Bowman County dominates Killdeer for homecoming win BY COLE BENZ For The Pioneer
B
owman County set the tone early in a lopsided 33-7 win over Killdeer on homecoming night. After receiving the opening kickoff, senior quarterback Jacob Svihovec hit senior receiver Matt Osendorf in stride for a 65 yard touchdown pass. Osendorf would end the game with 204 receiving yards and two scores. While the Bulldog offense was firing on all cylinders, their defensive game showed up too. Bowman County held the Cowboys to a three-and-out on their first possession, and didn’t allow a Killdeer first down until the 3:34 mark of the first quarter. After a failed extra point on the first touchdown, the Bulldogs were successful on the second extra point on their second touchdown, ending the first quarter with a 13-0 lead. Killdeer opened the second quarter with possession of the ball. But was short lived when junior Colby Schaff intercepted the ball with just a minute and 30 seconds into the quarter. Svihovec then scampered 53 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was good putting the Bulldogs comfortably ahead 20-0.

O
ver the last few weeks, the weather has started cooling down and the leaves have begun to change. Autumn is just around the corner, which means football season has jumped into full swing at Bowman County School. Last week, students geared up for the Friday’s homecoming football game and cheered on their fellow Bull Dogs by participating in a host of homecoming week activities. Pepclub/Homecoming Advisor Jettie Swanson said she worked with two other teachers, Tyneal Burke and Connie Gaebe, to create a memorable
week that students could rally behind. “It’s fun to see all the kids working together and creating things,” said Swanson. “It’s nice to see the kids who are not involved in athletics still be involved.” Last week’s homecoming activities started early this year. On Sunday, 7-12 grade students could go to the school with a chaperone and decorate the hallways. According to Swanson, this year’s decoration day was cartoon and TV show themed. “The 7-12th graders always try to pick shows that the elementary kids like because the elementary kids judge the decorations,” she said. Then on Monday,

students had the chance to both see a newly decorated school and dress up as movie characters and villains. Swanson said there were a lot of students dressed up as Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians walking through the halls.
Later Monday evening, the 2019 Homecoming Court and Royalty were chosen at Coronation. Out of ten candidates, Jacob Svihovec and Abby Smyle were chosen as the 2019 Homecoming King and Queen. The 2019
Homecoming Court are as follows: Elise Fischer, Camden Wokal, Kira Irons, Matt Osendorf Ashlynn Dix, Dale Skalicky, Jill Svihovec, and Andrew Narum. Tuesday, Wednesday, and

Member Chad Miller. The project, which started mid-August, is slated to be finished in the next couple of weeks. Although the project isn’t finished, Miller and Wilke said they hope to utilize some of the finished panels for the upcoming Blitz Barrel event. “The pens will really help out with large rodeo events,” said Miller, “especially when hosting the State School Finals and the Junior High State Finals in May.” Wilke and Miller said that the project has been a high priority for both the All Seasons and the Rodeo Club. For over 25 years, the organizations have relied on local ranchers and volunteers to lend a hand and

