Group developing regional buffalo tour

A YEAR IN REVIEW

Reeder business expanding By COLE BENZ

Record Editor It’s expansion time for Dalton Mellmer and his business, Northern Auto and Diesel. The Reeder-based mechanic is currently constructing a new addition to the east side of his already existing building, and Mellmer said it’s the right time

to grow. “I’m just adding on,” Mellmer said. “I needed something bigger.” Mellmer completed his education at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton in January 2015 and began to rebuild a business his father previously ran for 30 years. And after more than a year and a half heading operations, he said that

he hopes to get more efficient at his processes. The new addition will be a 42-foot by 112-foot structure with two access points. One 16foot door will open to the south, with another 24-foot wide and 18-foot tall on another side with an approach. It will have 21-foot sidewalls. With the dimensions

By ABBIGALE STEEKE FFA Reporter

The Scranton FFA chapter left on Sunday, Oct. 16 in the early morning, very excited for the week to come. They would experience seven days of agricultural tours, FFA, and the chance to meet several other FFA members from around the state as well as the entire country. The members attending from the Scranton FFA were Jordan Dilse, Seth Olson, Andrew Sulzman, Jaxon Mellmer, Abbigale Steeke, Quinn Mellmer, Abi Sulzman, Sam Oase, Casitee Miller, Kaitlyn Bartholomy, Elizabeth Bartholomy, and Ebony Musonda.

On our way to Indianapolis, we toured so many places. We toured a cattle feedlot in Iowa, the John Deere Pavilion, Hummel Livestock cat and goat farm, and Fair Oaks dairy and pig farm. At the feedlot, we looked at their feed rations and equipment, their mechanic shop, and all their cattle on feed. The John Deere Pavilion was very neat to see even if you are not a John Deere fan. There was a self-driven tractor, huge equipment, and educational games. At Hummel Livestock we saw where they breed domesticated cats with wild cats to create a hybrid. They are sold to many overseas buyers. Fair Oaks dairy and pig farm is set up for agricultural advocacy for the public. We

saw a carousal dairy parlor, pig farrowing facilities and even ate some amazing cheese. Along with all the other excitement we can’t forget that we attended sessions at the 89th Annual National FFA Convention. They put on a laser show introducing all the states for the opening reflection ceremony. We also heard from many motivational speakers such as Colin Ryan, retiring addresses from National Secretary Nick Baker, National President Taylor McNeal, and National Eastern Vice President Sydney Snider. The convention was very exciting and lots to see. There was so much to do and so little time so we are all hoping to attend the convention again!!!

Hettinger High School gears up for one-act play contest Submitted By

Jeri Dunn/HHS Eleven high school students have been cast as the comedic thespians in this year’s one-act play. We will take the comedy-mystery to the Region X Contest at Dickinson State University on Thursday, Nov. 10. However, before that, we plan to have two public performances on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The first will be during school and begin at 12:45 p.m. (before the early dismissal for a teacher writing workshop). The second public performance will be at 7:00 p.m., also on the Roberts-Reinke Auditorium stage.

We would like to thank the ministerial association for their understanding of our need to use Wednesday night as our girls’ volleyball team members will be unavailable other nights for performances. “Uninvited Ghost” was written by Le Roma Greth, a playwright known for her comedies, and was originally published in 1949 and then renewed in 1966. If you see our interpretation of her play, you will see that it is timeless in its plot…and, of course, perfect for this time of year! The plot is based on a group of students who have an ulterior motive for being in a haunted house, a young couple who have ulterior motives for wishing to

view the same house which is up for sale and a couple of other cast members you have to “see to believe”! Our cleverly written oneact mystery stars the following seniors: McKenna Poss, Elli Kaitfors, Jordan Hill, Sam Reuther, Tayler Burwick, Damon Cornelius and Alec Andress. Constituting the rest of the cast are junior Ethan Dupper, sophomore Anna Kludt, and freshmen Emily Shirek and Kelby Pemberton. Our lighting specialist will again be Henry Hanson, and our back-stage manager is Miami Pekas. Because of the renovations to the school and equipment added to the stage, we have had to over-

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

FBLA hosts annual carnival By COLE BENZ

Record Editor The Hettinger FBLA Chapter hosted their annual carnival on Saturday, Oct. 29 in the Hettinger High School Gymnasium. Planning for the event took roughly two weeks, with senior officers Tayler Burwick, Brianna Robinson, and McKenna Poss spearheading the event, they spent time organizing and gathering prizes. Setting the event up and taking it down took a few hours thanks to multiple club members. Rain brought in the crowd from outside. According to Don Smith, FBLA Advisor, about 50 kids showed up for the carnival in costume. Many adults accompanied them and watched as the kids enjoyed games and took part in the parade. Smith said about 30 FBLA members helped to make the event a success. At the event, attendees participated in football throw, basketball shoot, fishing, wheel of fortune,

The event was two hours and Smith said they will be holding it again next year.

