School starting with big crowds

Staff Report School is back. And in Killdeer, that means the crowds are also. Killdeer started classes Aug. 21. While the Killdeer School District is still trying to lock down a site for a new campus, there is one thing for certain, the current school is running out of room for them. Like a slow-rolling tsunami of students, Killdeer District Superintendent Gary Wilz has been working towards alleviating the crowding with a new campus. However, he and the district have hit a snag. They haven’t been able to secure a new parcel of land for a new campus. The enrollemnt through the sixth grade is now more than 400 students.

A Hard Ride in Killdeer

For two nights, bullriding was the center of attention in Killdeer. Or at least the new Killdeer Rodeo Arena west of the city. The Mann Energy-sponsored PBR stop in Killdeer ended with Kansan Skeeter Kingsolver of McLouth winning. Albert Lebaron was second, with Kache Moosman of Price Utah placing third in the competition.

The hard part was staying on the bull during the PBR event in Killdeer over the weekend. Herald photos / Brad Mosher

Attorney Ross L. Sundeen, past president of the North Dakota Association for Justice, has been honored by his government colleagues and elected president of the North Dakota States Attorney’s Association (NDSAA). NDSAA provides North Dakota prosecutors with continROSS SUNDEEN ued education and training, and unifies the voice of prosecutors on local, state and national legal policy. Sundeen said he’d earned the respect of his peers and adversaries for his commonsense approach to public service by being fair handed and truthful in pursuit of justice. “A true call to public service is to work for the common good,” says Sundeen. “If you want to be good a public servant, you need to effectively apply seven core values: responsiveness, integrity, impartiality, accountability; respect; leadership and human rights.”

HAT TIPS: I still love to attend county fairs.... Dean Meyer’s HAT TIPS has been brought to you by these local sponsors

Hello, If you’ve been reading my column over the years, you know how I appreciate county fairs. Not the big State Fairs. The little county fairs where you can see who in the neighborhood has the nicest garden, the best welder, the coolest photographs, and which 4-H club has put in the most work. The two county fairs I still love to attend are the Harding County Fair in Camp Crook, SD, and the Slope County Fair in Amidon, ND. We attended the Harding County Fair this past weekend. And I have to brag a little. Our grandkids dominated the hog division at the livestock show. RJ was the champion showman and Evan showed the grand champion hog! Now I will have to admit that Harding County is not known for raising hogs. It is cattle, sheep, and horse country. And this year it is known for raising hay. Thousand upon thousand bales of hay cover the open prairies of South Dakota. It is well worth the drive to see if you have an afternoon off. Back to the hogs. I will have to admit that Evan and RJ had the only two hogs exhibited at the fair, but I am confident they would have won if

DEAN MEYERS there had been a thousand hogs. The county fair at Camp Crook is a family affair. It’s one fair where you can attend a wonderful saddle bronc riding match, the exhibits, a full blown rodeo, a street dance, prairie dog golf match, a community ice cream social, and a bunch of other stuff. All the while not having to worry about if your kids are safe. Everywhere you go, you will see piles of bicycles. There is a constant gang of bikers roaming around town. Enough of Camp Crook is paved that it is a pretty good treat for ranch

kids, whose bikes seldom see anything but gravel, to cycle between the ball court and the fair grounds. Harding County is a community that remembers the reason for county fairs. I thank you for that. Back to the hogs. When I was in 4-H fifty some years ago, we attended 4-H achievement days at the State Fair grounds in Minot. I was on the livestock judging team. One night our 4-H club walked the mile or so to attend a movie at the Empire Theatre in downtown Minot. On the way home from the movie we cut through the livestock barns. There we came across an old guy, maybe 25 years old, that had been uptown way too long. He was in a talkative mood and offered to show us the hogs we were to judge the next day. Naturally this sparked out interest. We were skeptical but listened carefully to his placings and reasons. The next day, lo and behold, it was the same hogs! When they gave out the awards, our 4-H leader was astounded. We swept the top four placings in the hog judging. This qualified us to go to State! That didn’t go near as well. Different hogs. Later, Dean

