‘Why not me?’
Heitkamp calls USPS to address issues Amidon, Halliday
Breast cancer survivor refused to let disease define her life story
DUNN COUNTY HERALD
By Bryan Gallegos Dunn County Herald
Editor’s Note: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Dunn County Herald will be doing profiles on breast cancer survivors this month. Mary Wheeling just about wore out her running shoes after competing in a marathon and a dozen halfmarathons over the years. Now she thinking about taking up biking. To say the 60-year-old Wheeling likes to be active is a massive understatement. Last week, she scurried around with final details for her son’s wedding, a milestone that was a source of inspiration to her. She has a bubbly personality with a quick smile and sparkle in her eye. Wheeling, as many of her friends say, is the picture of life. But there was a time not too long ago that the “picture of life” was facing death squarely in the eye. Wheeling was diagnosed with breast cancer Nov. 17, 2000 - on her mother’s birthday - and doctors gave her a less-than-50-percent chance that she would survive. “I was like, ‘oh-oh,’” said Wheeler, a retired teacher at Killdeer Public School.
“I’m not going to lie. It’s scary. My main concern was for my husband, Bob, and the kids. I wanted to be around for graduations and weddings.” - Mary Wheeling “I’m not going to lie. It’s scary. My main concern was for my husband, Bob, and the kids. I wanted to be around for graduations and weddings.” It was a topsy-turvy time for Wheeler and her family. She went from “Everything’s OK” to “You have cancer” in a matter of weeks. She had a biopsy to remove a tumor in her left breast and doctors thought it was either a cyst or a fibro adenoma, which is a benign tumor and were pretty confident it was See STORY

U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp called on U.S. Postmaster General Megan Brennan to take concrete steps to protect quality mail delivery and service in Amidon and Halliday now and in the future following the news of the anticipated post office closure in Amidon and service disruption in Halliday. Heitkamp pressed Brennan to make sure her agency is listening to the needs of the Amidon and Halliday communities, and to communicate a comprehensive plan on how the needs of both communities to access the full array of postal services will be met. “No North Dakotan should have to see their standard of service interrupted or their local post office disappear – but too often, many rural families and businesses experience disruptions – without much prior warning, explanation, or future plan in place from USPS,” said Heitkamp. “That’s unacceptable. Today I called on Postmaster General Brennan to address the recently announced post office challenges in Amidon and Halliday – communities that rely heavily on mail service. It’s absolutely critical that the See USPS

Former Killdeer teacher put faith in ‘guardian angels’ STORY FROM PAGE 1
nothing. But then, after test came back on the tumor, doctors said they found cancer. The pathology report said high grade infiltrating (invasive) duct carcinoma. The report said there was evidence of capillary/lymphatic space invasion. Those were technical terms, but Wheeling knew it was not good. In her journal, Wheeling wrote: “What am I supposed to do with this? I had two choices ... I could go completely wacko over this and make life miserable for everyone including myself or I could surrender, do everything possible to get better and leave the results to God.” Questions flooded Wheeling’s mind. What else could I do? I had absolutely no control over this situation. It was all so unbelievable and then I thought ... why not me? Others have suffered so much, why should I be exempt from adversity? With that, Wheeling placed her life with her
Mary Wheeling is smiles as she stands by her collection of angels. Family and friends gave her these figurines as a show of support during her battle with breast cancer. (Photo by Bryan Gallegos) Lord. It was faith that was cultivated and grew from watching her parents, who were married for 65 years. In all, she had two surgeries, the second surgery was needed because doctors didn’t get around the tumor area, and they wanted to check her lymph
nodes. After the second surgery, the doctor told her husband things didn’t look good. He said the breast tissue appeared as if there was cancer and the lymph nodes looked swollen and thought cancer was there as well.
He said there was a 40-to50 percent chance of survival but that was questionable. “He said he was preparing us for the worst,” Bob Wheeling said. The doctor said further tests would be conducted and they would know in
two days. That was the longest two days. The results came back negative on the lymph nodes and breast tissue. In her journal, Wheeling wrote about that day: “We were elated, ecstatic, we celebrated! Was it a miracle? I first thought, oh that couldn’t be ... then the words ‘evidence of lymphatic space invasion’ ... 40-50 percent chance of survival” ... came back to me and I thought ... I could have a miracle! Why not me?’” She had eight chemo treatments and six weeks of radiation treatments in Bismarck. And during this time, her friends and family, whom Wheeling calls her “guardian angels,” provided love and support. They were the helping where ever they could, cooking, cleaning and even painting the house. They also set up a schedule to drive Wheeling to Bismarck for treatments. They comforted her. They prayed for her. They loved her. “I have great guardian angels,” she said with that warm smile. She has a nice collection of angel figurines friends
and family gave her. They are displayed at her home. Some are tall, others tiny. Some are made of glass, others wood. Some are simple, others have inspirational words. The dozen-or-so angels represent her community - a community of love and caring that carried her through some of the darkest days of her life. When she lost her hair because of the radiation treatment, Wheeling had to wear a wig when she returned to school. The next day, teachers at Killdeer school also wore wigs as a show of support. “It meant a lot,” she said of the teachers’ wig-wearing gesture. “It was hard, but I got used to wearing that wig. We laughed about it. We had a lot of bald jokes. You have to.” She met the disease with faith and positive energy, something that will always impress her husband. “She was the strong one. Right away, her faith and strength took over,” Bob Wheeling said. “Nobody knows how they’re going to react if they get cancer. But If I ever get something like that, I want to be like her.”

