NEW SIGN: A Caseys sign sits where the Valley City Stop n Go sign was. Caseys took
over the local Stop n Go and renovations are ongoing at the convenience store located
on West Main. (Roger Bluhm/photo)
T
here are lots of orga-
nizations out there
available that help
others, but which groups
are best for each problem?
Tats where Triumph
Incorporated comes in.
We provide options
counseling, said Sandy
Knudsen, a Triumph cli-
ent representative. We
work with North Dakota
Department of Human
Services to try and help
disabled and senior citi-
zens stay at home and not
have to move into a facility
or nursing home.
Triumph works of of re-
ferrals and through DHS.
Te options counseling is
90 days.
We assess the needs
of the individual and get
them connected to the
right people to help them,
Knudsen said. Say an
elderly person isnt able to
get to the grocery store,
we can connect them to a
Meals on Wheels program
to make sure they eat.
Were in and out, but
we make sure when we
leave, the individual has
the programs in place to
help them.
Triumphs home base is
Jamestown, but it pro-
vides services in Barnes
County and throughout
the region.
We have three client
representatives on staf
right now, Knudsen said.
Sometimes we get a rash
of referrals and other
times its quiet.
Tere is ofen little to
no cost for clients as the
program is funded by the
state of North Dakota and
DHS.
Te biggest thing is
we want people to know
there are a lot of programs
out there that can help,
Knudsen said. Its our
job to make sure someone
gets put in touch with the
programs they need.
Triumph can be reached
at 701-952-0429 or
through its website www.
triumphnd.com
n Stop n Go has come
and gone.
Te upper Midwest con-
venience store chain was
recently sold to Caseys
and many of the locations
are undergoing conver-
sions to Caseys, including
the location in west Valley
City.
New signage has already
gone up and employees are
working inside the store to
change things. Most loca-
tions will end up with hot
food areas -- such as pizza
and fresh doughnuts

T
his weeks column is
going to be difer-
ent! We are going to see if
we would have been able to
graduate from the eighth
grade in 1895 by passing
the exam required of all
students. It was taken from
the original document on
fle at the Smokey Valley
Genealogical Society and
Library in Salina, Kan.,
and reprinted by the Salina
Journal. While this test was
from Kansas, it was similar
to the test used by most
other Midwestern states.
Te test was usually admin-
istered at the county level.
You will notice it is entirely
essay, no multiple choice
or true and false, and it has
several diferent categories.

OPINION: ROB PORT
Te federal Bureau of Land Manage-
ment was in Dickinson this week to hold a
forum on faring on federal lands in North
Dakota, most notably the Fort Berthold
Indian Reservation.
It seems some interest packed the room
with people from outside of North Dakota
About a hundred people, many from
other states like Montana or Wyoming,
flled a ballroom at the Ramada Grand Da-
kota Hotel in Dickinson, reported Kather-
ine Lymn for the Dickinson Press and most of the people
there were calling for a slow down to oil production.
Many who shared comments said with multi-well pads
becoming more common and the Bakken in general shif-
ing to full-feld development, the faring problem will only
get worse unless BLM takes action in lowering the bar as
to how long and how much faring is allowed, and follows
through with tough enforcement, reported Lymn. Tribal
advocate Teodora Bird Bear said with the BLM under-
stafed for enforcement and with dangers of oil production
like faring, it would seem common sense that BLM would
institute a slowdown in this application process.
Its difcult to take these words at face value.
Bird Bear, it should be noted, is a bit more than a tribal
advocate. She is also a member of the Dakota Resource
Council, an environmental activist group headed by far-lef
agitator Don Morrison - a man with a resume full of far-lef
causes - thats dedicated to stopping the fossil fuel energy
industry in North Dakota.
Te DRC bills itself as a landowners group, but according
to the Form 990 all such groups must fle with the IRS, in
recent years the organization has received most of its fund-
ing from the federal taxpayers. Which means that, until just
recently, this group fghting fossil fuel energy development
in North Dakota was being funded by our tax dollars.
But I digress.
It is not surprising that lef-wing activists like Bird Bear
and Morrison are chanting the slow it down mantra. Teir
goal is to stop oil production.
But what more reasonable people should be saying is
speed it up. Not oil production, per se, but rather the pro-
cess involved with building pipelines and other infrastruc-
ture needed to reduce faring.
Because its delays in that buildout which are central to
the faring problem.
Statewide the percentage of gas produced that is fared of
is about 36 percent (a number infated in recent months be-
cause of a shutdown of a gas plant near Tioga for upgrades).
But on state lands only that number drops to about 29 per-
cent. On federal lands, specifcally the Fort Berthold Indian
Reservation where about 30 percent of oil in North Dakota
is produced, the faring percentage is above 40 percent.
Why the disparity? Te bureaucratic process for approv-
ing pipelines and other infrastructure on federal land is
much more arduous than it is on state land.
Right-of-way easements for the infrastructure to gather
the gas is harder to get from the tribe, according to Tessa
Sandstrom, spokeswoman for the North Dakota Petroleum
Council. Also, the infrastructure gets permit scrutiny from
three separate federal agencies: Te Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs, the Bureau of Land Management and the US Fish &
Wildlife Service. Tere is also a tribal requirement for a
half-mile setback for all pipelines and condensers from any
occupied structure.
Because there is more bureaucracy for building gas-cap-
turing infrastructure on federal lands, we end up with more
faring. Because there is less bureaucracy for state lands, we
get less faring.
What lef-wing activists like Bird Bear and Morrison
want is for the federal government to respond to a prob-
lem created by excessively complicated regulation slowing
down the build out of infrastructure with more regulation
to slow down the production of oil in general.
Tats ridiculous. What they want is to compound the
problem. What we really need is to solve the problem, and
as is the case a lot of the time, that means government get-
ting out of the way.
Lack of infrastructure buildup is causing the faring problem in ND

