Munro is new general manager at Rolla auto dealer

By Jason Nordmark Of The Star

J

osh Munro has held a couple of different jobs and had a lot of opportunities over the years.

But he’s only had one hometown.

“This area has been super important to me my whole life,” Munro said. “When we looked at the pros and cons of moving back, there wasn’t one regret I had about my upbringing here. My family is here. Plus, a lot of my friends are here too and they all love it.”

Three weeks ago, Munro was working for a commercial insurance company in Bozeman, Montana. Last Saturday, he was working as the general manager of Theel Motors in Rolla, buying into a partnership with Lowell and Loie Tupa.

The deal was a culmination of a yearlong discussion between the two families. Lowell said the ar-

rangement has all the ingredients for success.

“For the last four years, we’ve been looking for something to keep the business going,” Lowell said. “We think it’s important for the area to have a dealership and the 20 jobs that go with it.”

Lowell said Munro was a perfect candidate to start on the path to eventual ownership. “He knows the people, the area and that we’re very sincere about making sure this place stays open for another 60 years.”

For now, Lowell will remain the General Motors dealer until Munro becomes a part of the franchise, which is up for renewal in 2015.

Theel Motors has been an integral part of the area’s business community for 68 years. In an historic sense of fate, the company’s founder, Bruce Theel, originally bought the Chevrolet franchise from Bill and Charlie Munro, brothers of Josh’s grandfather, Albert Munro.

Josh graduated from Rolla High School in 1997 and is the son of

Maureen and the late Tom Munro. His brother, Paul, owns and operates Munro Builders Supply and Ace Hardware.

“I can’t say I’d be selling cars if it wasn’t right here in Rolla,” Josh said. “At the end of the day, I look back at my ancestors and it worked out really well for them. Like me, they all loved it here.”

Although Lowell isn’t leaving his office anytime soon, the transition did give him a chance to reflect on the 40-plus years he has spent at Theel Motors. In 1972, he spent the summer working in each department to see if he would like it.

The next year, he left his teaching job in Grand Forks and eventually became the dealership’s general manager. In 1980, Lowell said Bruce told him it was time to buy.

“Bruce came in one day and said I was buying him out,” Lowell said. “I had (former office manager) Vera Hanson write a check to Bruce for a couple hundred thousand dollars. Later she came into my office and said, ‘Okay, smart-

Staus Appointed To Finish Term

By Lavonne Haugen For the Record-Herald

T

he Cando City Council met on Monday, March 5 and appointed Chad Staus to finish out the term of Lori Dunham who resigned at the last city council meeting. Staus was sworn in by Judge Timms before taking his seat with the council.

Jay Nicholas was present to inform the council of his interest in purchasing the house and lot north of his house that the city has ownership of due to unpaid back taxes. The council approved the sale with the stipulation that the house on the lot be demolished.

The golf course road was once again discussed. The township

The Bisbee-Egeland Panthers were recognized at half-time of the championship game at the State Class B Tournament on their 25th anniversary of winning the championship game. Those involved were: Front row (left to right):Lisa Swenson, Shelly Carter, Sherri Carter, Carlyss Kurtti, Corey Hagler, Duane Carter, Coach Pat Flanagan. Back row (left to right): Coach Al Olson, Rick Lindberg, Waylan Starr, Travis Bursinger, Jeff Krick, Jayson Knutson, Ryan Flanagan, Daniel Oakland, Brent Kurtti, Eric Barwicki.

Is It Spring Yet?

business is something that’s given the Tupa family a feeling of relief.

“We wanted to keep Theel Motors as a small, local dealership and not part of a big company. We

were afraid that would cause the business to lose its identity,” Loie said. “It is business as usual and we encourage peopelto come in to greet or meet Josh. Chevrolet and Buick will be here for a long time, as will Theel Motors.”

Just a few days into his new venture, Josh said he likes the idea of selling tangible products rather than the abstract ideas of insurance. He added that the pangs marking his first week on the job are a good sign.

“It feels comfortable,” Josh said.

“Sure it’s a little intimidating, overwhelming and scary, but it’s also exciting.”

As Josh figures out his role at Theel Motors, he’s also learning the ropes of being a new dad. He and his wife, Jenee (pronounced Jenny) welcomed a son, Hugo, just three months ago.

