keep active in these cold winter
months.
Send your tips to me at sharonbuhr@catholichealth.net or phone
me at 845-6456. If were not in,
please feel free to leave your tip
with your name and phone number on the answering machine.
It might be a tip like standing
on one foot while you brush your
teeth to develop balance (recognizing our risk of falling on the
ice in winter). Or doing some
commercial jogging, which means
standing up during the commercials when you watch TV and do
walking or jogging, or some other
type of exercise.
One of our ON THE MOVE
partners has taken to heart the
advice to build exercise into your
day. LeAnn Wiest walks to work
every day and doesnt let the cold
weather stop her. LeAnn states
that I try to stay healthy and I

Her goal is to walk 10,000 steps
each day and she has measured
that by wearing a pedometer.

VCSU sets
spring
semester
enrollment
alley City State University has released

its final student enrollment figures for Spring
Semester 2014, and those
figures indicate that VCSU
has set records for both
headcount and FTE (fulltime equivalent), eclipsing
all previous marks since the
university switched to a semester system in 199293.
VCSU numbers for
Spring 2014 show a total
headcount of 1,341 students, an increase of 54 over
last years spring enrollment
of 1,287. The 2014 figures
include 1,192 undergraduate students, along with 149
graduate students in VCSUs
online Master of Education
(M.Ed.) program.
The FTE figure for Spring
2014 is 956, an increase of
35 over last springs mark
of 921.
The increase seen in
VCSUs Spring Semester
2014 enrollment is part of a
strong growth trend at Valley City State. Since 2009,
VCSUs spring headcount
numbers have grown from
959 to 1,341, a 40 percent
increase. Similarly, FTE
over the same period has
increased from 767 to 956, a
25 percent increase.
Were excited to announce this all-time record
spring enrollment as well
as the continuation of our
recent significant campus
growth, said VCSU President Steven W. Shirley. The
numbers reflect the quality
and variety of our academic
offerings, and theyre an
important indicator of the
overall teaching and learning environment here at
Valley City State.

Jimmies finished their 2013 season with an overall record
of 30-11, while the Comets finished the 2013 season with a
34-9-1 overall record.

ANNOUNCING
Lindgren
Student athletes include incoming freshman

Valley City State University head football
coach Dennis McCulloch announces the
addition of 22 student-athletes who have
signed letters of intent to attend VCSU and
play football for the Vikings this fall.
We are extremely excited about this
group of incoming student-athletes,
said McCulloch. We have a good mix of
playmakers on both offense and defense
joining our program. These young men
have proven themselves at the high school
level, and were excited to see them excel at
the collegiate level over the next four years,
both in the classroom and on the field.
The list of incoming freshmen includes
10 standout student-athletes from North
Dakota, six from Minnesota, one from
South Dakota, three from Colorado, and
one from Alaska. The Vikings have also
announced the addition of transfer Beau
Winchester from Mililani, Hawaii.
The incoming group joins five transfers
who are already on campus and will make
up the bulk of this years recruiting class.
VCSU coaches are still out recruiting to
round out the 2014 class.
We are looking to add some more qual-
ity young men to this list in the coming

weeks, McCulloch said. Our 2014 class
is looking very strong. Please check our
website for updates in recruiting.
Valley City native Dustin Lindgren
signed his Letter of Intent last week to attend VCSU. The fullback excelled for the
Hi-Liners last season, racking up 926 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He played
for VCHS head coach Scott Roehrich, who
is a VCSU football alum.
Twin brothers Demetrius and Darius
Graves, from Colorado Springs, Colo., are
committed to VCSU after finishing their
careers at Harrison High School where
they were coached by VCSU alum Al Melo.
Austin Richter, a defensive back from
Walker, Minn., also has a VCSU connection as his father Pat played at VCSU.
For more information on each incoming
student-athlete and future recruits, visit
the VCSU football page at vikings.vcsu.edu
Under the direction of coach McCulloch, VCSU went 5-5 last season and
earned a share of the North Star Athletic
Association title with a 3-1 conference

Valley City State University head coach Dennis McCulloch is pleased to announce Valley
City native Dustin Lindgren has signed a Letter
of Intent to attend VCSU and play football for
the Vikings this fall.
Lindgren is currently a senior at Valley City
High School. He plans to major in athletic
training while at VCSU.
A 5-foot-8 fullback, Lindgren helped the
Hi-Liners to a 4-5 record last season. He carried
the ball 138 times for 926 yards (6.7 ypc) and
nine touchdowns. Lindgren also had five receptions for 69 yards and one score.
Dustin will be a great addition to our program, said McCulloch. He is a tough young
man who works extremely hard in the weight
room. We look forward to him joining the
Viking football family.
Lindgren was named 1st Team All Region
and 2nd Team All State following his senior
season. He also received team awards during his
high school career for Most Valuable Defensive
Lineman (2011), Most Valuable Offensive Back
(2013) and Weight-Lifting Award (2012, 2013).
Lindgren is the son of Jason and Misty Lindgren.

