Sheldon School building put to a vote
look back at early area history as found in the archives of the Enderlin Historical Society and Museum. Museum website: enderlinmuseum.org This week I have a follow-up to last weeks article about a new school for Sheldon. This weeks article was found in the January 28, 1898 issue of The Sheldon Progress, almost six months after the first article. Evidently some in the community needed some convincing! ************ PUT IT TO THE VOTE Whether or Not Sheldon Shall Have a New School Building. ONE IS BADLY NEEDED. Present Accommodations Inadequate to Growing Needs of the Town. ---------------The overcrowded and unsanitary conditions of our schools calls for immediate action, and it would be well for the board to put the question of building a new schoolhouse to the vote of the people of the district at an early date.

definite facts in this communication, a representative visited the schools one afternoon this week just after the pupils had been dismissed. The atmosphere at that time, from the overcrowded state of the rooms and lack of proper ventilation, was so bad as to be almost offensive. The total enrollment of the schools at this time is 108 and in all three rooms, regardless of the proper division of classes, there is not adequate accommodation for this number of pupils. The main rooms, occupied by the high school department, measures 24 by 36 feet, with a height of 14 feet. There are desks in this room for 52 children and by bringing in chairs 64 can be seated. With all the pupils in attendance 66 have to be accommodated. Now, even supposing that the room were properly ventilated which it is not - it would not furnish adequate breathing space for more than 40 children. To put over 60 in it week after week is a constant menace to the health of its occupants. The intermediate department is in a little 14 by 18 room with twenty chairs and no desks. It is used only for recitation, the pupils at other
times occupying desks in the high school rooms, which is naturally very inconvenient and distracting to both teachers and children. By Susan The primary room Schlecht is no better than the others, being overcrowded with its 43 occupants. The desks here are very bad, being too high to allow the childrens feet touching the floor. The same objection applies to the desks in the other room. The floors in the building are so rough and worn that it is impossible to keep them clean, and the constant presence of dust and dirt is very unwholesome. The water supply on the premises is unfit for drinking purposes and all water has to be carried from the neighbors. This building has stood for many years and its days of usefulness as a schoolhouse are past. It is time to erect a building large enough to accommodate the increasing number of children, and lighted, heated and ventilated in such a way as to be condu-

Tips for a budgetfriendly road trip
rom the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate Bridge, the country is bursting with fun, family-friendly vacation destinations. National parks are a classic road trip choice. Amusement parks, museum-packed cities and quiet camping spots are other All-American favorites. Before packing your bags and heading out, its important to plan ahead, set a budget, build some fun into your travel time and prepare the car. Then you can fire up the GPS, pack a cooler, crank up the radio and head out on the highway.
Pack Savings Into Your Vacation
The whole point of a fun, family road trip is making memories that will last a lifetime. But those memories can be expensive. Decide early in your vacation planning which items are splurge-worthy and where you can save a little money:

LOOKING BACK FROM THE LEFT COAST
-Once you plan your itinerary, visit the website of each place youll be visiting, as well as the locations visitors bureau for information and good deals on top attractions. Amusement parks often offer discounted tickets when you plan to visit more than one day. Likewise, museums and other tourist attractions often bundle their tickets with others in the area. These tourist passes can be a great bargain. -Look for package deals when booking your hotel. If you compare the rate for a standard room night with those that throw in free museum or amusement park admissions, you might just pocket big savings. -If you have a membership to the zoo, art museum or science center in your area, it is possible you can get free or discounted entrance fees at similar facilities nationwide.

