The North Dakota Public Service Commission on Wednesday approved siting permits for three new pipeline projects – two crude oil pipelines and a natural gas liquids pipeline, one of which spans across Dunn County. A proposed permit was approved for BOE Pipeline LLC’s 16-inch crude oil pipeline, which is slated to cross both Dunn and McKenzie counties at a total length of 41.8 miles. The proposed pipeline will carry crude oil from an Area Custody Transfer meter near Johnson’s Corner to the BOE terminal near Killdeer, which is connected by an existing pipeline to the BOE Rail Hub located southwest of Dickinson. The BOE Rail Hub is a loading facility that provides producers and marketers access to destinations served by local rail. The pipeline will have a maximum capacity of 165,000 barrels per day. Total cost of the project is estimated at a cost of $55 million.

Two rodeo teams tie at Day of the Cowboy Kling Rodeo and Watford City Wolves tied for first and second place at the Day of the Cowboy Ranch Rodeo on Saturday at the Killdeer Mountain Arena. There were a total of nine teams from around the area competing in the rodeo that featured four events, including Double Team Roping, Water Race, Team Penning, and Catch-And-Rescue Race.

Cody Kleeman won the Top Horse Award while Ryan Hanna got the Top Hand Award. Neal Hoots received the Day of The Cowboy. Neal and Joyce Hoots were also the Honoraries at the Day of the Cowboy Ranch Rodeo. More than a hundred people took their lawn chairs, umbrellas and blankets and parked on the side of the hill at the Killdeer Mountain Arena on Saturday to watch the Day of the Cowboy Ranch Rodeo. There were plenty of food and drink and lots of rodeo action. There was a bump and jump and super slide for the kids outside the arena and rip roaring roping and riding action inside the arena. The rodeo was part of the annual Dunn County Fair. Throughout the week, hundreds of others showed off their stuff in various competitions at the fair.

What are your rights as a Pet Owner in North Dakota question my abilities to take care of By Samantha Merriman-Kershisnik ever an animal, until a couple of weeks ago. For the DC Herald

I have been a pet owner since I was a kid. I have had an indoor dog for all of my life. I have to be honest, I spoil my dogs. Every dog I have ever owned has lived to be at least 15 years old. I let them sleep in my bed, sit on my furniture and ride in my car. I never thought anyone would

My husband and I decided to go out of state to visit family for a week. We asked some relatives (who also happen to be our next door neighbors) to watch our animals and water our plants while we were gone. I am sure anyone who has pets and plants has had to ask people to do this type of thing for them from time

to time. We live on a ranch in the badlands North of Killdeer. While we were gone my beloved dog, Doodles, went missing. My relatives looked and looked for him. They spoke to the oil field workers around our ranch and Doodles was nowhere to be found. We found out that he had been missing the day we were on our way home from vacation. As soon as we got home we drove around on our

four-wheeler for hours shouting his name and stopping people on our farm road to ask them if they had seen him. We happened to find a man who had seen a dog matching his description being picked up next to a rig on our property. I was devastated! I thought I would never see him again. People had to realize that we live SeeRights Page 7

Community showing hometown support for one of our own It is no secret that our community has proven many times, in the past, that we can make a positive impact when we have a common cause. When we heard that one of our young people, Dakota Brekke, had been severely injured in an assault it didn’t take long before plans were

being made to come to his aid. Dakota has attended KIlldeer High School for past few years, graduating this year with the class of 2016. On July 23rd Dakota was enjoying time with his sister Mariah and best friend Brookelynn, in Turtle Lake

when he was approached by two male individuals who began to harass them. With no provocation on Dakota’s part, it then escalated into a brutal assault to him. The attack resulted in several broken bones to his face. The assailants were taken into custody and criminal charges are

pending in McLean County. Dakota has since undergone reconstructive surgery for broken bones to his eye, cheek and jaw. He has also incurred time lost from work. We are asking for support to help Dakota during this difficult time. There has been an account set up at America

Bank Center, as well as a GoFundMe.com page for him. A medical benefit is being planned on August 27th in Dunn Center with a free-will offering supper, live auction, and dance to be help at DC Pub & Grub. Auction items can be dropped off at American Bank Center in Killdeer.

Can These Trees Be Saved? Advise From Professionals Explain Ways To Tell A storm can leave trees looking like there’s no tomorrow. Major limbs may be broken or damaged, foliage can be shredded or stripped, or the bark may be torn or gouged. But what at first glance may look like mortal wounds are not necessarily fatal to a tree. Trees have an amazing ability to recover from storm damage. First, Assess the Damage Before writing off a damaged tree as a “goner,” homeowners should evaluate their trees by asking the following questions: - Other than the storm damage, is the tree basically healthy and vigorous? If the tree is basically healthy, is not creating a

hazard, and did not suffer major structural damage, it will generally recover if first aid measures are applied immediately after the storm. - Are major limbs broken? The larger a broken limb is, the harder it will be for the tree to recover from the damage. If a majority of the main branches are gone, the tree may have little chance of surviving. - Has the leader (the main upward-trending branch on most trees) been lost? In species where a leader is important to upward growth or desirable appearance, it may have to be a judgment call. The tree may live without its leader, but at best would

be a stunted or deformed version of the original. - Is at least 50 percent of the tree’s crown (branches and leaves) still intact? This is a good rule of thumb on tree survivability. A tree with less than half of its branches remaining may not be able to produce enough foliage to nourish the tree through another season. - How big are the wounds where branches have been broken or bark has been damaged? The larger the wound is in relation to the size of the limb, the less likely it is to heal, leaving the tree vulnerable to disease and pests. A two- to three-inch wound on a 12-inch diameter limb will

