Bowman prepares for more cold after icy weekend STAFF REPORT

ost of the MoDak region was still digging out this week after a being hit with a coat of ice Nov. 28, followed by more than a day of snow. In North Dakota, the ice first hit, covering most of the western edge of the state with between a quarter of an inch to half an inch of ice on ever ything from trees, lawns, cars and roads. But along the southwestern edge, the snow added between six and 12 inches in the region. New England reported six inches, while it grew to more than a foot in some parts of North Dakota. According to the National Weather Ser vice Office in Bismarck, the region was able to avoid most of the storm impact because it took a more southern route and hit the state of South Dakota much harder than the western edge of North Dakota and the eastern edge of Montana. Still, western North Dakota was

Next Door Pizza opening

he newest restaurant in Bowman opened its doors to big business and a long “rush hour” when Next Door Pizza opened along Highway 12 in Bowman Monday. The second pizzeria opened in Bowman to a full parking lot and a dining area filled with customers and it stayed that way. According to the owner, it was a successful transition since the business moved into the former Subway location at 604 Highway 12 recently. He posted about the successful start on his Facebook page, saying “day one of our Bowman location is the books. Relatively smooth day, but still presented ourselves with challenges to learn from and correct as quickly as we can. Overall it was a huge success and every Next Door Pizza opened its doors to big business Monday when it finished replacing the former Subway in the location along day we will get better.” Highway 12 in Bowman.

There is a strong law enforcement presence in the smallest county seat in the state of North Dakota. A Slope County Sheriff vehicle is parked along the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway as it passes through Amidon. PHOTOS/Brad Mosher

In the small North Dakota town of Amidon, there is a deputy who is always on duty. It doesn’t matter what the weather is like in Slope County. He is there in the rain. He is there when it is a blizzard. He is there during summer hot spells with temperatures in triple digits. He is also there night and day.

He never takes a day off and doesn’t get any overtime. He doesn’t even take a lunch break from his parking place along Highway 22 as travelers pass through the smallest county seat in the state of North Dakota. Slope County Sheriff Rory Teigen has only been there for several years, having taken over for the former sheriff, Pat Lorge in the spring of 2018. But he recalls that the stationary vehicle holding a uniformed mannequin has been on duty for a long,

long time and has become a community and tourist fixture. “He works real cheap,” the sheriff said with a chuckle. “He is really dedicated to his job.” Teigen, who was the sheriff in Bowman for 23 years before moving north, said that life in Slope County is somewhat slower. It was his predecessor, who put the vehicle at the corner of Main Street and Highway 22 (the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway) in an effort to slow traffic down in the small commu-

nity of 22 people. “Pat was the sheriff here before me and he was here for about 30 years,” he said. “Through the years, I know the heads have been stolen, but they have always got them back.” The idea to place a vehicle along Highway 22 was an effort to slow the traffic at a time when the community still had students going to a local school. The school is now closed, with students either attending New England or Bowman schools. But the plastic deputy

has remained on duty. “We are getting something constantly, either a picture and somebody saying they stopped. We get feedback. They like it. “A lot of people do stop and take pictures of it when they go through town,” the sheriff added. It was after a Burger and Brats event in Amidon during the Slope County Fair that the stationary cruiser picked up the Canadian decal on the driver’s side of the vehicle, he added.

border. “There was some talk a while back about doing it in Marmarth, but it didn’t get too far,” the former county sheriff said. On duty since the 80s The deputy went on duty in the late 1980s, according to Lorge. “We were trying to slow traffic down through town,” he said. Thanks to a car donated by Claire Cledenen, who worked at the post office as a mail carrier, and a mannequin, the county seat of Amidon was able to add a perpetual traffic control officer. “He put ‘Slope County Sheriff’ on it and a mannequin in it and away we went. It was just an old car he had quit driving, so he gave it to us.” Between the mannequin and a radar speed sign Amidon placed on the highway, the speeds dropped dramatically. The cities of Amidon

and Marmarth were able to get a grant to help get the radar speed signs placed in both communities, Lorge explained. The former sheriff added that the vehicle is also a geo-cache. “I have never looked at the book, but some people go there and sign it.” One reason some people think there may have been more than one member of the county’s plastic police was the fact that the sheriff would put a wig on the figure from time to time.

