THIS IS VALLEY CITY
Food Expo held for Booster Club
concession food expo was held at the Hi-Liner Activity Center (HAC) on Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013
for all Hi-Liner Booster Club Board members,
Valley City Public School administrative staff, PTO officers
and students. The expo was offered as a way to introduce
fast and easy healthy foods and recipes that can be made
in a concession stand and will help increase profits.
Those in attendance enjoyed a variety of samples including shredded pork on a whole grain bun, baked potato
with chili or veggies and cheese, chicken fajita, sub sandwiches, fruit smoothies and much more!
Martin Bratrud, Valley City High School Activities Director, praised the Hi-Liner Booster Club for the wonderful concession stand they have established at the HAC and
then reviewed the new VCPS wellness policy standards for
concession stands with the group.
The expo was coordinated by Sue Milender, LRD, NDSU
Extension Agent-Barnes County and Andrea Winter, LRD
with Young Peoples Healthy Heart Program at Mercy Hospital through a Barnes ON THE MOVE Partnership grant
funded by the North Dakota Cancer Coalition (NDCC).
We know the Hi-Liner Boosters already have a great
concession stand, stated Sue Milender, but we wanted to
offer them new ideas we hope they will consider serving
in addition to their regular menu to help them increase
profits as well as support healthy eating.
The Fuel Up to Play 60 team of students at the high
school also tasted samples and then helped serve at the
event.

YOUR HEALTH
Set your New Years

Resolution to exercise
M
Sadly, less than 20% of adults meet

the 30 minutes of recommended
activity each day. It doesnt have to be
difficult, there are plenty of ways to
build more activity into your routine
each day. You dont have to join a
gymjust three 10 minutes walks
around the block can make a difference! Do what you can because some
physical activity is better than none!
Setting a goal is also a great way to
stay motivated. Research shows that
people who set a physical activity goal
are more likely to meet their goal and
it also is a great way to measure how
you are doing. Chart your progress!
Once your reach your goal, reward
yourself by getting a massage, buy a
new book, rent a movie, or get a new
pair of running shoes.
ON THE MOVE started January
1st and is here to help you find ways
to increase your physical activity this
winter. The program offers tips, support and incentives.
There are two types of membership.
The FREE membership is for people
who are already exercising on their
own and would like support, motivational emails and healthy tips to continue with their current routine. Just
set a physical activity goal and join.
The $12 membership is for people
who are looking for new opportunities for physical activity. This membership includes classes and TRY IT
sessions. It also includes wonderful
incentives such as free access to
Curves in January, the Fitness Center
in February, Snap Fitness in January
and March on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-7 pm, as well as a host
of other enticements! There is also a
family rate.
ON THE MOVE is here for YOU!
Start the New Year right and join the
fun! Get a group of co-workers or
friends together and give ON THE
MOVE a try this year! Register online
at barnesonthemove.org or call 8456456 for more information. Feel the

I would like to invite you to join

you to set a physical activity goal and
will give you the support you need.
Regular physical activity can reduce
your risk of certain cancers, reduce
your risk of heart disease, stroke and
diabetes, help control your weight
and help improve your mental health
and mood.
Still need convincing? Exercising
can even help you live longer! Regular
exercise will also help you be sick less

The Victorian period is noted for the wild

kind of receiver applicable to the kind of
poison desired to be extracted or removed
from the human system.
The application of the different receivers is made to the negative electrode, and
the positive electrode is applied to any
suitable part of the body. When the current is turned on, it will run down from
the neck or other suitable place through
the patients body and will pull or draw
out the poison at the negative pole and
deposit it on the copper plate. From six to
eight treatments of a half an hour each in
duration will generally extract all of the
poison of whatever kind it may be, and the
copper plate will show as bright and clear
as it was at first. The copper plate or other
receiver may be applied to any part of the
human body where poison may
be found.

Authors Note: This dog nuisance
patent may be mad, but its not all that
funny. The use of a line current could
injure or kill a dog, especially a smaller
one. More seriously, young boys are wont
to relieve themselves after dark in alleys
along the walls of buildings. (A friend
of mine, my own age, still remembers
some 60 years laterhis favorite alley
locations for this activity. It probably has
something to do with marking territory.)
Shocking Bed Bugs
Where are bed bugs found?
Bed bugs have been found in five-star

hotels and resorts and their presence is not
determined by the cleanliness of the living
conditions where they are found.
Bed bugs hide during the day in places
such as seams of mattresses, box springs,
bed frames, headboards, dresser tables,
inside cracks or crevices, behind wallpaper, or any other clutter or objects around
a bed. They tend to live within 8 feet of
where people sleep.