Musings from North Dakota headlines

sota taxes: Moorhead businessman Brady Olson is buying radio spots to promote his view that taxes and the business climate in Minnesota are out of whack.A Minnesota state representative from Dilworth (bordering Moorhead) countered saying the reality is Minnesota will never be able to compete with North Dakota on tax rates, but can compete with any state on quality of life. He said employers value Minnesotas high-quality education and workforce. Political blogger Rob Port says the Washington Post included two Nodaks on its list of the Best State-Based Political Reporters. One is former AP reporter Dale Wetzel who is with the Great Plains Examiner. The other is Rob Port himself. Sadly,Fargo will not be in Fargo. The TV version of the movie Fargo will be shot in Canada due to tax incentives there for foreign television productions. The Fargo miniseries will depart from the storyline of the 1996 movie.

He worked as a disc jockey on the local station until graduating from Valley City High School in 1961. He then joined KXJB-TV at their Granger Hill studio in Valley City, later moving to the stations Fargo studio where he was also an on-air voice for the then company-ownedKFGO Radio.

Try vegetable varieties

Submitted by Diane Heuser Part 1
Vegetables
Bright Lights Swiss chard may be the most beautiful vegetable ever created. Its stalks come in a bright rainbow of colors. A member of the spinach family, the flavor of chard resembles spinach but is stronger. The easiest watermelons to grow are the yellow-flesh types. They are very early, sweet, and have few seeds. Try Yellow Doll or Yellow Baby. If you insist on growing a red-flesh melon, Sugar Baby is reliable. Sweet Dakota Rose is prized in the southern part of North Dakota. Do you have leftover seeds? Most vegetable seeds stay vigorous for three to five years. Store the seeds in a refrigerator or other cool place. The tomato is nicknamed the love apple. The Puritans thought the tomato looked so sensuous that it was evil. Thomas Jefferson was one of the first growers of tomatoes. Stop harvesting asparagus after 75% of the spears become thinner than a pencil. Allow the spears to develop into ferns. These ferns will generate energy for the next years crop. Pinch off the flowers of leafy herbs (basil, mint and oregano) to prevent the plants from going to seed. Pinching these plants will keep them producing more leaves. Mint for tea is best harvested when the flower heads are starting to be visible but before they bloom. The oils of mint (and other herbs) are at their peak when harvested in the morning hours just after the dew has dried from the plants. Its usually best to use a combination of both organic and inorganic (chemical) fertilizers in the garden. Organic fertilizer will improve the tilth of your soil while chemical fertilizers will provide nutrients to the plants when they need it.

Perfect people?
riticisms are leveled at the Bible for many reasons. An example might be that because someone believes in only the natural material world, they deny the miracles described in Scripture and scoff at the idea of life after death. It is a criticism that can be criticized itself. We could ask the question about how we learn what we know to get at the heart of that criticism. The Bible makes clear that it is a revelation something that we would not have except that it was given to us by God. One criticism that cannot be made against the Bible is that it paints to pretty a picture of the people in the accounts recorded. Only one character is shown without sin, that is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. All the others described within are portrayed as they were; sinful men and women who dealt with the results of their own sin. King David is a prime example of an unfiltered look at a man. He is a man who even as a youth showed great courage and defeated the giant, Goliath. Later in life he was a man of war and was renowned for victories. He was the king of Israel and ruled for a good length of time. He was a man who was also musical. He played the lyre (like a harp) and wrote a number of the Psalms.

Each of those items might cause us to put David on a higher and higher pedestal. But the man David was just that, a man. David sinned very clearly in his actions with the By The Rev. wife of Uriah. He commitDennis Norby ted adultery and planned Uriahs murder. David was confronted with his sin and repented; Psalm 51 records this repentance for us. David was also honest and clear about his sin in Psalm 32. There in verse 3 he says, For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. His sin weighed him down and caused him greater and greater sorrow. This silence did not remain however for David cried out to God for forgiveness and that is what he received. Verse 5 tells us that David received forgiveness from God, who was to David a refuge and place of safety. Davids actions were not heroic all the time. In fact, they were sometimes the actions of a villain. But God delivered David from his sin. David, a forgiven sin-

