Feeling the impact of a daycare shortage Murdered
By Brandon Becker
Children coloring, playing with
toys or enjoying a root beer float
while their parent works nearby is
becoming a common sight at DivideBurke Abstract in Crosby.
Throughout the school year, parents Jacey Lindbo and Lee Svangstu
have their children come to the business after school is finished for the
day.
During the summer it can be
much more difficult for families to
find child care, and for Lindbo it
causes her to have to bring her son
into work once a week.
Eight-year-old Will spends two
days each week in day care and two
days at home -- one with his dad and
one with his mom on their days off.
But on the fifth day, the best option for the Lindbo’s is to have Will
come to work with Jacey.
“It’s been very, very nice. That’s
one of the reasons I started working
here is because it’s so flexible,” said
Lindbo. “It’s been very good that
Sandy lets the kids here.”
Simonson has embraced the challenges her employees have to deal
with regarding child care.
“I just feel the people that I have
are valuable to me,” Simonson said.
“When I hire people and they have
kids I tell them, ‘your kids come
first’.”
Svangstu has care for her children during the summer, but with
a new baby recently welcomed to
her home, Simonson said she could
bring in the newborn if she is unable
to find help. She joked that not much
work would get done because everyone would want to see the baby.
Simonson did acknowledge she is
able to allow kids in her office, because the company does most of its
business electronically, rather than
in person.
For other parents hoping to find
day care in Crosby, it is going to re-

quire patience.
Manager of Crosby Kids Daycare,
Carrie Marschner, said the day care
is currently full to capacity with 36
kids, and 29 on the waiting list.
“There’s just a lot more demand.
We have stopped taking kids for the
waiting list,” she said. “People have
been on the list for a year.”
It’s been quite the turnaround
for the day care, which almost had
to make significant changes due to
staffing issues six months ago.
“For a while we had kids on the
waiting list because I didn’t have
staff. It’s good right now because I
have a good staff,” Marschner said.
“We were to the point where we
thought we were going to have to
cut a bunch of kids because we had
nobody to work.”
The day care now has seven fulltime staff members and three part
timers. It’s all they can handle, even
if more parents were willing to work
there.
Marschner and Krystal Peterson
have group licenses, which means
they can only take a maximum of 18
children each.
There’s only one other day care in
town -- the Johnson Daycare. Cindy
Johnson runs it and is a self-declared
provider, meaning she can care for
five or fewer children.

Cashing out: Positive market fuels dreams
Higher prices let some pursue the life they have always wanted
By Megan Reberg
It is no secret that oil-rich western North
Dakota has not been effected by the kind
of housing crisis the rest of the country is
feeling.
Some Tioga and Crosby homeowners
are using this opportunity to cash in.
“The housing market is very strong. A
home that would have sold for $25,000
can probably get six figures now, said Basin Broker’s Amber Haugland of Crosby.
“Over the past few years, house prices
in Tioga have doubled,” said Ashley Martin
of Century 21.
For example, a house in Tioga sold for
$80,000 four years ago and sold this year
for $179,000 said Martin.
Statewide, North Dakota’s median home
values have continued to rise since the
1940s according the U.S. Census, other
states nationally hit a peak in 2007 and
have declined ever since.
“We had such a depressed economy
for so long. It is great to finally catch up,”
Haugland said.
Russ Papineau, Tioga real estate broker,
has worked in the industry for more than
20 years.
“Back in 1988, there was no market, a lot
of empty houses and HUD houses. Now
the market is all fired up,” he said.
The oil industry has enticed many businesses and individuals to try their hand in
For sale signs, whether belonging to
agents or the owners themselves, are the
newest crop in North Dakota.
western North Dakota. This has lowered
the unemployment rate attracting people
from all over the country looking for work.
All of this activity puts a strain on the housing market and increases the demand. One
effect is that many businesses will not hire
new employees unless they already have a
place to live.
“It is interesting to see the mix of people
coming to the area. I see people who used
to live here and are coming back for work
and a lot from all over the country,” Haugland said.
“The telephone calls have skyrocketed
from almost every state looking for land or
to start a business,” Papineau said.
Open house planned for State’s
first incentive fund project
The Divide County Economic Development Council, along
with NW Holdings, LLC, and the North Dakota Housing Finance
Agency are planning a public open house and celebration for a
new Crosby 12-plex.
The project is the first North Dakota Housing Incentive Fund
project to complete construction.
The program was capitalized by contributions from state income and financial institution taxpayers.
The open house will be starting at 1:15 p.m., Tuesday, July
24, at the new units, located just north of the Guardian Inn, on
Crosby south side.
The first occupants are scheduled for move-in on Aug. 1.
A second 12-plex is also under construction next door, with
occupancy expected this fall.
Such demand for housing is good news
for homeowners looking to sell, but Haugland advises them to be realistic.
“Sometimes people hear things around
town and think their house can get more
than it should. It is important to be realistic when selling your home, Haugland said.
Even short term investment is paying off
for some.
Another house in Tioga was bought four
months ago for $168,000 and is now on the
market for $196,000.
There are many reasons homeowners
put their houses up for sale--to make a
profit, move for medical reasons, be closer
to family, or challenges with the changes
from the oil boom, yet most are staying in
the area.
“Most people are selling their older
houses in order to buy new or build a new
home,” said Martin.
Haugland said that there are a multitude
of reasons people are now selling.
“People who have not been here for
their whole lives are usually looking to
capitalize, while older folks are seeing an
opportunity to live the life they have always wanted,” she said.
North Dakota’s housing market has never peaked and never crashed thankfully to
the positive economy.
Will the trend continue? Haugland said,
“that’s the million dollar question.”
By Cecile Krimm
Three serious incidents in the region in recent days provide verification for local law
enforcement of a growing criminal element,
with a couple of the incidents having a direct
tie to Crosby.
“These people are here,” said Divide County Sheriff Lauren Throntveit, but they are not
always apprehended while in this jurisdiction.
And sometimes, a one-time suspect becomes a victim.
Lee Clay, 40, who had lived in Crosby for
most of the past year, coming to the attention
of law enforcement for steroid violations in
May, Friday was identified as a murder victim
near Bismarck. Lee’s body was discovered in
the crashed van of a Montana man who has
already told a judge he wants to plead guilty
to the crime.
On Thursday, Divide County deputies assisted U.S. Marshals who came to Crosby
to arrest a Georgia man wanted on federal
firearms violations. His female accomplice
slipped away.
In a third incident, Saturday, in Plentywood,
Mont., a man said to be an oil field worker
brandished a gun in a casino on the outskirts
of town, and was ultimately shot and killed by
police. (See Page 8 for more details.)
Lee, Throntveit said, came to the area for
work in the oil field and has a brother still living in town.
Likewise, he said, Tobias Goines, 27, the
man arrested by U.S. Marshals, was believed
to have been attracted to the area by other
family members or acquaintances already living here.
Goines is in the process of being extradited
to Georgia. Jasmine Williams, 21, who is also
wanted by the feds, left Crosby a day before
Goines was arrested, said Throntveit.
John Bridges, 42, of Missoula, Mont., who is
being held for Lee’s murder, is not known to
have any ties to Divide County.
RV parking in private lots will
soon require $1,000 permit
By Megan Reberg
Camper and RV parking on
commercial and residential lots
received talk at the July’s city
council meeting.
Residents have seen more
and more campers and RVs
around town these past few
years and the city has plans to
address the issue.
“It is an eyesore,” said Mayor
Les Bakken.
“It’s not fair for those guys
who are renting their spots out
at the fairgrounds,” said Council Member Troy Vassen.
The council earlier issued
warnings to residents that they
had to move campers and RVs
by July 1 or provide a place
they are moving it within a limited amount of time.
If no such plans are in the
works, said City Auditor Carol
Lampert, “they should be ticketed or cited.”
“If it is just family or friends
visiting for a week or two, that’s
okay, but this needs to be a finable offense,” she said.
The council agreed that if
campers or RVs are needed to
house workers for a construction project, they can apply for

