The Main Street bridge that crosses the Cannonball River just north of Riverside Park is one of several bridges in Hettinger County in serious need of repairs. Herald photo / Brad Mosher

Hettinger County still has long list of bridge problems – First in a Series – By Brad Mosher The Herald New England has a bridge which may need to be closed for repairs in the near future. The Main Street bridge which crosses the Cannonball River just north of Riverside Park is in serious need of repairs. It isn’t the only one. There are 16 bridges in Hettinger County labeled as structurally deficient by recent inspections from 2016 to 2018 and needed repair or corrective action. Another 11 bridges were identified as meeting the minimum tolerable limits but still needed repairs. Forty bridges are identified as being in good condition in Hettinger County.

Needs repair After an inspection in Sept. 2017, the bridge made the list of the county’s structurally deficient bridges with a poor rating. It also had a sufficiency rating of 33.50. By comparison, the nearby State Highway 22 bridge over the river has a good/fair overall status, with a sufficiency rating of 96.10 and in fair condition according to the NBI Bridge Condition standards. According to the survey, the bridge met the minimum tolerable limits to be left in place as is. The bridge also was given a rating of 2 for its deck geometry and declared that it was requiring a high priority for replacement. The bridge was built in 1912 and has not been reconstructed, according to the information listed by Florida Today which covered all of the states including

North Dakota. According to the inspection in 2017, the deck is in poor condition with advanced section loss, deterioration, spalling or scour. Spalling is when concrete is breaking into smaller pieces. That can occur because of temperature, moisture, corrosion, weathering and mechanical pressures which stress concrete. Scour is when there is erosion around the foundation. The superstructure and the substructure were also in the same poor condition, according to the last inspection. In addition, the bank protection is being eroded, with river control devices and/or the embankment having major damage, the 2017 inspection cited. The railings on the bridge had the lowest score – zero – and does not meet currently accept-

able standards or have a required safety feature. The zero rating is for the bridge railings, the transitions, the approach guard rail and the approach guard rails ends. The bridge itself is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. A nearby bridge over the Cannonball River on 60th Street W approximately a mile west of the city was rebuilt recently after an October 2016 inspection had given it a sufficiency rating of just 28.00 and was designated as structurally deficient. It had been built in 1944. The bridge had been identified as scour critical with the bridge foundations determined to be unstable. After the inspection, the bridge was identified as needing replacement because of substandard load carrying capacity or substandard bridge roadway

geometry. One bridge closed There is just one bridge in Hettinger County that has been closed. It is located on 73rd St. SW along the eastern border of the county one mile south of Highway 21 over Thirty Mile Creek, 13 miles east of the county seat. The bridge, located east of Bentley Road, had been built in 1916 and not been reconstructed since. It had a sufficiency rating of 48, but had serious problems. After the Sept. 2017 inspection, the deck of the bridge was described as being in “imminent” failure condition. The inspection also said there was major deterioration or section loss present in critical structural components or obvious vertical or horizontal

Local From Field to Fork: Celebrating Pasta Month For nearly three decades the North Dakota Wheat Commission has celebrated National Pasta Month in October as a way to recognize the stateâ€™s dedicated durum producers and the associated durum milling and pasta manufacturing industries. To help celebrate Pasta Month and educate consumers on the importance of durum and pasta production, the Commission will be partnering with statewide media to provide durum and pasta facts and trivia. Participating newspapers and radio stations will provide opportunities for readers and listeners to win a pasta prize package. This yearâ€™s theme â€“ From Field to Fork â€“ focuses on the process of bringing the durum from the field to the pasta on consumerâ€™s plates. Durum is a unique crop. Production is rela-

tively small compared to other classes of wheat, accounting for only three percent of total U.S. production on average. The area where it is grown is also somewhat concentrated â€“ the bulk of acres in western North Dakota and eastern Montana. A smaller acreage of Desert Durum is grown in Arizona and California. Durumprefers drier conditions and a less humid environment due to disease susceptibility and the need to preserve color and hard count during harvest, a main reason why the geographical production area is smaller. North Dakota durum acres have declined in recent years due to both local and world dynamics, however, the producers growing durum remain as dedicated as ever to producing a quality product to make premium pasta products.

