Officials break ground for new fire hall and ambulance center
Officials from Rural Development in the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) visited
White Earth Village on Sept. 12 to close a
$370,000 grant and $244,000 loan to the White
Earth Band of Chippewa. The grant and loan will
be used to build a fire hall and ambulance center.
After the loan closing, USDA Rural
Development officials joined members of White
Earth for a ground breaking ceremony.
"We were pleased that we could provide
financial assistance for this project, which will
address one of the critical needs for the residents
of the White Earth area" said Andrew Gag,
Community Programs Specialist with USDA
Rural Development. "We hope to continue to
assist the White Earth Tribe in meeting the needs
of its members. In the past three years, we have
also provided funding for water lines, a septic
tanker truck and a new fire truck"
In addition to the USDA Rural Development
funding, the White Earth contributed $100,000
toward the project.

Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor
The Naytahwaush Harvest Festival and the Diabetes
Camp 2005 deserve special recognition and appreciation
for events well done.
Thank you, Naytahwaush Pow-wow Committee, for
planning and working hard to make the Festival a great
success. From as far away as Canada, people came
home to celebrate, visit, and dance at Naytahwaush.
Thank you, Monte Fox - White Earth Diabetes Project
and White Earth Health Services for another successful
Diabetes Camp. More than 350 people attended the twoday conference. A participant said to me, "This is one of
the best conferences that the tribe sponsors." I agreed.
Last week, Sept. 20-22, Ron Valiant, Executive
Director, and I were in Washington, DC. A report summary of work follows:
Nelson Act Timber Settlement
I met with Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) officials at
Department of Interior to move forward on the timber
settlement. This is a claims settlement, only money, no
timber or land. The settlement has been a standstill for
years.
The timber settlement agreement was passed in 1997.
The settlement called for a payment of $20,000,000 to the
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe for timber sold at less than
fair market value in late 1800s. To date, no funds have
been released because the Minnesota Chippewa Tribal
Executive Committee (TEC) cannot agree on the distribution of settlement.
Four bands (Mille Lacs, Fond du Lac, Bois Forte,
Grand Portage) want an equal split or 1/6 of the settlement. Leech Lake wants 67 percent of the settlement for
timber lost.
The White Earth Nation suffered the greatest loss.
The Nelson Act of 1889 opened allotments and diminished our reservation to allow sale of timber to timber
barons. Both timber and land were swindled on the
White Earth Reservation.
White Earth wants the timber settlement distributed
on per membership formula which the BIA has
endorsed based on its research and findings. Federal
law requires research as to the true beneficiaries of such
claims.
The per membership distribution is fair. BIA has
assured me that it will not deviate from the per membership formula. I am working aggressively at all levels to
get the timber settlement distributed.
Office of Self Governance, Department of Interior
Due to sound management and accountability, White
Earth has liquidated the debt from past corruption.
White Earth is ready for self governance which requires

Tribal IDs cleared for use at poll sites
State officials will allow American
Indians to use tribal identification cards to
register for voting on election day under a
consent decree reached Sept. 12 in federal
court. State law had prohibited the use of
the cards last year if the Indians did not live
on a reservation or if the card did not
include a home address.
The decree, reached in the chambers of
Minnesota federal court chief judge James
Rosenbaum, resolves a lawsuit filed in federal district court last year against
Minnesota Secretary of State Mary
Kiffmeyer.
The lawsuit was filed by the American
Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, the
National Congress of American Indians,
Bonnie Dorr-Charwood, a member of the
Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and Richard
Smith and Tracy Martineau, members of the
Fond du Lac band of Lake Superior
Chippewa.
Although state law allowed other forms
of ID without an address as long as a current utility bill was provided, they argued,
Indians were not allowed to identify themselves at polls using a tribal identification
card without a home address and a utility
bill. They now may do just that, the consent
decree says.
The state law violated the federal Help
America Vote Act of 2002 and the 14th
Amendment, they argued.
Pine Point Elementary launches new program
aimed at saving some green by going green
Pine Point Elementary in Ponsford is
one of three school districts across the state
that is piloting a new program initiated by
an Environmental Protection Agency grant.
Pine Point Elementary is implementing
new “Minnesota Healthy School” methods
with the intent of cutting costs while
improving the health and performance of
students and reducing environmental
impacts.
For example, schools spend more on
energy than on computers and textbooks
combined, and reducing energy use can
help cash-strapped schools funnel more
money into the classroom. Simple steps
such as lowering thermostat settings, turning off unnecessary lights, and shutting
down computers when they’re not in use
can amount to tremendous savings. Kent
School District in Washington saved almost
$200,000 in energy costs in the first year it
implemented these practices in its 40
schools.
Schools that go beyond changing
behavior by upgrading facilities or designing new buildings efficiently see drastically
higher savings. Elk River’s Westwood
Elementary School, built using green
design standards, saved $45,000 annually
on energy costs in just the one building. The
Minnesota Healthy Schools project uses a
specific checklist to help schools reduce
waste, conserve resources, remove unsafe
chemicals, and select least toxic products
that will help schools provide a healthy
environment for students to learn and
grow. Research shows that improving the
quality of the learning environment
reduces absenteeism and improves student
and staff performance.
“This is a win-win-win situation,
schools save money, students are healthier
and perform better, and pollution is
reduced,” says Janelle Sorensen, the
Hutchinson Healthy School Project
Coordinator. “A lot of schools in Minnesota
are already working on these issues, and
we hope that everyone will work together
to get all schools started on this path.
While there have been many local initiatives to address specific aspects of school
health and environment, this is the first
attempt in Minnesota at an interagency,
cross sector collaboration to assist schools
on a variety of issues simultaneously.

