sition entitled, Stepping Out chosen as the theme song for National Ballroom Dance Week in 1992, and having his orchestra voted as The Outstanding Band by the National Ballroom & Entertainment Association. Born and raised on a farm near Gackle, he was more interested in music than farming. His dad, Henry SommerSommerfeld feld started a band in 1929, composed entirely of family members. Myron began playing guitar, then at age 14 switched to drums. It seems that his dads band was called in to replace a band that canceled out and Myron was hurriedly drafted to take over the drum chair. He played with his father for quite awhile and in 1956 launched his own rock n roll band, primarily composed of family members. Music is a way of life for the Sommerfelds. The family tradition continued with the addition of their daughter, Bonnie. Bonnie, an accomplished jazz musician, received her BS degree in music at MSU and studied music for 2 years at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, MA. She has won many awards for her improvisation skills on saxophone and flute. Because of an injury, she no longer plays her instruments, but continues to improvise by using her voice, becoming a master scat singer. For more than 50 years, the Myron Sommerfeld Orches-

NEW BUILDING
Brick School House Likely to be Built in Sheldon Next Summer. PLANS PERFECTING! School Board and People Favorable to Scheme for New Structure. FUNDS ARE WITHIN REACH South Side Park Grounds in High Favor for the Building Site. ---------------Extensive improvements are now going on in Sheldon. One new brick storeroom is almost completed, the brick walls to three other rooms are well under way and the new bank block begins to assume shape. All these buildings will be completed this fall and when finished will give the town a decidedly metropolitan appearance. The burnt district will be further improved next year and all new buildings hereafter erected on Main street will be of brick. The town trustees settled this matter by ordinance soon after the big fire last spring.
Next year offers possibilities for even greater improvement. It is highly probable that a brick school house will be erected. The school board has had the matter under consideration some time. President Banks says the school township now has on hand a By Susan large portion of the funds required for Schlecht a new structure and by another year it is thought that this important step may be safely taken. An effort will be made to dispose of the old building and should it be successful the new building will be assured. The old building could be utilized for some business. Wagor & Co. are considering the advisability of buying the structure with a view of converting it into a wareroom for their farm machinery, their growing business demanding something of the kind. Judge Smith says the assurance of a nice brick school house offers a strong inducement for some enterprising and patriotic citizen to purchase the old building in the interest of the new and commendable project. ***** In the event that a new school house is built it will be made two stories in height and with a seating capacity sufficiently large to meet all Fresh Produce, dairy & Meats! requirements

ow-income senior citizens and disabled persons are urged to contact their local assessor or county tax director because of recent changes in eligibility requirements for the North Dakota Homestead Tax Credit. The state-funded Homestead Credit program benefits homeowners who are 65 years of age or older, or those who are permanently and totally disabled. Qualified applicants receive a reduction in property taxes on their primary residence. Previously, the income limit after certain deductions was $26,000, and the value of assets an applicant might have and still remain qualified was capped at $75,000. Senate Bill 2171, approved by the 2013 Legislature and signed into law by Governor Jack Dalrymple recently, has increased the income limit to $42,000 after certain deductions, and raised the value of
assets to $500,000, which now includes the value of the residence. These changes take effect for the 2013 property tax statements that will be sent in December. Homeowners can apply for the credit by completing the Homestead Credit Application for Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons; for more information about the program or for the proper application, homeowners should contact their local assessor or county director of tax equalization. Senior or disabled citizens who live in Valley City and think they now might qualify under these expanded limits can contact the city assessor, Sandy Hansen, at 701-845-8123. The assessors office is at 254 2nd Ave NE Those who live outside the city limits but in Barnes County can call the Barnes County Office of Tax Equalization at 701-845-8515.

