T
he Gabel clan, of Valley City,
fnished another successful
competitive horseshoe season
with tournament play at the 2014 Na-
tional Horseshoe Pitching Associa-
tion (NHPA) World Tournament held
recently in Hamburg, N.Y.
Although all three Gabels got close,
really close, to World titles this year,
Wilbur Gabel and two of his grand-
sons Cameron, age 15, and his
brother Noah, 11 are already mak-
ing plans for next years World Tour-
nament in Topeka, Kansas.
Both Wilbur and Noah won World
titles in the past.
Tis year, Wilbur Gabel placed sec-
ond, missing a playof for the Cham-
pionship by one game over three days
of stif competition. Cameron who
has had a lot of success at the state
level, placed third, also missing out
on playof for frst by one game. Noah
pitched well but failed to get into the
Championship round by one place
and fnished seventh.
No matter. All three had a great
time!
Tis years tournament drew hun-
dreds of competitors from California
to Florida and most states in between.
Tere also are competitors from Can-
ada. Te NHPA has charters in all 50
states and more than 10,000 mem-
bers.

E
njoy
summer
while
its here; go
ahead, get
out, enjoy the
weather and
get into the
water. But
dont let all
that beautiful blue water
fool you; it can be contami-
nated with many germs that
can cause recreational water
illnesses (RWI).
Diarrhea and swimming
dont mix!
Diarrhea is the most com-
mon RWI. Swimmers who
are sick with diarrhea or
who have been sick in the
last two weeks risk con-
taminating pool water with
germs. Certain germs that
cause diarrhea can live from
minutes to days in pools,
even if the pool is kept clean
and disinfected.
Infectious diarrhea can
contain anywhere from
hundreds of millions to one
billion germs per bowel
movement. Swallowing even
a small amount of water
that has been contaminated
with these germs can make
you sick. Tiny amounts of
fecal matter are rinsed of all
swimmers bottoms as they
swim through the water.
Tat is why it is so impor-
tant to stay out of the pool if
you are sick with diarrhea.
Other RWI risks
Many other RWI (skin,
ear, eye, respiratory, neu-
rologic, wound, and other
infections) are caused by
germs that live naturally
in the environment (for
example, in water and soil).
If disinfectant levels in
pools or hot tubs are not
maintained at the appropri-
ate levels, these germs can
multiply and cause illness
when swimmers breathe in
mists or aerosols of or have
contact with the contami-
nated water.
Oceans, lakes, and rivers
can be contaminated with
germs from sewage spills,
animal waste, water runof
following rainfall, fecal inci-
dents, and germs rinsed of
the bottoms of swimmers. It
is important to avoid swal-
lowing the water because
natural recreational water is
not disinfected.
Here are a few tips on what
to look for before you go
swimming to help you
avoid a RWI:
n Avoid swimming afer a
heavy rain.

VC-BC LIBRARY NOTES
BY STEVE HAMMEL
LIBRARY DIRECTOR
H
ello Barnes County. I have a gripe,
or to use modern terminology, a
rant. As regular readers of my column will
attest, I usually keep things pretty upbeat
but not this time. Nope, theres something
I need to get of my chest and youre going
to hear about it.
Over the past few weeks I have had sev-
eral conversations similar to the following.
(I chose the term resident for a reason
youll understand why in a minute)...
Resident: I hear youre doing great things at
the library.
Me: Tank you, staf and I have been work-
ing really hard on moving the library forward.
Resident: So I have understood. Im a
really big supporter of the library and what
youre doing.
Me: Great. So what do you think about
all the new books and DVDs we have been
getting?
Resident: Oh, I havent been in the library
for years.
Me: Really, why not?

