MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS
Out of the mouths of cannons

few weeks ago Wes Anderson, Director/Curator of the Barnes County Museum, dropped the ball (the ball being a lumpy dark-brown sphere about 1 in diameter) on the table around which the members of the Valley City Barnes County Museum Think Tank were seated. The ball had been found in a By Dennis box along with unreStillings lated objects. We were to examine the object and pronounce on its nature and purpose. Each of us in turn picked up the crude sphere, hefted it, turned it this way and that, scratched at it, sniffed it, and tapped it. The seam around the balls circumference was noted. Everyone agreed that the ball was probably made of metal, but it was not magnetic, nor was it attracted to a magnet. The ball seemed to be quite hard and lighter than lead. Even though the ball looked like iron, it seemed somewhat lighter than that as well. It was considered that, since the ball had a glassy look to it, it might even be ceramic. Another thought was that it might be a tungsten carbide alloy. After considerable discussion we were unable to clearly and definitively identify the object. The following Tuesday, I presented the mystery ball to the Sheyenne Valley Woodcarvers. Vernon (Cubbie) Anderson picked up the ball, turned it around in his fingers for a full two seconds, and said, Grapeshot. He was perfectly correctas follow-up

hingles is a disease caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. In fact, its actually a reawakening of an old chickenpox infection. The good news theres a vaccine to help prevent shingles known by the brand name Zostavax. Shingles usually occurs in elderly people, however, it is also possible for younger people to contract the disease. Common symptoms of shingles include a rash (usually in a band-like pattern on one side of the body), severe pain or itching, fever, headache, chills and upset stomach. Sometimes By Laurel the nerve pain can last for months or years. Thompson Very rarely, a shingles infection can lead to pneumonia, hearing problems, blindness, brain inflammation (encephalitis) or death. You cant catch shingles from other people. However, the virus can be spread by a person touching the blisters of someone who has shingles (direct contact) causing chickenpox in people who have not been vaccinated or who have not had chickenpox. A person is able to spread the virus until the blisters are covered with scabs. Only people who have had chickenpox (or the chickenpox vaccine) at some point in their lives can get shingles. The disease occurs when the chickenpox virus, which can live silently in the nervous system for decades, reawakens. This can be caused by a weakening of the immune system, most commonly from advancing age, but also from other causes such as the AIDS virus, immuno-suppressive drugs used to treat cancers and transplant recipients, and stress. Most often, cases of shingles occur among adults who are otherwise healthy. And a past infection does not make a person immune to re-infection. Shingles affects approximately 1 million Americans annually. Individuals have about a 20-30 percent chance of getting shingles during their lifetime. Approximately half

Five new blood donors help make drive a success

Verlyn Hoff, Sarah Hass, Matt Miller, and Christian Swenson. Space to hold the drive was provided at the Epworth United Methodist Church. The availability of blood is dependent on the success of blood drives held in many communities. The citizens of the Valley City area can be assured that their community is a good example of a well-run blood program. The staff of United Blood Services, on behalf of the patients who receive blood, wish to thank all who volunteered to donate blood and who helped organize the drive.

Why did Jesus have to die? I

By Ron Boatwright t is our sins that separate us from God. God will not be around sin. Isaiah 59:2 says, But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. All accountable people have sinned. Romans 3:23 says, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The death spoken of here is spiritual death which is being spiritually separated from God. God is in Heaven and anybody with unforgiven sins cannot go to Heaven and be with God. God is both a loving God, but He is also Just. Gods justice demands punishment for our sins. He could not just play like they didnt happen. We read in Romans 5:6-10, For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by

His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Christ came to this earth and lived a perfect sin-free life. If He had sinned even one time, He could not have died for us. He would have to be punished for His own sin. So we read in 2 Corinthians 5:21, For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Christ has taken our punishment, so God can now be just in saving us. And we read in 1 Peter 3:18, For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit. Christ is the just and we are the unjust. God has His plan as to how we are to be saved. We must follow Gods plan and not mans plan if we expect to be saved and go to Heaven.

and other cannons to set fire to buildings and defenses; on impact, the shell shattered, spreading its incendiary filling around the target. They were named carcasses because the circles that pass from one ring, or plate, to the other were thought to resemble the ribs of a human skeleton. The carcass shell had three openings, each three inches in diameter. Its filling burned for 11 minutes upon firing. It was especially useful during night bombardments, as the burning projectile assisted in the aiming of the cannon, hence The rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air . The carcass shell was used by the Royal Navy in the attack on Fort McHenry, birthplace of our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, during the War of 1812.

