New physician coming to Crosby after losing Minot home to flood
By Cecile Wehrman
The flood in Minot, the availability of
housing for a physician and Crosby’s
hockey program all came into play in
the decision of Dr. Philip Sedo to sign
a contract with St. Luke’s Hospital and
the Crosby Clinic.
“We’ll have two experienced doctors,” said Les Urvand, hospital administrator, as well as an abbreviated
recruitment drive now that Sedo is
joining the staff.
The hospital began looking for a
physician about four months ago,
when Dr. Ivan Tsutskiridze announced
his intention to return to his homeland
of Georgia.
Tsutskiridze’s departure would have
I need a house to live in and
you need a doctor, so it s a winwin.
-- Dr. Philip Sedo
left the hospital with only one physician, Dr. Patrick Evans.
Now, Sedo plans to arrive even before Tsutskiridze leaves in September,
bringing with him his wife, Jean, and
two grandchildren.
The family was displaced by the
flood in Minot.
“My house was completely destroyed,” said Sedo, but he was familiar with Crosby, having provided cov-
erage to the hospital as a locum tenens
physician one weekend each month
for about three years, up until about a
year ago.
“I knew Dr. Ivan was going to leave
and I knew the foundation had a house
for a doctor,” said Sedo. “I need a house
to live in and you need a doctor, so it’s
a win-win.
“I’m very fortunate I have a marketable profession,” Sedo said, given the
situation with housing throughout the
region, and the number of people currently displaced.
However, his familiarity with Crosby’s hockey program also played a big
role in his decision to come to Divide
County.
“That’s an important recruitment
tool,” he said.
“I am a big hockey enthusiast. I’m
very familiar with Crosby hockey. I
would not stay in Crosby for a long
time if it were not for the hockey arena.”
Sedo also enjoys curling, so the
prospect of a brand new health and
wellness center is a big draw, as is the
renovated hospital with clinic soon to
be moved under the same roof.
That’s the layout in Rugby, the hospital for which Sedo provides locum
tenens coverage now.
“It makes life a lot easier,” he said,
when you can come and go from hospital to clinic without driving.
Sedo, a general practitioner, has
spent his entire medical career in
North Dakota.
The Manitoba native graduated
from the University of Kansas Medical
School in Kansas City and had his first
job at what was then St. Luke’s Hospital in Fargo.
He has been commuting to the
Towner Clinic the past couple of years,
from his home in Minot, in addition to
his work at the hospital in Rugby.
His wife, Jean, is a registered nurse,
but she does not plan to resume her
career.
They bring with them a junior high
boy and a girl who is in elementary
school.

Benjamin Galbraith, son of Kathy Tysse Galbraith and grandson of John Tysse Jr., patriarch of the Divide County Threshing Show, has fun
on antique tractors being readied for this weekend s event.
Threshing Show provides blast from past
By Jared Gilmour
The 42nd Annual Divide County Threshing Show will showcase the past at Crosby’s Pioneer Village this weekend.
“You can learn a lot from the past,” said
Tabitha Jozwiak, president of the Divide
County Historical Society.
Although steam threshers and tractors
are the focus of the bee – there will be
more than 100 on hand – attractions ranging from parades, to dances, to raffles, offer up something for everyone during the
three-day show.
“I hope people find something interesting and go home and tell someone else to
get more people interested,” Jozwiak said.
The festivities begin Friday with the
annual Tractor-cade, which drives from
Noonan to Crosby. All are invited to participate or watch.
Two more parades take place on the
grounds Saturday and Sunday. Vintage
cars, tractors, horses and more are featured each day at 1 p.m. on the Main Street
of Pioneer Village.
Old-time threshing will be demonstrated
on the north hill following the parades.
This year, “We have quite a few new ex-
New book is set at Divide County
Threshing Show ......................Page 12
hibits,” Jozwiak said, including an antique
and collectible gun display.
For those who prefer horse power to
steam power, free horse drawn bus rides
will be offered. Attendees can also visit the
horses at the red barn next to the Livery
building. Old-time plowing with horses will
be featured, too.
Marilyn Marmanger, a Laura Ingalls
Wilder portrayer, will be at the bee to
share stories during her “I Love Laura”
presentation. Times for this event will be
announced each day.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy the farm
toy show Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Sunday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
When looking at farm toys gets old, beegoers can head over to the antique and
classic car show to check out some real
vehicles. Cars will be on display Saturday
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“There are four or five new antique cars”
this year, Jozwiak said. One of the cars that
is new to the show is the very rare 1910
Stanley Steamer.
There will be a talent show in the vening
followed by a dance.
Many additional attractions will be featured – from the Bradley saw mill to the
old blacksmith shop.
Pioneer Village itself will be on display,
showcasing 22 restored historic buildings
filled with photographs and memorabilia.
A 5k run/walk will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday.
An antique flea market will span all three
days, as will the food served at the lunch
room and from concessionaires.
Sunday morning at 9 a.m. a village
church service will be held in the historic
Pioneer Village’s Daneville Church.
Later Sunday, an antique and collectible
auction will take place at 4 p.m.
There will be plenty of activities targeted at kids. Money in the straw, a pedal
tractor pull and games are just some of the
events offered for children.
Thirty campsites, with water and electricity, are available for $10 per night.
More information can be found at dcthreshingbee.com.