White Earth Fisheries Manager makes
a big splash at NAFWS fall conference
White Earth Fisheries Manager Randy
Zortman was named the William H. Eger
Memorial Tribal Biologist of the Year at the
Native American Fish & Wildlife Society Great Lakes Region 2005 Fall Conference
held Sept. 19-22 at Seven Clans Casino in
Thief River Falls. His award read: In recognition of your outstanding contribution to
the management and protection of the natural resources of the White Earth
Reservation and your strong support of the
Great Lakes Region.
The following information was in
Zortman’s nomination letter:
Randy Zortman has worked for the
White Earth Department of Natural
Resources (WEDNR) since 1984 in fisheries.
Starting as a fisheries technician he has
worked his way up the ladder and is currently the Fishery Manager for the department. Randy has held this position for over
16 years. During this time he has developed a first class walleye fishery on the
reservation, managing over 40 lakes.
Since 1990, Randy and his staff have
stocked over 1.8 million two-inch walleye
and another 750,000 walleye fingerlings,
which averaged nine inches in length. This
equates to thousands of hours of rearing
and trapping to collect these young walleye. During Randy’s tenure, he has been
the driving force to acquire funding to
build four large drainable ponds that the
two-inch walleye are reared in.
Randy and his staff work equally as
hard on acquiring leases to over 30 ponds to
grow out walleye fry which are harvested
in the fall. This dedication has provided
countless hours of angling pleasure for the
reservation’s anglers. In a typical year
Randy and staff conduct fishery surveys on
10-15 lakes and each lake managed by the
WENRD is surveyed at least very fourth
year. During the winter, management plans
are updated on each lake surveyed during
that year.
In addition to conducting fishery surveys, rearing walleye, trapping fingerling
walleye the fishery staff test for winterkill
on managed lakes and walleye rearing
ponds. Randy also provides recommendations on commercial harvest, netting regulations and angling regulations for the
White Earth Conservation Code. Leechtrapping is monitored and regulated by his
department. Funding proposals and grants
are also his responsibility and he does an
excellent job on securing funds for his
department and special projects.
Randy has also initiated an effort to
restore lake sturgeon to the White Earth
Reservation. He has worked cooperatively
with the Fish and Wildlife Service, Rainy
River First Nations - Canada, White Earth

