New Ag teacher eager to help his students
Students approach year with some apprehension and excitement

Jackson Miller scurried around his home Wednesday morning, his little face filled with excitement. This was a big day for the 5-year-old. He was going to school. “He was real antsy, that’s for sure,” said Jackson’s mother, Heather, as she walked him into the school for the first time. Miller reported to kindergarten, a smile stretching across his face. He was one of 459 students registered for the first day of classes at Killdeer Public School. He woke up at 6 a.m. by himself. He jumped the in the shower and got dressed, an eagerness in his step and a sparkle in his eye. His wore his new clothes with pride. He carried has backpack with confidence.

David Leier stretched back in his office chair at Killdeer High School and pondered what he will offer to his students. He rubbed his chin and smiled and said his goal was simple – “give them the skills necessary to be successful in real life.” That’s what one of his high school teachers did for him a few years ago in Napoleon, N.D. The youthful 22-yearold Leier will is getting that chance after taking the job as Agriculture instructor at the school. He replaced longtime Ag teacher Larry Lundberg, who retired last year. Teaching at Killdeer will be his first job. He will also serve as the adviser for the Killdeer Future Farmers of America chapter. Although he’s the only new teacher on staff this year, Leier said he feels comfortable in his role with the team. The staff, he said, has made him feel welcome and shown him respect. He added that the staff is a “nice community” that had “more of a family setting than a normal school setting.” “I’m excited. I want to have an impact on the Please see Ag

DC Herald under new leadership Longtime journalist Bryan Gallegos has been hired as the new publisher of the Dunn County Herald, it was announced Tuesday. Gallegos replaces Stacy Swenson, who stepped down after three years at the Herald to take a position with the Southern Hills Publishing in Custer, S.D. Her last day will be Tuesday. “I’m really excited to be a part of the Dunn County Herald team,” Gallegos said. “I will be stepping into some big shoes to
Longtime publisher moving to South Dakota fill, but I’m eager for the challenge.” Gallegos, 52, has served as a freelance writer and photographer for the Herald since April. He lives in Dickinson with his wife of 31 years, Paula. He moved to Dickinson from Colorado in 2015 when he took a job with Marathon Oil Company. Gallegos has 30 years of experience in community journalism
in Colorado and Nebraska. He has won several writing awards from the Colorado Press Association, the Colorado Associated Press and Cox Newspapers for sports, feature and hard-news writing. In 2006, he was honored in the Best Series category for stories he wrote on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Gulfport, Miss. He accompanied a group of
Regis University employees who volunteered to help the recovery and rebuilding effort in Gulfport. He held management positions for several newspapers, including general manager/editor for the Citizen Telegram in Rifle, Colo., as well as sports editor for the Conejos County Citizen in La Jara, Colo., and The Star-Herald in Scottsbluff, Neb. “This is going to be fun,” Gal-
legos said. “I see some good things continuing.” Swenson, who will have to give up her position on the North Dakota Press Association’s Board of Directors, said it was a difficult decision to step down as publisher. However, the opportunity in South Dakota was simply too good to pass up. “I will fondly remember my time living in Killdeer. I made good friends and enjoyed meeting new people in this town, Swenson said.

DUNN COUNTY HERALD
Bridging cultures and creative journeys By Jennifer Strange For the DC Herald
Life for white North Dakotans and Native Americans can seem a world apart. Yet, in Dunn County and across the country, folks of all ancestral backgrounds share geography, resources and a common urge to provide security and wellness for future generations. Thanks to technology and social media, people on both sides of an American Indian reservation border also share news, information and opportunities to communicate. Communication is the focus of the Dunn County Writers’ (DCW) “Native Americans & The Media Arts” program, to be held Sept. 17-18 at the High Plains Cultural Center in Killdeer. has Native American leaders Braa-in film, scholarship, music, literature and journalism/ esotanew media will present sher-during Saturday’s series duat-of events.

