No term limits for
this capitol vetean
By Bilal Suleiman
N.D. Newspaper Association
BISMARCK - When Loretta
Boehm started working at the Capi-
tol Café, they sold cigarettes and ci-
gars at the counter.
Egg salad sandwiches were 50
cents. Coffee and candy bars cost a
nickel each. “Except for Mounds and
Almond Joys. Those were a dime,”
Boehm said.
Loretta Boehm has been serving
up smiles at the Capitol Café in the
state Capitol since 1969. If you’ve
picked ups a sandwich or a salad in
the Capitol in the last 49 years,
you’ve likely met her.
Boehm grew up and ,went to
school in McClusky, After graduat~
ing with the class of 1967, she
worked at the register of deeds office
in McClusky.
“I was only there for maybe six
months and then they changed to mi-
crofilming everything.”So she got
laid off.
After a year of business classes at
. a now defunct community college,
i
Boehm saw an ad in the paper for a
job as kitchen help.
“So I called up, and the lady, her
name was Maggie, answered and
said ‘Well can you come up today?"
' and I said ‘Well it’s going to take me
. a while because I have to walk and I
live quite a ways down’,” Boehm
said.
“’Oh, that’s no problem’ she said.
‘I’ll come down to your apartment
and interview you,”’ Boehm said.
Boehm still walks about two
blocks to work every morning, arriv—
ing at about 5:40 am. to get ajump~
start on the day. She doesn’t drive
i’ and has never owned a car.
Boehm runs the main cash line at
the café, which has two lines of cus-
tomers compared to the other tills,
which only have one line. It is from
‘ this vantage point that she meets
. nearly every person who comes
1, through
Boehm has met Australians, Nor-
wegians and everyone in between.
She’s watched raucous arguments

Better Business Bureau of Min-
nesota and North Dakota (BBB)
urges consumers shopping for 3 ve-
hicle online to be cautious of bogus
auto dealer websites, including an
entity claiming to be located in Fargo
that has defrauded consumers of
thousands of dollars over the past
month.
BBB first became aware of “Su-
perior Auto Sales” and its website
(www.used-sas.com) in mid-January,
when concerned consumers submit—
ted BBB Customer Reviews and
Scam Tracker reports about recent
interactions with Superior. Some de-
scribed “close calls” with the fraud—
ulent entity; others reported having
‘ already wired away $800 — $1000 in
“deposit” money for vehicles they
never received.
The scam typically starts with a
car, trailer, boat, Or other vehicle list-
ing on Craigslist. Would—be victims

cle’s cost as a deposit, including
bank routing information and wire
instructions. Once the
money has been wired, Superior cuts

occur in the lunch line between lob-
byists, legislators, state officials and
the press. She knows what veteran
members of the state government
like to eat for lunch every day.
“Gov. Schafer used to come in
every day and get a bottle of pop.
Gov. Dalrymple, when he was lieu—
tenant governor, he’d come in al—
most every day and have a sandwich
at the grill. Grilled cheese with
bacon; it was his favorite,” Boehm
said.
Chief Justice Gerald VandeWalle
always gets a cup of soup, and long-
time Rep. Bob Martinson’s favorite
meal is tuna noodle hot dish.
Back when Loretta started, the
«ranch Iadi’e’sd‘rttlte’café Wore‘dresses
and waited 0n tables.
“Finally, towards the late 70’s
they decided we could wear slacks
how to participate in the lawmaking
process. The event provides oppor-
tunities to meet with lawmakers and
network with other advocates.
The North Dakota Women’s Net-
work (NDWN) sponsors this free
event, which kicks off on Sunday
with an afternoon of advocacy
off all communication and the con-
sumer receives nothing.
This fraudulent site may be par-
ticularly convincing to consumers
because the scammers behind it
chose to use the name of a legitimate,
licensed auto dealer formerly located
at the same address in Fargo. This
may lead consumers attempting to
research Superior Auto Sales online
to old Google, Yelp, and other list-
ings for the former business.
"BBB has contacted the web regis~
trar behind the website, informing
them the site has been defrauding
consumers and asking that they sus-
pend it. As of Feb. 25, the website is

and a nice top, That was kinda nice,”
Boehm said. The waitressing ended
in the late 80’s or early 90’s, Boehm
said.
Boehm said they used to take a
lunch cart up through Memorial Hall,
which was popular among legislators
who were at their desks. Boehm de-
scribed how the Café used to have
open house days, when the cafeteria
would set up long tables covered
with free coffee and cookies. “Peo-
ple always looked forward to that,”
Boehm said.
When she’s not at work, Boehm
likes to spend time reading, watching
TV and embroidering. Sometimes
she’llgo to thefmovies; .
Despiteall thé‘cnafiges that have
taken place at the Capitol since 1969,
one constant remains: Loretta
Boehm.
Event to give women insight into legislative process
training from 1—5 pm. at the Ra—
mada in Bismarck and continues
with hands-on education at the
State Capitol from 8 a.m.-3:30 pm.
on Monday.

still active, and Superior is likely still
creating associated Craigslist listings
around the country.
BBB has also identified a com-
panion site, www.3eized-pab.com,
which features the same fraudulent
listings, this time under the pretense
of being a business called “Preferred
Auto Brokers” in Minot. As with Su—
perior Auto Sales in Fargo, there is
currently no such business located in
Minot.
