New physician coming to Crosby after losing Minot home to fl oodBy Cecile Wehrman

The fl ood 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 doc-tors,” said Les Urvand, hospital ad-ministrator, 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

left the hospital with only one physi-cian, Dr. Patrick Evans.

Now, Sedo plans to arrive even be-fore Tsutskiridze leaves in September, bringing with him his wife, Jean, and two grandchildren.

The family was displaced by the fl ood in Minot.

“My house was completely de-stroyed,” said Sedo, but he was famil-iar 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 market-able profession,” Sedo said, given the situation with housing throughout the region, and the number of people cur-rently displaced.

However, his familiarity with Cros-by’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 are-na.”

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 hos-pital for which Sedo provides locum tenens coverage now.

“It makes life a lot easier,” he said, when you can come and go from hospi-tal 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 fi rst job at what was then St. Luke’s Hospi-tal 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.

Threshing Show provides blast from pastBy Jared Gilmour

The 42nd Annual Divide County Thresh-ing Show will showcase the past at Cros-by’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 rang-ing from parades, to dances, to raffl es, of-fer up something for everyone during the three-day show.

“I hope people fi nd something interest-ing 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 par-ticipate or watch.

Two more parades take place on the grounds Saturday and Sunday. Vintage cars, tractors, horses and more are fea-tured 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-

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, bee-goers 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 fi ve 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 fea-tured – from the Bradley saw mill to the old blacksmith shop.

Pioneer Village itself will be on display, showcasing 22 restored historic buildings fi lled with photographs and memorabilia.

A 5k run/walk will be held at 9 a.m. Sat-urday.

An antique fl ea 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 tar-geted 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 elec-tricity, are available for $10 per night.

More information can be found at dc-threshingbee.com.

‘Oil Can!’ comes to CrosbyFree 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. fea-turing a variety of oil fi eld experts.

Then, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., eight grill teams, pairing oil fi eld service and explo-ration 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.

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 Su-perintendent 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.

Rain puts strain on Crosby Country Club

By Jared GilmourA 10 percent decline in in-

come at the Crosby Country Club golf course is compound-ing fl ooding damages due to trees, bridges, greens and the irrigation system.

The drop in golf course in-come follows off-and-on clo-sures in the last two months due to fl ooding. Inundated with water multiple times this spring in the wake of record precipita-tion, the golf course is still re-covering. But it is now open.

Country Club President Bob Svangstu said membership lev-els and the number of greens fees have taken a big hit, con-tributing 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 fl ourishing this year, with food income up 25 percent and the bar’s income up 30 percent.

The clubhouse was generally open throughout the fl ooding, board member Wayne Lervick said, even when the course it-self was forced to close.

“We have been golfi ng, but every time it fl ooded, 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 traffi c hits especially hard. With the main road shut down due to fl ooding, those golfers couldn’t even get to the course.

“The bridge is out,” Svang-stu 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 fi nd tall grass and parched land, which cannot be watered until the irrigation sys-tem is fi xed.

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 fl ooding. Along with holes three and fi ve, seven and nine are the holes that usually go underwater dur-ing wet periods.

To help hole nine dry, a tem-porary 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.”

Passing

DreamsBy Steve Andrist

Something ElseBy Aaron Orlowski

Yet another story delivers a blunt kick to the gutAlcohol 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, unat-tached from a story, objective.

But the gut never lies.I’ll never forget the fi rst 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

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 sus-pects, 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 de-fendant 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 respond-ing to a report of a domestic distur-bance.

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 offi cers arrived, the suspect was sitting in a van. He shot Kenner, and another offi cer returned fi red and incapacitiated the suspect.

Law enforcement offi cers 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 respon-sible for removing inhibitions and re-placing them with chemical bravado.

Though suspected, I don’t recall di-rect 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 domes-tic 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 vio-lence cases involve false bravado? Not yet.

How about when Steve Kenner takes a bullet from a drunk?

God rest his soul.

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S QUESTION: The Departing Shot is a business begun by hunter, Jim Donigan, to provide tributes to hunting dogs. The Kansas City entrepreneur places the ashes of beloved bird dogs in shotgun shells. Some clients plan to fi re the shells in 21-gun salutes while others will display the shells in a wooden case.