Bryan's Song I was enjoying a cup of hoMy dad once told me to that you never know what’s going to happen on any given day. I remembered that tidbit of wisdom this past weekend after scanning the football scores that caught me by surprise. The first happened on Friday night when Hazen hosted Southern McLean in a Region 4 game. Hazen was 6-1 after having come into Killdeer and knocked off the thensecond-ranked Cowboys. Southern Mclean was 2-5. Guess what? Southern McLean won on the road. On any given day, right Pops? My dad shared that bit of wisdom when I was 16 and ready to buy my first car. I actually had two choices - a sweet 1968 Chevy Camaro or a drab-looking 1969 Chevy Impala. It was no contest between which car I wanted. The Camaro was candy apple red with chrome rims. The interior needed a little work, but the engine was tight. The Impala was a yucky shade of green and
By Bryan Gallegos looked like my aunt’s car. For two years I saved for this opportunity. I mowed and raked lawns. I delivered papers. I sacked groceries. I collected and sold empty pop bottles. And there were a few coins that I received as birthday presents. The Camaro stud wanted $1,200. The Impala dud wanted $700. I had exactly $977.38. My dad wanted me to buy the Impala. Grudgingly, I agreed. But moments before we were headed to Impala guy’s house, Camaro guy said he would sell me his car for $1,000 if I could do it today. I told him I could have the money to him first thing in the morning. He said OK. My wise old man shook his head and said, “You never know what’s going to happen on any given day.”
Yes, I do, I said with a smirk. “I’m going to have a sweet ride, tomorrow.” I managed to scrape up the remaining $22.68 and was up at the crack of dawn and headed to get my new ride. But when I got there, the car was gone. I rang the door bell and Camero guy answered the door. “Where’s my car?” “I just sold it this morning,” he said. I was crushed. But I still had Impala guy. Yes, the car was ugly and didn’t have chrome rims, but with the money I would be saving, I could fix it up. He lived three blocks away, but the walk seemed like three miles. As I walked onto his street, I could see the car sitting in the driveway. I guess it wasn’t that bad looking. I rapped on his door and he came out with a cup of coffee. I told him I decided to buy the car. “I can’t sell it to you,” he said. “Why not?” “Because it’s not mine. I just sold it 10 minutes ago.” On any given day, right Pops?

I guess over the years I’ve probably written twenty stories about fall roundups. From gathering yearlings on Standing Rock, to picking up pairs on Fort Berthold. Used to be you’d leave pretty dang early so you could get the gather done before Hugh brought out his handy dandy burgers, beans, pickles, and Hershey bars. Shirley’s brother, Red, and I got in kind of a contest to see who could get there first. I had a little advantage because I lived about 15 miles closer to the rez than Red. But I was bigger so it was harder for me to get up in the morning. It got so bad we were hardly sleeping in our beds. I’d put a horse in the barn at night and give him a good bait of grain so he was ready to go in the morning. I would make a thermos of coffee so I could gulp that down on the way. And I’d leave by three or four in the morning. Finally, it got so bad we would meet at four a.m.! Four a.m.! And it didn’t get light enough to ride until six! We would sleep in the pickups until daylight. Damn, we were dumb. But we were cowboys. I guess that kind of goes together.
By Dean Meyer We are doing a gather now west of Twin Buttes. It’s rough country and a pretty good haul from the house to the pasture. I suppose it is 75 or 80 miles. Nick and I were riding down Hay Draw. It’s a big old canyon that runs south into Hans Creek. It’s beautiful country. But there are a few spots that you really don’t want to ride into. We spotted a couple cows on a side hill. They were trying to get down to the trail but were on the wrong side of a hill that had a big slide on it. So they had come to a standstill. Nick and I tried to wait them out, but the grass was lush and green where they were so they were pretty content to just stand there and eat. Being older and wiser than Nick, I spotted kind of a deer trail that wound up through this slide. I pointed it out to Nick so he could try to ride up there. Now Nick is a cow-
boy. He wouldn’t get off his horse and lead him through this bad stuff. He’d ride him. And he was riding a good sorrel horse that would pick his way through anything you pointed him at. With some encouragement from me, they started up this bad spot. They got hung up in some bull berries and had to take a detour. About half way up, I saw Nick’s horse slip into one of the big cracks on this slide! And it’s pretty much straight down if he goes over the edge. I hollered at Nick to bail off. I mean I screamed “BAIL Off!” And he did. Just as he slipped off, that old pony tried to lunge out of that crevice and over the edge he went. He did a complete roll over and crashed down through the brush. When he got to the bottom, he stood up, shook himself, and went to eating grass! And I was thinking to myself, I’m glad I’m older and wiser so I don’t have to ride into stuff like that! Later, Dean Dean Meyer is a former legislator and ranches in southwest North Dakota. He has been a columnist around the state for years.

