Walsh presents on 12 months to the next session Filipino wisdom

DISTRICT 24 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
he 64th North Dakota Legislative Session is now less than twelve months away. Now is the time to consider changes or additions to our States Laws and regulations. Two of the most important issues I see is the Keystone Pipeline and EPAs plans to reduce carbon emissions standards for our coal plants. With the derailment and crude oil spill and fire recently near Casselton, only exemplifies the importance of completing the pipeline which would reduce the amount of crude oil shipped through our district by rail.

President Obama needs to approve this and get things moving. Most of our power is now coming from coal, EPA is trying to raise the carbon emission standards for new plants to a level that is unobtainable. This would make it impossible for any new plants to open. Their next move will be to impose these regulations on existing coal plants that would render them inoperable. Where will our power come from then? There is little we can do at the state level but urge our congressmen to fight for the pipeline and against EPA. At the State level the Human Services Committee I serve on is continuing our week nights study of Behavior Disorder.

This Study effects behavior disorders from all ages, preschool through the elderly years. Our hope is to By Rep. identify and formulate Dwight Kiefert changes to improve accessibility and delivery of better services. I also serve on the Agriculture committee where we are looking at a rewrite of the North Dakota Century Code pertaining to beekeeping and Ginseng production in our state. I have not seen anything to date in the rewrites to be of any concern to these two areas. North Dakota has been the number one producer of honey for the past five years in a row in the US. If you have ideas, concerns, changes or additions to our States laws or regulations, please contact me by email dhkiefert@nd.gov. I will continue to update you on what is happening with our committees and future concerns I see developing. It is truly and honor and privilege to serve you in our State Legislature.
he Barnes County Historical Society Lecture Series Season 16 Presents: Rob Walsh (VCSU) Pakikisama: Filipino wisdom for East and West at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, at the Barnes County Museum. At the end of the 19th century the Philippines and the United States were thrust into intercultural conversance, the vestiges of which can be felt 115 years later. Filipinos have the unique distinction in Asia of being oriental, yet having had decidedly occidental influences, including those of heritage, language, and education. The results of this amalgamation appear to be a singular ability by Filipinos to assimilate to other cultures; for example, Filipinos have one of the highest rates of assimilation of immigrants to the United States (Nasser, 2008; Nakanishi & Lai, 2003). Assimilation, however, is never a one-way street. Filipinos and Americans continue to transform each other on matters of language and culture. A further examination of the Filipino concept of pakikisama (loosely translated, getting along with others) may reveal a Filipino character strength that can portend harmony in the East but, at the same time, can produce dissonance in the West. Creating distinctions about the concept for the purpose of intercultural competence may avail the wisdom of pakikisama as a communication strategy for both East and West. Rob Walsh is a tenure-track instructor at Valley City State University in Valley City. He is a professor in the Division of Communication Arts and Social Sciences, teaching classes such as research methods; group dynamics; intercultural, interpersonal, and interviewing communication; and the fundamentals of public speaking. He is the internship coordinator for Professional Communication majors.

RIDING THE CABOOSE
Amazon smiles on the train depot I

by Linda Grotberg ecently, UPS delivered 40 pounds of lutefisk from our son Bernt in Minneapolis. I could smell the fish before I opened the box. Suddenly, I was in the back room of K.O. Landes General Store at Christmas time in 1950, helping my aunt get the big smelly chunks of fish out of a wooden barrel for customers that were anxiously waiting at the front. I spent many happy hours with her in that store as well as tagging along to the Galesburg depot to wait for the train to drop off meat from Mayville. In my 6-yearold imagination, just about everything in the whole world came and went on the train. What could be more exciting than watching for the train and seeing what it would unload! Knutes store is gone, and the railroad along with the depot. Trains no longer pick up and deliver products and supplies to households and stores in small towns, but Amazon does. In fact, Amazon may make more stops in a week to my house than that little train to the store in Galesburg! Now it gets even better with AmazonSmile. AmazonSmile: You shop. Amazon gives. Amazon donates 0.5 percent of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service. Support your charitable organization by starting your shopping at smile.amazon.com. This was incredibly easy, and now Wimbledon Community Museum gets 0.5 percent from Amazon for everything that I purchase.

