Getting a glimpse of Heartland Flax

Flax, the tall vase in its natural state, along with seeds, milled and oil prodcued from flax is displayed at Hearland Flaxl. (Roger Bluhm/photo)

Heartland Flax in Valley City is under the radar in

the area.The company takes flax

and transforms it into flax oil, flour and meal, which is then used in many food products.

“Flax is the plant ver-sion of fish oil,” said Tara Anderson, export man-ager. “It’s a component of Omega 3, 6 and 9.

“Any product that says on the wrapper it is a good source of Omega 3 has flax in it.”

The company has more than 70 employees and believes its location is perfect.

“We’re in the heart of flax country,” said Bob Larson, who is in charge of sales. “Flax is all over the world and we’re in the perfect spot for shipping both to the east and west coasts.”

Flax products are used in baked goods, beverages, bread, cereals, granola, cookies, chips, crackers, pasta, pizza crust, waffles, wraps, supplements, even chocolate.

“One of our growing uses is in natural pet foods and animal feed,” Larson said. “Many people want their pets to be fed healthy and flax is used there.”

Heartland Flax processes

flax into many products and ships it to other locations for use.

“Name a food company and we probably have flax in some product,” Larson said. “Flax is a great source of fiber and nutrients and we are growing and grow-ing.”

Alyssa Miller, human re-sources manager, said the company, which recently held a job fair in Valley City, is always hiring and growing.

“We always need help and we are looking for good people,” Miller said.

Today is the day Americans take to lighting fi reworks and having a grand time.

Oft en, however, people don’t realize why they are doing these things.

In plain English, it’s because our forefathers stood up against oppres-sion, against high taxes and against a king.

Why we oft en take for granted the freedoms we have, it wasn’t always the case. Th e original 13 colonies fought for our freedom and won.

July 4 is Inde-pendence Day in the United States of America. It’s our birthday as a nation, circa 1776, and befi tting a nation as great as ours, we celebrate with fi reworks.

Th ose fi reworks have meaning for us. If you remember the words of the Star Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key

mentioned “bombs bursting in air,” while saying our fl ag still fl ew strong.

Th at’s strong symbolism and we cel-ebrate each year befi tting his song.

Take a moment between watermelon bites and remem-ber ben Franklin, George Washing-ton and the others who fought against England’s king to make us free.

Th ink of the Declaration of In-dependence and of the Constitution.

Sing heartily to our patriotic songs and salute the fl ag proudly.

Th ank a veteran. Th ank a soldier. Th ank God.

Be safe this holiday. Don’t drink and drive. Take precautions when lighting fi reworks.

But stand proud. For on this day, Americans stand together.

“THE CEMENT OF THIS UNION IS THE HEART-BLOOD OF EVERY AMERICAN.” — THOMAS JEFFERSON

One of the things I enjoy about being a musician are the

different types of gigs I have gotten to play. I started out playing in folk clubs, put a very successful wedding band together playing par-ties and dance music.

I played as a one man band in many a bar, strolled in restaurants and of course have been on the road play-ing concerts all across Amer-ica and the world the last 20 years with my trio Chris Burke with Joe and John DeMasi. We have recorded videos and CD’s, appeared on numerous TV talk shows and lived the dream!

That project has started to wind down though and we only do a few gigs a year now so I have gotten into playing more local gigs. My wife seems happy to have me around more and I know that I am very happy to be around and to spend more nights sleeping in my own bed rather than a ho-tel room! I play at a lot of the nursing homes and as-sisted living facilities in the area from Oakes to Lisbon to Fargo to Valley City. You may have even walked by when I once a month rock out with the Sheyenne Care Center Rhythm Band! They are usually one hour shows

and the res-idents still have a will-ing spirit to boogie and sing along though the body may not be as co operative.

I was quite excited when Nam Sabir of Sabir’s Restaurant here in Valley City asked me if I might like to come and play at his place. He has a tradition of live mu-sic on the weekends and has had a number of different musicians playing there. It is a three-hour gig from 6 p.m. till 9ish every Friday and Saturday nights. The place has a wonderful at-mosphere, the food is excel-lent and the music definitely helps to take the dining ex-perience up a notch. Best of all, I get to brush off some of those tunes I haven’t played in years. The crowd is varied in age so I try to play ap-propriate music and I will do a few things from the Big Band era. but I mainly fo-cus on music from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s as well as some country classics by people like Johnny Cash. Kenny Rodgers and Willie Nelson. You can just sit back and lis-ten, sing a long or we even

have a few people dancing in the aisles. I bring my one man band se

t up as well as my acous-tic guitar so I can rock out or give you a table side sere-nade. I will be there for most of the summer with the ex-ception of a few weekends when I am away. I hope you will come down and let me sing your favorite song for you.

