Check us out online at www.cavaliercountyextra.com Cavalier County Republican Monday, July 13, 2020 – Page 11 PUBLIC NOTICE Notice to Cavalier County Landowners Landowners with property adjacent to COUNTY roads are required to mow the road right-of-way between July 1st and August 1st of each calendar year. Grass must be mowed shoulder level or lower. If this is not done between July 1, 2020 and August 1, 2020, the COUNTY will hire the work done and assess the landowner a rate of $100.00 per ½ mile of road. All landowners must clear all ditches and road right-of-way of all obstructions, such as rocks, trees, hay bales, and machinery. When swathers are used for mowing, the swaths must be removed. By Order of the Cavalier County Commissioners We have just finished the July 4th weekend and I am glad, despite these times, we were able to cel- ebrate with a great parade in Park River and Bathgate as well as gather with family and friends. We must always honor the liberty and free- dom we have and those that serve to protect it every day.! Honor the flag as it represents all America is. I for one did not come here, take an oath to this nation and becom- ing a citizen to just turn around and apologize for it! No way. I kneel to Christ alone . Due to the unprecedented CO- VID situation the Federal govern- ment allocated approximately $1,25 billion directly to the State of North Dakota via the Coronavirus Relief Fund. (This is aside from numer- ous grants and direct payments to persons and private business) These monies are under very spe- cific guidelines as the funding must be directly related to COVID. The ND Emergency Commission under NDCC is tasked with allocating the money, however it must have ap- proval of the legislative budget sec- tion. As of June 25, 2020, the Budget Section of the Legislature has ap- proved funding requests totaling $930.3 million, including $926.4 million from state agencies and $3.9 million from political subdivisions, from the state’s allocation from the Coronavirus Relief Fund. The Budget Section consists of 43 legis- lators from both parties and cham- bers. D10 is represented by Rep- resentative Dave Monson on this committee. All requests pursuant to Chapter 54-16 authorized by the Emergency Commission require Budget Section approval. It can all be accessed online or I can email you the details if you contact me. It is far too long to print in an update. The above process is what is cur- rently in law, but we will take a new look at this particular process next Session as this was a larger amount of monies than ever expected nor dealt with in the past. The reason I mention this is that there have been questions as to why we do not go into a Special Session for this and several other things we must tackle next session. Constitutionally the legislature has 3 days remaining of session we could use, however it would be far short of the time we would need to gather, hear testi- mony, employ staff, amend, vote in both chambers and make sure all is done while adhering to health pro- tocols. Thus we have the above pro- cess in place for such times. The last thing we need is kneejerk reactions and band aid legislation. Any time there is this amount of monies at the trough though, it naturally becomes an extraordinary challenge to allo- cate to everyone’s satisfaction. But having 43 Legislators on Budget Section gives a broad representa- tion. In the future however, there needs to be some safeguards put in for this process, hence we will revis- it the emergency commission status next session after these extraordi- nary times we have faced and may face in the future. The economy is rebounding across the nation at a rapid rate, yet we must face the fact that the ener- gy industry is slower to rebound. I have faith we will continue to see a slow yet steady rise out west, but at the time I write this we have been pragmatically studying the budget for the next biennium for a couple of months already. Gathering the in- formation and looking at trends in both AG and Energy Sectors as well as looking at the critical needs we must fill. Of course the early pre- COVID talks about Legacy Fund Spending are all but nullified for now due to the effect of the virus and oil drop, but talks are ongoing as to how to wisely cut spending while meeting critical needs and this may include Legacy Fund earn- ings to some small degree. The Leg- acy Fund was expected to receive its lowest-ever monthly deposit last month, just $10.24 million from oil tax revenue. This record low de- posit reflects revenue collected in May based on April oil production figures. The largest monthly deposit was $117.16 million made in August 2014, a time when North Dakota production was surging and oil prices were hovering around $100/ bbl. Since its approval by state vot- ers in 2010, 30 percent of all produc- tion and extraction tax revenue has been deposited in the Legacy Fund. As of April 30, the fund had a bal- ance of $6.6 billion. The financial burdens are real across the board, small businesses, local subdivisions and right now tourism. Commerce is more nu- anced than just simply buying and selling, and issues like the border to Canada remaining closed has a huge effect on our NE Region. I recently was on a phone call with leaders from Manitoba to Grand Forks including our Tri County District and we are pushing to get border back to normal. Some busi- nesses and recreational places have seen a drop of up to 80% the past few months and that is devastating. We are in communication with our federal delegation as US Homeland Security is of course in charge of the US side of this decision. In my last update I mentioned skilled care and elder care lock downs. Since that time we have seen some slow opening up of these facilities to the joy of many. I am committed to taking a serious look at this process next session as way to many elderly were left confused