Happy ending for owner of wallet
t could have been a disasterous weekend for a visitor attending Rally in the Valley if not for the honesty of a local couple. Neil and Ruth Schmidt, Valley City residents, originally from Hannaford,
found a wallet stuffed with a large amount of cash, credit cards and gift cards on Saturday night. They were attending the music event in the VFW Park when they discovered someones wallet laying on

the grass. They did the right thing and turned the wallet in to the Valley City police station. The out-of-town owner of the wallet was later surprised with a visit by the Valley City police who tracked him down at the home he was visiting. It was a surprise because he had no idea he had lost his wallet. Somehow the police knew where to find him to return the wallet and also gave him the Schmidts address. The owner then made a surprise visit on Tuesday evening and presented the Schmidts with a dining gift certificate and big thank you for the safe return of the wallet.

Sauer creates art center in Lisbon

By Jon Pike For the INDY orking in art and owning an art-based business in small town North Dakota, can be tough according to Shellee Sauer, who owns the ArtnFusion Art Center in Lisbon. But, theres no doubt that when you descend the front stairs to her basement, located in her house that art is her world and that she would choose such a business for herself. There are racks filled with brushes and paints, and there are tables set up so that people can come in and do art projects. There is also evidence of her favorite medium, ceramics. There are glazed pieces that are ready to be painted and this is probably the only house in Lisbon with two pottery wheels. I like to get my hands in things, Sauer said about her chosen medium in which to work. But there are other artistic pieces up on the walls and on pedestals in her well-lit place of business
PAGE 3
and studio, such as pastel and watercolor paintings and even a few colorful glass pieces scattered here and there. The room is neat and well-lit. The previously mentioned tough part Sauer said, a lack of collaboration with other artists. To get that, Sauer said she travels to Fargo frequently, or takes trips to artist colonies near Whitefish, Mont., so that she can get feedback from other artists on her own work. The Stumptown Arts Center was an inspiration for having some sort of facility where people could do art. But, art was what she was going to do. When I told my mom I was going to major in art at, what was then, Valley City State College, she made it clear to me that I needed to find a doctor or a lawyer to support me. But, such a mate was not in the cards for her, as she met and married a man who became a mechanic who works for Bobcat, which is why the family lives in Lisbon. But, major in art, she did. Sauer also did a number of things to support her-
self as a working artist, including selling her art and going back to school to get further training to do art. But having a contract with the school district in Milner didnt leave me a lot of time. My husband saw less of me than when I was going to school, Sauer said. So, what she needed then was a way to do her own art and weld it to her training in art education, so that she could share doing art with other people. We thought about going the non-profit route, Sauer said. We learned right away that was not the right option for us. A lot of nonprofits around here struggle and I learned I was probably going to spend most of my time writing grants. But, what she wanted to do was art. So, she and her husband formed a corporation. She originally looked at a place on Main Street which in her words, was beautiful, but I just couldnt afford the overhead. So, thats why the facility is in her house. What she does offer people is a chance to come in and do art in her studio,

ollowing the still popular trend of the gritty reboot of the formerly cartoonish superhero tale,Man of Steelretells the story of Supermans (Henry Cavill) origins, adding in a few dashes of realism. The imminent destruction of their home planet Krypton forces Supermans parents to jettison their son to the far-off planet Earth in the hopes that he will forge his own destiny. The baby of steel crash-lands in Kansas and gets picked up by the good-hearted Kents. They christen him Clark and raise him as their own while simultaneously teaching him to hone his overwhelming superhuman senses. His adoptive father (Kevin Costner) urges his son to keep his skills a secret lest the world become afraid of his power, but Clark just cant stop himself from helping anyone in need. Clark grows up, jumping from job to job, successfully hiding his true identity from everyone except intrepid journalist Lois Lane (Amy Adams), who uses her investigative skills to hunt him down. Also hot on his tail is General Zod (Michael Shannon), an evil Kryptonian partially responsible for the destruction of Clarks home planet. Zod wants to rebuild Krypton from the ground up, with Earths people as collateral damage. The time for secrecy is over. Superman dons his red cape and fights for the future of Earth Man of Steel provides solid summer entertainment. It manages to make the familiar story of Superman interesting again, thanks to the advances in CGI and the addition of Supermans childhood flashbacks. The visuals are mostly gorgeous, especially with some startling imagery in a dream sequence. However, some fight sequences felt repetitive or looked as if they were skipping like a scratched DVD would - an ill-advised attempt to show how quickly Kryptonians move compared to humans. Leading man Cavill gives an earnest performance as the titular hero. Yet despite attempts to make his Superman more grounded and relatable, hes somehow devoid of a strong personality, allowing our previous perceptions of

School. The Maasjo family has a history of musical talent and these Maasjo sisters were each very musically inclined and not until after the high school years did they actually get together one day, preparing to sing solos in church, when they thought they would actually try singing together as a trio, just as an experiment. Well, as the saying goes, the rest is history. Realizing for the first time they could actually harmonize together, the Maasjo Sisters Trio was born! Since that time, the sisters have throughout the years sang as a trio for various church events, weddings, anniversaries, funerals, community events, outdoor mini concerts, talent competitions and shows. They also sang with the band, Old Hat for a few years whose members were from the Enderlin/Lisbon area. The sisters have a long history of singing together and continue to this day. They enjoy singing all types of music and hope to continue to grow musically as a trio. The sisters all presently live in the Valley City/Fingal area. Music at the courthouse is sponsored by the Valley City Parks & Recreation District, Bridges Arts Council & Ingstad Family Media. A free will offering is taken in support of Saving the Bandshell.. Bring your lawn chair or blanket. In case of inclement weather, the program will be held in the City Auditorium. NOTE: There is no Music on Wednesday, July 3. Have a safe 4th of July.