Baesler praises ND student performance in National Science Exam North Dakota Superintendent Kirsten Baesler said the state’s fourth and eighth graders ranked in the top five among states in a science exam given as part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress. North Dakota’s fourth and eighth graders scored well above the national average on the exam, Baesler said Thursday. The NAEP, which is known as the Nation’s Report Card, is given in almost all of the 50 states. It is intended to provide a nationally representative report on student achievement in science, math and reading. The science exam, which covered earth and space sciences, physical science and life science, was given last year to 2,400 North Dakota fourth graders and 2,300 eighth graders. Nationally, it was given to 115,400 fourth graders and 110,900 eighth graders in 46 states. The 2015 NAEP science test results were released Thursday. “I think it’s a true testimony to the hard work that our students are doing in their classrooms, and to the hard work that our teachers are doing with our students to enable them to really grow and achieve at such high academic levels,” Baesler said. Among fourth graders, the average science exam score was 161, compared to a national average of 153,

Baesler said. Exam results for eighth graders were the same, with an average score of 161 and a national average of 153. North Dakota’s 161 score for fourth and eighth graders ranked in the top five among states, with New Hampshire and Virginia sharing the No. 1 spot. Among eighth graders, Utah was first, with a top average score of 166. The test results showed significant improvement for North Dakota’s Native American fourth graders,

who saw their average score jump from 135 in 2009 to 145 in 2015, Baesler said. The National Assessment of Educational Progress science exam was last given to fourth graders in 2009. It was last administered to eighth graders in 2011. Comprehensive data on the NAEP science results can be found https://nces. ed.gov/nationsreportcard/ at the National Center for Education Statistics website: https://nces.ed.gov/ nationsreportcard/.

but they won’t consider seeking money until a project cost is decided. “We don’t have a price tag

on it yet,” McIntyre said. He said a hurdle they have yet to jump over is the handicap access to the monument, that will be a large part of determining the cost of the project. The group has commissioned a sketch of the

prospective project. Dan Boxrud, of The Graphic Attic in Hettinger drew out what the space could look like when it’s completed. McIntyre told The Record that he hoped the project would be finished within the next year.

Bobby Vee That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

It seems like everyone in North Dakota has a Bobby Vee story. It’s hard to believe there has ever been a more downto-earth and accessible pop star. He was genuine and generous with his time, and you got the feeling he made everyone he met feel like you were his newest friend. When Bobby died last week, the memories came flooding back. I was a young disc jockey at KQDJ in Jamestown when I met him in the early 1980’s. He was bringing a show to town with Tommy Roe, famous for hit songs like “Dizzy” and “Sweat Pea”, and the late Dee Clark, a gem of a man with a majestic, soaring voice. He had a monster smash with “Raindrops” and “Hey Little Girl (In the High School Sweater),” among other hits in the early 1960’s. I got the assignment of interviewing them all by phone. Assignment! This was a gift from Rock and Roll Heaven. But I was nervous. I remember the sense of wonder and appreciation Bobby had for his own story. He understood he was a child of destiny, thrust on stage at 15—his first performance ever—as one of those filling the void and a stage in Moorhead, Minn., days after the music died outside of Clear Lake, Iowa, in a plane crash that took the lives of

Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. Sure, we talked about his hits—38 Top 40 gems like “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,” “Rubber Ball,” “Run to Him,” and the list goes on. What struck me was his sense of joy and humility as he related stories of some remarkable intersections in his life. Like the busboy in Fargo that Bobby’s brother brought into the band, a piano player who knew three chords and could only play them in “C.” “He called himself Elston Gunnn... Three N’s!” He laughed at the absurdity of it. Well, Mr. Gunnn (a.k.a. Robert Zimmerman) didn’t have a piano, most of the venues they played didn’t either, so his history with the band was short-lived. But, some years later in New York (I think), having heard about this new rock and roll poet, a voice of a generation, an intrigued Bobby Vee and friends went to see this legend in the making. The spotlight went on and out walked the troubadour. “We started elbowing each other,” Bobby laughed. “Hey, it’s Zimmerman!” And then he laughed some more. His old friend had made it big. Bobby Vee was pretty big, himself. He talked about touring Europe as one of the headliners in a bus with all the other acts. On the undercard was a rowdy little quartet of Liverpudlians named The Beatles. “John and Paul would have fistfights on the bus!” he remembered. And he laughed some more. I sat backstage with Bobby, Tommy Roe and Dee Clark that night. Tommy tried to talk me into going out when he was announced.

In retrospect, I knew all the words to “Dizzy.” Dee Clark dedicated a song to me— “Portrait of My Love”—that he remembered from our conversation was my favorite of his songs. In our bull session backstage, I realized what was happening here. Bobby Vee was the catalyst that brought great but forgotten performers like Tommy Roe and Dee Clark back to the spotlight, putting money in their pockets and more importantly, reminding the audience of their talent. I didn’t see much of Bobby. He was the stage manager that night, directing traffic, making sure the show was seamless. He had his game face on, a consummate pro, and I saw then that his success had been no fluke. He had earned his place in rock and roll history. I listened to some of Bobby’s songs after hearing that he had died at 73 of Alzheimer’s. What a sweet, smooth voice. You can hear an homage to Buddy Holly in his phrasing from time to time. In 2013, when Elston Gunnn played in St. Paul, he told the crowd about his old friend. “I’ve played with everybody from Mick Jagger to Madonna, but the most beautiful person I’ve ever been on stage with is Bobby Vee.” And then Bob Dylan played “Suzie Baby,” Bobby’s first hit. I proudly kept Bobby Vee’s phone number in my Rolodex. I called it just one time and that was to get his address to return a couple of albums he had sent the radio station to use to promote the concert. I got an answering machine. I still have the records; I have a framed autographed show bill on my wall. Somewhere in the garage, in one of the boxes of reel to reel tapes, is a recording of a green radio announcer and the guy who made his first big interview so easy. I don’t need to listen to it. Don’t know that I ever will. I’ve got my memories. © Tony Bender, 2016 Tony Bender is the former Editor of the Adams County Record and current President of Redhead Publishing in Ashley, ND.

Congratulations to Danial Burkhalter from Prairie City for his second consecutive win in the state Cross Country meet at Huron last Saturday. Danial is on Bison’s Cross Country team and the Cardinal boys finished third in the state. Casey and Taz joined the crew at the Hackamore Monday to help Doll’s ship their steer calves. Bryce went back to college after coming home to be a sponsor for little Trace’s baptism on Sunday. She went to Buffalo to cast her absentee ballot at the courthouse on her way back to Chadron. She’s disgusted with several of her classmates who not only are NOT going to vote, but aren’t even registered to vote because they don’t think the election has any effect on their lives. Sad. Tuesday was a beautiful day to work outside, so Taz went up to help Uncle Sage build on his house west of Hettinger. Casey took his horse trailer to Northwest Auto in Reeder to get new tires put on. Heidi Melmer brought a delicious scalloped potato and sausage lunch to feed the guys at noon. Tuesday evening was the first football playoff game between Harding County and Faith. A huge crowd from Buffalo and Faith came to watch the game and enjoyed the warm weather immensely. Harding County won 50 to 12 and will play again this Monday in Buffalo. Coyotes killed an ewe just west of here up on Dead Man Butte Tuesday night, so Casey went hunting the guilty parties early Wednesday morning. He managed to kill five coyotes and a fox, saw

