RECOGNIZED! Christy Olauson, center, was honored with the Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce Ambas-
sador Award for Customer Service for her work at Essentia Clinic in Valley City. According to the nomination
form, Olauson always has a smile on her face and she is always happy to help. She does an exceptional job at
what she does and often does more than expected. I think she deserves this award because its something to
be acknowledged when customers comment on her good work outside of the work place. Hard work deserves
recognition. (Photo submitted/Bret Haglund)

YOUR HEALTH
Assessing the bene ts of uoride
By Janie Wanek
F
luoride has long been used within
communities, dental of ces and for
at-home-use by both topical and
systemic methods.
Systemic delivery (i.e. ingestion of fuo-
ridated drinking water, fuoride supple-
ments and tablets) and topical application
use in the form of fuoridated toothpastes,
rinses and gels, either in lower dosage
over-the-counter products or higher level
prescription products have proven efec-
tive.
Fluoride reduces decay in three ways:
During tooth development the forma-
tion of fuorhydroxapate causes teeth to be
more resistant to acids.
Remineralization which occurs when
fuoride combines with tooth enamel
and tooth surfaces making them more
resistant by deterring acids which remove
minerals from tooth surfaces.
Topically applied uoride also in-
terferes with the bacterias ability to
metabolize carbohydrates which reduces
acid production also causing decay to be
reduced.
Professional topical application using a
higher concentration of fuoride than in
general public use should be applied by
dental professionals. Tese applications
were initially geared toward decay preven-
tion in children and were applied in gel or
foam formulas in a tray delivery system.
Te latest recommendation is for fuori-
dation of the adult mouth as well. It is
YOUR HEALTH: 16
H
ere is the latest news and informa-
tion from the Historic 1916 Bufalo
High School in Bualo, N.D.
Last week, the Shoppe
Girls, who are dedicated
volunteers, met at the old
school to plan activities and
events for the rest of year.
Tey decided to have a
special promotion in August
to help reduce inventory in
the Olde School Gif Shoppe
in order to be ready for the
upcoming fall and winter
season.
Te End of Summer Bar-
gains will feature handbags
and purses in all styles and
colors, fun and funky jew-
elry, kitchen gadgets, dishes
and decorations, baskets in
all shapes and sizes, and kids
play tents and sleeping bags.
Te Shoppe Girls also dis-
cussed the excitement cre-
ated by the new Man Cave
located in a small cloak
room in the foyer of the
school and the popularity
of engraved pocket knives.
Tey plan to continue hav-
ing interesting items avail-
able for men.
Te Gif Shoppe was
originally started as a garage
sale in the fall of 2011 as
a fundraiser for window
coverings in the west room
of the school.
Since then, this success-
ful project has evolved into
a charming boutique flled
with treasures both old
and new, with everything
repurposed and generously
donated for our fundraising
eforts. For a cash donation,
you can have fun shopping
in this unique gif shop
located in our historic high
school building and help
provide funding for the
many ongoing improve-
ments needed in the school.
Come for a visit and check
out our Gif Shoppe at 303
Pearl Street in Bufalo on
Tuesday mornings from 9
a.m. to noon and Tursday
afernoons from 3 to 7 p.m.
As always the cofee is on.

COLD WAR. Barnes County Senior 4-Hers toured the historical Oscar-Zero and Novermber-33
missile sites north and east of Cooperstown, witnessing rst-hand the front lines of the cold war
between the U.S. and Russia. Pictured are (from left): Mariah Schroeder, Tessa Schroeder, Erik
Milender, Shannon Bryn, and (back row) Darris Thoreson, Laura Thoreson.
Our Senior 4-hers were amazed that these top-secret facilities were literally in our back yard, said
Susan Milender, Barnes County extension agent. The trip was part of 4-Hs recent expansion into
science, technology, engineering and math focuses. According to Milender, the trip to Cooperstown
concentrated on the history of the cold war as well as the science and engineering that went into
missile technology in the 1960s. To nd out more about 4-H, call Barnes County Extension Service