Walking is very healthy

By Pat Egeberg, RN
love walking. Anyone can do it. My husband and I get out for a walk whenever we can. Its free; and like we say in the ON THE MOVE Partnership, walking is like medicine, free medicine. Anyone can get their exercise in through a brisk walk either alone or with friends, or while walking a stroller. I hope that people in our area will take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that we have to walk here in Valley City. Build your walk into your everyday life, and all the benefits that come along with moving and walkingboth physical and mental. As a nurse I see many people with hypertension (high blood pressure), in fact
one third of adult Americans have high blood pressure. Walking is a great way to first of all prevent high blood pressure, and it is also a great way to control high blood pressure if you have it. There is a terrific website I would encourage investigating: www.everybodywalk.org with a great deal of information on walking. 1. It tells you how to obtain an application for your smart phone that will set targets such as distance, time and calories burned, let you view your walking routes on maps, and watch your progress and save walks for future reference. 2. It provides videos and tips on walking safely and more.

students are properly prepared and to help reduce the need for remedial classes in college. In announcing the pilot project, Kirsten Baesler, North Dakota superintendent of public instruction, said, The problem is not that our colleges or high schools are doing a bad job teaching our students, but there is insufficient communication between our institutions on a statewide level that has resulted in a misaligned curriculum between high schools and higher education. This project will begin to correct that issue. We want to find out where we are and where the gaps are, said Julee Russell, VCSU professor of English and site coordinator for the event. We hope to provide students with greater opportunity for success. The group will meet again at VCSU June 2425 to continue their work, ultimately producing a document which identifies the gaps between the high schools Common Core State Standards and college/university first-year composition courses, and makes suggestions for adjustments in first-year college English outcomes.

1269 Main St. W Valley City, ND
alley City State University head womens basketball coach Jill DeVries has resigned, ending her 14-year tenure on the sidelines at VCSU. DeVries guided the Vikings to the NAIA National Tournament the past three years, amassing a school-record 24 wins last season. She was named the DAC Coach of the Year in 2011 after leading the team to the DAC Tournament Championship. I have great respect for Jill and it has been an honor to work with her these past three years, said athletic director Jack Denholm. Jill has brought the womens basketball program to a whole new level and exemplifies the type of coach we want here at VCSU. DeVries also worked as assistant athletic director at VCSU. Denholm said a search for her replacement will begin immediately. I am grateful for the rich and rewarding opportunity that Valley City State has afforded me for the past 14 years to serve as its head womens basketball coach, DeVries said. I have learned and grown so much. I thank my staff,
Athletics Director Jack Denholm, President Steve Shirley, the rest of the administration and my colleagues, as well as all those who have supported the program, for their encouragement, guidance and assistance. I especially thank the student athletes, both past and present, for their dedication and committed efforts. I will always look back with affection, satisfaction and pride in all that we have accomDeVries plished.I certainly believe that our collective efforts and experiences have created an expectation of excellence for future teams and for future success.

Turkey license deadline extended into August

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is moving the 2013 fall turkey license application deadline, originally set for July 3, to August this year to allow for a better assessment of the fall turkey population before determining license numbers. The official date for the application deadline has not yet been determined. Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor, said the change will allow more opportunities for hunters. For years, the fall turkey proclamation was finalized in late May, with applications out in early June and the deadline for applying early July. Game and Fish made the decision to change the fall turkey process this spring, after
a tentative application deadline of July 3 was publicized in news releases, online, and in the North Dakota Outdoors magazine annual calendar. Game and Fish licensing manager Randy Meissner said moving the application process into August will not cause any issues for applicants, as successful hunters will be notified well in advance of opening day. Hunters should expect licenses in September, and the season doesnt open until mid-October, he said. Prospective applicants should check the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov in August for more information on the fall turkey license application process.

