What everyone needs to know about high blood pressure

By Heather Wasness
igh Blood Pressure, or hypertension, has become a serious health problem. One third of all adults in the U.S. and one-quarter of the worlds population has been diagnosed with this disease. Almost everyone knows someone with high blood pressure, but what does it really mean? Measuring blood pressure involves two numbers, a top number and a bottom number. e top number is the systolic pressure, which measures the pressure when the heart contracts (squeezes). e bottom number, or diastolic pressure, is the pressure when the heart relaxes. Only one of these numbers needs to be elevated for a diagnosis of high blood pressure. ere are di erent stages of hypertension. Normal blood pressure is anything below 120/80. Pre-hypertension is 120-139/80-89. Medication is not prescribed at this stage, but it is likely that it will be in the future. Stage 1 hypertension is classi ed as 140-159/90-99, and Stage 2 as 160/100 or higher. Once a person is diagnosed with hypertension, it is important to take medication as prescribed. Hypertension is the number one risk factor for stroke, and a major risk factor for heart disease, kidney failure, and heart failure. One-quarter of people 512 East Main Street stop taking their medicaValley City, ND 58072 tion a er six months, and one-half stop within one year.

tired. Sometimes people just forget to take their medications, while others have trouble with the cost. Any of these issues should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist. It is likely that changes can be made to nd a medication that works for di erent lifestyles. If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, there are some lifestyle changes that should be considered along with medication. Losing weight, exercising, quitting smoking, and changing diet can all help to lower blood pressure. Eating more fruits and vegetables and lowering the amount of alcohol consumed can all help, but lowering the amount of salt, or sodium, consumed may be most important. Blood pressure can be increased by eating too much sodium. Most people should have under 2300 milligrams, or about 1 teaspoon of salt per day. If you have high blood pressure or are over the age of 40, it is recommended that you eat less than 1500 millligrams per day. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly a er diagnosis. It may be a good idea to have a home monitor from a brand
like Omron or Lifesource. ere are di erent types of monitors to choose from. An automatic cu will in ate by itself, while a manual cu has to be in ated by pumping a bulb. Wrist monitors are also available, but they are more expensive and may not be as consistent. Fingertip monitors should not be used because they are not reliable. In order to take your blood pressure properly, you should take it at least 30 minutes a er eating, exercising, or smoking. Sit quietly for a 10 minutes, then sit up straight with both feet at on the oor. Your shirt sleeve should be rolled up and arm resting on a at surface with palm up.

Mix seeds of a few varieties together and enjoy their di erent colors and textures. Besides di erent types of leaf lettuce, consider trying Buttercrunch Bibb lettuce or a type of romaine. ey will add more crunch and avor to your salad. Maybe some arugula, too.

Who are your heroes?

D
o you have any heroes? Any people to whom you have looked up to and admired? Most of us can recall a few people that we believed were worth listening to and watching as they went about their lives. As children we tried to emulate our heroes in every aspect of life. We might have tried to speak the way they did and wore what they were wearing. As we grow up, we o en become aware of the failings of these people and perhaps are a little more speci c in what we try to copy from these heroes. By The Rev. In Hebrews 11 we have a chapter full Dennis Norby of Heroes of the Faith. In this chapter we have listed out the faithful activities of people such as Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. In these men, and many others in this chapter, we have heroes who can encourage us and for whom we can give thanks to God. We have a very speci c aspect of their lives li ed up to us to emulate: their faith. When we turn to Hebrews 12:1 it says, Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. So for you and I today, who are living by faith in Jesus Christ, we have a bunch of heroes surrounding us. e memories and stories of faithful men and women are a blessing to us because it shows us that God strengthens and helps sinful people. e faithful who have gone before us dont give us strength (God

