Floral Depot to open May 3rdBy Lavonne Haugen

For the Record-Herald

Whether she is ready or not, Barb Nelsen has chosen May 3 as her opening date

at the new Floral Depot, located in the former Cando Bakery building on Main Street in Cando.

Barb and her husband Duane are returning to the area after leaving in 2003 following 30 years of farming in the Egeland area. With aging machin-ery and more sloughs than farmland to plant each spring, the couple decid-ed to pull up their roots and relocate to property they owned in southwest-ern South Dakota.

Barb, who is not one to sit idle for long, worked in a fl oral shop in South Dakota, but found herself with many ideas to make the place run better. Her husband, who also seems happier when he is working on a project, suggested she open her own fl oral shop. Following a brief search, the couple decided on Edge-mont, SD, as the location for the new shop. Edgemont, with a popu-lation of 600 residents, had not had a fl ower show in town for many years. With a hospital, mortuary and nursing home, the couple found their niche and fl ourished.

Fast forward several years. The couple, with deep family ties in north central North Dakota, started wondering if it was maybe time to return home. Both have elderly par-ents in the area and Duane, who re-turned each spring for planting and

each fall for harvest, made note of the fact that there was no longer a fl ower shop in town for the residents of Cando and the surrounding area.

The couple visited Cando and made note of a possible build-ing for a new shop. They decided to put their shop in Edgemont on the market and see what happened. The shop sold in days and the cou-ple was on their way to their next adventure. They quickly packed up the shop in Edgemont, hoping to make the transition to the Can-do area a fast one. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans and every trip north was derailed by

snowstorms or ice.The Nelsen’s purchased the bakery

building and went to work along with family members who were willing to lend a hand. They were hoping for a minor remodel, but the job became much bigger as they dug deeper. The Nelsen’s fi nally ended up gutting the entire front of the building, putting up new walls and ceiling as well as laying new fl ooring throughout the building. The front of the building is for display purposes and the back of the building will be storage, offi ce space, and work space.

Barb Nelsen is the fi rst to admit she doesn’t feel quite ready to open her doors. She has yet to fi nd many rolls of ribbon she knows are hiding from her, but the constant stream of phone calls tells her that she will be busy

once the doors open. With half the fl oor space that she used to occupy, Barb is limiting what she keeps for dis-play at this time. She will have fresh cut fl owers, green plants, silk fl owers, balloons, 99 cent cards, candles and various unique planters for sale. With the prom season already nearing its end in the area, she looks to add tux rentals to her store next spring. Once she gets a feel for the community and what they would like to see, she will add to her inventory to meet the needs of the community.

At this time, Barb will be the lone employee at her store. She will call on Duane’s help during busy delivery sea-sons, and has someone to help with ar-rangements should the need arise. The couple is making their home in Cando at this time.

Dalrymple Signs Bill To Strengthen Law Against Drunk Driving

Bill Strengthens Penalties, Enhances Education and Court Monitoring to Reduce Recidivism

BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Jack Dal-rymple today signed House Bill 1302 to strengthen North

Dakota law against drunk driving and enhance traffi c safety across the state. Attorney General Wayne Stene-hjem, other law enforcement offi -cers, legislators and family members who have lost loved ones to drunk drivers attended the bill signing in support of the new law’s passage.

“This legislation carries a clear message that driving under the infl u-ence of alcohol or drugs is a very se-rious offense and will not be toler-ated,” Dalrymple said. “The new law includes tougher penalties and many offenders will be required to partici-pate in an intensive program to mon-itor and enforce sobriety.

“This new law is enforceable, it is a stronger deterrent and it will help save lives,” Dalrymple said.

Supporters of the tougher DUI legislation gathered around Dal-rymple in the Capitol’s Memorial Hall to watch the governor sign the bill into law. Joining Dalrymple for the bill signing were Tom and Ar-lene Deutscher and Lynn and Don-na Mickelson, the parents of Aaron and Allison Deutscher and the grand-parents of Brielle Deutscher who were killed by a drunken driver July 6, 2012. Juan Ruiz and Sandy Hernan-dez who lost their two young boys, Cyris and Alaries, to a drunk driver on July 8, 2012, also attended the bill signing. Others who attended includ-ed the bill’s prime sponsor, Rep. Kim

Koppelman, other legislators, North Dakota Highway Patrol Superinten-dent Col. James Prochniak, and state Department of Transportation Inter-im Director Grant Levi.

“No longer will drunk drivers be able to refuse to submit to an alco-hol test, as nearly one in fi ve do, and thereby deprive the courts of cru-cial proof of DUI,” Attorney Gener-al Wayne Stenehjem said. “If there is probable cause to believe a person is driving under the infl uence and they try to hide behind a refusal to sub-mit to a test, they will be subject to the same punishment as if they were convicted of the DUI.”

North Dakota’s strengthened DUI law will take effect Aug. 1.

“We’ve sent a powerful message,

supported by so many,” Koppleman said. “This marks the culmination of a long, collaborative effort involving law enforcement offi cials, prosecu-tors, defense attorneys, the Governor, the Attorney General, corrections of-fi cials and the families of victims of drunk driving.”