a permit. The council would
look at each permit on a case by
case basis. If the time limit expires, reapplication for another
permit would be possible.
The council held the first
reading of an ordinance, instituting a parking fee of $1,000 for
a 30 day permit for an RV or mobile home on the construction
site itself. The motion passed
unopposed.
Another issue discussed was
concern over truck parking between the pool and Pioneer Village.
“We have the Threshing Bee
and a big baseball tournament
coming up,” said Vassen.
“We need to think about safety and parking for everyone,”
he said.
“If we do this,” said Bakken,
“we need to eliminate it completely or leave it.”
The council discussed that
there is private parking for
trucks around town, for a fee.
Trucks currently parking in
the previously designated space
near the threshing grounds will
receive a warning sticker.

A billion dollars goes up in smoke over the Fourth
Fireworks have their
place, but so does a
good night s sleep
There wasn’t much left of the Fourth
of July.
I was lying in bed as the clock ticked
ever closer to July 5, trying with uncharacteristically little success to get
to sleep, when my mind settled on this
thought:
A lot of hard-earned American money goes literally up in smoke this time
of year.
“Boom . . . . pop, pop, pop, pop.”
Another round of ordinance reports
from our neighbors’s Independence
Day celebration purged my mind and
set my blood back to boiling.
Another $5 had gone up in smoke
less than 100 feet from where our open
bedroom windows were trying desperately to draw some cool night air into
our air conditoner-less home.
“How long is this going to go on,”
Passing
Dreams
By Steve Andrist
growled my sleep deprived bed mate.
She -- OK, me too -- was particularly
grumpy because the night previous
Mother Nature had treated us to her
own fireworks show. Actually, three of
them, the last one coming about 2:30
a.m. with brilliant flashes in the night
sky, reports more ominous than those
produced by anything with a fuse, and
capped with hard white stones catapulting from the heavens.
“Can I call the cops now?”
It was now well past the midnight
hour, but ever the Norwegian, I mumbled something about how they had to
be nearing the end of their arsenal.
“That’s it,” she grumped, noting as
she threw on a robe that it was now
12:30 a.m. and she hadn’t slept a wink.
I listened to her bare feet stomping
down the hallway, then heard the force
of the front door being yanked open.
“Hey can you guys . . .”
“Would you . . .
“Would you guys please stop so people around here can get some sleep?”
No “Boom . . . . pop, pop, pop, pop.”
From across the street came a sheepish response.
“Oh, sorry ma’am.”
And then, the silence was golden
and the sleep quickly became deep.
On our pre-breakfast walk the next
morning, we wondered whether people
could really be so clueless as to not realize that neighbors might be bothered
by post-midnight booms and pops.
We wondered why none of our law
enforcement brethren were around to
put a stop to the peace-disturbing performance.
And we talked, recognizing that talk
is cheap, about the satisfaction that
might come if we started lighting noisy
fireworks at 6:30 a.m. since they were
doing it just six hours earlier.
Then my mind started wandering
back to that question: how much money really does go up in smoke?
The previous evening, we had
watched snippets of TV coverage of the
Macy’s July 4th extravaganza over New
York’s Hudson River, and some of the
beautiful colors and patterns erupting
over the mall in our nation’s capitol.
These are America’s biggest Independence Day fireworks displays, each
reportedly costing in the millions rather than the thousands.
The American Pyrotechnics Association estimates that some $318 million
was spent on displays such as these
this year, according to information
posted on its web site.
The total is about 48 percent more
than was spent on such displays just
10 years ago.
Still, it pales in comparison to what
consumers like our neighbors shell out
for the sights and sounds of the Fourth.
The APA estimates that total at $649
million, a 50 percent increase in 10
years.
Together, the display and consumer
fireworks purchases come in just under a billion dollars.
Up in smoke.
It’s gotta make you wonder how
many good works could be done if the
country’s pyrotechnical spending was
diverted to something more altruistic.
A billion bucks, after all, is a real
chunk of change. Enough, for instance,
to solve the housing crisis in the oil
patch.
On the other hand, I guess there’s
some value to building the American
spirit through the patriotic celebration
of our country’s birthday.
And of course, there are a lot of
people who earn a living by making
the fireworks. Even more deliver them,
and more yet who take care of the retail sales.
So, I may be forced to admit that
this capitalist industry represents the
American way.
Still, couldn’t we just divert the pyrotechnic spending by people in my
neighborhood?
Tradition, yes -- oﬃce gun,
probably not necessary now
One of the things I love about the newspaper
business is the lore surrounding the “olden days.”
Like the story I read last week in the National
Newspaper Association’s “Publisher’s Auxiliary.”
In a story about a small Colorado town rallying
to save its financially marginal newspaper was
the tidbit that 130 years earlier a drunken miner
had entered the newspaper office with a gun.
At this point, the “office gun” was brandished
and the conflict was quelled.
That notion, of an “office gun,” gave me the
giggles.
Suffice it to say no “office gun” reposes in our
newspaper offices today, but plenty of good traditions remain. Like the tradition of our small
town correspondents, who, despite the growing
popularity and immediacy of platforms like facebook, still manage to send us neighborly tidbits
each week.
The number of these columns may have diminished over the years and the names of the
locales may have changed -- anyone remember a
place called Pie Corner? -- but this “chicken dinner” news, I hope, will continue to be collected
and shared in our newspapers for many years to
come.
What sustains them? For that matter, what sustains any small town newspaper today?
I can sum it up in two words: local content.
This is content you aren’t going to find in any
other newspaper, on the radio, or on your television screen -- at least not on a daily basis.
Billionaire Warren Buffet is so convinced of the
future viability of small town papers he just purchased 63 of them, noting that local content will
continue to make them valuable no matter how
many big daily newspapers fold.
Buffet says, “Newspapers that intensively cover their communities will have a good future. It’s
your job to make your paper indispensable to
anyone who cares about what is going on in your
town.”
Indispensable? Let’s hope so. Can we strive to
do better in that department? Always.
It’s been interesting, as I’ve shared the news
with friends and relatives across the country that
I’ve just become the owner of two newspapers.
“Are you sure it’s a wise investment?” they ask.
Notwithstanding an oil boom, I tell them, I
knew they were a good bet even before reading
Buffet’s three caveats -- 1. Newspapers must remain profitable without reducing new coverage,
2. Local sports teams make big local news, and 3.
Whines & Roses
By Cecile Krimm
We must not give away our expensively gathered
local news.
Who am I to argue with Warren Buffet?
For all of the competition on the world wide
web, The Tioga Tribune and The Journal of Crosby will always have something to offer readers
that they can’t get online.
“They still breathe the local air. They still drink
the local water. They still drive on the locals
roads,” said Bill Reader, an associate professor
at Ohio State University, in a recent column by
Steve Jordon of the Omaha World-Herald.
“As long as that’s the case, they’re going to
need information about where they live and that’s
why local media are critical,” Reader concluded.
It’s why merging our two publications could
spell disaster no matter how tempting the saving
of labor or how much content can be shared.
Only when the sharing of resources -- as in
Megan Reberg’s regional story on the real estate
market this week -- tells both audiences something more about themselves than they would
have learned had the story been limited to their
town alone, does it serve.
Especially now that towns like Ray, Crosby and
Tioga are facing such unprecedented change, this
regional perspective only enhances the coverage
in both newspapers, lending an added context no
other media can match.
We can never abandon -- nor would we ever
want to -- our unique local perspective in either
market.
That’s growing harder as the people covering
the news have a shorter association in each town
and as the stalwarts of our communities move
out to be replaced with new folks we haven’t met
yet.
Never before has it been more crucial for us
to reach out for reader input on stories you feel
we’ve missed or that warrant further investigation.
Online communication is great for one thing,
I’ll grant you -- writing to the editor -- cecilew@