Himself does that), but they are in a sense, lining the streets as we run our race, yelling Keep Going! or Dont Give Up! We will be very disappointed if in running our race we look to these heroes for strength and help. ey dont give faith; it has been given to them. e writer of Hebrews continues in v.2 saying, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. As we run this race, the agonizing struggle we are in, we are not to focus on the people around us. We have a tendency to do this. We o en look at what others are doing, whether good or bad. But we are told to look to Jesus, that is, to turn our attention away from everything else and to focus on one thing, Jesus. Who is this Jesus? He is the author, or one who begins our faith. And He is the perfecter, or nisher, of our faith. Jesus is the one who endured the cross so that sinful people can be forgiven and have their sins washed away. Jesus knew the shame of the cross yet allowed Himself to be cruci ed anyway so that we could be called children of God. So our heroes in the faith cheer us on, and the Savior Jesus Christ strengthens us. Look to the Savior Jesus Christ He will strengthen you when you are weak and bring you to a faithful end of your race. Amen.

Zion Free Lutheran Church 125 Years Ago

here was quite a crowd at Zion Free Lutheran Church last Sunday. Church members and friends had gathered to celebrate Zions 125th Anniversary as well as the churchs recent remodeling. e old original structure is pretty much intactour ancestors would be proud. What is now Zion Free Lutheran Church was organized in July of 1888 as Zion Skandinaviske Evangeliske Lutheran Minighed. (Sorry, I would like to have provided the English translation of Minighed but even Google couldnt come up with it.) e original church was built in 1904presumably up until that time the congregation had met at schools or in members homes. Zion Free Lutheran Church was one of By Dennis my family churches. My great-uncle Albert Stillings (Red) Axelson and his wife Edna are buried at the Zion Free Lutheran cemetery, and the Axelson family farm, currently owned by my cousin Paul Stenshoel, is located scarcely a mile to the northwest of the church. Paul, the family genealogist and local taphologist, informs me that the very rst
person buried at the Zion cemetery (1896) was a relative by the name of Martha Ellengson; also, that another relative, Mathilde Jacobson, was the rst person to wed in the Zion church when she married Ole J. Moe. Had there not been unforeseen complications, my wife Cathryn and I would have married at Zion in 2001.
A forgotten cemetery
e church possesses an exceptionally beautiful prairie setting. I have driven by many times and have stopped to walk among the gravestones and meditate on memories of relatives buried there, both recently and long ago. One might say that Zion cemetery has a small satellite

cemeterywithout grave markers, buried, plowed over, planted and all but forgottenat the southwestern corner of Section 15 of Hobart Township. Here is part of its story: A er the initial organization of the Zion Free Lutheran church in 1888, discussion turned toward a permanent churchyard. Ole Anderson owned land in Section 15, and was asked to hold out two acres with the promise that the congregation would build a church on the site within ve years. e churchyard was to be established in the very southwestern corner of Section 15. e ve-year time limit expired, so this did not happen. A er the Great Depression, the old idea of a church and cemetery in Dennis Stillings Photographs Section 15 of Hobart TownA prairie memorial stone for the pioneer graves ship had been pretty much located nearby.

Is Dickinson State in danger Is it time to consider a of losing accreditation? one-house legislature