DID YOU KNOW?
By Susan
SCHLECHT
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By PAUL STENSHOEL
VALLEY CITY
More than 100 years ago, Eldborg Norrs
family set sail for America. As time went by,
they lost touch with their Norwegian roots,
more than likely keeping busy assimilating
into their new American life.
Eldborg had always wondered what had
become of her long-lost relatives, spending
the past 10 years searching for any informa-
tion or news.
Good fortune graced Eldborg, as well as
it did for me. Always diligently seeking any
new information she could fnd, she came
across a publication I had written in 2011
regarding my family genealogy.
Eldborg sent me an email, writing that
she believed one of her family members had
married into mine. Although I didnt have
any additional information at that time, I
wrote back to Eldborg that I was living in
Valley City, North Dakota, the town where
her relatives had immigrated to, and would
most certainly search deeper to see if I could
help fnd answers for her.
Down the block from my apartment in
Valley City is the citys historical museum.
Tis is a wonderful museum with a research
center holding old newspapers, phone
books and many other items of historical
information and interest. Additionally, the
museum staf and volunteers were a wealth
of knowledge, and quite pleased to help.
I began my search for Eldborgs family in
the museums research center. As I poured
through newspapers, historical papers and
books, I found pieces of information that
would soon delight Eldborg.
We wrote back and forth as I continued
to uncover more and more information re-
garding her American familys whereabouts,
and she sent encouragement and possible
suggestions whenever it appeared that I was
reaching what looked like dead-ends.
I continued to fnd enough information
that eventually Eldborg was able to make
contact with the American side of her fam-
ily, people she had been searching for for
more than 10 years.
Eldborg asked me how she might repay
me and I answered, Find my Norwegian
family.
She wrote a story for the Stavanger Afen-
blad (newspaper) asking to fnd informa-
tion about my relatives. And so today is the
result of Eldborgs diligence and work.
August 10, 2014, will always be a very spe-
cial day for me. Tis is the day that Ragnhild
and Olaf Ellingsen organized a gathering in
Lyngdal, Norway, to celebrate the Jacobson/
Ellingson family connection. Tis special
day reacquainted relatives in Norway and
America who had lost touch with one an-
other over the years.
Wed like to thank the Norwegian State
Achives in Stavanger for their eforts, and
the Stavanger Afenbald for its article in 2011
that began the start of this great adventure.
Tis family gathering and celebration has
opened new lines of communication, with
promises of a new family bonding.
On another note: Afer being in Norway
for several weeks, it isnt hard to see that
Norway is a very wealthy country these days,
mostly because of North Sea oil. Stavanger
and Oslo are a couple of the most expen-
sive places in the world to live and its very
difcult to get into the good colleges there.
Many of the younger generations shared
with me that they were eyeing America for
their college education, partly because of
its international importance. Te Norwe-
gian families from Stavanger were all very
curious from the information I was able to
provide, showing them where their ances-
tors had settled in America and the fact that
they had numerous cousins there too.
As a result of this trip, there was enough
curiosity generated to assure that Barnes
County will no doubt see some of these rela-
tives in the future.
Historical research helps reunite Norwegian, American families
Valley Citys Paul Stenshoel gathered with overseas relatives in Lyngdal, Norway, on Aug.
10, a gathering he credits, in part, to the vast resources of the Barnes County Historical
Society Museum. (Photo/submitted)
Y
ou probably already
know Bufalos Red
Trail Vineyard for its
handcrafed North Dakota
wine. Afer all, Red Trails
Rodney and Susan Hogen
have been growing cold-har-
dy grapes on their Bufalo
property since 2003 a feat
once considered improbable,
if not impossible and the
vineyard is host to the states
only Grape Harvest Festival
and Grape Stomp, coming up
Saturday.
Going on its ninth year, the
family-friendly festival fea-
tures live bluegrass music,
tours of the manicured vine-
yard, food, fun, games and, of
course, wine-tasting.
It used to be a well-kept
secret and now, Im sorry, the
secrets out, said vineyard fan
Liane Stout of Bufalo.
A popular festival event
is the annual Grape Stomp,
which involves 10 teams of
two who, for 90 seconds,
work together to extract the
most juice from their as-
signed bucket of grapes.
Its a great excuse to go
barefoot - and try your hand,
or foot, as it were at an an-
cient tradition.
Te stompers go at it for
only 90 seconds, but it seems
like an eternity, said Rod-
ney Hogen, noting that grape
stomping is hard work.
Whether you join the stomp-
ing party, or prefer to hang
back and enjoy the spectacle,
the stomp fest and other festi-
val activies are sure to please.
Tis (kind of event)
doesnt happen anywhere else
in North Dakota, Stout said.
Its world class entertain-
ment. More people need to
experience it.

