YOUR HEALTH
T
omato season is here!
Take advantage of all
the tasty reasons to
include fresh tomatoes with
your fall meals.
Te cherry tomato is a
very small variety of tomato
that ranges in size from a
thumb tip up to the size of a
golf ball. Tey are available
in a variety of colors such as
orange, red, green, yellow,
black and white.
Tere are so many
reasons to eat tomatoes.
One-half cup of sliced to-
mato is an excellent source
of vitamins C, A and K as
well as potassium. Tey
are natu-
rally fat free,
cholesterol
free and low
in sodium.
Tomatoes
are also rich
in lycopene,
which is an
antioxidant
that may decrease the risk
of certain cancers and heart
disease.
When shopping for
cherry tomatoes at our local
grocery stores or the Farm-
ers Market, choose plump
tomatoes with smooth skins

Te board also promotes fundraising events like the VCSU
Rendezvous coming up Oct. 17 and the VCSU Scholarship

MORE SCHLECT: From 9
people didnt lose their lives while trying to escape.
Nowadays we have build-
ing codes, which require
additional exits and alarm
systems, but those early
wood frame buildings were
usually hastily built just to
accommodate whatever
business owners needed a
roof over their heads, and
ofen, with sleeping rooms
or living quarters on the
upper level.
I checked the 1984 Nome
History Book for further
information about Lucca.
Pages 181-191 give a con-
densed history of Lucca. I
found on page 184 that on
Oct. 1, 1915, the Nome Tri-
bune carried an article enti-
tled Lucca Had Disastrous
Fire in which they state
that this is the frst bad fre
ever experienced in Lucca.
Evidently memories were
short and the fre 10 years
earlier was completely for-
gotten! Te 1915 fre also
consumed Luccas general
merchandise store and the
meat market.

BAD BLAZE AT LUCCA:
A Big Hole Was Burned in the Little
Town Last Saturday
Te town of Lucca sufered a disas-
trous fre last Saturday, the general
store being efectually put out of busi-
ness.
Te fre started at
7:30 in the morning
from a stove in the
store building occu-
pied by Gaaserud and
Mann with a stock of
general merchandise.
Tere was a brisk wind
and the fames spread
very rapidly, completely
destroying the store, the pool room of
Marschke Brothers adjoining and the
postofce building.
Te rooms over the store were occu-
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Mann, who were
married but a short time ago, Elevator
Agent Sweet and Mr. Hanson, man-
ager of the lumber yard. Tey barely
had time to make their exit from the
burning building and Mr. Sweet had to
fght for his life. His was a rear room
and the hallway was in fames before
he realized the danger. He tried to
break out through the window, but the
sash was strong and he cut his hands
severely without making an opening
through which he could escape. Ten
in peering about in the deep smoke he
found outside the room an old door of
its hinges. He battered the window out
with this and jumped to the ground.

He had to leave behind him
nearly $1,000 in cash and valuable
papers, of which $130 in currency
was his personal loss and the bal-
ance company funds. Mr. Hanson
also lost all his clothes and money.
Gaaserud and Mann lost their
entire stock, valued at $7,000 and
insured for only $1,000. Teir
liabilities exceed the amount of
the insurance, and they are lef
absolutely penniless, without even
clothes to wear. Tey are two
worthy young men who went into
business at Lucca last February
and have the sympathy of many
friends in their misfortune. Mr.
Gaaserud used to farm near Venlo
and Mr. Mann clerked for Peter
Berg at Enderlin. A large part of
their original stock was bought
from the Ransom County Immi-
gration Association.
Te building belonged to Mrs.
Anna D. Walter of Newburgh, N.
Y., formerly of Sheldon. It was
worth perhaps $2,000 and was
insured for $1,000.
Marschke Brothers saved part
of the contents of their pool room.
Teir loss is about $1,000 with
$500 insurance.
Miss Lottie Miller, the postmis-
tress, saved the mail and postofce
equipment and a portion of her
stock of cigars and candy. She loses
about $500.

