LONG TIME PRINCIPAL RETIRING
Lyn Hendry ready to move on after more than 30 years By Cole Benz
Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net
One of Hettinger’s long time education administrators is retiring after more than 30 years on the
job. Hettinger Elementary Principal Lyn Hendry will be walking out of the school one last time on June 9. She resigned now (effective Jan. 9) so that the school board can have
ample time to find her replacement. Hendry started her career in 1985 in Colorado and taught fourth and fifth grade her first few years as an educator. Later she moved on to gifted and talented education. Originally from Durango, Colo., Hendry said in

Harding County came to ranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to ke on the Nighthawk boys d girls’ basketball teams, and t going 0-2 for their efforts. Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s sketball team faced the nchers first and pulled out 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s l court pressure initially gave e Ranchers trouble as they ickly fell behind 12-0. On top
of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25. With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-
26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points. They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied. The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot. Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net It’s been nearly a year in the making. In January 2015, Wells McGiffert of ALLETE Clean Energy was in the area for the first of many meetings with county officials. It was the beginning of the process that led to 43 wind turbines being erected north of Hettinger. The Thunder Spirit Wind Project. “It’s a huge milestone,”
McGiffert said during a conference call with the county commissioners at their January meeting. “It’s good, clean, renewable energy, and it supports kind of the diversification plan for the state of North Dakota.” The project initially broke ground in early spring last year, and though a few towers still need to pass a 48-hour inspection test, all 43 have been commissioned. The last stage of the project was to transition ownership of the wind farm from ALLETE to Montana-Dakota Utilities
Co. (MDU). That process was completed on Dec. 30. “We’re in the process of transferring all the permits and all that type of thing, (and) as of Saturday they commissioned the 43rd turbine,” Darren Holzer said at the January commissioner’s meeting. Holzer was hired on as Manager of Combustion Turbines and Wind Generation by MDU in mid-October. He will be in charge on site at the wind farm. According to Holzer, the transition from ALLETE to

ALLETE | FROM PAGE 1 ing a manager, and when he heard the opportunity was in Hettinger he knew it was a good fit, his wife is from the area. Holzer was also attracted to the opportunity of working in the renewable energy sector. Having come from a fossil-fuel position, Holzer knows that the future of energy is in renewables. “The renewable resources, wind energy is kind of the wave of the future,” Holzer said. “And coal, not so much.” So far every turbine has produced energy at one point in time, according to Holzer. Though as stated earlier, some turbines are still in the inspection phase but collectively they have already measured energy output as high as 83 megawatts. “That’s (83 megawatts) as high as I’ve seen it to date,” Holzer said. The wind farm has the potential to produce 107.5 megawatts of power.
Currently, MDU is full owner and operator of the farm, ALLETE is assisting with any “loose ends” the process may require, according to Holzer. Along with the renewable energy benefits the wind farm is bringing, the project has also created seven new, full-time positions. Employed at the wind farm will be two MDU employees (including Holzer), and five Nordex employees that are subcontracted through MDU. Nordex is the company that built some of the components. The Nordex employees are contracted for five years, at which time Holzer said they will review for future plans. From now on Holzer is hoping to be the point of contact between the company and the community if there are any concerns. “I always like to make sure we’re making a positive impact on the com-