As for Lowell, he knows just how long he’ll stay at his desk. “I’ll be here until Josh throws me out,” he said. “My job is to make him successful by helping him any way I can.”

would like to turn the road over to the city for maintenance once they have paid their portion for the repairs. Robert Timms expressed concern about the city spending money on the road as well as having to maintain it. The township board will be invited to the next city council meeting to resolve issues.

Following a special meeting at noon on March 5 for further discussion with the state regarding ADA compliance, the council reviewed a new resolution that dedicates a minimum amount of 2% of the city sales tax revenue to ADA compliance. The resolution was approved and signed by the council.

City police officer Mike Dehn tendered his resignation effective March 14. Officer Dehn has accepted a position with the Burleigh County Sheriff’s Office. His resig-

nation was acknowledged by the council.

An application for abatement of taxes was received by the auditor’s office. A hearing will be set to review the request.

In general committee reports, it was noted that there was another water main break, this time on 1st Street. Complaints have been received regarding the site of the last break by A&W Standard. It was noted once again that repairs will be made as soon as possible in the spring. A well at the water plant has blown out and will need to be dug out and assessed for repair.

The council discussed moving meeting dates and times with the arrival of spring. The first meeting in April will be moved to Monday at 8 pm.

Education Reform Opposition Involves Strange Bedfellows

T

By Lloyd Omdahl

he Russians invaded the Ukraine and the New York Stock Market dropped 200 points. The situation stabilized and the Stock Market recovered.

That underscores the fact that we are in a world economy and occurrences on the other side of the globe have a dramatic impact on the American economic system.

For the past 20 years, American economic leaders and thinkers have been keenly aware of the need for reforming our educational system to meet the growing challenges of an international economy. Unfortunately, progress has been bogged

down in political wrangling and institutional resistance.

First, we tried ‘No Child Left Behind’ but that ended with every child left behind. The program was intended to raise the learning bar in our education system with tests to measure progress.

Unfortunately, expectations were too high, terrorizing teachers, school boards and legislators.

And our willingness to change was too low so the program was abandoned.

Now we have a new approach called the ‘Common Core’ intended to upgrade the analytical thinking of students, with emphasis on math and language skills.

The program was initiated by

the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. North Dakota is one of the 45 states that have adopted the principles of Common Core.

Common Core will be using a new testing system that will assess the progress of individual students.

However, any kind of uniform testing from above is rankling liberals and conservatives alike.

Teachers do not want any assessing that could be used to link student performance to teacher competence. As an example, New York’s largest teachers’ union denounced Common Core standards after initially endorsing them because student test scores could be

used for teacher evaluations.

Some vocal conservatives oppose Common Core, not for its substance but because it is being proposed at the national level. Even though launched by state officials, they worry about a federal takeover of education.

An anti-Common Core spokesperson in Colorado summed up this position: “We want to keep our education decisions local.”

With both liberal and conservative groups opposing implementation of the Common Core, the prognosis is just about the same as it was for ‘No Child Left Behind.’ The same arguments that buried NCLB are likely to kill another plan to prepare American students to compete

on the international stage.

As far as satisfying the objections of teachers, that will never happen because there are too many other factors affecting the test results of students in addition to the performance of teachers.

As a consequence, we will never be able to develop an evaluation system that will meet all objections.

Therefore, the only sensible course of action is to start with less than the ideal and improve as we go.

Now as to dealing with the ageold controversy about local control of schools. Maybe it’s time to face reality today than have American kids at a disadvantage tomorrow.

The reality is that American kids will face more international competi-

tion for jobs and careers than any generation before them.

We have an intergovernmental educational system at present upon which we should be able to build.

The federal government provides grants, loans and funding of all sorts; states create and fund school districts, and locally-elected boards run the schools.

This ragged, uncoordinated system is not accomplishing what American young people need but that is where we must start. Somehow, both the education community and the ideologues must yield some ground.

It’s time to quit talking about how we love kids and make some concessions to prove it.

Shiela Rabe And then there were four; Buster, Dodger and Copper, the trio of young male dogs needing homes have been joined this week by a three month old black lab/heeler boy. The folks who found him say he is very smart and has already mastered potty training and “sit-stay” commands. These four great guys are in foster homes so anyone interested in meeting them will need to schedule a visit through Lindsay at 968-3431.

