MINOT DAILY NEWS 2014 HOMETOWN HITS & MISSES

Ribfests have been a crowd pleaser in North Dakota for a num-ber of years.

Williston has held its Rockinʼ Ribfest on July 4 as part of theWilliston Blast! celebration since 2009. This past year, there were18 teams, each cooking 150 pounds of ribs. Susan McDonnell,events manager for the Williston Chamber of Commerce, said theribfest is a big draw thatʼs grown in popularity. In 2013, it wasreported ribbers cooked about 1,600 pounds of ribs.

Ribfests go over big in the big towns. Bismarck has its RipRoarinʼ Ribfest each June, and Fargo has its Happy HarryʼsRibfest. But the events are just as popular in the small towns.Thereʼs the annual firemenʼs ribfest in Edinburg, Ribfest! in Rutlandand additional ribfests that have been held in Walhalla, Grafton,Carrington and other small communities.

One of the most popular small-town ribfests is the Best of theWest Ribfest in Watford City each August, sponsored by theChamber of Commerce for about the past 10 years.

Jessie Veeder Scofield, who has been involved in Watford Cityʼsribfest planning, said past space constraints have limited the num-ber of competitors to 20, but there is hope of expanding in thefuture. Competitors this year each cooked up 175 pounds andmany did more to keep up with the diner demand.

“We had been running out of ribs in previous years,” Scofieldsaid.

The oil boom and town growth have meant new companies andnew teams getting involved, especially more residents withSouthern roots who take their barbecuing seriously. Itʼs not theprize money that drives the competition, though. In the past fewyears, winning teams have donated prizes back to the chamber tosupport future ribfests.

“They are in it to be involved with the community, to get out anddo something fun in the summer. Itʼs more like a friendly competi-tion for the businesses,” Scofield said. “Definitely, they want to win.But itʼs not about the money. Itʼs definitely about bragging rights.”

Force members from Minot, KevinMetcalf, originally of Illinois, and JimGodfrey, formerly of Boston.Bridges, a North Carolina native, said

they stick with a similar recipe that cameout of Texas for their ribs. “It’s really satisfying when somebody

tells you how good it is. That’s the cher-ry on top,” Bridges said.The Q Crew hires out for private

events, cooking whole hogs for birthdayparties and as many as 400 ribs for a sin-gle event. In contrast, many teams inribfest competitions are backyard hobby-ists who enter the contests to promote

the hometown.“Just wanted to support the local

community. It’s p.r. for Velva,” saidDave Shock of the GooseneckImplement team of Velva. Of course,they knew they had a pretty hot productwith the recipe of co-worker DeanMartin.“He made us ribs at work, Shock said.

“They were pretty darn good.”The judges thought so, too. The

team’s ribs took first place.Watching over their yellow and green

smoker were the Bison Buddies, a Velvateam made up of North Dakota StateUniversity Bison fans Johnny Johnsonand Randy Hauck of Velva and JerrySchweitzer of Minot. Johnson describedthe team as in the contest to support

Velva – and also possibly in over theirheads next to some of the pro barbecuersin the competition. He and his team members smoke deer

sausage every year so figured this would-n’t be so hard, Johnson said. They testedout some rib recipes ahead of time.“The first one was mediocre,” Johnson

said, noting that they perfected a recipeonly the week before the contest. He saidthey planned to follow the recipe and“cross our fingers they turn out good. ...If they turn out anything like last week,the public will like them.”The Hog-er-up team of Matthias

Hanson from Surrey and his father,Clint, from Des Lacs came to the Lil’Redneck Ribfest to meet up with neigh-bors and friends and enjoy the weekend.

Matthias Hanson said it’s the attractionof a small-town event that prompted tothem participate.“We are winging it,” he said, noting the

borrowed grill and small smoker. “We justthought we would give it a whirl.”Ribfest competitors are a dedicated

bunch, showing up for the Velva eventshortly after 6 a.m. to get the cookingstarted. They watched over smokers andapplied barbecue rubs during the count-down to serving judges at 4 p.m. and thepublic at 5 p.m. The incentive was prizesranging from $100 to $500 for ribs thatcarried the best presentation, taste andtenderness.Duane Drader of Towner went solo to

cook up 50 pounds of ribs, the amountassigned to each competitor. Nearby, theteam sponsored by Farmers Union Oil inVelva had nine people working. GregSchmaltz of Scheresky Ag in Max andPaul Huesers of Max were joined by theScheresky Ag’s young, energetic, agricul-tural workers from South Africa.