five of the “52 Places to Go in 2016”. In an article recently published by the New York Times, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (TRNP) was listed as the fifth best place to visit in 2016. In the article, author Tim Neville says “The National Park Service turns 100 years old in August thanks to President Woodrow Wilson, who signed the Organic Act of 1916, but few presidents have done as much for conservation as Teddy Roosevelt. Fly into Dickinson in western North Dakota to visit the park named after him, where rolling grasslands dotted with bison collapse into the spectacular red, white and gold badlands of tumbling mud coulees. Lonely dirt roads bring you to one of the park’s less-visited attractions, Elkhorn Ranch, about 35 miles north of Medora, where Roosevelt arrived in 1884 as a young New Yorker ready to raise cattle and heal from the deaths of his wife and mother. Transformed and inspired, the 26th president eventually set aside more than 230 million acres of federal land to help preserve the wonder of places like Crater Lake, Mesa Verde and the Grand Canyon.” Theodore Roosevelt National Park was established to memorialize this area’s importance in Theodore Roosevelt’s life and the key role it played in fostering his conservation ethics. While visiting the badlands for the
badlands. During his stay, he started a second ranching operation called the Elkhorn Ranch. The United States is filled with 59 National Parks, covering nearly 52 million acres. The first national park in the United States was Yellowstone, which was created in March, 1872, followed by Yosemite and Sequoia in 1890. The most-visited national park is Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee, with over ten million visitors in 2014, followed by Arizona’s Grand Canyon, with over 4.7 million. In contrast, only 12,669 people visited the remote Gates of the Arctic in Alaska in the same year. Even though the Theodore Roosevelt National Park is over 70,000 acres, it comes in at number 43 in terms of overall size when compared to the other National Parks. TRNP received almost 600,000 visitors in 2014, making it the 27 ranked National Park for visitors. Of course, anyone who has ever visited TRNP knows of its beauty and awe-inspiring views. However, it is rare when our nearest national park receives national attention. According to the National Parks Service website, Theodore Roosevelt National Park contains several sites of historical significance, each relating to the era of cattle ranching in the late 1800s.
owland, behind which rises a line of sheer cliffs and grassy plateaus. This veranda is a pleasant place in the summer evenings when a cool breeze stirs along the river and blows in the faces of the tired men, who loll back in their rockingchairs (what true American does not enjoy a rocking-chair?), book in hand--though they do not often read the books, but rock gently to and for, gazing sleepily out at the weird-looking buttes opposite, until their sharp outlines grow indistinct and purple in the after-glow of the sunset.” From Hunting Trips of a Ranchman by Theodore Roosevelt Roosevelt’s first ranch home, the Maltese Cross Cabin, is open for viewing at the South Unit Visitor Center. The Long X Trail was used as a corridor to move cattle into the Northern Great Plains in the 1800s, and it passes through the North Unit of the park. Peaceful Valley Ranch was built in the 1880s and served as a dude ranch from 1918 to the 1930s. The ranch and its owners assisted in the establishment of Theodore Roosevelt National Park In 1901 Theodore Roosevelt became the 26th President of the United States, and ultimately one of its greatest conservationists. He later said, “I would not have been president had it not been for my experience in North Dakota.”

area had heart surgeries this week. Gary LaDue had bypass surgery in St. Paul on Monday. I believe it was Wednesday when Lowell Cordell had heart surgery in Rapid City and Kenny Messer had quadruple bypass surgery on Friday in Bismarck. At last report, all these guys were doing well, but please keep them in your prayers. I’m writing this early because there has been a lot going on this week and I have to head to Pierre for meetings on Monday. Tuesday is the first day of the 2016 legislative session and Gov. Daugaard will give his State of the State address to the legislature that afternoon. This promises to be a contentious session, with a lot of discussion about raising your taxes to pay for Medicaid expansion and teacher salaries. With all the kickback legislators got from the voters for raising taxes after the highway funding bill passed last year, it will probably dawn on some of legislators that raising taxes is not popular with their constituents. Most of the legislators are busy working on bills they intend to bring this year. I spent a lot of time on the phone with the Legislative Research Council discussing bills that I’m working on. The folks in LRC are busy writing agency bills for the various government departments and some legislators have already filed a few bills. This is the last Grand River Roundup I’ll write until the session is over in the middle of March, but my legislative column will keep you informed of the legislative issues in Pierre. Although they have a lot in common, state government is not as bad as the federal
government, but this fits both: Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every action with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete. Governmentium has a normal halflife of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Brrrr! As Ole would ask, “Cold nuff fer ya?” Saturday night the mercury dropped to 17 below zero. It’s been colder than that here, but any temperature below zero takes a lot of getting used to. The ground is covered with snow and most of the days this week were foggy and overcast. Former Senator Ryan Maher called me with some issues that the town of Isabel is having with snow removal by DOT on Highway 20 that goes right through the middle of Isabel. The DOT has always plowed the highway through Isabel and then Maher and the
other businesses along the highway have hired someone to clean the snow off the sidewalks that the plows left, pile it up, and the state then removed the big pile of snow. DOT has quit removing the pile of snow, even though the businesses have signed over rights to the frontage of their businesses to DOT to get the snow removed. It seems like there are always a lot of issues like this with the state vs county and city governments that need to be addressed. When the cold weather moved in several people sent me this poem that is so fitting for this area: It’s winter in South Dakota, And the gentle breezes blow, Seventy miles an hour At twenty-nine below.

