Local youths eager to cast first votes

BY BRYAN GALLEGOS Dunn County Herald

Polls open 8 a.m. Tuesday throughout county

Taycee Butts remembered when she voted in her first election. She was in elementary school in Buffalo, S.D. and her class participated in a mock election.

“It was a fun activity to get us involved in election day,” she said.

Butts has been eager to do it for real ever since. And on Tuesday, the recently-turned 18-year-old will get that chance when she casts her vote in the 2016 election.

“I’m super excited,” Butts said.

“I’m an adult and I’m going to go out in the adult world pretty

soon. This is something that adults do.”

On Tuesday, voters will casting votes for races on the local, state and national levels - including the president of the United States. The polls in Dunn County will open at 8 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

There are 12 precincts in Dunn County, and the polling places include: Twin Buttes School, Halliday City Hall, Dodge City Auditorium, Dunn Center City Hall, Killdeer School, Dunn County Court House in Manning, the Catholic Workman Hall in New Hradec and St. An-

thony’s Mission in Mandaree.

Butts and her classmates in a government class at Killdeer High School have been discussing the ballot for the upcoming election. They talked about the candidates and their platforms and about the Measures on the ballot.

“I’m prepared to vote,” said See YOUTH

State high court hears arguments over EDS lawsuit DUNN COUNTY HERALD The North Dakota Supreme Court heard arguments last week in Bismarck in a lawsuit that pitted a local company and two state organizations against Dunn County over a proposal for a wasterecycling facility in Dunn County.

Dunn County appealed to the state supreme court a lower-court ruling that favored Environmental Driven Solutions of Killdeer, the North Dakota Industrial Commission and the state’s Attorney Gen-

The crux of the matter is who has jurisdiction in determining where Environmental Driven Solutions can do recycle oilfield waste. Environmental Driven Solutions is a Minnesota-based oilwaste processing company that is seeking to operate a facility in Dunn County.

The Dunn County Social Services has expanded the “Christmas for Kids” program and will now target a larger audience in a new program called “Holiday Hope.”

“We would like to reach more of the population with food baskets and gifts for those in need,” said Melissa Pavlicek, the director of the Dunn County Social Services.

There had been some concerns within the community that the “Christmas for Kids” program was going to be discontinued in favor of “Holiday Hope.” That’s not the case, Pavlicek said.

“Christmas for Kids” is now part of “Holiday Hope” and the program will continue provide youths in Dunn County with presents during the holiday season but also See FOOD

Courageous Twin Buttes toddler battling West Nile Virus

Killder HOSA club sponsoring benefit dinner Sunday

Benny Howling Wolf was a ball of energy with a crooked grin and playful demeanor. You couldn’t help but smile when the 3-year-old was around because his disposition was intoxicating.

He was so eager to start preschool this year at Little Camp Head Start in Twin Buttes.

Now the little guy is fighting for his life.

Howling Wolf contracted West Nile Virus in

his young brain developed swelling, which had family members and doctors concerned and baffled.

Fund raiser slated for Sunday VIRUS

in the United States since 1999. Of those, more than 20,000 people have had infections to the brain and spinal cord, according to the Center for Disease Control and Protection.

More than 1,900 have died from the disease in the United States, the center said.

Howling Wolf is back in familiar surroundings now, having been released from the hospital days ago.

He is surrounded by his family and friends as he undergoes therapy several times a week.

Jessica is hopeful her son will be back to his old self soon. But she realizes it’s going to be a long haul.

The sight of her son suffering from the virus lingers and likely will never

go away.

“We take it day by day,” she said.

“We believe in Benny and his will.”

Doctors were fearful that he would not be able to talk, see, or have motor skills as the result of the virus.

But the boy with the crooked smile smiled. He heard his mom talking to him, and he smiled and giggled.

It was a moment Jessica will never, ever forget.

“I told him, you’re in there. You’re in there, Baby, you just need to come out,” she said.

He’s fighting.

And others are fighting with him.

The HOSA club at Killdeer High School is sponsoring an Indian Taco Meal and Silent auction on Sunday at the High Plains Cultural Center.

The fund raiser will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It’s all about giving back and help-

ing one another, said Cherie Roshau, the club’s sponsor.

“The kids really wanted to do this,” she said.

They also wanted to show support for Howling Wolf’s brother, Justice, who is a sophomore at the school.

The meal will feature authentic Indian Tacos with meat, lettuce, tomatoes. Drinks will also be available. The cost for the meal is $10 for adults and $5 for elementary age children and toddlers.

About 50 items have been donated for the auction. The bidding for the items will close at 2 p.m. Some of the items that have been donated include: tickets to a North Dakota State University football game, a Carson Wintz Philadelphia Eagles football jersey, safety gloves and clothing, a chocolate and wine basket, among other things.

Voter turnout dipped in last election YOUTH FROM PAGE 1

senior Dillan Jepson. “It’s something that we should do as a citizen. It’s a privilege.”

However, it’s a privilege not everybody is accepting. The voter turnout for the 2012 election was 57.5 percent, which was lower

than the 2008 and 2004 elections. The turnout was nearly five points lower than in the last election.

Senior Lily McFadden said it’s important to participate in the election because “It’s the only way you can get your opinion heard.”

“I’m excited and I’m going to vote. I’m kind of

nervous because I’m not real sure how it works,” she said.

Reports have shown that apathy and a loss in confident in the electorial process are among reasons why the turnout has been low.

Senior Maleah Schmeling will not be among those numbers.