Heitkamp congratulates Valley

City teachers recognized
.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today congratulated

two North Dakota educators who received the
Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics
and Science Teaching.
Kristine Brandt, who teaches at Ben Franklin Middle
School in Fargo, and Kathleen Lentz, who teaches at
Washington Elementary School in Valley City, will each
receive a $10,000 award and are invited to an award ceremony in Washington, D.C.
Kristine and Kathleen are incredibly deserving of this
very prestigious award, said Heitkamp. Countless North
Dakota students have benefited from the selfless dedication of both of these teachers, as well as the countless
other teachers across North Dakota. Its imperative that
we as a nation focus on improving our kids math and science skills to help put our students on a path toward solid,
higher paying jobs, and help our country continue to innovate. We are so fortunate to have excellent educators in
North Dakota, like Kristine and Kathleen, who are helping
to make that vision possible.
Brandt and Lentz were two of just 102 teachers selected this year. The Presidential Award for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching is awarded annually to
outstanding K-12 science and mathematics teachers from

Boxcar Children mysteries birthed

by teacher Gertrude Chandler Warner
By Linda Grotberg
randma, my 94-year-old
mom, and I are captivated listening to The Boxcar Children
Mysteries. The series was written in
the 1940s by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Born in Putnam, Connecticut, on
April 16, 1890, Gertrude dreamed of
becoming an author. She wrote stories for her Grandfather Carpenter,
and each Christmas she gave him one
of these stories as a gift. Today, Warner is best remembered as the author
of The Boxcar Children Mysteries.
One day when she was sick, Gertrude Chandler Warner had to stay
home from teaching, and the Boxcar
Children stories were born. Inspired
by her childhood dreams, she had
spent hours watching the trains go by
near her familys home. Often looking
through the window of a caboose,
Gertrude would see a small stove, a
little table, cracked cups with no sau-
cers, and a tin coffee pot boiling away

on the stove. The sight had fascinated
her, and made her dream how much
fun it would be to live and keep house
in a boxcar or caboose. When she
returned to classes, she read the story
to her students. Some of her pupils
spoke other languages at home, and
were just learning English at school.
Gertrude rewrote The Boxcar Children many times until it was easy to
understand, giving her students a fun
story that was easy to read.
Now, listening to the book in our
kitchen, Grandma and I are reliving
our own childhood, living alongside
the railroad track and riding the
train.
The Restoration Committee met
at the Midland Depot one foggy evening this December to hear how Bob
Peterson would restore the Caboose.
The hour passed quickly as we sat in
the big waiting room listening to Bob
as he explained how they would un-
hook the wooden structure from the

steel undercarriage, lift the caboose
with a tele-handler, set it on his trailer
to haul to his farm shop, and work on
it there. So intent were we by his story
and our own memories, we were
startled when a cell phone rang as if
by a ghost of Midland past.
As the Wimbledon Community
Museum begins the restoration project on the only remaining Midland
Continental caboose, I can imagine
how much fun the Peterson grandkids will have as they become boxcar
children helping their Grandpa Bob
and his friend Greg Plumb restore the
caboose!
I look forward to telling your stories of Riding the Caboose in this
column. Email me at lindag@daktel.

We have passed through Advent and

how our Savior came to us. Jesus was
born into a family and judged by Herod
that he should die so they fled to Egypt
(Matthew 2:13-18). How could this child

As Jesus grew older and began his public
ministry, he was accused of throwing
away the law not being a lawgiver (Matthew 15:1-9). How could this teacher