singer-songwriter Jaese Lecuyer (Algonquin-Metis), award-winning author Susan Power (Yanktonai Dakota) and Pulitzer Prize Finalist Mark Trahant (Shoshone-Bannock). The program is free, open to the public and includes a complimentary appetizer buffet with punch. A Sept. 18 workshop with Power is open to 20 registered participants. Registration is $10 and includes breakfast and lunch. (See sidebar and links for full itinerary and to register for workshop.) “This is an opportunity for people of all cultures to come together in Dunn County to increase understanding, to renew or form relationships, and to maybe gain a new respect for each other’s culture,” said DCW Board President Colette “Koko” Gjermundson of Marshall, N.D. The creative history of American Indians—past, present and future—forms the bedrock of the continent’s cultural landscape. “The Native story is America’s story,” said Trahant. “You cannot know where this country is going unless you have an idea about the larger nar-
rative.” Trahant will moderate a panel discussion and read from his own work on Sept. 17. He is the former president of the Native American Journalists Association, has written two books and is the current Charles R. Johnson Endowed Professor of Journalism at the University of North Dakota. As a child, Trahant wrote his first newspaper in crayon and went on to work for a tribal newspaper as a teenager. He’s now encouraged by the hundreds of Native American journalists in print, broadcast and on-line media throughout North America. He hopes the audience will recognize themselves—Native or nonNative—in the words and tales offered by the weekend’s lineup. “When we share stories we are changed,” said Trahant. “We understand perspective, history and what makes this journey familiar to all of us.” Cultural bridge-building is not an “either/or” question, Trahant said. Both perspectives—Native and non-Native—are equally
important for enriching families and communities. Many Dunn County residents yearn to strengthen their personal connections with neighboring Three Affiliated Tribes/MandanHidatsa-Arikara (MHA) Nation. “It feels like I have some stake in Fort Berthold Reservation,” said Koko Gjermundson, who gained cousins of MHA affiliation through marriage. “I think
we’re proud to share geography and communities, yet the cultural differences can be so diverse that I’m not sure we understand each other. I think all of us would like to know more than we do.” Unraveling a few strands of this “tangled web” may be one beneficial result of the Native Americans & The Media Arts weekend. “I hope this program helps me and the audience

Christmas came early for the Killdeer Area Ambulance Service, to the tune of $20,100 in donations from two energy industry companies. Marathon Oil Company donated $15,000 while XTO Energy gave $5,100. “Both these investments are huge investments in the community,” said Ann Hafner, paramedic manager for the ambulance service. Marathon’s donation will be used to replace some office furniture and in the general operations budget. “Marathon has been very supportive in just keeping us running,” Hafner said, noting that Marathon has become the ambulance’s largest corporate sponsor. In the past four years, Marathon has donated more than $75,000 to the ambulance service, she said. The XTO Energy grant will be used for community training. The ambulance service purchased CPR dummies, AED training equipment, and for training tuition for an Emergency Medical Technician. The ambulance service has provided CPR training for more than 100 individpor- uals, said Hafner.

Rest of the Story
On August 8th, Shillman Journalism Fellow Daniel Greenfield (an expert on radical Islam) established the conclusive link between Black Lives Matter and ISIS jihadists. The tie? The Spring, 2000, killing of Fulton County, Georgia, Sheriff’s Deputy Ricky Kinchen and wounding of his partner Aldranon English. The deputies were serving a lawful, court warrant in downtown Atlanta at a store owned by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. You might remember this thug from the 1960’s radical alliance between him and the Black Panther party as their Minister of Justice. Or, his famous quotes, “violence is as American as cherry pie…if America don’t come around, we’re gonna burn it down.” Of

