COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana. Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.
The True Meaning
Which corporate store is number one? And the first to make the claim, That they organized and advertised They brought Christmas time to fame.
These Christmas time participants Should clearly have a voice Is it VISA or the Mastercard, That’s the Christmas card of choice?
Their fake and foreign Christmas tree, With their logo on the top, That’s braided up in Chinese lights, It’s now Santa’s Christmas shop.
They depart with foreign parcels Some will go in Christmas socks At least they bought Kentucky whiskey In that fancy Christmas box.
He appears a bit unusual. He’s employed to stock the shelf. He’s “Black Friday’s” transformation. He’s now Santa’s little elf.
December tends to get them down, With all the shopping mess, They attend a special clinic Just to deal with their stress.
Through all the corporate wisdom, They’ve modified the phrase, They’re replacing Merry Christmas It’s now happy holidays.
Halting for a moment, Would they make a true confession? What is the season’s purpose? That’s the one and only question.
With the hustle and the bustle, The crowds are agitating The discounts on the merchandise Are what they’re celebrating.
They’ll shop until they drop Until the holiday, it ceases. Would they answer the “true meaning” With….“ Who the heck is Jesus?”
Some folks are shelling out the cash But it needn’t be that drastic Now the customer asks Santa’s clerk, “Would you like paper now or plastic?”
Ask us about the first time home owner’s (haven’t owned a home for at least 3-yrs) tax credit up to $8000 or the current home owner’s tax credit up to $6500. Purchase must be in effect on or before April 30, 2010. Call Bear Paw Montana Realty--Office 357-2111, 945-5655 or 799-5326. 12-II

Giving to charity is an integral part of many financial plans. Giving to charity not only benefits the community but can provide substantial tax savings as well. However, to get that valuable tax deduction, certain record keeping rules have to be followed. Generally, taxpayers may deduct on their returns contributions of money or property made to a charitable organization. Donation of money or property to charity also removes the asset from the donor’s estate. IRS regulations require receipts to show the money is really being given to charity. Charities are required to provide receipts for donations greater than $75 if the charity gives something of value, such as a banquet dinner, in return. In cases of such a “quid pro quo” contribution, the receipt tells the fair market value of the item of value (the “quo”). The donor taxpayer may only deduct the difference between the “quid” and the “quo.” Another regulation requires charities to provide a receipt, or contemporaneous written acknowledgment for goods and services, for contributions in excess of $250. Individual donors are also required to keep these receipts to prove such donations were made. Unlike years past, a canceled check or account statement is no longer sufficient proof. This rule is to be taken seriously for if you are audited and cannot provide the receipt, the deduction will be denied. Relief may be granted if the charity files a contemporaneous return with the necessary information. Charitable giving strategies range from the simple to the complex. In order to take advantage of them, both the strategies and the record keeping rules must be understood and followed. Working with your tax advisor and financial planner is the surest way to successfully integrate charitable giving into your financial plan.

FORT BELKNAP COLLEGE CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS
Pull out t for han his spread dy refe rence!
This past year marked the 25th anniversary of Fort Belknap College. As the college alumni, students and staff celebrate this important milestone in the college’s history, they also take this opportunity to remember the college’s humble beginnings.
FORT BELKNAP COLLEGE
hisTORY iN ThE MAKiNG More than twenty-five years ago, a group of forward-thinking men and women from the Fort Belknap indian Community Council, Fort Belknap Education Department, and Fort Belknap campus of Dull Knife Memorial College (now Chief Dull Knife College) recognized the need to start a new local college. They saw that off-reservation programs were not adequately meeting the post-secondary educational needs of the community. so, in 1984 they established Fort Belknap College to provide the academic and vocational training programs and services that would address social and economic needs, while preserving and promoting the A’anin and Nakoda languages, cultures and histories. Today’s Fort Belknap College is deeply indebted to these visionary leaders for their efforts; they share great pride in FBC’s continuing growth and development over the last 25 years. sTUDENT sUCCEss There are obvious reasons to consider enrolling at Fort Belknap College. in addition to celebrating a 25th anniversary, 2009 was a year filled with great accomplishment for FBC students. in May, 29 students graduated from FBC, tying a record for the largest graduating class ever! FBC students also showed their wide range of talents at the annual AihEC student conference in Missoula. Vince Mace won first prize in the talent show, Kane Bishop took first place in webpage design, the FBC team finished third in the science Bowl competition, and Fort Belknap College took home third place in the stick game tournament. Congratulations go out to all of these successful competitors! FACULTY AChiEVEMENTs some of the student success is due to the many accomplishments of FBC’s talented faculty and staff. in 2009, six staff and faculty members earned graduate degrees. it’s anticipated that at least six more will complete master’s degree programs in 2010, with three more entering the final stages of their doctoral degree programs. As current FBC faculty and staff continue to develop their skills and knowledge, the college is equally pleased to have hired so many talented young people from within its own community. Fort Belknap College remains committed to a “grow your own” philosophy of developing their community’s future educational leaders.