Wanted
Runners needed for Honor the Youth Spiritual Run 2
A new Native Youth Crisis Hotline tollfree number was announced Aug. 17 during
the kickoff for the “Honor the Youth
Spiritual Run 2005” in the Twins Cities.
The run was intended to bring awareness to the growing problem of Native
American youth suicide, drug and alcohol
addiction, and violence.
After prayers, a feast, a youth speak out
and other activities, the run began at midnight, starting at the Wolves Den in
Minneapolis and continued cross state, passing through Mille Lacs and Leech Lake
Reservations and Bemidji before ending
Aug. 21 on the Red Lake Reservation during
the Red Lake Fair.
Due to the huge success of that run,
organizers are preparing for “Honor the
Youth Spiritual Run 2: Red Lake to Standing
Rock” on Oct. 18-23. Part of that run will
include White Earth Reservation.
The run will start at midnight at Red
Lake and then proceed through Rice Lake,
Naytahwaush, White Earth and end up at
Callaway at 4:30 p.m. The runners will then
return to the Shooting Star Casino Event
Center for a feast and speak out. The runners will leave the next day from Callaway
at 6 a.m. and proceed to Wahpeton, N.D.
White Earth organizers are looking for
runners to participate. Anyone can sign up
to run a 1/2 mile or the entire 500 miles.
Community volunteers are also needed help
pass out water, juice, energy bars throughout the race. Donations are also welcome.
For more information call White Earth
Diabetes Project Director Monte Fox and his
staff at (218) 983-3285.
Come join us for this worthwhile event remember the whole idea is to promote the
youth crisis hotline and create awareness
about violence, drugs and crisis issues on
behalf of our youth.
Native youth between the ages of 15-24
years of age are at three times higher risk of
committing suicide than any other
racial/ethnic group in the country. In
Minnesota the rate is nearly twice as high as
any other racial/ethnic group. Drugs
and/or alcohol use are the norm for many
Native youth on and off the reservations.
Organizers are in
the process of
finalizing the
Honor the Youth
Spiritual Run 2:
Red Lake to
Standing Rock on
Oct. 18-23. The
run is intended to
bring awareness
to the growing
problem of Native
American youth
suicide, drug and
alcohol addiction,
and violence.

Council signs off on White Earth Nation
Registration of Predatory Offenders Code
On Sept. 6, the White Earth Tribal
Council signed into law the White Earth
Nation Registration of Predatory Offenders
Code.
This new tribal code will fill in a gap
between state and tribal statutes requiring
the registration of Indian people who reside
within the boundaries of the White Earth
Reservation and who have been convicted
of a serious so-called predatory offense.
This new law will be enforced in White
Earth Tribal Court.
The White Earth Nation and other tribes
in the state are currently working on a
memorandum of understanding with the
State of Minnesota regarding the sharing of
information and access to information
regarding such offenders. White Earth is
also seeking assistance from the State of
Minnesota with the cost of incarcerating
individuals who violate this new law.
White Earth Chairwoman Erma J.
Vizenor stated, “Ensuring the safety of all
persons residing on the reservation is
always at the top of our priority list. This
new law seeks to fill a void created by the
interpretation of Public Law 280 by the
Minnesota Court of Appeals. We agree
with the decision of the Minnesota Court of
Appeals and believe they have correctly
interpreted the law.”

Obituary
Anishinaabeg Today
Dr. ‘Em’ Johnson helped save White Earth IHS
White Earth Reservation lost a good
friend recently when Dr. Emery “Em”
Johnson past away. Johnson was an strong
advocate for Indian people and he helped
save the White Earth IHS program from
being closed by congress.
Johnson was born in Sioux Falls,
S.D., and was adopted as an infant
by loving parents in Warren,
Minn. He spent his childhood
and youth in Warren before
departing
for
Hamline
University in St. Paul for premed studies. After completing
those studies he entered the
University
of
Minnesota
Medical School and he graduated second in his class.
Shortly after his graduation in
1954, he and Nancy Mourning were
married and just recently celebrated
their 51st year of life together. After completing his internship that same year he
joined the Public Health Service, Indian
Health Service and was assigned to a 10 bed
hospital at White Earth. While stationed at
White Earth their first son, Steven was born.
The next assignment was as Medical
Officer in Charge of the 75 bed Indian
Hospital at Winnebago, Neb., where their
second son, Scott was born. In 1959, came a
move to Phoenix, where he became the
Medical Officer in Charge of the Phoenix
Indian Medical Center. Two daughters,
Jennifer and Jill were born in Phoenix.
Again another move, this time to
Berkeley, Calif., where he earned a Master of
Public Health in 1964. Also in 1964, came
the move to Billings, Mont., where he
served as the Indian Health Area Director.
While in that assignment, his connection to
the Indian people was confirmed when he
was adopted into the Crow tribe and given

