County OK's helicopter service
By Richard Volesky -
Editor/Reporter
The Golden Valley County Com-
mission earlier this month agreed to
a contract with Spirit Lifeline, a
emergency medical helicopter serv-
ice based in Dickinson.
Commissioners were previously
pregented with two options from
Spirit Lifeline, which included cov-
erage of county residents while they
are in the county for a total annual
cost of $9,479. The annual cost
would be $27,491 to provide service
to residents while out of the county
and in the helicopter service's net-
work. The AirMedCare network in-
cludes mostly the central and
southern United States:
Commissioners chose the second
option that includes the AirMedCare
network.
County Commissioner Harley
Steffen said Ithe county signed the
coverage agreement at the meeting
and coverage went into effect imme-
diately.
Renewal of the agreement will be
done on a year-by-year basis, he said.
Steffen said having Spirit Lifeline
assist with providing transport will
also help the local ambulance service
with the billing process, which would
help with the local service's finances.
Whether someone is transferred
onto the Spirit Lifeline helicopter
after an accident or in a medical cri-
sis is decided by local ambulance
services. The response of the heli-
copter will also depend upon the fly-
ing weather, and if the helicopter isn't
on another service call at the time.

Group heading for Guatemala
By Tawyna Bulger
Correspondent
It is summertime again, and for
many that means barbeques, vaca-
tions,and time spent soaking up the
sun. But for Randy Dietz, the heart
of Christian Youth Experiences, it
is a chance for taking young adults
on the experience of a lifetime.
This year, CYE and Randy
Dietza of Beach, welcome Ashley
Brennan, Ashlynn Dietz, Caitlin
Schmidt, Krista Dukart, Laura
Wagner; Miranda Dietz, Tamra
Dukart, Taylor Vaira and Zachary
Miske. Their mission and goal is
the same as last year, simply to
"walk the walk." One of Randy
Dietz's goals is to instill the courage
necessary for today's young adults
to walk, live, and behave as Jesus
would.
The team will be building homes
for two families in Guatemala this
year and will be partnering with
God's Child Project of Bismarck.
The trip is set for June 23 to July 2.
The other objective in seeking
out young adults to become mis-
sionaries is to reach them while
they are still discerning who they
are and who they'd like to become.
CYE offers an opportunity that
gives them a fresh perspective, as
welt as hands-on experiences they
wouldn't likely receive otherwise.
Area man among inductees into NDCHF
MEDORA- Inductions into the
North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame
will be held this weekend.
The induction ceremony is sched-
uled from noon to 3:30 p.m. at the
Tjaden Terrace. The event starts with
a social. Inductions are to start
around 1:30 p.m.
Below are partial biographies of
the inductees.
Ranch:
Brooks Hereford Ranch
The Brooks Ranch near Lansford,
N.D., was established in 1943 when
Loren and Bob Brooks began devel-
oping a cattle herd with one Here-
ford heifer and one Shorthorn heifer.
Their father, James E. Brooks,
came to North Dakota from Penn-
sylvania with his parents in 1904.
Their mother, Goldie Mac Tittle, was
born in 1903. James and Goldie mar-
ried in 1924 and farmed and raised
cattle on land that later became the
Brooks Ranch. Their two sons, Bob
and Loren, were educated at country
schools near Lansford and in Glen-
burn.
Additional heifers were pur-
chased from Montana, South Dakota
and Wyoming breeders and a bull,
first used as the main herd sire, came
from the Wyoming Hereford Ranch
in 1946 and a second one from Illi-
nois in 1948.
In 1947, James and Goldie
Brooks and their sons bought the Tit-
tle Homestead 12 miles northeast of
Minot from her parents. Loren and
his wife married in 1948 and lived
on the Tittle Ranch until it was sold
in 1950.
A ranch was purchased near
Burlington, increasing the total
Brooks acreage to 12,000. Loren and
Janet moved to the original ranch
near Lansford. Bob married in 1958
and lived on .the Burlington Ranch.
In 1975, the Brooks family sold
the ranch near Burlington and pur-
chased a ranch near Hardin, Mont.
Bob moved his family to Minot and
operated the Lansford ranch. Loren
and his family moved to the Mon-
tana ranch, where they ran a cattle
and grain fanning operation on those
35,000 acres.
Rodeo Arena:
Emerson Chase
Emerson was born in 1927 in
Twin Buttes on the Fort Berthold
Reservation, a brother to Emmanuel
and Joe Chase.
Emerson had just finished his
eighth grade education in Dodge
when he went to his first rodeo with
Emmanuel. Newton Burr and Emer-
son sometimes ran in a hundred head
of horses to practice on at the Chase
rodeo corrals in Twin Buttes. Some-
times Emerson, Emmanuel, Newton,
Duane Charging, Buddine Freder-
icks and others would travel to
Florida or Texas to rodeo. He was a
contestant in NDRA events in the
late 40s and early 50s. Emerson
made a go of ranching in Twin
Buttes, where he started his string of
notable rodeo bucking stock. He
married Margaret Kelly in 1953 and
they raised four children.
In the 1960s, he purchased land
near the Lost Bridge inthe Badlands
to continue ranching and building his
bucking string. He provided rough
stock for saddle bronc and bareback
and he purchased roping steers in
Mexico.