Nevada issued self-drive license
ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: The
Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles has just
issued the first U.S. license to test a self-driving
car on its streets. The modified Prius operates through auto-pilot technology with lasers
mounted on its roof and grille. Two people
are in the vehicle. One drives while the other
checks traffic lights and hazards.

Before Richard Mesce’s discovery, the largest oyster on record was 12” long, 5 1/2” wide.
The Eureka, Calif., resident’s mollusk measures
13 inches long, six inches wide. The oyster, now
held in Humboldt State University’s aquarium,
is thought to be about 80 years old.

In May, the Bevin Brothers Manufacturing Co. in East Hampton, Conn., burned to the
ground. The factory has been in business since
1832 making bells for ships, doors, hands,
houses, sleighs, cows and sheep. Bevins made
the first bicycle bells and their bells have been
featured in sports games and in the movie, “It’s
a Wonderful Life.”

In the 1980s, Jim Reinders constructed
what is perhaps the weirdest tourist attraction
in the nation. To duplicate England’s Stonehenge, within six days, he balanced or buried
upended cars in a similar formation near Alliance, Neb. Upon his death, he wishes to be
cremated with some of his ashes deposited in

every vehicle’s ash tray.

During the Civil War, one of the Union’s
generals, Daniel Butterfield, had his brigade’s
bugler, Oliver Wilcox Norton, use a tune written
by Major General Winfield Scott for “lights out.”
In 1862, it was first used for a military funeral
by Captain John C. Tidball. Called taps, it became standard for funerals in 1891.

Citing some causes of obesity, in 1969, a
study shows 40 percent of all school children
walked to school. In 2001, only 13 percent
were afoot. Sixty percent of those aged eight

they average 7.5 hours a day using electronic

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What new, out
of the ordinary location is being rented for
weddings, graduations and birthday parties in
Memphis, Tenn.?
There are strokes of luck and strokes for coping
There are strokes of good luck in
our lives. I’ve had my share.
I was extraordinarily lucky in
love. My dad always told me I outmarried myself. I never doubted it.
I was also pretty lucky in business, mostly because I loved my
work. If you love your job you never
have to work another day in your
life, some sage once said.
I think I’ve been lucky in politics
too, mostly because I really love
people.
There are, of course, a few
strokes of bad luck in our lives. My
middle daughter just reminded me
that the blessing of five great kids is
also a stroke of pretty good luck.
She demonstrated this reminder
Sunday as we sat together in a
Minot rehabilitation center, beginning what I hope will be the road to
full recovery from a different kind
of stroke – a medical one – which
is definitely somewhat less than a
good stroke.
By all accounts, however, there
is a silver lining to this and every
curve ball of life. I have no mental
impairment, nor dead, dragging
limbs. In the first week I’ve learned
John-aDreams
By John M. Andrist
to swallow again. And I’m taking
some encouraging first steps in the
process of relearning how to walk.
That’s kind of funny when you
think about it. I’ve been around the
world at least three times in nearly
50-years of jogging. And there have
been a good many years with 1,000
to 2,000 miles on a bicycle, my
favorite hobby.
Alas, in a moment of restricted
blood flow in the tiniest of coronary
arteries in the back of the brain,
I am back to school with normal
1-year-old babies relearning how
to take those first faltering steps
without falling down.
I have accepted the challenge to
train almost as hard as our focused
Olympic athletes -- for a whole lot
smaller potential reward. Sufficient
will be the reward when some day I
ride that bike down the street a few
more times.
You can’t go through something
like this without realizing that
the human body is an incredible
miracle of creation, our home for
whatever years we are given.
There are tens of thousands of
finite things that can go wrong with
a body, but usually don’t. Most of
us take for granted that this will
be so, at least until we have these
reminders that we aren’t Superman,
after all.
Let me tell you a few more
reasons why we can be lucky, even
when we encounter the unlucky.
Nothing is more successful in
bringing a family together than an
event that challenges their solidarity. My kids have been with me
constantly, in tag team fashion,
since the stroke struck early in the
morning of June 29.
Nothing but adversity can make
you understand the importance of
friends and neighbors to our very
existence.
Nothing can make you appreciate the joy of work as much as the
experience of a sudden inability to
do that work. Our bodies, after all,
are the tool boxes of our brains.
So like every other mortal, I’m
coping the best I can. Is there any
other choice?
Goodbye Brother Don
Over the years I’ve written many
times about my close, lifelong
friendship with Don Gackle, whose
career as publisher of the McLean
county Independent in Garrison,
and several other newspapers, paralleled my own.
Amidst my other challenges this
past week, I lost Don. He had the
most patched-up heart of anybody
I’ve ever known, and it is not possible to grieve as much as I really
should. But how can I unselfishly
just say goodbye without some
pain?
Do you have a friend like that? A
friend whose imperfections could
never change the way you feel
about him? A friend for whom you
would simply drop every other
thing in your life to answer his
needs?
That was my brother Don.
Goodbye Don.

