L

ately, the forecast for the entire southwest region of North Dakota has been nothing but rain, rain, and more rain. For the last 30 days, large portions of Adams County, Bowman County, and Hettinger County have experienced 2 to 3 times more precipitation than historical averages.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Patrick Ayd said that he expects the rainy trend to continue in the short term.

The rain the region has been experiencing for the past 2 to 4 weeks may continue into the end of September but eventually dry out, he said. Although farmers and

STUDENTS LEARN SAFETY FIRST AT C.O.R.E. EVENT

tudents from all over the region gathered at the Bowman County High School parking lot for last week’s C.O.R.E. event. Local safety departments taught students about fire safety, the risks of drunk driving, and a multitude of other safety concerns.

The event, hosted by Freshman Impact and led by Southwest North Dakota coordinators Chris Peterson and Megan Oase, addressed safety concerns and aimed to prevent injuries and accidents, the leading cause of death for students.

Peterson said they started the program to help save students’ lives.

“Because Megan and I are in healthcare, we know how important prevention is,” said Peterson. “Also, [the volunteers] show up wearing their uniforms, so kids can get comfortable interacting with them in a positive situations, not all negative.”

The event started with over 150 freshmen students from the surrounding areas watching and participating in safety-focused demonstrations and educational activities. Volunteers from Southwest Healthcare Services, West River Health Services, Bowman County Extension, Bowman EMS, Bowman Sheriff’s Department, Bowman and

Baker Fire Departments, and Dakota Advocacy for Children each had a hand in creating their own safety station.

“[The freshmen] students attended learning stations on farm safety, drunk driving, seatbelts, fire and rescue,

child abuse, life consequences and injury rehabilitation, and vaping,” said Peterson.

Local Library hosts 3rd annual Silent Auction

BY FRANK TURNER

reporternd@countrymedia.net

T

hree years ago, the Bowman Public Library ran into an issue: they needed a new roof. At the time, the library needed to raise a large amount of funds to pay for the $55,000 project, so they started a silent auction. The auction was a success, and with the help of a community, the library was able to complete their project and then some.

“We were able to cover the costs of the new roof, two furnaces, and two air conditioners with that one fundraiser,” said Sarah Snavely.

Every year since, the fundraiser became a yearly tradition, and just

last week, the library hosted their 3rd annual silent auction. From

September 16th through the 23rd, patrons could browse and bid on a va-

riety of donated goods from local small businesses and community members.

Snavely said that local donors and small businesses are always ready and willing to participate in the fundraiser.

“We get so many donations from so many businesses and people. It’s indicative of the generosity of the community,” said Snavely. “We are lucky to have that level of community spirit here.”

The silent auction offered a wide variety of auction items.

After the freshman finished their stations, the senior students took part in the event by creating a tragic scene, a mock trial, and a mock funeral. With the help of professional volunteers, the seniors acted out a drunk driving scene with a fatal car accident.

The scene depicted four intoxicated students driving on dirt road. In the fake scenario, the car rolls, resulting in one fatality and two injuries.

“The scene was facilitated by real professional, so it looked very realistic,” said Peterson.

Following the scene, a mock trial and funeral were held to express the significance of the situation. The hypothetical driver of the car was arrested and a mock procession was held for the victim. Although the funeral and trial were fake, Peterson said that the impact and emotions were real.

“By the end of the day, someone is walked out in handcuffs,” she said.

With such a large effort put forward by volunteers, Peterson said that she hopes the event will save lives.

“I think it makes an impact all over,” said Peterson. “…If kids ever consider ever getting in a car and carrying out destructive behavior, I hope they will remember this and think twice.”

to hand crafted items, retail goods, and even homemade foods and pastries.

Both Head Librarian Kaitlin Brooks and Snavely donated their own homemade crafts to the auction. Through welding, Brooks turned an old shovel into a decorative owl, and Snavely crafted ceramic buffalos for the auction “I am very happy to have the homemade items,” said Snavely.

“Even the homemade food like the jellies and the honey.”

Although in the past the library has put silent auction proceeds toward kids programs and new books, this year, Snavely said that the library is using the money to buy new lights. New lights are expected to cost the library roughly $13,000.

