Church to celebrate 100 years

2016 A YEAR IN REVIEW ELECTION By COLE BENZ

Record Editor

uring an era when church attendance has declined around the country, one institution has stood the test of time. Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Hettinger. On Sunday, Nov. 13, the church will celebrate 100 years of worship, and all are invited to join the festivities. Four previous pastors, and a bishop 8-9 pages from the Diocese in Bismarck, will be attending mass, which will start at 10:30 a.m. at the church. A fifth pastor wasn’t able to attend due to health related issues, but he has sent a message to be read aloud.

The church was moved to a new location one block north of U.S. Highway 12 and one block east of the courthouse. In 1948 expansion was again required. The new building is the one still in practice today. It gave parishioners a larger worship center, a choir loft, and one of the more important improvements—the inclusion of a basement. Prior to the new building, records indicate that social gatherings were held at the gymnasium of Hettinger High School. According to historical records, the cornerstone of the new church was laid by Bishop Vincent Ryan of Bismarck in the fall of 1948. Construction was completed during the winter of 1949, with formal declaration in June of 1950. The current building has endured many renovations from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. •A Series of Firsts John Joseph Tanous was the first baby to be baptized in the Catholic church on July 16, 1916.

have been working with the Hettinger Elementary School grades five and six. Mrs. Pam Harper has been the teacher that has helped with this project and we are very grateful for her interest in the project. She has been instrumental in promoting peace and it’s importance in our country. The students show great interest when I, Sharon Soehren, come to the school and introduce the topic for the year. The topic for the Peace Poster this year was “Celebrating Peace.” The students did an awesome job depicting peace. We had balloons, birthday cakes, confetti, and many other things to express celebration. There were 46 posters to pick from and the Reeder Lions Club chose the top three. The winners were given money prizes for their efforts. The winners were: Emma Jorda (third place), Patrick Schultz (second place), and Olivia Defoe (first place). Olivia’s poster was sent on to the State contest which was held in Rugby, N.D., on Oct. 28 and 29.

•Many Pastors For A Church The Holy Trinity Catholic Church has had many fathers at the altar. Before 1916, and as early as 1908, the church had visiting pastors from other area church-

Currently the church has 130 families that attend mass and participate in fellowship with one another. The building is strong, the faith is great, and the church would like the community to celebrate with them.

It’s Time for State to Resolve Grand River Roundup NEWS Pipeline Impasse Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

If North Dakota doesn’t take the initiative to settle the conflict at the construction site of the Dakota Access Pipeline, the confrontation will become uglier and the likelihood of a wholesale outbreak of hostilities will result. With guns galore at the site, a senseless killing is just around the corner. It is the nature of mobs that participants are willing to do more unlawful deeds as a group than they would if confronted face-to-face on some main street. The mob mentality on Highway 1806 means that peace is at the mercy of the most radical agitators at the scene. The demonstration is another cultural confrontation between Native-Americans and the white immigrants. As the conquering people, the dominant white immigrants are obligated to deal with the Sioux in a considerate empathetic manner. This is not a time for arrogance. We can cite the law but a steamroller resolution will leave torn relationships in North Dakota when Dakota Access and the celebrants

have long gone. Instead of depending on the federal government to rescue North Dakota from this impasse, the state’s chief executive, Governor Jack Dalrymple, must assert the state’s authority and his leadership in the crisis. The first order of business should be a gubernatorial invitation to the Standing Rock Tribal Council to meet with the Governor in a calm reconciliatory private meeting to begin a tempering of the issues. Nothing can be negotiated in the vitriol along Highway 1806. By dealing with only the Standing Rock Council, the discussion would exclude all of the protestors who have no legitimate stake in the issues at hand. That means all of the out-ofreservation demonstrators would have no part in the dialogue. It is important to acknowledge at the outset that Dakota Access Pipeline went through all of the legal steps required for construction. Relying on the formalities of the law, they proceeded to build the pipeline. The situation must still be handled with empathy for the Standing Rock people. To the extent that they did not know about the legal processes, they are innocent victims of the process as well as Dakota Access. At the same time, the Tribe must understand that everyone involved is under a government of law and that the law will eventually prevail. Some of the protestors’ claims are specious. For

