USDA designates Bowman County as natural disaster area Months-long drought wreaks havoc on crops
By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor
Bowman County farmers spent the last several months staring at the skies, hoping for rain. But it would seldom come, creating this
year one of longest droughts seen in recent years for area farmers. Because of the severity of the drought conditions, which existed through planting, growing and harvest seasons, the U.S. Department of Agriculture designated Bowman County as a primary natural disaster area. Losses caused by the drought were widespread throughout the area. The most crucial portion of the drought occurred during planting. “Our hearts go out to those
North Dakota farmers and ranchers affected by recent natural disasters,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement released this week. “President Obama and I are committed to ensuring that agriculture remains a bright spot in our nation’s economy by sustaining the successes of America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities through these difficult times. We’re also telling North Dakota producers that USDA stands with
you and your communities when severe weather and natural disasters threaten to disrupt your livelihood.” The drought spread to nearby areas effecting farmers and ranchers in the adjacent counties of Adams and Slope and in Fallon County, Mont., and Harding County, S.D., which also qualified for natural disaster assistance since the counties are contiguous. The counties were designated natural disaster areas on Sep. 15,

making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low interest emergency loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency, provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability.

Big lineup slated for 14th Rural Women conference By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor
Wade and Chrissy Blankenbaker have lived in Bowman for the last 11 years, during that time becoming active members of the community. Now they plan to bring a stylish, sophisticated service to Bowman with their latest endeavor, Lucky’s Liquor.
By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor
Wade and Chrissy Blankenbaker are hoping to get lucky — that is, with the opening of their new liquor store, Lucky’s Liquor. But what they hope will set their store apart is an extra-wide selection, contemporary atmosphere and special events, all catered to those 21 and up.
“We pride ourselves on being unique,” Chrissy Blankenbaker, 34, said. As active members of the community, the Blankenbakers sought to bring something new to the area. Opening a liquor store in a place with several already, however, was going to be a challenge. One of the best ways to ensure its relevance would be to offer something different for customers. The couple didn’t shy away from that
task, as they believed they would be able to offer something beyond the norm. The biggest distinction of Lucky’s, according to Chrissy Blankenbaker, who will manage the store — while maintaining her full-time position at Southwest Heathcare Services — is the plan to offer wine tastings, something not seen in the immediate area. Those tastings will high-

project and how it reflects a united spirit of the community.
Passersby likely have taken notice of the large-scale project to reconstruct Bowman Lutheran Church’s ailing roof. What started as a mere construction project, however, turned into a chance for the community to come together for a simple goal; its greater effects, as explained by Pastor Mark Nygard, being considerable for the heart and soul of the community. The Pioneer had a chance to chat with Nygard this week about the
Bowman County Pioneer: To begin, why was the roof needing to be redone? Pastor Mark Nygard: The old roof was wooden shakes that were warped and being blown loose by the wind. We would regularly find shakes on the lawn, and it seemed only a question of time before we would find ourselves with leaks.

Nygard: Since it was done during the summertime, there was minimal disruption of the kind of education activities that we run in the winter. A very sympathetic roofing team was willing to stop work for funerals, weddings, and worship events. One hard rainstorm before the roof was quite finished left us with considerable water in the halls around the sanctuary and some dripping within the sanctuary itself. Blowers and dehumidifiers were necessary to dry the place out again, but beyond a couple of wrinkled hymnal pages and con-
firmation pictures there was little permanent damage. Pioneer: What is the date of the roof 's completion? Nygard: The project is technically not yet completed. The first and perhaps biggest part of the project involved the reshingling of the slanted parts of the roof, and that was completed around the beginning of August. The vertical parts joining roof to roof had previously been covered with shakes as if they were part of the roof itself, but now require a different surface

OSHA anhydrous policy change struck down
A federal appeals court has struck down the recent policy change by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that would have forced retail facilities selling anhydrous ammonia to comply with Process Safety Management (PSM) rules, rules historically aimed at manufacturers. The lawsuit was brought by the Agricultural Retailers Association and The Fertilizer Institute, charging that OSHA failed to go through formal rulemaking procedures before it implemented the policy change. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring was pleased with the ruling. “OSHA must incorporate stakeholder feedback and develop best management practices before making a decision to change this longstanding policy,” said Goehring. “The proprietors and the employees of affected facilities are entitled to have a voice regarding this new policy. These industry representatives and farmers have legitimate points to make and very practical feedback to provide.” A formal rule-making process could take several years, during which ag retailers will remain exempt from compliance with PSM rules. “While this is a great win for agriculture, we still have to be engaged as this issue is not dead,” Goehring continued. “OSHA has already begun their rulemaking and will be bringing this back in the form of a proposed rule in the future.” If the rule were eventually implemented, it could force as many as one-third of North Dakota small- and mediumsized operators out of business due to the cost of implementation.