The kitty crew includes Babez, a pretty gray and white older female that needs her personal space such as in a heated shop. Ace and Leo are the young brothers who would love to remain together; if Uffda was a shoe shop they could be BOGO (buy one, get one free). Then there is Chrissy, our formerly feral tabby who has morphed into a sweet cuddle cat for a single person or a quiet family. And speaking of tabbies, the Harry Houdini red tabby has survived this endless frigid winter by living in the storm sewer. Gloria has continued to feed him and says he is now allowing her to get within a few feet so we are hoping the next step will be persuading him to enter a live trap.

The Schwan’s Cares for the Uffda Fund Campaign has two weeks to run in the active phase, which means that Uffda receives 20% of all pre-orders designated with our name or ID# 6377. Our next regular meeting is set for April 9th but Uffda will have a booth at the upcoming Chamber of Commerce Farm and Home Expo March 27th at Cando Armory.

March Blood Drive anticipates spring

S

pring is the season when life is renewed. One important way to help renew life is to give blood at the Munich, ND blood drive from 12:30 – 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 19 at the Munich Ambulance Center.

Each blood donation can help several patients. Samples from every unit of donated blood are sent to the United Blood Services nationa laboratory for testing. At the regional blood center in Fargo, Laboratory technicians separate the whole blood into components (including red blood cells, plasma and cryoprecipitate). And blood donated here helps save the lives of patients in hospitals throughout the area.

Blood can be stored for only 42 days, so a continual fresh supply is crucial. Anyone may

need blood at any time. In the event of an accident, serious illness or surgery, an adequate blood supply can make the difference between life and death.

Make your convenient appointment to give blood at www.

UnitedBloodServices.org or by calling Kevin Dawley 682-5547.

With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in United Blood Services Hero in Me rewards program.

Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 must have signed the minor donor permit form by a parent or guardian.

Industrial beet production meetings scheduled

I

nformational meetings on the economics of industrial beet production are scheduled at five locations in central North Dakota during the week of March 17.

Industrial beets, also called energy beets, are varieties of beets bred for industrial sugars that can be converted to a wide range of biofuels and chemicals. The meetings will provide farmers with economic information and tools to help them decide whether to grow industrial beets. Inputs, equipment, production costs and expected returns will be discussed.

“Farmers voiced strong interest in growing beets for industrial purposes during meet-

ings held in late January," said David Ripplinger, NDSU Extension Service bioproducts and bioenergy economist and assistant professor.

"However, they were clear that more information, especially on economics, was needed before making a decision.”

Meeting locations, dates and times are:  Jamestown – Tuesday, March 18, 1 to 3 p.m., Farmers Union headquarters  Valley City – Tuesday, March 18, 9 to 11 a.m., Eagles Club  Cando – Wednesday, March 19, 1 to 3 p.m., Ext. Service office, Towner County  Carrington – Wednesday, March 19, 9 to 11 a.m., Carrington Research Extension Center

 Langdon – Thursday, March 20, 1 to 3 p.m., Cavalier County Courthouse The development of beets as a new industrial crop is a partnership between Green Vision Group based in Fargo and Heartland Renewable Energy based in Muscatine, Iowa. The research component is led by NDSU. The North Dakota Renewable Energy Council, North Dakota Agricultural Products Utilization Commission and many communities and private companies provide additional project funding.

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

Kick Butts Day used to promote tobacco-free lifestyle

M

arch 19 marks the nineteenth annual Kick Butts Day, a national day during which youth are encouraged to stand up and speak out against tobacco companies. Towner County Public Health District and the North Dakota Center for Tobacco Prevention and Control Policy (the Center) are using this occasion to educate youth about the dangers of tobacco. They are also educating the public on how tobacco companies continue to use corrupt marketing practices to target our youth, despite the promises made in the 1998 tobacco settlement to end this deadly practice.

Research shows that 600 North Dakota youth under the age of 18 become new daily smokers every year, and 14,000 youth will die prematurely from smoking. In addition, 1.9 million packs of cigarettes are bought or smoked

each year by youth under 18.

According to Jeanne Prom, executive director for the Center, tobacco companies are spending millions in North Dakota each year to get the youth smoking rates up. Prom said that some of the tactics tobacco companies use to attract youth are candy- and fruit-flavored tobacco products, providing discounts and sales that make their products affordable and paying retailers to prominently display tobacco products in high-traffic areas.

TCPH District said that Kick Butts Day is a great way to educate youth in the community on the importance of remaining tobacco free and to inform everyone about the harmful marketing schemes tobacco companies are using to trap youth into using tobacco.

