Here is some good news submitted to The World Headquarters of

The Gladstone Good News

Oh my God! The top 10 list is hilarious! I MAY be a Gladstonian. I’ve thought about picking off

a pheasant from my office window. I would never do it, but the fact that it even crossed my

mind probably counts. Sent in from K.T. in Dickinson referring to the May issue

Are you still accepting photos of people skating? Sent in from A.M. in Gladstone referring to May issue

Answer: Yes, please send in what you like. I can’t guarantee I will be able to put your photos in, but I will try. If I

don’t post them right away I might post them in a future issue. Email is [email protected]

We are having a school reunion and car show, can we post information about this in the

Gladstone Good News? Sent in from F.M. in Lefor

Answer: I don’t see why not. Send me what you have and I will try to work it in.

Thanks Haylee for sending in

your photo of you and Bella.

After seeing this great photo, I

think in the next issue I will

put Gladstonians with their

pet pictures in. Send in a

photo of you and your pet.

And I will try to post it.

“Never forget that the purpose for which a

man lives is the improvement of the man

himself, so that he may go out of this world

having, in his great sphere or his small one,

done some little good for his fellow creatures

and labored a little to diminish the sin and

sorrow that are in the world.” William E. Gladstone

I want to answer a couple of comments and questions about the Gladstone

Good News. First of all, the Gladstone Good News is just that - Good News! The

reason for the Gladstone Good News is that it is a Pay It Forward magazine. This

means that it is given out free of charge in order to make a positive statement about

the people it touches. It’s not about the money, it’s about the kindness and

positivity that it brings. It’s that simple.

Advertising is also free. To have an ad in the magazine, all you have to do is to

Pay It Forward to someone you do not know, and Pay It Forward with no

expectations in return. If you choose to advertise, then all I ask is that you tell what

you did, so that the Gladstone Good News can tell others. It’s not about the details,

it’s about the action of making a difference. If you want to be anonymous about

paying it forward that’s ok too.

“Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.”

“I think about this often and try to live my life accordingly. I don’t want to be

remembered as someone who constantly has a negative opinion about people or

things. I’d much rather be remembered for encouraging and taking time to

appreciate the differences whether it be talents, gifts, personality, ect. of others.” This is not my quote, but it says how I feel perfectly.

“Denny’s Ancestors” The result of countless minutes of research.

Below is a painting of David and

Goliath, also in Denny’s family lineage. I

guess you can’t win them all.

Our crack research team

found that Denny’s ancestors

moved to Japan for several

years. They trained one of their

sons in the Art of Sumo. He was

known as “Little Mosquito.”

Archeologists have come to the

conclusion that indeed, the second from

the right is Denny’s ancestor.

Turns out Denny is related to

Napoleon. I see the resemblance.

“To Plant a garden, is to believe in

the future.” Audrey Hepburn

Iris is my favorite flower. My very first summer job was working in a ½ acre Iris garden.

I plan on planting Iris, Hosta and Gladiola among other things in my Gladstone garden.

These plants are very hardy and easy to take care of. As a rule I usually use red, blue and pink for

color combinations. But this white iris is hard to pass on.

Hanging out at the Pub

Gladstone Australia: A man was cited and fined $400.00 for doing donuts and making

noise in a parking lot in Gladstone. He told the judge that he was trying to get a bee out of his car.

Okay, I’ll buy that.

Gladstone Michigan:

Woman saves husband from

bear attack by hitting bear

over the head with a shoot

gun. The bear then ran away.

The reason she used

the shoot gun to hit the bear

was because she didn’t know

how to load the shells.

Sometimes I come across some

things that just make me scratch my

head. I found this. “Virginia is for

Lovers” and under their Places to go

and Things to do section they have

this ad for a tank museum.

Maybe in some weird way

it might be romantic… What do you mean it might

be romantic!!!

Gary Greff has created a new

tavern and retreat in Regent. Giving of

his talents and hard work on the

enchanted Highway project for over

twenty years, Gary has now created a

great space in the old Regent High

School. Recently, nineteen suites were

completed to go along with the great

gym and now the Medieval Tavern. A

restaurant is also on the way. Now you

will be able to make the fun trip out and

enjoy his castle theme retreat. I know

I’m always looking for something new

and this is it….give it a try.