such a project—special gifts, bequests, memorials, etc. But well over half the project needed to be raised as new money in additional to regular Sunday morning offerings. The church council appointed a chairperson, David Helland, who invited other church members, Deb Patterson and Bob White, to join him as a sort of roofing subcommittee. They named the project, “Raising the Roof,” and divided a satellite picture of the roof into 614 squares to help the congregation visualize the size of the task and a contributor’s impact toward the goal. The committee envisioned every organization in the congregation arranging some sort of fund-raiser to ensure breadth of participation. For example five families hosted a Relaxing Evening Garden Tour with proceeds to go to the roof campaign. In fact, support by donors, large and small, came so quickly and spontaneously that further fundraising efforts proved unnecessary. Pioneer: Your congregation seems to come together when things are needed to be done. Is this indicative of Bowman as a whole in your opinion? Nygard: I would say that needs that are real and local command the finest efforts of our congregation.

Pioneer: Anything you would like to add... Nygard: What is it that is really important in life? Probably not medals, money, or moments of glory. Probably, rather, relationships with family, friends, and God. The church is a bunch of people who cultivate those relationships in a special and enduring way. A good church roof makes for a secure and comfortable place for that to happen. Through its new roof Bowman Lutheran has just invested in a future for such enduring relationships.

Pioneer: What is the future for Bowman Lutheran? Are there further projects in
At the same time his congregation is two years into an effort to establish a clearer mission statement of what we would like to accomplish in the world. We have made some first steps towards this, and we have accomplished some things and attempted some others, but we are still a ways from articulating very well what impact a congregation of our history and influence might challenge itself to make for good in the world. An interesting project right now is an effort to make contact with some partner churches of the ELCA in Senegal and The Gambia, West Africa. On Oct. 27, four members of the parish, two from Bowman and two from Amidon will spend 11 days of travel and diplomacy with Lutherans in young churches in those countries. We hope that the effort will broaden our understanding of what the church is and where it ministers.

Pioneer: What is it about Bowman's people that you find most appealing? Nygard: I love visiting with our people, one on one. I love my ministry at Southwest Healthcare where such visiting is so appreciated. I love it when I can stop by a parishioner’s home or farm and just share a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, the absence of an associate pastor just now considerably diminishes the amount of time I have available for these moments. I also love the land that we find ourselves in and enjoy so much hiking the pastures, breaks, and buttes of our geography. I think I share my love of this land with many in our community.
the works? Special programs for youth? Nygard: Bowman Lutheran represents the vigorous Lutheran tradition of Gospel-bearing to this community. It has embedded in its constitution, the hearts of its people, and its relationship with the wider Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) a deep commitment to a message that finds exhilarating Good News in the work of Christ and a restless yearning to share that Good News with folks around us. With that sort of basic commitment it is hard not to foresee long-term engagement by the church. On the other hand this is a corrosive time for the Church of Christ. A number of forces in our society, good and bad, have a tendency to diminish commitment to church life, including worship, service, contribution, and vision. Bowman Lutheran shares in the challenges and possibilities of this time, and attentiveness and alertness are required for us to fulfill our mission. For over 20 years Bowman Lutheran has employed a staff person specially with youth ministry in mind. Sharon Holder has run a Kids’ Klub after school Wednesdays, mobilized youth and others to create and distribute hundreds of cookies at Christmas, led over hundreds of youth to synod and national youth assemblies in such places as Dickinson, Bismarck, and Minot, but also New Orleans, Detroit, and Houston. This ministry is a basic and unquestioned part of the congregations’ witness.

to pass on to our children, the possibility that early responders we actually know in our community may not have the equipment necessary—these are the kind of things that galvanize the generosity of our congregation and, I suspect, from my limited experience, our community. At the same time, needs that are located farther from our area require more imagination and effort to be met by our people. A disaster in a distant part of the world, a basic change in the environment that we are not in control of, a refugee from a culture we do not know and speaking a language we do not understand—these challenges, just as critical, require much more energy for our people to invest in them.