“I want to vote. I want my voice to be heard,” she said. “I believe that one vote, your vote, could change things.”

Butts agreed, saying the belief in the voting process needs to start early.

“I’m excited about voting. Hopefully, we can get the younger generation involved,” she said.

tional-use permit.

Prior to the meeting with the commission, the North Dakota Industrial Commission granted the company a permit to operate. Environmental Driven Solutions sued the county in state court, claiming the county it did not have authority to do so.

In 2015, the NDIC and the North Dakota Attorney General joined EDS in the suit. On Feb. 17, 2016, the district court issued its opinion supporting the plaintiff’s position . The issue was “pre-emption,” i.e., the Century Code – North Dakota’s statuary code, trumped the county’s zoning ordinance.

In short order, the other oil-producing counties filed objections to the plaintiff’s suit and joined Dunn County.

At last week’s oral arguments, Assistant State’s Attorney Ari Johnson, Dunn County’s Planning and Zoning

Advocate, argued that EDS really didn’t dispose of anything at their proposed site but, rather, recycled it to produce oil and other valuable assets. Therefore, the Century Code did not pre-empt the county.

He also pointed out that, historically, counties had been given concurrent authority to regulate traffic, housing, aesthetics and public safety because state law also required compliance with local law.

However, Zach Pelham, attorney for EDS, disagreed, saying that local government subdivisions have no authority over any aspect of oil/gas extraction/disposal including any ancillary matters.

Justice Vande Walle questioned the NDIC’s authority, asking if the NDIC could allow a site to be constructed in the middle of town if it wanted to.

“Technically, yes,” Pelham said.

NDIC attorney Hope Olsen agreed, saying the commission has authority on “everything about waste disposal from womb to tomb.”

Other justices expressed frustration with the lack of a definition of “disposal” and “processed” in the Century Code and the state Legislature’s lack of guidance. Justice Sandstrom asked if the proper thing would for the Legislature to fix the problem.

Johnson said that by ruling against EDS, that is exactly what the Legislature would have to do but, if the county was cut our of the review process, the Legislature would be circumvented.

The justices also raised concerns about local planning and zoning being too restrictive; all appearing to agree with Vande Walle’s assessment that a county could not outright ban an oil waste disposal facility simply because local citizens say, “Not in my back yard.”

Justice Crothers said “not in my county” equates with a de facto veto of a NDIC permit and could spell trouble for future attempts to ban “special waste” landfills in the county.

Food baskets available soon FOOD FROM PAGE 1

provide food baskets and other necessary items to needy families, the elderly and disabled who live in Dunn County.

“If there is a need and I get wind of it, they will get them a meal and holiday cheer,” said Pavlicek.

“We’re not excluding anyone. We’re including everyone. We want to make sure everyone has a great Christmas.”

The food baskets will include a turkey or ham, vegetables, bread and potatoes. It will be limited, however, to one per household.

The “Christmas for Kids” program will again offer a toy and clothing and other necessities,” she said.

Social Services will determine who qualifies for “Holiday Hope” by using income guidelines and situational circumstances the department uses for existing programs . All cases will be determined on a case-by-case basis, she said.

The department is currently taking donations for the program. In the past, the community has donated hundreds of gifts for the program, Pavlicek said.

The department is asking that donations for “Holiday Hope” be sub-

mitted on or before Dec. 2, 2016. Donations can be dropped off at the Dunn County Social Services office, or mailed to: Dunn County Social Services, Box 89, Killdeer, N.D., 58640. If a donation is made by check, please have it made out to DCSS Holiday Hope, Pavlicek said.

Social Services will purchase the food and gifts with the donations. The gifts and food baskets will be available for qualified

families to pick up on Dec. 23 at the Social Services office.

“Dunn County is amazing in supporting these kind of programs, and without that you’re not going to have success,” Pavlicek said. “It’s our goal this year to reach out to all communities in Dunn County and ensure that the children, families, and elderly have food on their tables and a gift under the tree.”

‘This is a labor of love’ Halliday family hosting 17th annual all-girls breakaway roping extravaganza

BY BRYAN GALLEGOS Dunn County Herald

What started out as a little get-together for Shaldon Osterberg and her sister has turned into an all-female roping extravaganza that has attracted competitors from the Midwest and Canada.

Osterberg and her family will be hosting the 17th Annual Girls Only Breakaway Roping on Saturday at the Double S Indoor Arena near Halliday. The event starts at 9 a.m. Mountain Time and will likely run through 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

These days, the event attacks in the neighborhood of 130 competitors who will be competing for cash and prizes at the day-long event. They have come from as far away as Nevada and Colorado, as well as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, and of course, North Dakota. There have also been some Canadians compete in the

Your District 4 Team

event, Osterberg said.

“It’s a great event,” said Osterberg, who has helped with program since it was started by her parents in 1999. “It really brings a lot of people together and the competition is pretty fierce.”

There will be three divisions in the competition: Senior (for those over 40), Open, and High School (for those highschool age or below). The entry fees are: $150 for Open, and $100 for Senior and High School.

What’s at stake is up to $2,000 in prize money and a gift certificate for a Tod Slone saddle valued at $2,000 for the Open division. The High School division will be competing for $1,000 in prize money and a gift certificate for the saddle.

The Senior division will be competing for $500 in prize money.

Each rider is guaranteed two opportunities, and based on time, can move to two subsequent rounds before the champion is crowned, Osterberg said.

It’s a far cry from when Lyle Gjermundsen started it for his daughters, Osterberg, who was 14 at the time, and 7-yearold Sadie on his ranch six miles East of Bismarck.

