By Richard Volesky
Editor/Reporter

in North Dakota grew to $1.61 bil-
lion for a 41.5 percent growth in
total taxable sales and purchases
compared to the same months in
2011, according to the most recent
State Tax Department report.
"The second quarter report for
taxable sales and purchases illus-
trates continued momentum in
North Dakota's economic growth
that is spread across nearly all major
industry sectors," Cory Fong, state
tax commissioner, said in a prepared
statement. "Consumer confidence
remains strong and businesses are
growing - wholesale trade is robust
and manufacturing is on the rise.
And just about everywhere you go
across North Dakota, there are large
construction projects in progress."
Figures for the second quarter of
2011 as compared to the second
quarter of 2012 for area counties
include:
• Adams, $5.3 million, a decrease
of 2.56 percent
• Billings, $8.4 million, an
increase of 17.03 percent
• Bowman, $15.58 million, an
increase of 6.69 percent
• Dunn, $10.85 million, an
increase of 64.32 percent
• Golden Valley, $5.6 million, a
decrease 2.94 percent
• Hettinger, $3.05 million, an
increase of 16.22 percent
• McKenzie, $56.31 million, an
increase of 77.96 percent
• Slope, $243,772, and increase
of 3.09 percent
• Stark, $299.42 million, an
increase of 61.10 percent
Of the 50 largest cities, the
biggest percentage increases for the
second quarter of 2012 include New
Town, up 185 percent; Tioga, up
136.2 percent; Cavalier, up 116.5
percent; Watford City, up 74.6 per-
cent; and Williston, up 57.9 percent.
Of the 50 largest cities, the
biggest percentage decreases
include Kenmare, down 30 percent;
Walhalla, down 26.5 percent; Park
River, down 12.4 percent;
Casselton, down 12.3 percent; and
Ashley, down 11.1 percent, accord-
ing to the tax department's report.
Farmers now eligible for USDA disaster emergency loans
Farmers in Golden Valley
County who suffered physical and
production losses because of
drought conditions occurring July
31,2012, and continuing may now
apply for Farm Service Agency
emergency loans, Farm Loan
Manager Wanda Hoherz says.
The county is eligible to
receive EM loans because it was
declared as a primary or contigu-
ous county in North Dakota that
was designated a major disaster
area. The time allowed to file EM
loan applications is eight months.
For Golden Valley County farm-
ers, this means the deadline for
applications to be filed is May 27,
2013.
Although the authority for loan
processing has been given, all
potential EM loan applicants must
be aware that they will be unable
to complete an application for loan
processing until after all informa-
tion for their farm operation per-
taining tO actual physical losses
and production losses, crop insur-
ance benefits, and to any other
crop production compensation, is
available and can be documented.
Farmers who suffered a quali-
fying production loss of at least 30
percent from normal and are
unable to get credit elsewhere,
may apply for reduced interest
loans to cover up to 100 percent of
their losses. Farm Service Agency
emergency loans currently carry a
2.125 percent interest rate. To
qualify for physical losses, there
does not have to be a qualifying
loss amount.
Farmers who think they are eli:
gible may apply for assistance at
the FSA Office at 2934 4th Ave.,
West, Room A, Dickinson, ND,
58601-2633.

New hosp,ital breaks
ground in Dickinson
By News/Pioneer Staff
DICKINSON - Ground was bro-
ken on Friday, Oct. 5, for a new hos-
pital and medical office building for
the region.
The St. Joseph's Hospital build-
ing will be located in west
Dickinson in the area of Exit 59 of
Interstate 94, or near the intersec-
tion of Fairway Street and 23rd
Avenue West.
The office building and hospital
are to be interconnected and will
function as a medical center on a
40-acre campus. The new hospital
facility will include 25 acute-care
rooms, labor and delivery rooms,
nursery, operating rooms, a CT scan
and MRI, an emergency department
with 16 beds, including two trauma
bays. It will also include an ambu-
lance garage and helipad for heli-
copter services.
The medical office building will
be three stories and include an
ambulatory surgery center, rehabili-
tation center and urgent care clinic,
as well as a pharmacy, laboratorY
services and clinical space for 40
health care providers.
In 2008, hospital, state and local
officials worked with Catholic
Health Initiatives (CHI), the organi-
zation to which the hospital
belongs, to develop a plan enabling
St. Joseph's Hospital to address its
debt and secure a federal critical
access hospital designation, which
provides higher Medicare reim-
bursement rates.
The plan included an infusion of
$500,000 from CHI and a $940,000
grant from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services. The
funding enabled the nearby
Richardton Memorial Hospital,
which held the area's only available
critical access designation, to obtain
skilled nursing beds and transition
to a skilled nursing facility.
Richardton Memorial Hospital then
relinquished its critical access hos-
pital designation, which St. Joseph's
Hospital applied for and secured.
The medical office building is to
be completed in the fall of 2013 and
the hospital in the fall of 2014.
The hospital and medical office
will cover about 178,000 square
feet.
Folks from Golva were well
represented at the 80th birthday
party for Donna Sygulla. Her sis-
ters Janice from Golva, and Marlys
from Green River, Wyo., planned
the event that was held in the
activity room at the Golden Valley
Manor in Beach on Tuesday.
Donna's brothers, Buzz from
Beach, and Larry and his wife
Judy from Glendive, Marlys'
daughter Donna Kummer, and her
daughter Raine and baby from
Watford City, were in attendance
also. Donna Kummer is Donna
Sygulla's goddaughter.
On Saturday, several people
from Beach and Golva were in
Dickinson to watch the football
and volleyball games. Brannon
Davidson and Jacob Steiner from
Golva School play for the fifth-
and sixth-grade Beach Little Bucs
football team. Brandon Schulte is
also a member of the team. His
uncle Jerry and aunt Susan
Erlenbusch from Circle, and
grandparents and dad, Jim Schulte
from Golva, were on hand to cheer
him on. After the game (which by
the way, Beach won) Brandon and
his mother Susan enjoyed having
lunch with Jerry and Susan
Erlenbusch, and Larry and Shirley
Schulte.
At the same time that the Little
Bucs were playing football on the
Dickinson High practice field, the
varsity girls were competing in a
volleyball tournament in the
Dickinson High School gym.
There were 16 teams playing, and
the Beach team took fifth place.

and Kayla Howard are the three

Howard came from BSC in
Bismarck to watch their sisters
play on the team.
Head cook at the Golva School,
Cathy Zook, recently featured a
"Grown In Golva Day" in her
lunch program. She served carrots
grown by Lori Howard and/or
Sheryl Fischer; squash grown by
Don Nistler, locally grown toma-
toes, and apples from the Bostyan
apple tree. The students and staff
appreciated having a nice choice
of fruits and vegetables.
Edie Abraham from Beach
accompanied Michelle Hardy and
Christine Finneman from Golva to
Bismarck last weekend to attend a
gathering in honor of Dusty and
Stephanie Abraham and baby
daughter Ruby from Colorado.
The gathering was held at the

her husband Brian Black. There
were 37 little children present.

time with her daughters Whittney