Trees and shrubs

Submitted by Diane Heuser
0422#474
ugo pine shrubs are now sending out new shoots, commonly called candles. Cut or pinch off twothirds of the candles to give the shrub a formal appearance. Pine trees may also be pruned in this manner, although we usually do not recommend trimming evergreen trees in home landscapes. Japanese tree lilac is one of the few summer-flowering trees. The short, hardy tree has creamy white, fragrant (smelly?) blooms. Its one of the toughest trees in urban landscapes. The arching branches of bridalwreath spirea are beautiful in full bloom. Its so sad to see this shrub trimmed into a square hedge or a gumdrop! Instead, allow the tree to form in its natural shape. To do this, make your pruning cuts at the base of the shrub, trimming out as much as one-fifth of the canes during any single year. Limit further pruning to removing inward facing branches. A similar pruning technique is recommended for lilacs. Lawns The first lawns that turn yellow in summer are usually those that are mowed the shortest. Mow your turf at a tall height (preferably three inches). The taller your lawn in the summer, the better. A tall lawn develops a deep, drought-tolerant root system. The taller the grass blades, the more shade will be cast to the ground, thereby reducing heat stress. Let grass clippings fall to the ground. The clippings will act as a mulch to keep the soil cool and moist. The clippings also recycle nutrients to the ground it is like getting a free fertilization every year. Most lawns wont need fertilizer until Labor Day. The exception is with heavily irrigated lawns, which can benefit from a light fertilization in summer. Organic fertilizers (for example, Milorganite) are less likely to burn lawns compared to chemical fertilizers. Mushrooms sometimes emerge in lawns. Dont worry these mushrooms are simply decaying old tree roots or other organic matter in the soil. When the tree roots are fully rotted, which can take five years of longer, the mushrooms will stop. For now, just rake the mushrooms. No sprays can control this. Flowers and Houseplants Caladium, canna and begonia bulbs are best planted in June after the soil has warmed thoroughly. Pinch chrysanthemums from now through the end of June to develop compact, busy plants. Remove the tips of young shoots when they are about eight inches long. Morning is the best time to harvest cut flowers. If possible, immediately place the cut flowers into a bucket of room temperature water. Keep flowering plants beautiful all summer long by removing the old, faded flowers. The plants will be encouraged to produce new flowers, rather than wasting energy

A sloppy sign
he sign hanging tied up between two large trees was what appeared to be a large bed sheet with a spray painted message. It seemed like the kind of work a few high school kids pulling a prank would do. Something hurried together so that no one could catch them in the act. The sign was hung up in the park downtown in the city where I went to high school. It read, Jesus Christ is a myth. It wasnt hung up by youngsters trying to play a joke but by a group that was unhappy with the city allowing a display of pictures showing the life of Christ in that same park. The city allowed this group to put up their display to show their belief so as not to be seen as promoting one belief over another. I will make no commentary today on the legal fine points. But I would like to remark on the statement that emblazoned that sign. Their statement was and is false. They are wrong. There is clear evidence that Jesus Christ lived and walked among the people of Israel. This is substantiated, in case you were wondering, by a man named Josephus who was a Jewish man who was writing in the 1st century. Josephus was one who turned to the Romans side and was considered a traitor for this, he was not a Christian. There and in other places we can find evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ. The chief place to look for information about Jesus is the

Bible. We have there well documented accounts of the life and times of Jesus. Jesus is no myth. You might already be saying that they didnt really mean Jesus was a myth; just that He was not really what people say He was. Namely, the Son of God who came to take away the sins of the world. Namely, God in the By The Rev. flesh who healed the sick, Dennis Norby cast out demons, raised the dead, and who Himself was raised from the dead. That is likely true. If that be the case, their signs message was still not correct and I would add that the meaning they likely intended is wrong as well. Jesus Christ was no myth. The message of the Bible is clear, even from the mouths of demons. In Luke 8 Jesus is confronted by a man possessed by a demon. The man cries out, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Even the demon knows who Jesus is, the Son of the Most High God. The Only Begotten Son of God, who is equal with God in power and majesty, yet humbled himself and took on flesh. Christs humility was so great that He even endured death on the Cross that we might be reconciled to God. Jesus is no myth He is the Savior.

NOESKE REAL ESTATE DRAIN TILE APPLICATION Application to Install a Subsurface Drain for Noeske Real Estate, LLP, in the Southeast Quarter of Section 26 and the Northwest Quarter of Section 26 of Baldwin Township The Board reviewed Application to Install a Subsurface Drain dated March 26, 2013, for Noeske Real Estate, LLP. The Board concluded the application does not propose drainage of statewide significance, so the Board has jurisdiction to approve the permit (without forwarding to the State Engineers Office to consider and approve). Under the application, Applicant seeks to install a drain tile system in the Southeast Quarter of Section 26 and the Northwest Quarter of Section 26 of Baldwin Township, Barnes County, North Dakota. The project will include two outlets. The first outlet regarding
the portion in the Southeast Quarter will be in northeast corner of the Southeast Quarter and will discharge directly into a natural watercourse. The second outlet regarding the portion of the project in the Northwest Quarter will be in the southeast corner of the Northwest Quarter and will discharge via underground pipeline through a small portion of the Southwest Quarter of Section 26 before discharging into the natural watercourse in the Southeast Quarter of Section 26. Both are gravity outlets. The Board previously reviewed the application and concluded that because a portion of the project, the underground buried pipe, will be in the Southwest Quarter of Section 26, the Board issued a Thirty-Day Notice under N.D.