“As you can see, a lot of these lights are burnt out,” said Snavely, pointing toward the ceiling.

Ultimately, both Snavely and Brooks were thankful for the community’s participation in the auction.

“Hopefully this auction is just another way for the community to interact,” said Snavely. “Money is good, we need that too, but this is really just a way to encourage community spirit.”

n Wednesday Max Robison, NDSU Extension Agent, Misty Steeke, Scranton High School Agriculture Education instructor and Trevor Steeke gave a presentation on Farm Safety to about 120 freshman students from nine area schools.

The presentation began with why safety is important on the farm and on the road in rural communities, with the danger of colliding with slow moving vehicles. The first leg of the presentation began with PTO safety. A straw stuffed dummy was placed near the PTO shaft, with an article of the dummy’s clothing caught in a U-joint. The PTO was then turned on and the students could see how quickly the caught piece of clothing was wrapped up on the PTO shaft and it was

usually a fatal result for the dummy. They also showed students what would happen if a hand was caught in the moving chains of a round baler by using hotdogs to mimic fingers. This was a hit with the students.

They were also instructed on how to avoid pinch points, by lowering all attachments on a piece of equipment so that hydraulics wouldn’t settle and pinch or trap someone, or someone or something wouldn’t cause a sudden shift in attachment position and cause harm. They were also instructed to turn off and remove keys if they were working on or near the equipment to avoid someone starting the machine without knowledge of someone else working on or by it.

The presenters went on to talk about four wheeler and side-by-side safety, as well as ways to be safe around livestock.

Dr. Temple Grandin on low stress livestock handling STAFF REPORT

O

n September 12, 2019 Bowman County Ag processing students and FFA officers had the opportunity to attend a presentation by Dr. Temple Grandin on Low stress livestock handling. The Golden Valley Soil Conservation District sponsored this workshop in Beach ND. Temple Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, and has been consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior, and autism spokesperson. She is one of the first individuals on the autism spectrum to publicly share insights from her personal experience of autism.

Grandin has published 17 books and authored over 60 peer reviewed scientific papers on animal behavior, and is a prominent proponent for the humane treatment of livestock for slaughter. She also

invented the "Hug Box" device to calm those on the autism spectrum. In the 2010, Time magazine top 100, an annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, she was named in the "Heroes" category at number 31.

She was inducted into the National Women’s Halls of Fame in 2017.

She was the subject of the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning semi-biographical film Temple Grandin.

Grandin said that

getting out, working and doing things helped her when she was younger, and autism made it difficult for her to learn at first.

She never passed algebra, she said, because she was a visual learner instead. It was working on farms that gave her a goal.

She said that her two passions are livestock and construction.

Grandin discussed the low stress techniques to help producers and also the

training of livestock for 4-H and FFA members. She opened the floor for questions from the audience. Producers asked industry pertinent questions to their particular operations and Dr. Grandin addressed all of their questions. She also had a book signing and visited with participants after the work-

shop answering individual questions.

Dr. Grandin also addressed the skills labor shortage in America and spoke to the students about the career opportunities available to them and told them to take advantage of hands on classes like Ag, to help build their skills for future careers and to look at the skills

trade careers and to consider a career in the skills labor field.

The presentation was well attended and students had numerous ideas to take away from the workshop. It was a fantastic opportunity to listen to and meet such an influential person in the livestock industry and the autism fields.

WEATHER » FROM PAGE 1 producers may be dreading more rain, the meteorologist said the abnormally high rainfall is likely only temporary.

“We’ve had a pattern… that’s been moving moisture from the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the Northern Plains,” said Ayd. “It’s been quite humid the last couple of days across the region, which makes it feel more like July.”

Although the weather has been unexpectedly warm, the meteorologist assured the public that autumn is coming.

Looking into October, Ayd said that conditions do not favor any extreme conditions and people

should expect weather trends to return to normal. The current October outlook calls for average rainfall with a small chance of above average temperatures.

“Looking at the data, there really is not a clear signal that we are going to have above or below normal for precipitation and temperature,” he said. “The outlook favors being closer to normal for our weather in October.”

So what is normal for October?