Key provisions of the new law in-clude:

· A new charge of aggravated Driv-ing Under the Infl uence (DUI) for fi rst-time offenders whose blood-al-cohol content (BAC) is higher than 0.16.

· Mandatory enrollment in the 24/7 Sobriety Program for anyone convict-ed of two or more DUI offenses. The program requires offenders submit to mandatory breath tests or the use

of remote alcohol monitors.· Signifi cant increases in mandato-

ry jail sentences for repeat offenders. First-time offenders with BAC higher than 0.16 must serve at least two days in jail or perform 10 hours of commu-nity service per day of jail time sen-tenced. First-time offenders currently do not face any mandatory sentence of jail or community service.

· Creating a Class A felony offense for a driver, while in violation of the DUI law, to cause the death of an-other person. The charge of crimi-nal vehicular homicide carries a man-datory three-year prison sentence and a mandatory 10-year prison sen-tence if the offender was previous-ly convicted of DUI or reckless driv-ing. The maximum prison sentence

is 20 years. Currently, the offense may be charged as a Class B felony offense under the state’s manslaugh-ter statute or a Class C felony under the state’s negligent homicide stat-ute, both of which carry shorter max-imum sentences.

· Creating a Class C felony offense for a driver who, while in violation of the DUI law, causes serious injures another person. The charge of crim-inal vehicular injury carries a manda-tory prison sentence of one year and a mandatory two-year sentence if the offender was previously convicted of DUI or reckless driving.

· Providing $360,000 to support statewide education outreach regard-ing the dangers involved in drinking and driving.

Towner County Medical Center seeks input from area residents about community’s health needsCando – In an effort to gauge

the overall health needs of the community, Towner Coun-

ty Medical Center (TCMC) will survey area residents for several weeks begin-ning in late April. Results of the sur-vey will provide guidance to TCMC on better ways to address health care needs. The survey is part of a commu-nity health needs assessment initiat-ed by TCMC. TCMC is receiving assis-tance in conducting the assessment from the Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

TCMC strongly encourages all area residents to participate in the survey. Residents may access an interactive, online version of the survey at www.tinyurl.com/tcmc-survey . All survey responses are anonymous, and there is no way to track responses back

to individuals. Individual survey re-sponses are accessible only to the Center for Rural Health to help en-sure anonymity. Overall results will be reported in aggregate form and anonymously.

The survey will allow local provid-ers to learn of the community’s aware-ness of local health care services being provided, hear suggestions and help identify any gaps in services, learn about community health and other concerns, and determine preferenc-es for using local health care versus traveling to other facilities. In addi-tion to specifi c questions, the survey also seeks general, open-ended input from residents about the communi-ty’s health needs and the delivery of local health care. Completing the sur-vey takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The survey will be open until May 24.

“The feedback from this survey will help hospital leadership and our board of directors, understand what services are important to the commu-nity and where TCMC should focus our efforts in the future.” Ivan Mitch-ell, CEO of TCMC.

A periodic community needs assess-ment is one of the new requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The new regulations require non-profi t hos-pitals such as Towner County Medi-cal Center to assess the community’s health needs periodically. The cost of the survey is covered by the Medi-care Rural Hospital Flexibility (Flex) Grant Program, a project of the Center for Rural Health. The Flex Program is a state-based partnership that works with and assists all rural hospitals to stabilize and sustain their local health care infrastructure.

Bearcat Track Team Finds Dry Meet

By Lavonne Haugen

For the Record-Herald

The North Star track team was fi nally able to fi nd a meet that allowed their ath-

letes to compete instead of condi-tioning, many days in the school hallways. The Bearcats traveled to

Hazen with eight athletes on Sat-urday, April 27. Due to the lack of meets for all North Dakota teams, 34 teams were competing which presented stiff competition for the Bearcats.

Peyton Halverson was the lone point scorer for North Star, placing 5th in the 800m run with a time of 2:37.39.

Head coach, Megan Tompkins was pleased with the performance of her team in this fi rst meet of the season stating, “Considering our training fa-cilities and the unforgiving weather we’ve dealt with for practicing, our athletes performed very well. Many of the events we competed in had 50 or more competitors. I was proud of all of them.”

NEW BOOKS AT CANDO

COMMUNITY LIBRARY

By Shiela Rabe

Spring has at last made its presence known in our part of North Dakota, and with

the warmer weather comes the threat of the dreaded mosquitoes and ticks with insect-borne diseases like Lyme, West Nile, heartworm and others. And let’s not forget rabies, which is endemic in varmints such as skunks. Pets are at risk of picking up parasites and viral infections so please protect your outdoor animals by insuring their vaccinations are up to date and applying topical anti-par-asite medication.

Current critters waiting for per-manent homes include these young adult cats, Bonnie, a gray tabby short hair, Beauty and Simon, long-haired tabbies and Honey, a white and gray tabby short-hair. There are also two small kittens which are smoky gray and fl uffy black.