There were maybe 20 girls, Osterberg said, and the entry fee was $20.

“It was something fun to invite our friends over,” she said.

Each year after that, more girls joined the fun. It helped Osterberg hone her skills through her high school years.

She participated in rodeo

In 2003, Osterberg qualified for the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyo., in Breakaway Roping.

In 2004, the family moved to the Halliday area. And they continued the breakaway-roping event.

It started out and con-

tinues to be a family event with each member of the family playing a role in the operation. Osterberg isn’t sure she will compete this year, but has taken on more administrative duties.

“This is a labor of love,” she said with a grin. “And it gets even more fun every year. It’s always fun meeting new people.”

The number one contributing factor of motor vehicle related fatalities in North Dakota is not wearing a seat belt.

In 2015, 61 percent of motor vehicle fatalities in North Dakota were not wearing their seat belt.

Yet, 93 percent of the other vehicle occupants involved in these same fatal crashes were wearing a seat belt and received no injuries.

“Buckling up is the safest thing anyone can do to protect themselves in case of a motor vehicle crash,” said Karin Mongeon, Safety Division Director with the North Dakota Department of Transportation.

“It is important that we do all we can to help educate and remind motorists to wear seat belts. It not only protects them, but everyone in their vehicle.”

Killdeer students celebrate Red Ribbon Week

BY COURTNEY VETTEL For Dunn County Herald

Killdeer Public Schools celebrated Red Ribbon Week last week and this year’s theme was “YOLO, You Only Live Once, Be Drug Free.”

Students proudly wore red ribbons in the elementary school and red bracelets in the high school. Students in Kindergarten through sixth-grade participated in drug prevention lessons and learned about safe and unsafe choices.

High school students had the opportunity to listen to speaker Kathi Sulllivan last week.

Sullivan shared the story of her 17 yearold daughter Taylor, who after a night of binge drinking and poor choices at a series of underage drinking parties, found herself alone in the woods, and drowned in only two feet of water. They found her three days later.

Two months later, Sullivan started sharing Taylor’s story with students and parents in hopes that her message would

enlighten others on the dangers of underage drinking and poor choices. Passionate about reaching students hearts and minds, she simply shared with students what happened that night, how it could have been prevented and how Taylor’s death has affected her family, Taylor’s friends and the community.

Students left Sullivan’s presentation feeling like it was their friend or daughter that was lost that fateful night. Her presentation went far beyond binge drinking, underage drinking and poor choices.

Sullivan has become an alcohol awareness speaker and made this her mission in life to spread Taylor’s Message.

Sullivan’s presentation was heart wrenching but ended with an inspirational message of hope, love and a new found power for our students to deal with peer pressure and tough choices that they face every day.

Her honesty, openness, and heartfelt message was packed with many powerful take-aways and it was a presentation that will not be soon forgotten.

Killdeer FFA members attend National FFA Convention

BY DAVID LEIER

For Dunn County Herald Eight members of the Killdeer FFA Chapter traveled to Indianapolis for the 89th National FFA Convention and Expo.

The trip was filled with different tours that exposed the students to some facets of agriculture different than those found in North Dakota.

The members included: Iris Dukart, Cate Fredericks, Lily McFadden, Kylee Boltz, Katelin Chinn, Hannah Rebsom, Rachel Voigt, Colby Dukart The first stop on the trip was the Wetherby Cranberry Farm in Warrens, Wisc. As the trip continued through Wisconsin, we also stopped at Carr

Valley Cheese in La Valle.

The next day the tours continued as the Killdeer group traveled to Peoria, Ill., and toured the CAT Visitors Center.

The final tour of the trip was in Remington, Ill., where the group had the opportunity to tour the Monsanto Seed Plant.

Once in Indianapolis, members had three days to partake in convention activities. These included attending leadership workshops, attending convention sessions and listening to the inspiring words of keynote speakers, and engaging in activities in the career expo. This was an both a funfilled and education trip for the members.

“I have worked with so many Minot State students who have echoed this thought. To be creative doing your dream job is wonderful! To help with finances, I encourage students to apply for the scholarship to not only

achieve their dreams but make everything more affordable.

Applications are reviewed by a committee comprised of art faculty.

Bryan's Song As Veteran’s Day approaches, I think about the brave men and women who have served in our military services over the years. I’m proud and thankful for their courage and dedication in defense of our great nation.

That pride can show its face at anytime, anywhere. For me, it was at a family reunion in Colorado.

The reunion was like any family gathering, lots of smiles and hugs and handshakes with siblings and my parents. There were cousins and aunts and uncles with whom I haven’t seen since the 8-track days.

There was plenty of good food, cold drinks and great music from the 8-track days. It was a heart-warming event that lingered for I don’t know how long.

I sat with my cousin and we chatted as we chomped on some pork chili burritos and slurped on homemade menudo. He was a veteran who served in the U.S. Marines and did a couple of tours in the Vietnam.

He shared some tales with me, quietly describ-

By Bryan Gallegos ing what he went through.

Some stories were pretty gory as he described watching his buddies die in a fire fight. Others were glorious as he shared how he and some of his buddies saved a little boy and little girl after their home had been destroyed by enemy attackers.

I was very proud of my cousin. He had always been one of the guys I looked up to. He was several years older and he carried a “Fonzie-like” persona. When he would come home on leave, he was like the Pied Piper because my friends hung on his every word.Over the years, we kind of drifted away. I went to college and he did one more tour.

We spoke periodically, but things just weren’t the same any more.