OMDAHL: We don’t always to the right thing... By Lloyd Omdahl When Director of Corrections and Rehabilitation Leann Bertsch announced a new “Justice Reinvestment” program to reduce the prison population and cut recidivism, this column hailed the program with a quotation from Governing, a magazine for state and local governments: North Dakota is conducting a prison experiment unlike anything else in the United States. Wow! That kind of national recognition is heady and important enough to try. Leann had been to Norway and found that it had less recidivism than North Dakota and decided that this was the time to change tactics. Norway demonstrated a strong interest in closing the gap between life in prison and life back in society. So North Dakota is now doing the same. Motivated by the spiraling cost of hosting more and more prisoners, state policymakers were becoming concerned over the cost of around $50,000 per prisoner per year. Drugs are pushing the figures. In 2013, we had around 3,400 drug arrests and in 2018 it was 5,400. According to Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, recorded by Sam Easter of the North Dakota Newspaper Association, “if we are not adequately and affordably addressing addiction and treatment for addic-

tion, we are only going to see these people back in the criminal justice system time and again.” With that ominous observation, we need to look at comments by those on the scene and detect what they

are trying to tell us about the program. Back to Attorney General Stenehjem: “”We need to devote more resources… we’ve been addressing that, and the Legislature has, too, but not enough.”

Earlier this year, Aaron Birst of the North Dakota State’s Attorney Association, said that $7 million for community behavioral health

A year ago, the elementary school attendance started with 373 students. The staff has also increased from 49 teachers in 2018 when school started. Now it is 58 certified staff members

which includes office staff and others also, according to the elementary principal, Andrew Cook. That growth is also occuring at the high school level also with the numbers increasing from 2017-2018 (208 students) to more than 250 currently.

The hallways were full and the school office was busy as the Killdeer Public School held an Open House Tuesday. Not only were students and parents getting a look at new classrooms and teachers, but new students were being added to the enrollment. HERALD/Brad Mosher

LOCAL County purchase adds security for vehicles Sample Motors is no more, but the building near the Dunn County Courthouse will be soon renovated to become a motor pool and storage area for the Dunn County Sheriffs Office, according to the Sheriff, Gary Kuhn. The property was purchased and officially changed hands Aug.1, according to the Dunn

County Auditor, Tracy Dolezal. The Sample Motors property had been up for sale for a while, according to the auditor. “We haven’t done much with it yet, but we will probably use for a wash bay and to store equipment,” she added. The sheriff will use the main building on the east side of the highway.

Diseased rabbit threatens pets, humans A rabbit found in Sheridan County tested positive for Francisella tularensis, the bacteria that causes the zoonotic disease, tularemia. The disease can be transmitted through direct contact with blood or tissue of infected animals, inhalation of contaminated dust or aerosols, ingestion of contaminated food or water, and through the bites of infected ticks and deer flies. Humans and domestic animals are susceptible to tularemia, which can be life-threatening if untreated. “Symptoms of tularemia in humans vary depending on how the infection was acquired and generally appear one to 14 days after exposure,” said Laura Cronquist, an epidemiologist with the North Dakota

Department of Health (NDDoH). “Symptoms may include sudden onset of fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, diarrhea, progressive weakness, and dry cough. Other symptoms can include skin ulcers, eye irritation, swollen lymph nodes, chest pain, and difficulty breathing.” Most people diagnosed with tularemia fully recover following proper antibiotic treatment. Four human cases of tularemia have been reported to the NDDoH in 2019. The NDDoH recommends using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), paramenthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone when

outdoors to prevent bites from ticks and insects that can spread tularemia and other diseases. Wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and socks can also help keep ticks and insects away from skin. Since the bacteria that causes tularemia can be aerosolized, the NDDoH warns people against mowing over dead animals. Other ways to prevent tularemia include thoroughly cooking game meat and avoiding ingestion of untreated water. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department advises that people avoid direct contact with sick or dead animals. If disposing of carcasses becomes necessary, gloves should be used and hands should be thoroughly washed. Tularemia occurs spo-

Friday foe Stanley forfeits varsity season Staff Report The Killdeer Cowboys only had a few days to prepare for a football scrimmage at Stanley Aug. 23 when they face the Blue Jays. But, that will not be the only team on the field. The Kenmare Honkers will be joining Stanley and Killdeer in the jamboree-style scrimmage Friday evening. One big thing which has changed is that Stanley has announced it will forfeit all

varsity games this season and instead play just a junior varsity schedule. For the Blue Jays, it was a lack of numbers which forced the school’s athletic director, Brooks Stafslien, to make a public announcement Thursday (Aug. 15). “Due to a lack of participation we are not able to sustain consistent numbers large enough to compete at the varsity level. “This decision was not taken

lightly but we feel at this time is the most appropriate decision to make for our athletes. We will be working diligently this season to compete at the highest level of our ability in order to pave the way for future football players to compete at the highest levels of varsity competition. “That being said, Stanley Public Schools is announcing a forfeiture of all varsity football games for the 2019 season,” Stafslien said.