Great
Grapes!
Part 2
W
hat started out in
2003 as an effort to
supply hardy wine
grapes to a nearby Casselton
winery has since blossomed
for Buffalos Rodney and Su-
san Hogen into an exceptional
example of tourism-based
agriculture.
Besides the multiple variet-
ies of hardy wine grapes the
Hogens grow and metamor-
phose into handcrafted North
Dakota wines, the couple has
has also transformed the prop-
erty theyve dubbed Red Trail
Vineyard into a fashionable
destination for visitors from
far and near.
Rodneys a people person
and is a great storyteller,
says vineyard fan Liane Stout
of Buffalo. A glass of wine
goes well with that.
That, and a guitar, which
Rodney is known to pull out
during the vineyards frequent
Friday Night Suppers, events
Rodney calls country com-
fortable and which feature
a casual dining menu such
as Juicy Lucy burgers along
with, of course, Red Trail
Vineyard wines.
We started off just growing
grapes, then it was tastings,
now its events, Rodney
says.
The vineyards latest offer-
ing, Friday Night Suppers,
draw the hungry and the curi-
ous mostly from Valley City
and Fargo, Rodney says, but
out-of-staters on tour pop in
for a bite, a swirl and a spit,
as well.
Nowadays, when people
tour the state, they kind of
know where theyre gonna go
and what theyre gonna do.
We get a lot of them, says
Rodney, whose efforts at the
vineyard are considered cut-
ting edge for North Dakota
agriculture.

THEY SAY MARRIAGES ARE MADE IN HEAVEN. BUT SO IS THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. CLINT EASTWOOD
PAGE 08
I
should warn
the reader that
we are dealing
with a time before
television, video
games and smart-
phones, a time
when the whole
countryside was a
Wellness Center
for active people, and people were
mostly pretty active. A healthy diet
was pretty much determined by
what was in season, in commercial
cans and packages, or put up for
the winter.
Choice was limited. Healthy
food meant having enough to
avoid starvation with enough vari-
ety to avoid the diseases of malnu-
trition, and enough quality control
to avoid ptomaine poisoning and
trichinosis. Vegans ate pickles. By
todays standards, danger lurked
everywhere yet liability was a
rare concern.
Tis state of afairs went on for
decades. It was a miracle anyone
survived, but I swear that they had
more fun.
Not only did our forebears have
a lot of fun of the sort that is now
largely lost to all but a few, but
as the enthusiasm generated by
the annual Chautauqua Assem-
bly demonstrated they seem to
have had much higher standards
with regard to culture and educa-
tion.
Valley Citians established an op-
era house, created a serious library,
and brought in frst-rate talent and
programs from near and far. Te
architecture of the town was excel-
lent and impressive. One looks at
photographs of how local people
dressed just to go downtown and
it becomes clear that the notion of
progress has since taken an odd
turn.
Within that vast natural Well-
ness Center, a.k.a. the Sheyenne
Valley, were pockets of focused
learning and recreation, and one
of those places was Chautauqua
Park.
Chautauqua Park is where I
learned to swim, and where I did a
great deal of fshing. I still remem-
ber with regret losing what must
have been at least a 20-pound pike
near the mouth of the N.P. Creek,
just across the river from the north
side of the park. Tat was the time
my father taught me how to set the
hook in a Big One. He suggested
that when the cork went under, I
should imagine myself casually
fetching a pack of cigarettes out of
my pocket, tapping one out, put-
ting it to my lips, returning the
pack of cigarettes to my pocket,
taking out my lighter (or match),
lighting up, taking a drag, then
setting the hook. Since I never
smoked cigarettes, this required
a lively, yet disciplined, imagina-
tion.
I also have pleasant memories of
annual picnics put on by, I believe,
the Jaycees who, not having carrot
juice, celery sticks and energy bars
available, made do with free ice
cream and lemonade. Tis event
included, besides the usual fshing,
boating and swimming, at least a
couple of sofball games, horse-
shoes for the men, and doubtlessly
something for the women but, of
course, I would not remember
that.
Perhaps the biggest event at
Chautauqua Park was the Chau-
tauqua Annual Assembly, which
took place annually during the
summers from 1911 to 1932.
Chautauqua Assemblies in-
volved a 17-day program of lec-
tures, classical music, readings,
movies and drama. Tere was a
Dairy School, a Poultry School, a
Farm Boys Encampment, a Barnes

