ndrist era spans 91 years
Torch passes after
three generations
of newspapering
By Megan Reberg
Just as the Olympic torch gets passed
between 8,000 individuals this summer
in the United Kingdom, the torch has
been passed once more at The Journal.
The Andrist family has been the
flame that kept the newspaper burning
for over 90 years, but now longtime reporter Cecile Krimm takes the helm.
An open house Friday afternoon
from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. will recognize
The Journal’s change in ownership.
The Journal, like all newspapers, is
“a mirror of the community, showing
beauties and blemishes,” said Steve Andrist.
Three generations of Andrists have
published The Journal.
“I feel so much pride to be in the footsteps of who I consider to be giants in
the industry,” said Steve, speaking of
his father and grandfather.
“What is special with The Journal I
feel, each generation got better,” said
John.
The story begins with Steve’s grandfather, Calvin L. Andrist. Calvin got into
the business as a printer’s devil who
performed a number of tasks, such as
mixing tubs of ink and fetching type.
“He came to the area to do farm work
so when winter came he got a job at a
print shop to tide him over till spring.
Spring never came,” John said.
At a time when small town newspapers were the norm, there were eight to
10 papers in Divide County. Crosby had
two competing newspapers.
In 1921, Calvin purchased the Divide
County Journal with a partner, Nansen
B. Henderson. Calvin eventually bought
out Henderson’s interest.
The competing newspaper, the Crosby Review later known as the Divide
County Farmers Press, was purchased
by Calvin in 1946.
“I think we (John and his brother)
were infatuated with the newspaper as
kids,” said John. “We used to sneak into
the office sometimes to play around.
We were pretty mischievous.”
John began writing some sports articles when he was in high school.
Cecile Krimm -- The Journal
Steve and John posed a few months ago with a photo of Calvin for a UND-Alumni Review article about the family.
“I just grew to love the work as a teenager,”
John said. “I was good at a few things. I wrote
naturally, I think I had the gift of gab, and I’m
pretty creative.”
Calvin leased the business to John in
1958.
John took over as publisher in 1961.
“I hung out here. Dad put me to work,
grunt work,” said Steve.
“Grandpa ‘Cal’ was always around,
kind of like how my dad is now. He
couldn’t get away from this place.”
Steve graduated from high school
with the newspaper in his blood, but he
was not ready to settle down.
“When I graduated from high school,
I didn’t know what else to do,” he said.
“It used to bug me to no end when peo-
ple said ‘so you going to go back to The
Journal?’”
“So I went off to save the world,” he
said.
Steve worked at papers in Bismarck,
Winona, Minn., and Rochester, Minn.,
but returned to Crosby with his family
in 1991, taking the reins from his dad.
“When Barb and I moved here, she
promised me five years. If we didn’t like
it after five years, we would move on,”
said Steve.
“I was coming up onto the fifth year
and I wasn’t ready to leave, so I bought
the Tioga Tribune,” joked Steve.
“That gave me at least five more
years.”
With Steve’s wife, Barbara, nearing
retirement eligibility and Krimm showing interest in owning the papers, the
opportunity for change was clear.
“I’ve been told, ‘Take the opportunity
when it presents itself.’”
Weighing heavily on Steve’s decision
was that an individual with ties to the
community take over.
“Most newspapers are now being
sold to groups or chains. They don’t
have community involvement,” he said.
The Andrist family made sure to keep
their newspaper a “community paper.”
Krimm accepts the challenge of carrying the torch and is determined to
keep the flame burning at The Journal.
“Maintaining the quality and legacy
is most important to me,” she said.
By Cecile Krimm
A Georgia family’s quest for a better living in North Dakota ended a
week ago Friday when 40-year-old
Lee Clay was murdered by a man
who has already
told a judge he
wants to plead
guilty.
Last
week,
Clay’s
brother
said he takes
solace in the belief his brother’s
death did a great
Lee Clay
service to his adopted state.
“It is highly likely my brother
just got a serial murderer off your
streets,” said Raymond Clay, 39, who
left Crosby last week to return to
Georgia for his brother’s funeral.
Instead of seeing his brother’s
tragic end so far from their childhood home as a case of being in
the wrong place at the wrong time,
Raymond believes, “My brother took
somebody else’s place and got that
guy off the streets.”
Raymond calls his brother a “good
dude with a good heart,” but Lee had
his own run-ins with the law.
Despite that, said Divide County
States Attorney Liz Pendlay, “I feel
for them very much.”
Bizarre discovery
John Clark Bridges, 42, the man
charged with Lee Clay’s death, has
been described in court records as
a sociopath who sought out an opportunity to murder someone for
the sheer experience.
Investigators last week said
they have overwhelming evidence
Clay’s murder was premeditated. A
knife and hatchet found in Bridges’
wrecked van are believed to be murder weapons.
Highway patrol troopers investigated a traffic accident July 9 involving Bridges’ van. They held him as
a person of interest in Lee’s death
when his body was found to have
injuries too severe to have been
caused in the crash.
“A man like this who did this to
him was going to do it again,” said
Raymond.
It’s all just a little too reminiscent
of the recent death in Sidney, Mont.,
of math teacher Sherry Arnold, who
was plucked from that peaceful town
last winter while out for a jog. In that

Crowd of threshing show volunteers needed to pull off big annual event
By Megan Reberg
Some say it takes a community to
raise a child. Every third weekend in
July, it takes a community, along with
others from around the U.S. and Canada, to keep the Divide County Historical Society’s Threshing Show running
each year.
“We’ve got people involved from
New York, Canada, Wichita, Fargo,
and many other places. These people,
along with everyone here have made
this what it is today,” said Glynn Orwick, who has been involved for 15
years.
This weekend, for the 43rd year, the
Threshing Show will have a mix of old
and new events, tried and true attractions, to bring people back once again.
“People plan their vacations around
this. The tradition is sure to keep
growing with the young people I have
seen out here,” said Orwick.
There is a 14-year old from Fargo
who brings his grandfather out, said
Orwick, as one example.
Even individuals who do not have
ties to farming are taking an interest.
“We are expecting it bigger this year.
We have had a lot of interest from the
oil people,” said Orwick. “Many of
them are even coming out to help.”
Plowing is the theme this year.
Horse drawn plows and the always
pleasing steam engines will be on display and doing demonstrations.
A highlight this year will be the newly transplanted Bummer hip-roof barn
(see page 9 for more). The Herb Bummer family donated the barn to the
Historical Society. The structure will
be used in future years to house horse
teams used during the celebration and
for off-season storage of equipment.
Another added bonus this year will
be the newly constructed canopy that
Ed Bakke built for outdoor dining and
entertainment. Bakke is one of the
volunteers who keeps the Threshing
Show running year after year.
John Tysse is another volunteer
School meal prices up
Slight increases to meal prices will be put into
effect this school year at both the elementary
and high school.
“The federal guideline is recommending that
our minimum charge for a full paid lunch be
$2.51,” said Superintendent Sherlock Hirning.
“I think we need to bump up the lunch gradually so we get to the $2.51, otherwise we may be
in a position where the feds come in and force
us.”
Breakfast prices will remain the same K-12,
but lunch will jump from $1.85 to $2 at the K-6
level, and from $1.90 to $2 for those in grades
7-12.
Adult staff and patron adults will also see a
rise in lunch prices this upcoming school year.