*******************
Along about the year
1900 Enderlin began to feel
the need of some means of
supplying the city with a
good supply of good water.
Prior to that time our only
supply was from shallow
surface wells, which became easily contaminated
and there was constant
anxiety that a disastrous
fire might overtake us with
no sufficient supply of
water with which to fight it.
As is always the case there
were those in our midst
who fought vigorously
against any plan which
would increase taxes and
suggestions to bond the
town were always cried
down. After deciding that
the municipality would do
nothing in the matter for
some time at least, a party
of six men living in the

to have a system of their

OPINION: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Should we really give the power to

send our troops overseas to the UN?
From Duane Stahl

Valley City
ince World War II we have continuously been in war-like actions, none

declared by Congress as the Constitution requires. Why?
Following the World Wars, people were
willing to try anything to avoid another,
so only two Senators opposed joining the
United Nations. One, Bill Langer of North
Dakota, said, The UN would have the authority to send our boys all over the world.
Langer had read the UN Charter, including Article 25 (The members of the
United Nations agree to accept and carry
out the decisions of the Security Council...
and Article 43 ( All members of the United
Nations...undertake to make available to
the Security Council on its call...armed
forces, assistance, and facilities...).
In 1945 Congress passed the United
Nations Participation Act (UNPA) to give
the President the power (without Congress) to send troops wherever the UN
decided. One congressman noted, This
measure gives congressional authority for
surrendering the American people to an
all-powerful world government.
Weve used UN authority (and NATO
and SEATO, which are part of it Articles
51-54) to be involved in Korea (never
settled), Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Somalia, and others. To what gain?
Also, the UN continues to acquire power
in nearly every phase of human existence.
Georgia Representative Paul Broun has
introduced the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (HR 75) to repeal the UNPA
and end our UN membership in two years.
This measure deserves the support of all
who value freedom and independence.
Contact your Senators and Representative (simple onlinejust type their names)
and ask them to support or cosponsor HR
75.

one-room settings. For

that reason, as well as
consolidating maintenance
expenses, four consolidated
schoolhouses with four
large classrooms were built
in Barnes County. Green
Consolidated School is the
last one still standing today.
After attending a community meeting in Green
Consolidated last year, and
taking a good look around
the building and grounds,
it became unquestionably
clear that something needs
to be done.
Since its closure over 20
years ago, Green has been
sitting idle with minimum
maintenance. Harsh prairie

climates and its absence of
usefulness have contributed to its declining state.
Random break-ins and
vandalism have also been
a problem. As rural living
diminished, the old schoolhouse is now in a vulnerable and challenging setting
out of sight, out of mind.
Now the community is
wondering what they might
be able to do with it.
As maintenance issues
continue to stack up, it
makes it harder to justify

Could Green Consolidated

School be rejuvenated?
t has come to my attention that

there are again plans in the works
between some Chamber of Commerce personnel and our city contractor for yet another unconnected
bike path in this city if significant
grant money is obtained for the
project.
This is in addition to the three
bike paths we have now which have
observed little use since built during
the summer months, the only time
they are viable. This is not counting
the additional extension through the
Pioneers Park lower portion connecting to the recently completed, but so
far unused, 9th Ave. N.W. bike path
from Main Street to 12th St. near the
airport.
The other two are the one up 5th
Ave N.E. past the pits and the one
going UP from the College Bubble to
the suburbs on Katheryn Road.
Although I and others have noted
occasional foot traffic on these bike

paths over the years, few have seen
bike riders! Has an accurate count
ever been made as to bike usage on
these paths, divided by two of course.
They have to go home!
The new path, which would require
considerable dirt removal along the
river bank in some areas to complete
would roughly go along the river in
the area from the old mill to the city
park, past the Audie and the Armory
(which contains many stationary
bikes in the exercise center.)
I personally had hoped to see a
RiverWALK path along that area
like in many cities such as Elkheart,
Ind. for example. I am sure you can
see that on their web site or obtain
pictures from them. No bikes allowed
with pedestrians. It is dangerous as it
is here.
It would appear the proposed dirt
removal would bring the bike path
that much closer to any floods on the
river and might require considerable
city expense to maintain and repair if
necessary.
Grants usually require matching

funds of some kind by the recipient, in this case the city. Even if not,
expense to maintain it if anything
happens to the bike path.
There is even speculation that it
might require that the skate board
park be removed. Although relatively
little used also even in summer, it was
a considerable expense!
I believe that if this project continues that much more due diligence
needs to be made on whether this
additional relatively short, but expensive, bike path needs to be made? Is
the additional Quality of Life worth
it?
Comments by the citizens are
welcome.

