For more information, contact Kelly Wambach at 299-5511 extension 6731 or go on the website www.hcscconline. org/events. The German feather trees workshop is November 23 at 1:00. The fee is $25 and participants are asked to bring scissors and pliers. Feather trees are goose feathers wrapped on wire to create the look of an evergreen tree. They became popular in Germany in the late 1800s and later in the US as the first artificial Christmas tree. Participants will create their own sixinch tree to take home and decorate for the holidays. Registration deadline is November 16. The Wood chip-carved Christmas ornament workshop is December 7 at 1:00 pm. Participants will learn the fundamentals of this ancient form of wood carving by making a take-home Christmas tree ornament. The same techniques can be used for other wood chip-carving projects. The fee is $25, which includes supplies. The deadline for registration is November
30. On December 14, during the HCSCC Open House, Gloria Lee, a florist from the Osgood Hornbachers, will be offering a free holiday floral arranging presentation at 1 p.m. Gloria will showcase how to use fragrant pine, fresh fruits and flowers to create easy and unique holiday arrangements you can make for your home. This presentation is free and does not require registration. January 11, 2014 is Roc Day Spin-In. The Fiber Arts Guild and HCSCC invite the public to join them in celebrating the ancient art of turning fibers into yarn from 11am to 3pm at the Hjemkomst Center. Spinners, knitters, and other fiber enthusiasts will be demonstrating their craft as well as answering any questions. There will be a spinning wheel available for anyone interested in spinning yarn. The event is free and open to the public. Saturday, January 25, 2014 is the Primitive Tin Punch workshop. Students will make a take-home candle surround using tin-punch, a folk art often found on lanterns and pie
hanksgiving is the easiest and best time of year to eat local, for the simple reason that the Native Americans and the Pilgrims were locavores back when fresh and local were not marketing terms, but just the way it was. This means that most of what you find on a traditional Thanksgiving menu has its roots in local, seasonal foods.

There is just no better way to express gratitude for good food, local farmers, and their active stewardship of the land than to buy one or more local items for the big meal on the day we join together and give thanks. And its easy -- just tweak your favorite family recipes to create locally produced variations on Thanksgiving classics. Here are a few
ideas: Cole slaw can become a light Brussels sprouts salad Mashed potatoes go glam as local potatoes roasted with leeks, parsnips, and rutabaga Sweet potato gratin can be transformed into a sophisticated cardoon gratin Classic raw celery and carrots become a classy celery root remoulade (recipe below) Dinner rolls from a can become buttery sage biscuits Pecan pie turns into local hickory nut or black walnut pound cake And we all know pumpkin pie is better with local pumpkins, so get yourself a few from a local farmer.

Folk singer Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) left a legacy much broader than, This Land is Your Land, his most famous song. He wrote more than a thousand songs always about things that were important to him. Born in Oklahoma, he rode the freight trains during the depression, a dust bowl migrant, doing whatever he needed to do to survive, with songs about the land and the people. His songs didnt beat around the bush: he told things as they were, in words easy to understand. His careers covered a wide range. He recorded songs for the Library of Congress, he wrote newspaper columns

Sportsmen Against Hunger
has filled that niche for many hundreds of hunters over the years, providing a way for hunters to donate deer to a good cause. Sportsmen Against Hunger got its start in 2004, when the North Dakota Community Action Partnership, a nonprofit agency that serves low-income families across the state, initiated a campaign to encourage local community wildlife groups to develop a venison donation program. This campaign began after NDCAP completed a statewide needs assessment which indicated that hunger, or not enough food to feed themselves and their families, was a major factor for low-income people. The way the program works is that SAH raises funds from wildlife clubs, service organizations and other sources to pay for processing of donated deer, and coordinates distribution of ground venison to food pantries around the state. All hunters have to do is bring their whole deer to a participating processor. The program cannot accept donations of packaged venison.

ome care agencies have been providing high quality, in-home services to Americans for more than a century.

