Cowboys make request to stay 11-man

By Bryan Gallegos The Dunn County Herald

Ball is in state’s court to determine Killdeer’s football home

Killdeer school officials chose to opt up to Class A and play 11-man football.

The Board of Education made that recommendation during a special meeting on Monday night.

Gary Wilz, Killdeer’s superintendent, submitted the request to the North

Dakota High School Athletic Association on Tuesday.

“Now it’s in the state’s hands,” Wilz said.

The state reconfigured the classes for football for the next two years. During that time span, Class A will have 32 teams based on

enrollment.

Killdeer has an enrollment ranking of 63, which puts them in the Class B division.

Killdeer has opted up to Class A several times already. And they’ve been very successful, winning a dozen region titles and a

state title. Killdeer reached the state finals the past two seasons.

The Cowboys can move up if a school in Class A agrees to drop down to Class B. The school with the lowest enrollment in Class A would be given first choice

to move.

“We’re pretty confident there are some teams will want to drop down,” Wilz said.

Killdeer officials considered remaining in Class B and play 9-man football based the idea that they would be placed in the

southern region and play against teams they have historical rivalries in other sports.

The state originally proposed to have eight regions with six teams in each.

Killdeer, based on its location, would’ve been placed in the northern reSee 11-man, Page 4

By Bryan Gallegos The Dunn County Herald

The Killdeer Public School Board of Education agreed Monday night to consider a measure to will lead to higher taxes.

Gary Wilz, Killdeer School superintendent, presented a proposal to the board at a special meeting on Monday for a 4.5 percent increase in the mill levy. The increase is needed to limit the differential between expenditures and revenue in the 2016-17 budget.

A special open meeting has been scheduled on Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at the school where the board to discuss the proposal.

If the proposal to raise the mill levy by 2.42 mills to 56 mills, the deficit would be held at $200,000. Wilz said he

‘If push comes to shove and the budget is really tight, we will have to look to trim some areas.’

- Gary Wilz, Killdeer superintendent

was reluctant to ask for a higher increase and said he’s comfortable they can work with that deficit.

The preliminary 2016-17 budget revenue is in the neighborhood of $6.224 million. The district’s estimated expenditure for the next year is in the neighborhood of $6.431 million.

Big line items include the purchase of a new bus, salary increases for teachers and replacement of teacher’s computers, which are seven years old.

Property Tax

Reckless policies threaten the tax relief that North Dakotans truly care about: Property tax relief. North Dakota Democrats led an effort to protect the popular 12% property tax credit during the 2016 special session of the Legislature. Unfortunately it was rejected and subjected the 12% property tax credit to two rounds of senseless, automatic, across the board budget cuts, leaving North Dakota families faced with the prospect of increased property tax bills.

Plumber back to roots, after ‘trying something else’ Dunn Center man doing it the way he learned in dad’s plumbing shop The Dunn County Herald

Greg Gieser has come full circle and he’s excited about it. He opened a plumbing and heating business in earlier this year, making a return to his roots that spanned more than four decades.

“There’s not much that I haven’t seen,” chuckled the 53-year-old Gieser.

“I’ve done just about everything.”

He is the owner of Gieser Plumbing and Heating, LLC, a company he opened in May in Dunn Center.

And he back in the saddle that carries decades-old memories of him working alongside dad in his father’s plumbing shop in Minnesota.

Gieser does all types of plumbing, including construction, remodel, repair and commercial. He also works on furnaces, gas and oil.

Gieser has been at it since he was a curious 11-year-old who jumped at the opportunity to learn

LEVY

the business from the ground up. His first job was sorting fittings and putting things away and cleaning up in the busy shop. He kept the job through high school, working summers and after school.

He learned and excelled.

But at the same time, he began to wonder what else was out there. So the son of a plumber veered in a different direction and decided to go to college.

“I went to try something else,” Gieser said.

He enrolled at St. Cloud State University in 1981.

Six years later Joe College graduated with a degree in Speech Communication and Technology.

But to succeed in his new life, Gieser had to use his skills from his old life to put himself through college. He worked part-time as a plumber. He would go to school for two quarters and then work for the others six months.

During this time, he earned his journeyman’s license - he was a sophomore.

“I had to put myself through college. It was a lot better than flipping burgers,” he said with another chuckle.

After receiving his degree, Gieser was ready to tackle the world. But things didn’t go as he had dreamed. There few jobs and even less offers in his field. And the few that came his way, the salary was well below what he was making as a plumber.

He returned to plumbing full time and never regretted it. He didn’t regret seeking other opportunities in college, but he was glad to be back.

Gieser stayed busy working throughout Minnesota, during the housing and commercial building boom. He earned his Master of Plumber license in 1990.

But things started to slide for Gieser in the mid-2000s. The economy started to falter and work was scarce. He was out of work and frustrated.

A friend told him about work in the oil fields of

North Dakota. He didn’t know anybody in North Dakota, just a contact a friend gave him.

That was five years ago, and he got a job as a roustabout with Trilliant Oil Field Service, which had an office in North Dakota but based out of Casper, Wyo. His work ethic that was developed though his

Those expenditure items account for $160,000, Wilz said.