Te car had a broken bumper in the
front. Both bandits were well dressed.
One was tall and dark complexioned; the
other about 5 feet 7 inches tall, slender and
sandy complexioned.
Omdahl said one of the robbers took
part in the Dec. 7 holdup of the bank in
which more than $3,000 was obtained.
Others in the bank besides Omdahl were
Miss E. B. Greene, president; T. L. Wiper,
cashier; R. E. Pratt, G. O. Pratt and Louis
Howell, customers.
Omdahl was ordered to open the safe
but refused and one bandit slugged him.
He was not seriously hurt. Miss Greene
said she and the others could identify the
men.
Plan to Stop Bank Robberies

To plan protection against bank robbers,
the sherifs and states attorneys of three
North Dakota counties met Monday at
Fargo at the suggestion of Attorney Gen-
eral P. O. Sathre. J. A. Heder, assistant at-
torney general, was present at the meeting
representing the state department.
Four robberies in the last two months
and two within one week is just an indica-
tion. Mr. Sathre believes that unless steps
are taken to curb the robberies, they will
continue to grow in numbers.
Te counties most afected so far by the
outbreak are Barnes, LaMoure and Ran-
som. Each sent delegates to the meeting
Monday.
Adams Put In Charge

John Adams, Ransom county states at-
torney, was placed in direct charge of the
hunt for the bandits by the group afer a
discussion of the robberies and a trade of
notes and evidence by the diferent coun-
ties.
Te counties agreed to pool experience
of the investigation and outlined a plan for
the capture of the gang on its next appear-
ance, if not before. A systematic means of
spreading the alarm was urged.

Sues Comments: Times were tough in
the thirties and the robberies were prob-
ably a result of that. I question a couple
of the names of the bank customers in
this article. I believe the name should be
Kratt instead of Pratt since there are
both an R.E. Kratt and a G. O. Kratt bur-
ied in the Sheldon Cemetery and there
are no people there with the name Pratt.

Great grapes: Part 1
Annual grape stomp
and harvest festival set for
Saturday, Aug. 16
T
he throne of a king is
a picture of his power
and authority. From
the throne, the king makes
various proclamations and
judgments. To approach
the throne uninvited is a
dangerous thing. In the Old
Testament book of Esther, we
see that even the wife of the
king could be punished with death for ap-
proaching the throne without an invitation
to do so (Esther 4:11-17).
So with fear and trepidation someone
might approach the throne of an earthly
king; but without any confdence about
whether they might be received with favor
or with anger and then punishment. For
if we know anything about the nature of
people, it is that their moods ofen change
and they are ofen inconsistent; we might
say they are capricious.
But the failings we see with the kings of
men, and truly all people, we do not see
when we see how God deals with us. He
doesnt change the rules half-way through
a game. He doesnt say He will act one way
and then act another. Tese are simply
ways of saying that we can trust God and
that He is faithful. He is not capricious. We
are told in James 1:17 Every good gif and
every perfect gif is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights with whom
there is no variation or shadow due to
change.
Tis brings us back to the idea of ap-
proaching a throne; a specifc throne which

FAITHFULLY
God is faithful, never capricious
By the Rev.
Dennis NORBY
Is your church missing from the
Independent church directory?
Have the leader of your church
submit the information to
and well add it to our listings.
T
he throne of a king is
a picture of his power
and authority. From
the throne, the king makes
various proclamations and
judgments. To approach
the throne uninvited is a
dangerous thing. In the Old
Testament book of Esther, we
see that even the wife of the
king could be punished with death for ap-
proaching the throne without an invitation
to do so (Esther 4:11-17).
So with fear and trepidation someone
might approach the throne of an earthly
king; but without any confdence about
whether they might be received with favor
or with anger and then punishment. For
if we know anything about the nature of
people, it is that their moods ofen change
and they are ofen inconsistent; we might
say they are capricious.
But the failings we see with the kings of
men, and truly all people, we do not see
when we see how God deals with us. He
doesnt change the rules half-way through
a game. He doesnt say He will act one way
and then act another. Tese are simply
ways of saying that we can trust God and
that He is faithful. He is not capricious. We
are told in James 1:17 Every good gif and
every perfect gif is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights with whom
there is no variation or shadow due to
change.
Tis brings us back to the idea of ap-
proaching a throne; a specifc throne which

