McGough is a
busy man -- even
when he tries not to be.
McGough owns and
operates Prairie Wynde
Tattoo and Art Studio in
Rogers. Everything he
does is for the artwork he
puts on his customers.
Its not just see a picture
and tattoo it, he said.
Teres so much more
that goes into it.
For every four-hour
tattoo I do, I probably do
fve or six hours of prep
time for it, looking at pic-
tures, refning the sketch
and fnalizing the image
on where the customer
wanted it. Ten Ill draw
the fnal sketch and be
ready for ink.
McGough also paints
and does other art work,
but again, its to improve
his tattoos.
I paint skulls because if
you can get a skull down,
its so much easier to paint
faces, he said. Even the
paintings I do are to get
better at what I do.
McGoughs shop used to
be in Valley City, but afer
a second food, he moved
it to Rogers.
I already owned the
land and buildings, he
said. Besides, my custom-
ers dont mind traveling a
little bit.
In fact, they prefer it.
McGough said his clien-
tele is word-of-mouth and
repeat customers.
Ive had people come
from all over to get ink
done, he said. Ive done
big pieces and small
pieces.
I charge $50 per session
and $150 per hour we
work on it. Te total cost
depends -- size does mat-
ter when it comes to ink
-- plus some people handle
tattoos better.
Everything can factor
into it.
No matter the cost,

A
s this pub-
l i c a t i o n
comes out
there are quite a
few people getting
ready to walk in
Valley Citys Relay
for Life event at
the Barnes County
Courthouse.
I went to my frst
Relay for Life when
my oldest daughter
was 5. Te event
was held in Miami,
Okla., and started
at dusk and ended
at dawn.
We got a couple
of luminaries to
honor people in our
lives who lost their
fght with cancer
and we kept at least on team member on
the track all night long.
Te dawn, which represents the can-
cer survivor seeing light at the end of the
tunnel in his or her fght against cancer,
was a powerful moment for me person-
ally, and for every-
one at the event.
While several of
these events have
been held in our
area already this
summer, I encour-
age everyone to
participate in at
least one, either to-
night, or next year.
Te Relay for Life
program is a fun
way to raise money
to fght cancer and
brings survivors
and family mem-
bers together to
celebrate successes.
Te event to-
day kicks of with
a barbecue on the
courthouse lawn.
Walking begins around 6:45 p.m. and
will conclude at midnight.
My wife and I have both lost family
members to cancer. Help fght back by
participating in Relay for Life.

A GOOD HEAD AND A GOOD HEART ARE ALWAYS A FORMIDABLE COMBINATION. NELSON MANDELA
A
s a faculty member
who spent more
than 25 years teach-
ing in a university, I have
been somewhat skeptical
about the rosy promises be-
ing made by the online for-
proft universities and col-
leges. I am not alone.
Kentucky Attorney Gen-
eral Jack Conway has rallied 32 states to
participate in a sweeping investigation of
online for-proft programs. (North Dakota
is not one of the states involved.)
Last January, 13 states issued subpoenas,
accusing for-proft programs of misrepre-
senting student fnancing, recruitment prac-
tices and graduate employment records.
Last week, the deadline passed for sub-
mitting comments on regulations for online
for-proft programs proposed by the federal
government. Naturally, the freewheeling
for-profts warned that dire consequences
will follow.
To justify the new regulations, the U. S.
Department of Education pointed out that
72 percent of the for-proft programs pro-
duced graduates that earned less, on aver-
age, than high school dropouts. Tis has
caused great concern about repayment of
student loans.
Student loans are big in the for-proft
world. Only 13 percent of college students
are enrolled in for-proft programs, yet they
receive over 30 percent of all student loans
and account for nearly half of all loan de-
faults.
Under the new regulations, the Depart-
ment of Education will require for-proft
programs to report publicly the cost of at-
tendance, the student default rates and the
number of students completing their felds
of study.
In addition, the new rules will also re-
quire these schools to calculate the likeli-
hood of annual incomes sufcient to pay of
the student loans. In other words, will jobs
enable graduates to pay of their loans?
Te Association of Private Sector Colleges
and Universities have been fghting regula-
tion for years. It engaged economists who
concluded that the new regulations would
harm 7.5 million lower income students
over the next 10 years.
Tis fgure assumes that the for-proft
institutions would not supply the kind of
information being requested. Or perhaps
their concern is the requirement that their
graduates fnd jobs that will make it possible
to repay loans.
If that is the case, their arguments are in-
criminating. Tey constitute a confession
that many of the for-proft programs are
turning out graduates who will not be very
employable so such calculations will dis-
courage enrollment.
Now, to a lesser extent, North Dakota
universities are doing the same thing by of-
fering majors in felds with low employment
possibilities. However, the repayment record
of our graduates is much better, nothing like
the 50 percent in the for-proft programs.
To a classroom instructor, it looks like
students in the clutches of the for-proft pro-
grams are trading content for convenience,