The current mill levy is 53.58 mills and the proposed 4.5 percent increase would make the mill levy 56.

The district is required to notify the public when it is considering raising the mill levy. They are sending out letters to the community with information and figures regarding the proposal the school board will be considering.

According to the letter, the “new’ funding formula for State Aid to school districts requires that each district has a local contribution (tax levy) amount equal to at least 60 mills multiplied times the previous year’s valuation.

Last year the Killdeer District levied 43.58 mills for its General Fund and 10 mills for the Building Fund. The proposed levy for 2016 is 46 mills for the General Fund and 10 mills for the Building Fund.

Greg Gieser grew up as the son of a plumber. Although he loved working with his dad, Gieser wondered what else was out there for him. He went to college, went to work in the oil fields, but has realized his true calling was plumbing. He opened a plumbing and heat business a few months ago in Dunn Center. (Photo by Bryan Gallegos)

If the proposal is not approved, the district will remain at its current mill levy, but the separation between the revenue and expenditure will increase to as must as $400,00, Wilz said.

A mill levy increase would mean slightly higher property taxes next year.

For a house that has a

property value of $228, 410, the tax would be $576, according to a formula used by the state.

That would be $26 more than it would be at the current mill levy.

“If push comes to shove and the budget is really tight, we will have to look to trim some areas,” Wilz said.

years as a plumber allowed him to excel in his new job and he quickly moved up the company ladder. He was promoted to Area Supervisor for North Dakota, managing the company’s rental-equipment division.

But, Gieser was again affected by the downturn in the economy. In January, he was laid off when Tril-

liant closed its North Dakota operation.

So, Gieser returned to his roots started years ago.

He knows the economy is down, but is confident in his work ethic, moxie and knowledge.

“I like my customers to be satisfied. That’s the main thing,” he said.

“That’s the way it started.”

gion.

That would mean the Cowboys would be in the Region 7 with Divide County, Parshal/White Shield, Ray/Powers Lake, Tioga and Trenton/Trinity Christian.

The distance to those schools ranged from 80 miles to 165 miles. The average road trip would be 115 miles.

However, spurred by coaches from around the state, the state is considering breaking Class B into six regions with eight teams, said Killdeer Director of Athletics Andrew DesRosier.

The state is currently conducting surveys on the proposal, and asked that responses be turned in by Wednesday.

If the state went with six regions, then Killdeer likely would’ve have been placed in a region with the likes of Mott-Regent/New England, New Salem/Glen Ullin, Richardton-Taylor/ Hebron, Beach, Grant County/Carson/Flasher, Hettinger/Scranton and

Central McLean.

The deadline for Killdeer to request to the state to opt up to Class A was today.

Had Killdeer missed that deadline, the Cowboys would’ve automatically remained in Class B. And if the state chooses to go with eight regions, then Killdeer would be in the Region 7.

One of the concerns about playing against schools with larger enrollments was the depth of the team.

This year, Killdeer has 32 players on the varsity team. And Killdeer has 19 boys playing the feeder program in junior high school.

Other schools with whom the Cowboys would be competing against have either more in the high school program or more in the junior high program.

Hazen, who the Cowboys will face next week in what could be for the Region 5 championship, has 14 more players on the varsity 15 more in junior

Killdeer Highlands

high.

Dickinson Trinity, which handed the Cowboys their only loss this season, has similar numbers.

In an “Man-on-theStreet” survey of 20 community members conducted by The Dunn County Herald, players’ safety was the top concern.

“What do you do, if you have an injury to one of your starters who is a senior, and the backup is a freshman. He’s not going to be as strong or as fast as the others on the field,” said Tony Anderson, a truck driver and avid football high school football fan.

“Football is a contact sport, and you have to expect injuries. If the cupboard is bare, that could lead to problems,” Anderson said.

The state’s plans are developed and implemented every two years.

DesRosier said he has started work on a proposal for the next cycle that would best work for the Cowboys’ program.

Bryan's Song My wife is a teacher. She has been for years, and she’s pretty good at it.

I enjoy listening to her stories about her kids in the classroom.

Some are “Movie-ofthe-Week” material.

Others are “Nightmare on Elm Street.”

Yet, she still shows up for work with a smile on her face and optimisim on her mind.

It takes a special person to be a teacher. It’s an under-valued, over-burdened, and under-appreciated kind of a job.

I tried it once ... sort of.

I volunteered in my wife’s class, I think it was the third grade.

I figured I could sit behind the desk, hand out a work sheet, read the newspaper, grade their work sheets, play “Thumbs Up” and then go home.

Wrong, Bucko!

I soon realized that this wasn’t the “Leave It To Beaver” days that I grew up with.

My assignment was to edit the kids’ journals.

Piece of cake.

I buzzed right through them. It took me about 20

By Bryan Gallegos minutes to do 15 journals.

Wifey became suspicious when one of the students asked her what “the combustion illuminated the vast darkness that blanketed the camp.”

She looked at me with that look - you know the look I’m talking about. It’s the look that you know you’re in trouble.