On one of the nicer days this week these guys tore the old roof off the lean-to on the south side of the lambing shed on Wednesday and are in the process of replacing it like they did on the north side a couple weeks ago. There is always something that needs fixed around here. We had a meeting of the Great Western Cattle Trail Association Wednesday afternoon in Spearfish. Tom Davis brought his son Jim to the meeting to see how Jim can build some new forms to pour the cattle trail cement markers. We discussed how we are going to improve the markers by changing the verbiage to better fit our purpose. Right now they say “The Great Western Tr” and we decided they should read “Western Cattle Trail” instead. Without cattle in the name, the cattle trail is being confused with the railroads, bike trails, and other trails that have nothing to do with bringing the herds of cattle north from Texas and Mexico in the late 1800s.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
Hat Tips By Dean Meyer
Hello, We run cattle on the reservation. And the area we pasture in is pretty rough and not much for fences. It’s kind of an open range sort of deal. So the gather begins in October and kind of runs until you go back to grass the next year. This year I am short three pair. Unless my count is wrong. Which dang sure could be. But we had a guy fly a couple weeks ago and
they thought they spotted some. I was tickled to death. I hated to leave a few thousand dollars worth the cattle out in the wind and snow all winter. We drove up to a ridge as close as we could get to the cattle. I had a four wheeler and a shod horse in the trailer. When that little package of cows saw us coming they headed for the timber on a high lope. I swore and chased cows for an hour and a half in the brush before I got them out in the open where I could get close enough to read the brands. None were mine. Damn. I hate that. It kind of reminded me of years ago when we were producing rodeos. We had
a couple of bucking bulls that were just impossible to keep in a corral. They were both really good bulls. Bar 33 and Tornado. They would crawl under a corral. They would jump over a corral. They would go through a corral. I swear, Tornado could crawl through a fence that would hold a pig. And Bar 33 could jump over a fence that would hold a buffalo. But, I always knew when they left the ranch, where we could find them on Friday morning when we were loading up for the next rodeo. Tornado would be out on the flat with the dry cows, and Bar 33 would be seven miles north with Henderson’s milk cows. He had this
thing about those spotted cows that he just couldn’t get over. He would go through five hundred plain old range cows for a chance to spend a few days with those spotted cows. Amazing. Both these bulls had been roped enough where they were pretty well halter broke. They looked a lot worse than they were. You could rope Bar 33 a half mile from a horse trailer and he would lead along pretty good. You just leave the end gate open, drag him up close, and he would jump in. Tornado was a little tougher. But he would lie down as soon as you roped him. You just shot him a with a little birdshot to
get him out of the brush, rope him, have somebody (Shirley) bring the trailer, and drag him in. At least that was always the plan. The year of the Great Escape, they got out in Mandan during the night. Then they went across a footbridge over the Heart River, down a side street, and into a trailer park. There they went into a nice yard with a nice garden and camped for the night. Right in the knee high sweet corn. In the morning, sirens were wailing and phones were ringing. There were three wild Brahma bulls threatening the people of Mandan. I quickly got the police calmed down, which is quite a feat in it-
self. They were bound and determined they should kill or at least tranquilize these beasts. Now, we needed them to buck in a rodeo at two o’clock. We did not need dead or hung over bulls. I talked the cops into just stopping the traffic a few spots, while I took my dog and sicced ‘em back to the rodeo grounds. I honestly believe that Bar 33 learned his manners from those milk cows he had been visiting. They walked right out of that yard, down the street like they were in the Fourth of July parade, right around the end of a police car, and across that footbridge back to the rodeo grounds! Later, Dean
That’s Life By Tony Bender
Boy, am I mad. I’m so mad I made a list of the things I am most mad about. One of them is I hate lists. But you know me—Mr. Positive—I want to at least start on a high note by congratulating UND... maybe it was Mayville State... on the annual mugging of another flock of hapless lambs in Frisco, Texas. It was so much fun, the only reason anyone is coming back to -24 weather in North Dakota is that they’ve run out of Lone Star beer. Many fans almost didn’t make the trip at all, because Hector International Airport ran out of de-icer. Who could have predicted one would need de-icer in North Dakota in January? This made Hector the laughingstock of international airports. Up to that point, Hector was running neck and neck with JFK and LaGuardia for the coveted International Airport of the Year award. So, I’m pretty mad about that. #2. And I am really tired of being bossed around by the federal government. In an act of defiance right up there with the Boston Tea Party, I cut the “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” tags off the couch cushions. I don’t know when they’re coming to get me, but Gus the Wonder Pug has been stationed on the deck as a lookout. Sean Penn is coming tomorrow for an exclusive interview. #3. I had to register a