On the canine front, there are 2 young Dachshund cross dogs need-ing furever homes. Anyone interest-ed in adopting one or more of these sweet pets may call Lindsey at 968-3431 for more information.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Uffda Fund Open House on Tues-day, 7:00PM, May 14th at the Mason-

ic Center. The guest speaker is Kar-en Seginak, who will talk about her recent trip to Africa, sharing stories and pictures of the people and ani-mals she encountered. Refreshments will be served and there will also be a showcase of the Uffda animals we have cared for in the past year. Dona-tions of pet-related item are appreci-ated: collars, leashes, feeding bowls, blankets, grooming tools, toys, any-thing except pet food. A donation

to Uffda will mean a chance to en-ter the prize draw for a hand-made quilt. Come out and meet some of the Uffda Critters, past and present.

Work has begun on an Uffda Fund website. This entails hours of volunteer time to produce a profes-sional, attractive and user-friend-ly site which will showcase current pets, past history, future goals and ways to be in touch.

April Gas Report: Lowest Springtime Gas Prices in Three Years

The average price for a gallon for regular unleaded gas in North Da-kota is currently $3.57, down 10 cents in the past month and 21 cents lower then one year ago. North Dakota metro averages are: Bismarck, $3,65; Fargo, 3.42; and Grand Forks, $3.46.

Gas prices nationally averaged $3.55 per gallon in April, the least expensive average for the month since 2010. Gas prices dropped about 13 cents per gallon in April (3.5 percent), which was the largest percentage decline for the month in ten years. In comparison, gas prices in 2012 averaged $3.89 for the month, while the average price in April 2011 was $3.79 per gallon. Gas prices have declined this spring because of lower oil costs, ample refi nery production and continued weak demand, accord-ing to Gene LaDoucer, AAA North Dakota spokesman. “Gas pric-es have fallen faster and earli-er than ever before for this time of year, providing motorists with timely savings in fuel costs.” The national average price of gas for April 30, 2013, is $3.51 per gallon, which is the fourth highest on re-cord for this day. The national av-erage a year ago was $3.82 per gal-lon, while the average on this day in 2011 was $3.93 per gallon and in 2008 it was $3.62 per gallon. AAA has no record of gas prices previously peaking in February, yet the highest average of the year so far is $3.79 per gallon on Feb. 27. Since that time, the average price nationally has dropped 50 out of 62 days for a total of 28 cents per gallon. The peak price in 2012 was $3.94 per gallon on April 5 and 6, while the peak in 2011 was $3.98 on May 5.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices dropped below $87 per bar-rel in mid-April, which was the lowest closing price since Decem-

ber. The price of WTI began the month at more than $97 per barrel and closed April 29 at $94.50 per barrel. Oil and commodity pric-es dropped earlier in the month as a result of expectations of yet an-other “spring swoon” for the econ-omy.

Half of U.S. adults consider gas prices to be “too high” when it reaches $3.44 per gallon, accord-ing to a new consumer index de-veloped by AAA. Forty-six percent of adults believe gas is too high when it reaches $3.00 per gallon; 61 percent believe it is too high when it reaches $3.50 per gallon; and 90 percent believe gas is too high when it reaches $4.00 per gallon. Sixty-two percent of Amer-icans are offsetting high gas pric-es by changing their driving hab-its or lifestyle. Over the next few weeks average prices nationally could remain fl at or even rise slightly as some main-tenance and production issues continue. Prices in the Great Lakes region, in particular, could rise as a result of both scheduled and un-scheduled refi nery maintenance. Gas stations in many parts of the country also must begin selling more expensive summer-blend gasoline by June 1 in order to meet federal air quality standards.

Gas prices could drop to $3.20 to $3.40 per gallon by mid-summer if current trends continue in regards to oil prices, motorist demand and refi nery production. Gas prices in recent years have declined in ear-ly summer after reaching a spring-time peak as refi neries ramp up gasoline production in anticipa-tion of the summer driving season.AAA updates fuel price averages

Growers Reminded of Later Final Planting Dates for Canola

Given the late start to planting in 2013, growers are reminded that the Final Planting Dates

(FPD’s) for canola were changed last year at the request of the Northern Canola Growers Association. 

The NCGA conducted date of plant-

ing studies for canola for the last three years and submitted this data to crop insurance offi cials to establish a later Final Planting Date (FPD) for canola in all regions of North Dakota.  As a re-sult of the studies and the data provid-ed, RMA added fi ve days to the cano-

la Final Planting Date in North Dakota and Minnesota.  In addition, Benson, Pierce and Burke Counties were add-ed to a different region in the state, re-sulting in a 15-day change to the Final Planting Date for those three counties.

Data gathered from studies funded

by the canola growers was particular-ly compelling for northeast North Da-kota, where yields for canola held up into mid-June plantings.  See the at-tached chart for the Final Planting Dates for canola for your region.  Animal Humane

Bismarck, N.D.– SB

2211, the animal humane

treatment bill for North

Dakota, passed in

the 63rd Legislative

Assembly today and is

headed to the Governor’s

office for his signature.

According to North Dako-ta Farmers Union (NDFU) President Woody Barth,

“We are very pleased that SB 2211 was approved. North Dakota Farm-ers Union has been a key player in getting this bill passed. Our organi-zation worked with the coalition to make sure well written legisla-tion would go after the bad actors who intentionally harm animals while making sure to protect agri-culture.”