It is this reason that we celebrate National Home Care Month in November. More than just providing exBy Paula cellent care where and when patients need Thomsen, RN and want it, home care saves American taxpayers and commercial health insurers billions of health care dollars each year.

e have had some very exciting days at our house. A couple of days ago we welcomed a baby boy into our family. We are so thankful that both my wife and the baby are healthy and doing well. We have other By The Rev. children at Dennis Norby home and our babys brothers and sisters were so excited to welcome him home. It has been hard to find a time when one of the kids isnt asking when they will get to hold him. We will have lots of little helpers! Life is such a precious gift and in these last days we have been reminded of the Apostle Pauls words in Acts 17. In verses 24 and 25 has said, The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

Where does life come from? The Lord gives us life and breath and everything. So our little child born physically also needs spiritual life. This is true because Ephesians 2:1 we are told that without faith we are spiritually dead. But throughout the Scriptures we are assured that the Lord not only graciously and mercifully gives physical life but that He also bestows spiritual life. In Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, verses 40-41 tell us, Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life! Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise. A few verses later the Psalm writer says, This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life. The point is obvious when we consider a child coming into this world. The child doesnt come into the world because it wants to but because of Gods plan and Gods desire. When it comes to being brought to life spiritually it is also because of Gods plan and His desire. s the verses from Psalm 119 make clear it is the

The bank was organized and financed principally by farmers in this vicinity with a capital of $25,000 and has some of our staunchest farmers back of it. They have a fine bank building at the corner of Railway street and Fourth avenue, well equipped for the transaction of their business. If present arrangements do not miscarry, the new bank will open the early part of next week.

promises of God that bring salvation, which is spiritual life. For us to have spiritual life we must be brought to life; that is given life. This is the exact promise that God has given to us in Jesus Christ. The letter of I John tells us, whoever has the Son has life (5:12). It is not anything we do that brings us to life; the spiritually dead cant do anything. But God calls us to life through the Gospel; which declares what the Son; Jesus Christ has already done for us. He went to the Cross. Thanks be to God. Now I am off to check on a crying baby; it may be time for a diaper change. The reality is that new life whether physical or spiritual can be messy. So may God grant us thankful hearts for the new life we are given and grace and mercy as we continue to grow in Christ day by day.

Cinema Flix opens with pre-release Thor: The Dark World

Story and photos By Sheila Anderson hanks to the hard work of a Bismarck couple, movies began showing on the big screen again in Valley City last week. Jeremy and Wendy Zako of Bismarck renovated the former Theatre I and II building, and opened Cinema Flix on Thursday, Nov. 7. Were super excited to be here and open it, Wendy said. Cinema Flix opened with a special showing of Thor: The Dark World, the night before its national release. Wendy said the theater received special permission from Walt Disney for the showing to coincide with the opening of Cinema Flix. Theyve loosened up and let people do that after 8 p.m. the night before a national release, Wendy said. It works good for us. Cinema Flix was also able to acquire Free Birds, which opened nationally one week before the theater opened. According to Wendy, a theater usually has to wait two weeks if they do not open the film on the national release date, but due to the

special occasion of the opening of Cinema Flix, they were allowed to open it one week late. Movie goers shared the mood of excitement about having a movie theater in Valley City again. Eryn Crump, a local student, liked the fact people will no longer have to drive to Jamestown or Fargo to watch a movie. I like movies, even though I dont really have a lot of time to go, Eryn said. Its a convenient opportunity, Valley Citian Dan Johnson said. I wont have to travel so far to go to a movie. Johnson and his son Nathan attended the special screening of Thor: The Dark World. Cinema Flix employee Bud Kilen who works as a greeter and ticket taker at the theater communicated great excitement about being part of the new theater. I love it, Kilen said. I started out in the theater business in September of 1960 at the Starnight drive in when I was fifteen years old. Here I am 53 years later and Im back in the theater. Kilen also worked at the Pillar Theater and the Omwick Theater in Valley City.
The Zakos have hired a part-time janitor, 11 concession employees so far, and are looking for five more concession employees. The new concession area is larger and modernized. Concession employees Taylor Miller and Lucas Jury, who attend Valley City High School, were excited about the theater opening. Its fun, Miller said. She was echoed by Jury. Its pretty fun, Jury said. It feels like theres more stuff to do. Theres more excitement. Jeremy said the whole building was remodeled before opening. This even meant removing a resident frog. The Zakos own another theater in Hazen. Even though they live in Bismarck, Wendy said they are at one