But on that day, talking to him was like talking to a king.

I took the last gulp of

my cold one and asked if he needed another. He shook his head and smiled a crooked grin. I hadn’t been back but a minute, when we noticed a commotion on the other side of the picture window.

A couple of guys, I didn’t know their names - were razzing a guy who looked a little down on his luck.

He walked as if he had lost a bout with the booze patrol. My cousin jumped to his feet and quickly ran out the door. He stepped in front of the boys and stopped the disrespectful display.

My cousin looked at me through the window and motioned for me to get a plate of food for the man.

He brought him in and I sat quietly as my cousin talked to the guy. He didn’t know his name, but he knew he was somebody important.

He was a Vet, also having done a tour in Vietnam. I don’t know how my cousin knew this, but he did.

“Stand tall my friend.

You are my hero,” he told the man. “I know what you did for this country.

Thank, brother.”

I didn’t know what to say - except “Thank you.”

Hello, I don’t go to music concerts. Oh, I went to Buck Owens once at the Minot Municipal Auditorium.

But I think that was in ‘64 or ‘65. And I did hear Kenny Rogers once, but he was playing in a casino lounge in Las Vegas.

But there is a Canadian singer I listen to once in awhile. Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans. I enjoy him because my grandsons can play air guitar and sing many of his songs.

He sings of ranches, oil wells, cows, and trucks getting stuck. Things I know well.

Now what made me think of Corb this morning is one of his songs. It’s called “You Got to Have Cows Around.”

It’s a song that kind of tells what it’s like to have cows. You are late to dates or meetings because the cows are out. He sings of the constant problems that live with a cowboy 24 hours a day.

For instance, lately we have been gathering cows up on Hans Creek. We are better riders than we are fencers so the cows have a pretty good scatter on them. Our motto is “as long as they have grass and water, we don’t care where they are.” Now I don’t know where some are, but I know where many aren’t.

It’s gotten to be kind of a habit I guess, but when we make a successful gather and get a few cows, we stop for dinner in Halliday

By Dean Meyer at O’Brien’s. We grab a quick pizza and beer and talk about how good we did.

A few days ago we gathered two cows. One kind, sensible cow, and one wild, crazy cow. I don’t know how they ever became friends. I guess friendships can be like that.

Will and I stopped for a beer and pizza. And talked about how good we were to get these two cows gathered up in the trailer.

We finished our quick lunch and walked out of the bar. As we turned the corner to the pickup, our congratulatory celebration came to a heart stopping halt! The last calf was just jumping out of the trailer!

Someone had turned out cows out in town! Really!

Our morning’s work was walking down a street.

We quickly unloaded our colts and were in hot pursuit. Being that one cow was wild and one was tame exasperated the problem.

The wild one crossed the bridge over Spring Creek and headed for Twin Buttes at a lope. The tame one began grazing along the creek and didn’t want to cross the bridge.

By the time we got the tame one across, the wild one was a mile north and covering ground.

When I caught up with her, she, along with her calf, jumped a fence and headed west. I found a gate and followed her.

But by the time I got through that gate, she had jumped the next fence and headed northwest! And that is what happened for the next hour. She would run though a fence.

I would find a gate and she would be through the next fence. Six fences! Five miles! My colt was playing out. As was this old fat man.

Then she made a mistake. She stopped by Cliff’s place. Cliff is an old cowboy who can think like a cow. He was out fencing and spotted our problem.

And he had eight armed men from Minnesota helping him. They were camped by his grain bins hunting pheasants.

Between Neal from Minnesota, Cliff the old calf roper, Will the cowboy, and myself, we got the escapee captured. She did beat Will up a little before we got her loaded, but all in all it was a successful hunt.

As my granddaughter Gracy used to say, “I made some new friends”!

And we learned a valuable life lesson. Don’t celebrate too early if you have cows around!

Dean Dean Meyer is a former legislator and ranches in southwest North Dakota.

He has been a columnist around the state for ye ars.

Lacee Bjork Anderson’s letter supporting Measure 3 (Marsy’s Law) tugs at the heartstrings again. But, not so fast!

First, take her remarks with a grain of salt. She’s a lobbying specialist for Odney Advertising — the Bismarck firm behind the ads inundating our airwaves and, whose own minions have made snarky insults about retired North Dakota Attorney General Bob Wefald and the other opponents of this “bad constitutional” measure including yours truly.

Second, it isn’t just prosecutors like me that oppose this thing, Lacee.

I do resent your snipes that we don’t follow “the law” and protect victims already. You’d have to ask my Victim’s Advocate.

Or, the victims, retired judges, States Attorneys Association, defense counsel, law enforcement and other victim’s advocates who oppose Marsy’s Law. Or, ask this measure’s supporters why they’ve refused to really debate specifics in lieu of just airing emotional ads.

Dear readers don’t forget that North Dakota’s existing victim’s organizations (50+) also oppose it. Not all ALLEGED victims turn out to be victims! You have a much greater chance of being accused than being a victim of violence.

It’s about the “accused” not defendants Lacee.

Marsy’s Law needs to be debated in our legislature not on the airwaves.

Many opponents won’t step up publicly because they fear the “anti-victim”

By Pat Merriman tirade from Measure 3’s self-anointed.

Finally, this multimillion dollar media blitz ignores California billionaire Henry T. Nicholas, III (co-founder of Broadcom Corp.) whose personal habits seem to belie his paid message about victims’ rights. Just Google® him to read about his alleged addiction, perversion and abuse of his ex-wife and girlfriend. He’s provided virtually every dollar behind this North Dakota ballot measure — almost $2.5 million at last count.

