Elementary students from Kildeer were not the only people who were celebrating with a dance on the Cowboy’s football field. The elementary students went out onto the field first, each with at least one scarf. That was by design, according to Killdeer teacher Becki Andersen. She is the K-6 gym and P.E. teacher. “We do a lot of dancing with scarves in class,” she explained. “This was kind of a free dance (during halftime),” she said, adding that it seemed to bring a lot of people out of the stands.

Some emergencies can be prepared for by setting up something as simple as a “Go Bag” which can be taken on a quick evacuation when a disaster strikes. The preparation for other disasters can mean stockpiling food, water and other emergency supplies. In either case, the people who have made the preparations ahead of time will best be able to handle the problems created by a disaster. Denise Brew, the Emergency Management Officer for Dunn County has started a drive online to remind people to prepare ahead of time for the possibility of disasters in North Dakota. The month of September is also “Preparedness Month.” Brew recently posted a winter storm kitchen checklist for people to use which included having three-day supplies of non-perishable food and a three-day supply of wter. In addition, the kitchen list also included the need for matches, pet food and supplies, baby food and supplies along with a non-electric can opener. Brew also posted a winter

storm safety checklist, which included a flashlight, batteries, radio, first aid kit, seven days of medications, copies of personal documents, space heater and a backup generator. Another suggestion for people to put into a portable kit included a small pencil sharpener which could be used to sharpen sticks and the shavings could also bu used to create tinder for fire starting. Power Outages People can also prepare for the impact of a power outage, Brew noted when she posted on Sept. 12 another checklist focusing on the needed precautions. In addition to a flashlight with extra batteries, the list had candles (with a lighter and matches), eight to 10 gallons of water, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, antibacterial surface wipes, food that doesn’t need to be cooked, blankets and knit hats, along with a back-up for sump pumps (if needed). Bandana uses Brew also posted 60 uses for bandanas in emergency situations on the Emergency Man-

Facebook, Silver Alert helps to locate missing SD woman By Brad Mosher The Herald The saga of Clara Mae Braun started Sept. 16 when her relatives could not find her or her 2012 Chrysler 300 in South Dakota. Days later she was found in a rural section of Hettinger County by local residents who helped get her taken to the West River Hospital in Hettinger by EMS responders. In between, Facebook and

North Dakota’s Silver Alert program played a major role in finding Braun stuck and out of gas off a section road in southeast Hettinger County, close to the Adams County line. It was a happy ending for Jackie Christman, Braun’s granddaughter, and the rest of her family. It was a ending which also played out on Facebook. It started Monday with Christ-

HAT TIPS: Back in the rodeo business... Dean Meyer’s HAT TIPS has been brought to you by these local sponsors

Hello, Shirley has been happily married for well over forty years. I know a lot of you realize that she is a lucky woman, but I have to remind her once in awhile. We started producing rodeos the day after our wedding. And we produced rodeos for many years. Amateur, high school, college rodeos, and lots of jackpots. But all things must come to an end. So a number of years ago, we decided to hang it up. We had lost all the money we could. But we had to keep a few of the best old mares around. Then we bought a bucking stud and went into raising a few horses as a sideline. We’ve raised some great horses. Had bucking horse of the year in the IPRA a number of times. Had horses selected to the NFR in Las Vegas. But all good things must end. So one year, with a drought and all, we decided we had better unload the horses. So when Joe came to Killdeer to produce the rodeo, Shirley sent me up to see him. Joe was, and is, the biggest horse buyer in the world. Saddle horses, bucking horses, Shetlands, or race horses. Joe buys them all. He is a horse trader. I told Shirley she shouldn’t trust me with this responsibility. Joe is tough. But I picked him up and out we went to look at the brood mare band. He looked them over and decided he

