Olympus offers dumb kind of fun

n a fateful winter night, capable Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) pulled the President of the United By Kayley States (Aaron Eckhart) Erlandson from a car teetering on a bridge, but at the expense of the First Lady (Ashley Judd). Everyone knows Mike did the right thing, but hes taken off the Secret Service and given a desk job in Washington D.C. with a window overlooking the White House. One day, Mike is tapping away at his computer when a hostile airplane begins shooting down civilians in the capitol. Mike races outside to help, but finds himself in the middle of a North Korean terrorist invasion of the White House. Somehow, Mike makes it inside alive, but by that time the White House (code name Olympus) has fallen. The President and several other important politicians are being held hostage in the safe bunker below. The terrorists demand that America withdraw from the DMZ in Korea, or they will kill the President. Not on Mikes watch.

Lori Jury of Valley City was elected to serve as secretary-treasurer of the Airport Association of North Dakota at the Upper Midwest Aviation Symposium held in Fargo in early March. The event is sponsored annually by the ND Aviation Council which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year being founded in March 1983.

Hes an Ameri-CAN, not an AmeriCANT. He takes a proverbial shot of testosterone and shoots his way to the bunker to save the President and other hostages. I went to this movie as a throwaway bit of entertainment, entering with no expectations. In the case of Olympus Has Fallen, this strategy allowed me to enjoy the movie to its fullest. By no means perfect (pretty far from, in fact), it exuded more Die Hard-iness than A Good Day to Die Hard did (and yes, Im still sore about how royally that film was botched). Olympus reminded me of the simple, corny 80s movies, complete with bad guy prone to cartoonish behavior, who is shown at slanted camera angles that serve to amplify his evilness. Also, Mikes superficially developed relationship with the Presidents young son was so tacked-on and brief I half expected Mike to throw the boy his game jersey and the boy to chirp, Thanks, Mean Joe! Although the terrorists take over the White House with relative ease, they were somewhat lacking in the torture department. For an R-rated film that didnt skimp on the blood and gore, I thought the torture was mild at best and laughable at worst. Their way of torturing secret nuclear launch codes
out of some of their hostages is lightly pressing a knife to a neck or kicking someone a few times before the codes were theirs for the taking. And even though getting this information was pertinent to their ultimate goal, the terrorists wait several hours in between trying to get the information from their captives, giving Gerard Butler plenty of time to come to the rescue. This is just shoddy terrorism and poor time management on their part. Olympus exudes more patriotism than the Fourth of July and apple pie combined, in an utterly ridiculous, in-your-face kind of way. There is no shortage of American flags being symbolically interacted with (thrown, burned, emblazoned behind the hero, etc.) while the camera lingers. In addition to excessive patriotism shots, the occasional serious imagery (such as the Washington Monument hit by a terrorist plane and collapsing onto itself, uncomfortably bringing up memories of 9/11) felt inappropriately at odds with the lighthearted everyday-man, shoot-em-up premise.Olympus Has Fallen borders on the ridiculous and unintentionally humorous at all times. Its a dumb film, but for me, it was the fun kind of dumb. All I did was suspend my disbelief and I had a good time. Logic can come later.

By Mary Ann Sheets rom Another Time to Mi Pueblito, the flavors of Quiche and Salads have been changed to Enchiladas and Salsa! The former dcor of aprons for curtains has become guitars and sombreros. Abel Turrubiates, (he likes to be called Abel T) the owner and chef of Mi Pueblito, has experienced many transitions in his life, so making changes is not a new challenge. From living in a little tarpaper house with his grandmother, mother and three siblings in Tampico, Mexico, to owning a restaurant in Valley City, the road has been bumpy, challenging and character building. Abels family moved to the Harlingen, Texas, area when he was five. His mother was a cook, took in ironing and did whatever jobs were offered so she could keep the family together. This dedication left a lasting impression on Abel. As a teenager, Abel along with uncles and cousins spent many summers in Minnesota working in the beet fields. It was a cousin in Moorhead, Minn., that finally brought Abel to this area. The construction trade was his introduction to his now father-in-law, Rollie Hochstetler. Abel gives Rollie high praise and credit for giving him the opportunity to work side by side with him in Valley City. In spite of many twists and turns in his life, Abel feels very blessed and very excited to bringing authentic Mexican flavors to the area. MI PUEBLITO: 10

very year, more than 10,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases such as leukemia or lymphoma. A marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant from By Krista an unrelated donor may be Headland the best or only hope of a cure. The National Marrow Donor Programs Be The Match Registry is the worlds largest and most diverse registry of potential marrow donors and donated cord blood units. With more than 10.5 million potential donors, the growing registry is helping more patients than ever before get the transplant they need. About 70 percent of people in need of a transplant do not have a matching donor in their family. They depend on the Be The Match Registry to find an unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood unit. The likelihood of a person finding a matching donor depends on race and ethnicity. Because tissue types are inherited, people are most likely to match someone of their own race or ethnicity. Registry members of diverse racial and ethnic ancestry are especially needed, so every patient has the chance for a cure. Here are some donation myths and facts. MYTH: All donations involve surgery. FACT: The majority of donations to not involve surgery. Today, the patients doctor most often requests a peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation, which is non-surgical. The second way of donating is marrow donation, which is a surgical procedure. In each case, donors typically go home the same day they donate. MYTH: Donating is painful and involves a long recovery. FACT: There can be uncomfortable but short-lived side effects of donating PBSC. Due to taking a drug called filgrastim for five days leading up to donation, PBSC donors may have headaches, joint or muscle aches or fatigue. PBSC donors are typically back to their normal routine in

