Fair board looks to feed the wild side By Brad Mosher The Herald The Dunn County Fair Board will be hosting a Wild Game Feed Nov. 30 in the High Plains Community Center, starting at 4 p.m., in Killdeer. On the menu for the inaugural event will be deer, elk, moose, buffalo, pheasant, turkey, duck, venison, fish, pork frog legs and alligator, according to Florine Lazorenko, the president of the fair board. The evening will start with a social at 4 p.m. and followed by the meal. Tickets will be available from fair board members, at the community center, the Pipe and also at the American Bank Center and First International Bank. The price will be $15 for advanced tickets, $20 at the door, $10 for children from six to 12 years old. Children under six will be free. In addition to the social and the meal, there will also be a silent auction, Bingo and games for kids, according to organizers. “It is the first one for us,” Lazorenko said. “We’ll also have moose, caribou, yak, turtle soup, turkeys, pheasant and rocky mountain oysters from South Dakota. There will be buffalo burgers, smoked fish, bear and salmon corn chowder,” she added. “So far, that is what we have got now, but there will be more.” The fish will be coming from as far away as Alaska, she added. “These people go to Alaska every year.” The community center will have the golf simulator available for the children to play during the feed, Lazorenko added. In addition, a couple of ladies will head up a Pinochle tournament and there will also be a Christmas Tree decoration contest. “First place (in the contest) will be $100, second place will be $75 and third place will be $50,” Lazorenko explained. “It will be People’s Choice with the people deciding the winners. The decorating must be completed by noon on Nov. 30, but the trees will remain at the center through Christmas,” she explained. “It is just going to be a fun thing.” There will be a doll dressing contest. “Anybody that comes and gets a doll here will be paid $25 by the fair board. Then we will put them up for auction,” Lazorenko said. The auction will be following

A ‘Small’ strategy Watchful neighbors key to fighting crime By Brad Mosher The Herald

Dunn County Sheriff Gary Kuhn (above) discussed how to keep a watchful eye on Halliday to people attending a community dinner at the City Hall (below).

There is something about small towns, Dunn County Sheriff Gary Kuhn told members of the Halliday community Nov.7 when he spoke at the community dinner. He was visiting the community to talk about a rise in local crime.

The biggest thing he stressed to the dozens of people who show up was being watchful and vigilant when it came to Halliday. “That is one nice thing about a small town... everybody knows,” he said with a chuckle. “And everybody knows to call

Hello, Over the years you hear lots of stories. Stories of jokes that guys have played on one another. I’ve written about them in the past. About Johnny putting the dead calf in Clarence’s pasture. And Clarence buying a pail calf and then unable to find the mother of the dead calf. I’ve written of the night they hauled Terry’s bulls home, and then returned his pickup to where it was parked behind the Buckskin, and left the endgate open. But I don’t think I ever told you the pig story. Oh, I know I’ve told the tale of my experience, or rather Shirley’s experience with the Wild Russian Boars. And I know I’ve told of the mountain lion and the pigs. And of the pigs grazing the neighbors wheat. But I never told you the tale of the shrinking pig. Here it is. There was a guy, we’ll just call him Lynn, working construction in the Watford area. Now Lynn was known to be a man that worked hard, played hard, and maybe would stop uptown for a cool one after work. And sometimes the cool ones lasted until the wee hours. But Lynn was a hard worker, and every morning, bright and early, he would be on the job. Every morning he would see this gentleman, south of town, go out to feed his butcher hog. And this hog was nearly finished. This old boy would come with a

DEAN MEYER bucket of feed, dump it over the fence, and stand there and admire this fine 200 pound hog. Well, one night, after a rather long session uptown, Lynn decided to play a practical joke on this man. So, under the cover of darkness, he and a couple friends slipped down and stole the hog. Now, you have to picture this. I don’t how many of you have ever wrestled a 200 pound hog into the trunk of a car, but they got it done. I’m sure the pig squealed on them, but that is another story. Then they proceeded to take the hog over to the sales yard, still under the cover of darkness, where they made the switch. They

traded that two hundred pound pig for a thirty-five pound weaner pig. He claims this one squealed on them too. But they loaded it in the trunk, hauled this little weaner pig out to the man’s feeder pen and replaced the big hog they had stole (borrowed). The next morning, like clockwork, here came pig farmer with his bucket of feed. Just like normal, he dumped the feed over the fence and stood there admiring his 200 pound pork chop. Who was now a thirty five pound weaner pig. But the guy stood there for a few minutes, scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders, and left. Every day, under the watchful eye of the construction crew, the farmer fed his pig. A week went by, another night of frivolity and nonsense, and it was time to do another prisoner exchange. Once again, under the cover of darkness, and with a little help of bottled courage, the switch was made. The 200 pound hog was loaded in the trunk of the car and exchanged for the weaner pig. The farmer came in the morning, once again under the watchful eye of the nearby scraper operator, to feed his hog. When he saw how much weight his hog had gained overnight he was ecstatic. He fed the hog, left, and quickly returned with a trailer. For the sake of a happy ending, we are just assuming that he took the 200 pound butcher hog to a petting zoo to live happily ever after! Later, Dean