NDFU worked from the begin-ning as part of the North Dakotans for Responsible Animal Care co-

alition to protect animals and the good stewards who care for them. It also sought to clarify the process-es and roles of folks who address animal mistreatment.

“We are pleased that the legisla-ture has passed a bill that does just that,” added NDFU General Coun-sel and Director of Government Relations Kristi Schlosser Carlson, “We appreciate the legislature’s work and passage of SB 2211. NDFU continues to believe the legislative process was the appropriate path to allow for discussion and im-provement of the current animal humane treatment statute, and we thank the legislature for foster-ing that discussion. NDFU stood hand in hand with partners from the very beginning through today’s passage of the bill.”

During a special press confer-ence this morning, Senator Tim Flakoll, the bill’s prime sponsor, Commissioner Doug Goehring and Representative Rust commended North Dakotans for Responsible Animal Care and their effort, as an example of how using a compre-hensive, balanced approach could deliver good legislation.

Towner County Living News

Thanks to Pastor Bonnie Weav-er for leading Women’s Circle and Communion service this

past week.On April 30th the Living Center had

a guest speaker. Tom Gibson was spon-sored by the North Dakota Soil Con-servation District. Tom also visited the Northstar School in the afternoon. Tom portrayed the character of Pete Bogg, with his “Amazing Water Machine”. “Pete” discussed different uses for wa-ter. We use it for drinking, swimming, fishing, farming, putting out fires, wash-

ing….the list goes on. Where does this water come from? Pete showed a glass of clean water. Water is in the rivers and passes by homesteads, farms, into the city, etc. Along the way it picks up various pollutants, whether it’s maneuver from a cattle farms, oil that gets put down the sewer drain, etc. This all eventually goes into the river. Along each route this wa-ter took, Pete added a different food col-oring to the clean glass of water. By the time this water “got back to the river” the water was very dirty looking – not good enough to drink. This water was put into

the “Amazing Water Machine”. Here the water is boiled, turns into steam, condenses, and comes out into a glass as “clean water.” This machine acts as a water distiller. This process represents the sun shining on the lake. It gives the water energy, evaporates, travels around the world and comes down as “clean” rain. The sun acts as a natural distiller. However, the rain goes back into the dirty water where wildlife and humans swim and drink this water. We all have to do our part to keep the water clean. Don’t waste water and don’t dirty the water. A big thanks to the North Dakota Soil Conservation District for hosting Tom Gibson, of Bottineau. And thanks to Tom. We enjoyed your presentation.

Towner County Living Center start-ed a Tai Chi program.   This program has become part of our Falls Reduction Program. Through this technique, the body is in constant motion with gen-tle physical exercise and stretches, in a slow graceful manner, set to relaxing nature music. The resident can sit or stand. There are many benefi ts of Tai Chi: reduce high blood pressure, stress relief, a healthier heart, tone and in-

crease muscle strength, bone strength for Osteoporosis, improve posture, im-prove breathing problems, strengthen the immunity system, improve coordi-nation and balance (reducing the rate of falls), effective in preventing and man-

aging diabetes, managing symptoms of Parkinson’s,  prevention of strokes and post stroke patients through cardiovas-cular improvements. Our main goal is to improve balance and increase trunk strength, along with increasing oxygen

fl ow through the deep breathing.  Sta-tistics show that half of women who reach the age of 90 will have suffered a hip fracture from a fall. A person over the age of 90, that has a fall resulting in a hip fracture, has a mortality rate of 30% in 6 months. We are hoping to see residents having an easier time with activities like walking, bending, eating and dressing. This group of resi-dents will meet 3x’s a week. We are ex-cited to see the program take shape. So far it has been a fun relaxing way to ex-ercise with staff and guests watching through the door and wishing they could join us.

PRAIRIE VIEW ESTATES

By DIANE LEAS

JANICE FORD AND SALLY LAR-SON, offi ce personnel from American Bank in Cando, pre-

sented a program on how to avoid fi -nancial exploitation, identity theft, and how to detect and avoid scams. 

Scammers may be very devious and turn on the charm in hopes of gain-ing your trust.  This could be  not only strangers but family members.  They advised us to never fi ll out and sign checks ahead of time and to never sign

a document you don’t understand.  If you have questions or concerns con-tact your bank for advice.  Power of At-torney is advised and using a personal check or credit card is safer because it leaves a “paper trail”.  Use direct depos-it when possible and never lend mon-ey on an IOU.

Telemarketers have become noto-rious scammers.  Never give any pri-vate information such as Social Secu-rity numbers or fi nancial information

over the phone.  Janice and Sally em-phasized that banks never call to ask for personal information. 

They warned that if you receive a check in the mail from an unknown source and are asked to return a por-tion of the amount (known as money laundering) to discard that check im-mediately and contact law enforce-ment .

Janice and Sally also gave us perti-nent information on how to get off mailing lists, how long to keep person-al papers, credit card statements, etc. 

Again if you have any questions to call or stop in at the bank for assistance. 

Sally and Janice joined us for the monthly birthday party honoring Lou-ise Hartl and Dorothy Rader.  They treated us with candy coated pretzels.  Thank you to the TCMC dietary depart-ment for the wonderful dessert. 

