By Randy BuntrockThree area teams opened their sea-

son with wins Tuesday, Nov. 30.The Kindred Vikings rallied from a

three point halftime deficit to win a 60-54 game from the Milnor Bison.

Central Cass traveled to Forman and took a decisive 54-33 win against the Sargent Central Cadets.

After a winless season last year the Northern Cass Jaguars went into the MayPort-CG Patriots gym and came away with a 20-point win.

Meanwhile the Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page Spartans opened up their season suffering a four-point loss at the hands of Barnes County North.Kindred 60, Milnor 54

Tanner Kretchman scored 25 points, including five 3-pointers and 8-8 from the free throw line to lead the Vikings.

The Vikings held a one point lead

after the first period, but the Bison’s Gage Hansen scored six second quarter points on a pair of 3-pointers to give Milnor the 27-24 half time lead.

Kindred’s A. J. Luick kept the Vi-kings in the game scoring 10 of his 14 points in the first half of play.

The Vikings put 22 points on the board in the third quarter behind three of Kretchman’s 3-pointers to go up 46-42 at the end of three.

The Vikings hit nine of 13 free throws down the stretch to hold off Mil-nor and take the 60-54 win.

Kindred’s Ben Reinke scored eight points and Jack Plankers added six to go with Kretchman’s 25 and Luick’s 14.

Austin Johnson led the Bison with 17 and Ryan Martinson chipped in with 16.

Central Cass struggled offensively to put points on the board, but used a tight man-to-man defense to hold the Sargent Central Cadets offense in check.

The Squirrels kept the Cadets off the scoreboard until the 3:20 mark of the first quarter, but still only held a small 6-2 lead.

Ellery Bresnahan, the Central Cass point guard picked up his second foul just 1:40 into the game, but the Squir-rels managed to build a 17-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Squirrels could score only six points in the second quarter and Cam Enderson hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut the Central Cass lead to 23-18 at the half.

An Adam Ratchenski inside shot sandwiched by a Matt Zimmerman 3-pointer and an offensive put back gave the Squirrels a 30-18 lead just 1:30 into the third quarter.

The Central Cass defense again kept the Cadets scoreless for the first half of the quarter and went on to build a 38-22 advantage after three quarters.

The Squirrels built the lead to 20 early in the fourth quarter and held on for a 54-33 victory.

Matt Zimmerman scored 19 to lead the Squirrels, while Adam Ratchenski

added 14. Zimmer-man also had seven rebounds with Jalen Ham adding six. Ratchenski had three steals and a pair of blocked shots.

The Cadets were led by Jared Huckell with 13, while Cam Enderson added 11.

“We did a lot of nice things defen-sively and did a good job on the boards,” stated Squirrel coach Troy Roesler. “We didn’t shoot the ball very well, we had a lot of good looks, but just couldn’t get them to drop. They did a good job defensively against us, especially in the second quar-ter.”

The Northern Cass Jaguars opened their season with a big win over the MayPort-CG Patriots, after dropping their previous 21 outings.

“Great way to get the monkey off our backs,” stated Jaguar coach Ryan Lyson. “I am excited and happy for the kids.”

The Jaguars recorded their first ever defensive shut out in the first quarter, but struggled offensively themselves and were only able to garner a 6-0 lead at the end of the quarter.

The Jaguars points came on a pair of 3-point baskets, one by Spencer Sym-ington and the other by Colton Hill.

The Patriots opened up the second quarter scoring the first four points with baskets by Nick Rygg and Ryan Ust to cut the Jaguar lead to 6-4.

The Jaguars continued to extend their lead in the second quarter and went into the locker room with a 18-9 advantage at the half.

The teams struggled again in the third quarter with the Jaguars winning the quarter 9-6 and opening up a 27-15 lead at the quarter break.

The offenses started hitting some shots in the fourth quarter with the Jag-uars going on for the easy 49-29 win.

Spencer Symington led the Jaguars with 16 points, while Colton Hill and Ben Hudson each added eight.

The Patriots were led by Ryan Ust’s nine points and John Balwin added eight.

Out of Boundsby Stephen Bartholomay

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s the busy season for the Central Cass Booster Club and they need your help.

The basketball schedule gets nuts real soon and when the wrestlers start doing their thing, life gets kind of hard for the booster club board members who are in charge of those particular sports.

In case you were wondering, Dian-na Holm and Larry Gegelman are run-ning the girls’ basketball concessions, Tim Stautz and Jeremy and Jen Lin-nard have the boys and Jane Swanson and Cody Nelson are in charge of the wrestling events, which includes the granddaddy of all tournaments here in Casselton, the Letterman’s, in early January.