OMDAHL: A National Guard retrospective... By Lloyd Omdahl In February (2004) I wrote a column upbraiding the national planners for exploiting the National Guard in conducting the war in Iraq. I argued that continuous life-threatening duty was not in the deal made by all of the Guard men and women, but that many of them joined up as a means of financing their higher education. They had bargained for weekend training and emergency duty, such as fighting floods, policing events and serving as a community resource, but not extended months of combat. For choosing Guard service as the price for their education, I noted, young people were being exposed daily to roadside bombs, rocket attacks and sniper fire. And even though they were being exploited, they heroically answered the call to duty in the face of an unjust assignment. This February column found its way to Iraq and several months later I received a lengthy letter from one of the Guardsmen confirming the comments I had made. “I hope you don’t forget about us because your writing can help people realize the reality of the situation,” he wrote in his first paragraph. Then he went on to explain he had a dream of going to college and was enticed to join the Guard because of its promise to help finance his education. When he enlisted, he explained, the major emphasis of the recruiter was on college education. Nothing was said about the possibility of war, let alone deployment in an optional pre-emptive

action halfway around the world. He was assigned to travelling up and down the highways to locate roadside bombs. It was a dangerous mission and the equipment was inadequate. Instead of an armored vehicle, he was assigned a heavy gravel truck insulated

with boxes of sand. Not only was he in constant danger of running over bombs but he was a ready target for snipers along the road. “I told my family and friends nothing about what I do,” he wrote. “I don’t want to worry them because to me that is the worse part –having loved

ones worried about us.” When he was eligible to take leave, he declined. “We knew everyone wasn’t going to get leave so I figured I was young with no girlfriend or real need to

9-1-1. “If you see something not right, then it probably is not right. It doesn’t hurt for you to call and have us come out and check it out,” he said. The sheriff said that he had been called about how to set up a neighborhood watch program and how to prepare to keep the community safe. “You know this town way better than I know it or my deputies know it. You live here. You see what is going on,” he said. “If you see kids out after curfew or you see a bunch of kids driving around … report those things because we want to keep everyone safe. “A big part of keeping a community safe is watching. We ask for your help and your support and we rely on that,” he explained. “We, at the Dunn County Sheriffs Office, are going to try to work on being more accessible to the community. We will work on having deputies stop in and listen. A lot of times we can solve a lot of our problems as well,” he added. The sheriff had a platform during the last election where he promised to develop closer ties to the communities throughout the county that he would serve. Since his election the sheriff has also developed closer ties to the schools in Halliday, Twin Butte and Killdeer along with hiring a school resource officer. The sheriff also stressed communicating with friends and neighbors so that they would

know when there is somebody going into a neighbor’s home who shouldn’t be there. Drug problem “We have a drug problem in the United States. I was in Washington (D.C.) about a month ago and talked with sheriffs from around the United States. We all share the same problem. It is a matter of what scale we have that problem. Everybody has drugs. Everybody has health problems. We are dealing with illegal immigrants. “We all have to talk. We all have to work together to solve the problems. “If you think people are dealing drugs, call us. If you think somebody is using drugs, call us. If you think your kid is taking drugs, make him take a drug test. “I am sure all of you have been affected by this (drug abuse) in some way or another, whether it is friend or a family member,” the sheriff said. “Drugs and alcohol are very hard to beat by yourself. You’ll need help … especially the kids. Parents don’t realize the kids are not just starting out with the weed anymore. “They are using Meth. They are using Fentanyl. They recently had a fatal overdose in Dickinson. Fentanyl has become a big problem. It has also become a big problem for the first responders because it can kill us,” the sheriff explained. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine but up to 100 times more potent, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

With Guardsmen facing a prolonged threat to life and limb and a denial of certain benefits, it is no wonder that his July (2004) letter reflected a sense of betrayal and abandonment. For the Guard, service in

Pipeline company makes local donation Dakota Access Pipeline, LLC is donating $20,000 to each Emergency Management Agency across North Dakota in the seven counties through which the pipeline travels, totaling $140,000. With the aim of helping first responders, each county is encouraged to use the funds where they need it most. Check presentations were held today at the McKenzie County Courthouse and Williams County EMA Office. Dakota Access Pipeline is committed to being a good neighbor, a good business partner and a valued member of North Dakota’s communities. Dakota Access will make similar donations to county emergency management agencies across its four-state route, totaling $1 million across 50 counties in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. “We are so appreciative of the ongoing generosity from oil and gas companies in our community,” said Karolin Jappe, Emergency Management Coordinator for McKenzie County. “Dakota Access Pipeline has been great to work with and is a top notch company in the industry. With donations like these we are able to really look at the specific needs, both big and small,

