AREA BUSINESS with ROGER BLUHM
Evolution is survival key for Lisbon
A new building for First National Bank is being constructed in downtown Lisbon on the
south end of town. (Roger Bluhm/photo)
E
volution is the key to
survival and growth.
Sherry Lunneborg,
director of Lisbon Civic &
Commerce Association,
believes her community
will continue to evolve.
We have a good city,
Lunneborg said. We are
growing in some areas
and weve maintained our
population when a lot of
towns our size are losing
theirs.
Im sure it has some-
thing to do with the Bob-
cat factory down the road
and other things.
Signs of change can be
seen on Main Street in
Lisbon. First State Bank
is building a new ofce
on South Main and a new
Mexican-American restau-
rant is going in at a former
barbecue location.
Te bank has a fairly
small building its in now
and doesnt have drive-
through, Lunneborg said.
Im sure the new building
will allow them to ofer
more services.
Maria, Maria, the new
eatery, will open the frst
week of June.
In the last year, weve
gotten a handful of new
businesses in town, Lun-
neborg said.
Like a lot of small North
Dakota cities, Lisbon does
have some open store-
fronts on Main Street, but
there are incentives for
businesses.
Were slowly getting
the community to under-
stand the beneft of having
someone working on
economic development,
Lunneborg said. We have
opportunities for employ-
ment and a hospital. You
dont have to go to Fargo
for most of your needs.
She added: We have a
grant incentive for new
businesses or for exist-
ing businesses to grow or
renovate available.
Lunneborg has other
plans to help Lisbon in
the future, like service
workshops and continued
economic development
planning.
Collaboration is hard
to do, Lunneborg said.
When it works, the pay-
of is crazy good. We end
up with so much more.
To contact Lunneborg,
call 701-683-5680.
n Its almost Soap Box
Derby time in Valley City
and organizers are looking
for help.
Teres a waiting list for
drivers and -- with Soap
Box Derby cars due to
start arriving on Monday
-- there is a call for spon-
sors to step up.
We always need spon-
sors, said Scott Miller
of the Soap Box Derby
committee. We need car
sponsors and just general
sponors.
Anyone who wants to
help can get a hold of me
and well make sure it gets
done.
Miller can be reached at
701-840-2417.

Im a reader, have been
since my parents instilled
in me a love of books.
So, its with great interest
I heard about What in the
World is Going On?
Its a gathering at 7 p.m.
on Tursday, June 5 at the
Vault, located at 223 N.
Central Avenue in Valley
City.
According to the press
release for the event, winter is over and
now some readers will want to begin a
reading list for the new year.
Seems like a good idea. Afer all, when
the weather turns bitter cold again, whats
better than crawling into a book and dis-
appearing?
Te gathering will also allow for read-
ers to make a case for one of their fa-
vorites -- a call to arms, so to speak, for
some to trumpet the best book theyve
ever read.
As the press release continued, it asked
the question, why read? It provided a
couple of answers.
Alberto Manguel, Argentine novel-
ist, declared: To fnd words for what we
already know. On a more
practical level, comedian
Groucho Marx once ex-
plained, I fnd TV very
educational. Every time
I turn it on, I go into the
other room and read a
book.
Game of Trones author
George R.R. Martin has a
more philosophical answer
to the question. He writes,
A reader lives a thousand lives before he
dies. Te person who never reads lives
only one.
Participants are asked to bring their
enthusiasm when they advertise con-
cisely (up to three minutes) one of their
favorite reads.
A general discussion will follow.
Plan now to make a case for a book
you enjoyed. Fiction or non-fction,
what thrilled you and why, what in open-
ing the pages or reading on screen made
your days more enjoyable.
Only three minutes? Probably not
enough time for me.
For information call 701-845-7321.

Y
es, I know its late
May and for most
people its the season
for fshing, camping, boat-
ing and just soaking in the
sights, sounds and warmth
of spring.
But for North Dakotans,
its also the last week or so
leading up to the 2014 deer
license application deadline
on June 4.
So, while youre enjoying the long over-
due warmer weather, if you want to hunt
deer with a rife or muzzleloader this fall,
dont forget to get your application in by
the deadline.
As with last year, this applies to land-
owners who want an any-legal-deer
gratis license as well. Landowners who do
not submit a gratis license application by
the June 4 deadline will only be eligible for
licenses remaining afer the regular lottery,
which almost certainly will be limited to
doe licenses.
Te North Dakota Game and Fish
Department is making 48,000 licenses
available to hunters this fall, 11,500 fewer
than last year, and the lowest number
since 1980.
Te 2014 total includes 1,350 for ant-
lered mule deer, an increase of 200 from
last year; 932 for muzzleloader, down 270
from last year; and 134 restricted youth
antlered mule deer, an increase of 19 from
last year.
Game and Fish biologists determine
deer license numbers based on prior-year
harvest rates, aerial surveys, depreda-
tion reports, hunter observations, input
at advisory board meetings, and public,
landowner and department feld staf
comments.
Randy Kreil, wildlife chief for the Game
and Fish Department, said even afer
fve years of reducing gun licenses, deer
populations are still below management
objectives in most units, especially in the
eastern part of the state.

ticle was found

dent and tells us about a new business
set to open.

