Bowman producer learns about Close call: Bowman County loses to Lemmon by 2 points cover crops in special event

Preliminary charges filed in Bowman homicide More charges to follow, says state’s attorney

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Details were released Aug. 25 regarding the initial criminal charges filed against two

suspects in the homicide that occurred the weekend of Aug. 20 in Bowman.

Chase Duane Swanson, 21, and Madison Beth West, 26, both of Bowman, were each charged with aggravated assault, a Class C felony, according to criminal complaints filed with Southwest Judicial District Court. The complaints were signed by the court Aug. 20 but released five

days later.

Affidavits provided to the court by Timothy Helmer of the N.D. Bureau of Criminal Investigation reiterated general details of the events surrounding the case, which were previously released by local law enforcement. The affidavits did, however, provide further information regarding the condition of the victim, Nicholas Johnson of Rhame.

It was suggested in the affidavit that Johnson could have been bludgeoned.

Bowman County State’s Attorney Stephanie Pretzer told The Pioneer Thursday afternoon that further charges will be added when the suspects return to North Dakota.

Swanson and West are currently awaiting extradition back to the state from a correctional facility in Colorado. WEST

en. John Hoeven, along with federal and state officials, marked the 100th anniversary of the national parks system last week with the release of a commemorative Theodore Roosevelt National Park quarter.

Roosevelt founded the U.S. Forest Service in 1906, a decade before the National Park Service was established on August 25, 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson.

“Theodore Roosevelt National Park, like all of our national parks, preserves not only our beautiful natural landscape, but also our cultural and historical legacy as a nation,” Hoeven said. “Teddy Roosevelt ranched in this country in the

Hoeven, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the committee has approved a $20 million program that will match donations dollar for dollar in order to leverage support for the national park system, notably critical infrastructure investments.

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park quarter is the second commemorative coin honoring North Dakota.

The 50 State Quarters Program created by Congress in 1997 directed the Mint to release a series of commemorative coins for general circulation. In 2004, then-Governor Hoeven invited North Dakotans of all ages to submit suggestions for the image on the coin. An image of two grazing bison against a backdrop of the North Dakota Badlands was chosen for the coin in 2005.

posterity.”

The coin depicts a young Theodore Roosevelt on horseback surveying the terrain near the Little Missouri River. It memorializes the 26th president for his enduring contributions to the conservation of our natural heritage, and his role in laying the groundwork for the nation’s 56 national parks.

The release of the coin is part of the America the Beautiful National Parks Quarter Act, which was passed

by Congress in 2008.

Inscriptions on the North Dakota coin are “Theodore Roosevelt,” “North Dakota,” “2016” and “E Pluribus A herd of bison roaming inside the park. (Pioneer Photo by Jérémy Dahan) Unum.”

The United States Postal Service is looking for a new location in Amidon, and if a suitable place isn’t found, the small town may lose their post office. The postal services have been operating in their current location on Main Street for more than 40 years, but ownership of the building recently changed, and the lease will not be renewed.

The lease ends on Dec. 31 of this year.

Greg Shelton, Real Estate Specialist with the USPS, was present for a public meeting at the Slope County Courthouse on Tuesday, Aug. 30 to go over various options and hear concerns from the residents.

Shelton said there are three options: find a new building to rent, find land to lease and the USPS would bring in a modular building, or put up a Neighborhood Distribution Collection Box (NDBCU)—essentially an exterior post office box type setup.

A new location, be it a land lease or another building, would need to be within a two mile radius. If a space is found outside of the two mile radius, Shelton would have to return and hold another public meeting.

Shelton said at least a net of 500 square feet would be required from a building rental, with up to a 10,000 square feet area of land for a land lease. The modular, if that’s the option that’s available, would be provided by the postal service and Shelton said the building would not need sewer or water, just electricity.

Using a modular building would be ideal in keeping the post office in Amidon, but land is scarce.

“I don’t know of anybody who’s willing to lease land,” Shelton said. “If they want to step up and say ‘yes I will lease land to you’ then we’ll look at it.”

Finding someone to work the office has also been difficult. A person would need to commit to work two hours a day for six days a week.

After hearing the options and the obstacles the post office is facing, some residents at the meeting indicated that the NDCBU would be the best solution, with one saying “this way you can get your mail 24 hours a day…as far as I’m concerned get on the stick and get it done.”

