Did you get to come to The Market in Carrington on Tuesday, August 8th? One whole side of Carrington City Park was filled with all kinds of awesome products being displayed and sold to a huge crowd of community folks. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As you can see from these pictures, there were quite a few enterprising youngsters selling their own creative products... some who could actually explain how much money they had invested and what kind of profit they hoped to make. Such amazing young people... with whom it was so much fun to visit! Huge compliments to the parents who supported their children with these projects!!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Of course, there were all kinds of wonderful baked goods, canned goods, fresh produce, arts and crafts, flower arrangements, food vendors and so much more. You could tell from the crowds of people that our community is absolutely thrilled with this bi-weekly event and is looking forward to the next Market on Tuesday, August 22nd. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">#themarket #marketplace #foodvendors #artsandcrafts #photography #freshproduce #bakedgoods #youngentrepreneurs #educationaldisplays</span></p>Judy Kellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453659550770490153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152892158645599009.post-6589832850229204912023-09-04T16:01:00.003-05:002023-09-04T16:01:33.770-05:00American Legion Post 25 - New Officers - 2023<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">On Tuesday, August 22, 2023, two men from the Carrington community, Tom Sauby and Ryan Zink, were elected as Commander and Adjutant of John Raymond O'Hara American Legion Post 25. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">As many of you know, the meeting was called to discuss whether or not to close the post due to lack of active members. Several American Legion leaders from across the state came to offer their suggestions/support because they didn't want to see Post 25 close.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> The closure would have affected many important events/activities which we take for granted in Carrington, such as American Legion baseball, Veterans Day and Memorial Day festivities, placing flags in the Carrington cemetery, providing education scholarships and more. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> Also, the American Legion Auxiliary ladies who are very active in supporting veterans' issues and organizing community events, would also have had to close. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Hopefully, Carrington folks will show their appreciation to newly-elected Commander Tom Soube and Adjutant Ryan Zink for being willing to take over the important responsibility of managing Post 25. Because of them, Carrington can continue to benefit from and look forward to so many worthwhile Legion activities. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">(Way to go, Tom and Ryan!)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;

Every year they can depend on the thoughtful help of the community to make the cemetery look especially beautiful. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Attached is a picture of the Veterans' Memorial where our ceremonies were held in the past.

Students from Carrington Elementary School create posters which show their honor and respect for our veterans. This year the auxiliary gave certificates and monetary awards to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd-place winners of their Poppy Day Poster Contest. Just take a look at their awesome creations! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> The winners are: 6th grade: 1st: Mya Neis; 2nd: Laken Johnson; 3rd: Parents don't want his name published.

Now that the dandelions are flourishing all over town, I'm hopeful that our ND Summer is finally almost here... especially since our temperature is 85 degrees right now! When I was looking through some of my American Legion Auxiliary papers this morning, I found an awesome clipping which compares military children to dandelions. I'm sure many of you have been in the military and perhaps in the position of being a military child, so I'm sharing this ALA article with you. Hope you enjoy it.</p><p>THE OFFICIAL FLOWER OF THE MILITARY CHILD IS THE DANDELION. WHY?</p><p>"Dandelions put down roots almost anywhere, and it's almost impossible to destroy them. It's an unpretentious plant, yet good looking... and it's a survivor in a broad range of climates.</p><p>"Like dandelions, military children bloom everywhere the winds carry them. They are hardy and upright. Their roots are strong, cultivated deeply in the culture of the military... planted swiftly and surly. They're ready to fly in the breezes that take them to new adventures, new lands, and new friends.</p><p>"Military children are well-rounded, culturally aware, tolerant and extremely resilient. They have learned from an early age that home is where their hearts are... and that a good friend can be found in every corner of the world.</p><p>"They learn that to survive means to adapt... that the door that closes one chapter of their life opens up to a new and exciting adventure full of new friends and new experiences."</p><p>I drove around town, trying to find a picture of children playing in the dandelions... but I guess they were all in school. I did find an interesting looking little deer in a dandelion patch that I thought was cute enough to share.</p><p>Wherever you live, I hope you're having a beautiful day!

Hopefully, our current storm won't cause anywhere near the damage/devastation that the 1966 blizzard caused. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The pictures and stories from folks who lived through that storm are simply incredible. A section in the book which tells about the Carrington/Foster County area made me wonder if you or anyone else in our Memories of Carrington group experienced that 1966 blizzard. There were several names that I recognized... along with stories about their experiences. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Dr. Vogelwede was stalled for 31 hours on the road between Carrington and New Rockford without food or water. Luckily, he had sleeping bags to protect him from the cold... and was unharmed when two truckdrivers came along and rescued him. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Don and Ron Theis went out to get some bales of hay from a stack near their barn and completely lost their bearings. They wandered around for hours before they found a fence a mile away which led back to their barn. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> The Vernon Topp family, in the midst of calving season, spent the time shoveling snow away from their herd of cattle in order to protect them. Without power for forty-five hours, they used kerosene lamps and had one pot of coffee to last them through that time. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Foster County Independent said that "...it was one of the worst storms of recorded history."