A 10 percent decline in income at the Crosby Country
Club golf course is compounding flooding damages due to
trees, bridges, greens and the
irrigation system.
The drop in golf course income follows off-and-on closures in the last two months
due to flooding. Inundated with
water multiple times this spring
in the wake of record precipitation, the golf course is still recovering. But it is now open.
Country Club President Bob
Svangstu said membership levels and the number of greens
fees have taken a big hit, contributing to the lower income.
Income from memberships
has fallen 17 percent from
where it stood last year at this
time, and income from green
fees has plummeted 61 percent.
The relative success of the
clubhouse, where income is up
from last year, is tempering the
golf course’s losses.
The clubhouse’s restaurant
and bar are flourishing this
year, with food income up 25
percent and the bar’s income
up 30 percent.
The clubhouse was generally
open throughout the flooding,
board member Wayne Lervick
said, even when the course itself was forced to close.
“We have been golfing, but
every time it flooded, we quit,”
Svangstu said.
With the course open again
and repairs under way, the
country club is requesting
FEMA aid to help cover the cost
of recovery, but it won’t make
up for lost business.
The loss of Canadian traffic
hits especially hard. With the
main road shut down due to
flooding, those golfers couldn’t
even get to the course.
“The bridge is out,” Svangstu said two weeks ago, but has
since been repaired.
Golfer Theron Huwe said
last week the golf course was
already in much better shape
than earlier this year.
The wetness is largely gone,
but in its place golfers can
expect to find tall grass and
parched land, which cannot be
watered until the irrigation system is fixed.
Online video
A condensed, video version
of this story appears on line at
www.journaltrib.com. In the future, The Journal expects to post
at least one video story to the
web site each week.
The cart bridge across Long
Creek at hole number 3 is no
longer under water.
Lervick said the south side of
the golf course near the creek is
in the worst shape.
Clubhouse Manager Kate
Langley said the water levels
on the course have “improved
drastically.”
Holes seven and nine were
most affected by the flooding.
Along with holes three and five,
seven and nine are the holes
that usually go underwater during wet periods.
To help hole nine dry, a temporary hole was put in place
two weeks ago.
Langley said dead trees and
branches need to be cleared
and the irrigation system needs
to be repaired.
Svangstu is hopeful that
FEMA aid will come through ith
assistance.
“I’ve made the application
with them,” he said. “They’re
going to contact us.”
New kids asked to register
‘Oil Can!’ comes to Crosby
Hoping to get a handle on how many new students
will be coming into local schools, the Divide County
School District has scheduled early registration times.
Early registration times have been set this week for
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon Friday at
the elementary school.
“We’ve seen a lot of new kids around town,” said Superintendent Ryan Townsend, and knowing who they
are will help plan for the upcoming school year.
Anyone can register during the early sessions, but
Townsend particularly encourages students who are
new to the district to attend.
Though not required, Townsend said it would be
helpful for students to bring immunization, birth and
school records with them when they register for the
next school year.
Free food and lots of information about the area’s oil patch will
be highlighted at an event Tuesday, July 26 at Pioneer Village.
The Oil Can! Cookfest is sponsored by the
North Dakota Petroleum Council.
“‘Oil Can!’ is an effort we put together to
really get out and engage and educate the
public,” said Ron Ness, NDPC director.
A “Bakken Basics” educational session
will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. featuring a variety of oil field experts.
Then, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., eight grill
teams, pairing oil field service and exploration companies, will provide a variety of
foods and experiences at their stations.
Entertainment, give-aways, educational booths, a rock climbing
wall and kids events continue all evening. There is no charge.

Yet another story delivers a blunt kick to the gut
Alcohol abuse still a
prime contributor to
many sad tragedies
Sometimes a news story turns your
gut inside out.
When you’re a reporter, you’re
supposed to stay at arms length, unattached from a story, objective.
But the gut never lies.
I’ll never forget the first time that
happened on my beat as a young cub
reporter at the Bismarck Tribune.
It was the summer of 1976 when
Wade and Ellen Zick were abducted
from their home in sleepy Zeeland,
N.D., a town along the South Dakota
border not far from Lawrence Welk’s
home town of Strasburg.
Wade Zick was the town banker,
Ellen the church organist and Sunday
school teacher.
Three young men took the Zicks at
gunpoint from their home to the bank,
and forced Wade Zick to open the
Passing
Dreams
By Steve Andrist
bank doors so they could rob it.
The three suspects then took the
Zicks to a secluded spot near town.
One of them shot and killed Wade Zick
while his wife watched. Another then
snuffed out her life.
No one in town knew anything was
wrong until the next morning, when
the Zicks didn’t show up for church.
Some weeks later, one of the suspects, without noticeable emotion,
recounted the whole gruesome story
during a hearing in U.S. District Judge
Bruce Van Sickle’s courtroom.
Then came Van Sickle’s haunting,
unforgettable words. He looked the defendant square in the eye and stated
emphatically that he could see no
hope of the young man ever function-
ing appropriately in our society.
“I sentence you to life in prison
with the recommendation that you
never be parolled.”
Never be parolled.
Saturday night, after celebrating a
wedding in Minot and driving home
on an absolutely gorgeous summer
evening, we turned on the 10 o’clock
news only to sustain another blunt
kick to the gut.
Bismarck Police Sgt. Steven Kenner
had been gunned down while responding to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The 32-year veteran of the Bismarck
Police Department was pronounced
dead at a local hospital.
The 52-year-old suspect had been
drinking, and reportedly became
angry when someone knocked on the
door. He threatened to slit the throat
of a woman at the home.
When officers arrived, the suspect
was sitting in a van. He shot Kenner,
and another officer returned fired and
incapacitiated the suspect.
Law enforcement officers every-
where will tell you “domestics” are
among the most potentially dangerous
types of calls they receive.
Emotions are always running high,
and in most cases alcohol is responsible for removing inhibitions and replacing them with chemical bravado.
Though suspected, I don’t recall direct evident that alcohol contributed
to the Zicks’ deaths.
It clearly was a factor in Bismarck
last weekend and according to the
the U.S. Justice Department, alcohol
abuse is a factor in at least 40 percent
of the violent crimes committed in the
United States.
Two-thirds of the country’s domestic violence reports involve the use or
abuse of alcohol.
There are well over a million arrests
for drunk driving every year, and
some 40,000 people die every year in
alcohol-related car crashes.
The Centers for Disease Control
reports that alcohol abuse is the third
leading cause of preventable death in
the country, only behind smoking and
poor eating and exercise habits.
In my own neighborhood in quiet
northwestern North Dakota we were
awakened sometime after 2 a.m.
Sunday by the sounds of a man and a
woman yelling at each other.
It’s not much of a stretch under
those circumstances to assume that
alcohol was involved.
By no means is alcohol always a
problem. At Saturday’s wedding, many
of us celebrated with a cold one or
two and a couple toasts to the bride
and groom.
The trouble is, when there is
trouble, it’s a good bet alcohol abuse
is partly to blame.
When will that kick us in the gut
enough to do something about it?
When a million-plus people a year
get picked up for DUI? Apparently not.
When 40,000 people a year die in
car crashes? Apparently not.
When two-thirds of domestic violence cases involve false bravado? Not
yet.
How about when Steve Kenner
takes a bullet from a drunk?
God rest his soul.
Not my backyard, but waste,
blight must go somewhere
“Not in my backyard!”
It’s true. No one likes to have anything in
their backyard, except for their dog, their flowers, their grass and their grill. Nobody wants
that new waste processing plant next to their
lawn.
With the continued growth in northwestern
North Dakota, more of these facilities are being
built, and more often they are threatening our
tranquil patch of land.
Public meetings are for ensuring those
blights are built somewhere else. Industrial
tycoons need to know if residents’ health and
well-being will be affected by that new landfill,
and often the best people to tell them are the
neighbors themselves.
Problems exist with the way developers
distribute information to residents. Current
laws don’t require builders to inform more than
a handful of residents. Neighbors rally, however, and inform the rest of the community, and
meetings are always open to the public.
The acronym NIMBY was first used in a November 1980 Christian Science Monitor article
about new EPA restrictions on the disposal of
hazardous waste. In somewhat glowing terms,
the writer, Emilie Livezey, describes the progress industry has made in disposing of hazardous waste more safely and in a way that is
better for the environment.
Toward the end of the article, Livezey slips
into a more editorial mode. No matter how well
we figure out how to dispose of waste, there
will always be a little something left over from
industrial production, she says. We all want the
benefits of industry, but none of us want to deal
with the waste.
We are the consumers, Livezey says, that
demand the very products that produce the
waste. In the end, hazardous waste is the fault
of each and every one of us.
It makes me bristle to think that I am somehow at fault for every industrial pollutant and
accident -- from the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill of 2010 that released 4.9 million barrels of
oil, to the multiple spills this past spring here
in the North Dakota oil patch, to the leaking,
moldering landfill.
I didn’t do anything. I wasn’t careless. I didn’t
build the equipment. I don’t operate the rigs. I
didn’t sloppily build that landfill barrier. I’m not
lining the pockets of industry executives.
Or am I?
Every day, I drive about six blocks to work
when I could easily walk. Every day, I buy and
then trash another plastic bottle -- a petroleum
Something Else