Another resident voiced her disappointment on losing the post office, saying “I don’t want the post office to close, but the reality check is there aren’t many people that want to work for two hours a day six days a week.”

Shelton was asked if an NDCBU option is selected, would Amdion ever be able to get a post office again if a population boom hit, he said that wasn’t likely.

“Typically what happens, once we’ve settled on those boxes, then they terminate my node, and that’s it, we won’t be coming back,” he said.

If in fact the town opts for the NDCBU, Shelton hopes to get it installed and up and running by the end of October. The current post office would continue operations until the transition to the NDCBU was completed.

“The other facility would stay open, we would

IN BRIEF

Cloud seeding Week 12 update An upper level trough over the Rocky Mountains steered multiple weather disturbances through southwestern North Dakota on August 26. These disturbances created thunderstorms which had the potential to produce hail.

The two cloud seeding aircraft in the District 1 operations area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP), which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, conducted four hail suppression flights on August 26. Rain enhancement operations remain suspended due to harvest.

The 2016 NDCMP season ends at midnight this Wednesday, August 31. There is only a slight chance of thunderstorms for Monday through Wednesday because a strong upper level ridge builds into the region and should suppress convective development. Southwestern North Dakota should see above normal high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s associated with this ridge.

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.

Sweet corn harvest yields record amount of produce The recent harvest of a three-acre sweet corn plot at Lincoln-Oakes Nurseries netted approximately 37,162 pounds of produce designated for the Hunger Free ND Garden Project. The produce was donated to the Great Plains Food Bank for distribution across the state; as well as direct donations to organizations located in and around Bismarck/ Mandan.

“This year’s total doubles the amount picked and donated last year,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “I’m thankful to our partners, sponsors and numerous volunteers who came out in force to make this contribution to the Hunger Free ND Garden Project.”

With a yearly goal of 250,000 pounds of fresh produce wanted for the program, gardeners across the state are invited to donate extra fruits and vegetables from their harvest this year to help meet the needs of hungry North Dakotans.

Goehring said information about the Hunger Free ND Garden Project, including drop-off points for gardengrown produce is available on the North Dakota Department of Agriculture website, www.nd.gov/ndda.

The Hunger Free ND Garden Program was started in 2010 through the local foods initiative of the North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) in partnership with the Great Plains Food Bank. The statewide program encourages home gardeners and commercial growers to plant extra produce each year for donation to charitable organizations across the state. Since its inception, the program has recorded over 1.4 million pounds of fresh produce donations.

Volunteer groups helping with the harvest include: NDSU Master Gardener Program, Mandan FFA, Dakota Center for Independent Living, NDSU Extension Service, St. Anthony 4-H, North Dakota FFA, Community Options, Century High School, North Dakota Tourism, Boy Scout Troop 123, the University of Mary, the LDS Church and Missionaries, United Tribes Technical College and USDA Rural Development.

Additional sponsors helping make the harvest event possible were: Spiffy Biffs, Cloverdale, Morton County 4-H, Royse’s Twin City Produce, United Printing, USDA-ARSPA Northern Great Plains Research Lab, Sara Lee/Bimbo Bakeries, Bismarck Parks & Rec, Farm Credit Services of Mandan and Northern Plains Potato Growers Association.

Organic matter is ingredient for healthy soil

The productive capacity of soil directly correlates to the amount of organic matter available was the message at the Building for the Future Beef Cattle and Forage Field Day held Aug. 24, at the Dickinson Research Extension Center ranch. Producers from across western North Dakota heard presentations from North Dakota State University extension personnel, professors and researchers.

Cropping systems research began at the DREC in 2004 and data has shown soil can be improved while providing options for producers. DREC animal scientist Doug Landblom, who has headed up much of the research, told producers, “Soil organic matter is the very heart and soul of improvement in soil quality. The other thing we looked at was some of the utilization of these integrated crop and livestock systems and net returns that are coming off of these fields at the end of the grazing season.”

Landblom said the research has found “different ways of doing things and in today’s agricultural environment, anytime we can do something that’s a little bit different that may lend itself to greater profitability, we kind of like to go that direction.”

One big improvement that cropping systems and cover crops have shown is the increase in underground microbial action, which provides a steady stream of nutrients to plants.

“Soil nutrients are made available over time during the growing season, rather than right away at any one particular time,” Landblom said. “That translates into savings in fertilizer so

(James Odermann photo) in the cropping that we’re studying, we’re not applying any additional fertilizer to these fields and the yields are quite impressive actually.”

