STILLINGS: From 7
History
North Valley City began with the
building of the Soo Line in North Da-
kota, which reached NorthValley in
1891-92. Presumably, the depot and
grain elevators were added at that
time. In 1906, the Valley City Street &
Interurban Railway went into service,
connecting the Northern Pacifc depot
in downtown Valley City with the Soo
depot in North Valley.
Prior to construction of the Interur-
ban line, passengers were transported
between the Northern Pacifc Depot
and the Soo Depot by stagecoach.
On Nov. 13, 1901, six masked men
held up this stagecoach at the north
edge of Valley City. Te loot amounted
to $150 and a gold watchwhich was
not a bad take in those days. An ac-
count of the robbery, taken from a lo-
cal newspaper, is given in the Barnes
County History:
Attorney Lee Combs, riding with the
driver, was ordered to the ground, and
as soon as he did so he began running
toward town. Te robbers fred on him
but as it was dark he was not hit. He
alerted the law by telephoning from the
home of Seymour Granger. Afer rob-
bing the passengers, the bandits took a
hostage and went into Valley City. Tere
they freed their hostage and split up. Te
stage continued on to North Valley.
Te Sherif and the Chief of Police
arrived at the scene of the hold-up and,
afer interviewing the victims, returned
to Valley City where they concluded
that the bandits likely would try to leave
town by boarding the next train, due
shortly.
Tree suspects were arrested as they
attempted to board the train and were
later tried in District Court. Tey were
cleared when they made a good case
that they were in the depot at the time
the robbery occurred, waiting for the
train.
Te case remains unsolved.
Later, in 1920, Valley City law en-
forcement met with more success
when Sherif Larson, his deputies, and
Chief of Police Swanson raided three
stills operating in North Valley City.
On Feb. 28, 1941, Company G of
the 164th Infantry Division marched
from downtown Valley City to board
the train at the Soo Line depot on their
way to training at Camp Claiborne.

FAITHFULLY: From 8
have not kept the statutes, but their lies have led them astray, those afer
which their fathers walked. Ten Amos turns to the people of Israel
to whom he directs most of book. He points out their sins in verses
5-8. Tey have mistreated the poor, acted in adulterous ways, and also
in idolatrous ways. Tis has lead to the name of God being profaned
(Amos 2:7).
So, before the sins were listed against Judah and Israel they were
likely happy to hear that God would punish those pagan nations. How-
ever, now the punishment was spoken
in their direction and it must have
maddened some, shocked others, and
led others to sorrow. What Amos has
done in the frst chapters of his book is
similar to what the Apostle Paul does
in Romans. He points out sin and then
in Romans 3:23 says, all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God.
Now, sin in the people of Amos day,
and in our day, might be very discour-
aging if we did not also know the char-
acter of God. Te Lords character is
made clear in places like Ezekiel 18 where in verses 23 and 32 it is made
clear that the Lord has no pleasure in the death of anyone and that He
desires that we repent. Sin is sin and wickedness cannot be overlooked,
but God has made a way that we can be reconciled. Jesus Christ. We
have all sinned, but He did not and He came to die for us.
So now again the fnger is pointed at you. Christ did this for you.
How could He do such a thing? we might ask. Completely out of His
Fatherly goodness and divine mercy.

FAITHFULLY
Sin is sin, wickedness cannot be overlooked

and well add it to our listings.
T
he Prophet Amos
introduced himself in
the frst verse that we
looked at last week. He was
from the nation of Judah and
a place called Tekoa. Amos
book begins with him point-
ing out the sins of the nations
all around Israel and Judah.
Tis is what most of us like.
We like to see other people get called out
for their sins. As children we go to our
parents and point out when siblings steal
from the cookie jar and tell our teachers
who cheated on the test at school. As adults
we tell our boss when our coworker arrives
late, and when our neighbor has that late
night party making too much noise, we call
the police. Now these things are all wrong;
no doubt about it. What I want to point out
is that we fnd some enjoyment in pointing
out the sins of others. As a culture, we can
look at all the media attention celebrities
get when they commit some sin. It is in the
news for days and people ask themselves,
How could they do such a thing?
I think that Amos was setting up the
people of Judah and especially Israel as his
book begins. He has pointed his fnger at all
the nations around and the people of Israel
and Judah were likely nodding their heads.
Yes, that is a horrible sin and so is that and
so is that. But then when we turn to the
second chapter we fnd that Amos turns the
barrage of Gods law a lot closer to home.
Amos 2:4 says, Tus says the LORD: For
three transgressions of Judah, and for four,
I will not revoke the punishment, because
they have rejected the law of the LORD, and

