Large group of helpers assist Beach couple
By Richard Volesky
Editor/Reporter
A busload of 23 kids, plus four
adults, from Bismarck recently
arrived at a Beach residence to help
a couple in need.
The group was from Zion
Lutheran Church, which was mak-
ing a trip to the Badlands of Medora
and to the dinosaur museum in
Glendive, Mont. Their stop at the
Ed and Bunky Nistler residence was
a service project intended to assist
the couple. Ed Nistler has been
dealing with cancer.
"We wanted to do a service event
as a part of the trip," said Kristin
Nistler, who is the Nistlers' daugh-
ter-in-law.
"It's kind of fun," said Megan
Radenz, one of the students. "We
get to be with our friends and to
help and to work."
The group helped the Nistlers
with fall yard work, arranging the
garage and vacuuming in their
house. Bunky Nistler had made a
list of things that needed to be done.
"This is awesome - just incredi-
ble," Bunky Nistler said of the work
that was being done.
Ed Nistler said he thought the
effort was going well "as long as
they get done before the wind
comes up."
With a total of 27 sets of helping
hands during a pleasant late after-
noon, the group did in fact beat any
wind and made quick work of the
fall chores.

SENTINEL BUTI'E- Home O n openly and has no preconceived
The Range is having an open house ideas about what led to a client
to celebrate its ianima!-,assisted flaer-
apy program on,Wlnesday Nov. 9,
at HOTR's indoorarena from 3:30-
6 p.m.
At 4 p.m. there will be an equine
demonstration, and a canine
demonstration is scheduled for 5
p.m. This is an opportunity for
guests to visit the facility and to
witness demonstrations with the
animals, according to HOTR's
Jolene Obrigewitch.
Both equine and canine pro-
grams consist of individual and
group sessions. EaCh individual
and group session has a specific'
activity. In doing these activities,
the HOTR clients and animals
demonstrate how the human-animal
bond can bring about deep and last-
ing social, emotional, physical,
spiritual and psychological
changes. For example: a child who
is a victim of sexual abuse learns
about trust, connection, self-esteem
and boundaries without having to
relive the trauma under a fluores-
cent light in someone's office.
Instead, they learn about it in a
sand-filled arena with horses that
don't judge based on the child's his-
tory or appearance; or in a kennel
from the eyes of a dog that trusts
being placed at HOTR. The child
learns about elf-esteem and bound-
aries from recognizing an ability to
control a 1200 pound animal, or in
teaching Buster the dog how to pick
up keys off the floor knowing that at
some point he can do this for some-
one who can't.
The residents in the dog program
train the dogs' basic commands
such as sit, stay, heel, and down, as
well as commands such as picking
up objects, opening doors, and turn-
ing off lights. These dogs are being
trained as service dogs and will then
be adopted by families who need
these types of services.
The animal-assisted therapy
group sessions include an animal-
assisted certified therapist and a
staff member. They watch the inter-
actions between the children and
the animals and state their observa-
tions to the kids. The kids then dis-
cuss their own interpretations about
what did or didn't happen. The
clients then talk about how their
experiences in the sessions relate to
experiences in their own lives.
Home On The Range is a resi-
dential treatment facility, which
helps neglected, abused and trou-
bled adolescents.
Mule deer production
lowest on record
Aerial observations during the
North Dakota Game and Fish
Department's fall mule deer survey
indicated production was the lowest
since the demographic survey
began in 1954.
Bruce Stillings, big game super-
visor in Dickinson, said observers
who accompanied pilots in fixed,
wing planes counted 1,055 (1,613
in 2010) mule deer in the October
survey. While the buck-to-doe ratio
of 0.47 (0.45 in 2010) was similar
to the long-term average of 0.43
bucks per doe, the fawn-to-doe ratio
of 0.59 (0.72 in 2010) was the low-

the long-term average of 0.93 fawns
per doe.
"Three straight years of record
low production and another severe
winter in the forecast makes addi-
tional license cuts likely in 2012,"
Stillings said.
The fall aerial survey, conducted
specifically to study demographics,
covers 24 study areas and 306
square miles in western North
Dakota. Biologists survey the same
study areas in the spring of each
year to determine a population
index.