hile the Associated Press says that there are more religious wars going on in the world now than at any time in world history, the United States has special troops stationed in 134 countries to fight the 15th Crusade between Christian and Muslim forces. The First Crusade started in the 11th Century when Pope By Ed Urban II urged Christians Raymond to re-capture Jerusalem taken by the Muslims in 1076: Christians, hasten to help your brothers in the East, for they are being attacked. Arm for the rescue of Jerusalem under your captain Christ. Wear his cross as your badge. If you are killed your sins will be pardoned. Many volunteered-for many different reasons. One could get rich plundering the city. The Pope assured them they would immediately go to Heaven if killed because they were fighting for God. (Where have we heard about Paradise and 72 virgins before?) One could get all of his sins forgiven fighting for God. One was protected by the Roman Catholic Church if you volunteeredand your taxes were forgiven! A few Christians believed that Jerusalem was Christian territory. A monk called Fulcher was an observer of the First Crusade. He wrote that the streets were ankle-deep in Muslim blood with thousands being slaughtered. Some Muslims were spared so they could collect all the dead bodies, estimated to be 70,000 by Muslims, and bury them outside the city. The Crusaders then took all the treasure from the Dome of the Rock. So over the last thousand years we have had about 15 Crusades between these two religious forceswith nothing settled since Osama bin Laden started the latest one.
Nation, writes: Faith inspires violence in two ways. First, people often kill other human beings because they believe the creator of the universe wants them to do it...Second, far greater numbers of people fall into conflict with one another because they define their moral community on the basis of their religious affiliation: Muslims side with Muslims, Protestants with Protestants, Catholics with Catholics. Of the 198 countries in the Pew study, 33 percent had high religious hostilities in 2012, up 13 percent since 2007. Religious minorities were attacked in 47 percent of the countries in 2012. Not only Muslims and Christians are involved. In Buddhistmajority Sri Lanka, monks constantly attacked both Muslims and Christians in 2012. Sri Lanka has had problems among religions for decades.

Does faith inspires violence? The evidence seems clear Although some studies indicate there is less violence in the world, the Pew Research Center also indicates that religious hostilities are increasing and reached a sixyear high in 2012. Sam Harris, well-known atheist and author of Letter to a Christian
2,300 Virgins in one day? Is that another religious miracle? Some Muslim countries, particularly Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq, have had deadly conflicts among Sunnis, Shias, Kurds, Ahmadis, Wahabis, Jews, and Christians for centuries. Recently Iraqi Sunnis recruited 32 male suicide bombers to attack Iraqi Shiasin one day. We havent heard whether the Sunnis ran out of virgins in Paradise that day. Over 2,300 seems like a lot to me. Sam Harris may be right: Scripture itself remains a perpetual engine of extremism... The God of the Bible And the Allah of the Koran are not moderates. Reading scripture more closely, one does find reasons to be a proper religious lunaticto fear the fires of Hell, to despise non-believers, to persecute homosexuals...Of course anyone can cherry-pick scripture and find reasons to love his neighbor and to turn the other cheek. But the more fully a person grants credence to these books, the more he will be convinced that infidels, heretics, and apostates deserve to be smashed to atoms in Gods loving machinery of justice. Bad religious stuff tends to happen in crazy countries. But lets remember that Ugandas anti-gay laws allowing the death penalty for homosexual acts came directly from right-wing American Christians who are