Dr. Larry Cihacek, NDSU soil scientist, spoke of organic matter as “the sponge, the reservoir, a revolving account that provides nutrients to plants . . . and the nutrients required for plants are also needed for microorganisms.”

Producers toured a cover crop field that contained 13 different plant species and a cornfield in which steers were grazing. They dug plants and soil to see root structure and pathways for moisture. The presence of earth-

The NDCBU would act like a post office box system, where each address would get a key to their box and would be able to access it whenever they needed.

The setup would also come with parcel lockers for larger package deliveries.

Residents would not have box numbers though, they would simply use their physical, 911 address.

Following the 30-day period, Shelton would have to organize a lease agreement to place the NDCBU at the courthouse, if that’s the option selected. It will also have to be presented to the county commissioners, according to Slope County Auditor Lorrie Bazulsky.

Shelton said he will continue to keep the town informed through the mayor.

“I will keep the mayor informed as far as what we are doing,” Shelton said.

worms, Landblom said, were indications of healthy soil that was feeding below ground life forms.

The DREC research effort shows the symbiotic effects of livestock and agronomic production, DREC director Dr. Kris Ringwall said. “This research is particularly interesting because of all the diversity that we are looking at in agriculture and the integration of crops, livestock and soil health. And, it’s an interesting concept that is proving to be quite profitable.”

He added, “What it comes down to is the soil health, having a large variety of organisms that help make soil productive.”

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

Pioneer’s Open Air Market finds success in first year

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

In its first year, the Prairie Pioneer Open Air Market seemed to uncover a niche within the community last weekend.

While there were some unavoidable issues with the market — the main produce vendor pulled out at the last minute — many people turned out Aug. 27 at the Bowman City Park to see what it was all about.

Thirteen vendors sold items varying from household antiques and handcrafted woodwork to baked goods and fresh meats. The vendors filled the park as people from around the area shopped and enjoyed live music, their children get-

ting their faces painted and playing at the playground.

The market was originally slated to span the whole weekend, but many of the vendors had sold out of their items and wouldn’t be returning for the second day. There was no option but to cancel the market for Sunday.

The market was held by the Bowman County Pioneer, which handed out free ice cream on Saturday, donated by Frontier Travel Center in Bowman. Live entertainment was provided by Brian and Lauren Holder of Bowman, along with a performance featuring local children by Jackie Freitag.

Because of the success in its inaugural year, the Prairie Pioneer Open Air Market will be returning soon.

Baesler: Trust fund helps local schools

School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler said she is grateful that a state trust fund is expected to increase its support for North Dakota education by $80.5 million in the next two years, which may be the largest increase in state history.

Recent estimates forecast that the Common Schools Trust Fund will provide $286.6 million for local schools during the 2017-19 biennium, a 39 percent in-

crease over the present aid figure of $206.1 million. The fund’s contribution to education has more than tripled in the last decade.

The trust fund money is included in a state formula that is used to calculate aid payments to school districts.

Schools received $9,365 per student during the 2015-16 school year. The payment is rising to $9,646 this fall.

Baesler said the rise in the trust fund’s contribution

will help the Legislature meet its commitment to education spending while providing a lesser drawdown from North Dakota’s general fund. The general fund provides most of the state’s aid to K-12 schools. North Dakota’s general fund revenue growth has slowed because of lower commodity prices.

“This trust fund revenue is vital to our schools across North Dakota, especially during a time when our gen-

eral fund revenue growth is slowing down,” Baesler said. “The increase from the Common Schools Trust Fund helps to take the pressure off the general fund.”

Revenues for the Common Schools Trust Fund come from payments for energy exploration and production on state lands, income from leasing land for cattle grazing, money from a national tobacco lawsuit settlement, and investment

earnings. Helped by robust oil revenues and investment returns, the fund has grown from $1.22 billion in 2010 to more than $3.5 billion today.

Baesler is a member of the Board of University and School Lands, which oversees the fund and decides on how its assets are invested. Its other members are Gov. Jack Dalrymple, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, Secretary of State Al

Jaeger and Treasurer Kelly Schmidt. Dalrymple is chairman of the board.

The expected $286.6 million trust fund contribution to North Dakota schools in 2017-19 is much larger than any disbursement in the last 20 years, and is almost certainly the largest in state history. Twenty years ago, the biennial payment was $46.4 million. During the 2009-11 biennium, it was $77.2 million.

