Lallie burns
This picture from the past was taken when the Peavey
Elevator building at Lallie was intentionally burned. Rudolph
Severinson of Devils Lake owns the photo and he wonders when this
occurred. The editor of this newspaper was there that day and also
took pictures, but the closest he can come to the date was in the
1960's or 1970's, or perhaps the 80's. Is that pinning it down, or
what?
Andersons dominate running events
Lindsay places 3rd at the Griak
Lindsay Anderson, a sophomore at Leeds High School, made an
impressive showing at the Roy Griak Invitational Cross-Country Meet
on the University of Minnesota campus September 25. She ended up not
only representing her school, but also her state. The Roy Griak
Invitational is considered to be the biggest cross-country meet in
the United States. Not only are there high schools that compete, but
also Division I, II and III colleges from across the country.
Lindsay competed in the 5K High School Gold Division, which is the
faster of the two high school division races. It is usually made up
of larger high schools. She competed against 43 teams and 373 other
runners and took third place. She came in at 18:09.92 minutes with a
5:51 pace. This is the first time Lindsay has run in a 5K
competition. In North Dakota, high school girls' cross-country teams
run a 4K race.
The only other two North Dakota schools to compete at the Griak were
Grand Forks Red River and Central High Schools. The entire North
Dakota delegation cheered Lindsay on and were probably as excited
about her win as her family was.
According to Esmond native Yvonne Rieger Westrum of Grand Forks, a
spectator at the event, "When she was probably about 150 yards from
the finish line, all you could hear was 'Go, Lindsay, Go' in a
ripple effect.
All the Red River runners and their parents were cheering for her."
George excels at Minot State
Lindsay wasn't the only Anderson to compete at the Griak. Her
brother, George, made an impressive showing. He placed 26th out of
411 runners. He ran in the 8 Kilometer Division II & III collegiate
race for Minot State.
His overall time was 26:19.24 minutes with a 5:18 pace.
Lindsay and George are the daughter and son of Greg and Karen
Anderson of Leeds.
Minot State University junior George Anderson transferred from the
University of Mary in the off-season.
Anderson, who started his career at the University of Mary, was
happy with the school, but decided he wanted a chance to perform in
the postseason.
The University of Mary is in a transition period to NCAA Division II
and isn't eligible for any postseason play.
The Marauders' loss was the Beavers' gain.
Anderson has excelled early on for the Beavers. Anderson has been
the top runner on the men's side in each of the first two meets.
"With transfers, it can go both ways," MSU head coach Stu Melby
said. "They can come in and understand what it takes to be a college
runner and it makes it easier. Some come in and have preconceived
ideas and attitudes and aren't accepting to how things are done . .
."
Anderson, who is originally from Leeds, has had to work slowly into
running shape. He was sidelined all of last season due to injuries
and is careful each time out.
"Melby has been careful with me so far," Anderson said. "I have
battled a shin problem so we have to take it easy at times."
Melby said, "I was recruiting (Anderson's sister) Krista, and George
was around the family. He never came up to me and said he wanted to
come to school. It wasn't until the spring that he contacted me."
Anderson said he misses the University of Mary, but he feels that
MSU is a good fit for him in his career.
"This has been great," he said of the return to MSU. "I felt like I
wanted to have something to work for for my last two years. I am
looking forward to running the postseason."

Visit one-room school
As part of their social studies class, Mrs. Simon's first graders
visited the one-room schoolhouse in Maddock which was built in 1901.
This country school was originally located seven miles southeast of
Maddock and closed its doors in the 1930s. The children were
welcomed to the school by Doris Ambers (in doorway) who shared her
experiences in a one-room school. The children readily recognized
changes that have occurred in the classroom.
They also visited the Maddock City Library and looked over the many
books and videos available to them. Librarian Priscilla Backstrom
showed them books of long ago and books of today in the stuffed
animal/puppet corner of the library. First grade class members at
Maddock are, left to right, front row, Akala Loughman, Gannon
Engkvist, Evan Eyl and Ethin Johnson. Back row:
Taylor Foss, Emily Sears, Lin Ella Pistol, Spencer Sears, Rebecca
