A mother and child run through the rain on Wednesday in Valley City. Rain -- or lack of it -- often is the topic of farmers and the agricultural industry as a whole. We asked some people in the know about upcoming weather patterns and dusted off some ancient fables to help everyone plan better for spring and early summer in our area.

Five months to go for dealership

Were excited, said Stout-Ross Ford general manager Nathan Kvilvang. What Kvilvang and the rest of the Stout-Ross Ford team are happy about is the upcoming move to their new location on Winter Show Road in Valley City. Right now we think the new dealership will be ready in mid-September, Kvilvang said. Its a great opportunity for us for growth and expansion and were all excited. Accordng to Kvilvang, everything will be getting bigger -- the showrooms, the inventory, the service areas and the number of people working for the dealership. Were going to open five quick lanes, Kvilvang said. Its going to be for quick service items like oil changes or new tires, things that can be done quickly. Plus, it will be for all makes and models. Well still have full service for the cars we sell too. Its just one of the new things were going to be able to offer. While Stout-Ross offers everything from sales, service, a parts department, loaner cars and even rents cars now, everything will be bigger in the new location. Were going to have to start hiring new service personnel for the quick lanes and expanding our numbers in other areas, Kvilvang said. Plus, when we move, Miller Motors will be moving to our current location. Its going to make things better for all our customers and allow all our lines to expand. It seems everything is coming up big for Ford these days. New vehicles, improved vehicles and increased sales have led to big things for the automaker and now, big things for the local dealership.

divisiveness and poor use of natural resources. Another result, many believe, is that the happiness index around the world has gone down. Why? Many contend that cultures have become consumer orientated, and desires have increased to the point that they can never be adequately fulfilled. Thus the question: Is the process of globalization sustainable? For some, the simple answer is this: Infinite growth on a finite planet is not possible. The Economics of Happiness offers not only a big-picture analysis of globalization, but a powerful message of hope for the future, organizers say. The thinkers and activists that were interviewed for the film come from every continent, and represent the interests of the great majority of people on the planet today, a press release said. The films message: we need to localize economic activity. Discussion will follow the showings, which are free and open to the public. For more information call 845-7321. -- RB

ow does a child buying an ice cream cone in Taiwan relate to the price of gas in the U.S.? The Economics of Happiness is a documentary film that evaluates the process of globalization and questions whether continued development of a global culture and economy is sustainable. The film will be shown on Wednesday, April 30, in the Skoal Room of the VCSU Student Center and again Thursday, May 1, at the Barnes County Museum in downtown Valley City. Both showings are at 7 p.m. The film, produced by the International Society for Ecology and Culture, makes the case that globalization has led to an increase of power in big business, power that used to reside in localized economies around the world. The momentous shift that occurred during the past 40 years from self-contained local cultures to large, globalized industrial economic systems came at a price, critics say. In the process, Westernized practices spread and dominated, creating problems of pollution, unemployment,

Annual Crop Walk fundraiser to aid local, global anti-hunger initiatives

lthough the state of North Dakota currently is experiencing good economic times, not everyone is sharing in the prosperity. By Sharon In 2010, one in 11 BUHR North Dakotans, 40 percent of whom are children, sought access to food pantries. Locally, the Barnes County Food Pantry reports that from 30 to 50 individuals or families request a food basket each month. Simply put, poor nutrition leads to poor health. If families cannot afford enough food the children especially