R
HENDRY | FROM PAGE 1 the 80s for principal jobs was thin, and when she saw an opening in North Dakota she jumped at the opportunity, bringing her to the northern plains state. She first worked as a principal in Beach “That was my first principalship, from ’90 to ’96,” Hendry said. From 1996 to 1999 a job moved Hendry and her family to Wyoming before accepting the elementary principal job at Hettinger, bringing her back to North Dakota. After teaching for a few years she felt that she had the qualities that would make her a good administrator. “Well I think I am a good leader, and anybody that knows me knows that I’m a very assertive person and I get things done,” Hendry said. Assertiveness and leadership are two characteristics Hendry said is required to be in an education administration position, because you need to be firm and stand on your principles. Hendry has a biology degree, and because of that she was constantly encouraged to jump from the elementary to high school, a move she didn’t want to make and never did. “I really like the elementary age, and I’ve never regretted that,” Hendry said. As an administrator she was still able to work with the students, but Hendry said the role is different. In a principal’s role Hendry was more of a guide than a teacher, she frequently visited classrooms and talked to the kids about proper behavior, while also spending recess time with them. “You get to see them, and you’re guiding them in different ways,” Hendry said. She does get some chances to teach though, when there isn’t a substitute available she would volunteer for the day. Hendry and her family came to Hettinger when their daughter was in first grade, and they made the choice to move to the area
and plant roots down and make their home in one place. Their daughter graduated from Hettinger High School. “We just made up our mind, that this was where we wanted to be,” Hendry said. It was the kids that Hendry most enjoyed about her work as an educator. She also said that one of her more prominent accomplishments and enjoyable moments was starting the first public preschool in the state. The school is still operating a decade later. Some job duties that Hendry will not miss include teacher evaluations and changes in the education system every few years. She said that after so long it is hard to evaluate teachers and find different things to come up with; and in regards to the change in curriculum— like No Child Left Behind and Common Core—Hendry said that they happen so often that there isn’t quality time to implement them before another set of curriculum comes along. As she looks to the future, Hendry and her husband Mark plan on traveling, like most retirees. But they will also be going to warmer climates during the winter and “do whatever we want to do” according to her. Hendry said she and her husband have aligned the timing of their retirement together. Mark works for Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing and will be finished with work about a month or two after she is done. Both are ready for retirement and they have a chance to finish working while they are still in good health. The two plan to travel with their daughter’s wedding approaching this fall. “I have enjoyed my career, I really have to say, it’s been a lot of ups and downs,” Hendry said. “But I think I’ve done a good, I think I’ve left every place a little better than where it was when I came in, I think I made a difference and that’s a good way to feel.”
Mott Volunteer Fire Brigade Does The Honorable Thing For Mott Clinic Campaign By Ted Uecker
WRHS Fund Dev. Officer No surprise here. But what a terrific act of selflessness in our local community -- that should not go unnoticed. The Mott Volunteer Fire Brigade has stepped to the forefront in the Mott Area Community once again. Not only do their volunteers drop whatever they are doing to hustle to the fire hall, rev up the trucks, get to the fire, and help our area public whenever needed – but they’ve also found it within their organization’s coffers to stand up for the “Mott Area Community Challenge” with a $500 gift for the “Patient Exam Room Renovations Campaign” at the West River Health Services Mott Clinic. This is a terrific community gesture – one that will not be forgotten. The Mott Volunteer Fire Brigade could use the $500 for their own equipment, jackets, boots, etc. – but they can see the importance of having a place like the Mott Clinic close to home, in case someone needs medical attention right away. It might be one of their very own volunteers that requires medical expertise, or their children, or their friends, or one of you. The Mott Area Community has rallied behind the leadership of several local citizens, businesses and organizations. It all started over a year ago when a local area citizen