Politics seems to get more dysfunctional every day. Some question if a two-party system even exists anymore. Where’s the full and fair debate about the issues? Hillary says she’s putting every coal miner in America out of a job, nary a peep. Donald says/does something offensive years ago and it’s front page news for weeks. And, make no mistake, in the last 30 years, BOTH of these candidates have said some REALLY offensive things. And, we can’t seem to get enough. This salacious, 24/7 news-cycle designed to keep whetting the mass appetite for this “schlock-fest.” Who could possibly run for public office today if we’ve ever had a spine or done something politically incorrect? This nonvetting process insures that Brand A’s welldocumented, 188-year agenda continues while Brand B, 162 years old itself, at least for the last 28 years, seems to just be content to be the other’s lackey. What is maddening about the status quo is that neither party appears able to change. The sole purpose of a bureaucracy is to perpetuate itself. So, is it, as so aptly put by Mel Brooks’ character, Gov. William J. Lepotomaine, in Blazing Saddles, “Gentlemen, we’ve gotta protect our phony baloney jobs?” Or, is it something else? Democrats sit on their hands and whistle when Clinton makes a stupid remark and Republi-
By Pat Merriman cans clamor for Trump’s head and elbow each other aside at the public microphone to denounce their candidate for his. A virtual beehive as Dem worker bees scurry around to protect the queen while ‘Pubs buzz from one press conference to another doing a daily re-enacting of the death scene in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”. The entire hive scared to death that the fatal charge of “racism,” or “misogyny” or “homophobia” will fall on them too if the self-anointed PC Police show up to wag a finger. Nineteenth century Harvard Theologian, James Freeman Clarke, said: “The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks about the next election while the statesman thinks about the next generation.” Amen. A candidate shouldn’t give a darn about the media talking heads if he/ she wants to fix what is most certainly broken in America. It ain’t “bread and games,” it’s the next two decades of SCOTUS’ appointments, terrorism, war, unemployment, gun ownership, debt, crushing cost of Obamacare, lack of prestige on the world stage, lawlessness in our cities and, stupid energy policies.

And, another quote that we need to remember, as the $20 trillion national debt doubled under Barrack Obama, comes from patriot Nathan Hale. “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” Conservatives, of either party, please stop suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and letting the liberal left define you and spend us to death. Stand up for what’s right and see what happens next. Because on Oct. 4, I saw Mike Pence do the unthinkable, as a fellow Roman Catholic, when he dared to condemn lateterm abortion. Something, latest polls show is opposed by at least 80 percent of Americans. You could have heard a pin drop as the entire country held its collective breath and waited for the wrath of the PC. But, it never got momentum. Americans eligible to vote totaled 218,959,000 in 2012. Less than twothirds (146,311,000) actually bothered to register. And, just over half (126,144,000) actually went to the polls. So, at the end of the day, it is our apathy that is electing these “politicians” and destroying our children’s future. Please ignore the “experts” and get to the polls on Nov. 8. Pat Merriman is the Dunn County State Attorney. He is a photographer and also officiates high school and college athletics events in the area.