Bowman Community Chorus begins rehearsals
Students of the Month ■ Scranton High School
In September, Scranton students were acknowledged for the character attribute of “Respect” (treating others the way you want to be treated; showing kindness and consideration; accepting others for who they are). The winners include Irish Morris (7th), Casitee Miller (8th), Steven Hutzenbiler (9th), Conner Haman (10th), Elizabeth Holzkamm (11th), Morgan Hutzenbiler (12th).
The Bowman Community Chorus will be starting rehearsals at 7:45 p.m. Oct. 12 in the Bowman County High School Music Room. This year’s concert will mark the 58th year of performing during the Christmas season. The first half of the concert will feature the cantata, “Night of the Father’s Love,” by Pepper Choplin, which is a favorite from several years ago. It features many new, unique songs and some very nice arrangements of traditional carols. The concert is scheduled for Dec. 4 at Bowman Lutheran Church with two concerts at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. The second half of the concert will be made up of several new arrangements and some favorites from the past years’ concerts. The Saxy Brass will again be performing the prelude and at intermission and also accompanying the chorus with one number. A youth choir will be featured in one song entitled, “Look Who Just Checked In,” and will be featured in the concert closer, “Let There Be Peace On Earth,” which the chorus has closed many concerts with in years past. The chorus is made up of many veteran singers from Bowman, Scranton, Rhame and Buffalo and the surrounding area and usually numbers over 50 members. New members are always welcome and young singers from the area schools are encouraged to participate to help start the Christmas season for the entire area. Come join the chorus and enjoy great Christmas music and help make this year’s concert a memorable one.
Baesler: Help improve North Dakota education By KIRSTEN BAESLER N.D. Public Instruction
In May I announced that the Department of Public Instruction was beginning the process of revising North Dakota’s academic standards for math and English. These new standards will replace the standards adopted in 2011 based on the Common Core. Since May, two committees comprised of North Dakota teachers have met and completed the first draft of standards for public comment and external review. In addition to the standards being released for public comment so all citizens may provide feedback, NDDPI has also created a review committee comprised of community leaders, business, industry and labor, and the general public to provide input to our teachers on the standards. At least two more drafts of the standards will be released
5x7
for public comment, with the third and possibly final draft to be released in March 2017. The final draft will be implemented beginning the 2017-2018 school year. Based on these new standards, a bidding process will be initiated for a state assessment that will measure students’ ability with these new standards. The bidding process will include the recommendations provided to me by the State Assessment Task Force which I convened in 2015. The 2016 standards revision of our math and English standards presents an opportunity to update two of the most essential subjects as we transition into the education demands of the 21st Century. The teachers developing the next version of our standards are not bound to keeping or removing certain standards as they work to revise and update the standards. It is entirely within
the power of North Dakota teachers on the committees to make as many or as few modifications as they deem necessary. Aside from the timeline for the drafts to be released and revised, teachers have no mandates placed on them regarding their work. This intellectual freedom ensures that our teachers have the opportunity to create a set of standards that they believe is best for our students to prepare them academically for life. At the same time, the teachers are accountable to community leaders and to the public as their work is reviewed by any North Dakotan that wishes to have input during the review process. This model balances the need for professional involvement in the standards with the critical element of community involvement in the education of our students. The revision of North Dakota’s academic standards in math and English

is a necessary process to ensure that our students will not fall behind as gains in global content knowledge and instructional theory surpass the standards that have been adopted. The standards adoption process being used in North Dakota ensures that the standards to which we hold our students account-
able is crafted by our own teachers and guided by our cultural context of community, business and industry and the general public. The first drafts of the proposed new standards are posted on the NDDPI website. I encourage every North Dakotan to review them and provide comment. We are

for his support on initiatives to help farmers and ranchers maintain their operations and sell their products, including the following. Hoeven secured a new $5 million, nationwide pilot program in the Senate’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Agriculture Appropriations bill to improve the fairness of the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) payment calculations. The program provides state Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices a role in ensuring accurate yield determinations and allows the
offices to fix any inaccuracies between comparable counties by using an alternate calculation method. The senator pressed Vilsack to provide this flexibility to prevent inadequate ARC payments to farmers in affected counties, as happened to farmers in LaMoure and Logan counties for the 2014 crop year. Hoeven thanked Vilsack for joining the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in launching a new trade enforcement challenge against China.