At last count there were about 32,000 religious sects and denominations This number seems to prove that some humans are always looking for the way, the truth, the life but not finding it. The Vatican claims it has had the basic truths for over 2,000 years within the Roman Catholic Church. Some Christians dont believe it. Mecca claims it has been the only source of religious truth for over 1,400 years. Some Muslims dont believe that either, and have fought each other with scimitars and bombs since the Sunni-Shia split around 700 A.D. One might think that humans would understand from their total lack of ability to predict the future that it is likely they dont understand the past either. Including religion. In my last issue of The American Legion Magazines technology section the editors have listed Fearless Predictions that should have been retracted by now: 1825: The Quarterly Review asked: What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as stagecoaches? 1876: An internal Western Union memo: This telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.
1899: The Literary Digest declared: The ordinary horseless carriage...is a luxury for the wealthy; although its price will probably fall in the future, it will never, of course, come into as common use as the bicycle. 1936: The New York Times, panning space travel: A rocket will never br able to leave the Earths atmosphere. 1939: The New York Times argued: The problem with television is that people must sit and keep their eyes glued on a screen; the average American family hasnt time for it. 1995: The tech magazine InfoWorld: The Internet will soon go supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse. So much for all that collective human brain power. But think of all the nonsense, gobblygook, balderdash, hyperbole, histrionics, and outright huckstering that has taken place in religion since Greek priests examined and read the guts of chickens to see what the next millenium would bring. While Rosetta Says Hello And Scientists Study Women And Their Genetic Complexity, The Vatican Taliban And The Muslim Taliban Continue To Subjugate Women The European space probe Rosetta was launched in 2004 to eventually rendezvous with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko ten years and 500 million miles from earth later. It will land a 220-pound lander vehicle in August, 2014. When Rosetta woke up after a 2 and year sleep and said Hello, World, it took 45 minutes for the radio signal to travel the 500 million miles. Think of it! We are going to land on a comet with a solar-powered

omeone once told me that once I had been a pastor for a year I would have done more public speaking than 95 percent of people would ever do in their whole lives. I dont know how accurate that is because someone also once told me that 87 percent percent of statistics were made up on the spot (Like that one). Whether the By The Rev. statistics are true or not, Dennis Norby as a pastor I have been preaching and speaking in front of people for a number of years now. I certainly dont claim to be the most eloquent of speakers or capable of soaring rhetoric. But having done that, I have been reminded that pastors are not necessarily supposed to be the most memorable speakers. What I mean is that at the end of a sermon preached no preacher should be seeking that he be remembered as a great speaker but that the greatness of Jesus Christ might be remembered. That being said, no preacher should use that point as an excuse for not working to communicate the message clearly. The claims are sometimes made that the preacher was boring, or kept stumbling over his words, or any other comment.

things that pastors should be working on continuously. Many pastors I know continue to study preaching that they might communicate more clearly and that the message may not be detracted from by some of those claims. Some will say that preaching is a foolish thing to start with. After all it is just a bunch of words. To this we say that faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). So a preacher preaching his own words is certainly a foolish thing. But a faithful pastor opening Gods word to the congregation is a communication of life giving words. As the Apostle Paul had just said in Romans 10:15, How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news! We are certainly thankful for faithful preachers who have communicated the Word of God to us. As 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Those who do not believe this word preached will think it something to laugh at and to mock. This is especially true of the teaching of the Bible

This weeks article was again found in the November 18, 1915 issue of The Enderlin Independent under the heading: By Susan Some of our Progressive Schlecht Farmers. ************ EVER GULLICKSON The subject of this sketch came to Ransom County in 1880 and took up a homestead which has been the home of the Gullicksons ever since that time. With Mrs. Gullickson and their son Ed, then a baby, he drove in a wagon all the way from Buffalo and camped on the site of their future home. Later he hauled the lumber to build his claim shanty from Buffalo, making the trip in two days. From this inauspicious beginning, Mr. and Mrs. Gullickson have made for themselves a comfortable home for their old age and have reared a family of five children three boys and two girls all grown now and holding positions of honor and responsibility. Their second son, Severt, who is now located at the court house as special deputy to Sheriff Ray Craig, has the distinction of being the first white child born on the site of the city of Enderlin. Mr. Gullicksons farm adjoins the city on
the south and at present comprises a half section of as fine land as one could wish for. He has a large horse and stock barn and a fine modern house. The place is easily worth $32,000 but Mr. Gullickson says it is not for sale. In speaking of his success, Mr. Gullickson is very modest. He says, We came here with nothing but a team of horses and a wagon. We havent much, but enough for our needs. This surely is the contentment of a well spent life. By the way, the gentleman also has a quarter section of land in the northern part of the state which he bought when land was cheap which is paying him grand returns on his investment. ------------WHAT ONE RENTER HAS DONE About twenty-four or twenty-five years ago Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Norris, a young couple, came out from Canada and rented a farm northeast of Enderlin, where they toiled for three years and then moved to their present home on the Maple river five miles northeast of this city, still renting. Fifteen years ago they decided that they would own their own farm and having saved enough to make a payment, negotiated with the owner of the farm for the purchase half section with the Maple running through it. The farm was well adapted to growing stock as well as grain and Mr. Norris worked gradually into this line of farming until at this time his cattle and hogs are an important item of the

