VCSU freshmen to harvest squash for food bank
THIS IS VALLEY CITY
s part of their Learning to Live/Living to Learn common course, the entire freshman class of Valley City State University harvested squash yesterday for distribution by the Great Plains Food Bank. The harvest will take place on the farm of Dan Faust a few miles northwest of Valley City. Faust, a retired Lutheran pastor, grows the buttercup squash specifically for the Great Plains Food Bank, part of Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota. The VCSU freshmen and their Learning to Live mentors, numbering about 200,
are bused from campus to the farm, where they work in groups to deposit the picked squash in crates. The crates of squash are then loaded by forklift into semi-trailers used by Great Plains Food Bank for distribution to more than 270 charitable feeding programsshelters, soup kitchens and pantriesoperating in nearly 100 communities throughout North Dakota. In a previous harvest, VCSU students were able to pick more than 50,000 pounds of squash in a few hours

Will the affordable health V care act affect you?

09.27.13 the independent
ance is if that person is incarcerated. So, you will either require proof from your insurance company that you either bought on your own, or that you have through work, or that you purchase through one of the new online health exchanges. its my understanding that if you are insured privately, you will get something from your insurance company that showed that you purchase insurance. If youre insured through work, that will show up on your W-2. So thats what you need to bring in to your tax preparer, said Hudoba. North Dakotas is not online yet and wont be until October 1. However, people can get an idea of what the North Dakota health care exchange might look like by going to the MNsure home page. Minnesota is piggybacking its exchange with its Minnesota Care health plan. If a person opts to select a coverage plan from one of the exchanges, then a person might be able to buy subsidized health insurance. That of course, is determined by your income. Hudoba says that normally it would be based on your 2012 income tax form. But, what people may not know, according to her, is that you may be eligible for a subsidy if your income went down, or up, during the year. Otherwise youre going to end up with a situation where somebody got a subsidy and their income really didnt support it, because their income is a lot higher, said Hudoba. The subsidies can range from 250 percent to 400 percent of the poverty level. If youre currently doing some planning, you might look at the MN sure site. There is an important thing about the exchanges to remember in an area where people live and work in different states. You have to use the exchange that services the state where your primary residence is. If you work in Minnesota, but dont live there you cant use the MN sure site. North Dakota is not setting up its own exchange and will use the federal exchange that goes live for the first time on October 1. So, if you live in North Dakota and want to get an idea of what the exchange may look like, you can probably get a good idea from the MN sure site, but you will have to use the federal site But says Hudoba, you might have to pay money back if you report your income erroneously and get a subsidy for your health insurance. But, said Hudoba, Since the coverage starts on January of 2014,

he Affordable Care Act, mostly known in the news media and to everyone else as Obamacare will be coming in October. That is almost certainly an inevitability. People will be able to sign up and pay for health insurance if they dont have it already through their place of work, or because of some other circumstance. The big difference this time is that, like car insurance, everyone will be required to have it. Also, everyone will be required to prove that they have it. Where they will prove that they have it is on their tax forms. According to Nancy Hudoba, a Tax Advisor, for the H and R Block Tax office in Fargo, a major change to your tax forms is that you will need proof to report that you have health insurance on your tax forms. This is how the government will enforce getting people to have health insurance. If they dont have it, then they have to pay the penalty. Some people have concerns about what sort of information goes to the Department of Health and Human Services which administers the bulk of the Affordable Care Act. Huda says its her YOUR understanding that the all of the information on the tax forms does not go the Department of Health and Human Services, All the do is verify with the IRS. So, that would mean that the Department of Health and Human Services would just verify with the IRS that people have insurance like they are supposed to and that they are reporting accurate information for the subsidies. Interestingly enough, one of the exempted classes for not having to buy the insur-
alley City State University has released its final enrollment figures for Fall Semester 2013, showing a total headcount of 1,366 students. The total includes 1,211 undergraduate students, along with 155 graduate students in VCSUs online Master of Education (M.Ed.) program. The enrollment figure is a four-student increase over the corresponding Fall Semester 2012 enrollment number. VCSU enrollment reached all-time high in 2011; since then enrollment has remained relatively stable, with the Fall 2013 numbers reaching the third highest total in the universitys 120-plus year history. VCSUs FTE (full-time equivalent) enrollment of 975 students for Fall 2013 represents one of the universitys highest totals ever, while the Fall 2013 graduate school FTE enrollment of 57 is the second highest total ever for the VCSU M.Ed. program. A positive sign along with the enrollment numbers is an increase in residence hall occupancy in Fall 2013; those numbers increased 10.9 percent over Fall 2012 figures.