It takes place at Carrington City Park every two weeks on Tuesday evenings. As you can see from these pictures taken on August 23rd, quite a variety of local vendors are sharing their products, and folks are having a good time shopping, visiting and just enjoying the pleasant evening and community comradery</span><span style="text-align: left;">. Thanks to everyone who put effort into creating this event... and to everyone who came out to support it. Hope to see you at the next Market on September 6th!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;

Carrington News Disappeared!<p>WHERE IS FACEBOOK TODAY?</p><p> <a href="https://www.krqe.com/news/technology/facebook-whatsapp-instagram-suffer-worldwide-outage/">Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram suffer worldwide outage | KRQE News 13</a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Hi, Everyone,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Facebook is down right now, and we're all wondering why. I thought I'd place a link on this blogger site to keep track of what's going on, since I can't access my Carrington News site hosted by Facebook.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The above link by the Associated Press tries to explain why Facebook is down today.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Although I don't agree with the dictatorial attitude of Facebook nowadays, I would miss my Carrington News site which I've been publishing for many years. It's still amazing to me that I have over 4,000 followers... as well as another 1,000 in my Memories of Carrington group. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">It was rather a shock when I tried to access CarringtonNews.com on Facebook... and nothing was there. Wondering what will happen in the future, when Facebook and other huge social media sites are prosecuted by the government... if that will ever happen.</span></p>Judy Kellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453659550770490153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152892158645599009.post-57944213017704442852020-10-19T14:09:00.001-05:002020-10-19T14:09:32.121-05:00Tour of Sykeston, North Dakota with Illa Zink<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rp4VDJRy71c/X43jXcuIeuI/AAAAAAAEEf0/Pa6vzwsQgKEgNAy8kbBT7GcrJl_fy0FVACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/29-20201007_153116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1790" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rp4VDJRy71c/X43jXcuIeuI/AAAAAAAEEf0/Pa6vzwsQgKEgNAy8kbBT7GcrJl_fy0FVACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/29-20201007_153116.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are any of you from north of Carrington and the area over toward Sykeston? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Illa Zink, a longtime, well respected and loved member of our community, took me on a delightful tour of that area. </span></p></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I saw wonderful scenes of North Dakota farm country, including where Illa grew up. I recognized lots of familiar names from the past as well as the present... White, Laber, Garland, Lura, Rindy, Neumiller.... </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">She showed me the farmhouse where she was born... in rustic decay now... along with a huge barn which time and wind have turned into a photographer's dream. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As we drove from there to Sykeston, we talked about how we loved the wide open spaciousness of our area and the ability to see for miles and miles. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Sykeston, we admired the Fall decorations placed so thoughtfully throughout the town... and wondered who put so much time and effort into decorating. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As Illa drove around, I took pictures of buildings/decorations/signs that caught my eye. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Saint Elizabeth Catholic Cemetery was awe inspiring with the beautiful, towering monument with Jesus as its centerpiece. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We admired the nice old Sykeston High School building and wondered what plans the community has for its use. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, the large lake and park were very inviting, making us want to get out and sit for a while and just enjoy the view. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Autumn foliage made everything exceptionally beautiful. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;

His story is always a poignant one... of a local man of Japanese descent, an important well-liked member of our community, who was taken away and placed in an internment camp during World War II. His creation, the Rainbow Gardens (a motel, music pavilion and restaurant) was known throughout the country... drawing such popular entertainers as Duke Ellington, Jimmy Dorsey and Louie Armstrong. With all his assets being seized by the government, Hayashi's Rainbow Gardens was never the same after he was released from the camp and returned to Carrington. However, he went on to own/run the Miami Grill, and he and his family remained substantial, supportive members of the Carrington community... and always respected by them. </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NtdRBHJ2U5I/X43eQFZffSI/AAAAAAAEEfE/nsS613bENSwPfCmMXWLeGr9v1TVyjtFTQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/31-20201013_190911.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="2000" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NtdRBHJ2U5I/X43eQFZffSI/AAAAAAAEEfE/nsS613bENSwPfCmMXWLeGr9v1TVyjtFTQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h225/31-20201013_190911.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Michele Seil - Harry Hayashi Family Grave<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is another Cemetery Walk scheduled for October 17th at 2 p.m.... with a variety of different stories to be told. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you, Everyone, for dropping by Carrington News today.