n Matthew 12:24, the
Pharisees are saying
that Jesus is casting
out demons by the power
of Beelzebul, the prince of
demons. Tey are attributing
His power and strength to
the devil.
Jesus basically says this is
foolish; why would the devil
fght against himself in this way?
He goes on then to say in verse 33: Ei-
ther make the tree good and its fruit good,
or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for
the tree is known by its fruit.
Jesus is saying to the Pharisees, either
I am doing a good thing and then you
should recognize me as coming from God,
or this is a bad thing and I am, as you say,
from Beelzebul.
Tis is a very similar line of thinking to
what Jesus said in John 10:25, 37, and 38.
I am reminded, that when we consider
the Bible, we are presented with Jesus
Christ who said and did miraculous things;
healing the sick, raising the dead, etc.
C. S. Lewis, in his book Mere Christian-
ity, said that when we hear about Jesus
we have three options: either he is a liar, a
lunatic, or Lord. Te Pharisees in Matthew
decided He was a liar, from the father of
lies, Satan.
Jesus uses this opportunity to speak
about how speech reveals character. He
says in verse 35-36, Te good person out
of his good treasure brings forth good, and
the evil person out of his evil treasure

Te inalienable right to life of every human

M
easure No. 1 promises to be the most
difcult of the eight measures on the
November ballot because its brief
19-word mandate is fraught with secular and
theological unknowns, lending it to a range
of conficting interpretations and speculation
about intended as well as unintended consequences.
Since this measure is driven primarily by theology, it is ap-
propriate to examine it in the light of Christian values.
Te principle involved is sanctity of life.
For most Christians, the Bible establishes values. Unfortu-
nately, the Bible does not directly address the issue before us.
Proponents of Measure No. 1 buttress their case with a
number of scriptural references, some of which are irrelevant
while others are generic. So we must draw conclusions based
on general Bible teaching.
Considering the general tenor of scripture, there are sev-
eral reasons we can claim that sanctity of life is an underlying
principle of Gods relationship with mankind.
1. Because God created life, humans should not treat His
magnifcent work carelessly.
2. Te importance of human life to God is evidenced by His
constant reaching for a meaningful relationship with human-
ity through centuries of time, starting with Abraham and the

The Personhood Measure:
One Christians perspective
By Lloyd
OMDAHL
EDITORS NOTE: OPINION COLUMNIST ROB PORT IS ON VACATION THIS WEEK. HIS COLUMN WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK.
T
o those of you who
do not either attend
the Valley City city
commission meetings or
watch them on CSI cable, I
would like to tell the story
of some daring do by
our city attorney against
the head of the EDC
(Economic Development
Corporation.) at the last city commission
Meeting.
Note that the C stands for Corporation
with all the rights given to such entities by
the law. NOT a Committee, or a Council,
or Center, but a full fedged Corporation.
Te head of the EDC, Jennifer Feist, in
her usual gentile manner, addressed the
city commission concerning its proposal
tto allow the EDC to purchase any city
property available to use in package
deals with companies proposing to come
to VC without going through the usual
process of bidding on a sale of city prop-
erty, as set up at the EDCs request.
Feist made no secret that this requst was
intended to bypass the city attorney.
She even made it perfectly clear that if he
said no, the EDC would go to the state with
its own lawyer citing an interpretation of
the Century Code that difers from the city
attorneys and, failing that, to the North
Dakota Supreme Court!
In addition, Feist appeared to cite previ-
ous situations at some point in time where
the city commission had either given the
EDC based on its charter with the city
free land or at a price of around $10,000
an acre! Really? When?
A deal like this with the city is consid-
ered necessary to close deals with prospec-
tive companies. She made it clear, toward
the end of the presentation, that the EDC
was not planning to speculate and purchase
city land for the Corporation, an would
do so ONLY if obtaining the property was
necessary.
Te city attorney took umbrage at what
he considered to be and end run around
him on the purchases, which of course she
denied, despite the threat of going further
if he did not comply with her wishes.
Personally, I considered that to be the
correct attitude on his part.
Tere were some other heated exchanges
over details, which I will not go into, but I
would suggest that anyone interested in the
city getting top dollar for city property,
even from prospective businesses, should
speak to their favorite commissioner or the
mayor (tie breaker) on this subject.
Getting new businesses these days in
a small town (we are currently around
number 12 in the state, down from our
original number 6 for many years long
ago.) is a tough, competitive business in
itself.
Te EDC considers this proposal to be,
perhaps, the extra foot up in negotiations.
Since the arrival in Valley City of John
Deere and the 80 or so employees of Eagle
Creek, plus the building of the minimally
used Hi Tech Center and Eagle Creek
buildings, belonging now to the EDC, not a
lot new has happened.
Te EDC feels they need this competi-
tive edge. Please voice your opinions.