(as well as the adults) run the risk of serious health problems including malnutrition and obesity, as well as the inability to concentrate in school and learn. We recognize that most of the worlds hungry people live in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Out of the 7 billion people in the world almost 1 billion are classified as hungry earning under $1 a day. These people live on marginal lands prone to natural disasters like drought or flood. A number live in shanty towns

ast week came news of yet another delay in the Obama administrations interminable regulatory dithering on the Keystone XL pipeline project. By Rob This latest punt will, PORT conveniently, take the decision date for the pipeline beyond the 2014 midterm elections. Republicans were quick to point to the news as yet more evidence of President Obama abusing his executive powers for political ends. Democrats suggested the President was looking to rally his progressive base in advance of what is shaping up to be a rough election cycle for the left. Both of these scenarios have elements of the truth in them, but here in North Dakota the impact of the Obama administrations endless regulatory delays for Keystone may be much more palpable, and not in a positive way for the states Democrats. Consider this unlikely reality: The race for the next Commissioner of Agriculture between Republican incumbent Doug Goehring and Democrat challenger Ryan Taylor is quickly shaping up to be the hottest race in the state. Who wouldve thunk it? Thats because the office those two gentlemen are competing for, one that comes with a seat on the states Industrial Commission which oversees oil development, is at the nexus of what will be the most important political debate of 2014: Namely, North Dakotas booming oil production and its impact on agriculture. Already we can feel the tremors of the debate. The sugar beet industry cant move its product for want of access to rail cars, a complaint shared by grain elevators in the region. With the spring planting season nearly upon us, there are questions about whether or not growers will be able to get timely shipments of fertilizer. This winter saw a propane shortage that was exacerbated by a chronic inability to move propane by rail. Democrats are hoping to capitalize on these understandable frustrations by accusing Republicans of allowing oil development in the western part of the state to have grown too far and too fast. You cant unleash all that oil and then wonder why the train tracks are full of oil

tankers and you cant get grain on from the elevators in North Dakota and get that product to market, Taylor said while announcing his campaign last month, signaling his intent to make oil development a wedge issue with ag interests. I will not be a rubber stamp for out-of-state oil barons. Ill stand up for North Dakota. This is a sound strategy for Democrats, who are trying to convince Republican voters in a state consistently ranked the best-run and most content in the nation to vote for someone else for a change. These are real concerns, posing real problems for what is historically North Dakotas top industry. But President Obama just threw that strategy a curve ball. Because while Democrats can accuse Republicans of allowing too much oil development too soon, Republicans can point to our nations top Democrats incessant sandbagging of energy infrastructure that would have a direct impact on North Dakota. Thats no doubt why Senator Heidi Heitkamp rushed to call President Obamas latest delay ridiculous. It is ridiculous, and the further North Dakota liberals can run from it the better for them. The Keystone Pipeline itself could take as much as 100,000 barrels per day off of North Dakota roads and rails, a little more than 10 percent of the states current output. Thats significant, but lets not pretend as though the Obama administrations pipeline obstinance is only having an impact on the Keystone project. The Sandpiper Pipeline, which would run from Tioga, N.D., all the way to Superior, Wisc., could take as much as 250,000 barrels per day off of North Dakota roads and rails, more than 25 percent of the states current oil output. Yet, the Sandpiper line is facing heavy opposition from anti-pipeline, anti-oil activists who want it stopped. The dilemma North Dakota Democrats face is how to credibly blame Republicans for infrastructure congestion caused by oil development while sharing a partisan affiliation with a President who is not just blocking a pipeline with a direct impact on the states transportation situation, but emboldening activists across the country to attack similar projects. Thats going to be a tough sell.

OPINION: THE GADFLY

A Choice: Genuflecting before the Five Pimps of the Plutocracy Or Pitchforks

t must have been most pleasing for the five Supreme Court free market pimps for the American oligarchy to celebrate two events in Nevada. At the renowned Chicken Ranch whorehouse, gentlemen came to satisfy their free market desires, while in Las Vegas Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire gambling house owner, was busy choosing the next political whores of the United States at another national free market, now called the Adelson Primary. At both sites candidates were preening, showing a leg-or-more and murmuring sweet somethings in the ears of the buyer, enticing him By Ed RAYMOND with their best goods on the runways of plutocracy. The conservatives on the Supreme Court with their Citizens United and McCutcheon decisions made it possible for the 80-year old Adelson to flash his $40 billion fortune before four invited governor-puppets for the Washington slave market. Would the winner of his millions of campaign cash be John Kasich of Ohio, destroyer of unions and creator of mile-long black voting lines? Would it be Scott Walker of Wisconsin, destroyer of collective bargaining and Wisconsin K-16 education? Would it be Chris Christie of New Jersey, the creator of closed bridge approaches to important places? Would it be Jeb Bush, the should have been and the white sheep in the Bush Dynasty? Stay tuned for the ching-ching of Adelsons cash registers. After all, he spent only $150 million on Newt Gingrich and other Republican sycophants in 2012.

