I
nfuenza is a serious viral
disease that can lead
to hospitalization and
sometimes death. Every fu
season is diferent, and the
fu can afect people difer-
ently. Even healthy people
can get very sick from the fu
and spread it to others.
Flu season in the U.S. can
begin as early as October and last as late
as May. Te best way to reduce the chance
of getting the fu is to get an annual fu
vaccine. When more people are vaccinat-
ed in a community, the less likely infu-
enza spreads among all age groups.
Te fu vaccine protects against the
viruses that research indicates will be
the most common during the infuenza
season. Te traditional fu vaccines (called
trivalent) are made to protect against
three fu virus strains, two types of A and
one type B.
In addition, there are fu vaccines that
are now available that protect against
four strains (called quadrivalent). Tese
vaccines protect against the same viruses
as the trivalent vaccine and an additional
B strain. Last year was the frst this was
available.
Tere are several fu vaccine options
available for the 2014-15 fu season
that are either trivalent or quadrivalent:
traditional injectable, intradermal, and
the nasal spray. For those that have egg
allergies, a trivalent egg-free vaccine has
been developed and is available at some
providers. Te nasal mist vaccine is a qua-
drivalent vaccine approved for healthy
people 2 through 49 years of age. In
recent years the nasal mist has become
more requested for healthy children
with no chronic diseases. Tere is also
a high-dose trivalent vaccine approved
for those 65 and older.
While there are many options avail-
able for infuenza vaccine, the most
important thing is for all people six
months and older to get an annual fu vac-
cine. If you have questions about which
vaccine is best for you, visit with your
health care professional.
Everyone six months and older should
get a fu vaccine every year, but it is es-
pecially important for those who are at a
higher risk of developing serious com-
plications. Tis includes individuals who
have certain medical conditions (such
as asthma, diabetes, heart and chronic
lung disease), pregnant women, individu-
als younger than fve years of age and 65
years of age and older, and those who live
with or care for others who are at high
risk of developing serious complications.
Flu vaccination should begin soon afer
vaccine becomes available, ideally by Oc-
tober. However, as long as fu viruses are
circulating, vaccination should continue
to be ofered throughout the fu season,
even in January or later.
While seasonal infuenza outbreaks can
happen as early as October, during most
seasons infuenza activity peaks in Janu-
ary or later.

H
ere is the latest news and information-
Here is the latest news and informa-
tion from the Historic 1916 Bufalo
High School in Bufalo, ND.
Come for a Visit, Stay
for a Story has been our
motto since Bufalo hosted
the University of North
Dakotas Community Connect
Forum in April 2012 when we
welcomed several hundred
visitors to our community.
A few weeks ago we were
delighted to have a family
stop by the high school on
their way to Willow Creek,
Montana, where their great
grandfather had homesteaded.
Te two brothers and two
sisters, dressed in vintage bib
overalls, were traveling from
Proctor, Minn., in a pristine
1929 Model A Ford.
We learned they were
reenacting the road trip their
grandfather had taken eighty
four years ago with his seven
children and were using his
atlas from 1930 to guide
them along the old roads and
highways.
We made them feel wel-
come in Bufalo. Te presi-
dent of the Bufalo Park Board
located a camp site in our RV
Park and directed them to our
Old 10 Saloon for good food.
Te president of the Bufalo
Historical Society encouraged
them to get their supplies for
their road trip at the Bufalo
Food Market and our local
gas station KGR. We gave
them a jar of wild plum jelly
made by one of our dedicated
volunteers and invited them to
come back to see us again.
We are always happy to
see new faces and make new
friends. Tis week we wel-
comed a couple from Missouri
who came for a visit because
they knew someone, who
knew someone who lives here,
who invited them to come
for a visit! We made sure the
cofee was on and gave them a
warm welcome.
As always, we invite you to
come for a visit and stay for a
story. Te Olde School Gif
Shoppe is open every Turs-
day from 3 to 6 p.m. Please
check out the webpage at
www.bufalond.com or call me
at 701-412-4485 to learn more
about the Historic 1916 Bufalo High School.