ecently a friend asked me how I see fishing in the future. Since my approach to fishing probably fits more in 1983 than 2013, and for sure what fishing may be like in 2033, I really struggled to envision the way fishing would look years from now. What I can do is look back on how Ive seen fishing change over the course of more than three decades in North Dakota, and By look for more positive improvements to Doug Leier come. I dont know that anyone could have predicted 30 years ago that fishing as a whole could be substantially better in 2013 than in 1983. But it is. While technological advances in rods, reels, line, artificial baits, boats and motors and fish-finding electronics might serve to improve fish-catching success on any given day, there are a number of other factors involved. First off, in 1983 the State Game and Fish Departments magazine, North Dakota OUTDOORS, listed 143 fishing waters in the state. Today, the number of managed fishing waters is about 400. We can thank Mother Nature for that. A wet cycle that beganin 1993, and is still with us, is responsible for providing all that extra water on the landscape capable of supporting fish life. Another significant factor is the Wallop-Breaux Amendment, passed by Congress in 1984, which expanded the list of items included under the federal excise tax on fishing equipment. Wallop-Breaux also provided for additional funds to states from federal gasoline excise taxes attributable to motorboats, and mandated that states spend at

Berea is located four miles west of Valley City and was originally founded as a Northern Pacific Railroad loading station. It was named after Berea, Kentucky, and Berea, Kentucky, was namedby Sen. Cassius M. Clayafter a Biblical city in Macedonia (See Acts 17:10-15). Sen. Clay, a famous 19th century abolitionist and prohibitionist, envisioned Berea, Kentucky, as a refuge for freed slaves. Cassius Clay, the famous heavyweight champion (who later changed his name to Mohammed Ali) was By Dennis named after his father, Stillings Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., who was named after Senator Clay. One can scarcely think of Berea, North Dakota, without being reminded of Mohammed Ali. The post office in Berea was established January 4, 1896 with Ellsworth J. Holliday as postmaster; it closed October 24, 1896, with mail going to Valley City. Berea was never incorporated. We would occasionally hike along the tracks to Berea, looking for interesting pebbles. (The roadbed at that time was made from all kinds of small stones, not just the dull darkgrey crushed basalt you see today.) Here and there we would find an interesting example of flint or a translucent chalcedony. By todays child safety standards, walking the tracks would be considered unthinkably dangerous. We didnt even wear helmets and kneepads. Indeed, members of our hiking party would be so intent on rockhunting that the locomotive thundering down on them went unnoticed. We lost one of our companions who, after placing a penny on the track to be flattened, put his ear to the rail to listen if a train were coming. Indeed it was.
(This is not true, just testing to see if I still had your attention. There were no casualties.) * * * This is Small-Town Summer at the Barnes County Museum.

KohlrabI: The Sputnik vegetable
Tim Holland 701.261.2833

SERVING THE LOCAL AREA!
n 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first man-made satellite. It was called Sputnik, and it looked a lot like a kohlrabi. Now, with so few people familiar with kohlrabi, the vegetable is often described as looking a lot like Sputnik, which is not far from the truth. The flattened globe rests just above the surface of the earth, and long stems shoot up from the curved sides as well as from the top, giving it a spiky space-age look. Its unique shape is clearly displayed because the leaves dont begin until a foot or so above the pale green or vibrant purple orb. If you find kohlrabi in the store, its foliage will have been removed, so be sure and buy from a local farmer and youll get two vegetables for the price of one the crunchy bulbous stem, and the leaves, which can be used as you would kale or any other cooking green.

Congress Suffering from Chronic Citizen Contempt

Serving in the U. S. Congress is one of the most important jobs in the world. The hockey coach at the University of North Dakota may make more money but he affects only one small part of the world. Congresspersons impact just about everything that happens in the United States. Because Congress members have such power, it is important that they perform their duties with a reasonable degree of public confidence. But, according to the latest Gallup poll, they are getting a big fat F from the people who hired them. The poll reported that 90 per cent of the citizenry had little or no confidence in Congress. In other words, this country is being run by a branch of government that is flunking so badly that it needs rehabilitation summer school, at least. Big business, organized labor and banks were rated more highly. The 10 per cent represents a 30 per cent drop in confidence since 1973. We wouldnt tolerate an educational system, a military establishment, or an Internal Revenue Service that performed so poorly. Neither would Congress. If we had employees doing as poorly as Congress, we would show them the door with dispatch. But instead of firing them, we turn around in every election and send 90 per cent of the incumbents back for another term. No kidding! What can explain such an obvious contradiction a discredited 10 per cent Congress that keeps getting reelected en masse? Many explanations have been proposed, including the advantages of incumbency, availability of campaign funds, ignorance of the electorate, lop-sided districts, name recognition and bringing home the bacon. Disregard of public opinion could also be a factor. Before we start making accusations, however, we need to remember that the Founding Fathers were not great fans of the publics opinion. To guard the country against excesses, they designed a government that thwarted the irrational impulses of the masses. In Federalist No. 10, James Madison explained that we needed a representative system to refine and