one to two days. Those donating marrow receive general or regional anesthesia, so they feel no pain during donation. Marrow donors can expect to feel some soreness in their lower back for one to two weeks afterward. Most marrow donors are back to their normal activities in two to seven days.
MYTH: Donating is dangerous and weakens the donor. FACT: Though no medical procedure is without risk, there are rarely any long-term side effects. Be The Match carefully prescreens all donors to ensure they are healthy and the procedure is safe for them. They also provide support and information every step of the way. Because only five percent or less of a donors marrow is needed to save the patients life, the donors immune system stays strong and the cells replace themselves within four to six weeks. MYTH: In marrow donation, pieces of bone are removed from the donor. FACT: No pieces of bone are taken during marrow donation. Only the liquid marrow found inside the pelvic bone is needed to save the patients life. MYTH: Donors have to pay to donate. FACT: Donors never pay to donate. Be The Match reimburses travel costs, and may reimburse other costs on a case-by-case basis. According to Andrew, a PSBC donor, My donation experience was overall very positive. A minor inconvenience really, not much different than giving blood. Bottom line, very little time, very little pain for a lifetime of satisfaction that I had a chance to save someones life. Visit www.BeTheMatch.org to learn more about giving the gift of life to someone in need.

n Fishing Florida: Part 2
I made the call
OUR OUTDOORS
NORTH DAKOTA OUTDOORS
Hunting, fishing, trapping contributes $1.4 billion to ND economy
t wasnt the time or place for it, thats for sure. But I made the call as I sent my shrimp out, rotating around the egg sinker like the moon orbiting the earth in By Nick fast-motion. As it splashed down Simonson into the aquamarine inshore water, for some reason I said to my brother-in-law Adam, this is it man, a big trout - 18 inches plus, guaranteed! Up until the call, we had landed sea trout and ladyfish hand-over-fist from our rented skiff, which we had anchored up next to a small shoal of gold sand surrounded by sea grass dipping down into about seven feet of water. Throughout our time in the incoming tide and its peak on the Intercoastal Waterway of southwest Florida, none of the 80 or so trout we had caught met the minimum legal limit of 15 inches, with very few eclipsing 13. So perhaps I made the call out of desperation for something substantial at the end of my line. It was almost a given that if one of these small trout didnt hit in the first 20 seconds after our baits entered the water, the aggressive ladyfish would smash it on the retrieve and begin an aerial show highlighted by multiple jumps, flips and tailwalks across the surface of the water. Such battles have earned the ladyfish the nickname of poor mans tarpon and maybe enhanced their quality in anglers eyes by doing so. Some of the ladyfish we encountered went 18 to 20 inches, and I wondered if a trout of the same size would put up as good of a fight. Maybe it was that curiosity which caused me to make the call. Frustration isnt the word, exactly, which led to the call, but we had been cooped up in our condo for three days as a cold front sent the jet stream nose-diving from the upper plains to the Florida panhandle. With it came snow in Atlanta, freeze warnings as far south as Ocala, and a Wednesday morning SIMONSON: 8
ew in the Midwest will question the role of hunting, fishing and trapping when it comes By Doug to quality of Leier life. If youve ever watched the sun come up from a duck blind or witnessed the expression of a determined youngster tussling with a formidable fish at the end of a line, youll understand that its difficult to put price on our outdoor activities and traditions. At the same time, most of us are well aware that the money we spend on licenses and other fees directly benefits our activities. Taxes on gas that we put in our boats helps build and maintain boat ramps, and part of hunting license fees helps secure places to hunt through the North Dakota Game and Fish Departments Private Land Open to Sportsmen program. Those are just two of many examples. At the same time, hunters, anglers and trappers also spend money on goods and services in pursuit of their activities, such as equipment, travel, lodging and food. While none of us hunt or fish simply because its good for the economy, from time to time its important for the Game and Fish Department to get a solid estimate on how much these activities contribn n n n n n n n n

Bighorns show record lamb recruitment
Nick Simonson poses with the sea trout - an 18-incher - which he claims to have "called" up while fishing on southwest Florida's Intercoastal Waterway. (Submitted photo) SIMONSON: FROM 7 wake-up temperature of 39 degrees on Palm Island where we were staying, along with 30 miles per hour winds. It felt like home, which was what I was trying to avoid after this years extended winter. So when it warmed up to 70 degrees, I was just happy to be on the water, but was nagged by my imagination of what my fishing would have been like had I been out for the previous days, which were cancelled due to small craft advisories and the boat rental companys insurance not covering those craft sent out crewed by landlubbers like me in such cold and choppy conditions. So maybe it was just mild frustration that led to the call. Whatever it was, I made the call for a fish of proportions significantly larger than what we had been seeing. Its easy when youre fishing bluegills, crappies or on a hot walleye bite to call out the species, size and maybe even timing the strike with a countdown to a hookset. But I dont often holler out for something Im pretty sure Im not going to catch. So when the thud at the end of my line transferred up to my hands and my rod bowed in a solid arch after a sweeping hookset, Im certain my eyes widened three sizes. My opponent didnt bolt to the surface, so I was certain it wasnt a ladyfish. It gave the familiar headshake like the dozens of trout I had previously caught, but on a much stronger scale. The fish battled to stay down in the depths, but about half way back to the boat, it came close enough to confirm the call. It was a huge speckled sea trout that dwarfed all of the others I had seen that day. It was barely hooked in the bottom lip and fought mightily until it came into my brother-in-laws grasp at boatside. I guess you were right, he said, as he held it up and handed it over to me. Yeah, Ive never seen one this big and never, ever made a call like that, I responded, still stunned at what had transpired. I measured the fish up at just a hair over 18 inches, a giant among his contemporaries for sure, and a quality fish to remember the day by. I wont lie, I tried to parlay my first successful outlandish call on the water into a subsequent catch of similar proportions, but it didnt pay off. That one big trout, along with a very small redfish (my first ever) and a crevalle jack for Adam, would be the highlight of the outing. Im guessing that moments like the call only come around once in a blue moon, or maybe only when hell freezes over and the remnant cold front sneaks its way into Florida in late March. Whatever the odds were, I am sure I spent all of my angling mojo in one shot - but it was worth it. Hopefully by the time spring finally sets in and the ice gives way, I will have restocked my angling luck and be ready to make another outrageous callin our outdoors.
Nick Simonson grew up in Valley City.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Departments annual bighorn sheep survey revealed a minimum of 297 bighorn sheep in western North Dakota. The 2012 count was second highest on record and 5 percent above last years survey. In total, biologists counted 87 rams, 156 ewes and a record 54 lambs. Not included are approximately 30 bighorn sheep in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Big game biologist Brett Wiedmann said the northern badlands population was the highest on record, but the southern badlands herds declined slightly. Although adult rams and ewes were virtually unchanged from 2011, we were very pleased to see a record number of lambs recruited into the population, as well as a record recruitment rate of 38 percent, Wiedmann said. Nearly all of the lambs we counted during last summers survey survived the winter. Game and Fish Department biologists count and classify all bighorn sheep in late summer and then recount lambs the following March to determine recruitment. A bumper crop of lambs is indicative of a healthy population, so Wiedmann is encouraged with the results of this years survey. However, Wiedmann added that this years healthy lamb numbers likely wont be reflected in increased hunting licenses for several years, as the total number of rams remains much lower than it was in 2008, and the current age structure of rams is also much younger than what Game and Fish biologists would like to see. Consequently, well likely have to con340 E. MAIN ST. tinue to be conservative with hunting VALLEY CITY pressure for a few years, but the future certainly looks promising, Wiedmann said.