It was a real dog day afternoon last week for Ethyl

who has made the show what it is today.
“He’s been involved for years. He is
one of the key guys who has made this
what it is today,” said Orwick. “John
has a mind like a computer, he can tell
you everything.”
Tysse collects old farm equipment
and cars and allows them to be put on
display and run through the parade
during the show.
Tysse does not take any credit
when asked about his involvement,
but praises others around him.

Are we really civilized when DUI deaths abound?
Two more families
suffer the horror of
drunk driving deaths
Eva Andrist just celebrated her first
birthday.
We don’t see her nearly often
enough but when we do, or when we
Skype, she clearly recognizes grandpa
and grandma, and her smile melts
their hearts.
Theodore Andrist is already 14
months old. When we’ve arrived for a
visit after his bed time, our eyes meet
in the morning and the sleepies are
immediately replaced by big smiles
and hugs.
For a grandpa, the euphoria is
unparalleled. It gives purpose and
meaning to life.
You’ve felt it, too. When your grandchild smiled up at you, or your child
first uttered “da da,” or your niece or
nephew delivered a running hug.
It’s a high far, far beyond anything
anyone could possibly get from artificial or chemical sources.
Passing
Dreams
By Steve Andrist
Certainly Tom and Arlene Deutscher
of Bismarck were looking forward with
great anticipation to experiencing that
high again July 6.
Brielle, their 18-month-old granddaughter, was travelling with her
mom and dad, Aaron and Allison
Deutscher, from West Fargo to Bismarck for a family reunion.
It was a little past the supper hour,
and the Deutschers were over half
way “home,” cruising on I-94 west of
Jamestown.
Like it would be if you were heading
home for a family affair, or if your kids
and grandkids were on their way to
your place, the anticipation must have
been building.
Bam!
In a flash a drunk driver headed the
wrong way on the divided highway
ended the reunion plans.
There would be no smiles melting
hearts, no hugs, no euphoria.
The Deutschers were dead, all three
of them -- plus their unborn baby.
Wyatt Klein died, too, apparently
after his last high caused him to drive
the wrong way down the highway.
Two days later, Alaries Ruiz, 5, and
his 9-year-old brother, Cyris, were
camping with their father at Lake
Metigoshe.
Remember those camping trips
with your dad? The ones you still talk
about 30 or 40 years later at family
get-togethers?
The Ruiz brothers will never talk
about this camping trip.
Juan Acosta, 30, of Newburg, sped
through a campground road, lost control of the pickup he was driving, and
drove over the tent where the boys
were sleeping.
He’s charged with manslaughter
and drunken driving.
They’re dead.
Can you imagine, while you’re waiting for your kids and granddaughter
to arrive, answering the phone call
that instead asks you to identify their
bodies?
Can you imagine sleeping in a tent
with your boys, as Juan Ruiz did, and
waking up to the horror of a pickup
crashing through and mangling their
innocent bodies?
Less than a week earlier, North
Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem reported there had been 6,600
DUI arrests in the state in 2011.
That’s the biggest number of DUI arrests in over a decade, 22.6 percent of
all arrests in the state for the year.
More than half of the state’s fatal
traffic accidents involve alcohol,
according to Lt. Jody Skogen of the
North Dakota Highway Patrol.
What are we doing about it?
Following the two tragedies earlier
this month, a couple of legislative
leaders said there’s little that can be
done until attitudes about drinking
change.
They suggest more stringent laws
will have no impact unless drinking
and driving is commonly believed to
be socially unacceptable.
They’re wrong.
It’s true that many of us, maybe
most of us, want to be able to have a
few beers and still drive home afterwards.
But it’s not true that you can’t pass
laws that will change people’s attitudes.
Revoke driving privileges for life for
the first DUI conviction, and you’re
likely to see people choosing alternatives to driving once they’ve been
drinking.
Harsh, yes. Especially when legislators, law enforcement officers, newspaper columnists and many others
are included in the society that finds
socializing without alcohol difficult.
Can something less harsh work?
Certainly, if we make it a priority.
But it’s worth remembering that
Brielle Deutscher’s driving privileges
were revoked for life long before she
was eligible for a driver’s license.
Likewise for Alaries and Cyris Ruiz.
That’s just not acceptable.
The smile of a grandchild provides
the best possible feeling in the world.
The death of a grandchild provides
the worst possible feeling in the
world.
How can a civilized society let that
happen?
There is not another way
to govern higher ed board
In their unending war with the Board of
Higher Education, some legislators are planning another attack in the upcoming legislative
session.
While a variety of excuses are being offered,
the truth is that the legislature wants to grab
more authority in state governance and can’t
tolerate a constitutionally-independent entity
over which they have no direct control.
Most legislators accept the constitutional arrangement for the board but there are a few in
every session who are bent on grabbing more
power. After 75 years, we have become familiar
with legislative encroachment on this independent board created by the people in the 1930s
to insulate it from politics. However, the politicians never give up.
As a pretext for grabbing power, some legislators are pointing to the board’s handling
of the Sioux logo. This is an ironic argument
since the whole logo fiasco was fathered by the
legislature in the first place. It was none of their
business.
Another accusation relates to the reckless
granting of degrees at Dickinson State. This was
a failure on the part of the staff rather than the
board itself.
A change in the structure of the board would
not have avoided any of these problems.
“Is there a better way to do it? I don’t know
the answer to that,” Board Chairperson Grant
Shaft stated recently.
After considering all options, the eight-member board system in North Dakota looks like the
best possible vehicle for responsible nonpolitical management of the 11 public institutions of
higher learning.
Even so, legislators are throwing out ideas
but none of their proposals are as good as what
we already have.
House Majority Leader Al Carlson, sponsor of
the logo fiasco, is proposing a director of higher
education appointed by the governor who
would be advised by an 11-member council appointed by the governor with the consent of the
legislative leadership.
This proposal has a number of defects. First,
it confuses accountability. Gubernatorial appointees should be accountable to the governor. This would not be the case if a council
were giving policy direction to the governor’s
Other
Views
By Lloyd Omdahl
appointee.
Second, the governor would not be permitted to appoint the council without the “advice
and consent” of the “legislative leadership.”
This means that the majority and minority floor
leaders would have considerable influence in
the kind of advice the council would be giving
higher education.
An equally defective proposal is the idea presented by the Citizens for Responsible Government, an alleged “think tank” in Bismarck. They
are talking about initiating a constitutional
amendment calling for the statewide election of
a commissioner of higher education to run the
institutions.
This is an interesting suggestion for a state
that already elects twice as many officials as
the average state. Voters are already overtaxed
in the election process.
If it weren’t for partisan identification and
name familiarity, most voters wouldn’t know
how to vote on offices below governor. Citizens for Responsible Government who think
otherwise should take a list of the state offices
filled by election down the street and ask citizens to name the present officeholders. They
can’t.
Academic institutions require more professional insight and oversight than the average
politician can offer.
In addition, running for office is about as
political as it gets. Instead of protecting higher
education from politics, electing the commissioner would make academic tenure, courses of
study, faculty qualifications and college officials
fair game. The institutions would be scandalized by nitpicking in every session.
Chairperson Shaft’s question is appropriate.
The answer is that there is likely not a better
way to govern higher education than our present board system.

professor and former North Dakota lieutenant
governor.)
New, unusual location for weddings
ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: The
newest, (think bizzare), location rented for
weddings and other special events in Memphis,
Tenn., is the Memorial Park Funeral Home.
Providing a free chapel and arrangements
made within two days, non-funeral events are
also being held in other mortuaries nationwide,
accounting for 8.3 percent of business.
In Portland, Maine, a massive elm tree
nicknamed “Herbie” survived for 217 years. For
years, Frank Knight fought for its preservation
despite Dutch elm disease. Cut down in 2010,
the tree was secretly made into a casket. May
14, Knight, 103, was buried in it.