Dunn County State’s Attorney
course, this clown was known as H. Rap Brown at the time. Belying the myth that ISIS thugs are “radicalized” by the US military’s attacks on their families in the Middle East, Brown/ Amin, converted to Islam in prison where he was sent for an armed robbery shootout at a New York bar back in 1971. Taking a page from the BLM handbook (before it was ever printed), Brown/Amin said,
“Black folks built America, and if America don’t come around, we’re going to burn America down.” Who knew, right? No one except black folks built this great country. The same racist diatribe we’re hearing from BLM right now. In March, 2000, in Atlanta, Georgia, Brown/ Amin was an Imam (Muslim religious leader) who pontificated to be the head of the local mosque and a major player in the American National Ummah. You know…those non-violent, moderate Muslims we hear so much about. As Greenfield reports, “He was no less of a terrorist for it. Al-Amin opened fire with a rifle on the two law enforcement officers… Deputy Kinchen was shot and fell. Al-Amin ran out
of bullets, took a handgun from his black Mercedes, pointed it at the fallen officer as he lay dying and shot him between the legs three times.” The typical, ritual genital mutilation reported in these lone wolf ambushes. Oh, and these public defenders (attorneys who represent these thugs) worked hard to “rig the jury, removing anyone who disliked the violent racist Black Panthers hate group that Al-Amin, in his former life as H Rap Brown, had been associated with. They ended up with a jury of six black men, three black women, two white women and one Hispanic woman.” Shades of OJ Simpson, right? Not this time. Guilty…life without parole as the thug’s second “wife” glowered at the jury. Greenfield continues, “Al-Amin has become a martyr among black nationalists, including among the latest incarnation of the racist movement, Black Lives Matter. The recently released Black Lives Matter policy agenda calls for freeing a number of cop killers… Al-Amin is one of BLM’s heroes…Black lives don’t matter to BLM. Black Na-
tionalist terrorism does. The racist hate group describes the murderers of black and white police officers as ‘political prisoners’. It demands the removal of Assata Shakur (another Black Panther killer in exile), a particular icon of BLM, from ‘international terrorist lists’ and an end to the bounty for the capture of the fugitive who helped murder New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster.” Greenfield’s excellent documentation of the link between BLM, the Black Panthers (both old and new) and ISIS just goes on and on. And, recall that the officer killed by Brown aka Shakur was investigating a pedophile that had molested a little girl for years in that neighborhood. Suffice it to say that BLM and ISIS are one as far as the attacks on police go in this country, “If the life of Officer James Green doesn’t matter to Black Lives Matter, perhaps the life of that little girl should. But it clearly doesn’t.” Greenfield quotes, then Governor, Ronald Reagan who, unlike our current national leaders, got it, “To the violent and the criminal our efforts to halt this
kind of lawlessness will be condemned as acts of oppression. Let them call it what they will. I’m unable to hear the whimper of the criminal above the cry of the victim and the weeping of his widow and children.” Greenfield closes, “Black Lives Matter does not care about the lives of black people or of anyone else. It is a terrorist organization that seeks power through terror. It plays the victim as cover for its abuses… We must never forget that this is what BLM supports. We must never forget that these are their heroes and their role models. We must never forget that the murder of police officers associated with BLM campaigns is not an accident, but a design.” Still disagree, haters? Did I mention that both deputies Kinchen and English were African-American? At the end of the day, as Greenfield sums up, “Black police officer lives don’t matter” to BLM. And, when Hillary Clinton courts BLM support and, rejects seeking the National Fraternal Order of Police’s endorsement, what is that all about?