the name "Walks with the Eagle."
In 1966, the move was to Silver Spring,
Md., to serve as Chief of Program Services
before being appointed Deputy Director.
He assumed the leadership of the Indian
Health Service as the Director in 1969 and
served in that capacity until 1981.
“It was Dr. Johnson who established the Bemidji Area Office in
1974,” said John B. Buckanaga.
Buckanaga was selected to be
the first area director of the
newly established office.
There are 12 area offices
nationally.
“He was the first IHS
director to employ Indian personnel as area directors. He
was also responsible for keeping
White Earth intact as an IHS health
program,” recalled Buckanaga. “In the
1970s, White Earth, Cheyenne River, S.D.
and Parker, Ariz., where ticketed for closure
by congressional mandate. Dr. Johnson
saved White Earth from total closure and in
1981, we justified a new facility for White
Earth.”
He worked tirelessly for legislation to
impact the health care of American Indians
and Alaskan Natives. The legislation that
pleased him the most was the Indian SelfDetermination and Education Acts which
provided a pathway for Indian people to
take control of their own destiny.
“Dr. Johnson made sure White Earth
was not to be forgotten,” said Buckanaga.
“As the National IHS Director he came
home to White Earth for his vacations and
visited many of his former staff and
patients. He was well respected by Indian
people everywhere.”

Crime prevention tips for area caregivers
Hate and bias motivated crime are not a
new problem on the White Earth
Reservation, or anywhere in the United
States. Crimes due to differences of skin
color, religion, ethnicity, disability and all
things that make each of us unique have
been on this earth throughout history. To
begin eliminating this problem for our children, here are some things that we can do:
Ô Bring books, tapes, toys and other items
that reflect diverse cultures into your home.
Ô Show that you value diversity through
your friendships and business relationships.
Ô Enforce an attitude that someone’s differences are never an acceptable reason for
teasing or rejecting.
Ô Provide opportunities for you and your
family to interact with others who are racial-
ly, culturally, physically, or mentally different.
Ô Listen to your children’s questions about
others and answer them honestly.
Ô Encourage your children to get involved
in all sorts of activities, whether or not they
are traditionally male, female, or culturally
related.
Ô Make it clear to your children that when
they make a racial, ethnic, or religious slur
that these comments are not acceptable
behavior.
Activities that may encourage diversity
are school culture clubs, visits to museums,
art galleries, reading (National Geographic,
there is a publication for children), watching
shows which reflect diversity, and being an
example to our future leaders.

Now Hear This...
By Harry Hutchens
Clearwater County Veterans Service Officer
Purple Heart recipients are now eligible
for eye glasses, contact lenses and hearing
aids
The VA has modified Title 38, CFR Part
17, to extend sensori-neural aids to Veterans
who have been awarded the Purple Heart
Medal. The Federal Register, Volume 69,
Number 115 dated June 16, 2004 reads:
“Summary:
This
rule
amends
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations concerning sensori-neural
aids. An existing regulation authorizes VA
to provide sensori-neural aids (i.e.: eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids) to
seven specific groups of Veterans identified
in the regulation. The first four groups consist of Veterans with the highest priority for
care under the VA's enrollment system,
generally those with compensable serviceconnected disabilities, former Prisoners of
9
War, and those receiving increased VA pension based on their being housebound or in
need of regular aid and attendance. Since
this rule was first published, Congress
changed the law to provide that Veterans
awarded the Purple Heart should have priority equal to former prisoners of war
under VA's enrollment system. The intended effect of this final rule is to amend the
regulation to allow Veterans in receipt of a
Purple Heart to receive sensori-neural aids.
Effective date: July 16, 2004.”
I will be at the Rice Lake Community
Center on Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., to
provide a continued monthly presence in
focused service to the veterans of White
Earth.
For more information call (218) 6946618 or email [email protected]. Or stop for a visit Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at
213 Main Ave. North in Bagley.
New summer lake homes and ATV trails
proposed for White Earth Reservation
By Tracy Hruska
White Earth Land Recovery Project
New summer and recreational homes
combined with a 70-mile ATV trail in the Ice
Cracking and Round Lake area promise
more access to the White Earth Reservation.
The south side of Ice Cracking Lake,
adjoining Tea Cracker Lake is being proposed for a subdivision of lots, as are a
number of lakes in our region.
In addition, the Becker County Parks
and Recreation Committee has plans to
construct a 70-mile ATV trail on tax-forfeited land in North and South Round Lake
Townships. The design will soon be
reviewed by the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (MN DNR) Trails and
Waterways Unit, where it will have to
undergo an environmental assessment and
approval procedure before receiving funding and a final go-ahead. If the plan is
approved, trail clearing could start as early
as next spring and the trail could be ready
by fall 2007.
The new trail would form a continuous
loop comprised of many small loops and
spurs that zigzag their way by Ice Cracking,
Round, and Polish Lakes on its way
through the two townships. The trail will
also come close enough to provide easy—
though unplanned—access to East Round
Lake Road and Boy Scout Camp. At present, most tribal members are not ATV
users, and it is likely that more non-tribal
members will have access to forests, wetlands and other areas of our reservation,
although tribal members will also have
access to these trails. At least 50 miles of
new trails will be cleared, and ATVs will
also have access to all existing forest roads
and snowmobile trails, which are notoriously difficult to close effectively.
Historically, ATVs have had a poor
record in terms of environmental impact
and noise pollution. It is likely that
increased ATV traffic in the area would
have a detrimental effect on the wildlife
and ecology of what is a rich landscape.
Wetlands, streams, game animals will be
affected.
“I’m concerned about the medicinal
plants in our area, which don’t do well
being driven over by ATVs. I’m also generally concerned about the impact of more
traffic from people who know little about
where the eagles or osprey live, and what to
respect on this land” said Winona LaDuke
of East Round Lake Road.
Becker County commissioners are currently accepting input from the community
for or against the trail before submitting
their plan to the MN DNR. If public opinion
is strong enough the proposal could be halted before being submitted for funding. The
commissioners need to hear most from the
two Round Lake townships, who will be
the communities most affected by the proposed trail. Letters can be sent to:

DL man competes in poker tourney
In his own words, Detroit Lakes
resident Glen Bucholz “read his last
opponent perfectly” but read another “perfectly wrong” when he gambled it all and lost on the fourth day
of the July 7-16 World Series of
Poker
No-Limit
Hold
’em
Championship held at the Rio All
Suite Hotel and Casino.
The Shooting Star Casino in
Mahnomen covered Bucholz’s
$10,000 entry fee and flew him and
his wife, Twyla, to Las Vegas to play
in the championship, according to a
news release from the casino.
“About an hour before I busted
out, I heard the announcer say there
were 1,100 players left in the tournament, so I figure I finished
around 1,000th place,” said
Bucholz. “. . . I’m happy I lasted as
long as I did in the ultimate poker
event in the world,” he added. “I
finished ahead of three-fourths of
the full-time pros.”
“For a person who is an experienced poker player but not a full-
time or devoted professional on the
tournament circuit, Glen finished
really well,” noted Marge Rogers,
Shooting Star table games manager.
Bucholz was holding a pair of
pocket sevens when he put all his
chips on the table against an opponent, who had nearly lost all his
chips to Bucholz in an earlier hand.
“He (the opponent) only had a king
and a three in the pocket,” Bucholz
explained, “but another guy with
pocket queens called me and that
was that.”
The largest hand that Bucholz
won was from that earlier hand for
$20,000 when he A remarkable 5,619
poker players signed up for the
$10,000 buy-in main event, which
doled out nearly $53 million in total
prize money to the top 560 players.
Bucholz became eligible to enter the
main event after he won a qualifying poker tournament held at
Shooting Star, which sponsors one
entrant a year to play in the main
World Series of Poker event.

Student News
Andrew Tibbetts of Naytahwaush attended the
Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR)
program for freshman and transfer students at Bemidji
State University in July. Tibbetts is a freshman.
SOAR is a day-long orientation program that gives students the opportunity to meet individually with an academic advisor, undergo academic assessment, evaluate class
placement recommendations, identify University academic expectations, be involved in small group discussions
focusing on residential and campus life, and register for
Fall classes.

