Johnson also reports on the District’s Financial Data including
mill levies, general fund revenues,
expenditures, and balances and
state/federal aid and other revenue
sources.
“The Lisbon Public Schools has
a very strong finanacial base,” said
Johnson. “ As planned, our fund
balances for working capital have
increased within our goals. Our
district is very effficient while still
providing the best staff and services for our students.”
The administration feels very
strongly that the Lisbon School
District is financially prepared to
meet the future 3-5 year financial
goals, according to Johnson’s report.
It appears from the report that
the district does not need to adjust
staffing levels for the next five
years. All of the buildings have
been upgraded over the past eight
years (e.g. fire code, ADA compliance, energy efficiency, air quality,
facility security, and technology
upgrades, etc.) The Lisbon School
District is considering the remodeling of the stone church to make
it into a technology center. Capital
projects to improve access to technology is an option the facilities
planning committe will review, according to the report.

103 and sharp as a tack...
Estelle Olson is amazing
By Terri Kelly Barta
Estelle Olson is an amazing lady. She is 103 years old
and sharp as a tack. She lives at
Parkside Nursing Home in Lisbon.
Born on June 23, 2013, in
Minot, ND, Estelle was the ninth
child of thirteen in her family.
As a frame of reference, Woodrow Wilson was
elected
president
that year, and the
woman’s party was
established to push
for allowing women
to vote in an election.
Estelle was born
on a farm and grew
up working hard.
We did all the chores
(herding livestock,
haying, fieldwork
and gardening, etc.)
“We (the children) tried to
make fun out of the chores, we
did” chuckled Estelle, as she reminisces. “We had three kids in diapers at one time, so we girls had
to wash the diapers. My sister
would hold up a diaper and say,
“Who will pay me for this lovely
diaper?”
The sisters would collapse in
giggles as they made a chore into
a game.
In the second decade of the
20th Century, children were expected to work along with their
parents until all the chores were
done.
“We lived in a very small
house,” relates Estelle. “The
screen was left out of the upstairs
window so mother could air out
the upstairs when she needed to”
She went on to say that in the
winter the children would have
contests to see who could hold
their feet on the very cold window
the longest.
“We used to pick cow chips
for fuel,” reminisced Estelle. “We
pulled a buggy around and filled
gunny sacks with cow chips. Then
we delivered them to mother to put
in the stove. We used bare hands to
collect them. “
Back in the early part of the
1900’s, it was open range and no
fences and they had to constantly
herd the animals.
One time they had a huge gopher problem, Estelle, took matters into her own hands, got a 22
rifle and killed quite a few gophers.
She remembers the Dust Bowl
where the dust blowing around
was so thick, her brothers had to
shine the car headlights on the gate
to help the others herding the animals so they could see.
“We washed the floor several
times per day those years,” said
Estelle.
Estelle has a soft spot in her
heart for animals.
During the dry years
there was not enough
fodder for animals.
“I so worried
about the animals,”
said Estelle.
Despite the Dirty
Thirties and the hard
work, Estelle remembers life on the
farm as good.
She remembers
that she went to
school through the eighth grade
which was common back then.
After she finished school, Estelle
went to help an older sister care
for her children.
While there she met the man
who would be her husband for 72
years, Raymond Olson. They both
loved to dance. After going together for several years, they married in 1934. They had two children, a daughter Jean and a son,
Jerry. Jean is married to Bill Pyne
and they live in Vancouver, Wa.
Jerry and his wife Cynthia (Bjone)
live near Fort Ransom. Estelle
has six grandchildren, five great
grandchildren and four great-great
grandchildren.
She and Ray farmed near Fort
Ransom. They went to dances and
enjoyed their time together. He
passed away in 2004.
Estelle moved into Prospect
Manor and then Parkside. Lutheran Home. She loved living at
Prospect Manor and misses her independence, but recognizes she is
where she needs to be.
At Parkside she plays cards
like Kings in the Corner and loves
to read.
“I have to order books from the
state library because I have read so
many here,” said Estelle.
If there is lots of swearing in
them, she won’t read them.
In looking back over her life
which spans two different centuries, Estelle said that the invention
that she is amazed by is the “Smart

For 2016-2018...
The Lisbon School Board approved a strategic plan for 20162018 at their June 20 meeting of
the board.
Steven Johnson, superintendent,
Lisbon School District, reviewed
the plan with the board at the public meeting held during the regular
June meeting of the board. Johnson reported on the projected enrollment numbers for each grade
K-12 for those years and beyond.
The total student count doesn’t
vary much with a current number
of 597 and a projected 593 for
2016-17. Projected for year 201819 is a total of 594 students with
a projection of 596 total students
for the 2020-21 school year. Enrollment data is used to guide program, service, resource, facility
and staff allocation planning over
the next three to five years, according to Johnson.
Johnson reminded the board
that the law requires students to
take three types of assessments, in
fourth, eighth and eleventh grades.
These assessments can help identify areas where additional programs, courses, student support
services, and/or teacher professional development are needed,
according to Johnson. The school
district then compares the local
numbers with the state and national progress to compare with other
students.
Other areas the board reviewed
were Approval, Accreditation, and

Raymond Howey returns to
Lisbon for family reunion
By Jeanne Sexton-Brown
Raymond Howey graduated from Lisbon
High School in 1943. He worked on the family
farm for six months before entering the Army and
heading to Europe and World War II. Howey was
a prisoner of war, captured days before the end of
the war; was shot in the head, his helmet saved
his life; he was in the Battle of the Bulge and was
on the tail end of the D-Day invasion. He remembers climbing down the ladder into the cold water
and carrying his riffle over his head during the
invasion.
Howey met and married his wife in Paris in
1946. His bride’s name was Ramonde, but she
went by Jackie to keep down the confusion. When
he finally returned to North Dakota, he and Jackie
moved to Valley City, where Howey worked for
a utility company.
Their daughters, Michelle and Sharolyn were
born in Valley City. When Michelle was four
years old, Howey moved the family to the Dallas, Texas area, where their three son’s were born.

Sears as a repairman.
“His customers all loved him,” said daughter Michelle Cagle. “He was the best. He is very
modest and doesn’t like to talk about how much
he was appreciated.”
Michelle was 22 years old when their mother, Jackie died. Gary was only six years old. Michelle helped raise her brothers. Sharolyn was 20
by then.

Brides Dress For Less opens in
former Central Station building
Julie Ann Ness has returned to
Lisbon after a few years absence,
bringing with her a new business.
Brides Dress For Less is located
one mile east of Lisbon on Highway 27, in the former Central Station building on the south side of
the highway. Ness opened her business on Monday, June 5.
Ness held a premium Trunk
Show in March at the Lisbon Opera House for her Brides Dress For
Less start up business. With her
entrepreneurial spirit and love of
people, having a business that celebrates happy occasions seems right
up her alley.
“With the move to the store,
I have added mother-of-the bride
dresses as well as homecoming
dresses,” said Ness. “It has been fun
to get in new stock. The homecoming /cocktail dresses are really very
pretty. I have added Allure Bridal
and Watters, a private label designer out of Texas.”
Ness’s daughter, Jasmine (Kappenman) Smith, 28, was born when
she and Jasmine’s father lived in
Lisbon. They worked at Hansen’s
Super Valu at that time.
Ness also has a set of three-year
old twins, Aspen and Emmitt. Her
son, Brasen died in a four wheeler
accident 10 years ago, at the age of
13, while the family lived in Ellendale.
Most recently, Ness has lived
in Edgeley and worked at a bank.
Moving back to Lisbon has been
good for Ness, who has always
liked the town and the people here.
She lives with her friend Rick Johnson, on his farm southeast of Lisbon.
“In our free time, we like to
spend time with our horses, that’s
our big thing,” said Ness “I also en-

Dress For Less, now open east of Lisbon in the former Central
Station building.
joy spending time with girl friends.
Cattle are kind of my hobby. I have
a small herd that I can never seem
to give up.”
The trunk show was such a success that Ness was excited to open
a shop with regular business hours.
“I could have sold a lot of
flowers and coffee if I had them,”
laughed Ness. “People think Central Station is still here.”
The bride dress business is one
that brides will drive great distances
for the perfect wedding dress. Ness
is able to offer top quality dresses
at reasonable prices. She is also
able to offer special consideration
on Mother-of-the Bride dresses because of her warehouse connections
and contacts.
With the opening of her shop,
Ness is also able to offer flower girl
dresses that can double as first communion dresses. Special orders are
not a problem if given enough time.
“I have been able to get special
orders in a couple of days,” said
Ness. “One thing that I have noticed
is that the sizes of bride dresses run
very small. For someone who normally wears a size 6, they might
have to look at a size 10. Measurements are very important in selecting the right dress.”
Shop hours are Monday through
Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday summer hours are 10 a.m. to
noon or by special appointment.
By Janet Hansen
Auditor Kristi Johnson reported to the Ransom County Commissioners at their regularly scheduled
meeting on Tuesday, June 21, that
the June 14 primary election had
gone well, despite the fact that the
voting machine in the community
room, which served as the polling
place for the entire county, had given her some problems for a while.
She reported that the canvassing board, which had met on
Monday, June 20, had accepted
841 vote-by-mail ballots and 309
ballots which had been cast at
the polling place on election day.
Then, a total of 23 ballots which
had been postmarked by June 13,
but did not arrive at the auditor’s
office until June 15, the day after
the election, were also accepted
and counted. This amounts to a
total of 1,173 ballots which were
accepted.
Johnson went on to explain that
an automatic recount must be done
for three Ransom County cities.
In the race for seats on the Lisbon City Council, in the unofficial
vote count following the primary
election, Jeremy Waliser had received 14 votes more than Lyle
Thomason for the last remaining
empty seat on the council. When
the canvassing board met, the additional ballots, which had been
postmarked in time for the election
but had been received on the day
following the election, were counted. Those brought the difference
between the two candidates down
to nine votes. Waliser had a total of
253 votes and Thomason a total of
244 votes. This, according to Johnson’s calculations, was a difference
of .7 percent. When the difference
in votes between two candidates is
one percent or less, this calls for an
automatic recount.
On the measure asking whether
or not to publish the minutes of the
Elliott City Council in their official
paper, only two residents voted.
One voted “Yes,” while the other
voted “No.” This means a recount
is required by state law. Johnson
stated that she has contacted the
state auditor’s office to find out
what to do in case of a tie, but had,
at the time of the commissioners’
meeting, received no answer.
In the case of the same measure on the ballot for the City of
Sheldon, 16 people had voted on
the question of whether or not to
publish the city council minutes.
Eight had voted “Yes” and eight
had voted “No.” Again, a recount
is required by law and the same
question was asked – what to do in
case of a tie.
The recount must be done
within eight days of the canvassing board meeting. The board set
the recount for Monday, July 27.
Johnson will notify the candidates,
who must either be present for the
recount or name a representative
to attend in their place. She will
also notify all county officials who
are required to be present for the
recount.
Application for conditional use
permit discussed
Johnson reported that, on Monday, June 20, the Nelson County
Pig Cooperative had filed an application in her office for a Conditional Use Permit. The cooperative was proposing a 2,395 animal
units hog farm to be constructed
in two phases in Ransom County.
The proposed gestation/farrowing
farm is projected to be built in the
southwest quarter of Section 13 in
Isley Township, which is five miles
south and three-quarters of a mile
west of Englevale. Nathan A. Pesta, owner/senior project engineer
for Dehaan, Grabs, and Associates,
LLC, consulting engineers, stated in the letter included with the
application that the site had been
selected because it “provided adequate isolation from surrounding
residential areas and an abundance
of agricultural land to use the animal manure nutrients.”
According to the Ransom
County Zoning Ordinance, the applicant must, within 21 days of filing the application with the County
Auditor, notify by certified mail all
property owners having property
within a one-mile odor setback
distance (as required by the county’s zoning ordinance) of the hog
operation.
The approval process also includes at least one public meeting.
The board of commissioners set
the meeting for Tuesday, July 19,
at 11 a.m. in the County Commissioners Chamber at the Ransom
County Courthouse. The board
stated that they will rely on input
from area landowners and residents when making their decision
on whether or not to approve the
conditional use permit.
County website up and running
Johnson also explained that the
county’s new website is up and
running and her office has been
directing people to it on a regular
basis. The website is www.ransomcountynd.net.
New personnel
Ransom County Tax Director
Kristie Reinke and Treasurer Suzanne Anderson introduced Shelly
Schwab, Englevale, who was recently hired and will be shared on
a 50/50 basis between the two offices.
Commissioner Connie Gilbert
reported that the new Social Services Director, Becky L. Carow,
Licensed Social Worker (LSW),
would like to see some type of
benefit carried over from her previous years of service in Benson
County. Gilbert went on to state
that she was opposed to treating
social service department employees differently than employees
in other departments and those in
other department have not been allowed to transfer vacation or sick