example, the claim that the Sioux have some right to control “sacred land” outside of the Reservation is questionable. It was never suggested or identified before the current controversy started. It was an addon. The legitimacy of this claim needs to be treated with respect. The specifics of the claim should be explored and evaluated. What makes land sacred? How is it determined to be sacred? Are other sacred lands crossed by public utilities? Could the pipeline be built in a way that preserved the integrity of sacred land? As for the security of the water supply, it seems that a documented presentation should be made to the Tribal Council about the safety of running pipelines under rivers. How many underwater pipelines exist? How many have ruptured? What new technology guarantees the safety of underwater pipelines? Is an alternative water source available, such as the Southwest Water Authority? At this juncture, it does no good to talk about past errors and misunderstandings. We must deal with the facts as they exist today. The conflict must be deescalated and the Governor pursue a peaceful resolution that permits everyone to come out of the experience gracefully. Lloyd Omdahl was the 34th Lt. Gov. of North Dakota under Gov. George Sinner. He has also worked as a professor of Political Science for the University of North Dakota. His column has been featured in newspapers in the state.

3rd Annual Veterans Meal What: Free meal for all Veterans When: Friday, Nov. 11 from 11-2p.m. Where: Scruffy’s Restaurant Thank you Veterans for all you have done for us! Please join us for lunch on Friday!

By BETTY OLSON

This was another week of beautiful fall weather. It’s usually really cold by this time and it’s hard to believe that this is already the second week in November! Doug and Clint Doll, Bill Holt, Jace Jenson, and Ben Juelfs came to help Reub, Casey and Taz gather and sort off our steer calves on Monday. Peder Tenold and Casey hauled them to the sale in Faith and the steers weighed up really well. The calves brought more money than they would have sold for a week or so ago, but a whole lot less than they would have brought last year or two years ago. The price of everything else keeps going up and prices for all agriculture commodities keep going down. It’s depressing! We headed to Buffalo after the sale to watch the Harding County football team play Alcester-Hudson in the last play-off game. It was an exciting game and Harding County won with a score of 42 to 22. When the game was over, the coach from Alcester-Hudson prayed over all the players from both teams and then led them in the Lord’s Prayer as they knelt on the field. In some places, the coach would be putting his job on the line for doing that, but this South Dakota crowd wholeheartedly approved! Tuesday Rep. Sam Marty and I went to Belle Fourche and Spearfish to meet with U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem, but before going to the meetings, Sam and I stopped to see his aunt Maxine Marty in Belle. Mac fell a few days ago, dislocating her shoulder and breaking her upper arm and causing her a lot of pain. She isn’t doing very well, so please keep Mac in your prayers. Rep. Noem’s producers’ round-table at the 1st Interstate Bank was well attended by cattle and sheep producers and agriculture related businesses. The producers gave Kristi

a lot of information about what is happening with the decreasing prices for our livestock. I was really proud of the producers when they made it clear that they did NOT want federal subsidies, but they need government to step up to the plate and stop imports from disease ridden countries like Brazil and allow Country Of Origin Labeling of meat products (COOL), so consumers can know where their food comes from. If you buy a shirt, a tablecloth, or a lawn ornament the label tells you what country it came from, but we are not allowed to know where our meat comes from. Not only is this a serious health and safety issue, it just makes sense to allow people to know where the food they consume comes from. At noon, I was honored to introduce Kristi and moderate her Town Hall meeting at the Branding Iron café on the south side of Belle Fourche. Later that afternoon we all drove to Spearfish for Kristi’s Town Hall meeting in the theater at the High Plains Western Heritage Center. Rep. Fred Romkema was the moderator for that meeting. Before Sam and I left town, we stopped to visit his mother, Helen Marty, at her apartment after she got back from visiting her sister Mac over in Belle Fourche. Helen celebrated her 94th birthday with a surprise party her family had for her last Saturday. If I’m lucky enough to live that long, I sure hope I’m in as good shape as our dear friend Helen. Happy Birthday Helen, and many, many more! Greg Urlacher and a hunter friend of his came down from North Dakota to preg check our cows at the east place Thursday. Doug and Clint Doll and Bill Holt were here to help Casey, Taz and Reub and they all came over here to eat when they finished. Thursday was also Cassie Holt and Bryce’s birthday. I called Bryce that evening and she had been celebrating her birthday by being really sick. Thankfully, she was busy taping ankles for football players and doing much better when I called her Saturday morning. We lost two more neighbors on Thursday. Stan Lindholm, age 62, lost his