W
ith a num-
ber of chal-
lenging and
contentious measures
on the November bal-
lot, North Dakota vot-
ers may be lured to the
polls in a ho hum!
nonpresidential year
election.
Repeating the nature of the seven
measures on the ballot is important
because thousands of voters will show
up at the polls without a clue about the
signifcant issues they are expected to
resolve with wisdom and insight. .
In the November 2012 election,
325,862 electors appeared to vote but
an average of 21,049 voters per mea-
sure did not vote on the fve issues on
the ballot.
Tis fallof could be attributed to a
variety of factors but lack of prepared-
ness would certainly be one of them.
So, for starters, here is a
quick summary of the mea-
sures to be decided in No-
vember.
Measure No. 1 is an
amendment to the state
constitution proposed by
the Legislature declaring
that Te inalienable right
to life of every human be-
ing at any stage of develop-
ment must be recognized
and protected.
Tis sweeping proposal is
intended to prohibit abor-
tion from the fertilized egg
to birth. Te public debate
will center on the sanctity
of life, the unknown conse-
quences of the measure and
the possibility of prosecu-
tion of women and/or medical per-
sonnel for some degree of homicide
Measure No. 2 is another constitu-
tional amendment proposed by the
Legislature prohibiting the imposition
of a tax on mortgages.
In the eight states imposing a mort-
gage tax, the rate is around one per-
cent of the mortgage. North Dakota
does not have a mortgage tax so this
is designed to protect the people from
a tax-happy legislature should one be
elected in the future.
Measure No. 3 is also a constitu-
Legislature to abolish the present
9-member Board of Higher Educa-
tion and replace it with a 3-member
commission. It would also delete the
names of specifc institutions but leave
the names of the college cities.
Measure No. 4 is another constitu-
Legislature prohibiting electors from
placing on the ballot any measure that
would appropriate money or require
the Legislature to appropriate money.
With the state treasury accumulat-
ing huge surpluses, legislators are fear-
ful that various groups will propose
spending measures that upset the Leg-
islatures fscal priorities.
Ten there are three measures that
have been proposed by citizen peti-
tion.
An equal parenting measure has
been proposed to force equal parent-
ing rights and responsibilities, equal
parenting time, equal primary resi-
dential responsibility and equal deci-
sion-making on parents involved in
divorce.
Tis measure was defeated by a vote
of 57 to 43 percent in 2006. It would
enable disgruntled divorcees to bypass
the normal judicial process for deter-
mining parenting ground rules.

ecretary of State Al Jaegers ofce is
currently reviewing signatures for
three more ballot measure which, if
approved, would join fve already on the
ballot. Tat would bring the total number of
ballot measures voters will be considering
in November to eight. Tats more than any
of the last 15 statewide ballots going back
to 2000.
Measures get on the ballot in two difer-
ent ways. Current law requires that changes to the state
constitution made by the Legislature be subjected to a state-
wide vote. Other measures are put there by voters who sign
petitions to support the creation of new laws, or to repeal
existing ones.
Looking at only citizen-initiated measures, in the eight
elections from 2000 to 2008, citizens put a total of fve mea-
sures on the ballot. From 2008 to 2014 assuming all of
the aforementioned measures are cleared for the November
ballot citizens will have put 14 measures on the ballot.
Are we getting carried away?
I like the idea of petitioning to change laws. I like that
citizens can refer to the ballot laws they dont like. I like that
citizens can put issues on the ballot that they feel the law-
makers are ignoring. Heck, Ive participated in the process,
sitting on sponsoring committee for past measures and
working a clipboard to get signatures.
But my support for these things hinges on the idea that
the process is the result of actual North Dakota citizens
organizing and acting. Im not sure thats been the case of
late.
Look at the North Dakotans for Clean Water, Wildlife
and Parks. While North Dakotans may be in their name,
there arent many citizens of this state who have given the
group money.
We have no idea how much the group has raised and
spent in 2014. Measure committees are only required to re-
port fnances twice a year 32 days before election day and
at the end of the year. But looking at the groups fundraising
and spending through 2013 (they began their petition drive
in August of last year), we can see they have raised roughly
95 percent of their cash from out of state, and spent that
money at a pace that works out to about $8 for every one of
the more than 41,000 signatures they submitted to put their
conservation measure on the ballot.
Far from grassroots citizen activism, whats backing the
conservation measure is a
coalition of deep-pocketed,
professional activists buying
their way onto the ballot.
Is that in keeping with the
spirit of the initiated mea-
sure process?
Before Im accused of hy-
pocrisy because I dont like
their measure, let me point
to another example. On June
3, backers of a petition to
PORT: 12
PORT: From 11
repeal North Dakotas pharmacy protectionism law
were approved to begin collecting signatures. On July
18, the group turned in nearly 24,000 signatures, al-
most 11,000 more than needed.
In about six weeks, the group collected almost 24,000
signatures at a clip of about 4,000 signatures per week.
Tere is no question that this group is well funded
corporate interests like Walmart have long desired
repeal of this law but we wont know anything about
their fundraising and spending until later this year (we
really need more disclosure for measure committees).
But we dont need to see the disclosure to know that
they spent a ton of money on petitioners to collect
4,000 signatures per week.
I plan on voting for this measure, but the way it was
put on the ballot should give us all pause.
Americas founding fathers were no friends of this
sort of direct democracy. Te American system of gov-
ernment was created as a representative democracy.
We protect ourselves from the whims of the masses by
electing legislators and a chief executive to propose, de-
bate and ratify policy.
Te current initiated measure process allows any fac-
tion with lots of money to put its issue before voters and
stand a good chance of winning. Perhaps through some
fuke of circumstance say, a blizzard on election day
we might end up with a change to our laws that most
North Dakotans dont support and that lawmakers cant
change for the better part of a decade.
Making laws deserves a more rigorous process.

Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks consti-
tutional amendment proposes to dedicate
fve percent of the states oil extraction tax
(perhaps $90 million annually) to a variety
of conservation programs.
Tis measure will be
fought over the long-term
commitment, the amount of
money involved, the failure
of the legislature to address
needs, the availability of the
funds and the need for long-
term programming.
Repeal of the law limit-
ing pharmaceutical sales to
drugstores owned at least 50
percent by druggists.
Since passage of this law,
the big box stores have come
into the state with a desire to
get into the pharmacy busi-
ness. Te chain stores that
existed at the time of passage
were permitted to continue.
As citizens review the issues, they will
fnd at least one or two that will draw them
to the polls. I predict a higher than usual
turnout just because of the measures.
V
alley City Public Schools and City County Health
District will ofer the VCHS seniors a fngerstick test
to include total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides,
and blood sugar for a minimum charge of $35.
If the student would like these tests done, he/she can ei-
ther sign up at school registration or in his/her English
class. Consent forms for parents and/or students need to be
completed by Friday, Sept. 19, in order to participate. Te
consent form will be mailed to each senior and will also be
available at school registration.
VCHS seniors will also learn about their health by taking
the Personal Wellness Profle which is FREE. Te informa-
tion from the cholesterol test combined with the Personal
Wellness Profle questionnaire will give each student a com-
plete health risk assessment now that they are young adults.
Te Personal Wellness Profle report for seniors encourag-
es healthy eating, exercising regularly, wearing seatbelts, etc.
Height, weight and blood pressure are also included with the
profle report. Te beneft to the students is that they will
learn about the tests they should do on a continuing basis
throughout their adult years.
Tis program is coordinated by Young Peoples Healthy
Heart Program at Mercy Hospital partnering with City
County Health District and Valley City Public Schools.
Te hope is that all students will take advantage of this op-
portunity to start their adult lives aware of their health risks
so they can be as healthy as they can be.
For more information,
contact Andrea Winter, Li-
censed Registered Dietitian
at Mercy Hospital at 845-

FAITHFULLY: From 10
belongs to God. So with the
power and authority of God
it would be foolish to ap-
proach such a throne without
an understanding of what the
throne is and who it is that is
seated on the throne.
Hebrews 4:16 tells us, Let
us then with confdence draw
near to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy
and fnd grace to help in time
of need. So God Himself,
through His word, invites us
to come to His throne. We
need not worry about be-
ing uninvited guests. We are
welcome and will be well-
received.
Te King will turn His at-
tention to us and listen to
what we have to say, not be-
cause of who we are, but be-
cause of who He is and the
promises that He has made
to us.
We also see clearly that the
throne is here described as a
throne of grace a throne
that brings to us those things
that we do not deserve and
could not earn. It is a throne
that God has determined will
be the place from which He
provides to His people grace
and mercy in their times of
need.
So then, you and I who
hear this word have the great
joy and privelige of bringing
to God Himself our needs;
whatever they might be. Even
beyond that, we know that
the God who hears us will
dispense from that throne
mercy and grace. We can be
assured that when we ap-
proach God in prayer we
will fnd, not an angry tyrant
seeking to destroy us, but a
gracious King who like a lov-
ing father desires to provide
to us what we truly need;
grace and mercy.