Congrats Bison
T
he North Dakota
State University
Bison Football team
won their third straight
national championship
over the weekend. It was an
emotional victory, capping
a perfect season that many
see as a fitting farewell to
coach Craig Bohl who,
earlier this year, signed a
lucrative new contract to
coach in Wyoming.
North Dakotans are
proud of the team and the
accomplishment, and why
not? Its good to admire
excellence in any endeavor,
and the Bison football team
went beyond excellence.
They achieved perfection.
But as the celebrations
die down, its appropriate
to turn our attention to the
cost. Our state universities were, after all, founded
for the pursuit of education and academics, not to
serve as sponsors for sports
teams.
Some argue that successful sports programs can be
a boon to the academic side
of universities, but those
sort of claims are hard to
swallow.
Its been a mechanism
for getting people to look
at NDSU in a different
light, NDSU President
Dean Bresciani told a state
newspaper reporter of his
institutions football dominance last week. Theyre
looking at us as the major
research university that
weve always been. But people in some senses didnt
believe it until they saw us
on [ESPNs college football
program]GameDay and
thats gotten them to look
at the university and its
academic programs in the
same light as some of the
biggest and best universi-
ties in the nation.

Because thats what the
average College GameDay
viewer is thinking about.
Ill bet they have a really
good academic program.
Cue the rolled eyeballs.
Does athletic achievement bring additional
resources a university can
use for academics? Thats
a popular notion, but it
seems more myth than fact.
From 2005 through 2011,
the last year for which the
Knight Commission on
Intercollegiate Athletics has
numbers, North Dakota
State University increased
academic spending per full
time equivalent student by
32 percent, but increased
institutional spending per
athlete by 95 percent.
In 2011 NDSU spent
roughly 2.11 times more
per athlete than student,
up from about 1.5 times
more per athlete in 2005.
In dollars thats $9,382 per
student, and $33,973 per
athlete in 2011.

those numbers represent.

Patent No. 616,049. ELECTRICAL

BEDBUG-EXTERMINATOR (Application
filed February 7, 1898.)
This invention relates to bedbugexterminators; and it consists of electrical devices applied to bedsteads in such
a manner that currents of electricity will
be sent through the bodies of the bugs,
which will either kill them or startle them,
so that they will leave the bedstead. The
electrical devices used consist of a battery,
induction-coil, a switch, and a number of
circuits leading to various locations on the
bedstead, where are placed suitable circuitterminals, arranged so that the bugs in
moving about will close the circuit through
their own bodies.
The space c2 [see illustration] between
the rings is such that a bug in crossing
from one to the other must close the circuit through its own body, and thus receive
a current of electricity. If these rings are
placed on a leg of the bedstead, an insect
in climbing up will when it receives the
shock more than likely change its mind
and return in the direction whence it
came. Another location where the contacts
would be particularly efficient is at the
joints between the side pieces and the head
and foot boards. A perspective of such a
joint is shown in Fig. 3. A pair of insulated
contact-strips e and e is placed along each
of the continuous edges of the joint and
surrounding the joint on all sides. The polarities of these strips are so arranged that
a positive and negative strip will be next to

ND OUTDOORS: from 11
Since then, more than 150,000 people have taken the

course in North Dakota.
Another statistic that stands out is class participation.
About 30 percent are adults, and 34 percent are women.
Hunter education is for hunters of any and all ages.
When I assist with local courses, I find myself learning
along with students and instructors alike.
Those who suggest they know all about gun safety
through prior training or experience will also find the
comprehensive course includes wildlife management
concepts, biology and the ethical and moral aspects of
becoming a well-rounded hunter
Plain and simple, hunter education is making the outdoors a safer venue for all. The thousands of safe hunters
across the prairie would not want to jeopardize those
statistics, and there is a degree of comfort in knowing that
most hunters in the field have been through the curriculum meeting standards from the International Hunter
Education Association.
Leier is a former game warden, hunter education
instructor and outreach biologist for the Game and Fish
Department. He can be reached by email: dleier@nd.gov.
of classes but that wont

necessarily mean more
primary care physicians for
smaller communities unless
those seats are filled with
students who come with a
community orientation.
We need an admission
policy that dedicates half of
the seats to students from
communities in North
Dakota. As stated earlier in
this column, a student from
Killdeer or Finley is more
likely to practice in Killdeer
or Finley than someone
from Sioux Falls, Minneapolis or another country.
Bribery isnt necessary.
Once admitted, all students should be exposed
to primary care practice.
Look at the University of
Minnesota-Duluth.
According to Dr. Robin
Michaels, since Duluths
first graduating class in
alumni have chosen family