Strong export demand boosts hog prices
By Tim Petry
NDSU Extension Service
Both farm level and wholesale
hog and pork prices averaged
about $20 per hundredweight
(cwt) higher than last year in
the first quarter of 2011. Higher
prices were recorded in spite of
larger pork supplies.
The estimated commercial
hog slaughter was near year-ago
levels, while pork production
was up almost 2 percent because the average hog carcass
weights increased from 204 to
208 pounds.
Interestingly, higher weights
occurred in spite of an 85 percent increase in corn prices
compared to the first quarter of
last year.
Higher hog prices are being
fueled by a robust export market
for pork and some improvement
in domestic demand.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting about a 7
percent increase in pork exports
for the first quarter of 2011 and
more than a 10 percent increase
for the year. Actual pork export
numbers for January (the latest month for which data are
available) posted a 17 percent
increase.
Leading U.S. export markets
for pork include Japan, with 30
percent of the market, followed
by Mexico at 24 percent, Canada
with 10 percent and South Korea
about 5 percent.
In January, pork exports to
Japan were up almost 23 percent
from last year. Pork exports to
Mexico were unchanged, Canada
down 5 percent and South Korea up a whopping 144 percent.

At Fortuna Air Base over 100
window panes were broken,
and some men literally saw the
roof lifted from over their heads
when they were eating supper.
Estimated damage at the Base
was $12,000. One of many of
the worst struck farms was the
T.S. Stuart farm north of Crosby.
They suffered 100 percent crop
damage. His barn and granary
blew over, and a cow and pig
died in the storm.
A boating accident at Long
Creek Park brought tragedy to
one Crosby home on the Fourth
of July holiday weekend when
Sgt. George Raymond Sands of
Fortuna Air Base drowned minutes before the storm struck.
Delores Mae Malnaa and U.
Floyd Pederson of Crosby were
united in marriage at Concordia
Lutheran Chruch on July 3.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bly of
Portal are parents of a son born
at St. Luke’s Hosptial on July
3.

of Crosby on Monday, and tore
up considerable track and damaged much of the rolling stock.
There were 10 passengers on
the trains and all escaped without injury.

July 10, 1952: A violent storm
swept through the area leaving
thousands of dollars destruction in its seven to eight mile
hail swath. Winds reached over
100 miles an hour and, carrying
considerable hail, ruined much
of Divide County’s most promising crop area, smashed thousands of windows, and blew
down or damaged dozens of
barns and buildings.

Mother Nature started this
year’s Independence Day holiday with a flash and a bang.
Early on the Fourth of July
she sent a series of thunderstorms rolling across northwestern North Dakota dropping
more than two-and-a-half inches
of rain on some areas.
The storms also brought hail
to the region at about 2:30 a.m.,
with hail stones reported bigger
than large size marbles in some
areas.
However, there was little evidence of damage as a result of
the hail.
Divide County Extension
Agent Keith Brown and Burke
County Extension Agent Dan
Folske both said they were not
aware of any crop damage from
the storms.
Another shot of rain, not
quite a quarter inch, fell Monday before the heat settled in.
The forecast for this week
calls for highs in the upper 80s
and lower 90s and lows in the
low to mid-60s.
There is no rain in the forecast for at least a week.

Heavy traffic raises concern over safety at intersection
By Megan Reberg
Two issues relating to public safety
are being looked at by the Divide County Commission, including a dangerous
highway intersection and preparations
in the event of a widespread weather
emergency.
Crosby Mayor Les Bakken and Divide County Director of Emergency
Services Jody Gunlock on Thursday
brought up the two items at the commission meeting.
The mayor is concerned about the
intersection at ND 5 and the Farm to
Market Road.
The danger has always been present, but is amplified with increasing
traffic, said Bakken, because the roads
do not meet at a 90 degree angle.
“People can’t see decently when
they are turning left,” Bakken said
Doug Graupe agreed, “I took a look
at it the other day, and thought this
isn’t good.”
Bakken came to the commission in
an effort to find out whose responsibility it is to address the issue -- the city,
county, or the state.
“I’m here to see what the procedure
is,” he said.
“When the state built that bypass,
they kind of messed it up,” said Bakken.
Bakken has been told by the city
engineer that the cheapest thing to do
is put in a stoplight, but “even that is
spendy.”
There are a few important aspects
that need to be addressed.
First, Bakken wants to make the in-
tersection more safe because it is very
hard to see if traffic is coming when
someone is taking a left hand turn.
Second, whatever the solution is,
the north and south entrances to the
highway need to meet up.
“With the services at the New Century Ag building there are more people
crossing,” said Graupe.
Graupe recalled an experience that
happened to him.
“I pulled over to the right and had
my left turn signal on, and someone
pulled up to the left and turned before
me,” he said.
Commissioner Tim Selle suggested
the mayor speak to the engineer about
the best option.
In the end, county commissioners
and Bakken decided to look into whose
responsibility it is and the best solution for the safety of all the motorists.
Emergency shelter
Gunlock
asked
commissioners
whether an emergency shelter was in
place for area residents who live in
trailers and RVs.
“I was thinking about it the other
night, with the big storm, and wondered what those people would do in
an emergency,” said Gunlock.
Tornado sirens, thunder storms,
blizzards, power or water outages all
are potential reasons a shelter could
be needed.
Sites offered as possibilities were
the courthouse, the school, and the
basement of the hospital.
The courthouse and the school
would have to be opened because they
are locked when closed and concern
over a generator broken at the courthouse was an issue.
The hospital seemed to be the best
suggestion but would require the approval of the hospital board.
Graupe said they also need to think
about where an emergency team could
set up headquarters in an intense situation.
Commissioners suggested the courthouse and the sheriff’s building could
be the headquarters for an emergency
team if the need arose if the generator
were repaired.
Graupe said he would look further
into the regulations and possible sites.
Water crisis averted with
help from R&T communities
By Traci Papineau
A major breakdown and a reduced water supply last week
left R&T Water Supply board
members thankful for the reactions of residents in Ray, Tioga,
Stanley and Wildrose.
At their board meeting Monday, R&T officials praised conservation efforts that helped
mitigate the crisis.
“We were close to running
out of water,” said plant manager Greg Larson.
While repairs were being
made, a considerable amount
of water reserves were used,
which have nearly been replenished; however, with the
forecast for a hot dry spell of
weather, the board decided to
continue restrictions for the
time being. One part of those
restrictions includes shutting
off water to the two major mancamps, forcing them to truck in
and treat their own water.
Board members received
updates from ICS and the project engineer on progress on
the new water plant. The date
when water should start flowing through the system, barring no problems, is July 19.
Although the major parts of
the project will be done at that
time, there are still others that
need finishing, such as com-