OPINION: LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Lowell
BUSCHING
Its time public weighs in on economic development procedures
L
ets start with
some statistics:
We have 16.1
million poor chil-
dren, and 7.1 million
extremely poor, for a
total of 23.2 mil-
lion. We have fve
million poor infants
and toddlers and 12
percent of that total are extremely
poor. Nearly 60 percent of all of our
children, more than 80 percent of
our black children and 75 percent of
our Latino children perform below
fourth and eighth grade academic
levels. Over 1.1 million of the 2012
high school class dropped out before
graduating. We rank 22nd among
developed countries in high school
dropouts and graduation rates. Chil-
dren from families in the bottom 20
percent of incomes drop out at a rate
fve times highter than that of stu-
dents who are in the top 20 percent
of family incomes.
Perhaps this statistic will alarm
those Cheney-McCain neocons who
are always eager to get us into the
next war to save the One Percent:
At the present time, more than 75
percent of our 17-24 age group can-
not pass military tests or entrance
criteria to even get into the military.
Te reasons? Poor literacy, health or
prison time.
Even with this information at their
disposal, Republican right-wing
reformers such as Michelle Rhee,
and even billionaire Bill Gates, say
getting rid of bad teachers will solve
all of our problems in education, that
replacing bad teachers with good
teachers will immediately wipe out
other societal excuses such as lack
of educational support money and
the poverty and health of students
and families.
For A Moment Lets Compare Te
Professions Of Medicine And Educa-
tion
Most One Percenters have a
lifespan of between 95 and 103 today.
But in terms of average life expec-
tancy, we Americans as a whole rank
37th in the world. Japan tops female
life expectancy at 87 while we are
at 81. Iceland tops male life expec-
tancy at 81.2 compared to our 76. In
Americas poorest counties, where we
fnd extreme poverty, males have a
life expectancy of 64 and females 73.
Life expectancy is the most impor-
tant marker of a societys health.
Why should a One Percenter, who
makes over $10 million a year, live 30
years longer than a 99 Percent coal
miner in West Virginia?
Republicans ofen say that money
or the lack of it does not infuence
the quality of education in our
schools across the country. Only
the quality of teachers makes a real
diference. No other qualities of
life matter, particularly money. Bad
teachers produce terrible results in
the classroom.
It would seem to me that the same
condition should exist in healthcare.
If the coal miner in West Virginia
dies 30 years before the One Percent
hedge fund manager he was