Almost ready for play — The new playground at the School of Promise in Bowman nears completion, with most of the equipment in place and the surface cured. (Pioneer Photo by Bryce Martin)
Community members keep roundthe-clock eye on playground By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor
It was so important that the School of Promise’s newest investment — a brightly colored playground now resting to the south of its building — be protected that a group of determined community members volunteered hours of their day and night to watch over it, for almost 24 hours. Robin Welch of Bowman, who sits on the School of Promise’s Board of Directors, took to Facebook last week to organize a group of volunteers after the company laying the rubber floor of the playground had finished laying the top, blue layer, allowing it to sit and cure for 24 hours, undisturbed. Welch successfully gained a full group of people to cover all 24 hours of the guard duty. “The guys working on the project said we didn't need to watch it that long,” Welch said Wednesday. “But, they did think watching it was a good idea.” According to Welch, the construction crew had a location a few weeks ago where someone went over the fence and walked through the surface and it had to be redone. Because of a delivery glitch, the volunteer schedule had to change, she said.
Still, Welch said it was amazing to have all the support. The Bowman City Police Department also helped out through their nightly patrols, just to ensure nothing was bothering the surface, providing an extra sense of security. “A huge thank you to all
the volunteers and to the police,” Welch said. “It’s great being in a community full of people who support our School of Promise.” The new playground has been an important project for the school, according to Justin Abrahamson, president of the board of direc-
tors, because it will fulfill certain needs to stimulate and even soothe its young students.

Anne’s story is a powerful example of how change happens and her passion in life is helping others move out of their comfort zones in order to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Marji Guyler-Alaniz, president and founder of FarmHer, is a lifetime Iowan and lover of photography. That love, combined with graphic design, journalism, and photography degrees from Grand View University, an 11-year career in corporate agriculture and an MBA from Drake University led her to launch FarmHer in the spring of 2013. Through FarmHer she is updating the image of agriculture by showing the female side of farming, creating community amongst women in agriculture and outreach to young women interested in agriculture.

Jessie Veeder has been a symbol of folk music in the badlands of Western North Dakota since she released her first album “This Road”, when she was only sixteen years old. Veeder’s most recent project, “Northern Lights” is a Nashville album that has been defined as “American Magic” and some of Jessie’s best work yet. She is currently touring on behalf of “Northern Lights” and is continuing to work on the 100-year-old family ranch on the Veeder homestead and as a weekly columnist for statewide newspapers.

explained. “It will be a place for people to come, sample, hangout, and explore,” she said. Lucky’s will be positioned immediately north of Subway along Highway 85 in Bowman. Construction on the new building has progressed quickly, with the footings already poured. Blankenbaker said she plans to have the store open before New Year’s, one of the chief holidays to include alcohol in celebrations. “We’ve already gotten excellent feedback from community members,” she said. She acknowledged that the two are mindful of the store’s surroundings — a church, schools, residential neighborhoods — but she stressed that the goal is to keep the store safe and clean, while helping ensure the adult beverages don’t fall into the hands of the underage. The location was crucial, however, as it takes advantage of the highway traffic and, as she explained, prime land in Bowman is difficult to come by. They wanted to remain local in Bowman, where they’ve lived and raised their three daughters for the past 11 years. “Bowman is our home. It’s what’s important to us,” she said. “And we wanted to add something valuable to the community.” With such an assortment of wine, beer, liquor, mixers and barware, though, the two, along with their two silent partners, are seeking to extend their service over the wide, tri-state region, all the while doing what they can to give back and support their communities. The permitting process on both the city and state levels has gone smoothly so once construction is complete, Lucky’s will open its doors and begin to provide exceptional service and variety for its customers, all with a modern, top-of-the-line flair.