Nelsons have never given Mr. Buchholz permission to be on their land and will not give permission for Mr. Buchholz to fill in his illegal digging. NRCS still needs to investigate this situation also. Manager Bret Fehr made a motion to table any decision by the BC Water Resource District till after the civil matter is completed. Manager Bruce Anderson second motion. Motion approved. Calvin Lettenmaier complained about how the county had cleaned out the ditch along county 11 S. He had cleaned out ditch along County Road 11, some time ago. He just wants to clean out, not make any changes in ditch. Calvin was told to work with road authority for this job, as long as it is just cleaning ditch. Also advised if more than cleaning is needed, he would have to get State Permit and Road Superintendant approval. SANBORN LAKE Fred Offner addressed the managers of the board. He reported to them that he does not want any of the drainage ditches plugged. He does not want BC Water Resource District on his property. Board managers discussed with Mr. Offner that the district needed to restore the wetlands for Fish & Wildlife Service by the 15th of June, and put in a crossing for Mr. Jorissen per the agreement from previous year. Mr. Offner did agree to have Manager Bruce Anderson as the talk to person from the district. Brian Strom Farm Manager for US Bank and representative for Walter Jorissen addressed the water district with information from Mr. Jorissen. 1. Compensation for land - 4.6 acres along drainage ditch @ $3,250 = $13,650 50% of 10 acres farm land (not able to get to) @ $3,250 = $16,250 Total $29,900 2. Crossing constructed with engineers plans. 50 top of crossing. 3. Clean out NW section of Walter Jorissens area. Mike Opat will design a crossing/culvert for Sanborn Lake Outlet. (Offner/ Jorissen) Lots of discussion on this subject. Manager Bruce Anderson made a motion to change original crossing size from 50 top to a 30 top with a 10 year event road design. Assuming 20 cfs discharge from Sanborn Outlet. Bret Fehr seconded motion. Motion was approved with a roll call vote of YES by all managers, except Manager Ken Evenson, who had to leave the meeting earlier and did not vote. Discussion of possible $25,000 pay off and construct the crossing and sign off of easement and Offner and Jorissen will have to deal with NRCS and Game & Fish Services.

A Fathers Day lament

F
athers Day has come and gone, but theres still time to reflect on some of the disparities between our celebration of dad and our celebration of mom. Not to mention our differing priorities when it comes to men versus women. In our politically-charged world, there is a concerted effort on one side of the political spectrum to turn females into perpetual victims of a supposed war on women. But what if I told you that, despite the effort to make women into victims, there is a lot of unfairness toward men in our society? Lets look at the just-passed holiday. There are more long distance phone calls placed on Mothers Day than any other day of the year, but Fathers Day has the dubious honor of the most collect calls (meaning dad picks up the charges). About 140 million
moms receive cards for Mothers Day, compared to just 90 million dads getting Fathers Day cards. According to a recent market research survey, the average budget for a gift for dad is $20. For mom, its $65. In 2010, over $5.4 billion was spent on dad on Fathers Day. On Mothers Day, $10.8 million was spent on mom. According to an online survey by RetailMeNot.com, 81 percent of adults feel that Mothers Day and Fathers Day should be celebrated equally, however over three-quarters (77%) of both men and women who responded to the survey feel that, in general, mothers tend to receive more attention or celebration on Mothers Day than dads do on Fathers Day, CBS reported last year. But Fathers Day isnt the only area where this unequal treatment shows

If you watch TV, then youve most likely witnessed the By Rob portrayal of the modPort ern-day husband and father as lazy, incompetent and stupid, reported Sarah Peterson for Deseret News earlier this year in an article entitled Dumbing down Dad. An exploratory content analysis of family-oriented sitcoms shows modern television fathers and working class television fathers are more likely to be portrayed foolishly than fathers of the past or fathers of higher socioeconomic classes, finds a study published in the Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media. We spend a lot of time honoring women and moms, and not nearly as much time honoring men and fathers. And we dont seem to care as much about men when it comes to health, either.

least 10 percent of the apportionment on boat access. In North Dakota, this new money available to states allowed for the Game and Fish Department to partner with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on expanding the fish production capabilities at Garrison Dam and Valley City national fish hatcheries. Today, that means the state can distribute 9 million walleye fingerlings later in June, as well as several other fish species, to supplement all those new waters in the state. In 1986, with additional dollars for boat access, Game and Fish poured its first concrete boat ramp. Today North Dakota has several hundred quality ramps, and in addition has many waters that have accessible fishing piers and popular fish cleaning stations. Technology has also given us web-based contour maps and stocking reports available for planning at the old desktop computer or modern smartphone 24 hours a day. Better access over the past few decades has led to an increasingly mobile boating community, and that, unfortunately has increased the potential for the spread of aquatic nuisance species. When I started my career in the natural resources field, Id never heard a reference to aquatic nuisance species. Sure, carp have been around for decades, but now we have more problems with invasive species such as Eurasian water milfoil and Asian carp that have arrived in North Dakota, with zebra mussels likely on the way as the latest threat to waterways and fisheries. Its a safe bet these concerns are with us for the foreseeable future. How the people who fish and boat in North Dakota both residents and nonresidents embrace new laws designed to prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species will have a major influence on what the fishing scene will look like 20 years from now. As for the future of fishing, if the next 20 years are like the last 20 years as far as precipitation, we could have even more viable fisheries than we do today. If the opposite occurs, well have fewer lakes. And some days the fish will bite, and some days they PORT: 24 wont.

