Dunn County Herald to close
This is the final issue of the Dunn County Herald. Our weekly newspaper here, which has been published by Country Media, Inc. for almost 19 years, will cease publication permanently with the issue of Nov. 29, 2019. For several years, said company president Steve Hungerford, the Dunn County Herald’s available pool of advertisers, subscribers and em-
ployees had been slowly eroding, to the point where the newspaper had been only marginally profitable for some time. “We kept plugging away,” said Hungerford, “but newspapers today – both big and small – are in sharp decline because of competition from social and online media, as well as the economics of local market conditions.
“This is especially the case for small-town papers that are owned by companies based out of town or out of state.” Country Media is headquartered in Salem, Oregon. “For months now, we’ve been looking for local residents who might have an interest in buying the Dunn County Herald,” said Hungerford, “but we’ve not had any success. “Our hope is that Country Media
will be followed by one or more local residents who’ll start a newspaper and thrive with the community’s backing.” Meantime, the company will begin refunding Dunn County Herald prepaid subscriptions during the month of December. “We’re sorry it has come to this,” said Hungerford. “It’s a sad day for all of us.”

Hello, Shirley says to, “Tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving”! So there, that is from both of us. I hope you had a great day, or several days with family and friends. The diet after Thanksgiving begins now. Many of my friends from years ago remember the years I served in the State Senate. I did a ten-year sentence during the eighties and early nineties. During my time, I never saw a gaming bill that I didn’t like. Maybe it was because agriculture is such a gamble anyway, that to risk a few dollars on the turn of a card or a roll of the dice is much less of a gamble than seeding wheat or turning a bull out with a bunch of cows. I liked lottery bills, blackjack bills, and poker bills. A couple years ago, a friend from those years called and needed assistance. He wanted me to call a couple of current legislators and urge them to support electronic pull-tab machines. For those not familiar with these, they are a close relative of slot machines. Even
DEAN MEYER down to the “Ding-ding-ding”! I did my friend the favor and we now have e-pull-tab machines in a lot of places. Fast forward to last week. I sometimes stop at a local establishment in mid or late afternoon to visit with friends. One of these friends we refer to as “Wyoming Bob”. Wyoming Bob is a rancher from Wyoming who is also a mechanic that followed the “boom” to Dickinson.
He is a rancher, a mechanic, and a barbecue master. He is world famous. At a couple of bars in Dickinson. Anyway, every time I stop at this one local stop, maybe once a week, Wyoming Bob is sitting at the same chair, in front of the same machine, putting bills in as fast as he can. So lately, I have made it my mission to save this one individual from the ravages of gaming, which I helped instigate. Last week, I laid it on pretty heavy. “Bob. Bob. You are ruining your life. You have to get away from that machine. You don’t visit anymore. You have developed an addiction that is overwhelming your life! I will help. I have the number to call.” In the middle of my speech, he hit a five hundred dollar winner! Wyoming Bob let out a western yell and hollered at the cocktail waitress, “Get everyone in the house a drink on me! Except for Dean.” I’m through saving people. Two to one, he’s playing the jars or machines when I stop later today. Later, Dean
OMDAHL: Franklin had misgivings about U.S... By Lloyd Omdahl Ben Franklin was one delegate to the 1787 Constitutional Convention who was happy when the four months of secret meetings ended and he was free to walk the streets of Philadelphia. Only two-thirds of the delegates signed the founding document while a good many went home unhappy. So when an inquisitive citizen asked Ben what the convention created, he replied, with skepticism “a republic if you can keep it. “ After all, this was a new experiment tottering beyond the edge of proven principles of governance. It was weakly supported by the delegates and the states that would have to ratify it. In just about every state, the Constitution was ratified only after a hard fight and a hair-splitting vote. So Ben inserted a big “IF” in the future. Nevertheless, we have survived for 240 years under the shadow of “IF” by fighting another war with England, wrecking the country with a bloody civil war, numerous depressions, several skirmishes, two world wars, and several mistakes since. If Ben were here today, looking at polarizing politics, he would still say “IF”. As the democratic characteristics of the nation have been altered since our founding, the greatest threat that has evolved is an electorate that is not prepared to keep the republic. By its own choice, the electorate has chosen to remain ignorant and lazy. We have lost ground in the quality and quantity. Civic leaders mourn the quality of voting they see at every level of government. At one time, North Dakota had a constitutional provision permitting the legislature to require a literacy test