According to the Killdeer athletic director, Brock Pittsley, that change for the Blue Jays will not impact Friday’s scrimmage. “We still are planning to go up there for the scrimmage, he stressed. “We are going to play approximately 15 to 20 plays offensively against each team. It is just a preseason scrimmage. It won’t count at all against our record.” The Cowboys have approximately 22 players out for the

team this year, the athletic director said. For the Cowboys, it will be a chance to prepare for for rival Hazen, which will come to Killdeer Aug. 30 for a 7 p.m. contest. The Bison along with the Beulah Miners have moved up to the AA division, while Killdeer will gain new A rivals in New Salem, Shiloh Christian and Richardton/Taylor from the 9-Man level.

Football is Elementary Grid jamboree gives young Cowboys chance to show what they can do

It was overcast. It was cool. It was perfect weather for some Killdeer football at an elementary jamboree held Saturday at the New England football field.

Dakota Datebook: Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic Explorer written by Merry Helm August 26, 2019 — A legendary Arctic explorer died on this date in 1962. He was Vilhjalmur Stefansson, born in 1879 to Icelandic immigrants in Manitoba. When he was two, the family moved to the Icelandic community of Mountain, in northeastern North Dakota, where Vilhjalmur remainder of his younger years. Stefansson is said to have been a rugged boy who loved the outdoors and who only had occasional access to schooling. His father died when Vilhjalmur was just a boy, and to ease his mother’s hardship, he moved in with his sister and helped a brother with his cattle and horses. The early Icelandic settlers have become recognized for their strong quest for higher education, especially in the field of law. Stefansson enrolled at UND in 1898, where he shared a small drafty house with another Icelander, Gudmundur Grimson, who later gained national recognition while investigating the death of a North Dakota boy in a Florida work camp. Three years later, Stefansson was forced to leave UND for allegedly inciting a student protest. He transferred to the University of Iowa, and upon receiving his degree, he was offered free tuition at Harvard Divinity School to become a Unitarian minister. Stefannson soon lost interest in theology, however. He was more interested in learning about other cultures, and in 1906 he joined the AngloAmerican Polar Expedition. He spent the next two years in the Arctic, spending the winter months with the native Inuit of Tuktoyyaktut. In an early example of his independence, he failed, at times, to stay in contact with his colleagues. Upon returning in 1908, Stefansson immediately went to New York’s American Museum of Natural History to ask for funding to conduct a second expedition. With some financial help from the Canadian government, the Stefansson Anderson Expedition set out for northern Alaska to continue the study of the native cultures. Stefansson became particularly interested in a remote group of primitive Inuits during the next four years. The tribe had strong Caucasian features, and it was speculated they descended from Vikings. Of one experience during this expedition, Stefansson wrote, “...the group was short

of three things: ammunition, which we all knew was a necessity, and tea and tobacco, which the Eskimos believed were necessities. When we reached the mouth of the Horton on our way back to camp, we divided our party in two (and our) troubles began. It took us thirteen days to get to camp. We were delayed by blizzards, and found the hunting poor along the way. There was not enough food for the six of us,” he went on. “We ate what we could, including the tongue of a beached bowhead whale. Four years dead, the carcass would have been hidden in the snow except that foxes had been digging into it... The pieces we ate were more like rubber than flesh.” The Stefansson Anderson Expedition concluded four years later, and arrangements were immediately made for another – the Canadian Arctic Expeditions – which took place from 1913 to 1918. Stefansson’s findings were now being published in scientific journals and literary digests, and he also published a book titled, “My Life with the Eskimo.” Stefansson’s success unfortunately became laced with controversy, but that’s a story for another time… Fingal Enger written by Merry Helm August 27, 2019 — It was during harvesting in 1913 that Fingal Enger was caught in a downpour. He wouldn’t go inside until he was certain that all the wagons were in and every horse properly tended, and he ended up catching pneumonia. It was a hard thing for Enger to be slowed down by illness – the 6’ 4” farmer was legendary for his size and strength and had always done the work of two men. Enger was born in Norway in 1846. Early in 1872, he left Fargo with two other men to find land in the Goose River area. According to historian Erling Rolfsrud, each man carried an axe, a gun and a knapsack. By the time they chose homestead sites, they were out of food and were lucky to share fox stew with a hermit known as “Gamle Erick,” or Old Eric. The men took turns helping each other build their 16’ x 16’ log houses, with Enger’s being the first settler’s house built in Steele County. They used no nails. Instead, they used wooden pegs and had roofs made of bark covered with sod. Once they were finished, Enger knew he could make more money in town, so he