On average producers in North Dakotagrow enough durum to make abouttwo billion pounds of pasta! Durum is the hardest of all wheats and its rich amber color, high protein, and high gluten content make it the gold standard for producing premium pasta products.Producing durum with those strong quality traits can be difficult in years when weather isnâ€™t ideal in producing a good crop, something both producers and the industry must work through. Durum is milled into semolina and mixed with water to form various pasta shapes. Pasta can be combined with delicious sauces, vegetables and various proteins to make a wide variety of nutritious pasta dishes. In the Mediterranean Region and North Africa, semolina from durum is

prized for cous cous and some breads. A good share of our production is processed in-state at one of these facilities: Minot Milling, a division of Philadelphia Macaroni located in Minot, N.D.; Dakota Growers Pasta Company located in Carrington, N.D.; and the North Dakota Mill in Grand Forks. North Dakota durum is also sent out of state to mills throughout the United States, and to customers around the world. Italy, Algeria, and Nigeria are the largest international buyers, but North Dakota durum also finds its way to smaller markets in Central America and Europe. Celebrate pasta month by learning more about our stateâ€™s durum and pasta production and make one of your favorite pasta dishes. For great pasta cook-

ing tips and recipes, visit www.pastafits.org and for more information on pasta month, visit www.ndwheat.com. The Wheat Commission

would like to thank our dedicated Pasta Month sponsors: Dakota Growers Pasta, Philadelphia Macaroni and the U.S. Durum Growers.

tion is responsible for about 1,100, with various counties being responsible for maintaining roadways and bridges. The 469 total is lower than the 512 listed in 2014, but the method of identifying the structurally deficient structures has changed.

Sports Hettinger-Scranton rallies for Badlands Youth Football title By Brad Mosher The Herald Bowman struck first in the title game of the Badlands Youth Football League playoffs. But Hettinger-Scrantonâ€™s Micah Kilzner tied the game up with 4:33 left before halftime, making it 6-6 on the scoreboard at Reinkiller Field in Bowman Saturday. Hettinger-Scranton added one more score from inside the twoyard line with 1:56 left on the clock to pull out a 14-6 after Gavin Parnow scored the twopoint conversion. Both teams entered the playoff with 4-1 records, but the title game win avenged a 34-24 loss to Bowman earlier in the season. According to Bowman coach Michael Criswell, the poor weather conditions had an impact on both teams. â€œBoth teams had trouble holding on to the ball. We had players that wanted to warm up their hands because they were so cold,â€? he explained. Still, he praised the strong play of Jackson Fischer and Troy Brewer in the loss.

New Englandâ€™s Aiden Rafferty (68) and Ty Wolf (35) stops a Heart River running back for a loss during Saturdayâ€™s fifth-place playoff game in Bowman. Heart River won the game 22-6 Herald photo / Brad Mosher Youth Football League third-place game at the Bowman County High School campus. They held on for an easy 24-6 victor y. Tucker Bohmbach started the scoring with a 25-yard run with 4:00 left in the first quarter. Bohmbach ran into the end zone for the conversion, giving Killdeer an 8-0 lead. Killdeer added another two points less than two minutes later when Jackson Reese tackled the Baker quarterback in the end zone for a safety with 2:20 left. Just before the half, Tommy Schmidt scored from inside the five-

yard line to build a 16-0 lead. After the second half started, Bohmbach broke free for a 65-yard score to make the lead 22-0 with 10:26 left in the third quarter. Michael Dukart added the two point conversion, closing out the Killdeer scoring in the game. Trevin Lecoe scored the only Baker score late in the second half. According to assistant coach Clay Bohmbach, the long scoring run by Tucker Bohmbach was set up by a big block by Jace Handy. Killdeer entered the third-place game after finishing in a three-

way tie with HettingerScranton and Bowman â€“ all with 4-1 records. Killdeer was dropped to the third-place game in the playoff by a tiebreaker system. Bohmbach praised the teamâ€™s head coach, Nick Dukart, as well as fellow assistants Jeff Fair, Tony Dukart. He also said the assistance from volunteers Ryan Binek, Kor y Carlson and David Dukart also helped with the teamâ€™s success. Heart River 22, New England 6 Two 1-4 teams faced off in the fifth-place Badlands Youth Football League playoff

game in Bowman Saturday. But a shorthanded New England squad wasnâ€™t able to handle both the weather and a Heart River team which jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. Halfway through the second quarter, the Cougars scored again, taking a 14-0 lead. In the second half, the Cougars got their final score on a reverse, making it a 22-0 lead. In the fourth quarter, Blake Barsness broke a 74-yard touchdown run on a second and 15 play for the New England 26 yard line. The conversion failed. The New England squad entered the game still shorthanded after losing starting quarterback Gage Madler earlier in the season.

According to head coach Taylor Kraenzel, the injur y forced the team to shift players around and to tr y putting players in different positions. â€œWe had small players on the line,â€? he said, but they always were ready to play, even against bigger foes. In addition, Kraenzel praised other players, including Mark Fitterer and Pierson Frieze. The team will lose 10 sixth grade players, but he said he hopes to see strong improvement from the fourthgrade players which will return next season as fifth-graders. â€œThey got good experience this year,â€? Kraenzer added, noting that they got some playing time in fourth grade on fourth grade competition.