seal over with new bark within a couple of years. - Are there remaining branches that can form a new branch structure? The remaining limbs will grow more vigorously as the tree tries to replace its missing foliage. Look to see if branches are in place that can eventually fill out the tree’s appearance. - Is the tree of a desirable species for its location? If the tree is in the wrong location (such as a potentially tall tree beneath a power line), or an undesirable species for the property (messy fruit, etc.), it may be best to remove it if it has serious damage. Then, Make the Decision The questions listed

above will help you make informed decisions about your trees. In general, the answer as to what to do about a particular tree will fall into one of three categories: 1: It’s a Keeper If damage is relatively slight, prune any broken branches, repair torn bark or rough edges around wounds, and let the tree begin the process of wound repair. Some examples: An Easy Call: A mature shade tree can usually survive the loss of one major limb. The broken branch should be pruned back to the trunk. In the months to follow, large wounds should be closely monitored for signs of decay. Minor Damage: Although the tree has been damaged, enough strong limbs may remain on a basically healthy tree to make saving it possible. Too Young to Die: Young trees can sustain quite a bit of damage and still recover quickly. If the leader is intact and the structure for future branching remains, re-

move the broken branches and let the tree close over the wounds and recover itself. 2: Wait and See If a valuable tree appears to be a borderline case, resist the temptation to simply cut the tree down and be done with it. In such cases, it may be best to stand back for a while and think it over. Remember that time is on your side. After careful pruning of broken branches, give the tree some time to recover. A final decision can be made later. Easy Does It: (Illustration B4) Resist the temptation to prune too heavily. Remember that the tree will need all the foliage it can produce in order to make it through the next growing season. Remove only the damaged limbs, wait and see what happens. Hold Off: (Illustration B5) A healthy mature tree can recover even when several major limbs are damaged. With large trees, See Trees, Page 7

Song Rest of the Story Bryan's Hey mister, I like your boots’

How much more of this Washington, DC elitism is the American public going to take? The latest? First, paying $400 million to Iran, in cash, via an unmarked, private airplane, is the stuff of spy novels and bad-budget, made-for-TV movies. Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton say it was not a “ransom” for the release of American hostages sitting on an Iranian tarmac in another plane but, rather, a “legitimate debt.” The hostages on the tarmac disagree, but, with a president and ex-secretary of state whose noses grow exponentially with each press conference, it makes it hard to keep swallowing the Koolaid. According to the NY Post, Mr. Obama says, “We announced these payments in January… They were not a secret. It was not a nefarious deal.” OK, Mr. President, we’ll give you the benefit of the doubt—not a pay-off…just more poor foreign policy from the same administration that has unceasingly put this nation at risk with its daily pandering to international terrorism. I genuinely don’t care why this administration sent $400 million dollars to the front men for al Qaeda and their latest ISIS incarnation. The point is that $400 million worth of Stinger missiles, Symtec, vest bombs, AK-47’s, small arms and ammunition has just been handed to these thugs. And the sheer insanity of it is that these weapons will ALL be used against us and our allies. And, the decision to pay in cash to make it even easier to spend it with arms dealers? Obama says, “because the US does not have a banking relationship with the Islamic theocracy.” Like one of our allies doesn’t! More amateur-hour foreign policy. And, again, who was the bonehead who normalized relations with these nut jobs in the first place allowing them to continue their

inevitable march toward a nuclear Armageddon? Oh yeah, that’s right, Barrack Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton…the Brain Trust! Second, in the very next breath, the Post continues, “Obama also scoffed at Donald Trump’s claims that the election was rigged… What does that mean?” I’ll tell you what it means, sir, us folks in fly-over country don’t believe you. And, taking a gratuitous shot at Texas, by scoffing, “If Mr. Trump is suggesting there is a conspiracy theory that is being propagated across the country, including in places like Texas, where it is typically not Democrats in charge of voting booths, that is ridiculous.” And, the passing insult that Trump needs to “start acting like a president” begs the question. Uh, when, exactly did the sitting President, or his previous Secretary of State, start acting like a Commander-in-Chief? Guess I missed that what with all the gun-walking, emailing, Clinton Cashing, lone-wolf killing and such on their watch. Because, folks, regardless as to who you support for President this November, Wikileaks put to rest any doubt whatsoever that Democrats rigged their own primary in favor of Hillary Clinton this year. 20,000 emails—popular Democrat front-runner Bernie Sanders never had a chance. Taking a page from Hillary’s email scandal, hacker Guccifer 2.0 breached DNC servers proving that these folks just don’t get it when it comes to cyber security. And, the

result? Internal memos as far back as May, 2015, the fix for Hillary was in. And, remember, that was while she was still under investigation by the FBI and DoJ. A woman who also mouths finance reform while, at the same time, reaping more shady donor funds from Super-PAC’s and finance law loopholes than any other presidential candidate in American history. Including the Chinese. The Clinton Shuffle version 2.0! Disagree? I guess I just hallucinated all those boo’s for Debbie Wasserman Schultz at the Dem’s convention. And, guys, the rigging of an American Presidential election is not as far-fetched as the establishment would have one think. Just ask Jimmy Carter, who told Thom Hartmann’s audience on July 30, 2015, “Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. senators and congress members.” And, didn’t Bernie Sanders win the Wyoming democratic caucus with 56% of the popular vote and still lose all the super-delegates (4) who had already pledged to support Clinton way back in January? Or, did I just hallucinate that too? Look when MSNBC openly says the process is rigged…I’m just saying! Some are calling this the “illusion of choice.” But, you know what? When a sitting US Supreme Court Justice, an American President and other leaders, who are supposed to stay out of it, bad-mouth a Presidential candidate, the system may not be rigged but, it sure ain’t working like it’s supposed to. And, when your President couples remarks like this, while at the same time back-tracking about ransom money, it certainly portrays the public image of a Washington elite, to whom the rules just don’t apply. And, telling the rest of us that we just don’t know what’s best for ourselves. You know belying that whole Constitutional pursuit of happiness thing. Viva la elección!