ROEHMS DRUG ROBBED, SUS-
PECT HELD
------------
Edward Pounds Arrested for Crime;
25 Watches Taken
------------
For the second time in two years
the W. A. Roehm drug store here was
robbed Friday night and watches
valued at approximately $300.00 were
taken.
Since the robbery of two years ago,
Mr. Roehm heavily barred the windows
and doors to the rear of the building
making entrance from that way very
difcult. Te robber or robbers gained
entrance to the place by smashing the
heavy plate glass in the front door with
an empty cream can.
Te robbery was not discovered until
Mr. Roehm came down to open up in
the morning. Te only articles missed
were 25 watches ranging in price from
$15 to the more expensive makes.
In gaining ingress in the building
the robber had received a cut from
the shattered glass which bled freely,
leaving many bloody fngerprints on
the glass and fxtures within. Chief
of Police Wold called Sherif Olson of
Lisbon and the two ofcers followed a
trail of blood which led from the store
to the Pounds residence. Te arrest of
Edward Pounds, 24, followed. Chief
Wold said that when arrested he had
a large cut on his right hand which
Pounds declared he got while working
on a car.
His hearing was set for ten oclock
Wednesday before Fred Underwood.
C. G. Bangert, attorney for the defense,
asked for a change of venue and it is
expected Pounds will be arraigned
before Bert Tripp early next week.
Tis is the second time Mr. Roehms
store has been robbed in a period
of two years, the frst time by Emil
Borrchardt who was convicted and
sentenced to serve four years in the
state penitentiary. Mr. Pounds was
sentenced in the state reform school
several years ago and was released a
couple of years ago.

A
neighborhood
block party
is an oppor-
tunity for people to
meet and get to know
each other. Te city
of Valley City and
Barnes ON THE
MOVE Partnership is
inviting everyone in
Barnes County to either host or attend
a block party!
Te hope is that every block/neigh-
borhood will indeed have a block par-
ty this summer.
Its up to each neighborhood to
start the fun. In our neighborhood
the past years we have three houses/
families that initiate the block party.
We choose the date, write up the invi-
tation, and put it on everyones door in
a 1-2 block area.
Some neighborhoods hold their
party in the house or garage of the
host/hosts, while others may choose
to request the city to block of a street.
WHAT TO EAT? We ofen ask ev-
eryone attending to either donate some
funds for meat to grill or ask people to
bring their own meat for grilling, and
also ask everyone to bring a dish to
pass.
Te host families provide the lem-
onade and water, and the paper plates
and cups.
FUN FOR THE KIDS: If your block
has a lot of children you may want to
fnd some games and fun activities for
them, including chalking on the side-
walks, playing Frisbee, bean bag toss,
bobbing for apples and other relay
type games.
REGISTER YOUR PARTY: We are
hoping that everyone who has a block
party will register it by phoning city
hall if you live in Valley City (845-
1700) or phoning me at Mercy Hos-
pital (845-6456) if you live in towns
in Barnes County or the rural area. If
you live in Valley City and would like
to have your street blocked of, there is
a form at city hall to be completed and
there is no charge for blocking of the
street for a block party!
WHY HAVE A BLOCK PARTY:
Block Parties are a time for all of us in
Valley City, Barnes County and across
America to stand together and pro-
mote awareness, safety, and neighbor-
hood unity.
It showcases the vital importance of
community partnerships (city-coun-
ty-citizens) in our fght for a safer na-
tion.
A phrase that is used nationally to
promote block parties is give neigh-
borhood crime and drugs a going
away party! Reduce crime, drugs & vi-
olence. And we can do that right here
in Barnes County by getting to know
each other.
I invite everyone to either host or at-
tend a block party and join the fun!
Te city of Valley City has a website
to visit for more information: www.
valleycity.us.
Or you may contact Commissioner
Nielson at 840-8518, city hall at 845-
1700, or me at Mercy Hospital at 845-
6456.