battle with cancer and Bob Schell, 86, passed away in Miles City. We haven’t heard about funeral arrangements for Stan yet, but there will be a family service for Bob at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Miles City this Friday at 4:00 p.m. with graveside services at the Fairview Cemetery at Camp Crook at 11:00 a.m.on Saturday. These families have our sympathy. Casey shot another coyote Saturday morning and Lanie, Matt, and Trace came down from Dickinson for the semi-final football game in Buffalo Friday evening against Langford. It was a nice warm evening and an exciting game, but unfortunately Harding County suffered their first loss of the season to Langford, 44 to 61. Langford will advance to Vermillion for the state championship game this week. They’re a nice bunch of folks and we will be cheering them on. Veteran’s Day is Nov. 11, and at a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country’s prior actions, here’s a refresher on how one of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country. This story is a good reminder of how proud and thankful we should always be of our veterans: A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?” Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because during WWII the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.” Betty Olson is a South Dakota rancher and state legislator for District 28.

We Are So Screwed That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

By the time you read this, the world will probably have ended. Not that I’m against that. I am convinced that 65 million years ago, faced with an election between a T-Rex and a Velociraptor, all the other dinosaurs prayed for that sweet meteor of death to strike the planet. But since I will send this column out to newspapers on Monday, I do so knowing full well that I’m probably not going to get paid for it. The world will have ended on Tuesday, so I am going to get stiffed. But I have to write this damn thing anyway, just in case we’re still all here. Contractual obligations. On the bright side, when this all goes up in smoke, I will have maxed out my credit cards. Sure, that could mean bankruptcy if our meteor prayers are not answered, but if Trump is president, I will invoke his business strategies as justification. No court in the land will convict me. If, indeed, we still have a judiciary. We’ve already lost the FBI. Not lost really, they still have campaign headquarters in every state. And if President Trump has garbled the nuclear codes, granting us a reprieve until the meteor (Please, Allah!) arrives, I would like to say in all sincerity, I think Vladimir Putin is going to be a fine vice president. And Donald, you know I was just kidding about the things I said. As a matter of fact, I am going to categorically deny having said them even if Howard Stern has the tapes to prove it. Even if Hillary has successfully rigged the election by convincing His-

panic racists, drug dealers and job stealers to vote for her in swing states, we’re still all gonna die, only by acute taco poisoning. And you know darn well, if she was elected, it will be revealed that this was just a publicity ploy by Trump to launch a new reality show starring Bill Clinton and him in some kind of celebrity grope-off. Melania will replace Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune. Even if she has trouble with the alphabet, I’ll still tune in just to watch her walk. There is a third scenario, and that is that AmericaHating Barack Obama completes his mission by successfully destroying the country before Vladimir Putin is inaugurated in the wake of Donald Trump’s tragic bathroom accident. Who drowns in a toilet, except maybe Jeff Bridges in an alternate script of the Big Lebowski? Even Elvis had the good sense to fall off of the stool instead of into it. This is where being ostentatious works against you. Donald Trump didn’t need a huuuuuge toilet, even though he was really full of it. When you drown in a toilet that big, it startles the koi. And recovery efforts take forever. So many boats. So many divers. So much sadness. I think Eric and Donald Jr. almost cried when they heard about it amidst their annual elephant slaughter. It’s clear that the Tyrant Obama has shaken the country to the core with a horrific unemployment rate of 4.9 percent. At least Romney promised to keep it about 5 points higher, because he realized the little people need time off to fix their own car elevators. Not everyone has an on staff mechanic. Some people call this much employment a success. I call it indentured servitude. Obama exits with an anemic 57 percent approval rating, unless he makes good on the NRA’s promise that he is going to confiscate our guns, and according to the guys around here, our pheasants, too.

