The Hettinger Post #115 color guard was also at the ceremony to present the flags. Following the flag raising, the Veteran’s Day program started inside. Ted Uecker, who emceed the event, said he was pleasantly surprised at the turnout. It wasn’t advertised much, which shows the power of word-of-mouth. Among the attendees (outside of the vets and their families and facility employees) included retired West River Health Services CEO Jim Long and the new Hettinger United Methodist pastor R.

event. Hettinger resident, and veteran, Richard Raasch was asked to be the event’s guest speaker. He used a jar of gum balls to illustrated just how little of the U.S. population serves and protects this country. He had three hundred pieces of candy, representing the 300 million residents of the United States. He pulled out just three gum balls holding them up high, and said this is the ratio of citizens to soldiers—300 million to 3 million. Following his speech, and another song from Holly Wyman, Uecker set some time aside in the program to recognize local vets from both the assisted living center and care center. The following veterans were recognized: Gene Anderson, Kenny Doerr, Wayne Eklund, Alan Kromarek, Vernie Milliren, Durwood Ohm, Clarence Schaible, Albert Weaver, Quentin Oase, Owen Oleson, and Jack Rafferty. Each vet received a t-shirt and a United States calendar. Following the veteran recognition, sheet music was handed out to the crowd and everyone participated in a time of song.

White Cloud, the albino buffalo who spent many years at the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown, recently passed away. (Photo by Searle Swedlund) With deep sadness, the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown announced Tuesday the passing of White Cloud, the rare albino buffalo who lived with the museum’s herd for almost two decades. White Cloud died peacefully of old age on Monday, Nov. 14, 2016. White Cloud was born on the Shirek Buffalo Ranch near Michigan in 1996 and came to live with the herd at the National Buffalo Museum in 1997. She gave birth
to 11 calves during her time in Jamestown, including Dakota Miracle, a rare white bull. She returned home to the Shirek Buffalo Ranch in May 2016. White Cloud was beloved by local residents and attracted an estimated 3 million visitors to Jamestown. White bison are exceedingly rare and are considered sacred to indige-nous peoples of North America. “To me, White Cloud was more than a tourist at-
traction. She drew many, many people to the community, but more than that, she brought the community together with White Cloud Days, parades, and special Native American events, said Don Williams, president of the National Buffalo Museum’s board. “She will be missed by the museum, our city, and by all the travelers that could look to the North and view her as they drove along the I-94 interstate pasture.”
There will not be a formal memorial service for White Cloud, but the museum encour-aged those who wish to share their memories, stories and photos on social media using #WhiteCloud. Plans are being made to bring White Cloud back to the museum as a full-body mount display. Donations can be sent to the White Cloud Preservation and Memorial Fund, c/o National Buffalo Museum, 500 17th St. SE, Jamestown, ND, 58401.
USDA Announces enrollment period for safety net coverage in 2017 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini today announced that producers on farms with base acres under the safety net programs established by the 2014 Farm Bill, known as the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs, can begin visiting FSA county offices starting Nov. 1, 2016, to sign contracts and enroll for the 2017 crop year. The enrollment period will continue until Aug. 1, 2017. “FSA issued more than $7 billion in payments in October 2016 under the ARCCounty and PLC programs for the 2015 crop to assist enrolled producers who suffered a loss of price or revenue or both,” said Dolcini. “Since shares and ownership of a farm can change year-toyear, producers on the farm must enroll by signing a contract each program year. I
encourage you to contact your local FSA office today to schedule an appointment to enroll.” If a farm is not enrolled during the 2017 enrollment period, the producers on that farm will not be eligible for financial assistance from the ARC or PLC programs for the 2017 crop should crop prices or farm revenues fall below the historical price or revenue benchmarks established by the program. Producers who made their elections in 2015 must still enroll during the 2017 enrollment period. The ARC and PLC programs were authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill and offer a safety net to agricultural producers when there is a substantial drop in prices or revenues for covered commodities. Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum,

Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity. For more details regarding these programs, go to www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc. For more information, producers are encouraged to visit their local FSA office. To find a local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda.gov. USDA works to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy
and materials. Since 2009, USDA has provided $5.6 billion in disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. The Department has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; and extending new conservation opportunities. USDA has developed new markets for rural-made products, including more than 2,700 biobased products through USDA’s BioPreferred program; and invested $64 billion in infrastructure and community facilities to help improve the quality of life in rural America.