Nam has also installed a barbeque pit out in the back and will be starting outdoor dining and cooking soon. Great music and great food under the stars are a combi-nation that can’t be beat. It is also a nice way to celebrate a special occasion or to just reconnect with the one you love!

I enjoy playing at restau-rants now way more than bars because the clientele are way better behaved. They do serve alcohol at Sa-bir’s though and Nam claims that his prime rib is the best in town. There is only one way to find out of course and that is to come on down and taste it for yourself.

Live music is becoming less and less common so I really think it adds to our community to be able to of-fer services like mine to the public in a restaurant set-ting. I really look forward

to seeing you this summer. I know you won’t be disap-pointed but will agree with the couple from Oregon that was passing through

the other night and was so pleasantly surprised as they said to have such a wonder-ful evening of high quality food and high quality en-

tertainment in of all places, little old Valley City, North Dakota!

So until next time, I’ll see you from the stage!

VIEW FROM THE STAGE

Host or attend a Block PartyValley City and Barnes County are

joining the nation in encouraging everyone in the county to host or

attend a block party.Having a block part is a way for neigh-

bors to get to know each other, which will help promote awareness, safety, and neigh-borhood unity.

Block parties can also be spiritual as states Sister Dorothy Bunce, director of Mission

at Mercy Hospital, one of the organizations in Valley City encouraging everyone to participate in block parties. Bunce states, “when we learn to know each other, we get to better know the needs of others, and this will create fellowship and a sense of com-munity.” She continues by saying that this is what it means to be a caring community.

WILL SEND ITS TEAM TO MEET ENDERLIN

Enderlin will again meet an unfamil-

iar visiting team when the Manchester Biscuit Co. nine of Fargo will play base ball here Sunday afternoon. The match is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. sharp.

According to reports, the Manchester team is a strong one and will provide keen competition for the local men.

Arrangements are being made for Wyndmere to play here in the near future.

compensate the citizens of Enderlin for their disappointment over the failure of

Alice to appear for its scheduled game Tuesday, the holiday committee of the American Legion, headed by William J. Shaughnessy, framed an impromptu horse race.

Upon soliciting entries from the highways and the byways, word was sent along the thoroughfares announc-ing the approaching contest, and Mr. Shaughnessy, assisted by L. Haines and Lake Garwin, stationed himself at the ball park to serve as reception commit-tee to the three hundred anticipating holiday merry makers, who rushed forth to witness the spectacle.

On the starting line were three horses, while one lone mule, “Dynamite

He promised a better future for Indi-an children by breaking down the old cycles that have handicapped progress on Indian Reservations. The common theme of his proposals was the idea of giving Native-Americans greater con-trol of their environment.

Every Native-American deserves the chance to work hard and get ahead, he said. So he talked economic develop-ment.

“That means creating more jobs and supporting small businesses in places like Standing Rock,” he said.

From there, he went on to propose returning control of Indian educa-tion to tribal leaders, with additional resources and support so tribes could reform their schools.

While the President was holding out new hope for a distressed people, Senators Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)

and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) were ap-propriately touting the need for more research of Indian problems.

Not to be left out of the parade, North Dakota State University was promoting an American Indian Pubic Health Resource Center, consisting largely of academic programs some distance from ground zero.

Having chaired the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission for Gover-nor George Sinner for four years, my experience tells me that there is good reason to be skeptical. I have become inoculated against the oversupply of rhetoric and undersupply of every-thing needed to transform rhetoric into action.

As for the President’s proposals for economic development on reserva-tions, that is a pipedream. The folks in the reservation power structure like to hear such talk but it is unrealistic. Economic opportunities for Native-Americans cannot flourish within the perimeters of reservations.

To share in the modern economy, Native-Americans must think and par-ticipate beyond reservations. It does no good to talk about new economic opportunities as long as thinking is confined to the geographic bounds of the reservation.

The casinos were supposed to be the answer to unemployment. They pro-vided some jobs but unemployment on reservations continues to be high and will remain high as long as the only acceptable employment must be on reservations.

Then there is the President’s pro-posal to delegate more authority over schools.

If there is authority to be delegated, it will not change education on the res-ervations. The heart of the education problem, which is the root of reserva-tion unemployment, is the same as it is in non-Indian territory - motivating young people to get an education and become employable.

