BISMARCK (COUNTY SEAT)Once home to Mandan and Hidatsa tribes, Bismarck began as a fur trading post called Cross-ing on the Missouri. Due to its proximity to the river, the settlement was a port for military supplies to nearby forts and Indian agencies. In 1872 Bismarck was founded and named Edwinton in honor of Edwin Ferry Johnson, a railway engineer. Rail lines were built in 1873 and in an effort to attract German settlers, the Northern Pacific Railway renamed Edwinton to Bismarck, after Otto von Bismarck, a German chancellor. The first newspaper, the Bismarck Tribune, was published and is the oldest newspaper in North Dakota. As gold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1874, Bismarck began to thrive. Incorporation followed in 1875 and agri-culture dominated early industry, making Bismarck a livestock, dairy and wheat trade center. In 1883 Bismarck was selected as the capital of the Dakota Territory and Burleigh’s County Seat. Growth was steady and soon flour mills, grain elevators and creameries were prosper-ing. In 1889 the Dakota Territory was divided and Bismarck was selected as the capitol of North Dakota. By 1910 Bismarck’s population reached 4,913 and the area continued to attract farmers and new settlers. With the construction of the Garrison Dam north on the Missouri River in 1947, Bismarck continued to grow and by 1960 its population had grown to 27,670 people. Today Bismarck is home to approximately 60,389 residents.

WILTONEstablished by General W. D. Washburn, a U.S. Senator and mill owner, Wilton was founded in 1899 and named after a town in Maine. A grain elevator, livery and feed stable were built and the area published its first newspaper, the Wilton News. The post office was founded in 1900 and Wilton began to attract new settlers with the advent of new businesses including hotels, banks, land companies, a lumber yard and specialty shops. Coal was discovered and by 1907 Wilton was home to one of the largest underground mines in the world. The community was one of the first to have electric lights in the state and its population reached over 1,000 people by 1914. As the coal resources were depleted, growth began to slow. Today Wilton is home to approximately 720 residents.


Burleigh County History

Burleigh County was established in 1873 and named in honor of Dr. Walter Burleigh, an Indian agent, physician and member of Congress. As military forts were built along the Missouri River, settlers began to arrive and communities were built. As the railroad arrived, development increased dramatically and Bismarck was selected as the County Seat. Burleigh County became a transportation hub for North Dakota. With the advent of the gold rush, an influx of settlers arrived to the area and those that stayed were predominantly farmers. Wheat, corn and livestock were shipped and agricultural advancements continued. Burleigh County began to grow with a population of 6,081 people in 1900 to 13,087 people in 1910. As the gold rush began to slow, development slowed and Bismarck became the metropolitan center of the area. Today Burleigh County is home to approximately 78,689 residents.

GLEN ULLINThe area where Glen Ullin sits was first surveyed in 1881 for the transcontinental route of the Northern Pacific Railway. On August 6, 1883 the townsite was platted, and on March 9, 1901 Glen Ullin was incorporated as a town. In 1910 the town population reached 921, and Glen Ullin was no longer called a village, but a city. The town was named by one of the Northern Pacific land agents surveying the area, Major Alvan E. Bovay. Glen is Gaelic for “valley,” as Glen Ullin is located in the Curlew Valley. Ullin is from Thomas Cambell’s poem “Lord Ullin’s Daugh-ter,” which was one of Major Bovay’s favorite pieces of literature. At the time of the last census in 2010 the population was 807.

HEBRONThe city of Hebron was founded in 1885. The name of the city comes from a city located in the West Bank of Palestine. Hebron is best known for its production of bricks for building. Some-times referred to as “The Brick City,” factories for the Hebron Brick Company have been produc-ing bricks since 1904. Hebron is also one of the nation’s top producers of flax, canola, dry peas, dry beans, sunflowers, barley, and honey. The population of Hebron is roughly 950.

MANDAN (county seat)Mandan is the 6th largest city in North Dakota and is the County Seat to Morton County. Man-dan was founded in 1879 and became the county seat in 1881. The town of Mandan was given its name after the Native American drive known as Mandan. The first military presence in the region was Fort Rice established in July 1864. The city continues to distribute grain, livestock, and dairy operations aided by the railroad connection. The city has a large cattle and food processing plant. Today Morton County is home to approximately 18,331 residents.

NEW SALEMIn April 1882 John Christiansen arrived in the area of what is now New Salem. He brought household goods, three horses, some lumber and machinery for the rest of the settlers on the way. It was a Colonization Bureau out of Chicago that sent settlers to the area and gave the colony its independence for $600. In April 1883 New Salem was founded. The colony had been working hard building a church, land office, lumber yard, drugstore, and general store by the end of 1883. Today the population is around 950 residents.

Morton County Communities


Morton County was originally organized on March 23, 1878. The eastern section of the county was attached to Burleigh County later that year then reattached in 1881 and re-orga-nized on February 18, 1881. The current boundaries of the county were established in 1916. A 1738 French expedition led by Louis Verendry is the earliest record of non Native American visitors to the Morton County area. Morton County was named after Oliver Perry Morton, the Governor of Indiana. Today Morton County is home to approximately 27,734 residents.

