According to the Bismarck office of the National Weather Ser vice, the southwestern are of North Dakota avoided the biggest hit over the weekend when a large winter storm hit Montana and North Dakota with snowfall getting as high as 10 inches in parts of the Peace Garden state. In Bowman and surrounding counties, the snowfall was much less, but with travel being impacted on the state highways with blowing snow and patches of ice on the roads. The weather service office in Bismarck predicted that the Bowman area would get between one and two inches of snow from the weekend storm, while the rest of the region would get between four to six inches. But the storm was the first wave as a frigid cold moved into the state after ward, dropping

H
e was called a ‘gentle giant’ at his Celebration of Life Monday in the New England Public School gymnasium. But Shawn Flaherty proved even bigger than that, drawing more than 650 people to remember his life and impact on the small North Dakota town he had called home. That is more than the city’s population of 602. Flaherty was back in Tiger town for the second time when he was killed in a traffic accident Dec. 4 in Dickinson. He came to the Hettinger County city in the 1980s and spent nearly a decade on the sidelines before moving on to coach and teach at Central Valley High School in the small California community of Shasta Lake near Redding and also at Liberty Christian. While at New England, he helped coach a New England-Regent-St. Mary’s football team that won a state football championship (1988) and a New England-Regent squad that was second (1985). He also coached basketball teams that won District 29 titles in 1985 and 1986. Several years ago, Flaherty returned to New England. He coached the varsity basketball team for two years before handing the reins to a former player. He still was on the sidelines, most recently guiding
the youth football team. Michael Schatz, a longtime friend and coaching
colleague, told the people attending of one time the pair thought having a
hamburger stand downtown during the city’s centennial celebration would be a good idea. Schatz recalled that with all the food competition they sold only a few. They decided to stay open as the competition closed. Schatz recalled that Flaherty would go around shouting “hey hamburgers” with his big booming voice. “By 3 a.m. we had sold more than 1,100. “I know if I ever want to
talk to Shawn, all I have to do is go outside and shout ‘hey hamburgers’,” he said looking upwards.” “We were each other's assistants, so we spent a lot of time together. I saw him as a breath of fresh air. “After just four short years, he led us to the state basketball tournament.... a place we had not been since 1942. He taught me and many others how to win the big game which can be one of the most elusive things that there is,” Schatz said to the crowd that filled the gymnasium completely. “If I could sum up Shawn in one word, it would be passionate. Shawn was all in for whatever he was passionate about. And he made you passionate as well. He was a force of nature, uncompromising about what he thought was right. He would eat, sleep and drink basketball or whatever sport he was coaching,” he added. Schatz said Flaherty was a big part of the New England family. “He would do anything for you. He was one of the most entertaining people I have ever met. He loved greeting the children when they came in from the outside. “He was that gentle giant of a man that all kids could look up to, willing to help when other people didn't want to. Anything that benefited kids, Shawn would be there,” his longtime friend added. “Shawn was a miracle, sent to New England to help us and to teach us and to coach us,” Schatz said.

n Weather Continued from Page A1 the temperatures into single digits along Highway 12 and down into -15 degrees and colder in other areas of the state. With wind chills, the temperatures dropped to as cold as -35 degrees in some areas Monday. By Tuesday, the temperature improved to in the 20s along Highway 12, while the eastern half of the state was stuck with sub-zero temperatures. The coldest recorded wind chill temperature in the state Tuesday was recorded at the Rugby Airport with a reading of minus 43 degrees. Nearby Watford City was only three degrees warmer. According to state statistics, the Bowman County area received about two to three inches from the storm even though a travel alert was issued for
the southwestern and central sections of the state. The region was also hit with extremely foggy conditions at times along Highway 12 and also ice on the roads and highways. According to Dean Pearson, the Bowman County Emergency Ser vices Manager, said that his office has a booklet available for people to pick up on how to prepare for winter, both for homes and how to handle winter driving conditions. According to Pearson, the booklet has a list of all the equipment you are supposed to have in a vehicle if you are traveling or all the things you need to do in a house, not only for the winter but for summer storms or other kinds of emergencies. He warned residents need to be careful if they use any alternate fuel sources for heating their homes. “It isn't just space heaters, but any kind of heaters,”
he said. “Just be careful when you are adding any extra heat, no matter what the source.” When it comes to traveling in extreme weather conditions, Pearson advised that people should check out the road conditions before going on a trip. “...Not just where you are going to, but the route as well. Make sure that you have a winter sur vival kit on board and have some means of contacting somebody,” he added. “Be cognizant of the fact that (road) conditions change. Even though it might be sunny here, it might not be as warm or it might be freezing rain somewhere else. “Things may change, so be cognizant of your surroundings,” he advised, adding that using the North Dakota Road Conditions phone app or listening to the radio can help. “Just don't mess with your phone while diving,” he added.