House plant help

From the archives of Ronald C. Smith Horticulturist NDSU Extension Service Q: I have a dieffenbachia in my house. After this winter, the plant started to spread. However, the stem of the plant is turning yellow and the area where the stem and the soil touch is soft. What can I do? Im worried sick. The room lacks light and during the winter, the plant was in constant low temperatures. Is there a way to save my plant? (e-mail reference) A: From what you tell me, the plant is a loss. You can try taking cuttings from the firm parts of the stem and cut them into about 4-inch lengths. Then get some sphagnum peat moss and spread it out in a flat. Be sure to soak it in water and then wring it out. Take the stems and barely cover them in the moss. Place the cuttings in a sunny location. Mist the moss daily to keep everything moist, but not soggy. In six weeks or less, you should see some leaves coming from one of the ends. Check the other ends of the cuttings. You probably will have some roots emerging as well. Carefully lift the cuttings out and pot them in commercial potting soil. Put the pots in a sunny location and keep the media moist, but not wet. The plants will grow nicely from then on, assuming you have learned your lesson from this experience! Q: I have an evergreen in our front yard (picture enclosed). I would like to put a flower bed under it, but I have a few questions before I start. Ive heard that some trees have shallow roots and digging around the tree to plant flowers can hurt the tree. There is a root running above the ground. There isnt much grass growing under the tree, so Im wondering if itll sustain any kind of plant life or is it too acidic? We have very sandy soil. (McVille, N.D.) A: Cut a few more feet of limbs from the bottom of the tree and you will be able to plant all the flowers you want. With a tree the size of yours, the surface roots will be damaged somewhat, but HORTISCOPE: 19
he Jamestown College Department of Music and the Valley City Civic Orchestra will present a Joint Chamber Orchestra concert in both Jamestown and Valley City. The Valley City performance will also include an eclectic program by the VCSU Comunity School of the Arts groups Valley Voices and Valley Youth choirs, under the direction of Christopher Redfearn and Sara Hagen, respectively. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, in Jamestown Colleges Voorhees Chapel and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13, in Valley City State Universitys Vangstad Auditorium. Both performances are free and open to the public. The program includes Finale from Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Grenada from Albeniz Suite Espagnole, Sound of Music Suite by Richard Rodgers, Waltz No. 2 from Suite for Variety Orchestra by Dmitri Shostakovich, and Music from The Gladiator by Hans Zimmer. The ensemble performs under the direction of James Adams, director of the Valley City Civic Orchestra; Benjamin Schneider, director of bands and orchestra at Jamestown College; and Kirci Wagner, Valley City State University student conductor. The group includes high school and college students from both cities, as well as community members and faculty. LEIER: From 7 said Game and Fish Department Director Terry Steinwand. These studies help alert us to any major shifts in hunter and angler activities or participation. Overall, anglers and hunters in North Dakota spent $642.9 million dollars on equipment, vehicles, boats, travel, lodging, food and many other items. In addition, these expenditures generated nearly $727 million in secondary economic benefits, gross business volume, secondary employment and state-level tax collections, according to the NDSU researchers. According to the report, resident hunters and anglers accounted for $555.7 million of total expenditures, while nonresidents contributed $78.6 million. Anglers spent $425 million and hunters $217 million. These direct and indirect expenditures from resident hunters and anglers generated approximately $35 million in state-level tax collection. Nonresidents generated another $5
Valley Voices. The Valley Voices program features something for everyone. First will be A Girls Garden, with music by Randall Thompson and text by Robert Frost. Next is Paul Baslers wistful version of the sea chantey Shenandoah, followed by Rollo Dilworths peaceful setting of Psalm 23, Beside the Still Waters. The Valley Voices will then turn to an arrangement of the Dvorak motet Musica Dei donum optimi. Finally, they end the program with Song of the Mira, a Canadian folk song the Cape Breton area.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game. A silly song called Have You Ever Seen a Housefly? partners with Shoo Fly, Dont Bother Me! And the American mountain song Johnson Boys will have the audience toe-tapping along with the body percussion section and Shell Be Comin Round the Mountain with choreography is sure to bring a smile. Combined choirs. The Valley Voices and Valley Youth choirs will come together on two more serious selections to commemorate the sacrifice of those seeking freedom here and abroad. Dry Your Tears, Afrika by John Williams is a powerful tune from the movie Amistad, about a mutiny aboard a slave ship headed for America in 1839. The piece also features a percussion ensemble and is sung in the Mende language. Finally, The Song for Unsung Heroes includes a stirring rendition of My Country Tis of Thee with trumpet and womens angel chorus.
Valley Youth Choir. The Valley Youth Choir, formally the Valley Childrens Choir, is a group made up of singers in grades 3-9 this year. Though originally organized around an upper elementary level, the choir has a core group of singers that continues the tradition of singing outside of the school setting just for fun.