product. Every day, I, like every American, produce 4.3 pounds of trash that must be hauled
in a gas-slurping truck to sit in a landfill, or be
incinerated. Waste.
I demand that industry produce convenient
things for me, and then I complain when they
put the byproduct near me.
Of course, I wouldn’t want to give up these
conveniences, these pleasures of life that make
living in a rich country like America such a
blessing. And there are assuredly other places
we can dump that excess waste, other than my
backyard, so I’ll fight.
I’m well-informed. I have the time and the
wherewithal to attend a public meeting, make a
stand, support my argument, and speak loudly
enough so that somebody will listen to me.
The voiceless, however, don’t speak. Some
people were born into a situation where they
don’t have the words to use, or the influence to
wield, or the time to spend researching. These
people may have been raised in an educational
system that did not teach them their personal
civic responsibility, or that they have the right
to speak out when they are threatened.
In the end, the waste will go somewhere,
because it’s not going away. Wherever it goes,
however, will depend on who protests the loudest.
The problem of waste has no easy solution,
and it’s not right to disregard the effects certain
facilities will have on the people they are built
near. There is invariably room for a better solution, and for that we should continue to strive.
But it’s important to remember that though
we didn’t ask for an ugly new plant to be built
here, next door, we did ask for it to be built
somewhere. Even though we didn’t ask to be
inextricably part of a society that lives and consumes the way it does, we perpetuate a lifestyle
that most likely uses more than it needs.
While we resist the location of that new
plant that infringes upon our right to a healthy,
pollutant-free existence, let us also remember
that our lifestyle demands it.

Headlines in History
is an awesome read
By Terry De Long, Fargo
I finally got a copy of
Letter to
“Headlines in History” and
I’ve been reading it the last
the Editor
few months.
It has caught me up on
a lot of things since I left
Divide County in 1977.
It is an awesome piece of journalism. It is a
fantastic book to read.
Summer gatherings are to be cherished
There are many things to like
about summer in North Dakota
-- particularly when it’s summer
weather like we’ve had for the past
two or three weeks.
One of them is reunions. Class
and school reunions, familly reunions, community reunions.
They happen during county
fairs, at 4th of July celebrations and
threshing bees.
Older people, in particular, seem
to treasure these get-togethers, and
I’m making plans for family time
myself, as you read this.
One of the reunions I will never
forget was the last big hurrah for
Ambrose some 35 years ago.
There wasn’t much left of the
town, even at that time, but they
had one fairly large building that
had a colorful history as an implement dealership.
They did a miraculous job of
cleaning up the place, filling it with
banquet tables and chairs, and all
the decorations that go with it.
Perhaps what made it so very
special was the sense of realization
that this could never happen again.
It was like a funeral for their beautiful little city and they wanted it to
be a proper burial.
John-aDreams
By John M. Andrist
Their school closed and gradually deteriorating, their main street
almost totally burned out, their
people scattered all over the world.
But this family gathered together,
enjoying each other immensely,
celebrating a reunion while also
paying respect to a dying heritage.
A few years later Crosby held
an all-school reunion that had 700
registered for the banquet. That’s
a heck of a lot of people to provide
for in a little town.
I remember searching the crowd
for old acquaintances from my
childhood. In particular I wanted to
find the guy who locked me in his
cave and stuck my friend in a garbage can when we were boys, giving
us our first taste of unforgettable
terror. And the guy I so admired because he could get a whole slice of
bread in his mouth in one bite back
in that old, cold, school lunchroom.
And the fellow who knocked a tooth
out, jumping from a fire escape into
a snow bank from the first landing
of that old red school building, his
knee crashing into his chin in the
process.
When you are a boy, every upper
classman who is a star athlete becomes a hero -- even the ones who
aren’t star athletes for that matter.
This will be the summer of my
80th birthday, and it just occurred
to me that most of those old heroes
have passed on, or at the very least
are too old and frail to visualize as
heroes.
We’ve seen the good old days of
small towns, most of which now
have been stripped of people and
structure.
And now we have seen some of
the revitalization and repopulation of many of those small towns
because of the Bakken boom.
But the new people are mostly
strangers, or at least folks who
don’t have generational roots that
are the seeds of reunions.
New growth doesn’t mean a
return to historical roots. So I guess
we just have to keep building new
traditions.
You can t tax the dead
They call it the death tax.
That’s kind of funny. There is no
way you can tax a dead person.
They like the name because they
hate inheritance taxes, and death
tax makes it sound sort of macabre.
Truth is, it is easy to make a case
for some inheritance taxes. It does
not take money from the dead. It
takes it from heirs and others who
are getting it with no sweat from
their own brow.
If it’s okay for the government
to tax the money I earn with hard
work, and the property I have
acquired, and the money I spend
in the market place, is it wrong to
tax the money I get for absolutely
nothing?
Mind you, it is most certainly
desirable to provide substantial
exemptions from an estate tax,
perhaps at least a couple million,
maybe even more.
But there is some need in every
society for wealth redistribution.
A reasonable estate tax that is not
punitive is a just place to start.
We have no way to control our
number of days; our wealth also is a
thing not to be totally kept.