two other coyotes and was able to shoot one of them, but it was gone when he went back to check on it. Hopefully it’s dead too. Taz helped Sage put in floor joints on the second floor of his house Tuesday and they certainly had beautiful weather to work in. Wednesday was another nice day so Taz went back up to help Sage on the house again. After he was done hunting coyotes, Casey spent the rest of the day hauling stuff to the dump and Reub spent all day piling up dead trees and branches at Glendo to burn this winter after the ground is covered with snow. There are three deaths to report this week. Robyn Holzkamm, age 23, who grew up north of Bucyrus, was killed in an automobile accident last Thursday and her funeral was this Friday in Hettinger. Ernest “Ernie” Kari, age 96, a longtime Bison businessman, passed away last Saturday and his funeral was held Thursday in Bison. Ernie was buried with military honors at the Black Hills National Cemetery in Sturgis. Former South Dakota Sen. Richard “Dick” Waddell, age 94, of Isabel passed away last Thursday at the Mobridge Regional Hospital. Graveside services were held Monday at the Hillview Cemetery. Our sympathy goes out to these families. Thursday morning Casey and Taz went up to help Rone Jenson pour a heated concrete floor in his shop. Besides these guys and Rone’s crew, Bill Holt, Heath Hafner, Todd Anderson, and Paul Thomas Palczewski were also there to help. They finished half the floor by late afternoon and all of them came back to finish the job on Friday. Rone and the guys are really going to enjoy working in the shop on that heated floor this winter. Janice Peck broke her hip last week in Colorado. After having surgery, we were happy to hear that she is out of the hospital and home at her daughter Shirley’s. Gert Kooiman is in the Hettinger hospital with pneumonia. Please keep these two wonderful women in your prayers.

18TH ANNUAL CARING ROSE WEEK NOVEMBER / 7-12 / 2016

The presidential election is coming soon with a contest between four of the most contentious and controversial candidates in recent memory. We have to choose between a thinskinned television celebrity, a former Secretary of State that will probably be indicted for criminal activity soon, a clueless Libertarian, and a Green candidate who was recently arrested for vandalism in North Dakota. I agree with a young man on the news the other night who said, “I remember when Halloween was the scariest night of the year. Now, it’s election night!” On that happy note, I’ll leave you with this Halloween joke: Two guys left the bar after a long night of drinking on Halloween, jumped in the car and started it up. After a couple of minutes, an old man appeared in the passenger window and tapped lightly. The passenger screamed, “Look at the window. There’s an old ghost’s face there!” The driver sped up, but the old man’s face stayed in the window. The passenger rolled his window down part way and, scared out of his wits, said, “What do you want?” The old man softly replied, “You got any tobacco?” The passenger handed the old man a cigarette and yelled, “step on it,” to the driver, rolling up the window in terror. A few minutes later they calmed down and started laughing again. The driver said, “I don’t know what happened, but don’t worry; the speedometer says we’re doing 80 now.” All of a sudden there was a light tapping on the window and the old man reappeared. “There he is again,” the passenger yelled. He rolled down the window and shakily said, “Yes?” “Do you have a light?” the old man quietly asked. The passenger threw a lighter out the window saying, “step on it!” They were driving about 100 miles an hour, trying to forget what they had just seen and heard, when all of a sudden there came some more tapping. “Holy cow! He’s back!” The passenger rolled down the window and screamed in stark terror, “WHAT NOW?” The old man gently replied, “You want some help getting out of the mud?” Betty Olson is a South Dakota rancher and state legislator for District 28.

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY

Vote No On Marcy’s Law

The criminal justice system in the United States is, by design, adversarial. On one side, there are the advocates for the people in the form of the City Attorney, District Attorney, State’s Attorney, and US Attorney. The job of that that person is to take the facts and evidence gathered by law enforcement and hold individuals accountable for their actions. On the other side, there are the Defense attorneys, whose job it is to make sure that the fundamental rights we all have as citizens of the United States are upheld, protected, and honored. Often, the interactions between Prosecutors and Defense attorneys are frigid at best and can sometimes be downright hostile. So, if there are ever occasions on which both sides unanimously agree on something, I believe it is significant and we should take notice. If there is an issue which unites both sides into a chorus with a single voice, that voice should be heard. The chorus of voices of the attorneys in the State of North Dakota have joined together and are singing a resounding “NO!” to the proposed Constitutional Amendment changes being brought forth to the voters in Measure 3, or “Marsy’s Law”. Speaking of the chorus, it has been widely reported that Measure 3 is moving forward with the support of the Law Enforcement Community. Particularly