His father responded, and assured Coates that he could do anything he wanted, and that he didn’t have to follow in his footsteps. So he continued his journalism education. Upon graduation, he was first employed with the
Dickinson Press from 19921995, moved to Valley City in 1995, and finally arrived in Sioux Falls, S.D. at the Argus Leader in 1998. During his time with the Argus Leader, Coates was a copy editor during the time of the attacks on the World Trade Centers, and he came to realize that perhaps our nation’s priorities have shift-
ed. The previous year he had spent some time touring Europe, and saw the devastation WWII had on the institutions, which primarily were religious establishments. And after 9/11, he realized that 60 years ago the enemy attacked churches to affect the moral of civilians, now the terrorists were tar-
geting commercial establishments and government buildings. “They knew that that’s where our devotion lied,” Coates said. “I was like ‘what have we become?’” So he made the decision to follow the call he couldn’t ignore any longer. “I left [the Argus Leader] in 2003, under my own steam, simply because I couldn’t ignore the call to ministry,” Coates said. “I couldn’t resist the call to ministry.” He enrolled in the Garret-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill. in part because its vicinity to the Medill School of Journalism. Following 9/11, there became a real need for religious journalism, so Coates began to think about pursing his call to ministry in conjunction with a continued education in journalism. He thought that if he wanted to, he could perhaps utilize his education in theology to minister others through his work in journalism. “I liked the idea that my education could be both deep and wide,” he said. But as he got deeper into
his religious studies, he decided to focus primarily on ministry. Prior too his enrollment in seminary school, Coates began his United Methodist pastoral candidacy in the fall of 2002. When he graduated from seminary, he was initially sent to Brookings, where he had gone to college and attended church. The pastor he would be working with actually confirmed and performed the wedding ceremony for his sister, so he was very familiar with the congregation. She had also previously been an associate under his father. He was in Brookings from 2006-2010—officially being ordained in 2009. Following his time in Brookings, he was sent to minister in both Wagner, and Tindall, S.D. then spent time in Sioux Falls before his latest assignment, Hettinger. Coates arrived in Hettinger on July 7, and he said the time has gone by quickly. “It’s been four months, but it feels like it just got here,” he said. Coates is following Paul Lint, who left the area with
his wife to be directors as Wesley Acres, a religious camp. Coates praised the Lints, and was glad to follow them in the ministry at Hettinger. Coates and the Lints have known each other for some years. “In some ways it’s [nice] to follow a good friend who’s very effective,” Coates said. When asked about what he hopes to bring to the church, and to Hettinger, Coates told the Record that he wants to bring enthusiasm. “I hope to bring enthusiasm to the good news of Jesus Christ to not just the people that are [in the United Methodist Church], but also to the community,” he said. He also hopes to make a large impression for the community with the work of the church. “I would like to think that if this church ever closed, which I hope it never does, that the community would miss it,” Coates said. “That we would be so integral in the fabric of the community, that if we weren’t doing what we do in this community, there would be a hole.”

By COLE BENZ
Record Editor A Bowman County resident may have set a new state record for bighorn sheep. Shawn Burns, 27, was hunting in McKenzie County, just west of Grassy Butte on Oct. 29 when he took down the large animal with a .338 Winchester Magnum. He was about 329 yards away from the sheep when he fired his weapon. Burns said he contacted the North Dakota Game and Fish Department immediately, a requirement of the state once the animal is recovered. Hunters are required to contact the department so they can take samples. Last year a pneumonia disease killed more than 30 sheep, so the state didn’t hold a hunt last year and
prompted sample collecting from animals this year. The samples will be sent to Washington University for examination, Burns said. After the samples were taken, Brett Weidmann (with the ND Game and Fish Department) took the measurements for the record book. He gave the animal a 175 7/8 green score, surpassing the current record of 173 set in 2014. Burns said it was estimated to weigh 230 lbs. Burns said he will have to wait a mandatory 60-day waiting period before it can officially be tabbed as a state record. Burns has been applying for a bighorn sheep permit for the past 13 years. He first applied when he was first eligible at 14 years-old. Out of more than 10,000 permits that were submitted to the state, only eight were
distributed. Seven through lottery, and one through auction. But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime permit, meaning Burns will not be able to apply for another permit in North Dakota.
After 15 years of service with White Drug, JoAnn Papka is hanging up her blue smock for the last time. Papka was honored for both her service time, and her retirement during a small reception inside the store. Many patrons came by to give Papka well wishes and enjoy a piece of cake and some coffee.
Papka, who had also been with the story for five years under previous ownership, said it seemed like yesterday when she first pinned on her name tag, saying that she never thought she would spend so many years with the company. “I love it,” she said. She also jokingly commented that she better get out before she’s thrown out. Those surround her heard the

comments and laughed at her sense of humor. Papka said she is going to use her free time to play more cards, host social gatherings, visit, and maybe do some traveling. She also said she would still frequent White Drug, and greet people as they come in. “I’m really going to miss the people here, they’re just too wonderful,” Papka said. “My coworkers, and everybody else.”