group of landowners living in Ft. Ransom near the Keystone pipeline are not happy with noise coming from a Keystone pump station. The pump station is responsible for regulating the pressure of the oil as it moves along the pipeline route. The pump station has been producing an annoying loud whine for over three years. Bruce Pantzke, a landowner and Dakota Resource Council member who lives less than a mile from the pump station, wants something to be done about the unnerving noise coming from the pump station as soon as possible. I moved to Ft. Ransom for the quiet and serenity of the Sheyenne River Valley, and now I live next to a pump station that makes a high pitched whine. The whine from the pump sounds like nails on a chalkboard, said Pantzke Pantzke and several other folks have joined Dakota Resource Council in an effort to create a community group that will work to quiet the pump station. So far the group in the Ft. Ransom area has filed an informal complaint with the North Dakota Public Service Commission as well as sent letters and called TransCanada officials regarding the noise produced by the pumper station. Reggie Brummond, a sportsman from Jamestown, has hunted and fished in the Sheyenne River Valley for many years and finds the noise of the pumper station destroys his recreational experience. When I go to Ft. Ransom to hunt I do not expect to hear a loud whine while I am waiting for a deer. For the sake the valley, something needs to be done to quiet the pump station; otherwise, I am going to need to find somewhere else to hunt, said Brummond There are 18 landowners who live within 3 miles of the pump station. In addition, two state parks (Ft. Ransom State Park, and Little Yellowstone State Park), which lie less than 4 miles from the pump station. Visitors in the parks can hear the whine of the pump station within the both park boundaries. The sound of the pump station has a definite impact on the recreational value of these parks. This noise issue has most definitely reduced the quality of life, the serenity and peace of the valley, as well as the value of properties in the surrounding area, said Pantzke The landowners in Ft. Ransom want the pump station to be quieted. They are calling upon TransCanada to be a good steward and do what is necessary to preserve the quiet of the Sheyenne River Valley.

The times they are a-changinparticularly for the haves and have-nots
I
think Bob Dylan of Minnesota fame is one of the best contemporary song writers about real substance-and one of the worst singers who ever tramped the stage. To me he sounds like a guttural hog grunting in a rain barrel. But I thought of his very thoughtful song The Times They Are A-Changin after reading the Star Tribunes perceptive articles about the haves and the havenots in the metro areas high school athletic programs and viewing the PBS special Detropia. His first stanza outlines our societys problems succinctly: Come gather round people-wherever you roam-and admit the waters Around you have grown-and accept it that soon youll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin-then you better start swimmin Or youll sink like a stone-for the times they are achangin. In The Country Of The Greedy, The One-Eyed Hedge Fund Manager Is King... Shortly after Ronald Reagan was elected president and brought his California Mafia to the Washington Buffet, Wall Street trader Ivan Boesky told business students at the University of California his philosophy of life: Greed is all right, by the way. I want you to know that. I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself. Thus he, more or less, ushered in our third Gilded Age of greed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Boesky inspired Oliver Stones movie Wall Street in 1987, where Michael Douglas playing the corporate raider and stock manipulator Gordon Gekko uttered the immortal words of the Wall Street investment bankster: Greed is good! Boesky was later convicted of By Ed insider trading and traded Wall Street for Raymond Prison Avenue and a comfortable cell. After 30 years of this relentless glacier of greed we have the greatest income inequality in the history of the modern world. The American middle class has not had a raise in almost those thirty years, and thus has been destroyed as the balancing power. A strong middle class is the core of a democracy. A strong middle class keeps the rich and poor in check. Now we have 8,000 hedge funds in the United States controlled by speculators, gamblers, and Wall street banksters hedging their bets to ensure they stay on top. Mitt Romney, the millionaire who never paid more than 14 percent federal income tax, is now building his sixth McMansion in Utah, as an example. The highest paid hedge fund manager in the United States made $3 million an hour in 2012, with many alsoran managers way down on the list to $1 million an hour. Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman living in a rotting, desiccated Detroit suburb has lost her transportation to her minimum wage job at $7.25 an hour that is two hours away. The city of Detroit can no longer afford to keep city buses running. DetroitThe Incredible Shrinking City Anyone who believes that our economy and the middle class are recovering should review Detropia, the PBS special about the economic woes of Detroit, once the capital and capitol city of the middle class. Once the fastest growing city in the entire world, it is now the fastest-

It was a Sunday afternoon, wet and cheerless; and a duller spectacle this earth of ours has not to show than a rainy Sunday in London. Thomas de Quincey