Ole Holm
Ole R. Holm, 89, a longtime
Appam, N.D., resident passed
away Friday morning, July 8,
2011, at his home.
His funeral service was celebrated July 12, 2011 at Calvary
Lutheran Church in Alamo. Rev.
Daniel Paulson officiated and
interment followed in Bethany
Cemetery, Appam.
Ole Rudolph Holm was born
Feb. 13, 1922 on the family home
place near Appam. He was the
son of Oliver P. Holm, Sr. and
Mathilda (Erickson) Holm. He
was raised on the family homestead, attended schools in Appam and Alamo and graduated
from Alamo High School with the
Class of 1941.
On November 24, 1945, Ole
was united in marriage with Margaret Vera Gilbert in Plentywood,
Mont. One of the highlight of
his life was marrying Margaret.
They had over sixty-five years
together on the farm north of
Appam, while raising their eight
kids. He was a great teacher for
his kids with his quiet demeanor
and the ability to let them fail if
that’s what it took to learn.
As a lifelong farmer, Ole raised
cattle, horses, pigs, chickens,
and grains.
Another highlight in his life
happened in February of 1948
when his brother Bill and family
Ole Holm
got their vehicle stuck during a
snowstorm. Ole was able to find
them with his team of horses and
sleigh and bring them to safety.
He served on both the Elmgren and Alamo School Boards.
Ole was a big supporter of the
Alamo School and activities,
especially the basketball games,
never missing one while he had
kids playing. Sometimes the milk
cows had to wait a little longer
than they wanted because of
away basketball games. However, none of Ole’s animals ever
went hungry.
Ole had a great love of horses

the potluck supper, visiting, and
then attending the fireworks at
the ball diamond later in the
evening. The display began with
the children, and teenagers participating in firing a collection
of fireworks first, and then the
men taking over the last part of
the display. The weather was
perfect, and there was a good
show. Many brought fireworks,
and others contributed financially. At the school it was fun to
hear the voices of youngsters in
the gym once again, having fun
shooting baskets.
The
holiday
weekend
brought many to the shores of
Skjermo Lake. People, campers,
and vehicles, packed the area.
It brought to mind the days of
the 1920s, when area residents
had picnics, and played games
at the lake. In 1920, Rudy Mantei of Fortuna, built a pavilion
on the southeast shore, on land
belonging to Edwin Anhalt.
Part of the pavilion had a lunch
stand, and confectionery bar,
which the Anhalts operated. It
was a busy place on weekends,
when dance bands provided old
time music. It is reported that
the well known Skarning Band
also played there once. Rudy

added to the fun, when he purchased a launch for use on the
lake. It carried 14 passengers,
and cost 15 cents for one trip
around the lake. By paying a little extra, Rudy would stop the
launch on the southeast part
of the lake, so the passengers
could enjoy the music coming
from the pavilion. People also
liked to sit on the opposite
shore, and look at the lights
of the pavilion. For the convenience of those, who enjoyed
swimming, Rudy constructed
some bath houses in the swimming area. On a hill north of the
pavilion, there was a baseball
diamond, where many games
were played, and sometimes
it was used for a rodeo. In
those days, no admission was
charged, but a couple of them
would walk around with a hat,
and collect donations from
those willing to contribute, and
it seemed there always would
be enough for upkeep and prizes. Those were the Good Old
Days!

Oil impact grants are awarded
By Cecile Wehrman
Grant awards to local political subdivisions to help mitigate impacts from the oil industry have been announced.
But even though some of the
biggest requests were not approved, they will soon have another shot at funding.
Townships and fire districts
were the big winners in this
grant round, closing out the
biennium that ended June 30,
2011.
All eight of the Divide County
townships and 23 Burke County
townships requesting funding
will receive some funds, but for
most it won’t be nearly enough.
In Blooming Prairie Township, for instance, the request
was $100,000 and the award
is $25,000. Awards elsewhere
ranged from as little as $5,000 to
as much as $20,000.
A few townships asking for a
lesser amount of funding, were
funded at 100 percent.
Local political subdivisions
in Burke and Divide counties
actually fared better, overall,
than those in Williams County
-- receiving $363,500 (20 percent of the total request) and
$470,000 (23 percent of the total request), respectively. In
Williams, however, the total of
awards were just 5 percent of
the total request.
In all, $62.5 million was requested by political subdivisions in oil impacted counties,
and just $3.9 million awarded.
Area cities requesting funds
for snow removal or street repairs were denied.
Crosby and Powers Lake were
also denied requests to help
pay for sewer infrastructure improvements.
But a new grant round, with
new funding approved in the
last legislative session, will focus specifically on those types
of requests. The new biennium
began July 1 and grants will now
be awarded on a quarterly basis.
The balance of awards in the
biennium ending June 30, 2011,
were requests from ambulance
and fire services.
Crosby was awarded $20,000
toward a new quick attack fire
truck and the ambulance service will receive $15,000 toward
a four wheel drive vehicle. Powers Lake will receive $15,000 toward ambulance training.
Fire departments in Columbus, Portal, Lignite, Powers
Lake, Noonan and Fortuna each
will receive between $10,000
and $20,000 for replacement of
trucks and/or equipment.
The Legislature voted earlier
this year to raise the cap on the
oil impact fund to $100 million
per biennium, with about $62
million of that total available to
entities in smaller population
centers.
A decision on funding from
the first quarterly awards is expected by the end of the month.

winner of the contest. Johnson will receive a Divide County Maroons jacket.
Wallin Manor
grant approved
Wallin Manor got a boost
from the Crosby City Council
Monday with the approval of
a $40,000 Spirit Fund grant to
help pay for water damage.
The Spirit Fund Board had
recommended a $25,000 grant
to jump start an estimated
$300,000 in repairs.
But with the desperate need
for housing, council members
decided to approve $40,000.
The council also approved a
$1,200 grant for equipment for
Rooster101.com, an Internetbased radio station in Crosby.
On another matter, the council approved the creation of a
special assessment district to
pay for infrastructure improvements in the Grow Crosby addition, as a backup plan should
oil impact monies fail to be provided by the state to cover the
costs.