Whether the mannequin was wearing a wig or not, the car and figure had a dramatic impact on the speeds going through the town, Lorge said. “It was the cheapest deputy you could hire.” It wasn’t until later that Amidon added the radar speed sign. “That also helped.” In Marmarth, the speed sign alone has helped slow the Highway 12 traffic going through the biggest city in the county, the former sheriff added.

Hat Tips brought to you by:

DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist Hello, December is a tough month for me. My notes are due at the bank. My calves are just weaned and usually I have to doctor a few that catch a cold after weaning. The snow is starting to accumulate and I have to dig through the drifts to find stuff I left to pick up tomorrow. I start to count my hay bales and see how many I can feed a day and still make it to May. And, this is the kicker; Shirley’s birthday is next week. You know by now that I am not much of a shopper. If they had a liquor store at Runnings or Tractor Supply, I could possibly never venture into another store the rest of my life. I’m a simple man. But I feel that I

Dakota Community Bank

must do some shopping for my wife on her special day. Which is very near the “Day of Infamy”. Do you think this is a mere coincidence? I remember thirty years ago or so when I bought her the “Thighmaster” that Suzanne Sommers advertised on TV. That really didn’t go over as well as I had hoped. Never mind the “Buttmaster” that came free with it. It was cold sleeping in the garage. That was a cold December. But all in all she is pretty easy to shop for. This year she wants a bale feeder for the saddle horses. Now I can handle that. And she would like to buy herself some new winter boots. The bottoms are coming off her old ones and her feet get wet. You know she can get anything she would like, but I said, “If you buy new boots, you have to throw the worn out boots away.” That woman hates to throw anything away. It’s a hereditary thing. I remember when we cleaned out her mother’s basement. There was a bucket labeled “this bucket leaks, don’t use it”. Really. There was a box of string labeled “strings too short to use”. I’m not lying. So you can see how hard it was to throw

away a pair of worn out boots. I took her to a movie over the weekend. Have you been to a movie lately? I booked the tickets online so I we didn’t have to sit in the front row in front of a giant screen. Senior tickets for the matinee were only five dollars. At the theatre. Online, with the surcharges, they were nine fifty. Nineteen dollars for two tickets. Still, her birthday is coming up. We decided to split a pop and a popcorn. A medium sized pop is more expensive than the movie tickets! And I had to call my loan officer to see if it was alright to order a medium popcorn (extra butter). It looks to me like if you took a family to the movies; you had better fill them up with mac and cheese before you get to the movie. And that expensive popcorn, the kernels were so small that I used the straw from the pop to eat the popcorn. But I will tell you this; the reclining seats are a treat. And the movie was good. I don’t know how I got off on this. I have to go buy a hay feeder for Shirley.

PASTOR'S CORNER: Gift Presence PASTOR MARY WIGGINS I need to confess to you all that November and December stress me out. It goes beyond the professional demands of this busy time and my annoyance at the phenomenon known as the “Christmas Creep”. I think part it is a result of all those extra holiday expectations. And I am guessing I am not the only one. One of these expectations is gift giving. I like giving gifts, but when it feels right. Finding gifts for ever yone just adds extra pressure. There is the person who is hard to buy for, the worr y that you forgot someone, budgeting for it all, the obligator y people you have to give to, and the pressure to buy ever ywhere. Just to name a few things. During the Advent and Christmas Seasons, I think we should focus on gifts, but not

the ones that we can buy. Because,“ The Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world”(1 John 4:4b.) The cause for our anticipation and our celebration at Christmas, is the gift of God becoming incarnate as Jesus Christ. God like us and God for us. As it says in Matthew 1:21, “She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” We have been given the best gift in the world in Jesus. John 3:17 says, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” This saving love of God, assures that nothing that we have done or have failed to do can separate us from the love of God. We have been saved and have received salvation. And as a result of God’s endless mercy, we are set free from constantly having to worr y about ourselves and our own achieve-