Great News…Now, at the beginning of the Enchanted Highway you can visit Larry Praus’

The Pub. At the end of the Enchanted Highway you can enjoy Gary Greff’s Medieval Tavern.

Larry and crew are once again improving the menu, and trying new items. The Pub wants you to

have a good time and enjoy good food at The Pub. Ask about their new sandwich, it’s very good. I also

found out that if you like your beer cold and in a cold glass, they’ve got that too. Larry is making things

better all the time. Larry takes great pride in what he does, and The Pub is no exception. Thanks Larry

Haylee Wax Gladstonian of the month

Female ownership of farms in the United States has risen every year for the

last fifteen years. It is estimated that at least 28% of all farms are now owned by

women. In North Dakota that number is only 10%. The reason for the difference

in North Dakota is that farming is more capital intensive. The type of crops that

are grown in this region and the fewer number of crop varieties, results in higher

equipment usage, thus greater capital is needed.

Everybody knows Haylee Wax. She is outgoing, loves farming, family and is

fearless. Women farmers should take notice of Haylee. She is going to make a

difference. Quality and pride in what she does, is over the top, and she believes

that will make her even more successful. Her father instilled a great passion in her

for the farm life. Haylee is now in her mid twenties, and I love this statement that

she made, “I have been to California many times, but I would rather go to a

cotton gin or farm and watch their operation, than do that Disneyland crap.” Now

that’s a hardcore farmer for you.

June 1,



Bismarck State should be a four year program, they gave me hands on

experience in what I needed to learn, and they were great. Haylee graduated

from college and she will combine a degree with her experience to create a good

life for herself. There is no doubt that she is a very motivated person.

The Heart River meanders around their property and that is just fine by Haylee.

Lefor is flatlander, God’s country, but flatlander. I think she likes the river more

right now, but that might change. Haylee is like the river, she goes with the flow.

“It’s hard work, but it’s my work.

It’s farming, but it’s my home.”

Haylee Wax

“I like to make stuff for

the garden” Says Haylee.

When she is not working

or thinking about the farm

she likes to make things

out of wood. She meet a

man she loves. She is doing

what she loves. Life is good

for Haylee Wax, she

deserves it. I know this is an earlier photo, but it is great in so many ways.

The family 1965 Chevelle

Thank you Haylee

One out of every twelve jobs in the economy is connected to the farm in one way or another.

Gladestone is a small town, but many people know about

Gladestone. The town has quite a reputation among the surrounding

towns. Some of the reputation is deserved, some not. The people in

Gladestone see themselves as different, and sometimes they

perpetuate the stereotype just because they can. Take Bob Park for

example, he always seems to have everything under control, but there

always seems to be this nagging sense that things aren’t always as they

seem.

“Gosh, we have been talking for two hours” says Bob, “I got to

go.” Mary didn’t realize the time either as the café was empty the

whole time. The two just got lost in their conversation. Mary jumps up

Gladestone, West Dakota

Gladestone is a town where all the men are handsome and strong and the

women are beautiful and smart. The dogs don’t bark or bite and every child is

an angel.

from the chair that she had been sitting on, a little embarrassed that

she had gotten into such an intimate conversation with Bob. She likes

Bob, but she has never really thought of Bob on any level other than a

customer coming into the café. Now she felt somewhat vulnerable.

“Well Hon, I got to get back to work,” turning her back to Bob and

walking back to the long oak bar. “Okay Mary, see you later.” says Bob,

feeling a little confused. Bob heads to the door and leaves into the

bright sunlit afternoon.

Spike heads down Layne street. Layne is an old established street,

with large shade trees protecting the white clad houses and their finely

trimmed lawns from the sun. He turns his head left and right looking

and sniffing the air in both directions as he passes. The roses on the

white picket fences mingle with the smell of grass and the scent of

other dogs in the neighborhood.
