I read the Devils Lake Journal today (you can to.. at www.devilslakejournal.com) I found a wonderful group of kids. These middle school children wanted to help the victims in Haiti. They were told by the principle raise $5,000 and I will shave my head. Another teacher said raise $7,000 and I will shave my head. Our Own Hometown BOy Todd Lagasse… said raise $10,000 and i will shave my head. Well my friends… Todd is now bald. The kids pulled together and raised $15,000 for Haiti relief and donated it to the local Red Cross association.
NOW that is something to be proud of.. way to go Todd! Nice to way to Motive, although I am going to keep my hair!
Just Wind is looking to develop a wind farm in Rolette County. A large group of land owners need to sign up for this to happen. A meeting was held at the Rolette school wed. 12/16. Just Wind handed out info and Jeff answered questions. The next meeting will be in 3 weeks.
Just Wind - Wind Farm Development -
Wind farms provide economic benefits such as local tax revenue and employment. Wind power produces no emissions or waste. Land owners agree to a 30 year lease and are paid $2.00 per acre per year. A payment of $4,000 per year is paid to landowners who have a turbine on their land. A pool payment is shared equally among all the landowners.

Treasurer Gary Linson counted out $382 in cash. I put in my own $25 and $20 to make change or $337 plus $192 in checks for $529. I don’t yet know what I owe Linda Lilley and crew for cooking and serving. Carole Johnson scooped out the RADA ice cream with help from her husband Rodney. I know all but two rows of table were filled plus takeouts. I hauled a fifty pound table from upstairs in more than I should have done. Mary Patton’s sister J. helped with another table to fill in the empty space to the South. People filled in music and book preferences with Vince Flynn, Stephan King, Westerns (3). 20s and 80s Science Fiction, 3 Classical music, Love Stories, and Mysteries. I figure I can get about 10 books and CDs. When I ordered Vince Flynn on espionage and governmental insuficiences, my Wikopedia seemed to be tapped to see who was ordering. His Pursuit of Honor: A Novel may be his most popular. I thoiught I had a Stephen King in hardcover but don’t so will pick up one at a bookstore. A New Kind of Love Story: Love is Love by Donna Barnes is brand new so cost more. It will be shipped November 12th. Clue At The Bottom of the Lake (Cabin Creek Mysteries) by Kristiana Gregory is a mass market paperback. A Western Leadville is by James D. Best in a new paperback. Dark Matter by S. W. Ahmet is a paperback. I went for latest publication date in belief you probably didn’t alread have these. I will put these out on the fiction shelves in the mall. I almost have to go to Grand Forks and geet more disc space into my laptop so I can keep new CDs in the music room after ripping them. Thanks to the Rahns and all of you I know from cafes, coffee, churches, sports who have swapped stories, done condolances, and just being good neighbors. Duane Crawford

McCumber Angus had their cow sale last week. It was a great success. Cow were bought by local ranches, out of state Angus ranches and a few going to Canada. As usual the Tastad family is a very positive benefit to the Rolette community.
Trip to Bismarck was good. The speaker had been raised poor which is not always the case for people speaking about poverty. I don’t think she had may solutions….just the point of “look at things from the other persons view”.
Don’t judge people against YOUR experiences in life. Judge people against THEIR experiences in life.
We gat a portable speaker system. Not very big but a nice size. We could have used it for leadership plenty.
Here is a office news release from Gayle Gette.