Scary Scam Warning!
Rodeo season is back!
It’s rodeo season and I am
stoked! I love rodeos, mainly the
bull riding event but I really enjoy
the sport and taking pictures.
I had my first outing on Friday night in Milnor for their BullO-Rama. Before the event even
began, I had an injury. Do you
remember the dreaded buffalo
gnats from a few years ago? I had
been doing yard work and was
attacked about the head neck and
shoulders by the little buggers and
my forehead swelled up something
terrible.
In Milnor it was a horse fly that
went on the rampage. At first, I
thought it was a fantom pain from
one of my surgeries. I ignored it,
but after a while the sting was very
intense and I thought even if it is
a phantom pain, if I push on it,
maybe it will stop. It did. Then, it
hit again just a bit over from the
first one. I was talking to someone
and didn’t want to just stare at my
upper outer thigh, so I just glanced
down in time to see this inch and
a half long fly! I tell you he was
huge!
After the two bites on my
thigh, he headed for my foot. I was
wearing my boots so I managed
to stomp the thing with my other
foot, which left a mark. I did not
get stung again and the silly bugger was dead!
I am now walking around with
a very large lump on my thigh, as
if I need anymore padding in that
area. It is hard, hot and I have two
black spots where it stung me.
This is why I limp when I have
an injury that is not totally visible.
Limping insures my chances of
getting appropriate sympathy.
In other rodeo fun, I had arena
gunk kicked into my hair again.
This time the result was a bit different than usual. It could be
because the hair color I used was
different this time but it seems the
arena gunk has lightened my hair
at the point of entry. This particular dose was directed above my left
eye right at the hairline. I now am
sporting a lighter patch of hair in
that area.
In spite of the arena gunk and
the biting horse fly, I still love
rodeo. I love the action and the
excitement and the challenge of
getting a great rodeo shot. I’m too
old to get down on the ground and
shoot up toward the sky to get a
great background for my shots like
my friend Deb Sagvold and I’m
not nimble enough to switch from
still to video like Jodi Widhalm,
but I do a fair job.
I really love the boys of bullfighting. We are blessed in this
area to have two of the best who
were trained by the greatest bullfighter around. Both Troy Bunn
and Dillon Roman show the signs
of being trained by Jim Sad. Dillon
has the ‘touch the head’ technique
down pat. Troy is quick to kneel
down and toss dirt at the bulls to
get their attention. Both can jump
a fence in a single bound! They
are wonderful to watch. They are
amazing athletes. Each time they
fight and protect the cowboys I am
in awe at their bravery. Heros run
to the danger while the rest of us
are running away...Life is good!
Legislative Update...
District 24
Rep. Naomi Muscha
The Water Topics Overview
Committee met Tuesday and
Wednesday, June 14 and 15, in
Minot. The first topic addressed was
Devil’s Lake. Excellent pictures were
presented to the committee, enabling
all to see examples of where water
levels have been and now where they
are at the present time, what condition roads are in that have resurfaced after being submerged, and the
condition of Chain Lake Cemetery.
Testimony was also given by farmers from the region, with their main
requests being to keep pumps in running condition and for assistance to
townships in repairing local roads.
The Souris River Basin was the
next topic addressed, covering not
only Minot’s flood recovery projects,
but also the effects on downstream
landowners and the obstacles faced
by the fact that the water crosses the
Canadian/US international border.
Tuesday’s meeting day ended with
a bus tour of key locations that were
flooded in Burlington and Minot,
enabling the attending legislators to
see the progress that has been made
in the past few years, and of course,
what still remains to be accomplished in order to protect the area
from such devastation in the future.
Representatives from Fargo presented an update on the status of Fargo’s flood protection projects and the
Red River Valley diversion project.
Mr. David Glatt from the Department of Health gave a presentation
regarding water well testing and
what type of results can legally be
released to the public. This is especially pertinent to areas in and near
District 24, especially around the
Leonard area.
A final area of concern, which
was given quite a bit of discussion
time and with several people giving
testimony, was the issue of quick
take and eminent domain for water
projects. During the 2015 Legislative Session restrictions on the use
of quick take were included in legislative action, but then vetoed by
Governor Dalrymple. The Water
Topics Interim Committee was given
the issue to be studied and has yet to
reach any definitive conclusion. Two
members of the Barnes County Water
Resource District were in attendance
Tuesday and presented testimony in
favor of retaining the ability to utilize quick take as a last resort. They
reported that quick take hasn’t been
used in Barnes County during their
tenure on the BCWRD and there
are no plans to use the process, but
they, as well as several other Water
Resource Districts, wish to keep the
option as “a tool in the toolbox”.
The next meeting of the Water
Topics Overview Committee is
scheduled for August 24 and 25 in
Watford City.
A Look Back in Time

Storm toll wide spread in County
A squall line of weather last
week Friday blasted its way through
the area and was accompanied
by pockets of wind more concentrated in their fury. Glen Moore of a
local insurance agency, said he has
mapped the path of the destructive
winds and deduced from this that
several small tornadoes rode the
turbulent wall of wind. Evidenced
of this, he said was such as that
found on the Harry Huether farm
about eight miles west of Lisbon.
There he said four corn cribs and
a granary were situated in a row,
all of the cribs of the same material and similarly anchored to the
ground. As the storm went through,
only the crib in the middle was toppled and smashed.

State Budget Officer Lloyd B.
Omdahl has asked the State Soldiers’ Home for its contingency
plans for a 25 percent reduction in
state general fund money for the
1977-1979 biennium. In a letter to
the Institution, Omdahl said that
the voters will be considering an
initiated measure to get a ceiling
on state spending in the 1977-1979
biennium at $332 million or 25
percent below the percent level of
expenditures. The measure will be
on the September 7 primary election ballot.

New mayor and council take
oaths
Ross Cole was sworn in as
mayor of Lisbon at a special meeting of the Lisbon City Council on
Tuesday evening, June 27. Cole
accepted the gavel from Morris
Saxerud, who has held the mayoral
position for the past 12 years. Tim
Meyer and Walt Johnson were also
sworn in as new council members.
I have read many scam stories.
I have reported on scams. Now, I
know first hand how a scammer
works.
I was on Facebook and a huge
box appeared covering about one
fourth of the page. It read: “Warning!!! Your computer is in danger
of getting a virus. It gave a number to call and said time was of the
essence or everything on my computer would be taken.
Knowing very little about computers I thought, “Oh my gosh, I
better get this taken care of.”
I know very little about such
things and was very afraid that if
I didn’t take the advice of the man
who answered the phone, I would
lose everything on my computer.”
I called the number and a foreign accent told me that he was
with Microsoft and he’d be happy
to take care of the problem. He was
very smooth but my gut was telling me that something was wrong.
I told him I just didn’t feel right
about this situation. He calmly
said, “What are your concerns
Ma’am.” I replied, “I hear a bunch
of voices in the background (like
a telemarketing center).” He said,
“Yes, ma’am, Microsoft is a very
big company with a lot of employees.” And, I thought, “Okay, that
is true.”
He said we can fix this and we
won’t charge you anything. I began
to relax because I really believed
it was Microsoft Company and he
wasn’t asking for money. He also
had not asked for a credit card
number or my social security number. I knew not to give those out.
He asked me a few questions
and then he said, we will need to
have remote access to your computer to fix the problem. I know
what that is because I allow my
son with the computer programming degree to remotely access my
computer so that he can fix things
for me from Fargo.
The guy said, “Are you familiar
with remote access?” And I said,
“Yes”. He said, “We will need
your permission to access your
computer, but it looks like something we can fix without charge.”
Like a lamb being led to slaughter, I followed his instructions and
let him in. Up in the corner of
the page it said Microsoft and he
pointed that out to me to prove he
was who he said he was.
Still in the back of my mind
I had that feeling that something
wasn’t right.
After scanning many files, he
said “Ma’am, the problem is more
serious than I thought. We will
have to call an engineer and let him
talk to you.”
So, I talked to the “engineer”
and he said he could fix the problem for just $900. I said, “I don’t
have $900. “Well we have another
plan that might fit you,”said the
“engineer”.
At this point, I was suspicious
but acting on fear, I listened to him.
He said, “How about $350?”
I said, “I don’t have $350 either.”
He said, “Let me check with the
company to see if we have a lower
priced package.” He came back on
the line and said, “How does $120
sound to you?” I replied, “I feel
caught between a rock and a hard
place I guess that will have to do.”
He didn’t ask for any credit
card info. So, I thought Microsoft
can bill me because I am not giving them any credit card or bank

