ll migratory game bird hunters, regardless of age, are reminded that Harvest Information Program registration is required Sept. 1. However, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department recommends early Canada goose season hunters get HIP certified before the Aug. 15 opener. HIP certification is required for hunting ducks, geese, swans, mergansers, coots, cranes, snipe, doves or woodcock. HIP registration provides the department with a database of migratory bird hunters, and a sample of these hunters will receive a questionnaire regarding activity and birds harvested. Hunters who purchase a license through the departments electronic licensing system (gf.nd.gov) or instant licensing telephone number at (800) 406-6409 can easily get HIP certified. Otherwise, hunters can access the Game and Fish website, or call (888) 634-4798 and record the HIP number on their fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate. HIP is required only once per year. However, hunters must HIP register in each state for which they are licensed before hunting migratory game birds.

Tragedy strikes Enderlin man

A look back at early area history as found in the archives of the Enderlin Historical Society and Museum. Museum website: enderlinmuseum.org This weeks article was found in the November 27, 1903 issue of The Sheldon Progress but gives us this news from their neighboring community, Enderlin! ************ THE ENDERLIN TRAGEDY -----------A. G. Crockett Instantly Killed by the Accidental Discharge of a Shotgun. -----------The Funeral Held on Sunday Was the Largest in the History of the Town. -----------------------Enderlin, N.D., Nov. 27 This community was sadly shocked last Friday afternoon to hear that our fellow townsman, A. G. Crockett, had been killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun. Mr. Crockett was in the act of pulling the gun out over the rear end of a light wagon when the trigger, in some manner, got caught and the gun went off, the charge striking the victim in the region of the heart, causing instantaneous death. A coroners jury was empaneled and their decision was that deceased came to his death through the accidental discharge of his shotgun. Mr. Crocket had been troubled by rats about his premises and kept a loaded gun near at hand for the purpose of shooting them when opportunity offered. He was about to hitch onto the wagon to get a load of sawdust when the accident occurred. Alvin G. Crockett was born in Winterport, Maine, on April 27, 1847, being a little over 56 years old at the time of his death. He was married in 1876 and came to North Dakota in 1881 where he has resided ever since, having lived on a farm eight miles north of Enderlin until 1893, and since that time has lived in town. Funeral services were held at the family residence on Sunday afternoon, the Rev. E. S. Brearley of the Presbyterian church officiating. The spacious house was completely filled by sorrowing friends, many of whom had driven long distances to be present, and the attendance was the largest at any funeral ever held here. The remains were interred in the local cemBy Susan etery. Schlecht Mr. Crockett had done much to build up our city and was universally esteemed. As Pastor Brearley so fittingly said, he was the childrens friend and his cheery voice will be greatly missed by all. He is survived by his wife, a son, Irving Crockett, and a daughter, Mrs. Wellington Ginther, who have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of sorrowing friends in their sad hour of bereavement. Mr. Crockett carried a large amount of life insurance, having $12,000 in old line companies and fraternal orders. ****************** Sues Comments: There was more information printed on Mr. Crockett in the 1941 Enderlin History booklet. Some of it varies slightly from this obituary, which is not unusual considering that the man had been deceased for 38 years by the time that book was printed! The book states that the family was of Scottish descent. He was a carpenter and built many homes in the Buttzville, Lisbon and particularly Enderlin area. He left his family on the homestead north of Enderlin to hold its rights while he pursued his trade. He constructed his home so that a portion of it might be removed, placed on a flat car, and shipped from village to village, thus supplying his own hotel, rooming house and quarters for his workers.

Heitkamp seeks Angels in Adoption nominees

Special to the Progress:

Deadline for submissions is August 23

.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp is seeking nominations of North Dakotans who are improving the lives of foster and adopted children. Heitkamp will select one individual, couple or organization to be named this years Angel in Adoption. Nominations will be accepted until August 23, 2013 atwww.Heitkamp.Senate.Govand the Angel will be honored in Washington, DC on October 9, 2013. If you need assistance in the nominating process, call Heitkamps office at 1-800-223-4457. Adoption is a blessing that enriches the lives of children and the families who welcome them into their homes, said Heitkamp. In North Dakota, we understand the importance of giving back, and there are so many families who have welcomed adopted and foster children into their homes. Too often, such selfless acts go unrecognized, but the Angels in Adoption program aims to change that. I

quiet again . . . This speech has become known in North Dakota as Links Gettysburg Address. Produced from the perspective of Link, who served as Governor of North Dakota from 1973-1981, including the era of our first great international energy crisis, the film features the beauty of the North Dakota Prairie as a cinematic backdrop, while exploring the important balance between political leadership, economic need, and the integrity of rural North Dakotan communities. With stewardship as his theme, Links film will open the next event for What in the World is Going On?: Clay Jenkinson as Thomas Jefferson, an

early advocate for stewardship, on Oct. 15. When the Landscape is Quiet Again: The Legacy of Art Link is being presented at no charge in the upper level of the BCHS Museum at 315 Central Avenue N in Valley City. Wes Anderson, Director of the museum, welcomes evening events to the museum because as he says This is a museum, not a mausoleum were alive. We bring in new things to bring in people.

YOUR HEALTH

THIS IS VALLEY CITY

Eat, drink and be merry

veryone in Valley City, and in fact all of Barnes County, is invited to get to know your neighbors better and have a block party any time now until October. Find a neighbor or two, pick up some invitations from city hall (they have them ready, all you have to do is stop in and pick them up) and have the party in your backyard. You can also fill out the form at city hall to have your street blocked off for a street block party. Block parties are happening all across the USA. It all started in 1984 to increase safety in our neighborhoods and become aware of community programs such as drug prevention. By knowing our neighbors we can get along better and we will be safer. And you never know when youll need to borrow a cup of sugar. Last year 15,704 communities from

Have a block party

all 50 states participated in block parties; this involved 37.5 million people! HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO IN VALLEY CITY: If you would like to have the city block off your street it is essential you fill out a request (no cost) at City Hall. The city would bring a Police Car and/or a Fire Engine to your neighborhood if you would like (if available). Merely write that on the request form. If you would like the mayor and city commissioners to drop by for a brief chat (a time for informal questions), also write that on the request form. The city has a copy of a block party invitation on their website for neighborhoods to use, or pick up however many invitations you need down at city hall. Whether you choose to have your block party in your own backyard, or have your street blocked off, give a call to city hall at 845-1700 and press 0 to register. It will be fun to learn how many block parties we will have in Valley City! The city of Valley City, ON THE MOVE, and What in the World Is Going On? encourages all the neighborhoods in Valley City to have some fun and have a Block Party! Should you have any questions call Commissioner Nielson at 840-1580, City Hall at 845-1700 and press 0, ON THE MOVE chair Sharon Buhr at 845-5197, or What in the World Is Going On?at 845-7310.

alley City State University has promoted from within to fill its head softball coach vacancy. Athletic director Jack Denholm announced Wednesday that assistant coach Elle Fracker has been promoted to VCSUs head softball coach for the 201314 season. She replaces Chad Slyter, who resigned earlier this month. Fracker has been the assistant at VCSU for two seasons, starting in February of 2012.

Who are your heroes?

This is what the Lords says: Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the LORD.

Sixth game added

he Valley City State University football team has added a sixth home game for the 2013 season. Due to a scheduling conflict, the planned Sept. 28 road game at South Dakota School of Mines has been canceled. VCSU has replaced the game with a home contest against Trinity Bible College of Ellendale, N.D., on Sept. 21. Valley City States 2013 schedule now includes four road games and six home games. The Vikings open the season Aug. 31 at Jamestown College. They travel to Morningside College the following week before playing six of their next seven games at home. VCSUs home opener is Sept. 14 against Dakota State. The Vikings wrap up the regular season with a road trip to Menlo College in Redwood City, Calif. on Nov. 16.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

hat things are we proud of in this life? Are we proud By The Rev. of our grades in school (or Dennis Norby what school we went to), the size of our paycheck or our house? Are we proud of the power we yield in our community or job or family or church? We grasp at every little thing trying to take credit for the things we have or the things we have done. The prophet Jeremiah saw the pride of the people of Jerusalem and told them about where to place their pride. When we look at this passage in Jeremiah, it is important that we be reminded that it is sin to disobey God. It is entirely too easy to neglect talking about sin. We become caught up in talking about how people are basically good; we talk about people having good intentions. The problem is those things are not true. We are corrupt and sinful by nature. Later in Jeremiah 17:9 it says, The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? So because of our corruption and tendency to neglect the Word of God we are warned to reject pride, which leads to boasting. In this passage, the word that

