Staff Sgt. Adam Gehlhar, of the North Dakota National Guard’s 817th Engineer (Sapper) Company, walks along a levee protecting Valley City from the rapidly rising Sheyenne River April 16. He was leading Soldiers from sandbagging at one area of a sandbag dike to another along the Sheyenne River near Main Avenue. Additional Soldiers from the North Dakota National Guard arrived in Valley City to help with sandbag operations. The city is raising its levees to 24 feet to protect it from the rising Sheyenne River. Valley City expects the river to reach a record crest of 21.2 to 21.5 feet by Tuesday, exceeding the previous record of 20.69 feet set in 2009. (Army photo/Capt. Penny Ripperger)