I told my wife I was going to a rodeo Saturday in Killdeer and probably wouldn’t be home for supper. She gave me that “Areyou-out-of-your-mind?” look. I’d seen that look before, when I told her I joined a softball team. “You’re not going to BE in the rodeo, are you?” she asked, her face frozen in uncertainty. “What? No, don’t be silly,” I told her. “I’m going to take some flicks.” She still had that look, not sure whether she should believe me or get the insurance papers ready for the doctor’s office like she did during my run with the softball team. “OK, but if you try something stupid over there, you’re going to be in big trouble, mister,” she said with a smile. I don’t think that smile was genuine. That night, I got my trusty old Nikon ready. And I figured I better do some research on the subject. Although this was my first rodeo, this wasn’t my first rodeo in preparing for an assignment. I pulled out some old VCR tapes of John Wayne’s best flicks. I munched on munchies watching The Duke hire a group of “Cowboys” to drive a herd to South Dakota. I also watched Big John’s trio or Rios … Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo and Rio Grande. After the movies, I put on some mood music. (No, it wasn’t that kind of Friday night mood music). It was Waylon and Willie, and one of the songs was “Mammas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.” I quickly fell asleep. And I’m sure I had a smile on my face. I work up early and rustled up some grub … a mess of eggs, bacon, biscuits and coffee. We were “burning daylight,” something The Duke told his “Cowboys” all the time. I would like to say I mowed the north 40 after breakfast, but I can’t. We don’t have a north 40. Plus I was still sleepy, so I told The

Duke to “put a sock in it” and I went back to bed. I woke up about 10 minutes later and heard some commotion in the kitchen. It was Wifey, and she was madder than a wet hen. I forgot to clean up after myself and she was clanging around in the kitchen mumbling something about burying me in boot hill. I figured my best bet would to make the bed, jump in the shower and get outside to mow the lawn – any lawn. Luckily there was gas in my mower and leftover hot coffee in her coffee pot. Shortly after I started the mowing, she came out onto the deck. The coffee and smell of freshly cut grass brought a smile to her face. Whew, I was off the hook. When I was done, I did more research, this time with the Cartwrights on “Bonanza,” and then the folks on “Wagon Train.” I was ready. I packed my gear into my pick-up truck and headed to the rodeo. When I got to town, I saw the multitude of pick-ups and horse trailers around the arena, and I thought I heard the buzz of horse flies, but I might’ve been mistaken. I was pretty pumped for this assignment. The last time I was this excited to cover the cowboys was when the boys from Dallas squared off against the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. I came here to the land of galloping giddiyups, hamburgers with hoofs and horns, of Stetson hats, Wrangler jeans, colorful shirts with snaps, spurfastened Justin boots and big belt buckles, not knowing what to expect. I knew immediately I missed the boat on what to wear. I guess this was my

first rodeo in preparing for a rodeo. I figured it was going to be hot, so I dressed in a short-sleeved polo shirt and a pair of fashionable denim shorts and a pair of Mizuno running shoes. They were fashionable all right … if your name was Skippy playing crochet with your cousins Buffy and Pinky. Lesson learned. After I slapped two Lincolns down at the ticket booth, I walked down the hill to get set up. I was met by a young lad of about seven or eight. He looked like a miniature John Wayne … cowboy hat, jeans, neatly tucked in shirt, boots and a kerchief around his neck. He gave the once over, inspecting me from head to toe. He kind of smirked and said: “Mister, I like your boots.” I chuckled at that little whipper snapper. It was funny. I made my way around the arena, capturing of images of those cowboys expertly riding those magnificent beasts, and roping those ornery doggies with precision accuracy. OK, so sometimes it wasn’t so expertly and the precision wasn’t so accurate. But it was still exciting. I was able to get some close ups of a couple of horses tied to a pen outside the arena. After shooting a couple of flicks, I pictured myself riding those steeds just like The Duke and Little Joe. I went to pet one of the giddy ups, and he must’ve known what I was thinking, because he gave me one of those “Are-youout-of-your-mind?” looks. I chickened out and backed away. As I did, I felt my right “boot” slip a bit. I looked down and I had stepped in a pile of … well, let’s just say it drew some of those flies. And that horse, maybe it was a coincidence, looked at me and whinnied as if he was laughing at me. I chuckled at that big ol’ hoss. It was funny. I figured it was time to go. I had enough pictures and my “boots” needed some Tide.