The Boardwalk at Atlantic City, N.J., has a
carnival atmosphere. The Saltwater Taffy Shop,
the oldest business, has made taffy there for
114 years. The owners make up to 3,000 lbs. of
it a day in 58 different flavors, including spicy
pumpkin.

One of the largest home insurers has
reported they paid out $109 million to cover
3,800 claims for dog bites last year. Nationwide,
nearly $479 million in dog bite claims were
paid. California led with 527 claims. About 4.7
million people are bitten yearly.

An unusual wedding occurred recently
Did You
Know
By Arlene Isaak
in Austin, Minn. When Randy Kjarland asked
Diane Waller to marry him, he did so kneeling in front of her deceased parents’ graves in
Oakwood Cemetery. In order for her parents to
“attend” their May 23 wedding, the ceremony
was also performed there. Roses marked other
relatives’ graves.

The Cobb salad was named after Bob
Cobb, the original owner of the Brown Derby
restaurant in Hollywood. After a busy evening
feeding Hollywood’s notables, he and Sid Grauman, proprietor of the famed Chinese Theater,
raided the refrigerator, concocting a salad of
odds and ends including avocados. Next day it
was added to the menu.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Which animal
costs the least to raise per pound?
New friends have miles to go before they sleep
May I introduce you to some of
my new friends?
We are an unlikely group, inadvertently brought together at a rehab center by some sudden health
cataclysm in our lives.
About the only thing we have in
common is a desire for restoration.
We share varying levels of motivation to do the hard work necessary.
I think the staff would give me
the honor of the hardest worker.
But it is not so much a credit to my
discipline as it is something built
into my DNA.
It’s different for Ken. He sits passively quiet most of the time. The
baseball stitching on the side of his
head suggests to me he has had a
brain injury. I wonder in my quiet
moments what he was like when
his brain was whole, before they
took a scalpel to the center of his
existence.
Harold is peppy, friendly, gregarious, and quite loud. He came here
primarily to deal with the severe
pain that has followed his back surgery. He is eager to get back to his
favorite pastime, umpiring baseball.
He seems perfect for the job. I’m
thankful I don’t need those heavy
duty pain killers.
John-aDreams
By John M. Andrist
Glen lost a leg 40 years ago, and
a couple weeks ago he tangled
with a 4-wheeler and lost. He has a
broken collar bone, a badly fractured shoulder, and broken ribs.
I’m so thankful for my five children
who have rearranged their lives
to have someone near me almost
every day to cheer me on. Glen has
no wife or family. His home is on a
remote farm in the Harvey area. I
worry about his options when he is
released.
Susan puzzles me. She is one
of three or four native Americans
here. The others are probably quite
old. Susan eats and moves a bit
jerkily. I suspect she may be recovering from drug abuse. I hope she is
successful.
John is one of my favorites. The
product of a wealthy Minot business family, he may have been a
prodigal son. He openly admits
that the narcolepsy with which he
is dealing is the result of alcohol
abuse. But I admire his spunk and
his fortitude. I hope he wins his
battle.
Calmer is one of three from
our senate district. He is 89 and
suffered a massive heart attack
–“worst pain I ever had in my life!”
Neat guy. Great friend for as long
as I’ve known him. He’s an ardent
Democrat, just as I am a passionate fiscal conservative. I so admire
the way he maintains his warm
demeanor in the face of his difficulties. I guess I could say the same
for Mary, who fell from a stage, and
Kirk, who like me suffered a slight
stroke.
I wonder most about those who
are super-quiet, like Myrtle – very
frail and low functioning. She is a
widow who is in assisted living east
of Minot. But she maintains her
familiar gentle, long-suffering smile.
Howie is another like that too. He
is very low functioning, it seems.
Sometimes he has the saddest face
you can imagine, as if he is about to
break out sobbing. Other times he
smiles the warmest of smiles. There
must be a restless streak within, be-
cause staff members have an alarm
on his wheel chair to alert them if
he tries to get up. I can’t begin to
imagine what goes on his mind. But
I instinctively know he is a cool guy.
Of course, there are more. New
ones come and go every day. We
are like people who have passed in
the middle of the night, and who
will likely never see one another
again. But it is good to remind
ourselves that this is one of life’s
stories for all of us.
We spend our lives in families.
And we all have other close friends.
But most days we have some sudden encounters that spark a brief
friendship amid our diversity in intellect, age, profession, and personal condition. And sometimes those
encounters become permanently
affixed to our memory bank.
Alas, it is time to get moving
again. I’ve taken my first 5,000
steps, but they tell me I have a
thousand times that many yet to
go. Perhaps even more If I want to
return to full function. And I do.
In the words of the poet, Robert
Frost, “The woods are lovely, dark
and deep, but I have promises to
keep, and miles to go before I sleep,
and miles to go before I sleep.”

Ron Semingson
Raymond Ronald “Ron” Semingson was born Oct. 7, 1937
to Ray and Viv Semingson. He
grew up in Crosby, N.D., the
place he considered heaven on
earth.
Services and internment will
be in Crosby at Concordia Lutheran Church, Aug. 25 at 1 p.m.
He joined the Navy out of
high school and travelled the
world. Ron was so proud of his
role as radioman in the Transantarctic expedition of Sir Edmund Hilary and was proud to
claim him as a friend.
He had many wonderful stories to tell of this great adventure, including capturing breeding pairs of Emperor penguins
for what would become the San
Diego Zoo’s penguin exhibit.
A long time administrator of
nursing homes and care facilities, Ron found great joy in caring for the most frail and vulnerable of our citizens. It was
not unusual for him to pop into
a nursing home on a Saturday
morning to make his famous
pancakes for the staff and residents. Or if he knew he had a
Norwegian resident, he could
be found in the kitchen making
lefse.
A great horseman, Ron liked
to drive the “big guys,” draft
horses, and could handle a team
as well as anyone out there.

Jerry and Meredith Walter returned
last week from a trip to Jackson Hole,
Wyom. They met up with Jerry’s daughter, Erica and Don Scott, her husband.
Don is a dermatologist in Palm Springs
Calif. and was there for a medical conference. Their grandchildren, Cameron (12) and Eleanore Smith (10) were
there also. Wile Don was at the conference, the rest of the family took the
Jackson Hole Gondola (Big Red) to the
top of Rendezvouv Mountain (10450
feet) for an experience they will never
forget. They could see the world from
the top down at the Tram summit, with
unrivaled 360-degree views of Jackson

other fine meals and sightseeing in the

on the phone and he proceeded to ask
him for “your daughter’s hand in marriage.” Garrett Albers is an outstanding young man with a bright future in

for each other and are very happy together. I guess another trip to California is coming on September 22, 2012.