Use checklistsIf you are operating under a deadline or you have a lot of tasks to accomplish, a checklist will help you keep you fo-

cused and on track.

Schedule breaksTaking breaks is important because it allows your body and mind to get organized. If you schedule your breaks regularly it allows your mind to structure your day better. It would be hard for most people to do but if you can take a 10-20 minute power nap right after lunch it may help you feel energized

and refreshed!

Clear your clutterIt is important to keep a clean work station because order will help your mind focus on accomplishing your goals. Even if it looks like a mess to others having a place for everything

will help anybody focus and be more productive.

Get FitBeing in shape and exercising regularly will help keep you energized throughout the day.


Productivity tips

Get up earlierSome of the most successful people in the world start their days before 6 a.m. It may be hard at first, but you can start by waking up 15 minutes earlier and gradually increase the time from there. Soon enough you will be awake and get-ting things done before most people are out of bed. That will allow you a head start on everybody else.

Start with “me time”First thing in the morning go through all of your social media posts, respond to all of the little things that others need you to so they can get to work and set up a schedule for the rest of your day. Getting organized in the morning will help the rest of the day go smoother.

Sleep wellWhile waking up early is important, so is going to bed early. The bare minimum a person needs to sleep is 7-8 hours at a time to stay healthy. You will be able to think more clearly and make better decisions if you have a good night’s sleep.

Use time-blockingTake your to-do list and block off a time to get each item done. Make sure all of your desktop, online, mobile, and physical calendar’s are in sync. You want to be on the same page with all your devices.Once you have the time set aside to accomplish a task do not get distracted. If turning off your phone and locking your-self in a room is what it takes, then do that!

Here are 5 Suggestionsfor a safeand successfulhunting experience:

1.2.3.

4.5.

Get a detailed map of the area you are hunting, review it before you leave, and carry it with you in the field.Carry a compass and know how to use it. Decide ahead of time the direction to head for if you get lost or disoriented.Weather can change quickly, so hunters should carry a simple survival kit and be prepared for an unexpected overnight stay in the field. The survival kit should contain a rope, a knife, water, waterproof matches, an emergency shelter, and first aid sup-plies.If you are on the water, make sure to wear a personal flotation device (life preserver). Know your hunting partners’ physical and emotion-al limitations, as well as your own, and don’t push your partners or yourself beyond those limits.

Healthy Habits

Eat BreakfastA healthy balanced breakfast every morning is very important. It allows your body to run smoothly throughout the day and can help with weight control while lowering your cholesterol levels. It will improve things like concentration, performance and strength. Also studies have shown that women who skip breakfast have a higher chance of developing diabetes and men who skip breakfast have a higher chance for heart disease.

Eat Your GreensLeafy greens and vegetables contain phytochemicals which help to fight diseases. This will help against things like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancer and strokes. Vegetables are also rich in fiber which helps with hunger. The recommended amount of vegetables for the average person is around 2 ½ cups a day.

Drink Enough WaterMany people don’t get enough water throughout the day. It is recommended that the average person drinks roughly a half gallon a day which is equal to about eight 8 ounce glasses. Water helps rid the body of toxins and with unwanted weight gain by flushing out by-products of fat in your system. Water also helps your immune system, energy levels, focus and mood.


Take a Walk During Lunch BreakYour body and mind benefit greatly when getting out for a quick walk. A walk can help with weight management, blood pressure, bone strength, balance and coordination. Plus it helps you focus by getting extra blood flow and oxygen to your brain. Also a lot of people don’t get enough vitamin D in their diet and getting outside is one of the easiest ways to ensure you are getting your vitamin D.

Get Up and MoveIt is important to try and get around 10,000 steps in per day. It is very hard on our bodies when we are slumped over a desk or kicked back in a recliner all day. Studies have shown that just from walking more you can lower your risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. It may be hard to get the 10,000 steps in every day but doing small things like getting up from your desk every so often and doing a lap around the office or parking farther away from your destination will help.

Floss and BrushThis might not seem like the most significant

health issue but it is very important. If you don’t floss and brush daily you build up plaque on

your teeth and at the gum lines. This can lead to things like gum disease and if not treated can enter the bloodstream and trigger

inflammation in the arteries causing things like heart disease, diabetes,

erectile dysfunction in males and delayed conception for women.

Don’t like all the dirt in your fingernails while you work in the garden? Before you go out, run your fingernails across a bar of

soap and you’ll effectively seal the undersides of your nails so dirt cannot accumulate. Then, after you are all done gardening, use a toothpick or nailbrush to remove the soap and your nails will be sparkling clean.

Spray vegetable oil on your string trimmer to help prevent jamming or breaking (Treat before installing string in trimmer).


Make a convenient measuring tool out of a long handled garden tool by laying it on the ground next to a tape measure. Use a permanent marker to copy the inches and feet. Next time you are spacing plants you already have a dual-purpose measur-ing tool in your hand!