■ The very fi rst modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The fi rst gold medal presented was won by a United States contestant, James B. Connelly, who won in the hop, step and jump.

■ Odd facts about the human body: bones are twice as tough as granite. The stomach can infl ate to 20 times its size when full. The left lung is smaller than the right lung in order to make room for the heart. Eyes always stay the same size that they were at birth. Children grow faster in the spring than at any other time.

■ Potatoes are sometimes called the “grapes of the north” as they are used as a substitute for grains in making alcohol. During World War II, the Palace Park in Oslo, Norway, was planted to the tuber. Originating in the Andes, they became the staple food for Ireland. A potato crop failure there prompted the largest infl ux of Irish settlers to America.

■ On April 3, 2007, the French unveiled the bullet train, which set a new world record for a conventional train. It traveled 357.2 miles per hour, faster than a jet taking off. The train was modifi ed with a 25,000 horsepower engine and the rails were treated so wheels made perfect contact. The V150 broke the record set by

France in 1990 of 320.2 mph.■ After the San Francisco earthquake on April

18, 1906, over 6½ billion bricks were picked up from the rubble. Workers lived in crowded one-room barracks in the Presidio and were paid $2.00 for an eight-hour day.

■ QUESTION OF THE WEEK: When was Walter Johnson’s 1927 strikeout record broken?

Departing Shot honors bird dogs

Summer gatherings are to be cherishedThere 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 re-unions, 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 imple-ment dealership.

They did a miraculous job of cleaning up the place, fi lling 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 beauti-ful little city and they wanted it to be a proper burial.

Their school closed and gradu-ally 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 fi nd the guy who locked me in his cave and stuck my friend in a gar-bage can when we were boys, giving us our fi rst taste of unforgettable terror. And the guy I so admired be-cause 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 fi re escape into a snow bank from the fi rst 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 be-comes 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 repopula-tion 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.

‘Headlines in History’ is an ‘awesome’read

Letter to

the Editor

By Terry De Long, FargoI fi nally got a copy of

“Headlines in History” and I’ve been reading it the last 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.

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 fl ow-ers, 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 landfi ll, 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, how-ever, and inform the rest of the community, and meetings are always open to the public.

“Not in my backyard!”The acronym NIMBY was fi rst used in a No-

vember 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 prog-ress industry has made in disposing of haz-ardous 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 fi gure out how to dispose of waste, there will always be a little something left over from industrial production, she says. We all want the benefi ts 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 some-how 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 landfi ll.

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 landfi ll 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

product. Every day, I, like every American, pro-duce 4.3 pounds of trash that must be hauled in a gas-slurping truck to sit in a landfi ll, or be incinerated. Waste.

I demand that industry produce convenient things for me, and then I complain when they put the byproduct near me.

“Not in my backyard!”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 fi ght.

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 infl uence 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 loud-est.

“Not in my backyard!”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 solu-tion, 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 con-sumes 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.

ObituariesOle R. Holm, 89, a longtime

Appam, N.D., resident passed away Friday morning, July 8, 2011, at his home.

His funeral service was cel-ebrated 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 home-stead, attended schools in Ap-pam and Alamo and graduated from Alamo High School with the Class of 1941.

On November 24, 1945, Ole was united in marriage with Mar-garet Vera Gilbert in Plentywood, Mont. One of the highlight of his life was marrying Margaret. They had over sixty-fi ve 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

got their vehicle stuck during a snowstorm. Ole was able to fi nd them with his team of horses and sleigh and bring them to safety.

He served on both the El-mgren 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. How-ever, none of Ole’s animals ever went hungry.

Ole had a great love of horses

and trained many throughout the years, including his favorite horse, Jim. They had the best of care and were never abused.

He also enjoyed fi shing and hunting. He was proud to be a farmer and derived much joy from it, right up until the end.