If Im Dickinson State, I would be nervous, Carl Butch Antolini, editor of West Virginias Register-Herald, was quoted as saying in a recent newspaper article. Based on what our experience was down here, I dont think anybody at all believed for a minute that they were going to have their general accreditaBy Rob tion pulled. Some people Port thought that the nursing program would be shut down, but nobody thought the entire accreditation would be pulled. It was just incredible. Antolini was discussing the closure of Mountain State University in West Virginia by the Higher Learning Commission which yanked accreditation for the institution a er problems were found in the schools nursing program. MSUs experience should serve as a cautionary tale for Dickinson State University. e comments were news because, a year and a half a er a state audit found hundreds of phony degrees issued to foreign students, Dickinson State University is still facing a loss of accreditation from the HLC. e commission is slated to take up the matter in November, and if they
OPINION: ROB PORT
OPINION: OMDAHL
yank accreditation, North Dakota could be stuck with a constitutionally-mandated school thats not able to carry out any sort of academic mission. e HLC will no doubt weigh the states handling of the matter in their decision about DSUs accreditation, and this observer isnt sure that handling re ects well on the state. ere seems to be more e ort put into moving past the scandal than exploring how it happened, and holding those responsible accountable. ere have been no criminal charges brought in the case to date, and the only person held accountable in any direct way was former President Richard McCallum (last seen applying for an administrative position at a college in Florida). But theres another perspective worth exploring, which is the role the states constitutional mandate for the existence of eight universities played in the problems. ese universities (of which DSU is one) must exist, by law. Because they exist to satisfy law, and not organic demand for education, there is no pressure to keep them lled with students. Its not hard to see that pressure leading to the ill-fated decision for Dickinson State to engage Chinese recruiters to bring
PORT: 22
ith the proposal by the Legislature of a constitutional amendment to replace the present 8-memberBoard of Higher Education with a 3-member commission, North Dakota legislators apparently think that having fewer people involved in governance would result in better decision While the premise is disputable, perhaps this is the time to bring up a reform that would downsize and improve state government while also reducing the cost. Its time to take another look at the advantages of a one-house legislature, something we havent done for 40 years. e unicameral has performed quite well in Nebraska since it went in operation in 1937. e arguments for the one-house legislature are even more valid today than they were when presented to the voters of Nebraska in the 1930s. ere are several advantages, any one of which is persuasive. More representative:A one-house legislature of 80 members elected from 80 districts would better represent the grass roots.Eighty districts would bring members much closer to their constituents than the present 47 districts. We would no longer have western districts larger than
some states. Eliminate duplication: e Equal Protection clause of the 14thAmendment requires that both houses of state legislatures represent equal numbers of people so that North Dakota senators and representatives, elected from the same districts, now represent the same people. Eliminate buckpassing:Aswe saw in the By Lloyd Omdahl lastweeks of the recent legislative session, the two houses spent much of their time passing the hot potatoes to each other. e buckpassing enables legislators to go home and blame the other house whenever they are confronted by irate constituents. ere is no buck-passing in a one-house system. Greater accountability:By eliminating the buck-passing, legislators would become directly accountable for their own voting records. We keep asking for more accountability in state agencies, schools, cities and counties. ere is no reason we shouldnt have more accountability in the legislature

NORTH DAKOTA OUTDOORS
Wet cycle not good for waterfowl

ith more than four decades behind me, sometimes 20 years seems like a long time, and sometimes it seems like yesterday. ats how I feel about the summer of 1993, and specifically July 1993, when much of By North Dakotas Doug Leier landscape went through a dramatic change from dry to wet. Just ahead of my senior year in college, I was working a summer temporary position with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Kulm Wetland Management District. In previous summers, with stops at Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Valley City Wetland Management District, and my time in college at Bottineau, I spent plenty of time crisscrossing North Dakota, and probably thinking that the long-term drought since the early 1980s was just normal weather. I saw Devils Lake through binoculars from the eastern edge of the community of Minnewaukon, and literally walked across Hobart Lake west of Valley City. And it seems like yesterday, instead of 1991, that I could see, from I-94 near Driscoll, a rolling alkaline dust cloud blown up from the dry
bed of Long Lake several miles away. At the time, statewide discussions centered on drinking water and farm and ranch survival, while conversations at the State Game and Fish Department centered on maintaining access to Lake Oahe and Lake Sakakawea, dwindling duck populations, and small shing waters that might never support sh again. Checking historic lake levels, during 1993 Devils Lake was at around 1,422 feet mean sea level and the eastern part of the lake was in danger of winterkill with one more dry summer. And then everything changed. According to National Weather Service records, July 1993 was the wettest month ever recorded in much of North Dakota, not only up until that time, but since then as well. e thing that makes it seem like a long time ago, is that one exceedingly wet month wasnt just a temporary respite. Winter 1993-94 was one of the snowiest on record, and that was topped by winter 1996-97. With some dry years interspersed in the mid-2000s, we had three straight wet years again from 2009-11. Many large lake basins that were dry before 1993 had reached record water levels by summer 2011, and some of them have even more water in 2013. Devils Lake has now
inched into the Minnewaukon city limits, a full 30 feet higher than it was 20 years ago. e engul ng of homes, farmland, businesses and roads over this 20-year span are well documented, and should the cycle continue for another decade, who knows how much more water could accumulate. e in ux of new water, however, has also created hundreds of new shing opportunities in North Dakota, and turned around a declining continental duck population. NDGF Photograph North Dakota now boasts The influx of new water the past 20 years has created hundreds a record number of shing waters, and while still small of new fishing opportunities in North Dakota, and turned around in number compared to some a declining continental duck population. other states, the quality of shing YOUR ONLY LOCALLY OWNED PHARMACY for pike, walleye Try our Convenient Drive-Up and perch is atWindow for Prescription Services tracting a lot of attention.