SCHOOLS OPEN NEXT
TUESDAY:
Prospects for the Most Proft-
able School Year in the History
of Tis City
Provision is being made in
every way for the opening of the
Enderlin schools next Tuesday
morning, September 7. During
the summer the building has
been thoroughly disinfected,
blackboards re-slated, foors
freshly oiled and various nec-
essary repairs made. Teachers
are already arriving and by
next Monday afernoon, when
the frst regular teachers meet-
ing of the year will be held, all
are expected to be on hand.
Te schools are open to all
over 6 years of age. Pupils
should bring tablets and pencils
and be prepared for work the
frst morning. In the grades, free
text books are furnished. In the
high school, pupils furnish their
own texts and will be directed
what to secure at the frst class
register. Grade pupils should
bring promotion cards whether
entering from Enderlin or else-
where. Pupils in the high school
are requested to being their copy
of the school hand-book. High
school pupils expecting to take
a university or other advanced
course should read carefully the
college entrance requirements
as stated in the hand-book and
elect work accordingly. Some
of our farmer graduates have
been refused entrance to cer-
tain colleges because they have
failed to observe the require-
ments. Enderlin being a state
high school of the frst class, the
tuition in the high school is free.
In the grades a nominal charge
is made to partially cover the
annual expense. Inquiries
from new students regarding
the courses have been unusu-
ally numerous this year and the
greatest enrollment in the his-
tory of the school is expected.

Sues Comments: Te prepa-
rations for a new school year
included jobs that sound
strange to us nowadays, such
as re-slating blackboards and
oiling foors!

(A brief history of the Chautauqua Movement
may be read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chau-
tauqua.)
Attendees at these Assemblies numbered a few
thousand, and came from all over Barnes County
and the surrounding area. Tents could be pur-
chased or rented from A. J. Wright ofMoorhead,
which located on site. Food was delivered to the
campgrounds by Valley City merchants at city
prices. Tere was also a restaurant (see photo of
menu at left).
Te Assembly program was held in a large tent
until 1914 when a pavilion was constructed. It be-
came available for Chau-
tauquas in 1915. Tis
new Chautauqua Park
pavilion could seat 3,500
people.
Te annual Chautau-
qua Assemblies ceased in
1932, I suspect at least in
part due to the Great De-
pression.
In 1945, the Chautau-
qua Park Pavilion was
sold to the Winter Show,
and in 1947 the circular
auditorium was moved
from Chautauqua Park to
the Winter Show prop-
erty between Second and
Tird Streets Northeast
and between Fifh and
Sixth Avenues Northeast.

T
he Gospel of Mat-
thew records for us
a number of events
on the night in which Jesus
was betrayed. One of them is
when Jesus and His disciples
went to the Garden of Geth-
semane.
Te word Gethsemane
means olive press. Tis was
a location on the Mount of Olives that
overlooked Jerusalem from the east. And
we might say that in this place there was a
crushing, pressing of sorts that did occur.
On that night, Jesus said that His soul
was sorrowful, even to death (Mt. 26:38). It
was on this occasion that Luke tells being
in agony he (Jesus) prayed more earnestly;
and his sweat became like great drops of
blood falling down to the ground (Luke
22:44).
Jesus had gathered these friends with
Him and had asked them to watch with
Him (Mt. 26:38). But having gone away to
pray for a time, He came back to fnd them
sleeping. And so, you and I who call upon
the name of Jesus Christ recognize that
even those who are closest to Jesus are still
troubled by our weak fesh.
Jesus asks Peter, So, could you not watch
with me one hour? (Mt. 26:40). Peter
showed how quickly he failed afer having
just proclaimed that he would never fall
away from Jesus. He was weak.
To his friend who had shown his weak-
ness Jesus says, Watch and pray that you
may not enter into temptation. Te spirit