Pigeon doping?
ur ring bearer started raising pigeons when he was in junior high, and continued to home them after PTSD-type service in the hells of Vietnam. He knows a lot about pigeons. I dontI only see them crapping under bridges and overpasses. I didnt realize pigeon racing was such a big deal in the U.S. and other countries until a New York Times article revealed big money in a multi-million dollar gambling industry. Naturally when big dough is involved humans will do anything to animals to shave the betting odds. Its ironic that three By Ed birds suspected of having doping owners Raymond were named Ben Johnson, Marian Jones, and Lance Armstrong by competitors. Ben and Marian were Olympic track champions before their gold medals were taken away from them because they doped themselves. And everybody knows about Lance Armstrong, the All-American bicycle doper. In major pigeon races all birds are now tested for illegal doping and performance-enhancing drugs. In a recent race of up to 600 miles six birds failed their drug tests. Five had human painkillers in their blood; one tested positive for cocaine. None of this particularly surprises me. We dope horses, greyhounds, pigs, and just about every animal that runs, swims, or flies. Anything for a buck. A pigeon-doping clinic was recently closed down in Miami. What did surprise me was the fact that a billionaire businessman bought a racing pigeon named Usain Bolt (after the Jamaican world sprint champion) in May, 2013 for $430,000. It takes an above-average U.S. worker ten years to make that kind of money.

Plutocrats such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, the Koch brothers, and George Soros are busy converting their economic power into political power. A plutocrat-leaning Supreme Court with decisions such as Citizens United have opened the tsunamis of cash to the wealthy to buy, bribe, or otherwise influence politicians at every level. There are 442 billionaires in the U.S. and the world added 200 in 2012 to make a total of 1,426. How can that happen during a worldwide recession?

What Is Philanthrocapitalism? A billionaire philancap is a person who wants to be heavily involved in public policy and social problems. He is not interested in giving his millions to charitable groups he cant control. Symphonies, museums, hospitals, universities, and theaters do not interest him unless he can have exclusive naming rights and choose members of the governing boards. To influence government and society, philancaps employ technocrats to do their dirty work through foundations and political PACS. This way they can have some control of their own bottom lines. But philancaps are the benefactors of an economy gone wild because of lack of financial regulations. Over 76,000 pages of Catch-22, Alice-in-Wonderland, and P.T. Barnum tax laws passed by Congressional slaves gives them a huge boost. They send their little Fauntleroys to expensive private schools, employ concierge doctors, ride in stretch limos, and fly in private jets to their mansions around the world. A few are not interested in yachts. Chrystia Freelands NY Times article Plutocrats and Populists is an excellent summary of the philosophy of philancaps. Not only is there a huge economic winner-take-all divide between the One Percent and the 99 Percent, the plutocratic philancaps live in a Utopia on the same planet. They live an average 25 years longer than their accountants, secretaries, and servants, eat different foods, drink different booze, travel in private luxury, listen to different music, and enroll their children in private schools. They fly over New York City public schools in their helicopters, thinking that the school roofs below them leak only when it rains. Should One In Four Kids Live In Poverty In The Richest Country In The World? I see no way to revitalize a strong and healthy middleclass in this country unless we follow the absolutely plutocrat-shocking idea that the One Percent should be taxed to restore the infrastructure and equal educational opportunities. We have to be competitive or we become Rome or Egypt. Plutocrats have screwed the middle-class for at least 40 years. The One Percent created toxic subprime mortgages, hedge funds, derivatives, credit default swaps, and other Wall Street casino crap that blew up the housing bubble in 2007. They also blew eight million jobs and about $10 trillion in assets out of the economy during Lurchs last two years.

Charles Turner Dazey of Dazey

Dazey, ND, began as a Northern Pacific Rail Road station in 1883 located in Sec. 19-143-59, Dazey Township, in Barnes By Dennis County. The post Stillings office was established January 7, 1884, with John H. Little as first postmaster. The elevation is 1453, and the Zip Code is 58429. Dazey was incorporated in 1904, and reached a peak population of 293 in 1920 down to 104 in 2010.

Charles Turner Dazey
Dazey was named for Charles Turner Dazey (1855-1938), who came to North Dakota in 1882 to start a bonanza farm. Dazey donated the land for the townsite. He later returned to his native Illinois, and achieved considerable success and fame as a playwright. In college, Charles Turner Dazey edited The Harvard Advocate, was elected poet of his class, and his poems were published in The Century Magazine. Dazey wrote several plays. His greatest success, In Old Kentucky, had uninterrupted production in
America for 26 years. Dazey wrote for Broadway as well as for Hollywood, including Manhattan Madness for Douglas Fairbanks, The Mysterious Client for Mrs. Vernon Castle and Shifting Sands for Gloria Swanson. Dazey married the actress Lucy Harding. In 1920, the old Grand Theatre in Valley City paid homage to Charles T. Dazey by showing the first (1919) of the silent film versions of his play, In Old Kentucky. A second silent version was released in 1927, and in 1935 a sound version came out starring Will Rogers. This was Will Rogers last movie.