Olsen ties bring 189 descendants to family reunion
Submitted by Carrol Dahl
Family reunions are not uncommon but the one that was
recently held in Lincoln Valley
Township, Divide County, was
no doubt uncommon, at least
for this community.
An Olsen Family reunion was
held over the Fourth of July
weekend at the homestead
place near Fortuna where Edward and Alma Olsen proved
up their homestead in 1912. Edward fathered three children but
then passed on. Alma married
his brother, Ole, in 1913, and ten
more children were born.
The descendants of these 13
children: Oscar, Edna, Art, Martin, Edward, Alma, Selmer, Helen, Opal, Clara, Richard, Stella
and Odean, which now number
515 people, gathered for the
four-day weekend.
Of these 13, only four are living (Opal Riveland, Clara Selle,
Stella Benson and Odean Olsen)
and they were all in attendance.
Art’s widow, Martha, and Richard’s widow, Eleanor, also attended.
Forty of the 52 Olsen cousins
turned out. Most of them are
grandparents and some have
great grandchildren. The youngest person at the reunion was
only two and one half months
old.
The 185 attendees in tents
and campers (24 sleeping units)
of all sizes encircled the perimeter of the farm yard which is
now owned by Ted and Dianne
Olsen. Ted is a son of Oscar and
Bernice Olsen. Oscar is the oldest child of Edward and Alma.
It was a brave and ambitious
project to host an event of this
magnitude.
People came from Oregon,
Washington, North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado, Montana, Texas, and Arizona.
The planning committee, all
cousins, consisted of family

members who live nearby: Dianne Olsen, Joel Benson, Diane
Bummer, Mervin Olsen, Mary
Brady, Tim and Marilyn Selle,
as well as Sid Hauge, Williston,
and Roy Olsen, Reardon, Washington.
Planning started in November with registration information and a tentative itinerary in
a Christmas letter to the family
members. More meetings were
held in May.
A menu was established by
the committee, groceries were
purchased and various families
prepared and served them. Family members of all ages helped.
There was great participation
in the events which included 2K
or 5K walks, gopher hunting,
horseback riding, farm tours,
wildlife sightseeing, reunion
trivia, horseshoe tournament,
crafts for the children, photo
shoot, Bocce ball, bonfire, wine
tour, music, lefse making, egg
hunt, swimming, fireworks, and
baseball games. Some even visited the country church and
took pictures of tomb stones of
family members.
Here’s what some of the members of the Olsen family had to
say about the reunion:
“My mother was such a special person that I need to (and
want to) pay tribute to the
roots. They are important to
me. I love the Olsen family. We
talk about them all of the time.
This family is about faith, family, friends and freedom. I am so
proud to be connected with the
Olsen family. I feel so bad that I
didn’t get all of my children to
come,” said Allan Loucks, Seattle, Wash., son of Edna (Olsen)
and Francis.
Emery Olsen, Turtle Lake,
son of Art and Martha said, “It
has been a great reunion. There
are people here whom I haven’t
seen for twenty years. The most
rewarding part was to reconnect
with so many people.”
Anne O’Galleher, Tacoma,
Wash. daughter of Jerry and
Rose Loucks, grand-daughter
of Edna (Olsen) and Francis
Loucks, said “I loved that the
itinerary was on Facebook. I felt
like I knew some of the people
before I even came.”
Ben Olsen (10), son of Bruce
and Michelle Olsen, and grandson of Ted and Dianne Olsen,
great grandson of Oscar and
Bernice Olsen said, “The best
part of the reunion was gopher
hunting.”
Then after a moment of
thought, he added, “No, that
wasn’t the best part. The best
part was seeing all of my cousins and family.”
Brandon Reynolds, son of
Jody Hauge, grandson of Sven
and Stacey Hauge, great grandson of Sidney and Helen (Olsen)
Hauge liked riding horse.
“I have never done this before. That was so cool!” he said.
Rose Loucks, Tacoma, Wash.,
wife of Jerry Loucks, daughterin-law of Edna (Olsen) and Francis Loucks observed, “There
were so many people. Everyone
was so friendly. There was so
much good food and entertainment and I enjoyed watching my
daughter and grandson have so
much fun.”
Julie Loucks, daughter of
Rose and Jerry Loucks, granddaughter of Edna (Olsen) and
Francis Loucks said, “The best
part of the reunion was riding
horseback. I also loved watching the fireworks at Taylor’s
grove.”
Lizz Krause, grand-daughter
of Steve and Dora Selle, great
grand-daughter of Clara (Olsen)
and Wilmer Selle said, “I liked
the crafts and making the crown
with red, gold and silver.”
Sven Hauge, (Williston) son of
Sidney and Helen (Olsen) Hauge
commented, jokingly, that the
reunion was “kind of smelly.”
Sven brought an ATV, small
trailer and a 60 gallon tank to
bring fresh water to the campers and another one to haul
away the waste water.
Bert (Hauge) Salo, Fort Morgan, Colo., daughter of Sidney
and Helen (Olsen) Hauge said,
“I was overwhelmed with the
way that the young people took
such an interest in participating. Also, how people went out
of their way to make sure they
were in attendance.”
The Olsen family has gathered for family reunions about
every 10 years in various locations, but coming back to the
home place of their ancestors
seemed to be the best.

