Easter Bunny hands out lunches at the Bowman County Middle School on Thursday, April 9th, 2020.

Governor proclaims Easter Bunny essential in latest executive order Staff Report

It is official.

The Easter Bunny is essential.

So is the Tooth Fairy and all other magical creatures.

The North Dakota governor declared that in an official proclamation just days before Easter.

According to Gov. Doug Burgum, they are all essential state employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The governor issued the executive order Friday which said that the rabbit was permitted to deliver holiday treats to young North Dakotans on Sunday morning.

Among the other recent executive orders, the governor has signed or amended four executive orders designed to address COVID-19 impacts.

According to the government website, these actions included: Giving school districts the same flexibility to hold mail ballot-only

elections for special elections that was provided for school board elections and the June 2020 election.

Suspending the requirement that a school district conduct a written performance review for every teacher, principal and assistant/associate superintendent employed for more than three years. Written performance reviews will still have to be conducted for those employed for less than three years. This provides flexibility for evaluations and will help allow teachers and administrators to continue focusing on providing distance learning to make sure every North Dakota student receives a quality education.

Allowing winter-grade fuel to be sold until May 20 instead of the traditional April 1 cutoff date. The state has an oversupply of winter-grade fuel due to the travel restrictions and economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 emergency.

Suspending the pesticide applicator certification for the use of non-restricted disinfectants during this public health emergency.

A six-foot Easter Bunny helped draw kids and their parents into Bowman Saturday for a drive-thru variation of an Easter Egg Hunt at the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill.

Easter Bunny hands out eggs at drive thru

Staff Report

They came driving by the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill in Bowman Saturday for one big reason....

A six-foot Easter bunny was handing out eggs and candies in a new variation on the annual Easter Egg Hunts.

Instead of at a local campground or inside the 4 Seasons Pavilion, this Easter Egg “Hunt” was trying to keep some social distancing while give the children still a taste, albeit sweet and sugary, of normalcy.

According to Jan Schmidt, the drive thru Easter celebration kept the people working inside the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill busy from when it opened at 11 a.m. Saturday morning until the final car came by at about 8 p.m.

“Everybody was very grateful and thankful the kids got eggs,” she said Monday morning as she prepared to reopen.

The idea came from the owner of Windy’s, she explained. “He was talking to the ABATE people who put on the Easter Egg Hunt and he was the one who suggested that they (ABATE) could just do the drive thru because of the Corona Virus.

“We had about seven days to think about it,” she said.

“We had something like 174 bags with candy in them – like a chocolate Easter Bunny... We started at 11 a.m. and my last one was at like 8 p.m. at night. The guy called and said we missed it and asked if we still had some. He came in and he passed out four more (bags) The Easter Bunny stood at the corner and waved and danced for all the kids.

“I think they (ABATE) would much rather have had the kids run out on the grounds and pick up the eggs like they dd. Kids enjoy that … it is much more fun.”

Although it turned out to be successful, Schmidt said it will probably not be repeated next Easter in 2021.

“It was the first annual and about the only annual,” Schmidt said. “It is just not Easter. Little kids got to get out and run. It is just not the same when you are strapped in your cars seat.”

Governor praises Slope County residents, officials for COVID drive-up testing success Staff Report

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum praised two rural communities for the way the people responded to a pilot project announced April 3.

During his press conference Monday, the governor said that 367 people were able to be tested Saturday in Amidon, while another 368 were tested Sunday in Gladstone.

Slope County was the first to be tested under “Operation Drive Up”, with the state staffing a test site at the county fairgrounds for county residents to visit.

“Our ‘Operation Rural Drive In’ testing was so successful that it was over subscribed. This is one of the first in the country. This would not have been possible if we had not been able to build up our testing capacity to where we could continue to test all the people who were presenting as symptomatic at all the facilities around the state and have the capacity to do surveillance testing in two targeted areas.

“We have been asked why we picked these two areas (Slope County and Gladstone).

“When we picked Slope County, we had a county that had had zero tests and zero positives. It is a large county with a very low population per square mile. It is one of the most rural counties in the nation.

“Between when we picked it and when we announced, we had our first positive, but we were still going into a largely unpopulated part of the country, which was part of the testing criteria,” he explained.

A total of 367 samples were collected at the Slope County testing site in Amidon, the governor said. “Originally, the

testing was going to go from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., but it went from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. because of the huge turnout. We had a line of cars winding from the Amidon fairgrounds in through the town of Amidon. I apologize to those who came and waited and were turned away because we didn’t have enough tests. We tested a lot more than we thought would show up. It was good feedback for us and there is widespread interest in these drive-thru testing,” he said.