Southern breezes
heres an old fishing rhyme that, after years of translation and retelling, goes something like this: Wind from the north, dont venture forth; wind from the east, fish bite the least, wind from the west, fish bite the best; wind from the south, the hook goes in mouth. A breeze out of the south has always been a confidence wind for me. Maybe it was spending summers on the south shore of Big Detroit Lake in Minnesota fishing bass under docks or walleyes late at night where my side of the lake was calm while others had to deal with chop. Maybe it was that summer of 2005 when the winds seemed to roar from downstream direction of the Sheyenne River and the smallmouth bass jumped in the boat on the flow near my childhood home. Its registered in my fishing logs and in my memories that when the wind is rising out of the 180 degree direction, the fishing just seems to be better. South winds on the northern plains herald a warm up, generally with stable sunny weather and occasional pop-up thunderstorms and that mean fish get active and are ready to feed with no fear of a Canadian cold air intrusion. This weekend, I hoped against the trend which filled the last two months with rainy, cool weekends that the south breeze pushing me up Highway 59 to the family cabin would bring in the first fully fishable break of the summer. Upon arrival at the lake with my wife Angie, and my godson, Gavin, in tow,
we were quickly in the boat for the evening bite We anchored up in By Nick front of the Simonson creek near our family place and let the breeze soaring overhead turn the boat in the shallows in front of the cool inflowing water. The bare bottom of the lake more resembled early May conditions, with no weeds apparent on the depthfinder, thanks to the late spring. We were just happy to have a first taste of real summer, thinking back on the battles with the weather we had endured since midMarch. It wasnt long until a snappy tap at the end of my line signaled an aggressive pick-up by a hungry walleye. I dropped my rod tip and reeled down and felt another tug. I swept my rod back and set the hook into the first keeper of the night. Soon the red light of Gavins bobber faded into the depths and he reeled up on his little spincast combo. Another nice walleye was at hand and in the livewell. Angie followed suit, arching her rod up when her bobber disappeared into the darkening water. Night settled in, and we were spared the wrath of the multitude of mosquitoes and other insects hovering around us, thanks to the south winds that continued to roar through the oak trees on shore. In the light of my headlamp, they looked like shooting stars blazing above the waters surface. Clearly the
warm weather was not the only benefit of the gusty southern breezes. After a few northern pike picked away at our dwindling supply of spottail shiners a bait that matched the forage near the creek mouth that the local predators were feasting on Gavin used our last minnow to hook into our final keeper of the evening. With the sixteeninch fish in the net, we celebrated with high fives and a quick photo. Gavin replayed the story over and over as we headed back into the dock, laughing and recounting his two keepers in the boat to Angie and me having just one each. I killed the motor and we coasted in. A slight gust caught the bow and stopped the boat at an arms length from the lift. I walked up to the front and grabbed the aluminum frame of the boat lift and slid the hull onto the guides. I unloaded our gear and breakfast for the next day and headed toward the cabin. I looked up at the waxing crescent moon, peeking through the puffy night clouds above. A mayfly shot through the light of my headlamp and in a blue-white streak it disappeared into the darkness away from the cabin. It wasnt a shooting star, but I made a wish anyway for continued success, more samples of summer and days full of southern breezesin our outdoors.

Theres a really cool tool on the new ILS. I can run a report which determines how much money patrons have saved borrowing library materials versus purchasing those same items. A challenge to you. How much money have patrons saved from January 1st through the end of May? Library patrons have saved $284,163.62 using the library rather than buying the same materials. Pretty amazing for only 4 months. Additionally, from 5/1/ 2012 through 4/30/2013 patron savings was $706,576, which is several times our annual budget. That is money which has stayed in the community. Im sure you will agree the library is a potent economic force in Barnes County. One of the things I would like to do here at the library is increase our programming. If you have any ideas for programs, classes, or events we can present to children, teens, adults, or seniors please let me or a member of staff know. Even better, if you have an idea for something you would like to present I definitely would like to talk with you. Libraries across the county are presenting or hosting some amazing events. I think the citizens of Barnes County should have similar access. If you have any questions or suggestions about the future of the library please feel free to call or stop in and talk with me. My door is always open, unless its closed.

The above report of the Bureau of the Census just received by the Independent direct from the Department of Commerce of the government, offers many interesting points of interest to the residents of Ransom county. From a study of figures, it will be observed that every township in the county with one exception has made large increases in population in the past twenty years, many of them showing a gain of nearly three hundred per cent. Of the incorporated cities and villages of the county, Enderlin has made the largest gain since the census of 1900, showing a net increase of 301.7 per cent. Lisbon comes next with an increase of 176.3 per cent, while this little village of Sheldon has just three more people than it had twenty years ago. Again, as has been the case for the past ten years and more, the report shows our own progressive city to be the undisputed metropolis of Ransom county. ********************************* Sues Comments: Looking at this census, you can already see some trends developing such as the decrease in population in Sheldon and Owego. I was surprised to see that Liberty Township was the only one to lose population. Perhaps the city limits were expanded and more people were counted within the city census. On the 1900 census, Enderlin was only nine years old so a significant increase should not have been a big surprise, especially with the further development of the railroad as a division point. However, the population of Ransom County on the 2010 Census was only 5,457 which is less than the 1900 census of Ransom County, 110 years ago.

