PBJ secretary Helen Hoyt just couldn’t resist the fun of making a Houdek sundae, with more whipped
topping, chocolate syrup and a cherry on top.
The city insurance bid was
awarded to MayPort Insurance and
Realty, the sole bidder for the contract, at the Mayville City Council
meeting March 2. Dennis Peterson,
representing the firm, attended the
meeting and presented the details
of the bid which included coverage
for the city, the fire department and
the park board. The policy incudes
liability, umbrella, inland marine,
auto and public official liability.
The policy for the coming year
beginning March 17, 2015, carries
a premium of $20,082 which is a
couple hundred over last year’s
premium, according to Peterson.
The city added the new fire truck,
the snowblower and truck this last
year. The city had only one claim
but it was withdrawn, said Peterson, who also reported that $3,000
had been returned to the city by the
North Dakota Insurance Reserve
Fund. The amount of refund is
based on the amount of statewide
claims paid to members of the
fund.
A review of the contract the
city has with the North Dakota
Department of Transportation for
Highway 200 through the city calls
for the city to assist in paying for
seal coating to be done this summer. According to a letter received
from the DOT, the bidding for the
seal coating will be done in March.
The estimated cost of the project
through the city is $46,830 with the
city’s 10 percent share to be $4,683.
This also includes engineering and
railroad flagging. Funds for the
project could come from sales tax
infrastructure, according to Auditor
Olstad.
The ND DOT has annual federal
funds available for safety enhancements projects for rail/highway
crossings. The suggestion was
made that the crossing on First
Street NE would be a strong candidate for the project. The federal
funds for the project would be 90
percent with the city paying the
remaining 10 percent. Mayor Don
Moen volunteered to draft a letter
of application to be sent to the
DOT.
The city has received the report
from KLJ on strategic planning for
Legislature enters crossover ‘after one period’
By James R. Johnson
The tough news is that the
North Dakota House budget for
higher education “is not good for
Mayville State,” according to Dist.
20 Representative Rick Holman.
The better news is that the
North Dakota Legislature is only
one-third of the way through its
2015 session. Holman likened it
to the end of the first period of a
hockey game.
On a continued positive note,
Holman told more than two dozen
educators at a March 2 legislative
forum at Mayville State University
that he senses “a different tone” in
the Legislature as the House bills
cross over to the Senate and vice
versa.
His District 20 colleague, Rep.
Gail Mooney, said work on many
bills, especially addressing behavioral health, “has been hugely
bipartisan” and there’s a moderate core group of Democrats and
Republicans “willing to work
together.”
However, Holman said the
House higher ed bill has modified
the funding formula, creating “inequities that are not needed.”
He said the House bill doesn’t
credit Mayville State for remedial
teaching, nor does it acknowledge
increased enrollment at MSU.
“Our charge was to grow as a
campus,” said MSU President Gary
Hagen, who also pointed out that
MSU is nationally recognized as an
attractive yet affordable campus.
Mooney said she hears from fellow legislators that Mayville State
“is the poster child for efficiency,”
yet those lawmakers favor a North
Dakota University System funding formula that penalizes smaller
schools. Mooney anticipates indepth arguments now that the bill
goes to the Senate.
“There’s a lot of come-frombehind work to do with the Senate
to get back to the original formula,”
Mooney said.
Holman said politics has
changed the way the House looks
at budgets.
“In the past, we looked at
the governor’s proposal, which
takes care of inflation,” Holman
explained. “Now we’re no longer
looking at the governor’s proposal,
but prior years’ spending, when
there were fewer students. The
higher ed budget we passed is
lower than the governor’s budget,
but it’s still an increase, so there are
games being played.”
Asked about Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s influence, both Holman and
Dist. 20 Senator Phil Murphy noted
that the state constitution prohibits
the governor from threatening a
veto.
Murphy said, “His head and
heart are in the right place, but he’s
fighting a real radical right wing.”
One-third of the higher ed
budget comes from state money.
Following up Holman’s hockey
reference, Hagen stated, “It’s way
too early.”
Holman assured the group,
”We’ll focus on what we can do for
Mayville State.”
Murphy expressed disappointment with a bill aimed at universal
pre-K education.
“The Senate is sending a very
minimal bill to the House. If communities are ready for it, it could
handle about one-third of the kids
for about one-third of the time
at about one-third of the cost,”
Murphy told the Tribune. “I think if
East Dakota and West Dakota were
states, East Dakota would have
joined the other 44 states that have
The west-side door, wall and stairwell of the Traill County Tribune
were damaged early Saturday morning when a motorist allegedly
drove through the stop sign at Highways 18 and 200 and crashed into
the building.
A motorist allegedly drove through the stop sign intersection of N.D.
Highway 200 and N.D. Highway 18 in Mayville and crashed his vehicle
into the west side of the Traill County Tribune building during the earlymorning hours of Feb. 28.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol said that 49-year-old Jon Lundwall
of Hatton, N.D., was traveling north on 18 in a 2004 Honda Civic. He told
the patrol that he “fell asleep at the wheel and does not remember details
of the crash,” which occurred at 1:49 a.m.
Lundwall was taken by West Traill Ambulance to Sanford-Mayville,
where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The patrol said he
will be charged with DUI and driving without liability insurance.
The good news is that the state
was expected to direct deposit
$2,555,676.84 from the North
Dakota Legislature’s surge bill into
Traill County’s account March 6.
Corwyn Martin, county road superintendent, said it will likely be
April before he and engineers from
Kadrmas, Lee and Jackson come up
with projections of “what would be
the best fit” for those funds.
Martin also told the March 3
meeting of the Traill County Commission that he followed up on
costs for installing railroad crossing
arms where Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks intersect at
County Road 3. He said the North
Dakota Department of Transportation quoted a price tag between
$300,000 and $400,000, for which
Traill County would be responsible
for 10%.
Martin said commissioners
won’t have to make a decision until
traffic counts at the County 3 intersection come in from BNSF.
Commissioners were surprised
by a bill for $17,810 presented to
the road department for culvert
work done by the Traill County
Water Board. Martin said he didn’t
budget for that much and can pay
about half of the charges.

resistance all over the state. I believe that we can work with childcare people and Head Start to make

and here at Mayville State.”
Support for human services
Holman said there are 599 bills
still alive, half in the Senate, half in
the house.
Mooney said that number
includes seven bills addressing the
need to have a support system in
place for behavioral/mental health.

the city. While the report is quite
lengthy, it’s broken down into five
primary areas; community vision,
housing, economic development
and business succession, community engagement, and infrastructure.
The report gives highlights of each
of the areas and its objectives and
looks at the city objectively, noting
the strengths and weaknesses.
More information will be coming
from KLJ in the near future, according to Olstad.
“There’s a public conception
that we are doing nothing,” said
Councilman Merv Carlson, referring a replacement for a recently
closed business. “We are trying to
do something within our limits.”
Council members stressed that the
stories, Facebook, etc., are contributing to the negativism, almost as a
disease that is spreading. “We need
to talk about the successes and not
about failure. We need to work on
a positive narrative,” Councilman
Larry O’Brien said. “We have had
new houses built in Riverwood.”
Closing ALCO was not a decision
Commissioners agreed detailed
paperwork and an estimate are
needed from the Water Board in
writing, and the bill is being pulled
aside until they receive it.
Stuart Larson, county state’s attorney, recommended that a formal
letter be sent to the Water Board
requesting that specifics on road
projects be submitted no later than
when department budgets are due.
Larson said the lack of communication “has happened before.
This is the only way you’re going
to get a handle on it.”
Commissioners also moved
to have the highway department
write off a bill of $85 from 2012 that
was never signed for equipment
that was never picked up. A 30inch band was apparently charged
to Chad’s Excavating, but the business never picked it up.
Commissioner Ken Nesvig
asked Martin to check a crossing
in Bohnsack Township. Nesvig
said he’s been told bus drivers are
hesitant to cross bridges 254 and
255 because of load limits.
Commissioners moved to pay a
premium of more than $56,000 for
$2 million of insurance coverage
for county equipment from Erickson Agency. Cole Short explained
the cost was about $1,800 higher
from last year because there were
more equipment purchases by the
county.
A meeting with legislators
The commission meeting adjourned for 45 minutes and reconvened in the Community Room,
where all department heads were
invited for a Q & A with District
20 legislators Rick Holman, Gail
Mooney and Phil Murphy.
Murphy acknowledged that the
surge fund bill had been reduced
from $3.5 million to $2.5 million,
and the amount for townships was
nipped from $10,000 to $8,000.
Holman reported that the House
is keeping expenditures as low as
possible, as bills begin to cross over
to the Senate.
“We’ve lowered the governor’s
proposal on just about everything,”
Holman said. He expects activity will pick up following a report
March 18 from Moody’s Analytics,
which provides economic research
regarding risk, performance and
financial modeling.
Mooney talked about road
safety, with the House favoring
education through a public-private campaign called “Share The
Roads.”
Stuart Larson later said technol-