“What are you doing?’ she asked.

“I’m editing,” I said.

“Making it read better, you know, flow better.”

“What third-grader says ‘the combustion illuminated the vast darkness that blanketed the camp?’” she asked. “I don’t even use those words.”

I was going to make a joke out of it, but wisely changed my mind.

After that, I sharpened some pencils until lunch.

I knew then I wasn’t made to be a teacher.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Partly because I didn’t like the shoes they wore.

I always thought teachers wore the ugliest shoes.

Wifey said they are worn for comfort not looks.

On her first day of school, she bought a pair of sneakers.

Running shoes, actually.

And it’s a good thing, too.

She was sitting in class with her students as they listened to an administrator go over school rules.

One boy, after figiting in his chair for a while, said, “This sucks. I’m out of here.”

And just like that, he was out the door of the classroom and headed straight for the great outdoors.

Wifey got up and started after him.

She trotted a couple of steps and figured he would stop when he saw she was chasing him. But he didn’t.

Wifey made like a sprinter to catch him.

“I didn’t know I was going to be on the track tream,” she said, after cutting the little guy off before he reached the front door.

Hello, I guess I have to keep you informed about Carson Wentz. This is for you people that do not live in North Dakota and maybe didn’t get to watch the game yesterday.

As you know, Carson is from Bismarck and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Yesterday he led the Eagles to a 34-3 victory over the Steelers. He is now 3 and 0 and broke Tom Brady’s rookie record of pass attempts without an interception.

I told my grandsons that he is a personal friend of mine. That is not quite true. But I have been in Bismarck before. And I figure that is close enough.

That makes us kind of neighbors.

The NFL makes a lot of money on guys like this.

And I suppose Carson and the Eagles do too.

Will was going to order a Wentz jersey for his youngest boy, Slate. He got on the Internet and found just what he was looking for. $78!!!! $78 for a jersey for a three-year-old kid!

That is like robbery!

But the problem was quickly solved. Three-year olds, at least ours, can’t read or write. And he is a little weak on his colors.

Dear Editor: Great minds have mulled over concepts that most of us cannot even conceive like “Antimatter” and “Dark Matter.” Now the Obama Administration, through the late Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has discovered the existence of “Doesn’t Matter.”

This is due to the exceptional intelligence of the smartest woman in the world, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

It appears to have absolutely no effect on anything whatsoever, but is a coveted political science position and quoted theory by the liberal media and the progressive left.

Who knows, Hillary may come up with something that rivals Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. She could be credited with something like “The Absolute Relative Chance of Total Memory Loss” at a congressional hearing.

With this deep cranial thinking, along with her financial prowess with the Clinton Family Foundation, it would seem to make this human prodigy un-

equaled and unstoppable. But “At this point, what difference does it make” - I heard that in a Congressional Hearing and thought it fit.

But for the wiping, “You mean like with a cloth,” of some pesky e-mails - which only included topics on yoga and wedding plans for daughter Chelsea - life for the world’s smartest woman would have been rose petals, clear skies and crown placement.

But we in the “Basket of Deplorables” are not so sure about this “queen in waiting” and also have questions about the court’s royal jester also known as Slick Willy.

Finally, she had her sights set, and bet all in on the job of Royal Commander in Chief and Queen of the United States.

One can only hope this country remembers we didn’t want a Monarchy 240 years ago and we are not red hot about needing one now.

Opinion

DUNN COUNTY HERALD

By Dean Meyer So we gave him an old Vikings jersey and told him it said Wentz. He loves it. Problem solved.

I attended a fire hall meeting in Richardton this week.

Richardton is a great little town where we used to produce the annual rodeo.

While we were waiting for the meeting to start, we started visiting about some of the things that happened different years of the rodeo.

Some of the things I can’t really tell about, but some are pretty funny.

So I thought maybe I would do a deal like Sportscenter does. You know.

They put up those top-ten plays. And then sometimes they put up the “not top-ten plays”.

I thought maybe I’d start telling some of my “not top-ten rodeo stories”.

Sometimes, when producing a rodeo, you end up short of bronc riders and bull riders and you have

to improvise a little. And a good way to improvise is to get the kids involved.

You can have a boot race, musical chairs, or make something up.

One year at Richardton we had a greased-pig contest.

We had a twenty-pound weaner pig and had him all greased up with lard.

He was a slippery little guy and didn’t really like our game. In fact, he squealed on us.

We lined all the kids up in the middle of the arena and had porky in a box.

The whistle blew, the box was lifted up, and a hundred kids went screaming towards that pig.

That pig took off south, under the fence, and headed for the Interstate!

You’ve never really lived until you see a hundred kids standing there dumbfounded and wondering what to do.

I got to thinking this morning while I was frying bacon, “I wonder whatever happened to that pig!”

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

He has been a featured columnist around the state for years.

Two new incidents give pause to reflect on violence in this great country.

First, the less dangerous. Scroungy ne’er do well “protestor” Sean Thompson’s cream pie in the kisser of Scramento, Calif., Mayor (former NBA superstar) Kevin Johnson on Sept. 21. Lesson learned?

