It has been a whirlwind number
of days for Beck-Sherven-Post
members and some North Dako-
ta Boys State and Girls state lead-
ers. William Wilber and Marlys
Aubol joined forces with three
young representatives who vol-
unteered to visit area schools with
information about American Le-
gion Boys State and Girls State op-
portunities.
Even Kritzberger, age 19 from
Hillsboro, 18-year-old Samantha
Nordmark from Rolla and Dawson
Schefter, 18, from Langdon vol-
unteered to visit over 20 area
schools. The group disseminated
information about the program
and encouraged high school jun-
iors to attend the programs in
• June of this year.
Boys and Girls State programs
are described as an exciting week-
long program that gives partici-
pants a firsthand experience run-
ning state government. There are
no lectures, no classrooms -just
hands on situations that let par-
ticipants take charge and make de-
cisions. The program seeks young
men and women who have com-
pleted their junior year of high
school and are willing to work to-
gether in competitions and devel-
op your talents and leadership
skills. Participants meet new peo-
ple and experience campus life.
North Dakota Boys State alum-
ni include state leaders in business,
law and medicine. Also included
are former and current Members
of Congress including former gov-
ernor and United States Senator
John Hoeven, former Governor
and United States Agriculture Sec-
retary Ed Schafer, Governor Doug
Burgum and legendary champi-
onship Chicago Bulls and L.A.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson. Gov-
ernor Burgum will attend the 2017
Boys State session.

using government as the tool,"
Wilber said.
Despite the fact proponents
know the mere mention of gov-
ernment or anything close to it
may cause eyes to roll, there is no
shortage of excitement for the
programs from attendees.
"Boys State completely
changed my life. The American
Legion sees the potential in young
men and women and gives them
an opportunity to explore it. The
program brings together youth
from all corners of the state and
gives them the opportunity to cre-
ate run their own govern-
ment. From Governor, legisla-
tors, ag commissioner and mayors,
participants learn the responsi-
bilities of each office. For me it

Aubol said.
Eighteen year old Samantha
Nordmark from Rolla couldn't
wait to lace up her shoes and get
out on the recruitment trail with the
group.
"I have gained so much from
North Dakota Gifts State. This pro-
gram changed my life. After at-
tending the program, I have ma-
tured into a much more civic
minded community member with
a new respect for the American Le-
gion and Auxiliary members. I
'have gained some new leader-
ship skills and opportunities as
well. I now volunteer my time
across the state to help promote the
program to high school Juniors in
hope they, too, will decide to at-
tend Girls State because I know it
will change their lives, too," Nord-
mark said.
The dates for the 2017 Boys
and Girls State are scheduled for
June 11 through 16. However,
Boys State is held at the North
Dakota State College of Science in
Wahpeton. Girls State is held at the
University of North Dakota in
Grand Forks. More information
and registration forms are available
at www.NDGirlsState.org or