These people need help, lots of it, and it shouldn’t have to be the same people week after week, which is how it seems to go around here a lot of nights in the winter.

Gegelman was in the concession stand last Friday night running the popcorn machine for the boys’ game. We all know that Larry’s not afraid to roll up his sleeves and jump in to help, but he shouldn’t have to be in there working boys’ games when the girls’ season is right around the corner.

Truth be told, the booster club board members go way above and be-yond the call of duty working events. Most of them show up an hour or more before game time and stay well after everyone leaves the gym to clean up and make sure everything is set for the next game night. It’s not hard to see why these people get burned out in a big hurry.

According to recent figures, there are 160-plus members of our booster club. Not every one of those folks is

available to help with winter sporting events, but a great majority of them are, so let’s get to it. The booster club board members should be turning away helpers instead of begging for them.

Since the boys’ and girls’ high school seasons came together a few years back, doubleheaders became a big thing. Central Cass has four of them scheduled at home, which means big crowds and busy conces-sion stands. Those events typically involve multiple games happening at the same time in both gyms, and working concessions can be crazy.

The boosters will need all the help they can get those days, so take your turn when a board member calls and asks for help. The booster club raises the money that helps all of our sports programs. Sooner or later, they’ll do something good that will affect your son or daughter, grandson or grand-daughter. How can you not want to help?

Somebody on the board got the great idea a while back to start get-ting some of our athletes to assist the booster club with concessions, which makes perfect sense because those kids are the ones that reap the ben-efits.

Kids are kids, though, which means they don’t always show up when they’re supposed to, or at all, in some instances. When that happens, we need our coaches and our athletic director to get involved and lean on those kids a little bit. If all this is go-ing to work, we need to have everyone on board – players, coaches, admin-istrators and volunteers. If everyone is going to benefit, everyone needs to help. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

By Amanda Gades America’s number one motor sport

will be fueling up with an American made an ethanol blend starting next year.

NASCAR has struck a six-year multi-million deal with Growth Energy, a coalition of U.S. ethanol supporters including farmers and members of the ethanol supply chain, to use Sunoco Green E15.

The announcement of this partner-ship was broadcast at the Tharaldson Ethanol Plant on Dec. 2. Ethanol supporters such as the North Dakota Ethanol Council, North Dakota Alliance for Renewable Energy and the Corn Growers Association were in atten-dance.

The announcement was made dur-ing the NASCAR champions event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“The entire NASCAR industry will

benefit from American Ethanol’s multi-faceted support of NASCAR, as well as from thousands of farmers and mem-bers of the ethanol supply chain now serving as new ambassadors for the sport,” said NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France.

The partnership will boost the credibility of ethanol to a new level explained Russ Newman, Tharaldson Ethanol vice-president of development.

“If [ethanol] is good for Kevin Har-vick’s NASCAR vehicle, it’s good fuel for everyone,” he said.

Newman, who puts E30 in his vehicle, encourages people to purchase a flex fuel car to have the opportunity to use ethanol. He says his fuel efficiency is just as high with ethanol as gasoline.

North Dakota residents do not need to look far to find ethanol at gas stations. The state is number one in the nation for blender pumps per capita.

Kent Satrang, general manager of Petro Serve USA, which has blender pumps at its Fargo and Casselton sta-tions, has seen a 25 percent increase in E85 use this year.

Ethanol consumption will continue to increase because of this announce-ment, believes Deana Wiese of the North Dakota Ethanol Council.

As the ethanol industry continues to grow, so is the manner in which corn is produced by growers.

“With precision farming, innova-tion, technology and hard work, farm-ers can double our harvest in the years ahead,” said Bart Schott, National Corn Growers Association president of Kulm, N.D. . “NASCAR is a high profile way to showcase ethanol which is one great use for this abundance.”

Retired General Wesley Clark, co-chair of Growth Energy, also spoke dur-ing the broadcasted news conference.

NASCAR’s use of ethanol will “tell a very important story to millions of American race fans every weekend. The story boils down to this: Our nation has the capacity right now to meet more of our demand for transportation fuel than ever before and meet that demand from domestic sources. I’m talking about turning to the farm fields of the Midwest to secure our nation’s energy future.”

Clark added that the investment will create jobs for decades to come.

In February, when racing enthusi-asts tune in to see who will be in victory lane, they’ll know that NASCAR has come through on their commitment to go green.

