Lignite Energy Council
Teachers Seminar
BISMARCK, N.D. -- More
than 120 elementary and secondary
teachers experienced a role rever-
sal in June, as they became the stu-
dents at an educational seminar
conducted by the Lignite Energy
Council. The seminar, held June 16
- 19 at the National Energy Center
of Excellence on the Bismarck
State College campus (ND), in-
cluded educators from Minnesota,
Montana, South Dakota, Iowa,
Wyoming and North Dakota.
The seminar, titled "2014 Lignite
Education Seminar: Energy, Eco-
nomics and Environment," pro-
vided teachers with the information
and educational materials they need
to teach their students how lignite
is mined and used to produce energy
for homes, farms and businesses in
the Upper Midwest. The seminar
covered lignite's economic impact
on the region, as well as important
environmental issues affecting the
lignite industry.
North Dakota's lignite industry
supplies low cost, affordable elec-
tricity to 2 million customers in the
Upper Midwest. In North Dakota,
about 80 percent of the electricity
co.n. ,fr0m the slte's power pla!3ts
and residential electric rates in the
state are the lowest in the nation.
The lignite industry also provides
jobs to 4,000 employees who work
at the mines and plants and anoth-
er 13,000 indirect jobs.
As part of the seminar, the teach-
ers toured the Center Mine, Milton
R. Young Station, Falkirk Mine,
Coal Creek Station, the Freedom
Mine, Antelope Valley Station, and
the Great Plains Synfuels Plant.
Teachers who attended the sem-
inar and completed a lesson plan
could choose from three North
Dakota universities from which to
receive their graduate credits: Uni-
versity of North Dakota, North
Dakota State University & Minot
State University.
Over the years, the Lignite En-
ergy Council's Teacher Seminar
has received two prestigious awards.
It was the 2012 winner of the In-
terstate Mining Compact Com-
mission's mineral education award
in the public outreach category. In
2007, the Lignite Energy Council's
Teacher Seminar was recognized by
the American Coal Council for
"excellence in the advancement of
energy education."
Since 1986, more than 3,000
teacher haye ,attended the Lignite
Energy Council's teacher education

standing ambassador for Mayville
State, recruiting and helping to re-
tain countless numbers of stu-
dents. Mayville State bestowed Dr.
McMullen with the title Emeritus
Dean of Men, and he was honored
with the Mayville State Universi-
ty Distinguished Alumni Award in
2007.

cessful in their effort to purchase a 1925 Case
Model X Suburban Coupe originally belonging
to G.B Gunlogson and bring it back to North

The 1925 Case Model X Suburban Coupe is
an important link to Icelandic State Park and the
Historical Society who benefitted greatly from
the Gunlogson family's generosity. It is also fit-

landic State Park celebrates its 50th Anniversary.
The vehicle was recently purchased at an auc-
tion in Hampstead, Maryland and is in the process
of being shipped to North Dakota. Hopes are the
vehicle will be on display when Icelandic State
Park celebrates its anniversary on Sunday, July
20.
"It always amazes me when people or or-
ganizations get together for a common goal, what
can be accomplished," says Icelandic State
Park Manager Justin Robinson. "Even though
Icelandic State Park was involved, this was all
made possible through private donations. It is a
success story and fitting link of the settlement sto-
ry em and the relationship we have between our casions at Icelandic State Park and the museum.