I
n 1988 I was a sophomore in high school, I was more than happy
to catch a few perch, walleye or northern pike, and sometimes even
bullheads.
It seems I never had a problem fnding the yellow-bellied, numerous-
yet-undesirable fsh, even when the number of fshing waters was half
what it is now.
At that age I really didnt quite understand the drought that was oc-
curring in North Dakota, and the low water conditions that would linger
for several years to follow. By todays standards it seemed like a dire time
for fsheries in the state, yet Dale Henegar, commissioner of the North
Dakota Game and Fish Department, was upbeat in his April 1988 column
in North Dakota OUTDOORS magazine, stating: Our fsheries management program
has created numerous opportunities that didnt exist 50 years ago. Weve more waters to
fsh and more fsh to catch.
And that was with 168 managed fshing waters in the state.
Less than 10 years later, current Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand led the
fsheries division, and in 1997 the number of waters holding fshable populations had
increased to 275 during the beginning of a long-term wet cycle that is still ongoing.
A few years ago the number of fshing waters had grown to 325 and now, Greg Power,
the current fsheries division chief, tabs the total at approximately 420. Nobody can ac-
curately predict if well add even more in coming years.
Plain and simple theres more water and more places to fsh.
But good fshing today isnt only a function of Mother Nature over the past 20 years.
During the drought period 25 years ago, many North Dakota lakes were plagued with
undesirable fsh species like carp, bullheads, white suckers and in some cases stunted
perch. Tese undesirable species were ofen a result of anglers simply discarding bait
afer they were done fshing, even though it was and still is illegal to release baitfsh into
any North Dakota waters.
In an efort to greatly reduce or eliminate this bait-bucket transfer of unwanted fsh
species into state waters, Game and Fish began a long-term program that has included
numerous changes to tighten bait regulations, along with chemical renovations of nu-
merous lakes where the fshery was dominated by unwanted species.

Anyone growing chives has an abundance
of them now.
Chives are one of the hardiest of all herbs
and can be grown as perennials in planting
zones 3-10. Te easiest way to start chives is
to plant already rooted clumps.
In a natural planting area, they are some-
times used as a border or interspersed be-
tween other plantings.
Unless you monitor this plant and are will-
ing to discard extras, they will take over.
Chives can be grown on your windowsill
to provide you with fresh chives all winter.
Chives provide a mild onion favor and can
be used in salads, stews, appetizers, veg-
etables, eggs, butter, yogurt and sour cream.
Chives are rich in vitamins A and C and
also have trace minerals such as calcium,
iron and magnesium.
We invite you to try these recipes which
were shared with us.

SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE POTATO
WEDGES
INGREDIENTS
n 6 large baking potatoes
n Salt and pepper
n 1 16-oz. container sour cream (or low