Russ McDonald, chairman of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe, got the mes-sage.

“No matter what kind of race you are, no matter where you come from, if you’re living in poverty and you be-come educated, you have the chance to pull yourself out.”

The solution is not deciding who turns the lights on but getting students in the classroom. We keep coming up with temporary answers for perma-nent problems because they require little courage and cost less money.

Organic gardening is gardening with-out the use of synthetic fertilizers, chemicals, growth hormones and

regulators. It requires more management and has potential of great returns in the harvest.

Organic gardening can be done in any soil. Sandy soils: it is suggested to fork in lots of compost, top off the compost with a good mulch and give it a drink of water. Loam: just add compost and mulch. Clay soils should be aerated with a garden fork, spread gypsum, and give a good soaking. Cover soil with thick wet newspaper, which is then covered with compost or mulch and then another good soaking.

Once the soil is properly prepared you can fertilize with a number of organic or natural substances.

Natural substances, such as animal ma-nure, is high in nitrogen, and bird manure is high in potassium. Plants can be grown in your organic garden to provide fertilizer,

break up compost heaps and work as a com-post activator. One such plant is a Comfrey, which is a herb plant. Chop up the leaves of the Comfrey, mix into a liquid, and spray. It will fertilize while working as a insect deterrent. Comfrey has nitrogen, calcium, potash, and phosphorus, greater than any animal manure.

To make most water mixtures, use the tea bag procedure.

Decompose, chop, or process necessary materials. Mix with water, sometimes it is necessary for the water mixture to brew for a specific amount of time. Once properly brewed, strain the water through a tea bag or coffee filter process.

Collect the water and spray over the gar-den crop.

Rotation is especially important in organ-ic gardening. It is a good idea to remember that above ground crops like leaf and fruit crops like liquid fertilizer.

When President Barack Obama paid his much-

ballyhooed visit to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Da-kota – a rare presidential visit to Indian country – tribal sovereignty was a big part of the narrative. The President touted policies like the Violence Against Women Act, which gave tribes the authority to pros-ecute crimes committed on Indian lands by non-tribal members.

“I know that throughout history, the United States often didn’t give the nation-to-nation relationship the respect that it deserved,” the President said during his brief address in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. \

“So I promised when I ran to be a President who’d change that — a President

who hon-ors our sa-cred trust, and who re-spects your sovereignty, and upholds treaty obli-gations, and who works

with you in a spirit of true partnership, in mutual respect, to give our children the future that they deserve.”

Lofty rhetoric, to be sure, but just a week after the President spoke those words a member of his administra-tion was before the House Natural Resources Com-mittee to argue against a bill that would give tribes great-er sovereignty in regulating oil and gas development on Indian land.

Something you’d think President Obama would

support, given his promise to respect the sovereignty of the tribes.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, and according to a press release on his website would allow tribes to opt-in to a categorical exclusion from the National Environ-mental Policy Act in order to speed the development of gas-gathering pipelines.

Put simply, it would give tribes more choices. They can maintain the status quo, or they can opt for a degree of autonomy.

Capturing natural gas has been a big problem in North Dakota. Because it’s been difficult for the oil and gas industry to expand gas capture alongside exploding gas production a lot of gas is getting burned off rather than used.

And nowhere in North

Dakota is flaring worse than on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation where a lengthy and sluggish federal permit-ting process has slowed the build out of capture infra-structure.

Here’s how bad it’s got-ten: On the Fort Berthold reservation, which produces roughly 30 percent of North Dakota’s oil output, flaring is 46 percent.

In the rest of state it’s 29 percent.

Cramer hopes to cut through some of the federal red tape, giving the tribe more authority to approve the built out of pipelines to capture gas instead of burn-ing it off.

But the Obama admin-istration, again after the President just visited Indian Country in North Dakota to tout his commitment to tribal sovereignty, is fighting

the legislation.“I was just with the Presi-

dent of the United States on a North Dakota reservation a week ago where he talked about honoring sovereignty and here the administration seems to be going against that very concept of sover-eignty for the tribe,” Cramer told Michael Nedd, the As-sistant Director for Minerals and Realty Management for the Bureau of Land Manage-ment, during questioning before the House Natural Resources Committee last week.

In response, Nedd told Cramer that merely giv-ing the tribes input into the BLM’s decision-making pro-cess is enough sovereignty for them.