W
hile I have
had many
kinds of
conversations since I
arrived here in Valley
City, most pleasant, and
a few not, it is time I had
a conversation with all
of you readers that you
may not like. Yes, thats
right, trash talk. No, not the conversa-
tion where we stand around and call
each other names, throw around slurs
and epitaphs. You know, trash talk, gar-
bage talk, rubbish.
Recently, I have been getting more
and more calls concerning people put-
ting their garbage in someone elses
trash containers. Usually, these are the
larger trash containers that are used
by our local businesses, apartment
complexes, and other concerns, and
are placed in some dark corner of the
property where they are out-of-sight
and out-of-mind.
Te typical complaint I receive is that
someone is observed driving onto the
property of another, driving over to
the trash containers, and then empty-
ing the contents of their car, pickup
truck, trailer, etc., into the container.
You might be surprised to know, if you
are the person doing this, that you have
committed a crime.
North Dakota Century Code 12.1-
23-03, Tef of Services, states: a per-
son is guilty of thef if: 1. He intention-
ally obtains services, known by him to
be available only for compensation, by
deception, threat, false token, or other
means to avoid payment for the servic-
es; or 2. Having control over the dispo-
sition of services of another to which
he is not entitled, he knowingly diverts
those services to his own beneft or
to the beneft of another not entitled
thereto.
I live in Valley City, and like most
of you who live here too, and I pay my
monthly bill for trash collection ser-
vices. I also know, that like all of you
residential customers, I am entitled to
have picked up two (2) 32-gallon trash
cans each week for the monthly fee and
that for each extra can above the two, I

ust months ahead of a
November vote on a bal-
lot measure to dissolve
the existing State Board of
Higher Education and re-
place it with something new,
North Dakotans have gotten
a glimpse behind the public
all is wall facade they get
from their university system.
What they saw wasnt pretty.
What you get almost makes you want
to lose your will to live on this board, past
board president Grant Shaf told his fellow
board members during a not-public public
meeting held at the University of Mary at the
end of July.
We know that Mr. Shaf said this that
the board members and their consultant said
many eyebrow-raising things because I
fled an open meetings complaint with the
Attorney Generals ofce afer the public was
ordered out of the room during the meeting.
Board President Kirsten Diederich told the
audience that the meeting was still techni-
cally open to the public, but that the board
would appreciate it if the public lef so they
could have a private conversation with con-
sultant Tom Meredith, a former chancellor
of the Mississippi university system.
But afer a reader tipped me of to Dieder-
ichs strange request, I got the audio, because
the meeting was always public, and despite
subsequent claims from university ofcials
its clear they never intended their comments
to be public.
By the way, this has got to be like Las Ve-
gas, Meredith told the board members in
the room afer the public lef, referring to the
famous What happens in Vegas stays in Ve-
gas tagline. Its in here. Anybody violates
that [inaudible].
Meredith said this just as he launched into
a description of problem university presi-
dents who were running amok, and when he
said it, none of the board members can be
heard objecting.
Why would they? Afer all, Mr. Shaf took
the opportunity to say that the state of afairs
in the university system makes him not want
to live any more (lets hope thats merely hy-
perbole).

