Legacy Fund
topping $1 billion
BISMARCK - State Treasurer
Kelly Schmidt says she will be trans-
ferring $80.5 million into the Legacy
Fund for the month of April, which
will mean that total deposits made to
the fund since its inception will ex-
ceed $1 billion.
"The original projections esti-
mated deposits to the Legacy Fund at
just over $600 million at the end of
the 2011-13 budget cycle," said
Schmidt. "We have topped $1 billion
in only 20 months. This level of Two in tune

County centennial
books completed
By Jane M. Cook
Reporter
The Golden Valley County Cen-
tennial Books have arrived.
These hard-coye;ed_bound vol-
umes depict a part of the history of
Golden Valley County from the
start, and include county officers
from the last 100 years, the schools
- both city and rural - and the teach-
ers of Sentinel Butte, Beach and
Golva, the homemakers clubs, 4-H
clubs, and the veterans of Golden
Valley County, just to name a few.
The county marked its centennial in
2012.
When she heard that the county
commissioners wanted to recognize
the rural schools' 100th anniversary,
Judy Ridenhower became interested
in the project, and offered her serv-
ices. With the help of Shirley
Schulte and Barbara Carlson, the
three formed a committee, and spent
many hours pouring over numerous
courthouse files and records to see
what could be used and would be of
interest to the residents of the
county.
County commissioners sponsored
the initial research, and the Spirit of
the West Committee also invested. A

portion of the money that is brought
in with the sales of these books will
go to the Spirit of the West educa-
tional fund. Anyone wanting to buy
one of these volumes will be able to
find them at the Beach city auditor's
office for $45.
Mock car crash planned at school
will get "paged out" to an accident
involving a "drunk driver." They
will treat this as they would a real
accident scene, down to patient
care, traffic control and extrication.
Angel Air Care has also offered to
participate with its helicopter, ac-
cording to Frieze.
Once the demonstration is fin-
ished, there will be a closing
speech on the dangers of drinking
and driving and how it affects not
only the ones involved in the crash
but many other lives as well, ac-
cording to Frieze.
These demonstrations have been
done across the country, and they
have had success in decreasing
teenage drinking and driving. The
goal is to get a message out there
and, if at least one teenage death
due to driving under the influence
can be prevented, the organizers
will consider the event a success,
said Frieze.
Anyone with questions can con-
tact Frieze at 872-3917 or 260-
2705.
First responders and others plan
to hold a demonstration for high
school students on May 8 at Beach
High School.
The purpose of the exercise is to
demonstrate the dangers of driving
under the influence, according to
Brenda Frieze, Golden Valley
County emergency manager. Some
of the students will be helping by
pretending to be patients. The
demonstration is scheduled for 2
p.m.
On that Wednesday, all high
school students will come out to
the parking lot of the school. There
will be two cars that have
"crashed," which will be under
tarps with the student "patients" al-
ready in them.
The Community Ambulance
Squad, Beach Medical Clinic, fire
departments, Golden Valley
County Sheriff's Department,
Golden Valley County emergency
manager, Highway Patrol, and Sil-
vernale-Silha Funeral Home will
participate in the exercise. They