Live, love, learn
Life without ‘normal’ television
For 13 years, Scott and I have watched television through Dish Network, a satellite company I’m sure many of you are familiar with. With all our By LORI SOLA moves over the Bowman County Pioneer years, it was just handy, reliable and less stressful to keep with the same company. One of my favorite things offered by many companies is the digital video recorder. We recorded everything. I had no clue what day shows aired. My shows were just magically available to watch whenever it was convenient for me. But the best part of having a DVR…fast forwarding through commercials. I rarely saw one and it’s amazing how quickly a show can be watched without someone trying to sell me something. For the past several years our household has also enjoyed Netflix, an online streaming video company that mails out DVDs too. Movies and television series can be watched simply by choosing something out of their library with no commercial interruption. You can even rate what you’ve viewed by a star-rating system and they’ll suggest other shows or movies you might enjoy. I find this very handy and I absolutely love when I get an email stating a new season from my favorite shows is waiting for me to watch. Over the past year or so, tho, I have been intrigued by my friends raving about Hulu, also an online subscription video on demand service. The jewel in Hulu’s crown is that you don’t have to wait an entire season to watch your show. You can watch it the following day after it’s been aired. And depending on how much you want to spend, you’ll either have commercials or no commercials to endure. Too many watching options! (I won’t even tell you about the one we have through Amazon.) So we looked closely at the costs of the different companies and took the plunge. We put Dish on hold and purchased a trial period of Hulu and downloaded the app. Then the summer Olympics aired. Oops. We didn’t consider live television. In this day and age I just figured we could buy an Olympic pass, but I never found one. You had to have some sort of television subscription. Needless to say, we didn’t catch much of the Olympics this year. Shawn and I did catch a five-minute window of gymnastics when the guy from France broke his leg. And when we were at a hotel for a couple nights we watched then too. I didn’t feel very patriotic this year as I mainly caught highlights in the evening and couldn’t be the avid watcher I usually am during the Olympics. I told Scott we better figure it out before the winter Olympics start in 2018. When we couldn’t watch the Olympics, I immediately asked about football. We aren’t die-hard fans, but I can’t imagine not catching some football action every week or not having our little family Super Bowl party. Luckily, I think Scott has figured something out with, you guess it, another app. We happened to do this change in the midst of decluttering or minimizing our possessions. So guess what? We sold one of our televisions, too. Our subscription to Dish is officially over, our television watching is now controlled by apps on our phones and we can still watch local news, weather and sports (if you call Bismarck local) online through the station’s website. Not having “normal” television at our fingertips has definitely decreased screen time around here (unless I’m on a Netflix binge) and that’s okay. There’s plenty of other things to do to occupy our time. Truth be known, tho, I love ending my day on the couch watching a show or two with my husband after our son has gone to bed. It’s the perfect way for me to unwind and quiet my mind.
Weather mod in Bowman County To correct the record, Wilber Brewer and Bill Fisher started researching the science of Weather Modification in 1959 and 1960. Together, they contacted meteorologists and pioneers in the field of “Cloud Seeding” to learn what they could to protect their crops. Once making a plan to start a program, they held meetings to see if there was an interest in reducing hail losses, and naturally, there was definitely an interest. They bought a North American AT-6 and a SNJ-5 and the wing tip generators and prepared to start a program in 1961 that would continue for 55 years in successfully reducing hail losses in Bowman County. Why did they bother? Farmers in the area lost 100% of their crop seven out of ten years in the middle 1950’s. Prior to the start of the program, hail insurance premiums were over $25.00 per $100.00 of coverage. No one could afford to insure at that rate and quite often would forego insuring against hail damage. So it would seem logical that trying a scientifically proven technique could save North Dakota_Layout 1 9/12/2013 1:41 PM Page 1
LETTER TO THE EDITOR many millions of dollars of farm profit at a far lesser cost than full bore premiums. When the project started, the cost was about $.03 per acre. Yes, three cents! In a short period of time the hail insurance premiums dropped to between $8.00 and $13.00 per $100.00 per acre. That’s a drop of over 50% in insurance premium costs which is about the same number statistically proven in reducing hail damage. Insurance company’s took serious notice of the reductions in damage and scientific research by the insurance company’s dictated a drop in premiums. Now and in the past, people opposed to Weather Modification have charged cloud seeding with “chasing the rain away” and other things equally without basis. They have no scientific proof of that charge. They have no peer reviewed studies that would uphold their claims. They’ve not conducted any scientific research to reach any conclusion or collected field trial data to see if their hypothesis has any basis year in and year out. Instead, their argument is “I don’t have to study this, I know what I see”. I wonder if they also believe the rabbit actually lives in the magicians hat? To be fair, there have been papers written claiming that cloud seeding reduces rainfall. But the authors of these papers are not pushing their theories in the academic world, nor basing their studies on 55 years of data or of more than 55 years of research and development. There
is no credible scientific basis in their ‘anti’ claims, period. The opposition folks are good people and mean well, looking at the sky and at the local radar, but they aren’t trained to interpret what they see. They only see what they want to see. No rain this summer? Blame it on cloud seeding they say. They’d be better off blaming El Nino. I wonder what the claims were in 2013, 2014 and 2015, years with above rainfall averages? My credentials? I’m the son of Bill Fisher, co-originator of the Bowman Slope Hail Suppression Program, with 12 years as a radar meteorologist in North Dakota, 2 years as a radar meteorologist in Texas, 4 years serving on the North Dakota Atmospheric Resource Board and life long user and beneficiary of a successful Cloud Seeding program. I am no stranger to this science. This general election, think about which argument has the most credible scientific evidence, the one with 55 years of continuing study and research improving the knowledge of cloud seeding, of sustained low insurance costs, scientifically proven 45% reduction in hail damage and more economic benefit, or the one with “I saw the rabbit come out of the hat”. I think I know which side you will choose.