And, some, like Fargo attorney (and former cop) Mark Friese, also opine that Measure 3’s troubling “full restitution” language would be a windfall for insurance companies.

Lacee’s comment that North Dakota “deserves” this and it “in no way inhibits defendants” is so simplistically foolish that I encourage readers to get on the ‘net before Tuesday. Concerns include abolishing confidentiality in juvenile court, expanding the prison population, hiring additional public lawyers to “enforce victim’s rights,” and more judges to accommodate the deluge of hearings sure to follow. Like in California!

And, her hyperbole, “We feel like the opposi-

tion is deflecting from the problem, which is example after example of victims who come forward to say the measure is needed”? These folks couldn’t produce one, single example at our State’s Attorney Conference! So, what’s really in play here?

With a cost of at least $2 million taxpayer dollars, up front, not including the cost of compliance to local counties or the state if it passes. The same emotional argument being posed by the marijuana legalizers. But, it’s not about “compassion,” “rights” or fairness, folks; it’s about out-of-state interests getting their way before they move on.

We have a Legislature in North Dakota. Let them to their job.

Mr. Nicholas - the California constitution has been amended over 500 times - everything from Marsy’s Law, to fishing nets, to special handouts.

So unwieldy that many in your state demand that it just be tossed and, a Constitutional Convention convened to start all over.

Folks, remember … long after Measure 3 and marijuana legalization leave North Dakota; animal rights, environmentalists, ad nausea, will be ginning up their own, future, slick advertising campaigns here in the Peace Garden State.

‘Dear God ...’

Bible answers to everyday questions Question: When someone asks me for forgiveness would it be hypocritical of me to forgive them when I’m still angry?

Answer: Being authentic in our interactions with others is a model for Christian behavior. Jesus referred to “hypocrites” who’s words and actions looked “beautiful on the outside but on the inside (were) full of dead men’s bones” (Matt. 23:27). He calls His followers away from duplicity. However, there are times when our convictions need to override our emotions.

When struggling in this way don’t forget, “While we were still sinners Christ died for us” (Rm. 5:8). Before withholding forgiveness remember the mercy God has shown to you. When Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother, he was given a parable. Jesus spoke of a man who, while himself forgiven a great debt, refused to extend the same to his countrymen. This man, who wouldn’t forgive was asked, “Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you (Matt. 18:23-35)?” Because forgiveness has been graciously extended to us, it is then our responsibility to extend the same to others (Matt. 6:14-15; 10:8).

As we face circumstances that challenge our commitment to God’s way we have a choice to make. We are encouraged to press toward the “high calling of God” (Phil. 3:14). To walk by the Spirit not by the flesh (Gal. 5:16). And, to yield our feelings, and will to God (Mk. 14:36). It is not hypocritical to choose a higher path than the one we are naturally inclined to. When injured by someone we might feel hurt and angry, however, how we respond is a choice we are left to make. If you are struggling with a conflicted heart, go to God saying, “Renew a right spirit within me” (Ps. 51:10).

Finally, when you choose to forgive someone you don’t feel like forgiving you honor the One who died to forgive you.

By Reverend Ray

Not only does true grace grow best in winter, but winter is the best season for planting grace. … It is not a speculation, it is a personal experience that hundreds here can testify to, that the Bible, the Sabbath, the Supper, all became so many means of grace to them after some great affliction greatly sanctified.1 There are few, if any, that escape some measure of crisis in life. We may observe some that seem to have all going for them and the old cliché, born with a silver spoon in his mouth or always coming up smelling like roses, is never absolute in the life of anyone. The reality is if you have not yet experienced some level of crisis in your life, the certainty of it is as sure as death.

Jesus pointed those who opposed Him to periods in Israel’s history where the reality of life crisis

was present among many.

Yet, among those that were visited by God in the midst of these crisis, it is surprisingly not those who were among the promised people, Israel.

The passage cited draws our attention to the providence of God working a crisis situation in the lives of Gentiles, while seeming to ignore many others that were enduring similar crisis. Jesus cites the grace that was bestowed on a woman of Zarephath during the time of great drought in the land of Palestine. The blessing of Elijah fell to a Gentile woman who was a widow preparing her last meal before they died of starvation. Second, Jesus cites the healing of Naaman of his leprosy by Elisha.

In citing these two accounts, Jesus is pointing to God’s sovereign right to favor whom He will in a given crisis. But more broadly, Jesus is indicating God’s active involvement in the lives of all peoples and not just

Jewish people. The mindset of many of the Jewish leaders at this time was that they were exclusively the beneficiaries of the care and blessings of God. But God had long before said to Moses; “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.”(Ex.33:19) So, Jesus was indeed pointing to God’s prerogative to bestow favor on whom He will and these historical accounts confirm the activity of God in this manner.

But there is another principle that is present here, which is the “Divine passive.” Clearly, God had chosen as much not to address the crisis of the countless members of the Northern kingdom during the reign of Ahab. Likewise, there were many who were suffering from leprosy in Israel during the time when Naaman was healed by Elisha.

This is clear evidence of the Divine passive or God’s prerogative not to be merciful.

This principle of God’s activity being both passive and active is re-asserted by Paul in Romans

9:13-15; “Just as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!

For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” Such ideas that God is compelled to be favorable to all is neither in line with His justice or His righteousness nor consistent with His providential history in relation to His people. In truth, that God acts positively in extending grace to anyone is evidence of the goodness of God upon the race that naturally has lived in rebellion to Him. We are reminded that the righteousness and justice of God would have been entirely appropriate had He immediately assigned all of humanity to the damnation of hell.