Former Lt. Governor of ND • Former UND Political Science professor
Sleuthing the Mystery of the Burgum-Stenehjem race
The Republican gubernatorial race has
North Dakota’s political pundits scratching their
heads, searching for an explanation for the upset
of a popular Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem by political novice Doug Burgum.
Was it the Burgum conservative message
that resonated with North Dakotan Republicans?
Burgum pitched a super-conservative fiscal
policy, implying that Stenehjem was guilty of
conspiring with the governor and the Legislature of playing fast and loose with the taxpayers’
money.
Legislative Majority Leaders Senator Rich
Wardner and Representative Al Carlson, after
years of penny-pinching, were appropriately
offended by the allegation.
The Legislature had reduced income taxes
and property taxes while hiding all extra money
in dedicated funds safely under the state mattress. In fact, North Dakota’s tax burden ranks
the 39th lowest in the country, hardly a ranking
for spendthrifts.
But in the public mind taxes are always too
high and Burgum fanned this latent taxphobia.
However, the state’s fiscal track record indicates
that this was not a cutting issue.
For a majority of taxpayers, tax-cutting in
the present fiscal environment could hardly be
a high priority. Even so, taxphobia is always
good for a few votes so let’s concede that Bur-
gum eked out a few thousand of his 23,000-vote
margin with this issue.
Is the mystery solved by claiming that Democrats did it in the polling place? On the surface,
the election returns give cause to suspect the
Democrats because their primary turnout was
a dismal 17,000, about one-third to one-half of
their historical norm.
In the 2014 primary, around 30,000 Democrats voted; in 2012, 57,000 Democrats appeared
for their primary. So, if Democratic raiding did
occur, would all Democrats have voted tor Burgum or would some have voted for Stenehjem?
In view of the virtual certainty of a Republican victory in the fall, smart Democrats would
have voted for Stenehjem. After all, Burgum
was promising an even tougher fiscal conservatism than the Legislature, meaning even less
spending on the social programs that Democrats
have always supported.
Another thing, Burgum promised to be a
business governor. If he delivers on that promise, he will shift state budgeting from a broad
spectrum of programs to a more narrow probusiness tax-cutting strategy.
But maybe some Democrats just wanted to
lash out against the Republican establishment
that has been beating them for years and this
was their opportunity to strike. It’s a safe guess
that this happened. So let’s say Democrats gave
Burgum several thousand of his 23,000-vote
margin.
This meddling in the Republican primary
will bring payback to Democrats. It provides
justification for Republicans to require voter
registration, something that would suppress
more Democratic than Republican votes.
There is no mystery to the fact that Burgum
was the first candidate in the media and on the
road. In February, a poll gave Stenejhem 59
percent to Burgum’s 10 percent- an insurmountable lead by all standards. This led to apathy in
the Stenejhem camp.
With Stenehjem the top vote getter in every
election, he looked so solid that early spending of big bucks by Burgum couldn’t beat him.
The Stenehjem strategists probably thought the
same thing because their campaign didn’t really
crank up until later in the spring. So we must
give Burgum a few thousand votes for a strong
early start.
Then there was Former Governor Ed Schafer’s endorsement, probably the most impactful
message in the whole campaign. Not only was
Schafer’s presentation crisp and authoritative
but it also gave credibility to Burgum’s candidacy. For Schafer, Burgum gets another couple
thousand votes.
So if Burgum picks up a few thousand votes
here, another few thousand there, the next thing
you know he has a 23,000-vote margin. There
isn’t much mystery to that.

the grant with the NDSU Extension Service. Any project related
to youth gardening is eligible. A
$1,000 grant was awarded for this
local project.
Lee had called local resident
Angela Waletzko, who is a Master
Gardener, to work with staff at the
Veterans Home to plan where and
how the plants could be planted.
After the plan was made, the kids
got to work and planted them.
“They brought their shovels, gloves and green thumbs and
planted some bushes, perennial
plants, and 350 Petunias, Cosmos
and Zinnias,” said Lee. “The kids
with help from their leaders and
parents worked very hard to complete the project.”
The bushes and plants were
planted in the flower bed where
the flags are displayed in front of
the Veterans Home. They were
purchased with the grant money.
The kids enjoyed their project.

Now, I have no access to any
money or credit cards. The next
day, I went to my local bank and
opened up a new account. They
gave me a temporary cash card
and said that I would have to show
my Driver’s License ID every
time I purchased something.
I took my computer to DRN
where they cleaned it up. I don’t
really care because I will never
turn that computer on again. I
bought a new computer and I am
in the process of setting up new
accounts with all new passwords.
I have a security system that will
be downloaded to the new computer.
I was so disappointed that the
world is so evil that somebody
thinks it is okay to swindle people
for their own gain. And this is just
one scam of many.

there and was now blocked from
anyone getting it. Then the bank
lady said, “I am going to put you
on hold while I connect you to the
fraud division of the bank. While
I was on the phone waiting, a man
answered, but he didn’t say the
name of the bank nor his name. I
called him on that as, I listened in
fear to the same voice of the scammer. He said, “You have to call the
other number on your card” and
he hung up.
At this point my mind was racing, trying to figure out what just
happened. Later, I would learn
from law enforcement that the
scammer can monitor you and can
get a window of opportunity to
call like this guy did while I was
on hold.
Next I called my credit card
company and canceled the cards.

she went down a snake zipped right around her neck-potatoes were forgotten. Dad Ted Hoaby could grab
a snake, put his fingers around its neck and provide it
with a shew of his snuff. He put it down and in a few
minutes snake was deader than a door nail. How come
people can chew this stuff as my Dad did and still live
to be 88? In the Hoaby family, it was a toothache cure
so it kept dentists at bay for a while.
If you see a shiny black “ratsnake” slithering thru
the grass you might have to be out of NDak. They are
in Wisc and other states but non venemous and very
useful to farmers in ridding of mice, rats and other
pests. They can be nestling in trees. Our snakes do
not climb trees. We got snakes out of the way or at
least one kind--now fruit flies. Eleven year old Dexter
Hoenhause stated to take a bowl, put a plastic cover
over it, jam a few tiny holes in it and the fruit you put
in it will draw them. It is a prison and they can’t get
out but then they have fruit to eat. Well, so much for a
couple things but many others were mentioned. Marlie
did a great job preaching and singing at Beverly Anne,
Parkside, Hospital Swing Bed and the Veteran Home.
Thanks to the residents and him for making it that
way as we know God was enjoying it too with all the
smiles and his song “Count Your Blessings.”
Ah, yes, there was Ed the Pastor for the day from
Assembly of God church. He does a super job and
loves to sing so we have many songs which he and
this rover round up along with the songs of residents.
He told of being in India and doing a preach job with
all sitting on the floor and no instruments. They all
sang with gusto. This rover stated, “Let’s go for it”
It went fine except when it was over one lady stated,
“Better to have the piano.” Thanks to Pastor for coming and the rest also, it was great.
Sheldon Feland planted himself in this kitchen just
after he come from work at Propane Industries west
of Lisbon. He will be a senior so his life will change.
He is on Rock Hill with his family and of course Mom
Tiff.
Jean Ann Wilke Lasley, Lewiston, Idaho, has been
busy with her rose industry. They are in bloom and she
is getting them ready to give away to church people
and shut ins. Here she is ready for an excursion with
hubby Neil, both retired.
Jimmy Jo Hoaby had a call from Aunt Ilene Larson that a tree had fallen down and trapped her in her
home. He not only grabbed trees worst enemy, the
chain saw, but cut it up and hauled it to her burning
spot. She then invited him to a home grown great supper. Then this rover was invited for left overs the next
day which were great. Jim is a great drummer with
music coming out of his ears so plays with hands and
works at the Sunflower Plant in Enderlin. His Dad
retired from the Air Force and passed away of cancer
by Irene Hoenhause
Neil and Jean Ann Wilke
at the age of 34 leaving a family of six. He was Marvin Hoaby, folks Ted and Mamie Hoaby, and of course
Aunt Irene and Ilene.
This rover has a roll of about two inch white paper
and has been writing up to eight foot long letters on
both sides. Where it came from is a question but one
letter went to Chris Hoaby Swerceyek and ended up
on Facebook whatever that is at Omaha, Nebr. Now
Audrey Staab at Colville, WI states in a letter. “I’m
replying on your “left over crazy paper” which I think
is cool.” She stated she once wrote a letter on toilet
tissue and it brings responses. People do not write letters anymore and it is a shame. You can reread them
many times where a telephone call is gone with the
wind and besides this rover can’t always understand
voices on that thing. You know age is coming in with
the weather and things do change so letters to Irene
are a guardian angel...Audrey says it is very hot at
Colville and dry. A neighbor tried to burn some things
and a call went in for the fire department as it went
wild. There is a burning ban there and you better heed
it or get fined. The people including Audrey are jumpy
since last years fierce fires. Her brothers Lyle of Okla.
and Alan of Fargo are planning on heading out for a
session of visiting and helping.
Pastor Norm of Trinity and this rover zipped to
Enderlin Maryhill for church and it was a great service with friendly faces on this Tuesday. Marie told
of her cooking for threshers and beheading chickens years ago on the farm. Then her song was sung,
“This World Is Not My Own.” There was communion,
Nancy Farmham came and visited a second and stated
who would sing next time. Thanks people and Pastor
Norm for a super afternoon.
Here comes a Director of a huge organization
ready to hire someone needed but relied on his answer
whether he lied, cheated, or come in late. You might
know it was Ole looking for a job and stated--I never
have but I’ll try to learn.
Sympathy to Elaine Anderson family in the death
of her Mom living at Parkside.

Q: Are Social Security benefits
the same for women and men?
A: Program legislation is gender neutral so individuals with
identical earnings histories are
treated the same in terms of benefits, so yes; Social Security benefits are the same for women and
men. Differences outside of Social
Security, such as interrupted work
patterns, overall earnings and life
expectancy influence benefits.
Decades ago, there were several Social Security gender based
differences. For one example, as
part of the Social Security Amendments of 1961, men first became
eligible to start reduced retirement benefits at age 62. Women
obtained this option in 1956.

letter from a group requesting
money “to help protect Social
Security.” Throw such requests
away. Sending these groups money
does nothing for Social Security or
yourself. The person receiving the
letters I saw basically threw away
hundreds of dollars from a tight
budget by sending money. Protect
yourself.