“Snow White And The Huntsman” rated PG-13 with Kristen
Stewart and Charlize Theron.
When Snow White (Stewart)
was just a girl, her widowed father, the King, rescued Ravenna
(Theron) and married her. Unaware that that was her intent,
she murdered him and imprisoned Snow White.
Now Queen, her rule has
turned the kingdom into a desolate place.
Ravenna often queries her
magic mirror about who’s the
fairest of them all, and isn’t
happy to learn that Snow White
has taken her place. But she
also learns that if she takes her
stepdaughter’s heart, she’ll have
eternal youth and beauty.
Snow White, however, manages to escape and rushes off
into the Black Forest where
Ravenna’s witch powers are useless. Accordingly, she orders The
Huntsman to head into the forest
and find Snow White. He easily
captures her, but upon realizing
that his deal with the Queen was
fake, he escapes deeper into the
woods with Snow White.
With the aid of Snow White’s
childhood friend, William, and a
number of resourceful dwarves,
the two set out to overthrow the
Queen and return the Kingdom
to its rightful heir.

Oil party a boom at assisted living center
By Megan Reberg
The smell of ribs wafts
through the dining room. A
three-tiered cake in the design
of an oil drill sits next to “bags
of money” hinting at the theme
of this special event.
Residents of the Northern
Lights Villa assisted living
center at St. Luke’s Hospital
were treated to an “oil party”
Wednesday last week.
“Several of the residents have
mineral rights and some even
have oil wells,” said Manager
Jean Nygaard.
“They are all interested in
talking about the oil. Things
have changed so much, it’s always a topic of discussion,” she
said.
Nygaard, along with RN Jean
Sedo, organized the fun event
for the residents.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal of home-made ribs,
shrimp, salad, and baked potatoes.
To end the meal with a bang,
Sedo and her husband created
an “oil drill” cake.
“My husband designed it and
built the structure and I baked
the cakes,” said Sedo.
The symbolic references
didn’t stop there. Cake pops -upside down cake balls, dipped
in chocolate, with a lollipop
stick stuck in the top -- represented bags of money and a
chocolate fountain represented
flowing oil.

Jean Sedo, Jean Nygaard, Dana Flink, Kayla Melgaard and Melissa
Shellwere among staff members assisting with the event.
Some residents ate in silence
while others shared information about their family, land,
and wells.
Following the meal, the documentary “Boom Town: Wild
West” was shown. The special
evening ended with an oil quiz
game and visiting.
“We try to do special events
for the residents about twice a
month,” said Nygaard.
Other celebrations include
birthdays and tea parties.

MURDER: God uses the wicked TRESHING: Show wouldn t
as a correction for the wicked
happen without loyal people
(Continued from Page 1)
case as well, the perpetrators
have been described as individuals bent on taking another life
just for kicks.
That’s why Raymond Clay
says, “My brother did this community a great service,” he said.
“He just kept your children,
your husbands, wives and girlfriends from becoming this
guy’s next victim.”
No angel
Lee Clay had lived primarily in Crosby since March 2011,
after a dirt-biking buddy from
back home steered him toward
a job on the oil rigs.
A year later, Lee Clay was
back in Georgia, encouraging
his younger brother, Raymond,
to return to North Dakota with
him.
Just a short time after returning to Crosby, the Clay brothers
found themselves in contact
with local law enforcement
when, in connection with the
probation search of a local man,
Lee was charged with felony
possession of anabolic steroids
and Raymond was charged with
carrying a concealed weapon.
That the brothers themselves, have had run-ins with
the law, said Divide County
States Attorney Liz Pendlay,
makes them flawed humans,
not bad ones.
“We are not without compassion,” she said, dismissing the
Divide County charges against
Lee last week so his brother
could retrieve the bond money
he posted on Lee’s behalf.
That his brother wound up a
murder victim just 23 days after leaving Crosby in the wake
of bond issues Raymond said
made it impossible for him to
stay with local friends, causes
some hard feelings toward Divide County officials.
But Raymond also believes
everything happens for a reason.
“God uses the wicked as a
correction for the wicked. It
works both ways,” Raymond
said.
Though Lee had been convicted in the past of at least two
felony drug charges.
“All that stuff was behind
my brother. He came out here
to find a better life,” Raymond
said.
The steroids found on his
person during his May arrest
in Divide County, Raymond
maintains, were used only to
improve Lee’s performance as a
laborer in the brutal work environment that is North Dakota’s
oil patch.
Tough crowd
As for how or why Lee got
into Bridges’ van, Raymond
says the family was told the two
became acquainted while both
worked for a temporary labor
crew in the Bismarck area.
It’s not the first time trouble
has found Lee Clay through his
acquaintance with another law
breaker.
“Guys like us know guys like
us,” is how Raymond puts it,
though neither of the brothers
has the violent criminal history
of the accused killer.
Unfortunately, said Pendlay,
people who tend toward breaking the law are risking much
more than their own freedom.
“You heighten your odds to
be a victim,” she said, not that
anyone deserves to be murdered.
“It’s a terrible tragedy,” she
said.
Raymond suspects his brother, even though gravely injured,
may have played a role in causing the traffic accident that ultimately led to Bridges’ arrest.
Though Lee was just 5 feet 6
inches tall, Raymond said his
brother was “iron tough,” extremely muscular and quite capable of putting up a fight.
Fate or faith
Raymond finds comfort in his
brother’s faith in God.
After coming out of a two-anda-half year prison sentence four
years ago, Lee told him he was
ready to go should death find
him because he knew where he
was headed after he died.
“I believe God prepared him
for this,” said Raymond. “You
could see the conviction in his
eyes. He was absolutely unafraid.”
In addition to his parents,
brother and a sister, Lee is survived by a 10-year-old daughter,
Karissa Renae.
Raymond has no plans to
return to North Dakota, other
than to attend his own court
hearings. The Clay family’s
dream of finding a new life in
the oil patch died with Lee Clay.

“And don’t forget to visit Oris
Herland and the crew at the machine shop,” Tysse said.
An added bonus will be the
air conditioned kitchen, which
was remodeled by the Bakke
family last fall, with air conditioning contributed by the Glasoe family.
“Different families take over
the different buildings, keep
them up, and come out to tell
people about them,” said Orwick. “Everyone who helps is
very much appreciated.”
“I feel real good. We do it because we like to do it, not because we have to,” said Tysse.
Divide County Historical Society President Tabitha Jozwiak
said the volunteers are what
keeps it running each year.
“Any help is great, especially
if we can get younger people,”
she said.
The volunteers are looking
forward to another successful
Threshing Show this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Events
Friday’s events will begin
with the 5th annual Tractor-Cade. The first tractor-cade in 2008
was a huge success with over
40 participating tractors. The
route will begin at the Threshing grounds at 9 a.m. and travel
to the Crosby Country Club.
Also on Friday, the Peterson
Family will perform music at 7
p.m.
On Saturday an antique and
classic car show, talent show,
the big parade of tractors and
cars, and dancing to the music
of Dervin Wallin are scheduled.
Sunday includes another parade, but begins with the village
church service and concludes
with an antique and collectible
auction.
Kids can look forward to the
money in the straw, pedal tractor pull, kiddie train rides, and
games.
Daily events include free
horse drawn bus rides, antique
flea market and other vendors,
the farm toy show, the old
blacksmith and machine shop,
22 restored buildings to visit,
old time threshing, the Bradley
saw mill, and as always, good
home cooking.
A full schedule can be found
in this week’s Corner Market insert.
Admission for adults is $5 per
day or all three days for $12.
High school students get in
for $4 per day or all three days
for $10.
Children attend free.
There will be free parking
available on the grounds.