SPORTS ATHLETIC ACOMPLISHMENTS
Night Hawks highlight postseason rosters By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For The Record
Quite a few Night Hawk athletes received awards this year in both volleyball and football. Tayler Burwick and Brianna Robinson made the 2016 All-Region 7 Volleyball Team. Kourtney Hintz of Beulah was named the Region 7 Senior Athlete of the Year and Breanna Messer of Trinity was named Region 7 Coach of the Year. I was a little surprised at the Coach of the Year winner. Not that her team didn’t have a good year, but they finished the year 11-0 in region play and 20-8 overall. Almost the same as 2015 when Trinity finished 11-0 in region play and 26-9 overall. First-year Night Hawk coach Ria Eaton coached the Night Hawks to second place in the region with a 9-2 record along with a 16-8 overall record. In 2015 the Night Hawks finished in fifth place in the region with a 6-5 record and 17-17 overall. I did email Gregg Grinsteinner the Athletic Director at Trinity and he responded: “She [Ria Eaton] did receive some votes. We haven’t ever released the final tally for All-

For the Record
I need to make a correction in my October 28 column pertaining to the new 2017-18 football alignment. I recommended bringing up six teams from 9-man to Division AA. I meant bring up six teams from Division A. Here is how it should have read: “I know it is tough to come up with a plan that meets everyone’s approval, but in my opinion this plan could have been better. Only ten teams in Division AA with six making the playoffs, talk about increased travel expenses. I read where Watford City’s average distance from their opponents is 303 miles. And with ten teams no one

can have a non-region game with a nine game schedule. I think they easily could have brought up six teams from the DIVISION A ranks to make it 16 teams with two divisions.” Are the Night Hawks developing a hex on losing in the quarterfinals of the Regional tournament when going in as the heavy favorite? The boy’s basketball team did it in last year’s quarterfinals to New England after jumping out to a 20-4 lead. The Night Hawk volleyball team was swept 3 sets to 0 by Mott-Regent. The Night Hawks came in as the No. 2 seed and the Widlfire were the No. 7 seed. I need to get on my band wagon again on why there should be three classes in basketball. There are currently 21 Class A schools and 109 Class B schools. With eight teams qualifying for state from each class, that means 38 percent of the class A teams qualify. But in Class B only 7 percent of the Class B teams qualify for state. My thoughts are keep the present number of
Class A schools, although Watford City may have to eventually move to Class A. Of the remaining schools make four regions each with eight teams from the highest enrollments. This would be the new Class B and would include the bigger private schools such as Shiloh, Dickinson Trinity, Our Redeemers, etc. The remaining teams would be Class C, roughly 77, although I would rename the classes AAA, AA and A. In South Dakota 9-Man A football playoffs Lemmon won their first game 46-26 over Philip and then lost to Coleman-Egan 58-0 in the quarter finals. ColemanEgan went on to win in the semi finals and will be playing in the championship game on November 10 against Warner. In 9-Man B Harding Co. made it to the semi finals and lost to Langford Area 61-44. The ND 9-man semi-final playoff action in the battle of the undefeated, Thompson downed Shiloh 44-30 and New Salem-Almont-Glen
Ullin (NSAGU) defeated previously undefeated North Prairie 38-14. North Prairie’s two closest games during the regular season were two point victories over TGU and St John. During the playoffs NSAGU defeated both TGU and St John by scores of 40-12 and 44-12 respectfully. In my football playoff preview I had these two teams meeting for the championship. Thompson went on to defeat NSAGU 54-20 in the finals. The Night Hawk volleyball Junior Varsity team went 9-7 and the “C” squad finished well with a 13-1 record. There is a new wrestling team in Region 4 as the Alexander Comets are no longer co-oping with Watford City and are on their own. Watford City dissolved all their co-ops with Alexander to avoid having to move to Class A in other sports for a couple of more years. According to Leslie Beiber, Superintendent, they currently have five wrestlers out. Supt. Bieber