Your community’s views
PASTOR'S CORNER: Home Since the very beginning the people of God (Christians and the church) have been asking how do we live in a society and culture that thinks Jesus is irrelevant to their lives at best or maybe even outright dismissive or hostile. In Jeremiah 29 the Jewish exiles find themselves in a crisis of faith and while God’s people are not in exile we find the culture shifting in ways that are shocking and difficult for us. Fast and traumatic change that can catch us off guard does not defeat the Lord’s plans and in the midst of what may seem like desperate circumstances Jesus is still working. God has a plan for His people and our community no matter what happens to our economy and what struggles we face as individuals or as a nation. God had placed His people in a place they did not want to be in Jeremiah 29 in exile in Babylon in a culture that was foreign to them. Many who are reading this article have spent your whole life here or much life here and yet in our
Brad Mosher Reporter
mobile society there are many in our community who have not spent much of their life here yet. We are searching for permanence and we will not find it in a location, town, or state. I love Bowman, Bowman/Slope County and our region. Yet, for the follower of Jesus this world, this life is only the beginning. We have a responsibility to be peacemakers and to pray and do what we can to make our town and county better, but we will also never succeed in finding total fulfillment in that labor alone. The home we long for is the place Jesus is preparing for His people ( John 14). Whether we have lived in Bowman, Bowman county or our area for a month, a year, 5 years, or 50+ years that we will be reminded that our call as followers of Jesus is to pray, bear witness and contend for the transforming power of Jesus and the Gospel in our community in tangible ways, by us His people. And, to remember that Jesus has us where He wants us, if we are following Him, and if we are not following Him that He is right here to welcome us home if we will come and seek Jesus’ love and forgiveness.

Vail, Benjamin Schaaf, Chuck Headley, Peggy Allen, Bill Mason, Todd Hofland, Stacy McGee and Jon Brosz. Absent: None President James called the meeting order at 4:00 pm. Motion by Shear, second by Schaaf to approve the agenda as presented. RCV= all aye, MN.

HOFLAND Dept. Head Report: They have been helping the refuse department. Post Office: The Postmistress wants to know if the City can go through the parking lot at the post office with sand when it is icy. Hofland stated that they do throw sand on the street in front of the post office, hoping the cars will drag the sand with them when they drive into the parking lot. They can go through the parking lot with the sand truck but only when there are no cars there. They don’t want to cause damage to any cars or windows. MCGEE: Sewer Rate: McGee explained how the current Sewer rate is calculated: $10.50 fixed rate for the first 7,000 gallons and $.60 cents per 1,000 gallons thereafter. However, a seasonal average is done based on the past two years during the heavy watering months. The average adds confusion to customers when trying to calculate their bills. McGee and Mason suggested to change the rate to a flat fixed rate of $11.00 for residents with meters who have meters under 1”. Customers who have meters 1” or greater will have a fixed charge of $11.00 for the first 7,000 gallons plus $.60 cents per 1,000 thereafter. Motion by Limesand, second by Schaaf to approve the change in the sewer rate effective for January 2020 usage, all meters under 1” will have a flat rate of $11.00 and all meters over 1” will have a rate of $11.00 per 7,000 gallons and $0.60 thereafter per 1,000 gallons used. RCV= all aye, MC. Longevity Scale: With the hiring of new refuse employees, the base salaries were reviewed for competitiveness in surrounding towns. Research showed the last time the base salaries were reviewed and adjusted to stay competitive was in 2010. It was the Commission intentions to revisit base rates every 3 to 5 years in every department which was an oversight. To keep the scale in balance with responsibilities a small adjustment is recommended to all departments of $40 on to the base salaries until further research can be discussed during budget time. Motion by Limesand, second by Shear to approve the base salary increase of $40.00 onto base for the employee effective on January 1, 2020. RCV= all aye, MC. Refuse: Two applicants for the Refuse position have been hired. Starting dates for the new employees are November 21, 2019 and January 2, 2020. After further discussion it was decided to hire a fourth employee to keep a full staff in the refuse department. ALLEN: Festival of Lights Street Blocking: Allen requested to have Divide Street blocked off from the Cenex alleyway to the end of the City Park block on 2nd Ave SW for the Festival of Lights in the City Park. Motion by Limesand, second by Shear to approve the street blocking request on Divide Street for the festival of lights. RCV= all aye, MC. JAMES: Museum Letter of Support: James said the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum had asked for a Letter of Support from the City for a grant from the Historical Society for a Trails Project they have. James signed the letter of support. VAIL/BROSZ/MASON: Water Tank Rehab: Brosz presented a possible grant for the water tower repair project. The cost of the repairs of the water tower would be approximately $858,000 for both projects. There was discussion on if we should just get a new tower but there is no room on the current easement for a new tower. A new tower could cost around $1.4 Million plus land and easement fees. There isn’t a timeline for getting the grant application in. Brosz just wants to know if we want him to investigate it more. Motion by Vail, second by Limesand to have Brosz investi-
gate pursuing the funding sources for rehab of the water towers. RCV= all aye, MC. Combined DOT and Safe Routes Projects: Brosz hasn’t heard from Pam Wenger regarding combining all the projects.