On the premise that our
homes are our castles, we
have invoked the right to
stand our ground and
shoot anyone who appears
on the castle grounds. To
implement this concept, it is
the current consensus that
we all must have guns, even
though less lethal weapons,
such as baseball bats, would sufce as a de-
terrent 90 percent of the time.
Before venturing any farther into this
volatile subject, I was raised with guns and
enjoyed the sport of hunting. Terefore, I
approach the subject from neutral ground.
Of course, Omdahl guns were hunting guns
and not the classy revolvers brandished to
protect castles today.
While the stand your ground idea start-
ed with guarding the castle, support for guns
has moved far beyond the castle walls. Some
would have them in schools, churches, fu-
neral parlors, malls, airports and wherever
else humans are found.
Tis is a situation that demands trans-
parency. For those without weapons, it is
important for them to know who is pack-
ing heat. Tis could be achieved by requir-
ing everyone carrying a concealed weapon
to wear a red cap or a shirt embossed with
skull and crossbones, at least until everyone
is equipped.
Te situation also demands equality. In a
gunfght at the mall, everyone should have
an equal chance to stand a little ground.
For those who cant aford guns, there
should be a program to guarantee them
protection, the same as the government

provides for medical needs, for crop failures, for acts of na-
ture, nursing homes, hunger, and other calamities.
We could start the program by giving guns to everyone
on food stamps. A majority of them are working their
hearts out at regular jobs but dont earn enough for grocer-
ies, shelter or bare necessities. Tey cant aford the guns to
protect their castles.
Tey may not have a lot of jewelry in their castles but
even the Walmart stuf is proportionately as important to
them as the gems from Neiman Marcus that are guarded
by the wealthy.
History tells us of the injustice that occurs when only a
few people have guns. Native Americans didnt have guns
and their castles were in greater danger than ours.
Our sense of fairness was out of whack then and may be
so now. Native Americans should be the frst to get guns,
although it is 400 years too late.
Tis proposal to equalize the killing power will be greet-
ed with criticism. Te gun manufacturers and the National
Rife Association will endorse it but most others will insist
that this welfare business has it limits. Many of the critics
will be on Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies, tax write-
ofs, heating assistance, government food insurance, or
some other government handout.
Our secular sense of fairness tells us that simple justice
demands equal treatment and equal protection for rich and
poor alike.
Ten theres the theological side. If we are a nation under
God, we should give Gods point of view a little consider-
ation, especially when we also claim that we trust Him.
God should carry some weight in a society in which
three-fourths of us profess to be Christians. We should ad-
mit that this standing your ground attitude is not a New
Testament value.
We argue that we need guns to protect our stuf from rob-
bers. Jesus suggested a diferent tack. If robbers want our
stuf, he said, we should not only let them take it but we
should help them load it into the van.
Tat complicates the issue but life isnt as simple as we
are.