“It’s essential that we continue to educate our youth about tobacco marketing practic-

es so they can identify those tactics and avoid being lured into tobacco use,” said Arlene King “Education is key in tobacco prevention.”

Another effective way to reduce youth smoking rates is to increase the cost of tobacco. Research supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Lung Association shows that increasing North Dakota’s tobacco tax from $.44 to $2 would reduce youth smoking rates by 25 percent.

“By making tobacco less affordable, kids are less likely to try using tobacco,” Prom said.

“North Dakota projections show us that a $2 cigarette tax has the potential to prevent nearly 8,000 kids from ever starting to use tobacco and can save millions of dollars in health care costs.

Rocklake and United Blood Services to Hold Blood Drive

O

n March 20, Rocklake will hold a blood drive from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Rocklake School Lunchroom.

All healthy persons 16 (with parental permission on a special form provided by United Blood Services) and older are invited to give blood during the drive to help patients who need blood .

There is no upper age limit.

Donating is safe, simple, and very satisfying. Since the body contains about 10 to 12 pints of blood and, since it manufactures blood constantly, the amount do-

nated for this worthy purpose is quickly replaced.

The entire process usually takes about an hour and only about 5-7 minutes for the actual donation.

Before the donation takes place, a careful medical history is taken. Temperature, blood pressure, pulse and hemoglobin level are checked. After the blood is drawn, it is typed and tested for diseases which might be transmitted to the receiving patient or patients. This mini-physical actually benefits the donor as well as the patient because, if any of the tests indicate a need for medical attention, the do-

nor is referred to his or her personal physician.

All the units of blood are broken down into components to help several different patients. Since whole blood must be used within 42 days of donation and some of the components must be used within a few hours, there is always the need for a constant, fresh supply of blood to be donated by volunteers in the area communities.

Blood is one of the doctor’s most valuable tools, and many people are alive today because the blood was available when they needed it. In the United Blood Ser-

vices area, approximately 5,000 units of blood are needed each month. Blood centers don’t need blood. . . people do. United Blood Services relies entirely on volunteer donors to help perpetuate a constant, sufficient supply because blood comes from only one source—healthy people who are willing to give of themselves.

If you have any questions about the upcoming blood drive, or if you would like to make an appointment to donate, please call Helen A. Knutt, Blood Drive Coordinator, Rocklake, ND, at 701-266-5574 or on her cell phone 701-370-0024.

Cando Pork Producer Provides Input on Checkoff Programs

K

evin Tyndall a farmer from Cando, ND served as a delegate to the Pork Act Delegate assembly March 6-8 in Kansas City, Mo. Tyndall was appointed as a delegate by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.

“It was important to me to represent pork producers from across the U.S. as a Pork Act Delegate,” said Tyndall. “As an industry, when we stand united and work toward a common goal we can yield positive results for pork producers.”

Tyndall was one of 156 delegates who traveled from across the country to represent pork producers and importers who sell pork products in the United States. The duties of a delegate include nominating members to serve on the National Pork Board; establishing how much of the Pork Checkoff is returned to state pork organizations; and providing direction on the pork promotion, research and consumer information priorities funded by the Pork Checkoff.

America’s pork producers contribute 40 cents of every $100 of sales to the Checkoff, and importers use a sales formula to contribute a similar amount. The role of the Pork Checkoff is to promote and enhance consumer demand for pork on a global basis; invest in research designed to improve production practices and safeguard the pork supply, environment, and animal well-being; and educate America’s pig farmers on modern livestock production practices through sharing techniques, training and

“Raquelle” and “Barbie” had been ex-best friends. As the story goes, Raquelle was Barbie’s best friend in the 5th grade. Raquelle, was not a real nice person, as tried to take “Ken” away from Barbie. The Raquelle dolls were passed around for the residents to look at. Joan

also brought a few of the “Cade” Bratz dolls, from the “Play Sportz” collection. These dolls have big heads and more of a negative personality and appearance to them.

They have different color of hair on the dolls. “Cade” is the name of Joan’s grandson. He, however, did not care to have a doll, and Raquelle has since outgrown them. Thank you, Joan, for bringing part of your Doll Collection to share with us. Peggy Overland also brought one of her porcelain dolls to show. The women really enjoyed the program. Joan will be bringing in “Dolls Around the World,” April 23rd, for our Volunteer program, entitled, “Volunteers Make a World of Differences.”