vocal among that sector is Burleigh County Sheriff Pat Heinert. Sheriff Heinert and the supporters for Measure 3 proudly proclaim that on February 4th the North Dakota Sheriff ’s Association voted to support the amendment, which shows that law enforcement stands behind the changes proposed. The fact of the matter is that the vote on February 4, 2016 by the North Dakota Sheriff ’s Association was an endorsement by a handful of the members of that board and support for Measure 3 is far from unanimous in the law enforcement community. Our own Sheriff, Travis Collins, stands with me in opposition to the Measure and the overarching implications it brings. To be certain, this law comes draped in a noble cause, protecting victims. The fact of the matter is, however, that this law will do little to increase protections and may, in fact, lead to a decrease in the ability of our criminal justice system to help those who need it. Resources with be diverted from investigations, trial preparation, and research. The trial dockets will become further overburdened by cases which cannot be concluded because of witnesses whom are unavailable or unwilling to cooperate. At the end of the day, raising these provisions, the vast majority of which already exist in our current Century Code, to the level of a Constitutional

right is the wrong move for North Dakota and will have long lasting and detrimental implications. A few weeks ago, I submitted a Letter to the Editor which was penned by JR Kerzmann, McLean County Sheriff, David Lindell, Attorney for the McLean County Family Resource Center, Jenell Olson, Director of the McLean County Family Resource Center, and Ladd Erickson, the McLean County State’s Attorney. In that letter, the above describe the problems with Marsy’s Law including the fact that it’s not needed (there are already laws on the books which proscribe many of the provisions of the amendment) and the cost (nearly $4,000,000 per biennium). I am writing this letter to raise my voice above the chorus and unequivocally urge you, as a voter in Adams County, to vote NO ON MEASURE 3. I am making this plea as an attorney, as a prosecutor, and as a citizen. Very rarely has an issue come along in which all sides of a profession are united. Measure 3 is such an issue. Prosecutors are against it. Defense Attorney’s are against it, Victims Advocacy Groups are against it. Many in Law Enforcement are against it. You should be against it too. Please, vote no on Measure 3. Truly and Sincerely, Aaron Roseland Adams Co. State’s Attorney

Halliday Cows Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist

Hello, I don’t go to music concerts. Oh, I went to Buck Owens once at the Minot Municipal Auditorium. But I think that was in 64 or 5. And I did hear Kenny Rogers once, but he was playing in a casino lounge in Las Vegas. But there is a Canadian singer I listen to once in awhile. Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans. I enjoy him because my grandsons can play air guitar and sing many of his songs. He sings of ranches, oil wells, cows, and trucks getting stuck. Things I know well. Now what made me think of Corb this morning is one of his songs. It’s called “You Got to Have Cows Around”. It’s a song that kind of tells what it’s like to have cows. You are late to dates or meetings because the cows are out. He sings of the constant problems that live with a cowboy 24 hours a day. For instance, lately we have been gathering cows up on Hans Creek. We are better riders than we are fencers so the cows have a pretty good scatter on them. Our motto is “as long as they have grass and water, we don’t care where they are”. Now I don’t know where some are, but I know where many aren’t. It’s gotten to be kind of a habit I guess, but when we make a successful gather and get a few cows, we stop for dinner in Halliday at

O’Brien’s. We grab a quick pizza and beer and talk about how good we did. A few days ago we gathered two cows. One kind, sensible cow, and one wild, crazy cow. I don’t know how they ever became friends. I guess friendships can be like that. Will and I stopped for a beer and pizza. And talked about how good we were to get these two cows gathered up in the trailer. We finished our quick lunch and walked out of the bar. As we turned the corner to the pickup, our congratulatory celebration came to a heart stopping halt! The last calf was just jumping out of the trailer! Someone had turned out cows out in town! Really! Our morning’s work was walking down a street. We quickly unloaded our colts and were in hot pursuit. Beings one cow was wild and one was tame exasperated the problem. The wild one crossed the bridge over Spring Creek and headed for Twin Buttes at a lope. The tame one began grazing along the creek and didn’t want to cross the bridge. By the time we got the tame one across, the wild one was a mile north and covering ground. When I caught up with her she, along with her calf, jumped a fence and headed west. I

found a gate and followed her. But by the time I got through that gate, she had jumped the next fence and headed northwest! And that is what happened for the next hour. She would run though a fence. I would find a gate and she would be through the next fence. Six fences! Five miles! My colt was playing out. As was this old fat man. Then she made a mistake. She stopped by Cliff ’s place. Cliff is an old cowboy that can think like a cow. He was out fencing and spotted our problem. And he had eight armed men from Minnesota helping him. They were camped by his grain bins hunting pheasants. Between Neal from Minnesota, Cliff the old calf roper, Will the cowboy, and myself, we got the escapee captured. She did beat Will up a little before we got her loaded, but all in all it was a successful hunt. As my granddaughter Gracy used to say, “I made some new friends”! And we learned a valuable life lesson. Don’t celebrate too early if you have cows around! Later, Dean Dean Meyer is a former state legislator and currently ranches in southwest North Daktoa. He has been a featured columnist around the state for many years.