alley City States offense continued to rack up yards and points Saturday night, and the result was another big win. The Vikings defeated Trinity Bible College 66-6 in a night game at Shelly Ellig Field. Valley City State improves to 3-1 overall. Trinity Bible drops to 1-3.

he church in Corinth was full of troubles. There were problems with divisions, false teaching, and immorality. But before the Apostle Paul gets to speaking about any of those issues he begins by telling the Corinthians that he was giving thanks to God for them. Before he would try to shake them out of their sin he wanted to make clear that he was doing so out of a genuine care and concern for their souls. In 1 Corinthians 1:4 Paul writes, I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus. Now, Paul By The Rev. is not writing to butter up or flatter Dennis Norby the Galatians but to give thanks to God. He is not writing this to soften the blow either. If you would like, take some time to read the rest of 1 Corinthians, Paul doesnt beat around the bush when he brings to light the sins in their midst. So Paul is writing to a bunch of messed up sinners in a messed up church. What does he have to be thankful for? He is thankful for the Word of God that had been preached in their midst. He was thankful for the grace of God that had been given to the people of Corinth. Paul was not thankful for the sin, or division, or the other problems but was thankful that Jesus Christ had revealed Himself to them and continued to supply to them what they need. Forgiveness.

Life Chain event open to the public

Valley City Right to Life invites area residents to join the Life Chain to be held along West Main Street in Valley City from 2:30 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 Life Chain is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing for one hour praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception. The international organizers of this event are expecting about 1,500 Life Chains to occupy public sidewalks in North American cities and towns. Life Chain welcomes everyone who believes human life is sacred and will defend it peacefully.With firm commitment to the sanctity of human life, participants

I dont want to discourage anyone, but our churches more closely resemble the church of Corinth than we would like to admit. There is division in congregations over petty matters and bitterness over ways in which we have felt slighted. There is a tendency to try to ignore problems that lead to the wounds festering and hurting all the more. The fellowship that we should find in the church is often spurned or treated with indifference. We often see a great neglect of the truth of Gods Word and a replacement with the ideas and philosophies of men. These things are not to be excused but to be repented of. This sad list should not surprise us because the sinful hearts of people are still the same as they have always been. We continue to need the grace and mercy of God that Paul said was given to the people in Corinth. How might Gods grace and mercy come to us? In the person of Jesus Christ sent by the Father. We will certainly stumble about in this life (even as Christians) but our God is always faithful. It is God who comes to our aid, it is God who gives us life, it is God who sustains us, it is God who calls us to be united to Him. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:9, God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Museum website: www.enderlinmuseum. org This weeks article was also found in the September 9, 1915, issue of The Enderlin Independent. This is for all my Alice readers! ************ A THRIVING VILLAGE -----------Last Tuesday the writer made a visit to our hustling little sister village of Alice and found that burg doing a thriving business. Threshing was well along in that vicinity and the merchants were beginning to feel the impulse of the new crop. We found Mr. A. L. Bayley still at the helm of the State Bank and as usual boosting the country and the Alice farmers, whom he says are the most independent people in the state of North Dakota. He doesnt care what Meyer or Nelson or anybody else says, the farmers in his vicinity can just about demand what they want without dictation from anyone. He says any farmer within ten miles of Alice can come into his bank and By Susan spit on the wall and demand Schlecht a thousand dollars - and get it, too, at 6 per cent. Because if he wont give it to them he knows that any one of a half dozen neighboring banks will be only too glad to get their business. Our old friend Frank Salzwedel is doing a fine hardware business at the old stand and selling splendid goods at fair prices. Mr. John Wellentin, successor to his father in the pioneer store of the village, was out gunning for chickens - and getting some ducks, but the efficient clerk was busy and the store had a general appearance of thrift.