DSU Extension is holding a workshop on building communities capacity for local and regional foods Aug. 13. The North Dakota State University Extension Service is launching a series of workshops to help communities get involved in the local foods movement. The first workshop, Building Capacity for Local/Regional Food and Understanding the Industry, will be held Aug. 13 at FARRMS in Medina. Interest in eating locally produced food continues to grow among consumers, restaurants, schools and grocers. The reasons vary, but health, safety, freshness and knowing where ones food comes from are four key drivers. Abby Gold, Extension nutrition and wellness specialist said, After the training, program participants will develop projects that help their communities explore strategies to increase local food availability. From 2007 through 2010, local food sales increased

Speeding, rapid acceleration and braking can lower gas mileage. Also, avoid idling for long periods of time. -Consider a new combustion enhancing fuel additive technology. Independent lab and road tests show that an additive, such as Synergyn XTrA MPG, can improve fuel economy up to 20 percent or more, in some cases. -Keep your car well-tuned and fix any problems immediately. Its also important to keep tires at the correct pressure. -Improve engine performance, lower operating temperature during hot summer road trips, reduce wear and chances of maintenance problems on the road with an anti-friction oil additive technology such as Synergyn Engine Treatment.

Fall-bearing raspberries are easy to grow. Prune the canes down to the ground every spring and the new shoots will reward you with fruits in fall. The key for us is to get an early variety. Heritage is the standard variety but you may not get a crop if we suffer an early frost. The best choice for us is Autumn Britten, which matures four weeks earlier. Keep your raspberries and strawberries regularly harvested. Overripe berries attract picnic beetles. These beetles are black with tan spots on them. Under severe infestations, an application of Malathion may be needed to control pests. Pick off blossoms and fruits on your June bearing strawberry varieties during

yourself an occasional favor and get off I-94! The Northern Pacific Railroad built a station at the Sanborn location in 1877 between Sixth Siding (Hobart) and Seventh Siding (Eckelson). The post office was established on May 15, 1879, with G. T. Bauder as postmaster. Bauders wife, Lizzie, actually ran the post office. Bauder named the location for George G. Sanborn, treasurer of the NPRR. The elevation is 1468, the Zip Code is 58480. The village, which incorporated in 1884, reached a peak population of 675 in 1890. Sanborn now has a population of 192 according to the 2010 census. As the move to divide Dakota Territory into two states gathered momentum in 1889, politics became serious business. All of the towns in Barnes County that were on the railroadOriska, Valley City, Eckelson and Sanbornhad hopes that the new Capitol might be located in their town. There is currently a special exhibit on the towns of Barnes County at the Barnes County Museum.

Lets walk in Valley City - heres where to go

Walking is like medicinefree medicine. And Valley City is a beautiful community in which to take a walk. The city of Valley City, over the past few years has been working to make Valley City very walkable. Build it and they will come is a common saying, and that is exactly what happened when the city put in a multi-use path on 5th Avenue NE (from 5th Street NE going north to 12th Street NE). Walkers can be seen at any time of the day or night, winter or summer walking on By Sharon that path. E. Buhr This past year the city constructed a sidewalk on the opposite side of town, on 9th Avenue NW, from Main Street to Pioneer Park. This summer a walking path through Pioneer Park will be built along with a multi-use path from Pioneer Park, as a continuation from the 9th Avenue NW sidewalk, up to 12 Street NW. So whats next for our town to make walking more available for residents? A committee of Park & Rec, ON THE MOVE/ ACHIEVE, and city commission representatives, along with the city engineer and city manager evaluated which parts of Valley City do not have safe walking access via sidewalks/ multi-use paths and set out a proposed plan. This area is primarily in the south eastern part of the city encompassing Winter Show Road. See the attached map of the city. Challenge to Valley City residents: The above committee would like input from all Valley

If there is an area of town that you would like to have sidewalks/multi-use paths, contact me at 845-6456 or email at sharonbuhr@ catholichealth.net. In 2012 the State of North Dakota surveyed North Dakotans, asking them to identify what they want related to outdoor recreation activities, and places to walk was identified by the majority. And the multitude of health benefits to walking is amazing. So our city is right on track to make Valley City totally walkable! I would invite everyone to get ON THE MOVE lets walk!

