The apple tree blossoms have exploded in rosy pink all over Traill County, including next to the
memorial cabin in Mayville’s Pioneer Park.
With only a few days remaining
of the 2014-2015 school year, Principals Jeff Houdek of the May-Port
CG Elementary School and Scott
Ulland of the Middle and High
Schools gave a rundown of the activities for the final days of the year.
Some of the outdoor events, such
as the elementary play days, were
affected by the rain, which was
welcomed by everyone except the
kids who were looking forward to
the end-of-the-year outdoor events.
Ulland spoke on the 2015-2016
academic schedules which are quite
well in place. New electives offered
next year will be music history and
music appreciation in the music
department and nutrition and food
preparation in FACS. “Our curriculum and choices are ever-changing
to supply the needs and wants of
the students,” said Ulland. The
kids are turning in their choices
this week. The last week will be the
normal final test schedule, Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday and
Thursday with the end of the year
awards and graduation practice
for the seniors. Graduation will be
held on Memorial Day observed,
Sunday, May 24, at 2 p.m.
Under the summer revitalization program, Supt. Mike Bradner
informed the board that 16 elementary teachers had a total request of
285 hours for a total cost of $3,562.
An additional ten hours of training time will be provided for the 11
science teachers for an estimated
cost of $1,500. This training will
take place the week before school
begins, said Bradner. At the high
school level, 11 teachers requested
230 hours at a total cost of $2,875.
The total cost for the revitalization program is approximately
$7,940 which is within the budget
guidelines, according to Business
Manager Deanna Kville. The board
accepted the revitalization program applications as presented by
Bradner.
The new teacher laptops are in
and technology coordinator, David
Torgeson, is getting them up and
ready for the teachers. The current
laptops can be used for the revitalization projects and may be purchased by the teachers for $50. Any
leftover laptops will be repurposed.
Bradner asked that the wireless
system at the elementary school
be replaced and upgraded. The
one being used now is a hand-me-
‘Where miracles happen every day’
Sanford Health-Mayville recognizes National Hospital Week
By James R. Johnson
Roger Baier, Sanford Health-Mayville
administrator, has collections of keepsakes
from the hospital/clinic’s history dating back
to March 7, 1898, when Union Hospital came
to be.
He’s come across a book of board minutes from 1929-1933, a financial statement
from 1974, a 1930 power of attorney to sign
monthly prohibition papers, photographs
and scrapbooks.
‘We have tubs of stuff laying around,”
Baier said.
Several of the items would be on display
May 15 in the Sanford-Mayville cafeteria for
the “Blast from the Past” employee picnic, a
fitting end to National Hospital Week, May
10-16. The theme was “Where miracles happen every day.”
Those miracles come from a hospital and
clinic staff of 62 employees, who average just
under 19 years of service to maintain care at
the 25-bed critical-access medical center.
Thursday, May 14, Sanford-Mayville honored its Caring Club, which in its 21 years
has contributed to about $100,000 worth
of improvements at the hospital. Previous
afternoons included a bean-bag toss and ice
cream floats, all dedicated to celebrating five
years as Sanford Medical-Mayville.
Portland Senior
Center to host
legislative
forum
District 20 Sen. Phil Murphy,
Rep. Gail Mooney and Rep. Rick
Holman will present a legislative
session wrap-up Monday, May 18
during the monthly meeting of the
Portland Golden Age Club in the
Portland Senior Center.
The presentation will begin after
the potluck lunch, at about 1 p.m.
Hillsboro sales
tax repurpose
passes
Turnout wasn’t big, but by a
five-to-one margin, Hillsboro residents overwhelmingly voted May
12 to repurpose the city’s 1% sales
tax toward retiring debt on current
and future city projects.
Of the 132 votes cast Tuesday
and seven absentee ballots, 116
voted “Yes” and 23 voted “No.”
The city will target projects affecting the greatest number of city
residents. Priorities for debt retirement will be:
1. Any debt that results in a
deficiency mill levy;

Building blocks
Mayville’s first hospital was built in the
summer of 1898 near the old stockyard at
Fourth Street and Fourth Avenue Southeast,
south of the modern-day Tesoro. The land
donated by the Grandin family was financed
by $600 collected from throughout Mayville
and surrounding areas.
That original hospital was designed like
a house so that it could be converted to a
private residence should the medical venture
fail.
It didn’t.
In the mid 1930s, mothers began delivering babies at Union Hospital. Fees for an
obstetrical case were $25 for a ten-day stay;
the hospital absorbed the cost for any additional days.
In 1950, the City of Mayville donated land
for a new hospital, built as a cost of $350,000.
The expanded facility would add radiology, coronary care, intensive care, physical
therapy, and a pharmacy.
Sanford was one of five pilot hospitals in
North Dakota in 1986 to establish a swingbed program.
In 1996, the medical center was among
the top-20 rural hospitals in the United States

Central
Valley gives
Chromebooks
a trial run
By James R. Johnson
The Central Valley School
District will follow May-Port
CG and Hatton schools and
give Chromebooks a trial run.
A Chromebook is a laptop used while connected to
the Internet, and schools are
its biggest customers. With
students able to e-mail reports
and assignments to teachers,
Chromebooks save on printing.
Jeremy Brandt, Central
Valley District superintendent,
and Frank Justin, principal,
visited with administrators
and tech coordinators at MayPort CG and proposed May
15 to the Central Valley School
Board to purchase 25 machines
for a trial run in the 2015-16
school year. The cost estimate
of $6,250 will be covered under
the current year’s school
budget.

Proceeds from TRWD auction
will keep customer rates stable
By James R. Johnson
There were plenty of smiles the
morning of the May 7th monthly
meeting of the Traill Rural Water
District.
One reason surely was that rain
was falling. Another would be the
proceeds from an April 18 auction
of excess inventory.
Manager Neil Breidenbach said
before the auction that $60,000 to
$65,000 raised would keep TRWD
from having to hike customer rates.
The auction brought in more
than $130,000.
“Unbelievably good,” Breidenbach expressed. “This is going to
help us keep our rates stable.”
The auctioneer must still be
paid and TRWD directors Vern
Asheim and Eric Strand will be
compensated for mileage and the
time they contributed to planning
the auction.
“We did real good,” Strand
stated, adding that the turnout and
revenue “went beyond what I was
hoping for. We sold everything.”
In his monthly financial report,
Breidenbach said revenue for
the month of April was up about
$5,000 compared to April 2014,
while water purchases were down
about 15%. He said the line item for
water line maintenance will mount
down from the high school which
had received it from Mayville State
University many years ago. The
board approved the request for the
new system at a cost of $20,500.
The leveled reading project
is well in place, especially in the
elementary school, but it required
some changes in the middle-school
schedule. There will be a trial and
error period, but flexibility allows
adjustments to be made to accommodate other classes and schedules.
The administration requested
to be allowed to use a different
testing configuration for evaluation
under the No Child Be Left Behind
program. The way testing is set
up now, it’s kindergarten through
grade five, grades six through
eight, and middle- and high school.
Bradner asked that the new configuration be kindergarten through
grade five and grades six through
twelve, thus giving more students
in the sample, which would be
beneficial to the district. The board
approved the request.
The budget and finance committee has been working with the ne-