Don’t assault a former pro athlete! Six stitches and a “bloody pulp,” busted face later, after the mayor tackled him personally and pummeled him, Thompson whined as he sat in jail on a $10,000 bond, “he hit me in the face at least two times. I don’t think that was an appropriate response to a pie to the face.”

Reasonable minds differ, but, the fact remains, uh, dude, you might try keeping your pies to yourself.

More serious and troubling? Another ISIS lone wolf in St. Cloud, Minn.

This time attacking with a knife until shot dead. And, as previously reported by this newspaper to be part of the jihad, posing as law enforcement himself, albeit, a security guard at the local mall.

Thee were eight victims who were just minding their own business and shopping.

By Pat Merriman And, since the off-duty policeman who killed the terrorist worked elsewhere, it’s another good argument for concealed carry.

In Missouri, in response to BLM and the Ferguson effect, as of Jan. 1, 2017, my old home state just overrode Democrat Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto! Now, no permit to carry concealed at all. If you find yourself in that state, you can now defend yourself against ISIS, armed meth addicts or just the everyday, violent thugs that are being let out of prison.

In the wake of this atrocity in Minnesota, it begs the question in North Dakota, “What in the heck don’t liberals get about public safety?” The Republican legislators in Missouri had to quash a Democrat filibuster and then force a vote on the new bill where it passed handily virtually along party lines. And, Democratic caterwauling about Donald Trump pegging the terrorist bombing in New York and New Jersey

last week just because he announced the truth “too soon.” What’s that all about?

Are we so politically correct that, ala ObamaClinton and their ilk, we cannot simply call it what it is? I mean, if our leaders won’t even admit there is a problem, continue to restrict our means to defend ourselves and, then keep trucking in these folks into our neighborhoods where they “radicalize” (whatever that means) themselves, isn’t that just like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when you quit? With friends like these, who needs enemies, right?

Or here at home where I’ve had more death threats in the last three years than in my entire 35-plus- year law-enforcement career by “non-violent” drug offenders. The last “you’d better watch your back” last week just made me smile. Grandpa Luther used to say, “If all you had to worry about was some (expletive deleted) shooting you today, wouldn’t life be grand.”

Pat Merriman is the Dunn County State Attorney. He also officiates high school and college athletics events.

ed parties appear and contest the cancellation, the State Engineer will hear the evidence and if it appears that the water has not been put to a beneficial use or, having been so used at one time, has ceased to be used for such purposes for more than three years, unless the failure or cessation of use was due to the unavailability of water, a justifiable inability to complete the works, or other good and sufficient cause, the same, or a portion thereof, will be declared forfeited and canceled.

Dribble From The Pen

‘Dear God ...’

By Reverend Ray

Bible answers to everyday questions Question: When I was young I stole from my family and friends to support my drug habit. Since then I’ve become a believer. How do I make this right after all these years?

Answer: There is healing of both body and mind when we confess our wrongdoing.

James wrote, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another ... that you may be healed (Jm. 5:16). When we harbor sin in our lives it has a terrible, wasting effect upon us (Ps. 32:3).

When God in His mercy brings the conviction of unconfessed sin to our minds (Jn. 16:8) it not only gives us the opportunity to make things right, but also leads to freedom from guilt.

The first step then is to go to God in full, truehearted repentance (Acts 3:19). If you can’t, you will not be ready to be honest with those you have wronged.

It will take true humility (Jm. 4:10) to make no excuses for yourself, and to accept whatever response may come.

So be prepared even if your sincere

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.”

desire to make things right is not received well. We cannot control the response our actions may bring, however, when you go in answer to the conviction God has brought you do not go alone.

His Spirit will be with you working to bring reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18).

If necessary, be prepared to make restitution for your past offenses (Ex. 22:12; Num. 5:5-7).

Happily, now that you have confessed your sin, you will be able to say with Jesus, “for the prince of this world... has no hold on me” (Jn. 14:30)! Repentance takes the power the enemy has subjugated you with out of his hands (James 4:7)!

Wrote David, “I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord’ - and you forgave the guilt of my sin” (Ps. 32:5; 1 Jn. 1:9). For, “the truth will set you free” (Jn. 8:32).

Fears and checks of conscience are the whole of its security against the worst of sins; and they are a guard not to be trusted unto in the room of the peace of God1 Peace is a word that is often used by the Apostle Paul, both as an admonishment and as a regular bestowal upon the recipients of his letters.

It is in the sense of admonishment that Paul here pleads for peace for the saints at Colossea, but beyond this, he encourages them to let the peace of Christ be the controlling factor of their hearts.

This implies from Paul that an element of influence exists that grants to its recipients an unusual experience of the absence of anxiety or mental stress.

This peace that Paul speaks of is not merely an escape from pressures or fears that come at us in life, but a governing sway upon the heart in the midst of the circumstances and situations of life.

It is interesting and the point of Paul’s statement in the text cited that generic subjective movement or force is not what is enveloping the saint of Christ.

It is not a discovery of some inner tranquility as practiced by eastern religions suggest. But rather, it is Christ Himself governing the hearts and souls on the basis of a redemptive hope that has secured terms of peace between the Believer and the Holy God. The central element in

the heart of human being that is to be blamed for unrest is the sin that dwells within us.