Peter Martin, 58

Beloved family ‘leaderof-the-band’, Peter Lynn Martin, CIS (Computer Informations Systems) instructor, and gentle human being, loving husband to Stacie Anfinson and devoted, encouraging father to Haley and Ariana Martin, passed away at home, 6:30 p.m., Sept. 8, 2016 from a massive heart attack. He had been in severe pain for several months from pancreatic cancer, but he had been in remission, and the cancer didn’t prevent him from riding his 3-wheeled bicycle in the Hettinger 4th of July parades, singing professionally, arranging for Emmanuel Presbyterian Choirs (Phoenix), returning full-time to Scottsdale Community College, teaching January and August 2016 semesters, and singing at SCC recent com-

OBITUARIES mencements. Simply put, Peter was about His Father’s business, enjoying what he did best: i.e. helping others. Peter was born July 13, 1958 in Kensal, N.D. to Doc and Dora (Wolsky) Martin. He was fourth of five siblings ( Jonathan, Timothy, Michael, Peter, Tamara) and he credited his loving, educated, medically and musically- inclined family for stellar family memories, for the compassion his parents mentored and he, in turn, ingrained, and for the music he had in his soul. Peter grew up in Medina, N.D., becoming a quality athlete (basketball), starred musician (Medina, All-State, Valley City State College, Medora Musical), composer, arranger, and thespian (Medora Musical, VCSC, Miss North Dakota Pageants). He attended NDSU, Fargo (completed credits/coursework in Computer Science) and graduated from Valley City State College (1980: B.S. Math/Education, minors in Physical Ed. and Driver’s Ed). Pete used these interests to become a basketball coach, math teacher and driver’s ed. coach (New Salem, ND) and YMCA basketball coach, Scottsdale, Ariz. (“Mr. Martin”); and a Burning Hill Singer, Medora (1979-1980) where he met Stacie…it was love-at-firstdance, and the singing never stopped. They were married Nov. 27, 1982, Hettinger, at the Hettinger Lutheran Church (a place he returned, upon hearing news he had months to live, to drive and donate a complete church bell system from EPC, Emmanuel Presb. Church, Phoenix) and give a family bell concert July 2015). “Bold, reliable, supportive and faithful” would be words to describe Peter Martin. Stacie and Peter moved to Arizona in 1984. Peter became a programmer/ analyst for TRW (Phoenix), Anfinson’s Inc.,(Hettinger/ Dickinson, ND), Dynacomp (Phoenix), and Circuit City (Phoenix/Scottsdale). He foundeded S.A. Prods in 1984 and, as “the leader of the band,” created musical productions statewide, from Scottsdale Christian School to Laguna Elementary (Scottsdale); Pope John Catholic School (Phoenix); ASU Alumni Assoc. (Tempe), Concordia Cobber Alumni Assoc. (Tempe, AZ/ Moorhead, MN) etc. Peter was a musical favorite at innumerable nursing homes, street dances, assisted living centers, weddings, funerals, birthdays, happy hours, pageants and other civic celebrations. His favorite childhood memory was singing with his brothers, sister and parents, and this turned into professionally directing and singing for a number of churches (Glass & Garden, Scottsdale; Unity of Tempe; Emmanuel Presbyterian, Phoenix) and bands big (“Phantom of the Opera,” Phoenix; Sun Bowl Amphitheater, Sun City; Applause Productions, etc.) and small (Delander Choraleers, Dickens’ Singers, Phoenix etc.) , saying he was “lucky enough to call Hettinger’s Cowboy band members ‘colleagues’ and ‘dear friends’.” Peter’s truest, happiest, and proudest joys were daughters Haley Lynn (3/15/90) and Ariana Annette (4/12/95). He held their hand from birth (including hitchhiking during a March blizzard from Newell, S.D. to get to Haley’s Hettinger Hospital birth…yes, seriously), to performing at their schools (Hettinger/ Scottsdale), and he attended every graduation, walking both Haley and Ariana across the stage at Scottsdale Community College. He was behind the videocamera at every possible family event (karate, Tae Kwon Do, gymnastics, swim team, dance recitals, pageants, basketball, soccer, softball, campouts, etc) and was the girls’ “#1 Fan.” He loved to travel