and lonely during these months. Again, I salute the healthcare work- ers for their stressful work and many of them I have spoken with agree we must have conversations for future process now. I am glad to report that our inter- im committees are being scheduled for end of July. Last week of July will be Judiciary and Ag commit- tees both and I look forward to get- ting back to the urgent issues set be- fore both committees. I will report back end of July. One update many will be interested in is a committee I do not serve on but follow closely, - the Natural Resource Committee which has continued work on a pi- lot program for hunting and post- ing. Nothing final yet except po- tential for three counties that have been identified across the state as potential pilot counties. This will all be presented to the 2021 Legis- lative Session so we shall see. One of the most controversial issue the past two Sessions. I look forward to their final report as this committee has not only legislatures on it, but private citizens representing both landowners and hunters. Lastly, but maybe most impor- tantly I want to mention something a friend said to me recently. She said: “the only thing that is certain these days is uncertainty.” Though I fully understand and feel what she said it also saddened me a bit. Yes, certainly these are difficult times, yet I tend to look at all the posi- tive and how much we have to be grateful for. Family, friends, quality of life and the liberty and freedom to enjoy it. We are currently in a season where we all must do what we can to preserve these freedoms, not give in to threats, intimidation and violence. I am distressed to see the tiny minority of rioters and thugs trying to destroy this nation. Blinded to the freedoms that have been bought by so many. Yes, there will always be issues of injustice we must solve,- we live in a fallen world, but it is never solved by ha- tred, threats and division. Never in history. So, like we did this past weekend, lets honor the Flag and what it stands for, all join in one na- tional anthem, honor law and order and most of all thank God Almighty for all our blessings. Legislative Update Senator Janne Myrdal R – District 10 [email protected] 701-331-0946 My friend broke my nose at an after-prom party in high school. It was nothing deliberate, such as fighting over a girl. Rather, we bumped heads while wearing those big round air-filled sumo wrestler suits. Besides hurting a lot, I re- member thinking, “I’ve never been so aware of my nose before.” I was overly cautious of anything that could come close to my nose. I think we sometimes take our noses for granted. Despite being right between our eyes, it’s not our noses, but our heart, lungs, and other organs that get most of our interest. We brush our teeth daily. We get our eyes checked regularly. We adorn our ears and fingers with rings all the time, but the nose is generally ignored. Sure, there are some famous nos- es and some people are more aware of the size of their nose than others, but mostly, outside an occasional bloody or runny nose, we don’t pay it much attention. During annual preventive physi- cal exams, I usually look around for any suspicious spots that could be cancer. One of the most com- mon areas is on the nose. The nose sticks out and is susceptible to get- ting more sunlight and thus can be prone to getting skin cancer. If you notice a new bump on your nose that won’t go away after a month or two, you should get it checked out. Better yet, be proactive and put sun- screen on your nose as well as your ears, cheeks, neck, arms, and legs and anywhere else that will be in the sun. It’s best to keep your nose out of it (the sun, that is) and wear a wide-brimmed hat. Of course, we cannot talk about our noses without expressing ap- preciation for our precious sense of smell. Smell helps our brains taste all those amazing flavors and when food goes bad, we depend on our nose to warn us before we take a bite of something that we want to thumb our nose at. I can’t imagine going through summer without the smell of flow- ers, apple pie, a campfire and fire- works. With Covid-19 around, the smell of peanuts at a crowded base- ball game or cotton candy at the fair will have to wait for now, I guess. If you lose your sense of smell talk to your doctor. It could be from al- lergies or a cold, but it could also be something more serious like the coronavirus. As much as we’d like to see ev- eryone’s nose again, the right thing to do is as plain as the nose on our face. Let’s not get our noses out of joint. Let’s keep our noses to the grindstone, continue to be mindful of social distancing and wear masks that cover our mouths and our nos- es!

Cavalier County Republican Monday, July 13, 2020 – Page 11Public Notice
Notice to Cavalier County LandownersLandowners with property adjacent to COUNTY roads are required to mow the road right-of-way between July 1st
and August 1st of each calendar year. Grass must be mowed shoulder level or lower. If this is not done
between July 1, 2020 and August 1, 2020, the COUNTY will hire the work done and assess the landowner a rate of $100.00 per ½ mile of road. All landowners must clear all ditches and road right-of-way of all obstructions, such as
rocks, trees, hay bales, and machinery. When swathers are used for mowing, the swaths must be removed.
By Order of the Cavalier County Commissioners
We have just finished the July 4th weekend and I am glad, despite these times, we were able to cel-ebrate with a great parade in Park River and Bathgate as well as gather with family and friends. We must always honor the liberty and free-dom we have and those that serve to protect it every day.! Honor the flag as it represents all America is. I for one did not come here, take an oath to this nation and becom-ing a citizen to just turn around and apologize for it! No way. I kneel to Christ alone .