Oil Can! Cookfest brings good food, fun and information to Ray
By Cecile Krimm
Mouth-watering barbecue, informative education sessions and amusements for children all will be found at
the Oil Can! Cookfest Tuesday in Ray.
The celebration, which moves from
oil patch town to town each summer,
is literally a moveable feast, with oil exploration and service companies teaming up to show off their food preparation skills.
It’s a tradition the North Dakota Petroleum Council’s Tessa Sandstrom
suspects grew out of the fact so many
oil companies have their roots in the
Southern United States, where barbecue is as quintessential as rhubarb to
North Dakota.
“There are people who are actually
trained to cook,” Sandstrom said, and
ever more elaborate catering trucks
and trailers employed in pursuit of the
best barbecue.
Instead of delivering food to com-
pany rigs, next Tuesday the companies
will set up in the parking lot at NCC in
Ray to put on a feed for anyone who
cares to drop by.
The purpose of the Cookfest is to create good will in the oil patch and what
better way than through the stomachs
of locals?
As the tradition of the event has
grown in North Dakota, “They keep getting more and more into it, from hors
d’oeurves to whole meals with sides,”
said Sandstrom.
As well, many of the companies have
giveaways, from trinkets to valuable
branded merchandise.
“One of the goals of the North Dakota
Oil Can program is trying to develop relationships,” said Sandstrom, not only
among the oil field companies, but especially with local landowners, mineral
rights holders and public officials.
“It allows them to get to know the
people operating in their community
-- maybe put a face to the trucks and
logos they see in the area.”
It’s also a way of getting oil field workers connected to the community.
“A lot of these companies, their people do want to get involved,” said Sandstrom, and the Cookfest can serve as
an introduction.
This year’s Cookfest will include a
large inflatable slide for kids to play
on, entertainment by a clown and face
painting.
The Cookfest will also feature live
entertainment from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.,
including performances by Janelle Anderson and Kent Ralph in Ray.
Besides the food and the fun, people
with questions about oil field practices
and projects are invited to attend informational sessions, which begin at 2:30
p.m. in the NCC warehouse.
There, leaders from government and
industry will talk about the latest technologies as well as the challenges from
rapid community growth.
Local subscribers will find an insert in this week’s issue of The Tioga
Tribune containing a full schedule of
speakers.
Teams will begin serving their oil
patch delicacies around 5 p.m. and the
event will wrap up around 8 p.m.
“We appreciate everything the communities impacted by oil development do for the industry,” said Sandstrom, and Cookfest is a way of saying
thanks.
“Hopefully, Ray enjoys it as much as
the others have.”

a feeder route,” said School
Board President Pete Fagerbakke. “We’re going to have
to change our ways to get bus
drivers.”
If the amount of bus drivers
aren’t found by the start of the
year there will be Suburbans
that will have to be sent out to
get students.
A concern from drivers who
are potentially interested in
taking the job are what they
will actually be getting paid.
“We need to be able to say
what we have,” said Superintendent Sherlock Hirning.
The expected pay for a bus
driver is going to be a daily rate
of $50, with 15 cent per mile reimbursement and health insurance increases.
“Very few of the drivers take
health insurance,” Fagerbakke
said.
He said it may necessary to
approach people individually
to try to develop interest in the
positions.
Drivers who take students to
and from school isn’t the only
issue. Activity drivers are also
going to be needed, especially
when sports start up.
When sports do begin it will
cost a bit more for parents to
buy season tickets this year.
“I think our admission price
is in line with neighboring
schools. Our season tickets
are on the low side,” said Hirning.
It will cost adults $70 for
season tickets this year as opposed to last year’s $60.
The board felt it was best to
keep student season tickets the
same to encourage participation at athletic events.
The board also discussed
the need next month to look
further into the building fund
levy.
“We are safe to request up to
10 mills,”said Hirning. “We can’t
increase our general fund by
any more than 12 percent.”
In other business:
Board member compensation was reviewed and a decision was made to leave the rate
for attending a regular or special meeting at $60.
Committee meeting compensation was raised from $25
to $30, and Business Manager
Lynn Aaberg will now be paid
$30 for every meeting she attends.
The board accepted the
Lund Construction bid on coal,
but ultimately decided they are
going to need to rebid the gas
and propane.

This message
brought to you by
and your newspaper.
Thanks for
your vote
for open
government.
By Ron Smith, Horticulturist
NDSU Extension Service
Q: I have two apple trees.
On one tree, 10 percent of the
leaves have turned brown and
died. This tree had fire blight at
one time. The other tree has a
few leaves that have turned yellow and died. What is the cause
of this and what can I do to save
one or both trees? (email reference)
A: This is nothing to worry
about. This is like losing a few
hairs off your head and thinking
immediately that you are going
bald. A 10 percent or occasional
yellowing of the leaves on any
tree is normal and not harmful.
This could be the normal senescence of older leaves or an
indiscriminate feeding that took
place at the juncture of the leaf
petiole by mites. In either case,
unless it starts becoming widespread, it isn’t worth worrying
about.
Q: I have plum trees with fruit
that are one-third to one-half the
size of regular plums. The plums
also are turning a bluish red and
falling off. They have brown coloring on the flesh next to the pit.
(email reference)
A: At this stage, there is nothing you can do. The plum trees
likely will drop their fruit prematurely. If the plums remain
on the tree, pick them off and
dispose of them. Clean up all
the fallen fruit and foliage this
fall. This is a brown rot fungus
that can be carried over to the
following year. Protect the fruit
next year with timely sprays of a
fungicide as the flowers begin to
open. Fungicides such as Benomyl, Chlorothalonil or Triforine
will provide protection when label directions are followed. Examine the tree this fall when the
leaves have dropped and make
a note to remove any infected
or cankered stems while everything is dormant.
Q: I planted asparagus this
spring by digging a hole 8 inches
deep and then covered them with
2 inches of dirt. As they grew, I
covered them with more dirt until
the ground was back to its original level. I cut them off at ground
level and it took two weeks for
them to grow back. Was that a
mistake? They are at the point
where I could cut them again if
that is what should be done. I
have been given conflicting advice. One party said to cut them
down, while another said not to.
What should I do? (email reference)
A: Asparagus needs to produce fern growth each year after being harvested. This carries on photosynthesis for the
spears you want to harvest the
following spring. No matter who
tells you otherwise, don’t cut
those down.
Q: Can Roundup have a carryover in the garden, especially for
peas, strawberries and raspberries? If so, for how long? (email
reference)
A: Unless they have changed
the formulation of Roundup
to be soil active, it should not
have any carryover whatsoever.
That has been my experience
in using it. If you wait a growing
season before replanting, you
should be absolutely safe with
the market formulation of this
product.
Q: Will you give me permission to murder my husband? He
sprayed a herbicide to kill a few
lawn weeds in our backyard.
However, the drift impacted 22 of
my tomato plants. This isn’t the
first time he’s done this. You’d
think that after 22 years of marriage, he’d know how I feel about
herbicide use! I even stole it from
him, but he went out and bought
some more. When I confronted
him about this a day or two ago,
he denied having used any herbicide. However, when I showed
him a dead weed (and surrounding grass) where he applied
the herbicide, all he said was:
“I can’t believe that little bit of
2,4-D would cause that much of
a problem.” So the guilt is there
with my tomatoes and my hanging baskets. I’d like to murder
him and bury him in my garden
for use as a fertilizer. (telephone
reference)
A: While I’m not an expert
on justifiable homicide, I would
think that after being married
this long and knowing how
much you cherish your tomatoes that he would have known
better than to try to get away
with something like that. A few
weeds in a lawn are not going to
hurt anything, but his obvious
use of the 2,4-D herbicide will,
and did. Add to this the fact
that he tried to lie his way out
of this criminalizes him even
more. I think this is something
that needs to be addressed with
a lawyer present, along with
some counseling by a psychiatrist. Let me know what you find
out. However, let’s get back to
what I’m an expert at. The tomatoes are not going to recover
and should be pulled out. At
this late date, planting and getting a successful crop of any
consequence is very questionable. You would be better off
purchasing your tomatoes from
a farmers market.