hired a neighbor to break his land and headed back to earn enough to buy farm equipment and more land. In Fargo, Enger cut firewood in what is now Oak Grove Park. He rarely tired, starting early in the morning and chopping into the night by firelight. When loading river steamers, he would sling bags of wheat or flour over each shoulder when others could handle only one. Within three years, Fingal found the “right girl,” Gjertrud Nyhus, but the two had to wait for a minister to pass through before they could marry. Rolfsrud writes that when the day finally arrived, the couple almost missed it, because a cow got out, and Fingal had to find her and then repair the fence. The service was nearly over by the time Fingal and Gjertrud walked the five miles to the church... Fingal was married in his overalls. By all accounts, Enger was a religious and very generous man. Education was important to the Engers; they had nine children – eight boys and one girl – and Enger wanted them to be able to speak English while still retaining their Norwegian heritage. When a college-educated man filed a claim nearby, Enger talked him into teaching school in Enger’s home, then got the neighbors together and built the young schoolteacher a house. Enger also helped start Oak Grove Seminary in Fargo, helped establish Augsburg College in Minneapolis and was on the executive board for the Grand Forks Deaconess Hospital. He helped many people with loans and gifts, and he was legendary for his kindness to animals. He bought the first threshing machine in the area, was twice elected to the state senate, invested in grain elevators and was the proud owner of a Percheron stallion from France. By the time Enger lay dying of pneumonia, he was the largest single landowner in the state, with 73 quarters. He called for his attorney and representatives of the schools and hospital he had helped, and they arrived on this date in 1913. Fingal asked them

to put in writing how many thousands of dollars he had promised them, so he could sign. The men left the room to draw up the papers, but Fingal died a few minutes later. Gjertrud died 3 months later. The Steele County Historical Society has gathered the remains of Engers’ log house, along with its additions, and rebuilt it next to the County Museum in Hope. It’s definitely a worthwhile tour. Chase Lake National Wildlife Refugee written by Merry Helm August 28, 2019 — Theodore Roosevelt established the Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge on this date in 1908. The refuge encompasses 4,385 acres northwest of Medina and is one of state’s largest surviving blocks of native prairie. As a wilderness area, no motor vehicles and no roads are allowed, leaving the area almost identical to presettlement days. The refuge is home to at least 230 bird species (some of them rare), 35 species of butterflies and untold numbers of wildflowers. Chase Lake has also been home to the largest nesting colony of American white pelicans on the continent – approximately half the North American population. This June, however, scientists were baffled when approximately 29,000 pelicans disappeared from the refuge in a matter of days. Experts have no concrete reason for why the birds suddenly abandoned their eggs and hatchlings… no indication of disease or undue disturbances of nesting habitat. Some theorize the cold, wet spring altered the pelicans’ food supply, and others believe this may be a “natural population correction.” They are optimistic that the birds will return next spring. Judge Davies Integrates Southern Schools, Part 1 written by Merry Helm August 29, 2019 — On this day in 1957, a North Dakota judge made a decision that marked a milestone in the civil rights movement. Ronald Davies was born in 1904, and his early education took place in Crookston, MN, Fargo, and Grand Forks. He was the son of a newspaper-