Write the names of your plants (With a permanent marker) on the flat parts of stones of any size and lay them in front of your plants for natural looking markers.

The next time you boil or steam vegetables, use the leftover water to water potted patio plants, and you’ll be suprised at how the plants grow with “vege-soup.”

You can use leftover tea and coffee grounds to help acidify the soil of acid-loving plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, gardenias and blueberries. A light sprinkle of about 1/4 of an inch applied once a month will help keep the pH of the soil on the acidic side.

You can use chamomile tea to control damping-off fungus, which often attacks young seedlings quite suddenly. Just add some tea to the soil around the soil of seedlings once a week for healthy plant.

Here is a really quick way to dry out your herbs: Just lay a sheet of newspaper on the seat of your car, arrange the herbs in a single layer, then roll up the windows and shut the car doors. Your herbs will be dry in no time!

Use your blender to grind up egg shells. Just like a mother bird chews up worms for the baby birds making the food easier to digest, grinding eggshells makes it easy for your garden to absorb the calcium egg shells retain.

Animals (cats especially) seem to think all of the hard work you’ve put into your garden looks like a huge litter box. To keep them from pooping on your basil and other plants, strategically place a few plastic forks around your plants to deter them from destroying your fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables.


Safety tipsPARENTS:• Teach your kids that an emergency is when you need help from a doctor, a police officer or a firefighter.

• Designate a safe place by your house that a child can go to if they need help right away.

• Have your kids memorize your address and phone numbers. They should also know your full name and where you work.

KIDS:FIRE SAFETY• If you or someone else is on fire - remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL. Wrap a blanket on the person to help put out the fire.

• If there is a fire, leave the house as fast as you can! Crawl on the floor to avoid smoke and if the door is hot, don’t open it - find another way out.

• Learn all the fire exits in your house. Assign a safe place outside for everyone to meet in case of a fire emergency.

HOME ALONE• Never tell anyone that you are home alone.

• If someone calls and asks for your mom and dad, tell them “They cannot come to the phone right now, can you please call back later?”

• Do not answer the door, unless it is someone that you know your parents have okay‘d them to come over.


FIRST AID FOR INSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXIS & POISON SAFETYINSECT BITES/ANAPHYLAXISAnaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction from insect bites (latex, food and drug allergies can also cause Anaphylaxis). Typical symptoms include hives, the swelling of lips or eyes, swollen throat, drop in blood pressure, light headedness, confusion, nausea or diarrhea. If someone is having an allergic reaction from an insect bite seek medical attention immediately.

POISON PREVENTIONTeach your children about poison and how it can look like a food or drink. They should always ask an adult before eating or drinking anything. Have them learn the

poison control phone number: 1-800-222-1222 and keep it programmed or posted near all your phones. Here are some prevention tips.

Lock up your poisons and medications. Keep them out of the reach of children, lock them up if possible. Make sure your children understand that medicine is not candy.

Follow directions carefully. Read your labels. Be sure to use and store all poisons and medications properly according to recommendations.

Keep your pets safe from household chemicals, too. Don’t allow pets near areas that have just been cleaned with chemicals, such as freshly mopped floors or bleached bathtubs and sinks. Clean up any antifreeze/coolant spills. Pets like the flavor but they can die if they ingest it. Store poisonous foods or plants in areas that your pets cannot access. Call your local emergency veterinary hospital if you believe your pet has been poisoned.


Safety tipsFIRST AID FOR BURNS & CHOKING

BURNSFor minor 1st and 2nd degree burns smaller than 3” in diameter: Cool the Burn. Run cool water over the burned area for 5 minutes, or until the pain diminishes. Never put ice on a burn!

Bandage the burn with sterile gauze: It is important to use loosely wrapped gauze. This will avoid pressure and the bandage pro-tects blisters. NEVER put lotions, vaseline, ointments or butter on burn. Do not break any blis-ters, which can cause infection.

Take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen or Acetaminophen to relieve pain: Minor burns usually heal with these basic treatments. Be aware for signs of infection which may include: increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If symptoms develop, seek medical help. Avoid tanning the burned area for at least a year. Protect the area with sun-screen outdoors. Avoid giving aspirin to children.

For 3rd degree burns/all major burns - DIAL 911DO NOT run cold water over large severe burns - this can cause shock.DO NOT remove burnt clothing.Check for signs of breathing/coughing/movement.If there are no signs of breathing begin CPR.Elevate burned areas above heart level, if possible.Cover the burn(s) with cool, sterile, moist bandages, towels or cloth.

CHOKINGMost people clutch at their throats when choking, an obvious symbol for help. However, if a person isn’t giving that signal, be alert for these indications. Inability to talk, difficulty breath-ing or noisy breathing, inability to cough forcefully, skin/lips/nails turning blue, loss of con-sciousness.

The Red Cross recommends a “five-and-five” method for first aid: First give five blows between the person’s shoulders with the heel of your hand. Second, perform the Heimlich maneuver

(abdominal thrusts) five times. Alternate between five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.

IN AN EMERGENCY, DIAL 911
