ND Parks and Recreation Dept. sent letter regarding shoreline management for The North. Dakota Parks and Recreation Department has sent a letter to the US. Army Corps of En- gineers’ on the Draft Shoreline Man- agement Plan for Lake Sakakawea. In the letter, the Department re— quested the Corps work with the De- partment to prioritize silt removal and shoreline stabilization projects along the lake. As lake conditions change, due to the operation and management of the Garrison Dam, open access may become a concern as silt accumulates and erosion may occur within the shoreline areas of Lake Sakakawea. “We know how important recre- ation and accessibility for recreation activities is for our citizens. The De- partment will continue to work in partnership with the Corps, as it has for years, to manage shorelines in a safe and sustainable manner,” stated Andrea Travnicek, North Dakota Parks and Recreation director. In addition, the North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department would like the Corps to continue to prioritize identifying further public access areas to the lake as well as Lake Sakakawea private. access. A‘clear, transparent permitting process for access needs to be put in place for the approval and denial of permits.

She spent her childhood playing outside and being satisfied her experience s with the simple things in life. It was- n’t until her family came to North Dakota in 2009 that she realized having access to clean water, elec— tricity and medical care could be ex-' pected, not a luxury. ‘ Dhungana said adapting to the American way of life was one of her biggest challenges when she came to Grand Forks. As an 11-year-old, she was bombarded with new rules and norms: You have to follow traf- fic lights. You can’t hold hands with ' someone unless you are dating. Canned food is a thing and there is a ridiculous amount of it at Walmart. While learning the ins and outs. of this new culture, Dhungana was also challenged with keeping her' own alive. “I grew up being surrounded by individuals who spoke Nepali and had a similar culture to me, so I had a difficult time communicating with others,” Dhungana said. “Adapting was very challenging while also try—‘ ing to preserve my own culture. I had to go from being a Nepali girl Ranju Dhungana on the inside to an American on the outside.” International refugees are vetted by the US. State Department before they are brought to the United States and turned overto Lutheran Social Services and other charitable organ- izations, which provide initial help with resettlement in states that have agreed to'receiVe them. ' Dhungana knew very little Eng- lish before resettling. She said leam- ing the language wasn’t that bad since she could study using books, television and music. She said it also helped that her teachers were patient and understanding. (“I remember getting books like ‘.Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ and I would isolate myself from people and force myself to try to read the words,” Dhungana said. Now, she is getting ready to grad- uate from the University of North Dakota with a psychology degree with a pre—health focus. The honors student is applying to medical schools this year. While she doesn’t have a specialization in mind, she has known for a long time that she wants to help others who are suffer- mg. Dhungana’s father died from a lack of anti-venom when he was bit- ten by a snake. She was only 6 years old. She said this loss has motivated her to pursue a medical Career. “After losing my dad, seeing the lack of medicine and seeing indi- viduals die from preventable dis- eases, I knew'that I wanted to go into the medical field,” she said. Dhungana said she was disap- pointed to see that Lutheran Social Services-North Dakota had to close down and worries that new refugees will not have access to the same re- sources that she had. “I was really sad because Lutheran Social Services has helped hundreds of people to resettle here and make their transition 3 little eas- ier,” Dhungana said. She hopes that the Department of Human Services will do their best to keep the program going. While her community has been very accepting and treats her family well, Dhungana said she still sees racism and hate toward refugees on social media. She said that people forget refugees are humans who had to abandon their homes. “Here’s the thing, no one really wants to leave their homeland and be resettled in a foreign place with- out knowing the language and so— cial norms,” Dhungana said. ‘fThe majority of refugees have been forced from their homes or are es- caping war and persecution.” Dhungana’s parents had to flee from Bhutan due to ethnic cleans- ing. She said they had to build their own but in the refugee camp, where they lived for almost two decades. Dhungana wishes more people in North Dakota would be empa—V thetic and open to those that need help. “Back in Bhutan, they had their land, money, their home, every— thing.’But they had to leave all of that,” Dhungana said. “I think peo- ple don’t understand that no one is choosing to leave their homeland.” News coVerage of hearings, trials can be free seminars on law The US.

Bork and the 1999 impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton. For those citizens eager to learn more about the Constitution, these various hearings constitute a free Seminar on Constitutional Law. They remind us that education about the law of the land is an on— going process, one ‘accessible to citizens everywhere. The historic impeachment trial of President Trump, like that of President Clinton two decades ago, introduces viewers to the funda- mentals of the Impeachment Clause. Tune in and you will catch a glimpse, and often much more, about the reasoning and application of impeachable offenses — treason, bribery and high crimes and misde— meanors. Listen to the House man- agers and defense attorneys for contending interpretations of what constitutes an “incitement to insur- rection.” Follow the arguments — pro and con — for conviction of Trump and potential disqualifica- tion from holding office in the fu- ture. A presidential impeachment trial is rare. In all of American history, only three presidents —— Andrew Johnson, Clinton and Trump — have been impeached.

For many viewers, the hearings were an eye—opener. They learned that al— though a president has no authority to violate the law, that, indeed, President Ronald Reagan had vio— lated several statutes that prohib— ited U.S. assistance to a group of insurgents — the Sandinistas — 'at- tempting to overthrow a democrat— ically elected government. They learned, moreover, that the assis— tance was funded by the illegal sale of arms to Iran. The seminar in foreign relations law helped Americans understand that Congress, not the president, enjoys the lion’s share of foreign policy powers, as any reading of Article I and II of the Constitution makes clear. At that point, viewers grasped the fact that the president, ABBREVIATED NOTICE OF lNTENT TO AMEND AND ADOPT ADMINISTRATIVE RULES relating to Veterinary Medicine.

In 1987, the'Senate defeated the nomination of Robert Bork for a seat on the Supreme Court. Bork, then a judge on the DC.

Chance: 5‘}; e’F‘i” \ The Bork Hearings were in— structive for Americans interested in learning about the process of confirming nominees to the Supreme Court. They were fasci- nating for the rich debate about constitutional interpretation in— spired by Senators’ questions and Bork’s answers. The Bork Hearings provided a first-rate constitutional seminar. They, too, were free. The hearings were intense, far beyond any that had been held, probably since the 1916 hearings for the nomination of Louis Bran- deis to the court. Brandeis, the first Jewish citizen nominated to the court, was the target of virulent anti-semitism, but he was nonethe- less confirmed and became, by scholarly consensus, one of the greatest justices in our history.