Surviving Ole are his loving family: wife, Margaret, Appam; sons, David (Jean) Holm, Weiser, Idaho, Douglas (Rhonda) Holm, Alamo, Tim (Layne) Holm, Wil-liston and Randy (Christy) Holm, Alamo; daughters, Betty (Dean) Pettis, Billings, Mont. and Rebec-ca (Rob) Holm-Zelzer, Williston; sisters, Myrtle Livedalen, Rug-by, Ruth Sorenson, West Port, Wash., Lillian Miller, Williston, Nina Taylor, Seattle, Wash., and Doris Tuske, West Port, Wash.; 19 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by sons, Robert and Todd Holm; parents, Oliver and Mathilda; brothers, William, Oliver, Jr., and Wesley; and sisters, Selma Hill, Mabel Anderson, Helen Kent, Linda Peper and Gloria Holm.

Alkabo-FortunaBy Elaine Leininger

Shirley Bakke spent the week-end of July Fourth at her farm home with son, Glenn. She is presently living at Bethel Home in Williston.

Dale Raaum’s sister, Sandy Raaum of Williston, spent July Fourth weekend with Dale and Leona.

There was a large turnout for the Olsen reunion in the Lin-coln Valley area a week ago. The group included many relatives, and some had not seen for a long time. Sunday, July 3, many of them attended the baptism of Ava Ann Smith, the youngest of the clan, at the church service at Writing Rock Church.

Attending a Fourth of July get-together at Roger and Diana Bloom’s, were Bryan and Do-netta Bloom, Krissy and Steve Kemp, and children, Bob, and Judy Kemp, all of Williston; Tho-ra Bloom, and Keith Anderson of Crosby, and Keith’s broth-ers, Duane and wife, Liz, and Don Anderson, Magnhild Gal-lagher, Mary Lou, and Eddie Childs, of Anacortes, Wash., and Jim Reistad. They had a large display of fi reworks that evening.

There was a large turnout at

the Alkabo School attending the potluck supper, visiting, and then attending the fi reworks at the ball diamond later in the evening. The display began with the children, and teenagers par-ticipating in fi ring a collection of fi reworks fi rst, and then the men taking over the last part of the display. The weather was perfect, and there was a good show. Many brought fi reworks, and others contributed fi nan-cially. 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 Man-tei 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 pur-chased a launch for use on the lake. It carried 14 passengers, and cost 15 cents for one trip around the lake. By paying a lit-tle 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 conve-nience of those, who enjoyed swimming, Rudy constructed some bath houses in the swim-ming 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 priz-es. Those were the Good Old Days!

Debbie and Larry Kallias of Minot, spent Saturday with the George Leiningers.

Oil impact grants are awardedBy Cecile Wehrman

Grant awards to local politi-cal subdivisions to help miti-gate impacts from the oil indus-try have been announced.

But even though some of the biggest requests were not ap-proved, they will soon have an-other shot at funding.

Townships and fi re 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 Town-ship, 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 per-cent of the total request) and $470,000 (23 percent of the to-tal request), respectively. In Williams, however, the total of awards were just 5 percent of the total request.

In all, $62.5 million was re-quested by political subdivi-sions in oil impacted counties, and just $3.9 million awarded.

Area cities requesting funds for snow removal or street re-pairs were denied.

Crosby and Powers Lake were also denied requests to help pay for sewer infrastructure im-provements.

But a new grant round, with new funding approved in the last legislative session, will fo-cus specifi cally on those types of requests. The new biennium began July 1 and grants will now be awarded on a quarterly ba-sis.

The balance of awards in the biennium ending June 30, 2011, were requests from ambulance and fi re services.

Crosby was awarded $20,000 toward a new quick attack fi re truck and the ambulance ser-vice will receive $15,000 toward a four wheel drive vehicle. Pow-ers Lake will receive $15,000 to-ward ambulance training.

Fire departments in Colum-bus, 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 fi rst quarterly awards is ex-pected by the end of the month.

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 Internet-based radio station in Crosby.

On another matter, the coun-cil approved the creation of a special assessment district to pay for infrastructure improve-ments in the Grow Crosby ad-dition, as a backup plan should oil impact monies fail to be pro-vided by the state to cover the costs.

Submitted by Carrol DahlFamily reunions are not un-

common 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 Ed-ward and Alma Olsen proved up their homestead in 1912. Ed-ward 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, Mar-tin, Edward, Alma, Selmer, Hel-en, Opal, Clara, Richard, Stella and Odean, which now number 515 people, gathered for the four-day weekend.