million. We know that hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation are an important quality of life factor for many North Dakotans, Steinwand said. This report reinforces the notion that economic activity associated with our outdoors is significant as well. Compared to spending in the 2001-02 season, total direct expenditures by resident hunters and anglers increased by $43.6 million, and by $4 million for nonresidents.

OPINION: LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Letter from Robert Drake Valley City, ND This is my second letter concerning the so called Smart Meters that the city of Valley City wants to install in place of the analog meters that we now have. Well, it would take 20 letters to the editor to fully inform you about how bad these Smart Meters are for your health, for your pocket book and your security. So I am going to give you a crash course in Smart Meters, starting with information we all understand already. We understand what Underwriters Laboratory is. Every appliance you have in your home right now has a stamp on it that says UL approved. That means that the appliance -- a toaster, mixer, stove or air conditioner -- has been tested and retested to ensure that it is safe to be used in your home. Underwriters Laboratory is an industry leader in all things electric. It is independent of government influence as well as corporate influence. If an electrical appliance does not have a UL Approved label it is not safe for use in your home. Smart meters are not approved by Underwriters Laboratory. All the makers of smart meters have to do is ask UL and it will test them and if the meters are safe they will get the UL label. One problem: smart meters are not safe; that is why the makers of smart meters do not want them tested by any authority. The FCC says that smart meters are safe, they say the RF (radio frequency) emissions are only 1/6.000th of the federal health standard at distance of 10 feet. What the FCC is doing is using the DRAKE: 13
Leading from behind

orth Dakota has a leadership vacuum, and its centered on the governors office in the state capitol. Few would consider Gov. Jack Dalrymple as a By Rob lead from the front sort Port of executive. He is quiet and calculating and rarely seems willing to take a bold stand on much of anything. That can, perhaps, be a good thing. Recklessness isnt something we should want in a leader. But then, we should also want a leader with conviction. Let me give you a couple of cases-inpoint: First, the abortion issue. There is arguably no subject more controversial, more divisive, than the issue of abortion. Without a doubt, Dalrymple made a tough choice when he decided to sign into law what would be, if they ever get to be enforced, the most restrictive regulations on abortion in the country. So youd expect, when asked about that decision, that Dalrymple would describe the logic and philosophy that led him to the decision he made. But when Dalrymple was asked about the decision during an interview on a Fargo television station, his answer wasnt exactly indicative of a man with strong feelings on the matter. I thought this through very carefully and its a very difficult issue and theres a lot to learn about it, Dalrymple told the host. I dont think its personal; I mean, I dont have a personal belief or a personal history or anything like that influencing my thinking. No personal belief? By signing the three pro-life bills which have been sent to his desk as of the time of this writing the legislature is still sitting on a fourth bill our governor guaranteed North Dakotans years of impassioned debate and costly legal battles. Im pro-life, so I think Dalrymple made the right decision. Yet, Id also like to think his decision was based on something more than political calculation which is, absent personal conviction, what the decision had to be based on by process of elimination. But life issues arent the only area where Dalrymple has been leading from behind. The civil war taking place in North Dakotas university system right now with PORT: 13

OPINION: LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fair and Equal?

Letter from Lloyd Nelson Valley City, ND There is nothing fair and equal about property taxes. In 2004, our property tax was just a little over $1,400 per year. During the years of 2004 to the present, our property assessment has risen $95,000, and our property taxes are now close to $3,000 per year. (My wife and I are retired and on a fixed income.) If this is an indication
of the help we have received, and will receive from the State, I cannot afford it. This year alone ,our assessment increased $14,000. However, many other properties didnt increase one cent. According to the assessor, they, are not in the areas in which the assessments went up! In plain words, assessors pick and choose whose assessments will increase and whose will not. If legislators really want to correct the inequities in prop-
erty taxation: 1. Reduce all property assessments back to the year 2000. 2. Place a cap on assessments not to exceed 2 percent, or cost of living. Whichever is less. (Remember in 2009 and 2010 the retired received NO increase in their pensions, however their property assessments increased.) If one property in the city/county is increased, ALL properties are increased the same percentage. Two percent or COLA.)
3. At age 60, you pay only city and county property tax. (None of the extras) 4. At age 70, you are exempt from ALL property tax. The proposal of exempting the first $100,000 of a home, and the state paying more of the school costs will not work. Within five years, assessments will increase to such a great extent that property owners will be paying the same amount they are paying now.
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