three years of clean audits, no debt. Because
White Earth has been ahead of the debt
repayment plan, I will request a waiver on
the three years of clean audits from the Office
of Self Governance. Self governance allows
tribes to truly exercise self determination.
White Earth is the only non-self governance
tribe in Minnesota.
Indian Health Service (IHS)
Ron and I met with top officials at IHS in
Rockville, Md. I addressed the appalling
disparity of federal IHS funds to the Bemidji
Area Office which directly impacts health
care at White Earth. The Bemidji Area Office
is funded at 43 percent of need, the lowest in
the country. Other areas receive far more.
I could not help but feel anger at the disparity and injustice of funding. I told IHS
officials that I am angry because my tribe is
suffering from second and third rate health
care. We have good, dedicated health care
providers but they are strapped by lack of
funds.
I know there are long lists of people waiting for referrals and necessary surgeries.
Over 1,000 patients wait for dental care. I
will take all avenues, including legal action,
to change the disparity of federal funds. I will
hold public hearings at White Earth to document the impact of inadequate funds and
health care. Adequate health care is our
fundamental right.
Wild Rice
I have requested assistance from
Congressman Collin Peterson, the Ranking
Member of the House Agricultural
Committee to develop the processing and
marketing of wild rice.
The tribal council is the largest buyer of
wild rice. Five years ago our wild rice harvesters had no place to sell their rice so the
tribe stepped in to buy their rice. The tribe
now buys, processes, and distributes wild
rice at cost only to schools, nutrition programs, Shooting Star Casino, and other entities. There is a need to expand wild rice into
a more profitable market.
Congressman Peterson is a good friend of
Anishinaabeg Today
White Earth. The Congressman told me that
when he was state senator he made wild rice
the state grain in Minnesota.
American Indian Veterans
I have requested the funding for a
Veterans Service Officer to be located on the
White Earth Reservation. Do you know that
25 percent of all Indians serve in the U.S.
military, yet receive least amount of benefits? That is more than any group in this
country. I will do everything possible to help
our Indian veterans who sacrificed for us to
enjoy freedom.
The Rising Costs of Fuel
I have requested aid for rising costs of
heating fuel. Last year tribal members on
fuel assistance ran out of benefits in midwinter. The tribal council put forth nearly
$500,000 in supplemental fuel assistance.
This year will be a crisis. According to
reports, fuel costs are projected to rise 50
percent.
Circle of Life School
I have requested more funds for the construction of a new K-12 school. To date,
approximately $4 million has been appropriated to construct a K-12 school in 2008. The
funds are unrealistic and inadequate. Our
young people deserve much more.
Other visits in Washington were: Housing
and Urban Development and Federal
Transportation.
I formally invited both Senators Mark
Dayton and Norm Coleman to the White
Earth Reservation. They should see firsthand
our needs. On the front line, they are our
voices in Congress.
On Friday, Sept. 23, I was honored to
speak on Constitutional Reform at the
Minnesota American Indian Bar Association
in Minneapolis. Tribal constitutional reform
is a priority to accomplish during my term
in office. It is necessary to ensure stability,
fairness, due process and separation of powers in government.
With all of that, I say God Bless all. You
are in my prayers.

In Loving Memory of Alvin (Gweez) Potter
who passed away three years ago on Oct. 3, 2002
For the wonderful man that was in my life, until God took you home.
I’m so glad Alvin that I had you in my life for many years. I am glad I had
you to hold my hand, to share my dreams and understand. I was glad to
have you to make me smile, to have some fun and laugh awhile. I was glad
I had you to dry my tears, to hear my thoughts and calm
my fears. I was glad I had you to help me cope, to share
your strength and you gave me hope. For all you were
and all you did, I am so glad that I had you as long as I
did.
With wonderful thoughts and love – I miss you a lot.

In Loving Memory of my dear lady friend Hazel L. Auginaush

Hazel, it’s already been 14 years since I held your hand and said “goodbye.” I wish it would of never happened but we don’t have the say of that
– but we will meet again.
Hazel, I will always thank you for your wonderful arms that were
always wide open when I came to visit you - your humor that kept my
heart light, your wonderful food that kept my belly full, and mine that kept
yours full, we always shared and
we always ate.
Most of all, I thank you for
being a woman of faith and loving
me no matter what people had to
say, and thank you for holding
hands and touching my heart, I
miss you so much.
Your lady friend

Dear Officer [Duane] Brownlee:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
assisting me in a lock out of my vehicle on two different
occasions. The first being in Waubun, in which none of the
city police or Mahnomen County officers would assist me.
But you came from White Earth after dealing with another
incident there to assist me. The second being in Ogema and
you were there within five minutes from being dispatched
from Bev Johnson. It is nice to have someone like you on the
White Earth Police force when assistance is needed for those
certain circumstances. Again, thank you very much.