lander from Rosetta, then the two probes will stay with the comet and send signals back to us until December, 2015. And what has the Muslim and Vatican-American Talibans been doing during this period? The Muslim Taliban was blowing up girls schools in the Swat Valley in Pakistan and shooting 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai in the head because she criticized the Taliban for denying females an access to education. The Taliban barred women from working outside the home and allowed them to leave that home only when accompanied by a male relative. Mullah Fuzlullah, the man who planned the attack on Malala while she was riding a school bus, recently replaced the chief of the Pakistani Taliban who was killed by a drone missile. We can only hope he is the next one to be blown to Paradise and the virgins. The Vatican-American Taliban investigated nuns around the world during Rosetta because they were spending too much time taking care of the poor and the sick instead of spouting medieval doctrine. The Vatican also kept insisting women could not be priests, bishops, cardinals and popes-- because Jesus had no female apostles. If the Vatican and its bishops had been in charge of Rosetta it would never have gotten off the launch pad. While Rosetta was flying to the comet 67/P, other scientists were working on the mysterious X chromosome, the chromosome that determines whether a human egg will produce a male or female. (If an egg inherits an X chromosome from both parents, it becomes a female. If it gets an X from mom and a Y from pop its a male. End of genetic lesson.) But there is remarkable complexity about X chromosomes in the female. For some reason females have more genetic diversity than males. Scien-

According to the research team, a mothers X chromosome can dominate the left side of the brain while the X of the fathers dominates the right. Complete organs can be dominated by one parent. This research could result in a cancer cure. Whats more important? Killing each other over the ignorant ramblings of 7th Century Muslims and 11Th Century Catholic popes, or solving some of the most perplexing questions facing mankind? End of sermon.

Talibans around the world are certainly devout When Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 American Taliban leader James Dobson of Focus on the Family fame asked Christians to pray for rain during the inauguration ceremonies. It didnt. Religious nuts are always asking God to send tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and other major climate events such as blizzards to foil Satans (or Democratic!) celebrations. I still remember when Pat Robertson asked Christians to pray to God to send a huge storm to Tampa, Florida to punish the citizens for being so accepting of gays. Actually, a couple of days later a storm blasted Virginia near Robertsons home. Message sent?? During the January 22 anti-abortion March For Life held in Washington James Dobson endured the weather gods when he addressed the pro-life crowd in belowzero wind chill. Dobson said it was so cold I cant make my mouth work! There was no mention of having Christians pray for a quick warm-up. And I cant leave out the 125 snake-handling congregations still