The reality is that sin itself is not some evil distinct entity that is manufacturing in the heart breaths of anxiety, despair and stress. Rather, sin is the nature of man, himself and consistent with this nature are the conflicts with life because conflict exists inherently with natural man.

The presence of lust, evil desires, murders, hatred, lyings and ad infinitum are all consistent with man’s nature.

The problem with our world, our society, the unrest in communities, the whole lock, stock and barrel of human actions is the result of something very simple, quite simple, man.

The English apologist, G. K. Chesterton, once responded to a question put forth in the editorial portion of London paper; “What’s wrong with the world?” “I am,” he said.

Such an attitude today would go far in answering the problems confronted in our society if we recognize ourselves as the primary source of the problem. This is the first step down the road of discovering a peace that passes all understanding.

Paul in the passage noted addresses the saints of Colossea here, not with a suggestion or even an optional course. The form of the verb in the original language is in the imperative denoting that it is a command that he is evoking.

There are some intrinsic element that are consistent with this peace as it deals with the core issue of unrest in man’s heart, that he is at enmity with the supreme sovereign of

the universe.

There is only one term of reconciliation that will suffice in this area of cosmic conflict, that which comes from Jesus Christ.

The conflict of the heart is due to conflict with God and Jesus Christ’s work of redemption through His death, burial and resurrection is the only valid solution for the unrest of the human soul.

That Paul command the peace of Christ to control or rule in the heart is a legitimate injunction only to those who are recipients of the the benefit of cessation of conflicts between God and the heart through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

That there are those who deny or even condemn the proposition of peace with God through Jesus Christ are incapable of substantiating a viable alternative to it that will give sustainable results beyond the temporal world.

For the saint, Paul is commanding us to take stock in the reconciliation achieved by Christ as a reality in your own heart.

As the great Puritan divine, John Owen, has stated; “but the minds of believers are influenced by a view of the glory of the image and likeness of God in that holiness, and all the parts of it, which they are called unto. This gives them love unto it, delight and complacency in it, enabling them to look upon it as its own reward.”

If you are without Christ in your heart, what concrete experience of peace can be produced to smooth the anxiety of facing God? The Rev. Ray Druckenmiller is the Pastor at Manning Community Church.

Killdeer school gets donation from ONEOK for Close Up The Dunn County Herald Killdeer High School was selected for a grant from ONEOK to help with expenses for a weeklong event in Washington, DC, that is sponsored by the Close Up Foundation.

“It’s really exciting,” said Killdeer teacher Janis Harris, who is the school’s advisor for the Close Up program.

Killdeer is one of four school to receive $1,000 for the trip that is designed to use Washington D.C. as a classroom to learn first-hand about American history and politics.

Killdeer has participated in the program since 1984 and during that time has sent 124 students

to the nation’s capital. Last year there were 21 high school juniors and seniors from Killdeer. The previous year was 20.

The cost for the program is $2,631 per student. The students are responsible for raising their own tuition.

Coupled with the $800 Close Up financial aid, there is $1,800 to help students meet their goal, Harris said.

Foor more than 30 years, Close Up Foundation has invited students from MonDak area schools to experience Washington, D.C, as few are able to in their lifetime. With the help of their teachers, Close Up students do more than just tour our nation’s capital - they engage completely with their surroundings,

use D.C. as a classroom to learn first-hand about American history and politics, and discover their own capacity for nationwide impact.

Citizenship in a democracy demands a readiness and a capacity to act, and Close Up is thrilled when our organization’s mission of creating active citizens is supported by local offices that share our belief to educate for democracy, Close Up officials said.

This year, a $4,000 donation from ONEOK will enable more students from Killdeer, Watford City, Williston and Sidney, Mont., to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ONEOK’s support for local students participating in Close Up’s experiential civic education

program is a recognition of the importance of ensuring the next generation of MonDak leaders will be informed and engaged citizens.

“ONEOK’s core value of service recognizes that good corporate citizenship is an essential and important responsibility,” said Heather VanGelder, ONEOK community relations coordinator. “ONEOK specifically invests in organizations and programs that focus on education to ensure the next generation is successful.”

Founded in 1971, Close Up is a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose mission is to inform, inspire, and empower young people to understand and accept their role as citizens in a

democracy. While on Close Up’s week-long program, MonDak students will join their peers from across the county for daily debates, discussions, and activities focusing on current issues and the governing process. They will also have a chance to meet their elected officials as part of a comprehensive Capitol Hill series.

“Close Up’s goal is to inspire its participants to become active, engaged citizens,” said Tim Davis, president, Close Up Foundation. “Students return home with an increased interest in national, state and local matters and many of our alumni have gone on to run for and hold political office or have become social studies teachers.”

Program set up help seniors Killdeer students shine prepare college applications at State Range competiton It will be a bit busier than normal at Killdeer High School during the week of Oct. 3-7.

High school seniors are looking ahead to next fall and submitting their first round of college applications as part of College Application Month in North Dakota.