New exhibits now on display
T
he Enderlin Museum will feature
several new exhibits during the
upcoming SunFest Celebration
set for Sept. 18-21. Te new exhibits and
displays are the culmination of a lengthy
planning and installation process, ac-
cording to museum co-director Sue
Schlecht.
Te primary new exhibit features
the historic Lindemann Building and
the many business which existed under
the one roof, beginning in 1921 when
the building was constructed by Carl
Lindemann to house the early busi-
nesses of his sons, Schlecht said. Te
display features many artifacts and pho-
tos of these businesses including tractor
and automobile sales, radio and televi-
sion sales and repair, news stand and
lunch counter, liquor and frearms sales,
musical instrument sales and repair and
many other businesses.
Most of the artifacts and photos on
display were provided by the descen-
dants of Carl Lindemann.
Another newly developed exhibit
features photos and history of military
academy graduates who are graduates of
Enderlin High School, including that of
one graduate dating back to 1917.
Te featured young men received ap-
pointments to various academies from
their Congressional delegation and
completed the rigorous course necessary
to graduate from the academy.
Names and faces will be familiar to
many of you, Schlecht said.
A quilt top made in 1950 by the
ladies of West St. Olaf Lutheran Church
is also on display and features embroi-
dered names of many local residents.
Tis quilt top was in the possession of
Harold Vee and was donated to the mu-
seum by his family. Also on display with
this artifact is a large photo of the West
St. Olaf congregation taken in the 1940s
and donated by Terry Olson.
Tese, along with many additional
recently-acquired artifacts, will be on
display during special extended museum
hours on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
In addition, the museum will be open
during its regular summer hours Turs-

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
CALENDAR
BY STEVE HAMMEL
Valley City - Barnes County
Library Director
H
ello Barnes County. One of
the many things I was hired
to do as library director is
to increase our number of active
patrons. As I write this, our present
number of active patrons is 4,177 or
38 percent of Barnes Countys popu-
lation. Our target is 65 percent, or
7,150 active accounts.
So far we have been doing an okay
job. Since September last year, we
have added about 300 new patrons,
people who never had a card before.
A 7 percent increase is pretty respect-
able; there are a lot of businesses that
would like to add that percentage of
new customers in a year.
Additionally, each month we re-
activate several expired accounts for
patrons who have not used the library
in years.
Tere are about 1,500 school age
children in Barnes County and 63
percent of them have an active card.
Were doing a really good job getting
younger children to use the library:
854 cards.
Teens, not so much with only 87.
Teens are a tough group to get using
the library. As a rough guess we have
about 500 teens living in Barnes
County so we have our work cut out
for us. We are moving in the right
direction however, in June there were
only 43 teens who had cards.
Parents and grandparents of teen-
agers you need to stress the impor-
tance of using library resources for
research. We have excellent resources
available and students have the ad-
ditional beneft of a fully trained,
experienced research librarian, with
an advanced degree in library and
information science, who is here to
assist them if needed.
So why all this discussion and
statistics? Easy, September is National
Library Card Signup Month. Legend-
ary comic creator Stan Lee is serving
as the Honorary Chair of Library
Card Sign-up Month. A voracious
reader from an early age, Lee recalls
that if it hadnt been for libraries he
could never have aforded all the
books he wanted to read.
Lee encourages everyone, particu-
larly children and teens, to sign up for
the most important school supply of
all, a library card the key to knowl-
edge and a life-long love of reading
and learning.
Having a library card, its like
having a key to all the information in
the world, says Lee. When you have
a library card you can read anything
about anything, and I have found that
whatever you read, it doesnt matter,
it increases your fund of knowledge.
A library card is the Open Sesame to
all the knowledge in the world.
So here it is. I am making a chal-
lenge to everyone who is reading this
and has not been in the library in the
last six months, particularly those of
you who do not have a card: Some-
time during the month of September
come in, look around, and talk with
me about your interests. I guarantee
I can fnd information to support
that interest. If I fail, I will put it in