Bowman’s Sunrise Foundation honors scholarship recipients The Sunrise Foundation Board of Directors awarded four area college students with scholarships towards their healthcare education.

To qualify for the scholarship, college students must be from the counties of Bowman, Slope, Harding, or Adams. The scholarships are only awarded to college students who are pursuing a career in healthcare and have successfully completed all requirements for at least HOLT their freshman year of college.

OPINION

Your community’s views We want to hear from you. Send your Letters to the Editor via email to bmartin@countrymedia.net.

Live, Love, Learn: Gratitude challenge It’s a chilly August morning as I sit in front of my desktop computer in my windowless basement office, enjoying some hazelnut decaffeinated coffee, and praying that wisdom comes over me as I start typing this column.

Although it’s not the end or the beginning of the calendar year when we try to make New Year’s Resolutions, it’s still the beginning of school when we are settling back into a routine of sorts.

So in my mind, it may be the perfect time to bring up something that has been at the tip of my tongue lately.

Gratitude.

I don’t know when we started living in a world that was all about focusing on ourselves. How we are apparently experts in every conceivable occupation even though we may not have a shred of hands-on experience. Yet, it’s so easy for us to criticize, to hurt and condemn.

For instance, customers criticize retailers…the store is messy, employees are visiting too much… heck, I’ve worked in a store where a customer told our male boss that he needed to teach us girls how to use the vacuum cleaner. Have you ever considered there’s no room for freight in the backroom like there used to be, employee hours have been cut, the trucks are delivering more to keep up with your purchasing demands, or multitasking to assist customers often leads employees away from their other job responsibilities?

Wherever we turn, we hear criticism…the music at church or on the radio; how the newspaper reported this, but not that; how so-and-so missed the catch, the block, the shot; how someone may feel that it’s inappropriate to post your happiness on facebook when there’s been a tragedy.

I could go on with endless examples, but I think you get the

By LORI SOLA

Bowman County Pioneer Yes, I’ve been guilty of this too…well not the believing I’m an expert, but I’ve been known to express my opinions, but who hasn’t?

The important thing is to recognize our mistakes, apologize for them, and make a conscience decision to change our attitude. Incorporate kindness and appreciation.

This goes both ways…those low on the totem pole and those who sit on the highest part of that pole.

idea.

Luckily there are those rare gems who swoop in with a plate of goodies while expressing their appreciation of your hard work or surprise you with a flower outside your door. Yes, you’d be amazed how far treats or a pretty flower go to brighten one’s day. A small act of kindness truly has a ripple affect on the rest of the day and even the week.

But what leaves even a bigger impression is voicing your gratitude and giving encouragement.

While on vacation this summer, Scott and I rollerbladed every morning and refueled afterwards with a smoothie and the most delicious monster cookies.

Anyway, the gal who was behind the counter three out of the four days we were there was charming and charismatic. My day was brightened just because she was so happy! After she took our order, I told her how much I appreciated

that she enjoyed her job so much.

She just beamed from one ear to the other.

However, our gratitude shouldn’t be reserved just for those who bring us joy. We should show our gratitude to those who touch our lives in ways we probably don’t even think about …the person who is stocking the shelves, running the register, answering the phones, coming to our rescue, cleaning the floors…we are always surrounded by hard workers who need that extra little word or two letting them know what they do matters. Words of kindness can linger long after they’ve been said.

My challenge to you (and to myself ) is to find one person every day in which to express gratitude.

One person. Take note in their reaction. Then take note on your reaction to theirs. Pretty soon you’ll fall into a new routine of expressing gratitude and you’ll be blessed as well.

Hat Tips: Horse sales

By DEAN MEYER

Bowman County Pioneer

As ranchers, we spend a lot of time around horse people. Whether it is rodeo friends, ranch friends, or horse traders.

Growing up, horse sales were something that you didn’t miss. If you were a young cowboy with a saddle, you could hang around a horse sale and make pretty good money riding horses through the ring for their owners. Or as a young cowboy, you might be able to pick up a horse that you could start riding and turn a little profit after a month or two.

And you also had a chance to see some great horse traders or hear stories about horse trades.

One of my favorites was the rancher who was holding a production sale. The first colt that came through was selling pretty high.

The owner stopped the sale, and announced, “This colt isn’t worth near this much money”” He then

going to try this horse that was for sale. The owner, being more honest than many horse traders, told him this might not be the horse for him.