ACADEMiC PROGRAMs FBC academic programs continue to provide students with exciting learning opportunities – inside and outside the classroom. Last year, the institution began offering courses in a new one-year certificate program in Water Quality, and its reenergized Developmental studies program established a GED testing center at the college. in February, FBC hosted the first annual American indian Film Festival, which featured Dr. harriet sky from New York University. Also installed was an indigenous scholars series that brought renowned indian scholars like Dr. Gregory Cajete, Dr. Dan Wildcat, Dr. Karen Comeau, and Linda Different Cloud-Jones to campus to meet with students, faculty and community members. As these academic enrichment activities continue in the coming years, FBC invites anyone to join us for these special events.

Christmas Day is right around the corner – just over two weeks away and there’s a lot of ”hustle and bustle” going on to get ready for the BIG DAY. For some reason, it seems the hustle has gone out of my bustle and I’m not getting as much done as I should be. Before I know it, I’ll be trying to get all my cards mailed, presents wrapped, and, hopefully, some krumkake made. That’s about all I make anymore – seems there’s always an abundant variety of goodies around and it’s so much more fun to sample other people’s baking and cooking skills. Hmmm. . . is that a sign of old age, I wonder? My grandmother and my mother always used to make lefse, fattigmand, julekake, krumkake, rosettes – all that good stuff. I “yust” go buy what I can now – except for krumkake, that is. Lutefisk at the Holidays I haven’t had any lutefisk yet this year. Maybe that’s what I need to get the hustle back. Whaddya think? We Norwegians like our lutefisk at least a couple times during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Well, many of us Norskies like the lye-soaked codfish that’s cooked to a jelly-like consistency. Drowned in melted butter and served with lots of good mashed potatoes and lefse, it’s a feast fit for a king! A king? Well, maybe a tough old Viking king. It has been said that about half the Norwegians immigrated to America to escape the disgusting lutefisk and the other half came over to preach the gospel of lutefisk. My grandpa came from Norway in 1905 and he had never had lutefisk until he came to America! He got to really like the good stuff! Ya! Lutefisk (lyefish) has been around since the time of the Vikings. According to legend, plundering Vikings burned down a fishing village and the drying racks full of cod became covered with ashes and soaked in lye slush. The villagers were surprised to see that the fish recovered from the ash was like fresh fish. I remember lutefisk stored in barrels of brine in the store. Mother would buy enough for the family (usually a pound per person), bring it home and soak it in clear water, changing the water several times over a 2 to 3 day period before putting it in a cheesecloth sack and placing it in boiling water for a few minutes until done, but not mushy. Yummmm! That’s the thing about lutefisk, I guess, is the smell. When I think of Christmas, I think of the wonderful aromas that permeate the air – Ginger, pine needles, fresh bread, popcorn, turkey, fudge, - then, there’s LUTEFISK! By golly, but that’s the absolute best! I can just hear a whole lot of you going “ARRRGH, PHEW, ISH-DA, FEE-DA, UFFDA and probably more, but it’s good stuff, I tell you! In this day and age, we can buy the frozen non-lye-soaked lutefisk so don’t have to do all that soaking, rinsing, etc. before we cook it. Then, there lutefisk’s partner – lefse. The History of Lefse It is hard to say when lefse originated. Maybe the Norse God Odin first had it served to the souls of the slain warriors who occupy Valhalla as a way to fortify them for their final battle. That’s probably just a folk tale given the fact that the potato was introduced to Norway a little over 250 years ago. Like Ireland, Norway suffered from the effects of the potato famine in the mid-1800’s, which is about the time that many Norwegians came to the United States. They brought their knowledge, griddles, mashers and rolling