Help Me I’m Confused

By Cory Christofferson

“Y

ou just don’t invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests,” John Kerry said during an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press. “This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It’s really 19th century behavior in the

21st century.” This statement has me confused. Didn’t the United States do this a few years ago when we invaded Iraq over weapons of mass destruction, which didn’t exist. Oh yes, I almost forgot. We were spreading freedom and Democracy. Never mind!

Spring is in the Air

J certification programs.

The National Pork Board earlier approved a 2014 budget for national spending of $64.0 million for promotion, research and education programs. The work of the Pork Checkoff is centered on protecting the ability of farmers to produce pork, reposition pork’s image, and enable producers to remain highly competitive on a global basis.

Included in the 2014 budget is approximately $26.5 million focused on increasing do-

mestic consumer pork expenditures “We know from our research that more Americans are enjoying fresh pork more frequently,” said Tyndall. “A recent tracking study indicated that the size of the Pork Checkoff’s consumer target has grown to 43 percent of U.S. households, up from 27 percent in 2010.

This growth indicates that the Pork Be inspired® campaign is making a difference in the marketplace.”

Prairie Fare: Take a Milk Break

Skipping milk shows its effects sooner than one might anticipate.

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist

I

NDSU Extension Service

recall an interesting conversation I had with my son and his buddy when I offered them freshly baked cookies. Both boys were 8 years old at the time.

I placed some warm chocolate chip cookies on a plate and poured each of them a glass of ice cold milk. My son’s friend looked at me as though I was suggesting he drink dishwater.

“I don’t drink milk,” he announced.

I slipped on my imaginary dietitian hat and asked, “Why not?”

Maybe he has a milk allergy, I thought to myself. Maybe his reason wasn’t my business, but the question and the glass of milk were now on the table.

“I just don’t like it. Anyway, orange juice is just as healthy. My mom said so,” he responded.

I now was stepping in forbidden territory: defying another mom’s recommendations.

I proceeded carefully by saying that

his mom was right that orange juice might have added calcium and it provides vitamin C. I mentioned that milk would help him grow tall like his dad because it has nine nutrients, including protein, calcium and vitamin D. I knew he was nearing the preteen and teen years when he would be experiencing a growth spurt. Children ages 9 to 18 have the highest calcium needs, at 1,300 milligrams per day.

One study showed that just 12 percent of girls and 17 percent of boys met the calcium recommendations.

I could have mentioned milk also provides potassium, phosphorus, vitamins A, B12, riboflavin and niacin.

Maybe I needed to put on a cow suit and do a little song and dance number about calcium.

However, that might have made the kid run out our front door.

Taste drives most dining decisions, so I tried something else.

“Do warm chocolate chip cookies taste better with orange juice or milk?

We could do a taste test,” I said.

My son’s friend wasn’t impressed or swayed by my comments. He wanted orange juice.

My son rolled his eyes at me,

grabbed another cookie and poured himself another glass of milk. I poured his friend a glass of juice and put my dietitian hat away for the day.

My son was doing his part of positive role modeling anyway.

I might have done better by reaching out to his mom to encourage her to pour a glass of milk for herself more often. A child may not always do exactly what his or her mom or dad says, but the kids watch what you are doing. Researchers have reported that a mother’s food preferences can affect a child’s food preferences.

Skipping milk shows its effects sooner than one might anticipate.

Children who skip milk usually have lower overall calcium intake, are shorter, have smaller bones and lower bone density, according to published research.

People vary in their calcium needs, and many foods are fortified with calcium. However, few foods are as complete a nutrition package as dairy foods. Current nutrition recommendations set the goal at three servings of dairy or an equivalent amount of calcium per day.

Looking back at my son’s fruit juiceloving friend, perhaps I should have offered some flavoring for his milk. Yes, the flavoring adds some calories but the calcium and other nutrient content

remain the same. He might actually have accepted the fruit-flavored milk.

Here’s a tasty shake from http:// www.dairymakessense.com to take on the go. With 15 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, this breakfast in a cup will tame your appetite.

Peanut Butter and Banana Breakfast Shake 1 c. fat-free or 1 percent milk 1/2 c. frozen banana slices 1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon Combine all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and creamy.

Serve in a tall glass or on-the-go drink container.

Makes one serving with 270 calories, 9 grams (g) of fat, 35 g of carbohydrate, 15 g of protein, 3 g of fiber, 220 milligrams of sodium and 35 percent of the daily value for calcium.