Precinct 1 Enderlin City
Ransom Road to Highway 46 completed.
Loegering will get a contract together for
construction engineering for the next meeting. Dick moved to do the eight-mile overlay project on the Fort Ransom Road going
north to Highway 46 and Gilbert seconded
the motion. Motion passed. This project will
be paid for with the extra federal funding
and SB 2103 funds. The project will be bid
in November and the overlay will be done
during the 2017 construction season. Loegering is going to check into getting SRF
funding through the state for the 3.5-mile
stretch by the Fort Ransom State Park. This
would be a 60/40 split and the 40 percent
local funds could then be paid with the HB
1176 funds.
A Ransom County utility permit was
submitted by Inter-Community Telephone
Company to bury a cable on the Valley
Road in Northland Township, Section 2.
Jerry Lamb said that no fee was required
since it would not be crossing the road. Gilbert moved to grant the permit and waive the
fee since there was no boring under the road.
Hansen seconded the motion, which carried.
NDDOT sent diagnostic findings of
the railroad crossings on County Road 135
south of Buttsville and on County Road 57
in the city of Elliott. It was determined that
both crossings are good candidates for a
fully-automated signal system and will be
placed on the ranked list. The county will
be notified well in advance to sponsor the 10
percent local match if the crossings rise in
rank to be funded.
Lamb said a door has been purchased
from Riverside Building Center for installation between the new evidence storage area
and the rest of the old county shop.
Teresa Sorby Rotenberger, deputy
auditor, was contacted by a representative
from TIAA, an investment provider for
the NDPERS deferred compensation plan.
Currently, the county utilizes Nationwide
as its investment provider for the deferred
compensation plan. Gilbert said TIAA and
Nationwide are basically the same thing,
just different companies. Hansen made the
motion to stay with Nationwide and Dick
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Lisbon Fire Department, Inc., submitted two gaming site authorizations, along
with the $50 fee for each site, to be authorized from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017.
The first gaming site would be the Silver
Prairie Saloon in McLeod. Gilbert moved to
approve and Hansen seconded the motion,
which passed. The second gaming site was
for the Stake Out in Lisbon. The board
questioned this gaming site due to the Stake
Out allegedly closing. The board decided to
approve the permit. Should the fire department decide this second gaming site permit
is not needed or needs to be transferred, the
board will determine how to handle that
upon request. Hansen moved to approve the
permit at the Stake Out and Dick seconded
the motion, which carried.
There being nothing further to come
before the board, Chairman Olerud
adjourned the meeting at 12:35 p.m.

The treasurer’s position was discussed.
State’s Attorney Fallon Kelly said an
appointment does not have to be made until
after the general election. The board feels
an appointment should be made. Hansen
moved to appoint deputy treasurer Suzanne
Anderson as acting treasurer until May 1,
2017, when the treasurer-elect will take
office. Dick seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously. Discussion was had on
the wage that Anderson should now receive.
When Bea Roach took over for Val Lukes as
clerk of court, she received a $2.65 per hour
raise. Dick moved that Anderson should
receive $21 per hour, effective June 1, 2016.
Hansen seconded the motion, which carried.
The Enderlin police contract was then
discussed. Johnson had run amounts based
on the 2016 expenses, which included the
sheriff’s 2016 budget and costs for FICA/
Medicare, retirement, health insurance, life
insurance, work comp and vehicle insurance. The contract reads that
Enderlin City is to pay 31 percent of
the sheriff’s department costs, which would
total $147,697.45 for 2017. Johnson will
send these figures to the Enderlin City Auditor for their council to review.
A concerned taxpayer had called about
a crop planted within the county’s right of
way (ROW) by the person who rents a quarter of land from her. The ROW for this parcel is 66 feet and the crop had been planted
to around 32 feet to 36 feet according to
Hansen, who had looked at the quarter. Hansen said this is not the only infraction along
the road. The ROW on the Sheldon Road
was then brought up. Letters had been sent
out to landowners along the Sheldon Road
last December, informing them that they
were not to plant any crops in the county’s
ROW. Kelly asked what the board planned
to do with those who had crop violations
along that stretch of road and who would
check for violations. Kelly also asked if the
board would spray the crops, give the landowner a fine, or charge them with a misdemeanor. Olerud recommended that, if there
is an obvious violation, something should be
done. If it looks like the landowner is trying
to stay in compliance, it should be fine.
A local raffle permit application, along
with the $10 fee, was submitted by CHI Lisbon Health for an event on November 19,
2016, at the Lisbon Eagles Club. Gilbert
moved to approve the permit and Hansen
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
The Black Pelican, located in the city of
Wyndmere, applied for an alcoholic beverage event permit for serving at a wedding
on June 18, 2016, at Dead Colt Creek. The
$10 fee was collected, along with the application. Auditor Johnson contacted the attorney general’s office, because the permit was
being obtained by someone outside of the
county. According to the attorney general’s
office, this is allowable as long as the paperwork is also filed with the state after the
county’s approval. Dick moved to approve
the application and Hansen seconded the
motion, which passed. Sheriff Darren Benneweis asked that the actual times the event
is to begin and end are on the alcoholic beverage event permits. A lot of the time, he
said, events exceed the end time listed on
the application.
A gaming site authorization application,
along with the $50 fee, was received from
the Sheyenne Valley Aerie #2968 Fraternal
Order of Eagles, to be held at the Eagles
from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Gilbert
moved to approve and Hansen seconded the
motion, which passed.
At 10:00 a.m. the regular commission
meeting was recessed and the equalization
meeting was brought to order and turned
over to Tax Director Kristie Reinke. Those
present for equalization were: Lyle Thomason, Ronny Hartl, Laurel Pribbenow, Virgil
Schultz, Bryan Strom, Marilyn Loegering,
George Loegering, Charles Wall and Alfred
Wall. Reinke informed the board of changes
that were missed at the township and city
levels. Notices were sent to all taxpayers
with changes by the tax director’s office.
Bryan Strom, representing George and
Marilyn Loegering, spoke on the Loegerings’ property in Owego Township. The concern was that the Quonset and the steel bin
had been valued too high. They also questioned Reinke on getting a farm exemption,
to which Reinke said one had not been filed.
Reinke told them that, in order to get the
farm exemption, 50 percent or more of the
shop and bin would need to be used for farm
purposes. George Loegering asked Reinke
why a vacant house is valued at $5,000, but
his empty bin was valued at $7,500. Reinke
said she looked up a bin value through Marshall & Swift, and this bin, if new, would
be worth $16,000. She said this is a unique
property, since they are trying to make the
bin into a cabin. They also questioned the
Quonset that had cost about $30,120 to con-
struct and was valued at $33,900. Reinke
said that that is the correct value for the
Quonset. With the Loegerings’ increase in
their property, Reinke figured it would raise
their taxes approximately $400 to $500.
Virgil Schultz said he had asked for a
4 percent reduction on his agricultural land
in Owego Township due to the downturn in
the economy. Schultz would like to see the
rest of Owego Township get this 4 percent
reduction. Steve Dick said Schultz should
not get any different treatment than anyone
else in the county. The increases that take
place are to keep the county within tolerance
with the state. If the county does not make
these increases, the state will automatically
raise the county across the board.
Schultz had a complaint about the township equalization meeting being held at the
county courthouse. He said Owego Township has a township building where the
equalization meeting can be held. Gilbert
asked Schultz who their assessor was, as it
is the assessor who sets the meeting location. Schultz said the assessor had not been
decided yet, to which Auditor Johnson said
Owego Township was to decide that at their
annual meeting in March.
Schultz also criticized Reinke for
allowing a taxpayer in Owego Township
to get a farm exemption. Schultz believes
this taxpayer should not be entitled to said
exemption. Other Owego Township residents also agreed with this. Reinke said the
farm exemption application had been signed
and filed in her office. According to Reinke,
by signing the application, the taxpayer is
claiming the information submitted is true
and correct. Kelly said sworn statements
would have to be taken from witnesses to
falsify this application. If proven to have
filed a false application, it would be grounds
for a property assessment change and fines.
Lyle Thomason questioned Dylan
Krueger’s property in the city of Lisbon,
asking if the condition of the property on
February 1, 2016, was taken into account.
Reinke said she had talked to Krueger and
updating had been done as of February 1,
which is why the $20,800 decrease should
be refused.
Kelly informed the board they must first
approve or deny the recommended property
changes by Reinke for the cities and then the
townships.
Lisbon City: Hanson moved to approve
and Gilbert seconded. Motion carried.
Sheldon City: Gilbert moved to approve
and Hansen seconded. Motion carried.
Big Bend Township: Gilbert moved to
approve and Dick seconded. Motion carried.
Coburn Township: Hansen moved to
approve and Dick seconded. Motion carried
Elliott Township: Gilbert moved to
approve and Hansen seconded. Motion carried.
Fort Ransom Township: Hansen moved
to approve and Dick seconded. Motion carried.
Hanson Township: Gilbert moved to
approve and Dick seconded. Motion carried.
Moore Township: Dick moved to
Owego Township: Dick moved to
Sandoun Township: Hansen moved to
approve and Gilbert seconded. Motion carried.
Reinke then read through the increases
and decreases of each township and city.
Reinke would like the percentages of
increase (to be in compliance with the state)
to be between 93 percent and 95 percent
compliance level. Hansen moved for the
county to increase to the 95 percent compliance level. Gilbert seconded the motion.
Dick feels that is too high and would like
it to be lower. He stated that we just have
to be in compliance. Reinke said the board
went to 93 percent last year, which was a
0 percent increase for residential and commercial, and a 7 percent increase for ag land
and gravel pits. Roll was taken: Hansen—
yes; Dick, Gilbert, and Olerud—no. Motion
failed. Gilbert moved to increase the compliance level to 94 percent. Dick seconded
the motion. This would be a 6.3 percent
increase to residential property, 0 percent
increase to commercial, and 2.1 percent
increase to ag land and gravel pits. Motion
carried.
The equalization meeting was then
adjourned and the regular meeting was
called back to order.
Reinke then invited the board to go
along on the Tax Directors Region 5 Association Meeting Tour to be held at the Sundale
Hutterian Colony on June 21 at 2:00 p.m.
Reinke informed the board of the new
hire who will be shared between the tax
director and the treasurer/motor vehicle
offices. Also, Reinke said state equalization
will be held August 7-11, and both she and
Heather Hanna, deputy tax director, will be
attending. Reinke asked if the tax director’s
office could remain closed on the days when
the new hire will be in the treasurer’s office.
The board left this up to Reinke’s discretion.
Benneweis updated the board on the
evidence storage area at the old county shop.
He said they are currently using the east side
of this building. Ryan Kenyon has been
contacted for a quote on additional lighting, which came in at approximately $1260.
Benneweis has not yet talked to anyone on a
furnace for the new area.
Benneweis has been asked by a Bismarck State College student if she could
do part of her internship with the Ransom
County Sheriff’s Department. She is from
Lisbon and is enrolled in the criminal justice program. She would be doing part of
the internship with the city of Lisbon and
the other part with the sheriff’s department
in order to get her hours in. Benneweis said
she would do ride alongs and also work with
Janelle in the office. A background check
will be performed before she can start. This
will not be a paid internship, so it is no cost
to the county. Johnson will check if she will
be covered by insurance for liability. Dick
moved to allow Benneweis to go ahead
with the internship and Gilbert seconded the
motion. Motion carried.
Benneweis let the board know that two
new bulletproof vests were purchased for
himself and Chris Sandvig. The vests have
about a five-year life span and the old vests
will be kept for backup.
Jacob Loegering, KLJ, informed the
board that Mark’s Sand & Gravel is scheduled to begin work on the north end of the
Sunflower Plant Road on June 20. The
estimated end date is July 9 for both the
Sunflower Plant Road and the Fort Ransom
Road. He has not been able to get prices
on the two blocks on McLeod Main Street.
Olerud said Gary Burnhard had talked to the
owner of Mark’s Sand & Gravel, and they
still plan to donate the paving for one block
in McLeod.
Bridge inspections were completed
May 27, 2016, by KLJ and the reports have
been sent to NDDOT.
Loegering made a list of proposed roadway projects where the county could use the
extra federal funds which were made available. Bryon Fuchs, NDDOT, said he was
fine with the county borrowing ahead on the
funds now, and then again in 2018, when
the sealcoat needs to be put on Highway 54
(Sheldon Road). The board would like to
see the eight miles going north on the Fort