have done some great gigs in my life. I have played with some of the nest musicians on some of the greatest stages but one moment stands out for me. It was about 20 years ago. My girls were in elementary school. By Josheph ey went to a small DeMasi country school which didnt have a music teacher so I would go in once a week as a volunteer and sing with the classes for an hour. It was something the kids really enjoyed and I got a lot of pleasure from it as well. At the end of the school year there was always what they called a prize giving and each class would perform. One year my middle daughter Alisas class decided that they wanted to perform a rock & roll song at the prize giving and they wanted me to lead them. ey choose the song Rockin Robin and I suggested that we put a band together to compliment their singing as I knew a few of the kids in the class played piano and guitar. I opened the band up to anyone who wanted to be in it. If you could play an instrument, great. If not, I put them on percussion and we ended up with 18 kids in the band.

Last year, nearly 86,000 hunters harvested 616,000 roosters. In 2007, more than 107,000 hunters took nearly 908,000 roosters. e number of resident hunters in 2012 was up 1 percent from 2011, while nonresident pheasant hunters increased 9 percent. Birds bagged per hunter decreased from 8.2 to 7.2, and each hunter spent an average of 5.4 days a eld.

North Dakota State University and its team of gardeners across the state have tested several Asian greens. e most popular Asian green among our gardeners has been tatsoi. It grows into a funny looking rosette - it looks like a group of green spoons stuck together in the ground. You will love its tastemild and crunchy. Sow it in May for a summer harvest or wait until early August and harvest it in fall. It will be especially mild in fall. Another interesting green is mizuna. Its leaves have deeply cut teeth and are beautiful. You can sprinkle some on top of your salad to give it a special look. e avor is extremely mild. If you want to add a little zip to your salad, sprinkle some cilantro leaves on them. Also called Chinese parsley, it is one of the most popular greens grown around the
BETWEEN THE ROWS: from 9 world.
ere are lots of other options, too. Bulls Blood beet leaves are purple. Harvest the leaves when they are young (21 days) and it will add color to your salad. Swiss chard is another great choice for baby greens. Although almost everyone agrees chard tastes terrible when it is mature, chard is mild and tender when harvested young. e colors in chard leaves are bright, bursting in shades of red, gold, and white. All these greens are easy to grow. Mix them together and enjoy a fancy salad this summer.

she wanted to play piano in the band. I thought she would want to play the guitar like me. She had never played piano before but I had an electronic keyboard and I taught her some simple parts by taping di erent colors on the keys she needed to play. e part wasnt very hard and she picked it up very quickly. We had many rehearsals leading up to our gig and the kids did a great job at the prize giving performance. I was surprised however that I was overcome with such joy and pride as here I was sharing the stage in front of a live audience with my 8 year old daughter. at is the one and only time I have ever performed with any of my kids and is certainly a moment I will treasure forever. I de nitely felt just as my brother did, as the proudest dad in the world. I never expected my kids to become musicians and follow in my footsteps. A er all, my dad always encouraged me to pursue what interested me and my parents were always supportive of my music. at is what I have tried to model for my children and I couldnt be prouder of all three of them. But I will never forget the one and only time my daughter Alisa and I shared the stage! So until next time, Ill see you from the stage.

