The North Dakota Dental As-sociation and the North Dakota Dental Foundation, in partner-ship with the Minnesota Dental Association and the Minnesota Dental Foundation, are bringing the Minnesota Mission of Mercy to the Fargo-Moorhead area Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23. Mission of Mercy pro-vides free dental care to children and adults who face barriers to accessing dental care. Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation is the signature sponsor of the event.

The floor of the Concordia Col-lege Memorial Auditorium will be transformed into a 100-chair clinic to treat as many as 2,000 patients from a wide geographic area. Free care being provided includes cleanings, fillings, ex-tractions, limited treatment for partial dental appliances, and some root canals in front teeth. There is no advance sign up and patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis each day. The doors open at 5:30 a.m. and early arrival is en-couraged.

The free care is being pro-vided by more than 1,000 vol-unteers, including dentists from North Dakota and Minnesota, as well as hygienists, dental assistants, translators and lay

volunteers. This is the fifth year a Mission of Mercy event is be-ing held in Minnesota, with free care provided valued at over $4 million since 2012. This year is the first time North Dakotans are eligible to participate in the event.

“Dentists are committed to ensuring that all Minnesotans have access to dental care,” said Dr. Peter Cannon, a prac-ticing dentist and President of the Minnesota Dental Associa-tion. “It is humbling to see such a great collaboration among lay and professional volunteers, but also unfortunate that there are still thousands of people, who, for a wide variety of reasons, cannot get the dental care they need.”

Volunteer dentists are pre-pared to provide care to 2,000 patients. Dental services not provided are implants, crowns and root canals on molars, full dentures and removal of unex-posed wisdom teeth.

Adults and children of all ages who are in reasonably good health qualify and will be wel-come until treatment capacity is reached each day. Children

under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. There will be no photo identification, social security number or any other personal documentation required. Anonymous demo-graphic data collected is for evaluating the effectiveness of the event and future donor so-licitation only.

Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation has provided over $750,000 for the Mission of Mercy in the past five years, in-cluding $150,000 again as this year’s signature sponsor. Major financial and in-kind support is critical to the success of Mission of Mercy. Generous donors will provide approximately $267,000 in cash and in-kind donations. To date more than 30 organiza-tions and individuals have made tax-deductible cash donations to cover the necessary dental equipment, supplies and food costs for this major event.

North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) announced that mem-bers are now eligible to re-ceive a 10 percent discount off most retail health aid products at Thrifty White pharmacies across the state.

“We’re excited to be partner-ing with this well-known region-al chain to offer discounts to our members,” said Mark Watne, NDFU president. “Thrifty White is an employee-owned com-pany that has provided reliable service to rural America for generations.”

With 30 stores in North Da-kota, the company has recently been designated a “specialty pharmacy” to provide extra support to local patients re-ceiving specialty medications for cancer, Crohn’s Disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and many

other illnesses.Specialty medications cur-

rently make up 35 percent of total pharmacy spending, said Tim Erdle, executive vice presi-dent of store operations. That number is projected to grow to 50 percent by 2020.

“Our focus is on patients and positive health outcomes,” said Erdle. “The management ser-vices we provide ensures that patients start therapy quicker, stay on therapy successfully, and receive the most benefit from their medication, which can be expensive.”

He noted that Thrifty White has access to a variety of man-ufacturer and foundation assis-tance programs to make sure cost is not a barrier to patients receiving life-saving medica-tions.

NDFU members are also eli-gible for a 10 percent discount off health aids when they shop online at theonlinedrugstore.com. To receive the discount in store or online, members

need to present their member-ship card at checkout or enter it online. The discount does not apply to diabetic test strips or prescription medication.

Watering by Martha MacLeod

the Flowers Last week I

had Snickers out on his leash. We walked up and down the block while waiting for a

friend to pick us up. It was very exciting because we were go-ing to the greenhouse to shop for plants. When my friend drove up, I was talking to her through the car window on my left side and Snickers was on the right. He was intent on sniff-ing and smelling a special spot on the boulevard. I tugged a lit-tle on the leash, thinking Snick-ers would come. No, his mind was drawn to an intoxicating scent in the grass. He tugged and pulled back until his col-lar slipped over his head. As soon as he realized he was on his own he galloped full speed ahead down the sidewalk. He was focused on the big wide world in front of him. In other words, he was on the loose and running away.