Fall mule deer survey completed

The North Dakota Game and Fish Departments fall mule deer survey indicated production in 2013 was higher than in 2012. Biologists counted 1,761 (1,224 in 2012) mule deer in the aerial survey in October. The buck-to-doe ratio of 0.46 (0.37 in 2012) is similar to the long-term average of 0.43 bucks per doe, while the fawn-to-doe ratio of 0.74 (0.59 in 2012) was the highest since 2009, but still below the longterm average of 0.91 fawns per doe. Bruce Stillings, big game supervisor in Dickinson, said the combination of no antlerless harvest and milder winter conditions over much of mule deer range in 2011 and 2012 has provided conditions needed to begin mule deer population recovery in the badlands. In addition, substantial rainfall this spring provided much improved habitat conditions for fawning this year compared to 2012, Stillings said.

Housing incentive fund Do we realy want to import more stuff from China? mission creeping...
uring the 2011 legislative session Governor Jack Dalrymple sought from the state legislature the creation of a housing incentive fund. The original legislative authorization for the fund was $15 million. Earlier this year, during the 2013 session, legislators doubled the size of the fund to $30 million. Now the administrators By Rob of the fund are telling legPort islators that it is depleted, something they claim illustrates just how desperately the fund is needed. But is that true? The premise behind the fund is that private businesses, organizations and individuals can make donations to the fund in exchange for a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state income taxes. The money in the fund is then used to subsidize housing development in oil-impacted communities, with a promise from the developers that a certain number of the units they create be affordable per the governments guidelines. In theory, this is about helping the private sector meet skyrocketing demand for housing and, thus, keep housing costs low. In practice, its little more than a sop to developers paid for by the taxpayers. Consider how it works. The dollars for the fund may originate from private donors, but ultimately those contributing to the fund get their money back in the form of tax credits that can roll over from year to year for up to a decade. Its really the North Dakota taxpayers who are footing the bill because the tax credits mean this money is ultimately coming out of the state treasury, though that fact can get lost in the states massive tax revenue windfalls and budget surpluses. Facts are facts, though, and the facts say the housing incentive fund is a taxpayer subsidy for developers to build in what is possibly the most active housing market North Dakota has ever seen. Thats problematic in its own right, but there are other problems too. It seems as though the program is beginning to oper-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
From Duane Stahl Valley City
ate far outside of the oil patch. The funding of projects in some eastern cities drew a critical eye from the committees chairman, Rep. Jeff Delzer, R-Underwood, who said his understanding was that the incentive fund was meant mostly for oilfield cities that were far behind in meeting housing needs, Forum Communications journalist Mike Nowatzki wrote of a report by the funds administrators to an interim legislative committee. The administrator responded to Rep. Delzers concerns by pointing out that most of the funds money is going to oil patch project. But she also noted that because we have a statewide housing crisis right now, thats moving further and further east all the time. Does North Dakota really have a statewide housing crisis, or is this just an excuse to expand this development subsidy outside of its original justifications? Do we really need to be pouring taxpayer dollars in to what is, and what is expected to remain, a very hot market for housing across the state? That should be something citizens and legislators alike keep an eye on. In fact, we may want to approach with
The U.S. is negotiating a bilateral investment treaty (BIT) with China and a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) with 12 countries (Obama indicates he'd welcome adding China.) TPP (NAFTA on steroids) is opposed by both liberals and conservatives. Very little deals with trade, the majority with things like regulations. Also, it creates foreign trade courts. Disputes between American citizens and foreign corporations would be litigated in these, not American courts. Democrat Senators Sherrod Brown and Ron Wyden have criticized the secrecy and lack of transparency in TPP negotiations. (Wyden was finally allowed to look at TPP documents, but not his staff.) Obama wants fast track authority to send TPP to the Senate for a simple up or down voteno debate or amendments. (Must we pass it to find what's in it??)
Concerning China. From 2008-10, 80 percent of consumer safety recalls were Chinese productsincluding 17+million toys. At least 19 Americans died from Chinese-made blood thinner. Deaths of hundreds of pets were traced to China pet foods. Remember avian bird flu in China? Well, in August The Food Safety and Inspection Service of the US Agriculture Department (USDA) lifted bans on processed poultry from China (sending poultry to China for processing and returning it for consumption). USDA inspectors will NOT be onsite at the Chinese processing plants, and country-of-origin labels won't be required. World Poultry magazine says: Experts suggest that this could be the first step towards allowing China to export its own domestic chickens to the U.S. Sound appetizing? It's time to tell our Senators to oppose these negotiations. Check their websites to email them. The fall aerial survey, conducted specifically to study demographics, covers 24 study areas and 306.3 square miles in western North Dakota. Biologists survey the same study areas in the spring of each year to determine population abundance.
While it is encouraging to see mule deer numbers increase for the short-term, Stillings said challenges remain for continued population growth, including changes in habitat quality due to fragmentation and PORT: 19 disturbance, predators and weather.