Matt and Jim attended Mason’s meeting and Patsy attended a Parish Council meeting. Monday, Thelma Sandgren came back to the ranch after spending the weekend in Bison. Tuesday, James Sandgren came up and repaired Thelma’s kitchen light. Wednesday Thelma Sandgren took some things that she had made down to Kel, Jean and Jim Brockel. Thursday, Thelma Sandgren attended the Lutheran Church Luncheon in Hettinger. Al Treib accompanied Thelma to the luncheon. Thelma then vis-

Then he might end up at an even more gratifying 53 percent like Ronald Reagan, after he got done screwing the country. The problem with America is, it just doesn’t stay screwed. When President Cheney and Captain Oblivious were done, by god, we thought we were good and screwed. Cheney even talked dirty to us. We all had a cigarette afterward. Now, that Obama is just about done screwing us, in North Dakota, in anticipation of all the cigarette smoking about to commence, wants to tax raise the tobacco tax. I think it’s genius. Plus, it will offset the screwing the legislature gave us with a 23 percent tax cut for Big Oil, which frankly, is quite capable of screwing us without any assistance. Have some decency. One at a time, please. But despite heroic Republican efforts to help Obama keep us screwed, America, of it’s own perverted free will, decided to recover, frankly, ruining everything for politicians everywhere. Thank God, Obama at least managed to destroy marriage with LGBT rights before he was done. Now, everyone is screwing everyone, some of them in the wrong bathrooms. None of this matters, because it will be over soon. Go ahead, park in a loading zone. Tear up the ticket. Speed. Spend frivolously. Buy a newspaper subscription with your Discover card. You won’t have to pay for it, and we won’t have to deliver it. Even if by some miracle we get a temporary stay of execution, rest easy in the knowledge that this time, I think we are going to stay screwed.

Kids will be kids Hat Tips

By DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist

Hello, Everyone knows I like kids. I guess maybe it’s because I’m still pretty much an older kid. I often think of an old friend that passed away several years ago. He was Peg O’Neil from Killdeer. One time Peg gave me a quote that I still remember. “I wouldn’t wish any kid to get in trouble. But I really wouldn’t want a kid that wasn’t at least capable of it.” What got me to recalling Peg was a visit with a friend

down in Harding County the other night. We were on the way home from Belle Fourche and stopped in Buffalo for supper. This young father stopped at our table to visit for a bit. To protect the guilty, I suppose I had better not use the family name, but suffice it to say that he is the father of twin boys. Now the twins are pretty well known in that corner of the state. I guess they are probably around ten years old. And if I am wrong I am sure they will forgive me. This past week they got in a little trouble. Nothing serious mind you. They were visiting in band class. Again. Now it’s been 50 years or better since I was in band class, but I can relate to “visiting” in band class. I mean if you play the trumpet or the sax and you don’t

have to blow on that horn for a while what are you supposed to do? Just sit there? Anyway, they were visiting and the instructor had enough of it. The boys were reprimanded and sent to the principal’s office. The principal, who seems to be a wise and just person, asked the twins, “What do you think I should do with you?” One of the twins quickly responded, “I think a stern lecture would be good, and then possible detention if we do it again!” I just can’t see that these boys have a very good future in crime.

Team from West River Veterinary Clinic assist in animal rescue By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Multiple charges have been filed after a large amount of animals were recovered from a property in Hettinger County Halloween evening. Mary and William Ziegler have both been charged with animal cruelty, a Class C felony, and animal neglect, a Class A misdemeanor, according to the criminal complaint. Hettinger County Sheriff Sarah Warner told the Herald that the investigation is ongoing, and could not discuss many details of the case.

According to court documents, the environment was filthy, and covered in feces and urine. Additionally, law enforcement recovered animals that had died as a result of the unfit conditions, according to the criminal complaint. Assisting the Hettinger County Sheriff’s Department in the recovery of the animals was the Regent Fire Department. West River Veterinary Clinic was also called upon for assistance. Dr. Lisa Henderson said that her, another vet, and a team of three vet assistants examined more than

Harley Robert Olson passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on Oct. 30, 2016. Harley was born on Aug. 4, 1933 in Hettinger to Henry and Bertina (Bjorndahl) Olson. He attended school in Hettinger graduating from high school in 1953. Upon graduation he joined the Army and was based in Alaska. After his service he returned to Hettinger. He worked at White’s Hardware before beginning his career as a truck driver. Harley first drove for Northwest Trucking and then for Austad’s Trucking. He married his sweetheart, Elinor Morgen, on Sept. 14, 1958. They spent 58 beautiful years together. In 1961 they were blessed with a daughter, Gayle Lynne. Harley and Elinor moved to Loveland, Colo. in 1988. He continued driving truck for Nation’s Way until 1999. When he retired, he went to work for the Re-Organized Farmer’s Ditch Company as a ditch rider. This was a job

he truly loved. It allowed him to be out in the country meeting with farmers and ranchers. He so enjoyed driving the countryside.