Hall of Fame on June 21, poses in an undated photo. (Courtesy

Emerson was instrumental in
starting the All IndianRodeo Asso-
ciation, including the Great Plains
Rodeo Association, and figured
prominently in the NDRA as he was
the stock producer from 1960
through 1978.
Special Achievements:
Blaisdell Rodeo Club
The Blaisdell Rodeo got under
way in 1956 when 11 men formed an
organization to build a rodeo arena
for Mountrail County youth. Any
Moore donated land while free labor
and sweat equity built the arena. Neil
McGrady was contracted to provide
four buckles, and Nic v anes fur-
nished 35 "horses that buck" for that
first rodeo on June 23, 1957.
Wooden chutes were recycled
the N.D. Stockmen's Association
and worked as a brand inspector for
30 years. The Moores were active in
the Mountrail County Foster Care
Program and were foster parents.

Skoal's centennial
Bareback bronc Centennial was
purchased by Lynn Linseth in 1989,
the year of the North Dakota centen-
nial, hence the name.
Chestnut in color with a white
blaze down his face and three white
socks, Centennial was 14 ½ hands
tall, and weighed about 1,200
pounds.
Centennial was NDRA's Horse of
the Year in 1986, 1987 and 1990 and
the RRA's Bareback Horse of the
Year in 1969.
from the Sanish Rodeo grounds, ands;:: In 1997, Centennial was sold at
eventually a covered grandstand was the Mesquite Bucking Stock Rodeo
built in the late 1990s. (One of these
chutes has since been donated as a
cultural artifact to the North Dakota
Cowboy Hall of Fame.)
Legendary rodeo stock such as
Blaisdell Blue, Anchors Aweigh,
Zebra Dunn and Black Head were
raised by club members. The rodeo
is associated with the NDRA and al-
lows the facility to be used by 4-H
Club members and for other com-
munity events during the year.
Cowboy Long Rider:
Andy Moore
Moore was born in 1921 at
Palermo, N.D., to Albert and Emily
(Peterson) (Halvorson) Moore. His
parents came to the area in 1908 and
built their ranch with the help of
their six children.
Moore's love for ranching began
early in life. He herded cattle on his
parents' ranch in the summer and, in
the fall, trailed cattle into Palermo
stockyards to be shipped to St. Paul.
Moore was an avid reader and a
Golden Gloves boxer. He broke
horses for both riding and driving
and was an accomplished teamster.
He married Myrtle Lindahl in
1942, and they had five children. In
1945, he started farming. That fall,
he was wiped out by hail, losing
everything. He then decided to try
cattle, buying 25 Hereford heifers
and one bull. This breeding stock
was the beginning of his commercial
cattle operation that continued for
two decades.
Moore served as township clerk
for 30 years and was a member of
Sale in Texas to Classic Pro Rodeo.
Since Skoal's Tobacco was a major
supporter of the PRCA, that handle
was added to his name.
Modern-era Ranching:
Stanley Pope
Stanley "Longhorn" Pope lived
the majority of his life on the T.P.
Ranch, southwest of Amidon, in
Slope County.
He and his bride, Joan Andrews,
married in 1953 and ranched in
Montana for a few years before re-
turning to North Dakota to raise a
family and a herd of commercial
Hereford cattle on the ranch. For a
short while, Longhorns also grazed
those pastures.
As a young man, Stanley partici-
pated in local rodeos as a pick-up
man and a calf roper. After he be-
came airborne with a pilot's license,
he often flew cowboys to compete in
tightly scheduled rode.os.
Stan was the quintessential com-
munity member, serving as a pilot
for the Bowman and Slope County
fire departments, as well as chief for
the Amidon Fire Department and
president of the N.D. Fire Chief's
Association. He served on the Slope
County Fair Board, belonged to the
Bowman Area Chamber of Com-
merce and was a 4-H leader for more
than a quarter century. He was a Lit-
tle Missouri Grazing Association di-
rector, an NDCHF trustee and
belonged to the Experimental Air-
NDCHF