gave $10,000 to the Foundation at West River Health Services and earmarked it for improvements to the WRHS Mott Clinic. West River added $5,000 and two of the patient exam rooms were completely remodeled into the 21st century. Recently this same citizen said they’d give another $5,000 – if the Mott area community would raise half a match – or $7,500. These funds would be used to remodel the remaining two exam rooms at the WRHS Mott Clinic. The Foundation began hitting the streets of Mott almost immediately thereafter, with tremendous help from Mark Resner and Aryn Dangerud from the Hettinger County Economic Development Office. The leadership of the Mott area community has risen to the occasion, spearheaded by Troy Mosbrucker and his board at the Mott City Council with a dollar for dollar match up to $5,000; Derek Mayer from WilburEllis Grain Co. with a $2,000 gift; John Fiedler and his Board of Directors at the Commercial Bank of Mott, plus a WRHS physician who stepped up with $1,000 each; and now the Mott Volunteer Fire Brigade, Erv and Donnavee Schneider at the Eido, and another Mott family with contributions of $500! The support of the Mott Community has been unbelievable! And we’re not done yet! There are still donations of all sizes rolling in, from $15-$400. Every gift received at the Foundation is considered important – no mat-
ter the amount! What’s important is that we all show our belief in the future of top- notch health care in rural Western Dakota. And Mott, North Dakota in particular. Every single cent raised for this campaign stays in Mott. Every cent raised is being put toward improvements to the WRHS Mott Clinic. Nowhere else! If we raise more than we need to renovate the remaining two patient exam rooms, we will prioritize the most important improvements we can make next. And we will tell you about it. We look forward to seeing you all at our “Mott Area Community Matching Challenge Meeting” on Monday, January 18th, 7:15 pm at the Mott Playhouse Theatre. The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. has offered to supply the refreshments and the Playhouse Theatre is providing the popcorn. And did you hear that we have “Mott-Regent Wildfire” door prizes?!! We will give you a quick overview of West River Health Services and then a thorough explanation of this “Matching Challenge.” Everyone is welcome to attend. Bring your family and friends. Thank you for supporting our efforts in the Mott area community. Our Foundation at West River Health Services is committed to becoming more involved in the future of our area satellite communities. And especially in communities where the volunteer firemen do the right thing for other community projects as well!
Scranton has close-call with FEMA over dyke By Bryce Martin
WE GOT THE NEWS FOR
adamscountyextra.com
The Scranton City Council was able to take a breath following its meeting Monday night. What was initially thought to be a requirement for the city to fund a multi-milliondollar reconstruction of its dyke turned out to be only a little more than the addition of a simple ordinance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently imposed new regulations regarding dykes nationwide. According to Scranton City Auditor Kari Ruggles, the city received information that the surrounding dyke would have to meet new criteria. “They’re saying that our dyke is inadequate and doesn’t meet their specifications,” Ruggles said Monday afternoon, prior to the city council’s further review of the matter. A creek spanning several miles through Scranton crossing the city’s golf course and through the town on the southwest edge used to flood and would wreak havoc on the town. In the 1950s, said Ruggles, a dyke was constructed and the town hasn’t flooded since. But FEMA, after changing its reg-
ulations, cited that Scranton’s dyke wasn’t high enough. Consequently, Scranton would be forced to build up the dyke at its own cost. Ruggles said the council met previously with representatives from FEMA to explain that the dyke has not caused problems. The city maintains it and it hasn’t caused any problems for residents. Building up the dyke would cost millions of dollars and would have several negative effects on the city, including properties surrounding the dyke. “There are houses in the way,” Ruggles said. “When you build it higher, it comes out further.” It would’ve caused a massive headache for the city and its residents. But Scranton was offered a reprieve during its Monday night regular meeting, when the councilors delved further into FEMA’s requirements. “(It’s) not going to be as big a deal as we thought, I think,” Ruggles said Tuesday. FEMA had re-evaluated the dyke and were simply afraid it wouldn’t hold a drastic flood. However, instead of forcing the city to pay millions of dollars — a nearly unfeasible request — it was found the city would merely have to adopt an ordinance that specifies neither FEMA nor the
city could be held responsible if the dyke doesn’t hold. But since the dyke hasn’t had a problem in the last five decades, it was a reasonable stipulation. The only change that could potentially affect residents near the creek would be those within the city’s flood plain, which covers about onequarter of the city. FEMA’s new regulations do not allow building in the flood plain unless it is two feet about flood level. Ruggles admitted that the new regulations are complicated. “There’s existing houses that have been there for a long time, if they were ever wanting to add-on or build new, they’d face more restrictions,” she said. Though, she assured things wouldn’t change much except for the establishment of additional building codes. “Anything that’s existing – if they have their house paid off, it’s not really going to change anything for that,” she said. But if somebody owns a home in the flood plain and they have a mortgage, their flood insurance would be affected. “How much? We don’t know,” she said. “That would be up to their insurance company.”

TREE FACTS – Ken Wilson receives Izaak Walton League Wildlife Habitat Award Ken Wilson, of Lemmon, SD, was selected by the South Dakota Division of the Izaak Walton League to receive the 2015 Izaak Walton League Wildlife Habitat Award. He was nominated for the award by the Perkins County Conservation District. The award was presented to him recently at the Conservation District’s regular Board Meeting in Bison, SD. The award recognizes Ken’s enthusiasm for wildlife and his efforts of creating wildlife habitat on their land, which is located west of Lemmon, SD. Ken grew up in northern Wisconsin by the Nicolet National Forest that covers more than 1.5 million acres of the “North Woods.” He became an avid hunter and wildlife enthusiast during those years growing up. However, when it came to choosing a vocation he decided on engineering, and after college started out in Chicago. He met and married his wife Mary there. They moved to Lemmon, South Dakota, after being hired as an engineer by Wheeler Manufacturing. Ken contacted the Conservation District and the NRCS about 15 years ago after purchasing some land near Lemmon. The conservation office staff