“He may buck. He spooks at his tail. If you walk up on him unexpected, he may kick you. But if you can get by him for a couple hours, he’s a pretty dang good ranch horse and will put in a days work.”

The buyer looked the horse over and asked, “If I ride him hard for a month or two, or maybe a year or so, do you think my wife or son would be able to use him?”

“Absolutely not”, the rancher said.

“Good,” the buyer exclaimed!

“I’ll take him.”

proceeded to give the colt to a young boy who had bid on the colt early but had quit bidding when it got too high! The rest of the rancher’s colts sold like they were the last colts in the world.

At Ekalaka a couple weeks ago heard a story about a guy that was selling a horse. The potential buyer went along for a ride to try the horse out.

As they were leaving the yard, the horse stubbed a toe and stumbled.

The owner looked over and said, “He’s never done that before!”

A little later the horse stumbled again, “Damn! He’s never done that before!”

Just as they rode into the yard the horse flat out stumbled, fell completely down, and dumped the rider off.

The owner calmly looked down at the once potential buyer and calmly announced, “That is what he usually does!”

Then there was the guy that was

Archery deer hunting has expanded in popularity in North Dakota over the years. Even as deer numbers have fallen from record highs a decade ago, bow license sales have increased.

With North Dakota’s archery deer season opening Friday, Sept. 2 at 12 noon Central time, it’s a good time for a few reminders on some rules and regulations that apply to bow hunting.

Deer Bow Licenses: All resident deer bow licenses, and nonresident licenses for white-tailed deer only, are issued electronically through vendors participating in the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s online licensing system, at the Game and Fish website and Bismarck office, or by calling 800-

By DOUG LEIER

N.D. Game and Fish 406-6409.

The big thing to remember here is that if you buy a bow license over the phone or on the Game and Fish website, you’ll have to wait to hunt until you receive the physical tag in the mail, which could take several days.

Tagging Requirements Hunters must tag all big game animals, not just

deer, immediately after the animal is retrieved. In other words, the first thing you must do when you walk up to your deer is tag it.

I can’t emphasize this enough. I’ve seen some examples and heard many stories that relate to hunters who take a photo with their phone, and even post that image online, before they put the tag on their deer. If a game warden would see such an image, how would they know the deer was ever tagged?

Tag your deer before you take a photo, and you’ll never have to worry about a misunderstanding.

Tree Stands Tree stands set up on private land in North Dakota don’t have much for restrictions beyond what the landowner might require.

Pastor’s Corner

Messengers of comfort and hope

From the letter to the Hebrews, we get this beloved verse, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it (Hebrews 13:2). The biblical Greek word, pronounced “angelos”, which is used in this verse and throughout bible, is often translated as angel. This word angelos, can be defined as messenger. We know of many examples of angels in the bible. Named or unnamed, angels are God’s messengers or agents.

I have often had encounters with angels. And before I sound too out there, let me explain. I’m not talking about the supernatural kind of angels. Rather, I’m talking about the everyday people who happen to bring a message from God for me that day. Often, the message that God has for me is a one of comfort.

One example, is the story

By PASTOR MARY WIGGINS of the stranger who brought me coffee. In 2008, my hometown in Colorado was hit by a freak EF-3 tornado.

It left the east side of the town with extensive damage to both homes and trees. It also had, unfortunately, left us with no working vehicles, no electricity, and a great deal of anxiety. In the darkness of that first night, none

of us slept at all.

That morning, my aunt, my cousin, and myself went outside to talk with the National Guardsmen stationed at a roadblock outside my house. While I was out there, I spotted a man, who came running towards us with a thermos. When he reached us, he then asked if we would like some coffee.

And we certainly did! It was a small act, but in that moment, it felt like it was heaven sent. That cup of coffee, which traveled from the next town over, provided a little comfort and assurance that I was not alone. The kindness of a stranger in a time of hardship, helped to remind me that God’s love was real.

I feel that God often uses other people to remind oth-

Bowman County High School made a change for its annual Meet the Players event.

This year, it was held indoors in order to accommodate guest speaker Dr. Rod Jonas, Dean, Liffrig Family School of Education and Behavioral Science at the University of Mary. He spoke on the importance of grit and reminded parents and athletes of the value of failure and struggle in building character and strength. The parents and students in attendance thanked him with a standing ovation. Afterward players and parents were treated to burgers.