with his family, and considered Star Meadows, Mont. his spiritual home. He also loved the harsh beauty of the Sonoran desert, planting, xeriscaping, and tending to Nature. At his Scottsdale home he created a “kindness zone” for anyone to “come in, set a spell, and stay if you like,” and the AnfinsonMartins became a host family to students worldwide. He enjoyed playing flute, native flute, tuba, alto sax, keyboard, piano and guitar, even the didgeridoo (yes, seriously), as well as composing songs for children to remember their homework (example, “The Rock Song,” “The Continent Song,” “The State/Capitols Song”etc.) and mentoring cheerful determination (“Cheer Up, “Little Bitty Smile” “Star Meadows Medley” etc. etc). Favorite PLMartin arrangements include his versions of “Circle of Life,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Mustang Sally,” “The Star Spangled Banner” and “Sentimental Journey” (the latter being arrangements he joyously created and performed, for AZ’s Wing Aviation Museum (Mesa), as well as many of Hettinger’s 4th of July concerts. Peter was a jolly guy, infectiously positive to all around him, but the pancreatic cancer had stripped away so much quality and wellbeing from his life that his past heart condition seems one of God’s darker blessings Through it all, however, Peter remained resolute, rational, hopeful, and hid the pain in favor of creating good memories (such as donating time to Feed My Starving Children when he could no longer, barely walk). One, recent, memorable phrase from a man we’d come to appreciate and respect deeply: “Peter Martin is a consummate gentleman.” (Dr. Halepota, oncologist). Mostly to be remembered and emulated was Peter’s humble, determined courage and dignity, his Christian stewardship, respectability, professionalism and above all, consistently good humor and positive spin (who can forget his meticulously crafted, out-of-the-box, zany Halloween costumes, culminating in an SCC CIS instructor tradition?). Peter is preceded in death by his parents (Dr. Clarence S. Martin and Dora Elsie [Wolsky], Kensal, N.D./ Medina, N.D./Whitefish, Mont.); and his nephew Aaron Martin. In bereavement includes brothers and sisters-in-law Jonathan and Alice Martin (Great Falls, Mont.); Timothy and Dr. Irene Martin (Star Meadows, Mont.), Michael and Sandy Martin (Yakima, Wash.); and sister/nephew Tamera and Josh (Butte, Mont.). He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins country-wide, as well as mother-in-law Verna Anfinson and brother-in-law Jon Anfinson, Hettinger. A Burial-of-ashes funeral service will be held July 4, 2017, at the Hettinger Cemetery, 4 p.m., with Pastor John Lewis (Hettinger Baptist Church) presiding. All family and friends of the Anfinson – Martin families are welcome to attend.

Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts. Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly 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

Nighthawks. Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points. The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53. Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks. The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the

Harding County girls who came in with a 1-3 record. The Hettinger/Scranton girls also jumped out to an early lead as they were head 16-1 after the first stop, and 25-15 at half. They held on in the second half although being outscored 2421 to pull off their second win of the season to go along with five losses. Casey Joppa tallied 19 and Kinsey Jahner added 11 for the Nighthawks. Both had two 3-pointers.

Hawks beat Bowman County, finish as No. 2 seed in region By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record In what looked like an easy win for the Night Hawk volleyball team turned into a struggle against Bowman County at Bowman on Nov. 1. The Bulldogs were mired in 10th place in Region 7 with a 2-8 region record, while the Night Hawks were in second place with an 8-2 region record. The first set was a dog fight but the Night Hawks came out on top 25-19. Bowman turned the tables in the second set as their play was consistent and the Night Hawks

were inconsistent at times. Bowman pulled this one out 25-23 even though the Night Hawks had jumped out to an early 11-6 lead. Bowman closed the gap and at one time led 23-18 before the Night Hawks put on a short run, but could not take over the lead. The third set had the Night Hawks jumping out to a 14-4 lead and seemed to have Bowman frustrated as they finished with a 25-13 win.

They also took the fourth set by a 25-19 score but only after fighting off many Bulldog runs. Brianna Robinson, Molly Holt, Alyssa Andress, Tayler Burwick and Abbie Kludt all contributed timely kills, digs, serves or assists in a team effort. Skylar Ruggles for Bowman had a great match as she returned many tough shots from her position in the back row.