pins. The result is a delicacy that’s part of a special tradition replicated in every Norwegian-American town for more than 150 years. My grandma didn’t have a griddle to bake her lefse on. She baked hers on the top of an old kitchen range – the kind you burned wood in. Can you imagine not being able to “set the temperature?” Boy, she made good lefse, though! Christian Celebrations Long before Lutefisk and Lefse became traditions for the Scandinavians, Christmas began in a tiny village more than 2000 years ago with the birth of Jesus Christ in a stable in Bethlehem. The Star of the East guided the shepherds and the wisemen bearing gifts to the scene of the miraculous birth. ‘Tis truly the “Reason for the Season.” The verses for “The Special Gift” came to me one night when I was thinking of writing this article: In a small village long, long ago Wisemen and shepherds bowed down low To honor the Child born that night The Star of the East shining so bright.
The baby Jesus was born this day In a manger filled with animals and hay. Angels sang praises from above. The world was filled with peace and love.
All over the world, in large cities and small towns, the Christmas holiday is celebrated by millions of Christians in many different ways. In recent years, the celebrations have, unfortunately, become more secular than religious with more and more emphasis on the effect the holiday has on commerce. However, family gatherings, special meals with ethnic foods, plays, programs, and gift exchanges continue to bring joy and wonder to the Christmas season. Towns and Schools Take the Lead Some towns hold a Christmas Stroll, a Parade of Lights, and, in Great Falls, for instance, there was even a polar plunge where volunteers took a dip in ice cold water on a frigid night to raise money for Special Olympics. People contribute to food banks and blessing trees giving gifts to children who otherwise might not get anything or not much. Santa makes at least one trip to every town, usually after the school Christmas program and youngsters get to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. I remember Christmas programs years ago where all us kids gave recitations, sang songs, and put on plays and skits we sometimes wrote ourselves. These were performed on a makeshift stage in the front of the one-room school classroom. The “curtain” was a couple of sheets hung on a wire stretched across the classroom and attached with safety pins so it was easy to open and close. I can remember the lights on the Christmas tree powered by a car battery because there was no plug-in – no electricity! One time a little boy told his mother after the school program that the person who was Santa Claus was not the REAL Santa! When asked how he knew, he said, “Santa doesn’t wear cowboy boots!” Now the programs are mostly musical performances performed by children of all ages. The light in their eyes, the smiles on their faces and their enthusiasm is a delight to behold. Kudos to all the teachers in Sunday School and Public School both who direct these special programs. I feel the experience is an invaluable one for spectators and participants alike. There’s something magical about seeing young children staging the Nativity Scene and singing “Away in a Manger” and “Silent Night”.
There have been a lot of jokes about lutefisk. The one I like is actually a song sung to the tune of “O Christmas Tree” 1. O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, how fragrant your aroma, O Lutefisk, O Lutefisk, you put me in a coma. You smell so strong, you look like glue, You taste just like an overshoe, But lutefisk, come Saturday, I tink I eat you anyvay 2. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, I put you in the doorvay. I wanted you to ripen up just like they do in Norvay. A dog came by and sprinkled you. I hit him with my overshoe. O lutefisk, now I suppose I’ll eat you while I hold my nose. 3. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, how well I do remember. On Christmas Eve how we’d receive our big treat of December. It wasn’t turkey or fried ham. It wasn’t even pickled Spam. My mother knew there was no risk In serving buttered lutefisk. 4. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, now everyone discovers That lutefisk and lefse make Norvegians better lovers. Now all the world can have a ball. You’re better than that Geritol. O lutefisk, with brennevin [Norwegian brandy] You make me feel like Errol Flynn. 5. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, you have a special flavor. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, all good Norvegians savor. That slimy slab we know so well Identified by ghastly smell. O Lutefisk, O lutefisk, Our loyalty won’t waver. (By Red Strangeland, Sioux Falls, South Dakota)