ouve made your list and are check-
ing it twice, anticipation for fshing
is growing faster than your lawn this
spring.
Current license got it. Life jackets
check. Next stop, open-water fshing 2014.
Te only thing holding you back from a
day on the water is Mother Nature, but
thats spring in North Dakota.
Te past 20-plus year wet cycle has pro-
duced marvelous fshing in North Dakota.
From Devils Lake to Lake Sakakawea and in hundreds of
spots between, great opportunities exist for fshing in riv-
ers, streams and local impoundments. Safe to say its been
a heyday for anglers.
Its interesting to observe human nature any time a few
weeks or even a month of dry weather pops up, and we
immediately wonder if the next dry cycle is upon us and
threatening many of our lakes? Te truth of the matter is,
we really wont know that until it happens, and in most
case theres not much we can do about it.
One threat that anglers can do something about, and
need to address, is aquatic nuisance species, which will
likely present a continuing threat from here on out.
North Dakota already has some of these invasive spe-
cies. Te common carp, introduced in this country before
people knew how much they could damage local fsh
populations, is probably the most familiar.
Carp have disrupted North Dakota fsheries for decades,
but not every water has them, and the states laws are de-
signed to greatly minimize the potential that we humans
will spread them to those clean waters.
Carp arent the only threat, though. Over the years as
fshing opportunities have expanded, so have the battles
against new invaders across the nation and our state. A
decade ago I was writing about salt cedar or tamarisk
along the Missouri River System. Now its zebra mussels
from the east and silver carp in the James River.
In a way, the ANS threat is like a summer storm on the
horizon while youre enjoying time in or on the water. We
know the storm is on the way, but its hard to say where
the impact will be worst, and if it misses altogether, when
will the next threat arise.
History has shown us the threat of aquatic nuisance
species is worthy of concern. Tirty years ago, when zebra
mussels were frst discovered, did anyone understand how
devastating the infestations would be in the Great Lakes
region?
And in the past 10 years, these mussels have moved to
other waters.
Resources needed to slow or stop just zebra mussel
expansion could have been better used elsewhere, but
without a multi-state conscious efort to slow the spread of
all ANS, they would be hurting many more waters than is
currently the case.
Tats why rules and regulations are on the books.
Now that open-water fshing is upon us, its a good
time to take a more thorough look at ANS so we can
minimize or prevent their future appearance in North
Dakota waters.
North Dakota ANS Regulations
1. All aquatic vegetation must be removed from
boats, personal watercraf, trailers, and fshing and
hunting equipment such as fshing poles, bait buckets,
lures, duck decoys, and waders before leaving a body of
water. Tat means vegetation free when transporting
watercraf and/or equipment away from a boat ramp,
landing area or shoreline.
2. All water must be drained from boats and other
watercraf, including bilges, livewells, baitwells and mo-
tors before leaving a water body.
3. Live aquatic bait or aquatic vegetation may not be
transported into North Dakota.
All water must be drained from watercraf prior to
entering the state.

The crisp lines of ink are shown on a print made by a press on a copper plate in the art of
mezzotint. The print is by Linda Whitney, who is retiring from Valley City State University
after 20 years as the Art Department chair.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY ROGER BLUHM
Artist giving up job,
not passion for art
Whitney leaving VCSU, plans to keep
working on mezzotint masterpieces
R
etirement means diferent things to
diferent people.
For some, it means daily rounds of
golf, or gardening in the yard. For others, it
means cofee with friends and visiting with
relatives.
For Linda Whitney, retirement means
spending more time on her passion -- her
art.
Whitney has taught art for many years,
frst as a graduate teaching assistant before
joining Valley City State University as a pro-
fessor and chair of the Art Department at
the college in 1994.
Afer 20 years of running a department
and teaching young artists, shes leaving the
university, but she wont be bored.
Im retiring Whitney said. from
the college, not art.
Ill just have more time to dedicate to my
art.
Whitney is an accomplished printmaker
known, especially, for her prize-winning
works in mezzotint. In a simplifed expla-
nation, mezzotint is creating an image on
a copper plate using a wide variety of hand
tools. When the image is complete, the plate
is put through a press with ink, which trans-
fers the image to paper.
Its a labor-intensive process, said Whit-
ney. But everything I have here at the col-
lege, I have at home.
Even the press. I have one just like the
one here at the college in my living room.
Whitney has taken art serious -- both
teaching and working in the medium. Now,
shell spend more time on her artwork and
her duties related to it.
Teres a large international show, Whit-
ney said of mezzotint. Ive been in charge
of collecting the U.S. entries and shipping

