Deputy Chief of Mission Lee Brudvig talks about his home state of North Dakota. #50states #ND
Transcript:
Hello, I'm Lee Brudvig, Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, and I want to tell you about my home state, North Dakota.
Not a lot of people hail from North Dakota. Although relatively large in size, North Dakota is the 3rd least populous state, with less than 700,000 inhabitants.
North Dakota is located in the northern Midwest of the United States. The city of Rugby marks the geographical center of the North American continent. North Dakota is bordered by Minnesota, Montana, South Dakota, and Canada. The capital is Bismarck but the largest city is Fargo, home to about one sixth of the state's population.
My hometown is Aneta, which is known for production of wheat and turkeys. My family still has a large farm in the area producing mainly Durham wheat, used to make the best pasta in the world by many countries including Italy!
North Dakota has exceptionally cold winters, ranking second only behind Alaska. However ND isn't cold year round. In summer, temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees.
The first Europeans to explore North Dakota were French Canadians in 1738. They traded goods with the Mandan Native American tribes. Most of North Dakota was part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. On March 2, 1861, President James Buchanan signed a bill creating the Dakota Territory, which originally included the area covered today by both Dakotas as well as parts of Montana and Wyoming. In 1889, both North and South Dakota became states simultaneously. Alphabetically speaking, North Dakota is the 39th state and South Dakota the 40th.
Being so far inland, North Dakota wasn't truly settled until the late 19th century when railroads were built. After that, homesteaders quickly began farming the land, often living in sod houses. Nearly all of the settlers were of German and Scandinavian heritage.
In fact, one of those settlers was my great Grandfather on my mother's side, Lars Hillesland. He left in Norway in 1880 with three brothers to homestead in North Dakota. Let me show you a picture of his first home (picture of sod house). He and his brothers prospered and multiplied. Here is a picture of him with my grandmother and their nine children. My grandmother is on the far right. And here is a picture of the four brothers and their offspring in 1934!
Agriculture remains the leading industry in North Dakota. Ninety percent of North Dakota is devoted to crops. It's the largest producer of grains such as barley and durum wheat in the US. Energy is another of North Dakota's major industries. North Dakota is the 4th leading producer of crude oil in the US. Its flat, unbroken landscape makes it ideal for wind energy.
My state is thriving. Since 2001, North Dakotans' personal income has grown nearly 25 percent. At 3%, North Dakota's unemployment rate is the lowest in nation. This economic boom can be attributed to the oil rush in 2008.
If you want to commune with nature, this large and less populated state is the place to visit. Every year tourists come to enjoy the untouched beauty the state has to offer. Popular tourist activities include hunting, fishing and hiking.
At the Canadian border, you'll find the International Peace Garden, where more than 150,000 flowers are planted every year. This garden, established in 1932, earned North Dakota its nickname: the peace garden state.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the state's southwest corner is an ideal destination for the outdoors lover. Aside from miles of hiking and riding trails, the park is one of the few places in the US where horses and bison roam free. The park borders the badlands and features some of the most unique landscape in the region.
North Dakota has its own culture too. Check out the United Tribes International Powwow, one of the largest in the nation. The powwow features Native American parades, singing, dancing, music and regalia. In fact, the Native American culture is so important in this area, that even the name, Dakota comes from the Sioux Indian word for friend.
My favorite thing about North Dakota is the wide open spaces. The state is mostly flat with huge farms. In the summer the wind on the wheat looks live waves on a golden ocean. In the winter the wind blows snow against the farmhouses and sometimes covers then. As a child, I remember being able to walk from the snowbanks on to the rooftop of the family farm.

Minot, ND International Airport
Minot International Airport covers an area of 1,430 acres (580 ha) which contains two runways: 13/31 with a 7,700 x 150 ft (2,347 x 46 m) concrete surface and 8/26 with a 6,350 x 100 ft (1,935 x 30 m) asphalt surface with two jetway served gates at the terminal. For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2007, the airport had 42,474 aircraft operations, an average of 116 per day: 70% general aviation, 14% air taxi, 11% military and 5% scheduled commercial.[1]
Pietsch Aviation and Bessette Aviation are based at the airport, both offer flight training and general aircraft services. There is a BP-branded fueling station. The City of Minot operates a general aviation terminal with flight service operations.