A
tornado warning
sounds, and you
have to get to safety
quickly. An anhydrous am-
monia tanker crashes near
your home, and youre told
to shelter in place. Te
power goes out, and you
have food in the fridge or
livestock fans to run.
September is National
Preparedness Month, and
its a great time to prepare
your family and home for
various disasters that might
come your way.
Te Federal Emergen-
cy Management Agency
(FEMA) and Extension Di-
saster Education Network
(EDEN) recommend three
steps:
Be Informed
Have a weather alert
radio that will provide
tornado, food and other
warnings.
Keep your cell phone
charged and with you to
receive wireless emergency
alert texts.
Know what your city
or county plans are for di-
sasters that may strike your
area.
Design homes for di-
sasters that are more likely
to strike your area; for ex-
ample, slope yards away
from homes so rain fows
away.
Build a Kit
In case of disaster, emer-
gency responders cant
reach everyone immedi-
ately. Every family should
be prepared to be on its
own for at least three days.
Gather these supplies, and
store them together:
Water 1 gallon of wa-
ter per person per day for
drinking and sanitation
Food at least a three-
day supply of nonperish-
able food
Battery-powered or
hand-crank
radio and
a NOAA
We a t h e r
Radio with
tone alert
and extra
batteries for
both
Flash-
light and extra batteries
First aid kit
Whistle to signal for
help
Dust mask to help lter
contaminated air, and plas-
tic sheeting and duct tape
to shelter in place
Moist towelettes, gar-
bage bags and plastic ties
for personal sanitation
Wrench or pliers to turn
of utilities
Manual can opener for
food
Local maps in case you
are not familiar with the
evacuation route
Cell phone with char-
gers, inverter or solar char-
ger
You also may need to in-
clude:
Prescriptions and over-
the-counter medications
Books and other activi-
ties to keep children and
adults busy
Pet food and other sup-
plies
Cash
Important family docu-
ments
Any other items that
you might need to be in
your home on your own
for three days. See a list of
possibilities at www.ready.

People ofen ask me if it is hard to make a living as a musician. I think it is re-
ally hard to make a
living as a record-
ing artist but that
is not the same as
making a living as
a musician.
When I was
younger I dreamed about making
a living playing concerts and trav-
eling the country and I have been
able to do that for a good share of
my career but it didnt start out that
way. I always had dreams of becom-
ing the next James Taylor or Simon
and Garfunkel but once I lef college
I had to pay my rent and put food
on the table and record companies
werent exactly breaking down my
door!

successful handful of artists but

BY ASHLEY DOMINO
Te enrollment trend for most
area K-12 schools is sitting around
the same as the previous school
year but Valley City State Universi-
tys student count is again way up.
Looking at numbers from most
public schools around the area, the
student counts are down. Barnes
County North is down from last
years 312 to 276 this year. Maple
Valley had 238 students and was
projecting a lower number for this
year.
Tere have been three schools to
break out of the mold this year; St.
Kates, Valley City State University,
and Enderlin. St. Kates was at 51
last year and this year was look-
ing at around 60 students. VCSU
is also sitting higher, going from
1,083 in 2009, 1,366 last year, and
projecting higher numbers for this
year. Enderlin is looking at over a
dozen new students this year from
324 jumping up to 338 or more.
Lisbon was the only school this
year who reported their numbers
to be sitting the same as last year.
Last year, Lisbon had 615 students,
which although is down from 10
years ago, is still averaging about
the same over the last six years.
Even though its student numbers
stayed the same, its staf had a bit of
a fuctuation over the last year.
We had to fll 12 licensed posi-
tions this year out of the 64 we keep
on staf for teachers, said Steve
Johnson, Lisbon District Super In-
tendant.
With a very high number of
retirees, Johnson felt they put to-
gether the best team they could,
for the low number of applicants.
Although our numbers have been
down as far as the number of appli-
cants, we did fll them all. Probably
the toughest decision we had to fll
was the high school science with
a specialty in physics and physical
science; and the other was a special
educator on the high school level.
Enderlin is employing 32 teach-
ers, Lisbon has 64 teachers, Barnes
County North has around 25 staf,
and Maple Valley has 34 teachers.
VCSU has the highest number of
staf considering its huge size com-
pared to the other schools, employ-
ing 200 staf and professors.

FAITHFULLY
The Spirit will aid us in our weakness
By the Rev.