OPINION: OMDAHL
orth Dakotas congressional delegation is celebrating new Essential Air Service (EAS) contracts for commercial flights into Devils Lake and Jamestown, but the numbers might leave taxpayers feeling cold. On January 30th,2014, Department of Transportations Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs Susan L. Kurkland signed an order granting SkyWest Airlines over $6.35 million in subsidies to provide eleven weekly round-trip flights between the two cities and Denver from April 1st, 2014 through June of 2016. Thats up 32 percent from the more than $4.79 million Great Lakes Aviation was paid over the previous two years for providing flights between the cities and Minneapolis. The DOT estimates that SkyWest will make 2,242 trips to both cities per year. SkyWests proposal estimated that 16,000 passengers would be served between the two cities with a $5,500 - $5,700 round trip subsidy per flight. Thats over $125,000 in subsidies for flights serving the two cities per week. SkyWests proposal calls for a roughly $400 per-passenger subsidy from each city, with the average fare paid by the passengers coming in at just over $100. Pretty good deal for the passengers. Not such a great deal for the taxpayers. But wait, theres more, and this will probably make those of you who are environmentalists unhappy. Based on SkyWests proposal the flights would average about seven passengers per trip, though the airline is required by the DOT order to use a regional jet with fifty seats. Data from online flight tricking website FlightAware indicates that the average number of passengers on flights to Minneapolis over the last year was fifteen for Jamestown and eight for Devils Lake. Whatever the numbers end up being, I think we can rest assured that the average number of passengers per flight will be something far less than fifty. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this whole wasteful spectacle is how happy both the Republican and Democrat members of our congressional delegation are about it.
This is an example of the way federal, state, and local officials can work together to deliver results to improve the lives of North Dakotans, Senator John Hoeven, a Republican, and Senator Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat, said in a joint press release issued along with Rep. Kevin Cramer, a Republican. As a result of this decision, Devils Lake- and Jamestownarea residents will have access to quality, reliable air service. This is also a big win for the local econoBy Rob mies, which greatly benefit Port from the air service. Many political observers fawn over the concept of bipartisanship, but this situation proves that when the politicians start working together its usually the taxpayers getting the short end of the stick. The delegation fought hard for these flights, too. In a letter dated January 17th, 2014, they asked the Department of Transportation to approve the EAS bid despite the increase in subsidy amount and the proposal falling short of the programs twelve weekly flight minimum. Great Lakes Aviation put in a proposal requesting a subsidy for both cities
n case you havent noticed, the Founding Fathers created a governmental system that is not supposed to work until we can mobilize massive agreement. With separation of powers, we have had modest gridlock for two centuries so it was inevitable that we would end up some day with a By Lloyd political system that doesnt Omdahl work at all. With the system disabled, people who have easy solutions for the tough questions need to step forward. Right now, food stamps are high on the political agenda for both parties. The Democrats want more; the Republicans want less. Its time for creative thinking. As Number 8 in a family of 11, I learned a lot from the older Numbers 6 and 7 who were twins. Whenever we had a family event, they would get into this argument about welfare. Number 6 argued that the government should turn welfare over to the churches. Number 7 disagreed, claiming that the churches wouldnt do it. They both were right. Since 77 percent of us claim to be Christians, it seems that we could approach this PORT: 16 argument from a religious point of view.
In the early church, Christians sold everything and put it into the common pot to take care of everyones needs. This was Godly communism as opposed to Lenins Godless communism. Given our inherent selfishness and greed, we defend our self-interest by alleging that God and communism are incompatible and that all communism must be Godless. That permits us to unleash our greed. However, the Bible disagrees. From Pauls writings (I Timothy 5:9-11) in A.D. 63 some 25 years after the launch of communal living in Acts - we find reference to continued church support for needy people. And it was a lot more than food stamps. Todays Christians would never let the church take over welfare. After all, weve already reduced the tithe from the 23 percent in the Old Testament down to 10 percent today and, after various exemptions, deductions, car payments, credit cards, cruises, sports tickets and eating out, we end up with only four percent for the collection plate. (Please, atheists! This is no time to hit us with that great hymn of commitment titled I Surrender All.) So lets say that a church would decide to implement this radical love one another

operating in the Bible Belt. Tennessee banned snake handling in 1947, but snake handlers such as 22 year-old Andrew Hamblin come out of their baskets on occasion to prove their faith by handling rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins. Young Robert has become a TV hit on a program called Snake Salvation. According to research by the Barna Research Group in 2008 the Bible Belt Taliban has the highest divorce rate in the country. Even atheists have a better divorce rate than born-again Christians and Southern Baptists. Divorce doesnt seem to be a factor with the Muslim Taliban. The Taliban has a very strict interpretation of Sharia, the Muslim law. They reinforce their ideas with public executions and punishments such as floggings. Perhaps you remember the TV scenes of Muslim women who violated Sharia being shot in the head before thousands in Kandahar and Kabul. The Taliban bans TV, music, the Internet while strictly enforcing the rule that men must wear beards. They do publish the taped interviews of their young dead suicide bombers through websites. I have often wondered if there are any old male suicide bombers. They all seem terribly young to me. Women caught wearing fingernail polish may have their fingers chopped off by members of the Ministry for the Protection of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. I wonder if either Taliban gives a damn about what Rosetta and the X chromosome findings can do for personkind.