(Continued from previous page.)
A Celebration Across Cultures The special thing about the Christmas season is the way in which it crosses many cultures and traditions. For example, I spoke with Marie Hofer of the Turner Hutterite Colony about how the members of the Colony celebrate Christmas. She told me they have a prayer service Christmas Eve followed by a special meal. Last year the menu consisted of Chinese cuisine and this year pork loins are on the menu. A seventeen year old young woman is in charge of cooking this meal for the 52 members of the colony. This will be her first time being in charge and she will have help and supervision. There will be church services Christmas Day and for the next two days. A special dinner, usually turkey, will be served Christmas Day. After dinner, those who haven’t been baptized into the faith will recite and sing German verses and songs they have been taught by one of the older members. The Colony orders large quantities of “goodies” – candy, nuts, and snack foods which is distributed among the families of the Colony. They exchange The Lefse Song - Author Unknown gifts which are usually [Sung to the tune of “Camptown Races”] homemade – new dresses for the ladies and shirts Norsky ladies sing dis song...Uff Da!

This version of Lefse’s history was submitted by Jim Berg from Albert Lea, MN: “Now Den, vot you know bout dat....Did you know that lefsa was I write for “Tricia’s Trader” – at Now I gotta bake anodder batch...Oh da Uff Da invented by da norweigen Vikings...Von day, dey vent and vas going to raid least for awhile.

You see the Irish heard dem coming and began trowing der potatoes at dem darn Vikings so dat dey cud not land. Vel, by golly, do you know vat? Dey load that ship with all the potatoes dat got trowed at dem, pulled out their oars and finally got back to Norway. Ven dey got der dey played around with dos spuds and come up with a bread, and called it LEFSE. They had a big party that night and dey got out that old foul smelling fish and put it on Lefse and dat is ver da Lutefisk Supper vas born........... My Grate, Grate, Grate, Grate, Granfodder was on that ship that raided Ireland. I’m sure glad dey brought it to America udder vise ve vud not have Lutefisk Suppers Today! My Lena makes the best darn lefse in Minnesota. Corse I have to help uddervise she’d eat it all up while she vas cooking it and ve vud not have any for supper dat evening.... I’m sure glad they have Lutefisk Suppers around Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. My mother, Palma, made all the lefse by herself. They weren’t very round, but then she always said you could not taste the round...... Your Friend.......... Ole”
what I have done and really appreciate Tricia’s faith that I could do something I had never done before. Ten years ago I began a huge genealogy project and I have relatives clamoring for evidence of a finished product. Since I don’t seem to be able to “multi-task,” I think its best I try very hard to get done what I started. You might hear from me again – who knows? Thank you, Tricia, and all who have read these articles these past few months. --DMJ

(continued from front cover) CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT Major improvements were witnessed in campus facilities this past year. Construction of Computer Lodge/Thinking Village was completed, as was the new technology center and library, and the finance office addition to White Clay People Hall. A playground and basketball court were also added. In September, the college formally named our new facilities and held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new $3.3 million workforce training center, which should be completed by the end of next year. With each new building and campus improvement, the vision of the campus master plan continues to take shape before our eyes.