edith told the board members, noting that

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
T
he 2015 session of the North
Dakota Legislature is months
away. As in the past, the is-
sues confronting the next session
are many and they are complex.
Legislators have been meeting with
their respective interim commit-
tees throughout the past number
of months since the adjournment
of the 2013 session in an attempt to
fnd possible resolution to many of the challenges
the next session will face.
Needless to say, there are more questions than
there are answers.
One of the most challenging issues facing our
state (and most others) is maintaining our sys-
tem of roads and bridges. Te Upper Great Plains
Transportation Institute at North Dakota State
University in Fargo released a preliminary report
recently during a meeting of the Budget Section of
the legislature. Te Budget Section is comprised
of legislative leadership and the members of both
the House and Senate Appropriations Commit-
tees. Te report was preliminary due to the fact
that we are yet to hear from Congress on what the
federal highway funding level will be for the next
budget cycle. With reductions in federal funding,
more and more pressure is placed on the state and
our political subdivisions. Te Upper Great Plains
Transportation Institute did report that it will take
hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain our
system of roads and bridges for our state, counties,
cities and townships. Tis is a result of an aging in-
frastructure, increased trafc counts, heavier trafc,
and signifcant increases in the construction costs.
Infrastructure concerns are just one of many
challenges the legislature will face. Tere are
serious challenges with the care of the mentally
ill across our state. In many instances, folks wait
months for access to professional services. North
Dakota is aso dealing with a critical shortage of
addiction counselors and treatment services in
general. Te issue is very serious. Action by the
2015 session is a high priority.
Funding for K-12 Education is also an issue fac-
ing the legislative assembly. Although signifcant
increases in state funding have been made in recent
years, a number of schools with declining enroll-
ment have faced serious budget difculties. Tis is
due to a per pupil funding formula. It is expected
that the legislature will attempt to take steps neces-
sary to address this important issue.
Higher Education is facing signifcant deferred
maintenance of facilities across the state. A recent
report identifed a total of $900 million in deferred
maintenance issues across the university system.
Te report suggested that the system would need

OPINION: LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Fred
THOMPSON
Police Chief: Lets talk trash
THOMPSON: From 11
will be charges an additional $5.
Using my trash as an example, lets say I
place my two, 32-gallon trash cans out to
the curb on Tursday night, my pick-up
day is Friday, and one can is full, and the
other is half-full. Sometime late Tursday
night, someone flls the half-full can to
the brim with their trash. Friday morn-
ing when I take out more of my garbage,
lets say about a half-can worth, out to the
trash, there is no room in my trash cans.
Tis would cause me to place an additional
trash can out there, which in turn causes
me an additional charge.
Any way you look at this, the person who
put their trash in my trash can has stolen
from me services that I am paying for and
a crime has been committed.
Whether the owner of the trash can,
dumpster, bin or container is a residential
customer like me, or a business customer
like Burger King, John Deere or Leevers
grocery store, the same logic stands.
Some of these illegal trash dumpers do
this because the material they are dumping
is hazardous, or has some other restriction
that would cause them additional expense
that they care not to spend. Maybe they are
just lazy. Illegally dumping hazardous trash
of any kind would subject the dumper to
additional charges and penalties over and
above the thef of services charge, not to
mention the danger that this type of dump-
ing presents to anyone near the material.
To go with this, the person or business
responsible for that trash container is now
responsible for whatever fees and charges
are necessary for the proper disposal of the
hazardous material. Depending upon the
material, this could cost thousands of dol-
lars.
Tere will be those who say, Why doesnt
the PD go afer real crimi-
nals like burglars and
robbers, instead of these
garbage dumpers? First,
the dumping of hazardous
waste in a manner that is
not prescribed by law is a
health and safety violation
and a danger to everyone.
Second, VCPD is sworn
to uphold all the laws of
the State of North Dakota,
not just all of them except
the thef of services or
trash dumping. Lastly, the
public we serve is getting
tired of these dumpers taking advantage of
them. I know this because I get the phone
calls.
So before you dump your garbage in
someone elses trash containers, think
about the possibility of being issued a ci-
tation, or arrested and taken to jail, be-
cause you chose not to take care of your
own trash in the manner prescribed by law.
People are watching and they will contact
VCPD and we will investigate, and charge
appropriately. I dont take my trash to your
house; please dont take your trash to my
house, or anyone elses.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. MARGARET MEAD