auction were better than expected. More than $130,000 from
the sale of equipment means customer water rates should remain stable.
because of all the leaks being discovered in the system.
Breidenbach also reported a
positive development covering the
contract for a well field operated by
TRWD on Motter’s land.
The Motters had been seeking
$1 million over the term of a 99year lease, but an e-mail from 2006
revealed the district agreed to pay
far less.
Spruce Lane plumbing
Michael Waldner, leader of the
Spruce Lane (Hutterite) Colony
was present to talk about billing
the colony for rural water use.
Breidenbach said a visit revealed the colony had done a lot of
its own plumbing, with multiple
lines flowing through a solitary meter he said was too small.
Breidenbach said TRWD policy
is one meter per membership hookup.
Waldner said there are 26 people
occupying three apartment houses,
two trailers, and a farmstead. He
said the colony plans to have its
own water treatment plant, and
that in the future, the colony’s cement plant would run on well water, not rural. Waldner confirmed
all of the colony’s bills are paid
from a single account.
TRWD directors moved in favor
of an agreement for Spruce Lane:
• To pay the standard $55
monthly fee for each dwelling, with
the colony issuing the names of
people in each household;
• To be billed for a larger meter.
Breidenbach recommended a
one-and-a-half- or two-inch meter,
which costs a minimum of $1,600;
• Notify the district if occupancy in any of the dwellings goes
up; and
• To permit the district the right
to inspect all TRWD hook-ups.
Breidenbach said the district
will have to watch Spruce Lane
very closely “because they have
lines running all over.”
The TRWD board also moved
to:
• Drop the monthly $55 charge
to the City of Mayville and just bill
the city for rural water use;
• Have Breidenbach purchase
and install a check valve to prevent
contamination on one of four lines

TRWD analysis
nears completion
By James R. Johnson
Results of an analysis performed
on the restricted funds received by
Traill Rural Water District per the
Joint Powers agreement will soon
be presented to the Traill County
State’s Attorney’s Office.
At the May 7 monthly meeting
of the TRWD board, Justin Frye,
CPA, of Frye Consulting of Fargo,
N.D., disclosed he was about 75%
complete with the analysis.
TRWD board meeting minutes,
Joint Powers Regional board meeting minutes, prior year’s financial
audit reports and other records are
being included in the review.
Former TRWD manager Jerome
Olson resigned at the start of 2014.
Files and paperwork were turned
over to the Bureau of Criminal
Investigation, which has been
conducting numerous interviews
during the past 18 months.
Constantly bombarded with
questions from members, TRWD
directors moved in April to have
Frye finish his analysis and submit
a hard copy to Stuart Larson, Traill
County State’s Attorney. TRWD
has filed a theft insurance claim
and what was submitted to the insurance company also will be given
to Larson.
Realtor group discloses rental rates for ALCO property
By James R. Johnson
A realtor group from Fargo is in
charge of the property on the east
end of Mayville that once housed
ALCO.
At the May 7 meeting of the
Mayville-Portland Economic
Development Committee, Cassie
Olson with Valley Land Investments
reported Property Resources Group
is handling ALCO, asking for rent of
$6.75 per square foot at 22,000 square
feet. Several MPEDC directors said
the group is including the parking
lot, because the interior of the ALCO
building is about 17,000 square feet.
So far, no takers.
Though figures have not been
released, it’s more than likely that
both Mayville and Portland have
seen sales tax revenue decline since
the February closing of ALCO.
A portion of sales tax revenue
supports a 20-year commitment by
both Mayville and Portland to paying for the Wellness Center on the
Mayville State University campus.
Sales tax revenue also funds street
maintenance, an expensive upkeep.
“Like any person in our communities, we’re always concerned about
any loss of business,” Ernie Strube,
MPEDC president and president of
Goose River Bank, told the Tribune.
“I think there’s an opportunity for
new business to come in as a result,
though it may not be on the same
scale as ALCO, but a loss of sales tax
revenue is always detrimental to a
community.”
MPEDC is also funded by a percentage of city sales tax revenue.
Tom Capouch, MPEDC secretary
and president of First and Farmers
Bank, told the Tribune that it’s baffling to him that the ALCO property
hasn’t fielded many offers.
“The significant issue is having
that anchor store,” Capouch said.
“That’s a good, profitable business
out there. It’s befuddling.”
When asked if the Mayville City
Council might consider a tax increase
to make up for the sales tax revenue
lost, Alderman Merv Carlson told the
Tribune that no one has mentioned it.
of students entering grades K-6 said
19 families would use the program.
Brandt said it would also help the
district retain and maintain student
enrollment.
The board moved to follow a
recommendation of teachers to discontinue homeroom time next year
because the 20-minute time period
wasn’t being utilized enough to make
it worthwhile. The extra time will be
scheduled to add one minute between
class periods and extend each class
time by two minutes.
The board accepted the resignation of fourth-grade teacher Marla
Ingebretson. Katie Kolness was hired
to teach sixth grade with the knowledge that the fourth-grade post may
open up. The board accepted her
transfer to fourth grade and moved to
hire Northwood native Cory Sherva
as sixth-grade teacher.
In other action, the board moved
to:
• Purchase a dozen new desks for
staff and teachers;
• Set the classroom salary at
$1,600 for Linda Dockter to teach
driver’s education, plus $25 an hour
for behind-the-wheel instruction;
• Pay expenses for student James
Knain, who qualified for the National
Tech Student Association Conference.
• Set 7 p.m. Monday, June 15 for
the next school board meeting, which
will be six days after the school board
election.
• Cardio-Stress echo testing;
• Electronic medical records;
and
• A cancer survivor exercise program, “a great addition to the community through Cardiac Rehab,”
Baier said.
Funds from this summer’s
Sanford 5K/10K walk/run will
go toward a new rowing machine
for Cardiac Rehab and Move4Life
classes.
Safety hazards have been addressed to fix tripping hazards on
the entry way carpet and cafeteria
floor tiles.
Sanford-Mayville just hired a
second speech therapist to help
with pediatric customers in Hillsboro, Northwood and Mayville.
“We hope in the next couple of
years that number of speech therapists will grow,” Baier said.
Health Association has recognized
Sanford Hospital among the top 100
in the country for “Best Practices
in Quality,” measured through the
“hospital strength index.” The rankings are based on percentile scores
compared with all U.S. hospitals.
For risk, health care value, and
performance (financial stability),
Sanford-Mayville received an index
rank of 95.3 out of 100.
“Fantastic,” Baier exclaimed. “It
shows we are doing a lot of things
right.”
“It’s a testimony to the hard
work that everybody goes together,” said Doris Vigen, director of
nursing. “We’re fortunate to have
an excellent medical staff.”
That staff includes two physicians, three nurse practitioners,
more than a dozen registered
nurses, five full- and part-time lab
technicians, West Traill Ambulance
Service, plus valued help from the
home office.
“Our network executive team
in Fargo really goes to bat for us,”
Baier said. “There are challenges
when working with corporate
versus independent, but it’s been a
good affiliation.”
As for the Sanford-Mayville’s
future?
“We could be putting more emphasis on outpatient services. You
just never know,” Baier said.
But Baier and Mark Duncan,
director of Sanford Clinic, agree on
the health center’s immediate goal.
“We’re working diligently, striving to be the hospital of choice for
our service area.”

Taxable sales figures revised
Revised taxable sales and purchase figures from the North Dakota
Tax Department for the fourth quarter of 2014 were up 15.5% statewide
from the year before, with the retail
sector recording a 4.59% increase.
However, the figure was down
almost 25% in Traill County. Compared to 2013, Mayville’s fell 15.47%,
but the figure is sure to fall for the
first quarter of 2015 with the loss of
ALCO.
Hillsboro’s taxable purchases and
sales for the fourth quarter of 2014
were down 34% from the previous
year.