Olson Harley was a devoted outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, and sharing his passion with friends and family. Each year he looked forward to his fall hunting trip to Hettinger. He was a proud member of The American Legion, Pheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited, and the NRA. He was an active member of Crossroads Church and had an incred-

taken out of their environment,” Henderson said. The dogs appeared to be void of social interaction, as evident by their hesitation to approach any human contact. “[The dogs] would rather run from you,” Henderson said. The animals have been sent to various rescue organizations around the region. Those who took in animals include Furry Friends (Bismarck-Mandan), Second Hand Paws (Glendive, Mont.), Bakken Paws (Dickinson). Also assisting was Hot Dog Pet Grooming and Lois Laches, also of Mott. Individuals who do not want to foster an animal but would like to help, monetary donations can be given to Hot Dog Pet Grooming and Laches in Mott. West River Veterinary Clinic in Hettinger can also be contacted for more information on how you can help.

Nighthawk basketball teams both down Harding County By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

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.

on the roof. A couple of rooms are leaking. They are now on the small gym side. They will be working another 2 to three weeks for substantial completion. Weather permitting. According to CTS the project is on schedule or a bit ahead of schedule. Gymnasium-The gymnasium was refinished on Monday, September 19th. The gym will be closed for one week, and will open on September 26th. STATE REPORTS-I thought I would share with you the reports that need to be completed each Fall and what each report is asking for. Personnel reports are the most time consuming. In addition, some of the reports are tied to PowerSchool. In those cases, there is a reconciliation process that takes place between STARS and PowerSchool. If the data is not identical errors are reported and need to be corrected. The following reports were completed: AVI-The alarm system is in the process of being installed, and should be in place by time of the board meeting on Wednesday. Some of the fire alarm system was not compatible with the new install so additional equipment had to be purchased. Bus Inspection-Bus inspection was completed by Trooper Tuhy. All busses with the exception of one passed. RZ Motor’s fixed the known issues. Elementary News-Title I, Grades 3 through 6 had their open house on September 14th. A meal was served with a free will donation accepted. Worked with teachers to get students into one section or correct section on PowerSchool. Parent-teacher conferences are on September 22, 2016. Starting at 3:30 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. Continue to work on the lunch program with Donna. There is a lot of paperwork. It seems overwhelming at times. Especially the first time through. Mrs. Hendry has been a lot of help. Picture Day(s)-Picture Day was held August 30th and 31st. Individual pictures were taken in the elementary music room rather than the gymnasium. Group pictures were taken on the east side of school. I think everything went fine as I did not hear otherwise. Things appear to be going fine in the elementary school. There are days that are busier than others. State Assessment-With the new standards in Math and English the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction is looking a new state assessment tool. Some of the discussion has been the ACT. Testing-Ms. Heid has been conducting DIBELS testing in the elementary school to assess student literacy skills. DIBELS stands for Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills. These are one-minute fluency measures used to monitor the development of literacy and reading skills. Book Fair-Mrs. Kristy is holding a Scholastic Book Fair starting September 20th and ending on September 30th. ND First Lady-First Lady Betsy Dalrymple will be here to read to first and second graders on September 28th for one hour. Standards in Math and English-Below are links regarding revisions being made to Math and English. standards. I did attach a word document which includes the same information. Thirtythree North Dakota English teaching experts and 38 North Dakota math experts have worked this past summer to revise the state’s existing K-12 English and math standards, which have been in effect since 2011. Baesler said the standards typically undergo review every five to seven years. North Dakotans who are interested in reviewing the first draft of the new standards may visit the links below. The links labeled “First Draft” show the proposed standards without any editing marks. The links labeled “First Draft, Edit Markup Version” show how the teacher writing committees have changed the existing standards.