Loose cannon
A solid iron cannonball is heated red hot in a speciallydesigned furnace, then is loaded into a muzzle-loading cannon. The red-hot cannonball is cushioned by a heavy thickness of wet wads, then immediately fired at flammable targets with the intention of setting them on fire. This was a popular and successful tactic used by shorebased forts to defend against attacks by wooden warships. The adoption by most navies of iron-hulled ships generally made hot shot obsolete. It was a matter of some concern how these red-hot projectiles were transported and handled in the presence of gunpowder. Any reckless or somewhat dangerous individual who seemed to draw trouble to himself and those around him was referred to as a hot shot, giving rise to the term in common use to this day. In the days of sail, naval vessels cannons were carefully and firmly secured. The rigging of these very heavy guns might come loose if the ship began pitching about in heavy seas, and the results for the vessel and crew could prove catastrophic. Thus the expression loose cannon has come to describe a person lacking prudence or insight, whose actions and/or speech jeopardize the safety of people around him or under his authority.
Early Canada Goose licenses sold electronically
new state law requires both resident and nonresident early Canada goose season hunters to purchase a special license. All resident hunters, regardless of age, must buy a $5 early Canada goose season license, in addition to having a general game and habitat license. Residents age 16 and older also need a small game license. Nonresidents must purchase a $50 early Canada goose license. The license is valid statewide, and does not have a limit on the number of days a nonresident can hunt. Nonresidents under age 16 as of Sept. 1 qualify for the resident rate if their state has a reciprocal youth licensing agreement with North Dakota. A federal duck stamp is required beginning Sept. 1 for hunters age 16 and older.
Early goose season licenses are only available through electronic purchase, either online at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov; by calling (800) 406-6409; or at license vendors in counties that are linked to the Game and Fish Departments online licensing system. In counties that are not on the Game and Fish system, the licenses are not available with the paper general hunting licenses. County auditors and all their authorized license vendors that are part of the Game and Fish Department electronic licensing system are: Adams, Benson, Bottineau, Bowman, Burleigh, Cass, Dickey, Grand Forks, Grant, McIntosh, Mercer, Morton, Ramsey, Rolette, Sargent, Stark, Steele, Stutsman, Walsh, Ward and Williams.

hen I go out on hot summer days, I often trade my bottle of water for a cool cucumberor two, or three. The clean flavor and crunch make cucumbers much more satisfying and thirst quenching, not to mention more nutritious, than plain old wateror even newfangled vitamin water.
Secrets of a seasonal cook Cool cucumbers for hot August days

Cucumber skin contains large amounts of caffeic acid, an antioxidant that mops up free radicals and prevents cell damage. The skin also contains high amounts of fiber, potassium, magnesium and silica.
Quick and Easy to Prepare
A Tall, ColdCucumber?
Healthy Inside and Out
Because cucumbers are mostly water, they are refreshing and cooling. Once thought to be largely devoid of nutrients, food scientists have found that cucumbers do in fact have significant amounts of nutrients, especially in their skins. For starters, they contain vitamins C and A, folic acid, iron, potassium, manganese, and silica. Silica works synergistically with calcium and vitamin D to increase collagen production, promoting healthy skin and connective tissueso go ahead and put those cucumber slices on your eyes like they did in the old movies! In addition, cucumbers are a good source of molybdenumwhich is not only fun to say, but is vital for many brain functions, including memory. Finally, cucumbers are one of the very few vegetables that contain the amino acid tryptophan, which can convert into the neurotransmitter serotonin, and may function as a natural mood-lifter and appetite-curb.
Local farmers often grow heirloom cucumbers, bred for flavor, not for travelling long distances or staying on store shelves for weeks. These varieties have thin skins, and are super-easy to prepare. Try slicing them for sandwiches or salads, or eating them on their own, like an apple or carrot. Here are a few quick serving ideas: Make a cold gazpacho soup by putting cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers (sweet and/or hot) and onions in a food processor. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Add diced cucumber to tuna fish or chicken salad Slice thinly, and make a cucumber salad with a few thin slices of sweet onion, a