for voters. The legislature didn’t touch it. Around 1900 good government organizations advocated tests to upgrade the quality of the voters. While tests may have had some positive effects, knowing the name of the state capital does nothing to decide much about our sabre rattling in Iran, or knowing the number of stars in the flag doesn’t help decide about earth warming. Before the electorate will get serious about saving the
republic, they will need to recognize their stake in the system and in each election. To a great degree they don’t have a clue. Few facts and all hearsay. They don’t connect the election with their daily lives and therefore have no interest in the outcome. They represent the 224,000 North Dakotans who didn’t vote in the last presidential election. Imagine: 224,000 North Dakotans who dissed the republic. Who were the 224,000
missing North Dakotans? Our counties have bent over backward to encourage everyone to join the electorate. This is a strange statement when we see the legislature doing its best to pass laws to discourage voters, mostly Democrats. Such behavior by a single person would be unChristian. However, getting 130 legislators to vote together

although it only passed authorizing legislation but left the counties to do the work. Researchers have found that education is the greatest single influence on voting behavior. The more education means a bigger horizon of interest, hopefully extending to the nation and
the world. So how do we get those in the lower ranks of education and income to the polls to cast an intelligent vote? Can the Republic be saved in a world as fast-moving and complicated with the present electorate? Only “IF”.

LOCAL Obituaries
Sharon Gjermundson 1939 - 2019 Born an Irish belle on July 18, 1939, Sharon Colleen (McNamara) Gjermundson was the third daughter of Jerome and Pearl (Schmidtke) McNamara, Watford City, ND. Sharon unexpectedly passed from her earthly life to eternal presence in Heaven in her home at Marshall, ND, on Sunday morning, November 17, 2019. Visitation will be held Thursday, November 21 from 4 to 7 p.m. with a prayer service at 6 p.m. at Stevenson’s Funeral Home, Dickinson, ND. Funeral services are Friday, November 22 at 10:30 a.m., also at Stevenson Funeral Home with Pastor Tim Voth officiating. Burial will follow at Kyseth Cemetery, Marshall. At age 7, Sharon moved with her parents and older sisters from Watford City to Taylor, ND, where she attended school and graduated in 1957. In her high school years, Sharon was in choir, band (drummer!), and cheerleading; she was also an accomplished roller skater and baton twirler. It was at Taylor High School where she met Stanley Gjermundson, and they were married in Taylor,
April 6, 1957. A town girl soon became acclimated to farm life as she and her husband, Stanley, worked and became parents while living on the Clinton Perhus farm/ranch north of Taylor. In 1958, the family moved to the Strand farm/ranch 8 miles northwest of Marshall. The Gjermundson Family grew adding four more children, and with determination, hard work, and the grace of God, they farmed and ranched there for five decades. In the spring of 1970, Sharon became the postmaster at Marshall, and the family moved to Marshall that fall. She often provided temporary services in area post offices at Dodge, Halliday, Dunn Center, Richardton, and Hebron. Sharon operated the Marshall Store and post office until she became postmaster in Taylor in 1998 and retired in 2009 at age 70. Sharon was a member of Marshall Lutheran Church, where she served as a Sunday school teacher and superintendent and held various offices in the women’s group, presently serving as treasurer. As a member of the Taylor Senior Citizens, Sharon participated in activities and currently served as treasurer. In August 2008, Sharon was honored by the National Weather Service for 30 years of volunteer services as the Cooperative Weather Observer at Marshall, a service she still provided. Always ready to lend a hand in church and community activities, Sharon put the interests and needs of others first.