Bullfighter Troy Bunn, Sheldon does a great job keeping the rider
safe and shows no fear when facing down this big Bailey Pro
Rodeo Bull on Friday night in Milnor.
Frank Wall, Sheldon posted his winning ride on this bull at Milnor’s Bull-O-Rama on Friday, June 17
with a score of 73. His first ride of the evening was a 71. Only three of the Bailey Pro Rodeo Bulls
were ridden that night, two of them were covered by Wall. Terrell Smith, Litchville, was the other
cowboy that completed an eight second ride.
Bullfighter Dillon Roman, Lisbon, performs the signature Jim
Sad move of touching the bull’s head to distract him, giving the
rider a chance to get away safely, during the Milnor Bull-O-Rama
on Friday, June 17.
Troy Bunn, Sheldon bullfighter moves in to protect James Prante
after he is thrown form this bull at Milnor Bull-O-Rama on Friday,
June 17.
A large crowd was on hand Friday, June 17 for the annual BullO-Rama on the streets of Milnor.
Only in a small cowboy town
do the city fathers close off two
main streets to form a bull riding
arena at the intersection. Dirt was
hauled in to put down a cushion
along with bucking chutes and
a sturdy fence to keep the bulls
from trampling the spectators.
Arrow K Ranch brought their
Bailey Pro Rodeo Bucking Bulls
to Milnor for the event. These
bulls are some of the biggest
and best athletes in the business.
Some will be seen in the national
arena during Professional Rodeo
Finals, according to Tim Allen,
rodeo announcer from near Rapid
City, South Dakota. Judges were
Danny Shepherd, and Joe Cook.
Once the North Dakota Win-
Round-up
By: Jordan Wright
Last week, we took a look at
the Minnesota Vikings’ running
back situation. If you happened to
miss the article, you can find it on
Facebook through the web address
that’s listed below.
Fullback
The Minnesota Vikings have
predominantly been a power running team, often lining up with a
fullback or extra tight ends on the
field to produce better blocking.
Will the Vikings continue to be a
power running team or will they
shift to a spread out approach this
season?
Zach Line was the starting fullback last season and finished with
a player grade of 57.2 according to
Pro Football Focus, good for 15th
in the league. An average at best
blocker, Line was able to demonstrate his value in other ways.
He only ran the ball six times for
10 yards, but found the end zone
twice. Line also caught six passes
for an impressive 95 yards and a
touchdown through the air.
Blake Renaud will be competing with Line for the fullback position. A linebacker in high school
and college, Renaud was signed as
an undrafted rookie in 2015 to play
fullback. He also spent some time
on the Vikings’ practice squad last
season.
Starter: Zach Line
Full back is one of the least
important positions for the Vikings
in 2016. Even though Adrian
Peterson has publicly stated he
prefers running behind a full back,
it’s clear this team is becoming
Teddy Bridgewater’s, who prefers
to spread out the offense and throw
from the shotgun. The only way
Renaud passes Line on the depth
chart is if he proves to be a better
blocker while also bringing value
as a ball carrier and pass catcher.
Tight ends
Kyle Rudolph was able to play
all 16 games of the regular season
for only the second time of his
career and caught 49 passes for a
career high 495 yards (which was
second on the team behind Stefon Diggs). PFF gave Rudolph a
player grade of 71.9, good for 23rd
in the league. An above average
pass catcher, Rudolph will need to
improve his blocking to be considered one of the better tight ends in
the league.
MyCole Pruitt was drafted last
year and proved to be an excellent back up for Rudolph. A player
who is known more for his pass
catching ability, Pruitt was actually graded as a better blocker than
Rudolph in 2015 according to PFF.
Rhett Ellison proved to be
very valuable for the Vikings in
2015. A “Swiss Army knife” on
the field, Ellison was able to play
both tight end and full back. Out
of all the fullbacks and tight ends
on the Vikings’ roster, Ellison was
the highest rated blocker according
to PFF.
David Morgan was drafted just
a few months ago but faces an
uphill battle to make the Vikings’
roster in 2016. Morgan will essentially try to take Ellison’s spot on
the roster as a player who is known
more for his blocking and less for
his pass catching.
Brian Leonhardt and Kyle
Carter are the two players who
round out the list of players in
the tight end group. Leonhardt
is entering his fourth season in
the NFL, and will have a hard
time beating out any of the players listed above for a roster spot.
Carter is an undrafted rookie from
Penn State who is a below average
blocker but has tons of athleticism.
Starter: Kyle Rudolph
There should be no doubt who
the starter will be for the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. Rudolph will
look to improve on last season and
become a dominant force in the
NFL. Norv Turner’s offenses of
the past have had great tight ends,
and Rudolph has all the ability to
join the list.
Backups: MyCole Pruitt and
Rhett Ellison
In 2015, the top three tight
ends (Rudolph, Pruitt, Ellison) all
played more snaps than the starting fullback, Zach Line. Pruitt will
be the primary backup to Rudolph,
while Ellison will be similar to one
of my all-time favorite Vikings,
Jim Kleinsasser, a player who
takes just as much pride in blocking as he does catching the ball.
On the bubble: David Morgan,
Brian Leonhardt, Kyle Carter
Even though the Vikings spent
a draft pick on David Morgan, he
will have a hard time making the
53-man roster. Brian Leonhardt
will have the hardest time of any
tight end to make the roster, since
he doesn’t possess much upside.
Kyle Carter has a real chance to
make the practice squad, giving
the Vikings a chance to tap into his
athleticism and potential.
Next week we will be taking
a look at the wide receiver position. If you have anything specific
you’d like to know about them, or
if you have any comments or questions about the fullbacks or tight
ends, reach out to me! E-mail:

ter Show Rodeo Queen, Cassidy
Rasmusson brought in the United
States Flag and the Star Spangled
Banner was sung the fun began.
Frank Wall, Sheldon bullrider
was the first out of the bucking
chute on a bull they call White
Blade. Wall posted a score of 71.
The next three riders were thrown
before the eight second buzzer
went off. Terrell Smith, Litchville, posted a score of 73 on a
bull they call Paper Bird, setting
the standard for the rest of the
cowboys to try to achieve.
But, it was not to be. The night
was for the bulls. The first round
had 15 bulls and riders with only
Wall and Terrell Smith managing
to stay on for the full eight second ride. The second set had 14
bulls and riders with only one
cowboy managing to stay on his
ride. Frank Wall posted a 73 for
a combined score of 154 to take
home all the money.
Local Milnor resident was
able to fulfil an item on his bucket
list when Kenny Langer took the
last bull of the evening. He didn’t
make it the eight seconds but he
had a grin on his face the entire
ride, no matter how brief, and he
hit the ground smiling.
Hometown favorite, James
Prante was unable to cover either
of his bulls on Friday night
but still put on a great show of
strength and tenacity with both
rides.
Bullfighters Troy Bunn, Sheldon and Dillon Roman, Lisbon
were on hand to keep the cowboys
safe. It was a night of excitement
that kept the two bullfighters hoping but no one was injured thanks
to the quick work of Bunn and
Roman.

Madison Scout manages
Field of Dreams project
Pictured is Street Stocks winner Matt Lesmeister with Trophy Kid.
Bailey Mennis planned and managed the project to construct a
warm-up area for pitchers behind the outfield fence of Madison’s
Field of Dreams. Mennis did this as his Eagle Scout Community
project.
By Corey Korth of the Dailey
Leader, Madison, SD.
Pitchers now have a designated warm-up area at Madison’s
Field of Dreams, thanks to one
hopeful Eagle Scout.
Bailey Mennis, the son of Jay
and Carrie (Froemke) Mennis of
Madison, SD, formerly of Lisbon, organized and managed the
installation for his community
service project, the last major
hurdle in his nearly lifelong journey to Eagle Scout accreditation.
Mennis, 18 and an incoming
senior at Madison High School,
was inspired to do this project
through his own experience playing baseball at Field of Dreams.
He would have liked a better
place to warm up and is excited to
give kids today that opportunity.
“I love helping out the community,” Mennis said. “I live for
those little kids. I’ve been working with them since they were 5
years old.It’s a big deal to contribute to their success.”
With family and friends voluntteering, the project was completed in two days. The group
built two pitching boxes behind
the outfield fence, one for each
team, featuring a pitcher’s bump
and catcher’s plate. Mennis works
for Kearin’s Concrete in Madison
and the company donated all of
the supplies for his project.
“Everybody was more than
willing to help out,” Mennis said.
“It was hot out, but my friends are
hard workers.”
One of Mennis’ goals in building this was to increase safety for
players and fans alike. Mennis has
seen balls get away into the nearby
parking lot and playground while
pitchers warm up. He designed
the area so that pitchers throw
toward open grass behind the center field wall, greatly reducing the
chances of someone being struck
by an errant throw.
Troop 5 Scoutmaster Mark
Maberry is proud of the work
Mennis put into his project and
the personal growth he’s seen in
the scout over the last four years.
“Mennis did show quite a bit
of initiative,” Maberry said. “He’s
grown up and shown a lot of leadership.”
Achieving the highest ranking in Boy Scouts is far from
easy. Only 5 percent of all Boy
Scouts have earned Eagle Scout
status since 1912, according to
the National Eagle Scout Association.
Being able to manage his time
to complete all of the Eagle Scout
requirements was one of the most
difficult parts of Mennis’ journey.
In addition to Scouts, he competes in cross country, wrestling,
track and baseball.
“You kinda have to be good
at planning to make it through,”
Mennis said.
He is proud of what he has
accomplished during his 12 year
stint in Scouts and is excited
about the opportunities being an
Eagle Scout will provide.
“It’s a big deal,” Mennis said.
“It’s going to help me throughout
my life” with job and scholarship
opportunities.