Indeed, His grace has extended therefore to all.

Thus, Jesus is signaling the greatness of God’s grace in acting in kindness and mercy to favor whom He will. To ignore this grace is to ignore God’s goodness.

ELECTION 2016

The Dunn County Herald

Kleeman cites experience in bid for re-election

BY MAGGIE PIATZ

For Dunn County Herald Bob Kleeman is a familiar face throughout Dunn County. He may be on the streets talking to friends, attending the many meetings a commissioner needs to stay on top of in of in the county, or at home on his ranch; where there is always something to do.

Kleeman has served two full terms, plus one-half of a term during the time the commission was enlarged to five members.

On Nov. 8, he will be running for a third full term.

His dedication to Dunn County came through when he was asked why he was still involved.

“I want to be the spokesman for the people,” Kleeman said.

“With my three children and seven grandkids here, I want to work to keep jobs available, yet make sure Dunn County stays a safe, clean and healthy place for people to raise their families,” he added.

A concern he has for Dunn County is the Radioactive Oilfield Waste.

The Dunn County Zoning Board and Dunn County Commission work hard to set regulations and restrictions as to how and where these sites can be set up. As what happened here, companies who want these sites can appeal county regulations and restrictions to the state.

What Kleeman wants to see is restrictions local authorities can monitor along with dust control.

Right now the state can say where they can go and the county has to go along.

The Dunn County Zoning Board is working on this issue now.

When asked about his relationship with the Dunn County Sheriff’s Department, Kleeman replied, “Are we overstaffed, yes, as the workload is lighter.”

He also mentioned that the County Deputies do a good job and that the ones who have moved on, of their own accord, have not

been replaced.

In discussing the High Plains Cultural Center, Kleemann feels that the county should not give more money at this time.

He believes the revenue should be one-on-one. If donations aren’t coming in, the HPCC could apply for a mill levy during election time and leave it up to the people to decide.

In his closing comments, Kleeman said: “I feel that a lot of things that we ‘shot-gunned in’ should be looked over

Robert Kleeman again and make sure that their intentions are what we wanted as an end result.”

Marsh-Brew Hauck seeks second term because says it’s time he enjoys helping the community to get involved

BY MAGGIE PIATZ

For Dunn County Herald

BY MAGGIE PIATZ

For Dunn County Herald A small business owner; Joann Marsh-Brew (Embroidery Arts) and a rancher alongside of her husband, Mike Brew, has decided to speak up and get involved. She has spent 21 years ranching and working in Dunn County.

When asked why do you want to be county commissioner, Marsh-Brew replied, “I didn’t feel like all the commissioners were listening to the people.”

She also feels that instead of arguing about it; if you want change-speak up. Marsh-Brew is speaking up.

“I know it is hard to get people involved, but people have to be involved to make things happen. We all work hard and at the end of the day, you want to know they (commissioners) will do what is best for you.”

She has attended most county commission meetings during the past few months to learn what is going on and what the commissioners are trying to accomplish.

A project she has been involved with since its beginning is the Radioactive Oilfield Waste. She has learned about the hazards and longterm effects of living or owning land near radioactive oilfield waste storage. She feels that we all should work to protect our land and neighbors who live on this land. She sees the impact of regulations that have been put into place without enough bodies to enforce them.

The Health Department needs to step up to the plate, she said. There is a

Joann Marsh-Brew lot of stuff to take care of.

Marsh-Brew feels we need to keep our rules stringent when it comes to the landfills. What will happen when people pick up and leave?

The EDS Lawsuit is filed with the Attorney General who has ruled against the county.

“We will need good control if the state of North Dakota gets the control over this issue. Who will oversee the waste?”

Marsh-Brew is also working to find a way to keep our young people here and how to help them find work or jobs.

Taxes are an issue. While she is more than willing to go to Bismarck and work for these projects and the needs in the county, she has concerns about keeping control locally.

One thing she would like to see implemented is having the meetings on audio or a Web site where you can see or listen to meetings. It’s important to see why issues or items are approved by the commission and also understand the reasons why these decisions are made.

Marsh-Brew would also like to see the commissioners stay ahead of the game with the Wind Towers coming into Dunn County.

Reinhard Hauck believes it is important to do things and it is our civic responsibility to take care of the issues that come up.

He enjoys getting involved with people and working for the betterment of our county.

Hauck’s career began after he earned his teaching degree. In January, 1975, he became Dunn County Superintendent.

In November of 1981, he started working as auditor for Dunn County. It is this job which makes him well known. Reinhard is known by all the city auditors working in Dunn County over the years. He is some-

one who was always willing to help sort out their problems with his friendly smile. In 2012, he ran and won his seat on the Dunn County Commission. This election he is running for his second term.

“I learn something every day and in each meeting,” said Hauck.

With the oil boom down, it is less stressful. It is also a time of declining revenue with less traffic. So there are slight budget cuts and he was happy to see each of the departments co-operate with the budget cuts.

They are working on a three-year Strategic Plan.

It is available for viewing at Dunn County ND.org.

Hauck is frustrated with environmental issues that

have been denied by Dunn County only to be overruled by the State.

“What are we here for?” he said.

Dunn County still has needs and is working on a building contract to move the Dunn County Social Services from Killdeer to Manning. The current court house in Manning is used up and full to the maximum. The plans are to build on to house the occupants in the Social Services building in the new addition to the Manning Court House. This will take 36 to 48 months.