“Congressman what I can say again that the Sec-retary’s authority under the Indian Minerals Leasing Act

certainly allows the BLM to work with the tribes in managing those trust lands,” Nedd said. “In working through the tribes with con-sultation, the BLM certainly incorporates their input into that.

“And so the administra-tion feels again they have enough authority to proceed to conduct the work on the authority Congress has giv-en them.

“This bill would just inject confusion and the admin-istration position is that we they have enough authority to do that.”

I guess the Obama ad-ministration is for tribal sovereignty, except when the tribes might govern in ways not in keeping with the Obama administration’s preferred policy.

Which, of course, really isn’t sovereignty at all.

In Luke 15 we have three parables describing things that are lost. Sometimes the chapter is called the “Lost and Found” chapter in the Bible.

The first verses of the chapter describe a lost sheep and the shepherd who seeks it out.

The next section speaks of a lost coin and a woman who diligently seeks after it.

The final parable is the one that is traditionally called the Parable of the Prodigal Son and is certainly one of the most familiar parables in the Bible.

The word “prodigal” is not one that we use very often. It describes the wasteful spending of the son after his father gave him his portion of the inheritance. The son took what he had and left the home and family he had and went to a far away country.

The Bible says in Luke 15:13, “Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.” Reckless spending and squandering what we have is bad enough in good days but the parable makes clear that a famine had come to the land he was in and his op-tion as a penniless man were severely limited. His situation is dire and he recognizes it in verse 17 when he says, “I perish here with hunger!” There is no excuse for this son’s activity, it is sin. It is horrible what he has done to his father.

Now here is where we often get focused on the son who has left his home. We begin to point out the various details that Jesus included in the parable.

Each one is important; I don’t deny that, but what we should be con-sidering most carefully is the character of the Father. Just as the prodigal son does.

As he comes to know the depth of his need he remembers the char-acter and compassion of his father. He thinks of how his father treats even his hired workers.

The son having seen his desperate need goes to the father who will help him. It seems that the son wants to try and make a deal with the father.

He wants to work so that he might be provided for in that way. The father doesn’t allow that to come up. But when the son is seen even at a far away distance, the father runs to him and embraces him. A celebra-tion erupts.

The parable continues and shows an older brother upset about all of this. Verse 28 says, “he was angry and refused to go in” to the place of celebration.

Many books have been written looking at this parable. A few words here will not sufficiently reveal to us everything God desires to show us in these words.

However, we do have the great joy of knowing that the father de-scribed in this parable is the Heavenly Father and he will receive with joy and gladness all who come to Him.

As Jesus said in John 6:37, “All that the Father give me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.” So as the father in the parable says to his older son, “your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.” This then is true for all those who believe in Jesus Christ today.

They are alive. They are found. What a gracious God we have!

“i love my freedom. i love my america.” — jessi lane adams


ParTy: from 6neighborhoods that have hosted block parties, but recently fewer have participated. “We hope to renew the spirit, and expand the idea out into the county,” notes Theresa Will, City County Health District director. “We have many new people moving into the area, and block parties will help us all meet and get to know each other,” continues Will.

When people know each other there is definitely an increase in safety in a neighborhood. That’s one reason the national slogan is: Give neighborhood crime and drugs a going away party! Reduce crime, drugs & violence.”

Chief Fred Thompson and Fire Chief Gary Retterath invite neigh-borhoods having block parties to contact them at city hall and if pos-sible they would bring a police car and fire engine. Also, city commis-sioners are available to attend and happy to talk about city happen-ings. Just give them a call at city hall (845-1700).

Anyone hosting a block party is encouraged to ‘register’ your party, whether you want the street blocked off or not. Valley City people are asked to phone city hall at 845-1700, and anyone in the ru-ral area is asked to phone Mercy Hospital at 845-6456. For more information use the same phone numbers.

KnoW: from 7 Nip”, a mighty and fierce mule, proud property of Jim Walsh, entered the gallop. The beast, upon eyeing his competitors, noted that they belonged to a different species, so suddenly withdrew from the race with break neck speed, snorting, and dashed off into the prairies.