FARM FRESH NOW
Secrets of a seasonal cook Chard of many colors

hard will always be there for you. Like a reliable friend, it is one of the greatest, and often least appreciated, of all the gifts from your local farmer. Chards long, thick stalks have wide, glossy green leaves that may be smooth or curly, depending on the variety. The stalk comes in many colors, from white to green to brilliant red, yellow, and pink. At many farmers markets youll see the flashy Ruby Red and Bright Lights varieties. They are glamorous and hard to resist, but the old-fashioned varieties with white stems and green leaves are even tastier. Not only is chard giving, its forgiving too. Its much more heat-resistant than spinach, grows well under most weather and soil conditions, and is disease resistant and bug resistant too. After harvesting, the inner leaves come back quickly, so youll see chard at farmers markets from early June clear through Thanksgiving. Because its always there, you might take it for granted, but, as with a good friend, you shouldnt. Chard is as close to perfect as a vegetable can geta low-calorie, high-nutrition green with a mildly sweet, clean taste. Its also a fast food. Tender young chard leaves can be eaten raw, adding a beetlike flavor to salads and sandwiches. Larger stalks

and leaves can be blanched in boiling water, or sauteed up in a matter of minutes, quick and easy. Then toss the cooked chard into pasta with olive oil and garlic, add to omelets and frittatas, or use instead of spinach in your favorite recipe.

ture from his position with a golden parachute worth nearly $1 million in salary and benefits in the next two years attached firmly to his back. That inspired no small amount of griping from people who didnt say a word when Shrivani was offered the contract, and who say nothing about similarly lavish contracts afforded the various university system presidents. But the fight is over now. The antireformers got their way, and Shirvani has been sent packing. The State Board of Higher Education claims theyre committed to the reforms Shirvani was pushing, but its hard to imagine how theyll be implemented in this unruly federation of universities that dont want to be governed from the top and have pushed out two chancellors in less than a decade to prove it. Now we have to ask ourselves, what was Shirvanis problem? His political enemies claim that he was a poor manager. That he was tyrannical, arrogant and even abusive to his underlings. Yet, in all the reams of communications involving Shirvani made public during this political brawl (including a recorded phone call made by a self-proclaimed whisteblower) the chancellor was shown to be nothing more than blunt. The real problem is that Shirvani ran head-long into the rock hard parochial foundations of North Dakota politics. In February of 1889 the Enabling Act allowed for North Dakota to convene a state convention to create statehood under a new constitution. Out of that convention came
a constitution that enshrined no fewer than 13 state colleges and other institutions in the supreme law of the state. Controversy By Rob surrounding the Port location of public institutions was intense, reads the State Historical Societys information page about that convention. The location of those institutions was used as bargaining chips. Delegates to the founding convention fought bitterly to get a plum like a university in their home community, and that parochialism is still alive and well today in local politicos, and even local media, fighting bitterly for their hometown institutions. Chancellor Shirvani, perhaps not savvy to the unique history around the institutions he was tasked with governing and their importance in North Dakota politics, came to the state with a a goal of unifying the system. But deeply ingrained in the states politics is the notion that these universities belong more to the communities they reside in than to the state as a whole.. Shirvani threatened decades of political tradition by trying to implement policies that would have created a tiered system for the universities. From a policy standpoint, those changes would have made a lot of sense for the taxpayer and students of the state, but political loyalties to hometown universities run deep and when Shirvani wouldnt back down he was shown the door.