When did it all start?

here are various theories on the origin of
Valentine's Day, but
the most popular dates back
to the time of the Roman
Empire during the reign
of Claudius II, 270 A.D.
Claudius didn't want men
to marry during wartime
because he believed single
men made better soldiers.
Bishop Valentine went
against his wishes and performed secret wedding ceremonies. For this, Valentine
was jailed and then executed by order of the Emperor
on Feb. 14. While in jail,
he wrote a love note to the
jailor's daughter, signing
it, "From your Valentine."

Apostle contributed a portion.

In studying the Creed we see it is
divided it into three articles making
the clear confession that God is Triune.
The first part or article is about God the
Father, the second about Jesus Christ the
Son of God, and the third is about the
Holy Spirit.
The reality is that everyone has a
creed. Some have never taken the time
to have it written out. We have the great
benefit of having our creed, not as a
newly written document, but as a well
considered ancient confession. Because
of this we can carefully weigh what we
are confessing in the creed with what
God has revealed to us in His Word.
This makes the Creed useful to us in
fighting error and giving comfort to
each one of us.
This is true in our study of the 1st Article. The 1st Article especially speaks of
God the Father as Creator. He is the one
who provides to us and preserves for us
the physical and tangible gifts that we
enjoy. Not to lessen anyones personal
struggle but in our country today we are

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

This is the beginning of the Apostles Creed which is a precise summary
of the basic message of the Scriptures.
The Apostles Creed is
literally centuries old.
What this means is that
this brief and precise
summary of the truths
of Scripture has been
handed done for many
generations. This brings

Dennis Norby
says, Beloved, although
I was very eager to write
to you about our common salvation, I
found it necessary to write appealing
to you to contend for the faith that was
once for all delivered to the saints.
It is no easy task to pass on the
Christian faith in todays world. Many
mock religion or consider it harmful to
people progressing and developing. But
I am thankful for generations of pastors,
teachers, and parents that taught others
to cling to the truths of the Scriptures.
To do this many used the Apostles
Creed, a confession of faith to teach
what the Scripture teaches. This creed is
called, the Apostles Creed, because it
contains the teachings of the
Apostles. We have no evidence for this, but, for many
years it was taught that the
Apostles Creed was made of

ENDERLIN IS PROUD OF HER MANY
CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS
Although Enderlin was not heard of
until the fall of 1892, the few residents
of the then frontier town recognized the
need of religious services and the Enderlin
Christian Association was formed and the
first religious service held in the Enderlin
State Bank. The first minister to address an
Enderlin audience was Rev. Wood. In 1894
Rev. Bell came and organized a Methodist
Episcopal church, which was the first regular church organization established. Soon
thereafter they built their first church,
which served their needs well until they
built their present magnificent edifice of
concrete blocks at a cost of about $20,000.
The Methodist church has had several
talented divines as its pastor, not the least
of whom, by any means, is the present
incumbent, Rev. W. J. Walker. At the late
meeting of the conference this gentleman
accepted a unanimous invitation from
the members to take the pastorate for the
second time.
The Presbyterians have a strong organization here and are comfortably housed in
their own
church at
the corner
of Bluff
street and
Fourth Avenue. Rev.
Axel Rasmussen, the
pastor, has
been here
for several
years and
is doing his
full share
towards the
Rev. Th. K. Gaustad
spiritual
welfare of the community. As Master of a
big troupe of Boy Scouts, Rev. Rasmussen
is greatly beloved by the boys.
The Catholics have a splendid church
edifice under the spiritual guidance of
Father Long. Although the Father has but
lately come among us and supplants a
most popular Priest, Father McDonald, to
whose untiring effort the erection of the
church was principally due, the new priest
is making many warm friends among his
parishioners and others as well.
The Norwegian Lutherans have a fine
church on Fourth Avenue presided over
by Rev. Th. K. Gaustad, who has spent ten
busy years of his life here showing his congregations the way of the better life. In addition to being pastor of East St. Olaf, our
city church, Rev. Gaustad is also in charge
of West St. Olaf and St. Pauli congregations; and as he holds services in all these