One-house legislature critics have weak case

I
f the one-house legislature is so good, why havent other states followed Nebraskas example? That was a common argument raised by opponents of a one-house system for North Dakota. There is a good answer for that criticism. In half of the states, the legislature is the only means by which a constitutional amendment can be proposed to provide for a one-house legislature. And you can bet that the legislators in those states arent By Lloyd going to propose an amendment that Omdahl would cost half of them their seats in the legislature. In the other half of the states, including North Dakota, the people could initiate an amendment to provide for a one-house legislature. However, a one-house legislature offers no particular benefits to any special group so motivation for an initiative campaign is missing. A proposal for a one-house legislature was soundly repudiated along with a new constitution in 1972. Being on the same ballot with the unpopular new constitution, the one-house proposal was not given a true public discussion because the constitution dominated the debate. After 40 years, it may be time to look again. It would be easier for lobbyists to influence a smaller number of legislators. A one-house legislature Family treasures... would be more transparent rediscovered! with better media coverage and there would no longer be buck passing between houses. That would make legislators more accountable to their constituents and less responsive to lobbyists. Actually, the present two-house system provides Fabulous gifts... lobbyists with too many

opportunities to manipulate the two bodies. They can play one house against the other; they can try different stories in the different houses. It is easier to influence a senate of 47 than a unicameral with 80 members. We need a second house to kill the bad bills. First, we need to acknowledge that the definition of a bad bill is a point of view. My good bill may be your bad bill. With increased scrutiny in a transparent legislative process, there would be fewer bills introduced and even fewer so-called bad bills. Even if a bad bill were passed, the governor has a veto with which he/she can kill bad bills. And if we should have a governor who cant tell a bad bill from a good bill, the people can suspend bad legislation through the referral process. But the U. S. Congress has two houses. The Congress represents two constituencies. Theoretically, the Senate represents the states and the House represents the people. That is the real reason the national government has two houses. On the other hand, states are not federations but unitary governments that represent one constituency the people. This was underscored when the Supreme Court said that both houses of state legislatures must represent, not counties or cities, but people in equal numbers. The Nebraska unicameral is nonpartisan, thereby failing to recognize the importance of parties. Nonpartisanship need not be a part of the unicameral. Parties are important for two reasons: partisan elections force parties to assume collective responsibility for legislative decisions and parties organize the legislative system. In a study of state legislatures, the Nebraska unicameral ranked ninth and would have ranked first if it had the benefit of party organization. The unicameral has been successfully used in all provinces of Canada except one. All major cities in the United States some with budgets and responsibilities greater than states have unicameral governing bodies. Even though a unicameral makes good sense, adoption in North Dakota is at best a remote possibility. However, stranger things have happened in democracies.

OPINION: ROB PORT
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By tradition and by law, Congress recesses for the month of August, reads an article about the history of Americas legislative branch on the US Senates official website. For years the Senate struggled with how to stay in session, debating often mundane policy via arcane procedural maneuvering, By Rob in the steamy late-summer Port climate. In 1970, finally facing the reality of long sessions, Congress mandated a summer break as part of the Legislative Reorganization Act. Today, the August recess continues to be a regular feature of the Senate schedule--a chance for senators to spend time with family, meet with constituents in their home states, and catch up on summer reading, the website explains. The most important part of the August recess is that part about meeting with constituents. Per recent history, such meetings can inspire monumental changes. The 2010 and 2012 election cycles brought major changes to North Dakota politics. After decades of the states federal offices being dominated by Team North
Using the avoidance tactic Getting to the problems source for Augusts town halls
From Richard Betting Valley City Dakota - Senators Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan as well as Rep. Earl Pomeroy - the state saw three new faces fill those seats, including Republicans for the first time since 1987. Those changes took place at the ballot box during election years, but the seeds for the change were sown, I and many others believe, in the first summer recess of the 111th Congress in August of 2009. It was the first summer of the Obama presidency. The economy was in chaos, the bailouts for the auto and financial industries were inspiring angst and the nation was just beginning what would be a tumultuous debate over what would become the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare as both supporters and critics call it today. But something else had happened earlier that year. Inspired in part by a righteous rant by CNBC talking head Rick Santelli, citizens calling themselves the tea party began to organize and protest around the country. Including in North Dakota. And the impact of the movement in North Dakota was profound. After years on cruise control, Team North Dakota
hat are the reasons for the rise of Devils Lake over the past twenty years? That should be one of the questions asked in any discussion of Devils Lake water issues. But those who listened to Prairie Publics Main Street radio program July 23 were disappointed if they were hoping to get an answer to the question about causes of Devils Lake flooding. By the end of Doug Hamiltons interview with Devils Lake mayor Richard Johnson the words wetland drainage and thousands of drained acres had not even been uttered. Rather, Mayor Johnson stated that their goal was to get water off the lake. At a meeting in Cooperstown in 2010 Col. Michael Price, US Army Corps of LETTER TO THE EDITOR: 18 Engineers St. Paul District commander, stated that orthwesterN there are only two ways to deal with water on Devils NdustrIes Lake, Either you work to get water off the lake or you Cleverly hidden in the prevent water from getting 70-ft long yellow building on to the lake in the first place.