ment. Our actions do not affect God’s love for us, but our actions can make the difference to our neighbors that God also deeply loves. I believe that the best gifts that we can give this season are each other. We can spend those precious moments, not stressing, but doing things with those we love. We can spend our time giving to our community and our neighbors in need bringing them joy. We can spend our time on experiences and sharing our gifts and talents with the others. Or using our time to recharge. It has been a rough year. May be we can spend our time this season not spending for obligations sake, but by spending and giving in order to create simple joy in our communities and our lives. Afterall, we have already been given the best gift out there. Let’s enjoy it this season and remember it with one another.

Dakota Datebook

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Three Calvins and a Cook Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm December 2, 2019 — North Dakota has had two different towns named Calvin. The first one, in Rolette County, consisted of a rural post office established October 23, 1899. The postmaster was named Ira Eisenhour, but his job was short lived. His post office order was rescinded almost exactly a year later, and that was the end of Calvin number one. The second town of Calvin was – and still is – near the Canadian border in Cavalier County. It was founded as a Great Northern Railroad townsite in 1902. The first postmaster was Reverend David Sykes, who named the town for John Calvin, the founder of the Presbyterian Church. It’s interesting that John Calvin had changed his name from his birth name of Jean Chauvin. In Latin, Calvin means bald. The official newspaper of Calvin during the 1920s was called the Western Cavalier County Independent. In April 1926, the paper featured a story about a young woman who had made good in Washington, D.C., where she worked for a man named. . . Calvin. “When President Calvin Coolidge breakfasts on his usual fare of toast and coffee,” the article read, “he is assured of the best in quality and service, for the hands that prepare the repast are those of a North Dakota girl, Miss Elsie Rodenhauser, who formerly resided near Langdon, Cavalier County, where she was born on the family homestead. “Her father, Peter Rodenhauser, moved with this family from Buffalo, N.Y., onto a government homestead in Cavalier County, but some years later sold out and moved to Mitchellville, Maryland, where he purchased a 500 acre farm about 18 miles from Washington, where the family now reside. “Miss Rodenhauser,” the article continued, “a tall brunette with wavy black hair, deep blue eyes and rosy cheeks, early sought employment in the capital city, taking up work in the home of an Under-Secretary of State, who later became Ambassador to Belgium. Here she attracted the attention of Mrs. Warren G. Harding, who when her former employer went abroad took Miss Elsie to the White House as Assistant Cook. “That was 4 years ago, when she was only eighteen. Then, when the Hardings went out and the Coolidge family took possession of the Executive Mansion, no changes were made in the personnel of so important as the culinary department,” the article finished. Calvin Coolidge became president when Warren Harding died in office in 1923. Coolidge was shy and was known as Silent Cal, but his First Lady, Grace, helped people warm to him. Elsie Rodenhauser and the other White House staff called Mrs. Coolidge “Sunshine” because of her bright disposition. For example, when her puritanical husband once forbade

Grace to speak in public, she countered by answering reporters in sign language; one of her closest friends was Helen Keller. Coolidge also didn’t want Grace to fly in a plane, bob her hair, wear pants or ride horses, but she became famous for her sense of fashion and was known for wearing red. President Coolidge wasn’t all doom and gloom, however – he was actually famous for his dry wit, and he indulged his love of animals by keeping six dogs, two cats and a raccoon named Rebecca in the executive mansion. Elsie Rodenhauser surely learned another trait of his lighter side – he loved playing practical jokes on the White House staff. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Catherine Geiszler Vanourny Dakota Datebook written by Karen Horsley December 3, 2019 — On this date in 1909, Charles and Catherine Vanourny had been married only a day, but it’s unlikely they were honeymooning. They were, after all, frugal, hard-working Germans from Russia. A 31-yearold widower, Charles had homesteaded his 160-acre farm southeast of Ashley. His new bride was 25-yearold Catherine Geiszler. According to the book “Women of the Northern Plains” by Barbara Handy-Marchello, Catherine’s mother reared her “in the ordinary fashion of the prairie, teaching the oldest to mind the younger ones and to manage some simple household tasks while (mother) worked in the fields. By the age of five … Catherine looked after the babies while her parents were out of the house” and she was also taught to “start the fire to heat the noon meal when the sun reached a certain spot on the floor.” Catherine was only thirteen when her life changed dramatically. Capricious, uncontrollable fires were common on the dry, flat prairie. One afternoon two of her younger sisters had gone to bring in the cows as prairie fires danced nearby. Noting a change in the wind, her mother rushed home from the field and found the girls, each grasping the tail of a terrified cow, racing for home, but little Annie’s foot caught in a gopher hole and her mother reached her just as the flames engulfed them. Hours later, Annie died. Their mother hung on for fifteen days, desperately instructing Catherine in the details of housework and childcare despite incredible pain. Drawing her last breath, she asked Catherine to “be good to your stepmother, knowing that (her husband) would undoubtedly remarry in order to keep his family together.”