fter several years of writing historical columns for local newspapers, I have become aware of a lack of information and photographs relating to the history of certain places in and around Valley City. I have, for instance, only one promotional postcard photograph of the old swimming pool. I have just one of Valley Hide & Fur (one I took myself), and not a single photo of the old rendering plant (I can guess why.) Photographs of the following subjects are also scarce: The 21 Club The shanty town that used to exist north of town just east of the 21 Club Neighborhood grocery stores Several old cafs and gas stations Business interiors Historic sports photos Old iron bridges between Valley City and Kathryn The iron bridge that used to be on Viking Drive Iron and timber bridges between Valley City and Baldhill Dam Photos of skiers both on Sugarloaf and at the previous site west of town Old golf course photos and history Old creameries California Fruit Store The old Dairy Queen as it was in the 50s Sports facilities photos The area of the old horse barns on the hill south of town Faust Dam shortly after it was built The old concrete hatbox

onations have been generous within the community and the Erma Overby Public Health Nursing Scholarship is only $2500 from reaching the goal of $10,500. The scholarship will be established at Valley City State University, ideally before January 2014. The scholarship will provide $500 annually to a student who is enrolled either in the LPN or the RN program at Valley City State University. Nurses are in short supply both in public health and in clinical areas. Right now the hospital, Sanford Health and the City County Health District (CCHD) are all in need of nurses, states Theresa Will, RN, and director of the CCHD and a member of the committee establishing the scholarship. Eileen Maresh, another scholarship member remembers what Erma did for Barnes County and comments on why a scholarship should be named after Erma. Erma recognized the need for home nursing care, which had not been done in Barnes County before. Erma had a passion for helping people, doing home visits on a volunteer basis even after shed retired as the director of the CCHD. Erma knew what public health really meansto improve the health and quality of life through the
prevention of disease, commented Sharon Buhr the third person working to establish this scholarship. She began the work with students in school and established the CCHD as the school nurse for VCPS. And she worked with adult members of the county as well as students to promote healthy behaviors. We want to honor Erma,
continues Buhr, while at the same time helping our community through training more nurses, who are very definitely needed here in Valley City. All donations for this scholarship will give the donor an income tax credit, whether it is a $20 or $200 gift. And thanks to a tax credit made possible by the North Dakota lawmakers
this past session, a charitable gift such as one to this nursing scholarship fund can cost less and do more than ever before. For more information call 701-845-8518. Donations can be sent to the VCSU Foundation: Attn. Overby Public Health Scholarship, at VCSU, 101 College Street SW, Valley City, ND 58072.
he Enderlin Museum was a busy place during SunFest hosting many visitors and researchers. Among those visiting the Museum was Lyle Fritz of Fargo who came to check on the remake of the Fritz Truck Line display, which the family funded. To prevent further deterioration of the original display, the old photos were scanned and reprinted along with the history of the Truck Line. The business was started by Lyles grandfather, Richard Fritz, and later owned by Ray and Vi Fritz and then, more recently, by Lyle. The business was one of Enderlins pioneer businesses hauling freight and ice by horse and wagon before motorized vehicles became common. The four-sided display tells the complete history of the business along with many historic photos.

ith all the archery deer hunting activity and the coming spike with deer gun season, its a good time to remind hunters ofspecific regulations on transporting deer and other big game. Keep in mind, these are specific to North Dakota and with the mobility of hunters taking the fields in other states, you need to check closely in all states in which you hunt or travel through on your way to and from destinations.

If the deer is processed in the field to boned meat, and the hunter wants to leave the head in the field, the head must be legally tagged and the hunter must be able to return to, or give the exact location of the head if requested for verification. In an effort to further reduce the risk of CWD spreading to new area, Game and Fish has prohibited hunting big game over bait in all of deer units 3E1, 3E2, 3F1 and 3F2; and also the portion of unit 3C west of the Missouri River. Hunters who go out of state are prohibited from transporting back into North Dakota the whole carcass, or certain carcass parts, of deer, elk, moose or other members of the cervid family from areas within states and provinces with documented occurrences of CWD in wild

I am assuming that the chickens were prairie chickens and you may wish to look up the word Nimrods! The Museum has the Alice History Book available for anyone trying to do research in that area. The book contains a lot of pictures of early businesses, old-timers, houses and farmsteads as well as family histories. By the time you read this, SunFest 2013 will also be history! Thank you to everyone who stopped in to view the many new displays and newly-acquired artifacts. The Historical Society has begun a new fundraiser to purchase and install a dehumidifying and air conditioning system to aid in preserving the artifacts. Museum professionals recommend such a system for the long-term care of artifacts and, since half of our Museum is sub-ground level, the humidity level remains much too high for most items.