Hat Tips

Buckskin Bar & Grill

Farmers Union Insurance Agent BreeAnn Hauck

Hello, Sometimes Shirley gets on my nerves. We’ve been pretty busy this summer. Luckily, we had some hay to put up. And unluckily, our fences aren’t real good. So we’ve either been putting up hay, or chasing the cows that are in the neighbors field. But as haying season is wrapping up, Shirley started thinking we should go on a summer vacation. She doesn’t consider my taking a day a week off for men’s day golf a family vacation! Women are funny that way. I told her how we went to Killdeer for Lynn’s birthday party. She said that was not a family vacation. Then I explained that we went to Reva and spent the night at our son’s ranch. She said hauling bulls to the pasture is not a vacation. We went to Medora overnight for a political function. Didn’t count. So this weekend I bit the bullet and we took a real vacation. We went to Ekalaka, Montana for the Carter County Fair. I don’t suppose a lot of you have been to Ekalaka. And maybe a lot of you

haven’t been to a county fair. Three of my favorite fairs take place in a hundred mile circle around the Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota corners. The Slope County fair at Amidon. The Harding County Fair at Camp Crook. And now, the Carter County Fair in Ekalaka. They are good because I enjoy the drive to them. I enjoy seeing the vast fields northeast of Amidon. I enjoy driving by White and Black Buttes southwest of Amidon. I enjoy the vastness of the prairie between Buffalo and Camp Crook. I enjoy the Medicine Rocks north of Ekalaka. I enjoy the gray gumbo buttes that dot Harding County. And the Long Pines of Carter County. I enjoy the parade at Camp Crook and the parade at Ekalaka. I enjoy the museum at Ekalaka and the 4-H kids at Amidon. I enjoy the rodeos and the watermelon eating contests. But mostly I enjoy seeing the people. The lean, hard cowboys with the sun and wind burnt faces and wrinkled eyes from looking into the wind that sweeps

across that country. The mothers packing one kid and following three more with cotton candy on their faces and dirty hands from playing in the dust around the arena. I enjoy the kids that will stand in the sun all day to watch the sheep riding, but make sure their horse is tied in the shade on a hot afternoon. Anyway, I took Shirley to the Carter County Fair for a summer vacation. We stayed overnight! Really! Well, we slept in the nose of a horse trailer. Didn’t shower or shave for two days. But dang it was a good vacation. Because of the people. And I ran into an old friend. A retired friend. I asked him what he had been doing to keep busy. Now this guy is the least mechanical man I have ever met. And he replied he had been doing “mechanic work”. “What?” He replied, “Yesterday I put a rear end in a recliner!” Go to the fair. You’ll be glad you did. Later, Dean

That's Life You don’t need a clock, don’t need a calendar. The first swath of hay marks the midpoint of summer. Fallen wheat fields, gold and finished, remind us it is time to put up stores for winter. Now, as more time is behind me than ahead, the swiftness of the season reminds me of things to be done, old friends to see. That’s what last weekend was about. ou wouldn’t think it would be hard to steer three of us in the same direction at the same time, but India and Dylan have packed so much into one summer, it sometimes felt like we were ships... no, fast jet airplanes, passing in the night. It took The Great Harriet Howe to bring us together. Harriet is one of those foxhole friends who also happens to be The World’s Greatest Storyteller. She’s Irish, so the details may be suspect, but the plot is always delicious. When she insisted, after several years had passed between us, that we visit her on the occasion of her consort Bill’s 76th birthday, we couldn’t say no. Nor did we want to. The kids love this provocateur and the feisty squall of laughter around her. We couldn’t wait to meet Bill. It was Harriet, then The World’s Greatest Science Teacher, who introduced me to an epic cast of characters in Hettinger, North Dakota, a time and place, a confluence, a conjunction of stars, asteroids and killer comets, that could never be recreated. It takes powers greater than ours to align such things. We dare not try. It was, auspiciously, the Fourth of July, 25 years ago, when the revolution began in earnest. I was a young editor in that pugnacious West River town, hired as cannon fodder for a newspaper in bankruptcy. Before my arrival, the highlight of the paper was the front-page advertisement for a toenail clipping service. I started reporting the news, which caused all hell to break loose in complacent government circles. Thus, I think, the invitation to meet what I realize now was the rest of

Last drops By Tony Bender Guest Columnist the Boston Tea Party. There was Ted Uecker, self-proclaimed World’s Greatest Lover and Biggest Liar, and his beautiful blond wife, Nancy, who, as a matter of survival, had to become almost as flinty as Ted. Tom Secrest, a local attorney, towered silently over the gatherings. A former executive director of the North Dakota GOP, he had a picture of President Nixon in his office. A political rival of his picked up the paper one day and seeing Secrest on the front page said, “That’s him, all right, a horse’s ass!” In spite of that endorsement― probably because of it―Tom and I became great friends. There were the Johnsons, the Dangeruds, token liberals, Harriet and her classic cowboy husband, the late Jim Howe, and another Irish imp named Al McIntyre, a local radio host who had the ability to instigate a fight even among saints. When bedlam predictably ensued, he would shake his head and complain how sad it was that people just couldn’t get along anymore. And so, Harriet dragged me into the scrum that Independence Day. To this day, I keep my fists raised high and my head bobbing. Without dredging up details, even if I could, it was argumentative, festive and wickedly funny. I would discover that was the template for all the impromptu gatherings, almost always in the Uecker kitchen, fueled by the finest wine. If you were foolish enough to bring a bottle as an offering, Ted would wrinkle his nose at the first taste and declare it, “rat piss.” We argued politics. We said outrageous things to each other. Harriet, always on the side of truth and justice, Ted on the other side. You could say anything, no matter how