FROM THE MARKETING TOOLBOX: 2010. Bring It On!
by Tricia Kimmel
As we inch nearer to that ground-breaking day each year known as New Year’s Day, I’ve found myself reflecting about the power given to each and every one of us to direct our lives. Without getting all “woo-woo” on the topic (I hate “woo-woo”), I hope I can offer some insight that may empower you to make your life and business exactly what you want them to be. You’ve heard it before. It’s undeniable that we can’t control what happens TO us, but, we all are given an amazing power to control what we DO with what happens to us. You may have read all the “self-help” books that talk about this very concept. However, whether you call it “manifestation” or a “secret”, like some books have, or just “putting your mind to it”, there is no arguing the power of plain old self-talk. “What you think about, you bring about,” as Napoleon Hill iterated so many decades ago. His statement is just as applicable today. I read an article the other day that made a great case in point: as business owners, our businesses are a true reflection of who we really are. Your business IS you. As I considered this, I have to say I felt very proud of what my own business is currently reflecting. I have the best team I could ask for, and as far as I know they’re just as happy to be working with me. We get amazing responses from our advertisers and readers. I feel fortunate to have watched my business grow in a short 6 or 7 years to what it is today. As I was reading, I remembered a piece of paper I came across just a few weeks ago as I was clearing off my desk. It was nothing but scratch paper, but GO ONLINE TODAY on it I had scribbled a few key and subscribe to our concepts and ideas I wanted to FREE marketing e-newsletter at www.Kimmel-Kreations.com. implement in my business. I had Get great tips like the ones in written this list about 10 months “Marketing Toolbox” plus more ago and never glanced at it again until I found it recently in a pile great ideas every week! of papers to be filed. Astonished, I read through that list and realized that every one of those things I had written had manifested themselves in my business. At the time I wrote it, I had no idea HOW I was going to make those ideas work. But that didn’t matter. I made them happen. That is the power of self-talk. So, in light of that, I want to delve a little deeper. Every year about this time, people all across the world attempt to set their “resolutions” for the new year. It’s a great concept and it can work. But why do so many of those resolutions wilt away and fail? It’s a matter of getting really honest with yourself about your beliefs. How many people, for example, set a resolution to lose 20 pounds? And of those individuals, how many actually tell themselves subconsciously, “I want to lose 20 pounds this year . . . but I really can’t do it. Who am I kidding? ” Be aware of that negative self-talk. It IS just as powerful as the positive stuff. Usually, that same kind of talk is followed by some kind of excuse, like “I don’t have time to exercise” or my favorite, “it’s in my genes”. The excuses you use to hold yourself back are insightful, and you’d be well-served to learn how to reverse those limiting ideas. Just because you believe something doesn’t necessarily make it true. If you struggle with those kinds of limiting beliefs about yourself, you are going to have a much harder time making your dreams a reality until you discover how to turn those thoughts around. Make a conscious effort to “listen” to your self-talk for a few days. Pay attention to all the ways you degrade yourself or others and how those thoughts impact your day. After all, we’re all looking out at the world through a different pair of glasses. The color of your lenses has a huge effect on how you view the world. Consider this carefully. If your business isn’t reflecting an image you’re proud of, maybe this New Year it’s time for a new pair of glasses. Are you unsure of how to market your business? Do you run out of time to market because you’re too busy running your business? Kimmel Kreations, LLC offers customized “Marketing Modules” to lead you through the marketing maze. We are the solution you need. 406.379.2377

This Holiday Season . . .Remember PPND “Newell’s Syndrome” Families PPND MAY AFFECT SOMEONE YOU KNOW. November 1 - December 31, 2009
Victims of PPND often begin to experience symptoms similar to Parkinsons and Alzheimers in their early 40s, and generally succumb to the disease by the age of about 50. The disease is a rare genetic disorder affecting only a few families in the world, and is always fatal. One of the original family members to suffer from PPND, Chester Newell made his home in northcentral Montana during the homesteading period, and many of his descendants still reside there. During “Chet’s” generation not much was known about this mysterious illness. We are urging our readers to make a charitable contribution to either of the funds below for support of research for a cure of PPND “Newell’s Syndrome” as featured in our November 4th Community Spotlight. All of the profits from the sponsorships on those pages and all upcoming update sections will go to funding research for PPND. Visit our website at kimmel-kreations.com to read that special story about the families afflicted here in our Montana reading area. If you wish to help this family’s quest to find a cure, Marla Phillips, the spouse of a deceased family member, has set up a non-profit research fund. The money in this fund is used to cover research trips to the Mayo Clinics in Rochester, Minnesota and Jacksonville, Florida. You may send your contribution on behalf of someone you know affected by PPND.
PPND Research Account c/o Marla Phillips P.O. Box 11596 Glendale, AZ 85318
FUNDS RAISED TO DATE:
Or you may send your contribution to the research center in Great Falls, Montana. Donations to this organization will aid in research of ALL neurological disorders, though the funds will not be specified solely for PPND research. The scientists there focus on neuroscience research with programs in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, prion diseases (mad cow disease, chronic wasting disease and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease), diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, hearing loss, and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, they have a strong education program where Montana’s finest students and teachers work on research projects under the direction of McLaughlin scientists, one of which is being conducted by Miranda Orr, originally of Saco, Montana and her mentor, Dr. George Carlson.