The summer projects were lined
up at the April board meeting and
several are already underway. The
roofing project and shingle removal
had begun and then the rains began, said Bradner. The major building project involving the addition
and renovation to the high school
has been pushed back a year, but
the district will continue to work
with ICON Architectural Group of
Grand Forks. A representative of
the firm will be attending the June

feedback from previous meetings.
While there isn’t a pressing
need, there was a short discussion
on the possibility of purchasing a
larger activity bus and a driver’s
education vehicle. Bradner indicated he would contact Finley Motors
about vehicles.
The board approved a three-year
contract with Sanford Health for an
athletic trainer at $2,400 per year.
The district has had a contract with
Sanford and the former MeritCare

Activities Director Eric Nygaard.

Our birds are returning, even
the black ones, and are they ever
hungry. It’s so much fun and relaxing to sit before our big living-room
window and watch them feed,
frolic, and sometimes fight for the
best perch. Our yellow finches are
here; they are so awesome when
they hover in mid-air waiting for
their turn. They resemble hummingbirds.
Talking about birds, here’s one
last spring limerick from a fifthgrade class in Fargo.

Norwegian heritage to be celebrated
at Norman Lutheran
By Shelia R. Anderson
“Let’s celebrate Syttende Mai by
doing something special!”
(Syttende Mai is Norway’s Constitution Day.)
Because Syttende Mai, the Seventeenth of May, falls on a Sunday,
the idea to celebrate Norwegian
heritage during worship service
and coffee hour took root and
grew into what is promising to
be a fun celebration. The Norman
Lutheran Church in Clifford traces
its beginnings back to a group of
Norwegian settlers who founded
the Norman Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Congregation in what
was then Dakota Territory on May
29, 1882. Descendants of some of
those early members still live in the
area.
Jump ahead to May 17, 2015,
and celebrate a day of Norwegian
Heritage by attending the 8 a.m.
worship service at the Norman
Lutheran Church in Clifford with
Pastor Julie Johnson officiating.
During the worship service and
coffee hour, there will be hints of
old Norway and how things were
done in the “old days.” Some old
traditions may come alive again, if
even for a short while.
Everyone is invited to participate by wearing Norwegian
clothing, jewelry or red, white and
blue, the colors of the Norwegian

of the congregation can also bring
authentic Norwegian items for
display, such as old letters or books
in Norwegian, photos or household
items. The displayed items will
be identified and described by the
owners. Memories will be triggered
and there will be a lot of reminiscing and stories told.
Traditional Norwegian foods
will be the highlight of the coffee
hour with genuine egg coffee and
Norwegian specialties prepared by
members of the congregation.

much-needed rain; we got three
inches here in Portland and no
snow.
Sunday school is almost over
and awards will be given on the
next two Sundays in all of our area
churches. Here’s a quip for all to
enjoy.
Avery, our four-year-old granddaughter, was overheard talking to
God on her toy cell phone. She had
a lengthy conversation, telling the
Lord where she was and what she
was doing. But the best part was
when she suddenly said, “God, can
you please hold on a second? Jesus
is calling.”
Our community was again
saddened to learn that Jeanette He-
skin had passed away. She was a
member of my circle at Aurdal and
a very dear friend to all of us. She
always added so much to our Bible
studies. Prayers of concern are extended to her nieces, nephews and
other relatives.
I must go to the hospital and say
good night to Hoppy, my husband
of 60 years. This is getting to be a
bit more than both of us can take,
but I guess “one day at a time” says
it all.
Until we chat again, you know
that God loves KNEE-mail.
Take care and God bless.
The Traill County Soil Conservation District, a non-profit branch
of state government, with support
of the Traill County USDA Service
Center is planning a Women’s Ag
Night at the St. Rose of Lima Parish Center in Hillsboro, Thursday
evening, Nov. 5, 2015.
Many women have become
equal partners in agricultural
operations and are vital parts of the
decision-making processes but are
overlooked when it comes to Agrelated information and educational meetings. The intent of this event
is to join women interested and
involved in agriculture and offer
them an evening that is educational
and fun.
Traill County Women’s Ag
Night will provide attendees with
several agriculture related updates,
including Natural Resources Conservation Service, Traill County Soil
Conservation District, Traill County
Extension, and USDA-Farm Service
Agency. In addition, a meal will be
provided along with entertainment
and door prizes.
No matter what your role is
in agriculture, whether you were
raised on a farm, live on a farm
or are an agriculture enthusiast,
women are invited to attend this
special event.
A great deal of effort has and
will continue to go into making
this night a success. We have high
hopes that Traill County and surrounding area women will rally
around it and invest in themselves
by attending this enjoyable and
educational gathering.
We are thrilled to be able to
bring an event like this to Traill
County!
Approximately 150 tickets for
this event will be available for purchase at the Traill County USDA
Service Center this fall. For more
information you can contact the
Traill County USDA Service Center
at 701-436-5101.

high school and graduated in the Class of ‘52. Faith now lives
in Raleigh N.C., Eloise lives in Sacramento, Calif. and Pat has
lived in Colorado Springs for nearly 60 years. They always enjoy reminiscing about growing up in the Portland-Mayville area
and about the many good people who were an important part
of their lives. One of the afternoons they enjoyed lunch at the
famous Broadmoor Hotel. The next day found them touring
the Garden of the Gods. They plan a repeat in another year,

Larry Olson of Mayville has
been fitted with a Left Ventricular Assist Device, or
LVAD, until a suitable transplant is found. A benefit for
Olson has been set for May
27 at Ebenezer Church in
Mayville.
By James R. Johnson
Larry Olson was out for a walk
down the hospital hall when the
Tribune reached his wife, Linda,
May 11.
Olson was an electronics technician at American Crystal Sugar up
until a couple of years ago when
his failing heart put him on disability. Doctors said he would need
a heart transplant.
“He has a very common blood
type, so it may be a year to three
years until a suitable donor is
found,” Linda told the Tribune.
Until then, Larry has some
new equipment to get accustomed
to. Two weeks ago, surgeons at
St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester,
Minn., attached an LVAD, or Left
Ventricular Assist Device, to his
heart.
“The LVAD is his next adventure,” Linda said. “He’s progressing very nicely.”
She added that his post-surgery
appetite is healthy, after being
restricted to liquids before the procedure. “He was so happy to have
real food.”
Linda said Larry is progressing
so well that the couple may return
to Mayville later this week.
Larry was also a volunteer with
West Traill Ambulance.
An account has been set up for
Larry at Goose River Bank to help
cover medical expenses. A pulledpork supper and silent auction is
set for 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, May
27 at Ebenezer Church in Mayville.
Supplemental funds have been provided through Thrivent Financial.