is translated boast or boasting could also be translated praise. Jeremiah says, do not praise yourself . The areas he mentions summarize nearly every area of life; wisdom, riches, and strength. We may say at this point, I am not wise or rich or strong I dont need to worry about boasting. The problem is that we then begin to boast in comparative terms. I am not wise, but I am smarter than him. I am not rich, but I have more than her. Again, we find every chance we can to boast in our selves. I have heard how much someone paid for their house and how little they paid for their car. I have heard how much someone works and how little someone else works. All these are foolish attempt to make us look good. And in the end, they all fall short. We are still in need of wisdom, strength, and provision (riches) because we have none of our own. So where does all this leave us? It leaves us with only one option. If we are going to boast, boast about the LORD. What a privilege to know and understand God who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth. God does not only exercise these things but delights in doing them. The Cross of Jesus Christ is that great testimony of Gods love for us. Rejoice in all His mighty works; His kindness, justice, and righteousness. Rejoice that we can know Him who provided all we need in Christ. If your pastor is interested in writing a column for Faithfully, please email to submissions@indybc.com.

s a child, I often wondered what sort of monstrous creature would lay a huge, purple-black egg, for surely the eggplant was named after such an egg laid by such a creature. Imagine my relief, tinged with disappointment, when I eventually learned that the first eggplants, grown in China, were small, ivory, and egg-shaped, with a delicate pearly skin just like an ordinary egg.

The incredible edible eggplant

Eggplant Far and Wide

From China, the eggplant spread all over the world, gradually acquiring the deep, lustrous colors we are most familiar with today. Today, the eggplant has come full circle, with local farmers growing many of the long, narrow Asian varieties, which range in color from solid purple, lavender, or green to striated shades of purple and white. These eggplants have tender skins and slightly sweet flesh, and cook up quickly and easily on the grill or in a pan. Eggplant does have a sponge-like capacity to soak up oil, but that shouldnt keep you away from a vegetable that has only 25 calories per half cup serving, and is extremely mineral rich with healthy doses of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. Eggplant is the main ingredient in many popular dishes around the world: caponata and eggplant parmigiana in Italy; ratatouille in France; baba ghanoush

OUR OUTDOORS

Make your own luck

evolutionary baseball businessman W. Branch Rickey once stated that luck is the residue of opportunity and design. Considering his resume, the adage must be true. By looking beyond the status quo, Rickey capitalized on opportunities that others missed due to narrow-mindedness; most notably, signing Jackie Robinson and later drafting Roberto Clemente in a time when segregation was the norm, even in baseball. Rickey also pioneered the minor league system for modern baseball, developing and tapping talent which would eventually help his St. Louis Cardinals capture World Series titles in 1931, 34 and 42. Through the new system Rickey designed, the players he recruited honed their

skills to play at a level that was unseen in the Major Leagues. The process at the time was so revolutionary, many, including the Commissioner of Baseball himself, thought it was unfair. By seizing opportunities and employing innovative design as a baseball executive, Rickey, despite a lackluster playing career, was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1967. What Rickeys example sets for those of us who, when not tuned into the game are tuned into the outdoors, is a simple plan by which we can live. By observing and recognizing opportunities and being prepared to seize them with the best of our ability when they come along, the approaching fall seasons

are sure to be spectacular. This year continues the trend of increasing wild game By Nick populaSimonson tions across the region. Whether it is Canada geese, whitetail deer, pheasants or grouse, the opportunities to pursue a variety of game are coming on full-flush. The chances to chase whatever moves you through the fields and forests of the region are there for the taking, but not without some effort. At this point in time, finding specific opportunities that will relate to your success in the field might take little more than a drive down a section line road or a walk in the woods;

but tagging a deer or bagging a limit of ringnecks will require planning and practice. It almost seems like late summer is made for just that preparation. Wood ticks have died off, the weather is dry, and fishing generally slows down with the onset of the dog days. As a result, now is the time to get into the field and make arrangements for the coming months. Head into the trees, look for trails and sign, then hang your bow stand, drive around one evening and Putting in some time scouting, preparing and look for pheasants. Visit the rifle range and sight in gearing up for the coming seasons can help hunters find success for game both big and your gun a few months OUR OUTDOORS: 18 small as opening days approach.