In the most recent developments, university system employee Linda Porter told a legislative committee that Chancellor Shirvani had pressured her to produce what she described as fraudulent data to discredit certain university presidents. Shirvani denied it, and a university system auditor confirmed that none of the data used by Shirvani was fraudulent. Whats more, Rep. Bob Skarphol unveiled evidence in the education appropriations subcommittee he chairs, which suggests that Porters accusations were the result of coordination between certain legislators and board members. But whatever side of this issue you come down on, its clear that all involved are desperately in need of a moderator. Thats a role only the states chief executive can fill. Hes got the bully pulpit of his office, and he appointed most of the members of the current State Board of Higher Education. But has Governor Dalrymple been up for the job? So far, no. Hes nowhere to be found on the issue, at least not publicly, which is troubling. There is a pie-throwing contest going on in a university system that costs taxpayers over a billion dollars a year, and North Dakotas chief executive is hiding behind his desk. Governor Dalrymple signed some of the most controversial legislation this state has ever seen into law, but rather than explain himself to the public he claims he doesnt have any personal beliefs on the matter. This sort of paucity of leadership can have ugly consequences for the state. For Republicans, Dalrymples leadership vacuum leaves their messaging disorganized and less effective. For the state in general, the absence of a firm hand on the states tiller leads to more chaos and expense than might otherwise be strictly necessary. We can hope that Dalrymple soon finds a way to be out in front of some of these issues, but that seems unlikely to happen.

DISTRICT 24 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Legislature grapples with oil boom impact

he 2013 legislative session is making good progress as we move toward completion of this session by late April. The schedule of conference committees is long. More committees will be added to that list in the next number of days. It is a sign that things here in Bismarck are winding down. One of the most difficult issues the legislature has had By Larry to deal with this session is responding to the needs in Robsinson western North Dakota.The oil boom has created newfound wealth for the region and, in fact, the entire state of North Dakota. The unanticipated growth in the region has created a host of issues for both the local and state government, including needs for public schools, law enforcement, emergency medical services, roads, housing, daycare, airports, and much more. Schools have rushed to purchase portable classrooms to accommodate additional students and portable apartment units to house teachers who cannot afford $2,000-$3,0000 per month rental rates. There is a shortage of workers across the board, including medical DRAKE: From 12 wrong data to justify saying that smart meters are safe and hope you will not question them on the facts.They are using data from thermal exposure tests instead of nonthermal exposure. The nonthermal exposure has never been tested by the FCC and smart meters give off nonthermal radiation, which is actually much higher. You can see for yourself. Go to http:// www.emrpolicy.org/litigation/case law/docs/ noi epa response.pdf (Norbert Hawkin, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2002.) Another thing you might want to consider is the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has refused many times the requests by several city county and state governments to do an Environmental Impact Report on smart meters -because the EPA knows that smart OMDAHL: From 12 He had been pursuing a masters in theology when an anvil fell on his foot just as his preacher- mentor came around the corner. They both thought a change in major would be for the best. The residents were beyond salvation, anyway, but he could do something to save the buildings. Well, let em come and count us again, Ole Sievert bristled as he glanced around for an empty spot to spit his snuff. It was a filthy habit. No, countered Garvey, we cant let them count us again because they over counted us by six people in 2010 and we need those extra six to get $600 more in state
professionals, truck drivers, store clerks, the list goes on and on. County and city governments are attempting to respond to the rapid growth. Needless to say, they are overwhelmed! The state of North Dakota has in place program for funding energy impact counties. The fund is established using a percentage of oil tax revenue, intended to provide a safety net for areas impacted by this rapid growth. Up until the boom in oil country, the impact dollars were doing a fairly good job of keeping up with the demand. Unfortunately, that has not been the case in the past couple of years. House Bill 1358 was introduced to respond to the needs of western North Dakota. The Governor's Executive Budget recommendation called for a total of $739 million to address impacts in energy country. That compares to $392 million for the current biennium. In the House, the funding was increased to $1.258 billion dollars. The debate now is what is the appropriate level of funding to address the needs in western North Dakota. The Senate Appropriations Committee heard testimony from a number of representatives from western North Dakota underscoring the need for increased funding in oil country. Our committee will now deliberate on the bill and determine a recommended level of funding ROBINSON: 19 There are 23 cities, several counties in California, as well as many countries around the globe that have in place, right now, moratoriums stopping smart meters until further study has been done. All of you reading this need to call your city commissioners and voice your concerns about smart meters. They are unproven. They are unsafe. My next letter will be on how the government can turn off your air conditioner or heater or regulate the length of your shower by using the smart meter in your house. Think it cannot happen? If I would have told you 10 years ago that the government would take over the health care of the United States by 2014 you would have said I was crazy. This is the same thing. It is about power and money, their power and our money, and they want both. Simple as that. Just light a big firecracker on the street and we can get instant dummies in every window now, Josh smirked. We need to convert our terrorist warning system to a U. S. Census alarm one if by road and two if by track, Garvey suggested. Maybe we should just pray that the Census will send the same people who did the last count, Little Jimmy proposed. I count them as friends and who knows? They may end up giving us even more residents. On that cheery note, the committee applauded, pulled on their jackets, and headed for the gardens. Ork just scratched his head.
meters will fail the governments own laws and regulations concerning Radio Frequency Radiation standards and EMF (Elector Magnetic Fields). Utility companies like PG&E Californias largest utility company was granted a waiver from suppling environmental impact studies concerning smart meters and their effect on customers. Which brings us to the liability question. If, lets say, 10 years from now, smart meters are the cause of serious health issues, who pays?? Well, one thing is for sure it will not be PG&E because the state of California has exempted it from liability when it comes to smart meters. The makers of smart meters, the state of California and PG&E all say that smart meters are safe and without any health issues at all. Yet they are exempt from liability!! Sounds a little bit fishy to me how about you.
aid. It would take another 40 mills in property tax to replace it, considering our small market value. What market value? asked Old Sievert. Hes had his house on the market for four years and got nary a bite even though he had an indoor toilet. How did the Census miscount by 35 percent? asked Einar Torvald as he shook his head. If you ask me, they applied that estimate system used in congested urban areas, assumed Orville Jordan, the retired depot agent. They just figured two people times 14 houses and got 28, But we dont even have 14 houses unless they counted the two chicken coups.
If they took away those six over counted people, we would have to do one of those sequester things and cut back on services maybe plow only one lane of snow next winter, Little Jimmy ventured. We could burn down a few empty houses in case they do that street count again and multiply two by fewer houses, offered Orville. Once them Census people get into town, theyll know we dont have 28 people by whos not downtown, Einar prophesied. We need to fake it. Yeah! Lets get us some folks like that policeman down at Amidon at least two of them in every front window, suggested Holger.