Hello, Did I ever tell you about my military career? If I did, I’m sorry, because you are going to hear about it again. You see, I was in the Guard. The National Guard. A long, long time ago. Back in the day. As cowboys say, “Back when the chutes were wood, and the men were steel”. Bob was, and is, a close friend of mine. Since we were both farm and ranch guys, we often partook in events following drill that made us a bit slow in the morning. I apologize,
but it happens. One Sunday morning we were a bit tardy for roll call. Not bad mind you, but we were late. The first sergeant called us in for an explanation. Never lacking for words I explained that Bob’s dad had become deathly ill, in fact I may have said that he had passed away and we had to go to Bob’s place and milk cows. Which kind of surprised Bob, who knew his dad was in perfect health. The first sergeant wasn’t buying my excuse and
exclaimed, “That neither Bob or I was smart enough, or capable enough, to milk a cow”. That hurt. That really hurt. It just happened that I had a half-ton pickup in town that weekend. With a stock rack on it. The first sergeant had noticed this, and after some consideration, decided that he would not give us any penalty for missing roll call, provided we go get a milk cow, and milk her in front of the company! Bob’s farm was about 20 miles from Dickinson.
His dad, Old Bob, was quite surprised when two soldiers in fatigues, walked into the barn and explained they needed to borrow a milk cow! We didn’t carry our weapons or anything, and he actually was kind of amused at our predicament. We picked out a cow standing in a stanchion that Old Bob hadn’t gotten to yet, backed up to a chute, and loaded the poor old cow up for a trip to town. When we pulled up to the armory, the first sergeant called a company formation.
The troops all lined up and Bob and I crawled over the side of that stock rack to begin milking that cow. The first sergeant had them primed for this. They all began throwing firecrackers into the back of the pickup. Have you ever tried to milk a cow while both you and the cow were dodging firecrackers? It gets pretty crowded. I don’t think that poor old cow gave milk for a week. And we were never late again. Later, Dean
Pastor's Corner: Much Debt, Much Grace BY PASTOR DAVID WERNER Money is a funny thing. It always seems like no matter how much I have, a little more would be much nicer. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I am very blessed to have a certain level of financial stability. But I have a certain amount of financial worry in the form of
student loans. Again I am fortunate that the amount I needed to take out was relatively smaller than most students. Looking forward, I can see my loans being paid in a few years rather than over the better part of a decade. Debt seems to create a certain sense of uneasiness. Debt feels like a weight that only increases as time goes on. And the more debt we accrue, the heavier the burden feels.
State
But once the bill is settled and the last monthly payment paid, the sense of freedom is incomparable. Jesus told a short parable regarding debt in Luke 7:41-42: “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both.” As was common when Jesus told
a parable, this short story he told was directed at a specific individual; a religious leader who reviled the kindness a sinful woman showed to Jesus. In response, Jesus told this specifically directed parable and concluded by asking, “So which of them will love him more?” The answer is very obvious, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” Jesus makes the point clear, “For this reason
North Dakota Game and Fish Report
Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest The deadline for submitting entries in the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s annual Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest is Oct. 1. The contest has categories for nongame and game species, as well as plants/insects. An overall winning photograph will be chosen, with the number of place winners in each category determined by the number of qualified entries. The contest guidelines are the same as in previous years, but the process for submitting photos has changed. This year, photographers will provide information and upload images through the Game and Fish Department website only, at gf.nd.gov/photo-contest. Contestants are limited to no more than five entries. Photos must have been taken in North Dakota. By submitting an entry, photographers grant permission to Game and Fish to publish winning photographs in North Dakota OUTDOORS magazine, and on the department’s website. For more information or questions, contact Patrick Isakson, conservation biologist, at pisakson@nd.gov. 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 slows the loss of critical body heat caused by exposure to cold water.
Capsizing and falling overboard from small boats are the most common types of fatal boating accidents for hunters.
Waterfowl Hunters Reminded of ANS Regulations Waterfowl hunters are reminded to do their part in preventing the spread of aquatic nuisance species into or within North Dakota. Waterfowl hunters must remove plants and plant fragments from decoys, strings and anchors; remove plants seeds and plant fragments from waders and other equipment before leaving hunting areas; remove all water from decoys, boats, motors, trailers and other watercraft; and remove all aquatic plants from boats and trailers before leaving a marsh or lake. In addition, hunters are encouraged to brush their hunting dogs free of mud and seeds. Cattails and bulrushes may be transported as camouflage on boats. All other aquatic vegetation must be cleaned from boats prior to transportation into or within North Dakota. In addition, drain plugs on boats must remain pulled when a boat is in transit away from a water body. More ANS information, including regulations, is available by visiting the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Whooping Crane Migration Whooping cranes are in the midst of their fall migration and sightings will increase as they make their way into and through North Dakota over the next several weeks. Anyone seeing these endangered birds as they move through the state is asked to report sightings so the birds
can be tracked. The whooping cranes that do make their way through North Dakota each fall are part of a population of about 500 birds that are on their way from their nesting grounds at Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada to wintering grounds at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, a distance of about 2,500 miles. Whoopers stand about five feet tall and have a wingspan of about seven feet from tip to tip. They are bright white with black wing tips, which are visible only when the wings are outspread. In flight they extend their long necks straight forward, while their long, slender legs extend out behind the tail. Whooping cranes typically migrate singly, or in groups of 2-3 birds, and may be associated with sandhill cranes. Other white birds such as snow geese, swans and egrets are often mistaken for whooping cranes. The most common misidentification is pelicans, because their wingspan is similar and they tuck their pouch in flight, leaving a silhouette similar to a crane when viewed from below. Anyone sighting whoopers should
not disturb them, but record the date, time, location, and the birds' activity. Observers should also look closely for and report colored bands which may occur on one or both legs. Whooping cranes have been marked with colored leg bands to help determine their identity. Whooping crane
I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Scripture tells us that we are all in a state of spiritual bankruptcy. We have all fallen short and missed the mark. The good news is that Jesus stands ready to forgive all who would ask. I know if my financial debt (which will eventually be paid) was forgiven, I would be
very grateful. How much more grateful should we be when our spiritual debt (which we have no chance of repaying on our own) is forgiven? The question and challenge that we are left with is this: since we have been forgiven much, will we love much? Will we express our gratitude to the Savior for his grace by our love for Him? And will we extend that love to those around us?
sightings should be reported to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offices at Lostwood, 701-8482466, or Audubon, 701-442-5474, national wildlife refuges; the North Dakota Game and Fish Department in Bismarck, 701328-6300, or to local game wardens across the state. Reports help biologists locate important whooping crane habitat areas, monitor marked birds, determine survival and population numbers, and identify times and migration routes.
at any time. It features many hands-on activities including archery, BB gun shooting, fishing, animal identification, prizes and more.