As an incentive to start planning early and participate in the activities, Bank of North Dakota is paying one $35-application fee per student when they apply to a North Dakota college.

Community volunteers who will be assisting the students include of Alexandra Adolf, admissions recruiter of Dickinson State University and Corby McGlauflin, admissions representative of the University of Mary.

“This is the first year our school is participating in this event. It is an excellent way to help students who feel a bit overwhelmed with the college application process to actually experience it and realize they can figure it out,” said Courtney Vettel, the school counselor at Killdeer.

Killdeer High School is one of more than 70 high schools across the state participating in College Application Month.

College Application Month is part of a national effort to increase the numbers of people applying to college early in the year.

According to the North Dakota Department of Commerce, 41 percent of North Dakotans complete at least two years of college, but numbers fall sig-

nificantly after that. Only 27 percent of North Dakotans achieve a bachelor’s degree, and of that number, only eight percent continue on to receive a graduate or professional degree. Bachelor’s and professional/graduate degrees both fall below the national average.

“We are grateful to our partners in banking, secondary education and higher education for their assistance.

This project is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate to young people in our state that they are valued and their communities are invested in their future,” say officials at Bank of North Dakota President/CEO Eric Hardmeyer said: “A well-educated workforce is essential to support the state’s economy.”

In addition to Bank of North Dakota, other partners in the effort are the North Dakota Office of the Governor, North Dakota University System and North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

All students are celebrating the week with special dress up days.

Monday will be designated as military Monday because juniors will be taking the ASVAB career assessment.

Tuesday is career and professional day, where students can dress as what they want to be when they get older.

On Wednesday, teachers will represent their alma mater and Thursday is College Game Day. Friday is designated as orange and black day to honor our seniors as “Once a Cowboy, Always a Cowboy.”

The Dunn County Herald The weather was rainy, but things were pretty sunny for Killdeer’s FFA chapter at the State Range competition in rural Gladstone earlier this month.

Katelinn Chinn and Iris Dukart each won gold in the competition, while Rachel Voigt won silver and Hannah Rebsom bronze.

Killdeer also won a silver rating as a team in the Sept. 15 competition.

Sports Killdeer storms past Heart River

10 | Friday, September 30, 2016

Cowboys face Southern McLean tonight on road, not looking ahead to Hazen matchup

By Bryan Gallegos The Dunn County Herald

The rain that pelted Killdeer on Friday turned into a storm at the Killdeer Sports Complex. Dillan Jepson provided lightning-quick strikes and the Cowboys’ defense brought the thunder in a 50-6 rout of Heart River on a misty night.

Jepson scored three touchdowns on long runs and rushed for 183 yards on 13 carries and the defense intercepted four passes, recovered a fumble and blocked two punts that resulted in points.

“The kids got after it,” beamed Killdeer head coach Lou Dobitz. “The kids were excited. They played well from the get go.”

Indeed. The Cowboys won their fourth game in a row in dominating fashion to improve to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in Region 4. They are tied for the top spot with Hazen, which also improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the region after crushing Standing Rock 52-0.

The two leaders are on a collision course on Oct. 7, which was a buzz in the crowd after the victory on Friday night.

But there’s no mention of Hazen.

Not yet.

“We do it one play at a time, I game at a time,” said Killdeer lineman Liam McFadden. “We know we have the other team coming up. That’s not even relevant to us right now.”

Not yet.

The Cowboys must first get past Southern McLean on the road at 7 tonight.

Milestone victories not a big deal for Killdeer head football coach

Killder’s Dillan Jepson successfully booted six extrapoint attempts on Friday night in a 50-6 victory over Heart River at the Killdeer Sports Complex. Jepson also led the Cowboys by rushing for three touchdowns and 184 yards on 13 carries. (Photo by Bryan Gallegos) Southern McLean picked up its first win of the season last week, downing Garrison/Max 51-20. The Roughriders are 1-4 overall and 1-1 in regional play.

And a victory over the Cowboys would put them right in the thick of things.

“The team next week is a lot like Heart River team.

They have athletes and they play tough. If you don’t play a good game you don’t win.

It’ll be a tough one next week,” Dobitz said.

The storm made it one

tough night for Panthers.

They couldn’t stop Jepson and the other Killdeer runners, who accounted for 374 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. The line opened gaping holes that helped Killdeer average 11 yards every time they ran the ball.

Jepson started the rout on the second play from scrimmage, with a dazzling 65-yard run in a light drizzle. Four minutes later, he rambled 25 yards

Three weeks ago, Lou Dobitz hedged when asked about his 100th career coaching victory.

And when his team defeated Lewis&Clark/Our Redeemer on the road, very little was said.

He downplayed the significance of the victory, instead shifting the attention to the players.

“I’ve had a lot of good kids over the years,” he said.

Those kids have helped Dobitz record a 102 victories over an illusterous 16-year career as a head coach in South Dakota and North Dakota.