Cities were also the location of Montgomery Ward and Sears and Roebuck which served the mail-order needs of the more remote western regions. Not that many years ago Minneapolis had at least one very large tack shop downtown on Hennepin Ave. with a full range of horse and rider working paraphernalia. When I moved to the Twin Cities in 1960, it seemed reasonable to say that there was where the West began. In those days Minneapolis was not that much of a big city. The southern border of the metropolitan area ended at about Minnehaha Creek, and after that there were only a couple of lumber yards and farmland. Exotic dining was limited to Italian and Cantonese cuisines. Twin Citians tended to not appreciate my opinion that they lived in something of a western town. Of course, all of that has since changed.
Now I would say that the West starts somewhere just this side of West Fargo, probably at Exit 342. I knew, of course, that there was something of a cowboy culture in Valley City. Playing Cowboys and Indians was common. Several kids my By Dennis age could twirl lariats Stillings and wore clothes that were, at least in part, of western fashion. Almost everyone I knew had an interest in guns and hunting. Country Western music was highly popular. And we went to the rodeo every year. There have been old-fashioned train robberies and bootlegging shoot-outs in this area, and at one time Valley City had the reputation of being a wide-open whiskey town.
In 1882, a homesteader trundles up Fifth Ave. (Central Ave.) past the newly-completed Kindred Hotel. A large sign advertising Baths a much appreciated luxury at the time hangs at the entrance to the hotel. In the late 1940s the Kindred was razed to make way for the new MUSEUM: 14 Straus Building.

Clark came to Valley City. As he sat in the Sherman House hotel, he heard a sound that perhaps changed his life. At this harness shop he found Olaf Rushfelt blowing his cornet. Rushfelt introduced D. W. Clark to other local instrumentalists and Clark went on to organize the first Valley City band. RIGHT: Looking east on Main Street Valley City in the 1890s. Dakota Drug is on the immediate right. The building just across the street a furniture store burned down in 1909 and was replaced by the American National Bank. Next door was a dressmakers and a grocery store.

The ransacking of the Times-Record in 1889 as a result of the papers stance against local liquor interests also added to a classic picture of Valley City not only as part of the Old West, but the Wild West as well. Now, after digging around in the splendid photographic archives of the Barnes County Historical Museum, it is clear to me that, at least for a time, Valley City was about as Old West as they come and there are many photographs that illustrate that. A few of choice ones are reproduced here.

of luck to boot. The first challenge was our boat. Wed had no problem swinging one- and two-pound walleyes over the railing of the platform in By Nick the past few sumSimonson mers. But no one had tangled with a fish so large from the family cruiser before. The elevated deck seat, the railing around the boat, and the outboard off the back all presented challenges to fighting the fish. But as my wife, Angie took over the wheel for Adam as he began the battle, he moved nimbly from lounger to seat to the rear of the boat, keeping the rod tip high and adjusting his drag. When the fish breached the surface and shook the minnow loose from the spinner hanging in the corner of its mouth, I was afraid he had lost it. But the rod was redoubled with another run and the reel screamed out its respect as Adam coolly played along. With the jump, I was able to see the live bait harness pinned in the corner
of the fishs mouth. The spinner blade jerked and jangled like some flashy earring and the gold beads twinkled in the afternoon sunlight. Luck was on Adams side as well, with the top hook of the rig buried in the only place the line could not be cut by the rows of razor-like teeth square in the small pocket of flesh at the intersection of the monsters jaws. Continuing to keep his rod tip high and let the fish make its moves, he was able to follow it around the boat without putting too much stress on the weaker terminal tackle. I had little concern with the new spool of Fireline on his reel, and trusted it would hold. The fish spun from side to side, but for the most part, stayed close to the boat. Surprisingly, the fish helped us overcome the third challenge, by keeping Adam Sersha of Eveleth, Minn., hoists up his runs short and not straying too far away. As it came in for a second time, first of two muskies in a five minute span to take I decided to make an attempt to land his walleye spinner and minnow combo. it in the medium-sized net, hoping that if I could just get the muskies head in, I could grab the tail or somehow leverage its body up.