practice. North Dakota
hasnt achieved half that.
Michaels explains that
medical students at Duluth
are teamed up with two
family physicians, one in
Duluth and one in a rural
setting. They then have a
weeklong visit with their
rural partner early in their
education experience.
The location of residencies is also important.
North Dakota has four sites
for residencies but they
are underutilized as far as
family practice candidates
are concerned. We can
argue about the degree
of usage but the bottom
line is the same no matter
whose figures we believe:
there are not enough family
physicians in North Dakota
residencies.
We are 12 years away
from physicians trained in
the new Med School building. Besides, more students

wont mean more family
practitioners if we keep doing what we are doing.
In the short term, we
should look at physician
assistants and nurse practitioners for quick solutions.
Starting with their present
education and experience,
registered nurses and other
medical staffers could complete either program and be
practicing in two or three
years.
Not only should we
aggressively recruit candidates for these disciplines
but we should offer them
full financial support to
make their participation
possible make them an
offer they cant refuse.
It seems that more feet
must be put to the fire if
this shortage of medical
professionals is going to be
solved.
GREEN: from 14 beaten track, sitting significantly away
long-term future plan or purpose. If Green

School could somehow generate income,
its preservation could be ongoing. But
maintaining the pretty old schoolhouse
without a vision tends to make the structure more of a burden rather than an asset.
In the western part of the state, on I84, there are a couple of old abandoned
schoolhouses and churches that are visible
from the freeway. Of course, the beautiful architecture got my curiosity. On one
particular trip, I pulled off and inquired
into it, soon discovering it was owned by
an individual who didnt really care about
the historical value, simple purchasing
the property for the value of the land and
for the parking for his heavy equipment.
With every schoolhouse visible from the
freeway, there are probably many more just
like it off the beaten track.
Green Consolidated School is off the
from the main flow of traffic. But if more

people could see this beautiful old schoolhouse, it is easy to say there would be more
like me who would share in the excitement
of good ideas toward preservation. Leaving
Green School where it stands today and
keeping it preserved would be what most
of us would like to see happen. But since
that doesnt seem to be the most viable option, moving it nearer to the freeway and
giving it a purpose is what will probably
save it.
With the expansion of the John Deere
Plant considered on one of our crucial
freeway access ramps, maybe negotiating
a nice antique tractor exhibit using the
Green School as a soup and sandwich shop
could be something to consider.
Theres a new bakery coming in Valley City. Perhaps they could supply local
baked goods for the new sandwich shop,
too. Just some food for thought.

The cultural symbol of the Folkdrkt or folk dress is
explored and used as a metaphor to demonstrate change
across time-change in womens roles and change in communities. The exhibit features illuminated folk dress made
from mylar drafting film, illuminated photos printed on
mylar, short film works, spoken word, and transparent
photos. One of the exhibits goals is to create new forms of
folk art which are rooted in traditional folk art forms and
yet are completely contemporary in choice of material and
presentation.
Johnson received numerous scholarships for room,
board, tuition, and plane fare to Sweden where she learned
to speak the Swedish language after an initial exposure
to the language at the Concordia College Adult Swedish
camps at Bemidji, Minnesota. She had been raised to be
Swedish in the US and had been instructed by her grandmother that the family was Swedish. She began to wonder
what does this mean to be Swedish in the US, especially
so long after emigration has occurred. Johnson is mainly
third-generation Swedish in the US.

What clearly makes sense about the coming of Christ
and this passage in Isaiah is the second part of the verse.
It is he who will save us. Jesus is our judge, which is why
He knew He had to live a perfect life as our substitute. Our
Lord is a just judge and sin must be dealt with, and it was
dealt with by Jesus taking on flesh and living a perfect life
on our behalf. The judge knew what was required and paid
the price because he was the one who would save us.
Jesus is our lawgiver in that He reminded us of the true
teaching of the law given in the Old Testament and made
clear a New Testament in His blood. This Testament tells
us that those who receive his sacrifice for themselves
would have forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness. Jesus is our king but while on the earth he
made clear that his kingdom was not of this world. He is
the king of a kingdom that will never fall or crumble. His
kingdom is forever.
I pray that having looked at Jesus Christ born as a baby
we would see that amazing resemblance. Jesus is the Lord.
When he comes again there is not much of a chance of
mistaking Jesus Christ for another. He will be in his glory
and every knee shall bow down. Take a close look at Jesus.
He looks like the Lord because that is who he is!