OBITUARIES
Arlene Wold, 82
Arlene Wold, 82, of Watford City, N.D., passed away on Monday, Oct. 3, 2016 at the Good Shepherd Nursing Home in Watford City. Friends may sign the on-line register and give their condolences at www.fulkersons.com Her funeral service was held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016 at First Lutheran Church in Watford City. Pastor Rob Favorite officiated and burial followed in the Banks Lutheran Churchyard Cemetery northeast of Watford City. Arlene Joanne Wold was born June 23, 1934 on the family farm to Arthur C. and Mabel (Skoglund) Nelson. She attended rural Nelson school until the eighth grade. She attended Watford City High School and graduated in 1952 with honors. She worked at First International Bank and later an oil abstract company. She then met her special husband, Wesley Wold, and was married at the Garden Lutheran Church on Oct. 30, 1954. They lived on the farm and ranch for more than 50 years. She worked hard on the Nelson and Wold farms. She was active in the Banks Homemaker Club and the Banks Lutheran Church. She was Sunday School teacher for many years and was active in the Banks Ladies Aid. Arlene also served as President of the Good Shepherd Home Auxiliary. She loved her farm home. She raised flowers and enjoyed gardening, as well as helping where needed on the farm and ranch. Arlene loved to
Arlene Wold cook and bake, especially Lady Baltimore cakes. She always said her special hobby was cleaning house. Wesley and Arlene spent a lot of time together and had a love like no other. Wesley passed away on July 4, 2008. After Wesley’s death, she spent some time with her daughter in Wisconsin, where she made many friends. Arlene continued to live on the farm until 2013 when she moved to the Horizons, and in 2015 to the Good Shepherd Home. She dearly loved her family. Arlene is survived by her children, Sherlene (Reinhard) Hauck of Dunn Center; Gary (Sue) Wold of Watford City; and Michelle Moe of Appleton, WI. She had eight grandchildren, Ryan (BreeAnn) Hauck, Shanna (Ryan) Vander Wel, Trevor Hauck, Katie Wold, Kara Wold, Krystal Wold, Brittany (Christopher) Johnson, and Mariah Moe and her special friend Jacob Wagner. She also had three great granddaughters, Addison and Jocelynn Hauck and Cora Vander Wel. She is also survived by one brother, Gerald Nelson. She was preceded in death by her husband Wesley, her parents, and one sister Phyllis Thorland.
‘Dear God ...’ Bible answers to everyday questions Question: There was a sin in my life that I’ve repented of. But, even though it’s no longer a part of my life I’m still strongly tempted by it. How do I get past it, or will I always struggle? Answer: The very real result of indulging sin is retaining its memory. The devil is eager to exploit and use it against us (Jm. 1:14-15). However, the memory of that sin, and temptation to return to it, doesn’t alter our standing before God. We are still His children (1 Jn. 5:1), saved by grace (Rm. 5:8; Eph. 2:8). And when you gave your life to Jesus His promise to you was that He would finish the “good work” He had begun in your life (Phil. 1:6). That good work began when you first chose to follow God, and to turn from sin. The work continues however (Matt. 16:24). The sin that has once been part of your life has also been part of your thoughts and behavior (Col. 1:21). As you now live for God new thoughts and behaviors will in time replace the old. Living your life as a “new creation” means that you lock the door against sin. (2 Cor. 5:17; Rm. 6:1-2). How? By avoiding compromising situations, and choosing to leave your old way of life behind as you walk with Jesus (Rm. 6:1113; Col. 3:1-3). When you do this you cooperate with God in “the renewing of your mind” (Rm. 12:1-2)! This cannot be gained by half hearted efforts. We get into trouble when we minimize our sin. Remember what it cost your Savior (Matt. 27:27-54). If you wish to be free from the sin that you are now “strongly tempted by” recognize the threat it is to your salvation, and to your walk with God. Give Him first place in your heart and He will do for you what you cannot do for yourself (Phil. 4:13). Thank you for your question,
“For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly.” (RSV) “I would say that in a situation of crisis the New Testament does not immediately say, ‘Let us pray’. It always says first, ‘Let us think, let us understand the truth, and let us take a firm hold of the doctrine. Prayer may be quite useless and quite void.” (Lloyd-Jones, Martyn; “Fellowship with God”, pg.12) How much is our anxious leap into convoluted prayers in times of crisis a confession that we have spent little time being conscience of God in the interim? I am staggered by my own often almost knee jerk response of frenzied prayer in the midst of crisis. And so, in considering the remarks of Lloyd- Jones I was taken back by the idea that prayer is nowhere the first response mechanism of the Bible. Certainly this is not to say that we shouldn’t pray in times of crisis but that the danger of knee jerk prayer is the irresponsibleness of our hearts and minds to eval-
By Reverend Ray uate the situation properly on spiritual terms, but rather from a purely selfish motive. This may sound completely out of character if not for an understanding of Peter’s support for such a notion. In my opening statement what I am saying is that such anxious prayers tell on us that we may have up to the point of crisis not considered any awareness of God. Thus the crisis has only revealed our negligence of something that should be integral to our Christian walk. The passage above introduces the conditional “if” that makes approval dependent upon our being conscience of God. Often the question that plagues our minds in the midst of crisis is that of; “Why?” When crisis comes, almost immediately our minds race through the cobwebs of explanation trying to sort
Friday, October 21, 2016
out and find the answer for the “Why?” And we do so because we have made little or no habit of being aware of God. The why question is both evidence of the lack of concentration of our mind upon God in the daily living of life and a slap in the face of God by the hand of selfishness and pride. Those whom Peter is speaking of encountered crisis, sorrow, suffering unjustly but delighted the heart of God in the midst of it, (this is the idea of “For one is approved”) because the essence of their Christianity was a continual awareness of God. But this is not to say that we are somehow to approach crisis as stoics or with indifference. It is rather a sense of confidence on the Sovereignty of God in all things. This is the same principle conveyed by Isaiah; “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isa. 26.3) If we are to please God as we meander through the hills and valleys of this life, we must begin to concentrate on
7
God. This whole idea is what James is pointing to when he warns those who boastfully say; “…today or tomorrow we will go into such a city…” (Jas. 4:13-15). Those who are conscience of God have grasped the breadth and depth of the phrase; “If the Lord will”. This was the appendix to every hope or plan that Paul anticipated. Those aware of God filter every step of life through the sovereignty of God’s will. The consciousness of God’s will govern every breath and thought. Then in the midst of crisis prayer will not be a knee jerk response to the situation but the continuation of the delightful preoccupation with Him who is majestically loveliest. We could well find ourselves out by testing how long we can maintain a session of thought that concentrates on God. How does our conscience of God score? The Rev. Ray Druckenmiller is the Pastor at Manning Community Church.