The testing from Slope County and

Letter to the Editor

To Bowman County and surrounding communities, My name is Bob Letson and I was hired as interim CEO of Southwest Healthcare Services and have been in Bowman since March 16th.

I have spent more than 40 years in healthcare management and most recently was CEO of a healthcare system in Homer, Alaska for ten years.

Under normal circumstances I would have liked to give a proper introduction, but these are not normal circumstances.

This recent period of time has been one of the most challenging in all my years in healthcare.

And I have never been more impressed with a staff than I am with our employees at Southwest Healthcare Services. The way they have stepped up to the challenge while working to protect our staff, our residents, and our patients has exceeded all expectations.

I want to let you know how we are fighting to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Under the direction of Dr. Matthew Feller and clinic manager, Lisa Knopp, we’ve designated the Pod A block of exam rooms for patients suffering from any respiratory illness. Patients who have symptoms of the coronavirus have been directed to call ahead so we can prepare to administer testing and possible treatment. Those patients are also asked to enter a specific door that leads

directly into Pod A. We have a decontamination room setup and we usually take swabs and blood draws in the exam rooms to limit patient traffic to avoid exposure for our patients and our staff members.

Our latest measure of protection has been for all staff to wear masks at all times, and to restrict visitors to a minimum. We have had many generous community members sew and donate cloth masks for our staff. Our clinic reception area has also been equipped with sheets of acrylic to shield both our staff and the patient checking into our facility.

I want to take this opportunity to thank our many generous donors. Thank you to those who have sewn and donated masks. Thank you to those who have donated food and flowers. These gestures are what keeps spirits high during difficult times. Thank you to local businesses who have provided us with protective equipment, such as Tyrek suits and face shields. Southwest North Dakota is home to some very generous people and businesses.

It remains to be seen when our lives might return to normal. But until then, thank you for the generosity and thank you for all of the support you give us each and every day.

Thank you, Bob Letson Interim CEO

Pastors Corner: The Power of Grace

By Fr. Paul Eberle

I first read C.S. Lewis’ famous work, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, while in seminary many years ago.

It is one of the few books I have read multiple times. The Christian symbolism immersed throughout helps me see the Gospels with fresh insight. If you have read it, you likely know what I mean. It is about the power of grace. Good overcoming evil. Love breaking the bonds of death. Obedience shattering the misery of disobedience. Sacrificial offering

saving us from ourselves.

The children - Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are the main characters of the book.

They are the Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve and represent you and me. Aslan, the great and awesome Lion, represents Christ. Toward the beginning of the book, Edmund has betrayed the others and tries to keep hidden his allegiance with the evil White Witch who rules over Narnia and represents Satan. But Aslan returns and is “on the move” and even from a distance the evil spell which keeps Narnia a cold, sad land begins to break. The first time Aslan is mentioned to the children, Edmund feels a “mysterious horror,” but Peter feels “suddenly brave,” Susan feels something “delicious and delightful” in the air, and Lucy feels like you do “when you wake up on Christmas morning, or on the first day of school holiday.” Aslan’s awesome power, just as the power of Jesus Christ’s name, brings

feelings of unease in those who lie, such as Edmund, and feelings of bravery, joy, and peace in those who have been obedient and truthful, such as the other three children. When we hear the name of Jesus Christ, what emotion stirs within our heart? Do we move closer to or further away from the Presence of his name?

It is clear Edmund can do nothing to undo the result of his own lies. Only Aslan (Christ) can undo the power of sin. Only God’s grace can redeem us. Aslan breaks the power of the evil spell by allowing himself to be sacrificed on the Stone Table (the Cross).

The wicked White Witch (Satan) did not know that when an innocent one (Aslan-Christ) chooses to take the place of the guilty (Edmund – you and I), then death would start working backward and the Resurrection to new life would prevail. Jesus, thank you for your Sacrifice, so that we may have the hope and promise of Eternal Life.

Gladstone will help the state get a good statistical sample, the governor added.

He gave a “shout-out” to the Slope County officials, including the emergency manager, the county commission and the fairgrounds board, along with everybody who made the testing possible.

“Thank you to all the folks from the Department of Health and those from the National Guard that were part of this assignment, and all the people who planned it and executed it. And all the people from the local health departments that were there supporting it,” he said.

The governor also said that the testing in Slope County helped to confirm the oral swab testing used in Amidon was working with the new M2000

Abbott machine. “We received two of those last week. We were one of the few states in the country to get an allocation of those,” he explained. “It was exciting to see those up and running.”

According to the governor, one reason Gladstone was chosen was it being a small community in Stark County, one of the hot spots in the state.

“Stark County and Mountrail County are the two counties that have a higher percentage of positive cases per population than any of our other metro areas.”

Overall, the state collected 735 samples at the two test locations over the weekend.

