BISMARCK - It's with hearts full
of thankfulness and pride that the
2017 Buccaneer 9-man football sea-
son has ended.
The coaches and players invested
most of three months in honing their
skills, relationships and character.
The quarterfinals weekend kicked
off with captains Cole Erickson,
Gunnar Farstveet, Trevor Losinski
and Josiah Orluck heading down to
Beach's Lincoln E!ementary School
to address the students. There they
encouraged the youngsters to work
hard imd participate. Losinski also
taught them a cheer. The afternoon
brought on a pep rally led by volley-
ball coach Marly Campbell and her
senior girls. The pep band played the
school song and the student body
worked on a cheer.
The volleyball girls were not the
only fans at the game. The Bucs also
received great community support
and lots of extended family coming
from miles away. Some grandparents
from Devils Lake actually made it to
eight of the games. One grandparent
commented on the cohesion and ca-
maraderie of the team. Another fan
was impressed by how the team
came up from the bottom of the rank-
ing to be in the quarterfinals.
The quarterfinals game did not
turn out as the Buccaneers desired

With Oct. 30 to Nov. 3 being Se-
vere Winter Weather Awareness
Week in North Dakota, now is a
good time to refamiliarize yourself
with winter terms and safety rules.
You should g et a winter survival
kit, make a plan, and be informed,
the National Weather Service in Bis-
marck says. Keep a high level of sit-
uational awareness by listening to the
forecast every day, multiple times a
day during changing or threatening
weather. When snow, sleet, or freez-
ing rain is in the forecast expect that
it will negatively impact your day to
day routine, and be ready when it
does.
Winter weather terminology
A watch is issued when the risk of
a hazardous winter weather event has
increased, but its occurrence, loca-
tion, and/or timing is still uncertain.
Watches are issued a day or two,
sometimes more, in advance of a
possible event.
A warning or advisory is issued
when a hazardous winter weather
event is occurring, is imminent, or
has a high probability of occurrence.
A warning is used when there is a
threat to life or property. An advisory
is for less serious conditions that
cause inconvenience, and, if caution
is not used, could lead to situations
that may threaten life or property.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT NA-
TIONAL PARK - A total of 441
bison were processed during a Na-
tional Park Service roundup that was
held the week of Oct. 15. A total of
144 bison were culled from the herd.
The roundup is held every few
years to reduce the size of the herd to : ~i
help ensure there is adequate grazing
for all of the animals within the
fenced park. Bison that went through ~::,:~'
the corrals in previous years had
memory chips implanted, and those
chips are linked to the animals' ge-
netic and age information, said Amy
McCann, TRNP roundup spokesper-
son. I
The bison that were removed
went to various tribal governments.
Receiving some of the animals was
the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Na-
tion, also known as the Three Affili-
ated Tribes, to establish a new herd
in the Twin Buttes area. On hand at
the roundup was Cory Spotted Bear,
a member of the Tribal Business
Council.
Spotted Bear said the plans in-
cluded receiving five to 10 bison to
be placed in a 160-acre fenced graz-
ing area. The area would be ex-
panded to several thousand acres are
the herd grows. The MHA Nation
also has an established herd in the
Mandaree area.
"The goal is to run a grass-fed op-
eration," said Spotted Bear.
He said the idea is to eventually
provide bison meat to schools and for
a program for the elderly. It's hoped
that tribal members can get away
from being overloaded with
processed foods, which could help
eradicate illnesses.