THIS IS BUFFALO!
Connecting: Buffalos search for growth ties past to future

By Liane Stout Come for a VisitStay for a Story is the theme adopted by the community of Bu alo in its e orts to invite people to their small rural community, since hosting the 2012 Community Connect Forum. At the forum, communities were able to share their own stories and discuss ways of creating a great story to tell of their town. In the year leading up to the forum, we in Bu alo worked hard to create a successful community story. e beginning. Bu alos story started with the arrival of the railroad. e early growth of the community is evident as described in e Daily Argus, a now-defunct Fargo newspaper: Bu alo is one of those marvelous examples of Dakotas progress, and shares freely in the general prosperity of Cass County. e location of this ourishing young town is on the main line of the great Northern Paci c system, 39 miles west of Fargo and 163 miles east of Bismarck and surrounded by an area of country unsurpassed in richness by any in the Territory. e railroad is how you came for a visit to New Bu alo in Dakota Territory in the late 1870s and 1880s. In 1883, the name of the town was shortened to Bu alo by the postmaster, as he tired of writing New Bu alo all the time. Today, the trains are still coming through town but they dont bring visitors anymore. We have gone through cycles of boom and self-su ciency, to a community that needs to continually analyze how we can be connected, and collaborate with others to get through the di erent cycles of change. at is why we have to work very hard to make sure people continue to come for a visit and stay for a story. Rich heritage. ere are so many facets to Bu alos story, like our historic properties listed on the National Register, our nationally recognized cemetery lled with more than 1,200 peony plants started from the rst plantings in 1911, and now, Bu alos new Book of Valor Veterans Memorial, which will be dedicated May 27. A er community members attended the 2011 Community Connect Forum in Mountain, N.D., we began to seriously think about our own community and how we were viewed by others outside of our community. We were already very busy working on several major projects, but knowing we would be hosting the 2012 Community Connect Forum, we knew we needed to Dress up Bu alo, Companys Coming! Looking forward. Already, Bu alos story is changed from that of just a few years ago. We began an initiative to beautify Bu alo through painting, planting and paving. With help from many community volunteers, the University of North Dakotas Center for Community Engagement, and students from UND and North Dakota State University, we painted the historic Margaret Fraase Library, planted owers throughout the town, and hosted demonstrations of an alternative paving material to improve our streets. Around this same time, our grocery store was facing closure. Because the grocery store is a critical retail base in our community and provides a necessary service for people living in our town, dedicated citizens decided to sell shares in the store, and were also awarded a grant from the USDA to help with remodeling and new equipment. e new Bu alo Food Market opened within a day of the old store closing. Saving a critical business in our town through the e orts of our citizens became an integral piece of BUFFALO: 15

Open communication with teens is key

Submitted by Ellen Bjelland Barnes County Extension rom, high school graduation and other special events are milestones in your childs life, but they sometimes come with additional risk factors for high-risk decision making (e.g. underage drinking, unprotected sexual activity). To help ensure these events are safe and still fun, some helpful advice and resources follow. Keeping your Teen Safe. Never provide your child, or their friends, with alcohol. Not only does it increase your childs risk for alcohol related problems now and later in life but you are also putting yourself at risk (for more information on related North Dakota laws see www.parentslead.org/NDlaws.php Here are some things to keep in mind: n Dont send mixed messages. Sometimes, it is thought that if you supervise the underage drinking you are protecting your child. This is actually a misconception; research indicates that adult-hosted parties that serve alcohol to teens do not reduce risk factors. n Keep them safe on the road. Data from 2010 ND Department of Transportation indicates 50 percent of drivers involved in alcohol-related crashes in N.D. were 18-29 years of age. n Supervise. Letting teens go to an unsupervised hotel room, party or distant location like a cabin rarely ends well. It is much easier to engage in risky behavior including using drugs and alcohol, engage in sexual activity or become a victim of an accident. n Negotiate. Curfews are important for teens. During a special event, you may have to negotiate on this topic. Discuss what is realistic to expect during a special event. Having a plan for the whole evening with several acceptable options is a great defense for not being pressured into going to the drinking party. Remind them that you will still be holding them accountable: Say I will be up when you get home or Wake me when you get home. n Communicate Expectations and Hold Accountable. These events are special but remind your teen that your familys rules still apply. Use these special events to reinforce your messages about leading a healthy lifestyle,
CONNECTING. The University of North Dakota Center for Community Engagements Com-
munity Connect program includes what is known as the Stone Soup Bus Tour, in which students tour rural communities, visit with locals and get their hands dirty helping townsfolk with projects needing doing. The Stone Soup Bus Tour recently stopped in Tower City, where staffers from The Independent joined the enthusiastic group for Tower City Travel Centers famous pie.