Hello, One more county fair and one more story. This weekend it was the Harding County Fair in Camp Crook. It still is one of the best fairs in the country. And unlike the state fairs, you can just let the kids roam free. Bicycles roam the streets and kids can walk in and out of the bar and charge a can of pop to their dad or mother. Nobody drives over 10 mph and everyone watches out for everyone’s kids. They show calves that vary from 200 pounds to 1200 lbs. The sheep vary in size from 60 pounds to 160. There were two hogs. One was a giant boar. The other one was different. Rabbits, chickens, and goats. And every kid had a smile at the premium sale. Rumor has it that at the Corner Bar, on Friday night, there was a big fat cowboy with a bad back that rocked the dance floor until one in the morning. I wouldn’t dare say, but I know my back was in bad shape on Saturday morning! Don’t tell Shirley. She retired early. Each day when the fair winds down, kids jump on bikes and head for the bridge over the Little Missouri just out of town. I mean this is like a Norman
Rockwell painting. A rope hanging from the bridge and kids squealing and bailing into the river. A few years ago we went fishing there. Fishing is using the term loosely. We had three rods. A “Barbie Doll” pink, a “Tigger” orange, and a wore out blue one. Between the three rods we had one hook. Since Gage was doing the casting, we soon decided that one hook was too many and removed it. It was more of a rock skipping, moss gathering, peanut butter sandwich kind of day than actually fishing. Now you have to remember that Gage was less than two, and Gracy was five. Brave little ranch kids. But after a couple hours I went off into the willows. While I was there a bear attacked me! Shirley and the kids could hear me screaming and see the willows thrashing around. Oh, it was an epic struggle. Finally, the bear got the best of me and there was complete silence. The kids kept hollering for their Grandpa. Meantime, I had escaped from the bear and began to crawl around behind them on my belly. Now, trust me, even on my belly I still stick up a fair bit. But I did get around them.
As I peeked out of the tall grass, Gracy was carrying a five foot long piece of driftwood. Gage was carrying a big rock. They were edging closer and closer to the willows where the bear had devoured their Grandpa. Suddenly I let out a roar and charged from the willows. Gracy dropped her club, and with eyes larger than her head, raced for Grandma. Gage tried to move, but was stuck between gears and could only scream. His rock proved a worthless weapon against a bear attack as he dropped it on his foot. I was rolling on the ground with laughter. Till Grandma picked up that five foot piece of driftwood and whacked that bear across the back. Note to self. Grandma is not scared of bears. Reminds me of a story Grandpa Jack used to tell. This guy came across this old mountain man sitting outside his cabin. Inside was a heck of a ruckus going on. He asked what was happening. The mountain man said a bear was in the cabin fighting his wife. And he had never seen a fight that he cared less about the outcome! Later, Dean
SKOL!: The Vikings Vine The Minnesota Vikings traveled to Seattle to face off against the Seahawks on Thursday, the second week of the preseason. The teams battled twice last season, with Seattle winning both meetings, including a 10-9 victory in the wildcard round of the playoffs. With revenge on their minds, the Vikings were able to come away with the victory. Even though it was a preseason game, the game was wellfought and had plenty of drama. Teddy Bridgewater, who was seen on the sidelines in full pads but wearing a hat instead of a helmet, was surprisingly inactive for the day. In a brief interview during the game, Teddy admitted there were no injury concerns, but was unable to say why he didn’t play. After the game, head coach Mike Zimmer met with the media but seemed agitated to be answering questions about his franchise quarterback. When he was asked if Teddy was sat because of disciplinary reasons, Zimmer said: “You think there’s disciplinary action with Teddy Bridgewater? He’s like the nicest kid in the history of life.” Playing without Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson, the Vikings’ offense was anemic. The offensive line did a good job in pass protection, as they only gave up one sack to

an aggressive Seattle defense. The run blocking was suspect for the second straight week, however, as the Vikings were only able to rush for 70 yards on 26 carries (2.7 yards per carry). The Vikings’ top two running backs, Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata, combined for only 17 yards on 12 carries (1.4 ypc). The Vikings fared better on defense, particularly the pass rush, as they only allowed 140 yards through the air while also corralling Seattle’s quarterbacks six times. Unfortunately, the Vikings were unable to stop the Seahawks’ rushing attack, giving up 187 yards on 31 carries (6.0 ypc). With Thomas Rawls out because of injury, the Seahawks’ top two running backs totaled 141 yards on 20 carries (7.0 ypc). The player of the game was Marcus Sherels. Marcus is a steady presence on special teams, but on Friday he had an opportunity to showcase his playmaking abilities on defense. With the game tied in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, Sherels was able to intercept a Trevone
Boykin pass and return it for a touchdown. The picksix sealed the game and prevented overtime, which was surely appreciated by every player and coach on the field. Adam Thielen was also considered here, as he led the Vikings in receptions and yards. The player who needs the most improvement was Laquon Treadwell. LT was a non-factor in the passing game, unable to catch a single pass despite being second on the team with four targets. Even though he is a rookie, he will need to show more consistency before he is considered ready to contribute during the regular season. Hopefully Friday’s game was just an abnormality for Treadwell. The Vikings will finally play in their new stadium on Sunday, as they take on the San Diego Chargers for week three of the preseason. Besides the new stadium, I will be paying attention to the Vikings’ run defense. Through two weeks of the preseason, the Vikings rank 28th in the NFL, allowing 4.7 yards per carry. That figure will have to go way down if the Vikings’ defense wants to be considered elite.

