Fire destroys RV at Frontier Travel Center BY COLE BENZ For The Pioneer

family RV was destroyed when it became engulfed in flames Sunday evening, Sept. 1 at Frontier Travel Center in Bowman. According to local law enforcement, the fire was called in at about 7 p.m. There were no injuries and the cause of the blaze was not immediately known. Ryan Cyr, driver of the RV, told the Pioneer that he, his wife Sharese, and daughter Amira had recently traveled to South Dakota from their home in Regina, Saskatchwean to go camping. They purchased gas in Buffalo, S.D. on their way home, but not knowing the

SLOPE COUNTY Fair Results BY FRANK TURNER

reporternd@countrymedia.net

he 99th Slope County Fair kicked off last week in the small town of Amidon. Although it’s a small town, the population exploded with visitors during the weekend. Spectators at the fair

enjoyed different events like the NDRA/Slope Summer Circuit Rodeo, the play “Fortune Teller” by the Slope County Players, and the Mud Butte Band. It wasn’t just spectators at the fair, however. For most of the summer, 4-H students worked on

unique projects highlighting crafts, sciences, or skills. Both the 4-H students and their sponsors were recognized at the Parade of Champions for their static projects. The static project results and 2019

reporternd@countrymedia.net

tarting September 6th, the Bowman Theater is switching to its fall schedule. The theater will be show movies Friday and Saturday nights with a Sunday matinee. Last winter, the Bowman Theater shut down on December 31 and reopened in early May. As the theater heads into the winter season again, co-owner Melissa Case said that it’s likely the theater will likely shut down sometime in late December. “For the foreseeable future, for next year, that’s the plan,” said

pumps. By the time he had stopped the vehicle again it was entirely filled with smoke. He got out quickly, but there was little he could do at that point, except to watch as the fire destroyed the RV. Both Bowman Police Department and Bowman Fire Department were quickly on site to control traffic and fight the fire. With police still on site the fire department left after the fire was extinguished. But they were called back a few minutes later when the fire had reginited as a tow truck pulled the burnt RV even further from the pumps near the south side of the parking lot between the two bays of fuel pumps. The odor from the fire wafted through the entire parking lot, and burnt debris was scattered to the gas pumps. An attempt to contact the Bowman Fire Department was not made yet at the time of this publishing.

next time they could refuel, they decided to stop at Frontier Travel Center to fill their tank again. “We were coming here and we figured we [were] going north along the back roads,” he said. “So we figured we’d top off our gas.” Cyr said that after they pulled into the travel center and up to the pump, he exited the vehicle. Upon exiting the RV, he noticed some smoke coming from the back tire. He told his wife about the smoke. When he opened the bathroom door he could see a small fire in the corner. But opening the door let air in and the flames quickly grew. “As soon as I opened [the door], it gave [the fire] oxygen,” he said. “And then it took off.” His used a fire extinguisher, but it created more smoke. They shut the door and he got out of the passenger seat and went into the driver’s seat so he could pull get the vehicle away from the gas NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT ADMINISTRATIVE RULES relating to Preparation of Cottage Food Products For Sale

Case. “After that I don’t know.” Ultimately Case said that she rather see the movie theater run as a community run organization instead of having the business close in the winter months, especially because of the theater ’s long history. “It would be a shame to close it,” said Case. “The theater was built in the 40’s. Right after the war, some of the guys coming back from the war, their first job was running

wheelbarrows of cement for the front stage.” Case said that, as a community owned organization, the theater could not only show movies, but also host music concerts, theater, and choirs. “We were trying to get community owned project going, like the one they own in Hettinger,” said Case. “It would be best as community owned theater because it is a community service. That would be the best thing for

everyone involved.” She continued, “There are only a handful of privately owned single-screen movie theaters in the United States. We would be willing to work with anyone.” Whatever happens, people will still be able to sit down and enjoy an evening fall movie this year. Angry Birds 2 and Overcomer are the first movies on deck for the fall schedule starting September 6th.