Even when diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 42, she continued caring for her family, friends, and neighbors. She was an accomplished seamstress, sewing western shirts for her boys and various clothing items for her daughters. Many of Sharon’s grandchildren, as babies and toddlers, spent hours with Grammie at the store. Over the past 10 years, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have frequently been in her care. She was often the shuttle service for the kids to/from school activities. Whether a rodeo, concert, ball game or any activity in which the grandchildren participated, Sharon was there to support and cheer. Sharon’s strong faith in the Lord Jesus saw her through life’s joys and trials, and she was a loving and encouraging Godmother to Craig Elkin, Laurie Paulson, Carla (Gjermundson) Schriver, Amy (Gjermundson) Estrada, and Darcy Dressler. Sharon is survived by her husband, Stanley; sons Brad (Jackie) Gjermundson and Casey (Colette) Gjermundson, all of Marshall; and Lyle (Sharlene) Gjermundson of Halliday; daughters Tammy (Rusty) Gilstad, New Salem; and Connie Gjermundson, Taylor. Her twelve grandchildren are Kane (Justene) Gjermundson, Hali (Bridger Bombach, Charleson), Kazanne, and Chesney Gjermundson, all of Marshall; Jori (Garrett) Peterson, Minot; Shaldon (Justin) Osterberg, Killdeer; Sadie (Tucker) Dale, Parshall; Marci (Rilie) Larson, Almont; Mi-
randa Jansson (Matthew Neisness), Menahga, MN, Sheyenne Hill (fiancé Jordan Risher), Savanna Hill, and Colton (Michaela) Hill, all of Fargo. Her precious great-grandchildren are Hollynn and Jet Gjermundson, Marshall; Landon, Paetyn, Saje and Oakleigh Jansson, Menahga, MN; Truett Hill, Fargo; and baby Dale and a second baby Hill arriving in 2020. Sharon is also survived by sisters, Jackie Enderle, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida; Gayle Elkin, Taylor; and brother Michael McNamara, Dickinson. She also leaves Gjermundson in-laws Clara (Ingvald) Paulson, Larry Gjermundson, Paul Gjermundson, and Bob (Eileen) Gjermundson, all of Taylor; Sylvia (Bill) Wendland and June (Marlin) Rambousek, all of Dickinson; Olga Lingle, Circle, MT; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews, loving neighbors and friends. Sharon was preceded in passing by her parents, Jerome and Pearl, her parents-in-law, Sven and Eva Gjermundson, several uncles, aunts, and cousins in the Schmidtke and McNamara families, brothersin-law Clarence Hanson, Leo Enderle, and Evan Lingle, and infant granddaughter, Jasmine Leigh Gjermundson in 2001. May blessed memories of Sharon remain among her family and many friends, whom she dearly loved. Remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www.stevensonfuneralhome.com.

Ruby Benz 1923 - 2019 Ruby Benz, 96, of Dunn Center passed away on Thursday, October 31, 2019 at Hill Top Home of Comfort in Killdeer, ND. Her funeral service will be at 1:00 p.m. Friday, November 8, 2019 at Normanna Lutheran Church in Dunn Center, ND. Burial will follow at the Dunn Center Cemetery. Visitation for Ruby will take place from 5:00 pm. to 7:00 p.m., Thursday, November 7, 2019 at Stevenson Funeral Home in Killdeer with a prayer service at 6:00 p.m. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service at the church on Friday, November 8, 2019. Ruby Marie Hausauer was born on October 4, 1923 in Zap, ND to Jacob and Emilie (Sommer) Hausauer. She grew up north of Dunn Center on the family farm and graduated from Dunn Center High School in 1942. During WWII she lived in Killdeer and worked for the local ration board. Ruby married Walter Benz on March 12, 1946 at Normanna Lutheran Church. They lived on the Heise Ranch northwest of Killdeer for 8 months until they bought a ranch 3 miles east of Dunn Center where they raised cattle, grain, and their 5 sons and 1 daughter. Ruby was a member of Normanna Lutheran Church where she taught
Sunday school. She was also an active WELCA member and their meticulous treasurer for many years. Ruby was actively involved with her children in Cub Scouts and 4-H. She enjoyed the 4-H garden and later earned the Friend of 4-H Award. Recycling, hunting for arrow heads, crocheting afghans, wheat weaving, and visiting brightened her days. Walter died in 1993 and Ruby continued to live on the farm. She stayed busy with Lisa barrel racing, visiting Craig in Florida, and traveling. She moved to Hawk’s Point, Dickinson in 2014 for a short time and then moved to Hilltop Home of Comfort, Killdeer where she especially enjoyed conversing with other people in German.