Linda Whitney uses a serated rocker to begin work on a copper plate during a demon-
stration of mezzotint. Whitney, who is an artist, has a showing of her prints at the Jame-
stown Art Center through June 14.
L
ast week I re-
ported on my
short exploration
of the Barnes-Ransom
County border region:
Standing Rock Memo-
rial, an old iron bridge
and the cuisine of the
Sheyenne Saloon in
Kathryn. Tis past
week I traveled to the equally myste-
rious borderland between Barnes and
Griggs counties.
I have long been attracted by the
place where the Sheyenne River be-
comes Lake Ashtabula. Te so-called
Luverne Trestle, a sister bridge to the
Hi-Line, spans this transitional area.
Built in 1912, the bridge is of the same
design as the Hi-Line, but is about 500
feet shorter and 25 feet higher at its
highest point above the river.
Luverne is a short distance from the
east end of the trestle, and Karnak a
considerably shorter distance from
the west end. Tere is public access to
the lake and the river from the Karnak
side, so I have always taken that route.
It is not so easy to get to the west end.
I tried once, but found myself blocked
by boulders in the road.
As luck would have it, Professor K.
P. Kleindorf, who knows the area well
(or, as he puts it, as well as I know ev-
ery square inch of my glorious naked
body) knew how to reach the east
end of the trestle.
So on May 10, a dark and stormy
day, Kleindorf and I drove to Luverne,
took a lef at the north edge of town,
and headed west for about three miles.
Te road descended into the river val-
ley where several dikes and huge piles
of gravel took up most of the lakeside
landscape. Kleindorf reminded me
that there had been a train accident

She currently has a new exhibit at the Jamestown Arts
Center entitled Linda Whitney: Te Space Between His-
tory and Hollywood.
According to a press release on the show, the Jame-
stown exhibit presents the exquisitely rendered and
painstakingly created mezzotint prints of Linda Whitney,
long-time art professor and chair of the VCSU art de-
partment. Te imagery in these cross-cultural artworks
are derived from Pow Wow interlaced with Hollywood
and the indigenous people of Turtle Island. Te exhibi-
tion of twenty-nine mezzotints was selected from a body
of work created in the last fve years.
As Whitney discussed the exhibit, she admitted she
was fnishing work on one of the exhibits.
I got a proof done and thats whats there, she said.
So, I need to get the fnished work done and to the ex-
hibit.
Trough the years the professor/artist has spent many
a time as an art show juror, a visiting artist or a contestant
in a show. In that time, Whitney has always made sure
the students of VCSU were also a priority.
Im done June 1, or there about, she said. Ill miss
the college and the students. But its time to move on. Ive
been here 20 years and the college has been wonderful
about the work I do, but now I can focus on my art.
Whitneys exhibit at the Jamestown Arts Center runs
through June 14. Tere is an exhibition reception from
5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on June 5 at the center, located at 115
2nd Street SW, in which Whitney will be on hand to an-
swer questions and refreshments will be served.
I love what I do, Whitney said. Its not easy and
sometimes, my hands hurt, but I love it.
I will miss the university, but I will keep making art as
long as I can.

T
he book of Hebrews is a letter written to
show the glory and majesty of the crucifed
and risen Savior. Troughout the book the
author does this by showing how Christs ministry
surpassed that of the Old Testament priesthood.
He did this by the sacrifce that was made; a once
for all sacrifce that never needs to be repeated. We
could talk about many other ways in which Christ
is exalted in the book but will look today at just
one. Our Savior was appointed to the task of being
a high priest.
Have you ever run into someone who is consumed by ambition?
Examples might include an individual who devotes all their atten-
tion and energy to moving up the corporate ladder or one who
obviously cares only about amassing wealth and property. We see
ambition in those people in politics and on the sports felds of our
country.
Te desires to grow, develop and succeed in your area of interest
or career is not wrong in and of themselves but they ofen awaken
the pride and arrogance of the human heart.
Te ambitious person is ofen tempted to disregard the wellbe-
ing of those they are charged with caring for. Te father who is
consumed with corporate power neglects his family. Te politician
is more interested in keeping control of his position than caring
for the people he represents. Even the athlete who is seeking to re-
ceive that scholarship or a lucrative contract can neglect the task of
helping the team so he can accumulate more impressive personal
statistics.
Tese are just a few dangers and difculties we see when people
seek to lif themselves up. Perhaps you can see where ambition of
one sort caused sufering in your own life. Again, seeking to grow
and improve is not a bad thing, and we need people who will be
leaders and excel in their diferent felds but not at the expense of
others.
Tis disregard for others is what we sometimes call blind ambi-
tion. It disregards what should be clearly seen all around the indi-
vidual.
Tis is again where we see the glory and majesty of Jesus Christ.
It says in Hebrews 5:4-5, And no one takes this honor for himself,
but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ
did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed
by him who said to him, You are my Son, today I have begotten
you.
Jesus did not seek afer the position of high priest but was ap-
pointed by God the Father.
In the grace and mercy of God we have been provided a high
priest who was not blinded by ambition but who humbled Him-
self that He might help us. Jesus was aware of all the obstacles and
difculties that He faced in completing His mission. You see, this
same Jesus who was made the high priest was also the same one
who sacrifced Himself for us. He humbled Himself even to the
point of dying (Philippians 2:5-11). Jesus has never and will never
neglect His people.
Jesus has made clear, through His personal sacrifce at the Cross,
His desireHis ambition is to forgive your sins and to give to you
eternal life.