WRHS Foundation surpasses $364,000 raised for new Lemmon Dacotah Clinic W

est River Health Services Foundation, the nonprofit fundraising and development arm of Western Dakota’s healthcare leaders, West River Health Services and Western Horizons Living Centers, has raised $364,009 for their new $1.5 Million WRHS Lemmon Dacotah Clinic on Main Street in Lemmon, South Dakota. The fundraising goal was set at $300,000 last November, 2018. By May, 2019, a short six months into the campaign, the Greater Lemmon Area Community came together as one TEAM and surpassed the $300K goal. Back in late October, 2018, the WRHS Board of Directors awarded the $1.5 Million New WRHS Lemmon Clinic Project to Doug Peterson & Associates, Lemmon,

SD. He gathered his TEAM of local subcontractors, including Stock’s Electric, B & C Plumbing, Custom 101 Construction, Olson’s Carpet & Furniture, Northwest Supply and others (all local Lemmon area businesses), and they began gutting and eventually renovating the former IGA Grocery Store on Lemmon’s Main Street into a state-of-the-art healthcare clinic. For many years, West River Health Services had leased a cramped and dated clinic facility from Five Counties Nursing Home in Lemmon. With very little privacy in exam rooms, limited wheelchair accessibility and only sidestreet parking, the board decided to look into other options. Following a search of possible locations, numerous community meetings, and a few rough estimates of

building new versus renovating an existing building, it was decided to purchase the IGA Grocery Store on Main Street and renovate it into a top shelf, 21st Century healthcare clinic. Lemmon’s Dacotah Bank sparked the fundraising campaign with a huge pledge of $100,000, which included naming rights for the New WRHS Lemmon Dacotah Clinic. With a planned “Room Sponsorship Program” in place, the gifts came into the WRHS Foundation fast and furious. Longtime Lemmon Area supporters Don & Marianne Beeler and West River Cooperative Telephone Company each joined the TEAM with $25,000 gifts. Former Lemmon High graduate Doug Shortridge stepped up with $50,000 and the R.B. & Frances Wheeler Trust gifted

$20,000! Through today, the New Clinic has received seven $10,000 gifts; four $5,000 gifts; twenty-five $1,000 gifts; and 142 gifts of $100$500! After a smooth move and transition from its former home, the New WRHS Lemmon Dacotah Clinic opened its doors at its new 411 Main Avenue address to its patients on Tuesday, August 13th. The new clinic is easily accessible via Main Street in Lemmon with a huge parking lot, welcoming Front Lobby and Registration Desk, seven spacious exam rooms, two useful procedure rooms, two behavioral health patient rooms with one-way windows, and separate spacious rooms for Laboratory, Radiology and a Private Blood Draw/Infusion Room. There are also separate offices for the

Clinic Manager, Visiting Physicians, Visiting Nurse, a Charting Room, Nurses Storage, Housekeeping, Mechanical and Supply Rooms. There’s even an Employee Break Room (for the few breaks that become available when we aren’t serving our patients!) The “Last Call To Get On The Wall” of the New Lemmon Dacotah Clinic Donor Board for the Front Lobby, has been made for August 30th, when the list of over 180 donors who have given $100 or more, will be sent to the engravers for creation. The last few weeks have witnessed a fast and furious charge to be part of this momentous occasion. Of course, all gifts will be accepted at the West River Health Services Foundation, regardless of the timing or the amount. We are

FALL FILLED WITH FESTIVALS, FOOTBALL AND FUN BY STAFF REPORT

eptember is a festive month in North Dakota. Summer vacations are wrapping up, the harvest is underway and the weather is oh-soslightly changing. It’s time to celebrate the things that North Dakotans find near and dear – food, football, friends and festivals. The Potato Bowl ([http://www.potatobowl.org)]potatobowl.org) at UND embraces all the fun things about fall in North Dakota. This year ’s week-long celebration in Grand Forks is Sept. 10-

14 and concludes with a football game against Sam Houston State on Saturday. That’s only one of the many festivals in September. Also scheduled: Hazen Harvestfest (ndtourism.com/ events/harvestfest-2019) Sept. 4-8; Harvest Festival at Dickinson (ndtourism.com/ events/harvest-festival-fall-fun-entire-family) Sept. 13-14; Applefest in Bismarck (ndtourism.com/events/ applefest) Sept. 21-22; Autumnfest Parade in Bismarck (ndtourism.com/ events/autumnfest-parade) Aug. 21; Oktoberfest in Mandan (ndtourism. com/events/okto-