IVAN MITCHELL, TCMC CEO, walked over to meet us.  He told us that he was born in California but came here from Pine Bluff, Arkansas.  His goal at TCMC is to make caring for patients as effi cient as possible.  They

are in the process of moving the Phys-ical Therapy department, looking for a more convenient way to perform CT scans, and would like to make kidney dialysis more convenient for patients.  Another doctor or PA would be help-ful, as well.

Mr. Mitchell and his wife have 5 children, who are all looking forward to living in a rural community and the many op-portuni-ties it offers.  Welcome to

Cando!CANDO LUTHERAN WORSHIP

WEDNESDAY CHILDREN and their teachers arrived via school bus to sing for us.  There was a lot of activi-ty with 39 children singing, clapping, and jumping as they performed action songs.  They sang several songs and closed with “Jesus Loves Me”.

NORTH STAR 1ST GRADERS AND THEIR TEACHER MRS. ELSPERGER didn’t have to climb over snowbanks to get here this time!  They are learn-ing about plant life and have planted bean seeds in school.  They performed a skit “Waking Up” showing the pro-cess by which seeds grow.  They also had a humorous story about folks who live in Backward Time and sleep under the bed!  They broke into small groups and read to the Prairie View folks before walking back to school.

NORTH STAR 1ST GRADERS AND THEIR TEACHER MRS. KOMROSKY came the following week and read to us.  Each of the Prairie View folks en-joyed listening to 2 students read.

THANK YOU to the ladies of Cando Christian Fellowship Church for deliv-ering treats and stopping by to visit.  Thanks also to Pastor Bonnie and Pas-tor Craig for their welcome visits and conversation.

Worship Wednesday singers from Lutheran Church. TCMC CEO Ivan Mitchell visited at Prairie View.

Janice and Sally shown with Dorothy and Louise.

Area golf teams still have to wait to get on the Cando Golf Club’s links. Sever-al holes are unplayable due to water on the course and snow that has yet to melt. Pumps are running non-stop to clear the spring run-off, but with large snow banks still melting and more snow in the area that has yet to melt and run through, it will take some warm, dry days to get area golfers back on the course. Despite being unable to golf, the staff has the clubhouse ready to go and will start the season with a Brat/Burg-er Feed on Saturday, May 4 beginning at 6 p.m. Stag and Ladies Night meals and socials will also begin Wednesday, May 8 and Thursday, May 9. The driv-ing range is also open for golfers to be-gin working on their swing!

USDA to Increase Home Loan Limit to Reflect Increasing

Home Values in North Dakota

Heitkamp committed to addressing the state’s housing crisis

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will increase its limit for home loans in every North Dakota county from $179,000 to $240,000. Heitkamp, a member of the Senate committee that oversees housing policy, is working tirelessly to find solutions to North Dakota’s housing crisis.

“Our state has serious housing issues and we need concrete steps like

this to address them,” said Heitkamp. “When I traveled around North Da-kota to listen to housing concerns, fi -nancing diffi culties were continually discussed. I applaud USDA for mak-ing this change, and look forward to continuing my work with local, state and federal offi cials to address hous-ing challenges in our state.”

“The announcement today re-fl ects the realities of North Dakota’s booming economy and the high val-

uations of homes,” said USDA Rural Development State Director Jasper Schneider. “Senator Heitkamp’s re-cent housing meetings underscored the need for more solutions and fl exibility in federal fi nancing pro-grams.”

Last month, Heitkamp held a se-ries of discussions around North Dakota focused on fi nding solu-tions to the state’s housing crisis. Heitkamp listened to housing offi -cials in Dickinson, Bismarck, Minot, Grand Forks, Williston, Valley City, and Fargo.

Heitkamp is a member of the Sen-ate Banking, Housing and Urban Af-fairs Committee, which has jurisdic-tion over housing issues. She is also the Chairwoman of the Senate Agri-culture Subcommittee on Jobs, Rural Economic Growth and Energy Inno-vation, which has jurisdiction over USDA Rural Development. Heitkamp is using her committee positions to advocate for the unique housing needs in rural areas like North Da-kota.

DALRYMPLE HONORS GUARDSMEN AS THEY

DEPLOY ONYEARLONG MISSION TO PROTECT THE NATION’S CAPITAL

BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Jack Dalrymple today joined public and military officials, families and friends in honoring more than 200 members of the North Dakota National Guard’s (NDNG) 1st Battalion, 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment as they prepare to deploy on a yearlong mission to Washington, D.C. in support of Operation Noble Eagle. Dalrymple addressed the Guardsmen and their families during a send-off ceremony at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks.

“Our country knows it can turn to North Dakota for the nation’s most ca-

pable soldiers and the 1-188th will carry on our Guard’s honored tra-dition of distinguished military ser-

vice throughout the unit’s deploy-ment to protect our nation’s capital,” Dalrymple said. “While it’s diffi cult for these soldiers to say goodbye to their families and friends, we know they are about to perform a noble mission in defense of our nation. We are proud of these Guardsmen and grateful to them and their fami-lies for their willingness to serve on our behalf.”