on. This had apparently been discussed in detail with the commission prior to the taped public meeting so no questions were forthcoming from the commission members present. Nor was there any discussion from the small audience present before the unanimous vote to approve the budget. It was pointed out, as I understood it, that there had been no increase requested from the previous year and in fact may have been a small amount smaller! Very small. This appeared to be a good By Lowell thing! Busching However, much to my surprise a prominent citizen, who has done a lot of excellent work on many projects in this city and county, both for the C of C, the EDC and other entities, did speak up indicating this fact may not have been as rosy as it appeared! He pointed out, correctly I think, that due to there no increases in the budget, at least in part due to no increases in revenue from property taxes, that getting any money for new projects or to pay to repair items like city parking lots etc. was hard, if not impossible, to come by. It is very difficult for the city to hold its own, much less fix or improve its infrastructure. This came as a big surprise to me as I had perceived that, the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and Chamberof Commercehad merely to ask the commission for permission to spend the money allotted to them from the sales tax for anything from $5,000 grants to multi-million dollar buildings. Even if the buildings often set virtually unused for years like the High Tech center currently. Who pays the upkeep? This same individual then reminded the City Commission that a good part of the reason for lack of funding on some projects was due to the fact that approximately 42 percent of the property in Valley City is tax exempt at any one time! I believe it has been thus for many years now. This was confirmed by members of the city commission. It has to be difficult to fund and run a city with almost half of the city not paying property tax. I can imagine that it would be more so if the initiative to abolish property tax had succeeded! Of course it is always pointed out by the commissions that these exemptions for the most part are only for periods of five years or so as incentives to get people to invest in new businesses and buildings. Eventually their time will run its course and they will be added to the tax roles. They may not have existed without the exemptions. Some are on state property and will probably at best pay the volunteer token amounts as is happening now for

or weeks now weve been hearing that the situation in Leith, where locals are understandably perturbed at the prospect of a takeover of their community By Rob by real life Port nazis, is going to escalate into a town hall session wherein the nazis would plot their route to move in and taking over the local government. And, as promised, the nazis followed through. They organized a town hall this past Sunday. What will come of said organization remains to be seen. Something else happened Sunday. A group called UnitedND organized a protest and got hundreds of North Dakotans to travel to rural Leith to try and shout down hatred. I watched the event courtesy of a live web stream made available by UnitedND. It went about
Nazis getting what they want
OPINION: ROB PORT
as you would expect with lots of denunciations, some eloquent and others quite crude. I admire what the folks at UnityND did in organizing a social media and in-person response to the nazis, but in a way I think theyre helping those they oppose more than they would like to realize. I cant help but feel as though the best response to the nazi town hall would have been no response at all. It has to be cathartic to show up and scream at nazis. To call them names, mock their movement and denounce their bigoted ideology. Ill bet that feels good, particularly for the large Native American contingent on hand who know a thing or two about racism. Nazis, after all, are easy targets. What does it accomplish, though? Very little, as the right of these nazis to organize, hold meetings and purchase property is as sacrosanct as it is for any
of the rest of us. Protesting isnt going to stop them. In fact, protesting gives them the one thing they need desperately from outside of their movement, and thats attention. These creeps live on the margins. Their ideas find few adherents, and not-so-fertile ground in an America that has done a lot of growing up since the Civil Rights era. They have very little political and social clout. Except when they are given attention from outside of their movement, that is. They accomplish this by causing a stir. By doing and saying controversial things that fire up the public, and draw media attention. The situation in Leith has probably garnered more attention for the National Socialist Movement in the past few weeks than that group has received in the past decade (if its even been around that long). But maybe, now, enough is enough.

he farm bill is being held up in Congress by a controversy over food stamps. Some legislators think that this welfare program has gotten out of hand. Before we delve into the details, let us arrive at some sort of definition for welfare. It would seem to me that welfare is receiving a government benefit, in cash or in kind, for which we have not paid. Food stamps are welfare because the recipients have not paid for them. They are a government handout, pure and simple. But the other half of the farm bill includes welfare for farmers. In the case of agriculture, we dont call this welfare. Safety net sounds better, especially for people who abhor welfare. Even the sugar beet growers get welfare. With an influx of Mexican sugar, the government will buy up sugar to support the price for domestic producers. Ordinarily, sugar beet welfare comes indirectly, with the government using import restrictions so that consumers can subsidize beet growers with higher prices in the store. Then we have Medicare, one of the biggest welfare programs in history. Our premiums pay only one-third of the cost
It looks like we are all on welfare

