Section A - Oakes Times, Thursday, March 10, 2016
Hello,
I am writing this from a motel
computer in Charleston, S.C.
So if I get mad and you hear a
crash, it is the hotel computer
going through the nearby door.
I don't have a lot of computer
skills when I am working with
a strange keyboard. To tell the
truth, I don't have a lot of skills
at anything, other than making a
pretty good omelette.
As I mentioned last week,
I was taking my first wife on a
vacation. To a place 20 degrees
colder than southwest North Da-
kota. I posted pictures of Shir-
ley on Facebook. We went on a
harbor tour. She was dressed in
a down filled Carhart jacket and
had her winter scarf wrapped
around her neck. If she could
have, she would have worn her
wool lined mittens and her face
mask. But you don't pack those
for a vacation to the south in the
w nter. My mistake. And actu-
ally, it was quite comfortable, if
you stayed indoors.
The ad for the Hotel said
"Ocean view rooms"! Wonder-
ful. Even if it is a little chilly, it

is nice to see the ocean. And
maybe there is an ocean view,
if you are higher up, and on the
ocean side of the hotel. Our side
looks down on the beautiful ho-
tel pool! The ad didn't mention
the pool was outside and closed
because of the thin film of ice on
the water. It wouldn't have been
thick enough to play hockey, but
it would have been good for a
"polar plunge".
The food has been wonder-
ful. And you know I like food. I
mean, rve had oysters on the
half shell, something my travel
mates find completely disgust-
ing. I try to explain that they
are good, that even the oys-
ters enjoy it, but to no avail. I've
had salmon and flounder and
shrimp and lamb and shepard
pie. I've had key lime pie and
Carolina Hurricanes and Sam
Adams beer. I've had crab legs
and crab souffle and shrimp and
grits. I've had fried chicken on
waffles and fiat iron steak on
macaroni.

~We have toured Civil War
and Revolutionary War sites.
We have walked miles in state
parks where the first settlers
in South Carolina carved out a
meek and meager living. This
morning we are headed for the
first museum built in the United
States. I have seen Fort Sumpt-
er and Fort Johnson. I have
toasted the Union in Savannah
and toasted the signers of the
Declaration of Independence
on Church Street. I have walked
down market square and mar-
veled at the cobblestone streets
and the houses that predate a
white guy being in the Dakotas.
But I am looking forward to
seeing the wide open prairies of
Dakota, where you don't have
to climb up on a hotel to see
more than a quarter mile.
Right now, I am going to load

A New Twist on a
Traditional Event
Oakes Public Schools will be
hosting spring Parent/Teacher
Conferences on Thursday,
March 31 from 4:00 p.m. - 9:00
p.m. in the south gym. While
inviting parents in to meet with
teachers has been a time-
old tradition, conferences for
students and their parents in
grades 7 - 12 will look a little
different this spring at Oakes
Junior/Senior High School.
Oakes secondary teachers are
anxious to have student-led
conferences this spring in order
to give students an opportu-
nity to celebrate and share their
accomplishments in the class-
room with their parents and to
set goals for continued growth
with parent and teacher input.

Cues from parent surveys after
fall conferences indicated a
desire for student-led confer-
ences. Positive feedback from
our elementary colleagues
already facilitating student-led
conferences was also a factor
in the decision to change things
up for this year's OHS spring
conferences. While elementary
student-led conferences in our
district have been set up by
appointment, conferences for
grades 7-12 will still be an open
invitation atmosphere with par-
ents and students coming in to
see teachers during the hours
of 4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at their
convenience. Please report to
the new centralized office to
pick up your student's sched-
ules prior to proceeding to the
south gym to find the teachers.
In addition to having students
lead the discussion during con-
ferences, students in grades
7-12 and their parents will have
an opportunity to win door priz-
es at the event. Students have
a shot at winning Oakes Bucks
while parents could win one of
two prizes: a 2016-2017 Family
Activity Pass or a Kindle Fire.
In addition, parents attend-
ing will have an opportunity to
tour our new centralized office
area and expanded library on
March 31, between conference
meetings. We look forward to
seeing a large turnout at con-
ferences and our new building
project open house on March
31! Please call the school with
any questions you may have
concerning spring conferences.

The Oakes Boys Basketball
team ended their season Monday
(2/29) with a loss to the LaMoure
Loboes. The Tornadoes would
play a tough three quarters versus
a good Loboe team but were out-
scored in the final frame 26-13 los-
ing 66-50.
It was a season of ups and
downs for the squad with the loss
of nine seniors from last year's
team; it took awhile for Oakes to
come together. When playing
their best ball, the team was giv-
ing close .games to any foe that
would step into the gym with them.
All this would culminate into an
8 win and 13 loss season for the
boys and some outstanding ef-
forts against heavy hitters such as,
Edgeley-Kulm, Linton, Carrington,
and Milnor-North Sargent.
