33 Fantastic Fleischkueckle

Fleischkueckle (also fl eischkuekle or fl eishkuekla) is a type of meat pie wrapped in dough, similar to a Cornish pasty or Russian chiburekki. The dish is a traditional German-from-Russia recipe and through immigration became an addition to the cuisine of North Dakota. The dish is also popular among the many German-from-Russia immigrant families of South Dakota. Fleischkueckle is especially popular around the Mercer County area of North Dakota and is served in local restaurants. It is made locally and distributed. Fleischkuekle is typically served hot from a deep fryer. Hot oil may pool inside when the breading is completely sealed, making it a sensible precaution to poke and drain any excess before eating. In Mercer County, diners typically provide pickles and ketchup on the side. The dish is served with gravy in Fargo. A slice of cheese on top is not an uncommon request.

The Coteau Properties Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the North American Coal Corporation, and operates the Freedom Mine located 10 miles northwest of Beulah. The Freedom Mine is America’s largest lignite coal mine, producing approximately 14 million tons of lignite coal annually.

37 Celebrating a Hazen success

By Daniel Arens

As the kids at the Energy Capital Cooperative Child Care Center celebrate the Christmas season, people around the area can celebrate the impact this organization has had in Hazen and Mercer County. “Things are going very good,” Dana Santini, child care director, said. “We have 75 kids enrolled currently.” Numbers have grown for the center since it began operating only a year and a half ago. Santini said the large enrollment and busy schedules are proof of the need the area has for child care services. “It just took off like a rocket,” she said. “It’s just been spectacular.” second child care center in Beulah, although there have In order to provide for the increased number of kids not been any defi nitive plans made yet on that regard.

From 9 to 11 a.m., there is a basic preschool-type education program the kids engage in, followed by lunch and a further play period. Santini said the afternoon is pretty loose up until the kids are picked up by their parents. While the primary goal of the child care center is to hold their current course steady, the board continues to look into several potential changes for the future. One of their goals is to eventually have a board transition, in which the founding members gradually hand over the reins of the board to parents. As for the facility itself, Santini said the top priority is getting new carpet put in. She said this will likely take place in the spring, when the new carpet installation can be coordinated with the child care center’s operations more easily. Discussions are also still ongoing about opening a 38 Hazen Hometown Hero Banner Project

Since March 2019, the Hazen Hometown Hero Banner Project continues to spark much conversation between residents and visitors. The object of the project is to honor, show respect and appreciation, and celebrate past and present veterans. The banners also enhance Main Street and beyond, taking Governor Burgum’s Main Street Initiative to heart. Each banner includes the veterans’ name, rank, picture and sponsor information. Banners are proudly displayed on Main Street and throughout Hazen from May until September. Each banner will be exhibited for two years, at which time the sponsor can either re-sponsor or have the banner as a keepsake. The Hazen Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors was simply amazed by the support and generosity shown during the initial stages. The goal was to have 30 banners sponsored, but at the end of the season, the number had grown to 86 with a waiting list for next year. Hazen’s tagline is Explore and Connect. What a great opportunity for residents and visitors to go for a relaxing walk or bike ride while exploring and connecting Hazen’s hometown history from those who we keep in our hearts and minds.