downstream rather than prevention in the first place. As Mayor Johnson stated in his interview, over $1.6 billion has been spent dealing with results of water on the lake. Almost none has been spent on storage. So the Main Street program failed to mention that over 350,000 acres of upper Devils Lake basin wetlands have been drained, helping over 600,000 acre-feet of water flow into the lake in both 2009 and 2011, for example. When the results of drainage continue to be the focus, the actual problems will never be dealt with effectively. The situation will only get worse. One of the worst results could be the erosion of the Tolna Coulee and the lowering of the entire Devils Lake system twelve feet, from 1458 feet above mean sea level to 1446 feet msl. Over two million acrefeet of water would flow into the Sheyenne River as a result. Worse, perhaps, the

NORTH DAKOTA OUTDOORS
Modern amenities make fishing now a walk in the park N

ot surprisingly, my youngest daughter, age 6, considers me as old, and Id guess that most kids look at mom and dad in the same way, no matter the age of the parent. On the positive side, I find myself enjoying the added knowledge that comes from experiences along the way. And a visit with others By with more experience Doug Leier than I is a perfect opportunity to learn. Earlier this summer, I was visiting with a couple of wise (older) friends after a nice meal of reservoir walleyes, pike and perch. This particular small reservoir is one of many man-made lakes scattered across North Dakota, and Ive fished them in all corners, from Patterson Lake to McGregor Dam, Wilson Dam, Dead Colt Creek and others. Starting decades ago, government entities and local groups changed the landscape of North Dakota with small impoundments on rivers, streams and creeks. Flood control, recreation, irrigation and economics of different priorities all factored into construction of these reservoirs, and dozens were created from the 1950s through 1980s. In casual conversations I learned that the land for Lake LaMoure in LaMoure County, where I have spent a fair amount of time since my youth, was bought many years ago for just over $600,000, and recent repair work to just the emergency spillway cost over $2 million. Talk about inflation! We also touched on the changing times and how the process for creating one of these small reservoirs today is much more involved. Thats not necessarily good or bad, it just means that not many Brewer Lakes or Homme Dams will be added to the landscape in the coming decades. The conversation with long-time friends Ron and Alan turned to fishing in the good old days, which proved equally as compelling. Id just finished loading dads boat and checking out the dock, concrete ramp and adjacent fishing pier, all in excellent user condition, and available to make a 21stcentury fishing outing quite a bit more convenient than it might have been in the past. Before Lake LaMoure existed, Alan explained how every Sunday hed pack up the family for an afternoon of shorefishing and picnicking along the James River, and how few good spots there were to catch fish, let alone comfortable place to take a family. That made me think of how good we anglers of today really have it. Modern amenities make fishing now sometimes feel like a literal walk in the park. While there is a level of accomplishment with overcoming natural obstacles and grasping willow branches to pull yourself up the bank with a rod, net, tackle box, lunch and a child hanging on for dear life, its also nice to have fishing piers, shoreline access areas and quality boat ramps. The fact is, Id guess my friends wouldnt necessarily consider the old days as the good old days for fishing.
Theres no such things as a bad day of fishing.

That designation probably fits today. Just recently, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department reported a record number of fishing licenses issued in 2012. That due primarily to a record number of fishing lakes, many created naturally in the last 20 years, and good fishing success all around, from Sakakawea to Devils Lake to Lake LaMoure. While theres no shortage of excuses to keep from fishing as summer

off into the nearby ravine. After that disappointment, his presence was that of a ghost. I had one image where it appeared to be half of his antlers in the frame, followed a month later by that mid-December photo. But evidence after that moment was scant and I clung to the hope that hed survive the extended winter and show up to continue the chase again. To build suspense as I returned home, I put the card from my back-up hunting site in the computer first. 549 pictures were by and large of a young doe and her two fawns hitting the mineral lick multiple times each day and an old ragged doe and her single fawn stopping by once in a while. There was one shot of a small eight-point buck, but he would be the only antlered visitor. With a mental drum roll, I slid the second card in and began clicking through the 443 photos from the last four weeks. Bucks of all sizes, in all stages of antler development flashed before me on the screen. Nubby spikes and forks with velvet antler bulbs popping out between their ears, basket-racked seven- and eightpointers, and one from the first weekend in July with amazing brow tines that towered over the developing main beams which might produce eight, or even ten tines, filled the first weeks worth of pictures on the memory card. I right-clicked and saved the best photo of the deer with the big brows and continued on through July. Eight days later, he returned to the lick, his antlers exhibiting rapid YOUR EQUIPMENT RENTAL HEADQUARTERS growth. I cycled through