Six soloists preferred new violins and the rest said there was little difference. Because the Strads have always had the superior tonal reputation, such blind tests have been supervised for many years. New violins have always won out. So why do collectors pay as much as $16 million for a Strad when they have been proven to be inferior to modern violins? A European music auction house is in the process of selling a Strad viola for a minimum bid of $45 million. Is a person who buys a viola for $45 million a candidate for a psychopathic study? I think so. Particularly when the viola is probably not up to 21st Century standards. When One Percenter Leona Helmsley Said, Only The Little People Pay Taxes...... The five pimps, protecting the interests of their One Percent plutocratic patrons, have made sure that taxes on the rich remain low, elusive or uncollectible. The latest tax scam perpetrated by the wealthy is called the cash-rich-split-off.

Remember, I warned you, its much worse than Thimblerig but it saved two billionaires $675 million, tax money that could have been used to educate our young and maintain roads and bridges. The Five Pimps Of The Oligarchy Race The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Bible Thumpers believe that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will trample across Gods earth announcing the Last Judgment. Depending upon which one of the 721 translations of the Bible you want to believe, the four horses and their riders will bring a divine apocalypse to sinners. The guy on the white horse may represent Jesus Christ carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows conquering the sinners of the world. Sometimes the white horse and rider is called Conquest. Sometimes he is known as Pestilence, spreading an infectious plague across the earth. Take your choice. The next horse is a bloody red ridden by an equally bloody warrior with sword held high, prophesying that much blood is going to be spilled. The third horse is all black (The symbol of wealth in Biblical days because only the rich could afford expensive black dye!), ridden by a horseman complaining that barley and wheat is ten times the normal price. The rich eat wheat and the poor eat the less nutritious barley if they can afford to buy it. The rider also carries scales for weighing grain. Biblical scholars say the black horse predicts future famines. OK. Others say it represents capitalism! GADFLY: 14

OPINION: LETTER TO THE EDITOR Help others, attend Crop Walk for Hunger

When Does Wealth Become Excess? Since the 2007 Bush economic disaster, the One Percent has gained 95 percent of our economys gains. We hear constantly from Republicans that One Percenters are the creators and the 47 percent at the bottom are the takers. Where are all the jobs created by the One Percent? Do they know how to create anything? Seven years since the Great Recession we still have fewer jobs than in 2008. The problem is we have 13 million more working-age adults now. Unemployment among 18-29 year-olds is at 11.4 percent, almost double the national rate. The One Percent has still not learned a lesson from Econ 101. In order to make money they must have middle class consumers. Why build factories and hire employees to build stuff for bankrupt consumers? So the One Percent buys $100 million homes, collects $142 million paintings and $45 million violas, flies $85 million jet airplanes, and continues the corruption of college sports by making it possible for football and basketball coaches to be paid millions, while full professors earn about five percent of what the Pitinos and the Sabans earn. University presidents, much lower than coaches on the pay scale, have been turned into lap dogs for the rich and fundraisers instead of educators. This is one example of how wealth corrupts.