I
n Romans 8, the Apostle
Paul is providing to us
some of the greatest and
most reassuring words we
could ever hear. Te frst
verse unloads a full load of
good news.
Verse one says, Tere is
therefore now no condem-
nation for those who are in
Christ Jesus. He continues to speak about
the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing
about spiritual life.
As the chapter continues, Paul doesnt
deny the sufering and difculties of today.
He describes the groaning and futility we
see in this world. He ties this together with
the life that we live in this world; a life of
faith and hope. In this life sometimes we
pray not knowing how we will continue
on. Sometimes we are praying that we
could have the strength or energy just to
keep going but not knowing whether that
is possible. Sometimes we dont know how
to pray.
Romans 8 tells us something about the
work of the Holy Spirit and prayer that
should be greatly comforting to us. Ro-
mans 8:26 says, Likewise the Spirit helps
us in our weakness. For we do not know
what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit
himself intercedes for us with groaning too
deep for words.
Tere is no doubt that our understanding
of the world and even our very near sur-
roundings are limited. We dont know the
circumstances behind many of the life and
FAITHFULLY: 15
W
hen analyzing
current events,
the past is always
a good guide. Tat remains
true as North Dakota voters
struggle with what to make
of the news of Tax Com-
missioner Ryan Rauschen-
bergers admission that he
has a drinking problem and
is seeking treatment for it.
In August of 2006. Rep. Merle Boucher,
Democrat, announced that he was seeking
treatment for alcohol addiction.
Boucher was on the ballot that year in
Legislative District 9, though facing no op-
ponent. Boucher got treatment and stayed
on the ballot. He was re-elected and served
in the state House through 2011.
His political party continued to hold him
in high esteem. In 2010, he represented the
Democrats on the statewide ticket, running
against Republican Doug Goehring for
Agriculture Commissioner, a race he ulti-
mately lost.
We support Merles decision to seek
help, Democrat state party chairman Jim
Fuglie said at the time of Bouchers an-
nounced decision to get help. Its not an
easy thing to do, and we commend him for
it. He has been a strong leader for us in the
state House of Representatives.
We fnd echoes of Fuglies words in
NDGOP Chairman Bob Harms recent
comments about Rauschenberger seek-
ing treatment. Our hearts and prayers go
out to Ryan as he seeks professional help
for this disease, Harms said in a state-
ment last week afer I broke the news on
SayAnythingBlog.com of Rauschenbergers
struggle with alcohol. He is an incredibly
talented and capable individual who, like
many of us, must face the challenges life
sometimes gives us.
Republicans no doubt hope that
Rauschenberger can make a turnaround
like Boucher did.
Rauschenberger deserves a chance to try.
During recent media interviews I have
been asked if I think Rauschenberger
should resign. Afer all, the Grand Forks
Herald editorial board has suggested it, as
has Rauschenbergers Democrat opponent
Jason Astrup.
But before I make up my mind, I need
more information.
I want to hear Rauschenberger speak
afer hes spent some time in intensive