Analysis of Constitutional Measure No. 1 Constitutional Measure No. 1 was placed on the ballot by action of the 2015 North Dakota Legislative Assembly with the passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4010 (2015 Session Laws, Ch. 500). If approved, this constitutional measure would amend and reenact section 5 of Article IV of the North Dakota Constitution and prohibit an individual from serving in the legislative assembly, unless the individual lives in the district from which he or she was selected. Voting “YES” means you approve the measure as summarized above. Voting “NO” means you reject the measure as summarized above. Analysis of Constitutional Measure No. 2 Constitutional Measure No. 2 was placed on the ballot by action of the 2015 North Dakota Legislative Assembly with the passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 4003 (2015 Session Laws, Ch. 499). If approved, this constitutional measure would amend and reenact section 24 of Article X of the North Dakota Constitution by depositing ten percent of the revenue from oil extraction taxes in the common schools trust fund and ten percent of the revenue in the foundation aid stabilization fund. Except as otherwise provided, the principal of the foundation aid stabilization fund may be expended upon order of the Governor, only to offset reductions in state aid to school districts due to a revenue shortage. The measure also would allow the legislative assembly to use any excess principal balance of the foundation aid stabilization fund for education-related purposes whenever the balance exceeds fifteen percent of the general fund appropriation for state aid to school districts for the most recently completed biennium. Voting “YES” means you approve the measure as summarized above. Voting “NO” means you reject the measure as summarized above. Analysis of Initiated Constitutional Measure No. 3 Initiated Constitutional Measure No. 3 was placed on the ballot by petitions circulated by a sponsoring committee.

Voting “YES” means you approve the measure as summarized above. Voting “NO” means you reject the measure as summarized above. Analysis of Initiated Statutory Measure No. 4 Initiated Statutory Constitutional Measure No. 4 was placed on the ballot by petitions circulated by a sponsoring committee. If approved, it would provide for a new veterans’ tobacco tax trust fund in North Dakota Century Code Chapter 37-14 to fund certain veterans’ programs. This fund, among others, would be supported by an increase in the excise tax on cigarettes from $0.44 to $2.20 per package of twenty cigarettes, as well as an increase in the excise tax on cigars from 28% to 56% of the wholesale purchase price at which the product is purchased by distributors. The excise tax on all other tobacco products is increased a commensurate amount. The measure also would create an inventory tax on cigarettes and tobacco products. All revenues received by the tax commissioner under this measure would be allocated among the State’s general fund, the veterans’ tobacco trust fund, and the community health trust fund. The measure would create and amend provisions in Chapter 57-36, including new definitions for inhalation devices, liquid nicotine, and tobacco products; prohibiting retailers from being distributors and requiring distributors to keep additional records; setting requirements for registration of liquid nicotine retailers; and regulating the alteration of liquid nicotine. Finally, the measure would repeal two provisions of current law related to an excise tax on cigarettes and the exemption for taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products given to occupants of the State’s veterans’ home and the state hospital. Voting “YES” means you approve the measure as summarized above. Voting “NO” means you reject the measure as summarized above. Analysis of Initiated Statutory Measure No. 5 Initiated Statutory Measure No. 5 was placed on the ballot by petitions circulated by a sponsoring committee. If approved, this initiated measure would add a new chapter to Title 19 of the North Dakota Century Code creating an Act which provides for the medical use of marijuana for defined medical conditions, such as cancer, AIDS, hepatitis C, ALS, glaucoma, and epilepsy. To participate in the program, the Act would provide for identification cards and certificates of registration which would be issued by the Department of Health for patients, caregivers, and qualified facilities, if all requirements are met. The Act would create provisions for monitoring, inventorying, dispensing, cultivating and growing marijuana to be regulated and enforced by the Department of Health. A qualified patient could be dispensed up to three ounces of usable marijuana, and could grow marijuana if his or her home is located more than forty miles from the nearest registered facility. For violations, the Act would authorize the Department of Health to provide for corrective action, suspension, revocation, appeal, hearings, and referral for criminal prosecution. The Act would require the Department of Health to submit an annual report to the legislature regarding program statistics.

HOSA to host a blood drive Event scheduled for Killdeer school cafeteria
By Bryan Gallegos Dunn County Herald
Celeste Musick remembers fondly playing cops and robbers with her two brothers. She wasn’t a cop. And she wasn’t a robber. She was a doctor. “Whenever one of them got hurt, I was there to fix them up,” said the 17-yearold senior from Killdeer High School. “If they didn’t let me be the doctor, I was pretty sassy.” Fast forward several years, and Musick still wants to be the doctor. And she’s taking steps to chase her dream. Musick is the president of the Killdeer chapter of HOSA, which stands for Health Occupation Student Association. The organization is designed to give students who want to enter the medical field a platform to experience different aspects of the field. There are 18 students in the Killdeer chapter, and it will be hosting a blood drive on Oct. 25 in the school cafeteria. It will be from 1-6 p.m. Musick and her colleagues will be helping the staff from United Blood Services during the event. The students will not do the actual blood draw, but they will meet and greet donars before and then