Public meetings will be held as the project moves forward.

Hauck is working on a project that includes health

Reinhard Hauck issues. Where individuals need to be counseled and treated. More than just a treatment center, but also a diagnostic center. We are trying to work with Social Service issues that are hard to work with. We find we have a lot more individuals who need it.

Eckelberg eyes third term by staying active with the county commission

BY MAGGIE PIATZ

For Dunn County Herald Glenn Eckelberg is well known in Dunn County.

He has grown up in Dunn County and was a fourthgeneration rancher on family land. These days he can be found at Nana Lils for breakfast and out and about the streets of Killdeer visiting and catching up with everyone’s suggestions for the Dunn County Commission. He has no ideas or plans to do anything different than what is being done currently on the commission.

There is not much he doesn’t know about Dunn County. He went to school in Dunn Center and con-

tinued his education by obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree/Business Education. Eckelberg’s heart has always been with the lake north of Dunn Center.

After graduating from high school, he spent his summer with his cousin on his first job. They build the first ramp at what was last known as Mel’s Resort. He has a lot of fond memories from that time.

After he was discharged from the service he went on to work for SW Water as a Representative for Dunn County.

This year, Eckelberg is seeking his third term as a county commissioner. He enjoys staying active and busy.

“The whole county needs to be involved with Salt Water Disposal,” says Eckelberg. “We all need to work together.”

With regards to High Plains Culture Center, he has no personal feeling against anyone. It is just one of those things.

Glenn is one of many who have spent a lot of time in Bismarck. He was working to get money for SW Water and consequently, Killdeer came on board. He visited with the governor about state money to help out.

“The governor asked how much do you need? I said, ‘15.5 million.’ We got it. This was a big asset to Dunn County,” he said.

Eckelberg is still involved

Glenn Eckelberg with his son, Tim, and his wife Becky, on the ranch.

He is proud to see Tim step in take the fifth-generation spot.

The highlights of his life are his grandchildren. Aspen and Case sure keep “grandpa” busy and happy.

ELECTION 2016

Kittilson wants to put people before politics

BY BRYAN GALLEGOS Dunn County Herald

Linda Kittilson is softspoken and has a quick smile. But she wants to be heard. And she wants people around her to be heard.

That’s why the 52-yearold Dunn County resident is running for a seat in the North Dakota House of Representatives from District 36.

Her political message is simple: “Putting people before politics.”

“As your Representative at the North Dakota legislature I will support your best interest and work hard to be your voice,” Kittilson said on her web site.

“When people have a say, it makes our communities more safe,” Kittilson said, during an interview with the Dunn County Herald.

With that in mind, one of her goals is to work to restore control over local issues to local governments, as well as landowners, farmers and ranchers. “I’m only going to be one vote. I know it’s going

Linda Kittilson to be an uphill battle in the Legislature, but somebody has to be saying this and make people understand the importance of local control,” she said.

North Dakota residents will go to the polls on Nov. 8. If elected, Kittilson said she’ll start work on Nov. 9.

Her agenda includes: • Opposing legislative attempts at corporate farming; • fight to ensure landowner’s rights are protected not weakened; • fend off attempts to weaken our state’s open records laws; • prioritize education at all levels from pre-kindergarten to higher education;

• protect our rural population by rejecting efforts to increase the level of radioactive waste in landfills in bad for North Dakota.

Although this is the first time she’s seeking a state office, Kittilson is no stranger to helping people. She served a term on the Killdeer School Board and the SW REAP Board. She is also a member of the Killdeer Area Development Corporation, the Dunn County JDA, the Cowboy Sports Complex committee and the Dunn County Concerned Citizens.

Kittilson is a bookkeeper for the Dunn County Historical Society and has experience as a city auditor, city assessor and retail management.

She attended schools in Killdeer and graduated high school in 1982. She attended Dickinson State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a minor in accounting before graduating in 1986.

Kittilson is married and has two grown children.

Cowboys face Glen Ullin-Hebron Athlete of the Month in first round of Region 7 tourney ELISSA STEFFAN

BY BRYAN GALLEGOS Dunn County Herald

Dunn County Herald

Killdeer High School head volleyball coach Allison Steffan walked out of the locker room with a smile on her face on Tuesday.

You wouldn’t have known that the Cowboys were swept by Region 7 champion Dickinson Trinity in the regular-season finale. The Titans defeated Killdeer 2516, 25-18, 25-12 on the Cowboys’ court.

There was an air of confidence in Steffan’s step.

Although the Cowboys ended the regular season on a down note, Steffan said her team is ready to change things in the second season.

Killdeer is the ninth seed

in the Region 7 playoffs and will travel to play eighthseeded Glen Ullin-Hebron at 5 p.m. on Friday. “ We’re ready to take one.

The girls are pumped for it,” Steffan said.

Although the Cowboys’ region record of 3-8 may not seem impressive, numbers can be deceiving. The Cowboys have been competitive in every match, mistakes at inopportune times proved costly.

“We proved throughout the season that we can compete with these teams,” Steffan said. “We’re going to come out and play hard and hopefully the results will show how we want it to be.”

Indeed.

They pushed sixth-seeded New England and fifthseeded Beulah, and were a point or two from forcing a fifth set against secondseeded Hettinger-Scranton and seventh-seeded MottRegent.

In the match against topseeded Trinity, the Titans broke the first two sets open with late runs. Nonetheless, Elissa Steffan had 16 digs, while Bridgette Reiss led the way with five kills and two blocks.