He’s been the head coach at Killder for the past eight seasons, and the 50-6 victory over Heart River was his 50th victory as the Cowboys’ head coach. for a score. His third score came on a 33-yard run in the second period. Alex Sadowsky added a 9-yard scoring run in the second period before Cole Dukart added a 15-yard touchdown run early in the final stanza and Dylan Tabor scored on a 3-yard run in the closing seconds of the contest.

Although the defense gave up some yardage – 196 through the air and 287 yards in total offense – the Cowboys came up

“I don’t think about that. It’s about the kids,” said Dobitz, a former defensive back at Dickinson State.

Those kids honored their coach with the game ball after the victory.

It was a touching tribute to a man who has led the Cowboys to the state playoffs seven straight years, including the state finals the past two seasons.

Making the state playoffs is nothing new for Dobitz’s teams. He got his first head coaching job in Timber Lake, S.D. in 1992. He led his team to the state playoffs six times in eight years, including the state finals one year.

Very impressive numbers, but no big deal.

“What is rewarding is seeing those kids improve,” Dobitz said.

with big plays that kept the Panthers at bay all night. Killdeer sacked Heart River quarterback Trace Jacobson one time but stopped the Panthers’ runners behind the line of scrimmage 14 times.

Ty Truchan came up with the first big defensive play that opened up the flood gates in the first quarter. The senior linebacker broke through the Panthers’ front line and blocked a punt. He picked up the ball and returned in

six yards for a touchdown.

The Cowboys did it again in late the third quarter. Several Killdeer defenders overpowered the Panthers and blocked the punt and the ball rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety.

Hoyt Zander picked off a couple of Heart River passes, including one in the end zone, and Dukart added two more thefts.

“We play some smashmouth football. We hit, and we hit hard,” McFadden said.

Cowboys record thrilling volleyball win in Beach

By Bryan Gallegos The Dunn County Herald

The road woes ended in dramatic fashion for the Killdeer High School vol-

leyball team on Tuesday night in Beach.

The Cowboys rallied for a thrilling 3-1 victory over Beach, in a match that saw the last two sets go

into overtime. Killdeer defeated Beach 22-25, 25-20, 26-24 and 27-25 in Region 7 plan.

Bridgette Reiss led the way with 11 kills, followed

by nine from Taycee Butts and seven by Sydney Anderson, who also led the team with four blocks.

Elissa Steffan had 28 digs, followed by 22 from Butts and 19 by Gabi Flaget. Steenal Larsen dished out 14 assists and Flaget had a dozen.

Prior to that, the road was not very kind to the Cowboys.

Riding a high from a two-match win streak at home, Killdeer went flat on the road dropped six out of seven matches last week.

“We had our ups and down,” said Killdeer head coach Allyson Steffan.

“This weekend, we really struggled with communicating and talking. We’re going to work on it.”

The rugged road trip started in Glen Ullin-Hebron on Sept. 22 against a team the Cowboys split

with at the season-opening Killdeer Mountain Invitational. This time there was nothing to split as Glen Ullin-Hebron swept Killdeer 25-21, 25-18 and 25-17 in a Region 7 match.

The Cowboys had difficulty returning serves against Glen Ullin-Hebron. The Bearcats recorded nine aces, including seven by Leah Gerving.

Chenneth Morlock had eight kills for the Cowboys, followed by seven each from Reis and Butts, who also led the team with 22 digs. Flaget distributed 11 assists.

Things didn’t get any better for the Cowboys at the Dickinson High School tournament at over the weekend. Killdeer went 1-5 in the two-day tournament that featured 24 teams from North Dakota and Montana.

On Friday, Killdeer fell

to Williston 3-1, then were swept by Montana teams Hardin and Skyview of Billings 3-0.

The Cowboys were placed in the Bronze Bracket, one of three brackets in the tournament, based on Friday’s results. Killdeer dropped the opener against Dawson County of Poplar, Mont., 2-0 before beating Stanley in the consolation semi-finals 2-0. The Cowboys fell to Glasgow, Mont., 2-0 in the consolation finals.

It was a somewhat frustrating experience, but one that can be a learning experience for the Cowboys.

They tinkered with different rotations, which may have led to some of the communication problems.

“You learn from the past and then move one,” Steffan said.

Killdeer cross country teams preview regional course

By Jarann Johnson

For the Dunn County Herald Killdeer XC previews regional course

By Jarann Johnson The Killdeer Cowboys headed to Beulah last weekend for a preview of the West Region meet in two weeks. Killdeer came away from the race with some confident results.

The girls took fifth and the boys sixth.

The girls had one runner in the top 25. Eighth-grader Hannah Benz led the way for the girls, pacing 22nd in a time of 24 minutes and 5 seconds.

Sophomore Shawnee Hansen finished 26th in 24:33, while freshman Jaylynn Hicks was

close behind in 29th with a time of 25:03.

“Hannah and Jaylynn worked their way from the middle of the race and worked their way up.

Shawnee started and finished really well, just had a little bit of a lapse in the middle where she struggled. She looked better than last week even though on the hilly course the times don’t look as well,” said Killdeer head coach Nathan Horgeshimer said.

Killdeer’s scoring was closed out by junior Corrie Dobitz and senior Katelynn Lane, placing 41st (27:02) and 45th (28:10).