dark and malicious, as long as it met the unwritten code―it had to be funny. We would look up, and it would be 1 a.m. McIntyre, having instigated some brouhaha, had long ago slipped out and was no doubt slumbering away in bed with a satisfied smile on his lips. At evening’s end, Ted and Harriet made their peace. OK, sometimes it took a few days, but it always ended with goodnight hugs among us and sincere declarations of our affection. “Antoine,” Ted would say, “I love ya... in spite of your bone-headed politics.” How could you not adore the woman who introduced you to that universe? So, this weekend, we forgot about the clock, the passing of seasons. The three of us allowed Harriet to regale us with tales of grand adventures and to demand great things from us. Bill, a brilliant introvert with uncommon common sense, floated in and above it all, surely thinking internally how lucky he was to be with her. There were a thousand things to do at that lake cabin. We did almost none of them. “Harriet,” I said, as she listed possible entertainment for the kids, “They’re here to see you. They’re here to bask in your presence.” And, she smiled, quite pleased with herself. When we talked of old times and the loyalty that bound us, Harriet called Ted and passed the phone to me. “Ted, we were discussing your redeeming qualities,” I told the troublemaker on the other end of the line. “It was a pretty short conversation...” He roared and insulted me back until it was time for breakfast. There was champagne, blended with orange juice, and Bill’s famous omelets. Even though the clock was relentlessly ticking outside those walls, inside we were immune. We lingered for most of the morning. Following Harriet and Bill’s lead, it seemed as if we were extracting every last drop from the day, like a well-squeezed orange. © Tony Bender, 2016

RIGHTS

FROM PAGE 1

here, right? I cringed to think that someone just wanted a dog and took mine. I still went ahead and put up posters all over our farm roads and in town. I called the police station, vet, and posted on all the pages and website I could think of. A few days passed and I thought for sure I would never see him again. But then, that following Tuesday night an animal rescue person called us and asked if we had lost a dog. He told us that Doodles was in bad shape and that he had spent nearly 300 dollars in vet bills to get him fixed up. We were shocked! We asked if we could come pick him up immediately and if the rescue guy could bring us a bill from the vet and we would reimburse him. It was implied that we were neglectful of my dog and a threat was made against my relatives who had been watching him to have animal abuse charges pressed against them. I was baffled. We made arrangements to meet the rescue person at a grocery store parking lot in Watford City. My dog had been driven all the way to Watford City 60 miles away from where we live. He had been taken there by a rig worker who eventually called us later that night and admitted to taking him. The rig worker had handed my dog over to a teenage girl who then took him to the rescue guy and to the vet in Watford city. On the way to pick up my dog I decided to call my Father, since he is a states attorney here, to find out what exactly my rights were in this situation before I went to meet the rescue worker. I thought I would share what I discovered with our readers because we searched online and have found many instances of this same sort of situation happening with peoples pets being taken (accidentally mistaken for a stray) and I want other pet owners to know what their rights are before they pay any money or deal with someone who is in possession of their animal and in turn their personal property. After going through this ordeal I felt extremely violated. I would like to help pet owners who truly love their animals to never have to go through what we went through. Firstly, my pet was taken off of my property. We have “No Trespassing” signs posted and have granted special permission to oil field trucks to come through our private roads so that they can do their work. So the first violation would be Trespassing. Secondly, since my pet was removed from my property he was in fact stolen property. Despite popular misconception, a pet is personal property. And, when it goes lost or missing North Dakota Supreme Court in a 1981 case said that anyone who “finds” (rescues) it has the duty to find the owner. Doodles could not be considered a “stray” because in North Dakota, “estrays” can only be livestock not pets. Thirdly, this was not an animal abuse or neglect case because §§36-21.201, et. seq. of the century code states that a layperson cannot seize any animal in this state without first involving local law enforcement and that agency (not the rescue facility) must get a court order. And in my case, there was no court order. Fourthly, to actually be an animal abuse, neglect or abandonment case there are specific legal requirements which were never explained to me here. Doodles was well fed, watered and healthy. He was supposedly dirty but being dirty does not constitute abuse or neglect. I live in the badlands. Our pets get dirty from time to time. Fifthly, I had no legal duty to repay any vet costs that the rescue person incurred (even though we did) because the rescue worker was a “bailee” of my personal property and, therefore, my “fiduciary” that had to return my dog to me as soon as I identified that he belonged to me. And, if he had tried to keep my dog from me now that he knew I existed §12.1-2307, NDCC made that a likely crime too. When we arrived in Watford City to pick up my dog there was a police officer present who was a friend of the rescue worker. I asked him if the Sheriff had sent him and he said no. I had called the sheriff on my way to the grocery store as well to make sure the situation was safe. The sheriff said he knew the rescue worker and that he was a good guy. He was a loved one of a deputy there in Watford. The sheriff told me to call him if there was