traffic and the dust and noise
that the project would generate, the project site was approved.
R&T board members continue to remain anxious about
the increasing requests for water by large potential developments and the state’s lack of
additional permitting for R&T.
A request is being made to
the state in the hope that increased usage out of the Ray
aquifer will be approved soon.
Another related concern is
with the proposed water depot
at Ray and the 13 mile corner,
whether there will be enough
water to supply the amount
needed by the four cities -given the tremendous growth
seen in the area.
“The water commission has
drafted a policy stating that domestic use always has priority
over industrial use,” said Kent
Bickler who is also a board
member of the WAWSA board.

completion date for all parts of
the project is October 1.
Dave Bauer, project engineer
for WAWSA’s industrial sales
water depot presented a plan
for a six stall truck water depot
immediately south of the currently unused R&T water depot, using the exiting entrance
of the highway.
The site would be able to
“stage” up to 30 waiting trucks
behind the six filling the stalls.
The depot, on an average day,
would fill about 300 trucks,
with up to 600 trucks on peak
days.
There may also be the ability
to sell heated water at the site.
The board’s main concern is
the incredible increase in traffic the project would bring as
well as the dangerous nature
of the traffic, crossing a busy
highway.
Bauer said he has talked to
the area DOT representative
and his typical comment has
been that the DOT waits until
a project is completed, then
monitors the traffic to justify
the need for changes.

Westby
counting
down to
2013 event
Prairie Fest 2012 will begin a
year of celebration in Westby,
in
anticipation and
preparation
for the
100th
anniversary
of the
town.
Those
on the
home
front are
gearing up for the festivities
and have a full day of events
scheduled to kick-off this year
of history making.
Prairie Fest falls on July
14 this year and begins with
the traditional Lion’s Club
breakfast beginning at 7 a.m.
Breakfast will be served at the
Community Center.
The Westby Gun Club will
host a trap shoot at their newly
completed facility at 10 a.m.
No pre-registration is required.
Beginning at 1 p.m., the
Lion’s Club will be calling bingo
under the big tent, carrying on
a long standing tradition with
the organization.
Several other events are
planned for the afternoon and
evening, for all ages.
The kid’s carnival will return
this year in the east fire hall at
2 p.m., followed immediately by
chuck-a-duck, which is a game
of chance in which the participants buy a duck with a number displayed on the bottom.
A bull’s eye is drawn, in this
case on the street, and at a designated hour the ducks are all
chucked at the same time. The
duck closest to the bull’s eye
wins a percent of the monies
collected from duck sales.
The afternoon version will be
for children only and an adult
competition is scheduled for
6:30 p.m.
At 5 p.m., the “Sliders, suds
and soda” competition doubles
as the evening meal.
Teams are forming to prepare
their idea of a winning slider
(a small appetizer sandwich).
To register a team or for more
information contact Jody at
406-390-0118 or Jodybednarczk@gmail.com.
For a fee, individuals are
given the opportunity to sample and vote for their favorite
slider.
The honor of wearing the
“champion slider team” hat has
sparked friendly competition
and challenges between teams
already, and promises to make
the evening enjoyable. Along
with the sliders, suds (beer)
and soda (pop) will be served.
The unveiling of many of the
planned 2013 Westby Centennial souvenirs will be held at Prairie Fest. Among the items will
be aprons, coats, caps, visors,
pottery mugs and etched wine
glasses, as well as travel mugs,
beverage glasses and totes.
For the convenience of locals, the registration committee
will be on hand to register any
and all who wish to attend the
2013 Centennial. Registration is
free, but is required for a meal
count.
The centennial fundraising
committee will be holding a
Chinese raffle in conjunction
with Prairie Fest. The Chinese
raffle has four prizes.
Upon purchase of a ticket
or tickets, the participant may
select the prize or prizes they
desire to win and apply the
tickets only to this award.
The prizes include: a California King crocheted bedspread
donated by John Tommerup;
$250 gas card donated by New
Century Ag; eight hours backhoe service donated by Pitt
Construction; and two loads
of gravel delivered and donated by Pitt Construction. The
drawing will be held during the
evening ball game.
To wrap things up an ”over
the hill” co-ed softball game
will be held at the Noelle Meyer
Baseball field with the action
beginning at 7 p.m. against a
team from Plentywood.
Plentywood man shot in altercation
after brandishing a gun in a casino
A man shot and killed early Saturday by a
Sheridan County, Montana deputy sheriff has
been identified as 27-year-old Bryan Reyes Havard.
According to a press release from Sheriff Patrick Ulrickson, Havard, an oil field worker from
Plentywood, led two deputies on a high speed
pursuit after the officers attempted a traffic
stop.
Havard then fled on foot into a casino near
Plentywood.
“He brandished a pistol and engaged the officers on several occasions, putting several pa-
trons inside and outside the casino at risk,” according to the release.
Havard was shot and killed near the main entrance of the casino.
Both officers involved in the incident have
been placed on administrative leave while the
matter is investigated by the state’s Division of
Criminal Investigation. An inquest will be held
in Sheridan County, following the conclusion of
that investigation.
Havard’s body was taken to Billings for an
autopsy but a toxicology report is not yet available.

