‘Four Bears’ document added to notable list
23 July 2012
The North Dakota Department of Transportation has announced that “Crossing the Water: An Oral History of Four Bears Bridge†has been named to the list of Notable Government Documents for 2011.
“Crossing the Water†is a DVD set produced by the NDDOT that uses historic photographs and video footage to illustrate the past of the three bridges that have been called “Four Bears.â€
The North Dakota Library Association nominated “Crossing the Water†for the Notable Documents ballot at its annual conference in 2011. The program recognizes North Dakota state agency documents of exceptional quality and usefulness.
All three NDLA submissions in 2011 were selected by the national committee. Joining “Crossing the Water†in representing North Dakota on the list are North Dakota Parks and Recreation’s “North Dakota Trail Guide†and the North Dakota Council of the Arts’ “Sundogs and Sunflowers: Folklore and Folk Art of the Northern Great Plains.â€

Loss of Memory in Pahlavi Prisons
In total, [I was in prison] about 6 years in two arrests. For the first time after several years, a soldier arranged my escape. I do not know why! Maybe he was one of the influential elements of Islamic groups. They took me to the hospital for the treatment of my hand, which was broken due to the callousness of an officer.Hajj Pilgrimage
I went on a Hajj pilgrimage in the early 1340s (1960s). At that time, few people from the army, gendarmerie and police went on a pilgrimage to the holy Mashhad and holy shrines in Iraq. It happened very rarely. After all, there were faithful people in the Iranian army who were committed to obeying the Islamic halal and haram rules in any situation, and they used to pray.A section of the memories of a freed Iranian prisoner; Mohsen Bakhshi

Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.