The members of the Lisbon
High School Band and Choir
returned on Tuesday, June 7, from
a whirlwind trip to California.
Reports are that the trip was a lot of
fun, even though it was exhausting.
A few of the music students who
happened to be helping their director last week with music, baton, and
flag corps lessons, took time out of
their busy schedule to sit down with
a reporter and share some memories
of their recent trip.
The California adventure, for
which the Band and Choir Parents
organization, along with the music
students, had planned and fundraised for three years, began on
Wednesday, June 1, just a few days
after school had been dismissed for
the summer.
The students gathered at the
high school at 7 a.m. for a final band
and choir rehearsal before setting
off on the first leg of their journey.
After the rehearsals a total of 84
students and 9 chaperones boarded
three school busses bound for the
Twin Cities. A suburban and trailer,
both loaded with band instruments
and luggage, completed the convoy.
The group spent the night in
Minneapolis, attending a band and
choir clinic at Concordia University, St. Paul, on Tuesday afternoon.
On Thursday morning, June
2, after spending the night at a
motel in the Twin Cities, the group
boarded a plane at the MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport and
flew to Los Angeles, arriving at
around 1 p.m.
They were met, at the airport, by
charter busses, which took them to
the world famous Farmers Market,
in the heart of the city. The Farmers Market is an area of food stalls,
sit-down eateries, prepared food
vendors, and produce markets. “We
basically ate and walked around
checking out the sights,” explained
the students.
The group enjoyed a visit to
Hollywood Boulevard, where they
visited the famous Wax Museum
along the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. “That was crazy,” remarked
some of the students. Some of the
people looked so real you could
have sworn they were alive, while
others did not look quite like we
expected. “
“The wax creation of Betty
White was adorable,” commented
Myah Jund.
After going through the wax
museum, the students spent some
more time walking around Hollywood Boulevard and then ate at a
Hard Rock Café. “A lot of people at
the cafe were staring at us because
we were such a large group and we
were all wearing matching neon
yellow t-shirts that said “California Dreamin’ – from Lisbon, North
Dakota to California,” the students
explained.
After supper the North Dakota
tourists explored the Farmers Market some more before checking in
at their motel at around 10:30 p.m.
“We were exhausted,” recalled the
students.
After getting a little sleep, the
group members were up early the
next morning and boarded the busses once again. “That was the day
we were to perform at Disneyland,”
the students explained. Since the
choir was to perform first, the choir
members took the first bus to arrive.
They were transported to the back
of the performing arts area, where
they each had to go through a security check before being allowed to
enter.
Back at the motel, the remainder of the music students waited for
their bus, which was late. When it
finally arrived, the group of band
students were deposited at the front
entrance to Disneyland. “They took
pictures of us for security reasons,”
explained members of that group.
“They were very strict about what
could be taken in with us.”
For instance, “They would not
allow any selfie sticks,” remarked
Kayci Hanna.
The band students walked
through Disneyland to where the
Lisbon High School Choir was
going to perform, on a stage in an
outdoor amphitheatre-type setting. The choir, accompanied by
Maestro John Monilaws on piano,
opened their show by performing an updated arrangement of the
Doobie Brothers hit from the ‘70s,
“Listen to the Music.” This was
followed by several other numbers
which the choir had prepared for the
occasion. The program ended with
a number performed by the LHS
Swing Choir.
“People walking by would stop
and listen,” the students reported.
“Some stayed and listened to our
entire program. We received a lot of
compliments.”
The Bronco Marching Band
was scheduled to perform at 1:30
p.m. on Disneyland’s Main Street
U.S.A. “That was the hottest part
of the day,” the students remarked.
“By the time we marched it was 95
degrees. Our wool uniform tops and
furry hats made us pretty uncomfortable!”
The students talked about the
fact that the staff at Disneyland
are very particular about what the
members of the bands performing at Disneyland look like. The
Lisbon band generally wears wool
band uniform tops with their own
black pants and shoes. At Disneyland, the group was inspected and
those whose black pants were not a
dark enough black were required to
change into black pants from a supply kept at Disneyland for that purpose. If anyone had colored soles
on their shoes or any type of logo on
them, those areas had to be covered
with black duct tape so that all the
shoes appeared to be totally black.
The band lined up behind the
gates of the castle at the end of Main
Street U.S.A. and waited for the
signal to start. When the signal was
given, Drum Major Payton Ercink
blew her whistle and directed the
drummers to begin their cadence
and the castle gates opened. As the
Bronco Band marched down the
street, it played a medley of Disney
tunes. The medley included “It’s a
Small World,” “Zip-A-Dee-DooDah,” “Mickey Mouse March,”
“All Star” from the movie “Shrek,”
and “We’re All in This Together”
from “High School Musical.”
“We had been told that the route
along which we would be marching
was two miles long,” explained the
students. “We had to march very
fast, so our performance lasted
only 15 or 20 minutes.” When the
band members reached the end of
their route they were directed to go
behind the Main Street buildings
and walk back to their starting point.
They explained that they were very
hot by the time they completed that
walk, but also very excited about
having actually performed at the
world-famous park.
“Both the band and choir were
amazing!” remarked Maestro John
Monilaws. “They sounded wonderful!”
Following the band’s performance, the Lisbon group split up
into eight chaperoned groups and
spent some time enjoying Disneyland. They searched for souvenirs,
checked out the variety of food vendors, and enjoyed a few rides.
When asked what their favorite memory of Disneyland was, the
various students being interviewed
had a variety of answers. MacKenzie Iwen stated that the ice cream
she’d eaten there was her favorite
memory. Haley Anderson and Preslie Ercink both listed the fireworks
display as their favorite part of Disneyland. They explained that during the fireworks display there were
a variety of Disney songs being
played, accompanied by pictures
from the movie in which the song
appeared. The pictures were shown
on the walls of the various buildings
along Main Street U.S.A. Myah
Jund said the parades were her
favorites. They had watched both
the light parade at night and the
regular parade in the daytime. Rory
Waliser commented that the food
was, to him, the most memorable
part of Disneyland. He reported that
the food was all very good. Emily
Nelson was most impressed with
the Disneyland Marching Band.
She said she thought various college students probably took turns
playing in the band, which played
and marched remarkedly well. The
students also told of a barbershop
quartet called the “Dapper Dans.”
The members of the quartet wore
striped shirts in a variety of colors
with matching pants and the traditional barbershop-style hats. The
quartet was performing throughout
the day at Disneyland.
The Lisbon group spent most
of Friday and Saturday at Disneyland. The students commented that
the rides at Disneyland were, for
the most part, for younger children, although there were a few
rides which they enjoyed. They also
commented that the lines for the
rides were very long.
Sunday was spent at Universal
Studios. Many of the students commented that they liked Universal
Studios better than Disneyland.
They reported that the rides were
longer and more age appropriate
than they had been at Disneyland.
They had an hour tour of various
movie sets and enjoyed a ride on a
tram which took them around the
building. Some of the sets they visited were where the movies “King
Kong” and “Fast and Furious” had
been filmed. They also visited the
set of “Desperate Housewives.”
Kayci Hanna was extremely
excited about Universal Studios’
latest attraction. The “Wizarding
World of Harry Potter” had just
opened a couple of weeks before
the Lisbon group’s visit. “We got
to walk through Hogwarts Castle,”
she explained. Some of the other
students talked about the pictures in
the hallways of that building. They
explained that they looked like regular photos until you got up to them
and noticed that they appeared to
be moving. The students were particularly impressed with the holygrams (three-dimensional images
displayed through photographic
recording of a light field) of characters such as Harry Potter, Hermione, and Professor Dumbledore, all
of whom were characters created by
J.K. Rowling for the Harry Potter
series of books, some of which have
now been made into movies.
The students enjoyed the Harry
Potter ride as well as many of the
other rides at Universal Studios.
They enjoyed interacting with
many of the characters walking
around outside of the rides. Some of
those mentioned in particular were
the Minions from “Dispicable Me”
and a mechanized dinosaur from
“Jurassic World” which looked con-
The Lisbon Bronco Marching Band marched down Main Street U.S.A. in Disneyland on June 3, playing a medley of
Disney tunes. Members of the marching band include: Back row: (l to r) Jason Sommerfeld, Jordan Saxerud, Gavin
Reinke, Maverick Coleman, Elizabeth Bartholomay, Keaton Shelton, Caemon Kelly, Kyle Odegard, Conner Fitzgerald, Levi Schwab, Gunner Fraase, and Maestro John L. Monilaws.Third row: (l to r) Lawrence Lesmann, Rory Waliser,