NASCAR to fuel with ethanol, announcement made at local plant

Photos by Amanda Gades/The Reporter Kevin Skunes, of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association, said the association had an “instrumental” role in advocating blender pumps in the state. North Dakotans may be more likely to choose one of the ethanol blends because of the NASCAR an-nouncement.

Russ Newman, Tharaldson Ethanol vice president of develop-ment, and Patrice Lahlum, of the North Dakota Alliance for Renewable Energy spoke about the impact of ethanol prior to the broadcast of the NASCAR partnership announcement.

Peterson Farm Seed photocontest winners announced

Peterson Farms Seed’s “Farm Follies” Foto Contest winners were announced today at the Northern Ag Expo in Fargo.

of customers, but we think farming should have an element of fun as well,” says Carl Peterson, President. “Like many things in life, farming mishaps might not be funny at the time, but in retrospect we can smile about them.”

NDFU state convention heldNorth Dakota Farmers Union

members had the opportunity to speak up, debate and adopt several new policy positions at the 84th an-nual North Dakota Farmers Union state convention held Nov. 19-20 in Minot.

Cass County delegates attend-ing this year’s convention were Scott Sinner of Fargo, John Pueppke of Amenia and Glenn and Ruth Pueppke of Erie. Sinner served as a member of the Policy and Action Committee dur-ing the convention.

NDFU Outreach Staff Diana Freese attended the convention and commented, “We were delighted to see so many members attend in spite of the forecasted weather. We had a successful convention, dynamic speakers, and great discussion on policy, and as always, the opportunity to reacquaint with Farmers Union friends and family.”

President Robert Carlson ad-dressed the crowd, “We will fight for the Farm Bill you tell us you want and for all the goals you set for us in the policy that you adopt today. That is the job you send us to do, that is our mission, and we will give it our best with your help. It is a real honor to represent the members of this fine organization as your president.”

In a passionate keynote address, Gen. Wesley Clark called on North Dakota Farmers Union members to support a movement which would make the United States self-sufficient from foreign fuels. Clark believes that the United States should be investing in ethanol and other homegrown fuels rather than spending $300 billion a year on foreign oil. He explained, “Our dependency on foreign oil costs more than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need to recharge America’s economy and we need a level playing field.”

Other highlights of the conven-tion included speeches from Roger Johnson, National Farmers Union President; Dr. Daryll E. Ray, Direc-tor of the Agricultural Policy Analysis Center; and Doug Goehring, North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner.

Goehring said, “We are always taking on challenges and our best course of action is to look for positive outcomes when it comes to food, fiber and fuel. NDFU plays an important role in this state. We need to work to-gether and find the best path to take.”

Breakout sessions with field spe-cialists featured Greg McKee from the Quentin Burdick Center for Coopera-tives; Nathan Schmitz from Producers Financial Group; Cory Fong from the State of North Dakota; and Frayne Olson from North Dakota State Uni-versity.

Delegates re-elected Carlson as president and Woody Barth as vice president. National convention del-

egates were elected as well. Zetocha was chosen as an alternate delegate to the national convention.

David and Mardee Heinrich of Adrian, N.D. were named as the 2010 NDFU Farm Family of the Year.

The convention concluded with the Torchbearer Award ceremony for youth. The Torchbearer Award is the highest level of recognition youth can achieve for their involvement in Farmers Union activities. This year, 42 youth were recognized.

Cass County resident Scott Sinner (middle) served as a member of the Policy and Action Committee during the recent North Dakota Farm-ers Union state convention in Minot. Sinner was selected to be on this fifteen member committee and represents District VII, which includes the counties of Cass, Barnes, Griggs, Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Steele and Traill counties. The Policy and Action Committee meets sev-eral times during the year and then presides over the member policy and action debate during the state convention. The organization’s stance on various issues are determined by this process each year.

Question: I have a black thumb when it comes to plants, but I have had some success with a rope hoya. It was doing well for three years. How-ever, all of a sudden, two strands of the plant have shriveled leaves. The others look great. Last year, I for-got to water it one week, so all the leaves shriveled. I watered it and left it in the bathroom when I showered. The leaves came back fine. This time, nothing is bringing those two strands back. I don’t overwater the plant. Any suggestions would be very helpful. (e-mail reference)

Answer: If a steamy bathroom from showering cannot bring these strands back, then they are dead. I would suggest cutting those strands back to keep any pathogens from get-ting started in the remaining living portions of the plant. Hoya is one plant that will tolerate dry indoor winter conditions. However, there is a differ-ence between tolerance and thriving. If I had to, I could tolerate brussels sprouts if there were nothing else in the world to eat, but I would thrive on a well-balanced diet of fruits, veggies and whole grains. The same applies to your hoya or any other houseplant other than a desert cactus. They can get by with winter’s dry interior air but would thrive with a visit to the bathroom when you shower. It doesn’t have to happen every time, just oc-casionally. All houseplants need to have their watering schedule adjusted during the winter and get their light duration and intensity increased. Supplement the light coming in with an artificial light on a timer set for 14 hours. Do it through March.