Iraq has not improved since his July letter. The danger appears to be greater as insurgents continue roadside bombing and sniping. Tours of duty have been extended time and again; pressure tactics have been

used to force re-enlistments, and troops have not been allowed to leave when their enlistments were up. As for my July correspondent, he will not be taking advantage of that college he was promised. Spec.Cody

for our first response departments. This time, we are using the funds to help the Grassy Butte Fire Department.” “The Grassy Butte Fire Department is all volunteer, with approximately 80% of our territory government forest land,” said Lee Geiger, Fire Chief for Grass Butte. “This donation basically doubles our budget for the year, which will allow us to purchase extrication equipment.” “We are excited to use this donation toward county-wide LEPC training for all first response and mutual aid departments,” said Denise Brew, Emergency Management Coordinator for Dunn County. “We are glad that Dakota Access Pipeline cares about public safety in our communities.” “Dakota Access Pipeline has maintained good communication with us and it’s donations like these that prove how much these relationships mean to them,” said Mike Smith, Emergency Management Coordinator Williams County. “Last time we used the donation toward a disaster medical response trailer. This time we’ll add to that unit by purchasing a pull unit (flatbed crew cab truck).”

Wentz of Williston was killed in Iraq a few weeks ago. (Update: Here we are 15 years later, remembering a young North Dakotan who lost his life in a warzone that is just as bad today as the day

of November 4, 2004 when he died. Lives are cheap, especially when they are somebody else’s. Peacemaking is better than sword rattling but we seem to keep making the same mistakes, generation after generation.)

Although the event will be the first, the area has a history of having game feeds. “We used to have some and Halliday used to have some, but then they all quit. We had some people talking

about having one so we decided to do it. We have the room here (at the community center). We thought it would be a fun thing and something different for the families.” The people wanting to donate items for the auction will need to drop them off at the community center, she added.

LOCAL Obituary

Patricia Pelton 1936 - 2019 Heaven gained another Angel on Tuesday, October 29, 2019 when our beautiful and treasured wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away peacefully, with family by her side at Hill Top Home of Comfort in Killdeer where she had resided since August of 2019. Patsy’s celebration of life service will be 9:30 a.m., Monday, November 4, 2019 at Ladbury Funeral Service, Dickinson with Pastor Dorothy Stein officiating. Inurnment will take place at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Mandan. Visitation will be one hour prior to services on Monday. Patricia G. “Patsy” Houghton was born April 7, 1936 in Dickinson to Guy and Mae (Fiks-

dal) Houghton. She was raised and educated in Killdeer and graduated in 1953 from Killdeer High School. It was in January 1952, while at a dance in Grassy Butte, that a young Army man preparing to be shipped overseas, met the love of his life. For the next year Clive and Patsy wrote many letters to each other causing love to blossom. On December 28, 1953 Patsy was united in marriage to Edward “Clive” Pelton. The newlyweds moved to Cando for the first six months of their marriage, after which time they returned to Dunn County. In 1959 they purchased the homestead of Clive’s great-aunt and uncle Rustad, where they continued to live and raise their seven children while farming and ranching. Clive and Patsy were fortunate enough to travel extensively throughout Clive’s involvement with the Soil Conservation District. Following retirement in 2000 they moved into Killdeer. In 2009 Clive and Pat became snowbirds and in 2013 purchased a winter home in Mesquite, Nevada where they entertained many a family member and friend wishing to escape the cold

North Dakota winters. They enjoyed both the company from home as well as showing their company the beautiful sights of the Mesquite area. Patsy was well known by her family, the Watkins Salesman, and Dunn County Extension Agent for her delicious chicken dinners and caramel rolls. And of course, no meal was ever complete without Grandma Patsy’s famous Grandma Buns! Her cooking talents were shared with the Killdeer Senior Citizens during her 22 years as cook for the Elder Care program. Patsy always went the extra mile to provide meals and special desserts for “her Seniors”. Patsy enjoyed fishing, boating, oil painting, gardening, caring for her well-manicured yard, and annual 4th of July family camping overnighters at the Little Missouri Bay. Patsy was well-renowned for straying from the pack during the camp outing, and there were many mornings the family woke to find Pat and her boat off on her own fishing excursions. (We never knew until she returned whether she had floated away on purpose or if the previous nights storm had taken her on yet another

