The City of Granville has had ongoing recycling efforts within the community and the surrounding area for a number of years now. As we hear more and more about going Green, the city would like to make the area’s citizens even more aware of recycling opportunities. The City is hosting a Reduce-Reuse and Recycle Workshop on September 15 th, starting at 7:00 pm in the McGillicuddy Center.

The City is working closely with the Upper Dakota Resource Conservation and Development Council and others to bring ideas on reducing our impact on the environment. Plans are to have highlights of local programs such as the Minot Vocational Adjustment Workshop and Gerdau Ameristeel Recycling. We will hear about reducing impacts on the landfill from the ND Department of Health and getting even more out your recycling efforts from HAV-IT Recycling.

From Minot to Granville and rural areas in between, you are invited to learn what you can do to lessen your impact on the environment. For more information call the Upper Dakota RC&D office at 839-8297 or the Granville City Auditor at 728-6369.

Family, Faith & Food

 Beginning Wednesday October 1 st First Lutheran Church in Granville will be trying something different with the Christian education classes. We would like to see all of God ' s children involved with Christian education. Instead of Sunday School for the younger children we want to try a Wednesday night Christian education family, faith & food night. So starting at 5:30 p.m. there will be an hour of Christian education for all ages. The confirmation kids will meet with Pastor Mary, the younger children will meet with their teachers and the adults will also get together for a Bible Study. At 6:30 p.m. there will be time for food and fellowship and then at 7:15 p.m. there will be a Praise & Worship service. This will be a trial run through December. If we get a good turnout and good feedback we will continue this Christian education night through out the school year.

 God calls us all to be a faithful people and wants us all to grow in our faith. This is an excellent opportunity to share with one another your faith and dig deeper in God ' s Word. Even if you are shy about talking about your faith or feel you don't know anything about the Bible (who does? The one who wrote it, God, this is why we study it) please come and just sit and listen.

 So come feed your body & soul and have a fun and relaxing evening. You don ' t have to be a member of First Lutheran to attend this event, all are invited. See you there!!

*WARNING*WARNING*

DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF HUMAN-BEAR ENCOUNTERS, THE FISH AND WILDLIFE IS ADVISING HIKERS, HUNTERS, FISHERMAN AND ANY PERSONS THAT USE THE OUT OF DOORS IN A RECREATIONAL OR WORK RELATED FUNCTION TO TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS WHILE IN THE FIELD.

WE ADVISE THE OUTDOORSMAN TO WEAR LITTLE NOISY BELLS ON CLOTHING SO AS TO GIVE ADVANCE WARNING TO ANY BEARS THAT MIGHT BE CLOSE BY SO YOU DON'T TAKE THEM BY SURPRISE.

WE ALSO ADVISE ANYONE USING THE OUT OF DOORS TO CARRY PEPPER SPRAY IN CASE OF AN ENCOUNTER WITH A BEAR.

OUTDOORSMEN SHOULD ALSO BE ON THE WATCH FOR FRESH BEAR ACTIVITY, AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACK BEAR FECES AND GRIZZLY BEAR FECES. BLACK BEAR FECES IS SMALLER AND CONTAINS LOTS OF BERRIES AND SQUIRREL FUR. GRIZZLY BEAR FECES ARE LARGER AND CONTAINS LITTLE BELLS AND SMELLS LIKE PEPPER SPRAY.

JUST A THOUGHT. . . .

EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I MAKE A BOO-BOO. ACTUALLY I'M ONLY ALLOWED ONE A DAY AND I'M GOOD THROUGH MARCH 4 TH, 3010. I FORGOT TO PUT MY ONLY BROTHERS BIRTHDAY IN THE PAPER. I'M SORRY, ROB.

HIS BIRTHDAY WAS AUGUST 6 TH, 18? (HE'S 7 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!) HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR. BUT I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PRINT WHAT I WANT SO IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE PAPER. WE WERE SO NICE TO HIM. WE TOOK HIM SUPPER, GIFTS, AND WE ALSO SANG TO HIM IN OUR WONDERFULLY MUSICAL VOICES. HE WAS STANDING OUT IN HIS YARD, HOSING OFF HIS TRACTOR WHEN WE DROVE UP. WE WAITED FOR HIM TO SHUT THE WATER OFF CAUSE WE KNEW HE WOULD SPRAY US

THEN WE JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR, SINGING A GORGEOUS REDITION OF "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" HE DUG IN HIS POCKET FOR THE EAR PLUGS HE HAD BEEN CARRYNG AROUND ALL DAY FOR JUST THAT REASON. WE STOPPED AT JACK AND CAROLES LATER TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE AWFUL SCREACHING THAT CAME FROM ROBS HOUSE AND THEY SAID THEY DIDIN'T EVEN HEAR IT. WE MUST BE IMPROVING.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROB! I LUV YA!

I MADE ANOTHER BOO-BOO TOO!

SOME TIME AGO I HAD PRINTED THAT AMANDA JUAREZ HAD A BABY BOY, WELL THAT WAS ANGELA JUAREZ. SORRY! I HAD ALSO SAID THAT AMANDA WOULD HELP LUANNE ON DONNA'S DAY OFF AND THAT WAS ALSO ANGELA. SO THANK ANGELA AND LUANNE. SORRY FOR THE BOO-BOOS.

LIKE I SAID I AM GOOD TIL MARCH 6 TH, 3010.

