A combination of heavy snow.
strong wind and ground that was
already saturated resulted in the
demise of numerous evergreen trees
during a weekend blizzard.
Spruce, pine and cedar trees
were toppled or broken in the storm.
When spruce .trees, with shallow
root systems fell, they uprooted sod,
or even nearby concrete with them.
Beach seemed to be one of the
area's towns that was hardest hit by
the wind. At the Robert and Joyce
Austin residence, Joyce Austin said
11 trees were damaged. She said she
didn't hear the trees come down,
including branches that landed on
their garage during the night.
The wind whipped the wet snow
so that it stuck to nearly everything.
"That night my house looked
like a snow cone," said Janice
Beaumont, the Austins' daughter.
Trees were toppled throughout
Beach, including a spruce tree that
was .located between the City Hall
and the Golden Valley County
Veterans Memorial properties.
There was a report of at least one
tree being downed on a house in
Golva.
Several cedar trees in De Mores
Memorial Park in downtown
Medora were also tipped or dam-

The city of Beach is looking
bids for renovating the former fire
hall on Main Street.
The city auditor's office and the
City Council's meeting room
occupy a part of the building, but
the remainder is an open space
since a new fire hall was built in
northwest Beach.
A possibility is that the vacant
space may be used be the local
senior citizens club, and that it can
have an additional use for other
community gatherings, but that
hasn't been decided for certain,
said Kim Nunberg, city auditor.
The council is in a "very prelimi-
nary" planning stage, said
Nunberg.
First, the city wants to deter-
mine what the costs involved
would he. Electrical costs are esti-
mated at $23,320, and plumbing
may cost $39,000. A cost figure for
the heating system hasn't yet been
determined, said Nunberg. Bids are

being sought until May 18 for the
labor that would be involved.
The project may also involve
installing sheetrock on the interior
and installing a suspended ceiling.
Sources of funding for the work
may be the city's building fund
and its sales tax fund, said
Nunberg.

Hardy announces meeting date
Howard Hardy, chairman of the N.D. State Wheat Commission.
announces that wheat experts from Scandinavia will follow a Philippine
wheat delegation into North Dakota next week. He added that the tour
manager for the Scandinavian delegation will be Henning Vontillius of
Rotterdam, grain consultant for the European office of Great Plains Wheat
Inc., which this state is affiliated with.
They will meet May 11-15, at Bismarck. The delegation from the
Philippines will be here from May 4 to 8, in both the Fargo and Bismarck
areas. Hardy was on an inspection trip in the Philippines last fall, and
Hardy thinks that country is an excellent potential market for wheat from
this state, and we hope to export more of this product there from now on.

something I could do anywhere,
without a lot of specialized equip-
ment.." She feels running provides
a great workout for the amount of
time she invests.

Jan Johnson of Sentinel Butte. She