markets are having a great year. Since 2007 we have had a 72 percent increase in homeless children attending the public schools. The National Poverty Center estimates we have 1.46 million households living on $2 per person per day. How can we call ourselves a world super power when we have such a huge, soft underbelly of poverty? Children live in poverty in wealthy nations only if the country permits this obscenity. Les Leopold, author of How To Make A Million Dollars An Hour, has a rather simple answer to get 16.4 million children out of poverty. Our 442 billionaires have an average net worth of $4.2 billion, adding up to a total of $1.9 trillion. Since the beginning of the recovery in 2009 their wealth has increased 12 percent per year. If we taxed away six percent of that 12 percent increase, we could give 16.4 million children in poverty $7,000 a year, thus pushing most of their families over the poverty line. The math works.

theater or the other most of the time. Wendy said they are starting out by offering a lot of showtimes to see what works, and will adjust as needed according to the demands of the community. Wendy said normal large-scale national releases mean movies open in about 4,300 theaters nationwide. In those cases, Cinema Flix is able to open the movie when it is brand new on the national release date. In other cases, the release is limited to approximately 2,000 theaters, and in those releases, Cinema Flix may not have access to the movie on the release date due to the size of the market. The Zakos expressed a commitment to the community and keeping the theater going in Valley City. Were just very excited about it, Jeremy said. I believe its going to go really well.

but the woolen stocking cap lasted forever and fit from the time we were two until we were 20. We wore hand-medowns whenever possible, but occasionally we would be unlucky enough to need new shoes. I say unlucky because shoes were purchased at least two sizes too big so we could grow into them. So, we slopped around in new shoes and by the time they fit they looked pretty awful." In our time of throw-away-purchases, laundry day and shopping for clothes takes on a whole new dimension. Now our closets are stuffed with options for costuming our selves daily. There are many young folks who may never have the privilege of drying sheets outdoors... so if I could only bottle that smell... how wonderful would that be? Of course, maybe we can't imitate Mother Nature for a reason. Man was not meant to be indoors all the time - so get out and breathe in the fresh air of North Dakota... for those of you who are not here - maybe someday we can bottle that fresh winter feeling and send it to you.

He joined the Almanac Singers, a folk-protest group, which had concerts they called hootenannys. His songs made him a spokesman for the poor and downtrodden; he sang about the struggle in using our land but also saving it. His protest songs recorded by him and groups such as The Weavers, and Peter, Paul and Mary had far-reaching political implications. Woody Guthrie was a visible and vocal force. He raised huge amounts of money in war bond drives; he had run-ins with the unions, the communist party.

with gear and clothing, I hit the road and arrived at my stand site forty minutes before legal light. I donned my headlamp and pulled out the small bottle of estrous doe scent and a wick from my gear bag and tucked it into my pocket. On my way to the stand, I dipped the wick in the scent bottle and hung the strong-smelling cotton key on the branch of a sapling about fifteen yards in front of my hunting perch. The act was more a celebration of the rut, the time when bucks spend their waking hours chasing does, as Ive never put much faith in store-bought scents. But like anxious teenagers, they get goofy, sloppy and unconcerned with the dangers that they normally pick out from a country mile away when a girl enters the area even the wise old bucks have been known to slip up, making this, traditionally, the best time to catch them off guard. So I figured it couldnt hurt anything. I clipped my firearm to the tow rope, climbed up and settled in, knowing full well the wind would probably limit the number of deer Id see. But it was tradition after all, to be in the stand, part of opening day regardless of what was to come. It didnt matter if I bagged a deer, shot at a deer, or even saw a deer, I was in the hunt and thats what mattered.