Welcome to the Ship of
State, Captain Hagerott
Welcome aboard, Captain Mark
Hagerott, as our latest chancellor
of North Dakota
higher education.
Your extensive
naval experience
will serve you
well, but the best
thing going for
you is the lack
of exposure to
Lloyd
academia. This
Omdahl is not a position
for meditators,
former lt. gov. of ND
former UND political speculators or
theorists. It is a
science professor
hand-to-hand
ground war.
If you know the history of our
chancellors, you will know that
coming to North Dakota for that
position is an act of courage Purple Heart courage.
Job One will be to define the
meaning of “system” in the socalled university system. One of
the reasons we have been going
through chancellors like wheat
bundles through a threshing rig is
because we don’t have consensus
on the meaning of “system.”
To college presidents, a system
means that the chancellor and the
Board of Higher Education will
not meddle in college affairs unless they get into trouble with the
Legislature.
To faculty, a system means less
teaching, higher salaries and more
fringe benefits.
To the Legislature, a system
means bowing, scraping and pandering to whichever committee is
demanding attention.
To students, a system means less
course content, fewer exams and
more binge drinking.
To parents, a system means
that college will guarantee a job
immediately – or sooner- upon
graduation.
Unless these various constituencies get on the same page, conflict
and discontent will continue to
reign on the higher education
scene.
Now you used the expression “management style” in your
interview. Don’t ever use such
language again.
You are in a state government
that can function only because
it has 130 committees and com-
missions, twice as many elected
officials as other states, the largest
legislature outside of New Hampshire and more local governments
per capita than any other state –
one for every 235 residents, to be
exact.
Everybody who wants an office
in North Dakota can have one.
Some people have two.
This structure ought to tell you
that we can’t tolerate management
so there’s no use aggravating the
natives. I know that the expression “chain of command” means
something to a military guy but it
is a red flag in North Dakota.
Our non-management style
was determined by the “doctrine
of first settlement” which consists
basically of every person for him or
herself. Individualism and equality pre-empt management and
efficiency. This is demonstrated
every time the governor goes to the
Capitol coffee shop and is greeted
with “Hi! Jack.”
We used to have several city
managers in North Dakota but after
the good government movement
subsided we quietly disposed of
them. Minot has the only survivor.
You have cause to pause when
Gallup ranked North Dakota as
one of the “above average” conservative states but also has a stateowned bank and mill. The Russian
wheat-buying teams could never
understand it. They bought wheat
and left muttering.
We would sell these two political anomalies except they have
been very profitable. Their survival
for 100 years tells us that socialism
works if you give it a chance.
Newspapers reported that
the Board is providing you with
$15,000 for moving expenses. My
advice is that you save half of it just
in case. Historically, “just in case”
is not as speculative as you may
think.
Did they tell you that you were
entitled to hazardous duty pay?
It isn’t too late to call in sick or
claim a disabling case of autophobia (being alone) or agoraphobia
(open spaces).
If bad comes to worse, God can
hear you from here no matter what
they told you at the Naval Academy.
…about the brainy bunch
I’ve never claimed to be smart.
Oh, I got good grades, graduated
with honors from
high school and
college, and all
that stuff, mostly
because I read
a lot and had a
good memory.
At least I used to
have.
What was I
talking about
again? Oh, yeah.
“Smarts.”
Last week I
Myrna Lyng
saw “smarts”
in action. Real
smarts. The kind where a good
memory helps but where the
student has to put his brain in gear,
THINK, and think again in order to
get results.
My husband, Merwin, and I and
our son, John, were at the University of Minnesota for their 2015
Spring Senior Design Show for
electrical and computer engineering and mechanical engineering
students. John was there to judge
three senior capstone projects. He
was also adviser and sponsor for
a senior project that dealt with a
patient transfer issue, one of his
concerns as an ER doctor.
Senior Design is a four-credit,
semester-long course for students
in their senior year, providing
students with a real-world teambased design experience through
which they develop an appreciation
of design methodology and team
dynamics, along with refining their
oral and written communications
skills. Each team of 4-6 students
solves an open-ended design
problem starting from developing
well-defined project requirements/
specifications and concluding with
a functioning prototype. Project
ideas originate from industry and
faculty sponsors, often require an
interdisciplinary effort, and typically have multiple paths for solu-
Random
Thoughts
tion and implementation, entailing
trade-offs between performance,
cost and manufacturability.
That latter means that even if
you come up with a better widget,
it’s best if it’s a widget that someone wants, and will pay for.
So. The ballroom in the Coffman Memorial Union at the U of
M was abuzz with students and
spectators (including some proud
parents, I’m sure). The 62 displays
were set on tables for the most part,
with a poster illustrating aspects
of the project. The whole room
looked like a high-school science
fair on steroids.
The first project I saw was an
electrical engineering project:
“Sensitivity Analysis and Collimater Design for MT-POL, a 1-5um
Polarimeter.” “Yowzah!” I thought.
“I need a translator.” Turns out
the device is something to attach
to a telescope that is not reaching
the resolution it was designed for.
Simple, right? Yeah, right.
Next I saw “Automated StateTransition-Error-Tolerant Algorithm for Finite State Machine.”
Man. Those EEs really have to do
some deep thinking. Speaking of
thinking, I began to think I was
in the wrong part of the Coffman
Union and might be better off going to a food place to sip a cup of
tea while John did his judging.
I stayed, however. Moreover,
as I wandered through all those
erudite displays I found that I
recognized some of the words
on those posters. Words such as
“and,” “the,” “for,” and, oh, yeah,
“dense.” “Dense” is how I felt, because, as I’ve told you repeatedly, I
didn’t take physics in high school.
Most projects were so far above
my pay grade that they could just
as well have been written in Sanskrit. However, the students were
eager to answer questions. They
were not at all condescending to a
person who only vaguely knows
the difference between a valance
and a valence. In case you don’t,
either, here’s a hint: the one with
two “a’s” is the one that goes with
the drapes.
Amazingly, there were projects
that I could understand. For example, there was the “highly accurate
electromagnetic pendulum clock.” I
understood the word “clock” even
if the electromagnetic part went
over my head. There was a device
to detect damage in milk crates;
wall clips that can be used to make
a concrete-block wall without using
mortar; an ER patient transfer blanket; and an environmental system
that could help a company grow
mushrooms.
The “Anti-Derailment Monitoring System” struck a responsive
chord. The device aimed to create
a low-cost solution for preventing
train derailments by employing a
wireless sensor detection system.
“Lighting-Bicycle Safety Lighting” aims to help cyclists ride
safely at night or in low light
implementing LED-illuminated
light arms. (Think LED lights in a
tube wound around the bike.)
One project that drew a lot of
attention was the “Pump-Breast
Pump.” The project addressed
the major design shortcomings of
existing motorized breast-pump
systems. One of the students actually tested their product on his
wife, who had just delivered their
sixth child. Their design focused
on usability, comfort for the user,
and compatibility with existing
pumps.
As I wandered through the
show, I felt like Winnie the Pooh: a
bear of very little brain. However,
I soon realized that I don’t have to
understand how these, and all the
other inventions mankind has come
up with, work—just that they do.
On behalf of all science doofuses, I
say, “Thanks, brainy bunch. Keep
on thinking.”
Public is alerted to unclaimed property in North Dakota
The Unclaimed Property Division is the designated holder of
financial property that has been
misplaced or lost by the rightful owners in North Dakota. The
Division acts as custodian of these
unclaimed funds from banks,
insurance companies, hospitals,
utilities, retailers, and local governments; and it works to reunite
people, businesses and heirs with
their property.
The Unclaimed Property
Division operates within the
Department of Trust Lands, but
the unclaimed property it holds
for owners is not land, but rather
uncashed checks, dormant bank
accounts, abandoned securities and
deposits, and other financial assets.
Until requested by the owners,
unclaimed property proceeds are
held in the Common Schools Trust
Fund, which funds public education throughout the state.
Annually, the names of individuals on whom property has
been reported since the previous publication are listed in local
newspapers. The entire database of
owners is available to be searched
online at: http://www.land.
nd.gov/UnclaimedProperty/
Frequently asked questions regarding unclaimed property:
What is unclaimed property?
Unclaimed property includes
financial assets such as abandoned
savings or checking accounts,
stocks, uncashed dividends or
checks, refunds, customer overpayments, security deposits, mineral
royalty payments, and contents
of safe deposit boxes. Land is not
part of North Dakota Unclaimed

Property.
How does the State Unclaimed
Property Division end up with
these unclaimed funds?
Each year, businesses operating
in North Dakota are required to
check accounting records for dormant accounts, outstanding checks,
credit balances, unclaimed securities and other property that belong
to customers or other businesses.
Once the dormant property is identified, the business must notify the
property owner to provide them an
opportunity to recover the forgotten or missing assets. If the owner
doesn’t respond, the business
owner must turn the property over
to the North Dakota Unclaimed
Property Division.
Who should check the listing to see if they have something
unclaimed?
EVERYONE!! Individuals and
businesses may have missing or
unknown property held with the
state. Many people will find their
name on an unclaimed property
list at some point. It is a good idea
to check the list at least once each
year.
How can an owner claim his/
her property?
Claim forms can be accessed
and downloaded directly from
http://www.land.nd.gov/UnclaimedProperty/ or by contacting
the Unclaimed Property Division.