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
CROSS COUNTRY
‘That’s a wrap!’ Cross country coach happy with runners as season ends tion. He shows a dedication to running and I believe he has a great future in this sport. Peyton also received the hardest worker award this year. • Levi Howard improved by one min and two seconds. This was Levi’s first year running XC he did a great job. Levi runs because he loves to run. Sometimes competition will fuel kids in this sport, but his love for running is what he enjoys the most. • Brian Bartholmy improved his time by three min and 16 seconds. Brian received our most improved award this year which was well deserved. Brian was always at practice and worked hard while he was there and it
showed in his improvements. • Morgan Hutzenbiler improved by two min and 43 seconds on the hardest course we ran all year. She did a great job at practice and even if she couldn’t make it she would make time to get a run in. She also received our Team Leader award. She did a great job in making sure everyone would warm up and get ready for each race all while cheering all the others on. Although I had only one season in cross country to see what she was capable of I am excited to see what she will do on the track this spring. • Mitchell Dalley improved by one min and 23 seconds. This was Mitch’s
first year running XC as well and he showed great effort and potential for the years to come. • Cale Schalesky improved almost three minutes this season from prior seasons. Cale trained in the off season this year which really showed in his practices. He was able to really surprise himself in what he was capable of this season. His paces have always been around 7:15 to 7:30 per mile and he finished this season with an average pace of 6:31 per mile. A minute per mile is a great improvement. “I’m very proud of each and every one of these kids and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them in this sport.”

For The Record I asked Stephanie Howe for a post season cross country assessment and as usual she always provides excellent comments. She is going a great job in building this program up. Her comments: • We finished a great season. We placed as a team which is a first for Night Hawk XC. Our JV boys placed second at regionals with Levi Howard, Peyton Tuhy, Mitchell Dalley, and Brian Bartholmy! That was a great accomplishment for them. We had two kids compete at state Cale Schalesky and Sidra Sadowsky. Cale

finished the season with a personal record, his fastest time over 3 seasons. Sidra was 10th to finish in the seventh and eighth grade division and she was 45th overall.” • Sidra improved by two minutes and 31 seconds. She received the hardest worker award this year. She came out to practice every day and gave it her all. Although she is in eighth grade she ran mostly varsity races. Sidra has great potential in this sport. You can tell she runs with her heart. I can honestly say if she sticks with it and trains in the off season she has potential for top 20 at state. I believe she will make it in the top 10. She has the
heart for this sport and it shows at each competition. I’m very proud of how well she has done in the past two years.” • Peyton Tuhy improved by two min and 13 seconds. This was Peyton’s first year running XC. He came to practice every day worked hard and it showed in each competi-

Norman & Harold That’s Life By TONY BENDER
Guest Columnist
Frederick, South Dakota, was a rough-and-tumble town when I grew up there in the 1960s and ‘70s, a small town full of big characters. As a kid, I played pool for money against wobbly cowboys who crossed the border from Ellendale to drink 3.2 beer in the Ponderosa Bar. I didn’t get an allowance. I was served tap beer out the back door when I was in junior high, because that somehow made it more legal. These were the days when my father — his name was Norman — could send a note on a matchbook cover in his small precise penmanship, along with some change: “Give Tony a Grain Belt.” Or a pack of Kools. And they would send the contraband home with me. Hank Witte sometimes drove his John Deere tractor straight from the field and parked it across from the American Legion Bar, where a junior high kid absolutely could not get hard liquor. After all, rules are rules. Some mornings, the tractor was still there. Some nights, a friend followed Hank’s tractor with a car until he was home safely. The town cop was Harold Schlosser, the father of one of my best friends. Though our fathers were mortal enemies, Gare Bare and I were welcome in each other’s homes, the sons hav-
ing much more sense than the fathers when it came to diplomacy. I always likened Harold to John Wayne. If John Wayne was smaller and a sissy. Harold had a deep booming voice. Intimidating. Kind of a bully. But it was effective. Harold rarely arrested anyone. If he saw us burning cookies at the end of Main Street, he just yelled at us. That was plenty scary. Years after I was on my own, I took great pleasure in stopping by the Schlosser’s to reveal my long hair and, one time, an earring. “Yuh, damn pirate!” he roared. I loved Harold. And so I’ve set the stage. Bob Hahn owned the Ponderosa and there was a natural antagonism between Harold and him. To be fair, Harold was just trying to keep the crime rate down to a dull roar. I’m not sure where the bad blood between Harold and my dad came from, but Harold had a way of bringing that out in people. I called my mom Sunday before church, so she could explain exactly how it all started. It turns out she was the provocateur. One night, my parents left the bar with Bob and his wife, Bernice, at closing time. Harold had parked across both lanes of Main Street, using his headlights to spotlight the Ponderosa. “He’s parked illegally. Someone should make a citizen’s arrest,” mom confessed to saying that night. And, off they went, Bob, a squat German with a bartender’s beer belly, and my dad, who had forearms like Fred Flintstone. It turned out Harold didn’t want to be arrested. In fact, he was pretty damn
certain he could park any which way he wanted. Thus, the brawl ensued. It gets fuzzy after that. There wasn’t another car on Main Street. No witnesses. Miraculously, no one was arrested that night. I do remember my father looking particularly sheepish the next morning. He had a few of those mornings. He was a bit of a rogue. Years later, when my father was dying of cancer, he learned Harold had been diagnosed, too. Big, tough Harold. It surprised us all when my father drove down to see him. “Cars about drove off the road to see them sitting together on the front steps,” Mom said. My father never revealed the subject of the conversation, but I think reassurance was the message. Doesn’t that just wreck you? It does me. After that, Harold would stop by the house to share his catch after a day at the lake and even oysters, fresh from the Pacific Coast. Dad, Harold, Bob — they’re all gone now, so no likely repercussions. Just a record of small-town characters who deserve to be remembered. Warts and all. Lots of warts. I had no idea I would be implicating my mother in a street brawl. “When you go to church this morning you better pray for forgiveness,” I told her. She seemed a little defiant. And people wonder why I am the way I am. © Tony Bender, 2016 Tony Bender is the former Editor of the Adams County Record and current President of Redhead Publishing in Ashley, ND.