Start by forming a thread bed and securing a set of red dumbbell eyes with multiple figure-eight wraps, until locked in place (1). Then tie in a clump of pheasant marabou as a tail, about the same length as the hook (2). Advance your thread and tie in a second clump of marabou, so that the fibers are evenly distributed around the hook shank (3). Repeat that process again, forming a nice marabou body (4). Next, select three silicone legs, about 3 or 4 inches and length, and fold them in half, so you have a small loop on each end. Tie one set of legs by the loop in on each side and rotate your fly to tie one on the bottom - which will be the top of the fly, when fished (5). Next tie in two reddish or barred (or both!) rump hackles by the tips, and wrap them up to just behind the dumbbell eyes so their curvature faces back toward the bend; secure and trim off the excess (6). Build a thread head in front of the eyes, whip finish, trim the thread and add a drop of epoxy to complete the fly (7).

Lakes experiencing great winter fishing

ike a lot of people, Im often guilty of following a routine. Thats particularly true when it comes to choosing fishing spots. Year after year I can fish the same lakes, recall past visits, and assess the current state whether the water is up or down, or whether there are more or fewer people than were fishing in the past. And I know the spots to fish, what bait to use and what By Im likely to catch. Doug Leier However, theres never been a better time in North Dakota to break the routine, and Id do well to take my own advice and try some new fishing spots. Since these just might be the hay-days of fishing in North Dakota, we have so many places to discover that could just beat that old standby Not only are the waters deeper, wider and more abundant, so are the fish populations. In addition, the real and perceived technology is making finding the fish even more efficient than ever before. No, Im not talking about the latest in sonar and elec-

tronic gadgets, but just simply access to lake locations, stocking reports, contour maps and other lake information. Jerry Weigel, State Game and Fish Department fisheries production and development section leader, says each year data is collected on a few new waters or existing waters that have experienced significant change. Contour fishing maps are developed from this data to show the layout of the lake, public access and local facilities. Several of these lakes are currently experiencing good winter fishing, Weigel said So these maps should be very timely. Contour maps recently added to the website are Battle Lake, Eddy County; Buffalo Lake, Pierce County; Coe Lake, Eddy County; Consolidated Lake, Sargent County; Dry Lake, Foster County; Horseshoe Lake, Richland County; HurdsfieldTuffy Lake, Wells County; Lueck Lake, Richland County; Marvin Miller, Logan County; New Rockford Reservoir, Eddy County; Ryan Pond, Grand Forks County; Shutte Lake, Rolette County; Silver Creek Dam, Nelson County; and Wahl Lake, Richland County.
Weigel said the department attempts to have maps for all waters with public boat ramps. With all the new water across the state, it has been a work in progress adding and updating fish waters. All contour maps available to date can be found by accessing the fishing link at gf.nd. gov/fishing, then clicking on fishing waters and access. Even beyond what is documented, Ive heard reports from anglers with their own local expertise realizing how past years flood events or high water temporarily connected sloughs, lakes and waterways and with modern mobility light years ahead of the past, anglers are setting off on their own excursions to possibly find their own secret hot spot. Many of these waters are more winter-type fisheries, with limited access after ice out. And while were into the back half of ice fishing this year, the nice thing is these same bodies of water should provide opportunities for seasons to come. But its still not too late to go exploring, to find a new lake that might become a go to spot, or just start making a list of places to go for the next ice fishing season. a church that required less money. So Brother No. 6 was right. The churches should be doing more of what government is doing. Brother No. 7 was also right. Churches wont do it. Heres my solution. Instead of trying to emulate those radical early Christians who surrendered all, I propose that we have a food drive once a year. That would be a compromise even this Congress could find acceptable.

