H
eartland Flax
in Valley City is
under the radar in
the area.
Te company takes fax
and transforms it into fax
oil, four and meal, which
is then used in many food
products.
Flax is the plant ver-
sion of fsh oil, said Tara
Anderson, export man-
ager. Its a component of
Omega 3, 6 and 9.
Any product that says
on the wrapper it is a good
source of Omega 3 has fax
in it.
Te company has more
than 70 employees and
believes its location is
perfect.
Were in the heart of
fax country, said Bob
Larson, who is in charge
of sales. Flax is all over
the world and were 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, wafes,
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 fax is used there.
Heartland Flax processes
fax
into
many
products and ships it to
other locations for use.
Name a food company
and we probably have fax
in some product, Larson
said. Flax is a great source
of fber 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.

T
oday is the day Americans take
to lighting freworks and having a
grand time.
Ofen, however, people dont realize
why they are doing these things.
In plain English,
its because our
forefathers stood
up against oppres-
sion, against high
taxes and against a
king.
Why we ofen
take for granted the
freedoms we have,
it wasnt always the
case. Te original
13 colonies fought
for our freedom
and won.
July 4 is Inde-
pendence Day in
the United States
of America. Its our birthday as a nation,
circa 1776, and beftting a nation as great
as ours, we celebrate with freworks.
Tose freworks 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 fag still few strong.
Tats strong symbolism and we cel-
ebrate each year beftting his song.
Take a moment between watermelon
bites and remem-
ber ben Franklin,
George Washing-
ton and the others
who fought against
Englands king to
make us free.
Tink of the
Declaration of In-
dependence and of
the Constitution.
Sing heartily to
our patriotic songs
and salute the fag
proudly.
Tank a veteran.
Tank a soldier.
Tank God.
Be safe this holiday. Dont drink and
drive. Take precautions when lighting
freworks.
But stand proud. For on this day,
Americans stand together.

THE CEMENT OF THIS UNION IS THE HEART-BLOOD OF EVERY AMERICAN. THOMAS JEFFERSON
O
ne of the things I
enjoy about being
a musician are the
diferent 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 CDs, appeared
on numerous TV talk shows
and lived the dream!
Tat 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! Tey
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 Sabirs 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 diferent
musicians playing there. It
is a three-hour gig from 6
p.m. till 9ish every Friday
and Saturday nights. Te
place has a wonderful at-
mosphere, the food is excel-
lent and the music defnitely
helps to take the dining ex-
perience up a notch. Best of
all, I get to brush of some of
those tunes I havent played
in years. Te 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 cant 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.
Tey do serve alcohol at Sa-
birs though and Nam claims
that his prime rib is the best
in town. Tere is only one
way to fnd 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 wont 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, Ill see
you from the stage!

Host or attend a Block Party
V
alley 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.

DID YOU KNOW?
Remembering baseball back in the day
P
resident Barack
Obama has come
and gone.
While on the Stand-
ing Rock Indian Res-
ervation south of
Bismarck, he gave a
message of encourage-
ment to all of the resi-
dents in Indian Coun-
try.
He promised a better future for Indi-
an children by breaking down the old
cycles that have handicapped progress
on Indian Reservations. Te 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.
Tat 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 lef 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 Afairs 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 Presidents proposals for
economic development on reserva-
tions, that is a pipedream. Te folks
in the reservation power structure like
to hear such talk but it is unrealistic.
Economic opportunities for Native-
Americans cannot fourish 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
confned to the geographic bounds of
the reservation.
Te casinos were supposed to be the
answer to unemployment. Tey 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.
Ten there is the Presidents pro-
posal to delegate more authority over
schools.
If there is authority to be delegated,
it will not change education on the res-
ervations. Te 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 youre living in poverty and you be-
come educated, you have the chance to
pull yourself out.
Te 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.

WE SLEEP PEACEFULLY AT NIGHT, CRADLED BY THE BIG STRONG HANDS OF AMERICA. VAL SAINTSBURY
PAGE 08
O
rganic 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 of 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 specifc amount of time. Once properly
brewed, strain the water through a tea bag
or cofee flter 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.

