Farm Credit Services of Mandan

A check for more than $27,000
< was recently presented to the Great
Plains Food Bank during a meeting
of North Dakota Farmers Union's
Board of Governors.
The money was raised by county
Farmers Union organizations
through various fund-raisers and
donations to help build a new re-
...
gional service center in Bismarck
that will better serve 28 central and
western North Dakota counties.
With a goal of raising $25,000
toward the project, Farmers Union
President Mark Watne said he was
pleased with the effort. "It's a great
: humanitarian gesture and another
level of involvement in the food
in
chain from our farm and ranch
members," he said. "They under-
stand the importance of getting
their product to market and into the
mouths of hungry people."
The Great Plains Food Bank
(GPFB) is the state's only food
bank. GPFB has a statewide distri-
bution system that includes a net-
work of more than 228 food
pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and
other charitable feeding programs
in 117 communities.
According to GPFB statistics,
one in nine people in North Dakota
and Clay County, Minn., sought
food assistance last year- 36 per-
cent were children and 1 l percent

seniors. Because most food is do-
nated and volunteers provide labor
cost savings, GPFB is able to pro-
vide four meals for everY charitable
dollar it receives.
Watne said one of the critical as-
pects of the $1.1 million facility in
Bismarck will be the recovery of
more perishable food and increased
efficiency in delivery by having
greater geographic access to the
state.
There is nothing like fresh picked
produce. Come and visit the Rolling
Hills Farm Farmers Market. We will be
at the Gazebo park on the corner of
Central and Main in Beach on
Thursdays from 4:00-7:00pm. Please
visit our website for the start date.
See you there!
We are also offering art/craft activity
classes this summer. Classes include

Realities and myths about North Dakota newspapers
As a trade association for the 90 North Dakota daily and weekly
newspapers, we want to address in simple language the truth about
newspapers in North Dakota.
• Your local newspaper is here for the long run. Some pundits and so-
called experts are already writing the obituary for the newspaper industry. We say:
Hot so fast. Newspapers march on not only as news leaders and innovators, but as
stalwart businesses in communities they serve, contributing to the well-being of
Main Street and North Dakota.
• Newspapers remain a dominant media source in North Dakota.
Newspapers in this state have an estimated readership of more than 500,000, plu~ a
growing on-line audience. 9 out of 10 North Dakotans read their local newspaper.
Nationwide, more than 104 million adults read a newspaper every day, except on
on Sunday when readership grows to 1 t 5 million. That's more people than watch
the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million), or the evening news
(65 million).
• The biggest reason newspapers are read is because you rely on
your newspaper to know what's happening in your community.
Obituaries, weddings, high school sports, city hall, babies, arrests, yard sales, church
meetings, little league baseball, community events, engagements, town business,
government public notices, even the ads ... the list goes on and on. Your newspaper
connects you with your community. No other medium provides what newspapers
provida. (Ever see obituaries on TV?)
• It's a myth that the Internet and other sources will provide news if
North Dakota newspapers aren't here to do the job.
The reality is that newspapers make a larger investment in newsgathering than any
other medium. In fact, most of the news you get from other media originated with
reporting done by newspapers. Sometimes broadcasters read the news directly from
the newspaper!
This is a time when newspapers are transforming. The industry is
adapting and moving forward. We look forward to the future! We
look forward to providing news, information and advertising that
help connect and build the communities we serve.