Superman to drive the film instead of his performance itself. I cannot remember a time I did not know who Superman was. His values and the ideal of humanity he stands for is ingrained in our society from the time were old enough to tie a red towel around our shoulders and pretend to fly around the living room. But at some point during my adolescence, I started disliking Superman. I thought his origin story was kooky. He had virtually no weaknesses. He always won and always saved the day. He was basically the Deus ex machina of superheroes, with events always working out in his favor. [Spoiler alert] For most of the movie, Clark upholds his ideals of simultaneous compassion and strength. But while the movie is more serious than its predecessors, I wasnt really getting the gritty vibe Id been promised. Then, the last 10 minutes of the movie changed the game. Superman makes the conscious decision to end someones life. Immediately, the people in the theater drew their breath. A few expletives flew. A fully grown man cried, He just killed somebody! trying to hide the disappointment etched in his voice. It was as if it were the biggest twist in a movie these people had ever seen. Nobody had been expecting it. In this moment, I also felt that Id been cheated out of something that was supposed to be constant. For all my talk of how boring and predictable Superman is, watching my first superhero break his code of honor proved more difficult than I anticipated. In this moment, I realized that I still looked up to the idea of Superman while simultaneously labeling it outdated. Director Zach Snyders awkward moral middle ground was more difficult to embrace than an outright dark Superman. While not entirely morose,Man of Steelsuccessfully chronicles Supermans life and makes it interesting. Some downfalls are a bit of repetitive fight choreography, some strange-looking CGI at times, and lack of much-needed quieter moments to advance characterization. While its definitely not my favorite superhero movie, Man of Steel is thought-provoking and one of my favorite Superman stories to date.

There is another great resource available that will make tracking your walking miles easier than ever before. The website www.gmap-pedometer.com lets you check how far you are walking, running, or biking... and more accurately than your vehicles odometer. Check it out on your computer! In last weeks Your Health column a map of Valley City was printed to inform everyone of present sidewalks and paths in our town, and to inform people about proposed paths. Check it out and contact Dewey Magnuson our city commissioner in charge of streets if you have ideas on where you would like a path to be placed. And for those people who are bikers, which I also enjoy, ON THE MOVE/ACHIEVE will be placing four new bike racks around Valley City: at MarketPlace Foods, Sanford Eye Clinic, Sanford Health, and by Quilted Ceiling. Leevers has also just placed a bike rack at their business. Besides being pleasant and free, walking is also good for the mind and soul, sparking your creativity and inspiration. Just 30 minutes of walking, five times a week, is enough to improve your overall health. Get ON THE MOVELets walk!

only 14 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than a man is from prostate cancer, funding for breast cancer research is 660 percent greater than funding for prostate cancer research. Even the post office has gotten into the act: there is only one disease for which you can buy a postage stamp and the profits will go to research to cure the disease: breast cancer, even though heart disease kills millions more men prematurely. Before the age of 65, men die of heart attacks at three times the rate of women. In the economic world, too, we have a blind spot. Wage discrepancies between men and women get a lot of attention, yet few Americans know that men suffered 82% of the job losses during the recent recession. To be clear, I dont think theres a war on men any more than theres a war on women, and Im certainly not discounting the importance of moms. But I think it would be fair to say that our society, at least in modern times, isnt nearly aware enough of the challenges men face. Thats food for thought as we honor those men in our lives who helped raise us. Though it doesnt get nearly as much attention, their well-being matters too.

as well as programs for children. There is a set fee per child and a limit for the classes. She also offers adult and teen classes in her favorite medium clay. Information on the classes can be found on her website at www.artnfusion.com. Though she says there are drawbacks to doing art in a small-town, such as not having other artists to talk to and collaborate with. She does say that living in Lisbon does have its advantages. My husband has 25 years in at Bobcat and thats a good job, so were not moving, she said. She also likes the ambience of the town. When you come into town, theres a beautiful bridge that you come over, Sauer said. Indeed, even her tree-lined street has a certain ambience to it. Lisbon is one of the North Dakota communities that has a full main street and even has a working movie theater. She is even eager to recommend a downtown eatery called Hodenattes that is located in renovated hardware stores and has plenty of arts and crafts items for sale. So, maybe the idea of doing an art-based business in Lisbon isnt such a bad after all. Shellee Sauer has found a way to do art and to teach other people how to do art and to make some money while doing so. Her art studio on a residential street in Lisbon is something that the community can say differentiates it from other North Dakota towns, as it has a working artist who has found a way to help others in the community make art. its way out of the impasses. In all fairness, we should point out that legislative bodies have always ranked low in the polls, though 10 per cent is a record. This contempt for Congress and state legislatures has manifested itself through demeaning jokes. We all know a few. At this juncture, it appears that Congress is suffering from a more serious case than usual of citizen contempt. What will be the consequences? If history is any indication, this low rating will not translate into political action and most of the actors producing this low rating will be back for another act. And the nation will struggle through. We made it through the Civil War, didnt we? on producing seeds. Mulch your plantings to reduce weeds, keep the soil temperature moderate, and conserve moisture. Organic mulches such as shredded bark or cocoa bean shells work well. Houseplants can now be safely taken outside. Start them outdoors in a shady area to avoid burning the leaves. Over time, the plants will develop a waxy natural sunscreen layer over their leaves to protect them from suffering sunburn. After a couple of weeks you can introduce the plants to higher levels of sunlight.