indeed is willing but the fesh is weak (Mt.
26:41). In this we are reminded that we are
as believer made up of spirit and fesh. As
believers, we are given a new spirit that
desires to do that which God commands
and says is good. Our old fesh however,
is weak as Jesus says. Tis weakness is
shown here in the disciples falling asleep.
Our feshs weakness is shown in neglect-
ing many good things. We dont pray or
read Gods word; we skip church for vari-
ous reasons, we dont serve our neighbors
as we should. Our fesh is weak.
To the weak Jesus says, watch and pray
that you may not enter temptation. Te
weak (people like us) need this reminder
from the Savior. We are not above being
reminded. We are ofen falling asleep and
neglecting prayer but Jesus comes to us in
His word and calls us to prayer, which as
we looked at last week, is to approach the
throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
Tis text in Matthew shows the weak-
ness of the disciples but also clearly shows
the strength of Jesus. He prayed that the
will of God would be done. Tat even
though the sorrow was great and the cup
of Gods wrath was going to be poured
out completely on Him He would submit
to Gods will. He prayed that Gods will
would be done and it was. Te perfect
lamb of God, Jesus Christ was sacrifced
to ransom us who have weak and sinful
fesh. So now we pray, as Jesus taught His
disciples in the Lords Prayer, Lead us not
into temptation.

ROBINSON: From 11
$250 million per biennium not to fall any fur-
ther behind! Serious discussion will also take
place on the issue of tuition increases for the
students in the system.
As is the case with road construction costs,
most, if not all, water projects across the state
are experiencing signifcant increases in con-
struction costs. At a recent meeting of the State
Water Commission, we were informed that al-
most all water projects have experienced signif-
icant cost over runs. Te State Water Commis-
sion informed us that it typically includes a 10
percent cushion in its planning of water proj-
ects. Unfortunately, costs have been exceeding
that amount by an additional 20 percent! Tis
obviously makes planning and budgeting very
difcult.
Te legislature will also face challenges with
the shortage of afordable housing and daycare
needs across the state. Tese shortages are hav-
ing signifcant impacts on employers attempt-
ing to attract workers to our communities. Te
issue is not confned to western North Dakota.
Local fre departments will likely be seeking
additional fnancial support from the state as
well. In many communities, there are few, if any,
volunteers lef to respond to emergencies. As a
result, the responsibility ofen shifs to a neigh-
boring department placing additional burdens
on that department for labor and equipment.
Te care of our most vulnerable will always
be a challenge for the legislature. With an aging
population, and the challenge in many rural ar-
eas to access medical services, this is an issue we
cannot ignore. Te funding for our DD provid-
ers, longterm care, and our veterans, is a high
priority for the legislature. We are fortunate to
have a strong program of public transportation
and senior services in most parts of the state,
but that system needs fnancial support as well.
Transit costs continue to rise. Unfortunately,
reimbursement costs dont always keep pace.
Property tax continues to be a concern in the
state. Eforts are underway to address this visit
this issue again next January. Tis is an impor-
tant issue which we must monitor closely in the
coming months.
I could go on and on. Tis is by no means a
complete listing of the multitude of issues we
will face next January. As you can see, the 2015
session of the North Dakota Legislative Assem-
bly will be faced with many challenges. Some
old and some new. Some have suggested that
with the current furry of activity in our state,
not only in the west, but indeed across the state,
it may well be time to consider an abbreviated
session of the legislature in even numbered
years. Te session could make important bud-
get adjustments and address other pressing
needs that should not be put of until the reg-
ular session. Tat debate has been with us for
years. I expect it to intensify.