the environment and the views alone were worth the ve hour drive from my home. Fish would be a bonus, and as Id nd out shortly as I crept along the shore of the bubbling ow, a very small concern. From behind a row of waist high purple owers which concealed my presence, I ipped a size 12 Krystal Shwapf into the middle of a small ri e and let it dri back against the grassy bank. My favorite search y bumped along the rippling ow until I felt a sharp tug. I set the hook into a small sh and it wriggled along the surface and quickly came to hand. It was a naturally produced brown, and a er a quick photo of my rst Wisconsin trout, it wiggled its way out of my grasp and into the water, darting back up to the edge of the sandstone bank. e rest is gravy, I said to Marty, as I checked my knot and recast my o ering. We shed the morning out, chasing a er wary schools of trout in the pools upstream from us. e only options in these areas where there was little cover, clear water, and the sun shining brightly overhead were to cast to either the front or back of each pool and try to pick a sh o without spooking the rest. I managed to land a nine-incher and lost a couple more in a shady run where I had seen sh rising to the tiny black gnats, which buzzed incessantly in my ears, but were kind enough not to bite. With the day heating up and a mile of river covered, we made our way back to the truck and headed to the nearby town of Boscobel for lunch. From there, we selected the Green River, on the advice of Martys co-worker, Luke, a y shing associate at the local Cabelas. A er our sandwiches, we hit the road, wandering our way up the various ridges and back down into the small hollows that housed the creeks and streams that made up Wisconsins portion of the Dri less region. On the Green, things were quiet until cattle moving upstream from the public shing area stirred the water. en, like Pavlovs dog, the trout in the river began splashing and rising on the items oating down with the grass and debris stirred up by the herd. I cast a small woolly bugger across the stream and let it oat down along some overhanging willows and was greeted by a strike. I landed the colorful ten-inch brown and slipped it back in the water. As I did, I lowered my rod tip and about three feet of tippet and leader into the water behind my y. e rod tip bounced, and as I released my rst sh a second was

on, inadvertently hooked in the muddy chaos before me. A nearly identical brown was quickly in hand and released, almost before I knew it had happened. I laughed as I recounted the occurrence to my friend. As the water cleared, the excitement before us calmed down. With sweat on our brows and the heat and humidity building, we called it a day. As we drove back, we planned our adventure for the following morning before I would have to return home. We agreed to try the small streams north of Prairie du Chien, but as we made our morning drive, we realized that many of the ows were fueled by rainwater, and the tiny bubbling springs werent enough to sustain them in the heat of midsummer. We drove further inland to a point where two small creeks joined, forming a ow that was sizeable in comparison to the small water we had seen up to that point. However, in some of the chutes, even I could have leaped over it. I worked a small pool below a series of small rock steps, and on my h cast I set the hook on a solid strike and a bigger brown trout cartwheeled out of the water and crashed down several feet away. Fish on, I exclaimed as the brown cleared the waters surface again, and a decent one too, I concluded, as it banked against the current, using the ow to its advantage. Marty swept in with the net, and a er a few last second evasive maneuvers, the sh found its way into the mesh. I held the sh up for a quick photo and released it back into the little stream. It darted o to the back of the pool and disappeared in the deepest part of the now slightly-stained water. We explored a little more before calling it a morning, content with the biggest sh of the weekend being our only one of the day. Youve got a lot of options in your little part of the world, I told Marty as we packed up our waders, Im sure by next year, youll have it all gured out, right down to when the hatches happen, I concluded. We both laughed, recounting the turkeys, doves, deer and the two large rivers lled with cat sh, sturgeon, bass and more that received the ow of the small waters we had been shing and the dozens of others which we have yet to explore. Many species, and many chances to create future memories were tucked away in the small valleys and treecovered draws in my friends new homein our outdoors.

ildlife populations were ourishing in 2006-07 when Conservation Reserve Program acres peaked at more than 3.25 million in North Dakota. Since then, as CRP acres have steadily declined, so has the overall harvest of game species. is is never more evident than with pheasant. According to statistics released by the State Game and Fish Department, while the number of pheasant hunters increased by 4 percent from 2011 to 2012,
2012 pheasant season summarized

overall harvest fell 10 percent. ere is a direct correlation between habitat and wildlife populations, and this is apparent when analyzing pheasant numbers, said Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. For instance, in 2007 habitat was at a premium, the pheasant population was strong and total number of hunters surpassed more than 100,000 for the rst time.