Question: What are the perfect months to trim a spruce or pine tree? (e-mail reference)

Answer: Spring is the best time if I need to give a season to your ques-tion. Spruce trees need very little, if any, pruning. However, you may cut the new shoots to half their length throughout the tree to shape and re-tard growth. Make sure it is done with a hand pruner, not hedge shears. Use the same technique on pine trees un-less you are grooming them to be full Christmas trees. In that case, a ma-chete is used by commercial growers. On either evergreen species, if an en-tire branch is removed, it will not grow back. This is sometimes practiced on spruce trees as they get older to allow for better air circulation and to cut down on snow drifts. On either spe-cies, remove any secondary growth to keep it from competing with the main trunk. Reach in or up and cut it out where it originates.

Question: I have just discovered my jade plant is covered in what I think are brown scales. Can you please tell me how I can get rid of them? I seem to recall they are hard to control. Hope you have an easy fix! (e-mail ref-erence)

Answer: It could be scale or ede-ma from overwatering. Do a test by scraping some off with your fingernail to see if there is any sign of an insect. If not, then it is just a corky lesion that has developed. Think of it as freckles on the foliage. The reason I’m a little suspicious is that scale usually attach themselves on the stems. If on the fo-liage, they would be on the underside of the leaf. However, Mother Nature abounds with exceptions to the ex-pected. Another reason for my suspi-cion is the plant looks too healthy to support that heavy of an infestation of scale. If this does turn out to be scale, then you would need to find a system-ic insecticide for houseplants at a local retail outlet. Apply it according to la-bel directions. You have way too many to swab off with alcohol or with a topi-cal application of any insecticide.

Groundbreaking ceremony heldGroundbreaking ceremonies were

held for the North Dakota Heritage Center expansion project. The $52 million project will nearly double the size of the current facility with the ad-dition of 97,000 square feet.

Located on the state capitol grounds, the North Dakota Heri-tage Center is the headquarters of the state’s history agency, the State Historical Society of North Dakota (SHSND). It is also the state’s history museum, and its largest museum.

Among those participating in the groundbreaking ceremonies were Governor John Hoeven, former Gov-ernors William Guy, Allen Olson and Ed Schafer, former First Lady Grace Link, SHSND Director Merl Paaver-ud, State Historical Board President Chester E. Nelson, Jr., SHSND Foun-dation Executive Director Virginia Nelsen, and SHSND Foundation Pres-ident Jon McMillan. Greetings and congratulations were sent by former Governor George Sinner, who was un-able to attend the event. Many other officials also attended the program and groundbreaking. Due to the in-clement weather, the event was held in the Heritage Center’s Russell Reid Auditorium, with soil overturned by officials to symbolically represent an actual groundbreaking event.

“Today is a historic day in North Dakota, not only for the North Dakota Heritage Center, but for the future generations that will benefit from the preservation and chronicling of our state’s rich heritage,” said Governor Hoeven. “This groundbreaking marks the culmination of years of hard work and planning by many people, and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in telling the story of our great state.”

The 2009 Legislative Assembly authorized $51.7 million for the ex-pansion of the exhibits and collections spaces of the North DakotaHeritage Center. Of this, $39.7 million in state funds was appropriated. The remain-ing funds are being raised by the State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation from other sources.

SHSND Director Merl Paaverud said the expansion of the Heritage Center, which will nearly double its size with the addition of 97,000 square feet, should be completed by 2014, the 125th anniversary of North Dakota.

“What better time than that to showcase an extraordinary state mu-seum that reflects our rich heritage and history, not only for us, but also for our children and for generations to come,” Paaverud said. “It will be a wonderful gift to the people of our state. We deeply appreciate the strong support this project has received from our many supporters and the Legisla-ture, together with Governor Hoeven, our legislators, Lt. Governor Dalrym-ple, and our former governors in help-ing to make this day a reality.”