future historians of Barnes County should take note of Judge Barnes correct name. Perhaps the name given in the Centennial records was a nickname or something made up at the time due to the correct first name not being available? This may be a minor detail to the readers, but important to the family of Judge Alanson Barnes. Most people do not take kindly to having their name given incorrectly in newspapers. I know it bothers me when the c in my last name is left out in documents, which happens all the time. The name of Burbank County was given on Jan. 4, 1873, according to the documents at the museum and was changed to Barnes County by Territorial Government on July 14, 1874. Additional information given at the Museum was that in 1878 there were only six houses in Valley City. By the next year, town lots went for $5after there had been a standstill from 1872-78 in development due to funding problems for the railroads. Lot acres out of town also went for $5. Today $5 will not even buy you a hamburger at most restaurants. Like the old

tion, is a good idea generally then perhaps we should be chagrined that the process gets so little use in North Dakota. According to the Pew Research study, the state is way behind the rest of the nation in using this sort of analysis. The study, which you can read below, found that North Dakota was one of just four states to use a costbenefit analysis between 2008 and 2011. Why is this important? Because these sort of studies can give legislators powerful information to implement positive reforms. As an example, during the session two resolutions were passed calling for studies into the statutory and regulatory requirements placed on North Dakota state government agencies by United States government agencies as a condition of the receipt of federal funding (HCR3038) and state alternatives to the statutory and regulatory requirements placed on North Dakota schools and school districts by the United States Department of Education (SCR4012). These studies would have weighed the benefits of accepting federal money, both in general and for education specifically, against the cost to the state of the mandates and other federal regulations attached to those dollars. This is important, because federal dollars are such a large part of the states budget that its worrisome, especially given the financial turmoil in Washington DC. In the 2003-2005 biennium, the state budget contained $2.039 billion in funds from the federal government. In the last biennium, which just ended on June 30th of this year, that figure more than doubled to $4.242 billion, which represents a whopping 33.2 percent of the states budget according to the Office of Management and Budget. The state is projecting a reduction in federal funds for the next two years - down to $3.31 billion and 24 percent of the budget - no doubt due to the hotly debated federal sequester, but a quarter of the states budget originating from the tumultuous politics of Washington DC is still troubling.

become entangled Oil patch cities Never in foreign governments need 2015 census

OPINION: OMDAHL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

uring the last legislative session, the governor and the legislature made great strides in responding to the multi-facetted crises engulfing the township, city, school and county governments in the booming Bakken oil field. The dimensions of the boom were outlined in the recent study by North Dakota State University researchers Dean Bangsund and Nancy Hodur as they projected county populations well into the future for the oil impacted regions. It appears from their estimates that McKenzie, Williams, Divide and Mountrail counties will double in population by 2020. Much of this growth will take place in key cities in each county. Informal estimates indicate an increase in permanent residents since the 2010 U. S. Census of 65 per cent in Tioga; 125 per cent in Watford City, and 180 per cent in Killdeer and Williston. These figures do not include the thousands of temporary workers flooding the area. When we see this much growth in three short years since the official census, we can expect unbelievable growth by 2020 when the next U. S. Census is due. That is the problem. With these dramatic changes occurring in the small as well as the large cities throughout oil country, the 2010 U. S. Census figures become more and more useless for allocating resources. The burgeoning cities in western North Dakota will by losing more and more money as the decade passes because distributions of certain state revenues are made on the basis of formulas that dictate the use of the decennial census. Three major distributions go to cities across the state. First, the state aid distribution program, representing a combination of personal property tax replacement and general revenue sharing, is distributed on the basis of census data. Second, a share of the state cigarette tax is passed on to cities on the basis of population. Third, the highway distribution fund, fed