DEAN MEYER couldn’t use them right now. But he would make a few calls. And in the meantime he was stuck with a bunch of roping calves, Brahmas, at the Killdeer rodeo and had no way to haul them. Maybe he could move my horses if I could move those calves. To shorten the story up, I bought the calves. And four buffalo. Shirley was really tickled when I came home and told her Joe didn’t buy the horses, but I had twenty-five brahma calves and four buffalo! I couldn’t lose on this deal. I loaded the calves up two days later and took them to the calf sale. While I was waiting for the calves to come through, here come some little Wild Russian Boar pigs. Remember my experience with them years ago? Well, I’m not quite

over it. I wouldn’t buy those pigs if they gave them away. Then it happened. They kept backing the price down. Twenty apiece? Fifteen? Five? One? Five pigs for twenty? Fifteen? One? Five pigs for a dollar! My hand shot in the air like God himself was pulling on it. It was a power no mortal man could resist. I was back in the pig business. Then came my calves. It kind of went like the pig sale. They started high and kept backing the price down. The buyers did not appreciate quality. Or else they had an aversion to floppy ears. Anyway, I bought the calves back. I drove around till dark. With my trailer load of treasure. Brahma calves and Russian pigs. I backed up to the barn, with my headlights off. I was scared. I was just opening the endgate when Shirley lightly tapped my shoulder. Did I say lightly? Not. When those calves came flying out of that trailer she used a bad word. And when the pigs came out, shot under the trailer door, and headed for the garden, the people in north Dickinson had to cover their ears. I explained to Shirley that we were back in the rodeo business. We had bucking horses, roping calves, and, listen to this, DEAN’S RACING PIGS. It’s going to take a little time to train them. But then I have a lot of time at night. Since I can’t go in the house anyway. Later, Dean

OMDAHL: Legislature hostility to ethics proves polls.. By Lloyd Omdahl By choking the effectiveness of the new Ethics Commission, the legislature proved that the negative polls were right. EMC Research of Washington, D.C. conducted polls to assess the voters’ perceptions of the state legislature and political system. The results should have jerked legislators up short but they seemed determined to make the Ethics Commission unworkable and they succeeded. In the polls, the legislature had only a 39 percent approval rating. More than 80 percent believed political leaders were more interested in protecting their power than doing what is right. At the same time, an equal number wanted greater oversight and accountability for state legislators. An effective ethics commission would go a long way toward improvinng oversight and accountability in state government. The truth is that the legislature does not want more oversight and accountability In its arrogance, the legislature has continued to oppose public opinion. Polls showed that a majority of North Dakotans favored marijuana for medical uses but the legislature kept killing such proposals until the citizens took charge passed the measure themselves.. Then there was the ethics commission proposal to check on the integrity of the North Dakota political

system. The idea was killed in three consecutive sessions of the legislature. It was finally initiated and adopted by a vote of the citizens. The hostile legislature took full advantage of its responsibil-

ity to implement the commission and has rendered it harmless. Even though the ethics commission is a constitutional body, the legislature introduced House Bill 1521,

designed to undo what the constitution provides even though it does not have authority to override constitu-

agement Facebook page. When it comes to First Aid, bandanas can be used as slings, a compress, a pressure bandange tie and still would have nine other uses. There were four listings for hygiene uses, including as a toothbrush. There were 12 listings for using a bandana for shelter, five water related uses and three was to use for a rescue. The biggest category of uses was tools, with 13 on the list. But Brew also recommended using a bandana like a flag by eithe tying it to an antenna or putting it in a window wher the wind can make it move. “If people are search for you, they can see that colored bandana, especially if it is neon green or yellow... you know, those neon colors that can be seen from far away,” she said. Evacuation list Among the suggestions Brew has posted was how to prepare for being evacuated. When people organize ahead of time, they should make sure to pack shoes, have a wallet or purse, keys to the car, home, storage units, mail boxes and office. In addition, people should make sure they have chargers for their cell phones, their laptops and chargers, back up flash and external hard drives. Certain important documents are often overlooked but are considered to be very important - contact list, proof of insurance, proof of residency, mortgage documents, tax returns and a check book (routing numbers are needed for FEMA claims). Medications and medical devices need to be on the list, as well as at least $200 in small bills.