Manager Anderson seconded motion. Motion approved. NEW BUSINESS Pat Downs, Executive Director for the Red River Retention Authority, had not had a chance to visit one of our board meetings and decided it was a great opportunity. While Pat was at Big Iron he had a chance to visit LeRoy Triebold and Nyle Burchill. Nyle lives in Grand Prairie Township of Barnes County and informed Pat Downs of a great retention area, mostly on his property, in section 1. Pat had Mike Opat from Moore Engineering, do an analysis on this area and found it to be a good area for possible retention for the Maple River study. This information is for BCWRD to work with as a retention site. Pat Downs is an advocate working for both North Dakota and Minnesota for the purpose of water retention on both sides up and down the Red River Valley. Mike Opat and Sean Fredricks will bring this information for possible retention to the Maple River Board. Mike and Sean could maybe arrange a joint meeting to pursue this retention. Discussion followed for this project idea. Thordenskjold Drain Extention - Mike Storhoff area, in southeast section of Thordenskjold Drain, has not been officially permitted into drain area. We need to make a resolution of necessity, Sean will write up, this would give Mike Opat authority to get the permit process started. District will be consistent as what the rest of the drain has, either permit or dead for the right of way. Sean and Mike will get this information ready for the November meeting. 10 Mile Lake Paul Abrahamson informed the district the hang up with this project is getting an elevation number. Paul has not had compliance letters from NRCS or Game & Fish. Keith Weston said that these letters are needed to proceed. Discussion on highest elevation, cost impact for all involved, and other items involved. Paul showed maps back to 1941 and what 10 Mile looked like back then and some elevation numbers also. Once compliance is met we can proceed, but Mike Opat asked if NRCS is involved thru Keiths office what actually is the roll of BC Water Resource District. Fox Lake Mike Opat talked with Kerry Johnson, BCHD, and Fox Lake is equalizing very well and they may have a diver go down and check out to see what the issue was and see the condition of culvert. Mike Opat says it is time for survey work to get done before the snow comes. Mike says he will have to get access permission from area landowners to get this surveying done and maybe if anyone knows the people to help assist with getting access permission. DuWayne Didier will assist Mike with a list of names. Discussion of flow of Fox Lake. Commissioner Froelich brought up that the County Commission is looking into money from the state to fill in viaduct and put in a straight culvert, because of all the truck traffic coming from Spiritwood project. Railroad is also looking into this area. Nothing to be done till next legislative session meets. Sanborn Lake As of to date the contractor should show up to get started on: Clean out of Legal Drain 2 sections 29 & 30. Kelly Marler water hole that is full of sediment from the Sanborn project. Offner/Jorissen return of their property to agreement and US Fish and Wildlife area back to its original condition. Chairman Jerry Hieb has stated as of October 14, 2013, Barnes County Water Resource District has terminated the Sanborn Legal Drain project as a result of the inability to secure easements and a permanent permit to drain water through the US Fish & Wildlife Wetland. Discussion regarding this project. Sean Fredricks reviewed the Boards agreement with BNSF regarding the Sanborn Outlet. The Board discussed Section 7 of the agreement regarding factors beyond the Districts control. Mr. Fredricks read Section 7, which provides: 7. The objective of the Project is to reduce the level of Sanborn Lake to 1,427 feet, and the District will design the Project accordingly. Unless factors beyond the Districts control occur, the District will maintain the elevation of Sanborn Lake at an elevation not to exceed 1,427 feet. The Board members agree the second sentence applies to this situation; more specifically, the Board members agree the Offner/Jorissen right of way issue, along with the USF&W issue, collectively constitute factors beyond the Districts control . . . . Mr. Fredricks indicated that, in his opinion, BNSF would not agree and would argue the Board had an obligation to acquire all requisite permits and to secure all right of way, by eminent domain if necessary, to ensure the Boards ability to operate the outlet. Mr. Fredricks referenced Section 3 of the agreement regarding the Boards obligations to obtain all licenses, permits, right of way, and other items. Mr. Fredricks voiced concern that, in the event the lake floods in the future to a level where BNSF believes the Board should operate the outlet, BNSF would likely sue the Board if the Board does not operate the outlet. Manager Fehr noted that if the Board did want to operate the outlet in the future, they would have to secure an additional