local long-time resident of VC who recently visited Page, N.D., informed me that the residents and farmers living near that town had already come up with a solution to the small town movie theater problem by setting up their own showings using up-to-date digital equipment that allows them to show the first-run movies, or close, now distributed on digital disks. I have not checked yet to see if they are operating only on weekends or if they are using an actual movie theater or setting? A weekend theater might be viable here, but I still believe a seven-day-a-
week theater in Valley City, based on the attendance during the week and often on weekends, would not be advantageous to private investors. Plus obtaining the new equipment. Someone with the city or perhaps the EDC should contact Page on an official basis and find out what their solution was and what it cost. I doubt if I could obtain this information. When I mentioned the Page model to a local businessman and mentioned my doubts as to whether another movie theater here could prove profitable or even break even for anyone here, I was told I was being too negative, and that indeed someone was considering doing so! Really! Let us hope that is true just like the prospects on McDonalds and other
rumored business projects. If so, they will have to be supported or it will be a short-term venture. I long ago lost all faith in the old saying, all things come to him who waits. Valley City has been waiting too long for too many things or even word that they are NOT going to happen. That being said, I do congratulate the investors in the Straus building (the word Mall is perhaps outdated for that corner now as it says only Straus) for their efforts in making the center building of downtown VC look presentable again, and being recognized by the Chamber of Commerce -just in time for the upcoming Rally in the Valley days and the 50s reunions.

Start with fresh pizza dough, such as Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Crust. Roll it out, grill for a golden crisp crust, and top it just the way you want it. Opt for a classic choice like mozzarella and tomatoes, or get innovative with a taco pizza or a BBQ chicken pizza. Its faster than takeout, done your way and doesnt leave a mess to clean up. If you are serving traditional BBQ, go beyond boring buns and try something unique, such as grilling biscuits

As the North Dakota tax commissioner at the time, I was desigBy Lloyd nated to represent Governor Guy. Omdahl At this first meeting, Chairperson Romney outlined his plan. We thought he had a pretty good package, with the states sharing the money on a per capita basis. At our second meeting several weeks later, the word of our planning had circulated in Washington. When we convened, we found that we had guests from the National League of Cities. They presented a strong argument for being included. After all, the urban areas had the biggest problems. They also had political clout and would not support our plan unless they were cut into the deal. Realizing the politics of the situation, we decided that we could not afford to alienate this powerful group. So we took them in. (When push came to shove, it was the League that muscled Congress into passing the plan.) Then at the third meeting some weeks later, we had more company. Representatives from the National Association of Counties appeared, arguing that they had urban counties deserving consideration. Furthermore, there were urban townships that were strapped for cash. So we broadened the coalition some more. Everybody was in the boat. While we were developing a position for the next National Governors Conference, members of Congress were concocting a wide range of schemes.

against a group of oil companies. Tim Purdon, whose appointment from the Democrat power structure to the Justice Department was unprecedented as far By Rob as this observer can tell, Port definitely brought his politics with him to his new job. One of Mr. Purdons first priorities as US Attorney for North Dakota was to file criminal charges against six oil companies under the Migratory Birds Treaty Act after roughly two dozen dead birds found near their production areas. This was the result of a months-long investigation by the Fish and Wildlife Service. That Purdons charges, filed in August of 2011, were a waste of federal resources was obvious from the start.

given day resulting from collisions with motor vehicles than Purdon and his investigators were able to find at oil sites in the state after months of searching. If accidentally killing a duck is a federal crime, then anyone who has ever pried one from the grill of their car is a criminal. But Purdons attempted prosecutions which were laughed out of federal court months after they were filed - werent just misguided. They were thoroughly political too, because even as Purdon attempted to prosecute oil companies for a few dead ducks, wind power companies that are slaughtering birds wholesale are not only avoiding prosecution but getting special permission from the federal government to kill those birds. The Obama administration has charged oil companies for drowning birds in their waste pits, and power companies for electrocuting birds on power lines, reported the Associated Press last month. But the administration has never fined or pros-
ecuted a wind-energy company, even those that flout the law repeatedly. If the double standard werent clear enough in action, consider these words from former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service enforcement agent Tim Eicher, also quoted by the Associated Press: What it boils down to is this: If you electrocute an eagle, that is bad, but if you chop it to pieces, that is OK. The Obama administration is applying a thoroughly political double standard to these companies. We can debate about whether or not existing federal laws protecting waterfowl and other birds is appropriate as written - this humble observer feels they are far too broad - but that doesnt give government officials latitude to change how the law is enforced based on who theyre enforcing it against. That doesnt meet the standards weve set for ourselves, as a society, when it comes to