The Killdeer FFA Parliamentary Procedure Team competed at the ND State Leadership Development Event Day held on November 20th in Bismarck. The team earned their spot to compete at state after claiming the District 8 Parliamentary Procedure Championship. The purpose of this leadership development event is to encourage the effective use of the official FFA opening and closing ceremonies and to provide recognition to the chapters excelling in the proper use of parliamentary procedure in conducting chapter meetings. The team performed
very well and advanced from the preliminary round to the finals. In the finals, there are only four teams competing. After the results were tabulated, Killdeer was named the ND FFA State Runner-Up in Parliamentary Procedure! To put it in perspective of how much of an honor and challenge it is to earn a Gold in Parliamentary Procedure at State: There are over 80 chapters in the state. The state is
divided up into eight districts. Only the top two teams from each district qualify for state. This means there are only 16 teams at state; and of those sixteen, only six golds were award. We were one of the six golds. In other words… we are one of the Best of the Best in Parliamentary Procedure! Congratulations to the Killdeer FFA Parliamentary Procedure Team on this great accomplishment!
Two officers also qualified in individual events at District Leadership to compete at the State LDE Day. Killdeer FFA was represented in the Employment Skills and Prepared Public Speaking LDEs. Jaylynn Hicks represented the Killdeer FFA Chapter in Employment Skills and earned a Gold rating. Faith Norby represented the Killdeer FFA Chapter in the Prepared Public Speaking LDE and earned a Silver.

Killdeer needed a free throw in the final minute to help hold off Heart River in the Fifth and Sixth Grade championship game of the annual Killdeer Elemtary Basketball tournament. It was the second straight championship in the school’s namesake tournament which has been a hallmark of the elementary boys basketball season for 33 years. The Cowboys claimed the title by a 27-24 margin, thanks to turnovers and help from the free throw line. Down by a 27-24 margin in the final 12 seconds, the
Cougars watched their last chance bounce away when the Cowboys took possession and ran the clock out. Killdeer jumped out to an 8-4 lead in the first quarter and held a 16-14 edge over Heart River at halftime. The gap closed to 19-18 by the end of the third quarter, with the Cowboys holding onto the lead. Jace Handy finished the game with 11 points, while Jaxson Reese. Jake Miller and Orlando Starr each finished with four points. To get into the finals, the Cowboys knocked off New Salem/Almont by a lopsided 19-6 score.