OPINION: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
From Horseshoe Championships
to the operating table
Letter from Rory Gabel
Valley City, N.D.
T
he last three weeks have been a
busy time for Wilbur Gabel. First
up, three weeks ago Wilbur won
the State Elders Singles Championship in
Horseshoes for the third consecutive year,
then last weekend he and his Grandson
Noah teamed up to win the State Class A
Doubles Championship. Noah also won his
fourth State Cadet Singles Championship
the week before.
Ten on last Tuesday, Wilbur went in for
some tests at the hospital and they kept him
in and scheduled open heart surgery with
Dr. Roxanne Newman for Tursday morn-
ing Sept. 11.
Afer fve hours of intense surgery, two
valves repaired, quadruple bypass and
some other interesting work, he made it
through. Te frst night in intensive care
he had some issues but then about one in
the morning he turned the corner and has
steadily been improving.
As of this writing, he is walking around
and doing great only a couple of days af-
ter surgery. Wilbur is already talking about
getting back to practicing his horseshoes.
We told him he probably will have to back
up 10 feet or he will be overthrowing the
pits with his new heart work. He said the
last game of his Championship, it took all
he had to get the horseshoe to the stake,
now we know why.
Our family would like to thank Dr. New-
man and crew and those who were praying
for Wilbur. To send him get well wishes,
send them to: Sanford Hospital, Box 2010,
Fargo, ND 58122 --Wilbur Gabel,
room 273. He should be there for
another week.
A word against profling
Letter from Lloyd Nelson
Valley City, N.D.
A
ll too ofen when one person
from a group does some-
thing wrong, we assume
they are all bad and label them as
such.
Unfortunately, because of a few,
motorcyclists have somewhat got-
ten a bad name.
True, there are some that have
caused it, but most cyclists are
good, decent people and deserve
our respect for many of the things
they have done for society.
For example, just a few of the runs they
have had for the communities in which
they live are: Headstart Program; Wellness
in the Valley (Suicide Prevention); Special
Olympics; Shriners Childrens Hospitals;
Beneft runs for Illnesses and Accidents;
Lions Club eyeglasses for needy; Donations
for fre victims; Make a Wish; Hospice;
Cancer Support; Anne Carlson School;
Wounded Warriors; Guard Unit Support
Groups; Sexual assault Response Team; St.
Judes Childrens Hospitals; Roger Maris
Cancer Center; Prairie St. Johns in Fargo;
and September 911.
I am sure there are many others that I am
not aware of.
Te next time you see or come in contact
with a motorcyclist, wave to him/her, say
Hi, or nod and smile.
36th Annual Hillclimb: A recap
Letter from Michael Million McGough
Rogers, N.D.
I
t was 5:50 a.m. Sunday, June 15. Fathers
Day. I just arrived at the Dakota Rider
Hill Climb Grounds and the phone be-
gan to ring.
Are you guys still havin the Hill Climb
today? asked the caller.
Yes, we are, I replied happily
I assumed there would be more calls like
that one considering the overcast sky and
the slight mist of rain that seemed unend-
ing. And there were a great many more
phone calls and text messages asking about
the event. Forty-eight phone calls and 17
text messages to be exact, at least on my
phone.
Te show went on, however. Afer talk-
ing with the climbers we decided to shoot
for an 11 a.m. start instead of our usual 10
a.m. slot. It worked out perfect! Our always
entertaining announcer A.J. Gainer was
on hand for what turn out to be one of the
most competitive Hill Climbs we have had
in 36 years.
Tat little bit of rain was just enough to
turn the face of our beloved hill into high
grip drag strip. Te motorcycles were scor-
ing times in the frst heat of the 125cc Class,
which rarely happens; at least not until
most of the other bikes have sculpted the
lines for the race.
Te attendance was very good as well, es-
pecially if you were to consider the weather.
Te vendors were busy, a couple vendors
sold out of food before the end of the day.
Oh and those phone calls and text mes-
sages I was telling you about, they stopped
around 1:30 p.m. At least that is what I
thought until I turned the laptop on the
next morning and saw emails and Face-
book messages asking the same thing. If
you dont see the humor in emailing a biker
about an event the day of, you may be one
of the senders.
In case you missed the fnal results well,
here they are: Youngest Rider - Emma Gra-
banski, 3 years old; 55cc Mini Class - Teagan
Jelinek - 127 feet; 65-85cc Small Wheel Class
- Jake Sott - 132 feet; 85cc Big Wheel Class
- Brooke Hoenhause - 119 feet; 125cc Class
- Jarett Anderson - 7.3 seconds; 250cc Class
- Arnie Jelinek - 4.87 seconds; 450cc Class
- Chad Jelinek - 4.69 seconds; 600cc Class
- Arnie Jelinek - 4.53 seconds; Open Class -
Robert Bergner - 4.62 seconds; Powder Class
- Amy Dahl - 188 feet; Senior Class - Dean
Dahl - 5.15 seconds; and 80 Open - Mitch
Dahl - 4.657 seconds.
Te 2014 King of the Hill, the rider with
the fastest time of the day, was Arnie Jelinek
with a time of 4.53 seconds in the 600cc
Class.
Te Dakota Riders Motorcycle Club
would like to thank our 2014 Hill Climb
Sponsors: Bessette Motors; Pifers Auction

THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY. ITS UP TO YOU TO DRAW IT. B. QUILLIAM
OPINION: LLOYD OMDAHL
M
easure 4 on the Novem-
ber ballot is the latest
attempt by the Legisla-
ture to restrict citizen use of the
initiative process by which voters
can propose measures for a vote
of the people.
If passed, it would prohibit the
secretary of state from putting
on the ballot any citizen proposal
that would direct the expenditure
of money for a specifc purpose.
Apparently, legislators question
the intelligence of the voters.
Tis is the latest in a never-end-
ing series of attempts by the Leg-
islature to make it more difcult
for citizens to use the initiative. In
the past, most attempts have been
aimed at raising the number of
signatures required for fling peti-
tions. Tey all failed.
Tis time the Legislature wants
to be sure that it has exclusive
control over the huge surpluses in
the state treasury.
It is afraid that
citizens who see
neglected needs
will win the sup-
port of the elector-
ate to appropriate
money.
Te Legislature
should be remind-
ed that these surpluses would
not exist without the adoption in
1980 of a measure initiated by the
people to add a 6.5 percent tax
on oil production. Te Legisla-
ture was doing nothing about the
puny oil tax it had levied 25 years
earlier.
Lets look at the Legislatures
track record.
First, theres the Legislatures
mismanagement of the money
from the tobacco settlement
in which North Dakota was
awarded over $800 million. Even
though Former Atty Gen. Heidi
Heitkamp won the lawsuit, the
Legislature was quick to grab the
money for programs other than
fghting tobacco addiction.
To get the Legislature back on
track, Heitkamp and other to-
bacco fghters initiated a measure
directing the Legislature to spend
tobacco settlement money on
tobacco addiction. Te voters ap-
proved the measure.
But the 2013 Legislature, in a
petulant ft, refused to accept the
decision of the voters. It started
stripping out key provisions of
the initiated measure. Te efort
failed only when the leadership
could not muster the two-thirds
vote needed to change an initiated
measure.
Meanwhile, the Legislature held
the appropriation hostage until
the last day of the session when it
relented and belligerently ap-
proved funding the program to
fght tobacco addiction.
By proposing Measure 4,
the Legislature is telling North
Dakota citizens that they are not
to be trusted with money. Many
citizens feel the same way about
the Legislature. Tat is why we
have provisions in the state con-
stitution for the initiative and the
referendum.
Tere are pressing needs that
have been neglected by the Legis-
lature and may require initiative
petitions to appropriate money in
the future.
One is the need for more sup-
port for clean water, conservation
and parks. Even if Measure No. 5
proposing a signifcance increase
in such funding is defeated, the
need will not go away. A new ini-
tiated measure may be necessary.
A recent public opinion poll
revealed strong public support for
such programs.
Another critical need is funding
for statewide preschool educa-
tion. Te last session did nothing
except authorize cash-strapped
school districts to raise their own
money for preschool. Tere is
wide public support for preschool
education. Tis may require an
initiated measure.
Generally speaking, the gov-
ernor and the Legislature have
done quite well with state money.
Nevertheless, the Legislature
sometimes develops blind spots
when it comes to new needs and
new opportunities.
Historically, North Dakota citi-
zens have been very responsible
in dealing with money issues on
the ballot. Tere is no justifcation
for questioning their intelligence.
Measure 4 is an unnecessary
restriction on citizen participation
in their government.