Schmaltz and Huesers made separaterecipes and planned to decide later whichto give the judges. Schmaltz said heobtained his special barbecue sauce froma supplier in Rochester, Minn., by havinga friend from Wisconsin pick it up anddeliver it to another friend in Sioux Falls,S.D., who brought it to Velva just in time.The staff at Farmers Union Oil con-

verted a cooler into a large smoker for theteam.Wayne Bauer and son, Rick, of Velva

built their Monster Q team’s smokerabout three weeks before the Velvaribfest, where it had its debut. Althoughit was their first time in a ribfest, theywere one of the most experienced teamsin the Velva event. They said they’llsometimes cook a whole pig or 70pounds of ribs just for fun and invitefriends and neighbors.

Vedaa and co-organizer Cory Schmaltz,general manager at Farmers Union Oil,cooked up the idea to host a ribfest in Velva

after taking in similar events in other com-munities. Although not a competitor,Vedaa prepared additional ribs to haveextra on hand for the crowd.

It wouldn’t be a ribfest without plentyof other activities, and Velva’s MidsummerNight’s Jam had plenty to offer. It featureda pedal tractor pull, Model T assembly raceby the Bismarck Pioneer Auto Club, ArmyNational Guard display, classic and clunk-er car show, karaoke, street vendors andlate-night concert.

Minot has been known as the“Magic City” since the early dayswhen the route of the railroad ledto Minot magically rising from theplains and forever changing thelandscape.Today Minoters are reminded of

that old magic when they seeimpressive new developmentsbeing constructed where farmlandexisted a few months previously.Southgate Crossing on the city’ssouthwest edge is a vivid exampleof remarkable transformation fromvacant prairie to a thriving busi-ness and residential area added tothe city.Roers Construction of Fargo met

a need in Minot with an impressive50-acre development situated alongincreasingly busy Sixteenth StreetSouthwest. Larry Nygard, Roersvice-president, has been over-see-ing the ambitious building projecton the edge of the booming Bakkenoil field of western North Dakota.“When we started looking at the

Bakken in 2009, what we likedabout Minot is that it had animpact from the oil. It had thatgoing for it, but also had the otheraspects of a thriving community,”said Nygard. “It has regional shop-ping, good health care and drawsfrom all over the area. The collegemakes it good. The railroad createsa lot of activity and the agriculture,of course, is great. Even without theBakken we thought Minot was agood place to be.”Businesses thought so, too.

Southgate Crossing attracted CashWise Foods, Gordman’sDepartment Store, Shoe Carnivaland Petco among others. All werenew businesses in Minot. Alongthe frontage road where SouthgateCrossing’s strip mall is located sev-eral other businesses have sprungup ranging from a bank to restau-rants.“Obviously proximity to Dakota

Square Mall made it a popular

Southgate Crossing a success

Kim Fundingsland/MDNSeveral large apartment buildings have sprung up in the Southwest Crossing area, offering new living space in a rapidly developing section of Minot.

place to build,” said Nygard. “It had goodstreet infrastructure and traffic flow. Minotis benefiting like the rest of the Bakken,business and residential. The project takesadvantage of both of those opportunities.”To support the new development and

help address a need for more housing ingrowing Minot, Roers constructed severallarge apartment buildings immediatelywest of Southgate’s business mall.According to Nygard, about 370 new apart-ment units were built.“New businesses follow the rooftops,”

explained Nygard. “When the oil patchstarted, sleeping included camper and

tents and everything else. The need wasmet somewhat by hotels and motels andthen began a transition into apartmentsand then single-family housing. The retail-ers watch how many people have movedto town. That’s when it shows up on theradar of retailers and they start landing inyour community.”The retailers at Southgate today had no

connection to Minot as recently as 2009.They were watching, waiting for develop-ment trends to trigger action. New busi-nesses have found Southgate to be a hitwith customers and expect business onlyto get better in the days ahead.“The development was designed to

meet a specific need,” said Nygard. “Wewatch the market. Minot’s got a goodfuture and we are certainly looking for-

ward to doing more projects in the city.”Among the projects slated to get under

way at Southgate yet in 2014 is a huge one– the building of a Hilton Garden Inn,which will include a major conferencecenter. Another project is the constructionof a climate controlled self-storage andoffice rental center that will be locatedwest of the Baymont Inn.Nygard described Minot as going

through “growing pains” in regard todevelopment, but has seen rapid growthspurts in other communities result in sim-ilar obstacles to be overcome.“Dickinson, Williston, Watford City,