Kudos to the Caring Club
Marlys Hlavinka named ‘Outstanding Rural Health Volunteer’
By James R. Johnson
In December 1994, Marlys
Hlavinka spent a lot of time in
what was then Union Hospital in
Mayville. Her mother had fallen
and broken her femur and the rod
in her leg for a second time and
had to learn to walk again.
Get-well cards filled the table in
her hospital room as well as those
of other patients.
“One day I met a woman from
Finley who recycled cards for their
senior center,” Marlys recalls.
That was the start of the Caring
Club. Marlys and 21 community
ladies approached the hospital
about making cards to sell for the
hospital, which obliged with the
purchase of the card stock and
envelopes, which were stored in
her mother’s hospital room.
By 1998, the Caring Club was
able to manage its bank account
on its own. The recycled cards,
displayed in the Sanford Hospital
lobby, cost about a quarter to make
and sell for 75 cents, “but most of
the money we make comes from
dish towels,” Marlys said. “We
have about 800 made by Caring
Club members in their homes.”
Marlys is one of two surviving
members from that original group
of 21 years ago, but the Caring
Club maintains more than 20
members who meet Thursday afternoons to make 30-to-40 recycled
cards and plan silent auctions,
bake sales and craft sales to raise
funds for needed hospital equipment. It’s been their ritual through
the evolution of Union Hospital to
Merit Care and finally into Sanford
Medical-Mayville. At one time,
Caring Club members sold tickets
for a painting of Rainbow Garden.
“We visit those who are ill,”
Marlys said. “Several new people
have joined us to either make
cards or embroider dish towels.
We also like to widen our group
with new people who have just
moved to town.”
Their care extends to children
who come in as patients “by
giving them each a cuddly toy,”
Marlys said. “Now, we have
changed to giving them books.”
The toys and stuffed animals
are shared with children up to the
age of five in Sanford-Mayville’s
WIC (Women, Infants and Chil-
dren) supplemental nutrition
program.
The hospital has given the Caring Club a southwest-corner basement room, complete with cabinets and shelves to keep materials.
“We make good use of all the
storage since we order 1,000 pieces
of card stock and envelopes at a
time,” Marlys said. “We order 100
to 200 dish towels at a time. We
feel we have a small business going on.”
Hospital equipment the Caring
Club has helped finance since 1997
includes an aquarium, interior
decorations and valances for the
upper-floor family room, TV sets
for Sanford-Mayville rooms, three
La-Z-Boy recliners, mattress pads
for the beds, laundry machines,
a fax machine, printer, a bariatric
bed and chair, a walk-in bathtub,
and exercise steps.
That’s just a short list. All told,
the Caring Club in its 21 years
has contributed to about $100,000
worth of improvements at the
hospital, “personal touches,” as
phrased by Bill Krivarchka, director for AHEC (Area Health Education Center) in eastern North
Dakota.
“They have put their heart and
soul into giving back to the hospital,” Krivarchka told the Tribune.
“It’s such a fun thing for them to
do.”
Roger Baier, Sanford-Mayville
administrator, can’t say enough
about Caring Club.
“One thing they’re not afraid
about doing is they’ll come and
ask for a project and no matter
what it is, they tackle that project with a smile,” Baier told the
Tribune. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a
patient bed or something behind
the scenes, they take on the project
with enthusiasm, and what a tremendous effort they put forth.”
State recognition
Hlavinka continues to be the
chief organizer of this generous
group.
The Dakota Conference on
Rural and Public Health recognizes community members “who
unselfishly commit their energy,
time and skills to improve the
health of their rural North Dakota
community,” according to its chair,
Lynette Dickson.
The conference will present
Marlys with the “Outstanding Rural Health Volunteer” award June
3 in Minot.
“First of all, I don’t know why
I’m getting this award,” Marlys
says modestly. She prefers to talk
about Caring Club and its behindthe-scenes work as a whole, the
unselfish efforts of its volunteers.
“I know that when we made
the announcement, there were a
lot of tears in the eyes,” Krivarchka said.
More than a dozen people
have signed up to take a bus out
to Minot to see Marlys accept the
award.
“It has a lot to do with the
respect that Dr. Del Hlavinka and
Marlys Hlavinka have brought
to the community. I think it’s a
fun time for them,” Krivarchka
expressed. “The AHEC is about
recruiting and retaining our health
care force in our rural community and I think by what they and
Caring Club do, that helps the
process.”
Baier says Marlys is “definitely
deserving of the award. She is
a trooper. She’s able to keep the
women enthused. They come
in and go down the hallway on
Thursdays and you can just hear
The sale of recycled greeting cards has contributed to the Caring
Club raising more than $100,000 over 21 years for hospital equipment and projects.

state jails and prisons are swelling
beyond capacity because so many
mental health cases default to the
Department of Corrections.
Mooney said the perception is,
“Do you treat or do you imprison?
Now the numbers are in from states
across the country that have invested in systems, dollar-for-dollar,
for treatment and prevention.”
Mooney said some House bills
look to redefine traumatic head
injuries and help people who have
suffered from them to return to
work.
Mooney said there are several House bills covering human
trafficking, “which is playing out
across North Dakota, not just in the
West, but in our backyards.”
Mooney also emphasized the recent signing of the surge fund bill,
which kicks more than $2.5 million
to Traill County for infrastructure.

Olstad reported that house plans
submitted by Johnson for Riverwood Lot 5 and one-half of Lot 4
in Block 3 had been approved and
met all required covenants and city
requirements. The city council had
approved the sale at a previous
meeting contingent on approval
by the Planning and Zoning and
Riverwood committees.
Auditor Gail Olstad informed
the council that a request had been
received from the Pit Stop Bar in
Clifford for three license transfers at
$25 each for the coming year. This
is one less than last year, according
to Olstad. Kol Balstad of Stub’s Bar
had requested one license transfer
for the Mayville Firemen’s fundraiser set for Saturday, March 14.
The auditor’s office had approved
the requests.
The auditor’s financial report
was not completed by the March 1
deadline due to several issues related to the crash of the server and
changes in officer personnel. Olstad
asked for and received approval of
the restated financial statements for
April and May of 2014.
Mayor Moen reminded the
council members of the new

were located as there was not a
map on the new brochures. The
new website does contain a map,

When questioned on the progress of bringing natural gas to rural
North Dakota, Murphy said the
county’s low population base and
the lack of an industrial user still
make it cost-prohibitive. He said
the area could use a plastics or technology plant.
“We need pipelines,” he
stressed.
Holman and Murphy acknowledged the number of pumping oil
wells in western North Dakota has
dropped from about 180 to 120,
which will proportionately lower
tax revenue from North Dakota oil.
Holman concluded the forum
urging communication with the
legislators. He said to watch for
sensationalism in the larger newspaper headlines that’s meant to sell
papers.
“Contact us and we’ll clarify
them for you,” Holman said.