Q: I am interested in taking
cuts off of Russian olive shrubs to
transplant into hedge rows. What
would the procedure be? (email
reference)
A: Are you sure you want
to propagate Russian olives?
Think it over carefully before
doing so because there are a
lot of problems associated with
this species. They can root from
cuttings taken in October and
treated with a rooting hormone.
The success of such attempts
is 20 to 25 percent under ideal
conditions. Seed is the preferred method of propagation,
but the seeds need stratification for 60 to 90 days at 41 degrees F before planting.
Q: We have a dogwood in our
yard. It was doing well for the last
three years when we moved in.
However, the tree is struggling
this year. Most of the branches
do not have leaves and the ones
that do are turning brown on the
edges. The only thing I could
think of is that the damage was
done when we were hit by hurricane Irene last year. The yard
was flooded with less than 2 feet
of seawater. Could this have affected the tree this hard? If so, is
there hope for it? What should
we do? (email reference)
A: The dogwood probably
is history. It is slowly dying
from the root system being immersed in seawater. That and
the remaining salt toxicity is
what are finishing off the tree. If
it does recover or survive, it will
not be the tree you want from
an ornamental standpoint. I’d
suggest removing it and getting
it replaced with another when
convenient.

Accident
claims life
of farmer
A Minot man was killed
Wednesday last week in a farming accident.
According to Divide County
Sheriff Lauren Throntveit, Gene
Melgaard, 73, was working with
his brother, Clarence, on the
family farm south of Noonan,
when the mishap occurred,
around 2 p.m.
“They were working to put
a header on a combine,” said
Throntveit. “It wasn’t going
quite right and then it just released completely off the combine.”
Melgaard was beneath the
header when it fell.
Melgaard lived in Minot but
farmed in Divide County. His funeral was held yesterday (Tuesday) in Minot. An obituary is
published on Page 3.
The Divide County Ambulance and the Noonan Fire
Department assisted at the
scene.

Section 6 Tournament will be
played in Crosby July 25-28
Ladd Simonson, Trevor Binde, Coach Nate Nelson, Andreas Holm (back), along with Morgan Jacobs
and Taylor Wigginton, enjoy a moment under the lights in Fargo, where they participated in the annual
Shrine Bowl.
Coach says DC Shrine Bowl players represent
their home town with ‘class and dignity’
By Megan Reberg
Andreas Holm had an impressive game in the
38th Annual North Dakota Shrine Bowl.
Despite losing 28-20, the West fought hard,
scoring on the opening drive of the game, when
starting quarterback Matthew Landenberger
found Holm across the middle for a 12-yard
touchdown pass that put the West up 6-0.
Holmes and his Divide County teammates all
were important factors in the game.
Morgan Jacobs was named one of the four
team captains, starting at defensive end and also
logging a lot of playing time at tight end.
Trevor Binde started on the offensive line.
Ladd Simonson played outside linebacker position. Taylor Wigginton played defensive end.
Holm’s second touchdown again came from
a pass from Landenberger. Holm then caught a
point after the touchdown to tie the game 20-20.
A safety and a 60-yard drive was what tipped
the scales in the East’s favor.
“As always these young men did a great job
representing the people of Divide County with
class and dignity,” said Coach Nate Nelson, who
attended the Bowl as an assistant coach.
The annual Shrine Bowl isn’t just about football. The players and coaches also toured the
Shrine Hospital in the cities.
“The main purpose of the game is to raise
awareness about what Shriners do, as well as to
fund raise,” Nelson said.
“Our players quickly realized how lucky they
are when they visited the Shrine Hospital,” he
said.

With an assortment of veteran players in their last season, Crosby Cubs Head Coach
Shane Fennell said this is their
year to win the Section 6 tournament, and possibly more.
“My expectations are to win
it,” he said. “I look forward to
these guys proving to themselves they can win it. I know
they are a great team.”
Seeding for the tournament
-- which will be held in Crosby
July 25, 26, 27 and 28 -- won’t be
done until the regular season
finishes, but Fennell expects
the Cubs to land a two or three
seed.
There are seven teams in the
tournament and the winner will
advance to state.
It’s been a successful season
for Crosby. But a trip to state
would only make it sweeter.
The team is sporting a winning record in league play and
can look forward to home field
advantage next week.
This is the first time since
2006 the Section 6 tournament
has come to Crosby. Last year
the tournament was held in
Garrison and it goes from place
to place each year.
Fennell believes home field
will be a key factor for his team
and help them stay focused.
“It’s good for the kids because we don’t have to travel.
They can stay in their own
beds,” he said.
The Cubs are led by Morgan
Jacobs, Taylor Wigginton and
Ladd Simonson. Crosby was recently without the trio because
of their participation in the
Shrine Bowl.
Youth baseball going strong
By Megan Reberg
As the day shifts from cool
and comfortable to hot and humid, about a dozen Crosby “peewee” baseball players get ready
to take on Kenmare.
Some of the fielders look
around distracted by the sights
and sounds around them, while
others stare intently at the batter, hands on their knees.
This is youth baseball.
After two batters strike out
swinging, the ball gets hit into
the infield. Two youngsters go
for the ball, the first baseman
runs to the base to get ready,
and everyone else yells.
“Get it! Throw it to first!
Quick!”
After three outs, the team
runs to the bench hoping that it
is their turn to bat.
“I like to bat,” said McKayla
Kocher. “It’s just a lot of fun.”
One of the kids yells out the
batting order, while the others
take the bench, go ask for money for Gatorade, or sit with their
parents.
Volunteer Coach Kurt Kocher
gives encouragement and advice to batters from behind the
plate.
“Good cut, swing through,
this is your last pitch, you better swing.”
Coach Ian Olsen pitches from
the mound. An injury on the
Crosby bench directs everyone’s attention to the sideline.
“Two outs! You still have a
batter left,” yells Olsen, trying
to get the game back on track.
As the next batter steps up
to the plate, a parent comments