Wooden trunk spans continents and generations
Auction brings family heirloom from
Germany to Fortuna descendants
By Cecile Krimm
Standing waist high and about five
feet long, with wrought iron handles
on either end, an ornate wooden
trunk recently landed in the hands
of descendants of its original owner,
defying all odds.
For what are the chances that a
possession crafted in 1848 and left
behind in Germany could be reunited
with Divide County descendants 164
years later?
“A lot of people don’t have keepsakes from even four or five generations ago,” said Jamie Wehrman,
Fortuna, who retrieved this family
heirloom.
Even more unlikely than reconnecting with a keepsake removed by so
much time, the woman at the center
of the tale is herself buried only about
an hour’s drive from the Rochester,
Minn., auction house where the heirloom surfaced for sale a few weeks
ago.
According to the auction manager
who handled the transaction, such an
occurrence is exceedingly rare, especially with a piece of furniture.
The fact this heirloom was personalized with the name “Dorothee
Wehrmann” and the date “1848,” gave
researchers some clues to go on in
finding her descendants, not to mention, some details about the trunk
itself.
“The name and date aren’t painted,
they’re inlaid,” said Graylen Becker of
John Kruesel’s Auction Company.
“We’ve never seen anything like
that,” he said, though trunks themselves are quite common.
“This kind of work was a master
craftsman,” said Becker, indicating
the owner’s family likely was affluent enough to commission the piece
rather than make it themselves.
Being able to connect the heirloom
with descendants was gratifying.
“It was really neat this time to find
someone keenly interested,” said
Becker, because when it comes to
other artifacts like photos or family
documents, indifference by ancestors
is, surprisingly, the more common
reaction.
Indeed, a granddaughter who inherited the trunk in Germany -- so the
story goes -- parted with it because
she wanted “modern” furniture.
Enter a couple from Rochester,
Minn., who was stationed in Germany
40 years ago while working for IBM.
They found the trunk in an antique
store near Stuttgart, and liked it so
much they shipped it home when
they returned to Rochester. When
the couple entered an assisted living
center recently, the trunk was one of
the items they decided to put up for
auction.
“Someone associated with them did
some research on Dorothee’s name,”
Becker said, which is how the trunk
ultimately was reunited with the Wehrman family near Fortuna.
Jamie Wehrman is Dorothee’s greatgreat-great grandson, according to genealogical research by other members
of the Wehrman clan.
Allan Wehrman, Ambrose, and
Joyce Ekness, Crosby, are among
other local descendants.
When Jamie received an email
showing photos of the trunk, along
with the documentation, “I just
thought ‘we gotta have that.’ It was
just weird to see something that old.”
Jamie already was familiar with the
story of these ancestors, having seen
the 1868 grave of Dorothee’s husband
in a rural cemetery near Prescott,
Wis., in 2006.
According to researchers, Dorothea Hilker Wehrman, her husband
“Christoff” and their son, Frederich,
Ryley Jean Wehrman, 3, daughter of Derek and Dani Wehrman and granddaughter of Kim (Wehrman) Nelson, all
of Williston, is the great-granddaughter of Wanda Wehrman, Fortuna, and the great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Dorothee Wehrman, whose ornate wooden trunk recently was reunited with the clan.
daughter Caroline and her husband,
all left Bremen, Germany on the ship
“Oblers” in April 1851. They landed
first at New Orleans, then continued
north to Prescott.
Becker doesn’t think it’s odd that
Dorothee would have left the trunk
behind when she immigrated to the
United States.
“I think it was probably too big and
too pretty,” he said. “A lot of times
trunks were used as shipping containers, but they certainly wouldn’t have
wanted to have nailed it shut.”
Divide County homesteader George
Frederick Wehrman was Dorothee’s
grandson. The homestead then
passed to G.F. “Mick” Wehrman,
whose grandson, Jamie, still lives at
that location, north of the Fortuna
radar station.
On May 20, one branch of the
Wehrman clan gathered at the farm to
stand in awe of the trunk, which Jamie
recently retrieved from Minnesota,
having won the bid on behalf of the
extended family.
“This is the house the descendants
came to,” Jamie said, so it was fitting
the reunion should take place there.
Even before the trunk made the
short trip by highway interstate with
him to the land Dorothee’s descendants helped to settle, Jamie said,
“This trunk had come full circle (to
Rochester) and ended up 65 miles
from where she’s buried. It’s crazy.”
That the trunk survived two world
wars in Germany, alone, is pretty
astounding.
“Just to come back to the family
after that long, it’s pretty amazing,” he
said. “And it’s beautiful. It’s all handmade and in great shape.”
Someday he has hopes of obtaining photographs of these ancestors,
or possibly, visiting the area near the
Black Forest, where they originated.
Five from DC to compete in Shrine Bowl
By Megan Reberg
Five Crosby athletes and
one coach will participate in
the 38th annual North Dakota
Shrine Bowl. That’s the highest number of participants ever
from Divide County, according
to Maroons Football Co-coach
Nate Nelson.
Morgan Jacobs, Ladd Simonson, Taylor Wigginton, Trevor
Binde, and Andreas Holm will
play in the game. Nelson will be
one of the assistant coaches for
the West team.
Teams reported for practice
Monday at Mayville State University.
The 9-man game will be
played at 7 p.m., Saturday, July
14 at Fargo Shanley High School.
For the first time, all four
teams, east and west 9-man and
11-man, will be housed at the
same site. Teams will travel to
the Shrine Hospital in the Twin
Cities on Wednesday and have a
banquet Saturday in Fargo.
The game can be seen on BEK
TV -- channel 24 -- at 7 p.m.
CITY: Looking at how to
spend oil impact funds
(Continued from Page 1)
Street signs will be changed
to “No truck parking.”
Capital improvement plan
The council had a lengthy
discussion on the projects that
need to be considered when using recently awarded oil impact
funds of $4.1 million.
Projects include extending
a 12-inch water line from the
Grow Crosby connection to
Eighth Avenue Southwest; extending the water line across ND
5 along Eighth Avenue to Main
Street; extending a sanitary
sewer line to the Grow Crosby
connection; construction of a
frontage road along ND 5 within
the Southridge Acres property;
replacing a water main on Main
Street; constructing a 500,000
gallon water tower; expanding
the sanitary sewer lagoon; and
a fairground lift station.
Preliminary engineering for
each project will be discussed
in August.
In other business:
The council discussed extra-long bed pickup trucks making it hard to drive down Main
Street without crossing the recently painted center lines.
Considered placing mobile
radar signs to inform drivers
of their speed as a possible
deterrent to speeding in town.
The council could buy one for
$6,500 or try one temporarily.
The swimming pool opened
June 29. Workers were hired for
a shortened season at a higher
rate to make up for the month
they were on standby.
FLBA members attending the National Leadership Conference were (L to R) Andrea Haugland, Lance Knudson, Morgan Jacobs, Ethan