Chattin’ with Donna Mae Olson
“In like a lamb, out like a lion.”
“Late winter, early spring.”
These quips are attempting to
foretell the unpredictable phenomenon called weather. I’ve often
wondered why in late winter the
snow is old and sickly looking and
everybody tracks in what resembles mud.
According to our weatherman, the snow is crusted from the
strong March sun. It’s almost like
the snow gets sunburned. Instead
of flakes, the middle of the snowpack is more like an unstructured
powder. With the thawing weather
later on this month, the snow will
become more granular and dirty as
it mixes with the thawing soil.
Late winter, early spring is not
a pretty time of the year. Mr. Frost
says, “‘Icy’ you!” Ha.
According to the Forum, we can
expect five things to look forward
to in March: warmer weather,
longer days (don’t forget to “spring
ahead” in your time come Sunday,
March 8), probably no flooding this
year, spring break, and March Madness. We’ll wait and see if they’re
correct.
We know for sure the following
seniors will be celebrating their
birthdays this month: Ken Eken (4),
Emma Thykeson (9), Sandy Eliason
(11), Ray Bakke (12), Sheila Gulson
(19), Kazia Gummer (19), Shirley
Nelson (20), Betty Holkesvig (22),
Lenny Aamold (28), and Patty
Grandalen (29).
Judy and Richard Beck celebrated their anniversary March 1.
Belated congratulations!
Our flower of the month is the
jonquil, with the birthstone being
aquamarine.
The events happening in early
March are the “Together We Can
Solve Hunger” benefit supper;
“Soup’s On” will be held from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, March 15
at the Hatton Community Center,
with a free-will offering to go to
the Northlands Rescue Mission in
Grand Forks.
Our Lady of Peace Church will
host a fish fry from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
Friday, March 13.
Events later during April and
even on into the fall are (mark them
on your calendar):
• Aurdal men’s supper from 5 to
7 p.m. April 1. The menu includes
meatballs, mashed potatoes, corn
and dessert; and
• Mayville Lutheran “Trash and
Treasure” sale and bake sale, April
15-17.
Our circle at Aurdal met today
and one of the members had made
a cherry dessert. She quipped, “Yes,
and I used the cherries from the
tree that George chopped down.”
How many of you read for a
certain length of time on National
Reading Day? My hubby has been
reading since Christmas and, as of

making it a habit. It’s a good one.

A woman, shocked at the behavior of her friend’s child, said,
“Doesn’t your son swear terribly?”
“He sure as heck does,” the

it at all!”
One more: “Old friends are the
best; they know everything about
you but can’t remember it.”
Singing rounds in music class
was a fun time and it actually
taught them unison singing in
various units. We always did them
at least one holiday day once a
month. The round for March went
like this (try it):
“Fiddle tune, fiddle play,
Fiddle for St. Patrick’s Day.
Tell of shamrock, fair to see,
Tell of Blarney’s mystery,
Tell about the fairy ring,
Fiddle sing, fiddle play,
Fiddle for St. Patrick’s Day.”

great-grandma and friend passed

(Maynard, deceased) Strand will
be remembered as we remember to

funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 7 at Aurdal Church,
burial in Aurdal Cemetery.
There will be an open house at

May you never want for more.

were just getting their feet wet.
Last week they had the secondmost-added song on country radio!
I think they are going to be going strong by July,” stated Bryan
Schulz, general manager.
Schulz is pleased with the
strong country artists booked
for 2015. Craig Morgan will be a
highlight on Military Appreciation Day scheduled for Thursday,
July 9. Military personnel and their
families will be given discounted
admission prices for that day. Lee
Brice has had four #1 songs since
2011 and his latest hit “Drinking Class” is currently a top-ten
song. Hard rock band Halestorm
is scheduled for Saturday, July 11.
They received a Grammy Award
in 2012 for Best Hard Rock/Metal
Performance and their third album,
“Into the Wildlife,” will be released
on April 7, 2015.
The philosophy of paying a
gate admission and all shows are
free has proved to be a success.
With attendance reaching over
120,000 in recent years, the 2015 fair
is expected to draw large numbers
once again.
“We strive to keep the fair
affordable for everyone. We have
multiple gate admission discounts
and coupons available. Adult admission is only $10 per day. Where
in this town can you see animals,
exhibits and grandstand shows for
that price? It really is a great family
getaway,” Schulz expressed.
First Community Credit Union
celebrates Salute to Veterans Week
First Community Credit Union
(FCCU) celebrated Salute to Veterans Week Feb. 9-13 with several
community activities.
More than 200 Valentine’s Day
cards were decorated by staff and
delivered with candy to currently
deployed North Dakota National
Guard members, family and friends
of staff who are currently deployed
or have served our country, 60 veterans at the VA Hospital in Fargo,
N.D., and 130 veterans at the VA
Home in Lisbon, N.D.
Pee Wee, FCCU’s children’s
mascot, was also busy delivering Valentine’s Day gifts around
Jamestown as a fundraiser for
our veterans. More than $600 was
raised as a result.
FCCU would like to take the
opportunity to thank all of the men
and women who have served our
country over the years. FCCU currently has five employees who have
served in the military.
During its 76-year history, First
Community Credit Union has
grown to be North Dakota’s largest
credit union with 150 employees
and 14 branches whose field of
membership covers approximately
one-third of the state. As a credit
union, FCCU is owned by its members. This is different than other
financial institutions which are
owned by a select group of stockholders. The Credit Union’s profits

residents a chance to get out and
visit – just like they used to do at
the local cafes, gas stations and
senior centers.
Next Thursday, March 12, is
National Registered Dietician Day.
Stacie Nosbusch does an unbelievable job providing wholesome,
nutritious meals for all of our 99+
residents. It is not easy coming up
with three delicious meals every
day for that many people. In addition to Stacie, our kitchen staff
works hard to prepare the recipes
and make sure they arrive hot and
ready at each place setting. A big
round of applause, please, for all of
these hard workers.
March is also National Professional Social Work Month. Jackie
Kraling and Jessica Nelson provide
that service here at LMH. They
are the “go to” people. Both Jackie
and Jessica are always smiling and
make everyone feel welcome –
we’re so glad to have you here.
Next week on Monday it’s all
about food – the food committee meets in the morning and in
the afternoon Kitchen Capers is
making a surprise. Tuesday it’s all
about music – choir in the morning
and rhythm band in the afternoon.
Wednesday (March 11) is our RUM-
MAGE SALE!!! It will be open to
the public from noon to 3 p.m. Why
not stop by and check out our bargains? Thursday is resident council
in the morning and the crafty ladies
will be making foam Easter bunnies
and eggs during craft time in the
afternoon. We also have a special treat when Melanie Joerger’s
piano students perform a recital in
the chapel at 4 p.m. The residents
always look forward to seeing
the youngsters play their special
musical pieces. Friday is church,
popcorn and pretty nails.
There are no resident birthdays
this week but staff members Marcella Biho celebrates on March 9
and Jeric Houdek on March 10.
Our sympathy goes out to the
friends and family of Anna Berg
and Gerald Pietron. Anna passed
away March 1 and was a longtime
resident of our Sun Center Apts.
Jerry passed away March 3 and was
the father of our unit nurse manager, LeeAnn Strand. Jerry enjoyed
visiting with the staff and residents
and our musical activities. Rest in
peace, Anna and Gerald.
Until next time, a thought for
the week: “What lies behind us and
what lies before us is tiny compared to what lies within us.”

Take care and God bless.