I couldnt be certain from the photos that this was the large eight-pointer from the season before, but based on the uniformity of the rack and the slightly knife-like left brow tine, I figured it probably was. I wrote down the date and time of the evening appearance in my deer hunting journal, along with a notation of the tall eight-pointer with the black-tipped tail who accompanied this years top deer and saved the photo to my hard drive. I ran back through the pictures several times, which showed an even split between does and bucks and confirmed the sites status as my number one for this fall. I pulled up pictures of the ten-pointer and those of the large eight-pointer from the year before clicking back and forth to pick out any similarities. I finally concluded that it was the same deer, based on the uniformity and growth of his rack. But I wont deny that the decision was influenced by months of pent up wonderings and hope that he would make it to another season in our outdoors. wears on, a quick visit with anglers of any experience, and youll soon realize theres no such things as a bad day of fishing.

was getting the feeling that their constituents had fallen out of love with them. Senators Dorgan and Conrad were treated to heated criticism from voters in communities both large and small, in venues like nursing homes and fire stations, across the state. Rep. Earl Pomeroy didnt even bother with town halls, opting instead for a tele-town hall held via Jarrod Lindemann telephone(more on that in a moment). Cell: 701-793-0626 Later, Senator Dorgan would decide not to run for 11647 Paul Lindemann 33rd St SE reelection, opening the door for then-Governor John Cell: 701-799-4359 Valley City, Hoeven to steamroll the placeholder candidate Democrats www.northvalleyaircraft.com ND 58072 put up in his place. Rep. Earl Pomeroy decided to run anyway (after no small amount of behind-the-scenes armtwisting, insiders have said), and was defeated handily by longtime state Rep. Rick Berg. Quality TION In 2012 Senator Kent Conrad opted for retirement too. C U R NST Comes First O Conrad and Dorgan gave a lot of reasons, publicly, for C ERT KIEF why they didnt run, but those August town halls absolutely figured into their calculus. Rep. Pomeroys attempt to avoid those town halls, too, was a data point proving just what a sea change moment that hot summer of protest was. VALLEY CITY Which brings us to 2013. In the summer of her first 845-0760 term in office, Senator Heidi Heitkamp has announced a town hall, but not the in-person sort where constitu490-0443 ents are invited to come and question their Senator on any topic on their minds.

seems Heitkamp is engaging in an updated version of the avoidance Pomeroy practiced in 2010. North Dakotans should expect more from Heitkamp. From Senator Hoeven and Rep. Kevin Cramer too (the former hasnt held an in-person town hall as Senator yet, the latter hasnt announced any for his first August recess). As recent history has shown, these events are important. And in the right circumstances, they can have far-reaching impact. The standard for our elected leaders should be regular, in-person meetings with constituents, or else voters will find different candidates who will live up to that standard. few splashes of rice vinegar, a few drops of sesame oil, and a little salt and pepper And, yes, water makes up 90 percent of a cucumbers weight, which makes them low in calories and good for making sure youre hydrated.

The authors trail camera caught this ten point buck visiting an area near his favorite bow stand. Based on the antlers and other identifiers, it may be the deer the author pursued last season.
ith another cold front diving south into the great plains, bringing gusty north winds and autumnlike highs in the sixties, it felt fitting that I was on my way out to swap the memory cards on my trail cameras this weekend. While the calendar still read July, the air had a distinct late September feeling to it and the crisp blue skies created the sense that bow hunting season was closer than it appeared. It was my first trip into the field since I had hung the cameras just before Independence Day and I was excited to see what my set of eyes on the areas I hunt would reveal. My two trailcams were positioned over small mineral licks, created to hold visiting deer just long enough to set off the infrared detector and get caught on candid camera. When I checked them both, the displays registered 443 and 549 pictures. A good number of photos had been taken since they were put in place, and my excitement grew on the drive home to view the photos on my computer, with my thoughts turning to the large eight-pointer that I had pursued most of last season. The last I had seen of him was a blurry night picture dated December 10, right near the end of muzzleloader season in my hunting unit. My cameras had helped me track his movements mostly nocturnal throughout the previous season, and he became the deer I held out for on dozens of bow hunts, until I took a wounded nine-pointer during the firearms season. Throughout late summer and fall, he would make the occasional appearance, once, in broad daylight, trotting down the trail, but more frequently stopping by the mineral lick late at night. One evening, just minutes after the end of legal light, he charged right up to my treestand as I was getting ready to leave and he busted me with a quick snort and a dash