Summer crop tour will feature agriculture specialists
All producers are invited to attend
the Divide County Ag Improvement Association’s summer crop tour which
has been scheduled for Monday morning, July 18. The tour will start at 8:30
a.m. and will be held at the Williston
Research Extension Center’s off-station variety trial, which is located approximately 4.5 miles south of Crosby
on the east side of Highway 42.
Speakers will include Jeremy Pederson, area extension agronomist, who
will provide an update on the varieties included in the trial. Dan Waldstein, area extension crops protection
specialist, will also be on hand for the
tour to cover a number of pest related
problems, including wheat midge and
the management of wheat streak mosaic virus, an important consideration
when producing winter wheat. Finally,
Chet Hill, area extension specialist, will
talk about a cover crop demonstration
seeded as part of the off-station trial
and the various crops being considered for use as cover crops.
Located next to the off-station variety trial is a Winter Cereals Sustainability in Action plot being conducted by
County
Agent
By Keith Brown
Ducks Unlimited. Through the support
of Bayer CropScience, Ducks Unlimited
is conducting research to develop new
winter wheat varieties adapted to prairie climatic conditions and to provide
growers with technical support and
education.
Jason Riopel, field agronomist with
Ducks Unlimited, will talk about research being conducted as part of the
project including winter wheat varieties, fertility and fungicide trials.
With the large amount of prevented
planting in the county this year, producer interest in winter wheat is expected to increase this fall. Some of the
production benefits of winter wheat include 10-30% higher yields than springseeded varieties, fall planting which allows growers to spread their workload,
and it can contribute to improvements
in soil and water quality.
Coffee, juice, and muffins will be
provided during the tour by the Divide
County Ag Improvement Association.
The tour should conclude around 10:30
am. For more information, contact the
Divide County Extension Service at
965-6501. Cooperator for both of the
trials is Harlan Johnson.
Scouting for wheat
midge problems
Soil sampling conducted last fall
found a significant increase in the overwinter population of wheat midge in
Divide County and along with it an increased risk of wheat midge problems
in 2011.
Any area with more than 200 larval
cocoons per square meter should be
scouted during wheat heading to determine if an action threshold level of
midge is present in the field. Midge
numbers exceed 500 larvae per square
meter across much of the county.
Wheat midge populations of greater
than 500 larval cocoons per square
meter will require close monitoring
by wheat producers. If the wheat crop
is heading during adult wheat midge
emergence, wheat midge can cause
severe injury to the kernels and significant yield loss can occur.
In a few areas of the county midge
numbers exceed 1,200 larvae per
square meter and were as high as 1,786
larvae per square meter. Wheat midge
is considered to be a very high risk
if more than 1,200 midge larvae per
square meter are found and producers
in those areas should be prepared to
spray if they planted wheat or durum
that heads during midge emergence.
Adding to the potential for midge
problems this year is the large amount
of cropland that didn’t get seeded.
Wheat midge aren’t strong fliers and
don’t move far under their own power
but additional midge could be attracted to wheat fields largely surrounded
by prevented planting acres. Plus,
midge will disperse on wind currents
if they can’t find a suitable host in the
area where they emerge which could
add additional numbers to the small
number of wheat and durum fields that
did get seeded this spring.

Moisture in basements may lead to mold
Several county residents
have asked about the smell
in their basements and how
to get rid of that smell. If you
can smell a musty odor or see
mold, you have a mold problem. According to our Extension
Engineer, Kenneth Hellevang,
“mold growth, which is a health
hazard, is a concern any time
high humidity or damp materials exists. Reliable sampling for
mold can be expensive since it
requires special equipment and
training. Testing is not generally
recommended as a first step”.
Wet or damp materials will
mold in one to three days, depending on temperature. Mold
spores, which are like mold
“seeds,” are in the air everywhere, so the only method to
prevent mold growth is to keep
things dry or to remove them
from the damp area. Remove
porous materials such as cardboard boxes and papers, carpet, rugs and clothes to keep
them from becoming moldy.
Chlorine bleach is a biocide
that will kill existing mold, but
it does not prevent future mold
growth. Mold must be removed,
not just killed, to eliminate the
health hazard.
Hellevang also shares that,
“many wall coverings are porous and will not only absorb
water, but will wick the water
above the water level. Gypsum
board or drywall (sheetrock)
is very absorbent and will wick
water up a wall. Remove or cut
the gypsum board so none of it
will be in the water. Mold grows
readily on the paper of gypsum
board, so controlling the humidity level in the basement is critical to minimize mold growth.”

By Peggy Anderson
“Purchase a humidity gauge,
and keep the humidity below
70 percent. A dehumidifier will
remove some of the water from
the air. Ventilating with dry outdoor air also will reduce the humidity level. Providing both an
opening for air to enter and exit
is critical.” Hellevang continues
by saying that “opening at least
two windows for cross-ventilation. Using a fan facing to the
outdoors will assist with moving dry outside air through the
basement. Use fans to circulate
dry air across damp surfaces
to help the material dry. Isolate the basement from the rest
of the house to limit humidity
from the basement entering the
rest of the house.”
According to information provided on the NDSU flood page
from Hellevang individuals need
to remove water from the basement by channeling the water to
floor drains or by using a skimmer pump or wet vac. Water
will continue to enter the basement as long as the water table
is high, so the goal is to control
the water flow rather than eliminate it. Generally, water cannot
be stopped from entering the
basement with products placed
inside the basement because of
the external water pressure.
The bottom line folks; it’s time
to get rid of your old cardboard
boxes and stashes of papers including the boxes of old school
papers in the basement. Clean
those walls down with a bleach
solution and dry your basement
out. Using room scents are only
covering up a potential health
hazard.

food safety rules have been followed. It is important to properly wash fresh produce before
eating to reduce harmful microorganisms that could cause
foodborne illness, a University
of Nebraska-Lincoln food safety
specialist said.
Wash produce with running
water and then let that water
go down the drain. Do not just
soak the produce, said Julie
Albrecht, UNL Extension food
safety specialist in the Institute
of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
If there is something on the
outside of a food, soaking it
could allow the microorganisms
to spread to other parts of the
food or to other produce in the
same sink. Running water washes the microorganisms down
the drain, Albrecht said.
“It’s really just about preventing cross contamination,”
Albrecht said. “Always use a
colander or strainer so the water goes through the produce
instead of just letting produce
sit in water.”
It is important to wash all
fresh produce, even ones with
rinds that are not eaten, Albrecht said. Bacteria could be
living on the surface and then
spread to the inside of the fruit
when the rind is cut.
Scrub foods with tough surfaces, like melons and potatoes,
with a vegetable scrubber.
Immediately refrigerate fresh
produce after cutting it. Most
fruits and vegetables can be
stored at 40 degrees Fahrenheit
or below, which is cold enough
to prevent microorganisms
from growing.
“Once you cut something or
peel it, keep it cold, refrigerate
it. Do not let it set out at room
temperature because microorganisms grow best around temperatures of 80 to100. Plus, your
food will be crisper and of a better quality,” Albrecht said.
Leafy vegetables and tomatoes have been linked to foodborne illness outbreaks in recent years, so take extra care to
wash them and keep them cold,
Albrecht said.
Be sure to also wash hands,
surfaces and utensils before
handling raw produce.