Less than two months later, he did remarry. Catherine was no doubt a great help to her eighteenyear-old stepmother as they cared for the house and six younger siblings, as well as thirteen additional children who would be born to her stepmother. This undoubtedly left Catherine well prepared to start her own family, as she began married life on the prairie, over one-hundred years ago. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Red Cross Instructions Dakota Datebook written by Jim Davis December 4, 2019 — In 1905, the Red Cross received its Congressional Charter in a time of relative peace. Prior to World War I, it introduced programs involving water safety, first aid and public health nursing. The need for qualified nurses increased after the war, when the veterans returned home. There was also the Spanish Flu epidemic, which affected thousands of people. And yet another health issue was a need for better sanitary conditions to curb the spread of diseases. On this date in 1919, Miss Abigail Stebbens, an instructor for the Red Cross, announced that the home health course in Williston was being well attended. The course was conducted using the Red Cross Manual of Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick. Initially, Miss Stebbens had wanted to begin the course among the more rural and remote areas of Williams County, but with the onset of winter, that plan was abandoned. In rural states such as North Dakota, the lack of doctors and trained nurses made the population particularly vulnerable to the spread of disease. The programs were aimed at educating the women in the communities through practical lessons on home health care. Over one hundred and ten ladies had enrolled in the course, which was much larger than expected. Miss Stebbens referred to the program as “Sickly Susie,” and it was growing slowly but surely. Lessons were conducted daily except Saturday and Sunday, and only those who attended a total of twelve classes were allowed to take the examination at the close of the course. On Saturdays, a fourhour course was offered to the ladies of Happy Hollow in rural Williston. Lessons were repeated, making it possible to miss a class and still complete the course in two months. The fee for the course was one dollar, which included a copy of the textbook. Dolls were used for demonstrating the care of infants. When the weather improved, the program was repeated across the county. Upon successful completion of the course, the women were awarded a certificate. The course was not meant to replace the need for doctors and nurses in the rural communities, and it did not certify these women as nurses. It did, however, make them much more aware of what they could do as homemakers to provide a healthier lifestyle, and it also trained them on how to provide first aid and medical care when needed, a good thing to know when the help of a qualified physician could be hours away. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Irving Gardner Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm December 5, 2019 — In 1881, a 21-year-old bachelor named Irving Gardner headed to Hope, North Dakota, to homestead. As he later wrote, he was unprepared for what lay ahead of him. “...The train was a freight train with a few passenger cars and a caboose in the rear. After traveling about half the distance toward Hope, the passenger cars ran off the rails and bumped along on the ties. We were going pretty slowly, and no one seemed much alarmed at first, but some of the men got up on the cars and tried to attract the attention of the engineer by yelling and waving coats. They had no success, and things began to look more startling. More cars were off the rails and the cars began to zigzag. The call was to jump off and others did so. I stood on the platform with another, an Irishman from Philadelphia. We both hesitated... “I made the plunge into a snow bank and went in up to my waist without hurting myself at all. No sooner had I jumped than over went the cars on their sides... “The poor Irishman failed to jump and was on the platform when the car turned over. He was crushed by the rail into the snow bank, with but a small part of his body in sight when I got up to him. The snow was spattered with blood, and I feared he had been killed, but by pawing the snow away I found that his bruises were all on his feet... “Everybody stood around looking at him with apparently no thought to give him aid... Upon my direction we... carried him across the track to a small house whose occupants spoke little, if any, English... I removed his boots and stockings and got the woman of the house to bathe his feet in warm water. Whether or not that was proper treatment, I didn’t know, but it seemed right, and the woman seemed to think so and helped willingly... When I started to go to the train, he begged heart-breakingly for me to stay with him. I had to go, as the train was soon to pull out, and so I bade the unfortunate homesick fellow good-bye, never to see him again.” “... Home life on my quarter section was at first very discouraging and pro-