Activities Director Report: Athletics -All sports doing well. Football is 2-1 in the region and volleyball is 3-0 in the region. Our elementary girl’s basketball has almost 40 girls playing right now. So, really good numbers. The Park Board is hoping to start a Pee Wee football program in Hettinger next year. I have been working with them and advising them on uniforms, pads etc. they need to buy. Activities-Several activities up and running now. FFA, FBLA, HOSA, Student Council, Honor Society. All have had meetings and are moving forward with their years. Coaching positions needed: Junior high boy’s/girls basketball, high school girl’s/boys basketball. Other Things-There are a few things to report. First, we have been working on a hardship exemption for one of our students. We found out it was turned down. We chose to appeal and the hearing is tomorrow morning at 10:00 in Valley City. We were also informed last week of a rule we are in non-compliance of. We have (had) two South Dakota home school kids participating in fall sports. The State informed us we have been violating NDHSAA laws by allowing them to participate. So, I had to self-report our school for breaking an NDHSAA rule. This is something we have done with the family for the past 7 years. To hear this was against the rules was disappointing. The Charter Bus: I have been wondering what we should do with this bus. I have a couple thoughts. We can strip this bus down to nothing and sell off the parts. As it sits now, this bus is of no use to anyone. There are no replacement parts made for this bus anymore. Any thoughts from the board? Education Improvement Report: Committees: We have formed two committees this year: Data Team consists of Don Smith, Anna Block, Paul Jamison, Cindy Arndorfer and LaNae Kristy. This committee is primarily responsible for looking at available data and aligning it to our curriculum and goals. Education Improvement Committee consists of Cindy Stecher, Joey Erickson, Paul Jamison, Anna Block, Elizabeth Johnson and LaNae Kristy. We would also like a school board member. This person does not have to really do anything but attend meetings. We typically meet once per month at 7:30 am. We have begun the stakeholder surveys and will be doing these in school and also during parent teacher conferences. A note will go home with students in grades K-6 as well. Links on the Web Page. This year Education Improvement will be busy getting our information ready for our visit in 2017-18 school year. MOTION #38-Moved by Faller, seconded by Andress to approve the Annual Compliance Report for the 2016-2017 School Year. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION #39-Moved by Andress, seconded by Faller to approve Ormiston and Andress are the voting delegates for the North Dakota School Board Association Convention, October 27-28, 2016. MOTION #40-Moved by Andress, seconded by Ormiston to increase the mill tax levies for the 2016 tax year to $853,660 for the General Fund; $153,528 for Miscellaneous Levy; $38,380 for Special Reserve Levy and $127,940 for the Building Fund.

Hettinger County farmers Rural Development Finance could win big donation to Corporation awards grants in Slope Electic Coooperatives’ a local cause Rural communities are the backbone of America, and now through Nov. 30, 2016, eligible farmers in Hettinger County will have the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation to direct to a local eligible nonprofit organization. As part of the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, more than $3 million dollars of financial support will be provided to nonprofits across rural America in 2017. Since the program began in 2010, the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program has awarded more than $22 million in donations to a broad cross-section of organizations that reflect the makeup and character of

rural America, including emergency response organizations, schools, youth agriculture programs and many others. More than 8,000 organizations have received monetary donations toward causes positively impacting farming communities. “We are excited to team up with farmers once again to help support the causes that mean the most to them and that have an impact in their local communities,” said Al Mitchell, Monsanto Fund president. “Because of their commitment to this program, thousands of nonprofit organizations have been able to enhance the important programs and services they provide, having a positive impact

on the communities they serve.” To show the true impact of a $2,500 donation, Hettinger County farmer Elinor Butler directed a donation to ASSEMBLY OF GOD. Hettinger County farmers can enroll in the America’s Farmers Community Outreach program from Aug. 1 to Nov. 30, 2016. Online enrollment, as well as a complete list of program rules and eligibility information, can be found at www.GrowCommunities.com or by calling 1-877-267-3332 toll-free.

Hettinger/Scranton beat the Wildfire twice in the regular season. But a third win wasn’t in store for the Lady Hawks. The Lady Wilfire—fresh off a three game sweep of Bowman County in the opening round of the Region 7 tournament—painted the corners of the court all night and consistently had the second-seeded Night Hawks off balance and miss judging balls inside the line en route to a 3-0 upset victory. The Wildfire (No. 7) set the tone early with a 25-8 victory in the opening set. Mott-Regent came out and played communicative volleyball, and the Night Hawks couldn’t seem to find a hole anywhere on Mott-Regent’s side of the court. It was a trend that lasted the entire game. The Night Hawks finally

took their first lead when they were ahead 6-5 in the second set. It was short-lived, though, as Hettinger/Scranton gave way to Mott-Regent again, putting the score at 13-12. They wouldn’t relinquish the lead, and took the second game 25-22. Early in game three, the Wildfire started to slip with some sloppy play. They were hitting out-of-bounds and put a few serves right into the net, and the Night Hawks took advantage and went at 8-7. But after an early timeout, Mott-Regent cleaned up their act. Hettinger/Scranton, already facing a 4-point deficit but playing competitively, gave a point away midway through that final set, and got penalized for an illegal substitution, extending the Widlfire’s lead 16-11. What ever momentum the Lady Hawks had seemed to dissipate after the penalty.