Tom Dickinson in the 29 January issue
of Rolling Stone listed 27 Shocking Numbers That Reveal The True State Of The
Union following President Obamas State
of the Union address. Here are just a few to
keep your mind in the game:
*New income generated since 2009
that has gone to the top One Percent: 95
percent.
*Financial wealth controlled by the
bottom 60 percent of all Americans: 2.3
percent.
*What the minimum wage would be
if it had kept pace with gains in worker
productivity since 1968: $21.72.
*Number of U.S. workers laboring at or
below minimum wage: 3.6 million, equivalent to the population of Los Angeles.
*Taxpayer subsidies to the fast food
industry, paid out as safety-net benefits
to McWorkers earning poverty wage: $7
billion.
*U.S. defense spending as in 2012: $682
billion.
*Amount spent by nearest rival China
for defense in 2012: $166 billion
*Total U.S. citizens incarcerated, or on
probation and parole: 7.1 million.
*Number of people who cant vote because of felony convictions: 5.9 million.
*Number of jobs the U.S. is still down
from employment peak in 2008: 1.69 million.
Over a hundred years ago Henry Ford
started to pay his workers $5 for an eight
hour day, the equivalent of $116.48 a day
when adjusted for inflation. So actually
Ford was paying his workers about $15
an hour. During his State of the Union
Obama called for increasing the minimum
wage to $10.10 an hour from $7.25. That
would still be not even close to what it
should be.

Oliver Twist: Please sir, I

want some more
In a graphic novel about poverty in
Feb. 16, 1959 - Fidel Castro becomes Premier of Cuba
19th Century England the author Charles

Dickens has the very young Oliver Twist,
a resident of an English workhouse for
children, ask for more porridge: Please
sir, I want some more. The staff and the
other children present are shocked by his
request. Now, in our unequal world of the
21st Century, we have 85 billionaires in
the world who have more cash and assets
than 3.5 billion people at the bottom of
the financial ladder, demanding the same
treatment as Oliver--but with a different
tone: I wantand needsome more.
For those who dont believe billionaires
are psychotic, I suggest you read an article
by Sam Polk in the New York Times Sunday Review titled For the Love of Money.
Polk made millions as a trader and derivatives salesman during an eight-year tour
on Wall Street. He reveals: But in the
end, it was actually my absurdly wealthy
bosses who helped me see the limitations
of unlimited wealth....I heard the fury in
their voices at the mention of higher taxes.
These traders despised anything or anyone
that threatened their bonuses. Ever see
what a drug addict is like when hes used
up his junk? Hell do anythingwalk 20
miles in the snow, rob a grandmato get a
fix. Wall Street was like that. In the months
before bonuses were handed out, the trading floor started to feel like a neighborhood in The Wire when the heroin runs
out.
There are a couple of stanzas in the
poem Organized Crime by Ethan Miller
and Kate Boverman that explain our present situation better than a Nobel Prize
economist:

head throbs
Theyre making a profit by robbing you
blind
They say its just business, its organized

Well the tide of prosperity lifts every

crime.

Energy infrastructure lag

hurting North Dakota
Authorities are tying the death of a

woman on the Standing Rock Indian
Reservation in the Dakotas to a propane crisis there, reported the Associated
Press last week.
The heart breaking story made national
headlines, and inspired some point-scoring
in political circles as Chad Oban, executive
director for North Dakota Democrats tried
to twist the story into an attack on North
Dakotas Republican-dominated state government. Unacceptable! he posted on his
Twitter account. While the money piles
up in Bismarck...a person freezes to death.
It may be premature to blame the
womans death on the propane shortage
- we dont know if she even tried to buy
more fuel before dying - and Obans leap
straight into fabricating an election year
talking point is downright nauseating, but
the situation illustrates a very real crunch
in energy infrastructure that is, without a
doubt, hurting people.
During a recent meeting with Gov.
Mark Dayton, some Minnesota state officials pointed to oil-by-rail shipments
as contributing to the propane shortage.
America does not have a propane shortage
- production has soared of late, increasing
more than 15% in the last year - and while
exports of propane have increased, thats
not the problem.
The problem is that weve become
perhaps a bit too dependent on our ability
to transport the gas to where its needed
when its needed. But with infrastructure
jam pack full of oil shipments, and with
demand for propane spiking this winter,
supply lines broke down.
And propane shipments arent the only
problem.
Amtrak has resorted to buses to get
around packed rail lines. Basin Electric
Power Cooperative reported it has trucks
making up to 250 trips a day to transport
coal from mines near Hazen that cant
be shipped by rail. Dave Berg, CEO of
American Crystal Sugar, told the Associated Press that rail delays in North Dakota
and Minnesota are costing his company
millions of dollars.
Explosive train derailments near Casselton and in Canada have contributed to
concerns over heavy rail