Welcome to the Jihad, Epilogue
By Pat Merrimann For the DC Herald
Deception, infiltration, conflict, consolidation and open warfare. If ISIS is successful, the host country then becomes part of radical Islam and Shariah is imposed to export on to the next victim. Can it happen here? I don’t think so. This country was founded by people fleeing religious persecution and our constitution is NOT a suicide pact. In my opinion, the real reason for the success of this propaganda machine is simply public apathy. It’s always someone else who is being affected, so, until my ox is being gored… But, the problem is that with the constant initiatives to undermine the police, excuse aberrant behavior and refuse to use military force, we are hamstringing ourselves and, it is inevitable that public backlash and vigilantism will erupt when enough is enough. Nature abhors a vacuum and, by definition, a minority population does not have the numbers to win such a backlash. So, I sincerely hope that cooler heads prevail in time. To defeat ISIS, it starts

at the polls. Until we elect leaders who understand this danger, we are spinning our wheels. Unfortunately, as the Washington Post hit the stands this past Tuesday, they reported that another 14,900 (50% more) emails/documents were NOT disclosed by Hillary Clinton or her attorneys this past year. And, the hits just keep on coming with this presidential candidate who seems to have far too cozy a relationship with conservative Islam. The State Department wants these new emails and the federal judge supervising this mess has said to release them now instead of waiting until after the election. Hillary’s response? Delay the release of these documents for over two years! Still, weeks later, after FBI Director James B. Comey dubbed Clinton as “extremely careless” no one really knows what happened. And, these new 14,900 only came off the first (of eight) discs that the FBI delivered to the State Department. There will be more to come. Ask Sen. Ron Johnson (chair of the Homeland Security panel) or Rep. Lamar Smith,
who chairs another House Committee who issued 3 subpoenas to cough up the documents by September 9th—months after Hillary’s IT providers still refused to comply. Rep. Smith summarized the cover-up, “Companies providing services to Secretary Hillary Clinton’s private email account and server are not above the law!” I guess we’ll have to wait and see. And, the Clinton Foundation’s role in this mess? Well, they’ve decided to “restrict foreign, corporate donations” but, only if Hillary wins in November. Say what? The British press gets it! As reported by the UK Mail, questions now swarm about Hillary’s top aid Huma Abedin (co-chair of her campaign). Recall that she is the wife of disgraced ex-Rep./gay rights activist Anthony Weiner (D-NY) who resigned over his sexting scandal in 2011. Inquiring minds would like to know how a Saudi (born in the US) came out of nowhere to have daily access to a Secretary of State and presidential candidate. UK Mail reporter Geoff Earle reports that people are starting to ask questions, “[Abedin]
has a very troubling past… She comes out of nowhere. She seems to have an enormous amount of cash, even prior to the time that she goes to work for Hillary…So we have to ask: Do we have a Saudi spy in our midst? Do we have a terrorist agent?” Earle continues, “now that Islamic terrorism is going to be front and center, there’s going to be a new focus on whether this administration, the administration of Hillary Clinton at State was permeated at the highest levels by Saudi intelligence and others who are not loyal Americans.” Folks, it is blatantly illegal for a foreign national/ government to contribute money to an American political campaign, particularly, to a presidential war chest. The worst kind of pay for play. And, that seems to be the main reason why Clinton will not cooperate with this private email scandal. Accusations fly that it was set up to protect the machination of the Clinton Foundation. And, if true, that it’s not charity but, rather, a means to launder foreign money as “charitable donations” and, then gain access to both Clin-
ton and whatever office she holds at the time. 150 phone calls from the foundation to Hillary’s Chief of Staff to set up meetings with these donors? Really? It’s becoming too well documented! Washington Post reporters Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger nailed it, “The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration.” Those countries included Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman and other Islamic malcontents. Donations led to meetings and then concessions got made. Coincidence? Maybe, but, it still stinks! And, then, having a top advisor who, according to former Asst. US Attorney Andrew McCarthy, is the daughter of the alleged front man for the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda? YIKES! Folks, this cozy relationship stinks to high heaven. And, we aren’t talking about chump change either. The Post reports that, “the
[Clinton] Foundation… has raised nearly $2 billion since its creation in 2001.” Uh…that’s billion with a “B”! And, in an even more “Oops” moment, the Washington Post reports that the US Army has been excoriated by Hillary’s minions for showing her face on a training slide at Ft. Leonard Wood as an insider threat to national operational security. Army spokesman, Maj. Thomas Campbell, was quick to go into damage control mode, “This particular presentation had not been reviewed or approved by the unit’s leadership, and does not reflect the position of the Army. The training presentation has since been removed.” As the Post notes, “The decision by the Army to prohibit that part of the presentation is noteworthy, given that FBI Director James Comey excoriated Mrs. Clinton’s handling of government documents on national television July 5th.” So, at the end of the day, will ISIS continue its inevitable march across the United States? The November elections, like the British exit from the EU, will tell the tale.

