Imagine! Now try imagining committing 50 years to a single organization. Week in, week out, never missing a meeting. at's Howard Langemo, who was recently honored in a pin ceremony for his unswerving devotion to the Valley City Kiwanis Club. Yup, 50 years of perfect attendance! How great is that?

inter officially began in December, and except for a few days of normal cold, it didnt even feel like By Doug winter throughout Leier January. Except for people who thrive on snow activities, and businesses that cater to them, most of us have breathed a sigh of relief that we arent having a fourth straight hard Midwest winter that seemingly lasts six months. The mild start to winter is just what the doctor ordered for wildlife as well. Late winter or spring storms are still a threat, especially to pheasants, but to this point North Dakotas resident wildlife is not nearly so stressed as the last three years. Theres still more stress than in fall, but winter mortality is likely minimal so far. While winters positive benefits for wildlife have generated a lot of attention, the real good news is also coming from the fishing side of things. While ice formation on most lakes is not as far along as it normally is this time of year, ice anglers are making up for lost time. Instead of drifted over county roads and plugged section line trails leading to favorite fishing waters, anglers can get to a just about every lake in the state this winter. Lakes arent clogged with snow, so anglers can explore a bit as ice conditions permit. Fishing has been good so far, according to Greg Power, fisheries chief for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, and its probably only going to get better. Another benefit of an open winter like were experiencing this year, is a

Think
SIMONSON: From 6 my attention to the whir of the FL-8 and saw something that looked out of place. A large red blob had materialized on the circular screen, just below my offering. I jigged the rod to make sure that the object wasnt my spoon, and as I did, the red bar rose up toward it and paused about a foot below the yellow mark on the screen. I then ripped the spoon upward and the red mark exploded after it and I felt the fish whollop my offering. The drag on the reel began to scream, the ice rod was doubled over pointing straight down the hole and the fight was on. I went from watching the Vexilar, to looking down the hole, to loosening my drag. Occasionally, the red mark would zoom through the screen and then quickly disappear. Each time, the line was higher up on the sonars display. Finally, I saw the fish a large pike swim under the hole. My adrenaline surged and I cranked on the reel, attempting to steer its head toward the surface. Finally, the gaping, tooth-filled maw angled just right and I put the last few turns on the reel. I reached down and grabbed the northern behind the head and hoisted it out of the water. It was a five-pound pike, my first ever through the ice. My friends rumbled up in the pickup
shortly thereafter with a tank full of propane. I stepped outside the metal shack and held the fish up for them to see. That Vexilar is really cool, I said to Adam, as I explained how I saw, triggered and caught the fish with the help of his sonar unit. The next year, graduated and relocated back to North Dakota, my parents bought me one for Christmas, and that old FL-8 still ranks as one of the best gifts anyone has ever given me. A few years ago, I upgraded to an FL-20 and passed the old unit on to my brother, who still uses it to this day. Ive often said that a sonar device is only slightly more important than an auger when ice fishing, and I wouldnt leave home without one. Today, there are more brands, models and options to fit any anglers needs and budget than just the FL-8, which was the only unit available at the turn of the century. If you fish with any of them, youve probably had that ah-ha! moment on ice, seen what was once unviewable and learned how fish react to your presentations. As a result, you probably agree with me that your chosen sonar is the most important piece of ice fishing equipment. If you havent yet fished with one, its time to see what youre missing and experience an epiphany of your own in our outdoors.

LLOYD OMDAHL
ore and more local officials are becoming alarmed over the impact of Measure #2 on the June ballot that proposes to repeal all property taxes and By Lloyd dump the mess into the laps of the state legislators. Omdahl Instead of offering specific solutions to specific problems, the sponsors of the measure have been offering a variety of specious claims and generalities that are not supported by the language in the proposed constitutional amendment. Some have suggested that the money can be found by firing 12,000 public employees; others say that the measure will not require replacement revenue for local governments. Neither of these claims is substantiated by the language in the measure. Here is the exact language on the ballot: The legislative assembly shall direct a share of sales taxes, individual and corporate income taxes, insurance premium taxes, alcoholic beverage taxes, mineral leasing fees, and gaming taxes and any oil and gas production and extraction
taxes, tobacco taxes, lottery revenues, and financial institutions taxes not allocated to elementary and secondary schools to counties, cities and other political subdivisions according to a formula devised by the legislative assembly to fully and properly fund the legally-imposed obligations of counties, cities, townships and other political subdivisions. It is clear that this amendment, if passed, would require the legislature to take money ($800 million annually) from the state treasury and pay local governments for the money lost by the repeal of the property tax. All we need to do is look at the number and complexity of local governments to understand the problem in developing a payback formula. North Dakota has more local governments per capita than any other state in the Union. We have 53 counties, 350 cities, 1100 townships, over 300 fire districts, around 175 school districts, over 200 park districts, around 50 soil conservation districts, nearly 75 water resource districts, close to 95 libraries, and scores of ambulance districts. Each of these local governments has a unique financial OMDAHL: 9

STEAK NIGHT
YOUR HEALTH: Healthcare Reform: Keep Whats Working and Boost Prevention
By Vicki Voldal Roseau f, as Benjamin Franklin famously said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," then the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that became law in early 2010 is an extremely beneficial step. The healthcare act greatly improves efforts to
prevent disease. For starters, the new law requires insurers to cover a long list of high-value preventive services without charging any deductible, co-payment or co-insurance. The list notably includes mammograms and colonoscopies; and additional preventive services
will be added in 2012. In addition, the ACA is funding local initiatives to develop and test new models to drive healthcare system reforms. This includes establishing the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, which engages local health champions to
OMDAHL: From 8 structure with varying degrees of reliance on property taxation. Take counties, for example. According to the latest posting by the State Tax Department, Bottineau reported an average of 129 mills for the county; Slope reported 152; Grand Forks reported 379 mills, and Morton reported 363. All other counties fell in between. What these figures tell us is that county governments across the state have varying needs for property revenue and they also have a wide range in the services they offer their citizens. Consequently, a simple one-size-fits-all solution will not work for each and every county government. We can bet that schools, cities, townships and the hundreds of other local governments have unique budgets as well. A single solution, such as flat across-the-board percentage refunds to all, would give huge windfalls to some local governments while short-changing hundreds of others. Because each political subdivision is unique, the only fair and rational approach would be for a legislative committee or some state agency to review the budget of each local government and dole out money accordingly. To protect the uniqueness of local governments, representatives from our 2200 local governments would have to travel to Bismarck to justify their budgets and convince some state entity or legislative committee that their budget needs are legitimate. This process would certainly threaten local control of local ser-
vices. The problem of getting money required by the measure back to the local government is only one problem in this simplistic approach to state and local
finance offered by Measure #2 . An arbitrary change of this magnitude requires the deliberative process of the legislature over a 10-year period.
revitalize and sustain critical Medicare, Medicaid and Childrens Health Insurance Programs and ultimately improve the healthcare system for all Americans. However, some observers are concerned that efforts to privatize Medicare, Medicaid and even the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) might slow healthcare reform progress. Just a few days ago, I read an interesting essay
by Paul Krugman, awardwinning economics professor at Princeton University. Krugman notes that some politicians are now pushing to partially privatize the VHA, even though for the past two decades this program has been a huge healthcare success story. Several surveys have documented that the VHA is providing better care to vets than most other Americans receive and at the same
time the VHA has held its cost increases below those of private insurers. It doesnt make sense to change something that is working well. We need to build on programs and systems that are already providing superior care while controlling costsjust like the current Veterans Health Administration.