March certainly roared in like
a lion but this cold weather is not
keeping us down at LMH. We
have been busy with several activities this week and there are plenty
more scheduled. On Monday the
residents played “Wheel of Fortune” and the activity staff visited
others with our lotion in motion
cart – bringing soothing lotion and
hand massages to the residents
who can’t get out as much. Tuesday was a bean-bag toss (no broken
windows!) in the morning and
rhythm band in the afternoon. Pastor Nathan led Men’s Brotherhood
and Ladies Circle on Wednesday afternoon and we also played Bunco.
Thursday was the grandparent visit
with the Peter Boe third-graders
and they all played Bingo together.
Friday was church, pretty nails and
happy ½ hour.
Every Monday through Friday
we have a dedicated group of
resident “folders” who come early
in the morning to the activity room
to help fold towels and washcloths.
This is a wonderful help and it
saves our laundry staff time. We
also serve coffee every morning in

Hello. everyone, it’s Ronda with
the weekly HPV news.
Well, more cold, no more snow,
first week of March. Only days till
the first day of spring, l call that
winning!
Where do I start? We have a
lot going on at the Village, lots of
exciting changes. First off the construction on the new apartments is
moving right along. We can’t see in
there; due to construction liablilties, it is a no-peek project. They
have cut the holes for the windows
now and assure us they are still
ahead of schedule. The Walls for
Halls are nearing completion, so
it will be nice to get that crossed
off the list. Remember this was
funded through memorials and
donations specified for this project.
The resident room remodel will get
underway shortly, thanks to the
1964 Campaign and your generous
donations. Just like the months, we
are moving right along.
As staff, we are so excited and
thankful to our board of directors.
They decided at the meeting last
week to approve the new flooring
project for the Village. It is a major
project, but one that we feel is very
necessary for the safety of our
residents, as now there will be no
thresholds and only flat surfaces.
There are also many rooms that are
in need of flooring replacement.
This will also be a great look for the
entire building to have the same
flooring. So many thanks to the
board.
Each year we earmark projects
or things that we would like to
have or need to have or replace.
This year, the piano in the chapel
needs replacing. The sound board
is broken and so it has been decided it will be replaced with a black
baby grand piano. This will be a
beautiful addition to our chapel.
So when considering a memorial
or a donation to the Village, please
consider designating it to the piano
fund. The residents so enjoy music,
and many like to make a memorial
or donation to a specific project or
item, so they can see their money
at work. As always, thank you for
supporting the Village. We are so
blessed to be part of a giving and
supportive community!

Opinion and Reflection
Letter
to the Editor
Four-day break
was not a vacation
Last week I had written about
what it is like to vote, so this week
is about what
happens when
we are “off”…
We were dismissed by the
president of
the Senate on
Thursday and I
made it back in
time to attend a
North Mayville State
that
Dakota fundraiser
evening.
It
was
Legislature
good to see
some people
Senator
from home havPhil Murphy
ing a good time
and spending
money for a worthy cause. My
ticket got called as a winner, so I
led my wife up front to choose a
necklace and we went home happy.
Many of the 141 legislators use
this four-day break in the middle
to go far away; I heard of trips to
D.C., Wyoming, Montana, North
Carolina, Florida, etc. Others were
occupied at home and I am sure
my days were similar to many.
Friday was spent getting tax
information together and braising
some meat along with the luxury of
watching UND play hockey against
St. Cloud State from the president’s
suite. We used the trip to Grand
Forks to help our son, who is a
senior at UND, get his taxes done
as well.
Saturday I cooked at a friend’s
birthday supper, so that and Sunday felt like a vacation. Monday I
attended an advertised legislative
forum at Mayville State from about
11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with some questions and answers, then guest-lec-
tured for a college course in North
Dakota Studies from 2 to 3 p.m.
From there I motored up to
Grand Forks again to attend a farm
organization legislative forum/dinner that lasted about three hours
and got home about nine. Tuesday
morning I took off for Bismarck
and stopped in Hillsboro to attend
a legislative forum with our Traill
County Commissioners and other
county officials.
There was time to stop by the
sheriff’s office, greet him, and visit
briefly with Stacy Ernst and her
husband. It had been my honor the
week before to present Stacy with
a Star of Life given to her by the
State Emergency Medical Services
organization. Of the nine awarded
a Star this year, Stacy was the only
one who got it for being primarily
a dispatcher. For over 30 years, I
took my classes of sophomores to
see the dispatcher, who in Traill
County is also the jailer (not only
in the respect that she watches the
TV cell monitors arrayed above her
desk). Besides that, she operates
the 911 system.
My son, a sheriff’s deputy out
in western North Dakota, has told
me of the importance of a competent dispatcher because they need
to keep the location of officers in
mind for safety reasons. If you
get a chance to thank her for her
diligence, I would recommend it. It
was also fun to meet Ken Novacek
and his family. He is an EMT crew
chief from West Traill Ambulance
who was also awarded a Star and
thanked for his dedication. He
and his wife had lived in Buxton,
I believe, but moved to Mayville
around five years ago. We take
them for granted at our peril.
A third down?
Why are so many
things in threes?
Last Friday we attended the
hockey match between UND
and St. Cloud.
Hockey has three
periods, one to
see what the
other team has
to offer, a second
to capitalize on
that knowledge
and the third
in a close
North when,
match like Friday
Dakota
Legislature night, there is
lots of action and
excitement. UND
Representative
won 3-2 but not
Rick Holman
without a flurry
of action at the
UND goal in the last few seconds.
That got me thinking about threes...
Marilyn and I have three children, a long life is considered to
have three stages, basketball has a
three-point play, Christians have a
three-part God. We often talk about
the three-legged stool for taxes and
our first wheeled vehicle likely
had three wheels. Even the North
Dakota legislative session has three
parts.
We are at crossover, the time
when remaining bills move to the
other house for further consideration. The House passed 316 of 470
(67%) introduced while the Senate passed 283 of 378 (75%). Many
call this half-time, but really it’s
only a third of the way. After more
hearings and more votes, legislation that has been altered from
earlier actions will move to the
third period, which may require a
conference committee. The committee will iron out the House/Senate
differences and put the legislation
in a form that will please a majority of legislators and, of course, the
governor. In that third period of the
Legislature, there’s lots of action
and often a few surprises.
Here’s a sampling of bills the
House sent to the Senate.
HB1003: Higher Education
which funds the Board and all
eleven colleges. 2419 non-faculty
employees.
HB1012: Department of Transportation. 1079 employees.
HB 1014: Industrial Commission
which includes the Bank of ND,
Minerals Division, Housing Incentives and State Mill. 488 employees.
HB 1004: Department of Health:
361 employees.
HB 1015: Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: 850
employees.
HB 1186: Prohibit the sale of
e-cigarettes to minors. A ban on use
by minors and raising the tax on
e-cigs failed.
HB 1223: Reduce individual and
corporate income tax.
HB 1257: Equal pay for men and
women.
HB 1443: Establish an infrastructure loan fund for cities and
counties.
Here are some good ideas that
did not make it. I have a feeling
that here too, the rule of three
applies. Some veterans of the
legislative process say that it takes
three sessions before a majority of
legislators buy in to a good idea.
HB 1327 would have created a
sales tax exemption for non-profit
thrift stores.
HB 1371 would have created a
tax credit for renters of residential
property.
HB 1421 would have raised the
tax on tobacco and use the money
for health issues.
HB 1438 would have raised the
wages for tipped employees to the
minimum wage.
For the next month, we in the
House will be working on Senate bills, then it’s on to the third
period, where a six-member conference committees with, guess what,
three senators and three representatives, will iron out their differences.
Surviving bills will be sent to the
governor for final approval and become law. Vetoes are rare in North
Dakota.
Enjoy this month of March as
we transition to spring.

