Hilltop legacy continues with strong showing at fund raiser Foundation: Turnout at steak fry hits all-time high BY BRYAN GALLEGOS
Dunn County Herald Chip Kelly didn’t know what to expect when he went to the Hilltop Heritage Foundation’s 28th annual Steak Fry and Auction on Saturday night. All he knew is that he was missing a college football game on television. But when he arrived at the High Plains Cultural Center with his grandparents, the teen-ager visiting from Bismarck was surprised by the festive atmosphere, the good food and the many items to bid on. “I thought it was going to be a little small-town thing,” he said. Not hardly. More than 320 people attended
the event and enjoyed a nice dinner and had the opportunity to bid on 160 donated items in the silent and live auctions. The steak fry and auction is an annual fundraiser for the foundation. This year, the proceeds will be for Legacy Lodge, a new 20-apartment assisted-living facility that opened earlier this month adjacent to the

Hill Top Home of Comfort. Residents have already moved in to a couple of the apartments. The theme of this year’s auction was “The Legacy Continues ...”, and the turnout was an indication that it is not only continuing, but growing stronger. The number of people who attended the event, as well as the number of donated items for the auction were near or above all-time highs, said Fayleen Fisher, the foundation executive director. “I’m very excited,” said Fisher said. “We didn’t think we could get to where we were last year.” The total proceeds have not yet been tallied, Fisher said.

DUNN COUNTY HERALD Director Tanya N. Garfield of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Disaster Field Operations Center - West today reminded North Dakota small nonfarm businesses in Burke, Dunn, McKenzie, McLean, Mountrail, Ward and Williams counties of the Nov. 2, 2016, deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury. These low interest loans are to offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the high winds and hail in Mountrail County that occurred June 23-24, 2015. According to Garfield, small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. “EIDLs may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that cannot be paid because of the disaster’s impact,” said Garfield. “SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses See SBA

Students start campaign to raise funds for breast cancer awareness
BY BRYAN GALLEGOS
Dunn County Herald Susan Grasmick was near tears when she saw the sea of pink at the volleyball match at Killdeer High School on Tuesday night. Two Killdeer High School organizations, the Student Council and the Students Against Destructive Decisions set up a “Proud to Wear Pink” campaign at the volleyball match between Killdeer and Mott-Regent to promote breast cancer awareness. “This is wonderful,” said Grasmick, herself wearing a tiny pink ribbon on her lapel. “Look at all this support. This is wonderful.”
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the students wanted to do something to show they cared, said Sydney Andersen, a member of the student council. Many of the students know people who have been affected by the disease. “We just felt we had to have a night where we got the crowd involved and brought awareness to the cause. It’s a great cause,” Andersen said. First International Bank and American State Bank each agreed to donate $1 for every fan wearing pink to the game. There were 55 people who wore pink to the game, said Killdeer High School
principal Karter Kleeman. Both teams wore pink jerseys on Tuesday. The visiting MottRegent team wore pink game jerseys that featured a pink ribbon over the heart area. They’ve been wearing those special jerseys all months, said Mott-Regent head coach Aryn Hansen. “I’m glad we were able to help them with this,” she said. “It’s great to see this kind of support.” The Cowboys wore pink tiedye t-shirts during the warm-up period. They wore their regular uniforms, but had special black See FUNDS

Ghosts and goblins will be out Monday night, ready to give you a fright. So will the super heroes and even some arch villains, just chillin’. And don’t be surprised to see a princess with a crown and maybe even a witch with a frown. Whether it’s a zombie from the “Walking Dead,” or a clown with a rosecolored ball on his head, they’ll eager to recite an ancient pledge. “Trick or Treat.” Halloween is Monday, a night filled with parties, pranks and tom-foolery. While some will hit the streets with their tricks, many others will turn to the High Plains Cultural Center for their treats. The Killdeer Parent Advisory Council will be sponsoring the Killdeer Community Halloween Carnival from 4:30-6:30 p.m. More than 250 youths attended last year’s carnival, said Lindsay Kluver, the event organizer. There will be plenty of games, music and food hot dogs, chips and water - at the Carnival. There will be about a dozen booths sponsored by local businesses at the event, Kluver said. But there will be other festive options for trick-ortreaters on Monday. The Killdeer Ambulance Service will be hosting its See FUN