a problem obtaining my dog. Here is where things got weird. When we arrived the rescue worker informed me that he would need a copy of my driver’s license and that I had to sign a contract which stated that I was acknowledging that I had abused and neglected my animal. Also, I had to initial that the rescue people would have permission to come onto my property and check up on me and my animal. Furthermore, until a rescue person signed off on my ability to take care of my animal they could pop by at any moment until I was deemed worthy. I again called my Father. The rescue man tried to put Doodles back into his vehicle after I refused to sign his contract or give him a copy of my driver’s license. The rescue worker told us he would not give Doodles to us until we did as he asked. My Dad informed me that I didn’t have to sign any such contract as it was not compliant with North Dakota State law and it was also illegal for the rescue person to try to take a copy of my driver’s license. My husband worked things out with the rescue guy by paying the rescue worker 200 dollars and my husband promised to meet him in the morning to pay any more costs that were due to the vet. We didn’t want to stiff the vet. We ended up paying the vet an additional 50 bucks. I was just grateful to get my dog back. A day later on facebook a friend shared a post with me from a Watford City community page in which a woman had posted about returning Doodles to his owners calling me rude and ungrateful. There was even a man commenting that next time she should just wait the 5 days and keep the animal. That is when it hit me. People really think that they are doing you a favor by picking up your dog. And apparently there is some misconception that if you handle the animal for 5 days it magically becomes yours and that you won’t have to return the pet to its rightful owner. So, here it is, the actual law regarding the discovery of someone else’s animal. I hope that this helps people understand what their rights are to their pets. And I hope it informs people who want to help animals that there are legal limits to what you can do with an animal that belongs to someone else no matter how well your intensions. Not everyone is an animal abuser that has lost a pet. If you are working or driving in the badlands or ranching areas please don’t pick up an animal that looks lost or dirty because his home may be just over the hill. Once you find the animals’ owner, please don’t violate their rights. Friendly pets, particularly if oilfield workers are going to feed and play with them, are going to roam, close to home, and sometimes come back before dark. And just because they get dirty it doesn’t make them abused, neglected or abandoned. I hope this article helps to clear up what the law says about lost animals. I also want to say that I understand that there are some animals that have been legitimately abused and that they deserve some kind of protection. I would trust the rescue people in Watford with my dog any day. The guy who took care of him was only trying to help. I am so grateful for the good care my dog received while he was missing. But I think that the contract they are trying to make people sign to reclaim their pet’s needs to be re-examined. If what you are trying to force people to sign or hand over to obtain their lost animal isn’t congruent with the law in North Dakota then changes needed to be made.

TREES

FROM PAGE 2

a professional arborist should be brought in to assess damage on a borderline situation, and to safely accomplish needed pruning and branch removal. 3: Say Goodbye Some trees simply can’t be saved or are not worth saving. If the tree has already been weakened by disease, if the trunk is split, or more than 50 percent of the crown is gone, the tree has lost its survival edge. Tree Tragedy: (Illustration B6) This otherwise healthy young tree has lost too much of its crown - the leafy head that is vital for survival. It will probably not be able to grow enough new branches and leaves to provide needed nourishment, and will never be able to regain its former beautiful shape. Hopeless Case: (Illustration B7) About all that’s left of this tree is its trunk. The few remaining branches can’t provide enough foliage to enable the tree to make it through another growing season.

Farewell to a Friend: (Illustration B8) A rotten inner core in the trunk or structural weakness in branching patterns can cause a split trunk- the tree equivalent of a heart attack. The wounds are too large to ever mend, and the tree has lost its sap lifeline between roots and leaves. This tree is all but dead. Don’t Try to Do It All Alone Some of your trees may have damage that’s too close to call, or may have hidden damage. To help with such questions, a tree professional may be needed to help you decide what to do about your trees. Don’t hire just anyone who shows up at your door following a storm. Look for qualified arborists in the phone book or by contacting your state or city forester. For free information about saving trees that have been damaged in a storm, send your name and address to: The National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410. Also feel free to contact your local Dunn County Extension Office for more resources and publications regarding trees. Local number is 701-764-5593.

SPORTS Fall sports season opens with cross country relay at Medicine Hole Course Cross country is normally known as a relay haven. But that’s what the runners will be doing at Killdeer High School’s season-opening cross country meet on Thursday. The Cowboys will be hosting Parshall, Southern McClain, Hettinger and Garrison at the Medicine Hole Golf Course starting at 10 a.m. “It’s going to be something different to start the year,” said Killdeer head cross country coach Nathan Horgeshimer. Each school will have six runners, with the runners split up into three pairs. The pairs will be split into divisions, “A” and “B.” The “A” runners will start the race and will run a mile before passing off the “B” runners. Each runner run a total of three miles, said Horgeshimer. There will also be a junior varsity race, which will be run at the same time. The junior varsity runners will run a total of two miles, Horgeshimer said. “It will be a full race, but gives them a little different look,” said Horgeshimer. The Cowboys are excited to get the season under way, he said. The girls team has 10 girls and the boys has eight members, Horgeshimer said. Katelynn Lane on the girls squad and Colby Dukart on the boys team are the only seniors the Cowboys have this year. “We kind of have a mix of youth and experience,” said Horgeshimer.

Don’t look now, folks, but it appears we have all survived the dreaded offseason! I don’t know about you, but I am certainly excited to have live NFL games on my television, even if those games are being played by third and fourth stringers, players who likely won’t make the final 53-man roster of their respective teams. On Friday, the Minnesota Vikings took on the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium, with a 17-16 victory. Before becoming the head coach of the Vikings, Mike Zimmer spent six years in Cincinnati as the defensive coordinator. With Zimmer and former Bengals players like Andre Smith and Emmanuel Lamur in purple and gold, there were plenty of connections between these two teams. Offensively, it was a

‘It’s going to be something different to start the year.’ - Nathan Horgeshimer, Killdeer cross country coach

SKOL!: The Vikings Vine rough start for the Vikings, particularly the offensive line. In the first series, the only one against the Bengals’ starting defense, Teddy Bridgewater seemed to be running for his life on every play. Luckily, Bridgewater’s second series, which was against backups, went much better. Teddy finished the game with 92 yards and a touchdown, completing six of seven passes. Shaun Hill looked the part of a veteran backup quarterback, and Joel Stave, the Vikings’ current third string QB (because Taylor Heinicke is injured), had a really up and down day. On the whole, the Vikings had 220 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception (Stave).