… about how many shades of gray?
If you think I’m going to talk
about the fifty from that book “Fifty
Shades of Grey,”
fear not. You
don’t have to hide
the newspaper
from little eyes
that should not
know about that
“erotic romance
novel” that has
been so much in
the news lately. I
haven’t read the
book nor seen the
movie based on
Myrna Lyng
it, but I’ve heard
that it’s pretty
strong stuff.
No, the “shades of gray” I refer
to are the heads of hair that I saw
in church a couple of weeks ago. I
had just read a newspaper article
about gray becoming the new
black, at least for hair color, and I
was interested in seeing how many
of the ladies sitting in the pews
were gray-haired, by choice or perhaps even courtesy of Lady Clairol.
So at Mayville Lutheran that
Sunday I saw hair of pure white
(gorgeous!), salt-and-pepper gray/
white, blonde-y gray/white, some
sort of streaky, some sort of cloudycolored, and many variations
between. Color-wise, I’m about in
the middle, definitely gray, but my
rearview mirror shows vestiges of
the dark hair that I used to have.
The hair on the men’s heads
showed the same color variations.
The chief difference was that I
didn’t see any bald-headed women.
Little did we ladies know that
we are modeling the latest fashion. According to the newspaper
article, “all sorts of trend reports
are calling gray hair a hot look for
2015, for both younger and older
women.” Wow. We’re “hot” and
we didn’t even know it.
It seems that many younger
girls who don’t have gray hair love
the look of it and are asking their
Random
Thoughts
hairdresser to color them gray.
Evidently some have seen several famous women with white or
silvery tresses and have decided to
go for the same look. Imagine that.
Glamour magazine in the United
Kingdom even asked if gray hair
among the young was the new
“granny chic,” the article stated.
The article goes on to say that
the choice to go (or be) gray “is
great news for women of a certain age, who spend an average
of about $330 every year hiding
their gray because they are afraid it
makes them look old or puts them
at a professional disadvantage in
a work world filled with younger
women.” More and more women
are saying, “Who cares?” Instead
of hieing themselves to the hairdresser to have those gray roots
taken care of or doing it themselves
courtesy of L’Oreal from the drugstore, they’re just letting nature
take its course.
And nature does just that. The
article says that “Forty appears to
be the boundary between prematurely and naturally gray, and your
genes have a lot to say about that.”
(Evidently your gray hair is your
parents’ fault.) As a matter of fact,
I spotted (and plucked out, I think)
my first gray hair when I was
twenty-five years old. “Gray hair
is the result of follicles at the base
of the hair shaft losing melanin,”
the article concludes, “not necessarily the result of teenage children.”
The longer I live, the more I
find myself on the cutting edge of
something—totally unbeknownst
to me, of course. Back when the
world was so new that the rainbow
was in black and white, I was one
of the first to wear knee-high boots.
A look around a mall or other public space shows that the rest of the
world has finally caught on to that
fad. I abandoned my boots years
ago and have no plans to wear
them now. Especially if I have to
wear those form-fitting yoga pants
or whatever you call them that are
part of that particular look.
It’s amazing to see how many
women, lemming-like, follow a
trend, no matter what their body
shape is. At the Denver airport
recently I saw a size-46 woman
wearing those pants and boots.
She’d have been easier on the eyes
and perhaps more comfortable if
she had worn a caftan. At the other
end of the scale was a cadaverouslooking lady—wearing a similar
ensemble—who looked like she
could have been the model for
those skeletons you see in a doctor’s office. Never mind what the
Duchess of Windsor said—I think
it is possible to be “too thin” when
it comes to wearing certain clothes.
To each his own, of course. It’s the
American way.
Anyway. This trend to be
fashionably gray might not be such
good news for the hairdressers
accustomed to having clients with
set-in-stone-touching-up-the-roots
appointments. But I don’t think
they have to worry too much. Business could be forthcoming because
of another trend. “Because the
stars are doing it,” more and more
younger women are asking to have
their manes colored “like the locks
of Kelly Osborne, Pink and Lady
Gaga,” the article says.
Not me, though. The color gray
suits me fine. I am well beyond
that “certain age” and no longer
compete in the work force. Long
ago I abandoned the every-fourweeks trip to the hairdresser to
have that gray washed away. All
I hope is that as I age further and
that remaining dark hair gets
lighter as well, that it will all turn
that gorgeous shade of white—not
dingy yellow.
I kept that hairdresser’s number,
though, in case that undesirable
color emerges. In current parlance,
she “has an app for that.”
Good thing. I don’t look good in
yellow.
I would like to publicly thank
James R. Johnson for attending our Sons of Norway Mjosen
Lodge’s “rollepulse making”
meeting Saturday, Feb. 21. I
hope that seeing the pictures invoked memories of things your
parents or grandparents made
and shared with you.
The Sons of Norway’s mission
is to promote and to preserve the
heritage and culture of Norway
and to celebrate our relationship
with other Nordic countries. In
more than a century, we have
never strayed from our mission
to preserve and cherish a lasting
appreciation of the heritage and
culture of Norway. It’s the driving force behind everything we
do, and it’s what we’re known
for. Through various programs,
Sons of Norway ensures that
Norwegian heritage and culture thrive within the communities we serve. Sons of Norway
is an organization for members
to come together in celebration
of Norwegian heritage and culture. Through our lodge system
members make new friends.
Our meetings are always
open to guests and potential
members. If you would like to
explore your Norwegian heritage, our next meeting will be at
7 p.m. April 16. We will be presenting a play, “Amerika Feber,”
telling the Norwegian immigration story. Resources to help individuals do genealogy searches
will also be presented.

It’s all a clever trap, Senator Heitkamp
Dear Senator Heidi:
As you now, I never
meddle in your political plans.
However, I have always felt responsible for the
well-being of my
former students,
from Minnesota
House Speaker
Kurt Zellers, to the
Pomeroy boys, to
the Heitkamps.
The time has
Lloyd
come, however, to
Omdahl warn you about
the clever trap
former lt. gov. of ND
former UND political that is being set
back here in North
science professor
Dakota. They’re
trying to lure you
into a narrow political canyon where
they can dry-gulch you in the 2016
election. They want you to run for
governor.
That insightful political observer
Mike Jacobs, retired editor of the
Grand Forks Herald, noted recently
that U.S. senators seldom run for
governor. It’s always the other way
around. For you to run for governor would be going down the up
staircase.
To keep this whole discussion
nonpartisan, we will just identify
“they” as Party No. 1. There is no
denying that Party No. 1 would like
to have your Senate seat. In fact, it
looks like they would even trade the
governorship for it.
The tipoff is the bill in the present
session of the Legislature that would
require special elections to fill Senate
vacancies. They are worried that
when you get elected governor you
can appoint your successor under
present law.
Now please note that they are
conceding the gubernatorial election
to you. This is just more cheese in
the trap.
While the proposed legislation is
the giveaway, there is the recent Gallup Well-Being survey reporting that
North Dakota folks have become
very unhappy in the last couple of
years. In 2013, we were the happiest
folks on earth. In 2015, we plummeted to 23rd in the country.
Ordinarily, Gallup people are as
right as any polling organization
can get but I am suspicious of such a
significant decline in so short a time.
Cultures don’t change that fast.
I can believe that folks in Hawaii are the most happy but South
Dakota tied for second? Give me a
break.
Among Gallup’s criteria was
“having supportive relationships
and love in your life.” Our most
populous nationalities, Scandinavian
and German, didn’t verbalize affection. My folks never said they loved
me but they made lefse, lutefisk and
gammelost and that said it to me.
Another bit of Gallup criteria was
“managing economic life to reduce
stress.” Hey! This is a farm state
and I never saw the day that farmers
didn’t complain about something.
Farming is a stressful business.
They’re already stewing about the
lack of moisture for spring planting.
Gallup polled around 800 people
in North Dakota, most of who vote
for Party No. 1. I think they were
coached to tell Gallup how unhappy

they were so you would think
people were ready for a change
and would vote for candidates in
Party No. 3, especially for governor.
(Right now, there is no Party No. 2 in
North Dakota.)
Then there is another Gallup survey indicating that North Dakota is
moving from conservative to moderate. At one time we were in the topfive conservative states and now we
dropped to 13. That’s suspicious.
Asking people to classify
themselves politically is like asking
people about religion. Most will
claim to be believing Christians
when they are actually practicing
secularists. It’s a kind of sociallyacceptable atheism.
We may claim moderate but
Party No. 1 has all of the elected
state officials and two-thirds of both
houses of the Legislature. That’s not
moderate – that’s excessive. We’re
Sanforized deep-red conservative.
It all adds up, Senator. And just
because one is paranoid doesn’t
mean somebody isn’t out to get one.