(Submitted photo) provide cookies and juice during the mandatory wait period after the procedure. The event is open to the community. Walk-ins are welcome, but Musick said they are also taking reservations. Interested persons may contact Musick at 701-260-9455, or club members Taycee at 701430-3477 or Katelin at 7019487 to reserve a time. The blood drive is one of many projects the HOSA club has participated, around the school and in the community. And the spectrum is far and wide
for the club, some as simple as helping a business hang signs and local photographs for homecoming to sending books and other reading material to needy children in Africa. “A lot of what we do depends on what the students want to do,” Musick said. “We make sure the platform is there so we can do it.” Some of the things the club has set up locally include working with the Killdeer Ambulance Service for things like cardiopulminary resucitation, or
Plans for FFA Alumni Chapter in works DUNN COUNTY HERALD Dunn County is a community that has a rich history in agriculture and an economy based largely on the agriculture and energy industries. As such, agricultural education is a very valuable tool for the students of today and leaders of tomorrow. Various community members are looking to form a local FFA alumni chapter to provide support for agricultural education in Killdeer. An organizational meeting will be held in the Ag department of Killdeer High School at 7 p.m. on Oct. 24. Anyone
interested in helping promote agricultural education is encouraged to attend. It is not required that you were ever involved in FFA as a student, simply that you desire to support the Killdeer FFA chapter Killdeer Ag instructor David Leier’s vision for a local FFA Alumni Chapter is “a support group and another resource for the FFA students. With Killdeer being such an ag based community I know there’s a lot of experience and knowledge out there to be tapped into.” Alumni support is something that former instructor Larry Lundberg believes could be a valuable partnership for the students in the Killdeer
ag program. “We have a strong FFA tradition in this community and I think we need to build a base of support to help continue the tradition. An alumni chapter could be an important part of that. I personally want to invite any of my former students and parents to attend the meeting on Monday.” Goals of an FFA Alumni Chapter include being available to assist the advisor and students on a volunteer basis, raising funds to be used as scholarships for students to attend various FFA conferences or contests, and simply being an advocate for the students and agricultural education.
Music students pedaling holiday cheer By Bryan Gallegos Dunn County Herald
Killdeer band and choir students are selling wreaths and other holiday items to raise funds for a trip to New Orleans next year. In addition to the wreaths, the students are offering holiday sprays, centerpieces and mini trees. Also available are hangers and LED lights for the decorations. The students will be selling the items until Oct. 25. The items will be delivered Nov. 7-11. There are three different wreaths available, and they go for $30. The holiday sprays, a choice of three different kinds, are $25. The center-
pieces and mini table-top trees are also $30 each. The band and choir high school students must each raise $800 for
the trip through this and other fundraisers, said Abby Oase, director of the high school and junior high music department. The trip in 2017 is scheduled for May 29-June 3, 2017. The students will take master classes at the University of Loyola, where they will receive hands-on training from some of the top music educators in band and choir. The students will then take what they have learned and perform in a couple of shows, Oase said. And when they’re not in class or performing, they will enjoy the experience of New Orleans, she said, touring the city’s many tourist attractions like the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.

SPORTS Cowboys eager to start playoff march By Bryan Gallegos Dunn County Herald

Killdeer secures homecoming win Cowboys use balance to route Troopers
By Bryan Gallegos For the DC Herald
They say the biggest game is the one after the big game. The Killdeer Cowboys took that to heart in their homecoming game and whipped the GarrisonMax Troopers 54-12 at the Cowboy Sports Complex on Friday. That can’t be said for the Hazen Bison, who defeated Killdeer on Oct. 7 in the big game that secured the top seed from Region 4. Southern McLean shocked the Bison in the regularseason finale 20-18, which allowed the Cowboys to grab a share of the regular season title. Although the loss to Hazen was disappointing, the Cowboys refused the let that game define them. “We put it behind us. We know what we had to do, fix some mistakes and we had to move on,” said Kill-
deer lineman Rope Smith. “We take one game at a time and move on to the next one.” The next one will be Saturday when the Cowboys host the Velva-Sawyer Aggies at 1 p.m. Velva-Sawyer, 6-2, powered its way into the playoffs after upsetting Region 3 top seed Des-Lacs Burlington 16-8 last week. On Friday, the Cowboys’ focus in front of a large and loud homecoming crowd was on the Troopers, a potentially dangerous game against a team that entered the game with a 1-6 record. It was potentially dangerous because it would’ve been easy for the Cowboys to look past the Troopers to the playoffs. “We just wanted to make S:4.792” a good sure we played game,” said Killdeer head coach Lou Dobitz.
And they did. The Cowboys generated 429 yards in total offense, including 297 yards on the ground. The running game featured five different players average more than 10 yards per carry. As a team, Killdeer averaged about seven yards per carry. And the passing game was pretty lethal, as well. Quarterback Alex Sadowsky completed 8 of 11 passes for 128 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, Killdeer held the Troopers to 162 yards in total offense, most coming against secondstringers in the second half. Sadowsky had a hand in five touchdowns, running for two and passing for three - two to Hoyt Zander and the other to Riley Reiss.
In limited action, Dillan Jepson led the Cowboys with 80 yards and two touchdowns. This was the first time all season that Jepson failed to rush for 100 yards in the game. But he didn’t get many touches in the second half. Killdeer blew the game open with 27-point second quarter that led to a 41-6 lead at halftime. After Jepson and Cole Dukart scored on runs in the first quarter, Zander’s 18-yard scoring reception and a one-yard scoring play by Sadowsky had the Cowboys’ second-stringers itching to get in. After Garrison-Max took the goose egg off the scoreboard midway through the second quarter when Trevor Schmidt caught a two-yard pass from Noah Sloka.
We can help you save with Lifeline.
After the Cowboys recovered an onside kick, they scored six plays later on Jepson’s 16 yard run. And they scored about a minute later after Reiss caught a pass from team’s quarterback. First he intercepted a pass from Sloka and returned it to the Troopers’ 14 yard line. One play later, with just 11 ticks on the board, he caught a pass from Sadowsky for a score. Sadowsky closed out Killdeer’s scoring in the third quarter, first the quarterback rambled 12 yards for a score and then he hooked up with Zander on an 18-yard touchdown pass before the Troopers got a late touchdown in the fourth quarter against the reserves. “We played well. It’s a lot of fun when you get to come out and play at your best on homecoming night,” Smith said.
The Killdeer Cowboys will be facing a familiar foe when they host the VelvaSawyer Aggies at 1 p.m. on Saturday in the first round of the Class A state playoffs. This will be the fourth time in five years that the Cowboys will face the Aggies in the playoffs. The two teams met in the state semifinals last year with Killdeer coming away with a 33-0 victory. But that’s ancient history. The Cowboys view every game as ancient history when the game clock hits all zeros. They never look back. Velva-Sawyer is 6-2 and has staged a unlikely comeback for the right to face the Cowboys. The Aggies needed some help to reach the playoffs. It started three weeks ago, when the Lewis&Clark/Our Redeemer nipped the Aggies 27-26 midway through the season. The equation was simple: Velva-Sawyer needed to win its last two games and Lewis&Clark/ Our Redeemer needed to lose its last two games. Velva-Sawyer started with a 54-16 victory over Bottineau while Lewis&Clark/Our Redeemers fell to Des LacBurlington 18-0. The odds appeared stacked against the Aggies last week. They were facing Des Lacs-Burlington, who had not lost since the secSee MARCH