By Jordan Wright

While the passing game might have been mediocre, the running game was severely inadequate. Playing without Adrian Peterson, the Vikings gained a total of 56 yards on 22 carries. On a positive note, C.J. Ham was able to plunge it into the endzone for one of the Vikings’ two touchdowns in the game. The bright spot for the offense was definitely the Vikings’ receivers, with the play of

the game coming when Charles Johnson broke loose with a nifty double move and caught a 49-yard touchdown from Teddy. Defensively, the Vikings started the game by allowing the Bengals to move up and down the field however they liked. Taking the bend but don’t break approach, the Vikings defense gave up 357 total yards but only surrendered 10 points. Antone Exum Jr and Justin Trattou both had a sack, while the Vikings’ two rookie defensive backs from Clemson (Mackenzie Alexander and Jayron Kearse) each had an interception. The player of the game was Laquon Treadwell, who caught four passes for

41 yards. Treadwell was able to gain just enough separation throughout the game to give the QB a window to throw into, while also showing the ability to make difficult catches and fight through tackles to pick up important first downs. Trae Waynes also played a wonderful game, staying with the receivers and playing the ball well. The player who needs the most improvement was (insert any offensive lineman’s name here). It might sound like a broken record, but the Vikings’ offensive line was atrocious. The front office made a concerted effort to strengthen the position during the offseason, but it didn’t seem to matter in the first pre-

season game. There is certainly plenty of work to be done, but I’m not ready to call it a disaster. Yet. Looking ahead, the Vikings will take on the Seattle Seahawks this Thursday, August 18. The two teams met twice last year, with the Seahawks narrowly edging out the Vikings in the first round of the playoffs. The rational thing to say is that this game is just a preseason game, and the outcome doesn’t matter nearly as much as player progression. However, it would be nice to see the Vikings come away with a victory. And you can bet the players aren’t going to take this game lightly.

Dribble from the Pen ychicus, A Faithful Ambassador August 15, 20016 Col. 4:7 “As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bondservant in the Lord, will bring you information.”

“Let us remember that the inviolableness of the ambassador depends on his function, and not on his person; and that if we want to be kept from all evil, we must do the work for which we have been sent here.1” The Apostle Paul often took the time to credit those who had labored with him in his missions work and those who had cared for needs of his own as well as those within his party. His epistles conclude with an array of names that included those whom had traveled with him and/or labored in some office of ministry within his missions endeavors. Paul’s ministry urs- reach had touched a large bitz. area of Asia and Macedonia and now imprisoned, communication to these churches and Believers fell into the hands of those whom Paul could trust. Of the catalog of names that frequents the Apostles conclusions to his letters, Tychicus is one name that shows up in his letters to the Ephesians, Colossians, Timothy and Titus. It is safe to say that Paul put much stock in the man from Asia who would accompany Paul to Jerusalem to deliver the love gift from the churches of Macedonia and Achaia; “And he was accompanied by Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.” (Acts

Bible answers to everyday questions. By Reverend Ray 20:4) It seems Paul entrusted Tychicus with the responsibility of acting as his own private ambassador among the churches having sent him on at least three occasions to places where Paul had established ministries. In 2 Tim.4:12, Paul tells Timothy; “But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.” Elsewhere Paul sent Tychicus to Crete to encounter Titus, (Titus 3:12) and finally here in our passage cited Paul indicates that he is sending Tychicus to Colossea. It is clear that Tychicus had proven to be a great benefit to Paul’s efforts to minister to the saints of the various churches. One must consider that Paul, himself had been entrusted by God with the colossal responsibility of delivering the gospel message of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles; thus, to be Paul’s personal ambassador to these saints, whom Paul deeply loved and poured his life into, was noteworthy and a noble calling for Tychicus. In this light, Paul speaks to the saints at Colossea in high and favorable terms regarding Tychicus. It is Paul’s eminent description of Tychicus, which is cited twice in Paul’s letters to the churches; Ephesians 6:21 and Colossians 4:7 that provokes us to consider these qualities mentioned of him. We note first that Paul refers to Tychicus as a beloved brother. Paul’s affection for him stemmed first of all from the fact that Tychicus was a part of the family of God in Christ. There was a clear dis-

play of Tychicus’ faith in Christ, which caused Paul to note the depth of the value God had placed on Tychicus. He was beloved because he was loved of God through Christ. Secondly, Tychicus had demonstrated to Paul that he could be entrusted with the most precious jewel of the universe, mainly, the gospel message and the carrying of the letters of correspondence to the churches from Paul. In short, he was faithful to the task of honorably representing Paul as an ambassador to the churches. But all of these qualities rested on the shoulders of the third quality Paul assigns to Tychicus. It is to be noted that Paul notes that he is a bond-slave in the Lord. This term or characteristic was the same term that Paul had regularly referred to himself as. Tychicus was beloved and faithful and a co-slave with Paul – IN JESUS ChRIST. In other words, Tychicus had sold out all for Christ. This wasn’t a man with a religious bent. It was a man like Paul who had enslaved himself to the High King of heaven and exercised no options of recanting or diluting the significance of his position. As an ambassador in service to Paul, he accurately represented Paul. But even more so, he was an ambassador of Christ as a bond-slave and the noted characteristics were simply the outcome of his Christological ambassadorship. Every saint has been dubbed with this office. The question remains; what would be said of us in a letter? Dribble from the pen 1 MacLaren, A. (2009).