DC FBLA is hot at national conference
By Megan Reberg
Eleven Divide County FBLA members
were welcomed to Texas for the 70th
annual National Leadership Conference
earlier this month.
Members and advisers from across
the nation traveled to San Antonio to
compete, serve as local chapter voting
delegates, and attend workshops.
The events were competitive with
100 to 150 members competing in each
category. Still, Divide County members
Bennett Lystad and Billie Windfaldet
came home with national awards.
Lystad received tenth place in the
Virtual Business Challenge, received
his America Achievement Level at the
Mountain Plains Awards and Recognition Program and is now tied for the
record in Divide County for receiving the
most national awards in a high school
career.
Lystad had won an award in Word Processing I and Virtual Business Challenge
in past years. He is tied with Maria (Enerson) Toomey for placing three times in
national events.
Windfaldet also brought home a
national award. She took third in Word
Processing I.
Windfaldet and Lystad won two of the
seven national awards given to North
Dakotans.
Membership Mania Award recipients
were Lystad, Morgan Jacobs and Lexie
Unhjem.
FBLA members who attended were
Jacobs, Madison Wigness, Unhjem,
Windfaldet, Gabi Wigness, Lystad, Noah
Knudson, Haley Lund, Ethan Feil, Lance
Knudson, and Andrea Haugland.
Other regional chapter awards received were Outstanding Local Chapter
Award and first place for Local Chapter
Professional Membership, although
Divide County missed out on the overall
national award for professional membership by just one member.
FBLA members had time to visit Sea
World and The Alamo during their trip,
June 29 to July 2.
DAYCARE: Some find it easier not to work outside the home
(Continued from Page 1)
With limited space she said
she has had to turn people
down.
“I turn down two to three
phone calls every week from
parents that are in need of day
care,” Johnson said. “Mostly because I have no room.”
It’s easy to say the two day
cares in town need to expand,
but expanding comes with concerns.
“At one time I thought of
finding a building to start a bigger day care, but don’t know if
I could manage the expenses
plus find help,” Johnson said.
Marschner has similar concerns in upgrading her license
from a group to a center. “We
can go bigger and take more
kids but we have to have the
staff, too,” she said.
A center allows for 19 or
more children to be taken in if
the facility meets certain specifications. The director must
also reach certain educational
requirements.
The lack of day care has had
a trickle-down effect across the
community. From families trying to find care for their children
throughout the week to businesses having to deal with employees who don’t always have
child care, it’s been a strain on
both parties.
“I wish we would have three
or four day cares,” said Jon
Stone, who is an Administrator
at the Good Samaritan Center.
“We’ve had troubles hiring.”
Hiring employees is already
difficult with the housing situation, but if the prospective employee has younger children it
creates two problems that have
deterred candidates from coming to the area.
The lack of day care has also
meant some employees have
had to leave jobs in their entirety.
“It’s affected us immensely
by not only hiring but by retention,” said Director of Nursing at
Good Sam Amy Larsen. “We’ve
had people in this position have
to quit because they don’t have
an alternative option.”
Good Sam tries to schedule its employees around what
works for them and their fami-
lies, but at the end of the day
there is a facility that has to be
run.
There are currently 89 employees at Good Sam, and in the
fall there is going to be a need
for six new employees according to Amy Shaw, who does Resource Development at Good
Sam.
Kris Johnson, the human
resource representative at St.
Luke’s Hospital also has had to
deal with day care issues there.
“It’s harder for the director of
nursing to make out schedules.
Unfortunately they have to find
day care or someone to trade
shifts,” she said.
There has been interest expressed internally for a daycare at the hospital, although
Administrator Les Urvand said
he can’t see it happening at the
moment.
“A few of the people would
like one to open up here,” said
Johnson. “Where to put that
and where to get workers to run
it is a problem.”
Stone said similar sentiments
regarding Good Sam potentially
putting in a day care.
“Building it and staffing it” are
the biggest issues and it isn’t in
the plans of the facility going
forward.
Families who are already in
the area have the tough decision of whether or not it is feasible to start a family or add to
it right now.
Shaw, who has one child and
has another on the way is al-
ready on the waiting list for daycare. She said if it’s still a crisis
like now they’d have to wait to
have more children in the future.
“It’s sad you have to put
something on hold like that,”
Larsen responded, in regard to
Shaw’s comments.
Nicole Johnson, who is the
Social Worker at Good Sam and
has two kids in day care, is of
the belief that at some point it
may just be easier for some parents not to work, because of the
expenses and difficulty in finding day care.
“I think people get to the
point where it’s not financially
worth it to work,” she said.

LONG RANGE PLANNING
MEETING – June 28, 2012
President Fagerbakke called
the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
with Bakewell, Brodal, Busch,
Haugland, Johnson and Lystad
present and Feil absent. Others
present were Superintendent
Townsend, Stephanie Reistad,
Dr. Sherlock Hirning and the
business manager.
The purpose of the meeting
was to discuss a long-term planning process addressing the effects that demographics might
have on the district in the ensuing 3-5 years, review trends, and
offer recommendations.
Superintendent
Townsend
reviewed the 3 and 5 Year Planning Documents which summarized staff, state assessment
results, enrollment, finance, and
facilities information from the
past and also future expectations. Comments included:
-Currently the district is required to hire highly qualified
teachers.
-Enrollment wasn’t projected
for 3-5 years, as the current oil
boom makes it very difficult
to project what may occur in
regard to increases in enrollment.
-It has been said that a proposed housing and business
development south of Crosby
is expected to include up to 350
new housing units which could
increase the population of Crosby by 600-700 people.
-Crosby Meadows could increase enrollment in the shortterm.
-Potentially, enrollment could
grow at a similar pace as the
last year, which was a 37% increase.
-Availability of housing will
dictate the pace of growth. It
is not expected that enrollment
will decrease.
-Sufficient teaching positions
are, and have been, put into
place to handle more growth.
-The elementary school had
been discussing the possibility
of closing off the upper floor
three years ago and currently it
is at nearly 100% capacity.
Anticipated Effects of Demographic Changes on:
-Academic and extracurricular programs: Programs do not
have to be eliminated and new
positions include FT English,
FCS and Physical Education at
the high school and expanded
Special Education services at
the elementary school.
-Instructional and administrative staffing: New positions
were hired for 2012-2013 and
should remain at a constant
through limited growth.
-Facility needs and utilization: Buildings are nearing capacity but some growth can be
absorbed.
-District Tax levies: - Mill levies may need to increase to help
bring wages in line with living
costs.
-Student Achievement: Goals
have been set high with new
programs and assessments are
being used to meet AYP.
Plans of Action to Address
the Effects of Demographic
Change on:
-Academic and extracurricular programs:
District must
maintain funding and staffing
levels and to work with available programs to meet students’
needs.
-Instructional and administrative staffing: If high growth
resulted in the need to build
a middle school then staffing
would be affected due to middle school endorsements required.
-Facility needs and utilization:
If dramatic increase to enrollment occurred then building a
middle school to house grades
6-8 could be considered. If full
development becomes a reality in south Crosby then facility
expansion may be necessary
through the use of modular
classrooms or new building.
-District tax levies: Mill levies
will be increasing. It is possible
that financing changes will occur in oil revenue funding methods.
-Student Achievement: Setting high goals of being proficient will continue. Attendance
needs to be addressed. Better
attendance will increase student achievement.
Other discussion topics included:
-The benefits of growth.
-Work load increases for staff
due to growth.
-Possible new legislation
dealing with schools in regards
to real estate and housing issues.
-Request to offer more English
and Communication courses.
-Learned that the Lela Andrist
Room could be converted back
to a classroom if needed.
-Some roof repair is needed at
the high school and the furnace
there has been repaired so that
it should run more efficiently.
-Additional methods of advertisement should be utilized to
announce the need for parents
to register their children with
the school as early as possible
rather than waiting until the
school year starts.
Moved by Haugland to adjourn. Meeting adjourned.