BUFFALO: From 14 our community story. Another long-running community project has been restoring the historic 1916 Buffalo High School, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The high school closed its doors in 1978 due to a consolidation of our school district with neighboring communities. Now, the elementary school in Buffalo hosts kindergarten through grade three of our regional school system and two neighboring communities divide the rest of the grades. As a result, our historic high school building sat empty for 20 years and was deteriorating to the point that many felt it was beyond saving. But through tremendous volunteer efforts and donations, contributions of professional services, and grants from the North Dakota Preservation Commission, we were able to save the school from demolition. With the completion of a major remodeling project in 2011, partially funded by a grant, we installed restroom facilities and a food prep area on the main floor, and once again are able to open the doors for community events and social gatherings. One of the classrooms is now the location of our successful Old School Gift Shoppe & Dakota Territory Gallery, which provides a revenue stream for the ongoing renovations and upkeep. Our goal is to have our historic high school completed by 2016 to celebrate its 100th Anniversary and once again make it the heart of our community. SCHLECHT: From 19 deliver milk. ... For the benefit of those of our readers who are not acquainted with the exact location of the factory, we will say that it is situated ten miles southeast of Sheldon and a short
As if all of these projects werent enough for a small town of 188 people, we were also in the final stages of completing a large, 90 foot by 96 foot, facility to house our area-wide volunteer Rural Fire District and Area Quick Response Unit. The building had been in the planning stages for many years and would cost over half a million dollars. This newest asset to Buffalo boasts a conference room, training area, kitchen facility, offices and a shop to house the Quick Response Unit, four firefighting vehicles and all the necessary equipment for the 30 volunteers. The Buffalo Fire Hall allowed us to host more than 200 people at the 2012 Community Connect Forum. We welcomed people from all over the region and state to our town. We shared our story and we heard stories from the many new friends we made through this important connection with other communities. While our story is always changing and evolving, it is still accurately described in this 1917 clipping from Glimpses of Cass County: Buffalo, the third station out of Fargo, is one of the most enterprising villages in the state. Its business men are not only commercially wide awake, but they are always on the go when it comes to improving the townan up-to-date school and excellent public schools look after the welfare of the children of the communityhealthful, prosperous, industrious, with public spirited and contented people, Buffalo is a happy town.

your expectations and consequences for breaking rules. Talk about the consequences of underage drinking or being in a vehicle with an intoxicated driver. n Help them plan. Help your son or daughter plan for the types of situations that may present on the night of the special event. Role-play or discuss what to do if confronted with different risky situations. The Partnership at Drugfree suggests a checklist that can help your teen begin thinking about the event and produces opportunities for conversations: http://decoder.drugfree.org/2009/04/22/prom-checklistand-tips-for-teens-and-parents/ Get Involved. Parents that are involved can help create environments that are less risky. Here are some ideas on how to get involved: n Sign up for the prom committee and help plan the after party. n Talk to the parent of your childs date or friends and make sure you are all getting the same story about the plans. n If not already in place, help your school formulate guidelines for a safe event, or host a party at your home. n When entertaining youth, make sure you have plenty of food, non-alcoholic beverages and adults available but not part of the party. n Get some rest you will likely be keeping the same (late) hours as your teen during these special events. This is just a perk of being a parent ENJOY! n Talk! Having these conversations can be tough. Here are some great conversation starters from The Partnership at Drugfree.org http://decoder.drugfree. org/2011/04/08/5-tips-to-create-asafe-prom-and-high-school-graduation-season-for-your-teen/ How are you feeling about the prom? What are you most excited about?What are you most nervous about? Find out who your teen is going to prom with.Do you know his/her date and/or group of friends? Does your teen knowthese kidswell? Do you? If you dont know the parents of your teens date and prom group, be sure to get to know them before the big event.