by van Gogh and Matisse as assets so they can be sold in case the city does go bankrupt. At least one art critic thinks the Institute has a billion dollars worth of art that can be sold. The Other Side Of The Art World At Christies Latest Art Auction Meanwhile, in Wall Street-rich New York City, the recent postwar and contemporary art sale at Christies in Rockefeller Center set a world record of $495 million for an art auction. Big art collectors from all over the country, most of them hedge fund owners and managers, had a great time bidding on 66 works that went for the $495 million. The biggest money went for Jackson Pollacks No. 19, 1948, a drip painting made by Pollack standing on a ladder and dripping various globs of paint on a canvas spread on the floor. Artists say Pollack delicately dripped different colors of paint from high. I have seen pictures of the painting. To me it looks like a painters drop cloth that should have been discarded years ago. Delicate droppings? My ass! I think one could duplicate it by placing six rats in a cage over canvas, and feed them something that gives them chronic diarrhea to get them to paint delicately. Different foods could provide you with vibrant colors. But my favorite paintings are by Andrew Wyeth and Norman Rockwell. What do I know? Anyway, No. 19 went for $58.3 million to top the market, with four bidders fighting for it. Twenty years ago it sold for $2.4 million. A close second was Lichtensteins Woman With a Flowered Hat going for $56.1 million, bought by Ronald Perelman, a New York investor. Lichtensteins Nude with Yellow Flower was evidently a steal at $23.6 million. While all this money is flowing like Niagara around Wall Street, it is painful to remind these billionaires that a baby born in the great manufacturing state of Ohio has now less of a chance of living at birth to six weeks than a baby born in North Korea or the Gaza Strip. Stuff happens when mother and baby have no access to health care. And that Ohio woman with the baby? If she was born in 1990 and did not graduate from high school in 2008, she will live five fewer years than someone who graduated in the same year. Joblessness, poor nutrition, and lack of health care will take its toll. Those who think the economy is
getting better because the stock market is rising will get a bucket of cold water in the face if they read James Surowiecki in The May 27 New Yorker. He says its the rich exchanging money because they have so much money they have run out of places to invest it. His point is that ordinary little stock owners dumped stock in 2008 during the recession and refuse to go back in. So, actually only the rich own substantial stocks! Less than half of the people own stocks and most have just a dribble. One out of six Americans live in poverty, but over half have no assets. The bottom 50 percent averages $18,000 per year. The average household in the bottom 75 percent earns about $31,000 per year. That means that nearly 75 percent of Americans live in poverty. The twenty richest Americans could pay for all of the food stamps going to 47 million people. Wine And Roast Beef In Minnetonka, Kool-Aid And Spaghetti In Anoka Minnetonka, Eden Praire, Columbia Heights, And Coon Rapids are all ghettos in the metro area, they just have different folks living in them. These suburbs were prominently mentioned in a three-day series in the Star Tribune about the haves and have-nots in high school athletics in the metro area. The wealthy suburban public and private schools are dominating all phases of athletics because of money, booster clubs, equipment, uniforms, coaching, fields, diamonds, arenas, gyms, and everything else associated with athletics. At Eden Praire, one of the affluent powers in Minnesota high school athletics, corporate sponsors such as Wal-Mart, Culvers, Edward Jones Investments, and the Hazeltine National Golf Club provide millions of dollars worth of buildings and equipment. The Coon Rapids Booster Club is supported by a family restaurant, a small meat store, and a gas station. Coon Rapids recently bought Stillwater High Schools used football helmets. I hope they all passed the safety and smell tests. Hockey is a great Minnesota sport but equipment, travel, uniforms, arenas, and ice time cost large buckets of money. Private high schools cannot only recruit good players who have been to numerous hockey camps, they also attract rich donors who

So, they start talking about it and then everyone wants in on it and well Great marketing dont you think? The demand for fresh, local produce has grown. Everyone should eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. I have been working to get people to eat more fresh local grown food for about five years now. So, why would I have a problem with Bountiful Baskets? The problem with this cooperative system is
derstand that this is not local food. We work with young farmers trying to make a living buy growing local produce and this is not the best thing for the local economy. First off, the trucks come from Mexico and Arizona, or maybe even other places. You have to unpack and box your shares. Frankly, I bought an organic box and it was stale. The radishes tasted like cardboard and the lettuce was not edible. At least not by my standards. That means that stuff had to have been in those boxes for a long time. At first glance it seemed like a good deal. But the tomatoes were still hard-asa-rock and flavorless So what am I getting for all the frenzy? Im getting a box of produce, shipped from who knows where that could potentially be sprayed with
chemicals that are illegal in this country and not in other countries. I dont recall the USDA certified organic sticker on anything -- hmmm what does that mean? Not to mention, we are coming up on farmer market season. I have been told that Bountiful Baskets has replaced shopping at farmers markets in smaller communities and therefore the farmers markets close. So what happens when gas continues to rise in price and the truck no longer delivers Bountiful Baskets of veggies and fruits from who know where? Well, you will all look to your farmers markets for fresh fruits and vegetables and guess what... They will not be there. Just some free-range thinking for you to consider before supporting an out-of-state operation, not matter how wonderfuul it appears.