School
The halls and corridors at
MSU are alive
with the sound of music!
We will have the opportunity to
host the North Dakota High School
Activities Association Region 3
large group music
contest Friday,
March 13. We
are excited about
having students
and directors
from May-Port
University CG, Hatton/
Northwood, Park
News
River, Grafton,
Gary Hagen
Thompson,
President,
Fordville-Lankin,
Mayville State
Central Valley,
University
Larimore, Walhalla, St. Thomas,
and Minto on
campus. The contest begins at 9
a.m. and will continue until about
3:30 p.m.
This contest has been held at
Grafton High School for the last
few years, but due to major school
construction and remodeling, they
were unable to make the accommodations in Grafton. When the
region directors contacted Mayville
State about the possibility, we
jumped at the chance!
The public is invited to attend
and listen to the performances
throughout the day. Concert choirs
will perform on the stage in the
MSU Classroom Building Auditorium. Concert bands will perform
in the Lewy Lee Fieldhouse.
Just a few weeks later, Friday,
April 10, Mayville State will host
the Region 3 solos and ensemble
contest. Hosting this contest is a
long-time tradition at Mayville
State. Soloists and ensembles
receiving star ratings at this contest
will advance to the state music
contest May 2 in Bismarck.
Bringing music opportunities to
campus for Mayville State students
has been a long-time thrust. We are
thrilled that we are now offering
band and choir participation activities for all students, and as of the
fall semester of 2011, a music minor
is being offered. The Mayville State
music department had been greatly
curtailed due to budget cuts in the
early 1990s.
More students participate in
music at Mayville State than any
other activity, with the exception
of football. Music participation is
seen as an important component in
Mayville State’s strategic enrollment management plans. Providing opportunities for involvement
is not only an important aspect of
recruiting students for Mayville
State, but also for retaining them.
Music is a great way to get students involved, and music students
are generally good students who
greatly enhance campus life.
All students who participate
in music at Mayville State receive
scholarships. Funding sources
include private donations and the
annual Tables du Jour event. The
Traill Blazers Mayville-Portland
area men’s choir has also contributed proceeds from their annual
performance to the scholarship
fund at Mayville State for several
years.
To help ensure that we may
continue to offer these scholarships
and grow the number of students
who attend Mayville State and participate in band and/or choir, the
MSU Foundation has established
a booster club of music supporters
called Music Makers. Businesses
and individuals may become
Music Makers with their annual
gifts of $100 or more. In addition,
a handful of music endowments
have been established by generous
private donors. Music Makers help
make the gift of music available
to students who are in pursuit of
their dreams and goals. For more
information, contact MSU Foundation Executive Director John Klocke
at 701-788-4787 or john.j.klocke@
mayvillestate.edu.
The MSU music department has
already had a busy year, and there
is more to come. The traditional
homecoming concert was held last
fall, and it was an absolute joy to
hear the 125th anniversary choir,
comprised of the current concert
choir, together with alumni and
friends. The stage was filled with
singers, and the auditorium was
filled with beautiful music. To celebrate the holidays, the department
held their annual Christmas concert
in December.
The spring pops concert is
scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday,
CHAPTER 5
March 8. All are welcome to attend,
and there is no admission fee. The
music department spring concert
is scheduled for Sunday, May 3,
same time, same place. Please mark
your calendar and plan to enjoy the
wonderful musical talents of our
students.
A fundraising event to benefit
music at Mayville State is just
around the corner. Tables du Jour
will be held Saturday, April 18 at
the MSU Campus Center. Tables du
Jour, or “tables of the day,” will feature 31 tables, each adorned in its
own theme. After a time of viewing
the tables, guests will be served a
delicious brunch. A silent auction
is also a big part of the event. As an
extra-special treat this year, Jacky
Arness, Miss North Dakota, will be
singing a song or two.
If you haven’t already experienced Tables du Jour for yourself, I
assure you that it will be a morning of fun, wonderful entertainment, great food, and creative table
themes. Each year, table hostesses
and designers are encouraged to
think outside the box, and they
continue to exceed expectations
year after year. If you’re interested
in attending, please contact Kim
Lauf at 701-788-4271. A preview
event for Tables du Jour will be
held Friday evening, April 17, from
5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to
come in and view the fabulously
decorated tables while enjoying
refreshments. Advance tickets are
not required. There will be a charge
at the door. Gather your friends
and come to Mayville State for an
evening of pure enjoyment!
Music speaks a universal language, and provides a legacy that
all can enjoy. The benefits of having
music at Mayville State are multifaceted. Thank you to Mike Bakken

Why, I tell ya,
in the 1930s
the Gashouse Gang was on top of the world!
We was ruling the baseball scene and having
a good and dandy time with it, too. We sure
did have some fun.
Once, we was in Philadelphia, playing the
Phillies, of course, and I heard word that the
Democratic National Convention
was in town to nominate Mr.
Franklin D. Roosevelt for his
second term. Me ‘n’ Frankie
Frisch decided to mosey on
over and check out the action.
Turns out, when we showed up
we caused quite a stir! Everyone
wanted to meet the star pitcher
of the St. Louis Cardinals and his
famous manager, too. Nobody
was listening to those speeches
anyhow, so the good Senator
from Missouri thought it a fine
idea to invite me to the stand
to address the crowd! Well, the
chairperson that day vetoed the
idea. Somethin’ about not being
quite too certain what I might
say. Well, I told them all, that chairperson
was just afraid I’d stampede the convention
and take the nomination away from Mr.
Roosevelt himself!
Truth is, presidential nominations aside,
there’s not much Ol’ Diz can’t do. Why,
I’ll tell ya, one day I was visiting some kids
in a hospital in St. Louis. That day, we was
supposed to be playing the Giants in the
afternoon. When I was leaving the kids at the
hospital I says to them, “Is there anything I
can do to make ya’ll happier? Anything at all,
I don’t bar nuthin’ for you kids.” Well, those
little firecrackers asked me if I could strike
out Bill Terry. Yes sir, they wanted me to
strike out Bill Terry with the bases loaded that
very afternoon. Dagnabbit, I was thinking
why couldn’t they have picked Vergez or
Critz? Bill Terry was a monster. Nowadays, I
hear “Memphis Bill” is considered to be one
of the greatest men to ever play the game. He
was the last National League player to bat over
.400, no easy feat. Yeehaw, striking out Ol’
Bill weren’t gonna be easy. But a promise was
a promise, so later that day I walked a Giants
batter just to get them bases loaded before
Bill Terry stepped up to bat. I looked him
square in the eye and I says, “I hate to do this,
Bill, but I promised some kids in a hospital
today that I’d strike you out with the bases
loaded.”
And ya know, I struck that fellow out in three
pitches.
Ol’ Diz has quite a bit of natural ability, but,
of course, that doesn’t mean I never relied on
luck! All ballplayers do. I always insisted on
wearing number 13. And I had a lucky sock.
Never pitched a game without that good sock.
Almost lost it once. It was in the clubhouse.
I looked around and couldn’t find that sock
anywhere. I told the boys I couldn’t pitch
until I found it. I said I hadn’t worked a game
all season without that sock in my pocket.
So, we all was looking around, tearing that
clubhouse apart trying to find Dizzy’s lucky
sock. When all of a sudden Frankie Frisch
Pop ups
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION is a series of
nominating conventions held every four years to prepare for
the national election. It involves lots of speeches and rallies,
culminating in the nomination of a presidential candidate
for the Democratic party.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT was the 32nd President of the
United States, serving between the years of 1933-1945.
looked at me and he says, “Diz, you’ve never
had more than two socks in your entire life.
You’ll probably find it on your foot!” And
whattya know, there it was.
I got one more yarn to spin for ya. Once, I
just happened to wander into a St.
Louis drugstore in the middle of
an armed robbery! I said to them
robbers, “Whatchya doin’?” And
ya know they had the nerve to tell
me to shut up. I like to be a friendly
sort so I decided to introduce
myself. “Hi! I’m Diz …” I began,
but those robber men they stuck
a pistol right into my ribs and
ordered me to the back of the store
with the other customers. I guessed
they weren’t baseball fans. Turns
out we all made it out of that jam
just fine and later that night I got a
phone call from one of the robbers.
He’d just realized that he’d held
up the famous Dizzy Dean! “I got
nothin’ against ya, personally,” he
told me. “In fact, I’m a fan.” To
prove it too, that robber told me he’d send me
a bunch of neckties. And whattya know, next
day half a dozen neckties arrived all packaged
and ready for Mr. Dizzy Dean. I shared those
ties with the other boys on the Cardinals team
and they was all darn
happy to receive ‘em!
Extra Innings!
Dizzy Dean visited kids in the hospital.
Many professional athletes spend a lot of time
in community service. Use the newspaper to