The judges of the event, Reynold Petrich and Bob Harper, awarded the first prize of three dollars to the brown horse, the sorrel drew the two dollar second prize and the third award, one dollar, was handed to the black animal. Whereupon the three contestants trotted off happy and contented, while the bystanders remarked that the sport was much faster than the Alice game ever could have been.

n n n

Sue’s Comments: First, I need to apologize to all our Alice friends! As I have found often in my newspaper research, it evidently was quite common for neighbor-ing towns to write good-natured articles demeaning each other. Sunday afternoons and holidays were often reserved for ball games as entertainment for the entire community. Whether this article is based on any facts at all is left to each of you to decide. I would say that much of it was written with “tongue in cheek.” Remem-ber this was 1922, and everyone wasn’t carrying a cell phone so you didn’t just call up someone from the visiting team and ask if they were actually coming to play the game. When a team didn’t show up, other arrangements were often made locally, at the last minute.

omdaHl: from 7 Reservations have never been

good places for Native-Americans. They are even worse today because the American economy and society have become nationalized. Isolat-ed pockets of geography may have been feasible 200 years ago but not

today.While Native-Americans de-

serve a greater share of the public resources, performance and ac-countability must be integral parts in the delegation of more authority. Simply strengthening the parochi-alism of reservations is not an an-swer.

MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS

by Dennisstillings

In 1940, after g r a d u a t i n g from the Nor-

mal School in Val-ley City, my moth-er began teaching in a country school located somewhere between Leal and Rogers.

When my wife and I moved back here from Hawaii in 2006, it occurred to me to try to find the old school house. I started out by asking a few old-timers from the area about it.

They knew of the school build-ing, but were quite certain that it was long gone.

One old-timer suggested that the building might have been moved down to one of the settle-ments located on the west shores of Lake Ashtabula.

I made a tour of these places, but the problem turned out to be that there were several buildings that looked like they might have served as rural school houses, but there was no way to tell where any of them came from.

This experience, along with what I learned later about houses in Val-ley City, convinced me that North Dakotans have long had a habit of recycling old buildings.

I drove around town to check out what had happened to Stillings and Axelson family homes, as well as commercial and institutional buildings I remembered from my younger days in Valley City.

Our family home was gone — which I had known for a long time — as were my grade school (Lin-coln) and junior high (Ritchie). So many other familiar buildings were gone that it would be tedious, not to say sad, for me to list them here.

There were some bright spots: the houses of my grandparents and great-grandparents have sur-vived and still look much like I remember them, only in far better condition.

But in that twilight zone between

old houses still being used as residences and those that are completely gone, are the “repurposed” buildings that were once places of business.

Three of them are illus-trated here.

Gas stations tended to be located where the main traffic was, but there were a few located well into residential areas.

For a long time, there were at least eight neigh-borhood grocery stores scattered around Valley City.

Beginning in the late 1950s the neighborhood grocery began to disap-pear, and by the early 1970s only two still re-mained.

One of those was our old neighborhood store, now called Handy’s.

Repurposed and Remembered

This building at 627 Second Street SW was, in the late 1940s, Mel’s Grocery (Mel Olson), and later, Sando’s. The store was about a block from our house, and it was our go-to place for groceries. My mother sent me to Mel’s many times to pick up something, and if there was a nickel or more in change, it had better come home with me—and not in the form of a popsicle or candy bar.

Note the hours, and that there was deliv-ery.

This residence at 456 Second Street NW was once Larson Oil & Walt’s Sinclair gas station along with Kennedy’s Café. My father’s mail route was in our area, so occasionally I would toddle along while he picked up mail from the drop box on Second St. and Fifth Ave., deliver along the block we live on now, cross the tracks and stop at this 1940s ver-sion of Cenex and belly up to the coffee bar for a cup of joe, payment for which involved rolling the dice out of a dark brown leather cup, double or nothing.

This house at 625 3rd Ave. NW was known as Marvin Grocery. The structure of the building looks much like what I remember. My indul-gent paternal grandmother—my mother would perhaps have said overindulgent—would give me a nickel or two so I could go to Marvin’s and purchase a Dreamsicle, and maybe also fetch her a package of Fig Newtons.

“there is nothing wrong with america that cannot be cured by what is right with america.” — william j. clinton

between: From 8But root crops dislike liq-

uid fertilizer, compost and manure.

It is a good management to plant a root crop after a leaf or fruit crop.

It is also possible to buy organic foliage sprays over the counter.

All types of garden plants can be grown organically with ample amounts of re-turn in the harvest.

Vegetable crops vary in the nutrients they require, but some plants supply nutrients in the case of le-

gumes, but rotation is the key. Vegetables are divided into three feeding catego-ries.

Heavy feeders are toma-toes, corn, and Cucurbits. Light feeders are beans and peas; and root crops include carrots, onions and pota-toes. General rotation rule to remember is plant heavy feeder after a light feeder, plant a heavy feeder then a light feeder or a root crop. Crop rotation prevents dis-ease and aids in pest con-trol.