REGIONAL Water bottles Brew also posted a suggestion that people can also store water in old laundry bottle to storage water for non-drinking uses. “We forget how much we depend on water for everything,” she said in the post, claiming people should prepare to be without water for a week. Emergency toilet Another device that people could forget about is a toile system for handling waste. Brew posted a simple emergency toilet which could be constructed with a fivegallon bucket, garbage bags, a cut pool noodle, cat litter and a roll of toiet paper. It is also portable enough that it can be put in a car when there are hazardous weather or road conditions. Preparations With the end of summer, it is also a good time to prepare for winter, putting winter boots and gloves together in a winter kit for vehicles. Brew also suggested that people prepare for when there may be no power and have cash set aside. “If the power goes out debit cards are not going to work. Tuck some money away in case you desperately need cash. “Save your change for a rainy day,” she explained in the Facebook post. Just in case Brew also recommended that people make sure they have a printed copy of their important numbers and keep it in a wallet or purse. That can be a back up in case the cell phone is lost, broken or can no longer use it. In addition, put aside several meals which can be eaten out of the can or bag in case of emergencies. Something as simple as a pair of shoes can help in the case of overnight emergencies. That can help protect feet when

there is debris or broken glass on the ground. In case of a long term disaster, Brew even posted a listing for a supply of food which would be able to last a year. The list was broken into the categories of grains, vegetables, legumes, dairy, pasta and meat. Adapt to needs According to Brew, each family can develop emergency or disaster kits which meet their needs or the needs of individuals. Using the recent event where an 87year old South Dakota woman was missing for almost four days, the emergency manager recommended that families should stress letting people know when someone is going on a trip in case of a break down, a health emergency or just getting loss. She also mentioned that have material stocked in the car beforehand can also help. That could include extra cell phone batteries or power banks, medication, extra water bottles and snacks. In addition, having things in the vehicle which could be used in case of problems to help people locate the vehicle is a good idea. One item she mentioned was a common window shade used in cars and trucks during the hot summer days. If there is a reflective surface on the inside, that could be placed on the hood or trunk to help the vehicle be locaed. One thing that Brew stressed is staying with the vehicle, whether in the summer or winter. “It can provide shelter or shade,” she said Tuesday. Aerial asset The Civil Air Patrol is another asset which can be used to locate people in the rural parts of Dunn County, the emergency manager added. “The Civil Air Patrol is at our fingertips all the time. They will come help... if they

can fly. You know in North Dakota, we don’t always have that capability... That is why we practice on the ground a lot. “Even year-round, it is an iffy (because of weather conditions),” she added. Most important “When it comes to winter and you are traveling on the highways, there are mile markers. “So, if you are traveling, and there is really heavy snow and stuff, notice what mile marker you just passed,” Brew explained. “If something happens or you slide into the ditch, and you have to call 9-1-1, when the operator asks where are you you can say you just passedmmile marker 87 on Highway 22. “They will right away have kind of an idea where to start to look for you,” the county emergency manager said. “They might not see your tracks. They might not see your headlights if you are down in a ditch in Dunn County. There are some spots where nobody is going to see you.” She added that keeping track of mile markers is a good idea, no matter what the weather is. “Communication is huge too,” she added. “If you are going to head somewhere, tell someone where you are going and when you are leaving. “A lot of these times when elderly people get lost, most of the family doesn’t even know they left - or where they were headed. “When people are going somewhere, they need to share with their family. where they were going, what were there plans ... just in case something happens,” Brew explained. “That is so someone can search for you. “And if you do get lost, don’t leave your vehicle. I don’t care if it is June or July ... but especially if it is winter,” Brew added. “Stay in the vehicle, because searchers will find the vehicle.”

12 senators pushing to restore full education benefits to guard, reservists Senator John Hoeven is one of a dozen senators in urging Defense Secretary Mark Esper to restore full education benefits for members of the National Guard and Reserve. The effort aligns with Hoeven’s Montgomery GI Bill Parity Act, bipartisan legislation that would enable members of the Guard and Reserve to concurrently use Federal Tuition Assistance programs and GI Bill benefits to fund their education, similar to active duty servicemembers.

