District sticks to 40-acre mandate for campus By Brad Mosher The Herald Although the final selection of a new campus location has not been made, one thing has been decided, according to the president of the school board. The new campus will be 40 acres. That is at the center of the Killdeer School District’s drive to locate, option

and purchase the new campus site. The district has optioned three loca parcels. “All three parcels are 40-acres,” said the new board president, Larry Lundberg, recently. There also is an advantage currently with the prices of the 40-acre parcels, he added. “At the prices we have been given ...

we would have been foolish not to buy them,” he said. “We want to make sure we have enough room for future expansion to meet our needs for many generations to come. We (the board) just felt that 40 acres was where we need to be,” he explained. The three parcels currently with an option are not within the city limits right now. “They are certainly within the

consideration of the city planning and zoning.” According to Lundberg, the location of a new school campus coud become a magnet fr development nearby. He even cited Killdeer history and the

Lately, 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 two to four weeks may continue into the end of September but eventually dry out, he said. Although farmers and 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