Apartments are so expensive in Williston
that landlords are thinking of renting them
by 8-hour increments. Some Eastern pub-
lication has claimed that rent is higher in

out about even.
Te EPA has set CO2 reduction goals for
all the states. Even though North Dakotas
goal is lower than other states, the coal
folks are up in arms. EPA is putting their
feet to the fre, so as to speak.
Unless we use some of the oil money to
fnd a solution for this CO2 problem, coal
is going to end up as the Edsel of the en-

no place to burn.

ARTIE
Artie and Baby are mother and son and a
bonded pair. They love to hang out with
anyone who will pay attention to them. When
they came to SVFA, they were being fostered
separately and a little anxious being apart,
but now that theyre back together, they are
happy little dogs. Because theyre a bonded
pair, were offering a discounted adoption fee
so they can spend the rest of their lives
together in their forever home. Both Baby, 8,
and Artie, 7, are house trained.

party, 4-year-old Georgia is your gal!
She loves people. Shes staying with

I LIKE LONG WALKS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE TAKEN BY PEOPLE WHO ANNOY ME. FRED ALLEN
PORT: From 11
presidents who have now pushed out two
chancellors in less than a decade.
When you say we need to work with
our experts on the campuses and things
like that, I agree with that, but Im not so
sure this board is able to completely trust
the information that comes up from the
campuses, Shaf told Meredith at another
point in the conversation, calling a recent
report from the campuses on admissions
bunk.
Tats right. Bunk. As in, Shaf doesnt
feel he can trust the universities to pro-
vide the board with accurate informa-
tion. Instead, Shaf seems to feel that the
universities serve up self-serving, well,
bunk.
Even the most ardent apologist for the
universities must admit thats a pretty fun-
damental breakdown in governance. And
when Shaf made these remarks, none of
the other board members objected.
It gets worse.
Tis board has never known how to
hold anybody accountable, Shaf said.
Hes right. One need look no further
than the Dickinson State University di-
ploma mill fasco where the only man
fred was the president, Richard McCal-
lum, as if he single handedly doctored the
grades and transcripts upon which those
hundreds of phony degrees were based.
Short of a crime, nobody gets held
accountable here, Shaf went on to say,
but even thats understating it. Clearly, at
Dickinson State, some administrators did
get away with a crime. Nobody has ever
been charged for that fraud.
Your retention rates and graduation
rates are just abysmal, Meredith told
board members, stating a fact obvious to
everyone outside of the university system
but refuted by defensive university of-
cials. Tey just are, he said of the self-
evident truth.
Meredith summed it up with one of his
fnal comments to the board during the
closed meeting: Youve got to step up.
Te public is crying for you to step up.
Hes right. And if this board doesnt
step up in a big way, the public can fre
them come November.
But that might not be enough. What we
learned from this audio is the real prob-
lem in the university system lays with ar-
rogant university-level leadership.

