and Effie continued living in her
home until the fall of 2005. She
then relocated to an assisted living

After being the family matriarch
for so many years, it is heart-
wrenching for the remaining family
and friends to even think of no
longer having her strong presence
in our lives. Nonetheless. it is
comforting to know that her trials
and suffering on earth are over. We
can even smile while thinking of
the many happy reunions she is
now experiencing on the "other
side."
Effie is survived by her three
children. Jeanne "Jeanie" (Vern)

(Susan) Taylor of Florence. Ore.:

The North Dakota Department
of Emergency Services has set up a
hotline for North Dakota citizens
who have sustained damage to pri-
vate residences because of this
spring's flooding.
The purpose of the hotline is to
find out the scale of flood-damaged
homes. The call center number is toll
free: 1-877-212-0316. Hotline hours
are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time.
The hotline applies to residents
throughout the state, including
those in the area who are dealing
with the problem of water seeping
into their basements, or are dealing
with a high water table, according
to Brenda Frieze, Golden Valley
County emergency manager.
Callers will be directed through
a series of simple questions. The
call should only take a few minutes.
Those impacted will also be
referred to volunteer agencies that
are providing assistance, if neces-
sary.

"n lion sp
By Jane Cook
Reporter
At approximately 7 p.m..
Monday. May 2. a mountain lion
was seen on the southeastern edge
of Beach.
Maria Morin was out taking a
walk when she saw the large cat just
about 50 to 75 yards from her. The
sighting took place just on the
southeast side of town near two
abandoned houses, and an old, worn
out white fence.
Morin said she heard and saw
what appeared to be two Labrador
dogs barking at the animal, with the
wild cat watching the dogs.
Until more is known, residents
would be wise not to walk alone in
that area of town.