Know Where You’re Going Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER
Guest Columnist
Hello, By the time you read this, we could be in the throes of our first major storm of the winter. I’m hoping that the people that forecast the weather are the same people that forecast the election results! Yesterday, we had our last deck party of the year. Just Shirley and I and a couple neighbors. But I don’t recall a fall with the wonderful weather we have been enjoying. I mean people are still getting produce from their gardens! In the middle of November! I grew up near Berthold, N.D. Our farm/ranch was in the prairie pothole region of the state. The only trees were around homesteads. There were no creeks or rivers running through the
area. There were no clay buttes of cedar canyons. There is wide-open country with rolling hills and potholes. One year, I suppose it was over 50 years ago, Gary was working for us. He was a classmate of mine and helped out on the ranch whenever he could. He could run equipment, cowboy a little, and was dang good company. It was about this time in the fall and the forecast suddenly called for heavy, wet snow and strong winds. Our cattle were scattered out over several miles of fall grazing across fields, areas of grass, and potholes. Dad and Grandpa knew we had better gather the cattle and bring them into the feed ground, where there was shelter. I think there were five or six of us that saddled up and trotted out of the yard. Dad lined us out in different directions to get the job done before the storm got worse. It got worse in a hurry but the cattle seemed to know they had better head for home and moved easily towards home. When we got to the yard with the cattle

we were one short. Gary. One rider was missing. Grandpa and Dad rode out to look for him. By now it was a rip-snorting blizzard. But being older and wiser, they knew by the wind the direction they were riding. They came across Gary just a mile or so from the yard. He was following a track that was quickly drifting in. He figured it had to be taking him towards the yard. He said when he had started following the trail there was only one horse. Then a bit later another rider joined it. Then he figured there were at least three riders ahead of him so he knew he was close. He had been riding around a hill and following his own tracks. The moral of this story is, “If you are going to follow someone, make sure you know where they are going!” Ride safe out there.

Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON
This was a really great week, with both the weather and the election. We only built a fire in the woodstove one night and almost every day we had to run the air conditioners in the vehicles. Taz went back up to help Sage on their house Monday and Missy was home most of the day taking care of NRCA rodeo stuff. I spent most of the day on the telephone talking with a lot of folks who wanted help to understand all those ballot issues so they knew how they wanted to vote on Election Day. I’m baffled as to why voters approved IM22 that funds politicians using $12 million of taxpayers’ money? Casey went up to Tony Holt’s early Tuesday morning to pick up the three hogs that Tony gets for Casey, Doug and Clint Doll, and us every year. When Casey got home Reub and Taz helped him butcher and hang them in the cooler before we went to Ralph to vote. We visited Louise Jenson after we voted to go through a bunch of old pictures and stuff she rescued from Reub’s Aunt Mary Park’s basement. Among the treasures Louise found was a small wallet containing Tad Olson’s dog tags from WWI. Reub’s uncle Clarence “Tad” Olson was in the Cavalry breaking horses at Fort Keogh near Miles City, Mont. when he died in the Spanish Flu epidemic that killed millions in 1918. Communication wasn’t very good back then, and the way that his parents, Delos and Hattie (Williams) Olson found out about the death of their son was when they got a telegram from the Army asking where they should send his body. Delos and Hattie, Tad, and his brother Lance who died from a broken back in 1919, are all buried in the Reeder Cemetery. Veteran’s Day was Friday and what Louise found reminded me of the death
of my great uncle Gus, also during WWI. He was a full-blood German born in America of immigrant parents and when WWI started Gustav Schmidt changed his name to Gus Smith, joined the Army and went overseas to fight “those darn Germans”. He died in France in 1918, just two days after his 23rd birthday. Gus homesteaded just west of the Slim Buttes and the family sold his homestead after he came home in a coffin. Gus is buried in the cemetery in Lemmon. The way the election turned out was a surprise to just about everyone, especially political pundits and the media. They were all predicting that Hillary would win and they were flabbergasted when Trump won. They didn’t realize that the American people were sick and tired of hearing about all the email and Clinton Foundation scandals, the four Americans she let die in Libya when she was Secretary of State, and her backing of Obamacare, which is presently on life support. Now let’s hope Trump works hard to fulfill all the changes he promised. More good election news: In District 27, Rep. Elizabeth (Marty) May was re-elected to the House and Steve Livermont was elected to the other House seat District 27. Liz was born and raised in Harding County and Steve is married to Paula Hight, who was also born and raised in Harding County. They’ll do well in Pierre. Sam Marty called me before dawn the day after the election to tell me that his aunt, Maxine (Wells) Marty, 91, passed away Tuesday night. Mac’s funeral will be Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 2:00 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church in Sturgis with burial in the Bear Butte Cemetery next to her husband Bill Marty. Mac was a wonderful lady and our sympathy goes out to her family. Missy took Casey to Bismarck Wednesday morning for surgery to remove bone spurs from his left arm. He had the same surgery on his right arm earlier and this was supposed to be easier than the first one, but it turned out to be more complicated. He’s healing up, but it would help if he didn’t

keep forgetting and using it! Matt and Lanie came down this weekend to help these guys cut and wrap the three hogs Tony Holt gave us. Missy’s cousin Rick and Cindy Engels came to visit while their son Wade came to hunt deer. After lunch, we loaded Doll’s pork in Lanie’s car and she took Missy, Cindy, Trace and me up to the Hackamore to deliver the meat and tour the house that Clint and Kelli are having built west of Doug and Jan’s. Stacy and Katie were both home helping Janet get stuff ready for Stacy and Del Ray Kraupie’s wedding this Saturday in Sturgis. The fundraiser for Brady Thompson Saturday evening in Buffalo went very well and quite a bit of money was raised to help with Brady’s medical expenses following the little guy’s many heart surgeries. We sure live in a wonderful place! Trump was elected because he promised to change Washington, D.C. Obama was also elected because he promised ‘Hope and Change,’ and Hillary lost the election because Americans didn’t want a president that supported a continuance of Obama’s kind of change. Sometimes change is wonderful and sometimes change is not so great, as illustrated in this story: There’s an old sea story about a ship’s captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad. The captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally. The first mate responded, “aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!” The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “the captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.” He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now GET TO IT!” THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: Someone may come along and promise “Change”, but don’t count on things smelling any better. Betty Olson is a South Dakota rancher and state legislator for District 28.

Marguerite A. Schmaltz, 89
Mass of Christian Burial for Marguerite A. Schmaltz, 89, of Hettinger, ND was Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Hettinger. Fr. Stephen Folorunso officiated and burial followed at the Hettinger Cemetery. Visitations was from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Centennial Chapel of Evanson Jensen Funeral Home in Hettinger on Tuesday, Nov. 15 and one hour prior to the Mass on Wednesday morning at the Catholic Church. A Rosary/ Vigil will be at 7:00 p.m. at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church on Tuesday evening. Marguerite passed from this life of Friday, Nov. 11, 2016 at the Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger with her family at her side. She is gone now from this world physically but her love and spirit will remain within the hearts of her family. Marguerite was born Oc. 12, 1927 in Hettinger to Ernest M. Tatro and Eva G. Clark Tatro in her grandmothers house. She was the last of 4 children and the only girl, the apple of her Fathers eye. She attended Hettinger Public School and learned the importance of hard work due to the death of her father. She worked for a barber’s wife ironing shirts and cleaning; as a waitress at the City Café before school, during the lunch hour, and back to the café after school until she went to work at the Strand Theatre selling tickets until 9 p.m. at which time she went home to do her homework. She also knew how to have fun and loved to dance so much that she rarely missed a barn dance. At the age of 17 she married the love of her life, Martin Schmaltz on June 28, 1945 and they were blessed with five children. Although she was not Catholic or German, she won her fatherin-law’s heart because even though she was a city girl, she quickly learned how to operate all the farm equipment. For the next 32 years, side by side, they farmed, ranched, and did custom corn cutting. She worked as hard as a man and still could