WINE: From 7
Thats not because North Dakota-grown and
produced wine is rare not now, anyway. Today,
there are six vineyards in Cass County alone.
But most would argue thats because the Hogens
have largely led the way... starting with Rodneys
stint in 2006 and 2007 as president of the then-
newly formed North Dakota Grape Growers As-
sociation; followed by the construction of an on-
premises tasting room and commercial kitchen at
the vineyard; followed by the founding of Red
Trail Vineyards Annual Grape Harvest Festival
and Grapestomp (just held last weekend, by the
way); and now... its suppers.
You know why we call them Friday Night
Suppers, instead of Dinners? Because the country
folk think dinner is at noon and the city folk think
dinner is at 6, quips Rodney.
Problem solved. Supper it is.
If youd like to join the Hogens for what theyre
calling The Last Supper of the season, reserva-
tions are required, with room for only 25-30 peo-
ple per supper.
Save a spot by phoning Rodney: Red Trail
Vineyard Tasting Room, 701-633-5392; or Rod-
neys direct line, 701-238-3337; or shoot him an
email at rehogen@yahoo.com
Or pop by the vineyards wine tasting room
from noon to 4 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays or Sun-
days and give Red Trails handcrafted vino a try.
Currently available for tasting and purchase are
the following Red Trail labels: Frontenac Gris;
Red Trail Red (a Frontenac thats been sweet-
ened); Red Trail White (a blend); Alpha Rose;
and Valient (made from an old grape, frst pro-
duced in the 40s).
Three additional wines are also in the works,
now available for tasting and, if youre lucky,
also for sale: a red wine made from the Petite
Pearl grape; 2-1-17, an experimental sauvignon;
and 1-1-34, also experimental.
Theyre all too new to have a name, Rodney
says.
The Petite Pearl introduction is nine years in
the making.
Production is slow coming. You plant the
vines, then after four or fve years, hopefully you
have a little to sell, Rodney says.
Red Trail Vineyard is located at 3510 142nd
Ave. SE, Buffalo. NLZ
WHATS ANOTHER WORD FOR THESAURUS? STEVEN WRIGHT
YOUR HEALTH: From 2
believed fuoride can aid adults with
dry mouth, gum recession, root expo-
sure, sensitivity and dietary factors. Al-
though gels and trays can still be used,
a newer delivery system to be recom-
mended is a fuoride varnish. Tese
varnishes are approved by the FDA to
reduce tooth sensitivity and as a cavity
liner. Although not labeled for cavity
protection, varnishes are considered ac-
ceptable for that use.
Tese newer fuoride var-
nishes applied in a dental
ofce are now easy to use,
taste better and a smaller
amount is needed for efec-
tiveness.
Fluoride varnish can be
used for both adults and
children. Varnishes are a
safer recommendation for
young children because the
quantity used is less and
there is minimal ingestion
since the varnish adheres to
the teeth. Te adhesive fac-
tor also extends delivery of
the fuoride to the enamel
which maximizes the up-
takes and thus the beneft.
Varnishes are usually ap-
plied two to four times per
year depending on the de-
cay risk of the individual.
Again fuoride varnish can
be used for both adults and
children and can be part of
public health programs for
prevention of decay.
Although fuoride has been available
in various forms for a long time and
remains an efective means for decay
prevention throughout a persons life
span, good communication is necessary
between dental health professionals and
the community to maximize benefts
and minimize risk.

SCHLECHT: From 9
common practice today, such as teacher meetings or work-
shops and the need for student handbooks.
It is interesting to note that high school students could
take university or advanced courses much the same as to-
days students can take dual credit classes. From an article
Sept. 9, 1915, we learn that the total enrollment on opening
day in 1915 was 385 students with only 63 in high school
and the rest in grades 18.
Tis was before the addition was added at the Enderlin
School a few years later, doubling the size of this frst brick
school building, so students were grouped with multiple
grades to a classroom, much like the old country schools.
Because of the large enrollment, they had to order more
seats and textbooks.
Sue Schlecht is co-director of the Enderlin Historical Society and Museum. Reach
her by email: swschlecht@mlgc.com
A total of 40 people volunteered to donate blood, and 34 were able to give during an Aug. 11
blood drive held at the VFW in Valley City.
Five people gave blood on United Blood Services automated 2RBC machine, which collects two
units of red blood cells during the donation, so a total of 39 products were collected. One of the
donors was a frst-timer.
Rose Wendt coordinated the drive, and the AmVet Ladies Auxiliary sponsored and assisted
with recruiting donors, publicity, providing refreshments, and registering donors. Others who
assisted the day of the drive were: Lucile Riden, Edna Elsner, Lorraine Jenson, Kathy Brobst and
Connie Ertelt.
Space to hold the drive was provided at the VFW.