Due to the unprecedented CO-VID situation the Federal govern-ment allocated approximately $1,25 billion directly to the State of North Dakota via the Coronavirus Relief Fund. (This is aside from numer-ous grants and direct payments to persons and private business) These monies are under very spe-cific guidelines as the funding must be directly related to COVID. The ND Emergency Commission under NDCC is tasked with allocating the money, however it must have ap-proval of the legislative budget sec-tion. As of June 25, 2020, the Budget Section of the Legislature has ap-proved funding requests totaling $930.3 million, including $926.4 million from state agencies and $3.9 million from political subdivisions, from the state’s allocation from the Coronavirus Relief Fund. The Budget Section consists of 43 legis-lators from both parties and cham-bers. D10 is represented by Rep-resentative Dave Monson on this committee. All requests pursuant to Chapter 54-16 authorized by the Emergency Commission require Budget Section approval. It can all be accessed online or I can email you the details if you contact me. It is far too long to print in an update. The above process is what is cur-rently in law, but we will take a new look at this particular process next Session as this was a larger amount of monies than ever expected nor dealt with in the past. The reason I mention this is that there have been questions as to why we do not go into a Special Session for this and several other things we must tackle next session. Constitutionally the legislature has 3 days remaining of session we could use, however it would be far short of the time we would need to gather, hear testi-mony, employ staff, amend, vote in both chambers and make sure all is done while adhering to health pro-tocols. Thus we have the above pro-cess in place for such times. The last thing we need is kneejerk reactions and band aid legislation. Any time there is this amount of monies at the trough though, it naturally becomes an extraordinary challenge to allo-cate to everyone’s satisfaction. But
having 43 Legislators on Budget Section gives a broad representa-tion. In the future however, there needs to be some safeguards put in for this process, hence we will revis-it the emergency commission status next session after these extraordi-nary times we have faced and may face in the future.
The economy is rebounding across the nation at a rapid rate, yet we must face the fact that the ener-gy industry is slower to rebound. I have faith we will continue to see a slow yet steady rise out west, but at the time I write this we have been pragmatically studying the budget for the next biennium for a couple of months already. Gathering the in-formation and looking at trends in both AG and Energy Sectors as well as looking at the critical needs we must fill. Of course the early pre-COVID talks about Legacy Fund Spending are all but nullified for now due to the effect of the virus and oil drop, but talks are ongoing as to how to wisely cut spending while meeting critical needs and this may include Legacy Fund earn-ings to some small degree. The Leg-acy Fund was expected to receive its lowest-ever monthly deposit last month, just $10.24 million from oil tax revenue. This record low de-posit reflects revenue collected in May based on April oil production figures. The largest monthly deposit was $117.16 million made in August 2014, a time when North Dakota production was surging and oil prices were hovering around $100/bbl. Since its approval by state vot-ers in 2010, 30 percent of all produc-tion and extraction tax revenue has been deposited in the Legacy Fund. As of April 30, the fund had a bal-ance of $6.6 billion.
The financial burdens are real across the board, small businesses, local subdivisions and right now tourism. Commerce is more nu-anced than just simply buying and selling, and issues like the border to Canada remaining closed has a huge effect on our NE Region. I recently was on a phone call with leaders from Manitoba to Grand Forks including our Tri County District and we are pushing to get border back to normal. Some busi-nesses and recreational places have seen a drop of up to 80% the past few months and that is devastating. We are in communication with our federal delegation as US Homeland Security is of course in charge of the US side of this decision.
In my last update I mentioned skilled care and elder care lock downs. Since that time we have seen some slow opening up of these facilities to the joy of many. I am committed to taking a serious look at this process next session as way to many elderly were left confused and lonely during these months. Again, I salute the healthcare work-ers for their stressful work and many of them I have spoken with agree we must have conversations for future process now.
I am glad to report that our inter-im committees are being scheduled for end of July. Last week of July will be Judiciary and Ag commit-tees both and I look forward to get-ting back to the urgent issues set be-
fore both committees. I will report back end of July. One update many will be interested in is a committee I do not serve on but follow closely, - the Natural Resource Committee which has continued work on a pi-lot program for hunting and post-ing. Nothing final yet except po-tential for three counties that have been identified across the state as potential pilot counties. This will all be presented to the 2021 Legis-lative Session so we shall see. One of the most controversial issue the past two Sessions. I look forward to their final report as this committee has not only legislatures on it, but private citizens representing both landowners and hunters.
Lastly, but maybe most impor-tantly I want to mention something a friend said to me recently. She said: “the only thing that is certain these days is uncertainty.” Though I fully understand and feel what she said it also saddened me a bit. Yes, certainly these are difficult times, yet I tend to look at all the posi-tive and how much we have to be grateful for. Family, friends, quality of life and the liberty and freedom to enjoy it. We are currently in a season where we all must do what we can to preserve these freedoms, not give in to threats, intimidation and violence. I am distressed to see the tiny minority of rioters and thugs trying to destroy this nation. Blinded to the freedoms that have been bought by so many. Yes, there will always be issues of injustice we must solve,- we live in a fallen world, but it is never solved by ha-tred, threats and division. Never in history. So, like we did this past weekend, lets honor the Flag and what it stands for, all join in one na-tional anthem, honor law and order and most of all thank God Almighty for all our blessings.