Did your ancestors play a role in developing this area D

id you know that in 1873, Barnes County was named Burbank County, not for the suburb in LA, but a er the governor of the Dakota Territory John A Burbank. He was removed from o ce when it was found he was building railroads with government or county money to build up his own fortune! Yes Virginia, gra existed then in Barnes County, It was then renamed to Barnes County a er Judge Alphonso Barnes of the First Judicial District of Dakota Territory. It was Barnes himself who reported Burbanks scam to Washington which lead to his removal. Apparently having the county named a er himself was his reward. So sometime whistle blowing does pay o and does more then just get the establishment against you. I dont know about you but knowing that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Nothing ever changes usually a er whistle blowing other then more problems for everyone, but it is By Lowell an option. Busching In 1883 there was a depression, but settlers kept coming to Barnes County despite a lack of money and poor crops. e depression lasted about 2 years, but the population kept rising.

NOW AND THEN
Grigson, the great English cookbook writer, during World War II, in order to encourage the consumption of carrots, one of the few foodstu s not in short supply, the British authorities spread the rumor that ghter pilots consumed vast quantities of carrots to enable them to see in the dark. And from that propaganda, countless mothers on both sides of the Atlantic have implored countless children to eat their carrots. Farm Fresh Fighters Today it is more o en nutritionists and physicians who implore us to eat our carrotsnot to enhance our vision but to enhance our general health. e carotenes in carrots and many other vegetables work their wonders by destroying oxygen free radicals. is anti-oxidant e ect helps ght cancers, enhance immune response, and protect cells against UV radiation. But when it comes to carotenes, not all carrots are created equal. One of the most widely overlooked factors behind variation in nutrient levels of vegetables is the variety, or cultivar, of the vegetable. Robert Shewfelt, a food scientist at the University of Georgia, reported that carotene levels in any given vegetable o en vary by a factor of 20, depending on the cultivar. And its usually your local farmers who grow the most nutritious cultivars. So get some great carrots, munch them whole, or try them in a soup, salad, or this light and lively slaw. You can make this light meal in minutes. Just grate the carrots, toss with oil and lemon juice, then put a heaping spoonful on a cracker, biscuit, or crusty, hot bread. Add another drizzle of olive

In fact, its not hard to see that pressure inspiring a lot of bad policy aimed at promoting enrollment. Consider the millions in tuition the universities give away every year. Tuition waivers are granted to students to encourage them to enroll, and the use of them has exploded. According to data obtained from the North Dakota University System, the total amount of tuition waived by the states universities has grown 337% since 2000.

No conference committees:A one-house legislature would eliminate the need for conference committees, the greatest shortcoming of the 2-house system. Conference committees are required to iron out di erences between the two houses. In these middle-of-thenight meetings, major provisions of bills are inserted or thrown out, without the opportunity for citizens to give additional testimony or correct misstatements. Richard Elkin, veteran legislator and former public service commissioner, once noted that the conference committees were the worst evil of all in the legislative process. In North Dakota, he observed, conference committees of only six persons three from each house decide the outcome of major legislation. In Nebraska, the one-house system has three readings and two hearings on bills, thereby allowing plenty of comment before nal passage. And there is no need for conference committees when one house is acting with full transparency andintensive media coverage. Better media coverage: e two-house system complicates media coverage. Two houses require twice as many committees and the media are forced to spread coverage across a wide range of activities. In the process, important information is missed. Citizen involvement:A simpli ed legislative system with better media coverage would enable citizens to interact with the legislature. More citizens could a ord one trip to Bismarck easier than two. Under the two-house system, unless ordinary citizens spend extraordinary time tracking bills, they can never be sure whether a bill has been killed, or passed, or in a chairpersons pocket. Reduce lobbyist in uence:A transparent legislative process with more intensive media coverage will reduce backroom deals and lobbyist manipulation now possible in a confusing two-house system.