come in and cook up a storm and go back out to the field working until late at night. She was known for her cooking and ability to whip up a meal like a feast on short notice and invite anyone to join them. Marguerite remained on the farm after Martin’s death in April 1977, still doing all the bookwork and working in the field. She never took time for herself until 1986 when she moved off the farmstead and into Hettinger, at which time she took up the hobbies of golf and bowling. It was at this time that she met her special friend George Green who she enjoyed traveling and playing hours of Cribbage and King’s Corner with. They had a special bond until his death in January 2016. Even after moving to town, she could not give up the love of driving a tractor; and so could be seen mowing her lawn on her John Deere mower, watering her grass and enjoying the country view outside her kitchen window up until she turned 88 years old. Shortly before her 89th birthday, she moved into the Assisted Living in Hettinger where she quickly won the hearts of her caregivers. Marguerite taught her grandchildren how to bowl, golf, cook, and play cards (which they always won at). She loved taking time to attend as many of her grandchildren’s events as possible such as Grandparent’s Day, music and athletic events, of which she was their biggest fan. Marguerite ‘s legacy lives on by her teaching her family the importance of hard work, valuing your family, and giving of yourself without expecting anything in return. She believed strongly in not expecting something for nothing and where there was a will there was a way. Marguerite leaves behind four children: Anita (Ron) Lindquist, Bismarck, ND; Michael (Patricia) Schmaltz, Hettinger, ND; DeAnn (Dennis) Steckler, Menoken, ND and Cheryl (Mark) Schmidt, Bismarck, ND; a son-in-law Charley ( Jane) Reisenauer, Hettinger, ND.

Rollie Grunstead, 92
Rollie Gr unstead, longtime resident of Billings, Mont., met Jesus on Nov. 10, 2016, after a courageous battle with cancer. All of his life, Rollie faced seemingly insurmountable odds with courage and honor. He looked forward to heaven with thoughts of the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7 — “I have fought the good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith.” Rollie was born on July 25,
1924, the son of Edward E. and Susie Wyatt Grunstead. He grew up on a farm in Hettinger, one of seven children. Early on, Rollie learned to act honorably, work hard and serve God and others — first, as his dad’s right-hand man, and then as the second oldest in a family devastated by the early death of their father. The unexpected death of his father and the eventual loss of the farm gave Rollie a heart for children, especially those without a father or those in need. As a result, Rollie became a faithful, livelong supporter of The Boys and Girls Club. Upon graduation from high school, he was drafted into the US Army 418th Squad of the 8th Air Force and served in “The Bloody Hundredth” as a ball turret gunner in a B-17 Bomber out of England. When he arrived at the Registrars, they couldn’t believe this babyfaced 19-year-old claimed five dependents (mother and siblings). Despite of overwhelming odds, he survived 35 missions and came home safely. He was honorably discharged with several medals after serving with the crew of “Andy’s Dandy’s.” Upon arriving home from the war, he was offered and played football on a scholarship at Dickinson State Teacher’s College (DSU) and Macalester College in Minnesota. Rollie married Millie Solem in 1949, prior to graduating from the University of Montana with a degree in business/accounting demonstrating his fortitude early on. From this union, four children were born. Using his skills of hard work and integrity, and demonstrating his ability to be a team player, he worked his way up in the Continental Oil Company (Conoco).
pointment. In the evening, Thelma Sandgren attended the Thanksgiving supper at Homestead Heights. Friday Steve Sandgren and Ray Lepka of Mitchell were lunch guests of Thelma Sandgren. Thelma Sandgren’s granddaughter Leslie Kling and her great grandson Tucker Francis came out to the Sandgren ranch for lunch and to see Thelma Saturday. Steve Sandgren and Nick Steen of Alaska who is a Buck Deer hunter were also lunch guests. MEADOW Judy Lewis of Sturgis spent the weekend with Art and Marilyn Christman. SPRING BUTTE Teri Schaff went deer hunting Monday morning. Later in the afternoon Veronica Klein and Kitsu went with her. Teri did not get her deer and returned home to Williston. Morell Hirning was an early Tuesday morning coffee guest of Vernon Klein.
Hope Klein took Vern, Roni and Jim Klein and Jade Schaff out for supper Wednesday evening. Anthony Schaff showed up at the Klein farm Friday afternoon to take Jim Klein deer hunting. They were home by dark for supper. James Klein - Anthony Schaff - and Jesse Crouch went deer hunting together Saturday. In the evening, Anthony Schaff took Vern, Roni, Hope and James Klein and Jade Schaff out for dinner. Afterwards we all went to the Turkey Jamboree. Jesse and Elyse Crouch and daughters and Howie Geist also attended the Jamboree. Tiss Johnson and Morell Hirning were brief Sunday visitors at the Klein’s. Anthony Schaff, Jesse Crouch and James Klein went deer hunting. Bob Johnson (from Lemmon) stopped in for a short visit. Tiss Johnson is a local columnist, reporting on community news from around the region.
When they offered him a high position in the company, he opted to stay in Montana to raise his family. He grew to be an astute businessman who grew a small start into a large, successful business (GM Petroleum). Rollie remained an honorable, hardworking, compassionate, kind, generous man of integrity. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather who spent many hours attending the sporting events of his many children and grandchildren. Upon the death of his first wife, Millie, he courted Joy Kilby Rech, who was a family friend and business associate. They were married in 1993 in Killingworth, Conn. His family was then enriched with four additional children. Because he loved and desired to bless people as he had been blessed, he helped many people get a new start in life. Thus, he was involved in many organizations, including the following service clubs: Director of The Boys and Girls Club of Billings; Board of the Rotary Club in which he was a lifetime member; lifetime member of the Elk’s Lodge; IDEA sponsor for deaf children in the Philippines; member of the Western Petroleum Marketers Association; member of the Montana Petroleum Marketers Association; Advisory Board for Conoco. Rollie was an avid golfer who was a charter member of the Laurel Golf Club, as well as a member of Hilands Golf Club. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling and all sports. Rollie is survived by his loving wife, Joy; and their children, Bill (Anita) Grunstead, Shelley (Chuck) Robbins, Laurie ( Jim) Murphy, Sue (Gary) Lucas, Mitch (Doreen) Rech, Craig
(Patsy) Rech, Clint (Callie) Rech, Stacey (Stewart) Grady; 17 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Rollie is also survived by his siblings: brother Don, sisters Lorraine, Ruth and Blanche. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Leo and sister Alice. The family would like to thank the RiverStone Health Hospice Home for the excellent, loving care of a very special man. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to the Boys and Girls Club of Billings, RiverStone Health Hospice Home, the Montana Rescue Mission of Billings, or a charity of your choice. Memorial services will be at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, at Faith Chapel, 517 S. Shiloh Road. Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary is assisting with arrangements.