A Baked Potato and Chili Supper sponsored by the American Legion/VFW and their Auxiliaries had an amazing community turnout! The lines of people were constant from 5:30 p.m. all the way till the abundance of chili ran out and the last two potatoes were served around 7 o'clock.<br />

Folks completely filled the dining area throughout the evening, visiting and showing support to a well-loved community member who needed a helping hand.<br />

Roger's wife Linda addressed the crowd, ending with tears of appreciation for the thoughtfulness and generosity of the community.<br />

Still recuperating from his 6 month stay at the VA Hospital in Fargo, Roger moved around slowly with help from his walking aides and even managed to take his place on stage and strum some tunes while people were dining and participating in the silent auction.<br />
<br />

<br />
Roger's well-wishers outdid themselves in providing items for the silent auction... so by the end of the evening, along with donations from the freewill supper, the fundraiser accumulated around $6,700. Quite an incredible show of love and support from the community!<br />

(Kudos to everyone who participated in making this benefit possible, to the American Legion and VFW and their auxiliary ladies who prepared and served the supper, to the folks who donated items for the silent auction, to Barton Meats who donated 20 pounds of hamburger for the chili, to the folks who donated money for the freewill supper, to the people who bid very generously at the auction, to people who donated in other ways... You are simply AWESOME!) #carringtonndnews<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Do you realize how important it is to get a complete census count for Carrington and Foster County? Of course, you realize that the census count determines how many representatives each state gets in Congress, and it is used to draw district boundaries. </span></span><br />

Hi Everyone! So sorry I haven't been very good about keeping up with this site. I put most of my blogging energy into my CarringtonNews.com Facebook site. So, I think I'll start putting some of my Facebook posts on this site for those of you who don't have Facebook.<br />

Are you doing anything special for Superbowl Sunday? It's going to be grilled ribs and football at our house... with way too many snacks, of course! <br />

Do you realize how important it is to get a complete census count for Carrington and Foster County? Of course, you realize that the census count determines how many representatives each state gets in Congress, and it is used to draw district boundaries. What is not so well known is how the census count affects us locally. For instance, our community relies on accurate census data to plan such things as new roads, schools, emergency services and more. What's more, our census count determines the amount of money/grants that are given to us from the state/federal government. In other words, the more population we have, the more money will be allocated to us for important local services.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, October 22, the Foster County/Carrington Complete Count Committee met at Carrington City Hall to plan ways to raise community awareness of the coming census. Their main focus is to figure out ways to reach every resident in our area and convince them how important it is to complete and turn in a census form.<br />
<br />
If we don't reach a certain population count, we are in jeopardy of losing millions of dollars in support from the federal government. So, if you have ideas about how to increase public awareness of how important the 2020 census is... and if you are interested in joining this committee, please contact either Jennifer Gast at 652-2911 or Brad Solberg at 653-2441. We all need to work together to get an accurate 2020 count.Judy Kellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453659550770490153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152892158645599009.post-50105197814302069132019-09-12T23:03:00.001-05:002019-09-12T23:05:16.189-05:00Getting Tired of Roadwork in Carrington & North Dakota<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here in Carrington we've had to figure out new ways to get places all summer long... and the roadwork still continues. If you have an appointment somewhere, be sure to leave early because there's no telling what road will be closed from one day to the next. </span><br />

I got to 2nd Ave. North and, of course, a train decided to slow down and stop just when I needed to get across. </span><br />

We drove back across Carrington and came out on Hwy 52 going toward Sykeston. I turned east, and even though it was out of the way, it saved me time because the train was still sitting still when I got back to Hwy 281 and headed north!</span><br />

<br />
On Tuesday evening, September 10, 2019, Erin Musland, a specialist from the U.S. Census Bureau, presented important information regarding the 2020 Census to members of the Foster County community. The focus of the meeting was to emphasize how important it is to obtain a complete count of persons living in our state. That count determines how many representatives our state gets in Congress and is used to determine legislative district boundaries. On our local level, the census count affects the boundaries of our Foster County commission districts. As well, the census count determines the amount of federal funds that our community will receive to implement many of the programs and services that are so valuable to us... things such as new roads, schools, emergency services and more.<br />
<br />
A few important changes for the 2020 census show that the Census Bureau is trying to make it easier for residents to report their census data. For instance, this will be the first time people will be able to report online or by phone, as well as by mail. Also, the questionnaire, itself, is much shorter... only eleven basic questions.<br />
<br />
Erin Musland emphasized the need to assure everyone that the information collected is confidential. Personal responses cannot be used in any way to identify a person. Furthermore, information cannot be shared with immigration enforcement agencies, such as ICE, or law enforcement agencies such as the FBI or police. The information is used only to produce statistics.<br />
<br />
At the end of the meeting, it was determined that Brad Solberg, Foster County auditor, and Jennifer Gast, Carrington City auditor, would chair a local "Complete Count Committee" of community volunteers endeavoring to get an accurate count of people in our local area.Judy Kellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09453659550770490153noreply@blogger.com0
