Preliminary hearing for murder
By Richard Volesky
Editor/Reporter
BELFIELD - A preliminary
hearing for Dirk Huber, 41, accused
of murdering Nikki Radcbaugh, 39,
in her apartment on Aug. 31, is
scheduled for 2:30 p.m., Oct. 31, at
~he Stark County Courthouse at
which time at judge may decide if
the case will move tk~l"w'ard.
At preliminary hearings, a judge
decides if there is probable cause
that a crime was committed, and if a
defendant should be bound over for
trial.
A pickup truck registered to
Huber, parked on the street in front
of his Belfield residence, was van-
dalized sometime after the alleged
murder. The vehicle's windshield
was broken. The vehicle may also
have been scratched, but it isn't
clear if that damage occurred before
or after Huber's arrest.
The damage occurred between
Sept. 3 and Sept. 5, said Joe
Schmidt, Belfield police chief. No
one in the neighborhood reported
the damage; it was noticed by the
police during a patrol.
Huber's residence is reportedly
occupied by one of his cousins, and
a few oilfield workers who are rent-
ing rooms in the home.
Bail for Huber was set at $1 mil-
lion at a hearing on Sept. 6.

Survey
hows good bighorn numbers
While three consecutive severe
winters played a significant role in
reducing many of the state's west-
ern big game populations, overall
bighorn sheep numbers are strong,
according to Brett Wiedmann, big
game biologist for the North Dakota
Game and Fish Department in
Dickinson.
A July-August survey in western
North Dakota showed 290 bighorn
~-heep, unchanged from last year
and just 26 below 2008's record
,,ummer survey. "After recording
Jramatic declines in mule deer and
pronghorn numbers, we were pleas-
antly surprised to see that our
bighorns have remained stable,"
Wiedmann said.
Bighorn sheep can tolerate frigid
temperatures, but deep snows can
¢-ause problems because of their
short legs, Wiedmann said. "Low

adult mortality last winter despite
very deep snow conditions demon-
strates just how hardy bighorns
are," he said.
Survey results revealed 85 rams.
158 ewes and 47 lambs 233 in the
northern Badlands (an increase of
two from last year) and 57 in the
southern badlands (down just one).
"'Bighorns are doing very well in the
northern badlands, and. following
three years of declines, have stabi-
lized in the south." Wiedmann said.
while noting that 43 lambs were
observed in the north, but only four
in the south.
Each summer. Game and Fish
Department biologists count and
classify all bighorns, a process that
takes nearly six weeks to complete
as biologists locate each bighorn
herd in the badlands by tracking
radio-marked animals from an air-
plane, and then hike into each band
in order to record population demo-
graphics using a spotting scope and
binoculars. Biologists then com-
plete the annual survey by recount-
ing lambs in March to determine
lamb recruitment.
North Dakota's bighorn sheep
hunting season opens Oct. 21 and
continues through Nov. 3. Six
licenses were issued.

At home at a new location
The Eaton Lodge building, now at its new location, is to be shingled sometime in the next
several days. The building, owned by Badlands Ministries, was dismantled starting around
January 2010 and was moved in sections to Badlands Ministries' new campsite south of
Medora. A future edition will include more about this project. (Photo by Richard Volesky)
Elaine Noll flew to Wichita,
Kan., where she met her daughter,
Heidi and granddaughter, Ashley.
They drove back to North Dakota,
where Heidi and Ashley will stay
with her parents, Rick and Elaine
Noll in Golva, while Heidi's hus-
band, Pat is being deployed. They

Gillette, Wyo., Randy, Julie,
Jackson, Sydney and Tanner
Binstock of Dickinson, and Lori and
her friend, Duane of Dodge, N.D.

been together in over two years.
A large crowd gathered at the
Golva School lunchroom on
Tuesday to attend a meeting con-
cerning the closing of the Golva
Post Office in the near future.
Several questions that were asked,
remained unanswered. With the
influx of people involved with the
oil boom moving to the area. and
the impact on the Golva businesses
and residents of the area, obviously,
the citizens of Golva are concerned
about this move by the postal
department at this particular time.
Shirley Schulte visited her aunt
Cecelia Watembach in Wibanx on
Wednesday while Donna Sygulla
was getting her hair done at the
Lariat Hair Salon. The ladies
enjoyed lunch out before returning

Granat visited her mother, Frieda
Feldman at the Wibaux County
Nursing Home.
Richard Susa has moved from
the Susa farm and is now living in
Beach. He has an apartment at the
former Zielsdorf house. I suspect
he got tired of fighting the deep
snow drifts on the rural roads last
winter.
Mike Bostyan was here from
Colorado to visit his dad, Joe
Bostyan, and his brother Rick's
family of Golva, and his sister,
Vicki Braden and family of Wibaux.
On Monday, Mike took his dad to
Bismarck for a medical appoint-
ment, where Joe was told he had to
spend some time in St. Alexis
Hospital. He is much improved,
and should be back, and moved into
the Golden Valley Manor very soon.

Realities and myths about North Dakota newspapers
As a trade association for the 90 North Dakota daily and weekly
,newspapers, we want to address in simple language the truth about
newspapers in North Dakota.
Your local newspaper is here for the long run. Some pundits and so-
called experts are already writing the obituary for the newspaper industry. We say:
Not so fast. Newspapers march on not only as news leaders and innovators, but as
stalwart businesses in communities they serve, contributing to the well-being of
Main Street and North Dakota.
• Newspapers remain a dominant media source in North Dakota.
Newspapers in this state have an estimated readership of more than 500,000, plus a
growing on-line audience. 9 out of 10 North Dakotans read their local newspaper.
Nationwide, more than 104 million adults read a newspaper every day, except on
on Sunday when readership grows to 115 million. That's more people than watch
the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million), or the evening news
(65 million).
• The biggest reason newspapers are read is because you rely on
your newspaper to know what's happening in your community.
Obituaries, weddings, high school sports, city hall, babies, arrests, yard sales, church
meetings, little league baseball, community events, engagements, town business,
government public notices, even the ads ... the list goes on and on. Your newspaper
connects you with your community. No other medium provides what newspapers
provide. (Ever see obituaries on TV?)
• It's a myth that the Internet and other sources will provide news if
North Dakota newspapers aren't here to do the job.
The reality is that newspapers make a larger investment in newsgathering than any
other mediu.m. In fact, most of the news you get from other media originated with
reporting done by newspapers. Sometimes broadcasters read the news directly from
the newspaper!
This is a time when newspapersare transforming. The industry is
adapting and moving forward. We look forward to the future! We
look forward to providing news, information and advertising that
help connect and build the communities we serve.
