25 Years Ago â 1996
The Mandan Art Association held its 38th Annual Art Show this week at the Mandan Community Center. This yearâs honorees were Caroline Conrath, a charter member of the association, and her brother, the late Ted Conrath. The show also displayed more than 400 pieces of artwork, representing 92 adult exhibitors and 73 high school students. Painting demonstrators were Stephanie Delmore, Susan Lundberg and Amy Stuart McNalley. According to Colette Meidinger, MAA president, special thanks go to Mandanâs Boy Scout Troop 54 for delivering, setting up, tearing down and returning to storage, the display boards used for exhibiting the art pieces.
In addition to confronting the menace within, Garland could be faced with increasingly difficult questions rising from the Capitol inquiry, including whether to pursue the former president on charges of inciting an insurrection. Trump awaits a Senate trial after his impeachment in the House, accused of provoking the attack.
Not since Watergate, analysts said, has an incoming attorney general taken on such a dual burden of reclaiming Justice’s independence from the White House while resetting the department’s law enforcement mission.
Since Garland’s nomination, Democrats – and some Republicans – have expressed rare agreement that the judge may be uniquely suited for the job and the uncertain times.