traffic driven by increased
oil production. According
to the American Association of Railroads, the U.S.
rail traffic for 2013 saw
record intermodal growth,
By Rob
particularly in the area of
oil shipments. Shipments of Port
petroleum and petroleumrelated products were up 167,868 carloads
or 31.1 percent in 2013, according to the
group.
But even as its clear that we desperately
need more energy infrastructure, politics
and misguided government policy are
making that infrastructure difficult to
build.
Im not just talking about the Keystone
XL pipeline, though thats a major part of
the problem.
In the last couple of months two major
pipeline projects - the Dakota Express
from Koch Pipeline Co. and the Bakken
Crude Express from ONEOK Partners each of which would have provided twice
the capacity to Bakken oil producers that
Keystone would, have been canceled due
to an inability to find producers willing to
commit to shipments.

Sues Comments: When this article
was written in 1915, the Catholic
Church was still on Third Ave. before
it was moved across to its current
home on Bluff Street. The Presbyterian Church was on the corner where
Trinity Lutheran now sits and was
later sold to the St. Lukes Lutheran
congregation before it was removed
to make way for Trinity. The Zion
Lutheran congregation later built a

church on the corner of Center Street
and Coulee Road. The first Methodist Church was sold to the Swedish
Mission congregation and moved
to the Cleveland Street site so the
Methodists could build the block
church which is referenced above and
still serves the congregation as well
as the Hope AFLC congregation now.

Why are these projects getting canceled? Because with a
shale oil boom flooding domestic markets with American
oil, producers are afraid to commit to contract to ship via
pipeline. Rail and truck, as problematic as those alternatives are, offer more flexibility.
What would help Americas domestic oil market is a lift
of the Carter-era ban on exporting crude oil. That would
open up new markets for North Dakota oil, and make the
pipeline option more attractive to producers. Which, in
turn, would take a heavy burden off of Americas rails and
other infrastructure.
Not only that, but ending the oil export ban (and a
similar ban on exporting natural gas) would lift a cap
on the economic gains spurred by domestic oil and gas
production, which have represented one of the few bright
spots in our national economy over the last several years.
And lifting the ban on exporting gas, by the way, would go
a long way toward lifting prices which, in turn, would spur
free market solutions to that flaring problem in western
North Dakota.
Whats required, as is usually the case, is for government
to get out of the way.

contributed to significant whitetail and mule deer populations declines.

North Dakota went from 149,500 deer licenses in 2008,
to 59,500 in 2013. Thats 90,000 fewer deer licenses over a
period of just five years.
Even during the deer population peak, Game and Fish
couldnt provide enough buck licenses for everyone who
wanted one. But whitetail doe licenses were readily available, and pretty much any one of the 100,000 or so potential deer hunters in North Dakota could have received one
or more doe licenses in a unit fairly close to home.
In 2013, though, more than 25,000 people who applied for the deer gun license lottery did not receive a gun
license of any kind.
That level of reduction in opportunity is generating a lot
of concern throughout the state. The deer management
meetings are designed to address where weve been, where
we are, and what the future might hold.
Part of the discussion at these meetings will involve
long-term deer population prospects, and Game and
Fish representatives will also look at possible options for
changes to the way licenses are distributed to provide
more hunting opportunity even if the deer population

or the last decade or so, North Dakota has had

around 100,000 active deer hunters, plus or minus a
few thousand in any given year.
All of us should be interested in the upcoming series of
deer management meetings the North Dakota Game and
Fish Department has scheduled around the state during
the last two weeks of February.
Anyone who hunts deer has probably noticed a declining deer population over the last half-dozen years, and
some of that was by design. Most people who had any sort
of interest in deer felt the statewide whitetail population
was too high in the mid-2000s. Game and Fish aggressively issued whitetail doe licenses in an effort to bring
deer numbers down a bit
Given a string of relatively mild winters and a stable
habitat base, the outcome was basically neutral. The
whitetail population didnt come down much, but at least
it didnt go up much, either.
That all started to change in 2008, when Game and Fish
allocated a record number of deer gun licenses at nearly
150,000. A major snowstorm hit the western half of the
state just prior to opening day of deer season in early November, and that was just the start of a long and difficult
winter for wildlife across the state.
Two years later, the winter of 2010-11 was even worse.
And last year winter weather extended well into April.