On Oct. 27, the Cowboys defeated Stanley 3-1 in a non-region match by the score of 25-11, 25-19, 16-25, 25-19. Sydney Andersen had 14 kills, followed by 13 from Reiss. Gabi Flaget recorded 16 digs and had five

aces. Maddie Hill had 11 digs followed by Chenneth Morlock with 10.

Beulah to Glen UllinHebron comes in with a 5-6 record and actually tied Mott-Regent for the seventh seed. However, MottRegent received the higher seed because of its victory over Glenn Ullin-Hebron.

Killdeer has faced Glen Ullin-Hebron twice this year. They met in the season-opening tournament at Killdeer when they split two sets. Glen Ullin-Hebron hosted the Cowboys two weeks ago and posted a hard-fought sweep.

Glen Ullin-Hebron, however, is struggling as of late, having lost four of its last five region matches.

MOVING ON UP VOTE LIBERTARIAN

  Riemers for State Auditor   Roland Riemers is the Libertarian candidate for the office of State Auditor.

Libertarians believe in Smaller Government and More Freedom. Thus Riemers pledges to increase efficiency and decrease the Auditor’s budget by 5%. His Republican Opponent (there is no endorsed Democratic candidate) wants to increase the staff and the budget.

Riemers believes a state agency audit should include how well that agency serves the public. His opponent wants to just make sure an agency just follows the law and the numbers come out right.

Riemers is a successful self employed businessman and has worked a wide variety of jobs, both private and public. His Opponent has only studied business in college and has worked only soft government jobs.

Riemers has served in various political positions at both the state and national level, has supported numerous state and national causes, and it is mainly thru his efforts that the Libertarian Party is now a recognized political party in North Dakota. His opponent has served only as a precinct chairman and supports no causes or taken a position on any public issue.

Riemers will keep the Auditor’s Office completely objective and nonpartisan. His Opponent believes party loyalty comes first, and thus supports Trump even though he strongly disagrees with Trump’s actions.

I KNOW WHO “VOTE RIGHT 36” IS: A recent letter asked, “Who is Vote Right 36”? I’d like to tell you.

Linda Kittilson and Dean Meyer will be on the ballot as Democrats. We are proud of that.

We think that publishing voting records shows the facts of how we are being represented. It is interesting that their District chairperson feels that this is criticism. They attempted to intimidate us when we truthfully told of our opponent flip-flopping his vote dealing with an issue important to emergency responders. They threatened us with a misdemeanor! For publishing the facts!

We think that pointing out that the “conservatives” have tripled state spending is important. We think voters should be made aware of important issues. Their response is that Democrats would have spent more! Really?? The surge bill was badly needed as spending for infrastructure has not kept up with demands, a result of Republicans failing to address these needs early on. Allowing a $1B surplus to become a $1.4B deficit, having to make across the board cuts, forcing us to talk about where we are willing to make more cuts? This is a great job? Really?

Ban fracking? Wage war on coal? We have friends and family who work in the energy WHAT IS REAL LOCAL CONTROL? It is the control citizens have through their local County and City Governments and it is at stake in this election.

We have found that the State of ND now has almost exclusive control over industrial waste sites and even joined in a lawsuit against Dunn County to maintain this control. If you trust that the State and our opponents in the Legislature are protecting you then think about the fact that they have failed to require the ND Dept. of Health to hire anyone with a degree or qualifications to oversee Radioactive Waste, failed to implement cradle to the grave tracking of Radioactive Materials, failed to require long-term bonding or insurance and allow these sites to be monitored by an employee of the company. Now we are hearing about the excessive illegal amounts being stored at these sites.

RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS LAST FOREVER. Short-term plans do not protect ND citizens or pay to clean up a disaster 50 or 500 years from now.

industry including Linda’s husband and my son and I who operated a hotshot company for 5 years in the Bakken. We have publicly expressed our support for all energy industries. We know they are all vital to our state and nation.

Linda’s family has been in agriculture for generations in Dunn County. I have farmed and ranched in Dunn and Stark Counties since 1968. The waters of the US is a federal rule, and we will work with both parties to get it overturned! Destroy Agriculture? This from the party that supports corporate farming in North Dakota?

Our campaign committee is called Vote Right 36. Our funding comes from both Democrat and Republican friends who question whether the state is truly going in “the right direction”.

We need strong leaders that will actively fight for western North Dakota. Not ones that blindly follow party leaders and lines. We have seen too many times when party leadership dictates how to vote, even when detrimental to western North Dakota.

I’ll close with a quote I once read, “If you don’t lie about our record, we won’t tell the truth about yours!”

Dean Meyer...701-290-8136

meeting, kept rules from being implemented which would have required all well sites to have protective berms and pipelines to have additional safety monitoring measures. Again failing to protect the safety, health and well-being of ND citizens and failing to provide important protections and security to landowners.

We have witnessed an erosion of how we care for and protect ND citizens in the last few Legislative sessions. Now a budget surplus has been squandered and the ones who will pay are those least able to afford to. The sick, the elderly and our children are the ones who will lose services due to budget cuts. Taxes paid by the citizens of ND are in jeopardy of being raised while the amount of tax breaks that have gone out-of-state continues to increase.

What do we want the future of western ND to look like? We can make the changes to ensure that agriculture, energy, industry and businesses thrive while we protect the safety, health and well-being of our residents. What type of legacy do we want to leave for future generations? Dean Meyer and Linda Kittilson will work to ensure that your livelihoods are protected and that you have a voice. We would appreciate your vote.