by motor vehicle registration fees and gas taxes, is allocated to counties on the basis of vehicle registrations. At the county level, cities receive shares on the basis of population. By Lloyd Since millions of dollars Omdahl are involved in these distributions, cities with mushrooming populations will lose more and more with each passing year until the next census takes place. The stakes are high. Rather than wait for the federal census to arrive in 2020, it seems that the state ought to consider doing a mid-census count in the oil patch in 2015 to readjust the disbursements to a current population count. In their population prognosis, Bangsund and Hodur anticipate that as time passes that the temporary residents will become permanent and, thereby, qualify to be counted as permanent residents that could count toward reformulation of the state funding. By 2015, a fair number of temporaries will have become permanent. However, we will still see a large number of commuting

nternationalists in both parties want the U.S. to join a Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Partnership implies contractual agreements, not free trade. Decisions will be by an international body of bureaucratsas with present trade agreements. With (among others) the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), our economy has gone from booming industrial to lost factories, unemployment, low-wage jobsand even problems for local farmers. Many factories have disappeared or moved away, victims of the great sucking sound predicted by Ross Perot in 1992 when NAFTA was proposed. Yes, OMDAHL: 18 we have product move-

mentmostly imports and always fewer exports. The European Union (EU), began as a steel and coal agreement among a few countries. It became the Common Market (free-trade), followed by the European Economic Council, European Commission, and the European Union. (It did what Caesar, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Hitler, and Stalin all failed to do.) Germany has helped bail out EU members like Greece, and our Federal Reserve has played a part by sending money to Europe. By signing the TTIP, we can help save Europes socialist governments, too. How did we do so well for 200 years and become the worlds superpower without such agreements? Would China have become such a big economic power without relying on American businesses and consumers?

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc., admonished never becoming entangled with foreign governments. They knew human nature would not changenor the nature of governments. Tell your Senators and Representative to oppose these partnerships because trade will be much freer without them.

Unfortunately, we wont get to know the outcome of these cost-benefit studies into federal funds in the state budget. The head of Legislative Management for the 20132015 biennium is Senator Ray Holmberg of Grand Forks who enjoyed support from the left side of the Republican caucus and the minority Democrat caucus to obtain this leadership position. And one of his first decisions in that position was to nix those two studies, with neither one making a list of studies prioritized by Legislative Management for the 20132014 interim. The cost of accepting federal funding should be weighed against the benefits, especially when North Dakota is enjoying a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to use windfall revenues to make itself more independent. Our politicians brag about the federal funds they win for North Dakota, and many political commentators seem to agree with the politicians that the funds are an unquestionably good thing. But those funds have a cost measured in uncertainty, mandates and an exploding national debt.

workers who will not regard North Dakota as their permanent residences. This means that criterion would have to be developed to distinguish between permanent and temporary residents in order to arrive at a fair count. The governor and the legislature demonstrated some boldness in responding to pressing problems in the oil patch. An interim census in 2015 would be another bold move to guarantee fairness in sharing in the ongoing state aid programs.

It takes two sisters, Ruth Peterson and Mary Knudson, to carry the fish that was pulled in from Lake Ashtabula.

wo ladies loved to go fishing. One was named Ruth Peterson and the other Mary Knudson, both sisters. One day, Ruth decided she would pick up Mary and head out to Lake Ashtabula and spend the day fishing. Armed with two Zebco rod and reels, and meat for bait, they fished from shore and then waited for some action. Then one of the lines got some action and the old Zebco reel could not properly bring in the fish. So, the two ladies did the next best thing and started to pull the fish in by hand until they finally got it to shore. That was the end of the fishing day. They loaded the fish in Ruth's trunk and headed back to Valley City. Their first stop was at Darlene Boumont's to show off the whopper northern that they had caught. Most people would then fillet the fish, but not Ruth and Mary; they cut it up into chunks, which made it easier to bake in the oven. Just another day at the lake for two fisherwomen.

While theres still plenty of time left this summer to give one of these waters a try, the website information will be a great resource to keep in mind when icefishing comes around again as well. Also available is a link to onscreen instruction or a printable publication that describes the cleaning method to remove the legendary Y-bones from pike. As an old-timer pike angler once told me, It takes all those bones to make those pike so big. As far as techniques and methods to catching pike, the good news is Im here to tell you the same red-andwhite daredevil you used years ago is still catching pike today. Just in a lot more spots.