GREEN LANTERN TO OPEN
MONDAY NIGHT
Herb Lincoln announced today that
formal opening of the Green Lantern
will be next Monday night.
Te new place of business will be
rather unique and is located on high-
way 46 just north of the city. Mr. Lin-
coln this winter purchased two coaches
from the Soo Line. One of the coaches
is equipped with coach seats and tables
while the other coach will provide liv-
ing quarters, kitchen and dance foor.
A color scheme of silver, black and
green is being used both for the interior
and exterior, although weather condi-
tions so far have not permitted outside
painting to be done.
Besides serving drinks and lunches,
Mr. Lincoln will also have a flling sta-
tion. Mrs. Janie Lock has purchased an
interest in the caf and with the help of
Mrs. Lincoln will attend to this part of
the business.
Te grounds about the Green Lan-
tern have been leveled and gravel will
be hauled as soon as the frost goes out.
Te Lincolns and Mrs. Lock extend
a cordial invitation to the public to
inspect their new place of business.
n nn
Sues Comments: Te Enderlin
Museum has a lovely framed picture
on display of the interior of the Green
Lantern. It was donated to the Mu-
seum by Ken and LaRayne Opheim.

DID YOU KNOW?
Remembering the Green Lantern opening
T
he mere men-
tion of the word
cholesterol is
enough to strike fear
into peoples hearts.
However, this mis-
understood molecule
is actually essential
for life. Cholesterol is
important for a wide
range of bodily functions including
building cells, digesting food, making
hormones and absorbing vitamins.
On the other hand, excess choles-
terol can be associated with serious
diseases.
Tis short article aims to explain the
delicate balance between cholesterols
positive and negative efects and what
you can do to keep your cholesterol
levels from becoming harmful.
Cholesterol can either be made by
the liver or ingested in food products
like cheese, eggs, meat and fsh. Afer
absorption by the intestines, choles-
terol is then transported by lipopro-
teins that carry it to various regions of
your body.
Low density lipoprotein or LDL is
considered the bad cholesterol since
it transports cholesterol from the liver
through the bloodstream to your or-
gans and tissues.
Problems with this transport arise
when there is too much cholesterol in
the body and a build-up of LDL occurs
in the arteries surrounding the heart.
Tis condition is called coronary ar-
tery disease or more commonly heart
disease.
Deposits of cholesterol called
plaques can eventually block arteries,
resulting in a heart attack or even sud-
den death.
High density lipoprotein or HDL
is considered the good cholesterol
since it can pick up the harmful cho-
lesterol deposits in arteries and trans-
port them back to the liver where the
cholesterol is then excreted into the
intestines.
Heart disease is the leading cause
of death in men and women in the
United States. Known as a silent killer,
people with heart disease usually ex-
perience no symptoms until a major
event like a heart attack occurs.
Doctors recommend that adults
should have their cholesterol mea-
sured every year as a part of their an-
nual check-up.
A simple blood test performed by
your hospital or clinic laboratory is all
that is required to determine if your
cholesterol levels put you at risk for
heart disease.
Total cholesterol measures all the
cholesterol present in your blood
and should be below 200mg/dL in a
healthy person.
Te general rule for LDL or bad
cholesterol levels in your blood is the
lower the better. An LDL level below
130mg/dL is considered healthy in the
general population.
However, if you have a family his-
tory or risk factors for heart disease a
goal of less than 100mg/dL is recom-
mended.
A goal of as low as 70mg/dL should
be considered if you have had a heart
attack or are diabetic.
Conversely, high levels of HDL or
good cholesterol are desirable. Cur-
rent guidelines recommend that HDL
levels of 60mg/dL or greater decrease
the risk of developing heart disease.
If it is determined that your LDL
cholesterol is elevated, your doc-
tor will usually recommend dietary
changes like decreasing consumption
of saturated and trans fats.