Farmers hoping to avoid drought, experts say spring should be normal

an inch of rain, while right next to it there may not be any precipitation at all. Meanwhile, farmers are beginning to get into the fields. I had a couple of farmers start planting [Monday], Edland said. The good news is that even if we had a good frost, the spring wheat should still germinate and get through it. While Edland and many people believe winter is done -- and Makowski confirms their belief -- there are still some people who look to tried and true ways of figuring out Mother Nature. According to the Farmers Almanac, Barnes County and Eastern North Dakota can expect warmer temperatures next week with May about average in temperature, but almost half an inch shy of the normal rainfall amount. Of course, there are other folklore ways to tell the weather. If you are wanting a nice day, check the dew on the morning grass: When the dew is on the grass Rain will never come to pass. When grass is dry at morning light, Look for rain before the night. Or, you could try looking at tails in the field. Long-time farmers believe if tails are pointing west, weather is at its best. Tails pointing east, Weather is least. There is a long-held belief that fair weather is on its way if summer fog is experienced. Chickens, especially roosters, can also let you know how the day will be. If the rooster crows on going to bed, you may rise with a watery head. Of course, neither Edland nor WEATHER: 9 A Valley City State University student walks through the rain falling on Wednesday at the college. While farmers are worrying about drought, experts say the spring and early summer should be normal for precipitation.

rought. Its a big concern for everyone, but a bigger worry for area farmers. Ive talked with several farmers and the biggest thing they worry about is the drought in California and Texas, said Gary Edland, agronomy manager at Dakota Plains Co-op in Valley City. They worry about that kind of drought moving here. Fortunately, there is nothing to suggest a drought is on its way, according to Jeff Makowski, a meteorologist at the National Weather Services Grand Forks office. There appears to be no indicators of abnormally dry or abnormally wet conditions through spring an into early summer, Makowski said. In fact, everything appears normal. Thats not to say theres anything normal about weather. In April, the area saw 19 inches of snow, below-zero temperatures and high winds in the same week as 70-degree temperatures and area folks wearing shorts. Thats typical of North Dakota spring weather, Makowski said. In fact, we have a chance for snow in the second of the two weather systems expected this week. Makowski said the system that moved through North Dakota on Wednesday and the one expected on Sunday are normal spring systems. Both will bring widespread rain to a majority of the state, the meteorologist said. In fact, the second one has a chance to bring some snow to the state in some areas. As the spring advances and summer hits, were going to see more isolated thunderstorms where one area may see more than

WEATHER: from 8 Makowski use farm animals or dew to predict the weather. Ive been doing this a long time, Edland said. There are still people in western North Dakota who will cut an onion and put it in a cup to predict how much rain theyre going to get. We dont sell almanacs though. As for Makowski, he wouldnt even acknowledge the question. There is nothing -- nothing -- to indicate abnormally dry or abnormally wet conditions this spring, he said. Nothing in what the National Weather Service uses shows anything other than a normal spring and early summer. Straight from the horses mouth -- well, sort of.

Looking at dreams and disease

Several researchers claim dreams can reveal information about our state of health. They believe that the themes that come up in dreams, fantasies and free play can reveal the presence of a serious undiagnosed physical disorder, sometimes years before symptoms appear. Such notions are not new. Dream-diagnosis was widely practiced in ancient times. The first known hospitals in the history of western civilization were the Asclepion which also served as holy temples dedicated to the worship of Asclepius, the god of health and healing. There were approximately 320 Asklepion in ancient Greece. At that time, disease was considered to be the result of multiple social, environmental, psychological, spiritual, emotional and physical factorsan idea that is being taken seriously again today. Balancing and harmonizing those factors was seen as a req u i r e m e nt By Dennis for good STILLINGS health. The Asklepion was a pleasant environment, giving the patient access to music and theatre, dietary changes, hydrotherapy, and an early form of psychotherapy. Once it was seen that the patient was ready, he or she would enter the temple to pray and sleep. The patient would then report any dreams to the physician who, on the basis of the dream content, would offer the patient a program for healing. The dream images reflecting ones state of health are often complex and difficult to interpret. This difficulty is probably the reason why diagnosis by way of dreams has not been developed more fully. Dreams are products of nature, the understanding of which, like the understanding of nature, requires long and careful observation. Nevertheless, cases occur in which the images of disease are not difficult to read. Dr. Bernard Siegel, author of the bestselling book, Love, Medicine and Miracles (1990), mentions a case in which a woman saw, in a dream, a sign painted on her head saying cancer. It turned out that she had a brain tumor. The brain tumor of a young child showed up in her drawings as an ice cream cone with chocolate syrup on top. The syrup was in the same pattern as her tumor when it appeared on a CT-scan. In noting these phenomena, Dr. Siegel makes reference to a paper published almost 80 years ago in The British Medical Journal. The paper, Comments upon a Case of Periventricular Epilepsy, discusses a correct diagnosis of the case by the use of dream material alone. The interpretation of the dream and the resulting diagnosis were made by Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), the famous Swiss psychiatrist. The case was written up in 1935 by T. M. Davie, DREAMS: 16