of medical services. If we have a hip or knee replacement to the tune of $40,000, somebody else will pay $25,000 for it. Thats welfare. And we are not one By Lloyd bit embarrassed about it. Omdahl Recent polls show that 64 percent of the folks over 65 want to keep Medicare just as it is, even if it is contributing significantly to the federal deficit. Medicaid is a welfare program that pays the cost of nursing home care for the destitute .Over half of the patients in North Dakota nursing homes are on Medicaid at an annual cost to taxpayers of around $75,000. And some of them became eligible by making themselves poor by transferring their worldly goods to relatives. Many family members of those getting this welfare in nursing homes often point at other welfare programs as disgusting and indefensible. Investors get indirect welfare through a special tax break on capital gains. Thats what billionaire Warren Buffet was talking about when he said his secretary paid more

sorer arm at the injection site, or body aches. However, the majority of those who receive this vaccine dont experience any problems. It takes about two weeks for protection to develop after the vaccination. Protection lasts about a year according to the most recent CDC research. For this reason, healthcare professionals now urge people to be immunized as soon as vaccine becomes available, and not necessarily wait until later in the year, as was common practice as recently as 2008. The City-County Health staff welcomes people on a walk-in basis Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Barnes County Courthouse. Please bring any health insurance cards with you. City-County Health can bill Medicaid, Medicare Part B, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medica and Sanford Health plans for adults. We can bill to any insurance company for children. Some people think that they dont need a seasonal flu immunization since they have never had the flu. But its too late to be protected once youve been exposed to the virus. And please remember, by being immunized you are also protecting vulnerable people within our community who cant be immunized. Be proactive get immunized to protect yourself and the people around you.

For his performance Jenkinson will first portray Jefferson, discussing some of the self-evident truths on which the Declaration of Independence is based. Perhaps Jefferson will explain the reasons why Americans first began to think of independence from England, what independence would mean, and why Americans thought separation was necessary. After his portrayal, Jenkinson will take questions from the audience and answer them as Jefferson might have. Then Jenkinson will discuss his own presentation as himself. One point of discussion that still occurs when these topics are mentioned is how the meanings of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution can be interpreted today, whether changing conditions alter the meaning of those famous documents. Jenkinson, a Bismarck resident, is a nationally known author and social commentator, heard weekly on The Thomas Jefferson Hour on Public Broadcasting. In addition, Jenkinson has made thousands of presentations throughout the United States. The Clay Jenkinson/Thomas Jefferson program is sponsored by Valley City State University, Valley City Public Schools, What in the World Is Going On and the Barnes County Historical Society. What in the World Is Going On is a campus/community organization that has sponsored programs about local, national, and international issues of importance since 2001. The program is free and open to the public. For more information call 701-845-7321.
Zephyr is a relative newcomer about the same size as the crookneck, but with a sturdy straight neck and a green bottom. It is a hybrid, with one parent being the yellow crookneck and the other a mixture of Delicata and Yellow Acorn, and delicious. Lebanese Zucchini (also called Middle Eastern or Zahra) is shorter and plumper than regular zucchini, with an extremely delicate pale-jade skin. Its almost impossible to get one without nicks and scratches, but dont let those surface defects dissuade you from tasting the meltingly creamy flesh within.

nothing will happen on the tax form until spring of 2015. The only thing that people know for sure at this point is that the Affordable Care Act will be the law and that people will be required to carry health insurance of some kind or pay the penalty for not doing so. The intricacies of the law and how it all works out for a persons coverage, or even how it will all play out on your tax forms is still unknown at this point. You can always look up an insurance agent, or even a tax adviser to find out how that all might work out for in your case.

Maybe its time to stop playing these haters game. Its time to live and let live, and let their hatred ooze back under the rock this media attention has turned over. Ask yourself this: Which would have been a more effective message to these bigots today? The hundreds of protesters and dozens of reporters who showed up to cover the proceedings, or nothing? Im saying nothing. Because maybe the best response to intolerance is tolerance. The fundamental conceit of the Leith nazis is that even as they stand on their rights, even as they invoke the 1st amendment and other legal protections which are in place to ensure tolerance, they preach a virulent strain of intolerance. Sadly, the response is often intolerance for their intolerance, which was something that was on display from many of the speakers at Sundays rally. If North Dakotans want the Leith nazis to go away, the best way to do that is to ignore them. Because the nazis are like childrens. When they know their behavior is getting a reaction, when they know their antics are winding us up, theyll just keep doing them and then basking in the notoriety it brings them.