Sue Martin, assistant manager of Shopko, works on a display recently. Martin survived
ovarian cancer and will be honored at tonights Relay for Life event.
STORY BY ASHLEY DOMINO AND PHOTOS BY ROGER BLUHM
Surviving cancer
Area woman is Honorary Survivor at
annual Relay for Life event in Valley City
Do you ever fnd anyone who hasnt been
afected by cancer; someone in their family,
a friend, an acquaintance? Everybody has
someone that has been afected by cancer,
said Sue Martin.
Martin is the Honorary Survivor for this
years Relay of Life taking place in Valley
City today at the Barnes County Court-
house. She battled and beat ovarian cancer
afer being diagnosed in August of 2009.
I was diagnosed with stage three cancer,
Martin said. Tey removed a volleyball
sized tumor. Tey did 18 biopsies, thank-
fully all came back negative. Ten had six
rounds of chemo therapy, starting in Sep-
tember 2009 through January 2010.
Ovarian cancer claims more than 15,000
lives every year. Symptoms can be subtle,
but it is very treatable if caught in the early
stages. Tere is no test to outwardly target
ovarian cancer, but there are several tests
that can indicate a patient should be further
looked at.
Tere is a test called CA 125, and that is
just a blood test, Martin said..It wont nec-
essarily tell you if you have ovarian cancer,
but if it is highly elevated there is a good
chance. A normal score for that is under 35,
my count was 10,463.
Along with various tests to look for in-
dicators there are four main symptoms
that a woman can look for: bloating, un-
usual sensation of fullness, urinary urgency
CANCER: 11
H
ere, in the open countryside, with symbols of home, faith and community
the Farmhouse, the Chapel and the School families can gather and enjoy
spending time remembering the past, healing old wounds and growing new memories for the
future. It is our prayer that you will be blessed by your visit to Riverbend Farm.

SILENCE IS A SOURCE OF GREAT STRENGTH. LAO TZU
CANCER: From 10
sensation and pressure or
pain in the ovarian area.
No one likes to hear that
cancer word, Martin said. I
went home and cried. I had
been through cancer treat-
ments with my dad and he
had a fairly good outcome
and I expected the same.
I knew that I was go-
ing to be in for the medical
whirlwind. You get into that
set that youre going to ap-
pointments all the time.
Although it was her body
that was being attacked by
the cancerous cells, Martin
was not alone during her
fght for life.
Its been said it takes a
village to raise a child, I
want to say it takes a village
to fght cancer, she said.
Martin, having a fam-
ily history of cancer, knew
the importance of having
a strong support system
around her.
People would say Youre
so brave, you fought cancer
but youre really not, Mar-
tin said. You have lots of
people supporting you.
My main care giver was
my husband Bill. My two
sons and their families, and
my father.
Tey were very instru-
mental in being my support
system. Also my doctors
and the American Cancer
Society.
Te American Cancer
Society helps support can-
cer patients in many dif-
ferent ways. Tey assisted
Martin by giving her gas
cards for transportation to
hospitals, along with help-
ing her with her overall ap-
pearance so she was more
confdent during her cancer
treatments.
Also the people from the
Relay for Life, Martin said.
Being involved in the Relay
for Life it connects you with
other cancer survivors and
that becomes a network for
you to ask questions about
treatments.
Martin was lucky enough
afer one surgery and six
chemo rounds to have
fought and beat her ovarian
cancer.
I was still hospitalized
afer my surgery and the
doctor came in and gave
me the good news that all
the biopsies were negative
there was lots of hootin and
hollerin with my husband
and one of my sons that
were there, she said. It was
good news.
Although she is healthy
now and cancer free, there
are always the possibilities
for the cancer to develop
again in her body.
Te unknown factor that
it can always come back, its
always in the back of your
mind, Martin said. You
feel a twinge here, some-
thing goes on and you think
is that what that is?
Martin pushed through
her cancer and came out
on the other side. For many
people, though, they arent
so lucky. Tere are more
than 100 diferent types of
cancer, and they claim more
than 585,720 lives per year.
One thing that helps sur-
vivors, organizations, and
the families of loved ones is
the Relay for Life. Te Relay
for Life helps bring in dona-
tions for cancer research.
Luminaries can still be
purchased at the relay to-
night, but for now presale
is closed. Cost is around $5
to $10. Luminaries are in
honor or memory of a loved
one who has fought cancer.
Te festivities will begin
at 11:30 a.m. with lunch on
the courthouse lawn. Te
survivor reception will take
place at 4:30 p.m. and survi-
vors who have not pre-reg-
istered are highly encour-
aged to come.
Te opening ceremony
will begin at 6 p.m. with the
walk beginning at 6:45 p.m.
Te walk will conclude at
midnight.