Beulah holds off Killdeer spikers in Region 7 play By Jarann Johnson
Cowboys urge fans to wear pink
For the DC Herald
BEULAH - The Killdeer Cowboys were close to coming up with an important Region 7 win Tuesday night. Killdeer jumped out 2-0 on Beulah but couldn’t win a third game and fell 3-2: 25-23, 25-22, 13-25, 15-25 and 15-7. The first set was tied 5-5 before Hannah Kling recorded a block and a kill to put Killdeer up by two. Killdeer couldn’t hold on to the lead and the match was tied 10-10. Killdeer stayed tough and got a kill from Taycee Butts to regain the lead 11-10. Killdeer looked like they were going to pull away for the win after another Butts earned another kill giving her team a 18-15. Beulah head coach Brian Filibeck called a timeout, trying to implore his team to fight for the first set. His timeout didn’t appear to work. Elissa Steffen, sophomore libero, recorded an ace right after the timeout lifting Killdeer to a 19-15 lead. Beulah mounted a comeback, going on a 4-0 run
Fans are encouraged to wear pink to Tuesday’s volleyball match between Killdeer and Mott/Regent on Tuesday. Killdeer High School Student Council and the SADD chapter at the school are sponsoring the initiative as a way to support the fight against breast to tie the set. Phoebe Garman, Beulah sophomore libero, capped the run with an ace. Killdeer head coach Allison Steffan didn’t call a timeout and let her team play through the tough set. Both teams refused to settle and the match was tied 20-20. Then Killdeer went on a 3-0 run, which gave them a 23-20 lead. Beulah rallied with its own spurt, which tied the score at 23. Killdeer showed poise during the critical moments and took advantage of back-to-back errors by Beulah to win 25-23. In the second set, the Cowboys used a 7-0 run to open a 17-11 lead. Elissa Steffan capped the run with an ace. Beulah battled back and

pulled within 22-21. The Cowboys had an answer when Bridgett Reiss recorded a block and Sydney Andersen followed with a kill, lifting Killdeer to a 24-22 lead. The set ended with Beulah making another error. With their backs against the wall, the Miners started fast in the third set, opening a 19-10 lead before securing the set 25-14. The fourth set was much closer before Beulah took control midway through the stanza. The Miners broke open the tight contest with a 5-0 run that stretched their lead to 1710 before securing the 2515 victory. With the match on the line in the fifth set, both team battled in the nipand-tuck affair.
Beulah broke it open, however, with a 7-0 run to take a 14-6 lead. The final spurt was started by a kill from junior middle Jade Schafer, who also recorded the last point of the run with another kill. Killdeer won, one side out, but couldn’t come all the way back. Beulah senior outside Abbey Shantz ended the match with a kill 15-7. After the game Steffan said her team came out strong and wanted to win the game. “Those first two sets we came out strong and wanted. We said that we have to be extra scrappy tonight. The girls did a really good job with that. They were scrappy, coming out confident – swinging hard, passing, talking to each

State championships on horizon Saturday for Killdeer runners By Bryan Gallegos Dunn County Herald
Practice is over. The training runs are for real now. The next time the Killdeer High School cross country teams will be running, it will be in the 2016 North Dakota High School Track and Field Championships in Jamestown on Saturday. The boys, fielding enough runners to score as a team this season, are scheduled to run on the 5-kilometer course at the Parkhurst Recreation Center at 11 a.m. Central time. The girls will follow at 11:45 a.m. Central time. Both teams, however, will not be a full strength. On the boys side, senior Colby Dukart and Dakota Bowen will not compete. Dukart is attending the national FFA conference in Indianapolis while Bowen is sidelined due to personal issues. On the girls side, Lane will be absent because she is taking an ACT test. Killdeer head coach Nathan Horgeshimer expects both teams to be competitive despite being shorthanded. “Cross country is always kind of a grind,” he
said. “But I think both teams have really come on strong.” Two weeks ago, the boys placed fifth in the West Region while the girls placed sixth. Still, the runners are battling with butterflies as the meet approaches. “I’m nervous,” admitted sophomore Garrett Calkins, who is making his second appearance at state. “But it’s going to be fun this year, because we can score as a team.” He said the camaraderie shown among the runners makes it special and takes his mind off the race. For freshman Jaylynn Hicks, the meet is a test of physical and mental toughness. She participated in state last year and that experience will be a benefit this time around. “I’m a little more prepared. I know what to expect,” she said. The boys team will feature Jace Anderson, Stephen Westarp, Calkins, Orion Bowen and Nathan Sadowsky. The girls roster will include: Hannah and Danielle Benz, Hicks, Corie Dobitz, Shawnee Hansen, Bailey Smith, Anwyn Robinson and Tyra Dahlen.