N T Y Perkins Its not the endSfor C O UKat
By BREANNA KAITFORS Record Editor
There has ben so much going on in the area concerning Kat Perkins. From viewing parties to entire towns wearing her shirts, Perkins has received nothing but endless support from her hometown and the area surrounding. Unfortunately, she did not make it to the finale of ‘The Voice,” which will air next week on NBC. Perkins performed two very unique songs on Monday night’s episode. First, the Scrantonnative performed a brave, almost operatic performance of the new song “Chandelier” by Australian singer-songwriter, Sia. Before the performance, Perkins expressed her concern about singing a pop song. During the performance, however, she hit the high notes fearlessly without missing a single one. Coach Adam Levine praised Perkins’ performance, saying she was one of the best singer’s the show has ever had.

In school, medical students learn about everything that goes on in order to have a baby. Because there are so many things happening all the time, this leaves a lot of room for things to go wrong. However, most pregnancies are perfectly healthy and normal. “It’s an exciting time in people’s lives.” Wellman said. “They always remember the birth of a child and to be able to there for that is fun.”

Over the years, Ken he has continued to make more improvements, maintain existing ones and even add more land. Other USDA programs utilized for developing habitat for wildlife benefit, are the Conservation Reserve Program and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. Wilson has turned his 264 acres in to a diverse haven for wildlife of grasses, forbs, dams, food plots and shelterbelts.

Night Hawks down Killdeer in wrestling
By Sheldon Christenson For The Record
The Night Hawks jumped out quick to a 54-0 lead after nine of the first 14 matches as they recorded six falls and received three forfeits. Quickest pin was recorded by Night Hawk Braden Kline in 29 seconds. Final score was 60-24. It was one of the quickest matches I have seen as it was over in 3540 minutes. They also won six of the eight exhibitions matches against Killdeer. It was a good tune-up match for the Night Hawk Classic that took place Jan. 8-9. Killdeer is also a fellow Region 4 team. When I had earlier researched Killdeer’s wrestling team on the NDHSAA web site, they only had eight names on their roster. They must have convinced some students to come out as the Killdeer program at the match had 18 names on it. They are a young team as out of those 18 names 11 of them are seventh through ninth graders. Former Hettinger Black Devil wrestler Patrick Schlosser is one of the

Night Hawk Classic Crown is back with the Night Hawks By Sheldon Christenson For The Record
After three years in a row of watching Moorecroft, Wyo. win the Night Hawk Classic wrestling tourney, the home team dominated the 2016 Classic to win by 31.5 points. The difference would have been higher but Night Hawk Mason DeFoe could manage only one match before having to forfeit out of the tourney due to illness at the 106 weight class. The last time the Night Hawks won was in 2012. An interesting result at the 120 weight class occurred when in the final pool play round Carlos Martinez was leading Terrell Koenig of Baker 5-2 late in the third period. Martinez kept being called for stalling and the match ended in a tie. In the overtime period Koenig ended up winning 7-5. Both moved on to the placement matches and met up again in the third place match. This time Martinez pinned Koenig in the first period. Night Hawks finishing in first place were Kyle Burwick, Alec Andress and Colbey Steeke. Dirk Wolf of LemmonMcIntosh, S.D. won the Calvin Steeke Memorial award for the weight divisions of 106-145 and Night Hawk Colbey Steeke won the Burt Berg Memorial award for the weight divisions of 152-285. The top five teams were: Night Hawks - 293.5 Moorecroft - 262 Watford City - 204.5 Lemmon-McIntosh 183.5 Bowman-Beach - 165 There was also a junior varsity portion of the tourney and the following is how the Night Hawks did: JV 106B - Josh Dix’s place is 4th JV 113 - Ezra Wiechmann’s place is 3rd JV 113 - Brandon Jarrett’s place is 3rd JV 126 - Matt Lucas’s place is 4th JV 160 - Damon Corne-