July 6, and we will easily be at the 1300
degree day mark when female midge
begins emerging from the soil by the
time this appears in the paper. This is
the point where producers concerned
about wheat midge should start scouting susceptible wheat or durum fields
for midge problems. Wheat and durum
are susceptible to midge damage from
heading to early flowering. While there
wasn’t much early seeded wheat or
durum, the earlier seeded wheat and
durum fields could be heading or are
close to heading.
Suggested economic threshold levels are one or more wheat midge for every four or five heads in spring wheat
and one or more wheat midge for every
seven or eight wheat heads in durum.
Please consult the most current North
Dakota Field Crop Insect Management
Guide for a listing of available insecticides for wheat midge control. A link
to this as well as links to the current
midge map, and the most recent Extension publication on wheat midge can
be found at http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.

We are all made
stronger by Christ
There is a common phrase
in our American lexicon that
says something to the effect
of, “Whatever doesn’t kill you
makes you stronger.” Often,
these words are used in times of
illness, grief, trial or hardship.
Not only do we use this phrase
to help others feel better, but we
use it to help ourselves feel better. There has even been some
recent research conducted that
seems to support this claim scientifically within the realm of
medicine. In my own research, I
wasn’t able to determine the origin of this phrase, but there is
some Biblical evidence to support the idea.
The Apostle Paul, in chapter
five of his letter to the Romans,
wrote that “…suffering produces endurance, and endurance
produces character, and character produces hope, and hope
does not disappoint us, because
God’s love has been poured into
our hearts through the Holy
Spirit…” (5:3-5, NRSV)
What often gets overlooked
when we cite this passage or
others like it to support our
ideas of suffering and the good
which can potentially come
from it, is the fact that Paul only
writes of such things within the
context of the suffering Christ.
This always means that when
we suffer, Christ suffers with us.
And because Christ suffers with
us, we understand that our pain
isn’t suffered by ourselves, nor
is it suffered without hope. For
we always look to the cross to
see how Christ suffered on our
behalf. And when we see Christ
suffering for us on the cross, we
are reminded not only of his suffering and death, but of his glorious resurrection which frees
us from all suffering once for all
and which gives us eternal life
in the company of God.
We also know that as Christians, it’s not always the case
that whatever doesn’t kill us
makes us stronger. Part of the
Pastor’s
Corner
By Rob Garton
Concordia Lutheran
Church
paradox of living as a Christian
is the recognition that we’re
only who we are because we
ourselves have died a death.
The global Church has agreed
for a full generation now that
every person who has been
baptized, regardless of our own
denominational interpretations
of that event, dies in that moment. In baptism, a person dies
to sin and is raised to a new life
to be lived in Jesus Christ. In
this one instance then, a thing
that does kill us also makes us
stronger!
Paul supports this idea in
chapter 6 of the same letter:
“Do you not know that all of us
who have been baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into
his death? Therefore we have
been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as
Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father, so we
too might walk in newness of
life” (Rom. 6:3-4, NRSV).
This newness of life means
both today and tomorrow; here
and after we die. Living as a
Christian isn’t promised to be
free of suffering. If anything,
Jesus indicates there will be
more suffering for Christians.
It certainly does not mean we
should seek out suffering. But
with Christ as the one who suffered and died on our behalf,
we know that the suffering we
inevitably endure isn’t the end.
Life is.

News
Highway repairs begin; port roads reopen
By Cecile Wehrman
Repairs to ND 5 between the U.S. 85 junction and Crosby got under way last week.
“It will take a while,” said Walt Peterson
of the Williston District of the N.D. Department of Transportation, before all of the
large potholes can be repaired.
Peterson said a continuous stretch of dry
days finally made some of the work possible starting Wednesday last week, but the
weather in Divide County wasn’t the only
hold up.
Peterson said laborers were already in
short supply, and a number of his workers
were called to the Minot area during the
flood crisis there.
“It may have seemed like a long time,” Peterson said, but the delay in getting to work
on repairs could not be helped.
Now that the work has started, Peterson said crews will likely continue on that
stretch of road until all of the gravel holes
can be patched.
However, he noted, new breaks continue
to appear, so rough patches are likely to remain a regular feature on that highway for
some time to come.
To the north, access for many Canadians
Cecile Wehrman -- The Journal
State Highway Department crews at last have begun patching potholes on U.S. 85 west of
Crosby.
was difficult in recent weeks.
Those roads have since reopened, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Pa-
trol, which said Canadian roads leading to
ports at Ambrose, Noonan and Portal were
all open as of Wednesday last week.
Threshing bee is backdrop for new book
Author to promote Ripple Effect this weekend during annual show
By Cecile Wehrman
Make no mistake, Hadley
Hoover has never been to the
Divide County Threshing Show.
But that didn’t stop her
from using the annual event in
Crosby as the backdrop for the
fourth book in what she calls
her “North Dakota” series.
She’ll be at the show this
weekend, selling and signing
copies of her latest book, “Ripple Effect.”
“It has its foot in reality,” she
said, but she has also taken
some license in the book.
With the assistance of her
childhood friend, Rose Howard, of rural Wildrose, Hoover
was able to use many details of
threshing bee activities, while
fictionalizing others.
For instance, the kiddie train
that used to run on the grounds
in real life, winds its way all the
way to Main Street in the book.
“I was able to keep things
that needed to be true, true,”
Hoover said, while embellishing
some details.
The book even includes a list
of some of the attractions at
Crosby’s Pioneer Village.
“I probably could have set the
story any place,” Hoover said,
but after hearing Rose’s stories
about “Big Ole’s” cook car at the
threshing show, Hoover was intrigued.
Hadley Hoover
Hoover planned two years
ago to attend the show as part
of her research for the book,
but the trip never happened.
The threshing show is the
window dressing for three disparate characters who might
never have otherwise come together.
One is Zeke, a mystery writer
promoting a cook book with his
mom. “Ripple Effect” opens with
the two of them sitting outside
J. Co. Drug on Crosby’s Main
Street, trying to peddle books.
Next is Helene, whom readers of the series will remember as Helen, a woman who left
her husband in fictional Prairie
Rose after he stepped out with
another woman, named Blyss.
Third is Eddie, a drifter who
finds himself back in North Dakota, where years earlier he
found a warm welcome.
“They’re all just kind of coming together during the weekend of the threshing show,” said
Hoover. “And the three of them
could care less about the show.”
Despite her characters’ mild
disdain for the event, the story
gives Hoover the chance to describe what goes on in Divide
County on the third weekend of
July each year.
Similarly, “I was interested
in the combining of characters
that had nothing in common
until I brought them together in
this book.”
The title, “Ripple Effect”
speaks to the ripples each person creates in life, and how
those ripples can effect the people touched by them.
That’s not necessarily the
theme Hoover started out with,
but that’s just how writing goes.
“You write a book and you
think ‘This is where I am going’
and you wind up going off on
this other path.”
It’s made Hoover wonder at
the ripples people have created
in her own life, including her
friend Rose Howard.
“She’s the very first friend I
ever had,” Hoover said. “I have
no one else I’ve known that
long.”
The two girls met in Wildrose
when they were in first grade,
but Hoover’s family moved
away in the middle of that
school year.
“We have been friends all
these years,” Hoover said, and
her memories of Wildrose are
what inspired the start of the
book series that began in 2001
with “Uncharted Territory,”
and was followed with “Hidden
Crossing” and “Storm Path.”
All of the books have been
self-published, along with nine
others in two other series, and
one mystery novel -- in which
the character Zeke, from “Ripple Effect,” is first introduced.
Hoover is now working on her
15th novel, another mystery.
She will have books for sale
at the threshing show on Friday
from noon to 5 p.m. in a tent
near the lunch hall, and will
participate in two book signings with the authors of another book with local ties -- “The
Brothers Krimm” -- to be held at
J. Co. Drug, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on
both Saturday and Sunday.
(Editor’s Note: Journal Editor
Cecile Wehrman is the principal
author of “The Brothers Krimm,”
about the serial bank robber
who committed suicide in Divide
County in September 2009.)
Zoning OK d
for rec center
By Cecile Wehrman
Zoning approval for a health
and wellness center to be
located near a new motel in
Crosby was granted Monday
by the city council, but organizers were first advised a location to the south might be
better.
“I’m trying to slow you down
just a tad because I think it
could be very beneficial,” said
Mayor Les Bakken.
Bakken told council members that talks are under way
in which a few members of the
Clay family may work in cooperation with developer Vern
Haugen to develop about 100
acres south of N.D. 5.
According to Bakken, those
parties would be interested in
locating the health and wellness center located on the
parcel, but Crosby Blue Line
President Harlan Johnson said
his group still needs to work
with the plans now in place.
“I wish they would call us,”
Johnson said, but absent a
firm proposal, “We’re moving
ahead.”
The Blue Line Club already
has taken proposals from design and construction firms,
and is preparing to choose one
from among three finalists.
Bakken said he expected
there could be some determination next week on whether
and how the two parties might
move forward with the Clay
property.
The Blue Line Club presented the council with requested
letters showing support from
residential neighbors who previously questioned the building’s placement near their
homes. Those owners have
now stated they do not oppose the development.
Policing contract tabled
The council decided to table a proposal to contract with
Divide County for policing.
With members Robbi Larsen
and Brian Lund absent, some
of the other council members
said a vote should wait.
Council member Pat Woodward warned that it would be
a “serious mistake” for the city
to dissolve its police force.

