Dena Lela Feldmann
" BEACH - Dena Lela Feldmann,
88, of Beach, passed away at her
home on Friday, May 29, 2015. Vis-
itation was held 1-5 p.m. and 6-8
p.m. on Tuesday, June 2, at the Silha
Funeral Home in Beach. Visitation
was also held 1-2 p.m. at St Paul's
Lutheran Church. Dena's Funeral
Service was held at 2 p.m., Wednes-
day, June 3, at St. Paul's Lutheran
Church in Beach with P.astor Scott
Hojnacki officiating. Interment fol-
lowed at the Beach Lutheran Ceme-
tery. Silha Funeral Home of was
entrusted with the arrangements.
Dena began her life on April 7,
t927. on the family farm southeast
of Beach. She was born to Ernest
and Theresa (Luhr) Feldmann, the
youngest daughter of seven children.
She was baptized into Christ on May
15, 1927, at St. Paul's Lutheran
Church in Beach. Her confirmation
took place at the church in 1941.
Dena attended country school
near the farm until high school and
then went on to graduate from Beach
High School. As a girl growing up
on the farm, her artistic abilities
would not be stifled in that she made
her own brushes and paints from nat-
ural materials found on the farm. She
said that in later years that she could
never obtain a true, bright yellow
from flower petals or onion skins.
Her paintings are owned and appre-
ciated by many in the area and be-
yond, one residing in the
headquarters of the Hartford Insur-
ance Company. Dena's final painting
was found unfinished on her easel at
the time of her death.
After high school graduation,
Dena began working as a secretary
to Adin Miller, then superintendent
of Beach School District. When
Adin left his position later to open an
insurance office in downtown Beach,
Dena went along as his secretary and
worked in the office for many years.
At the death of Adin Miller, the busi-
ness was willed to Dena. She contin-
ued to work there until her retire-
ment in 1992, when Dakota
Insurance was sold to Bobby Olstad.
Dena was the faithful daughter,
staying at home to care for her par-
ents until their deaths. Later, she
spent many years helping and caring
for her eldest sister, Edna Strum,
until she moved to Colorado, and
her eldest brother, Leonhard, until
his passing. She enjoyed many years
of gardening, as can be observed in
her beautiful lawn and garden. Dena
also enjoyed activities such as knit-
ting and crocheting for cancer pa-
tients, reading and many crafting
projects.
Dena was preceded in death by
her parents, Ernest and Teresa: her
sisters, Edna, Irene and Cora; her
brothers, Leonhard and Lawrence;
as well as several nieces and
nephews.
Dena is survived and will be
dearly missed by her brother, Ervin
Feldmann, 94, of Yorkton,
Saskatchewan, Canada; a sister-in-
law, Alma Zamzow of California;
and numerous nieces, nephews,
cousins and friends.

West Nile virussurveillance under way
On June 1, the North Dakota De-
partment of Health - in conjunction
with several local, state, federal and
private agencies - began West Nile
virus surveillance activities for
2015.
Surveillance includes reporting
and testing sick horses and other do-
mestic animals, trapping and testing
mosquitoes, monitoring illness in
humans, and reporting and testing
dead birds.
"West Nile virus is transmitted
through the bite of an infected mos-
quito." said Michelle Feist, program
manager with the North Dakota De-
partment of Health. "In North
Dakota, the greatest risk for West
Nile virus transmission occurs dur-
ing the months of July and August
when the Culex tarsalis mosquito,
the mosquito that transmits the dis-
ease, is more abundant."
Most people infected with West
Nile virus experience no symptoms
or have only mild symptoms, such
as fever and headache. The more se-
rious form of the illness, West Nile
neuroinvasive disease, can cause
symptoms of high fever, severe
headache, stiff neck, altered mental
status and death. People over 50 or
those who have underlying health
issues are at greater risk for devel-
oping the neuroinvasive disease
than others.
In 2014, the NDDoH received re-
ports that 23 people tested positive
for West Nile virus. Of those 23,
eight were hospitalized and one
died. West Nile infection was also
identified in one cow, one horse and
two moose. There are no vaccina-
tions that protect people from the
virus, and there are no specific treat-
ments for the disease.
Officials cannot predict the
severity of any given year's West
Nile virus season. The intensity of
West Nile virus activity depends on
a variety of factors, including the
weather, the number of birds and
mosquitoes that maintain and spread
the virus, and human behavior. It is
important to note that since surveil-
lance began in 2002, a human case
has been reported in every county in
the state.
NDDoH recommends residents
take these precautions to avoid mos-
quito bites:
• Use insect repellents containing
ingredients registered with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency -
such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535,
oil of lemon eucalyptus (or PMD) or
permethrin - and apply according to
manufacturer's instructions
• Wear protective clothing, such
as long-sleeved shirts and pants
• Limit outdoor activities be-
tween dusk and dawn when mosqui-
toes are most likely to bite
• Eliminate stagnant water in
containers around homes where
mosquitoes can lay their eggs (such
as buckets, flowerpots, old tires,
wading pools and birdbaths)
• Keep the grass around your
home trimmed