Convention. Can you find an example of an

Moore Thoughts
NFL free
agency is only
a week away
and teams are
already making
moves. The Philadelphia Eagles
traded their running back LeSean
McCoy for Buffalo Bills’ linebacker
Kiko Alonso, which has shocked
many.
Every year a few moves that are
made have fans questioning why or
why not a team would try to keep a
certain player. Two major offensive
weapons that are on the free agent
market this year are wide receiver
Randall Cobb, and Demarco Murray.
Randall Cobb had an excellent
year for the Green Bay Packers this
year. He was part of an explosive
offense led by one of the best
quarterbacks in the league. He has
gradually gotten better since his entrance into the NFL. However, his
by Connor Moore
success in the future is questionable
to me if he chooses not to stay in
Green Bay.
Receivers who leave organizations that have great quarterbacks
are always questionable because
you can’t see how much of their
success is dependent on the quarterback and the offensive system
they played for. Eric Decker and
Wes Welker are both prime examples of this.
Decker had a great year in Denver, and then ended up playing for
the New York Jets the next year. His
numbers drastically dropped. He
went from a top-two team in the
league to one of the bottom feeders
in the matter of a year and he was
really exposed. Very few receivers
can be good anywhere they go, and
he was not one of them.
The other player who is a free
agent this year is Demarco Murray, the Dallas Cowboys’ running
back. Now of course I would be
devastated if Demarco chose to
sign somewhere else. Not only
would it hurt the Cowboys but
it would be foolish of him. The
Cowboys have a great offensive
line that many other teams cannot
replicate. We have one of the best
offenses in the league with Murray
and he is utilized to the max with
them. He’s loved in Dallas and they
have proved their team is a playoff
contender.
Free agency is a fun time of
year for NFL fans. It is really the
only time of year when a big-name
player will switch teams. Some
trades and signings come out of
nowhere and shock many. Teams
make moves that build hope and
crush dreams for the next season. I
hope I am not one of the ones with
crushed dreams!
Thunder Robotics unveils new robot

Twenty out of 30 students in Hatton-Northwood Robotics traveled Feb. 27-28 to a regional in Duluth,
where they placed 11th in the preliminary rounds and combined with another team to place third overall.
By James R. Johnson
The robot developed for competition by Thunder Robotics Team
#876 is everything it’s stacked up
to be.
Hatton-Northwood’s big robotics team of 14 students is in the
division of FIRST robotics called
FRC.
Supervisor Mike Voglewede
said the robot team has been working hard and completed its final
week of building Feb. 17.
“The robot resembles a small
forklift and has pneumatics with
six-wheel drive,” Vogelwede told
the Tribune. “The students were
busy driving it to get used to the
unusual rear-steering method.”
Team 876 showcased their new
robot during a 20-team scrimmage
that took place Feb. 15 at Itasca
Community College in Grand Rapids, Minn.
Eight mentors accompanied
the team to see how the new robot
would perform under competition
conditions. Voglewede said that a
few minor changes had to be made
but overall, the robot and its controllers did very well.
“The game this year involves
stacking totes as high as six levels,”
Voglewede explained. “Additional
points can be scored by placing
a pool noodle into a recycling
bin and placing the bin atop the
stacked totes. This can make a tower higher than eight feet! Thunder
Robotics was the first team at the
scrimmage to accomplish the tallest
stack of six, achieving a score of 42
points and wowing the crowd. The
scrimmage was a valuable learning
tool for the team.”
There are 30 students in robotics
from the towns of Aneta, Hatton,
Emerado and Northwood.
Twenty of them traveled to the
regional competition Feb. 27-28 in
Duluth .
“We did well,” Vogelwede reported. “The ‘Stackwagon’ and its
team of controllers finished the preliminary rounds in 11th place out of
60 teams. They were then selected
to be on the fourth-seeded Alliance
for the championship rounds. They
finished in third place overall! “
Voglewede said Team 876 is
making some adjustments “so
they can score even more points at
the next regional,” March 20-21 in
Peoria, Ill.
The Thunder Bots, HattonNorthwood’s LEGO robotics team,
earned the “Gracious Professionalism Award” at the competition held
at the University of North Dakota.
They are coached by Justin Foss.
Mentors helping this year are
include Ben Thorsgard, Ed Wheeler, Joe Chaparro, Drake Fisher,
Ben Myzskowsi, Corey Hagen,
Skye Leake, Ray Aamold, Mike
Voglewede, Brandy and Ben Bartle,
Scott Ness, Tim Skjoiten, Rory
Held, Russell Hoge, Jane Engen,
Nayana Batham, Gary Gylten and
Sophie Hoge.
Voglewede expressed, “Thunder
Robotics Team 876 is very lucky to
have so many mentors who can assist in a wide variety of areas.”

Deadline to update yields or reallocate
base acres extended to March 31
By James R. Johnson
The Traill County Farm Service
Agency heard the news just before
lunch Friday, Feb. 27, the original
2014 farm bill deadline for growers to either reallocate base acres or
update yields.
However, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced a
one-time extension of an additional
month, until March 31, to make the
decision.
Vilsack said the extension applied more toward producers in the
South, where upland cotton is no
longer a covered commodity under
crop insurance changes in the Agricultural Act of 2014.
Vilsack said 60 percent of farmers that the USDA expected to
make a change to their base acres
or yields have done so, but “we
know we created a challenge with
some operations that are still working with their landowners.”
Ray Durkin, with the Traill
County FSA, told the Tribune,
“We’re pretty far along as far as
people finishing up their base acre
and yield updates. We’re in the upper 90% of completion.”
Some FSA farms will do neither
because of small acreages.
“It’s been busy, steady,” Durkin
said of traffic flowing to the FSA
office Feb. 27. “A lot of people have
been dropping off signatures.”
If no changes are made to yield
history or base acres by March 31,
2015, the farm’s current yield and
base will be used.
Since September, Traill County
FSA has conducted its share of
more than 4,100 outreach training
sessions across the United States
covering the safety-net programs.
Nationwide, more than 2.9 million