such a program would look like sheer lunacy. We would rather romanticize the early Christians than be them. And can you imagine the church budget meeting when the parishioners got to critique the list of recipients of emergency unemployment, food stamps and medical aid?

concerning the Savior Jesus Christ dying as our substitute on the Cross. The world thinks it folly that God would humble himself taking on flesh and dying on a cross. It would be folly to think that if God had not revealed it to us through the words of the Apostles recorded for us in the Bible. But that is the Good News. Jesus died in your place to pay the price for your sins. So I would encourage each of you, pray for faithful preaching. Pray for preaching that declares the truths of Scripture concerning the Cross of Jesus Christ and the salvation purchased there for us. This message proclaimed to us is the power of God bringing forgiveness and eternal life to us.

farms income. He added another quarter to the farm making it now 180 acres. By thrift and the right kind of farming he has made the farm pay good dividends. This last summer they decided that the old house was not the right kind of a home for the father, mother, two young men and a young lady their children all living at home, so they remodeled it into a commodious modern home equipped with furnace and water piped through the building. With an ideal location, the house surrounded with massive trees and beautiful shrubbery, they have that which would be the envy of any city dweller. ******************* Sues Comments: I have featured several different articles in the past concerning the Gullicksons, some of Enderlins first residents. More information on the family can be found on the ND Digital Horizons website - http:// www.digitalhorizonsonline.org/ and search the 1941 Enderlin history book, page 41. This concludes the articles on the progressive farmers found in the 1915 newspaper. If you have further information about any of these families which you would like to share with the readers, please send it to the Independent office. ****************** Watch for more history next week!

Tying screaming streamers for fishing

he key to great fly tying is learning to use what you have most readily available to make flies that you can catch fish on. Its no secret that my predominant autumn pastime is pheasant hunting, leaving me with multiple tailfans and preserved skins to buoy my vise time throughout winter and well into spring. This works out perfectly for any fly pattern out there, as you can take classic recipes and substitute any pheasant feather for one part or another (or maybe all) and youve got a killer fly which catches fish and adds a lot more excitement to the recipes! Pheasant Seaducer Once such example of replacing all the normal feathers with brighter pheasant feathers is the Seaducer. A simple combination of common hackle feathers, this streamer with saltwater origins can be easily modified with pheasant feathers to make a great looking streamer for bass, pike and big trout. The pheasant version will replace the standard wet hackle with rooster rump hackles and help you catch fish

this spring with your favorite fall quarry.

MATERIALS Hook: Saltwater Mustad 3407 #1-4 Thread: 3/0 Red Tail: 4 Brown Rump Feathers & 2 Strands of Mylar Tinsel Hackles: 3 Brown Rump Feathers, 1 Barred Rump Feather
Start your thread on the hook and advance it to the end of the shank, just before the bend (1). Tie in two brown rump hackles by the stem, with colored side facing out and so they are even at the tips forming the first part of the tail (2). Advance your thread forward a bit and tie in the next pair of brown rump feathers in the same manner so they are even, and partially cover the first set of hackles (3). Then tie in the mylar tinsel strands, so that their ends are even with the end of the flys tail (4). Now take a brown rump feather and stroke the fibers down toward the stem, tying it in by the tip with curvature facing forward. Palmer the hackle forward three times, secure and trim the excess (5). Repeat the process with the other brown feathers, forming the back part of
the hackle collar (6). Finally, tie in the barred rump feather in the same manner as the brown hackle, only this time with the curvature of the feather facing the back of the fly. Palmer the hackle toward the hook eye, secure, trim and whip finish (7). Your PheaSeaducer is complete! I have found this fly to be absolutely deadly on smallmouth bass, and it is a good imitator for small fish and shrimp that live in brackish water where redfish and speckled trout roam, if you ever head south for some saltwater action.