Telephone: (701) 328-2800
[email protected]
What if the owner of the property is deceased?
These claims can still be paid to
the rightful heirs. The individual
claiming the property should be
the personal representative of the
estate, the executor of the will,
or someone legally authorized to
conduct financial transactions on
behalf of the deceased person.
What is required to prove ownership of the property?
Ownership is usually established by address verification and/
or social security number confirmation. Statements or other documents showing a business relationship with the reporting entity is
also helpful.
How long does the claim process take?
Claimants should allow 6-8
weeks for verification, processing
and delivery of their property.

Dear veterans, family members, and readers,
May is Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS)
Disease Awareness and Mental
Health Awareness Month. ALS
is also known
Veterans as Lou Gehrig’s
disease. This
Corner
is a neurologiEmily Cost
cal disease that
Traill County
Veterans Service kills brain cells
leading to the
Officer
loss of the ability
to walk, loss of
use of hands and ability to talk or
swallow food. Last year, the “Ice
Bucket Challenge” was formed
to raise awareness to ALS, but
there is also an awareness that
must be brought up for veterans. Those who have served in
the military are twice as likely to
develop ALS as those who have
not served. The Department of
Veteran Affairs recognizes ALS
as a service-connected disease to
those with at least 90 continuous
days of military service. Veterans
who are diagnosed with ALS are
entitled to service-connected disability compensation and medical
support. It is important for veterans, family members, and friends
to be aware of the VA benefits
available for the care and support
of those with ALS.
To commemorate Mental
Health Awareness Month, announced in a press release May 7,
the VA is encouraging veterans,
along with their families and
friends, to visit and chronicle
their recovery journey on the
website, MakeTheConnection.net.
Make the Connection is a national
awareness program operated
by the VA aimed at reducing the
negative perceptions and stigma
associated with seeking mental
health care. Through the website,
veterans and their loved ones
hear from hundreds of other veterans who may be experiencing
similar challenges, learn strategies for support and recovery,
along with local resources available through a resource locator.
Secretary Bob McDonald has
stated: “We all have the ability to
influence a friend or loved one in
a positive way – that’s why Make
the Connection was created, we
want veterans to tell their personal stories of mental health
treatment and recovery to as
many of their peers as possible.
Those stories can be great sources
of strength for Veterans in need of
hope.”
My full-time office hours are 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through
Thursday at the Hillsboro Courthouse and 8 a.m. to noon Friday at Mayville City Hall with
outreach in the afternoon. I have
a website up to provide information and updates in addition to
the Facebook Page. Please check
out the Traill County Veterans
Service Office Website: www.
traillvso.com for news and information. If an organization would
like for me to speak at an event
to give veteran benefits updates,
please contact me.

School
Moore Thoughts
Our lives
are like a book.
A chapter in
my book is
coming to an
end; the number of days I have left
in high school are dwindling to
a halt. The realization of this has
made me reminisce about the experience as a whole. It’s been a great
few years, and I am blessed to have
made a lot of friends and had many
experiences along the way.
My high school career started in
Forest Lake, Minn., a suburb of St.
Paul. I came in as a new kid from
North Dakota and knowing no one,
which was hard. I experienced sitting at a lunch table by myself for
the first time - it gave me a different
perspective on everything. Gradually I grew close to a few people
who I now call my best friends. I
will never forget when Andrew
introduced himself to me in Mrs.
Larson’s eighth-grade math class.
He became my first friend and the
first person I hung out with outside
of school.
One of my favorite memories is
when the basketball coach introduced me to a kid at basketball
by Connor Moore
camp, this was also my first time
ever in Forest Lake. Ironically, his
name was also Connor, and when
we were introduced, we awkwardly said “hello” and moved on.
Never would I have guessed that
Connor would become one of my
very best friends.
Then came my sophomore
year. By now I had grown close to
Connor, Andrew, Chip, Dave, Leo,
Toby, and others - some of them
girls. Our group called ourselves
“The Dogs,” and we were led by
our friend Toby’s father, Dave
Boyer. Dave is a character, to say
the least, and we loved it. I played
on the B-squad basketball team,
and as disappointed as I was not
playing up, our team set a new
school record of 22-3. The success
was fun, and so was our team.
Forest Lake was great to me,
and I still visit as often as I can.
One family I spent a lot of time
with was the Blochs. Jon and Kay
took me in as one of their own,
and their son, Chip, is one of my
best friends. I think during my
sophomore year I did more chores
at their house than at my own!
They love me though, which is
PBJ fourth- and fifth-graders
read about the Gashouse Gang
what makes them so special to me.
I was constantly in “trouble” at
their house because Jon continually
banned me from drinking Gatorade since I would leave the bottles
everywhere!
I made one friend who wasn’t
an athlete, and his name is Dave.
Dave is special to me because at
the time we met, neither of us had
many friends. Going to a school
with 500 kids in each class, it was
hard to only know five people. This
required me to get to know the
kids in my classes. Dave was really awkward in those early junior
high years, and I’ll never forget the
day in ninth grade that he invited
himself to my house for the first
time, because our relationship grew
after that. Dave has butterflied into
this hilarious person who everyone
loves, yet he’s much the same. I
still get the weekly message from
him asking if I’m coming down this
weekend!
My junior year I decided to return to Mayville. I had maintained
great relationships with a lot of
my childhood friends, and at the
time it was what I wanted to do.
Oddly enough I still had to settle
in, especially with the people I had
not stayed in contact with the prior
three years. We had a great basketball season, and I decided to play
baseball - the first time since Little
League.
My senior year has been very
special. I had a goal I wanted to
achieve, which I felt was the reason
I was here. The region championship night was probably the
greatest night in my life up to this
point. Getting the opportunity to
play in the state basketball tournament really made my year. It was
something I had spent so much
time, focus, and energy on over the
last few years of my life. I also got
another new experience, which is
writing this column every week,
and having my first job!
I’ve made so many great memories over the last four years, and
it’s gone by so fast. One thing has
remained constant, and that is my
friends. Relationships with people
are so great, and to be valued. Even
though I won’t see them on a daily
basis, I plan to stay in contact. We
have had such a great run, and now
it is almost time to write that next
chapter in our lives.