Lady Bearcats advance to Region 4 Championship

By Lavonne Haugen

For the Record-Herald

North Star vs. Harvey/ Wells County The Lady Bearcats opened up their Region 4 tournament play against the Harvey/Wells County Hornets on Monday, March 10. Despite the warmer temperatures outside the gym, the Bearcats got off to a cold start with uncharacteristic turnovers plaguing the team in the first half of play. The Hornets shut down the lane for the driving Bearcats and cold outside shooting made for a frustrating start for North Star as they ended the half down 17-22.

The Hornets continued to dominate the game in the second half and looked poised to upset the Bearcats in the fourth quarter when North Star mounted a late rally to tie the game and force Allie Heisler maintains control of the ball overtime. late in the game against Rolette-Wolford Two Hornet starters fouled out of the game at the end of regulation and the turnovers the Bearcats needed to outscore Bearcats used this to their advantage in the Hornets 8-2 in overtime to win the the overtime. A full court press forced the game 59-53 and advance to the semi-final

round of the Region 4 Tournament.

The Bearcats were 19 of 54 from the field for 35% and 16 of 24 from the freethrow line for 67%. Allie Heisler led the team in scoring with 19 points. Macey Kvilvang followed with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Sarah Hagler finished the night with 11 points, six rebounds and four assists. The scoring was rounded out by Lexie Peters with six points and Stephanie Miller and Peyton Halverson with five points each.

North Star vs. Rolette/ Wolford The Bearcats were in for another tough night as they took on the Rolette/Wolford Comets on Tuesday, March 11 in the semi-final round of the Region 4 Tournament. The Comets came out, played aggressively, and not only outscored but outrebounded the Bearcats in the first half of play. Despite better scoring in the second quarter, the Bearcats went to the locker room at half-time looking at a 29-33 deficit.

The Comets opened up their lead in the third quarter and were up by ten points

Peyton Halverson takes to the air to attempt to stop the shot by the Harvey player with four minutes to go in the game. That was when, with a change in the person-

nel at the front of the full court press, the Bearcats took over the game. Macey Kvilvang used her height to force errant passes that were intercepted by the Bearcats for points as they quickly closed the gap on the Comets.

Sarah Hagler forced several turnovers late in the game that translated to points on the offensive end for the Bearcats as they eked out a 64-61 win over the Comets to advance to the championship game.

The Bearcat team was 22 of 63 for 35% from the field and 11 of 14 from the free throw line for 79%. They committed just seven turnovers in the game. North Star was led in scoring by Sarah Hagler with 20 points, six steals and four rebounds. Allie Heisler added 18 points, five rebounds and four steals. Macey Kvilvang ended the night with eight points, five blocked shots and three assists. Stephanie Miller scored seven points and Lexie Peters six points for the Bearcats. Peyton Halverson added three points and three assists while Janae Larson rounded out the scoring with two points.

Bearcats Take Third at “State B” Bighorn Sheep,

By Lavonne Haugen For the Record-Herald

North Star vs.

Beulah The North Star Bearcats traveled to the State Class B Boys Basketball Tournament held in Grand Forks on March 6, 7 and 8. The Bearcats were coming into the tournament with a full head of steam following a District 8 and Region 4 tournament sweep. Their first round draw was the Beulah Miners, a team that had defeated the Bearcats two years ago in the State B championship game.

North Star took to the floor with many of the formers players from that team in the stands hoping to see the Bearcats redeem that loss.

The two teams appeared to be evenly matched in the first half of play. Each run made was quickly answered by the opposing team’s offense as the two battled back and forth. The Bearcats made a final run before the half to take a 30-25 advantage into the locker room.

The second half was much the same, and the starting five, dubbed the Iron Five by the media, appeared to be running out of gas. As they have done all year, the Bearcats dug deep one last time. With time running out and overtime looking imminent, Christian Kvilvang went the distance of the floor and finding no Miner de-

fense to slow him down went up for a last second shot that fell in as the buzzer went off to give the Bearcats a 52-50 victory.

North Star was 20 of 44 form 45% from the field and 6 of 10 from the free throw line for 60%.

Christian Kvilvang came up big for the Bearcats with 24 points and six rebounds. Alex Weston added 11 points and six rebounds.

Johnny Heisler put up eight points and Jayden Komrosky scored five points while grabbing four steals.

Mathew Hunt rounded out the scoring with four points for the Bearcats.

North Star vs.