The Night Hawks took one last time out with the score 22-18, but the break wasn’t enough to regroup, and gave up three more points, losing 25-18. Hettinger/Scranton had to deal with the tall Maddison Johnson all evening. But they couldn’t find an answer, and she had two key blocks for the winning points in both games two and three. The loss eliminated the Hawks from the tournament, ending their 2016 season. Molly Holt led the Night Hawks in kills with six, followed by Alyssa Andress who had five. Senior Tayler Burwick had 10 assists, and senior Brianna Robinson lead the way with 8 digs. Kills: Holt (6), Andress (5), Robinson (3), Burwick (1), Warbis (1). Assists: Burwick (10), Callie Anderson (6), Briana Sanford (2). Digs: Robinson (8), Anderson (4), Abbie Kludt (3), Burwick (3). Blocks: Holt (1).

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

MEMORY of many in honor of all L

enonard Thompson was born May 2, 1918 in Adams County. He was drafted during World War II into the United States Army in the middle of 1942 and became a part of the 924 Engineer Company. He eventually joined the 1905 Engineer Aviation Battalion, which he would later deploy with. Thompson was sworn into the service at Fort Snelling (Minnesota), and completed 13 weeks of Basic Combat Training (BCT) at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, leaving behind a wife and a 10-day-old daughter at home. In the first few days of training, Thompson remembers soldiers being pushed through medical stations receiving vaccinations, much like cattle. A few men fainted after getting the shots, but luckily he wasn’t one of them. Once Thompson completed his training, he was sent to Camp Shanks in Rockland County, Orangeburg, New York—Camp Shanks was used between 1943 and 1946 as a staging area for troops going overseas and was used as a hospital at the end of WWII, it was closed and sold after the war. Thompson and his fellow soldiers were told that they would be in the camp for a few days, so the soldiers decided to do some laundry. After the clothes were washed and wrung out, the soldiers were informed they were moving out. The soldiers had to either pack up their wet clothes, or wear them to dry as they boarded the ship. Thompson spent the next 40 days on that ship. He was one of the lucky few who did not get seasick. The ship made a path down to Rio, Brazil and crossed the equator before stopping in Antarctica and finally heading for Bombay, India. The passage from Antarctica to Bombay was the longest stretch. According to Thompson, the ship was supposed to stop in Cape Town, South Africa but was detoured because of the heavy German presence. The food on the ship was scarce, and the Captain of the company volunteered the entire unit for Kitchen Police (KP) duty. This meant that Thompson’s company got to eat and prepare meals for the entire ship and clean up the mess hall. Thompson remembers men standing outside the mess hall in the hallway begging the soldiers on KP duty for food. He and his fellow soldiers began stuffing oranges and apples into their lifebelts and passing them out to the hungry soldiers at the end of the day. None of the fruit ever made it back to his bunk, Thompson said. In the 40 days on the ship, two men died, the only casualties out of Thompson’s company. They were buried at sea. When the ship arrived in Bombay, the men unloaded at a rest camp and Thompson remembers being given a loaf of bread to share between five or six men, including himself. “It had a wooly appearance, like they had dropped it and kicked it in the street” he stated. But they were hungry, and so they ate it. Thompson noticed that the level of poverty in India was high. Kids were starving in the street when they arrived, pleading for food and in poor health. Some were crippled, most were living with some form of health issue. Thompson’s duty during the war was building roads and culverts in India. It rained so often that they would dig a culvert one day, and have to completely re-do it again the next day, because it would be washed out. Thompson said “We just forgot being dry,” and remembered it rained almost every day for six months. Because of the constant moisture, many soldiers were affected by mold and fungi. Thompson experienced a fungus on his feet and hands that has been stubborn to treat as a lasting effect from his time spent overseas. Thompson’s company built about 400 miles of road that ended by Bauma, China. He worked