born with on the same day, then it must be a
bad doctor who did him in at 64.
It certainly couldnt be poverty. It certainly
couldnt be his living environment. It certain-
ly couldnt be his diet. It certainly couldnt be
stress. Why, a good doctor should be able to
add 30 years to his life span. Or have I missed
something?
Or maybe Wright Patman, a longtime dead
Texas Democrat, had it right when he made
this political and religious statement: One
of the frst duties of government is to pro-
tect the weak against the strong, to prevent
men from injuring one another. We know
that many, but not all, of our most powerful
and infuential citizens are very greedy. It is
perfectly natural that they seek power, infu-
ence, and greater wealth. It is also true that
where there is greed, there is no vision, and
the Good Book says that where there is no
vision, the people perish.
Why Are Te Poor Te Most Charitable
People In Reagans Shining City On A
Hill?
Te New York City school system has
been sponsoring food drives among all of its
schools for about 15 years. One might expect
that the schools in the wealthiest parts of the
city would lead the food drives in quantity
and quality. Not so.
Consistently over the years, the 18 most
generous schools are 18 of the poorest schools
in the entire city. Te director of the New York
City Harvest Food Bank, largest food bank
in the country, has fnally fgured it out: In
neighborhoods where poverty is the greatest,
people are most aware of hunger.
In Englewood, N.J., one of the richest
suburban communities around New York
City, it is evident the citizens have a diferent
attitude about charity and food drives. When
it was discovered that at least 100 families
were dumpster-diving and eating straight
out of the numerous dumpsters and trash
cans surrounding gourmet restaurants, the
local newspaper fred away at the hungry:
Tis is a state of afairs that any red-blooded
citizen will want to put a stop to, even if it
costs him his bottom dollar. Te necessary
amount must be raised immediately to build
a waste incinerator that will put an end to
these revolting practices.
According to the National Foundation to
End Senior Hunger, more than eight percent
of Minnesotans over 60 face the threat of
hunger. Tats the second lowest rate in the
country. But more than half of food-insecure
seniors are more likely to have diabetes, twice
as likely to report poor health, three times
more likely to sufer from depression, 14 per-
cent more likely to have high blood pressure,
nearly 60 percent more likely to have conges-
tive heart failure or a heart attack, and twice
as likely to have gum disease or asthma.
Tree Billionaire Reformers Who Know
Nothing About Education
Te Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, and
the Walton Family Foundation have spent
billions trying to bend educational policies
to ft their idea of functional-and dynamic-
schools.
According to Joanne Barkan of Dissent
magazine and many other sources, their edu-
cational program is a market-based educa-
tional system based on these goals: parental
school choice, intense competition, deregula-
tion of state control, increasing local control,
increasing accountability, and data-based de-
cision-making. (Tat last one would increase
Microsof profts!)
Tey would accomplish these goals through
the use of charter schools, turning large high
schools into smaller schools, emphasizing
standard testing for students, basing salaries
on merit pay for teachers who improved stu-
dent test scores, fring bad teachers and clos-
ing schools if test scores did not improve. If
these things worked, all schools and students
would be performing at grade level and liv-
ing the American Dream.
Why Cant Billionaires See Te Efects Of
Poverty?
Well none of these pro-
grams and ideas have worked
and never will. Te three
billionaires never fgured out
that some students are home-
less or do not have a room to
study, have never been more
than 12 blocks from home (if
they have one), never have a
magazine or newspaper in
the home, cannot aford a
computer or the Internet, are
hungry most of the time, and
only occasionally visit their
father in jail.
Bill Gates has never experi-
enced privation, being raised
by well-to-do parents and
educated at Lakeside School
and Harvard before dropping
out. He knew how to make
money. At one time he even
tried to get his computer pro-
grammers identifed as in-
dependent contractors so he
would not have to pay them
benefts such as Social Securi-
ty, unemployment insurance,
Workmens Compensation,
etc. Te IRS rejected his tax
proposals.
Te members of the Wal-
ton family, the richest family
in the world, have all become billionaires be-
cause the source of their fortunes, Walmart
and Sams Club stores, are stafed with tens of
thousands of ill-paid illegals from all around
the world, in part-time servitude through
irregular schedules and low wages. Te tax-
payers now support the employees of each
Walmart in the country to the tune of about
$1million. Te six members of the Walton
family should have all served jail time for hir-
ing illegals, a violation of federal law. Pictures
of billionaire Waltons in perp walks to jail
would have had a profound efect on other
employers trying to hire cheap labor. Tey
would have eliminated 16 f. border fences,
the sale of 17 f. ladders, and the hiring of
20,000 Border Patrol ofcers.
Eli Broad should know better. Te son
of an immigrant Jewish house painter and
dressmaker in the Bronx, he had to be blind
to the poverty that surrounded him and
his family. To make college money, he sold
womens shoes, garbage disposals door-to-
door, and was a union drill press operator at
Packard Motors in Detroit. He was lucky in
life and founded two Fortune 500 companies
in house building and insurance. Eli is worth
more than $6 billion today and says he will
give away 75 percent of his fortune before his
death. But evidently he still cant see