comes to excellence. Paul was living in a time when the church was in its infancy. The church was made up of two groups of people: the Jews, who had descended from Abraham and who had learned to follow the laws of God; and the Gentiles, those people who lived in the surrounding countryside and neighboring lands but who were not a part of the Jewish community. Now these two groups had come together under the banner of Jesus Christ, but there were some kinks to work out. Should these new Jesusfollowing males undergo circumcision (a Jewish rite that had marked a person as a member of God’s family)? Should there be food prohibitions for these new Jesus followers, like the Jews had
obeyed? The great advice—the God-inspired advice—from Paul was this: “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:31) It doesn’t matter as much what external traditions we have followed—things that are a part of our own little cultures. It doesn’t matter if we sprinkle or pour or dip when we baptize. It doesn’t matter so much what we eat or drink. What truly matters is that we play the game well and play it fairly. Just like those 4th, 5th, and 6th grade girls, we play well when we do it with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. We may drop the ball a few times. We will not always make a basket. But we are living life excellently when we “do it all for the glory of God.” Ron Olson serves as pastor of Bowman United Methodist Church.

Living life with excellence I was at the Rec Center watching the 4th, 5th and 6th grade girls play bas-
ketball this week and I was impressed! These girls are scrappy! They play hard.
Lift Chairs In Stock
They run down hard on defense, they often steal the ball with their hard-pressing, relentless harassment of their opponents, and they scramble back to their own basket with reckless abandon! And while they don’t have the best shooting percentage yet (this will come with experience and practice) they just won’t give up! They just keep putting the ball up, and eventually it goes in! I couldn’t help thinking this morning that if we all played life like these girls played basketball, we’d be in pretty good shape!

SPORTS CROSS COUNTRY
Bowman County back to racing action The Bowman County Cross Country team was glad to get back into racing mode. They traveled Sept. 24 to Black Sands Golf Course to tangle at the West Region Preview Meet. With five races slated for the day, bulldogs of all ages got a taste of the action. The mighty mite race started the day of as elementary kids from grades two to six took on the mile course. Jeslyn Arpan led the charge for the young dawgs. She was closely followed by Bailey Peterson, Julie Sarsland, Raegen Honeyman, Kennedi Blankenbaker, Ryanne Kelly, and Emma Umbriet. The group of young runners did a great job as they got another taste of race action. The Varsity boys were up next, where the favorited New Town Eagles were the only team to best the bulldogs. On the strength of four runners in the top 20, the bulldogs beat third place Beulah-Hazen by nine points. Andrew Miller led the way for the bulldogs capturing 8th place. Camden Wokal traced his every steps, finishing close behind in 10th. Mason Moran (13th) and Kamrin Madrigal