Of these 13, only four are liv-ing (Opal Riveland, Clara Selle, Stella Benson and Odean Olsen) and they were all in attendance. Art’s widow, Martha, and Rich-ard’s widow, Eleanor, also at-tended.

Forty of the 52 Olsen cousins turned out. Most of them are grandparents and some have great grandchildren. The young-est 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 perim-eter 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 old-est 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, Min-nesota, Colorado, Montana, Tex-as, and Arizona.

The planning committee, all cousins, consisted of family

members who live nearby: Di-anne Olsen, Joel Benson, Diane Bummer, Mervin Olsen, Mary Brady, Tim and Marilyn Selle, as well as Sid Hauge, Williston, and Roy Olsen, Reardon, Wash-ington.

Planning started in Novem-ber with registration informa-tion 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. Fam-ily 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, bonfi re, wine tour, music, lefse making, egg hunt, swimming, fi reworks, and baseball games. Some even vis-ited the country church and took pictures of tomb stones of family members.

Here’s what some of the mem-bers of the Olsen family had to say about the reunion:

“My mother was such a spe-cial 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, fam-ily, 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, Seat-tle, 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 grand-son 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 cous-ins and family.”

Brandon Reynolds, son of Jody Hauge, grandson of Sven and Stacey Hauge, great grand-son of Sidney and Helen (Olsen) Hauge liked riding horse.

“I have never done this be-fore. That was so cool!” he said.

Rose Loucks, Tacoma, Wash., wife of Jerry Loucks, daughter-in-law of Edna (Olsen) and Fran-cis Loucks observed, “There were so many people. Everyone was so friendly. There was so much good food and entertain-ment and I enjoyed watching my daughter and grandson have so much fun.”

Julie Loucks, daughter of Rose and Jerry Loucks, grand-daughter of Edna (Olsen) and Francis Loucks said, “The best part of the reunion was riding horseback. I also loved watch-ing the fi reworks 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 camp-ers and another one to haul away the waste water.

Bert (Hauge) Salo, Fort Mor-gan, Colo., daughter of Sidney and Helen (Olsen) Hauge said, “I was overwhelmed with the way that the young people took such an interest in participat-ing. Also, how people went out of their way to make sure they were in attendance.”

The Olsen family has gath-ered for family reunions about every 10 years in various loca-tions, but coming back to the home place of their ancestors seemed to be the best.

Olsen ties bring 189 descendants to family reunion

Descendants of the Edward and Alma Olsen family gathered over the Fourth of July week-end at the home place (above) near Fortuna, off ering horseback riding and many other activi-ties.

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 prob-lem. According to our Extension Engineer, Kenneth Hellevang, “mold growth, which is a health hazard, is a concern any time high humidity or damp materi-als exists. Reliable sampling for mold can be expensive since it requires special equipment and training. Testing is not generally recommended as a fi rst step”.

Wet or damp materials will mold in one to three days, de-pending on temperature. Mold spores, which are like mold “seeds,” are in the air every-where, 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 card-board boxes and papers, car-pet, 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 po-rous 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 humid-ity level in the basement is criti-cal to minimize mold growth.”

“Purchase a humidity gauge, and keep the humidity below 70 percent. A dehumidifi er will remove some of the water from the air. Ventilating with dry out-door air also will reduce the hu-midity 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-ventila-tion. Using a fan facing to the outdoors will assist with mov-ing dry outside air through the basement. Use fans to circulate dry air across damp surfaces to help the material dry. Iso-late the basement from the rest of the house to limit humidity from the basement entering the rest of the house.”

According to information pro-vided on the NDSU fl ood page from Hellevang individuals need to remove water from the base-ment by channeling the water to fl oor drains or by using a skim-mer pump or wet vac. Water will continue to enter the base-ment as long as the water table is high, so the goal is to control the water fl ow rather than elimi-nate 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 in-cluding 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.Wash fruits and vegetablesFresh fruits and vegetables

make any summer meal more delicious, but only if proper food safety rules have been fol-lowed. It is important to prop-erly wash fresh produce before eating to reduce harmful mi-croorganisms 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 Re-sources.

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 wash-es the microorganisms down the drain, Albrecht said.