Four in the fourth was what
put the Crosby Cubs on top of
the R.C. Muskrats on July 11.
It was a back and forth game,
said Coach Shane Fennell.
Crosby came from behind scoring four runs in the fourth to
take an 8-7 lead.
The seventh inning was
quite a nail biter according to
the coach. With the Cubs in the
field, the Muskrats grounded
out to second base and struck
out for the first two outs. The
cubs allowed two straight
walks and a single to load up
the bases. The cleanup hitter
was up at the plate, batted a
full count, then finally hit a pop
fly to left fielder Evan Bakewell
to end the game 8-7.
Kevin Cox pitched a complete game allowing seven runs
on six hits and five strikeouts.
Cox also had a good game
at the plate going two for four
with two RBIs.
Will Landsverk went three
for four. Kyle Bossingham went
two for two and Ethan Gjovig
went two for four.
Monday, July 9, two games
came after a two week break.
Crosby lost to Makoti in both
games.
Despite the two losses, Crosby is having a successful season with a league record of 6-3.
The Cubs’ next home game is
Friday, July 20, against Watford
City.
But a full roster will be available for the tournament.
The strength of the Cubs is
their ability to spray the ball
around the park.
With a strong lineup to keep
the team in ball games, how far
Crosby advances will depend
upon pitching and defense.
In past games, the Cubs have
had defensive lapses and shot
themselves in the foot, but if
the team fields, Fennell feels
they can be successful.
“All it comes down to, I
guess, is which defense shows
up and whoever can hit the
ball,” he said.
Crosby had a frustrating season last year in terms of wins
and losses, but with everyone a year older things have
changed.
“We got all of our returning
players from last year. They’re
all really good athletes.
“The kids have matured
-- gotten bigger. I guess they
know better what to do. When
they get older they get a littler
smarter with knowing where to
go,” Fennell said.
Fennell coached seven years
of Babe Ruth before accepting the position as the Legion
coach, which he has held the
past two years.
Since he was in Babe Ruth
for so long he has seen this
group of players develop from
when they were younger.
When Fennell was coaching
Babe Ruth he said he focused
more on fundamentals with the
kids. Now he is taking a more
“monotonous” approach.
“I’ve been coaching the same
group for a long time. I want it
to be fun, but, basically, I’m
going through the same thing,
drilling it in their heads,” he
said.
Competition heading into
the tournament will be tough.
Watford City and Garrison are
both sporting solid squads this
year.
Fennell said Garrison is a
fundamentally sound team
with good hitters and pitchers
who throw strikes.
Watford City and Crosby
haven’t played yet and will
meet Friday.
“In the past they’ve been
a really strong hitting team.
Deep pitching staff, lot of players that can throw strikes,” he
said.
The Cubs have been busy
this summer practicing two to
three times a week on top of
the same amount of games per
week.
Fennell is happy with the
team’s progress and likes their
chances heading into next
week’s tournament, with the
winner getting a spot in the
state tournament.

Anthony Johnson is the picture of determination when it’s his turn to bat for the Crosby peewees.
from the stands, “I don’t see any
blood, it should be okay.”
Crosby lost the game 4-1, but
they were successful in having
fun.
Olsen was hired by the city
to coach the Tball, peewees,
midgets, and the girls softball.
Kocher helps with the Tball, pewees, and midgets.
“I wanted to do it all,” said
Olsen. “I’ve always wanted to
coach.”
Kocher has been involved
with the youth program for
years because of his children.
“The biggest challenge is trying to be in two places at once,”
said Olsen.
“There are times when I am
coaching the softball team and
Kurt has to work so there’s no
coach. A parent has to step up
and coach,” said Olsen.
Even Olsen’s daughter, Haley,
helps. She was the third base
coach during the peewee game
then got ready to play in the
midget game. She also plays on
the softball team.
The softball season is now
over. The team had a disappointing championship game at
a Montana tournament.
“They had a great and awesome year. They deserved to

They ultimately came in second.
“I told the girls to be proud,”

Huwe House Movers prepare the Bummer barn, above,
for its move from south of Crosby to the Pioneer Village grounds. Moving day dawned with dense fog,
but it lifted early enough to allow utility crews to do
the job of cutting electrical lines, allowing the movers
to navigate the junction of ND 42 and ND 5 with little
trouble, at right. A few bystanders gather to witness
the historic trek, below.
Big ol barn move
Once positioned on its new foundation on the Pioneer Village
grounds, the barn blends seamlessly with its surroundings, as if
built on the spot. The barn will be
used in future years for sheltering the teams of horses used in
threshing and plowing demonstrations during the Divide County Historical Society s threshing
show each year, with off season
duty as additional storage for
equipment. The move was paid
for with a combination of grants
and donations.

Love of fun runs propels Johnson
to events around the country
By Brandon Becker
Johnny Cash once sang “I’ve
been everywhere, man” in regard to his extensive travels.
Bridget Johnson hasn’t been
everywhere, but her love of fun
runs has led her to a lot of different places.
“I enjoy doing it,” she said.
“It’s just something to do.
Something to get out of town
and do.”
Johnson, who organizes the
Crosby Fun Run-Walk each
year has done a total of 91 runs
-- usually 5ks but sometimes
more -- in the last seven years
or so.
She prefers walking to running and has walked over 291
miles in races since she first
started.
Roughly seven years ago,
Johnson went to visit some college friends who had moved
back to the Williston area. Her
friends were big into running
and did the Rendezvous Run,
so Johnson decided to walk it.
She hasn’t stopped walking
since.
“It’s just fun. If I find one and
it works out, yes, I will definitely do it,” Johnson said. “I
have traveled a long ways to
do them. I usually squeeze it in
with visiting family and kids.”
The farthest one she’s participated in was in Florida,
although she didn’t go there
for the run, but when she was
there she looked online and
found one in the area and
couldn’t resist.
“We happened to go to Florida and I looked up online and
found one 10 minutes from
where we were going to be,”
said Johnson. “It all depends
upon where I’m at.
“Wherever I happen to be I
check out on the Internet and
see if there’s one.”
Some interesting places
she’s done races are Salt Lake
City, Utah; Minneapolis, Minn.;
Billings, Mont.; Miami, Florida;
and Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Johnson used to bring her
family along or “drag” them as
she put it, but with her three

Run, along with a few helpers. The event this year drew 73 participants.
ta and North Dakota it’s harder
to do now.
“They’ve done a lot with me
up until they went to college,”
she said.
About half the time she finds
someone to join her and the
other half of the time she goes
by herself. When Johnson is by
herself, she said, she usually
strikes up conversation with
someone or listens to her iPod.
Johnson’s love of 5ks
prompted her to start her own
in Crosby. Six years ago she got
serious about organizing an
event.
The first year of the fun run
Johnson was able to get six
sponsors. This year she was
able to land 45, illustrating just
how much the run has grown,
along with the willingness of
businesses to support it.
“I wanted to have one in
Crosby. I do a lot of work with
the Prairie Tumbleweeds, so
I thought it would benefit the
Tumbleweeds,” Johnson said.
“It ended up being a fundraiser.”
She said 54 people attended
the first fun run, there were
73 this year and the highest
amount to ever attend was 106.
Johnson does the majority
of the work, getting the sponsors and figuring out the logistics, but she doesn’t partake
in the race itself. Even though
Johnson didn’t walk the course
during the race Saturday, she
walked it a couple of times prior to the event, and she plans
on doing another 10 races before the end of the year.
Normally the fun run is held
on the same weekend as the
threshing show, which helps
bring in more people to the
race. Despite the schedule
change, there was still a solid
turnout.
“Everybody who participated had a good time,” Johnson
said.