The varsity girls once again made a statement,
placing five runners in the top 20, and all eight varsity runners in the Top 27, as they captured the team title by 55 points over Watford CIty. The depth of the bulldogs once again stood out, as other west region teams had trouble breaking into the pack of dawgs. Lacey Feist resumed her role as leader of the pack, placing in 4th, behind her a slew of young bulldogs made some noise. Natalie Kempenich placed fifth, while Alexius Miller placed seventh. The Bartholomay sisters once again wrapped up the scoring while earning Top 20 honors, as Mikayla placed 14th and Abigail 20th. Jocelyn Kulseth (24th), Vanessa Fischer (25th), and Brooke Peterson (27th) provided the much needed depth for the bulldogs. In the JV division, Brenna Wokal led the ladies team as she finished in 18th place, while Noah Wokal led the boys team. Next up for the Bulldogs will be a trip to Sturgis, as the Dawgs will battle their neighbors to the south at Fort Meade. Full schedule and results can be found on the Pioneer’s website, bowmanextra.com.
Bowman County’s defense goes in for a tackle with the Night Hawks holding the ball. The Bulldogs suffered a tough 24-0 loss Sept. 23 against Hettinger-Scranton. (Pioneer Photo by Jason Waskiewicz) The Bulldogs football team traveled to Scranton to take on the HettingerScranton Nighthawks Sept. 23. It was a misty and foggy night but that did not keep the fans for both teams from turning out. The Nighthawks came out on top with a 24-0 victory over the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs offense was held in check with only 39 yards passing, 48 yards rushing and only 6 first downs. The defense again played tough with a total of 61 tackles and two sacks by Nate Boehm. The defense was on the field for the majority of the game and came
through with a couple of tough goal line stands. Team Awards Offensive Player of the Week – Tristen Peterson Defensive Player of the Week – Brian Anaya Special Teams Player of the Week – Beau Jeffers

Lady Bulldogs score 3-2 victory in Homecoming game
By JENNIFER HOLECEK
After a big week away, Bowman returned last Thursday, Sept. 22 to the Solberg Gymnasium to take on Dickinson High JV. The girls pulled out a victory 3-2. The girls had to adjust to a new offense as one of the main setters, Kaylee Septon, was unable to play. Additionally, Kelsie Goodshield, normally middle blocker, played left side hitter as Lindsey Dix was also out. In spite of these setbacks, the Bulldogs fought hard to win. Notable statistics include Goodshield with 5 aces, Ellie Stafford with 11 kills, Josie Smyle with 23 assists, and Goodshield with 15 digs. The Bulldogs headed to Belle Fouche on Saturday and played some of the best teams in the state of SD. The Bulldogs took on Phillip, Hill City, and Lead-Deadwood in pool play. While the Dawgs didn’t win any of
their matches, they certainly played some of their most impressive volleyball of the season against these teams. Our coaching staff felt it was great preparation for our big game homecoming week against New England. The Bulldogs hadn’t played New England, but had watched them at the Watford City tournament earlier in the season. The girls knew New England would be a challenging team. The volleyball team came out smoking hot in the first set, serving 92 percent in as a team, and putting ten kills with a .625 hitting percentage. The ball was moved around really well offensively, as the ten kills were shared by 6 different players. Goodshield and Stafford each had two blocks for 4 total team blocks. New England struggled to get going, had several service errors, and the Bulldogs pulled out a 25-13 victory. New England came out

much stronger in the second set, and the Bulldogs struggled initially to have the same offensive power as in the first set. The team came from being down 7-1 to end with a 23-25 deficit. In set 3, the Bulldogs again struggled at the net a bit, committing five attack errors, and 6 blocking errors. In set 4, the girls settled back into a better rhythm, their serving percentage rising above 90 percent again over
a slight drop in set 3. New England came on strong with an aggressive offense, and the Bulldogs answered back, putting up impressive blocks to counter their offensive attacks. Digging struggled a bit in this set with 7 errors. The Bulldog offense suffered the most in this set, with the team’s hitting percentage following below zero. In spite of these setbacks, the Bulldogs and Tigers were tied up at 23-23
and in a marathon volley, the Bulldogs lost the point to the Tigers on a net violation. With the serve returning to them, the Tigers were able win the match point, and close the night 3-1 against the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs served the best they have all season at 89.9 percent. They also had a season high 35 kills, and 0.136 hitting percentage as a team. The Lady Bulldogs put up 21 total blocks, but not all