Sometimes we blurt out words before we realize what
we are saying. We have an idiom that we use putting
your foot in your mouth. I dont know where that
phrase came from but it sure could be applied to me
occasionally.
In the Gospels, the Apostle Peter is sometimes re-
corded putting his foot in his mouth. He was a fsher-
man, so we dont necessarily expect that he would be
some eloquent orator.
But even knowing that, we recognize that Peter said a
few things that might be classed as embarrassing; even one instance of
something much more concerning.
Peter on the Mount of Transfguration afer seeing Moses and Elijah
appear and the appearance of Jesus changed makes an interesting com-
ment. He says, as is recorded in Luke 9:33, Master, it is good that we
are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and
one for Elijah.
Te verse concludes with Luke writing, not knowing what he said.
Here we might say is Peter putting his foot in his mouth.
In Matthew 16, Jesus is describing what will happen and how He was
going to be crucifed and rise again.
Peter at that time took Jesus aside and said, Far be it from you, Lord!
(v. 22). Tis might not seem like the worst thing to say but Jesus re-
sponse shows how out of place this statement was. Jesus says to Peter,
Get behind me, Satan!
Tere is no doubt Peters words would have been better lef unsaid.
Beyond that, never been formed in his mind.
Tere are other examples which we might note as Peters unfortunate
use of his mouth.
For Peter and for us we see clearly that James words were true when
he said, For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not
stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his
whole body (3:2).
In fact, with Peters words so freely fowing from his mouth we might
conclude he should have just kept his mouth shut. Even in the begin-
ning of Acts where Peters great sermon at Pentecost is recorded we
might at frst say, Here we go again.
We might say this because Peter doesnt beat around the bush but
confronts the people listening to him with their own sin. In Acts 2:23-
24 it says, this Jesus, delivered up according to the defnite plan and
foreknowledge of God, you crucifed and killed by the hands of lawless
men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not
possible for him to be held by it.
Again we might say, Peter why did you have to shove their sins back
in their faces?
But this was not Peter putting his foot in his mouth but putting Gods
Word into their ears.
Tose who gathered needed to hear about the Law and their sin.
So that the Good News of the Gospel might be received as it is; Good
News.
So that day, by Gods grace, through the mouth of a man, Gods word
was spoken and people believed and were baptized. Tree thousand
were added to the Kingdom of God that day.
By Gods grace, God allowed that Peters foot wasnt always in his
mouth. .

MUSEUM: From 20
I recently acquired a pho-
tograph with Karnak, N.D.
written in pencil on the
back.
Tis by itself does not
prove that the photograph is
of Karnak, since the desig-
nation is not printed on the
card by whoever produced
it.
Part of the reason I took
the trip to Karnak last week
was that I had hoped that
there could be a building re-
maining that corresponded
to one of those in the pho-
tograph. None did, but then
most of the buildings are
gone. Esther Hemm notes
in her essay that there was
a farmer in the area at one
time who raised a lot of dogs.
Perhaps he was the dogsled-
der in the picture.
Dog sleds were used in
this part of the country for
hauling freight during early
pioneer days. A couple of
Valley City old-timers have
told me that they recall
farmers in Barnes County
using dogsleds in the not-
too-distant past and, of
course, dogsledding is quite
popular in several areas of
the country today. House in Karnak. (Dennis Stallings/photo)
Dog sled team on the Main Street of Karnak. It is of interest that a nationally recognized manufacturer of dog sleds
(Prairie Bilt) is presently located only about 5 miles (as the crow fies) northeast of Karnak. (Dennis Stallings Collection)