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
Eye on Southwest N.D. Sports By Sheldon Christenson For The Record The NDSU Bison football team made it five in a row as FCS champs by downing top-seeded Jacksonville St., 37-10. Can number “six” be on the horizon? Sad news in the North Dakota high school coaching world as legendary high school basketball coach Ed Beyer died in a Fargo hospital on Jan. 10. He was 77. Beyer coached the Hillsboro High School boys basketball team for 37 years, retiring after the 1997 season. He had a 688-195 won-loss mark at Hillsboro. That was a state record for boys basketball coaching wins until Dan Carr of Linton broke the record recently. A few interesting scores from the past week. Trin-
ity had a rough week and the two losses knocked them down four spots to #8 in the latest Class B poll. Shiloh jumped to #3. #1 Our Redeemer’s 60 #4 Dickinson Trinity 58 #6 Shiloh Christian 79 Oak Grove 66 Oak Grove 61 - #4 Dickinson Trinity 60 #6 Shiloh Christian 50 #1 Our Redeemer’s 37 A few comments from head coach Jeremy Dietchman on boys basketball team after the loss to Trinity: “The Trinity game was a tough, hard fought game. I was very proud of the effort of all 3 squads. Trinity is a well coached team and they play with tremendous effort. We had some trouble scoring the basketball, you have to credit Trinity for most of that, but we have some adjustments that we will make. Playing games like this one makes us better down the road. The boys understand that the season is a marathon, not a sprint. The basket-
ball season is a process and we have to respect the process to achieve our ultimate goals.” In a game I couldn’t make until half time, the Night Hawk boys basketball team suffered another loss. This time to Beulah by a score of 69-56 on Jan. 12. They were down by as much as 20 points in the first half before cutting it down to a 15 point deficit at half time. The Night Hawks turned it on in the second half and got to within two points twice before Beulah made another run late. From what I saw, turnovers and missed free throws hurt them. The Night Hawk girls basketball team lost their last two games to Glen Ullin-Hebron, 53-28, and to Killdeer, 53-32. Both are Region 7 teams and dropped the Night Hawks to 0-3 in the Region. In an earlier column I had noted that LemmonMctintosh’s wrestling team may have a lean year but it seems they may bet-
ter than I thought. In the latest SD rankings the team is ranked number 12 in Class B with six wrestlers ranked in the top 12 in their weight class. Dylan Wolf, 11th at 106; Dirk Wolf, 1st at 126; Wyatt Huffman, 12th at 132; Duell Tomac, 11th at 170; Braydon Peterson, 4th at 220; and Brandon Heil, 10th at 285. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - 15-16 Jan. 15-16, Varsity Wrestling Tourney at Miles City - Jan. 16, Girls & Boys JV and Varsity Basketball at Bison - Jan. 19, Girls Varsity Basketball Scranton at Trinity - Jan. 19, Boys Varsity Basketball at Mandaree - Jan. 21, Girls Varsity Basketball vs Hazen at Hettinger - Jan. 22, Boys Varsity Basketball at Hazen - Jan. 22-23, Varsity Wrestling at Moorecroft, Wyo. See you at the games!
Weekly Vikings Roundup By Jordan Wright For The Record
Wide left. That’s all you will be hearing about this upcoming week, but there were plenty more reasons why the Seahawks beat the Vikings 10-9 on Sunday. Offensively the Vikings were unable to get much going, but that was to be expected. With temperatures as low as six below, and Seattle having one of the best defenses in the league, nobody was expecting Minnesota to have a great day on offense. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater outplayed Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson in almost every statistical category except for the one that truly mattered, touchdowns. Bridgewater did what he needed to do and didn’t have any mistakes, which is impressive considering the circumstances. Running back Adrian Peterson received 23 carries, but was only able to muster 45 yards. Unfortunately, Peterson’s fumble was just as big of a reason for the Vikings loss as Blair Walsh’s missed kick. In addition to the fumble, it appeared that Peterson’s final run was supposed to go to the right, which is Walsh’s preferred side to kick from, but Peterson bounced it to the left trying to get more yards.
Wideout Stefon Diggs led the Vikings in targets (6) receptions (4) and yards (26), but it was Kyle Rudolph who stepped up when the Vikings needed it the most. If Seattle has a weakness defensively, it is covering tight ends down the seam. I was curious as to why the Vikings were not taking advantage of that, but perhaps they were saving it until they needed it the most. On the last drive of the day for the Vikings, Rudolph was able to draw a pass interference penalty before catching a 24 yard reception to put the Vikings into field goal range. Defensively, the Vikings did a much better job of limiting Russell Wilson and company when compared to the last game these two teams played. With no Marshawn Lynch or Thomas Rawls, it was up to Wilson and Seattle’s receivers to carry the offense. However, it was the Vikings defense that got the better of them, limiting Wilson to only 142 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Everson Griffen was all over the place, racking up six tackles, four quarterback hits and a sack. Eric Kendricks led the team with eight tackles, and even more impressively, was tied for the team lead with two passes broken up. Terence Newman left the game early with an injury, opening the door for first round pick Trae Waynes to see some playing time and he didn’t disappoint. Wilson attempted to pick on Waynes many times, but Waynes held his own
and was far from a liability on the field. Special teams will be the unit that is scrutinized the most, but that’s not entirely fair. Blair Walsh scored every point for the Vikings and was the reason they were in the ball game. Jeff Locke put the ball down with the laces facing the kicker a couple times today, but that was the plan coming into the game since the frozen field would make it very difficult to spin the ball successfully. There is no doubt Blair Walsh should have been able to make that field goal, but had the offense scored a touchdown instead of a field goal on any of their previous drives, the Vikings wouldn’t have been in that spot to begin with. The player of the game for me is Blair Walsh. Now give me a chance to explain before you come after me with torches and pick forks! Walsh scored every point for the Vikings, finishing the game three of four on field goal attempts on a day when it was below zero for most of the game (making the ball much more difficult to kick). Walsh was also booting the ball well into the end zone on kickoffs, which was huge because Seattle is one of the best return teams in the NFL. Walsh only allowed Tyler Lockette to return one kickoff for 12 yards. On a day when it should have come down to the running game and defense, it was Walsh who kept the Vikings in the game, and that is why he is my player of the
game. The player who needs the most improvement is T.J. Clemmings, who has consistently been bad the entire season and was the Vikings’ lowest rated offensive player according to Pro Football Focus. I was lenient on Clemmings throughout the season, since he is a rookie and was expected to sit behind Phil Loadholt. But after four preseason and 16 regular season games, time for excuses are at an end. After going back and watching the tape, it was clear Seattle was going after Clemmings. To me, he is the biggest reason the Vikings lost the game. Looking ahead, the Vikings are in great shape. This is a very young team that doesn’t project to lose any great players and will be getting help along the offensive line when Sullivan and Loadholt come back. Defensively, this team is very good and should only get better as the younger players get more experience. It was not a fluke that Minnesota finished the season 11-5 and the NFC North champions. Sure, there were some embarrassing losses (San Francisco and Seattle), but there was a lot more to be positive about. I am sad that the season is over, but like every Vikings fan knows all too well, there’s always next year!