emergency permit from the State Engineers Office. The Board noted the Managers have exerted a great deal of effort attempting to negotiate a suitable resolution with the Offners and Jorissens, short of pursuing eminent domain. With that in mind, the Board felt comfortable the language in Section 7 regarding factors beyond the Districts control does apply to this situation and, in light of the issues with the Offners, the Jorissens, and USF&W, the Board felt compelled to abandon the outlet project. Manager Anderson made a motion, as stated by Chairman Hieb, as of October 14, 2013 that Barnes County Water Resource District will terminate the Sanborn Legal Drain project as a result of the inability to secure easements and a permanent permit to drain water through the US Game and Fish Wetlands. Manager Olauson seconded motion. Motion Approved. Thordenskjold Drain Manager Anderson and Manager Olauson will meet with Scott Cummings sometime this week, for the clean out project and when he can get started. Discussion of what was to be done in Thordenskjold Drain. Sean recommends if we have any questions about what needs to be done, get it in writing from the necessary landowners. Kathryn Dam Mike Opat, Moore Engineering, handed out two options of cost repair information for the Kathryn Dam project. One of the proposals would cost $130,00.00 and another would cost $190, 000.00. Discussion followed. State Water Commission would help with 65% funding with 35% BCWRD funding. Barr Engineering, sent with Mike Opat, a drawing of what the proposed terraced stream, this would take the place of the dam. This would be a bigger cost, in the millions, but you would have more partnership funding with the different agencies (wildlife, safety, etc.) getting involved with this bigger project. Discussion followed. Maybe have a meeting of all interested agencies and others in December or January for this project. Water District managers decided to hold off any further decisions for a few months, since nothing can get started till spring. Hobart Lake Mike Opat informed the district that FEMAs physical year ended in September. BC Commission will continue support this project as they are the applicants named thru FEMA. Legal Drain 2 Manager Anderson met with Legal Drain 2 advisory board and all involved with this project. With a unanimous vote they wanted to raise assessments from $2.00/acre, which the BCWRD increased and voted on September 9, 2013, to $4.00/acre. Manager Anderson made a motion to increase the assessment from $2.00/acre to $4.00/acre. Manager Fehr seconded motion. Motion was accepted with a Roll Call Vote. Manager Evenson was absent. Linda will have to check with the Auditors office to see if this assessment can be changed for this year, as the assessment information was already sent in, but it had the $2.00/acre assessment figured in. Ed Thom Mike Opat had Railroad people look at this situation and from all their records they did not have any culverts in this area. When they looked at area, didnt feel there was any real pressing need so they wouldnt put a pipe in this area. Sean Fredricks informed district that to put a culvert in, the district would have to create a legal assessment drain. Discussion of how the BCWRD can help this situation. Manager Anderson was going to check with Moritz Excavating about what it would cost to bore under railroad tracks. Chairman Hieb has a letter from the State Water Commission. Adam Weigel contacted the state commission and got a permit from the state to take water, from Lake Ashtabula, for dust control on his country road. Chairman Hieb found out it is illegal to take water from anywhere, even a slough, without a permit from the state, for any reason. Chairman Hieb also informed the district about the upcoming court hearing for Buchholz/Nelson complaint. November 12th plea change and December 20th for trial. Manager Fehr informed district that Griggs and Barnes County are continuing to meet (even after the over haul of Commissioners in Griggs) this afternoon here in Valley City. Manager Olauson made a motion to pay the September bills. Manager Anderson seconded motion. Motion approved. Chairman Hieb declared the meeting adjourned at 11:05 am.

Detroit, the birthplace of the worlds auto business, may have to go through bankruptcy to settle debts of a reputed $15 billion. This could mean that retired city employees such as fire, police, and other city workers may lose their pensions. Meanwhile the Detroit Tigers baseball team with a payroll of $148 million, with a $23 million-a-year first baseman, play in a $300 million stadium, much of it financed by the public. The baseball payroll has gone up 38 percent in two years. The NBA Detroit Pistons just spent $80 million signing two players. The NFL Detroit Lions just gave their quarterback a three-year $53 million contract. A pizza guy who owns the hockey Red Wings is planning to build a $285 million arena in downtown Detroit. Joe Drape of the NY Times recently wrote an article about this sample of inequality.