n Beware of storm drains (pipes that drain pol-
luted water); do not swim near them.
n Look out for trash and other signs of pollu-
tion such as oil slicks in the water; this may indicate
presence of disease-causing germs that may have
washed into the water.
Tings you should notice around the pool:
n Clean and clear pool water. You should be able
to clearly see any painted stripes and the bottom of
the pool.
n Smooth pool sides. Tiles should not be sticky
or slippery.
n No odor. A well-chlorinated pool has little
odor. A strong chemical smell indicates a mainte-
nance problem.
Pool equipment working. Pool pumps and fltra-
tion systems make noise and you hear them run-
ning.
RememberPractice healthy swimming behav-
iors:
n Dont swim when you have diarrhea.
n Dont swallow or get the water from pools,
lakes, rivers, or oceans in your mouth.
n Shower before swimming.
n Wash your hands afer using the toilet or
changing diapers.
Take children on bathroom breaks or check dia-
pers ofen.
Change diapers in a bathroom and not at pool-
side and thoroughly clean the diaper changing
area.

resident to come in and
actually see all the new
and exciting things we
are doing.
Honestly, these con-
versation are enough
to make me want to
scream, If you sup-
port the library, WHY
DONT YOU USE
IT!!!!! ARRRRRG!!!!
Seriously, how can
you support some-
thing like the library
if you dont use it?
Honestly, the only legitimate
excuse is not being open late
enough during the week;
which I hope to remedy start-
ing in September or October.
I understand liking to buy
books, but how many do you
read more than once? Save the
$25 you would spend on the
latest bestseller by checking it
out at the library and you get
your money back from what
you paid in your property
taxes.
Dont have what you want?
Let us know. We are always
looking for new authors and
titles to add to the collection.
Ill bet we have something you
would be interested in already
in the building.
Not a reader? We under-
stand, not everyone is. How
about movies, we have a whole
stack of new DVDs.
Like a good story, how about
an audio book? We have them
available as digital downloads,
CDs, and still have a good
number of cassettes. We have
several regulars who only
check out audio books.
Tere is really no legitimate
excuse for not using the li-
brary. Its free. Its fun. Who
doesnt like free and fun?
As always, my door is open,
unless its closed.

n We are getting in new

W
e have traveled down the
Sheyenne River where it
loops around Chautauqua
Park while uncovering some of its
bridge history.
Next week well stop of in the park
itself and take a brief look at its his-
torical role as a place of education and
entertainment in early Valley City and
Barnes County.
DO I NOT DESTROY ENEMIES WHEN I MAKE THEM MY FRIENDS? ABRAHAM LINCOLN
ABOVE: This rather ordinary-looking photograph of a bend in the Sheyenne
at Chautauqua Park in Valley City happens to be one of my favorites. Ac-
cessible shoreline can be seen on both sides of the river something
long gone. The shoreline was where we would nd those things that fas-
cinate young boys: dead sh and crabs, clamshells and assorted debris.
For some reason this photograph brings to my mind the characteristic
smell of the decaying animal and vegetable matter of the river. -DS
IMMEDIATE LEFT: This very popular early tinted photograph shows the river
as it passes Chautauqua Boulevard and curves past the south side of
Chautauqua Park. -DS

TOP LEFT: This birds-eye view of Chautauqua Park was taken from the
east end of the Hi-Line trestle in 1908, shortly after construction was com-
pleted and the rust-proong applied. The pinkish-orange color of the rust-
proong can be seen on the part of the bridge that appears in the bottom
right-hand corner. This original rust-proong can still be seen today in
places where the paint has worn off. The bright color would have given the
Hi-Line a very dramatic appearance until it was painted over. -DS