MARCIE HANNIG
Ma r c i e
H a n n i g ,
age 88, of
Valley City,
ND, died
S a t ur da y,
Sept. 20, at
Evergreens o f
F a r g o ,
Fargo, N.D.
A funeral
service was
held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 27,
at Grace Free Lutheran Church in Val-
ley City, with interment at St. Bernards
Cemetery, Oriska, N.D.
Marcie Ertelt was born on March
11, 1926, to Joseph G. and Gertrude
(Kohler) Ertelt in Cuba Township, ru-
ral Barnes County. She attended grade
school at the Cuba Town-
ship School and high
school in Valley City. She
graduated in 1944. Dur-
ing her high school years,
she worked for room and
board in Valley City and
did waitress work.
She married Paul J.
(Bob) Hannig on Oct. 25,
1944, and they moved to
the Hannig farm which
was homesteaded by
Bobs grandfather, Joseph
Hannig. Bob and Marcie
raised nine children and,
with much hard work,
they created a comfort-
able life for their fam-
ily. Te biggest heartache
of their married life was
when their son, Paul III,
was injured in a car/train
accident and died afer
being comatose for two
years. Marcie had no time
for hobbies or personal
entertainment during these years. Her
only break was the monthly meeting of
her homemakers club or birthday club.
Bob passed away 6 months shy of their
50th wedding anniversary.
Marcie moved to Te Legacy Place
soon afer it opened and the Legacy res-
idents and staf became part of her fam-
ily. She lived there for fve years and was
a regular pinochle player in Valley City,
Oriska, and Tower City until Alzheim-
ers disease robbed her of that pleasure.
Alzheimers took her away from us little
by little. In July of this year, she moved
to Evergreens Memory Care in Fargo
where she again received wonderful
care and compassion. Marcie loved and
trusted the Lord, Jesus Christ, as her
Savior and Lord. She especially prayed
for Jesus help the last days of her life.
Marcie is survived by her children:
Karen (Dave) Olstad, Valley City; Dave
(Andrea Hasse) of Kerkhoven, Minn.;
Dan (Marlys Jensen) of Oriska; Kathy
(Dennis) Laumb, Valley City; Sue
(Kent) Baumgartner, Valley City; Cindy
(Brad) Beyer, Grand Forks, Minn.; Kris
(Doyle) Tomas, Louisville, Colo; and
Jodie of Brooklyn Center, Minn; 26
grandchildren; 39 great-grandchildren;
2 (almost 3) great-great -grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her hus-
band, Paul (Bob); her son Paul; grand-
daughter, Amber Beyer; and grandson
Scott Baumgartner; brothers: Donald,
Norbert, Lester, and Gary; and sister
Helen Bertsch; her parents and many
dear relatives and friends.

T
he stretch of the
Sheyenne from the
Ingstad property
(to the right, out of view)
to North Valley is the last
part of the river I plan
to travel this year. Te
Ingstad Bridge, damaged
by recent foods, was built
at the spot where the old
Ermatinger timber bridge once spanned
the river. Te old bridge was a very popu-
lar local fshing
bridge, and I am
still looking for
a photograph of
the site, prefer-
ably with people
using it for that
purpose.
As we continue
up the river, the
impressive ruins
of the Ingstad
house, destroyed
by controlled
burning, might be
seen on the right;
and on the lef we
pass a grass island
(which actu-
ally has a name;
unfortunately, I
dont remember
it).
North Valley, Gateway to Baldhill Dam and
Lake Ashtabula
My early memories of North Valley are
scant. For me, it was no more than the
junction of county roads about two miles
north of Valley City where we either went
straight ahead to fsh at the resorts along
the east shore of Ashtabula or turned west-
ward to fsh the spillways of Bald Hill Dam.
(In those days there was public road access
to below the dam and you could fsh there.)
When we came back here from Hawaii
in 2006, there was a game bird hatchery in
North Valley, and an indoor fea market
which we shopped at a number of times.
Both businesses soon closed. Te Trader
Brothers has a shop in the same area. I
remember talking to one of the brothers at
the shop, where he was making metal lawn
ornaments. Tere were also a few pieces of
missile silo salvage lying around. Sprinkled
into his conversation were remarks about
his brother abandoning him and taking
of unexpectedly. It took me a while to un-
derstand that his brother had died. It was a
touching moment.
Chuck Bowen now owns the Trader
place and, among other things, has de-
veloped an interesting private park there.
Chuck has also partnered with Jodie
Ingstad in organizing a highly successful
fea market. From July to September of
this year, the number of participating fea
market vendors grew from 20, to 40, and
then to 70. We anticipate its return in 2015,
and will be spending some time this winter
preparing for the event.