his week, we will continue with another article from the June 4, 1897, issue of The Sheldon Progress. Keep in mind, this article was written over 115 years
ooo OWEGO CHEESE: A Progress Representative Visits the Owego Cheese Factory this Week A Progress representative went down to the Sheyenne this week and visited the Owego HORTISCOPE: FROM 9 it wont be lethal. I have seen plenty of attractive flower plantings under huge spruce trees with no ill effects on the tree or flowers. Q: I have a question about spider plants. I gave one to my mother 18 years ago. Since she passed away, the plant has gone to my sister and now me. I do not want to kill it because its old. It has lots of babies. Should I cut them off and root them? What is the basic watering and light care for spider plants? I believe its still in the original pot! Should I transfer it? Some of the roots are sticking up above the dirt. (e-mail reference) A: Leave it as is, but water it once a week or so. For more information on spider plants, go to http://www.ext.nodak.edu/ extnews/hortiscope/houseplnts/spider.htm. There you will have almost every conceivable question answered. Enjoy. Q: I spray my yard with Trimec for dandelion, clover and creeping Charley, but am not sure of the proper formula to use. Could you please advise me on the proper proportions to use? (e-mail reference) A: All of that information is on the label. If not, go to http:// www.pbigordon.com/pdfs/ TrimecPlus-SL.pdf for more information. Be sure to follow the directions.
cheese factory, an institution that is doing splendid service for the farmers in this part of the county by giving them a sure and lucrative market for their milk. Farmers are constantly receiving advise from various sources as to the advisability of diversified farming, but the change to the diversified methods in the vicinity of Owego is largely due to the enterprise of Messrs. Chas. Oeder and W. C. McConnell, of the Owego cheese factory. The Owego cheese factory is no experiment, having now entered upon its third season of usefulness. There is a growing demand for its product. The output last season amounted to 30,000 pounds, half of which was disposed of to merchants along the lines of the Southwestern and Soo roads, the balance going to points in Montana. This
season the factory is under the able management of Mr. McConnell, who has rented Mr. Oeders farm, that gentleman having gone to Minneapolis. The Progress representative found Mr. McConnell engaged stirring the days milk, consisting of about 1,700 pounds, in a vat of 700 gallon capacity, heated by steam from a twelve-horse-power engine. When the milk is first put into this vat it is kept at about 85 degrees and when the rennet has been added the temperature is raised to 98 degrees. At the proper state the whey is run off into a tank outside to be taken away by the patrons and the curds left in the vat to be salted and worked up prior to being put into hoops and pressed. For this purpose a patent press is pro-
vided with the capacity of 800 pounds. The cheese remains in this press about 12 hours and then is placed in the curing room where it is kept about thirty days at a temperature of 70 degrees. The factory guarantees its patrons 60 cents per 100 pounds of milk, and this is raised in proportion to the price of the cheese market, 70 cents being the average price paid for milk one season. At the present time but 10 patrons, with a total of 50 cows, are selling milk to the factory, but this number will be largely increased in the near future, several being kept away on account of the bridge having been impassable, while farmers at a distance have been too busy with their seeding operations to spare the time to SCHLECHT: 15
Q: Last fall I asked your advice on cutting back my rose bush. I cut it back, covered it with leaves and bought a Styrofoam cone to cover the bush. I put a weight on the cone to anchor it against the wind. I need to know when to uncover it so the bush can get some sunshine and fresh air. As always, your valuable advice will be greatly appreciated. (Bordulac, N.D.) A: Uncover it on a day there is sunshine and the temperature is above freezing. I wouldnt go too far with the Styrofoam cone in case the weather takes a sudden nasty turn, which will happen. Thank you for the nice compliment! Q: I just wanted to let you know that hollyhock is extremely toxic/poisonous to dogs. Perhaps it is only toxic during the growing season, but not during the winter dormant season. My dog ate a root again today that about killed him. Just thought you would want know. (e-mail reference). A: Thanks for the information. Im glad your dog is all right. On matters like this, all I have are a few references, which are research-based and documented by veterinarians or the Poison Control Center. I would suggest ripping out the hollyhock because dogs can be very good companions and loveable to boot, but most are not very bright about learning from bad past experiences, such as chasing cars!
STILLINGS: From 20 Bridges, Valley Citys Hi-Line bridge is the only one that has a claim to some national popular attention. When people ask where Im from, if they dont know about the existence of Valley City, they occasionally do remember the huge railroad bridge they saw off to the north as they drove along I-94. The Luverne Trestle During one of my vacation trips to Valley City from Hawaii, I heard mention of a bridge very much like the Hi-Line that was located near Karnak, in Briggs County. This was news to me, and I made up my mind to go see it. Another similar bridge was said to exist somewhere near Minot. When we finally moved back to Valley City in 2006, I made the trip to Karnak. It is probably a ghost town now; there was only one occupied home, an abandoned country school, and a couple of elevators that I could see. Karnak was founded in c. 1912-1913, and in 1913 had a post office. The population reached 90 in 1920. Directions to the bridge: A dirt road goes east from the main gravel road just before you reach Karnak. The road follows along the south side of the tracks until it takes an abrupt left over the tracks at an unmarked crossing. Beware! Its a live track and your view of what might be coming can be blocked by dense trees and high grass until you are virtually on the tracks. I came very close to being hit; had I arrived three seconds earlier I would have been. From there the road descends to Lake Ashtabula, right where the Sheyenne feeds into it. The river winds through islands of rushes, then opens up just before the ROBINSON: From 13 for House Bill 1358. Unless the funding level is identical to the level approved by the House of Representatives, the bill will be assigned to a Conference Committee to reach resolution. It has been a long and difficult legislative session. All of us are looking forward to coming home to spend a little time with the family. Mary Lee and I are fortunate to have two wonderful grandsons who live in Valley City, Alex age 10 and Max age 4. After a long week in
bridge, which is off to the right. The view is spectacular, a boat landing is available, and it looks like there might be some interesting fishing. There is no convenient access from the Luverne side. Before taking the trip to Karnak I had asked several people in Valley City if they knew of a bridge up that way that looked much like the Hi-Line. Most people were surprised by my question and were unaware of its existence. This lack of local geographical knowledge ended on August 9, 2006, thunderstorm-generated downburst winds funneled down the Sheyenne River Valley at 75 to 100 miles per hour, broadsiding a train, and blowing numerous double-stack containers and BNSF railroad container cars off the south side of the Luverne Trestle . (Apparently Luverne Trestle is the official name of what I refer to as the Karnak Bridge but its closer to Karnak.) Seventy-six containers were destroyed after plunging up to 150 feet into the valley. The accident and the problematical clean-up process were duly reported in the local papers. The Gassman Coulee Trestle The original wooden trestle Gassman Coulee Trestle, located about 3 miles west of Minot, was destroyed by a tornado in 1889. The Great Northern Railway laid a temporary track down through the coulee. Extra engines were employed to assist in braking trains entering the coulee and to assist them in climbing back out. The steel replacement bridge was built in 1899.

Bismarck, it is great to come home and spend a little time with them. They have a way of putting everything in perspective. They remind me why our work here in Bismarck is so important. There will be no legislative forum on Saturday, April 13th in Tower City. Our next forum will be in Enderlin on Saturday, April 20, at 9 a.m. at the City Hall. Hope to see you there. Until then, you can reach me at lrobinson@nd.gov

he area around and under the Hi-Line bridge had a great fascination for me as a youngster growing up in Valley City. It was where we camped and cast throw-lines for bullheads. We caught doz-
ens of sunfish and bluegills from the spawning beds in the shallow hidden lagoon just to the north across the river from Chautauqua Park. (If you enter the creek outlet and take a hard left you enter that pond.) I even once climbed up one of the girders to the top and placed a nickel there. We referred to the area around the lagoon as the Broken Bow, partly
because a huge bent fallen tree dominated the scene, but mainly as tribute to the ranch owned by Steve Adams in the old radio series Straight Arrow (See Remembering radios Straight Arrow, The Independent 7-13-12). The Hi-Line Bridge Of all the bridges in the City of STILLINGS: 19