While deployed, the 1-188th will collaborate with other Department of Defense agencies as part of the in-tegrated air defense system designed to protect the airspace around the National Capital Region. This is the 1-188th’s 10th deployment since 2004, making it the most-deployed unit in the NDNG. The unit is headquartered in Grand Forks with detachments in Bismarck and Fargo.

PRESIDENT APPROVES LIMITED

EMERGENCY DECLARATIONBISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Jack

Dalrymple and the state’s Congressional Delegation

received word late today that President Obama has approved a limited emergency declaration to assist in fl ood-fi ghting efforts along the Red River. The declara-tion makes available federal re-sources and fi nancial assistance to help local jurisdictions within Cass, Grand Forks, Pembina, Rich-land, Traill and Walsh counties re-cover costs associated with severe fl ooding.

“We’re pleased that the president has approved our request so that federal resources will be available to assist in fl ood-fi ghting efforts along the Red River,” Dalrymple said. “We will continue to press the Federal Emergency Management Agency to expand the declaration to include other counties threat-ened by major fl ooding.”

Dalrymple’s request for a presi-dential emergency declaration in-cluded Barnes, Benson, Bottineau, Cass, Grand Forks, McHenry, Nel-son, Pembina, Ramsey, Ransom, Richland, Towner, Traill and Walsh counties, as well as the Spirit Lake Reservation. The potential for sig-nifi cant river, tributary and over-land fl ooding also exits in other counties in the Devils Lake Basin as well as in the Souris, Sheyenne, James and Pembina river basins. Other counties and Tribal Nations may be included as conditions change.

“With the threat of fl ooding across North Dakota again this year, it’s important that we have a declaration in place to make sure all of the necessary resources are available to mount a success-ful fl ood fi ght,” said Hoeven who along with the state’s congressio-nal delegation wrote a letter to the president in support for the gover-nor’s request. “We need to ensure at every level of government that we are able to meet the challenges

of protecting our people and pre-venting a larger disaster.”

Dalrymple sent a letter to Presi-dent Obama on Tuesday, April 23, requesting the emergency decla-ration due to weather conditions and forecasts that show strong po-tential for severe spring fl ooding along the Red River, Sheyenne Riv-er, Souris River, Devils Lake Basin and other areas of the state.

“I am pleased the Administra-tion has heeded our concerns in North Dakota, and provided pro-active federal assistance for the fl ood season,” Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said. “This funding is important to our communities as we enter into a season of unpredictable spring fl ooding and we will be able to bet-ter prepare for these emergencies.”

“It is good to see this request moving forward, and I remain hopeful the fl ood impact will be reduced by the good preparation done by our residents and city of-fi cials,” Congressman Kevin Cram-er said.

Factors contributing to major fl ood threats include the latest snowmelt on record, a heavy snow-pack with water content at 200 per-cent of the historic norm, excessive precipitation, saturated soils and a lack of available surface storage.

On March 29, Dalrymple issued a state emergency declaration for counties and Tribal Nations that face a 50 percent chance of reaching or exceeding moderate fl ood stage. In issuing the state fl ood emergency, Dalrymple cit-ed heavy snowpack, saturated topsoil conditions and full sur-face storage in sloughs, ponds and drainage systems in areas throughout the state.

The governor’s state emergen-cy declaration activated the State Emergency Operations Plan which requires that state offi cials and agencies and the North Dakota Na-tional Guard prepare to provide timely fl ood response services.

2014 Fishing, Hunting and Boat Registration Fees

Increases in North Dakota hunting, fishing and

boat registration fees recently passed by the state

legislature will not take effect until 2014.

Terry Steinwand, director of the State Game and Fish De-partment, said the current

three-year boat registration cycle runs through December, and 2013-14 hunting and fi shing licenses are in effect through next March. There-fore, registration fees for boat own-ers will go up Jan. 1, 2014, while hunters and anglers will see the li-cense increase in April, 2014.

“This is the fi rst time in many years we’ve seen such a wide range of license fee increases,” Steinwand said. “State legislators, hunters and anglers voiced overwhelming sup-port during committee hearings and when voted on the fl oor. We

heard that same type of support at statewide advisory board meetings last fall.”

Steinwand said the main issue the legislature deliberated was how much of an increase was appropri-ate. “There were some avid hunters and anglers in the state who want-ed to see a substantial increase in prices to support habitat, enforce-ment, fi sheries and access, but it was important that the increases didn’t price anyone out of the out-doors experience,” he added. “The feedback we’ve been getting from hunters and anglers is that this leg-islation strikes the right balance.”

Despite these increases, Stein-

wand said North Dakota hunting and fi shing licenses are still less ex-pensive than equivalent licenses in surrounding states.

Senate Bill 2231 passed the house by a vote of 77-15 and the senate 39-6.

Effective Jan. 1, 2014, the cost to license a motorboat under 16 feet in length, and all canoes, will in-crease from $12 to $18; motorboats from 16 feet to less than 20 feet in length from $24 to $36; and motor-boats at least 20 feet in length from $33 to $45.

