Byron Dorgan will be the keynote speaker for the 23rd Annual Governor's Conference on North Dakota History on Oct. 28-29 at the Bismarck Civic Center. Dorgan's address, entitled "The Long, Tough Battle Between Mother Nature and North Dakota," will be delivered Friday night, October 28. The theme of this year's conference is Too Much or Too Little: The Story of Water in North Dakota. The conference is sponsored by the state's history agency, the State Historical Society of North Dakota (SHSND). It is being held at the Civic Center due to the expansion construction at the North Dakota Heritage Center. Dorgan served in the U.S. Senate and ' the U.S. House of Representatives for 30 years before retfring in January 2011. He has long been a leader on water issues including • flood control, water man- agement, water conservation, and especially the development of major rural water projects through- out North Dakota. While in the Senate, he also served as chairman of the Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee. Governor Jack Dalrymple will open'the Coiiference Friday morn- ing. Other featured speakers during th6 two:day event include former Governor• Allen Olson, who will di,gcuss his life-long involvement with water impacts, issues, and reg- ulations in North America; American Indian relations specialist and retired National Park Service superintendent Gerard Baker, who will speak about the impacts of too much and too little water on the Mandan and Hidatsa peoples; Adjutant General and former State Engineer David Sprynczynatyk; State Engineer Todd Sando; and Hat Tips By Dean Meyer The crossbar near the top of the pole shows the water level in 1870 at 1,437 feet in the Devils Lake area. By 1880 the water level, as shown on the next crossbar, had fallen to 1,433 feet. Twenty years later, in 1900, the crossbar at the second from the bottom shows a lake level of 1,424 feet. Ten years later the level had fallen to 1,421 feet, and by the time this was taken, the lake had receded to the background of the photograph. If this pole were still standing today, the top crossbar would be more than 17 feet under water.

"The whole point of the confer- ence is to provide North Dakotans with the historical context of waterY said Erik Holland, confer- ence coordinator and curator of education for the SHSND. "Water is so important to the people of out' state. It affects both how we live on the land and how we use the land. It's a very different conference this year. We are expanding our audi- ence, voice and concepts." Lunchtime presenters include Arch Ellwein on Friday, portraying legendary Missouri River steam- boat captain Grant Marsh, and cow- boy poet Bill Lowman on Saturday, reflecting on water issues.

Ranchers fined, ordered to send cattle out of state BISMARCK, -.'The North Dakota state Board of Animal Health (BOAH) has fined two Morton County ranchers $5,000 and ordered them to send 78 cow- calf pairs they recently purchased to another state for failing to meet North Dakota's importation requirements. Donald and Brandon Hatzenbuhler, Solen, bought the animals from a South Dakota deal- er. Brandon Hatzenbuhler told a BOAH investigator that he believed the cattle were from South Dakota, but documentation later proved all but one of the animals were from Texas. He said he was away from his ranch when the cat- tle were delivered and was never presented the required health cer- tificate. Several states, including North Dakota, require additional tubercu- losis and brucellosis testing of cat- tle from Texas. The BOAH, meeting Tuesday by conference call, unanimously approved member Nathan Boehm's motion that Hatzenbuhlers be required send all the cattle out of North Dakota within the next two weeks, and that they be fined $5,000. All but $500 of the fine is waived on condition of no further violations within the next three years. The cattle are now quarantined on Hatzenbuhler's property.

A wonderful novel about an old man who hooks this fish...Heck, you've all read it. And if you haven't, I don't want to ruin the story for you. I can't write like Hemingway. And I can't really fish like the old man. So the title to my little story is "Three Old Men and a Lake". Just happened the last couple days. You see, I ws up at Watford City announcing a rodeo over the weekend. Shirley was seeding cover crop on recently harvested ground and, when conditions were right, she would bale some second cutting 'alfalfa. The rodeo was Friday and Saturday. Now, what kind of devious person would leave his wife home, md tell her the rodeo was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. See, one extra day. A day to go fishing for the first time in a couple years. So, we get this deal rolling. To pro- tect the innocent, I will just call the other old men Doug and Eric. Eric has a boat. A big boat. A big boat with all kinds of fishing equipment. He also has a cabin. A well stocked cabin. Because, besides being a fisherman, he owns a bar. Bar owners have well stocked cabins. Trust me. I know. So Doug and I sneak out of Wafford in the middle of the night. We get to Eric's cabin, sit out on the deck, smoke cigars (Cuban'?), sip on a refreshment, and plan out strategy for the early morning. By 3 a.m.. we had a plan. We would hit the lake before daylight, limit out, eat a big meal of steak and walleye, and be home for chores. Wrong. Things didn't go quite that quick. We hit the water about eleven. One of the largest lakes in the uni- verse. And no other boats on the lake. A good sign? Everyone had limited out and gone in. A bad sign? The fish weren't biting. Being old and senile, we figured the fbrmer. As we neared the honey hole, the bragging began. We were excellent fisherman. Because of the supreme confidence and foggy memory old men have, a wager was made. Five dollars for the first fish. Five dollars for the most fish. Five dollars for the biggest fish. Five dollars tbr the small- est fish. You know, when you read those fishing reports, they often say the fish- ing is slow. Dang right. Real slow. We fished shallow. We fished deep. We fished fast. We fished slowly. We pulled bottom bouncers. We jigged. We pulled crank bait. We used dyna- mite. We tried smelt and frogs and worms and minnows and hotdogs and ham and cheese and bits of steak mar- inated in Jack Daniels. We tried WD- 40 on our bait. It was slowwww. Eric and Doug jumped in for a swim. The lake went up two inches and the coast guard had reports of two beached whales! Or maybe great whites! I declined from swimming. Someone had to stay on board to push the distress signal. The boat was so big; it had a black box like airplanes do. You just push this little button and the coast guard will come. Eric threat- ened to shoot me if I touched that but- ton. In fact, by evening, after I caught . the first fish. The biggest fish. The most fish. And the littlest fish, he threatened to shoot me anyway ! Finally, the sun went down and we headed in to shore. The sunset was great and the m×m was coming up over the buttes on the ea,st side of the lake. A big, golden harvest moon. No dust. No traffic. No wind. Just three old men. Good fi'iends. Good weather. And one, one stinking fish. A forty- dollar fish! That was about three dol- lars per inch. Life is good!