Basin Electric and the Participating Members further give notice that on or after January, 1, 2017, they will file with FERC a joint petition for waiver of certain obligations under Section 292.303 of the FERC’s Regulations. Part 292 of FERC’s Regulations sets forth the requirements regarding arrangements between electric utilities and QFs. Part 292 requires electric utilities to purchase and sell energy and capacity from and to QFs. Under the proposed Implementation Plan (and subject to terms and conditions imposed pursuant thereto), Basin Electric and the Participating Members would agree to (1) permit any QF to interconnect with the transmission or distribution system of any Participating Member to the extent such QF is entitled to interconnection under Part 292; (2) permit any QF with a capacity of 150 kW or more to sell energy and capacity to Basin Electric at rates that comply with Part 292 to the extent that (a) a Participating Member would otherwise be required to purchase from such QF and (b) the QF delivers power to the Participating Member’s system at a point where the Participating Member provides retail service with energy purchased from Basin Electric; and (3) permit any QF, regardless of capac-
ity, to purchase supplementary, backup, maintenance and interruptible power on either a firm or nonfirm basis from a Participating Member at rates that comply with Part 292. The proposed Implementation Plan may be modified based on public comments, FERC’s response to the petition for waiver described below, or otherwise as appropriate. The proposed Implementation Plan is available for review by interested parties at the offices of Basin Electric. Copies will be sent to interested parties upon request. Written comments on the proposed Implementation Plan must be submitted on or

date, time and location of any such hearing(s) will be sent to each person requesting a hearing. A representative of Basin Electric and the Participating Members will be present at the hearing(s). In connection with the proposed Implementation Plan, and pursuant to Section 292.402 of FERC’s Regulations, on or after January 1, 2017, Basin Electric, on be-
half of itself and the Participating Members, intends to apply for a waiver of certain obligations under Section 292.303 of FERC’s Regulations which, if granted, would result in all purchases from QFs being made by Basin Electric and all sales to QFs interconnected with the Participating Members being