STORY AND PHOTOS
BY ROGER BLUHM
Big kids helping
area little kids
20th Annual Head Start Poker Run
scheduled for Saturday, June 14
A
chance to help chil-
dren -- and the need
for a motorcycle
event -- created an annual
event which celebrates 20
years in two weeks.
Te 20th Annual Head
Start Poker Run, an event
started by Valley Citys Brian
Mindt and Mark Boomer
Boom, is set for Saturday,
June 14.
When I moved here, I
asked Boomer if there was
any Poker Runs or anything
going on, Mindt said. He
said no, so I said we needed
to start one.
Te result was the Head
Start Poker Run, which ben-
efts the local Head Start
program.
It was a chance to help
kids, Boomer said. It allows
us to help them buy supplies
they need or overcome a gap
in their budget.
Its all about the kids.
Mindt said over the years,
the ride has evolved. Te
past few years there have
been an average of 60 par-
ticipants.
It used to be we were the
only event on the eastern
side of North Dakota, the
owner of Te Iron Stallion
said. We had a high of 114
participants.
Over the years, the num-
bers have fuctuated as more
beneft rides pop up. I think
the same day as our ride
there are six other rides.
Boomer believes 20 years
of history makes the Head
Start run well-known.
We dont advertise our
run much, he said. Weve
been here for years. Every-
one knows we have the run
and what its for. Its big kids
helping small kids.
Although the runs goals
are the same from year to
year, the ride itself changes
through the years.
We always try to change
things up, go diferent plac-
es, Mindt said. A few years
back we made the ride lon-
ger and a lot of people liked
that.
We had riders coming
up to us and thanking us
for making it a ride, not just
a Poker Run where you sit
around a lot.

T
he world is a loud place. We hear cars and
trucks going rumbling down the road
regularly. Especially in bigger cities we are
familiar with the sounds of planes soaring above
us.
We have music of one sort or another piped
into just about everywhere. Tere are a number
of people I know who turn on a television or ra-
dio so they have some sound when they are try-
ing to go to sleep.
Even as I am writing this the air conditioner in my home is
making its own unique noises. Tose of you reading this I am
sure can think of many of the noises that are a regular part of
your day.
Loud is not always bad; but too loud can be painful and dis-
orientating. Loud can be good when it means the engine on the
tractor is running as it should. Loud can also be good when the
hammer hits the nail on the head.
But we ofen mistakenly think that something being loud is
helpful. We sometimes connect noise with activity and therefore
productivity.
Te reality is that I could pound on nails all day long, all week
long, all year long and never get a house built. I could rev up the
engine in my car up over and over until I ran out of gas but get
nowhere if the car is never taken out of park.
God calls us not to make noise for the sake of noise. He doesnt
call us to be active as if all activity is productive. In Psalm 46 we
have the picture of God being a place of safety, a refuge.
We need such a refuge because as it says in verse 6, the nations
rage.
Tere was noise all around and there is even today the clashing
of battles going on in much of the world. Tere is the anger and
hate of men on display in many ways all around our world.
Lest we point to only the sins of others, we should note that sin
is not far from us either.
We have ofen raged against the neighbor or coworker that
has rubbed us the wrong way or upset us for one reason or an-
other.
To all this noise and raging God calls to people saying, Be still,
and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I
will be exalted in the earth!
Te be still beginning that verse surprises us. We ofen think
that we should be doing so many things.
But when it comes to the most important relationship God
says Quiet down. Stop what you are doing. Listen to this. I am
God.
And Gods command is heard.
People do quiet down and receive the gracious gif of faith
from God Himself.
Just as Jesus said, Peace! Be Still! and the winds ceased so too
Gods Word bring peace to us.
We stop striving and just making noises and God, through His
Word, makes clear that Jesus has done all the work for us already
at the Cross.

DEER: From 6
Te statewide hunter
success rate in 2013 was 55
percent, which was lower
than in 2012 (63 percent),
and well below the depart-
ments goal of 70 percent.
Game and Fish tries to
conduct aerial deer popu-
lation surveys in winter,
but this year, despite the
cold, the only part of the
state that had enough snow
cover for the survey was
the northeast. Results there
showed deer numbers were
down 21 percent in unit 2C
and 29 percent in unit 2D.
Statewide, Kreil said loss
of high quality deer habitat
is an ongoing concern and
will likely limit the poten-
tial for deer population
recovery.
One positive note for
2014 is that the number of
antlered mule deer licenses
was increased modestly
for the frst time in years,
based on an improved
population index from the
spring mule deer survey.
However, as was the case
the past two years, Game
and Fish is again not issu-
ing any antlerless mule deer
licenses in units 3B1, 3B2,
4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and
4F. Tis restriction applies
to regular gun, gratis and
youth licenses.
In addition, resident
and nonresident bowhunt-
ers are also not allowed to
harvest mule deer does in
those units this fall.
Online applications
for the regular deer gun,
youth, muzzleloader, and
resident gratis and non-
resident landowner seasons
are available through the
Game and Fish Depart-
ments website at gf.nd.
gov. Paper applications are
available at license vendors
and Game and Fish ofces.
A new state law requires
residents age 18 or older
to provide on the applica-
tion a valid North Dakota
drivers license number, or
a North Dakota nondriver
photo identifcation num-
ber. Applications will not
be processed without this
information.
North Dakotas 2014 deer
gun season opens Nov.
7 at noon and continues
through Nov. 23.
HEALTH: From 7
Doctors also focus on
ways to increase HDL like
exercising and avoiding al-
cohol and cigarettes.
It is also important to re-
member that in medicine,
prevention is always better
than treatment, especially
when a simple blood test
once a year could even save
your life.