Lyn James President of City Commission Peggy Allen Financial Auditor __________________________ Published in Bowman County Pioneer Dec 13, 2019 November 6, 2019 Slope County Commission Regular Meeting The meeting was called to order at 9 A.M. by Chairman Ouradnik with Commissioners Sonsalla and Teske present. Commissioner Teske presented a motion to approve the minutes of the October meeting as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Sonsalla and passed with all in favor. Colleen Germann, Slope County Treasurer, met with the commissioners to notify them that she has received the 2015-2017 PILT underpayment. Commissioner Teske presented a motion to put the PILT underpayment of $1319.00 into the general fund. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Sonsalla and passed with all in favor. Colleen informed the commissioners that the safety deposit box key has been lost and the box will need to be drilled and rekeyed. Discussion was held on checking interest and the difference between the local banks. Kristie Jacobson, Slope County Clerk & Recorder, met with the commissioners to discuss what to do with the microfiche of the recorder’s records. The previous records had been transferred from the salt mines to the State Heritage Center but that was found to be extremely expensive. Starting in 2019 there will no longer be microfilm made so there are just a few to take care of. It was decided to store them in the safety deposit box for now. Discussion was also held on the roving deputy job opening which will close on November 22. There will be an interview committee comprised of Mike Teske, Mike Sonsalla, Kristie Jacobson, and Lorrie Buzalsky with Scott Ouradnik and Erin Melling also present. Also discussed was the possibility of applying for a court grant. Due to the resignation of the current janitor, an ad will be run for two weeks offering the job at $18 per hour for up to 15 hours per week. Rob Rayhorn, DOT, met with the commissioners to give an update on the state highway construction. The plans are to widen and add shoulders to Hwy 21 in 2020, to apply an overlay to Hwy 67 in 2021 and an overlay to Hwy 12 from Bowman to the Montana line in 2022. Also discussed were ice control plans for the winter. Typically plows will run from 5 A.M. to 7 P.M with Interstate 94, Highway 85 and Highway 12 having priority if things get bad. Also discussed was combining county federal aid projects with DOT projects to get a better price. The commission meeting was recessed at 10 A.M. and the appraisal hearing for lands acquired through tax foreclosure was called to order. Having no one present to protest the minimum sale price set at the October Commission meeting, the appraisal hearing was adjourned and the commission meeting was reconvened. Nathan Miller, Slope County Road Foreman, met with the commissioners to discuss purchasing a drop on water tank for the truck. The cost would be $34,000 plus the cost of a PTO system which would be purchased under the 2019 budget. Also discussed was trading off the blade mower and purchasing a refurbished mulcher for the John Deere blade. Fisher Sand and Gravel is currently crushing gravel at the Paul Brooks pit. Nathan plans to prospect for gravel on the Schneider land near the Gary Gussey residence. At 10:30 propane bids were opened. Bids for cash off posted