Rugby The Bearcats advanced to the semi-final round where they faced the top-ranked and undefeated Rugby Panthers for the opportunity to play in the state championship game. The two teams had faced off in Cando early in the season when the Panthers defeated the Bearcats by 11 points.

The North Star players appeared relaxed and ready for another tough game as they took to the court.

The Panthers showed why they were undefeated as they quickly jumped ahead of the Bearcats and blanketed the North Star shooters with a sticky defense that wasn’t allowing for many open looks at the basket. The Bearcats, however, didn’t panic and stayed within

striking distance, down just seven points at the half.

Rugby used the third quarter to increase their lead to twelve points. While the Bearcats made several runs at the Panthers they were unable to close the gap late in the fourth quarter as they fell 44-54. The Bearcats were 20 of 47 from the field for 42% and 2 of 6 from the free throw line for 33%.

Alex Weston led the team with 20 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots. Christian Kvilvang followed with 11 points and five rebounds. Johnny Heisler and Mathew Hunt added four points each with Hunt also grabbing five rebounds for the Bearcats. Jayden Komrosky scored three points and Austin States rounded out the scoring with two points for North Star.

North Star vs. Linton-HMB North Star took to the court for their final game of the season against the Linton-HMB Lions in the third place game of the State Class B Tournament. Once again the team emerged looking relaxed and ready to play as they took to the court. Despite a slow a start, the Bearcats had a big second quarter, outscoring the Lions 17-5 to take a 26-17 lead at the half.

The Lions made a run at the Bearcats early in the third quarter, but the team responded and quickly returned to form as they defeated the Lions 60-49 to earn third place in the tournament.

The team was 25 for 52 from the

Great Playing Bantam’s

field for 48% and 7 of 11 from the free throw line for 63%.

Jayden Komrosky led the team in scoring with 14 points. Alex Weston and Christian Kvilvang followed with 13 points each, with Kvilvang adding a team high nine rebounds and Weston grabbing eight rebounds while also recording seven blocked shots and five steals. Johnny Heisler ended the night with eight points and Mathew Hunt and Austin States rounded out the scoring with six points each.

Alex Weston hit his 1000th career point early in the first quarter of the game and both Alex Weston and Christian Kvilvang were named to the all-tournament team.

When asked about his thoughts regarding the tournament, head coach Jeff Hagler gave credit to his young team and their unexpected finish to the season. “It was great to see How well we played in the third place game after the tough loss to Rugby in the semi finals. These player’s accomplishments this year were incredible. We knew at the beginning of the year we had a chance to be pretty good, but third place in the state exceeded everyone’s expectations. It was incredible the composure we played with considering we did not have a senior on the team. We will enjoy this year’s accomplishments for about a week and then get ready for next season when expectations will be very high.”

Elk and Moose Seasons Set

N

orth Dakota’s 2014 bighorn sheep, elk and moose proclamation is finalized and most season information is the same as last year.

The bighorn sheep season will have five licenses available, one more than last year. Licenses in Unit B1 increased from one to two due to skewed male-female ratios caused by declining numbers of females. Unit B2, which was created to prevent overharvest of Sully Creek rams, has been immersed into B1 due to low numbers in the area. Similar to last year, collared rams may not be harvested in Unit B3. The season length has been extended to two months, and the new opening date corresponds with the peak of the rut to improve prospects of finding mature rams.

A total of 261 elk licenses are available to hunters this fall, the same as in 2013. A total of 937 elk – including 701 adult cows – were taken out of the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park during the National Park Service’s reduction effort from 2010-2012. In addition, an estimated 363 elk were taken by licensed hunters in E3 and E4, reducing the number of elk in the

park to below 200. Therefore, the number of elk licenses in units E3 and E4 will remain the same as last year.

A total of 111 moose licenses are available in 2014, the same as last year. Hunting units M1C and M4 will remain closed due to a continued downward trend in moose numbers in the northeastern part of the state.

Online applications are available by visiting the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. Paper applications will be available on the website for printing, and at license vendors the week of March 10. The deadline for applying is March 26.

The application fee for moose, elk and bighorn sheep has increased from $3 to $5 for each species, as part of the license fee increase bill passed by the 2013 state legislature. For those who are fortunate enough to draw a license, the fee has increased from $20 to $30.

Bighorn sheep, moose and elk lottery licenses are issued as once-in-a-lifetime licenses in North Dakota. Hunters who have received a license through the lottery in the past are not eligible to apply for that species again.