ranges. October through early December is the peak period for deer-vehicle accidents. Motorists are advised to slow down and exercise caution after dark to reduce the likelihood of encounters with deer along roadways. Most deer-vehicle accidents occur primarily at dawn and dusk when deer are most often moving around. Motorists should be aware of warning signs signaling deer are in the area. When you see one deer cross the road, look for a second or third deer to follow. Also, pay attention on roadways posted with Deer Crossing Area caution signs. Deer-vehicle accidents are at times unavoidable. If an accident does happen, motorists are reminded that a law passed by the 2013 state legislature eliminates the need for the driver involved in an accident to notify law enforcement authorities, if only the vehicle is damaged. Deer-vehicle accidents that involve personal injury or other property damage still must be reported. In addition, a permit is still required to take parts or the whole carcass of a road-killed deer. Permits are free and available from game wardens and local law enforcement offices. A few precautions can minimize chances of injury or property damage in a deer-vehicle crash. Always wear your seat belt. Don’t swerve or take the ditch to avoid hitting a deer. Try to brake as much as possible and stay on the roadway. Don’t lose control of your vehicle or slam into something else to miss the deer. You risk less injury by hitting the deer. If you spot deer ahead, slow down immediately and honk your horn.
Hunting from duck boats requires safety
Waterfowlers hunting from boats are encouraged to wear properly-fitted life jackets while on the water. Hunting jackets with life jackets already built in are light and comfortable to wear. In addition, wearing a life jacket will not only keep the overboard hunter afloat, but also slow the loss of critical body heat caused by exposure to cold water.

Chandeliers
By LINDA BROOKS Interior Designer
So you inherited a chandelier from your Great Aunt Emily? What do you do with it? Your inheritance could be the catalyst for a makeover of your living spaces or it could have a featured spot over your dining room table. Chandeliers can be incorporated into foyers, living and dining rooms, reading nooks, and bedrooms and bathrooms. I have even seen them used in log homes. A “chandelier” or “candelabrum” is a hanging lighting fixture – usually a pendant with branches to hold candles or lights, often decorated with prisms and crystals. These were introduced into England by French émigrés who fled their country around 1685. The first chandeliers were 2 cross pieces of wood having a space for candles at each end. A problem with early candled chandeliers was that they were smoky and they dripped (people did not stand under them). It was a task to trim the wicks and replace burned candles (wicks not requiring maintenance were developed in the 18th century). Owners of chandeliers used a pulley system so they could be raised and lowered easily. Chandeliers date earlier than the 6th century. Moorish hanging lamps of the 8th century depicted Islamic style, valuing geometry and symmetry. Brass chandeliers from Belgium were fabricated in metals from the 11th to

15th centuries. In Venice (1224), glassmakers established a guild (medieval associations of merchants and artisans to maintain standards for their craft and to protect the interests of their members). The earliest painting featuring a chandelier is “Giovanni Arnolfini and His Wife” (1434) by Jan Van Eyck. How did crystals become such a trademark of chandeliers? The first rock crystal chandeliers appeared in the 17th century. Rock crystals are created in the earth by geological events taking place over the centuries. French glassmakers were the first to emulate rock crystals with molded glass drops. In 1676, Geroge Ravenscroft, (English), patented a flint glass for crystals that contains lead oxide – it makes glass clearer, easier to cut, prismatic and it allows color to be added to the crystals. As the Industrial Revolution changed the world decorative objects usually owned only by the rich were becoming available to the middle class. They, too, wanted to show off their prosperity – one way to do this was with a fancy chandelier.

When gas lighting became available in the late 19th century chandeliers were refit for its use. If the gas did not work candles were kept close by. Electric bulbs ushered in a new look to chandeliers. Mario Fortuny, (Italian), developed the dimmer switch and made chandeliers out of ornate silk – revolutionizing the way theatres were lit. Louis Comfort Tiffany, (1848-1933), an American painter and designer, developed his famed Tiffany lamps, combining stained glass with the newly invented light bulbs. Most people have heard of Swarkovski - he invented a machine to cut crystals precisely. Known for his famed Swarkovski crystals he first used his machine for making jewelry – entering the chandelier business

in 1965. What about chandeliers today? They can reflect and mirror designs of the past, be very contemporary, or be more down to earth. I have seen chandeliers fabricated from antlers, metals, plastics, branches, and reclaimed products. The ideas available for a chandelier look are as varied as the person looking for a chandelier for their particular setting. As for me, I continue to design different looks for my HGTV bathroom chandelier – it has gone through all the seasons and highlights the different looks that can be developed from a simple double wire wreath ring. I’ve used hearts at Valentines, eggs and bunnies at Easter, greens for Spring, bright orange and yellow beads for Summer, multi-colored