Tradition-rich Cowboys looking to reload
The sweltering sun beat down on the Killdeer High School football players as they prepared for the upcoming season. Sweat ran down their faces under their black helmets. Their black jerseys, drenched in perspiration, clung to their bodies like Saran wrap. It was nearly 100 degrees, and probably hotter than that on the manicured football field at Killdeer High School. Across the way, coaches barked orders – some louder than others – on execution and fundamentals. To most, the situation would be uncomfortable, even unbearable. But not to these boys. They’re taking the dog days of summer in stride because it’s what they do. Some even broke a smile. And that brings a smile to the face of Killdeer head coach Lou Dobitz, who is entering his eighth year with the Cowboys. “In practice, they’re working hard,” said Dobitz, as he watched his team do pre-practice
stretching exercises. Each player took each exercise serious. There was no jocularity or small talk. They were all business. Their goal is to do execute every aspect of the game in every game and in practice. That’s just what they do. And it has worked for the Cowboys, who opened the season Thursday against Dickinson Trinity High School at Dickinson State University. Killdeer has made it to the Class A state championship game the past two seasons, falling short on both occasions to Park River-Fordville-Lankin. The Cowboys are rich in tradition, having won the region title two of the past four three years and a dozen times since 1993. They also won the state title in 1995. But all that hardware is good for the scrapbooks, but not for the boys on the field. “Every year is a new year,” Dobitz said. And like every year, and every other high school football team, the Cowboys will be reload-
ing, and in some cases, rebuilding. Killdeer lost four all-state players from last year, But Dobitz likes what he has coming back. “We have a good group of guys,” he said. Killdeer returns 20 lettermen and 11 starters – six on offense and five on defense – from last year’s squad that went 9-2. One of the strengths could be on the front line. The Cowboys return senior starters Rope Smith, Ty Truchan, Anthony Holding Eagle and junior Liam McFadden, who saw extensive action in the trenches last year. The line was one of the reasons the Cowboys averaged 40 points per game last year, and amassed nearly 4,000 yards in total offense (2,875 rushing, 942 passing). But the other variable for those gaudy numbers is the backfield, and the cupboard is bare. Killdeer will have a new quarterback, running back and fullback. Junior Alex Sadowsky and senior Hoyt Zander