According to a spokesman for the North Dakota senator, the group’s letter calls on Esper to make this change administratively, reversing a 2014 Department of Defense (DoD) decision that undermined Guard and Reserve servicemembers’ ability to receive the full education benefits to which they are entitled. “Education benefits are one of the top incentives for those enlisting in the Guard and Reserve components, and we should ensure they can access all of

the benefits they have earned in order to properly honor their sacrifices and service,” Hoeven said. “Further, allowing the Guard and Reserve to use both GI Bill and Federal Tuition Assistance will help us maintain the readiness of these forces, which are essential to our defense, both at home and abroad. “ That’s why we’re working to correct this disparity, both on the legislative and administrative fronts.” Currently, individuals who qualify for Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty (MGIB-AD) or the “Post 9/11 GI Bill” are, by statute, able to simultaneously use these benefits with Tuition Assistance (TA). In late 2014, DoD issued a policy that

prohibits similar concurrent usage of TA with the Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR). The effort by the senators would bring parity between active duty and Reserve component servicemembers, ensuring they can utilize both their GI Bill benefits and Federal Tuition Assistance. In addition to Hoeven, the letter was signed by Senators Patrick Leahy (DVt.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Robert Casey (D-Pa.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), James Risch (R-Idaho), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W. Va.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Michael Rounds (R-S.D.).

LOCAL MISSING Continued from page 1

man posting on Facebook that her grandmother was missing. Tuesday evening, the Hettinger resident reported on Facebook that a trucker had claimed to have seen Braun’s vehicle south of the city of Lemmon on Highway 73 near Shadehill. Christman added a post Wednesday morning that her grandmother had been seen near Mott. “Grandma stopped and asked for direction at a farmstead Monday mid morning southeast of Mott, ND. That is the last time anyone has seen her that we know of,” Christman posted on Facebook. That report helped to focus the search on the area near the Hettinger County seat. Later Wednesday, Christman added that “Grandma is still missing, planes and ground crew search the Mott area since they knew she had stopped there. All other tips haven’t been Grandma, but we appreciate people reporting! Thank you to everyone for the thinking of Grandma and saying a prayer, she believes in the power of prayer. We appreciate all the support.” That patience would pay off the next morning when some Hettinger County residents decided to do their own search nearby. An early post Thursday morning still was hopeful. “Grandma is still missing and the only confirmed sighting was SW of Mott. My dad and husband are going back there today, it was searched well by planes and ground crew yesterday but doesn’t hurt to look again,” she posted at 9:08 a.m. Thursday. Minutes later (9:30 a.m.), she got the news for which she had been waiting and hoping. “GRANDMA has Been FOUND. She is alive. All I know is she was found in Mott Area and an ambulance is on the way to get her. Thank you again for all prayers, support and help!!” About 90 minutes later, Christman posted “Grandma was found by Brent (Roth), Carrie Roth and Bennie Kruger this morning. She was weak and dehydrated but knew her name and address, she also told them the roads were terrible and to have

Clara Mae Braun Jason blade them?, she is in the Hettinger hospital. My dad has been there and she knows him and the other visitors. Her car was stuck and out of gas on a section line a few miles south of the last place she was seen. The outcome is amazing and we appreciate everyone!!” Carrie Roth was one of the thousands of people following Christman’s Facebook posts. According to Christman, early Thursday morning he texted a map to Carrie Roth showing where Braun had last been reported to be seen. Carrie Roth showed the map to her husband Brent. He said he knew the area and the poor conditions of the roads. He joined with friend Bennie Kruger to check the area out. They found her vehicle two miles down a road after seeing car tracks on a section line. She was lying on the ground next to her vehicle. The searchers called 9-1-1. A big factor in the search was when the North Dakota Silver Alert was activated. The North Dakota system was set up in 2017 to help locate missing people who were elderly of had health problems. Christman has also said that the Silver Alert was probably crucial to finding her grandmother. It also has impressed the Harding County Sheriff who has publicly stated that it was more effective than south Dakota’s Endangered Persons Advisory. South Dakota does not have a Silver Alert system.

been an option for some time, and we are fortunate to not have to use it very often. This message showed up on caller id as (701) 000-0000. Some landlines are setup on answering machines or voicemail, so some citizens got the message. Some telephone lines ignored the phone call/ message and some citizens answered their telephones and received the message,” Kruger explained in a Facebook post. There may be changes, she added. “Soon, I will be launching a voluntary citizen sign-up campaign which will be another way to receive local emergency notifications, if you so choose.” Air search The search wasn’t just online via Facebook or using the Silver Alert. The South Dakota Civil Air Patrol conducted an aerial search of Hettinger and Adams counties in North Dakota. The Harding County Sheriff, Wyatt Sabo, thanks the local agencies for helping out in the search for Braun just the night before she was located. “I would like to thank the Perkins County Sheriff ’s Office, Hettinger County, Adams County, Slope County Sheriffs offices, the ND State Highway Patrol and all others on the ground in Perkins County. I don’t know all (the) agency’s. The civil air patrol brought two planes up to fly a large area today along with several other planes. The last confirmed place Clara was seen was about 8 miles south of Mott ND on Monday around 10 a.m. but that does not mean she can’t be anywhere so please keep an eye out for her. Thanks again for all the help today. Have a good night,” he posted.