Minot International Airport (IATA: MOT, ICAO: KMOT, FAA LID: MOT) is a public airport located two miles (3 km) north of Downtown Minot on North Hill in Minot, a city in Ward County, North Dakota, United States. It is owned by the City of Minot.[1] The airport director is Andy Solsvig.
Delta Air Lines currently operates eight daily flights to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. Some of these flights are Delta Connection flights, but Delta also, as of 2012, provides mainline service between Minneapolis-St. Paul and Minot,[3] something that is unusual for a city as small as Minot. Some of these flights are on larger two-class aircraft. The recent increase in flights and larger aircraft mean that Delta alone will be providing 528 seats per day to Minot.[4] Central and western North Dakota's booming oil industry has helped spur the demand for larger aircraft.
United Airlines became the airport's second airline beginning in June 2010, with service to Denver International Airport. Originally starting with two daily flights, United currently offers four round trip flights departing from Minot to and from Denver. The airline also flies three times-weekly charters to Houston, Texas.
Allegiant became the airport's third airline, providing twice-weekly direct air service to Las Vegas on October 22, 2010. Allegiant then added twice-weekly service to Phoenix-Mesa as well. The number of round-trip flights to both destinations fluctuates depending on demand, and can sometimes be has high as five flights per week. Passenger loads on these flights have stayed high, suggesting the possibility of additional destinations or frequency.
Frontier Airlines, with an announcement on August 15, 2012, became the airport's fourth airline and started service November 5, 2012 with one flight four days per week to Denver, Colorado. The original Frontier Airlines served Minot, on a route that connected it with Saskatoon, Regina and Denver, prior to that airline's bankruptcy and halting of operations in 1986.
Customs service is available for aircraft arriving from Canada and other countries. Minot International has no scheduled passenger airline service out of the country, but receives its international title (like many other airports) because of this customs service. The TSA fully searches all passengers and carry-on luggage prior to boarding, rather than using a selective process as is the case at major airports.
The airport offers pay parking and car rental services. Concessions are located past security and the Hangar Grill recently opened on the second floor.

Scandinavian Heritage Park - 1993 TV-PSA fundraiser with Mike Wold
Mike Wold is featured in this 1993 Public Service Announcement (PSA) as shown on KMOT-TV in Minot, North Dakota.
Yes, this was back in the analog days of television.
Another version of this TV-PSA is with Helen Silseth. How many other versions there were is unknown to this video poster. Likely candidates for other voice-overs might have been George B. Officer or Gol Stave Church committee chairman Myron D. Peterson, M.D. (1933 - 2002) Indeed, Dr. Peterson's headstone shows an etching of the Gol Stave Church and an inscription, He brought a piece of Norway to Minot. A circular courtyard honoring Dr. Peterson is just to the east of the church.
Kieth Darney, at the time of St. Mary's College in Bismarck, ND is the host voice-over for both (and likely other as-yet undiscovered versions) of these found PSAs.
The artist's rendition of the Scandinavian Heritage Park shows a Viking ship which was never realized. Other variances are evident, but overall the park is complete with the Visitor's Center, the faithful Gol Stave Church replica (dedicated 2000), the Stabbur, the Sigdal House and other Norway, Finnish or Scandinavian-themed buildings and features (Danish Mill, Waterfall-Fjord, rivers & ponds, statuary and sauna).
With the discovery of this 1993 PSA, we see the history of PSA fundraising, the history of cultural promotion and the history of building history (constructing, presenting and preserving historical items, artifacts, replicas and buildings).
Paul and the Chickens is the music introduction and bed for the announcer voice-overs. It is possible the melody is known by other names and is associated with other texts. The Western Plains Children's Choir (also of Minot, ND) has sung Paul and the Chickens in past annual Norsk Hostfests held at the State Fair Center in Minot.
This 1993 TV-PSA pledge solicitation for the Scandinavian Heritage Park was found on a VHS cassette video tape recorded in SLP mode, which allowed for long recordings and playback, but at the expense of video quality. Recording several episodes of Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, was the original purpose of this home VHS recording.
Anyone would be welcome to post better-quality and additional versions of these fundraiser PSAs, if available.
This video has been posted on the occasion of the 40th annual Norsk Hostfest, 24 years after this fundraising PSA was broadcast.