The Cowboys were without junior Dani Benz, who missed the meet because of an illness.

“Corrie was consistent for us.

Katelynn got her first 5k in and

did fine. Dani Benz got sick yesterday, so she didn’t run. Katelynn stepped up and ran so we had five girls,” Horgeshimer said.

The boys also ran a full team at the meet. Junior Dakota Bowen and sophomore Stephen Westarp broke into the top 25 at the meet. Bowen placed 19th in 19:42 while Westarp was 21st in 19:44.

“Stephen and Dakota ran awesome. This was our region meet outside of a couple of individuals and they were right there fighting for the top 20. So, that was exciting to see,” Horgeshimer said.

Killdeer’s other varsity runners also ran well. Senior Colby Dukart was 46th in 21:32, Gar-

rett sophomore Calkins placed 55th in 22:21, followed by sophomore Orion Bowen in 60th at 22:57.

“Colby ran another consistent race. Colby has been consistent as out third runner. Garrett had another good race. Orion hung in there and finished,” Horgeshimer said.

The junior varsity squads also had a good day. The highlight for both JV teams was Jace Andersen’s win in the boy’s race.

Andersen had to pass a competitor in the last 300 meters of the race, but he followed the lead cart outside of the finish shoot.

Race volunteers had to raise the finish shoot rope for the runners to come back onto the course and find the finish line.

“Jace Andersen ran awesome.

He ran against a couple of guys he ran against last week except he finished and beat them instead of them finishing and beating him. Nathan Sadowsky had a consistent race. Dawson Schneider and Kaleb Eberline ran alright,” Horgeshimer said.

The JV girls took fifth overall. Horgeshimer felt like the JV girls did well but struggled with the hills on the course.

“JV girls had a solid day. There are a couple things to work on.

We struggled with the hill a little bit but this is the toughest course we’ll run on all year,” Horgeshimer said.

Killdeer will be head to the Rugby Invite this weekend.

BLM announces adjustment TRUCK to annual drilling-permit fee

FROM PAGE 1

WASHINGTON – As directed by Congress, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be adjusting the fee it charges to process oil and gas drilling permits on public and Indian lands for inflation effective October 1, 2016. That adjustment will increase the fee charged for such permits by $110 to $9,610.

The non-refundable processing fee will be collected when an oil and gas operator submits a drilling permit (called an Application for Permit to Drill), and is required whether or not a particular permit is subsequently approved.

Congress directed the BLM

CAR

to adjust the APD fee annually for inflation over 10 years as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.

To carry out this statutory requirement, the BLM has issued guidance to its field offices regarding the collection and handling of APD fees in the current fiscal year. The new guidance largely tracks prior guidance with respect to collection and handling policies such as when the fee is required; when the BLM will begin processing the APD; and acceptable forms of payment.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of

public land, the most of any Federal agency.

This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska.

The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.

The BLM’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

long. Construction began in July 2015 at an approximate cost of $30 million of state funding.

“Killdeer has felt the impacts of growth over the years with nearly 10,000 vehicles per day traveling through the city,” says Grant Levi, NDDOT Director. “The completion of the bypass will help to restore the quality of life for residents and enhance the ability for children to walk to and from the school safely.”

The design of the bypass includes two roundabouts. One on ND 200 at the south end of the bypass and the other on ND

22 at the north end of the project. Roundabouts are an important part of the design of the new roadway requiring traffic control without stopping. The roundabout portion of the project provides many benefits to travelers including: · The elimination of high speed crashes · Improved flow of traffic · Increased traffic capacity · Ability to accommodate vehicles and trucks of all sizes · Increased safety for all travelers The NDDOT has worked

with local officials in western North Dakota to complete bypass routes around the communities of Killdeer, Williston, Watford City, Alexander, New Town and Dickinson. In total, the state has invested approximately $420 million on the construction of these truck bypasses and truck routes.

Since 2011, the state has invested $2.3 billion in one-time state funding for state highways. This has allowed the NDDOT to expand existing roadways, build new bridges, construct bypass routes, and improve safety for the traveling public.

According to Killdeer police, the couple returned to Killdeer before they could be interviewed regarding the car Larson had been driving. After they were located in town, they told officers they were unaware that the car had been reported stolen until Larson told them right before he initiated the highspeed chase.

Later that night, police received calls regarding the couple walking around town asking for a ride to Parshall, N.D., according to the report.

Police received a call of a stolen vehicle at the Cobblestone Inn about 12:30 a.m.

The victim reported that she parked her car in the parking area entered the building. When she went out to move her car, it was gone, the report said. She had a two-month-old puppy, her purse contained credit cards, checks and some cash, the report said.

A hotel employee told authorities that the couple had been hanging around the lobby.

Authorities suspected the couple based on their comments about needing a ride to Parshall.

A sheriff’s deputy drove north on Highway 22 looking for the vehicle. He located the vehicle about 3

a.m. near mile marker 131.

An officer from Three Affiliated Tribes was arriving onthe scene.

During the stop, authorites saw the puppy in the vehicle, according to the report. The couple was taken into custody by the TAT officer.