man, and two of his uncles had newspapers, too. “I don’t quite know how I escaped the smell of printer’s ink,” he later said, “but I told my father and my uncles almost from the start that I wanted to be a lawyer.” Davies went to UND, paying his way by selling newspaper subscriptions. He was athletic and sports-minded, but because he was on the small side – 5’ 1” – coaches didn’t take him seriously. Showing the determination and tenacity for which he would become known, Davies built up his legs and stamina by plodding through deep snow – and won a varsity letter as a sprinter. Davies graduated in 1927, earned his law degree from Georgetown University, and then hung out his shingle in Grand Forks. “I was in general practice,” he later said. “Criminal, civil, probate – anything any misguided client would retain a young lawyer for. It was tough going. So in 1932, I ran for municipal judge and was elected. You see, I didn’t like to get out of the habit of eating.” He was only 28 years old when he ascended to the bench, and he was appointed to the North Dakota State Board of Pardons eight years later. World War II interrupted his career in 1942; he was discharged in 1946 as a Lieutenant Colonel. Davies went back to private practice, and then, in June 1955, President Eisenhower appointed him United States District Court Judge for North Dakota. Two years later, on August 26, 1957, Davies was asked to temporarily fill a vacant seat in Arkansas’s Eastern District. He wasn’t aware that he was walking into a minefield. The Deep South was struggling with desegregation, as it had for many decades. Arkansas was considered the most progressive of the

southern states, and it was in Little Rock that the first integration of a secondary school was about to happen. Nine black students had made the courageous decision to attend Central High School in the “Plan of School Integration.” When Davies arrived, he was immediately given a case called Aaron vs. Cooper in which the “Mother’s League of Central High School” had won a temporary injunction to block the school’s integration, charging that it “could lead to violence.” Davies was there not only to interpret the law, but also to see to it that it was carried out. Brown vs. the Board of Education was the historic case in which school integration was slated to take place “with all deliberate speed.” Davies believed in “less deliberation and more speed,” and four days later – on this date in 1957 – he nullified the injunction and ordered Central High School to integrate the following week. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had no intention of letting that happen. Claiming he wanted to avoid bloodshed, Faubus called up 100 armed National Guardsmen to surround the school when the young African Americans arrived. The Guards barred their entry, and a mob of 400 white extremists surrounded the teenagers with threats of lynching. The students were forced to leave. Faubus’s defiance of Judge Davies’ court order was the first major test of Brown v. Board of Education. Tune in tomorrow to learn what happened next. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

underfunded. I am saying that it is so underfunded that it is likely to fail. Unfortunately, the whole focus for both the legislative and executive branches has been reducing the cost of incarceration. It’s supposed to be a money-saver but it won’t look like a money-saver if we have to make a heavy investment upfront. But that’s what

it will take. As a former state budget director, I can tell you that we are really looking at a costly change in the style of casework involving supervision and rehabilitation programs. We can’t do it on a ratio of one parole and probation officer 50 convicts. The idea is to help these prisoners find jobs and

SOUTHWEST JUDICIAL DISTRICT IN THE MATTER OF THE CHANGE OF NAME OF NINA MARIE KOLLING TO NINA MARIE WOLFINGER NOTICE OF PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME 1.NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the undersigned Nina Marie Kolling, has filed a Petition with the Clerk of District Court in and for Stark County, North Dakota, requesting that her legal name be changed to Nina Marie Wolfinger.

2.YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held upon said Petition on the 28th day of August, 2019, at the hour of 2:45 o’clock p.m. in the Courtroom in the Courthouse in the City of Dickinson, Stark County, North Dakota. DATED this 19th day of August, 2019. KEOGH LAW OFFICE Attorney for Petitioner Street and Post Office Address: 141 3rd St. West; P.O. Box 1202 Dickinson, ND 58602-1202 Ph.: 701-483-9146 & Fax: 701483-9147

Each prisoner will have many problems peculiar to his/her own situation so counseling and assistance will have to be tailor made. Rep. Karla Rose Hanson of Fargo is hoping that networking with other agencies and organizations with related missions may relieve some of the pressure. Even if that increases the resources,

the ultimate responsibility for success or failure will be with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. If we get the money and resources, the program could be a boon for convicts willing to change their lives. The attorney general touched on rehabilitation when he noted that we needed to look beyond just cost-saving and see that “it’s the right thing to do for people who are addicted.” Unfortunately, we don’t always do the right thing.