vincingly real.
On Monday, the group visited
“Old Town,” an historic section of
Los Angeles featuring a variety of
stores and Mexican vendors. “Items
similar to those sold at Disneyland
are offered there at cheaper prices,”
commented the students. “Many of
the vendors sell hand-made items.”
Some of the more interesting items
which the students mentioned
bringing home with them were “a
couple of ponchos and a blue sombrero purchased by Brock Aberle
and a small guitar purchased by
Marco Kellogg.
Many of the music students
commented that they enjoyed simply watching people and checking
out the sights and sounds of the
large city, which were completely
new to them. They commented that
there were many homeless people
throughout the city. They admitted to being a little surprised, at
one point, to step off the bus next
to a park-type bench on which a
man wrapped in a garbage bag was
reclining. They also noticed what
appeared to be homeless camps
under overpasses and bridges.
They also saw a variety of
people who stood out in the crowd.
“We saw a guy who went by the
name Rock ‘n Roll Jesus, who
was playing a guitar while holding
the instrument behind his head,”
recalled Rory Waliser, who plays
guitar himself (in a more conventional fashion) in the LHS Jazz
Band. “The man was dressed in a
robe and sandals, just like Jesus is
often pictured.”
“There was another guy playing
a piano outside,” added Emily Nelson. “He was selling CDs.”
The students were glad to be
traveling in a large group, as they
sometimes saw people who seemed,
to them, to be a bit overwhelming or
even intimidating.
For instance, they told of a couple of guys sitting on a bench, yelling as people as they passed by.
There were some strangely
dressed people along Hollywood
Boulevard and at Disneyland and
Universal Studios who also made
them a little nervous. They told of
someone dressed like the snowman
Olaf, from the movie “Frozen,”
who asked some of the girls if they
wanted a hug. They explained that
Coralea Fuss was quick to answer
with an emphatic “No!” “He was
kind of creepy,” some of the girls
commented.
Rory Waliser recalled having
seen someone he described as an
“overweight Johnny Depp, who
was dressed as Depp’s character
“Edward Scissorhands.”
Some of the girls told of a guy
dressed as a Buckingham Palace
Guard who would grab their hands
and try to hold them as they walked
by. “It was mortifying,” they commented.
They reported that Sarah Hansen had been harassed by someone
dressed as Curious George. “Crusty
the Clown,” a cartoon character
from “The Simpsons” series, had
pretended to be mad because no one
wanted to have their picture taken
with him.
In the “Old Town” section of the
city they noticed someone who was
apparently walking a rooster on a
leash. Many of the areas, especially
where there were food vendors,
were frequented by birds. The birds
were so tame that they would land
on people’s shoulders. Emily Hardebeck reportedly enjoyed feeding
the birds chili cheese fries.
After leaving the “Old Town”
section, the group went to the Santa
Monica Beach, where they were
able to enjoy three hours of swimming and sunbathing. Preslie Ercink
commented that she was impressed
with the beach’s soft, clean sand.
Others were excited about having
seen a seal during their visit to the
beach. “It was near an area where
some fisherman were fishing off the
pier,” explained Emily Nelson. “It
looked like it was waiting for some
leftover fish.”
After spending some time on
the beach on Monday, it was time
for the Lisbon group to head for
home. When they arrived in Minneapolis, they found out that one of
the three school busses which had
been sent to pick them up had broken down on the way to the Twin
Cities. That meant that, after stowing their instruments and luggage in
the suburban and trailer brought for
that purpose, the tired travelers had
to squeeze onto two busses for the
return trip to Lisbon.
Although the tight quarters
made the long ride home from
Minneapolis more uncomfortable,
the students’ spirits were lightened
when the busses stopped at Clearwater, MN at a combination gas station/bakery/restaurant. “They had
world famous donuts at that bakery,” reported Kayci Hanna. “They
also had wonderful apple fritters,
which some of the kids bought. I
bought one donut and, after eating it, I went back and bought four
more!”
The group arrived back home
in Lisbon at 5 a.m. Tuesday morning, tired but happy. Most of them
reported that they went home and
slept for most of the day.
The students were asked to
comment on their favorite part
of the whole California trip. Preslie Ercink was quick to answer,
“Medieval Times.” This prompted
comments from several other students, who explained that they had
enjoyed a dinner and tournament
in a rodeo arena-type setting on
the night after performing at Dis-
neyland. The meal featured “baby
dragon,” which, they explained,
was actually chicken, as a main
course. It was eaten with no silverware, since it was supposed to be
served as in medieval times. The
entertainment consisted of knights
who were doing jousting and other
medieval sporting competitions.
“We were in the blue section, so
were cheering for the blue knight,”
they recalled. “And he won!”
Emily Nelson, MacKenzie
Iwen, and Rory Waliser agreed that
Universal Studios was their favorite. Emily, who was unable to march
with the band because her leg was
in a brace, explained that she still
thoroughly enjoyed the trip, especially the tour of Universal Studios.
Kayci Hanna said, in her mind,
the best part of the trip was the
“Wizardly World of Harry Potter”
at Universal Studios. “I loved the
butter beer (a cold, creamy, frothy
drink sold at that attraction. Actually, I like everything about Harry
Potter. I’ve read the whole series of
Harry Potter books and have three
copies of each.”
Haley Anderson said, “I liked
the marching – not “before” and not
“after” – just the marching. It was
very warm, but it was really a thrill
to be able to march down the street
with our Bronco Band at such a
famous place as Disneyland.”
Mr. Monilaws agreed that the
trip was a lot of fun and goes so
far as to say that the amazing performances by the band and choir in
such a famous venue marked the
high point, thus far, in his teaching
career. He said he would not rate the
trip as his favorite of the music trips
he has been on, since he generally
likes them to be a little more structured, with a more rigid itinerary,
but he did say that the trip was a lot
of fun and that he was very proud of
his talented group of students.

Because of delayed absentee ballots...
Law calls for automatic
recount in Lisbon
City Council race
Last week the Gazette gave the
unofficial results of the Election
in Ransom County. In the Lisbon
city election it was determined
that Jeremy Waliser with 253
votes was the winner of the third
seat on the council as Lyle Thomason had received 239 votes.
and David Cole, Sr received 100
votes.
Due to a number of absentee
ballots that were postmarked on
June 13, but didn’t arrive at the
courthouse until June 15, the
day after the Primary Election, an
Automatic Recount was called for
by state law.
When the delayed absentee
ballots were opened and counted,
Waliser was still at 253 and
Thomason’s total was 244 which
was five additonal votes. This
narrowed the gap between the two
candidates to a nine votes difference or .7 % which qualified for
an automatic recount.
The law states that an automatic recount is required if an
individual fails to be nominated
by 1% or less of the vote cast for
the candidate receiving the most
votes. This is what happened in
the city council election. Waliser
was the unofficial winner of the
city council seat until the absentee
ballots came in narrowing the gap
between the two candidates
The automatic recount is to
be held by the canvassing board
on Monday, June 27 at the courthouse where the winner of that
third seat on the city council will
be determined.
SCHOOL BOARD...
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
The board decided that each
board member would review the
four candidates for the Lisbon
Public Schools Hall of Fame, pick
their top two to bring to the July
meeting on July 12. The board
also discussed establishing more
standards with which to make their
choices for the Hall of Fame.
“All four applications are good
choices,” said Liz Andeson, board
member.
At the beginning of the meeting, the board canvassed the 26
votes for school board members
and welcomed back to the board
Brenna Welton and Matt Webb.
Johnson talked about implementing “placed-based” education this
fall. Place-based education builds
on students building a sense of
civic duty right here in this community.
After reviewing the report and
discussing it with Johnson, the
board approved the report.
In further business before the
board, lunch and breakfast and
activity fees were discussed. The
board decided to leave breakfast
fees the same and raise lunch fees
by ten cents towards the goal to get
closer to what other schools are
charging.
Commission... CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
leave hours accumulated at previous jobs. It was also brought
up that Carow already has sick
leave hours accumulated through
the Public Employees Retirement
System (PERS).
It was brought to Gilbert’s
attention by the other board members that another member of the
social service department had
been allowed to transfer some sick
leave from a previous position in
another county. Gilbert argued
that this had been done under the
guidance of the previous department head. With the hiring of the
new director she said she felt they
should start over fresh with new
rules.
After further discussion, Commissioner Steve Dick moved to
allow Carow to transfer 40 hours
of sick leave accumulated at her
job in Benson County to her present position. Norm Hansen seconded the motion for purposes of
further discussion. Hansen suggested that, since a transfer of
40 hours of sick leave had been
allowed for a full-time employee
and Carow had been hired to
work three days a week (60 percent of full-time), Carow should
be allowed to transfer in only 60
percent of 40 hours, or 24 hours
of sick leave.
Dick called for the vote on his
motion. The motion was defeated
with Dick, Hansen, Gilbert,
George Bunn and Neil Olerud all
voting “No.”
Hansen then moved to allow
the transfer of 24 hours of sick
leave from Carow’s Benson
County job. Dick seconded the
motion, which carried with Hansen, Dick, Bunn, and Olerud
voting “Yes” and Gilbert voting
“No.”
County receives refunds on
workman’s compensation
premium
Randy Gallagher, Ransom
County Risk Manager, reported
that the county had received three
refund checks, reflecting discounts on their workman’s compensation insurance premiums for
the past year.
They received a check for
$1,172.42, which amounted to
a 5% premium discount given
to counties participating in the
Workforce Safety and Insurance
(WSI) Learning Management
System (LMS) computer based
training program during 2015.
The county received a second
check, in the same amount, which
amounted to a 5% discount for
the county’s participation in the
Claims Management and Drug
Free Workplace Training Programs.
The county also received a
premium divident credit refund
of $1,979.35. The three refund
checks totaled $4,324.19.
Insurance coverage for intern
Johnson reported that she had
checked into workman’s compensation coverage for an intern
which Sheriff Darren Benneweis
had indicated his department
would be having this summer.
She had been told that the intern
would not be covered under the
county’s current workman’s compensation insurance since the
intern would not be considered
a paid employee of the county.
However, insurance for someone
such as an intern could be added
for a very reasonable fee.
Dick moved, seconded by
Hansen, to authorize the auditor’s
office to go ahead and add the policy for the intern in the sheriff’s
office for as long as it is needed,
pending approval by Sheriff Benneweis.
Road department news
Jacob
Loegering,
engineer, KLJ, reported that he had
checked on the cost of adding
two additional blocks of paving
on McLeod’s Main Street as discussed at a previous commissioners’ meeting. Mark’s Sand and
Gravel, the company which will
be doing the paving of the Sunflower Road and a portion of the
Fort Ransom Road this summer
and which has offered to pave one
block of McLeod’s Main Street,
free of charge, as a donation
toward the community’s Cowboy
Up cancer drive, came back with
the figure of $53,000 for the extra
two blocks of paving. Loegering
commented that is around three
times as much as what he had
expected the cost to be. The board
agreed that, with the cost being
that high, they do not wish to pursue that project.
Loegering
reported
that
Mark’s Sand and Gravel’s crew
has moved their June 20 starting
date back a week. They now plan
to move into the county to start
the Sunflower Road/Fort Ransom
road projects the week of June 27.
That means that their completion
date will also be pushed back a
week.
Loegering provided the board
with two reimbursement requests
to be sent to the North Dakota
Department of Transportation
(NDDOT). The reimbursement
requests for preliminary design
engineering construction work in
the amounts of $6,607.04 on the
Sunflower Road and $8,203.70
on the Fort Ransom Road. Dick
moved, seconded by Hansen, to
approve the requests and authorize Chairman Neil Olerud to
sign them. The requests will then
be sent to the NDDOT for reimbursement from the county’s state
highway funds approved by the
legislature.
Loegering also reported that
the state DOT had approved the
county’s proposed plan to pave
the remainder of the Fort Ransom
Road, from where this summer’s
project ends to Highway 46, next
summer. Loegering stated that
the cost of the engineering contract for the project would be
$24,650.00. Dick moved, seconded by Hansen, to proceed with
the project and to approve the
engineering contract. The motion
passed with a unanimous vote.
Loegering stated that the bidletting for the project will be in
October or November.
Ransom County Road Superintendent Jerry Lamb was asked
about crop encroachments along
the Sheldon Road. He stated
that he thought there were fewer
encroachments than in previous
years. The board agreed that it
appears some farmers, at least,
are trying to stay out of the county
right-of-way when planting their
crops.
Lamb stated that he has
received some calls regarding
questions about whether or not the
county is giving back the 25 feet
of right-of-way as discussed earlier. The board explained that they
had voted to return 25 feet of the
100 foot right-of-way, but, after
doing so, believed the decision
may not have been in their best
interest. However, having already
voted to do so, they did not think
they could overturn that decision. Therefore, they have agreed
to give back the 25 feet, in the
areas where the right-of-way had
been at 100 feet. Recording those
changes in the recorder’s office is
a long process which has not been
completed. However, land owners
in those areas should be aware that
the right-of-way has been reduced
from 100’ to 75’. There are areas
along the road, especially near
the town of Sheldon, where the
right-of-way is much narrower. In
those areas the right-of-way will
not change. Letters of notification
of the changes are being prepared,
but are awaiting clarification.
Lamb reported that, by the
end of the week, the county crew
will have used all the crack sealing material they have available
and will be done with those projects for the season. The material
has been used in the areas having highest priority. The crew has
also been repairing the road near
McLeod in preparation for graveling.
Beer, Sunday opening, and
raffle permits approved
Johnson reported that the
commissioners had received an
application for a beer and Sunday
opening license for the Sandune
Saloon, McLeod, from Jerome
Olerud, Sr. Chairman Neil Olerud
stated that Jerome is his cousin.
He explained that his cousin is
presently retired, has been a big
promoter of baseball, and is planning to move to the McLeod area
to run the bar, which his father
had owned many years ago. The
back taxes on the property have
been paid in full and a check
for $350 was included with the
application to cover the cost of
the license for this year. Johnson
explained that, since the bar will
not be re-opening until after July
1, she felt it would be fair to prorate the license fee and charge for
only half of the year, which would
be $175.
Bunn moved, seconded by
Dick, to approve the license. Following the county’s approval,
Jerome Olerud must apply for
state approval.
The board also approved a permit for bingo at the Fort Ransom
Arena on July 4. The application
was submitted by the Alumni
Chapter of the North Dakota
Leadership Seminar.