April showers bring May
fowers -- and allergies
By Diane Adams
and Amy Noeske
S
pring has fnally arrived! Te
weather is getting warmer,
the snow is melting and soon
the grass and trees will be green
and growing. While spring is a
welcome change afer the long
cold winter, for some it means
problems with allergies.
Tose who sufer from seasonal
allergies know just how awful the
symptoms can be. An itchy, runny
nose and uncontrollable sneezing
can make the spring and summer
months miserable for some. Not
to mention the nasal congestion
that comes with more severe al-
lergies.
Many people with seasonal al-
lergies simply buy antihistamines
like Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec or
their generic equivalents, to treat
allergy symptoms. Tese medica-
tions work because they block
a chemical in the body called
histamine. Histamine is released
by cells in the body afer youre
exposed to an allergen and is
responsible for the itchy, runny
nose and the sneezing. For people
who have mild allergies or maybe
even moderate allergies, these
medications can be very efective
at getting rid of allergy symptoms.
Tere are people who have
more severe allergies and the
antihistamines dont quite cut it
for them. Tese people ofen end
up going to the doctor and getting
a prescription for a steroid spray
for the nose.
In the past these steroid sprays
were only available with a pre-
scription, but starting this year
Nasacort is available without one.
Nasacort (triamcinolone) is
a good option for people with
severe seasonal allergies and those
with moderate allergies who arent
happy with the results from an
antihistamine. People with more
severe seasonal allergies ofen suf-
fer from nasal congestion on top
of the sneezing and runny nose.
Antihistamines dont target the
source of that congestion which is
infammation.
Steroid sprays for the nose such
as Nasacort work in two diferent
ways. First of all, they suppress
the cells that release histamine so
theres no more of the itchy, runny
nose and sneezing. Secondly, they
reduce infammation in the nose
which is what causes that bother-
some congestion.
Nasacort is a safe medication
to use which is why it is now
available without a prescription.
Nasacort may be used in children
as young as 2 years old. Children
who are 12 years old or younger
have diferent dosing instructions
than adults do.
Its important to read the dose
instructions carefully to make
sure you or your child are getting
the right dose.
While Nasacort is efective at
treating allergy symptoms it ofen
takes time to see results. Its possi-
ble that you could see results from
it afer just one day, but in many
cases it takes a week or so to really
see a beneft from the medication.
Tats why it is important that you
use Nasacort every day. Since it
doesnt work as fast as some of the
antihistamine pills, its important
to use it regularly to get the maxi-
mum beneft from it.
Nasacort may be new, but
its not necessarily better than
traditional antihistamines. If you
always use Claritin for your aller-
gies and it works well, then stick
with it.
Te trick with allergies is fnd-
ing the medication that gets rid
of the symptoms that bother you.
And who knows, now that theres
a new over-the-counter allergy
medication, you just might kick
those pesky spring allergies once
and for all!

MUSEUM: From 9
at this part of the bridge on Aug. 9 of 2006 in which several
boxcars were blown of the tracks. Debris from the accident
was buried in this area, including several rolls of unused
toilet paper that were part of a shipment. Any attempts at
looting will be severely dealt with.
Te road then wound around the gravel piles and even-
tually led to the base of the trestle. We took photographs
while making up stories about running into dangerous
gravel-rustlers, or getting droned for getting too close to a
strategic bridge crossing with cameras.
We headed back, and it was then that Kleindorf discov-
ered what might well be the shortest bridge in the area, if
not the region. Te deck was in bad shape, but the support-
ing walls were constructed of large colorful stones.
We decided against stopping of at the Cozy Corner in
Luverne, where I have enjoyed a few very good home-made
meals, and opted instead to take afernoon tea at Ashtabula
Crossing, which, unfortunately, has stopped serving deep-
fried gizzards so we settled for beer and sweet-potato
fries instead.