Legislature questions intelligence of North Dakotas voters
STAGE: From 8
analysis is making a living.
I started out as a folk singer
playing cofeehouses for $20
a night but soon realized I
couldnt live on that and my
parents couch forever.
A drummer friend of mine
told me that he had played
with some wedding bands
and had gotten paid really
well so I decided to put a
wedding band together. Of
course that meant learning
a whole new set of songs
including standards, Latin,
dance music as well as rock
and roll. Te payof was very
benefcial though as I went
from making $20 a night to
$200 a night.
If you average 2-3 wed-
ding a weekend you are
making a living. Trow in a
$100 nursing home gig and
a few restaurants during the
week and life is starting to
look pretty good. And once
the wedding band took of I
was making $500-$600 per
gig.
I also opened a demo stu-
dio in my apartment to re-
cord my own stuf as well
as other peoples. Te key
to making a living in music
is that you need to match
your talents with what pays.
I have friends who write
commercials, who do studio
work, play on Broadway or
are on the road with name
acts. You need to decide that
you want to frst BE a full
time musician, then iden-
tify your skills, learn tunes
and treat it like the job that
it is. It may also mean that
you have to move to where
the work is. If you want to
design cars live in Detroit,
make movies live in LA, be
a farmer, North Dakota will
do. It is however very dif-
fcult to make a full time
living in North Dakota as a
musician because there are
so few people here and so
few paying gigs and places
to play. Tere also isnt much
of a recording scene here ei-
ther but that said there are a
few people doing diferent
things in ND.
One can always teach but
that was never something
that I wanted to do. One
also needs to keep up with
the times as well. My 40
year career has seen tremen-
dous changes in how music
is recorded and delivered
and you need to adjust your
business model accordingly
I was very lucky. My brother
and I were able to team up
with a friend of ours, put a
successful group together
and travel. the country do-
ing concerts and shows.
Tere is no such thing as
an overnight success. Most
people have been in the in-
dustry paying their dues and
waiting for that big break.
But even if it never comes
they are still in the business.
Like with all projects noth-
ing lasts forever so you must
be prepared to adjust to the
times as projects run their
course. Here are a few tips
Ive picked up along the way.
Never turn down a gig be-
cause gigs lead to other gigs.
Surround yourself with peo-
ple who are successful doing
what you want to do. Always
do your best no matter how
large or small the crowd. Te
best paying gigs arent always
the most fun and no one can
play for everybody so fnd
and cater to your audience.
You may never make it big,
aford the fancy mansion
and lifestyle of the recording
star but there is a living
to be made doing what you
love. If you are willing to ex-
pand your musical horizons,
acquire the skills that people
will pay you for and be will-
ing to go for it, success can
be attained. Tat may mean
of course that you may have
to work nights and week-
ends or do some traveling or
work on some holidays but I
tell all of the young, aspiring
musicians I meet to go for it.
It is said that if you love what
you do then you will never
really work a day in your
life! I have loved my life as
a musician. Sure there were
some hard times and some
not so great gigs, the details
of which would probably
make an interesting column
but I wouldnt trade my life
for anything. Music is my
life. I like to say we get paid
to move the gear because we
would play for free. I would
like nothing better than to
die on stage, right afer the
encore of course! Well see
how it goes but it has been
a great ride so far. So until
next time Ill see you from
the stage.

FAITHFULLY: From 10
death situations that are
currently facing people we
know and love.
Te reality is that even in
connection with ourselves,
the person we know the
best, we do not always know
how to pray. It is a weakness
that we have. At my home,
we have been trying to teach
our children about prayer
and how to pray. Tis teach-
ing is happening primarily
at meal times and when we
are putting them to bed. As a
father I will ofen ask which
of the children would like
to pray for the meal we are
about to receive. One of the
children, ofen very eagerly
will say that they would like
to pray and then we begin to
pray.
It is a joy to hear my chil-
dren pray and also has taught
me about prayer. Something
happens fairly ofen (enough
that I have noticed at least)
when the kids pray. Tey
will begin to pray about var-
ious things on their minds
and then will fnish their
prayer without actually
praying about the meal that
we are about to eat. So my
wife or I will prompt them
to pray for the meal. For a
while the quick additional
prayer went something like,
Lord, I pray that this food
will taste good.
Children can be an easy
target sometimes, but I
know that all of us are of-
ten wrapped up in many
things that distract us from
prayer and distract us dur-
ing prayer. We sometimes
simply do not know what to
pray for. May God lead us to
repentance.
What Jesus said in the Gar-
den of Gethsemane is true,
Te spirit indeed is willing
but the fesh is weak (Mat-
thew 26:41). So with great
weakness, even in prayer,
we thank God reassurance
we hear from the book of
Romans that the Holy Spirit
Himself intercedes for us.

treatment. I want to hear
him explain what happened
over the Labor Day holiday
leading up to his poor de-
cision to lend his car to an
apparently drunk man, who
subsequently ran it into a
light pole.
I want to hear Rauschen-
berger make his case for
continuing as North Dako-
tas Tax Commissioner.
When news broke of
Rauschenbergers struggles
many in the political world,
including Democrats, in-
sisted that what was most
important was Rauschen-
bergers health. Alcoholism
is an all-too-common af-
fiction, they said, but one
from which full recovery is
possible.
Some of these same people
are now changing their tune,
hinting that Rauschenberger
should resign immediately.
As the campaign season
goes on, and Democrats get
a sense of the opening they
have to put one of their own
back into a statewide elected
ofce, those hints are going
to become more strident.
More insistent.
Tats opportunism talk-
ing. Tese people sense
blood in the water, and poli-
tics seems to be trumping
empathy.
Boucher proved that
North Dakota voters can
be forgiving of struggles
with alcohol, and thats as it
should be.
If the treatment doesnt
take, then Rauschenberger
can step down. But maybe it
will, and maybe this all was
the rock bottom he needed
to rebound.
And maybe that rebound
is what his political enemies,
hoping to replace him with a
Democrat, are afraid of.
Rauschenberger has some
tough questions to answer,
but if he answers them well
and can demonstrate that
hes put these problems be-
hind him, he shouldnt be
disqualifed as a candidate.