N
orth Dakota has a
lengthy history of
controlling -- or, at
least, attempting to control
given the practical matter
of enforcement -- private
sexual activity. Tis legis-
lative impulse stretches all
the way back to territorial
days.
In 1862 Dakota Territory
-- which then included both
North and South Dakota --
outlawed fellatio for both
heterosexuals and homo-
sexuals.
In 1885, roughly four years
before the Enabling Act of
1889 would admit North
Dakota into the union, that
law was expanded to include
anal intercourse.
In 1917, the state Supreme
Court expanded the laws
banning fellatio to include
cunnilingus with their rul-
ing in North Dakota vs. Nel-
son.
In 1927
a law per-
mitting the
sterilization
of mentally
or physically
handicapped
prison in-
mates was
e x p a n d e d
by legislators
to include habitual crimi-
nals, moral degenerates and
sexual perverts, with the
defnition of perverts un-
derstood to include homo-
sexuals.
I think we can all be thank-
ful that law was repealed in
1965.
It wasnt until 1973 that a
more enlightened attitude
toward private, personal re-
lationships dawned in the
state. Tat year a law setting
the age of consent in the
state at eighteen years also
explicitly legalized adult,
consensual homosexual re-
lationships.
But in 2004 voters passed
a ballot measure amend-
ing the state constitution
to include an exclusionary
defnition of marriage, lim-
iting it to one man and one
woman.
If this recitation of the
states forays into regulating
private sexual and matrimo-
nial relationships makes you
feel uncomfortable, perhaps
it should. Perhaps youre
shocked to be reading about
things like anal sex, fellatio
and cunnilingus in a column
about public policy (more
shocking, Id argue, is the
fact that our state govern-
ment attempted to regulate
these things).
Tese subjects are gener-
ally taboo in polite society --
or were before oral sex tips
became de rigueur for those
magazines you see while
checking out at the grocery
story -- because they were
intensely private.
Tat feeling -- that sex
and marriage are private
and should generally exist
beyond the scope of govern-
ment regulation -- is at the
heart of the fght against
government restrictions on
homosexual marriage.
Te relationship between
spouses is perhaps one of the
most intimate aspects of our
lives. For the government to
impose one universal defni-
tion of what constitutes that
relationship, and what it can
and cannot be called, for ev-
ery individual and church
and private organization
in the state is a brutal inva-
sion of privacy on par with
the government providing a
list of sex acts you and your
partner are not allowed to
get up to.
But the end of the status
quo is imminent.
Its not at all surprising,
given the direction the na-
tional political winds are
blowing, that the states with
anti-gay marriage laws still
on the books are seeing
challenges. North Dakota
recently became the last
state to get a legal challenge
to anti-gay marriage laws,
and it seems the states days
of outlawing gay marriage
are numbered.
I quibble with the means
-- changing the law through
a vote of the people or their
duly elected representatives
as opposed to judicial fat
would be far less divisive in
the long run, I believe -- but
the end is a good one.
One that, along with end-
ing laws outlawing oral sex
and unmarried cohabitation
(another silly state law that
was fnally repealed in 2007)
restores some of the dignity
to our private relationships.
One that recognizes the in-
herent privacy of the spou-
sal relationship.
Tose who believe in lim-
ited government should be-
lieve that those relationships
should be defned by indi-
viduals, or voluntary private
organizations like churches.
But while I hope gay mar-
riage becomes legal, I hope
that opposition to hom-
sexuality does not become
illegal.
In other states weve seen
bakers and photographers
punished by the state for
refusing to associate them-
selves with homosexual
unions.
Lets hope that in North
Dakota the freedom of as-
sociation for those who do
not condone homosexuality
is protected, even as we ex-
pand it to homosexuals who
wish to marry one another.

serious study for short-cuts. Tey are led to believe that there is a quick
and easy way to get smart.
So how does all of this relate to North Dakota?
First, we have students being seduced by for-profts and headed for
a questionable future. Tey deserve a word of caution. It seems to me
that the Board of Higher Education or the Attorney General ought to be
warning prospective students.
Second, North Dakota taxpayers are entitled to accountability in the
federal fnancing of a student loan program that is being abused.
Tird, as a nation we cannot aford to have limited education resourc-
es diverted when our young people are expected to compete in a world
economy.
We are now engaged in a discussion over the Common Core refor-
mation proposed for K-12 by governors and state superintendents of
public instruction. It seems that we should be equally concerned about
academic quality at the college level.
KNOW: From 7
Sues Comments: Many of the names in this article will be familiar to
the older area residents. Te drug
store, which later burned down, was located on the east side of Fourth
Avenue where the Encore Trif Store is now located and included a
soda fountain. Te Roehms were long-time prominent residents of
Enderlin. Mrs. Roehm (Lillian) was a talented musician and played
piano and organ in churches and even at the nursing home well into
her 90s. Mr. William A. Roehm died in July of 1960 at age 72. Lillian
lived 39 more years and died in November of 1999 at the age of 98.