Getting message out In addition to a Silver Alert, Hettinger County’s Emergency Manager, Tracy Kruger, sent an alert for Hettinger County residents on landline telephones. “This layer of alerting has

State warns about need for flu vaccinations The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) is reminding all North Dakotans to get vaccinated against influenza. In an event held at the State Capitol, Governor Doug Burgum highlighted the importance of vaccination, stating, “Getting the flu vaccine is the easiest way to protect yourself, as well as your friends and family, from the flu.” Everyone six months and older should receive the flu vaccine. Anyone can get the flu, including healthy individuals. When more people get the flu vaccine, the virus does not spread as easily and quickly to those who are vulnerable to serious complications from the flu. Those who are more likely to face serious complications include infants and young children, pregnant women, people older than 65, American Indians or Alaskan Natives, and those with chronic medical conditions. By getting the flu vaccine you are not only protecting yourself, but

you are protecting your community as well. “Flu vaccination is not an individual choice, but a societal one,” says Angie Wehrkamp, a mother who lost her child to influenza in 2015. “It’s an opportunity for us as parents to show that we not only care about our children, but we care about other children and our communities in general.” Influenza is a respiratory disease. The most common symptoms are fever, cough, sore throat, headache, chills and body aches. In North Dakota, influenza activity begins in the fall and typically peaks between January and March. Seven influenza cases have already been reported in the state for the 2019-20 season. People can get vaccinated against influenza anytime this fall, but the best time to get vaccinated is by the end of October. Vaccination does not protect against other respiratory diseases or the germs that cause “stomach flu.”

sion, Charging disappeared during battle on April 26th, 1951. Back home, Charging’s family learned he was listed as missing in action on June 6. The family remained in limbo until right before Christmas, when Charging’s name appeared on a list of prisoners being held by Chinese Communists in the Chiangyong POW camp. Arnie Charging, of Roseglen, ND, says they later learned his brother and a few others managed to escape soon after they were caught. They headed toward friendly lines by traveling at night and eating stolen chickens, but after only a few days, they were recaptured and imprisoned. In February 1952, the Charging family received a surprise letter from Kenneth. Arnie says it was censored and written on what looked like a piece of paper bag. The young prisoner reported he “was getting along fine” and asked his family “not to worry.” He said the “committee” had given them food and clothing. In reality, Arnie says, his brother’s Native Hidatsa upbringing had prepared him to survive in ways many other men couldn’t; many prisoners starved to death. Charging’s father, George,

never lost faith that Kenneth would survive. In fact, he planned a rodeo to celebrate his son’s homecoming and started building huge corrals on his ranch for the event. Sadly, a few months later, on July 8, the 59-year-old father took a rest while branding cattle, and a short time later, he was found dead of an apparent heart attack. Arnie says he and others decided to fulfill his father’s vision. They completed the rodeo grounds, not knowing if they would ever be used for their intended purpose. More than a year later, after 390 days in captivity, Kenneth Charging was released in a prisoner exchange. On August 26, 1953, he sent a telegram to his family from Tokyo, stating he was leaving for the States. He didn’t learn of his father’s death until arriving in San Francisco. Meanwhile, the McClean County Independent reported Mrs. Charging was ecstatic that her boy was coming home, and although she had recently suffered a heart attack, she was supervising the plans and finishing touches that would bring her husband’s dream to fruition. The Kenneth Charging homecoming rodeo, with shows and traditional danc-

ing, began on this date in 1953. The Montrail County Record reported, “Indians came from the Standing Rock reservation in South Dakota, from Fort Peck and Wolf Point, in Montana, from other reservations in North Dakota, as well as various other places to attend the three-day event.” In the midst of the celebration, a large crowd coaxed Kenneth to try his hand at his former specialty, calfroping. The Montrail County Record reported, “Although a little rusty with the lariat, he showed that he was still a good horseman.”