nternational Walk to
School Day is Wednes-
day, Oct. 8. Valley City
Public Schools and St. Cath-
erines School in Valley City
will be participating in this
annual event.
All Valley City students are
encouraged to walk to school
and parents/guardians are
invited to walk with their child.
Walk to School Day raises the awareness
of the need for safer routes for walking
and biking to school, the importance of
increasing physical activity among chil-
dren, and the value of reducing traf c and
concern for the environment.
Fewer students walk or bike to school
than did a generation ago. In 1969, 48
percent of U.S. students in grades K-8
(ages 5-14) walked or biked to school vs.
13 percent of students walking or biking
to school today.
A survey of parents in Valley City was
completed in November 2011 and showed
that 21 percent of K-6 students walked or
biked to school. Of the parents surveyed,
70 percent identifed that they would
like to see a policy developed that would
require sidewalks in all new developments
in Valley City.
Walking to school gives children time
for physical activity as well as a sense of
responsibility and independence. It also
provides time to connect with parents,
friends and neighbors. Children need 60
minutes of physical activity every day and
walking can be an important source of
physical activity.
Benefts of physical activity for youth
as well as adults include weight control,
reducing blood pressure, raising HDL
(good) cholesterol, reduction in the
risk of diabetes and some kinds of can-
cer, and improved muscular ftness and
bone health.
Physical activity is also associated
with improved academic performance
in children and adolescents.
One mile has been identifed as a
sensible distance that elementary school
students can walk to school. For the Valley
City Walk to School event, students will
walk about one-third to two-thirds of a
mile.
Students will meet at the following stag-
ing areas to walk to school:
Junior-Senior High: North tennis
courts
Washington: Taraldson Sofball
Complex
Jeerson & St. Catherines: North Sof-
ball Fields by Charlie Brown Field
Te walk begins at all staging areas at
8:30 a.m. We want to make it easy and fun
for kids to walk to school. Were hoping
that events like this will encourage parents
to have their children walk to school more
ofen.
Many communities across the U.S.
have started a walking school bus in
their neighborhood as a result of Walk
to School Day. Te walking school bus
is a group of children in a neighborhood
walking to school with one or more

Here is the latest news and information
from the Historic 1916 Bualo High School in
Bualo, N.D.
Do what you can, with
what you have, where you
are is a famous quote from
Teodore Roosevelt.
We were reminded of that
message last week when we
had a surprise visit from Joe
Wiegand, who brings Teddy
to life through the Teodore
Roosevelt Medora Founda-
tion.
We were excited to see
Teddy at our historic school
and listened as he reminisced
about his life in Bualo, N.Y.,
and his connection to our
town of Bualo. He has gra-
ciously agreed to come back
for a special visit next spring
to tell more stories of his life
in North Dakota and will
invite everyone in our area to
meet him.
Te ABC Book Club met
at the school on Tuesday and
wants to encourage you to
read about Teodore Roos-
evelt, the man, who said: I
would not have been Presi-
dent had it not been for my
experience in North Dako-
ta.
Book Club members rec-
ommend reading Roosevelt
in the Badlands by Hermann
Hagedorn.
Tis fall the Book Club will
be reading Te Checkered
Years by Mary Boynton Cow-
drey, which contains excerpts
from the diary of Mary Dodge
Woodward written during
the years 1884 to 1889 while
living on a North Dakota
Bonanza farm.
Every Tursday afernoon
in October, from 3 to 6 pm
we will host our October
Fest, featuring delicious treats
such as apple cake, black cat
cookies, molasses cookies, and
pumpkin bars. You can enjoy
the Gif Shoppe, which has
been updated with beauti-
ful fall decorations, jars of
homemade wild plum jelly
and many unique items.
As always, we invite you to
come for a visit and stay for
a story. Please check out the
webpage at www.bualond.
com or call me at 701-412-
4485 to learn more about the
Historic 1916 Bualo High School.