GION | FROM PAGE 1 program, including Gov. Jack Dalrymple and his staff. Also attending was the entire North Dakota Supreme Court, something Dalrymple jokingly said is not a usual practice. “Jim, it’s not every investiture that I bring along the entire Supreme Court,” Dalrymple said. Three current judges from around the state, along with surrogate judge Zane Anderson, also attended the event. Dalrymple was the first to remark on Gion, saying it was an honor to be able to present to the crowd on this occasion. “What a great honor it is for me, and a privilege for Jim to congratulate you,” Dalrymple said. “It’s a proud moment for a lot of people, not just yourself (Gion).” Dalrymple joked that it was a ‘low risk’ appointment on his part, and cited Gion’s time as a state’s attorney around the region that will help him succeed in his new position. “Jim you have all the qualifications that we look for, no question about that,” Dalrymple said. “I want to add that there is one extra intangible thing that I think is important and that is your familiarity and passion to your community, to the people that you will be judging in the upcoming years.” Justice Daniel J. Crothers was the second guest to remark on Gion and his appointment. The two are friends as they attended law school in the same class at the University of North Dakota. Anecdotes and kind words filled Crothers’ speech, and through his speech Crothers gave the crowd a view of Gion during his law school days. It was a good moment for two long-time friends, sharing old stories with the crowd about the past; and it was especially nice to be able to share it at a time when both are at the top of their careers after nearly three decades. Crothers also noted that there are currently seven sitting North Dakota
judges that were members of the same law school class. Following Crothers’ speech, Gion was asked to come forward and receive his robe. Presenting the regalia were his wife and son, a picturesque moment for the family. Elizabeth Ebert, President of the Southwest Judicial District Bar Association presented Gion with his Gavel. For the final part of the ceremony, Chief Justice Gerald W. VandeWalle said a few remarks and with Gion standing up front recited the Oath of Office. Holding the Bible was his father, Jim, and his mother, Marie. As the words came out, Gion became emotional. Gion spoke following the oath, making sure to thank as many people as he could that have effected his life. He mentioned in particular his brother-in-law, John Seuss, who encouraged him as a young man to enter law school. Gion didn’t mince words, letting his emotions hang on his sleeve throughout his speech. “I will stammer and stumble, I will rule with regret, I will be commended and I will also be condemned by people that appear before me. But I will guarantee that I will give my upmost to be worthy of the title judge,” Gion said. Gion finished his speech with a personal promise to the people: “I’m embarking on a new journey, a new trail, and very humbled and grateful. My intention is that I will be the best judge that I can possibly be. I will listen carefully, I will judge impartially, and I really want to reward everybody’s confidence in me. I’m going to do this job, so help me God.” Following the ceremony, everyone gathered in the lobby of the courtroom for refreshments, giving everyone the chance to personally congratulate the new judge on his appointment.