DEATH OF JOHN W. BUTTZ
------------
An Old Ransom County Resident
Dies in Fargo Funeral at Lisbon.
-------------
John W. Buttz, son of D. H. Buttz
of Buttzville, died at his home in
Fargo at 11 oclock on Sunday morn-
ing. He had been ill for three weeks
with blood poison-
ing and erysipelas.
Te funeral was
held at Lisbon on
Tuesday morning,
the remains being
taken down on the
Southwestern train.
Requiem mass was
said in St. Aloysius
church by the Rev. J. B. McDonald
and interment was made in the lo-
cal cemetery.
Mr. Buttz was 41 years of age, son
of D. H. Buttz by his frst wife, who
died shortly afer his birth. He was
raised by his grandparents in New
Jersey and came to North Dakota
with his uncle John R. Buttz, who
died about eight years ago on his
farm near Plymouth. He married
Miss Roach of Plymouth and is sur-
vived by her and four children. For
the past two years he had lived in
Fargo, having been frst connected
with the N. P. freight department,
but more recently he had been in
the wood and coal business.
His father and uncle, Maj. C. W.
Buttz, were with him at the last.
nnn
Sues Comments: I found many
interesting pieces of information
in this article. Te sub-heading
states that he was an old Ransom
County Resident, however the
article states he was only 41 years
old, an age which would certainly
not be considered old by todays
standards!
I had to research erysipelas
and found it is an acute bacte-
rial skin infection which usually
begins with a minor trauma or
wound, probably the same way in
which he acquired the blood poi-
soning.
Next, we learned that his uncle
had a farm near Plymouth and the
deceaseds wife was from Plym-
outh. I found that Plymouth was a
community in Springer Township
in Ransom County, about seven or
eight miles west of Buttzville. But-
tzville was founded in 1882 and
named afer the uncle, Major C.
W. Buttz, who is also mentioned in
the article.
n We hope you will make plans
to visit the Museum during SunFest
to view several new displays and
recent acquisitions, some of which
will be available to the public for the
frst time. Many changes have been
made since SunFest last year! Te
Museum will hold extended hours
on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
in addition to the regular hours on
Tursday and Friday from 1 to 4
p.m.

vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that
protect against infuenza virus infection, it is best that
people get vaccinated so they are protected before in-
fuenza begins spreading in their community.
It is important to note that the fu vaccine cannot
cause the fu. Te nasal spray does contain live viruses,
however the viruses are weakened (attenuated) and
cannot cause the fu. Te fu shot contains killed (in-
activated) viruses.
For more information contact your healthcare pro-
vider or City County Health District at 845-8518. Vac-
cines are available at CCHD in the Barnes County
Courthouse on a walk-in basis Monday-Friday.
YOUR HEALTH is coordinated by Mercy Hospital. Lori Thompson is a regis-
tered nurse at City County Health District.

how to escape from every room, and agree on a place to
meet.
Tornado warning If you dont have a basement or safe
room, prepare a space without windows in the lowest level of
your home.
Meeting places If your family members are scattered
when disaster strikes, agree on a place to meet because you
may not be able to contact each other.
Out-of-state contact Because calling or texting far away
ofen is easier than locally afer a disaster, agree on an out-of-
state contact everyone should check in with.
Important documents Gather insurance documents,
birth certifcates, passports, a recent bank statement, wills,
recent tax returns and other important documents, and store
them in a waterproof and freproof container.
Pets Know where to take your pets if you must evacu-
ate. Disaster shelters will not allow pets because of health and
safety regulations. Do not leave them at home alone.
Being prepared for disasters that may afect your commu-
nity or home will give you peace of mind and help you cope
if a disaster does occur.