Said SHSND Foundation Direc-tor Virginia Nelsen: “This exciting and ‘must see’ expanded North Da-kota Heritage Center will draw on the timeless architecture of the existing building designed by the architectural firm AWBW of Bismarck more than 25 years ago and create a ‘Smithso-nian of the Plains.’ We are so grateful for the strong support this project has received over the years. From Gover-nor Guy and Governor Link, who both believed so strongly in the need for a heritage museum, to the subsequent governors who continued to invest in tourism infrastructure all across the state, using State Historical Society resources as part of this plan, we come to today where we have begun con-struction on a facility that will have regional, national, and international significance.”

The expansion idea began with a meeting of North Dakota’s then-six living governors at a North Dakota Heritage Center forum in November

2001 celebrating the building’s 20th anniversary. The governors talked about the vision and work that made the Heritage Center a reality, and looked toward the next 20 years of history and heritage tourism for the state. The governors – William Guy, Arthur Link, Allen Olson, George Sin-ner and Edward Schafer-- signed a resolution asking Governor John Ho-even to appoint a commission to study the possible expansion of facilities and operations of the SHSND. Governor Hoeven appointed that commission, chaired by Lt. Governor Jack Dalrym-ple, in August 2002, and it prepared a report to the 2003 Legislative Assem-bly recommending a series of invest-ments in the SHSND to spur growth and expansion.

The North Dakota Heritage Cen-ter is full of temporary and perma-nent exhibits that preserve and tell the history and prehistory of what is now North Dakota. In a cooperative agreement with the North Dakota Geological Survey, the Heritage Cen-ter also houses the State Fossil Collec-tion. Open since 1981 and accredited by the American Association of Mu-seums (AAM) since 1986, the North Dakota Heritage Center is one of only two museums accredited in the state by the AAM; the other is the Plains Art Museum in Fargo. The AAM is a national organization, with headquar-ters in Washington, D.C., that has served the museum profession since 1906.

What follows is a detailed chro-nology of the North Dakota Heritage Center’s beginning through today’s historic expansion groundbreaking event:

The BeginningThe North Dakota Heritage Cen-

ter, which began as a 1976 U.S. Bicen-tennial project for the state, opened its doors in 1981. The original gallery, collection storage, labs, and offices were designed for a 20-year plan; the Heritage Center was designed to be expanded. Expansion planning began in 2002 with Governor Hoeven’s State Historical Society of North Dakota Commission, under the guidance of all five former living governors. Since 2001, $21 million has been invested across the state in heritage tourism infrastructure; the last remaining piece is the expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center. Phase I, the expansion of the state archives, began in 2005; the grand opening was held in 2007. This 25-year plan added 30,000 square feet of collections stor-age at a cost of $5.7 million, doubling archives collections space.

Phase II ExpansionThe second phase of expansion

will double the existing exhibit, visi-tor services, programming, collec-tions storage, labs, and office space by adding 97,000 square feet. Half of the expansion, 48,000 square feet, will provide more public space and exhibit galleries, and half will be on the lower level for daily agency opera-tions. The size of this expansion was determined by a 25-year need for col-lections growth. The 2005 and 2007 Legislative Assemblies allocated plan-ning dollars, and the 2009 Assembly authorized $39.7 million towards this $51.7 million project. The remaining $12 million is being raised by the State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation from other sources.

Sustainability is at the core of the construction and ongoing operations of the expanded Heritage Center. Using geothermal and fly ash tech-nologies, energy efficient systems, recycling programs, the North Dakota Heritage Center is going green.

CollectionsThe State Historical Society of

North Dakota has several different collection responsibilities. Along with the State Archives there are the archaeology and historic preservation

collections, and artifact collections. Through an agreement with the De-partment of Mineral Resources, North Dakota Geological Survey, the Center also houses the Johnsrud Paleontol-ogy Laboratory.

Archaeology and Historic Preser-vation collections include millions of specimens representing human ac-tivity that were recovered across the state. There are also thousands of re-source files critical to oil, coal, wind, road, and bridge contractors and de-velopers across the state. The Heri-tage Center is also the federal archae-ology repository for the state. Also considered collections, a statewide network of 55 state historic sites is ad-ministered from the Heritage Center. Ten of these sites have interpretive centers or museums.