So close: Bowman, 6, Lemmon, 8

By GREG YALE

The 2016 non-region season came to an end, as Bowman County played host to Lemmon/McIntosh here on Friday night. Though it looked like rain or lightning would possibly put an end to the game early, it turned out to be a really nice evening for the players to compete.

Lemmon’s kicker booted the opening game kickoff into the endzone, and the Bulldogs would go three and out from their own 20. The ensuing punt would start the Cowboys first drive from their own 40 yard line. They would be held to a three and out by the Bulldogs defense and punt it back to the Bulldogs at their own 11. The Cowboys defense would hold yet again, and the Dogs were forced to punt from their own 20.

Lemmon/McIntosh would make good use of their second possession starting at their own 37 yard line, and after a couple of 1st downs, they would be knocking on the doorstep with 1st and 10 at the Bulldog 15. A staunch defensive effort would result in a couple of sacks, taking the Cowboys back to the Bulldog 28. There on a critical 4th down play, the Bulldogs would come up with another sack, and take over on the 38 where they would fumble the ball right back to the Cowboys on their first play from scrimmage.

The Dogs would dig in though, and as the second quarter got underway, they would get the stop they needed to get the ball back.

After another three and out deep in their own end, the Bulldogs would punt the ball back to the Cowboys at midfield. Lemmon/McIntosh would take over from there and move the ball to the Bulldog 14, but the drive would again stall out, and the Bulldogs took over.

The Bulldogs would net a couple of first downs and a long pass to a Bulldog receiver would go incomplete

One play later, the Cowboys would flip the field again with a big 33 yard run, but their drive would stall after a

fumble at the Bulldog 5 yard line. The Dogs would kneel to take a 0 to 0 score into the half. Spirits were high to be in the game with a Cowboy team that had man-handled

us in the previous year’s contest. We were struggling, but we were in the game, and we believed we could stay in the game.

Lemmon would go three

and out on their opening possession of the second half and be forced to punt from their own 32 yard line.

It was an exciting game, that kept you in your seat until the end, but unfortunately for the Bulldogs, it once again ended in a loss.

On a brighter note, the Bulldog JV and Jr. High continued their winning ways, as the JV’s won a close battle with the Richardton/Taylor/ Hebron Raiders by a score of 28-20 and the Jr High won their first 11-man contest in Baker by a score of 12 to 0.

Cross country opens season with high hopes

By JONATHAN JAHNER

“Our depth will be an advantage that we have over most teams in the state.”

Explained Coach Jonathan Jahner.

In the JV race the depth continued as Austin Richard, led the JV crew followed by Ben Knopp, Noah Wokal, and Kevin Fischer. “We saw a lot of good things. Added Coach Lora Miller. “we saw major improvement in times from last year, so that is always a good sign.” The bulldogs are ranked #5 in this week’s cross country poll.

The girls team returns all of their runners from the State Runner-up of a year ago. Even with a new season, and a new race distance of 5000m; the bulldogs are hoping for some familiarity, and that is just what they got on opening day. Lacey Feist resumed the leadership role she had all of 2015, by finishing 9th at the Douglas Invite in a time of

Friday marked the beginning of the 2016 XC competition season as the bulldogs traveled to Ellsworth Air Force Base to compete in the Douglas High School Invite.

The bulldogs raced some unfamiliar foes, as they were the only North Dakota team competing against western South Dakota schools.

If the first race is any indication, the bulldogs will be looking for continued success throughout the season.

The boys team lost the services of Alex Bartholomay and Brayden Miller, but return a very balanced squad. Mason Moran led the bulldogs on Friday, closely followed by Andrew Miller, Brian Miller, Camden Wokal, Kamrin Madrigal, and Ethan Fischer. The six varsity runners finished in 4th place, behind perennial powers Rapid City Stevens, Custer, and Spearfish.

sive race at 22:22, followed

by Alexius Miller, Abigail Bartholomay, and Brooke Peterson. The ladies team

finished in 2nd place behind Rapid City Stevens. Coach Dakota Wolf explained, “So many of them ran with such confidence, and a goal in mind which is great to see so early in the season.” That confidence, coupled with experience are only the beginning of a bright start for the 2nd ranked lady bulldogs.

The JV race was highlighted by a pair of 8th graders, as Jocelyn Kulseth and Vanessa Fischer teamed up to finish in 8th and 9th places.