NOW AND THEN
Valley City once booming

hile rummaging through the picture archives at the county museum I ran across a folder that contained perhaps the original Now & Then pictures for VC! Wes Anderson informed me that it was a collection of pictures of the building in VC made by someone living in Minot for the 1883-1983 Centennial Album. There are a couple of building mistakes in the album, but the person who did it, did a great job on the Then and Now pictures at that time. That album probably sat in the old county museum until moved to the current one and most likely has not been seen since and even then by few. I will periodically send some of them in to the Independent. This particular front picture for the album is different from the rest. It shows VC from the northwest and has some buildings numbered. The house in the foreground with the Tee Pee in the back yard is still owned by the Arnold Lad Dilts family as labeled on the picture. The numbers pin point some other early homes from around 191516. Roy Dilts, who runs the
Big Music store on East Main remembers seeing the picture and told me that By Lowell the triangle Busching shaped structure was a Tee Pee. He did not say if it was just used as a storage shed or if indeed we had Indians living in the town at that time? Believe it or not, for some time VC was indeed a Boom Town. In the 1930-50 period there was hardly a store front, basement or upper floors of the many 2-3 story buildings that were not occupied by businesses and apartments in the downtown area. Restaurants galore, farm implement buildings and garages right down town along with gas stations. The main line railroad from Chicago and Minneapolis going through the center of town and stopping, usually, at the large wooden depot where the KOVC studios are located now. Several hotels of various sizes like the Rudolf and The Kindred, large hotels,on what is now Central Ave and other smaller ones both on Central and Main, one being above the

Take boating safety seriously

When it comes to a successful or memorable trip outdoors, many will look for pleasant weather, good friends and maybe catching some fish or an evening of story-telling around a campfire. On the other hand, an outing that is marred by an injury or accident will stick in the memory bank as well, but for the opposite reason. Fortunately, this doesnt happen very often, but it happens often enough for us to realize that summer recreation is not without risk. Some of those risks are enhanced by daredevil skiing or shouldnthave-tried-that personal watercraft maneuvers. As a former game warden, Ive seen the aftermath of too many such accidents. When it comes to safety on the water, Ill first recognize an attitude of it cant happen to me or it wont happen to me, along with poor judgment, as factors. Its also true, however, that as the saying goes, accidents happen. Boats hit submerged logs and people lose their balance and fall overboard. While wearing a lifejacket may not prevent such mishaps, they can certainly alter the outcome. Consider this: failure to wear a personal floatation device or life jacket is the main reason people lose their lives in boating accidents. In the United States, about 700 people nationwide die in boatingrelated accidents each year, according to Nancy Boldt, boat and water safety coordinator for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. Nearly 70 percent of those deaths are caused by drowning, and eight of 10 drowning victims were not wearing a life jacket. Talk about a cold splash in the face to demonstrate why its important to take water safety seriously. North Dakota law requires U.S. Coast Guard approved PFDs in the following circumstances:

in town, along with Bongs Bootery which seems to have been there forever and is one of the most popular stores. Straus Clothing were the Straus building is located now on the site of the old Kindred Hotel. Shermans Clothing on Main near where Captains Pub and the Antique Shop are now. Also grade A clothing like Straus. The large Woolworth store where Foss Drug is now. Many bars in the downtown area and churches of all kinds surrounding the downtown. Like the old country song. Raising cane on Saturday, and go to church on Sunday for some. Now they sleep in. At least a couple of furniture stores downtown, both on Main and Central. The A & W Restaurant out on East Main past the Rainbow bridge. There was even a drive in movie in VC at one time. Ice cream parlors around town. One in the front of the Creamery that was were the Labor Club is now. another one below the Pillar Theater and in several stores. Real Banana Splits! Other stores of all kinds. Mom and Pop stores like the California Fruit Store in the area just south of Budget Furniture now, a favorite with us kids. I am sure I missed some of your favorites from your own era if you were here any length of time. Write in and tell us about them, unless they were the places you would rather not have people know you frequented, like pool halls bowling alleys and certain bars. It was a fun town with a little bit of everything, and due
NOW AND THEN: from 19 to the number of people living above many of the build-
ings then, the streets of downtown did not roll up and die at 6-7 PM. The public school buildings looked like something then, rather then just square blockhouses and a parking lot. Even a large baseball diamond in the now sports area across from the Care Center, complete with bleachers where you could watch the likes of Satchal Page, or the House of David baseball team among other traveling teams. The old skating rink on the river at the City Park. Sporting events of all kinds. Parades with several marching bands from the city and all over. With real floats instead of lit up pickups. A LARGE Winter Show with stage acts like Peggy Lee back then for everyone and age. The parks were actually used, especially on weekends rather then abandoned as they often are now or literally put to pasture like Pioneers Park. Maybe we could have a goat farm there and petting zoo! Make Goat cheese for the Pizza Corner or Jimmys to use on specialty pizzas. Valley City was a great town to grow up in, especially if you did not know much about the rest of the world then, with no TV and Internet.. And a town to come back to to retire, but it will never be the same again. Economic Development here as everywhere else will make sure of that but there is only so much Hi Tech to go around. We need more towns like the old VC I think. Save what is left of the buildings. Beep Beep. Buzz Buzz. Shutting down. Sleep mode.