stances, as the highwaymen were temporarily masters of the situation. It was a surprising event, considering the locality, as it has always been supposed that the holdup line was a good deal farther west.” Engineer Hooker was just a few miles east of Moorhead when he noticed a man on the mail car. A few minutes later, he was confronted with two revolvers and, as the Tribune put it, “requested to very good and very obedient in his handling of the engine. Within a few minutes, other masked men appeared with Conductor Corcoran and his brakeman, who were also left on the engine, under guard, with an injunction to behave themselves.” The robbers seemed to know what they were doing. They unhitched the passenger cars and what they thought was the baggage car, all of which coasted to a stop in the distance. Then, they

Dakota Datebook Church and Politics written by Merry Helm September 24, 2019 — On this date in 1917, Grand Forks Police Chief J. W. Lave banned automobiles from parking “in the immediate vicinity of churches” when worship services were being held. Clergymen had been protesting their services were being drowned out “by the noises of the machines.” Also on this date, Richard M. Nixon came to Bismarck in 1968 to campaign for the U. S. Presidency. He had previously run against John Kennedy and lost. Interestingly, President Kennedy, himself, was in North Dakota 42 years ago tomorrow. He spoke at a UND convocation, at which he was awarded an honorary degree. President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, TX, just two months later. Flying Machine September 25, 2019 — On this date in 1914, the Hansboro News reported: “Several farms and members of a threshing crew claim to have seen what appeared to

be a flying machine in the sky a couple of miles north of town last Saturday afternoon. They claim the object was high in the air and came from the north and passed out of sight to the east. Eyewitnesses claim that what they saw resembled pictures they have seen of flying machines, and when asked if the object they saw couldn’t have been a ring of smoke from a nearby threshing engine, they answered emphatically that it could not.” A week later, the paper reported, “The airship story [from] last week has been [published] on the front page of the Minneapolis Journal, the northwest’s greatest newspaper.” Kenneth Charging September 26, 2019 — Kenneth Charging, a 1946 Elbowoods graduate, entered the military in late 1950 or early 1951. Following five or six weeks of training, he spent a short furlough with his family and was then shipped to the front lines in Korea.

Killdeer receiver Keith Dukart hauls in a touchdown pass in Friday’s 28-6 home win over the Heart River Cougars. HERALD/Brad Mosher

Cowboys’ rally pounds Cougars in 28-6 win By Brad Mosher The Herald Two teams were tied in the regional standings before the game Friday night in the Killdeer Sports Complex. At the end of the first half, the two teams were tied on the scoreboard with a 6-6 score. The second half was completely different. Killdeer scored 22 unanswered points in the second half while holding the visiting Heart River Cougars scoreless for a crucial 28-6 win in the Cowboys’ homecoming. The visiting Cougars scored first early in the first quarter to take a 6-0 lead. The Cowboys waited until late in the first quarter to mount a drive which ended with quarterback Zach Andersen hitting Keith Dukart in the end zone with a scoring pass with 1:31 left. The catch tied the score, and stayed that way with a missed extra point attempt. After forcing the Cougars to punt on their next possession, the Cowboys found the ball stopped on the six yard line with a holding penalty moving the ball to the three. After starting the second quarter, the Cowboys moved backwards on a loss and two penalties placed the ball just shy of the goal line. Andersen kept the ball and moved it out to the three yard and appeared to force a punt from inside the end zone. The play started as a punt, but ended up being a 25-yard scramble for a first

‘Kids on the Run’ shine in local meet

Staff Report Killdeer has dropped four straight contests since picking up a 3-0 sweep over New Town at home. Since then, Killdeer lost to New England, Stanley and Bowman County.