“It’s really just about pre-venting cross contamination,” Albrecht said. “Always use a colander or strainer so the wa-ter 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, Al-brecht 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 sur-faces, 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 microor-ganisms grow best around tem-peratures of 80 to100. Plus, your food will be crisper and of a bet-ter quality,” Albrecht said.

Leafy vegetables and toma-toes have been linked to food-borne illness outbreaks in re-cent 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.

All producers are invited to attend the Divide County Ag Improvement As-sociation’s summer crop tour which has been scheduled for Monday morn-ing, July 18. The tour will start at 8:30 a.m. and will be held at the Williston Research Extension Center’s off-sta-tion variety trial, which is located ap-proximately 4.5 miles south of Crosby on the east side of Highway 42.

Speakers will include Jeremy Peder-son, area extension agronomist, who will provide an update on the variet-ies included in the trial. Dan Wald-stein, 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 mo-saic 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 consid-ered for use as cover crops.

Located next to the off-station vari-ety trial is a Winter Cereals Sustainabil-ity in Action plot being conducted by

Ducks Unlimited. Through the support of Bayer CropScience, Ducks Unlimited is conducting research to develop new winter wheat varieties adapted to prai-rie climatic conditions and to provide growers with technical support and education.

Jason Riopel, fi eld agronomist with Ducks Unlimited, will talk about re-search being conducted as part of the project including winter wheat variet-ies, fertility and fungicide trials.

With the large amount of prevented planting in the county this year, pro-ducer interest in winter wheat is ex-pected to increase this fall. Some of the production benefi ts of winter wheat in-clude 10-30% higher yields than spring-seeded varieties, fall planting which al-lows growers to spread their workload, and it can contribute to improvements

in soil and water quality. Coffee, juice, and muffi ns 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 signifi cant increase in the over-winter population of wheat midge in Divide County and along with it an in-creased 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 de-termine if an action threshold level of midge is present in the fi eld. 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 signifi -cant 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 fl iers and don’t move far under their own power but additional midge could be attract-ed to wheat fi elds largely surrounded by prevented planting acres. Plus, midge will disperse on wind currents if they can’t fi nd a suitable host in the area where they emerge which could add additional numbers to the small number of wheat and durum fi elds that did get seeded this spring.

The Crosby NDAWN site showed a degree day accumulation of 1260 as of

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 scout-ing susceptible wheat or durum fi elds for midge problems. Wheat and durum are susceptible to midge damage from heading to early fl owering. While there wasn’t much early seeded wheat or durum, the earlier seeded wheat and durum fi elds could be heading or are close to heading.

Suggested economic threshold lev-els are one or more wheat midge for ev-ery four or fi ve 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 insecti-cides for wheat midge control. A link to this as well as links to the current midge map, and the most recent Exten-sion publication on wheat midge can be found at http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/aginfo/entomology/entupdates/in-dex.htm#Whe.

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 bet-ter. There has even been some recent research conducted that seems to support this claim sci-entifi cally within the realm of medicine. In my own research, I wasn’t able to determine the or-igin of this phrase, but there is some Biblical evidence to sup-port the idea.

The Apostle Paul, in chapter fi ve of his letter to the Romans, wrote that “…suffering produc-es endurance, and endurance produces character, and char-acter 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 suf-fering and death, but of his glo-rious 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 Chris-tians, it’s not always the case that whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Part of the

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 mo-ment. 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 bap-tism 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 suf-fered and died on our behalf, we know that the suffering we inevitably endure isn’t the end. Life is.

We are all made stronger by Christ

Watford CityMcKenzie Co. Fairgrounds

By Cecile WehrmanZoning approval for a health

and wellness center to be located near a new motel in Crosby was granted Monday by the city council, but orga-nizers were fi rst advised a lo-cation to the south might be better.

“I’m trying to slow you down just a tad because I think it could be very benefi cial,” said Mayor Les Bakken.

Bakken told council mem-bers that talks are under way in which a few members of the Clay family may work in coop-eration 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 well-ness 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 fi rm proposal, “We’re moving ahead.”

The Blue Line Club already has taken proposals from de-sign and construction fi rms, and is preparing to choose one from among three fi nalists.