be for three years but it will be less if the state unhappiness meter rises above three (3) per cent. Check with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for job insurance. Job Description Unify the 11 state institutions into one integrated system that best serves the students while fighting off the state legislature, school presidents, the central Bismarck staff, alumni organizations, the Board of Higher Education and the state citizenry, all of whom are entitled to a final say on all decisions. Confer regularly with the board, legislators, presidents, staff members, alumni and citizenry. (In North Dakota, everybody gets a say.) Warn them three years in advance of plans to change procedures or programs. Organize statewide hearings on all proposals. The more hearings the better. Hearings, though unattended, provide insulation against critics later. Draft a master plan for higher education. Triple space so there will be room for corrections and changes. It need not be lengthy but it must be responsive to the aforementioned groups, all of who will expect to see their ideas included in the final draft.

Credentials Applicants must have an advanced degree from some accredited institution. However, a degree in administration from an on-line university will be unacceptable without a suitable practicum, preferably as a sergeant-major in a U. S. Army unit in Afghanistan. Demeanor In North Dakota, style is more important than substance. In North Dakota, process is more important than substance. That is why, in North Dakota, we often fail to get to substance. So the key to success is to excel in style and process. Leadership, while highly touted, is not crucial. In fact, it is dangerous. The demeanor of the overseer must not be impeachable, otherwise he will be. Smile at all children; be kind to dogs. Curtsy to all legislators. Grovel before presidents of small as well as large institutions. Genuflect for all board members, regardless of age or wisdom. No binge drinking. Keep your average up even though students dont care about theirs. Go to church regularly. Pick one that claims attendance by the largest number of board members, legislators, college presidents, alumni and staff members. Better yet, attend churches throughout the state to get a feel for the culture. In the North Dakota culture, everyone is as good as everyone else, even better sometimes. Going to church helps. Being bossy doesnt, even though you are designated the boss. Filing Application Send 374 copies of application to the following; To Whom It May Concern Board of Higher Education State Capitol Bismarck, ND 58505 crashes ended up being ejected from vehicles because they were not wearing seat belts. Evidently these people missed the classic science lesson of what happens to objects when they meet objects moving in opposite directionsor immovable objects such as bridges, trees, and approaches. As a lesson in classic inertia and moving matter, a crash near Ham Lake in Minnesota took the lives of four young parents. Only a nine-month old baby survived a head-on crash. He was the only one strapped in. None of the four went flying to their deaths buckled up. Now that is really stupid. One might think if we can fly robots without moving a muscle, we might have the brain power to determine flying through windshields and open car doors can be invasive. But science marches on anyway.
GADFLY: from 17 student spending on college athletics has
Old inequality and new discoveries The banksters took the middle class to the cleaners and emptied their pockets and took their clothes over the last decade. So the press says there is slow improvement in the economy now. The Wall Street Journal printed an interesting stat the other day. Three years ago 58.2 percent of Americans had jobs. Those were hard times, right? Contrary to all the good economic news, we now have 58.6 percent of Americans out of a job. Rememberthe population is increasing. Over 25 percent of the 2012 college graduating class is still without jobs. Many are flipping burgers in fast food joints, dreaming of engineering bridges or teaching Shakespeare. Harpers magazine published a couple of facts in their Index page which indicate things might not be OK in River City. Over the past 25 years the Consumer Price Index has gone up 41 percent while the price of beer nearly matched that at 40 percent. The price of books went down one percent during those years. I guess e-books have replaced paper. In the last eight years, per-student spending at major colleges for classes has gone up 23 percent. But per-