WE WENT OUT TO SALINE CEMETARY, NORTH OF GRANVILLE, LAST SUNDAY. I HAD HEARD ABOUT THE CEMETARY MANY TIMES BUT HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS AND I HAD NO IDEA I HAD LOTS OF RELATIVES BURIED THERE. MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS ON MY DADS SIDE ARE BURIED THERE ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER HARMONS. THIS WAS VERY INTERESTING, WALKING AROUND THIS OLD CEMETARY AND READING THE NAMES AND WONDERING WHO THEY WERE AND HOW THEY WERE RELATED. THERE WAS LOTS OF BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN. I HAD HEARD THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM WERE RELATED AND CAME UP FROM MISSOURI TOGETHER, TO HOMESTEAD NORTH OF

Page 5 - Granville Gazette

GRANVILLE. ROB ALSO SHOWED US WHERE OUR DAD WAS BORN. I KNEW HE HAD BEEN BORN NORTH OF GRANVILLE, BUT HAD NO IDEA WHERE. THERE'S BASICALLY NOTHING THERE ANYMORE EXCEPT THE OUTDOOR TOILET AND SOME OLD PIECES OF METAL. IF ANYONE REMEMBERS ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THEM. OUR ANCESTRY IS SO IMPORTANT, EXPECIALLY IN NORTH DAKOTA CAUSE ALL OF US WERE TRANSPLANTS FROM OTHER STATES FOR SOME REASON OR OTHER.

I REMEMBER GRANDAD KRAMER TELLING ABOUT WHEN THEY CAME UP FROM MISSOURI WHEN HE WAS A KID, THERE WERE NO TREES AND JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BUSH BY THE RIVER, HARD TO BELIEVE. MY DAD'S PARENTS BOTH CAME FROM MISSOURI WITH THEIR FAMILIES WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE AND MET UP HERE AND MARRIED. WOW! HOW HARD LIFE MUST HAVE BEEN BACK THEN COMPARED TO NOW. BUT HOW MUCH TOGETHERNESS AND COMPANIONSHIP IT MUST HAVE TAKEN TO LIVE IN THOSE TIMES. I DON'T THINK WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT. GETTING BY ON $ 200.00 A YEAR WITH 6 KIDS. ONLY HAVING MONEY FROM SELLING CREAM, EGGS AND WHAT OTHER LITTLE JOBS THAT YOU WOULD GET PAID FOR. IN THOSE DAYS THERE WAS NO EXTRA MONEY FOR ANYONE SO YOU COULDN'T JUST CALL THE NEIGHBOR OVER TO HELP YOU FOR AWHILE AND HAVE THEM EXPECT TO GET PAID FOR IT. HOW DID THEY ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES? MAYBE WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO SING. MORE THAN LIKELY ALL THE NEIGHBORS WOULD HAVE GONE BACK TO MISSOURI. ENUF SAID, JO

HUMOR FOR LEXOPHILES

(LOVERS OF WORDS):

I WONDERED WHY THE BASEBALL WAS GETTING BIGGER. THEN IT HIT ME.

POLICE WERE CALLED TO A DAYCARE WHERE A THREE-YEAR-OLD WAS RESISTING A REST.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE GUY WHOSE WHOLE LEFT SIDE WAS CUT OFF?

HE'S ALL RIGHT, NOW.

THE BUTCHER BACKED UP INTO THE MEAT GRINDER AND GOT A LITTLE BEHIND IN HIS WORK.

TO WRITE WITH A BROKEN PENCIL IS POINTLESS.

WHEN FISH ARE IN SCHOOLS THEY SOMETIMES TAKE DEBATE.

THE SHORT FORTUNE TELLER WHO ESCAPED FROM PRISON WAS A SMALL MEDIUM AT LARGE.

A THIEF WHO STOLE A CALENDAR GOT TWELVE MONTHS.

A THEIF FELL AND BROKE HIS LEG IN WET CEMENT. HE BECAME A HARDENED CRIMINAL.

A DENTIST AND A MANICURIST FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL.

A WILL IS A DEAD GIVEAWAY.

A CHICKEN CROSSING THE ROAD:

POULTRY IN MOTION.

IF YOU DON'T PAY YOUR EXORCIST, YOU CAN GET REPOSSESSED.

SHOW ME A PIANO FALLING DOWN A MINE SHAFT AND I'LL SHOW YOU A-FLAT MINOR.

.
WHEN THE CLOCK IS HUNGRY IT GOES BACK FOR SECONDS.

THE GUY WHO FELL INTO AN UPHOLSTRY MACHINE WAS FULLY RECOVERED.

A LOT OF MONEY IS TAINTED: TAINT YOURS, AND TAINT MINE.

A BOILED EGG IS HARD TO BEAT

HE HAD A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY WHICH WAS NEVER DEVELOPED.

THOSE WHO GET TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES GET EXPOSED IN THE END.

WHEN SHE SAW HER FIRST STRANDS OF GRAY HAIR, SHE THOUGHT SHE'D DYE.

BAKERS TRADE BREAD RECIPIES ON A KNEAD TO KNOW BASIS.

ACUPUNCTURE: A JOB WELL DONE !

THE NEW DEPUTY
The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so a blonde went in to try out for the job. "Okay," the sheriff asked, "what is 1 and 1?" "Eleven," she replied.
The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but she's right."   Then he said, "What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"
The blonde replied, "Today and tomorrow." 
He was again surprised that the blonde supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.
"Now, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?" asked the sheriff.
The blonde looked a little surprised herself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know."
"Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?" said the sheriff.
So, the blonde wandered over to the beauty parlor where her pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. The blonde was exultant.
"It went great! My first day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