W
hen 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. Te
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
ofen didnt 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 whod
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.
Lofy rhetoric, to be sure,
but just a week afer 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 youd think
President Obama would
support, given his promise
to respect the sovereignty of
the tribes.
Te 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. Tey
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 its
been difcult for the oil and
gas industry to expand gas
capture alongside exploding
gas production a lot of gas
is getting burned of rather
than used.
And nowhere in North
Dakota is faring 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.
Heres how bad its got-
ten: On the Fort Berthold
reservation, which produces
roughly 30 percent of North
Dakotas oil output, faring is
46 percent.
In the rest of state its 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 of.
But the Obama admin-
istration, again afer the
President just visited Indian
Country in North Dakota
to tout his commitment to
tribal sovereignty, is fghting
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
BLMs decision-making pro-
cess is enough sovereignty
for them.
Congressman what I
can say again that the Sec-
retarys 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.
Tis 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 administrations
preferred policy.
Which, of course, really
isnt sovereignty at all.

I
n Luke 15 we have three parables describing things
that are lost. Sometimes the chapter is called the
Lost and Found chapter in the Bible.
Te frst verses of the chapter describe a lost sheep
and the shepherd who seeks it out.
Te next section speaks of a lost coin and a woman
who diligently seeks afer it.
Te fnal 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.
Te word prodigal is not one that we use very ofen. It describes the
wasteful spending of the son afer his father gave him his portion of the
inheritance. Te son took what he had and lef the home and family he
had and went to a far away country.
Te 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!
Tere is no excuse for this sons activity, it is sin. It is horrible what he
has done to his father.
Now here is where we ofen get focused on the son who has lef his
home. We begin to point out the various details that Jesus included in
the parable.
Each one is important; I dont 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.
Te 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. Te
father doesnt 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.
Te 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 sufciently 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. Tis then is true for all those who believe in
Jesus Christ today.
Tey are alive. Tey are found.
What a gracious God we have!

PARTY: From 6
neighborhoods 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
Teresa 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 defnitely an increase in
safety in a neighborhood. Tats
one reason the national slogan
is: Give neighborhood crime and
drugs a going away party! Reduce
crime, drugs & violence.
Chief Fred Tompson 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 fre 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 of 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 ferce mule,
proud property of Jim Walsh,
entered the gallop. Te beast, upon
eyeing his competitors, noted that
they belonged to a diferent species,
so suddenly withdrew from the race
with break neck speed, snorting,
and dashed of into the prairies.
Te judges of the event, Reynold
Petrich and Bob Harper, awarded
the frst 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 of happy and contented,
while the bystanders remarked that
the sport was much faster than the
Alice game ever could have been.
n nn
Sues Comments: First, I need to
apologize to all our Alice friends!
As I have found ofen in my
newspaper research, it evidently
was quite common for neighbor-
ing towns to write good-natured
articles demeaning each other.
Sunday afernoons and holidays
were ofen reserved for ball games
as entertainment for the entire
community. Whether this article
is based on any facts at all is lef
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
wasnt carrying a cell phone so you
didnt just call up someone from
the visiting team and ask if they
were actually coming to play the
game. When a team didnt show
up, other arrangements were ofen
made locally, at the last minute.
OMDAHL: From 7
Reservations have never been
good places for Native-Americans.
Tey 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.

HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY BEST WHO STRIVES TO MAKE IT BEST. ROBERT G. INGERSOLL
PAGE 18 the independent - 07.04.14
MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS
By Dennis
STILLINGS
I
n 1940, afer
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 fnd the
old school house. I started out by
asking a few old-timers from the
area about it.
Tey 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.
Tis 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.
Tere 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.
Tree of them are illus-
trated here.
Gas stations tended
to be located where the
main trafc 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 Handys.
Repurposed and Remembered
This building at 627 Second Street SW was, in the late 1940s, Mels
Grocery (Mel Olson), and later, Sandos. The store was about a block
from our house, and it was our go-to place for groceries. My mother
sent me to Mels many times to pick up something, and if there was a
nickel or more in change, it had better come home with meand 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 & Walts
Sinclair gas station along with Kennedys Caf. My fathers 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 grandmothermy mother would perhaps have said
overindulgentwould give me a nickel or two so I could go to Marvins
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 8
But root crops dislike liq-
uid fertilizer, compost and
manure.
It is a good management
to plant a root crop afer 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 afer 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.