Effective April 1, 2014: resident small game hunting li-cense will increase from $6 to $10 nonresident small game hunting license from $85 to $100 resident big game hunting li-cense from $20 to $30 (youth big game license remains at $10) nonresident big game hunting li-

cense from $200 to $250 nonresident big game bowhunt-ing license from $200 to $250 resident furbearer license from $7 to $15 resident wild turkey license from $8 to $15 combination license from $32 to $50 nonresident waterfowl hunting license from $85 to $100 statewide nonresident waterfowl license from $125 to $150 nonresident furbearer and non-game license from $25 to $40 resident swan license from $5 to $10 nonresident swan license from $25 to $30 resident crane license from $5 to $10 nonresident crane license from $5 to $30 and a nonresident reciprocal trapping license from $250 to

$350 In addition, the resident applica-tion fee for moose, elk and sheep will increase from $3 to $5, and a habitat restoration stamp re-quired for the general game li-cense increases from $10 to $17, with $8 (instead of $5) of each habitat stamp sold placed in the Game and Fish Department’s pri-vate land habitat and access im-provement fund. Changes to fi shing licenses effec-tive April 1, 2014 include: resident fi shing license will in-crease from $10 to $16 resident age 65 and older or per-manently disabled fi shing li-cense from $3 to $5 resident husband and wife fi sh-ing license from $14 to $22 resident paddlefi sh tag from $3 to $10 nonresident paddlefi sh tag from $7.50 to $25.50

nonresident husband and wife fi shing license from $45 to $60 nonresident fi shing license from $35 to $45 nonresident three-day fi shing li-cense from $15 to $25 and a nonresident 10-day fi shing license from $25 to $35In addition to Senate Bill 2231,

other bills regarding license fees were recently signed into law.

House Bill 1264, in part, charg-es a fee of $5 for residents and $50 for nonresidents to hunt statewide during the early Canada goose sea-son. These dates no longer count against the 14-day regular season nonresident waterfowl license. This law is in effect for the 2013 hunting season.

Effective April 1, 2014, House Bill 1434 allows a North Dakota veter-an with a 50 percent service-relat-ed disability to buy a fi shing license for $5.

US Department of Labor’s OSHA cites First Choice Energy

after oil field worker killed at Stanley, ND, job site

STANLEY, N.D. - The U.S. Depart-ment of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administra-

tion has cited First Choice Energy of Minot with nine serious safety viola-tions for exposing workers to unsafe conditions at an oil fi eld drilling and fl uid disposal operation in Stanley. The inspection was prompted after a worker was killed after being caught in the agitator of an oil fi eld vacuum truck storage tank on March 14.

“First Choice Energy failed to de-velop and implement the most basic of confi ned space and energy control safety protocols,” said Eric Brooks, OS-HA’s area director in Bismarck. “Com-panies have a responsibility to rec-ognize—and train their workers to recognize—hazards unique to their job sites in addition to protecting workers from such hazards.”

Five of the nine citations involve vi-olations of OSHA’s confi ned space re-quirements, including lack of atmo-

spheric testing, permitting, signs and emergency response procedures.

Other citations involve not proper-ly protecting workers from open pit fall hazards, lack of energy control and lockout/tagout procedures and equipment, failing to conduct annu-al inspections of energy control pro-cedures and to train workers on such procedures. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.

A confi ned space has limited or re-stricted means for entry or exit, and it is not designed for continuous em-ployee occupancy. Confi ned space hazards are addressed in specifi c standards. For more information see, http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/confi ned-spaces/index.html.

OSHA has proposed penalties of $33,000.

First Choice Energy has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and penalties to comply, request an infor-mal conference with OSHA’s area di-rector or contest the fi ndings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

To ask questions, obtain compli-ance assistance, fi le a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fa-talities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA’s toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency’s Bismarck Area Offi ce at 701-250-4521.

Under the Occupational Safe-ty and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their em-ployees. OSHA’s role is to ensure these conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, ed-ucation and assistance.

North Star/Leeds baseball finally underwayBy Lavonne Haugen

For the Record-Herald

The North Star/Leeds Bearcats traveled to Harvey to take on Rolette/Wolford Comets in

their fi rst Region 5 game of the sea-son on Monday, April 29. Any open fi eld is fair game for region teams as they struggle to fi nd places to get in their games before the start of play-offs.

Brooks Larson took the mound for the Bearcats as they started the game in a light rain. The two teams managed to get in four innings of play, which qual-

ifi ed as a full game, before wet con-ditions and a sloppy fi eld forced the coaches to call the game. The Bearcats fi nished with a 4-1 victory with Larson on the mound all four innings, pitch-ing 7 strike outs.

The Bearcats jumped out to an ear-ly 2-1 lead in the fi rst inning and scored one in the third and one in the fourth to put away the Comets. Larson was 1 for 1 with 1 RBI, Christian Kvilvang was 1 for 2 with one run scored and one sto-len base, Jake Hagler was 1 for 3 with one stolen base and Jayden Komrosky fi nished 1 for 2 for the Bearcats.

Head coach, Corey Hagler, while happy to get the game in, was frustrat-

ed with the wet conditions. “We fi nal-ly got outside to play some ball, but the minute we take the fi eld it start-ed to rain and didn’t quit.” Coach Ha-gler was pleased with the fi rst win of the season, saying, “We did get in 4 in-nings which is enough for an offi cial game. I thought we played really well for practicing in the gym for a month. Brooks Larson pitched an awesome game striking out 7 and not giving up an earned run. We had 4 hits and got the base runners when we needed them. Overall it was a very good fi rst outing. It’s going be a short season so we are going have to be at our best ev-ery outing.”