FEMA tours continue as water begins to recede
By Cecile Wehrman
The process of assessing
flood damage to Divide County
roads will probably continue
all summer, said Divide County
Emergency Manager Rob Melby.
For a couple of weeks now,
Melby has spent most of each
day touring flooded roads with
Federal Emergency Management Administration officials.
“We have a special team coming up today from Bismarck,”
Melby said Thursday, dealing
specifically with grade raises.
“That’s all they do,” Melby
said and there are a number of
roads which will be considered
for grade raises as a result of
this spring’s flooding.
“We’ll be focusing on the places we need to get access to,” he
said,
including at
least three
more residences in
rural
Divide County
that
have been
all but cut
off.
The time
and paperMelby
work necessary to
handle the crisis has become
so extensive, Melby said, he has
now hired clerical help to keep
the necessary paperwork moving.
“Susan Bummer, the former
tax assessor, is assisting with
the paperwork,” he said, but
there doesn’t seem to be any
remedy for the amount of time
the work takes.
For instance, one day last
week, Melby set out with FEMA
reps to review the access situation for two farmsteads.
“It took basically almost the
whole day to do two of them,”
said Melby. “They look at all
sorts of things and they measure and see if there’s alternate
routes that can be used.”
One bonus in recent days
-- the weather has mostly been
cooperative.
“Thank God!” Melby exclaimed. “It’s sure helping and
the water has dropped some.
You can see it where the water
level was -- at least Mother Nature is working with us a little
now.”

Eventually, there will be a
hard number as to the full extent of damage, but that could
still be a long way off.
“Some of the small projects
will probably move faster than
the larger ones,” he said. “They
probably won’t close this disaster for years.”
Each project has to have a
clear paper trail established,
and those files must be maintained for three years.
As of last week, damage in
nine townships had been assessed, along with the towns of
Noonan and Fortuna.
With one township assessed
each day, or at the most, two
per day, Melby said it could easily take all summer just to get
all of the damage looked at, let
alone fixed.
Councilman Omar Coston,
one of the two police commissioners, agreed.
If the contract is approved,
he said, “We have no more say
in anything.”
Bakken disagreed.
“I don’t see a downside because if it don’t work we’re
right back to where we’re at
now,” he said.
Coston countered that Bakken wants county policing because it would be easier for
the city, not necessarily better
for the community.
With Woodward handing in
her resignation from the council due to an impending move
out of the community, Bakken
seemed content to table the
matter until Larsen and Lund
are present.
“I know how the vote will go
then,” he said.
Nuisance complaint
Marietta Clemens, on behalf
of a group of seven neighbors,
requested the council declare
a nuisance at the former Tuftedal Chevrolet building.
“It’s a dumping ground,” she
said.
Clemens presented the
council with a letter and photos showing eight apparently
inoperable vehicles and pieces of junked equipment that
have been stored for years on
the property, in view of the
street.
She said her concern is for
the potential health hazard
presented by vermin and feral
cats attracted to the property.
One neighbor reported seeing
a person exiting one of the vehicles recently. Two winters
ago, according to Clemens’ letter, a homeless man used one
of the cars for shelter.
Bakken said if the city’s pest
control contractor traps vermin in the vicinity, the health
department could be called in,
but “Part of the trouble is it’s
a commercial property,” and
the city’s nuisance ordinance
is directed at residential property. Nonetheless, the council
directed the city auditor to
investigate the potential for
a nuisance action against the
owner, Joel Benson.