down at the 19-yard line. That was a big play by Jamie Keller, according to head coach Andrew Cook. “That was a huge play by Jamie Keller. He decided on his own to head out and get that first down. It was a phenomonal play. I told him it was one of the best plays I have seen in a high school football game.” It came at a cost. “He hurt his shoulder when he did it, but it gave us life. The drive moved all the way to the Heart River 27 before a fumble gave the ball to the Cougars with 4:16 left in the second quarter. The Cougars had to punt, but they got the ball back several plays later when a Cougar defensive back stepped in front of Dawson Schneider and returned the ball to the Killdeer 37 yard line. In the final seconds of the first half, the Cougars moved to the five yard line, just one yard away

from a first and goal. The Cougars tried to score from the air, only to see Killdeer’s Sandoval come down with an interception and return it to the the 20 yard line. A personal foul on the Cougars moved the ball to the 35-yard line with 13 seconds left in the half. “Some big plays saved us. That interception in the end zone by Fernando Sandoval in the end zone was a big one.,” the coach said. On the second Heart River possession of the second half, the defense came up with a big fourth down stop that gave the Cowboys the ball at midfield with 4:44 left. On the second play of the possession, Andersen to a second-and-four play and ran all the way to the four. A horsecollar penalty on Heart River moved the ball to the two and Andersen went in for the score with 3:38 left. Andersen ran the ball in for the two-point conversion, giving the Cowboys

the lead for the first time in the game. The next score was early in the four quarter. The Killdeer defense blocked a fourth and inches attempt in Killdeer territory in the final minutes of the third quarter That set up a Killdeer fumble recovered at the 33 yard line. Four plays player, the defense stopped the Cougars again on the first play of the fourth quarter. Less than a minute later (10:33) Anderesen hit a wide-open Schneider for a 51-yard touchdown pass. After the conversion failed, the Cowboy lead expanded to 20-6. The next Cougar possession ended with Gabe Magee intercepting a pass. The Cowboys picked up 15 more yards on a Cougar penalty. That helped to set up Tomjack’s two-yard touchdown with 7:10 left in the game. The coversion was good, with Andersen hitting Schneider for a 28-6 lead which held for the rest of the game.

You feel very, very comfortable. And he doesn’t ignore you when he’s in the company of others.” A whirlwind romance led to her 15-year marriage to composer, Burt Bacharach. They divorced in 1980 during her chaotic days on Police Woman. Although she has never remarried, she has had no shortage of interesting admirers, including talk-show hosts Johnny Carson and Larry King, musicians Billy Vera and Julio Iglesias, and newsman Harry Reasoner.

constitutionally impermissible ways.” Then he proceeded to list 21 instances in which the legislature violated the constitution in Sections 6 through 24 with its House Bill 1521. Among some of the unconstitutional provisions added by the legislature include abolishing anonymous whistleblowing; deleting lawsuits against responsible public officials; forcing the commission to promulgate

rules through the legislative system; protecting lobbyists; limiting lobbyist reporting requirements; providing no criminal penalty for corruption and inserting requirements for negotiations before formal complaints As should be expected, the paid lobbyists have been flocking to meetings of the Ethics Commission, fighting to keep their avenues of influence open. Meanwhile, unpaid citizens are not able to be pres-

that the legislature didn’t want some “loose cannon” finding and reporting errors in state government. So at the last minute in a house-senate conference committee language was slipped into a bill to require the state auditor to get the permission of a legislative committee before doing performance audits. Now the state auditor in North Dakota is chosen in a general election to serve as the auditor It is a constitu-

tional office but now we have the legislature stripping the office of its functions. Instead of representing the people and the initiative process, the legislature seems to be representing something else. When legislatures have gotten out of hand in other states, they have adopted term limits. Right now, if such a proposal were on the 2020 ballot, term limits would pass by a healthy margin.

day in 1889, North Dakota elected its first state officials and approved its first Constitution. Within the Constitution, but subject to a separate vote, was an article prohibiting the sale of alcohol, which narrowly passed. South Dakotans managed to repeal their anti-alcohol law six years later, but in North Dakota, prohibitionists managed to keep the issue away from voters for more than four decades. Then, on September 21, 1933, the state held a special election in which residents voted against a proposed sales tax and the showing of movies on Sundays. However, they overwhelmingly voted in favor of the manufacture, sale and distribution of beer.

tion in the fall of 1882 and, two years later, he filed for a post office to be named Hazen. The U.S. government granted his request, and the following year, Hazen went on the map– even though it would be another 29 years before it became a town. The other founder was a man they called “Four Paw.” Four Paw was Irish; his real name was Richard Farrington. At one point, he and his brother had Mercer County’s biggest ranch – Hazen sits on the original homestead. Farrington got his nickname during his days as a traveling acrobat in the Forepaugh Circus. Although Forepaugh was spelled f-o-r-e-p-a-u-g-h, Farrington’s friends turned it into two words: Four Paw, like the number of dogs’ feet.