Bakken said he expected there could be some determi-nation next week on whether and how the two parties might move forward with the Clay property.

The Blue Line Club present-ed the council with requested letters showing support from residential neighbors who pre-viously questioned the build-ing’s placement near their homes. Those owners have now stated they do not op-pose the development.Policing contract tabled

The council decided to ta-ble 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 Wood-ward warned that it would be a “serious mistake” for the city to dissolve its police force.

Councilman Omar Coston, one of the two police commis-sioners, agreed.

If the contract is approved, he said, “We have no more say in anything.”

Bakken disagreed.“I don’t see a downside be-

cause if it don’t work we’re right back to where we’re at now,” he said.

Coston countered that Bak-ken wants county policing be-cause it would be easier for the city, not necessarily better for the community.

With Woodward handing in her resignation from the coun-cil 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 complaintMarietta Clemens, on behalf

of a group of seven neighbors, requested the council declare a nuisance at the former Tuft-edal Chevrolet building.

“It’s a dumping ground,” she said.

Clemens presented the council with a letter and pho-tos showing eight apparently inoperable vehicles and piec-es 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 ve-hicles recently. Two winters ago, according to Clemens’ let-ter, a homeless man used one of the cars for shelter.

Bakken said if the city’s pest control contractor traps ver-min 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 prop-erty. Nonetheless, the council directed the city auditor to investigate the potential for a nuisance action against the owner, Joel Benson.

Threshing bee is backdrop for new bookAuthor to promote ‘Ripple Eff ect’ this weekend during annual show

By Cecile WehrmanMake 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, “Rip-ple 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 How-ard, of rural Wildrose, Hoover was able to use many details of threshing bee activities, while fi ctionalizing 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 in-trigued.

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 dis-parate characters who might never have otherwise come to-gether.

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 read-ers of the series will remem-ber as Helen, a woman who left her husband in fi ctional Prairie Rose after he stepped out with

another woman, named Blyss.Third is Eddie, a drifter who

fi nds himself back in North Da-kota, where years earlier he found a warm welcome.

“They’re all just kind of com-ing together during the week-end 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 de-scribe 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 per-son creates in life, and how those ripples can effect the peo-ple 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 fi rst 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 fi rst 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 “Rip-ple Effect,” is fi rst 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 sign-ings with the authors of anoth-er 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.)

FEMA tours continue as water begins to recede By Cecile Wehrman

The process of assessing fl ood 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 fl ooded roads with Federal Emergency Manage-ment Administration offi cials.

“We have a special team com-ing up today from Bismarck,” Melby said Thursday, dealing specifi cally 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 fl ooding.

“We’ll be focusing on the plac-es we need to get access to,” he

said, in-cluding at least three more resi-dences in rural Di-vide Coun-ty that have been all but cut off.

The time and paper-work nec-essary to

handle the crisis has become so extensive, Melby said, he has now hired clerical help to keep the necessary paperwork mov-ing.

“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 situa-tion 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 mea-sure 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 ex-claimed. “It’s sure helping and the water has dropped some. You can see it where the water level was -- at least Mother Na-ture is working with us a little now.”

Eventually, there will be a hard number as to the full ex-tent 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 disas-ter for years.”

Each project has to have a clear paper trail established, and those fi les must be main-tained for three years.

As of last week, damage in nine townships had been as-sessed, 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 eas-ily take all summer just to get all of the damage looked at, let alone fi xed.

Highway repairs begin; port roads reopenBy Cecile Wehrman

Repairs to ND 5 between the U.S. 85 junc-tion and Crosby got under way last week.

“It will take a while,” said Walt Peterson of the Williston District of the N.D. Depart-ment of Transportation, before all of the large potholes can be repaired.

Peterson said a continuous stretch of dry days fi nally made some of the work possi-ble 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 fl ood crisis there.

“It may have seemed like a long time,” Pe-terson said, but the delay in getting to work on repairs could not be helped.

Now that the work has started, Peter-son 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 re-main a regular feature on that highway for some time to come.

To the north, access for many Canadians

was diffi cult in recent weeks.Those roads have since reopened, ac-

cording 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.

Cecile Wehrman -- The Journal

State Highway Department crews at last have begun patching potholes on U.S. 85 west of Crosby.