Jesus is your BFF

o you have any friends that you have not seen or talked to for a long time? People sometimes have wonderful relationships with others and even though they might not have had contact for a while, when they finally do get back together, it is like they never were apart. There can be an easy transition in which the relationship By the Rev. is picked up right where it had been left when the Dennis NORBY last meeting had happened. A couple of months ago, I traveled to Arizona for some meetings but ended up being in an area where an old friend of mine has been living. We had sort of lost contact with each other for a number of years but had reconnected on Facebook. We made arrangements to get together one day and it occurred to me that I had not seen him in almost 20 years. We were really just kids then and now both of us were adults and had made major decisions about our lives and careers. Did I really know this guy? It was nice to catch up on what had occurred during the intervening years and to hear of what was going on his life lately. I heard some sad news and also good news. It was not one of those situations in which we just picked up things where they had been before. But dont misunderstand, it was good to see him and catch up. In the Gospel of John we have the amazing account of Jesus been crucified, dead and buried. Then on the third day Jesus rose again from the dead. This is the reason for all the joy and excitement of Easter. During the 40 days before he ascended into heaven he revealed Himself to people on a number of occasions. During these events Jesus Christ was showing Himself to be the same man whom the disciples had known before. It was not a long length of time that had made the disciples perhaps wonder about what their relationship with Jesus was going to be like, but the major events that had occurred. Jesus was arrested and the disciples had all fled. Peter had denied knowing the Lord three times. Jesus has been crucified but now had shown Himself to be the full and perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. So, in each of the accounts of Jesus appearing to people, we see Jesus reassuring them that it truly is Him. That the Crucified One is the Risen One. That the gracious Savior was going to continue to care for them and love them. In that sense, the relationship was picked up right where it had been. In reality, the Lord had never stopped loving them and caring for them. In Johns Gospel, one event seems to point to this tender care to reassure the disciples that Jesus is still the same Jesus they knew. In chapter 21 Peter and the others go fishing and catch nothing. Jesus miraculously provided a wonderful catch of fish. He had done this when He first called some of them in Luke 5:1-11. This same Jesus who had called them to follow Him was now reassuring them of who He was and His call to follow Him was still there. Much has happened but Christ shows Himself to be a loving Savior and friend. In John 21:12 it says, Jesus said to them, Come and have breakfast. Now none of the disciples dared ask him, Who are you? They knew it was the Lord. It really was Jesus. It really was their friend. Our Savior Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever and He continues to show Himself to be a friend of sinners over and over and over again.

GADFLY: From 7 The last horse in the quad is the Pale Horse ridden by ashen Death carrying the big scythe. Greeks describe the horse as being yellowish-green, or having the sickly pallor of a corpse. When Death trots by on the Pale Horse, is that when the Rapture begins? My inquiring mind wants to know. Are The Five Supreme Court Pimps Outrunning The Four Horses Of The Bible? Former President Jimmy Carter, a good Baptist and Sunday School teacher, said a couple of weeks ago that there are 16,000 verses in the Bible that can be used to attack or defend any position taken on earth. So the Book of Revelation may be meaningful to many, but I think what the five conservative pimps on the Supreme Court are doing to our democracy will bring the death knell to representative government. Money equals speech? Corporations are people? Money is not corrupting!!? The Chamber of Commerce is more important than Main Street? Health care is a privilege, not a right? Labor unions are bad; free markets good? Workers are parasites; billionaires creators? Pensions bad; 401Ks good? Only the little people pay taxes? The fascist list goes on and on. The pimps have granted plutocrats money and power to govern us. The pimps have made it possible for billionaire individuals and corporations to pay no federal taxes by keeping huge profits off-shore on tiny islands. The pimps have made it possible for billionaires like Warren Buffett and hedge fund managers to pay taxes at rates one-half of their secretaries. The pimps have made it possible for the richest fifth to pay state and local taxes at a rate of 5.6 per-