Welcome to the Jihad, Part V By Pat Merrimann For the DC Herald

Deception, infiltration, conflict and consolidation. The next step in radical Islam is open warfare. Beheadings, attacks on police, the military and public institutions erupts full scale in the name of “protest”. The tool will be fear to induce submission. And, there will be no dissent tolerated. Assassination, public executions, suicide bombing, and mass casualties are tools to cement power. Disagree? Largely unreported by the media are the mutilations of victims in the Paris and other attacks. As reported by the NY Post, and I was briefed by contacts I still have in the US military, while Paris police were “negotiating” with terrorists, any infidel or Shia at the Bataclan Theater had eyes gouged out, was raped, disemboweled, castrated or genitally mutilated. Authorities claim this was kept silent out of respect to the victims or, because they were caused by explosion. No so according to eye witnesses. Dawn Perlmutter, Associate Fellow at the Middle East Forum, says that such atrocities are considered “sacred acts against the enemies of Islam”. Beheading, gang rape (of both men, women and children), torture, dismemberment, castration, blinding, and traumatic amputation. Kenya’s Westgate shopping Mall, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Mumbai, India. Such atrocities included American soldiers in Baghdad, Iraq, jihadist murders in London and Massachusetts. “Islamist mutilation…ritualistic crime; a collective, provocative and incendiary desecration of the enemy… brutalizing the enemies of Islam including women and children.” Why? It’s all about power and humiliation. In every country that has reached this phase of the colonization process, ethnic cleansing has also been a tool of radical Islam. Destruction of churches, shrines, temples and other nonMuslim worship sites. And, women are brutally brought to heel as

strong restrictions on dress, jewelry and public intercourse are imposed. The “people” pour into the streets to embrace Islam. Under the new regime, politicians no longer exist and Shariah Law is absolute. Islam (the church) IS the state and there can be no criticism of the local, radical Imam’s interpretation of Shariah Law. Human rights do not exist. Reporter Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center picks up the ball with the link between BLM and ISIS, “No sooner are the bloodstains and bits of human flesh hosed off the concrete from the latest Muslim or Black Lives Matter terrorist attack and the grieving families ushered through the cold metal doors of impersonal morgues to identify the bodies of their loved ones that the vultures of the media rise above a wounded city and begin spinning the same old lies. The propaganda, the artful selection and deselection of facts, have become as familiar to us as they were to any of the residents of the Soviet Union or North Korea. Anyone who pays attention knows not only that they are being lied to, but can easily predict the lies that they will be told on the evening news even before they actually hear them being spoken out loud.” OUCH! Greenfield’s point is that the friend of my friend is my friend in the world of ISIS. Lone wolf attacks against any institution of public order or secular law furthers ISIS’ view of Islam and, by definition, is an ISIS-sponsored (actively or tacitly) terrorist incident. Greenfield’s point is that our media in this country continues to play the dupe. Killers in Nice, Orlando, Baton Rouge, and Dallas are NOT terrorists. They were just “Irreligious, depressed loners with family problems. Check. No connection to Islamic terrorism. Suggestion of mental illness. Check and check. Insistence on his lack of interest in religion? One final check.” It’s the same old schtick says Greenfield. He states that there can

be no doubt about the link between BLM and ISIS. “The left supports the ideologies, black nationalism and Islam, in whose name they carried out their crimes.” And, labeling the BLM, Dallas cop-killer “as ‘reclusive’ even though he spent his time partying with a laundry list of racist black nationalist groups, including the New Black Panther Party.” The same, tired, leftist rhetoric that leaves the dead’s candlelight vigil to move on to the next killing ground. It’s media spin of the first order. Greenfield asks one to wonder what the current media would have said in 1939 as Adolph Hitler began his march, “the same thing could have been said about… the Nazi elite. Political radicalism attracts unstable people. This does not mean that we can ignore the ideologies of political radicals by reducing them to personal pathologies. Doing so with a political movement is dishonest and futile. The Nazis could not have been defeated by pretending that they didn’t exist.” To save ourselves from the Nazi threat, we ALL agreed that we were in a world war against an ideology. In order to combat ISIS here in the United States, we have to stop “tolerating” radical Islam and hamstringing our guardians in the name of civil rights. Greenfield sums it up eloquently, “As the violence increases, so do the cover-ups. Anyone who reaches the obvious conclusion about Islamic terrorism and BLM is dubbed a bigot… Gun control is revived, not just for its own sake, but as a convenient distraction. Just as the crimes of Communism dragged the left deeper into the cover-up with each bloody year, so too the crimes of Islam and black nationalism stain the left’s hands a darker shade of red every single month.” Folks, the First Amendment does NOT protect all speech. Riot and insurrection are crimes and when they are committed by foreign nationals on US soil, an act of war. When will our leaders get it?

Killdeer FFA Officer Team attends Officer Retreat

The Killdeer FFA Chapter officers and advisor David Leier attended a three-day rereat at Lake Metigoshe Aug. 2-5. The officers engaged in sessions on philanthropy/service, teamwork, priorities and sacrifice, parliamentary procedure, and levels of leadership. They also had the opportunity for some activities as well, including participating in the ropes course at Camp Metigoshe, touring the International Peace Gardens,

and an evening on pontoons on Lake Metigoshe. The retreat was done in conjunction with the Hebron FFA Chapter and so the officers had the opportunity to socialize with other FFA members and build friendships. The team returned back to Killdeer on Aug. 5. It was a very successful retreat and the officers sharpened their leadership skills and prepared to begin the year.