Nile virus, contact Michelle Feist,

BLM extends comment
period on oil, gas rules
Myrna Farstveet
BEACH - Funeral services for
Myrna Farstveet, 77, of Beach, were
at 9:30 a.m., Friday, May 29, 2015,
at First Lutheran Church in Beach,
with Pastor Dana Holter officiating.
Interment followed in the Beach
Lutheran Cemetery.
Visitation for Myrna was from 6-
8 p.m., Thursday, May 28, at First
Lutheran Church with a prayer serv-
ice being held at 7 p.m. Vis!tation
continued one hour prior to the time
of service on Friday.
Myrna passed away Monday,
The Bureau of Land Manage-
ment (BLM) says it is extending the
public comment period on its Ad-
vance Notice of Proposed Rulemak-
ing (ANPR) to seek public comment
on potential updates to BLM rules
governing oil and gas royalty rates;'
rental payments, lease sale mini-
mum bids, civil penalty caps and fi-
nancial assurances.
Notice of the two-week exten-
sion, which extends the comment
period deadline to June 19, 2015,
was published in the Federal Regis-
ter on June 3, 2015.
Modernizing the BLM's royalty
rate structures can provide greater
flexibility, especially given the dra-
matic growth of oil development on
public and tribal lands, where pro-
duction has increased in each of the
past six years, and combined pro-
duction was up 81 percent in 2014
versus 2008, the BLM says. Poten-

tial changes to BLM's regulations
would also respond to concerns ex-
pressed by the Government Ac-
countability Office (GAO),
Interior's Office of Inspector Gen-
eral, and others that the BLM's ex-
isting rules lack-flexibility and could
be causing the United States to forgo
significant revenue to the detriment
of taxpayers.
The GAO has repeatedly con-
cluded that the BLM's regulations
do not provide a reasonable assur-
ance that the public is getting ap-
propriate fair share of the revenue
from these resources. The BLM's
current rules lack the flexibility to
offer new competitive leases at
higher royalty rates.

Beach.
Myrna Eileen Orstad was born on
Dec. 6, 1937, in Beach, the daughter
of Olaf and Laura Orstad. She grew
up on the family ranch near Golva
and went to the Strahon School for
two years. Because of the distance
required to attend school, Olaf built
a little house in Golva so the girls
could attend school in town. Myrna
began attending third grade in
Golva. Each weekend, the girls rode
in the horse and buggy to visit their
parents back on the ranch. She grad-
uated from high school in 1954 and
went on to attend Billings Business
School for one year. Myrna returned
to Beach to have surgery to remove
her appendix. Later, she was offered
a job by Walt Bratton to work for the
Beach newspaper. It was during this
time that she met Keith Farstveet at
the Shamrock Club while out with
friends. On June 12, 1956, Keith
and Myrna were united in marriage
at First Lutheran Church in Beach.
The couple made their home on a
farm just across the Montana line for
eight years before settling on the
Samuel's farm near Golva where
they made their home and raised
their family. In 1994, Myrna and
Keith decided to semi-retire and
moved to their current home in
Beach.
Myrna loved to play the piano,
dance and play solitaire on the com-
puter. She rarely sat out on an op-
portunity to dance a two-step, waltz,
polka or the jitterbug. She was a
fabulous cook. For over 50 years,
Myrna hauled meals to the fields
during harvest season. She enjoyed
making lefse with her sisters-in-law,
knitting and crocheting. Myrna kept
busy doing things she loved. She
was a very talented writer and spent
countless hours writing poetry for
pleasure or by request for special oc-
casions. Myrna stayed active teach-
ing Sunday school at First Lutheran