gone up 61 percent. Priorities, priorities. If Childrens Brains Develop More Between Ages Three And Five, Why Dont We Provide For Them During This Critical Time? Since the Bush Debacle Decade middle class American families have recovered only 63 percent of what they lost during the last recession. Americans lost $15.6 trillion of wealth in that time. In the first quarter of 2013 U.S, household wealth went up $3 trillionbut it all went to the already rich. In the meantime Senate Republicans blocked a United Nations attempt to dramatically improve the life of disabled children around the world. The UN had prepared a report The State Of The Worlds Children to emphasize the fact that disabled children were less likely to receive health care or education and are more vulnerable to violence. The UN estimates there are 93 million children who live with a moderate to severe disability. President Obama has already signed the treaty along with 127 nations, including all within the European Union. The Republicans surrendered to the pressures of the wacko right wing who said such a treaty would infringe on American sovereignty, usher in socialism (under that great socialist Barack Obama!), and allow U.N. bureaucrats to prohibit home schooling. They also suggested that the disabled would be confiscated by the state and put in state institutions. The treaty was to ensure that the disabled would be accommodated in schools, workplaces, and be eligible for vocational training and rehab programs. Contrary to commonsense, medical, and scientific fact, the Republicans on the House Agriculture Committee have cut the proposed food stamp program to the point where two million people, mostly small children, would be eliminated from food stamps. I dont understand these people. While hedge fund managers make up to $3 million an hour and Wall Street banksters make hundreds of millions a year, we cant

cive to the health and comfort of the occupants. This district has on hand a reserve fund of $2,000 and the balance required to put up a substantial brick building - say $6,000 - can be borrowed from the state school fund at 4 per cent interest. This interest, low as it is, would not be lost to the taxpayers, but would go back to their own state school fund. An eligible site would be the southwest corner of the school section on the east side of town. This is an easily accessible and well drained site and should be purchased for a very small amount. If the board will put the matter to the vote, The Progress believes that the people of the district will decide unanimously in favor of building. ********************************* Sues Comments: The conditions in the old school certainly sound deplorable and very overcrowded! It is even hard to imagine putting that many children in such a small area every day! Evidently the community also saw the need because a new brick school was built that year, 1898. ****************** Watch for more history next week!

women. Heres another quote: And another remarkable effect that came into focus only when I visited Williston myself: an influx of men - single and married, overworked and lonely, men with big dreams, men who keep their heads down, men who cause trouble - has made it an overwhelming place to be female.

The state of ND is stuck with $1.1 million of the stock of Alien Technology. A decade ago, Alien hit Fargo with a bang - the manufacturer of smart tags predicted it would create 1,100 jobs and a $55 million payroll.In May 2009, Alien closed its Fargo plant. Alien is still around as a private company in Morgan Hill, CA. Minnesotas moose population is withering, hencea big moose study.Its early in the study -- too early for conclusions. About 50 moose calves were captured and fitted with GPS transmitters for the study. So far, nearly half have been gobbled by bears and wolves. The turkey dinners arrive piping hot. There is . . .a little paper cup of cranberry sauce with a serving of cooked carrots . . . The meat and potatoes are laced with a smooth, almost sparkly light-colored gravy. And you eat!. . .