Enemies weren’t the only danger in the jungle of India. Thompson and his fellow soldiers were parked close to a small river one night, 2030 feet wide. He had built a shack with his friend and covered it with a tarp to stay dry. “All at once, a lion, he must’ve been a big one. You can’t imagine how he sounded! I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up.” Thompson said as he explained the close call he had with an Asiatic lion. Another encounter with a large snake left Thompson hungry. While working on one of the roads, he noticed a 25foot long anaconda had slithered out of a nearby tree. The soldiers killed the snake, and a few natives walked by and asked if they could have some of the meat. Thompson said, “it looked like pork chops, I could have eaten it raw,” but no one saved any of the meat to eat. Thompson walked out into the jungle in the middle of the day at one point, and couldn’t believe how dark it was under the jungle’s heavy foliage. “You could step on a twig and it sounded like a cannon shot.” He explained that when you looked down to the jungle floor, the excess phosphorus in the soil had given the ground an eerie glow and appeared to glow in the dark. Mail was hard to receive and send during World War II. Thompson wasn’t allowed to disclose his location in his letters back home, making it difficult for his family to know if he was safe. In Thompson’s time overseas, he had the opportunity to experience V-Mail. V-Mail stands for Victory Mail and was introduced during the war to reduce the cost of sending letters through the military postal system. V-Mail letters would be censored, copied to microfilm, and printed back to paper upon arrival of the letters’ final destination. Thompson spent the years serving in WWII. When he returned home his eldest daughter, Joyce Richardson, was almost three years old. He still remembers the day he came home towards the end of December 1945. “I got off the train in Dickinson and the platform was empty. The wind was howling 40 miles an hour and it was 20 degrees below zero.” Upon arriving home, Thompson bought a farm near Regent in 1948 and still lives there today. He made his life as a farmer, working with his brother-in-law, and had three daughters with his wife. Thompson has kept in contact with a Chinese friend he met during the war and even had him visit North Dakota a few times. In 1948 Thompson joined the American Legion but didn’t keep his membership continuous. He rejoined the Legion after some time and 2016 marks 60 years that he has been a continuous member. Thompson visited Washington, D.C. in 2009 with his daughter Joyce, and took part of the Honor Flight where he was given a tour of the Arlington Cemetery and the World War II Memorial. He was given dog tags and other memorabilia. He says that the government showed him a lot of the world, and he will forever be thankful for that. Thompson received a few medals from his service, including the Asiatic Pacific Campaign medal, a Good Conduct medal, and a World War II Medal. His last rank in the military was T3, which was a technician equivalent to a Staff Sergeant. The Adams County Record would like to thank Thompson, and all veterans, for their service.

Leonard Thompson and his eldest daughter Joyce Richardson pose for a recent photo in his home

on the Ledo Road, which was a main supply route for the Western Allies as an alternative to the Burma Road that had been upheaved by the Japanese army in 1942. The road was built by 15,000 American soldiers and 35,000 local workers. Thompson recalls that Chinese soldiers would steal anything they could from the convoys on the Ledo Road, including guns and howitzers ( a type of cannon used at a high angle of elevation). Commodities were hard to come by overseas. Coffee, for example, was scarce; Thompson received one package of coffee from his sister in the mail. The soldiers brewed it in a combat helmet and once soldiers could smell the distinct aroma of coffee, they all lined up for a small taste. Thompson also mentioned a time when a crate fell off the back of a truck. It was full of canned pears. The soldiers were happy to get a treat. Although Thompson never saw combat, there was a point where he was surrounded on a hill by the enemy. One of the soldiers had a tank radio and tuned it to a broadcast by the infamous Tokyo Rose; a pseudo-name given by the Allies to the female Japanese broadcaster. Tokyo Rose would broadcast Japanese propaganda every night to the Allies on the radio in an attempt to taunt the Americans. Thompson recalls his experience on the radio with her, reciting what she had said: “I know just where you are on this hill, if you go half a mile south the friendly Japanese will give you food. I know you don’t have anything to eat why don’t you go right down the hill and you will have nothing to worry about,” he said. They thumbed their noses to the radio and didn’t fall for the attempt to lure them into dangerous territory.

Joyce Richardson displays an intricate hand-carved wooden box that Thompson brought back from Calcutta, India.