Fourth- and fifth-grade students
at Peter Boe, Jr. are very interested
in baseball. They liked following
The Gashouse Gang (the St. Louis
Cardinals baseball team) in the
Traill County Tribune each week.
They couldn’t wait to see what
Dizzy Dean and his brother, Paul,
were up to with the Cardinals.
The chapters each week told
about the team and what it went
through to win the 1934 World
Series.
The vocabulary the students
learned will help them understand
baseball terms as they continue to
read about baseball in the future.
The chapters built interest as they
read them each week.
Peter Boe, Jr. teachers and their
students thank the Tribune for suppling the papers to each class each
week. They really enjoyed reading
about the famous Gashouse Gang.

Mayville State University Alumni Day planned in conjunction with Summerfest
Summer will be here soon!
Hopefully this means that most
people will have an opportunity
to get out and enjoy some great
weather and fun
outdoor activities.
Summer also is a
time for community celebrations
where people
come together
and some come
“home” for
University reunions and
News
other gatherings.
In Mayville-PortGary Hagen
land, the annual
President,
Summerfest is a
Mayville State
much-anticipated
University
community event.
The Mayville
Portland Community Club members are doing a
great job of organizing and coordinating a celebration that can be
enjoyed by young and old June
25-28.
As part of the annual Summerfest activities, the Mayville State
University Alumni Association
will host the fifth annual Alumni
Day at Mayville State University, on Friday, June 26. Activities planned throughout the day
include ground-breaking for the
Military Honor Garden, a reunion
for former residents of Berg Hall,
a reunion of library science alumni
and former library employees, a
guided campus tour, a reception
to honor the 2015 Distinguished
Alumni and Distinguished Service
Award recipients, and the Alumni
Association Awards Dinner. The
grand finale for the day will be
musical entertainment provided by
Jazz on Tap +2.
A short program, beginning at
11 a.m. June 26, will highlight the
ground-breaking for the Military
Honor Garden, which will be
located on the grounds south of the
Edson and Margaret Larson Alumni and Leadership Center. The
monument will feature a life-sized
bronze eagle in flight sculpture,
an American flag, night lighting,
and memorial gardens surrounded
by sidewalks. All five branches of
the military will be represented on
granite plaques. This beautiful and
meaningful project will be a tribute
to Mayville State faculty, students,
and community men and women
for their patriotic service in America’s Armed Forces. The intent is to
honor anyone who has served in
the military. Those honored definitely can be, but do not have to be,
Mayville State alumni. For more
information about how you can
honor a loved one, contact Dena at
701-788-4864 or dena.bergstrom@
mayvillestate.edu.
There will be a couple of
reunions held during the Alumni
Day festivities, including a gathering for former residents of Berg
Hall. Folks are invited to gather at
Berg Hall from 1 to 4 p.m. If you’re
a former Berg Hall resident who’d
like to get involved, please indicate
your interest at www.mayvillestate.
edu/berghall.
Library Science alumni and former library employees are invited
to come to Mayville State and see
the great updates that have taken
place at the Byrnes-Quanbeck
Library. An open house will be held
at the library from 2 to 4 p.m. This
would be a great time to check out
the Clenora Quanbeck Memorial
Garden located at the southwest
corner of the Larson Center too!
The Larson Center will be the
site for a reception to honor the
2015 Distinguished Alumni and
Distinguished Service Award
recipients. This will take place from
3 to 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome to
stop by and visit with this year’s
honorees. Distinguished Alumni
Award recipients will be Karen
(Lyng) Asmundson (‘90), Dr. James
LaBarre (‘66), and Leroy McClure,
Jr. (‘83). Distinguished Service
Award recipients will be Mary
(Hanson) Iverson (‘68) and Harlan
Johnson (ex. ‘82).
These honorees will receive
their awards at the annual Alumni
Association Awards Dinner, which
will be held in the MSU Campus
Center Luckasen Room beginning
at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $20.00 each
and can be purchased at www.
mayvillestate.edu/alumniday or
by calling the MSU Foundation,
701-788-4864. RSVP deadline is
Monday, June 8.
Musical entertainment will
follow the banquet, beginning
at 8 p.m. in the Campus Center
Luckasen Room. Jazz On Tap +2
will be entertaining. The public is
invited to come and dance, or just
to listen to the great sounds. The
ensemble will include Mayville
State music alumni Kris Eylands
(‘79), Kirk Overmoe (‘78), and
Denny Connelly (‘72). These guys
are all former students of Francis
Colby and members of Mayville
State’s nationally recognized jazz
ensembles of the 1970s, and you
may recognize the Jazz on Tap
name. This trio has performed at
Mayville State on many occasions,
usually in conjunction with the
annual Northern Lights Art Gallery
annual gala.
All of the events planned for
Mayville State’s Alumni Day 2015
are open to the public. We cordially
invite one and all to take part. We
look forward to celebrating with
our friends and neighbors and all
who come “home” for the weekend.

Memories of days gone by to be included in new book
Hometown Memories Publishing is saving a big slice of local
history in a book that will containtales of bygone years from people
who actually lived them. The 20th
Century saw tremendous change,
from horses and buggies to space
travel. Never before in history has
such profound change occurred
during so short a period. Hometown Memories’ mission is to save
and share these stories before they
are lost forever.
Over 130 people from Southeast
and South Central North Dakota
have already contributed stories for
the book. Karen Garvey, senior editor at Hometown Memories, says
“We are really excited about this
collection of stories from Southeast
and South Central North Dakota.
The submissions we have received
are wonderful and we expect many
more local stories to come in.” She
invites anyone who might want
to contribute to call her toll-free at
(877) 239-1602, or go to the web site