eyesight,” said Estelle.
Did she ever think she would
reach the age of 103?
“No, I thought for sure, I would
die before my husband,” said Esttelle, matter of factly.
She laughed when asked what
advice she would give people about
living so long, “One day at a time,”
she replied.
After Hurricane Katrina in
New Orleans, Estelle got the idea
to do something to help the people
affected by it. She likes to make
quilts. When she asked for help
making quilts, nobody wanted to
help so she ended up making 252
quilts herself. Dr. Rudy and Carol
Loperena distributed some of the
quilts for her.
“My greatest joy (in life) was
when I made 250 quilts for Hurricane victims,” said Estelle.
Estelle celebrated her 103rd
birthday on Thursday, June 23 at
Parkside.

Doosan Bobcat to move production of excavator line to make room for growth in Gwinner
On Thursday, June 16, Bobcat
Company announced the expansion
of manufacturing at the company’s
Bismarck facility to accommodate production of the equipment
leader’s next generation of compact
excavators.
The announcement came as a
surprise to the employees and surrounding communities. A meeting
was called in the plant just prior
to releasing the information to the
media.
The company estimates 160
additional jobs could be created
in Bismarck as part of the shift.
Approximately 140 employees will
be impacted at the Gwinner facility; the company expects a majority of those positions to be managed
through attrition. Affected employ-
ees will be able to apply for additional positions within the company
and will be offered transitional
assistance with the change.
Gwinner Mayor Dan McKeever
believes in the future of Bobcat in
Gwinner. With the next generation
of skid steer loaders there will still
be needs for housing. McKeever is
optimistic for the future of Gwinner.
“In ‘08 and ‘09 the excavators
were all built in Bismarck,” said
McKeever. “At that time, Bismarck
took a big hit when they moved
the excavator out of Bismarck and
brought it to Gwinner.
“Just through attrition they
lose 15 employees a month anyway,” McKeever went on to say.
“We won’t see that rapid pace of
growth that we have seen over the
past few years but once they make
this adjustment we will get back on
track next year.”
Doosan
Bobcat
recently
unveiled their newly restructured
engineering department in Gwinner as well as a revitalization of
the main plant with renovated
employee break room and restroom
facilities.
The company announced that
the change will begin later this year
and continue through 2017. This
move is done to create space and
ability needed in the Gwinner plant
to begin planning and bringing in
the Generation Six compact loader.
This is part of the companies strategic plan for growth.
“Gwinner is our home. We’ve
been producing Bobcat products
there for nearly 60 years, and we’ll
continue to do so with current and
future generations of compact
loaders,” said Laura Ness Owens,
director of marketing for Bobcat
Company. “We’ve made significant
investments in Gwinner in recent
years and will continue to do so as
necessary. This announcement reaffirms our commitment to continue
as the market leader, while also
remaining strong in North Dakota.”

Lisbon Happy Days had something for everyone
The 2016 Lisbon Happy
Days Celebration held on Friday, June 17, Saturday, June 18
and Sunday 19 brought many
back to town for some class
reunions and to take in the fun.
All of Friday’s events were
well attended with no rain in
sight. The many offerings of
food from various businesses
were well attended.
“Pound the Pavement for
the Pool” 5K run/walk and kids
fun run held on Friday evening
were a success. This event was
sponsored by the Pool Preservers Committee with all the
money raised to go toward updating the pool.
Saturday, June 18 schedule
of activities got off to a shaky
start with two hours of heavy
rain. However the rain didn’t
seem to dampen anything but
the streets.
The Happy Days Parade
went off without a hitch with
the Lisbon High School Class
of 1961 float leading the class
floats. The Class of 1961 celebrated their 55th class reunion.
Their class had the most people
riding on their float.
The Golf Scramble had
a rain delay and a slightly
squishy course while the outdoor concert at the North Dakota Veterans Home was moved
indoors out of concern for more
rain in the afternoon, which did
not come.
Some of the city wide rummage sales may have gotten a
bit damp or had to be moved
indoors, but nothing disastrous
happened.
The Annual Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast made out just
fine in spite of the rain. One
member stated that it did not
seem to hurt them at all as they
still made as much as they did
last year without having counted the tickets and silent auction
money.
The Liq’R Pigz MC had a
great turn out for their Annual
BBQ Cook Off. It was one of
their best year’s yet, according
to the club president.
“I think I took four showers
on Saturday,” laughed Tom Jacobson, president of the club.
“We were setting up in the rain
on Saturday morning and then
the sun came out and the humidity came up with it. It all
turned out in spite of me feeling
like a wet dog most of the day.”
Jacobson reported 585 people attended the Annual BBQ
Cook Off this year with nine
contestants entered in cook off.
Sheyenne River Band played
during the Cook Off.
First place went to the Double W from Reynolds, ND.
Second place went to Turn and
Burn with Cliff Howey, Lisbon
and the Hanna Brothers took
third place as well as the People’s Choice Award. The Pit
Boss Pellet Grill was won by
Barb Lyons and the Vision Egg
Grill was won by Art Haugness.
Results of Sunday’s Sheyenne River Speedway races can
be found on the sports page.
Two little ones found their own way to cool off on a 90 degree
day while their parents watched the Fun Run during Lisbon’s
Happy Days.
Jace Seelig, LHS Class of 2009 heads for the finish line as the first
runner to cross it.
Kari Webb, member of Lisbon Pool Preserver Committee, hands out Freezies
to participants in the Kids Fun Run.
Lisbon High School Class of 1961 took the lead in the class reunion floats during Saturday, June 18 Happy Days Parade. Classmates Daryl Sagvold and Bud Lyons are enjoying the parade.
The skies opened up and rain poured down on Saturday, June 18
threatening the Ceative Pictures Classic Car Show held on Main Street
in the parking lot between Pizza Ranch and Subway from 10 a.m. - 1
p.m. As soon as the rain let up, the parking lot was full of people who
love classic cars.
HOWEY... CONTINUED
when she became ill. Her husband was in the military and requested an emergency transfer when Jackie
died. They found a house in the same neighborhood
where Howey lived with his sons. It was only a half
block away from her dad and Michelle was able to
help with the boys.
In an interesting twist of fate, five years after his
wife, Jackie died of leukemia, Howey married Michelle’s mother-in-law. Sue was a widow. They had
a good life together until Sue passed away in 2013.
Howey’s son, Gary died in 1996 of a congestive heart
failure. The death of a child is always very hard for a
parent to handle.
Howey is now 91 and would love to move back
to Lisbon. He would like to live at the ND Veterans
Home. He has friends in Lisbon, Tom Knapp is a close
friend along with Bill Sullivan. Michelle says she just
simply can’t stand to have her father so far away. He
lives with Michelle now and she would not be able
to move with him to Lisbon because her children and
grandchildren are in Texas. Raymond, Jr. also lives in
Texas.
Howey is a very gentle spoken man who doesn’t
see himself nearly as special as his family does. He
has a quick sense of humor with a sparkle in his eye.
Phyllis Krchnavy is Howey’s niece. She, too, is very
proud of her uncle.
Son Allen now lives in Fort Dodge, Iowa. He and
his family moved there 22 years ago and he loves living off the land. They raise goats and sell the milk for
drinking as well as for soap and lotion making.
“I think it was all the stories my dad told of living on the farm,” said Allen. “He grew up on a farm
nine miles southwest of Lisbon. He told of having it so
much better off than the town kids during the depression because they had chickens, and eggs, fresh milk
and a garden. They never went hungry like some of
the town kids did.”
Allen is very close with his father and makes frequent visits to Texas. He helped Michelle drive her
dad to Lisbon for the family reunion.
While Howey was very reluctant to tell of his heroism in the war, his son Allen and daughter Michelle
They are off and running! Participants lined up to race in the “Pound the
Pavement for the Pool” 5K run/walk to raise funds for the preservation of
the Lisbon Pool. It was sponsored by the Lisbon Pool Preservers during
Lisbon’s Happy Days.
shared some of the things he experienced that shaped
him into the man, husband and father that he became.
Howey worked for the war department as a messenger following his discharge from the Army. He
took information from Paris to the front lines. It was
on one such mission that his jeep hit a land mine and
he was tossed one way and his riffle was pinned under
the jeep that went into the opposite ditch. As he tried
to pull himself together and climb out of the bushes,
he realized there was a German soldier in the same
bushes. They began to fight.
Howey had ‘liberated’ a German side arm in another encounter and had spent some time filing a bullet down to fit the handgun. He had that weapon in
his waistcoat. While he was trying to get his weapon
he was also trying to keep the German soldier from
unsnapping his side arm. They struggled, face to face,
hand to hand. According to Allen, Howey fired his
only shot and he watched the soldier’s life drain out
of him.
“That was a horrible experience for a North Dakota farm boy,” said Allen at the family reunion at the
Lisbon Senior Citizen’s Center on Saturday, June 18.
Howey had been in battles before. He had no doubt
shot the enemy, but it was always at a distance. This
experience was very painful and traumatic for him as
it is for any soldiers during war time.
Michelle asked her father one time why he didn’t
keep the helmet that saved his life. They were in a
museum and he told her to pick up the helmet and feel
how heavy it was. He was issued a new helmet and it
just wasn’t practical to carry around something that
was heavy and didn’t serve a purpose.
For Howey, life has taken him to many places. He
has seen many things. He has buried two wives and a
son. Howey has 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He still calls Lisbon home and remembers
the good life of being raised on a farm where he never
went hungry even during the depression.
“I missed out on the dirty 30s,” said Howey. “At
least I was too young to know that is what they were.
We had all that we needed growing up and didn’t realize we were poor.”
“Through compassionate
and customized care, I aim
to address the physical and
emotional needs of my patients
during all stages of their life.”