PAGE 26 NOW AND THEN: from 27 the projector for ONE screen: $60,000. FAR below the $200,000 for the two screens of our old theater. The cost of renting a digital copy of a first-run movie, even in the second week which is the earliest they have been able to obtain, is $200 to $300 for a weekend. I believe this is a minimum cost as the studios would like to get a cut of the profits, if any. There are none or very seldom I am sure in Page. This could be different in Valley City. Thus that price would be a starting point per movie as to costs. The Page Theater is about an hours drive from Valley City and straight north of Buffalo about 17 miles on a twolane road. Two weekends ago, the Page Theater had the latest Star Trek movie, Into Darkness. This last week it had the aforementioned Epic animated movies. Both are recent pictures. The normal showing time is 7:30. If you dont like driving in Fargo, it is an alternative. Epic had a 2:30 matinee this last weekend. The second week showing of a new movie is about the earliest the studios will allow for that pricing. Visit www.pagend.com for information or City of Page on Facebook. It is a nice weekend drive. There is more then one way to skin a cat as they say, or to overcome an apathetic city. Duane mentioned a couple other small cities that could be used as examples. Cavalier, and Mayville are the ones he mentioned to me if I understood him correctly. The city of Page, like Oakse, is pulling itself up not only in the addition of the summer Movie Theater and a very good community-run Cafe, but in fixing up or replacing its few remaining buildings in the downtown area: a goodsized supermarket, Senior Center, a two-story building near the theater and other commercial buildings etc. on a wide street with center of the road parking available (something we once had in Valley City many years ago on Main judging from old pictures). Communities do not have to just die a slow death if the people work together. Check it out if you want to clean your engine out. Located in Cass County, but equally distant from Valley City and Fargo.

NOW AND THEN
Page revives movie theater as weekend entertainment

wo weeks ago in the Independent I commented on the proposal by Jennifer Fiest of our Economic Development Corporation that some private individual or group of individuals in this city start another full time movie theater after she had been approached by several people Main Street Page, N.D. that a movie theater in this city is needed. My contention was that it is desired by By Lowell many people and needed by apparently Busching only a few, based on the experience of the last movie theater operator here in Valley City at Theaters 1 & 2 on West Main next to the Ford Garage. Attendance during the week was usually minimal in both theaters, even during first-run movies and only marginally better on weekends for blockbuster first-run movies. The owner did his best to get the newest movies here ASAP. During the week, each theater might have as low as one or two customers, but seldom more then a dozen at best. Thus, I do not believe a private owner can support a fulltime theater with staff and break even, much less provide a profit+. Thus my proposal that the other option mentioned by Ms. Fiest be considered: a city-run theater. And only on Weekends. Perhaps Friday night and Saturday and Sunday with matinees for the children and their families. Page, as I mentioned in my previous letter, is doing that at the present time. It is operating only on Saturday and Sunday during the summer months, due to the difficulty of getting audiences in small venues during the winter and school months. Matinees are shown some weekends Saturday or Sunday if it is a movie of particular interest to children,. This last weekends showing of the animated movie, Epic is an example, with a matinee on Sunday only. The city of Page was able to use its former small, onescreen movie theater that had been closed in the 50s at the advent of television, still a factor, and reopened and remodeled in he 60s, unlike our small Rex Theater that was formerly in the north addition to the Rudolf Hotel. It is unlikely the old Rex is still available inside the building. And the seats have been removed and sold at Theaters 1 and 2. One screen only would be needed even here in Valley City. Duane Dows of Page, who is with the Page Community Club (something Valley City might want to try establishing since the Chamber here does not normally get involved in such enterprises), told me he had approached the Ford Dealer about obtaining seats for their theater, but was told they had already been salvaged, if bad, or sold. Thus that is not an option here now.
The Page Community Club initially felt they would have to get loans from local banks for the new digital equipment to allow running first-run movies or any movies at all in the near future due to the changeover to digital by the studios. Instead, they found there was enough interest in the theater that they were able to get pledges from enough people in the area, including farmers, to purchase the equipment! Those who could not give a sufficient amount up-front can make good their pledges over a fiveyear period, much like our college 500 Club. The operation of the theater, on weekends only, is all volunteer. Five local area men have learned to run the new digital projector and can substitute for each other as needed. The concession stand also is run by volunteers. Attendance, of course, varies considerably depending on the movies. Even the process of movie selection is some-
thing that needs to be learned in smaller communities. Valley City is still large enough that more diversity could probably be allowed than in a small community like Page. Thus, overhead costs, as there would be in a commercially run movie theater, are almost nonexistent in Page. If the Page Community Club breaks even they feel they have succeeded. This would not be the case for a privately owned theater where the total support of the citizens would be needed and a full staff committed to a seven-day operation. (Note: I have personally attended few completely free events or activities here in Valley City where I could say it was fully supported. The EBC Christmas show at the college is a notable exception.) I was able to confirm through Duane that the cost for