The North Star baseball team took a break from practicing indoors to break up the snow banks around the baseball

field. Despite having a scrimmage on the field last Saturday, the field is no longer useable due to the entire outfield

flooding with the warmer temps.

Mother’s Day Minus Mom

Mother’s Day is supposed to be a happy occasion where-in individuals honor their

mothers and other special women with gifts and tokens of appreciation. But for the men and women who have lost their mothers, this holiday can be everything from bittersweet to painful. Honoring Mom takes on new meaning. Any holiday can be particu-larly diffi cult to enjoy when a loved one passes away. However, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day -- dates on the calendar specifi c to a special person in one’s life -- can be even more trying, especially if the loss is still fresh. In-dividuals who have lost their moth-ers may experience Mother’s Day in myriad ways. Some may choose to ig-nore the day, preferring to keep busy and not acknowledge that Mother’s Day is taking place. Others may pour over memories of their mother, look-ing at old photos or videos. Some may make a trip to a cemetery or spe-cial place of refl ection. Certain peo-ple prefer to be alone, while others want to be in the comfort of a group.

The way the holiday is spent is entire-ly up to the person and the way he or she feels the most comfortable. In fact, it can be downright challenging to wade through the rows of greeting cards at every store and watch scores of commercials on television remind-ing one not to forget to pick up some-thing special for one’s mother. If a person is looking for a way to cele-brate Mom after she has passed on, here are a few ideas. * Remember a good time had with Mom and then capture those happy feelings. * Do-nate to a charity or do something spe-cial that Mom would have appreciat-ed. * Plant a tree or plant in her honor in the yard. * Watch a video or look through pictures of Mom and remem-ber all of the good times had togeth-er. * If you are a mother, relish in the day with the kids and other family. Your Mom would want you to. * Wear a white carnation to symbolize that you have lost your mother. * Gather together with siblings or friends who have lost their mothers and spend the day together.

Whooping Crane MigrationWhooping cranes are in the

midst of their spring migra-tion and sightings will in-

crease as they make their way through North Dakota over the next several weeks. Anyone seeing these birds as they move through the state is asked to report sightings so the birds can be tracked.

Whoopers stand about fi ve feet tall and have a wingspan of about sev-en feet from tip to tip. They are bright white with black wing tips, which are visible only when the wings are out-spread. In fl ight they extend their long necks straight forward, while their long, slender legs extend out behind the tail. Whooping cranes typically migrate sin-gly, or in groups of 2-3 birds, and may be associated with sandhill cranes.

Other white birds such as snow geese, swans and egrets are often mis-taken for whooping cranes. The most common misidentifi cation is pelicans, because their wingspan is similar and

they tuck their pouch in fl ight, leav-ing a silhouette similar to a crane when viewed from below.

Anyone sighting whoopers should not disturb them, but record the date, time, location, and the birds’ activity. Observers should also look closely for and report colored bands which may occur on one or both legs. Whooping cranes have been marked with colored leg bands to help determine their iden-tity.

Whooping crane sightings should be reported to the U.S. Fish and Wild-life Service offi ce at Lostwood, (701) 848-2466, or Long Lake, (701) 387-4397, the North Dakota Game and Fish De-partment’s main offi ce in Bismarck at (701) 328-6300, or to local game wardens across the state. Reports help biologists locate important whooping crane hab-itat areas, monitor marked birds, de-termine survival and population num-bers, and identify times and migration routes.

Beautiful lawn vs. faithful pet

Putting a stop to lawncare woes

Over time a pet who is routine-ly using a patch of grass as his personal potty will dam-

age that stretch of lawn. The behav-ior of canines plus the chemical com-ponents of the urine contribute to the brown, dead patches synonymous with dog waste. But there are ways to mitigate the problem.

Dog urine and feces can often be a frustrating problem, even to pet-lov-ers. The war between wanting a pris-tine lawn and a healthy pet can drive pet owners to investigate ways to pre-vent or reduce marring of the lawn. Do those urban legends like tomato juice or baking soda work? In most cases, no. However, there are ways to reduce the amount of lawn damage with other methods.

Dog waste chemistryUnderstanding why urine and feces

can affect the lawn requires under-standing the makeup of these waste products. The fundamental prob-lem involves the concentration of ni-trogen in the solid and liquid waste. Primarily in dogs, the kidneys serve to remove excess nitrogen from the dog’s high-protein, meat-based diet. In small concentrations, nitrogen ap-plied to a lawn can actually serve as a fertilizer --helping the lawn to be green and bright. But it’s the higher concentrations that do the most dam-age. These essentially burn out the grass and cause brown, bare patches that can be rather unsightly.

A few decades ago, Dr. A.W. Allard, a Colorado veterinarian, examined nu-merous variations in dog urine and the effects on several common lawn grasses. He found fescue to be the most nitrogen-resistant. Yet, even that grass has it’s saturation point and can brown.

Who is the biggest offender?Dog owners sometimes think that

female dogs have different urine chemistry because they tend to do the most damage to the lawn.