voking, for I had no sooner moved in when burglars did the same. They were considerate in a way, as they didn’t take everything at one time. First they took my blankets, then dishes, tools, then the clock. Each time I would try to strengthen my fortress, but the burglars would use a little more force and ingenuity and get inside. I finally got the doors and windows barred up so that they couldn’t get in without smashing in, and they apparently stopped just before doing that. “But there was still one more way to extract my wealth. They climbed to the roof and pulled up the stovepipe which was connected with my stove. One night I was wet and tired and got home only to find my stove several feet short of pipe to go through the roof. But a young adventurer like me could not let that bother him. I had to do something, for it wouldn’t do to let the smoke pour out into the room. So I pulled off a couple of boards from a partition and ran them from my bed to a table, lifted the stove to this higher level, shoved the pipe through the roof again with a piece of wire run through it and under the roof boards for further protection, started my fire and in no time was all heated up ready for business as usual.” Like many others, Irving Gardner found the life of a homesteader wasn’t what he expected. After proving up, he rented out his land and moved back to the East Coast where he went into the insurance business. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Miss Minnie Nielson Dakota Datebook written by Jim Davis December 6, 2019 — Politics in North Dakota has always been an interesting part of the state’s history. In 1918, Miss Minnie Nielson was the successful candidate for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Miss Nielson had been born in 1876 in Michigan, but moved with her parents to Valley City in 1880. Upon completion of her education, she was elected superintendent of Barnes County schools where she served for twelve years. In the election to the state office in 1918, her opponent was the incumbent, Neil Carnot

MacDonald, a member of the Nonpartisan League. The Nonpartisan League was at the height of its power in 1918, and Mr. MacDonald was a popular member of the party, so what ensued over the next year was bare-bones politics. One key example is Senate Bill 134, introduced by Joseph Cahill during the 1919 Legislative Session. It created a Board of Administration to supervise all penal, charitable and, significantly, all educational institutions controlled by the state – including the public and common schools. The law siphoned off most of the power held by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, distributing the duties among various commissions and officials within the Board of Administration. And while the Superintendent of Public Instruction served as one of the board’s five members, the other four were members of the N-P-L, allowing the league to wielded the power. Miss Nielson had a state office, but no authority. One of Minnie Nielson’s duties prior to the enactment of the law was to issue teachers certificates, but this duty was transferred to Mr. E. P. Crain, director of the Motor Vehicle Registration Bureau. The bound volumes were transferred to his office in the basement of the Capitol in 1919. Although Mr. Crain was nominally in charge of issuing the certificates, the actual supervisor was Mrs. Katherine MacDonald, who had served as Deputy Superintendent to her husband – the prior Superintendent of Public Instruction. But Miss Nielson had the support of a majority of the people of North Dakota. In the election of November 2, 1920, an initiated measure, which passed by a ten thousand vote margin, restored some of the power to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, including the issuing of teachers certificates. On this date, nine cartloads of teachers certificates, dating back to statehood, were returned to Miss Nielson’s second floor office. It was a dramatic conclusion to a very bitter public battle, but one in which the legislature, controlled by the Nonpartisan League, was overruled by a vote of the people. “Dakota Datebook” is a radio series from Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and with funding from the North Dakota Humanities Council.