Dakota Datebook Ladbury Church Saved

written by Merry Helm November 15, 2019 — The village of Sibley, on Lake Ashtabula, was formed in 1954, the same year that Karnak, named for an Egyptian king, closed its post office. They had in common the Ladbury Church. This church building was the first built in the town of Kensal, in 1899. When it closed in 1926, a rural congregation near

Karnak bought it and pulled it 25 miles east with a steamdriven tractor. One boy made the trip by riding inside the building. Originally lit with kerosene lights, it had recently been wired for three electric bulbs, but electricity wouldn’t reach “rural” ND for another 25 years. So, the light bulbs were cut off, and the wires were used to hang kerosene lanterns, again. The church closed again in 1936 due to out-migration

during the Great Depression. It had been named Union Congregational Church, but locals called it Ladbury, for the man who donated the land. The locals used it for Memorial Day picnics, but that ended in the 1990s. The foundation developed problems, the roof started to leak, the building was neglected, and wildlife moved in. In 2000, a group of concerned citizens approached Preservation North Dakota

adventure.) Patsy was a charter member of the American Legion Auxiliary in Halliday and was a life member for 34 years. She was also very active in the Halliday PTA during her children’s school years. Perhaps the most important thing Patsy would want to be remembered for is her unconditional love and devotion to her family and close friends. Patsy is survived by her husband of 65 years, Clive, Killdeer; children, Russell (Darla), Bismarck, Pamela (Larry) Boepple, Killdeer, Ronald (Susie), Halliday, Richard (Susan), Killdeer, Nancy (Joey) Bogers, Halliday and Cindy (Bud) Kottisck, Mandan; sisters, Edna Mae (Jim) Duncan, Billings and Linda (Roger) Brew, Manning; 19 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; and numerous bonus grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Preceding Patsy in death are her parents, Guy Houghton and Mae Booke; son, Roy Edward in 1982; brother, Gary Houghton; and dear friend and fellow fishing enthusiast, Betty Lou Pollestad. oArrangements are with Ladbury Funeral Service, Dickinson, www. ladburyfuneralservice. com

The Trinity Titans were a big obstacle for Killdeer on the volleyball court. In less than a week, Trinity handed the Cowboys two losses. First, the Titans closed out the Cowboys’ regular season with a 3-0 sweep. Monday, the Titans did it again in the quarterfinals with a 3-0 sweep over Killdeer which ended the season for the visitors . In beween, the Cowboys defeated Glen Ullin/Hebron by a 3-0 margin in the first round of the regional playoffs at home in Killdeer. That victory set up a rematch for the Cowboys. Trinity started out with a strong 25-11 win in the first set. Then the Titans came back with a 25-9 victor to take a two set. Trinity slammed the door on any Killdeer homes for a five-set rally when they took the match with a 25-16 score. Chelsy Morlock led Killdeer in two statistics, leading the team with 11 assists and had 10 digs. Another senior, Madison Wilhelm, led the team with 15 digs in her final contest. At the net, senior Megan Olson had seven kills. Brooklyn Bang and Myranda Reiss both had three kills. Liza Stahl had one kill. The Titans were led by Kail Kubas with 32 assists, two kills and one ace against the Cowboys.

Killdeer was 7-12 for the year.

With PND’s help, the Ladbury group laid out plans to save and restore their building. The first step was taken in the dead of winter, when volunteers climbed onto the roof to cover holes with sheets of tin. The altar area furniture was taken to a local museum for safekeeping, and a volunteer architect began plans for dealing with structural issues. Interested families donated more than $3,000, and PND awarded the group a $7,500 grant.

The following spring the east wall of the basement caved in, so stabilizing the foundation became priority number one. During that same time period, the National Trust for Historic Places put ND prairie churches on its list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. In 2002, an increasing number of volunteers donated more than 3,000 hours to scrape, paint, clean, make repairs, re-tin the steeple, renovate the interior, and shingle the roof. Local businesses and contractors donated materials. The group developed a plan to make “natural scaffolding” from bales stacked against the exterior walls, but, instead, a group of nearby farmers brought in their tractors, and people shingled the roof from the comfort of tractor loader buckets. Electric generators powered many of the tools, a dilapidated outhouse shared with a field mouse provided necessary facilities and drinking water was carried in. By late August, the Ladbury Church was restored top to bottom, and used by a couple who flew in from Hawaii to get married – they were looking for an “exotic” experience on the prairie! The Church received nationwide coverage when House Beautiful magazine published an article called Answered Prayers two months later. The project was also featured in a History Channel documentary on the nation’s endangered architectural jewels, and the Prairie Churches of North Dakota project made the cover of the New York Times and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. On this date in 2002, Preservation North Dakota awarded the Ladbury group the state’s highest honor in historic preservation, the “Preservation Excellence Award,” which was accepted by Keith and Lois Muncy and George Amann. The “Volunteer of the Year” award went to Becky Heise, who championed the project. “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.