I remember Dad telling me many years ago, “If you’re go-ing to have a dog, you have to be smarter than the dog.” Now was my chance to prove to Dad that I could outsmart my dog. I asked my friend to drive up the block to the spot where Snickers was busy sniffing for messages from neighborhood canines. I told her to open the passenger door, get his atten-tion and when he saw the open car door he would run over and hop right in. That’s exactly what

happened. At that moment I felt that I was “smart.”

We drove to the greenhouse, where I asked one of the em-ployees if Snickers could come in. She said it was OK, since they already had a cat that wan-dered in and out. She advised me to be careful that he didn’t drink from the floor because the water might have fertilizer in it.

I held Snickers and we walked around enjoying the plants. My friend loaded up her cart with geraniums, impatience, pack-ets of colorful petunias, plants for the shade and plants for full sun. It was a glorious time.

Once we got home, it was time to plant. Snickers, the friendly toy poodle, was eager to take part in this activity. I had some small four inch pots on the ground beside me and Snickers kept sticking his nose in the lit-tle marigolds. He seemed to enjoy knocking over the plants and playing with them. Several times, I put the plants upright and shooed him away. I could see that he was miffed. He ran around the yard but kept com-ing back to help with planting. Since I wasn’t feeling play-ful and wanted to make a little progress, I said, “No”, in a loud voice and waved him away. He ran off and the next thing I knew he came back, lifted his leg and watered the little pots. “Snick-ers!” I moaned and looked into his innocent little face. “I was only trying to be helpful,” he said.

Girl Scouts-Dakota Horizons Congratulates Gold Award Girl Scout Taylor Roney

Girl Scouts-Dakota Horizons congratulates Taylor Roney of Oakes, ND for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award to be achieved in Girl Scouts.

Taylor earned her Gold Award with Oakes City Sign project. She identified that small towns across the state are diminish-ing and decided to take action to attract residents and tourists to her town. The “Oakes Wel-comes You” sign was placed on the north side of town to create an atmosphere of friendliness to visitors and pride for commu-nity members.

The project spanned nineteen months and over 100 hours of planning and labor. Her accom-plishments reflect leadership

and citizenship skills, founda-tional skills built through Girl Scouts. Taylor stated, “With it being such a big project and doing it by myself, I had to as-sume a lot responsibility in or-der to get things done and make sure everything was accounted for and done properly,” Taylor stated. “At the sign dedication September 28, I received many compliments about how great it is to have this addition to our community.”

Taylor is also a recipient of the Girl Scout Bronze and Sil-ver Awards and a Girl Scout Graduating Senior Scholar-ship. By earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, she has become a community leader and joins an elite group of Girl Scouts; as the Gold Award is awarded to fewer than 6% of Girl Scouts annually.

Since 1916, Girl Scouts have been making meaningful, sus-tainable change in their com-munities and around the world. The Girl Scout Gold Award ac-knowledges the power behind each Gold Award Girl Scout’s dedication to not only empow-ering and bettering herself, but also to making the world a bet-

ter place for others through re-markable Take Action projects that have sustainable impact in their communities and beyond. Fourteen Dakota Horizons Girl Scouts are receiving the Gold Award this year.

“Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award is truly a remarkable achievement, and these young women exemplify leadership in all its forms,” said Marla Meyer, CEO “They saw a need in their communities and took action. Their extraordinary dedication, perseverance, and leadership is making the world a better place, and we’re honored to present Taylor this award.”

Some universities and col-leges offer scholarships unique to Gold Award Girl Scouts, and girls who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive ad-vanced rank in recognition of their achievements.

When compared to non-Girl Scout Alums, Gold Award Girl Scouts soar when it comes to seeing themselves as lead-ers, providing service to oth-ers through volunteerism, and having positive attitudes about themselves and the lives they lead. More generally, over 90

percent of Girl Scouts not only attributed their success in life to Girl Scouts, but they also said they could not have had access to the same experiences any-where else.

Taylor will receive her award at the council’s Honoring Excel-lence recognition event to be held June 22, 2019 in Fargo, ND.

Girl Scouts—Dakota Hori-zons is a non-profit organiza-tion that serves nearly 13,000 members in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, In-novator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. We are committed to building girls of courage, confidence and char-acter who make the world a better place. For more informa-tion visit http://www.gsdakota-horizons.org/ or call 1-800-666-2141.

Since 1916, Girl Scouts have been making meaningful, sus-tainable change in their com-munities and around the world.

These young women are courageous leaders and vision-ary change makers. They are our future, and it looks bright!