Early in the month, the historic data shows average highs in the 60’s and lows in the 30’s. By the end of the month, the averages drop to highs in the 40’s and lows in the 20’s.

According to historical averages, the rain should slow down. October’s historic average precipitation in the region totals 1.25 inches for the month. The meteorologist said that people should be expecting a frost eventually, and the first snow may be in October.

“There has been a few patches of frost, but we haven’t had a big, widespread frost event just yet,” he said. “Usually we see our first frost in mid-September, but we have been anomalously warm the past couple of weeks. Frost doesn’t look immanent, so our first widespread frost may come later than normal.”

In January 2019, his life story was shared with the 66th Legislative Assembly. His mother testified on his behalf, of the debilitating medical condition that Autism Spectrum Disorder can be, and the need for alternative solutions to pharmaceuticals.

The City crew could take some dirt out prior to rock and plastic being installed. We could ask Tax and Tourism could help with part in the cost. James has also contacted someone on spraying for weeds in the boulevards and is waiting for a reply.

DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist Hello, Shirley has been happily married for well over forty years. I know a lot of you realize that she is a lucky

Dakota Community Bank

woman, but I have to remind her once in awhile.

We started producing rodeos the day after our wedding. And we produced rodeos for many years. Amateur, high school, college rodeos, and lots of jackpots. But all things must come to an end. So a number of years ago, we decided to hang it up. We had lost all the money we could.

But we had to keep a few of the best old mares around. Then we bought a bucking stud and went into raising a few horses as a sideline.

We’ve raised some great horses.

Had bucking horse of the year in the IPRA a number of times.

Had horses selected to the NFR in Las Vegas. But all good things must end.

So one year, with a drought and all, we decided we had better unload the horses.

So when Joe came to Killdeer to produce the rodeo, Shirley sent me up to see him. Joe was, and is, the biggest horse buyer in the world. Saddle horses, bucking horses, Shetlands, or race horses. Joe buys them all.

He is a horse trader.

I told Shirley she shouldn’t trust me with this responsibility. Joe is tough. But I picked him up and out we went to look at the brood mare band. He looked them over and decided he couldn’t use them right now. But he would make a few calls. And in the meantime he was stuck with a bunch of roping calves, Brahmas, at the Killdeer rodeo and had

no way to haul them. Maybe he could move my horses if I could move those calves.

To shorten the story up, I bought the calves. And four buffalo. Shirley was really tickled when I came home and told her Joe didn’t buy the horses, but I had twenty-five brahma calves and four buffalo!

I couldn’t lose on this deal. I loaded the calves up two days later and took them to the calf sale. While I was waiting for the calves to come through, here come some little Wild Russian Boar pigs. Remember my experience with them years ago? Well, I’m not quite over it. I wouldn’t buy those pigs if they gave them away. Then it happened. They kept backing the price down. Twenty apiece?

Fifteen? Five? One? Five pigs for twenty? Fifteen? One? Five pigs for a dollar!

My hand shot in the air like God himself was pulling on it.

It was a power no mortal man could resist. I was back in the pig business. Then came my calves. It kind of went like the pig sale. They started high and kept backing the price down.

The buyers did not appreciate quality. Or else they had an aversion to floppy ears. Anyway, I bought the calves back.

I drove around till dark. With my trailer load of treasure. Brahma calves and Russian pigs. I backed up to the barn, with my headlights off. I was scared. I was just opening the endgate when Shirley lightly tapped my shoulder. Did I

say lightly? Not. When those calves came flying out of that trailer she used a bad word. And when the pigs came out, shot under the trailer door, and headed for the garden, the people in north Dickinson had to cover their ears.

I explained to Shirley that we were back in the rodeo business. We had bucking horses, roping calves, and, listen to this, DEAN’S RACING PIGS. It’s going to take a little time to train them. But then I have a lot of time at night. Since I can’t go in the house anyway.

Later, Dean

Pastor's Corner: Much Debt, Much Grace

BY PASTOR RENEE JOHNSON For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.

(1 Corinthians 12:1214)

The stunning

sight of sunflower fields in full bloom greets travelers passing along area roadways. The bright yellow heads follow the sun’s path as it moves through the sky.