Folks, its during the writing of The Declaration of Independence: time to choose pitchforks. The issue today is the same as its been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite. The pimps have selected the elite by endorsing Robertss idea about money in politics: The government may not seek to limit the appearance of mere influence or access. In other words, the Koch boys cannot be limited in political contributions to gain access but they can severely limit the access of Joe and Jane Sixpack by buying all the speech.

DREAMS: from 9 the medical superintendent of East Riding Mental Hospital, Beverly, England. In brief, the account of the case is as follows: The patient was suffering from recurring attacks similar to epilepsyfalling down unconscious with perception of strange odors and tastes. Tests were ambiguous and inconclusive, and it was difficult to decide whether the patients symptoms arose from physical or psychological sources. This ambiguity intrigued Dr. Davie, so he considered arriving at a diagnosis by means of dream interpretation. Not being expert in such things himself, Davie submitted one of the patients dreams to Jung. The dream was as follows: Someone beside me kept on asking me something about oiling some machinery. Milk was suggested as the best lubricant. Apparently I thought that oozy slime was preferable. Then a pond was drained, and amid the slime there were two extinct animals. One was a minute mastodon. I forgot what the other one was. Jung had no hesitation in replying that the dream indicated some organic disturbance, and that the illness was not primarily a psychological one. Jung interpreted the drainage of the pond as due to the damming-up of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation. The dream-images of the pond and dam, Davie asserts, refer to structures best described by Wilfred Trotter in his Victor Horsley Memorial Lecture, which appeared in a 1926 issue of the British Medical Journal: the source of [the cerebrospinal fluid] which has given so much difficulty to the chemical physiologist may turn out to be no more abstruse a thing than natures nearest approach in the animal body to a spring of plain water; if this should be so, it may also remind us of the small and amusing coincidence that one part, at any rate, of the tortuous channel through which the fluid runsthe [brains] Aqueduct of Sylviushas since the very early days of anatomy borne a singularly exact and appropriate name. Davie concludes: What did the dream say? The pond was drained, and amid the slime were two extinct animals, miniature in size. One was a minute mastodon. I forgot what the other one was. Why should we not saythe hypothalamus and the pituitary lying beneath the cerebro-spinal fluid pond? It is not difficult to interpret the meaning of slime the colloid secretion of the pituitary. According to Collin, the flow of that secretion is in several directions, towards the general circulation, to the tuber cinereum and into the cerebro-spinal fluid

the independent 04.25.14

The American mastodon [nipple-tooth] has been extinct for roughly 10,000 years.

of the third ventricle. The Latin word pituita means slime or mucus. Here, then, we have a striking parallel to the neurological hypothesis which would assume some derangement of the neural centres of the floor of the third ventricle. It is not overstressing the comparison to suggest some similitude between the corpora mammillaria and the nipple-like projections on the molar teeth which give the mastodon its name. . Dreams it would seem, do not merely provide information on the psychological situation, but may disclose the presence of organic disturbance and even denote its precise location. Where can we go with this? Perhaps we can use dreams as Davie did, to confirm diagnosesat least insofar as they may arise from a physical condition rather than a psychological one. But perhaps we can go further and ask ourselves

what these things mean with regard to the mind/ body relationship and the development of the brain. In a practical sense, we might also look to dreams for information regarding the nature of diseases and information on the mysteries of human physiology. There is much in this one dream that remains unaccounted for.