Festivals almost always include a blending of cultures and that includes the Native American Hall of Honor Induction Ceremony (ndtourism.com/ events/native-american-hall-honor-induction-ceremony) at the North Dakota Heritage Center Sept. 5. That is held in conjunction with the United Tribes International Powwow (ndtourism.com/

events/50th-annual-united-tribes-technical-college-international-powwow) Sept. 6-8 in Bismarck. Some get-togethers aren’t known as festivals but bring people together in celebration – like North Dakota State football. The Bison are No. 1 in the FCS, the program was named a top 10 by ESPN and the tailgating before home games in on par with any program in the nation. See for yourself; head to the Fargodome on Sept. 7 (UND) and Sept. 21 (UC Davis). The game against UND will be an annual event beginning this year with UND joining the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020. Is the only sound you want to hear the sound of silence – with an occasional hoot of an owl and or howling of distant coyotes? The Dakota Nights Astronomy Festival (ndtourism. com/events/dakota-nights-astronomy-festival) Aug. 30-Sept. 1 in Medora is right for you. Adrenaline junkies looking for a rush have options, too. The Maah Daah Hey 150 (ndtourism. com/events/maahdaah-hey-150)

mountain bike race Sept. 21-26 lasts six days and covers 150-plus miles on the legendary trail through the Badlands. If that’s too much, try something “easier,” like running a marathon, either in Bismarck on Sept. 21 (ndtourism.com/events/ bismarck-marathon) or Grand Forks on Sept. 27-28 (ndtourism.com/ events/wild-hoggrand-forks-marathon-2019). Finally, let music guide you into fall. Grand Forks’ Greenway Takeover Festival (ndtourism.com/events/ greenway-takeover-festival) starts rocking on Sept. 5 and keeps on rocking through Sept. 8. The genre varies based on the stage and time, with Everclear (“Santa Monica,” “Wonderful”) closing Friday night’s set. Dickinson gets into the act with the Fall Downtown Blues Festival and street fair (ndtourism.com/ events/fall-downtown-blues-festival) on Sept. 7. Classic rocker Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (www.ndtourism.com/events/ bob-seger-silverbullet-band) brings his “Roll Me Away Tour” to the Fargodome on Sept. 14.

Dakota Datebook

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Finlander on the Warpath Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm September 2, 2019 — The Bisbee Gazette published a story about an event that took place, on this date in 1911, titled “Finlander on the Warpath.” The article read, “Saturday evening a bunch of Finlanders loaded up on snoose and Hofman drop and then started in to carve each other in the usual way among those fellows. The affray took place in the alley in back of the telephone central office about ten o’clock in the evening and came near ending fatally for one of the participants. One fellow had several gashes cut about his head and neck,” the story read, “(with) one being within a half inch of the jugular vein. Nightwatch Hanlon happened to be near when the affair started and soon had the knife artist under arrest.” The story went on to say, “Judge Durston com-

municated with the states attorney and the fellow was to have had his hearing Tuesday, but when Hanlon went to feed his prisoner Monday morning, the cell was empty. A broken lock told the story of the fellow’s getaway. The lock was but a flimsy affair and the fellows who lent their assistance found but little trouble in smashing it and liberating the prisoner. “It is said,” the article continued, “that the row started over a refusal of the injured man to buy more Hofman drop for his companions. According to his story he had bought 2 bottles during the day and they had made a concoction of the drug, snoose and water and had all gotten beastly drunk or crazy and when he refused to buy again the butting began.” Finland had gone through a rough time in previous years, suffering famine, persecution and pressure to join the Russian army. During the 1800s, many immigrated to other countries. In America, many found

to Mae (Hansen) and Louis Holzman, the third of four children born to Mae and Louis. Charlotte and her two surviving siblings, Doris and Louis, grew up on the farm just east of Scranton that was homesteaded by her father, Louis. She attended Woodberry School, northeast of Scranton, her 1 st -8 th grade elementary years and then enrolled at Scranton High School. She graduated from Scranton High School on May 25th, 1951. She thought at first she wanted to be a nurse, so tried nursing school until she had to give shots. She decided that was too much for her so then enrolled at the State Teacher’s College in Dickinson, ND. After graduating from the Teacher’s College in 1953, she took her first job as teacher of the one-room school house for the Medicine Hill School District in Bowman County. Charlotte began her 61 year marriage to Reuben Pladsen on June 18, 1956. Reuben had returned from serving in the Korean War and was invited to a Scranton High School play by