I’ve been noticing that some days all the heads are turned the same way. The effect transforms the field into a solid mass of yellow all lifted up and looking in the same direction. This is when the field is at its most stunning. It presents a uniform, strong mass of full, yellow heads.

Other times not all the heads face the same direction. Some aim east

State

while others look south or west. There are open spots in the midst of all the yellow faces. Sometimes the sunflowers are a little droopy, needing another shower of rain to nourish and replenish them. Other times, particularly on the gray days, some of the heads bow low, bent over and unable to lift their faces to the sky. And some of the sunflowers lay on the ground, bent low, no longer standing with the others but still present, still part of the field.

The sunflower field reminds me of the Church—the whole Church, the whole body

North Dakota Game and Fish Report

Wetland Conditions Good for Duck Hunting The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s annual fall wetland

survey indicates good-to-excellent conditions for duck hunting throughout the state.

the number of duck hunting wetlands are up about 65% statewide from a year ago, largely driven by record fall wetland conditions in the south central and southeast regions of the state.

The northwest, north central and northeast regions have also seen 3037% increases in the number of duck hunting wetlands compared to last fall.

“Fall wetland records for the south central and southeast regions were easily broken, and duck hunting wetlands recorded in these regions are up about 300% from average,” Dinges said.

Wetland conditions had been declining for a few years now, Dinges mentioned, but adequate snowmelt and abundant rainfall throughout spring and summer have dramatically improved wetland conditions in the state.

“However, the north central and northeast regions of the state are still recovering from drought conditions experienced over the last few years, and the number of duck hunting wetlands in these regions remain slightly below average,” Dinges said.

The quality of waterfowl hunting in North Dakota is largely determined by weather condi-

of Christ. We are at our best, our strongest when we stand together, all eyes on the Son, sharing our unity in Christ with one another and the world.

But we’re not always at our best, are we? Sometimes faces turn away from Christ; we lose or shift our focus. We’re still there, still part of the body, but there is an emptiness, the face that was lifted to Christ is missing.

Sometimes we droop. Without regular nourishment, without regular worship, prayer and scripture study we grow weary and wilt in our lives in Christ. When

tions and migration patterns. Dinges said good reproduction for ducks in traditional breeding areas this year also make for good fall hunting potential in North Dakota. However, he said given these wet conditions, hunters may encounter wetlands with extensive flooded vegetation, potentially making hunting difficult in some areas.

“Hunters should always scout because of ever changing conditions and distribution of waterfowl,” he added.

“Hunters should also be cautious driving off-trail to avoid soft spots, and while encountering areas of tall vegetation that could be a fire hazard.”

The fall wetland survey is conducted annually in mid-September, just prior to the waterfowl hunting season to provide an assessment of conditions duck hunters can expect.

Youth Waterfowl Hunting Trailer Available The North Dakota Game and Fish Department and Ducks Unlimited co-sponsor a trailer full of waterfowl hunting gear that is available to families with young hunters.

Purchased by the Game and Fish Department’s Encouraging Tomorrow’s Hunters grant program, the trailer is designed for families

we don’t tend to our spiritual lives, intentionally seeking renewal and refreshment, we grow weak and, like the sunflowers, become more vulnerable to those things that kill and destroy and separate us from God.

And finally, the image of yellow sunflower heads resting on the ground, still part of the field but no longer standing upright, remind me of the saints who have gone before us. The body of Christ, we confess in the creeds, includes the whole communion of saints— believers of the past age, the present age and the

age to come. And, to continue the allegory a little farther, we all await the coming harvest. We await the time when Christ will raise us up and carry us to our eternal home.

We are the body of Christ. Each of us is an important part of the whole. Each of us is different but we stand together, lifting our faces to the Lord, drawing our strength from Him. Our witness to the world and our unity come when our focus remains firmly fixed on Jesus the Christ. What are you focused on today?

In grace and peace,

who don’t have the appropriate gear for their young hunters to hunt waterfowl.

The equipment is donated by Avery Outdoors.

Use of the trailer is free, and it is equipped with goose and duck decoys for field hunting, and two bags of floating duck decoys and marsh seats for hunting a wetland.