The Aggies stunned Des Lacs-Burlington 16-8, and then got qualified for the playoffs when Lewis&Clark/Our Redeemers was shut out. “Going into last week, it wasn’t in our control,” said Velva-Sawyer defensive coordinator Matt Weidler. “Our kids are very happy they get to play one more game. We treated last week’s game as a playoffs game.” The Aggies have owned the teams they have played in Region 4 this year. They are 3-0 against the region, and have outscored their opponents 144-0. But they didn’t play Killdeer. “We have a ton of respect for Killdeer. Killdeer plays the game right. They play whistleto-whistle and they never give up,” Weidler said. Indeed. The Cowboys regrouped after a disappointing loss to Hazen to roll past Garrison-Max 52-12. Coupled with Southern McLean’s shocking upset of Hazen, the Cowboys grabbed a share of the Region 4 regular season title. Hazen, however, received the top seed based on their victory over the Cowboys. Still, there’s no talk of facing again. That’s just not the Cowboy way.

Improving rural service is goal
USPS
FROM PAGE 1
Postal Service not only listens to their concerns, but communicates a solid plan on how their service will be maintained. When I brought Postmaster General Brennan to Bismarck two months ago, I know she heard the challenges expressed by our business owners and community members loud and clear – and I’ll keep pressing to make sure the Postal Service puts the lasting solutions we discussed to work for mail service folks can count on.”
The call builds on months of Heitkamp’s work to improve mail service across North Dakota – particularly in rural areas – through her Fix My Mail initiative and survey, to which hundreds of North Dakotans have responded with stories on the mail challenges they have experienced at their home, business or community. Just two months ago, Heitkamp brought Brennan to North Dakota to visit a mail processing facility, hear firsthand from community and business leaders about how North Dakotans have been impacted by slow service

Common sense is standard in North Dakota, and we need more of it in Washington. That is why I first ran for office in the United States Senate, and why I am asking for your vote again this November. Our North Dakota common sense is making a difference. Crude Oil Export Ban Lifted Billions in Tax Relief passed in 2013 and 2015 Five-year National Highway Bill passed Discretionary spending reduced to below 2009 levels Five-year Farm Bill passed $1.5 billion in Flood Relief and Prevention Funding Local control given back to schools and Common Core mandate ended
But, there is more work to do. To unleash America’s true potential, we must get our debt and deficit under control, reduce the regulatory burden, and empower our nation’s energy industries. It is an honor serving you in the United States Senate. With your support and your vote, I will continue to work for North Dakota and the future of America.
and delivery delays, and to discuss lasting solutions to improve their mail delivery and service. Brennan agreed to Heitkamp’s request to visit North Dakota in April after Heitkamp shared her Fix My Mail survey results with the Postmaster General. To date, nearly 600 North Dakotans have filled out the Fix My Mail survey since its February launch. The results revealed major challenges for residents throughout the state – from medications and tax information lost or delayed in the mail, to batches of checks taking 10-20 days to travel 180 miles across the state. North Dakotans in rural communities rely heavily on the Postal Service to support their businesses and to connect them with family, and are disproportionately impacted by poor service and delivery – a point echoed in a Postal Service Inspector General report on mail volume. Over the past few years, rural America has faced increased delivery times, reduced service standards, and a distressed Postal Service workforce. Long an advocate for improved mail delivery in North Dakota, Heitkamp’s efforts began shortly after taking office in 2013 when she heard from constituents about ongoing problems with mail service.
We can help you save with Lifeline. Verizon Wireless participates in the Lifeline program which is a government assistance program that offers qualified, low-income customers a discount of at least $9.25 on their monthly wireless service. Only eligible customers may enroll in the program. Additional discounts are available for eligible residents of Tribal lands. In addition to Lifeline, Link Up assistance provides qualified residents of Tribal lands a one-time waived activation fee for new wireless phone service. You may be eligible for a Lifeline discount if you currently participate in a qualifying public assistance program or otherwise satisfy the federal income requirements. The Lifeline discount is limited to a single line of service per household. Eligible customers may apply the Lifeline discount to either one landline or one wireless number, but you cannot have the discount on both services. Other service providers may use terms other than “Lifeline” to describe the Lifeline discount. The Lifeline service may not be transferred to any other individual. Applicants must present documentation of household income or participation in qualifying programs. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain the benefit can be punished by fine or imprisonment, or may be barred from the program.