jobs as miners, because Finns were known as hard workers. It wasn’t surprising, then, that Finns were resentful and agitated when they were paid less than American-born workers. As the 19th century blended into the 20th, a number of these miners moved to an area on the North and South Dakota border that includes Ellendale in Dickey County. Prejudice toward Finns over here carried over from the old country. Other Nordics didn’t understand the Finnish language, and many considered Finns to be Mongolians. Also, the Finnish settlers’ belief in co-ops led many to consider them socialists or communists. North Dakota Swedes and Norwegians said Finns were clannish, drank too much and liked knives. Finns drank no more than other Scandinavians; in fact, they formed their own temperance movements here. Yet, prejudice toward Finns can be seen in the story from Bisbee, which ended with, “On the whole this kind of harvest hand laborers seem to be of the most undesirable kind. They don’t seem to care to work or if they do they’ll work but a day or two then come to town and loaf.” Getting back to what got the Finnish harvesters in trouble... Hofman drop or Hoffman’s drops. Norwegian Ole Rynning wrote an emigration guide in 1838 titled “True Account of America for the Information and Help of Peasant and Commoner.” In case of sickness during the voyage over, Rynning recommended taking along brandy, vinegar, several bottles of wine, raisins and prunes, sulpher powder, ointment for “the itch” and... Hoffmans drops. Hoffmans drops, along with hard liquor, was a popular contraband

often used to sweeten the deal in reindeer trading. What were the drops made of, you ask? Ether: the anesthesia once used to put people under prior to surgery. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

his first cousin, Jimmy Mrnak and Jimmy’s wife, Marlene (Brown.) It so happened that Charlotte was also at the play because her brother, Louis, was in the play along with Marlene’s sister, Sharon. Jimmy and Marlene introduced Charlotte to Reuben at this event. This first meeting was followed by other social events including dances at Gascoyne and the “rest is history!” Reuben and Charlotte both were born and raised in Bowman County and really never considered living anywhere else, but tried to travel somewhere new every year. Charlotte planned a yearly 2-week summer vacation and it always revolved around visiting at least one national park in the US or Canada and visiting relatives along the way; visiting Canada was included because, of course, there were relatives in Canada! At the end of every summer vacation, Reuben would always clearly state, “I will never go on another vacation with these kids again!” Three of Charlotte’s character traits are sympathy, empathy,

Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm September 3, 2019 — More than 150 years ago, a man named Sam Brown wrote to his father, “I hope you will not believe all that is said of ‘Sully’s Successful Expedition,’ against the Sioux. I don’t think he aught to brag of it at all, because it was, what no decent man would have done, he pitched into their camp and just slaughtered them, worse a great deal than what Indians did in 1862, he killed very few men and took no hostile ones prisoners...and now he returns saying that we need fear no more, for he has ‘wiped out all hostile Indians from Dakota.’ If he had killed men instead of women and children, then it would have been a success, and the worse of it, they had no hostile intention whatever, the Nebraska 2nd pitched into them without orders, while the Iowa 6th were shaking hands with them on one side, the soldiers even shot their own men.” He was referring to the Battle of Whitestone Hill, which took place on this date in 1863 near present-day Ellendale. Brown

