Crme the butter and sugars. Add the 2 well beaten eggs,

blended, add the peanuts. Drop by teaspoonful on a cookie
sheet, bake in moderate oven for 15 minutes.

Combine flour, salt, soda, baking powder; set aside. Crme
margarine with both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat the
eggs well, and then add milk and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients
into batter, again mixing well.
Fold in oatmeal, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by
teaspoonful on a greased baking sheet. Bake until light brown
around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet

Veterans,ofNDtake note
By Dan Stenvold
PARK RIVER, N.D. -- I've been asked as a state commander to ex-
plain a new program sponsored by Job Service North Dakota. The pro-
gram is called SkillbuildND. Job Service has a $2.1 inillion dollar grant
to help train veterans and Native American people in our state. It's a pro-
gram that caters to the shortage of workers in western North Dakota.
Training for jobs such as truck driving, welding, GIS technicians, au-
tomotive and diesel master technicians, carpentry, building construction,
plumbing, electrical technology, heating and air conditioning and petro-
leum production technology just to name a few.
This grant is a onethaae thing, use it or lose it! The state will pay for
EVERYTHING, associated with these classes. This program is basically
a "free ride" for anyone that qualifies.
The state is looking for 220 students and as of right now they have I 0.
Come on veterans and Native Americans; let's show the state that we can
do this!
Contact your local Job Service Office for immediate response to a pro-
gram that is "'to good to be true"

Elf on the Shelf offers a
magical world of family fun
By John Rosinski
ROLLA, N.D. -- Pure chaos, or
more than usual, has fallen upon
my quiet home this month.
My twins are 5 years old, and
are joined by their 2-year-old
brother.
Together, the three of them are
the perfect age for anything that
requires an imagination, including
Santa Claus.
With the spirit of Christmas in
mind, my wife decided to start a
tradition this year that I would
highly recommend to anyone with
children.
The Elf on the Shelf book was
introduced to our home last week,
and it's been a crazy scene ever
since. For those wondering, Elf on
the Shelf is a book annovaacing how
Santa Claus deploys an elf to keep
en eye on things in a particular
home. Each night, the elf travels to
the North Pole to update Santa if
kids have been naughty or nice.
Jessica read the story to our lit-
tle ones, and they have bought into
every word of it. The elf has been
named Fred. He sits on our piano,
overlooking the living room and
kitchen, and he can't be touched.
It's what Fred does at night that
really has our kids bubbling with
excitement each morning. On the
first night, all three kids told Fred
goodnight and thought nothing of
it. When they got up the next mona-
ing, they noticed Fred wasn't on
the piano. They looked around a
bit, and discovered Fred on the
kitchen table. Somehow, he got into
our flour, spread a bunch of it
the -- 1

around, and made a snow angle out
of it. The kids absolutely couldn't
believe it.
Jessica said only morns and
dads could touch him, so she
cahnly put him back on his perch
on the piano.
The next morning, the kids
couldn't wait to see what hap-
pened. This time, Fred had gath-
ered several of their stuffed ani-
mals and had them all sitting nicely
in a row. There was Fred, with a
book open, reading them a story.
,leffry wasparticularly alarmed be-
cause Fred had taken his pillow pet
right out from under him while he
was sleeping. The next night, he
was clutching it with both hands,
asking Jessica to keep an eye on it.
Since then, Fred has sabotaged
our Nintendo Wii remotes to play
some games, written a message on
the mirror from Santa himself; and
seamlessly brought our family a
little closer. He's also hopefully
found a way to cement himself in
the hearts of my children for years
to comc.