build practice and game arenas. In the past 14 years large and small private schools with tuition around $10,000 a year and up have won 16 of the 28 hockey championships. The big gaps started to appear in the 1990s. Some booster clubs and schools raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for all sports. Como Park High School, in contrast, has a booster club held together by four parents who raised $4,600 spread over all Como Park teams last year. The Minnetonka baseball team is playing on a diamond that cost the schools booster club $4.4 million. The booster club raised money at a lakeshore restaurant fundraiser featuring a silent auction which included a weeks vacation in Hawaii, a pheasant hunt in South Dakota, a cultured pearl necklace, and a spa day sponsored by a Lexus dealership. Meanwhile the Anoka football team ended a poor season by having a paper-plate spaghetti dinner in the school cafeteria. Anoka, the largest school district in Minnesota, has won 22 state titles in the distant pastbut just three since 1994.

Wayzata, another Minnesota powerhouse in athletics, raised $372,000 for high school sports in 2012 through the Wayzata Booster Club. The club also collected $320,000 for a digital scoreboard for the football field. It rivals many college scoreboards. South St. Paul High School has raised $500,000over a period of 38 years. It currently has $39,000 in assets. The Orono High School Hockey Boosters raised $402,000 last year. Eden Praire High School has four basketball coaches paid by the district. Three others are paid by the booster club. Private schools won three of the four championships in basketballDeLaSalle in 3A, Minnehaha Academy in 2A, and Minnesota Christian in 1A. Wealthy donors just completed a $4.4 million hockey arena for St. Thomas Academy, which won its third straight 1A hockey title this year. As a matter of fact, this report reveals there are fewer and fewer middle class high schools within the state. Perhaps public and private schools should schedule each other based on outside income per student. The evidence indicates income inequality is becoming the most important element in school sports. Politicians know the answer to thisbut wont act.

I gently set the net in the water, keeping it as parallel to the surface as I could. The fish swam toward the silver rim of the landing net, and its head was soon in the center of it. As I pulled up on the net, a small miracle occurred. The muskie must have sensed something was amiss and curled its body to make a powerful run. As it did, its tail cleared the rim and I was able to cram 46 inches of fish into a net with an opening of about 30 inches in diameter. Together, Adam and I hoisted the net into the boat and with the twist of the pliers the hook was loose. It all came together so well. Adams adjustment to his surroundings and to the might of the fish proved once again that a good hookset, proper rod positioning and drag management could land any fish, even on undersized tackle. A little bit of luck with the landing made me look like a pro, even though I nervously anticipated a tough net job. With a quick photo, the fish was off. She was bruised from the spawn and a little tired from the fight, but bolted after just a second in the water. We traded high fives, checked out the pictures on Angies camera and set up once again on our cruising route down the bay. With the lessons learned successfully, Adam would repeat the process again, just five minutes later with yet another muskie. A second bolt of lightning bottled up, in the same manner a solid hookset, good rod positioning, and proper drag management all paid off in a quick fight, a clean release and an afternoon to rememberin our outdoors.

onestly, that topic may be at the top of the list at the beginning of every summer, but this year Im particularly excited to fish more because of the abundance of fishing waters in North Dakota. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is counting about 400 managed fisheries in the state By this summer. While Doug Leier thats not a lot compared to some states, its the most that North Dakota has ever had. And its not just quantity either. Fish populations in many of these waters are doing well, and its not out of line to say that fishing in North Dakota may well be as good as its ever been. Weve got water and fish, and we just might be living in the good ol days of fishing. So the point is, now more than ever, The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is counting about to get out and enjoy the resource and 400 managed fisheries in the state this summer. While thats not opportunities. a lot compared to some states, its the most that North Dakota LEIER: 25 has ever had. Fishing are Kaitlyn Leier and Grace Leier.