Killdeer girls prep for hoop season Submitted story The Killdeer High School girls basketball program opened up their 2019 season with their first practice on November 18. They are currently ranked ninth in the North Dakota Hoopster that collects all the coaches pre-season polls to start off the high school girls basketball program. Coach Chad Dahlen is in his second year of coaching the Killdeer Cowboy’s girls program and is in his 20th year of coaching basketball at all levels. He is assisted by former Killdeer standout Dani Sadowsky and by former head girl’s coach Sarah Doe. Coach Dahlen hopes that his team is overlooked this year, as his expectations are that his team can make the final four of the region tourney. “ We have a lot of balance in our region this year with the defending region champs- Hettinger-Scranton as just a step above everyone else. I really see this year as anyone’s title though. Many of the teams in the region put many hours in the gym over the summer and hit team camps all over the state to improve. “Our girl’s played in team camps in Minot, Devils Lake, Dickinson and hit basketball leagues all of June and July to try to put us in the mix for a region title shot. “I loved the dedication that many of the girls gave us this summer and hopefully that will translate to a few more wins this
year. We have a lot of varsity basketball experience coming back this year and with that basketball experience I feel that will give us more of an edge in the close games where we can close some teams out. “ Returning Letter winners to watch for this upcoming season are seniors Shyanne Oversen, Tyra Dahlen, Chelsey Morlock, Maddy Wilhelm, Juniors- Myranda Reiss and Kelly Bang and Freshmen- Gracie Doe. These players all put work into the offseason and improved their basketball IQ with the experience they had from last year and during the off-season. We will have some good balance and speed with this group. Some newbies to the varsity this year are Junior- Hannah Kisse, Sophomores Liza Stahl and Shelbie Schmidt and Freshmen Sadie Stahl. Most of these girls participated in the off-season workouts and tourneys and are ready to jump up to the next level. The Killdeer Cowboys will get tested early as they will have two home games December 3rd and December 5th, against two teams that are both ranked #2 in the preseason polls in their region in the Stanley Blue Jays and the Shiloh Skyhawks. These two teams both will give the girls a chance to see where they are at and what they will need to improve on as they start their season and head into the Roughrider tourney the following week.

Business Manager’s Report – In preparation for the acquisition of a new Business Manager, Mr. Larson addressed the board with his suggestions for his successor to help create a smooth transition at the beginning of the calendar year. His current position is responsible for the front office operations, food service, building, grounds, equipment and vehicle maintenance. He strongly suggested the separation of these responsibilities and the return of the focus of the Business Manager to the financial oversight of the district. He shared his proposal for the redistribution of responsibilities with existing staff members. Turning to salary projections, he distributed his Historical Salary Comparisons and gave his wage and benefit recommendations for the next Business Manager. Concluding with a training schedule for the newly hired Business Manager, he shared both time and expense estimations for the board’s review. Superintendent’s Report – Superintendent Duletski reviewed his further suggestions for the Business Manager transition and offered his suggestions for the continued search for a replacement for Mr. Larson. Turning to the materials offered in the board packets concerning the ND DPI State Aid Adequacy Formula, he gave a brief review of both the communication with the state office and the challenges ahead for the New Business Item 2 as well as the complexity and impact of this initiative already underway. New Business 1. Added – Replacement of the District Security System. Referencing the previous bids received for the replacement of the aging security and access system, Superintendent Duletski offered to the board the bid prepared by Consolidated Telcom and asked the representatives from Consolidated to present their proposal to the board. Questions and general discussion followed the proposal. At this time, Carissa Swenson advised the board that she would be refraining from the discussion and abstaining from voting as she holds a seat on the board of Consolidated Telcom. Barry Van Wagner made a motion to approve the bid from Consolidated Telcom. Jennifer Kuntz seconded the motion, motion carried with Carissa Swenson abstaining from the vote. 2. Future Changes to the State Funding Formula Mr. Larson began by explaining the various documents supplied to the board for review and highlighted the calculations and projections offered by the ND DPI
Director of Finance. He explained the probable re-calibration of the state funding in an effort to attempt to equalize the state funding across all districts both metropolitan and rural. Superintendent Duletski then furthered the topic by using the individualized data for the HPS district only and spoke on the impact of phased adjustments that would begin in the 2020/2021 school year. Extensive general discussion followed. 3. Approval of Kitchen Personnel This item was deferred by Superintendent Duletski for future discussion. 4. Approval of Office Personnel This item was deferred by Superintendent Duletski for future discussion. 5.