Time is right to try Krecklau Ranch to host range tour
County
using fresh herbs
Q. Last week, I used fresh dill
weed in a recipe for the first
time and was surprised how
mild it was -- very different from
the dried dill I normally use.
I want to try using more fresh
herbs. Any ideas on where I
should start?
A. Sure. But you should
know that the first rule of cooking with fresh herbs is this:
There are no rules. Have fun
and experiment, using small
amounts at first as you figure
out what you like.
Using herbs is a great way to
add rich flavor to foods. They
are often touted as alternatives
to salt, which is linked to an
increased risk of high blood
pressure, but they can also add
zest when you reduce sugar or
fat in a recipe.
Ohio State University Extension has a free fact sheet, “Selecting, Storing and Using Fresh
Herbs,” available to download
at http://go.osu.edu/ohiolineherbs. Some of the advice it
offers includes:
*Handle fresh herbs gently. Oils that give herbs their
aroma and flavor readily
escape from the leaves, seeds
and stems if they’re injured.
*If you have more of an herb
than what you can use immediately, you can store it in the
refrigerator for a week or more
by trimming off the ends of the
stems on the diagonal and putting them upright in a tall glass
or vase with an inch of water.
Cover it loosely with a plastic
bag, allowing air to circulate.
Change the water daily.
*Extended cooking will
weaken the flavor of fresh
herbs, so for soups or stews,
add them in the last 45 minutes
of cooking. On the other hand,
in cold foods such as dips,
dressings, cheeses or cold
vegetables, add fresh herbs
several hours or overnight
before serving.
*If you’re not familiar with
the flavor of a new herb, mix
it with margarine or butter
and let it set for about an
hour. Then spread it on a plain
cracker to taste.
The fact sheet also lists
some popular fresh herbs, from
anise to thyme, and suggests
dishes to try them in.
The Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics also has some
tips in an online slide show,
“Flavor Your Meals: Must-Have
Summer Herbs,” at http://bit.
ly/flavorherbs. It offers information on using both favorite
and uncommon fresh herbs,
including rosemary, mint,
basil, dill, oregano, cilantro,
bee balm, chives, lavender and
lemon verbena.
Another good reference on
using fresh herbs (and, actually, for all things culinary) is the
book “The New Food Lover’s
Companion” by Sharon Tyler
Herbst and Ron Herbst. It has
thousands of entries on foods
and cooking techniques, as
well as herbs and spices. Take
a look -- you might be surprised
at what you don’t know.
Avoid heat related illness
Even if you think you’re getting used to these high temperatures, you need to watch out
for signs of heat-related illness.
Forms of heat-related illness
include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, says
Tammy Roberts, University of
Missouri Extension nutrition
and health specialist.
Heat cramps usually occur
as a result of heavy sweating,
usually several hours after a
person has been out of the
heat, Roberts said. Cramps can
be very painful and usually affect the arms, legs or abdomen.
“To help prevent heat
cramps, drink a fluid that has
electrolytes during and after
long periods of heavy sweating,” she said.
Heat exhaustion happens
when the body loses the ability
to cool itself. This can occur
when a person has been sweating heavily and not replacing fluids and electrolytes.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion
include headache, dizziness,
loss of coordination, impaired
judgment, anxiety, clammy
skin and a weak, rapid pulse.
Someone exhibiting these
symptoms needs to be cooled
down and drink fluids. Have
them checked by a doctor.
Heat stroke, the most serious heat-related illness, is lifethreatening. It occurs when the
body has lost too much water
Home On
The Range
By Peggy Anderson
and salt. That loss, along with
the body’s inability to cool
itself, makes body heat rise to
dangerous levels. Symptoms
of heat stroke include a high
body temperature with no
sweating; any of the above
symptoms of heat exhaustion;
nausea and vomiting; seizures;
difficulty breathing; and high
blood pressure. If you suspect
someone has heat stroke, call
911 and try to cool the person
as quickly as possible.
Anyone can suffer from a
heat-related illness, but the
people at greatest risk are
infants and young children,
senior citizens, people who
are obese and those who are
already physically ill.
Roberts urges people to
drink plenty of fluids during
these times of extreme heat.
“Water is a great choice. Fluids
with electrolytes are recommended for long periods of
heavy sweating.”
The 12th Annual Tri-County
Range Tour will be held on
Tuesday, July 31 at the Jamison
and Holly Krecklau Ranch,
located approximately 3 miles
east of Noonan on Highway
5 and then 1 mile south and
1.5 miles west. Signs will be
posted. The tour will begin at
9:30 am with registration and
coffee, followed by a welcome
and introduction of speakers at
9:45 am.
This year’s tour will consist
of a variety of speakers presenting topics on range management and grazing systems.
For the morning program,
John Dhuyvetter, area livestock
specialist with the NDSU Extension Service will talk about
mineral programs and supplement for grazing cattle.
Another topic will be fences
and portable windbreaks.
Whether you are talking about
grazing systems or ways to
extend the grazing season,
fences are an important factor
to consider. If you are talking about ways to extend the
grazing season, then protection
can become a consideration.
Jody Foreman, rangeland
management specialist with
the Natural Resources Conservation Service, will talk about
programs available to help with
fences and windbreaks and
the specifications for fences
and windbreaks under these
Agent
By Keith Brown
programs.
Featured speaker for the
Range Tour will be Chad Ross,
livestock producers from
Estevan, Saskatchewan on
“Winter Cows North of the 49th
Parallel.” Ross will talk about
non-traditional ways of wintering cows that are using in their
operation to reduce expense
and labor requirements.
To round out the morning
program, Kevin Sedivec, NDSU
Extension Rangeland Management Specialist, will talk about
determining pasture rental
rates on both a per acre and
Animal Unit Month (AUM) basis.
A noon lunch will be served
at the ranch.
Following lunch, the Krecklau’s will provide an overview
of their ranching operation
and handling facilities. Kevin
Sedivec will then talk about
range site identification and
stocking rates based on range
sites and the management of
expiring CRP for hay or forage
production.
The Tri-County Range Tour is
open to all interested producers at no charge. Participating
agencies that are helping to
make the tour possible include
the NDSU Extension Service,
Natural Resources Conservation Service and Soil Conservation Districts in Burke, Divide
and Mountrail Counties and the
US Fish and Wildlife Service.
For more information on the
tour, contact the Divide County
NRCS or SCD office at 965-6001
or the Divide County Extension
office at 965-6501.
Water screening offered
As part of the Williston
Research Extension Center Dryland Field Day scheduled for
next Tuesday, July 24, NDSU Extension specialists will screen
your water free of charge. “If
you drink water or irrigate from
a private well or question the
quality of your livestock water,
this would be a great opportunity to have it screened by
Extension water quality specialists at no charge,” says Roxanne Johnson, NDSU Extension
Service water quality associate.
Johnson will also be available to answer questions at
the field day on federal Spill
Prevention, Control and Countermeasure regulations and
will have information on water
quality in areas of oil activity
at the Williston and Dickinson
centers. She also will have
bottles for well owners to send
water samples to certified
laboratories for chemistry tests
suggested for oil activity areas.
Fees for these tests generally
run from $50 to more than
$100.
Water samples for the field
day screening should be collected in any clean plastic
bottle capable of holding 15
to 20 ounces. To obtain your
sample, you should allow the
water to run for 30 seconds
and then rinse the bottle three
times before filling it, according
to Johnson. Substances that
Extension specialists will test
for on-site include nitrates and
total dissolved solids. They’ll
also test for pH (acidity or alkalinity) and hardness. This is a
screening only.
Minnesota Valley Testing
Laboratories (MVTL) is offering a 33 percent discounted
rate to test water for a coliform
group of microorganisms that
includes E. coli. Johnson will
have sterile bottles for people
to take home to collect a sample and send it to the MVTL lab
in Bismarck. The cost for this
test, including shipping, is $12.
You will need to pay the fee
when you pick up the sterile
bottle from Johnson at the field
day events.
Field day activities will begin at 8:30 am with coffee and
rolls at 8:30 a.m. followed by
the crop tour at 9 a.m.