Learn how to tie a pheasant tail trio

OUR OUTDOORS
f youre like me, youre excited for the approaching pheasant season and youre probably scraping the last of your materials and dreaming of putting a fresh set of feathers on your tying bench. But Ive ferreted a few pheasant tails out of storage for a rainy day last week, I set to work on some of my favorite recent patterns, which are dynamite for panfish and trout.
Teeny Leech
The Teeny Leech is a great buggy brown mini-streamer that is nearly all pheasant with just a touch of flash. You can tie a number of them up quickly, and with a few modifications added lead wire, orange thread or a bead for a head you can get a wide assortment in your box without a lot of effort. MATERIALS Hook: 2XL Nymph, Size 8-12 Thread: Brown 6/0 Tail: 10-12 PT Fibers Body: 10-12 PT Fibers Underwings: 10-12 PT Fibers Ribbing: Fine Copper Wire Start by tying in a set of PT fibers for the tail, which should be about one half of the hook length. Next tie in a two-inch length of fine copper wire and advance your thread to the midpoint of the hook shank (1). Wrap the PT fibers forward to where your thread hangs in order to form the abdomen of the leech. Then counterwrap the copper wire forward to secure the fibers some more and add a little weight and flash. Tie off the wire and fibers and trim at the midpoint (2). From there, tie in another clump of PT fibers forming another underwing at the
midpoint of the flys body (3). Wrap those PT fibers forward forming the thorax of the fly (4). Now tie in a third clump of PT fibers to form an underwing starting under By Nick the hook eye (5). Trim the Simonson fibers off behind the hook eye and cover with a few wraps of thread to form a small head (6). Whip finish and add a drop of cement and your teeny leech is done (7). You can vary this fly by using a fluorescent-colored thread to create a teeny egg-sucking leech, a popular fly for Great Lakes steelhead when spring flows are low not a problem this year, but maybe in seasons to come! The teeny leech is a great all-purpose fly and good in clear waters. Its originator, Jim Teeny, made it for steelhead and trout but it also shines for bluegill and crappies; and bigger versions are great on bass. Whatever species youre after theres a teeny leech to help you catch them.
Thorax: Peacock Herl Collar: Partridge Breast Feather
Triple P
When you put different upland game birds together on the same hook shank, youre guaranteed to catch fish. Hungarian partridge are oftentimes an accompaniment to the ringneck pheasant in the game pouches of upland hunters, and this pattern joins them together once again. Add in a bit of peacock herl and youve got the Triple P - a cant-fail wet fly. MATERIALS Hook: Dry Size 14-18 Thread: 6/0 Brown Abdomen: 4-6 PT Fibers
Start by tying in four to six PT fibers by the tip at the bend of the hook and advance your thread 2/3 of the way up the hook shank (1). Wrap the fibers forward up to the thread to form a tapered abdomen, tying them off with a couple of thread wraps and trimming the excess (2). This abdomen is thinner than what youd normally tie in for a pheasant tail nymph. Tie in a strand of peacock herl at the point where you tied down the PT fibers and adsurvey, is with the Lightning Bug. While vance your thread to one hook-eye space the name might make you think of fireflies behind the actual hook eye (3). dancing in the air on a humid summer Wrap the herl a few times in the area evening, this little gem is a heavy attractor between the abdomen and your thread to nymph with sparkle that draws fish in for form a short, thick thorax, secure it with a a shocking reaction strike.

team to a tie for second place at the 10-team tournament. Jake truly showed his ability as a player today, Viking head coach Jamie Paurus said. There were very wet conditions out there today, not to mention the course is tightly lined with trees. His course management was just outstanding, especially this being the first time he has ever played the course. This is a rare quality to have in a freshman. Valley Citys top mens team shot a 319 to tie for second place with Bethany Lutheran. Crown College won the team title with a 314. Valley Citys Shane Ost and Ben Sorenson both carded an 81 to tie for 13th, and Cody Colemer shot an 82 to tie for 17th.