ty to offset and/or assist with the investigation and case work of drug-related criminal offenses, other criminal justice matters, or any other use allowed by law. Only state, county, or city law enforcement agencies, as “law enforcement agency” is defined by N.D.C.C. Section 19-03.1-36.8(1), including any multijurisdictional task force, within the jurisdiction of Slope County shall be entitled to submit applications for, or be appropriated, forfeited property or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property from the Fund. The Board shall meet periodically as deemed necessary by the Board and receive and review all applications and submit recommendations to the Commission for authorization of all expenditures or disbursements of property or funds in an amount of $2,500 and over for final approval. A majority of the Board is needed for a recommendation for approval or denial. The Commission hereby provides the Board authorization, without requiring further Commission review and approval, to award application requests of property or funds in an amount under $2,500 subject to a cap of no more than $30,000 per fiscal year in total expenditures regardless of the type or number of law enforcement agency applications. For applications requesting property or funds in an amount under $2500, only a single application may be submitted by the law enforcement agency and considered by the Board for each requested event, activity, or use. A majority of the Board is needed for approval. Upon approval by the Board of an application for property or funds in an amount under $2,500, no further review or approval by the Commission is required. If the Board denies an application for property or funds of an amount under $2,500, the Board’s decision will be considered an advisory recommendation only and the applicant may appeal to the Commission by giving written notice, within three (3) days of the Board’s decision, to the Board of the applicant’s intention to appeal. Upon receiving the applicant’s timely written notice, the Board shall notify the Slope County Auditor of the appeal and such appeal shall be placed on the Commission’s agenda and heard and considered by the Commission at the next available regularly scheduled meeting. The decision of the Commission is final. If a recommendation to deny an application is made by the Board, the Board must provide adequate documentation as to the reason for the denial and provide its reasoning to the applicant, and also forward the application, other application materials, if any, and its recommendation for denial and reasons therefor to the Slope County Auditor to be provided to the Commission prior to the next available regularly-scheduled Commission meeting. Except as stated herein regarding applications for property or funds of an amount under $2,500 approved by the Board, decisions by the Board regarding applications are only advisory recommendations to the Commission, and the Board’s decision is not binding on the Commission as the final decision-maker. All grant applications, regardless of the amount, must be submitted to the Board on the form approved by the Board and the Commission, and must be complete and timely. The Board and/ or the Commission, as the case may be, are the sole judge of the completeness and timeliness of any application. The Board and/ or Commission, as the case may
be, shall have the right to request additional information or materials from the applicant before considering or deciding on the application. No application shall be submitted, and no application shall be considered, for forfeited property or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property from the Fund for expenditures already made by the applicant. Any law enforcement agency making a request for forfeited property or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property from the Fund must have directly contributed to the Fund or have a significant impact within the criminal justice system of Slope County as determined by the Board and/ or the Commission, as the case may be. For applications to be submitted to the Commission for final approval as required by this policy, the Board shall forward the application and other application materials, if any, along with its recommendation, to the Slope County Auditor to be considered by the Commission at its next available regularly-scheduled meeting. The Board shall also inform the applicant of its recommendation and provide information to the applicant of the date and time when the application will be heard and considered by the Commission. A majority of the Commission is needed for approval. The Commission’s decision on any application is final. If the application is approved by the Board and/or Commission, as the case may require, the Board will notify the applicant and ensure forfeited property or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property from the Fund will be utilized in the manner stated in the approved application. Approved applications will be processed and disbursed in the same manner and following the same procedures as expenditures or disbursements are processed and disbursed from the Slope County General Fund. This policy, the submission and processing applications under this policy, and the disbursement of forfeited property or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property under this policy is subject to N.D.C.C. Sections 19.1-03.1-36.1 through 19-03.1-36.8. Discussion was held on the Game & Fish pilot project to post land with an electronic database and Slope County’s potential involvement.

Don't Let Fake Charities Be a Grinch D
id you know that nearly one-third of annual charity giving occurs in December? It is the time of year that charities count on. Scammers also count on success this time of year. They use the same techniques as trusted charities to reach you – in person, by mail, over the phone, online, by text, or by e-mail. The name of a fake charity may closely resemble the name of a real charity. The fake char-
ity might ask you to wire money or give cash. This should be a red flag. Scammers will put pressure on you to act quickly, before you have a chance to think through your decision or do any research. That’s another red flag. You may also receive a thank-you for a donation you don’t recall making. Making you think you’ve already given to the cause is a common

trick unscrupulous fundraisers use to lower your resistance. Research charities before making a donation. It’s easy to do – check out charities at www.give. org or www.charitynavigator.org before giving any money. The Federal Trade Commission suggests making an annual donation plan to list out the causes you will support and which reputable charities will receive your money. If you are approached in person, ask for identification and details about the charity, including its full name and address, and how they will use the funds. If the person can’t furnish this information, close your door or walk away. If you have any doubt at all, tell them you will follow up on the organization’s website or by phone. If you think you have fallen victim to a scam, call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 877-908-3360 for guidance and support. AARP North Dakota has volunteers trained to give small group presentations to help protect North Dakotans from fraud and scams. If an organization or ser vice club in your community would like to host a scam presentation, contact us by phone at 866-554-5383 or by email at aarpnd@aarp.org.