was a 19 year-old translator at Crow Creek, where the Indian prisoners – 32 men and 124 women and children – were jailed. And where they later died. General Sully and General Sibley were in Dakota searching for a band of Santee Sioux who had participated in the Minnesota Uprising the previous year. They had one mission: trap the Santee between them and make them pay. Sully had come up empty and was returning home, when a scouting party led by Major Albert House discovered a Sioux encampment on a small lake below Whitestone Hill. Major House sent word to General Sully, moved in closer and discovered the camp was larger than he thought – approximately 1,000 people. The Indians sent a delegation of elders out to meet the scouting party. Vastly outnumbered, House negotiated for almost three hours. Historic accounts differ about whether any Santee were hiding in the camp. It is known that House demanded total surrender, but the elders refused. Historian LaDonna Brave Bull’s great, great grandmother was a 9 year-old living in the camp. She said the men were out hunting, and during those three hours, the women prepared to flee. Tipis were dismantled, and travois carrying children and provisions were quickly hooked up to ponies and dogs. When the people saw Sully’s command arriving, they panicked and ran. Sully saw them leaving, sent others to cut off their escape routes and charged directly into the camp. The Indians scattered, but were cut off, and hundreds were slaughtered as the sun went down. The State Historical Society reports, “The light of the following day re-

vealed a field of carnage. Dead and wounded men, women, and children lay in the campsite and in the ravine. Tipis stood vacant, or drooped in various stages of destruction. Camp equipment and personal items, tools, utensils, weapons, toys, and injured or dying horses and dogs littered the ground. Injured women protected babies and the little children. As the soldiers looked after the wounded and gathered the dead...other men were put to work... destroying the village and Indian possessions.” Brave Bull says 289 villagers were killed, most women and children. Some babies were found strapped to dogs that had carried them away. One baby, who later visited the site as an old woman, was found trying to nurse from her dead mother. Brave Bull’s great great grandmother was shot in the hip but survived. The village was peaceful Ihunktonwan (ee-HOOnK-tooN-wahN) or Yankton Sioux, not Santee. Two Bears, a chief of that village, was the strongest voice for peace around Fort Rice one year later. Brave Bull says that, for her people, Whitestone Hill is their Wounded Knee. She writes, “...it is said in my family that my great great grandma screamed in her sleep until the day she died.” “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

and perseverance; needless to say the vacations continued. Charlotte loved keeping track of family genealogy. When she went as far as she could mapping out her own family’s lineage, she did the same for Reuben’s family history. Charlotte’s efforts in reaching out to Reuben’s relatives led to a trip to Norway to visit many extended family Pladsen relations, of course! This was a travel highlight in their lives. They also were fortunate to have been able to travel to Mexico with family members and this last year Charlotte celebrated her 85 th birthday on a cruise to Alaska. Volunteering was something that was important to Charlotte. She made lifetime friends through the many organizations she participated in and lead. These included: 3 in 1 Homemakers, Bowman Lutheran Church Women (Circle), Badlands Ministries, Bowman Lutheran Church Council, Quilters, Sons of Norway, American Legion Auxiliary, Ladies Aid, Cedar Chest, Sodbuster’s, Farmer’s Union youth, Hospital

Auxiliary, Hospital Guild, and two shorter stints in both Girl Scouts and 4-H while raising her own children. Besides all of her volunteer positions and responsibilities, Charlotte also had various jobs throughout her life. While raising her three children, Dwight, Dwan, and Thelma, she was a full-time day-care provider for local families; especially local teachers and nurses. These relationships lasted throughout Charlotte’s life. The “day-care kids” often visited Charlotte and introduced their own families to her as the years passed. Charlotte also worked at Super Value grocery store as the “produce lady” and then decided to begin working for the Bowman Public Schools as a cook and then later became the head cook. Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents; her older sister Doris; her younger brother Louis; her husband Reuben; her sister-in-law Emily Davis; her brothers-inlaw Russell Wischow, Ronald Pladsen, Daryl Gatzke, and Carol Davis; and her niece Di-

ana Roller (Ronald) Charlotte will be deeply missed by her surviving family members: son Dwight of Rapid City, SD; daughter Dwan (Bruce) Kinney of Arlington, WA ; daughter Thelma Dimattio of Bowman, ND; granddaughters Dakota DiMattio, Philadelphia, PA and Megan Dimattio, Lehigh University, PA; grandsons Dane (Marji) Kinney of Camano Island, WA and Louis Kinney of Marysville, WA; sisters-in-law Arlene Gatzke of Baker, MT and Ella Pladsen of Bismarck, ND; brother-in-law Elwin (Mary) Pladsen of Bowman, ND; niece Evelyn Wootten of Granite Falls, WA; nephews Duane (Beth) Gatzke of Kent, WA, Alan (Farren) Gatzke of Bainbridge Island, WA, and Glen (Jennifer) Pladsen of Bismarck, ND. In lieu of flowers, Charlotte requested donations be made to Badlands Ministries, Pioneer Trails Regional Museum, Bowman ND, and Bowman Regional Public Library.

DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist Hello, It’s September. Sep-

Dakota Community Bank

tember mind you. You put up hay in June and July. Not September. In September, if you farm, you combine. If you ranch, you give calves fall shots. You clean your pens out. You weld up broken gates and line up feed bunks. You pull your bulls from the pasture and practice swearing at them. You don’t hay. Not normally. I’m not a religious person. Oh, I was an alter boy for a lot of years when I was a kid. I still maintain that if it hadn’t been for Schlitz beer and girls, I may have gone into the priesthood, but that’s another story.

But I think in my studies, I may have missed one commandment. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s hay”. We had finished haying. One pretty good cutting in North Dakota, and two great cuttings at Will’s place in Harding County. Normally to get two cuttings in Harding County would take between 3 and 5 years. You don’t get two cuttings in a year. But thanks to 18 inches of rain (because I had rain insurance) this year was an exception. Anyway, we had finished haying. But a neighbor had a bunch of hay that they had been unable to get put up

Pastor's Corner: Faith that Works T

his past week was the Labor Day weekend holiday. We live in a community that rightfully can be thankful for promoting a good strong work ethic and excellent sense of community. I would like us to ponder how we view the relationship between faith and our works or actions (as well as our speech). Scripture teaches that we are saved by grace through faith alone and not by our deeds (Romans 1:17 and 3:28) and yet Paul will say in Ephesians 2:8-10 that we are saved through faith and grace alone but have also been created to do good works. This leads us to the passage that I would like to highlight James 2:13-26. James in this passage starts out by asking us two questions:

What good is faith without works? Can that kind of faith save? He goes on to teach us that faith in God whether it is the true Triune God of Scripture or a “god” of our own making or imagination is not enough. We can know something is true, but not act on it or implement it in our lives in such a way that it is a faith that is truly working in our lives to make us more like Jesus. A faith in God without growing in works is ultimately a useless faith. A saving faith in Jesus is demonstrated in our lives through His followers growing in doing the works of Jesus. James will say that faith is dead and useless if not accompanied by deeds and actions. It is not that we can save ourselves through these

actions, but that our growing in doing the works of Jesus show that Jesus is at work in our lives transforming us. I, nor anyone else, can judge if you are in right relationship with God, however, we need to be willing to look in mirror of God’s Word and examine if we have a certain type of intellectual assent that knows things, but has no interest in submitting to the transformative grace that Jesus wants to bring into our lives. Jesus wants to change us and sometimes we resist. Jesus has prepared good works for us to do now, not just a reservation in heaven. Let us examine our lives to see how we can be transformed by Jesus to do good works now and be in right relationship with Him for eternity as well.

because of the abundance of hay and the wet weather. And we coveted it. So we took it on shares. All we had to do was cut it. I have spent the last week, lying under a 20 year old haybine, pulling wet hay out of the header by the handful. My hands have gotten so raw and bloody, that by night, I can barely hold onto a glass. That is bad. Real bad. And this hay field is about a mile and a half from the neighbor’s house. I covet his house too. It sits on a beautiful hill surrounded by pine trees. He has a wonderful deck, where he can sit in the

morning or the evening and enjoy the view. From his deck, he can take his binoculars and watch me pull the wet bundles of worthless hay from the header. It hurts. It really hurts to know that he is sitting on that deck, sipping on a cool drink, while I have sweat running in my eyes, blood dripping from my hands, and bugs crawling down my neck. Cutting this wet, lodged hay reminds me of the story of the priest that was starting the lawn mower that he had bought at a yard sale. He pulled and pulled to no avail. The little boy, whose

father had sold the mower, was watching with interest. Finally, the priest turned to the boy, “How did your dad start this thing?” The boy replied, “He would pull on it a couple times, swear at it, and it would start.” The priest said softly, “My son, I wouldn’t know how to swear”. The boy knowingly nodded, “You keep pulling on that rope, and you will learn”. Later, Dean