will split time at quarterback. Both will be playing the position for the first time. When not under center, Sadowsky will be featured at tight end and Zander will run plays at receiver and running back. As for running back, senior Dillan Jepson will get a fair share of carries, although he will miss the first game due to an ankle injury suffered during a scrimmage with Dick-
inson High School and Dickinson Trinity High School. Junior Cole Dukart and sophomore Riley Reiss will also get some carries. Tom Kluver will see time at fullback. The Cowboys will have to fill some spots at linebacker, after having lost three of the four starters from last year. Sadowsky, Jepson and junior Garrett LeMieux will try to fill the void. Killdeer should be stout
in the secondary, with returning starters Dukart, Reiss and Hoyt Zander leading the way. Like any team, depth could play a major role in the Cowboys’ success. Staying healthy, Dobitz said, will be a key factor. “We have to develop depth early in the season,” he said. “We have guys who have been starters mixed in with some new guys.”
‘Team’ has special meaning for boys cross country team It took Nathan Horgeshimer a little longer to pass out uniforms for the boys cross country team this year at Killdeer High School. In fact, it took twice as long. Why? He has twice as many boys out for the team. And that has junior Dakota Bowen, one of the four runners back from last year, grinning from ear to ear. “We’re ready. We’re excited. We have a full team,” Bowen said, as the boys prepared for the season-opening Killdeer Relays on Thursday at the Medicine Hole Golf Course. Horgeshimer said this is the first time in his six years as the school’s head cross country coach that he’s had enough athletes on the squad to score as a team. Teams are required to have at least five runners on the squad to score as a team. The coach said an influx of junior high interest and a couple high school move-ins helped the boost the numbers of runners on the team to nine. “This is the biggest boys team Killdeer has fielded in many, many years,” said Horgeshimer. “They’re excited for that.” For Colby Dukart, the
The Killdeer High School boys cross country team has nine runners this season. Those pictured, back row from left are: Stephen Westarp, Dakota Bowen, Orion Bowen, and Garrett Calkins. Front row, from left are: Kaleb Eberline, Dawson Schneider, and Nathan Sadowsky. Not pictured are: Colby Dukart and Jace Andersen lone senior on the team, it will be the first time in his prep career that he will compete on a team. Dukart and Bowen appear to the top returners from last year, both having placed in the middle of the pack at the state meet. But Horgeshimer is expecting the rest of the squad to contribute as the season wears on. “We’ve got some numbers and have some pretty good looking talent,” Horgeshimer said. “There’s no pressure on
us. We’re just going to keep working to get better and better and surprise some people.” That’s OK with Bowen, who transferred to Killdeer from White Shield High School last year but has been competing in cross country in one form or another since the third grade. “They treat everybody like family here,” he said. “It’s good to be here with people who like to do cross country.”

Team uses summer as stepping stone for success
It was just three years ago that Allison Steffan led Dickinson Trinity High School to a victory over Killdeer on the Cowboys’ home gymnasium. Now Steffan is doing everything she can to help the Cowboys reverse their fortunes. Steffan is the Cowboys’ new head volleyball coach. “I want to make it past that first region round,” said Steffan. The Cowboys have struggled the past couple of years, falling short of making it past that first round of the Region 7 tournament. Last year, Killdeer ended with a 2-10 record and fell to Glen Ullin-Hebron in the opening round of the playoffs. The year before that, the Cowboys were the eighth seed in the tournament and also lost to Glen Ullin-Hebron in the first round. “Last year wasn’t the prettiest of seasons,” said senior Gabi Flaget. “But I’m pretty excited for this season.” The Cowboys open the season Aug. 27 by hosting their own tournament. Steffan likes the talent she has to work with, but has not yet determined the starting squad. But she is expecting big things from her five seniors. Flaget is among a group of five seniors Steffan will be looking to for leadership. The other seniors include: Taycee Butts, Lily McFadden, Maleah Schmeling and Maddie Hill. “You always want the leadership in your seniors,” Steffan said. “They’ve shown a willingness to learn and are working hard. They lead by example.” Indeed. And it started this summer. The seniors arranged work-out schedules and activities for the team, which included meeting for “open-gym” practices and competing