The 40-mile stretch will cost around $300 million and will not be completed until 2014. The need is urgent -- McKenzie County, where Watford City is located, has a third of the states auto fatalities this year. Each day, 12,000 vehicles (40% semis) travel the 40-mile corridor. McKenzie County has Lake Sakakawea on the east and north, Montana on the west, and the Badlands to the south.

seem to provide poor children a poor meal. New research indicates that apes, chimps, and bonobos, our very close evolutionary cousins and occasional brothers, have temper tantrums similar to Tea Party members when they dont get their way or are disappointed in results. They pout, whimper, and bang on anything loose when they dont get their way. By the way, chimps control their emotions better than apes, and bonobos use sex to let off steam. Any resemblance to politicians may not be coincidental.

Blade basics for active fishing

s summertime goes (whenever summertime comes), blades are often the hot ticket to active fish. Walleyes on spinners, bass on spinnerbaits and muskies on By Nick bucktails and inlines are Simonson standard offerings. All of these lures have something in common - the thump, flash and color of a metal blade or two drawing fish in for a look and a strike at the bait or the bait-like part of the lure. The blade you choose for your presentation whether making the lure yourself, or selecting an option from the tackle shop shelf can vary in size, color and shape. Obviously, bigger blades mean bigger vibration, more to see, and a larger target to hone in on and smaller ones provide for a bit of finesse. Color is an element easily adjusted to your body of water, or the various waters you might fish. But its the shape of the blade that often confounds anglers as they sort through the options underwater. There are three standard blades that most anglers encounter for their crawler harnesses and other lures the wide Colorado blade, the medium-width Indiana blade and the slender willow blade. Each kicks out a different vibration, sets up a unique profile on the lure and creates a varied effect in the water. The Colorado blade is a common lead on many spinners for walleyes. Its large shape and deep cup creates a lot of thump and helps lift a lure in the water column. Because of its wide profile, the Colorado blade turns easily and gets going faster on a retrieve or when trolling. With that, it is easiest to feel when trolling using a graphite rod for walleyes and kicks out the greatest vibration when casting for muskies or pike. As blades go, the Indiana blade is an in-betweener. It doesnt have the lift and thunder of the Colorado blade. But for those days when fish are spooky and you

need a subtle shimmy to draw a strike, the Indiana blade may be the ticket. With a wide bottom and slender top, it still turns easily, but needs more force to get it whirring than its Colorado counterpart. More commonly found on bass spinnerbaits, the willow blade is a long eye-shaped blade which is rarely found on walleye or in-line spinners for pike and muskies. The reason for this is the darting, flashing motion of the willow blade which makes it a baitfish imitator on lures that really need to be burned through the water. Because of its thin profile, the willow blade doesnt turn as easy as its contemporaries, but once it gets going, it provides that illusion of a baitfish in full on flee mode. In tandem or in a group of three or four along the arm of a bass spinnerbait, willow blades can quickly be set up to resemble a group of baitfish on the run. Additionally, there are hybrids and variants of these common lure parts. Of note is the vib-orado blade, a Colorado blade with a hole in the middle, providing for a unique vibration from the change in hydrodynamics caused by the missing circle of metal on the blade. Fluted Indiana blades provide more resistance with a set of ridges at the wider bottom of the blade. Dozens of other one-offs, such as smiley blades, propeller blades, and textured blades change every presentation a little to help you find the whats right for the fish, and their mood, at different times and conditions on your waters. Now that you know the specific factors that come with blade selection, and where each can be used effectively, try a few lures out with different blade combinations, whether fishing for walleyes, bass or pike. Chances are, youll get a pattern down based on weather and water conditions and corresponding fish mood as to how much vibration and what kind of presentation you put out there, increasing your odds of success in future fishing trips, where blades may be the base of your go-to lurein our outdoors