North Central Research
Extension Center Field Tour
Corn, soybean and sunflower
production issues will be featured
topics at the annual field tour at North
Dakota State University’s North Central Research Extension Center near
Minot on July 18. The tour will begin
at 9 a.m. Eric Eriksmoen, the center’s
new research agronomist, will host the
tour.
“This year’s tour will be quite different than what we’ve had in the past,”
Eriksmoen says. “We’re teaming up
with experts from both NDSU and the
ag industry to provide farmers with a
comprehensive discussion on issues
relating to corn, soybean and sunflower production.”
In addition, the field day event will
include a crop pest diagnostic clinic,
and the NDSU Extension Service is
providing a water screening service.
Farmers are encouraged to bring
plant samples. Producers will have
an opportunity to have one-on-one
consultations with experts on weed,
insect and disease control issues.
Homeowners and gardeners also can
use this free diagnostic service to help
identify weed and insect problems.
The free water screening service is
designed to provide private well users
with an analysis of water quality for
irrigation, livestock and human consumption. Anyone interested in the
free screening should bring a sample
with 15 to 20 ounces of water in a
clean plastic bottle.
All field tour events are free and
open to the public. The North Central
Research Extension Center is one mile
south of Minot on U.S. Highway 83.
Lettuce is a quick and easy idea during hot summer months
If you are looking for an alternative
to turning on the stove during these
hot summer months, try having a
fresh, crisp lettuce salad.
The robust and intense flavors of
lettuce make it a popular choice during the summertime because it is in
season, inexpensive and easy to prepare. Many varieties flourish in home
gardens.
If you have not shopped for lettuce
in awhile, don’t be alarmed when you
get to the supermarket and find more
than just a head of iceberg lettuce
available. Lettuce comes in many
different varieties that can appeal
to a wide range of individuals. You
probably will find a large selection of
arugula, bibb, butter/Boston, iceberg,
mesclun, romaine and spinach. Most
can be found during the summer, but
many varieties also are available yearround.

The Range

According to current nutrition
recommendations, most people
should try to eat 2 to 3 cups of vegetables each day. One cup of leafy
greens counts for ½ cup of vegetables,
whereas 1 cup of cooked spinach will
count as 1 cup of vegetables.
To select the freshest lettuce at
your local grocery store or farmers
market, look for crisp, bright green
leaves that do not show signs of being
wilted or discolored. Leafy greens
should be used within a couple of
days of purchase, whereas head let-
tuce such as iceberg, if stored properly in the refrigerator, can be eaten
for up to a week.
Eating a salad before your main
dish, or even better, as the main
course, can help you reach your goal
of meeting the daily recommended intake of vegetables. To make salad the
main course, just add a little protein
such as beans, chicken or beef.
In addition to having lettuce salads,
try including lettuce in sandwiches or
wraps, on burgers, or by using lettuce
as a serving vessel for fish or seafood
salad.
If you are looking for a change, you
could try pairing different types of lettuce for more texture and the added
benefit of having a wider variety of
nutrients. For more diversity, try spicy
arugula with romaine or spinach.
Looking for more of a crunch in
your salad? Try a combination of ice-
berg with romaine. Some leafy greens
also can withstand different cooking
preparations, so they can be put into
soups, steamed or grilled.
Lettuce can be flavorful and easy on
the pocketbook while packing a punch
of vitamins and minerals. The more
vibrant green the lettuce leaf is, the
more nutrients it will provide.
Having a variety of leafy greens in
the diet can provide important nutrients that have been shown to reduce
the risk of heart disease, including
heart attack and stroke. Vegetables,
such as leafy greens, also could help
prevent cancer and fight obesity.
Spinach, in particular, is high in
potassium, which can help maintain
a healthy blood pressure. Because
lettuce is naturally low in calories, it
also can help reduce your total calorie
intake throughout the day.
When incorporating lettuce into
meals, remember these basic food
safety techniques to prevent illness:
•
Make sure to wash your hands
before any food preparation.
•
Rinse lettuce with cool, running water prior to eating. A salad
spinner is a low-cost tool that can
help dry lettuce leaves. Or just dry the
leaves with some paper towels.
•
Use separate knives and cutting boards when preparing raw meat
and ready-to-eat foods to prevent
cross-contamination.
With these tips and suggestions, incorporating lettuce into weekly meals
can be a snap.

History: The Farm Credit System was chartered by
Congress in 1916 under the Federal Farm Loan Act
signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. In 1985
the Federal Land Bank Association of Minot merged with
the Federal Land Bank of Williston to form the FLBA of
northwest North Dakota. In December 1998 the Board of
Directors signed a resolution changing the name of the
Association to “Farm Credit Services of North Dakota.”
Farm Credit Services of North Dakota, ACA, is a locally
owned cooperative that provides short, intermediate and
long-term credit to farmers, ranchers and ag-related
businesses. We also offer life and disability insurance,
crop-hail insurance, multi-peril crop insurance, real
estate fee appraisals and expertise in estate planning.
FCS of ND’s chartered territory covers 17 counties and
approximately 20,000 square miles in northwest North
Dakota.
What do you like best about doing business in
Divide County?
It gives our staff the opportunity to work with neighbors
and friends as well as meet and welcome new people
to the community. It’s a privilege working for and with all
the hard-working farm and ranch men and women who
make us feel like part of the community.
What is one thing that you would like people to
know about your business?
That we deal with farmers, ranchers and ag-related
businesses. And not only do we offer agricultural
lending but we also specialize in hail and multi-peril crop
insurance and are truly here to serve the agricultural
community.

What is the most satisfying part of your business?
We hope to help alleviate the stress and concern that
comes with farming and ranching by providing loans to
assist them financially, but also risk management tools
like crop insurance for peace of mind and to protect their
investment.
Describe one little known thing about your
business:
Anyone familiar with Farm Credit Services or who
has even seen an advertisement has probably seen
the “PAT-NOW” logo, but they may not know what it’s all
about. PAT-NOW is Farm Credit’s pledge to its customers.
One of the basic cooperative principles is that members
receive benefits based on their use of the cooperative’s
services. Therefore, the more business you do with FSC
of ND, the more opportunity we have to lower rates to
our customers. It is your patronage - NOW!
Please provide any other information you feel
appropriate to include:
Farm Credit Services supports the local communities
in which we do business. We not only strongly support
youth programs like FFA and 4H, but we also support
academic and athletic events in the schools as well as
local community festivals and fundraisers.
FCS of ND is an equal opportunity provider and
employer.