Dakota’s first refinery – located near Drayton – on this date in 1965. Farmers in the Red River Valley experimented with sugar beets as far back as the 1870s, but without a processing plant nearby, beets proved a poor venture. Valley farmers gave sugar beets another try during the agricultural depression following World War I. In 1918, valley sugar beets were sent to a small factory in southern MN, where the crop proved superior to most. Production increased, and people around Grand Forks began plans for building a local processing plant. Meanwhile, a company called American Beet Sugar started buying up Midwest sugar operations, and when the East Grand Forks processing plant opened in 1926, it became American Beet Sugar’s newest property. The company was later renamed American Crystal Sugar Company.

when a jackrabbit suddenly popped up, all the dogs in the camp took off after it. After a bumpy harrowing chase, the little boy’s dog outran the others and caught the rabbit as it leaped into a crowd of alarmed bystanders. Gall’s mother snatched her son from the travois, but he was too excited to be fussed over. “Mother,” he said, “my dog is brave: he got the rabbit!” An older warrior said, “... such things sometimes indicate a career. The boy has had a wonderful ride. I prophesy that he will one day hold the attention of all the people with his doings.” The prophecy came true. His name was changed to Gall – or Pizi in Lakota – when he ate the gall of a slain animal, and he became one of the most skilled and aggressive braves in the tribe. Historian Charles Eastman writes, “It was his habit to appear most opportunely in a crisis, and in a striking and dramatic manner to take command of the situation. The best-known example of this is his entrance on the scene of confusion when Reno surprised the Sioux on the Little Big Horn. Many of the excitable youths, almost unarmed, rushed madly and blindly to meet the intruder, and the scene might have unnerved even an experienced warrior. It was Gall, with not a garment upon his superb body, who on his black charger dashed ahead of the boys and faced them. He stopped them on the dry creek, while the bullets of Reno’s men whistled about their ears. “‘Hold hard, men! Steady, we are not ready yet! Wait for more guns, more horses, and the day is yours!’ They obeyed,” Eastman wrote, “and in a few minutes the signal to charge was given, and Reno retreated pell mell before the onset of the Sioux.” Previously, Gall had fought

U.S. troops at Fort Buford. When commissioners tried to convince him to sign a peace treaty, Gall said, “Suppose the people living beyond the great sea should come and tell you that you must stop farming and kill your cattle, and take your houses and lands. What would you do? Would you not fight them?” After the battle of the Little Big Horn, Gall went with Sitting Bull to Canada, where they hoped to achieve justice by way of the British government. It wasn’t to be. Gall returned in 1881 and was taken prisoner. When he was released from Ft. Buford in June, he and others Hunkpapas were sent to Standing Rock Reservation. Still a leader, Gall became an activist for his people. On one occasion, he was in Washington, D.C., where he was found giving his spending money to the poor instead of using it for himself. “I went about your great city and saw many people,” he said. “Some had fine clothes and diamonds; others were barefoot and ragged. All people are alike among the Indians. We feed our poor.” Gall died in December 1894. Nearly a hundred years later, a Utah organization claimed it had his skull in its collection. This was unwelcome news, and on this date in 1991, his remains were exhumed, and archaeologists were able to prove them wrong. Gall’s body was still intact and has been re-buried at Wakpala, on the Standing Rock Reservation.

Chief Gall’s Grave written by Merry Helm October 4, 2019 — Gall was a Hunkpapa Lakota chief who Sitting Bull relied on for his skill as a warrior and leader. As a child, Gall was called Matohinshda, which means BearShedding-His-Hair. One of the child’s earliest adventures took place when he was just three years old. His mother strapped him into a travois pulled by a trustworthy pack dog, but Southwestern District Health Unit Health Maintenance Clinics for Dunn County for October, 2019 will be as follows Dunn Center City Hall