com to contribute a story.
Here is just one example of the
kind of stories that are saved and
shared in a Hometown Memories
book:
“You Never Forget the Lessons
Learned the Hard Way” by Glenn
Endrud of Buxton, N.D. Born in
1945.
I have lived many years and
learned many things and forgot
a whole bunch of those lessons. I
conclude that the lessons that have
stayed with me the most indelibly
are the lessons I learned the hard
way.
For instance, one or two swats
on the behind are usually enough
to straighten out most young kids.
The threat or expectation of that
happening again can be a great
deterrent to future misdeeds. That
was, I believe, the first and possibly
the most important lesson learned
“the hard way” early in my life.
Going to school as a first-grader
was probably more anticipated
than any graduation day later
on in life. I went to a traditional
one-room country school averaging about 13 students a year at that
time. Putting on brand-new clothes
(that were probably at least one
size too big), carrying my very own
lunch kit, and proceeding with all
the “confidence” of the smallest kid
in school was a very big deal at that
age.
That year a new family had
moved into the neighborhood.
They had three boys, grades 5, 7,
and 8.
They were cut from a “rougher”
cut of cloth than the rest of us. Our
school was located adjacent to a
farmstead that had been vacated
that year. Although we weren’t
supposed to be on the grounds of
the farmstead, we’d occasionally
go there, especially when playing
“hide and seek.” We were doing exactly that about five weeks after the
beginning of my first grade, when
a group of us gathered behind the
barn on that farmstead. These new
boys were there and told everyone
else to stay with them when the
bell rang.
This was made to sound very
exciting to everyone, especially to
someone in the first grade. When
the bell rang, we continued hiding
and later sneaked through the trees
and around the other buildings on
the property. We eventually ended
up in the empty grain elevator,
climbing to the top of the bins
inside.
Something seemed very wrong,
but what could I do but “follow the
crowd?”
At the end of the school day,
we came waltzing back to school. I
really can’t remember what punishment we received, but I’ll never forget that when my first report card
came out the next week, I got the
lowest mark in “Deportment” of
my entire scholastic career! Lesson
learned: Never listen to idiots.
The winters can get boring after
a while. About mid-winter, the
5th grader of that family one day
raised his desktop and proceeded
to quietly get the attention of all the
students. He had a can of “snuse”
that really made things interesting.
When he thought he had everyone’s attention he put some in his
mouth.
He evidently hadn’t tried to do
this before because it really burned
his mouth. He lowered the desktop
and raised his hand to get a drink
of water. Now the teacher evidently
knew what was going on and
wouldn’t let him get a drink until
recess. So he had to just sit there
and suffer. There were no more
problems with “snuse” in school.
Lesson learned: I think it’s obvious.
Another indelible lesson was
learned that winter. We had a lot
of snowstorms so sometimes we
couldn’t go out at recess. During
one of those times I witnessed one
of those big, “wild” boys bump the
simple record player we had and
the only record the school had fell
and broke. It was a “78”of course.
That was a really big deal to
me, so I promptly told the teacher
that H_ had broken the record.
What happened next took me by
complete surprise, as I was loudly
branded “TATTLETALE.” I was
teased and no one would play with
me. It was humiliating! At the last
recess everyone was going out to
play and I decided I was going out
too. I purposely got myself ready
last so I could sort of sneak outside.
Now our school was adjacent to
a county road and the snowplow
had gone by that day throwing
lots of chunks of hard snow up on
the sides. As I exited the school
someone hollered, “PLASTER THE
TATTLETALE” and a hail of snowballs and chunks came my way.
I stood on the steps and watched
and ducked as they came. One really big one went right by me and
through one of the windows, landing at the feet of the teacher and
the county superintendent, who
had stopped by for a visit. Needless to say this was a much bigger
deal than any broken record, and
my “problem” was forgotten as we
speculated what would become of
the “criminal” who had just committed the “crime of the century!”
Lesson learned: Don’t be a tattletale
and don’t throw hard things at
windows. I think I learned more
important stuff in first grade than
in any other year of my scholastic
experience!
Second grade was more peaceful
as that “wild” family had moved
elsewhere. My parents had given
me a football for my birthday. Now
it’s hard to have fun with a football by yourself. My brother was
onlyabout four at that time and not
real handy with a big football. So
I asked my mother if l could take
it to school. ‘’NO,” she said. She
thought that would not be a wise
idea. So I sneaked it to school with
football that day. During the noon
hour recess we were playing and I
ended up at the bottom of the pile
of the rest of the kids. Something
was very wrong. It turned out I had
broken my leg and spent the next
six weeks on crutches and with a
cast on that leg. Lesson learned:
Listen to your mother!
Somewhere in the middle
grades, we had a great time building and flying paper airplanes. It
became a challenge to see whose
could fly the farthest, make the
nicest landing, and do other great
aviation tricks.
Later on into winter we got the
idea of making a really big paper
airplane. We only had one size of
paper, so we decided to glue many
pieces together, and then we’d fold
it. We couldn’t do that inside, so
we smuggled pieces of paper and
glue jars outside to work on this at
recess. Now, remember those old
white ceramic glue jars and that
chunky white paste? It made for
very lumpy and thick glue lines on
the airplane, especially in the cold.
Then we’d hide that unfinished paper creation under the snow until
the next day.
One day the teacher followed us
out at recess. She was wondering
where all the glue jars had gone.
She found out, and she was mad.
End of the airplane project! But I
was still curious as to how that airplane would work. So I dug it out,
smoothed it out, and launched it. It
was a great failure. Lesson learned:
Heavy airplanes don’t fly well and
can get you into a lot of trouble.
My final two years of grade
school were significant in other
ways. I had learned to drive vehicles and machinery at an early
age, as was the custom of the day.
So for those last two years my
father bought an old Model A Ford
for me to drive to school. I had no
license, obviously, so I guess he
could have gotten in a little trouble
also. The next year when I went to
high school he traded that Model A
for his first pickup, which I drove
to school.
High school was a big deal, of
course. We had about 43 kids in our
freshman class; half were country
kids and half were from the town.
That year the administration decided to have two sections, one for
the country kids, and one for those
who came from the town, supposedly to give the country kids
a chance to “catch up.” Well, after
about three weeks they determined
that the country kids were ahead of
the town kids, so they mixed up the
classes. They never did that again.
Lesson learned: Don’t judge people
by where they come from.
Algebra was a very significant
class for me. I was good at math
and enjoyed it. I missed school
one day because I was sick. When
I came back I couldn’t figure out
Aquatic nuisance species: Education,
information, and enforcement
By Patricia Stockdill
It’s been a decade since
the North Dakota Legislature
moved to address the issue of
aquatic nuisance species (ANS).
The legislation was the first
move to protect the state’s resources from devastating effects
of what can happen if species
such as zebra mussels, Asian
carp, Eurasian watermilfoil – or
a litany of other destructive species - took foothold in a North
Dakota lake or river.
All legislators had to do was
look to the east where Eurasian
watermilfoil thrives in Minnesota waters to see what it cost
that state.
Or look to cities and industries downstream of Missouri
River dams to learn how zebra
mussels cost the public.
The public had years to learn
and understand how crippling
ANS could be if North Dakota
ever endured the same issues
facing the Great Lakes or any
state with ANS infestations.
A decade later, time is up.
Nowadays, if anglers and boaters are not complying with ANS
regulations, odds are they won’t
get off with a warning.
It’s likely to cost them money.
The 2005 Legislature tasked
the N.D. Game and Fish Department with the responsibility of
identifying ANS listings, clas-
sifications, regulations, and enforcement. The agency launched
a public outreach program
when it drafted the state’s first
ANS regulations. The beginning of the 2008 fishing season
brought the state’s first ANS
regulations:
*Inspect and remove vegetation from all vessels, equipment,
and bait containers.
*Drain water from boats, etc.
*No live bait or vegetation
allowed into North Dakota and
water must be drained from
vessels before entering the state.
*No live nongame fish, except baitfish, could be removed
from their originating waters.
That first year was a learning curve for anglers, described
Game and Fish Department
warden chief Bob Timian.
District game wardens spent
much of their ANS enforcement
efforts educating anglers and
boaters about the importance of
ANS prevention, identification,
and what was required to comply with the new regulations.
“We needed to bring the public’s knowledge up to the level
before we began enforcement,”
he explained.
Fast-forward to 2015: “You
can’t just keep warning people.
Over time education evolved
into more aggressive enforcement. The educational program
continues on at all times …
citations are actually education
in a more aggressive manner,”
he added.
As warden supervisor in
northeastern North Dakota,
Paul Freeman said he feels a
keen sense of the importance of
his role – and his field wardens
– in ANS prevention.
That’s one reason northeastern wardens conduct more ANS
road inspections than other
areas in North Dakota. Devils
Lake is a premier fishery and
destination for anglers throughout the United States. Many of
those anglers come from states
with waters thriving in a variety
of ANS problems.
“The potential for ANS
to come into North Dakota
through our region is more
likely than some of the other
areas of the state,” he explained.
Fewer warnings and more
citations are part of a learning
process.
“At this stage of the game,
people need to be aware of ANS
and if they’re not, they’re more
likely to get a citation,” Freeman
said.
After all, what is at stake is
some pretty fantastic fishing opportunities in the State of North
Dakota. And Freeman and his
wardens want to do their part to
protect it.
what was going on in algebra. This
was serious since I thought I liked
math. Then I talked with a friend
about my quandary and he showed
me the lesson that had been taught
on the day I’d missed. Right away
I was back on course. Lesson
learned: Missing even one day of
school can have serious effects. The
most important lesson could have
beenpresented that day.
A very important class to me
was the vo-ag class, especially the
shop class. My father was waiting
for me to learn to weld, and then
he bought a welder. One day we
had a lesson on the anatomy of a
cow. The teacher gave us a test on
it and instructed us to pass our
paper to the adjacent student for
grading. The paper I received from
my classmate had so many spelling errors that the right answers
couldn’t be deciphered from his
answers. I marked those wrong.
He was really mad. After class he
was ranting about that, and when
pressed by others about his spelling, they agreed that those answers
should be wrong. He was still mad.
We went to the lunch line for our
meal. Now I must interject that
in those days I spent a part of my
evenings helping Dad do chores
on our small dairy farm. Mornings,
Dad let me sleep a little longer than
him but I still had to go out to help
feed, give milk to the calves, and
clean a part of the barn, including a
couple of calf pens, to keep up with
things. Now I believe that regimen
should be part of anyone’s routine
if he wants to build solid muscles. I
had “abs” then that I’ve never had
since, and I didn’t even know it.
Anyway, as I was standing in the
lunch line my disaffected classmate
came walking by, and without
warning he swung and hit me in
the stomach as hard as he could.
What happened is that he hit a
“steel wall.” I hardly felt it, and he
walked away with a sore hand. He
never bothered me again. Lesson
learned: Never underestimate the
value of hard work!
I went on to study engineering in college, eventually getting a master’s degree. Later on I
returned to the farm I grew up on
and farmed in partnership with
my brother. I never forgot the life
lessons I learned in my formative
years as I have just shared them
here.