3. Next, mankind was so to Him that
He ofered the life of His son, Jesus
Christ, to bring man back to Him.
With the coming of Christ, a major
shif occurred between the New and the
Old Testament. Te Old Testament God-
nation paradigm was changed to a God-
person relationship in which personal
accountability became a critical aspect.
Most Christians believe that there will
be a time of personal accountability, at
which time every human will give a per-
sonal accounting to God for transgres-
sions committed in this life.
For Christians, Measure No. 1 would
replace personal decisions and personal
accountability with a universal secular
mandate that would leave them with no
options in difcult circumstances.
It has been suggested that Measure
No. 1 is too broad and will result in seri-
ous consequences. Some of those conse-
quences are identifable and intentional.
Te measure would make illegal cer-
tain birth control measures; challenge
the making of living wills, and outlaw
In-vitro fertilization. Many faithful
Christians believe in birth control, liv-
ing wills and in-vitro births.
With the language of Measure No. 1
in the constitution, a court injunction
could be obtained against any of these
activities.
Measure No. 1 creates another prob-
lem. It provides no exception for anyone
at any age that would become pregnant
by seduction, sex trafcking, rape or in-
cest. It is also silent about the impending
death of a mother.
Tis means that the Christian parents
of a 14-year-old girl becoming pregnant
by sex trafcking, seduction, rape or
incest would have no voice in the mat-
ter even though they would seek Gods
counsel for the right decision and would
be cognizant of the sanctity of life.
Afer such a traumatic experience as
rape or incest, the child could become
a lifelong victim mandated by Measure
No. 1. Teen suicides have occurred un-
der less challenging circumstances.
With around 80 percent of North Da-
kotans professing the Christian faith, it
seems that churches should do more to
teach Christians the Biblical values in-
volved. Tat would deal with 80 per cent
of the problem.
For those of us who will never become
pregnant by rape, seduction, incest or
sex trafcking, the vote on this measure
may be relatively simple but it shouldnt
be.

what poverty does although by living now in Los Angeles County he is surrounded by it.
Why Didnt Eli, Bill And Te Waltons Try To Fix Te Best Health Care?
I imagine that the Gates, Broads and Waltons have the best health care in the world, while the
rest of the country has health care rated at 34th best in the world by the World Health Organization.
Why wouldnt they try to improve the training of doc-
tors and the treatments available in hospitals when
life expectancy among the poor, middle class and the
rich varies by as much as 30 years? Shouldnt all those
poor doctors and hospital administrators be fred and
replaced with good ones? Tat is, if one used the same
criteria in medicine as one used in education.
Dozens of education studies have shown that the
problems in education are not the programs or teach-
ers in public schools, it is poverty.
All studies of human development indicate that the
gap in cognitive, physical and social development be-
tween children in poverty and middle-class children is
mostly set by age three.
Te disaster of Leave No Child Behind and its inces-
sant drilling and testing does not improve education, it
dulls the mind.
Replacing public schools with charter schools is no
answer either. Research by Stanford University shows
that 83 percent of charters do no better and some-
times worse than the public schools they replaced.
And ofen charter schools choose to operate without
enrolling the mentally and physically handicapped that
public schools are required to enroll by law.
According to estimates, our teachers spend an aver-
age of $1,000 of their own money on school supplies
and materials for class projects each year because fami-
lies dont have enough money to provide them.
Twenty percent of all K-12 schools in the country
have poverty rates above 75 percent. Schools with pov-
erty rates of less than 10 percent ranked frst in science
and reading and third in mathematics on international
tests in the years 2005-06.
Te future is not bright for the poor and the declin-
ing middle class. We now have 48 million in low wage
jobs and 43 precent of new U.S. jobs since 2010 are
low wage. While one in every 25 New Yorkers are mil-
lionaires, the average wage of new jobs has dropped 23
percent. It represents a loss of $93 billion since 2007.
Tis means more poverty for Americans.

FAITHFULLY: From 10
brings forth evil. I tell you, on the
day of judgment people will give
account for every careless word
they speak.
One theologian says, Te
heart overfowing in speech
through the mouth is about the
same as the tree with its native
fruit. Te overfow shows what is
in the reservoir (R. C. H. Lenski
Commentary on Matthew).
So hearing this, you and I must
consider how we have spoken
about God and Jesus Christ, the
Son of God. Have you been care-
less in the words you have spo-
ken? If you have, you have bro-
ken the commandment to not
misuse the name of the Lord and
stand in need of forgiveness and
Gods mercy.
Tankfully and wonderfully
we have in Jesus Christ a good
tree who bears good fruit. From
the heart of Jesus Christ come
words of forgiveness and peace.
Te word of God proclaims in
Acts 3:19, Repent therefore, and
turn again, that your sins may be
blotted out.
Jesus is not from the devil. Je-
sus is not a lunatic. Jesus is not a
liar. Jesus is the one and only Son
of God who spoke truth and pro-
claimed the forgiveness of sins.
He sacrifced Himself so that our
sins, great and small; even every
careless word might be paid for
and we might be reconciled to
God. Jesus is the good tree that
bears good fruit, for from Him
fow eternal life and peace. May
God grant to us a growing faith
in Jesus Christ the Lord.