Killdeer, Glendive, Sidney. To a letter allthose communities deal with the sameissues. Everybody has an adjustment peri-od. How could things not be maxed out?”

said Nygard.Roers made several efforts to expedite

construction at Southgate Crossing,including funding a traffic light intersec-tion on Sixteenth Street at the northeastcorner of the complex and creating a newexit and entrance for residents of nearbyGreen Acres. Nygard described the GreenAcres improvement as a “side benefit” tothe city.As for working and building in Minot,

Nygard said all went surprisingly smooth.“We’re very happy about it. I wish they

all went like that. We were blessed withgood timing, good location and a city staffthat really wanted to see it happen. Theyknew the need,” said Nygard. “It was theright use for the right location and every-body got on board and supported it.”

[email protected] of the booming Bakken can be

seen everywhere you look these days.When it comes to schools, that growth

is most evident in the portable classrooms

that are scattered around brick and mortarbuildings, intended to educate the over-flow population of schools that are nowbursting at the seams.That growth was a problem that wasn’t

anticipated just a few short years ago,when school administrators were warningthat the state faced dwindling school

enrollment numbers. When the newWashington Elementary in Minot, aremodeled medical clinic, was opened atthe end of 2007, there were several emptyclassrooms. Now that school has nineportable classrooms located outside itsdoors and a 10th classroom rented by theschool district in an adjoining school

building.Soon, though, some of those portable

classrooms will be replaced with gleamingnew elementary, middle and high schools,which will be a hit with students andteachers alike.

Schools booming like BakkenAndrea Johnson/MDN

A groundbreaking ceremony was held in May for the addition and renovation project for South Prairie School, south of Minot.

See SCHOOLS — Page 115


In Minot, middle school students nowattend the brand new Erik RamstadMiddle School in northwest Minot, com-pleted last December. It replaced the oldschool that was destroyed in the SourisRiver flood of 2011. Elementary studentsattend school in the newly remodeled andexpanded Longfellow Elementary and atLewis and Clark Elementary, which wasalso expanded to provide room for thegrowing population on the north side.Voters approved a $39.5 million bond

issue in April that will pay for moreschool construction. Two new elementaryschool additions – one at EdisonElementary and the other at PerkettElementary – are scheduled to be com-

pleted in time for the 2015-2016 schoolyear and an entirely new elementaryschool is to be built in southeast Minotwhich will open in 2016.Superintendent Mark Vollmer said the

growth is exciting.Growth is also continuing in other

schools around the Minot area.The Minot Catholic Schools just com-

pleted a classroom addition that providedmore space for both its elementary andhigh school students.At South Prairie, 10 miles south of

Minot, voters said “yes” to a $12 millionbond issue that is paying for constructionof a new high school addition.Superintendent Wayne Stanley said

reaction to the new high school has beenhighly positive. The community of SouthPrairie has a strong identity and both stu-dents and parents like the idea of having

their own high school and no longer pay-ing tuition for high school students to beeducated in neighboring school districts. At the groundbreaking ceremony in

May, students Jackson Lindbo and LileeFriesen said they were looking forward toattending high school at South Prairiewith all of their friends. Lilee, who livesfarther away than the other students, waslooking forward to having a shorter busride to school.No other K-8 school district in the state

has added a new high school since the1920s, so South Prairie is breaking newground in that way as well.When the new high school at South

Prairie opens in 2015-2016, it shouldhave about 50 students to start out with.More students will likely attend theschool in coming years.South Prairie isn’t the only K-8 school

adding a new high school.Nedrose voters approved an $18 mil-

lion bond issue earlier this year and arebuilding a new middle and high schoolthat will be located about a mile and ahalf from the current elementary school.Superintendent Charles Miller said it

is a positive because, like South Prairie, itwill allow Nedrose to have its own iden-tity. Older kids who are already estab-lished in other schools may not want toreturn, but Miller said younger studentswill.The new high school will be able to

accommodate up to 360 children.Miller said the new school will be one

of the largest Class B schools in the area,smaller only than Des Lacs-Burlington.Principals, teachers and students alike