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced a one-month extension, until March 31, for farmers
to chose between reallocating base acres or updating yields, as recommended in the 2014 farm bill.The
deadline is the same for electing ARC or PLC crop insurance.
educational postcards, in English
and Spanish, have been sent to
producers.
March 31 is also the final day
for farm owners and producers to
choose ARC (Agriculture Risk) or
PLC (Price Loss) crop insurance
coverage. If no choice is made between the two programs, the farm
will default to PLC through the
2018 crop year and there will be no
2014 payments for losses.
“These are complex decisions,”
Vilsack said. “These programs
provide financial protection against
unexpected changes in the mar-
ketplace. Producers are working
to make the best decision they can,
and we’re working to ensure that
they’ve got the time, the information, and the opportunities to have
those final conversations, review
their data, and to visit the Farm
Service Agency to make those decisions.”
Vilsack said Feb. 27 that about
30% of producers have made a
choice between ARC or PLC, but
there had been “a remarkable
uptick” in the two weeks preceding
his announcement.
Farmers still weighing the
ARC/PLC option can explore
projections online at www.fsa.usda.
gov/arc-plc.
Barley, corn, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat are among
the covered commodities that are
primarily planted and grown by
Traill County farmers, but the
coverage also includes canola,
large and small chickpeas, crambe,
flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils,
mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry
peas, rapeseed, long-grain rice,
medium-grain rice (which includes
short-grain rice), safflower seed,
and sesame.
Congress urged to reject calls
for farm bill cuts
North Dakota Farmers Union
(NDFU) is working with National
Farmers Union (NFU) and a coalition of nearly 400 other organizations representing family farmers
and ranchers to encourage U.S.
Senate and House leaders to reject
all calls for additional cuts to the
2014 farm bill.
NDFU President Mark Watne
explained, “A letter was sent from
this coalition to reaffirm our commitment to preserving the farm bill
in Congress. The letter was sent to
the chairman and ranking member
of the Senate and House Budget
Committees. It is our hope that it
reminds the leaders the importance
of leaving the farm bill intact and
that they refrain from including
any reconciliation instructions to
committees.”
The 2014 farm bill required over
three years of debate in both cham-
bers of Congress and ultimately
ended with the consolidation of
over 100 programs and cuts to
mandatory spending across many

titles, including the elimination of
the direct payment program.
These cuts came in addition
to those already in effect due to
sequestration. The letter noted
that the bipartisan farm bill was
estimated to contribute $23 billion
to deficit reduction over 10 years,
when including sequestration.
“These difficult cuts were made
across the farm safety net, conservation programs, and nutrition
programs,” noted the letter, which
was sent Monday, Feb. 23.
The coalition members underscored their united opposition to
re-opening any title of the farm
bill during the consideration of the
2016 Budget Resolution and urged
both chambers to refrain from including reconciliation instructions
to the respective committees with
oversight duties for the farm bill.
“The 2014 farm bill was a
great victory for America’s family
farmers and ranchers, because it
provided them with much-needed
stability and also a huge win for
taxpayers, who will realize real

Farm Rescue
offers planting
assistance to farm
families in crisis
When Mathew Fischer lost his
left arm and left leg to a farming accident in November 2013 ,it
could have been the end of his family’s ability to maintain their family
farm near Mercer, N.D.
But thanks to a supportive community, and the volunteers and
equipment from North Dakota-
based Farm Rescue, his 2014 crop
was planted quickly and on-time
as Fischer continued to adjust to
using his new prosthetics. Fischer
was just one of 50 family farmers in
five states aided by Farm Rescue in
2014, and the organization is again
ready to provide volunteer labor
and equipment for the 2015 planting season to farm families who
have experienced a major illness,
injury or natural disaster. Farm
Rescue provides aid to farmers in
North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana.
Applications for the 2015 planting
season are now being accepted,
with priority given to those received prior to March 31.
Application forms may be found
on the organization’s website at
www.farmrescue.org or by calling
701-252-2017. Friends may also call
to anonymously refer a family they
believe could use Farm Rescue’s
help.
Each family selected for assistance can receive up to 1,000 acres
planted free of charge.
Since 2006, Farm Rescue has
assisted 300 farm families who
have experienced hardships ranging from open-heart surgery and
cancer treatment to severed limbs
and car accidents. The organization
has been supported by more than
200 business sponsors and donors
and nearly a thousand volunteers
who have contributed time and
expertise to helping farmers with
planting, haying, and harvesting.

Give youngsters a goal and
they’ll surprise you with their
achievements.
Peter Boe Jr. Elementary kids
jumped all over heart disease and
stroke through Jump Rope For
Heart during physical education
classes Feb. 16-17. Their goal was
to raise $3,200 for the American
Heart Association, but the youngsters all but “triple-dutched” that
target.
The youngsters netted $9,420.35
to fund research, programs and
education to fight heart disease
and stroke. Fifth-graders raised
the most of the six, $2,229.50, and
Claire Lovro alone collected $325.
“I’m so pleased with the success of this year’s event,” Beth
Kainz, Jump Rope For Heart
coordinator, told the Tribune. “We
all had a lot of fun, and the kids
enjoyed learning about the importance of physical activity and
how they can play a role in saving
lives.”
This plastered principal was the end result of PBJ kids raising
$9,420.35 for the American Heart Association.
Joey Kubal, Lexi Binstock, John
Cahill, and Wolfgang Danger.
Then came what the kids really
looked forward to. Any youngster
who personally raised more than
$100 was promised the opportunity to have PBJ principal Jeff
Houdek “taste some pie.”
Those 42 students included
Lovro, Madison Anderson, Jovie
Cordahl, Connor Dockter, Emma
Dockter, Teagan Domier, Hannah
Edinger, Danica Freeberg, Jaxon
Freeberg, Lucas Fugleberg, Devon
Fulton, Megan Jackson, Spencer
Jacobson, Faith Johnson, Shaycee
Johnson, Sophie Johnson, Sarah
Jones, Marit Judisch, Tanner
Kiefel, Marsahll Kloster, Kayla
Knudsvig, Wyatt Knudsvig, Zach
Kville, Piper Lindaas, Zachariah
Lyng, Gavin Mewes, Isabella
Miller, Maci Moellenkamp, Ali
Moen, Kendall Nelson, Kennedy
O’Connor, Isabell Parker, Wyate
Perkins, Emily Sanders, Laura
Sanders, Sarah Sanders, Breanna
Sayler, Corbin Schreiner, Reid
Strand, Jake Verwest, Justin Verwest, and Lyle Voth.
“Ready, aim, fire!”
Houdek is more than accustomed with these rodeos. Dressed
in sweatpants, a hoodie, a Superman T-shirt and a pair of goggles,
Houdek was duct-taped to a chair,
ironically not far from a sign
reading, “No food or drink in the
gym.”
No worries; the pie-throwing
area was covered in plastic.
The 42 youngsters who gathered more than $100 lined up in
eleven rows, four-at-a-time each
guaranteed two tosses of sponges
with hefty scoops of non-dairy
whipped topping at their principal. Each connection drew louder
squeals of laughter.
Houdek chewed gum (another
precedent) so as not to taste the
targeted topping. After about ten
minutes, Houdek, the chair and
the wall were absolutely plastered
in nine containers of Cool Whip.
PBJ secretary Helen Hoyt, the
likely brainchild of this messy motivation, made a sundae out of this
Friday, squeezing more whipped
topping on to Houdek’s head, followed by Hershey’s Syrup and a
cherry on top.
The slathered schoolmaster
proclaimed how proud he was that
the 200-plus youngsters “shattered
your goal. This is my way of saying that I believe in you!”
Jump Rope For Heart is a
program that promotes physical
activity and heart health through
jumping rope. It is cosponsored by
the American Heart Association
and SHAPE America-Society of
Health and Physical Educators.