Notice of Hearing
TRAILL COUNTY WATER RESOURCE DISTRICT BLOOMFIELD DRAIN
NO. 46
NOTICE OF HEARING REGARDING REASSESSMENT OF BENEFITS
The Traill County Water Resource District (the “District”), or its predecessor, previously created, established, made assessments for, and constructed BLOOMFIELD DRAIN No. 46 (DRAIN NO. 46), a legal assessment drain in certain
portions of Traill County, North Dakota. The District, and the assessment district
comprised of properties that originally benefitted from Drain No. 46, previously
paid all the expenses of constructing DRAIN NO. 46. The District currently levies an annual maintenance levy to pay the costs of operating and maintaining
DRAIN NO. 46.
The District assesses annual maintenance levies based on the benefits of
DRAIN NO. 46 to each benefitting property; the District periodically reevaluates benefits to ensure property owners pay their fair share of operating and
maintaining DRAIN NO. 46. The District’s recent review of the DRAIN NO. 46
watershed area revealed the benefits of DRAIN NO. 46. With that in mind, the
District concluded a reassessment of benefits is necessary, fair, and equitable
to more accurately reflect benefits of DRAIN NO. 46. In the course of this reassessment, the District will revise current maintenance levis according to current
benefits and will include properties not currently within the assessment district
that benefit from DRAIN NO. 46.
In accordance with North Dakota law, the District will commence proceeding and
hold a hearing to reassess and reapportion the expenses of operating and maintaining DRAIN NO. 46. The Traill County Water Resource District will meet on
Tuesday, June 2, 2015, at 8:15 a.m., at the office of the Traill County Water Resource District, 102 - 1st Street SW, Hillsboro, North Dakota, to conduct a public
hearing on the reassessment of benefits for DRAIN NO. 46. You may appear at
this hearing and you may offer your comments or objections regarding the reassessment of benefits to the Traill County Water Resource District. Following the
hearing, the District will consider any input provided, and will ultimately modify,
correct, or confirm the maintenance levies.

Maui-bound Marcus
The chance to meet a professional wrestler, a lucky hockey
puck and the NCAA Final Four
men’s basketball tournament
combined to give Marcus a trip
for two to Hawaii.
“It was just kind of dumb
luck,” Hagness explained. “It was
the luck of the draw, big time.”
It started when a friend texted
Marcus of an opportunity to have
his picture taken with pro wres-

Traill County
Tribune
“The premise was to have
a live draft, similar to the NFL
Draft, for the Final Four,” Footitt
said.
About 150 fans, including
Marcus, showed up to have their
photo taken with Flair. From
there, Footitt said it was firstcome, first-served for a line at a
table of 64 color-coded and numbered hockey pucks. The colors
represented the East, South,
Midwest and West regions of the
NCAA men’s basketball bracket
and the numbers symbolized the
respective region seeds.
Marcus’ puck listed the No.
1 seed in the yellow bracket, the
South, and its top seed, the Duke
Blue Devils.
That was an unexpected
addition to this prize-package
equation: Marcus would have
to pull for Duke, arch-rival to
his beloved University of North
Carolina Tar Heels, to win the
Final Four.
Yikes! That’s like asking
Buckeye fans Merwin and Myrna

Ohio State in football! Absolute

“I’m a big UNC fan and had
to root for Duke for four weeks,
so that was kind of an awkward
situation at the end,” Hagness
said.
When Duke made the April 6
championship game, Marcus and
three other finalists were treated
to a stretch limo ride and V.I.P.
treatment in Fargo.
Duke was down nine points
to the Wisconsin Badgers with 13
minutes to play.
“I kind of thought that was
going to be Duke’s choking,”
Marcus said.
The Blue Devils prevailed
68-63, earning Marcus the grand
prize. Come Jan. 23, 2016, he and
a companion will fly to the island
of Maui, their round-trip air fare
and seven-night motel stay paid
for.
“I’ve never been out of the
continental U.S.,” Hagness told
the Tribune.
His companion will be his
father, Paul Hagness, who is
retiring at the end of the school
year after 20 years as principal at
Neche, N.D.
“I figure it’s a good way for
him to spend the first year of his
retirement,” Marcus said.
A man who drew the puck
for No. 16 seed Robert Morris,
Duke’s first-round opponent, also
won a trip to Maui.
The runner-up, who drew the
Wisconsin puck, received box
seats for a Minnesota Twins game
at Target Field, as did the puckholder for Coastal Carolina, the
Badgers’ opening-round opponent.

Spring is here and Summer is on its way.
Is your central air ready?
Ground-breaking for Military
Honor Garden project at Mayville
State will be held in conjunction
with Alumni Day festivities
Plans for a Military Honor
Garden, which will be located on
the south lawn of the Edson and
Margaret Larson Alumni and
Leadership Center at Mayville
State, are well underway, and a
ground-breaking ceremony will
be held in conjunction with the
MSU Alumni Day festivities Friday, June 26.
The monument will feature a life-sized bronze eagle in
flight sculpture, an American
flag, night lighting, and memorial gardens surrounded by sidewalks. All five branches of the
military will be represented on
granite plaques. This beautiful
and meaningful project will be
a tribute to Mayville State faculty, students, and community
men and women for their patriotic service in America’s Armed
Forces. The intent is to honor
anyone who has served in the
military. Those honored definitely can be, but do not have to
be, Mayville State alumni.
Martin Johnson, a former
corporal in the USMC and 1966
Mayville State graduate, and
Emil “Buck” Bedard, a 1965
Mayville State graduate and retired USMC lieutenant general,
are heading up the project. Nearly 75% of the funds needed to
complete the project have been
raised and construction will begin soon. The Military Honor
Garden will be dedicated during
Mayville State’s 2015 homecoming festivities Oct. 17.

service of the veteran to be honored. Those who are interested
in the plaques will want to do so
as soon as possible. The first order for plaques will be placed on
July 1, 2015. Any plaques purchased after July 1 will be held
for an order that will be placed
in 2016. After the initial order is