Today, fathead minnows,
sticklebacks, and creek chubs are
the only legal live baitfsh species
that can be used in most North
Dakota waters.
Te exceptions are the Red and
Bois de Sioux rivers where white
suckers can be used and 23 state
waters where it is illegal to use
any live baitfsh.
Eliminating white suckers as le-
gal baitfsh over much of the state
has greatly reduced the number of
lakes that have developed prob-
lem sucker populations since the
late 1980s, according to Power.
In addition, for the past couple
of decades, the department has
worked with the wholesale and
retail bait industry to help ensure
that the bait anglers are buying is
clean and legal and doesnt con-
tain any stray species that might
be harmful to a lake if they were
inadvertently released.
While todays bait is much
cleaner than what may have
been purchased 20 years ago,
Power said it remains the anglers
responsibility to possess only legal
live baitfsh when fshing in North
Dakota.
For specifc regulations regard-
ing bait use and all other fshing
regulations, refer to the 2014-16
North Dakota Fishing Guide.

Department in West Fargo. He can be reached via

McGough wants his work to stand out.
Te reason I do everything I can to get better is if
someone is walking around with ink thats mine, I want
people to love it, I want it to be the best I could do, he
said. My names associated with it, so it better be as
good as I can make it.
McGough can be reached at 701-840-0123, but if
youre looking for a tattoo, be patient.
I meet with a client for a consultation, he said. Also,
Im booked up for a while, so it might take six months
before we start on the tattoo.
n Valley City is continuing its growth.
Roxys Frozen Yogurt will open its doors on East
Main Street in a couple of weeks, said Max Drake.
Were doing the fnal work now and home to be open
real soon, Drake said. Were going to have eight favors
and all the toppings you could want.
Te business is easy to spot. Te door is pink and the
building is green.
We put the sign up and then painted the door pink
like the sign, Drake said. Te other color in the sign
was green, so we decided to go for it.
Drake named the business afer his sister, Roxanne.
She died a year ago, but she always talked about
owning a frozen yogurt place. It ft. Its sort of a tribute
to her.
In the winter, Drake plans to ofer soup and sand-
wiches at the business, along with free wi-f.
We want it to be a place where people can hang out,
Drake said. Plus, well always have the frozen yogurt,
all year long.
n A plot of land between Stoudt-Ross Ford and
Burger King has been cleared and work started on a
new building.
OReilly Auto Parts is building there, said Dave An-
derson, Valley City building inspector. Teyve started
to dig to put footings in.
OReilly has nine stores in North Dakota, the closest
located in Jamestown. Te business will join NAPA and
CarQuest as auto parts stores in Valley City.
n Despite rumors to the contrary, McDonalds is still
planning to build a store in Valley City.
Te hold-up is a state permit involving storm-water
runof. According to Anderson, because building plans
state that some runof would go into a ditch near the
location, there has to be Department of Transportation
approval on the plans.
Construction on the building is scheduled to begin as
soon as approval is granted.
Many a small thing has been made
large by the right kind of advertising.

S
hortly afer Professor
K. P. Kleindorf and I
made our recent expe-
dition to the east end of the
Luverne Trestle, I made an-
other tripthis time, solo
to the west end of the trestle
and the town of Karnak.
Tis was the third time I
had visited the area. Perhaps
my fascination with this particular non-ex-
istent town is due to its exotic associations
with Karnak, Egypt, and the rather less ex-
otic Karnak, Illinois.
All three Karnaks are situated on rivers:
Karnak, N.D., on the Sheyenne; Karnak,
Egypt, on the Nile; and Karnak, Ill., on the
Cache River. Both Karnak, N.D., and Kar-
nak, Egypt, lie in ruins. Karnak, Ill., is the
only surviving town of the three, with a cur-
rent population of about 600.
On this visit to Karnak, I found the actual
townsite, which consists of fve collapsing
buildings weathered to black and gray, and
all but buried in a thicket of dead thorn
trees that scratch against the walls in the
prairie wind. At dusk, it could be the setting
for a remake of Te Blair Witch Project.
A Karnak Mystery
Few photographs exist of Karnak during
the time it fourished. I now have several and
others may be seen at the website Ghosts of
North Dakota (http://www.ghostsofnorth-
dakota.com/).
