Frazier, a relative unknown, often turned to Lemke for counsel, and Lemke wielded tremendous political influence. The state made important strides toward protecting its own interests until the party ultimately failed in 1921.

Lemke went on to serve in U.S. Congress in 1932, where he continued to champion the causes of family farmers. During the Great Depression, he co-sponsored the Fraizer-Lemke Act, which would have helped North Dakota farmers refinance their mortgages to save their farms. Lemke had been instrumental in getting FDR elected, but Roosevelt now refused to support Lemke, and the bill sank. Disillusioned by Roosevelt’s “New Deal” – as many were – Lemke accepted the Union of Social Justice Party’s nomination for president – the only North Dakotan who’s ever run for the office. He lost but received almost 900,000 votes.

In the same election, he was re-elected to Congress in which he served – except for one term – until his death in 1950.