Youth will be served by new volleyball coach
Youth will definitely be served when Allison Steffan leads her Killdeer High School volleyball team onto the court this year. Steffan just turned 20 years old and is the new head volleyball coach at Killdeer. She is one of the youngest head coaches in the state. But that doesn’t bother Steffan, who said her job is to help the girls learn and grow. “I’m really excited to start coaching,” Steffan said. And she is getting an early start. Steffan is a senior at Dickinson State University after having played one season of volleyball for the Blue Hawks. She could’ve played one more season, but instead chose to chase her coaching career. She graduated from Dickinson Trinity High
School in 2014. She was a starter on the volleyball team, and had several matchups with the Cowboys during her career. She led the Titans to the state tournament in 2013. After graduation from Trinity, she enrolled at Dickinson State and played volleyball as a defensive specialist for the Blue Hawks. Although she enjoyed playing on the collegiate level, coaching drew her fancy. “Coaching is something I always wanted to do,” she said. “I’m still getting a handle on this.” With this being her first coaching job, Steffon is quick to utilize the experiences of her own coaching staff, former coaches on the high school and college levels, former teammates as
in a summer league in Hazen. The team also attended a summer camp in South Dakota and a camp put on by the Dickinson State University coaching staff. “We just kind of got
sick of losing,” Flaget said, who has been on the varsity team the past two seasons. They worked on the fundamental skills like serving, hitting, blocking and setting. But they also
they placed fifth in the Class B State Track and Field Championships, following a third-place finish in the West Region. “The girls have been very consistent over the past few years,” said Nathan Horgeshimer, the head cross country coach. That consistency reflects the reason for the Cowboy’s early season ranking. But that’s on paper and meets aren’t won on paper. “We all want to be better than we were last year,” said senior Katelynn Lane. “We’re practicing a lot harder this year. Coach has shown us to push ourselves and each other so we can be better.” The Cowboys have 10 members on the team and will be led by Hansen and Danielle Benz. Both were all-state runners two years but suffered a down season last year, but still placed in the upper part of the pack at state. As an eighth-grader,
Hansen placed 18th at state, and tenth in the regional meet. Last year, she placed 35th at state and 24th at regionals. “I want to try and get back on the podium again this year,” Hansen said. But she was quick to point out that it takes team work to be successful. Corrie Dobitz, a junior who is entering her fifth season on the team, agreed. She added that the unit is cohesive because, “We’re all friends” who want the same success. “We’ll definitely be encouraging each other, hard, during meets and in practice,” Dobitz said, noting that although it’s an individual sport, “we all think of it as a team sport. We’re all running for the team.” The Cowboys again have talent and depth, albeit some is young, Horgeshimer said. In addition to Hansen and
worked on the mental aspect of the game, which they say was a weakness last season. “Our mental toughness was not as strong, but this year our mental toughness is much better,” said
well as the former coaching staff at the school. And she sees the girls gobbling up the information she and her staff is offering. “The girls have put in a lot of effort to get better and to learn what we are teaching,” Steffan said. Despite the small gap in age difference, the team has developed a great respect for its young coach, said senior Taycee Butts, a twoyear starter who also saw significant playing time as a freshman. “When something comes out of her mouth, we take it in because we know she’s trying to help us,” Butts said. “There’s just a focus to learn.”
Butts, a two-year starter who also saw some significant playing time as a freshman. The Cowboys expect the summer work to payoff this season, and they hope it will be a stepping
stone for the program, said Butts. “We came into the season excited that we worked so hard,” Butts said. “We’re building something for the future.”
Killdeer girls open season ranked third in coach’s poll The morning drizzle made things a little dreary outside, but things were pretty sunny for the Killdeer High School girls cross country team as they did stretching exercises inside the school. As the season-opening Killdeer Relays approaches on Thursday at the Medicine Hole Golf Course, Shawnee Hansen and her teammates have a confident glow. They are ranked third in the state Class B in the first coach’s poll of the season. Those are kind words from coaches around the state, and words that are appreciated by the Cowboys. But those are words that reflect the expectations the Cowboys have, from others and from themselves. “I think we have a really good team,” said Hansen. “We some really good runners and some younger ones who can step up.” The Cowboys are coming off a season where

Front row, from left are: Bria Daugherty, Anwyn Robinson, Bailey Smith, Corrie Dobitz, and Jaylynn Hicks. Not pictured are: Trae Murray and Rachel Kisse Benz, Dobitz and Lane will be counted on for some leadership, and there’s “lots of younger ones who have the poten-
tial to be good runners,” he said. The girls will be facing a new twist this year, running a longer distance
than before. This year the distances for the races will be 5 kilometers instead of 4, which is in line with what the boys run.w

Lakota Geiger, 5, even showed his younger brother, Landyn, 3, his locker and what he would put in it. Others, meanwhile, were more interested in the food and drinks offered at the Open House. The Schleppenbach boys, Maxon, Emett and Simon munched on their ketchup-covered hot dogs as they made the rounds at the school with their mom, Holly. While some were making their first steps on their first day, others were taking their first steps on their last day. First day emotions were old hat for Sebastian Gessele. This was his 13th first day. “I’m a senior and I’m ready to be done,” he said with a chuckle. Carrying a plastic bag of books and a hot drink, Gessele reflected on his year at the school and said there’s always something special about the first day. “You get used to coming to school but it’s something you always remember. It’ll be weird not coming back next year,” he said. “It’s also kind of weird being one of the oldest in the school,” he added, again with a chuckle.