Behind them Brenna Wokal, Becki Fuchs, and Quin McKitrick rounded out the scoring for the JV team. Audrey Lazzara completed the first race of her career and was followed up by Michaela Fischer and Myia Zook.

The bulldogs next meet will be Thursday, September 1st at 9:00am, when they host eh Bowman County Early Bird at Sweetwater Golf Course.

be some PLOTS tracts where the habitat and condition of the tract will have changed significantly. Conversely, Game and Fish may have added new tracts to the program after the guide went to press.

To minimize possible confusion, Game and Fish will update PLOTS map sheets weekly on its website.

The PLOTS Guide features maps highlighting these walk-in areas, identified in the field by inverted

triangular yellow signs, as well as other public lands.

The guides are free, and will be available at license vendors in the state; by walk-in at the Game and Fish Department’s Bismarck office; and at district offices in Riverdale, Harvey (Lonetree), Williston, Dickinson, Jamestown and Devils Lake.

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

Football: Night Hawks lose to Richardton-Taylor

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Pioneer

Prior to the Night Hawk, Richardton-Taylor football game I listened to the pregame radio broadcast put on by KNDC. Head coach Randy Burwick said that we haven’t won against the Raiders in the last 12 games.

Well, make it 13 now.

The game started out as if Night Hawk Isaiah Kludt would have another good rushing day, like he had against Wyndmere-Lidgerwood. On the Night Hawks’ first possession of the game, he took the handoff from Jaxon Mellmer and weaved through the Raiders’ defenders and ran it in for a 59-yard touchdown. Later in the second quarter, Mellmer would find Kludt for a 29-yard touchdown pass and the Night Hawks were up 12-0.

Richardton-Taylor scored with only seconds left in the first half on an 8-yard run by junior Matthew Naumann.

On this drive the buccaneers benefited from a penalty on a late hit by the Night Hawks.

The Night Hawk defense was playing much better than in their opening game, but penalties were hurting them.

In the second half Richardton-Taylor outscored the Night Hawks 22-8, with a personal foul on a Night Hawk keeping another Raider drive alive. The lone Night Hawk touchdown was a pass that a Buccaneer defensive back tipped, and an alert Kludt caught it for a 47-yard score.

One of the biggest plays for Richardton-Taylor was on a third down, and deep in their own territory, with quarterback Brandon Butterfield evading a sacked and to find a wide open Nau-

mann on a screen pass who scampered 81 yards for a touchdown. Butterfield finished out the game with a 3-yard scoring run with 16 seconds left in the game.

The Raiders converted the two-point conversion and pulled out the 28-20 victory.

Although Kludt ran for

NIGHT HAWKS

Volleyball team opens with win

The Night Hawk volleyball team opened their 2016 season with a win in Scranton over Killdeer, a fellow Region 7 opponent. They jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead in the initial set but Killdeer came back on their serve and took the lead and maintained it as they pulled out a 25-22 win.

The rest of the match belonged to the Night Hawks as they fought back to win set two by a 26-24 score and easily won the next two sets by the identical scores of 25-15.

The Night Hawks hustled all the way and made some difficult digs as well as keeping loose balls alive on their side of the net. Killdeer managed to stay with them at times but the Night Hawks were relentless in keeping many volleys alive until getting the point.

The Night Hawks are not a tall team as their main spikers were Abbie Kludt and Molly Holt, both probably around 5-foot-7. But this team hustles constantly and leaves it all on the court. If you haven’t been to a volleyball match for awhile, come out and check this team out.

You won’t be disappointed.

They are a relatively a young team as they start three seniors, two sophomores and one freshman.

The “C” squad won their match by scores of 25-14 and 25-12. I felt Ebony Musonda, Talia Carter and Byrnn Honeyman lead them to victory. Musonda has an uncanny ability to tap the ball to an area where the opposing team could not return it.

The Junior Varsity squad lost their match by scores of 26-24 and 25-19. In the first set they fell behind early but kept battling back and were ahead 24-21 but Killdeer scored the next five points to pull it out.

game leading 167 yards, after his first score Richardton-Taylor’s smothering defense kept him in check from any long runs.

Butterfield had a decent game as he went 7-10 in passing good for 170 yards.

His lone interception came from Kludt in the first quarter.

I had Night Hawk Damon Cornelius with the lone Night Hawk sack.

Up next for the Night Hawks is against Lemmon, at Lemmon on Sept. 2.