Artifact collections are three-di-mensional objects, including items such as natural history specimens, textiles, vehicles, agricultural equip-ment, art, toys, weapons and furni-ture. Objects range in age from a 10,000-year-old mastodon skeleton to disposable items used yesterday, and in scale from tiny glass beads to a locomotive. Paleontology collections represent the fossil history and the geology of North Dakota. Specimens in the paleontology lab include a gem and mineral collection, and the State Fossil Collection consisting of fossils ranging in scale from microscopic pol-len to huge dinosaur skeletons. The Heritage Center is also the federal pa-leontology repository for the state.

Public LevelIn addition to badly needed new

exhibit gallery and collections space, the Phase II expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center will also in-clude:

The Northern Lights Atrium, a beacon that will welcome all visitors, will be the new eastern entrance.

The Hub of History will be a new media tourist information center. The Hub of History will direct visitors to all corners of the state to experience the people, landscape, and history where it happened. The opportunities will include all of the state’s cultural, heri-tage, ecological, agricultural, sporting, and Main Street tourism venues. The Hub of History will be a statewide net-work of partnerships offering the best of the state to those who live near and those visiting from afar.

The James River Café will provide the visitor with North Dakota-grown quality foods to complete a memora-ble museum visit.

The Great Plains Theater, a 60-seat theater, will offer an orientation film and all sorts of programming op-portunities.

The North Dakota Corridor of His-tory, a passageway through the build-ing, will connect all visitor experienc-es, from exhibit galleries to the Red, Sheyenne and Souris River hallways, Museum Store and meeting rooms. The Corridor will feature large digital

screens, exhibits and programming space.

The Missouri River Event Center, along with existing meeting rooms, will provide facilities needed for large meetings and conventions.

Exhibit GalleriesThe Geologic Time Gallery will

contain more than 500 million years of North Dakota history illustrating the earliest life forms up to the last glaciation, about 10,000 years ago. These exhibits, which will feature a Magic Globe theater, the dinosaurs and much more, will set the stage for the fossil fuel stories of North Dako-ta’s oil and coal industries; they will explain the landscape and soils that have shaped the state’s agricultural future.

The Early Peoples Gallery will cover more than 10,000 years of the earliest human history in what is now North Dakota. When the Gizapyra-mids in Egypt or pre-Columbian civi-lizations of South America flourished, so did American Indian civilizations in North Dakota. The gallery will highlight early occupation and explo-ration up to the establishment of Da-kota Territory in 1861.

The Inspiration Gallery is the cur-rent Main Gallery, and will present the last 150 years of the state’s his-tory. It will investigate opportunities, innovations, decisions, and outcomes through captivating stories about North Dakota’s resources, industries, events, and people.

The Governors Gallery will host temporary and traveling exhibits, creating regional and world-class blockbuster events. This gallery will provide an opportunity to bring the world to North Dakota and share the state with other museums across the country and world.

All the exhibit galleries will feature the collections, new media kiosks, learning labs and hands-on activities that offer all visitors -- school groups, families and tourists -- exciting and authentic experiences.

The design concepts have been detailed by the architectural firm of Hammel, Green and Abrahamson (HGA) Architects and Engineers of Minneapolis, and Lightowler Johnson Associates of Fargo.

The TimelineConstruction will take about two

years, from December 2010 to De-cember 2012. The exhibit galleries will open over the following two-year period from 2012 into 2014, culmi-nating in North Dakota’s 125th anni-versary of statehood on November 2, 2014.

Walkers encouraged to enjoy “history hikes”

Walkers out exercising during the winter months are encouraged to visit the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck and stroll through time as they enjoy the many exhibits -- and the warm indoor temperature -- pro-vided by the state’s largest museum.

Located on the state capitol grounds, the North Dakota Heritage Center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. It is open year-round, closed only on New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

“We have measurements in place so hikers can keep track of the dis-tance they walk, while also enjoy-ing the museum exhibits,” said Beth Campbell, Visitor Services Coordina-tor for the State Historical Society of North Dakota. “One-quarter mile and one-half mile route maps are available at the Information Desk.”

Located on the state capitol grounds, the North Dakota Heritage Center is full of temporary and perma-

nent exhibits that preserve and tell the history and prehistory of what is now North Dakota. It is the headquarters of the state’s history agency, the State Historical Society of North Dakota. In a cooperative agreement with the North Dakota Geological Survey, the Heritage Center also houses the State Fossil Collection.

Open since 1981 and accredited by the American Association of Mu-seums (AAM) since 1986, the North Dakota Heritage Center is one of only two museums accredited in the state by the AAM; the other is the Plains Art Museum in Fargo. The AAM is a na-tional organization, with headquarters in Washington, D.C., that has served the museum profession since 1906.