One of the positive aspects of the testing will be the ability to see if people came in for the testing with no symptoms, yet tested positive, he said.

“This is data which could help really shape our models, not just here in North Dakota but in the models for this country.

“The faster we can identify someone who is positive … and someone is identified as asymptomatic, but they are positive, the quarantine order we just announced applies to them.” he said.

“This is where we have had some issues, where people are asymptomatic or showing no symptoms, but are spreading it unwittingly,” the governor said.

Social distancing “We are asking the public and public leaders to reinforce the message about the importance of this (social distancing) to stop the spread. I know people are well intentioned in terms of their gatherings, but whether it is for social purposes or something you might think is incredibly important....

“I know many families have had to make the very, very difficult decision of postponing funerals,” the governor said.

“But one of the big hot spot outbreaks in eastern

Canada came from a group of people who all attended a funeral,” Gov. Burgum said.

“So, we have to be careful. We have to think about the cultural challenges this (COVID-19) presents for us. In times of need is when people want to come together, want to be with each other, want to give each a hug and want to support (them).

“Part of that culture is what we have to try to resist because that culture doesn’t match up with how rapidly this virus can spread, how contagious this virus is and how this is deadly especially for people who are elderly with underlying health conditions,” he explained in the televised press conference.

“This is not the flu. This is 15 times more deadly for people with underlying health conditions,” the governor stressed. “Over 20 percent of the people in North Dakota would fall into that category.

ND agencies announce lineup of virtual events and activities for parents, children and others to help build protective factors in families during COVID-19 pandemic BISMARCK, N.D. – In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Children and Family Services Division and Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota (PCAND) have partnered with child advocate agencies in the state to host virtual events and activities beginning this week to help build stronger, healthier families during this stressful time.

“We all have a role in building the protective factors families need to ensure that children grow up healthy and happy,” said Marlys Baker, the department’s child protection services administrator. “COVID-19 has made life difficult. Social distancing is very important for health reasons. However, it can increase the risk for isolation and impact mental well-being and parenting. We are inviting parents, children and community members who can support them to participate in virtual events and opportunities organized by our partners that support mental health and well-being.”

Upcoming Events:

PCAND is hosting events on its Facebook page throughout the month. Beginning today, April 9, they will host Heidi

Pesticide Certification Deadline Extended Gov. Doug Burgum has issued an executive order that suspends the April 1, 2020, expiration of commercial, public and private pesticide applicator certifications under North Dakota Century Code 4.1-33 for the duration of the declared state of public health emergency.

This waiver comes after North Dakota State University Extension canceled its in-person training and testing sessions based on physical distancing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Applicators and dealers who were certified through April 1, 2020, retain their status and now have until the end of the public health emergency to take the appropriate refresher training to renew their certificates.

NDSU Extension has been offering online renewal options for commercial, public and dealers, and more are being scheduled for those whose certification expired April 1. Private applicator online renewal options are being scheduled, and details are available from NDSU Extension county offices. These trainings allow for a full three-year certificate.

Applicators and dealers are encouraged to take advantage of training when it becomes available because once the public health emergency ends, current certifications no longer will be valid.

Information about examination for individuals who need initial or new certification will be released by April 17.

Woods, founder of Mindful You – Mindful Me, on Thursday afternoons. Woods will present four 20-minute virtual sessions that will cover caregiver and child mental health and well-being, and yoga and mindfulness resources and practices to reduce stress, including simple tips to incorporate mindfulness and social and emotional learning at home. Her sessions will be posted on the PCAND Facebook page Thursday afternoons starting today and ending April 30.

PCAND is also hosting North Dakota native and recognized clinical researcher, physician and author Dr. Bruce Perry on April 16 from 2 to 3 p.m. Central Time. Perry who is senior fellow of the Child Trauma Academy, a community of practice based in Houston, Texas, and adjunct professor in the departments of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill., will discuss coping with COVID-19 and helping children and families manage stress and build resilience. Individuals are encouraged to check the PCAND Facebook page for updates and the link to attend Perry’s presentation.

On April 23, PCAND will post a discussion with pediatrician and integrative medicine physician Dr. Kathy Anderson about a pediatrician’s view during COVID-19. Anderson has been practicing in Bismarck for the past 10 years at Mid Dakota Clinic and CHI St.

Alexius Medical Center where she has served as chair of pediatrics. She recently launched a pediatric telemedicine practice.

In addition to these opportunities, community partners have also organized virtual educational activities. North Dakotans are invited to add these events to their calendars and to participate.

North Star Human Service Zone, which includes Burke, Divide, Renville and Williams counties, has created a Facebook group to recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month, promote healthy family interactions, and share information and promote weekly events. This week, they are inviting families to have their own family game night and to post pictures. Next week, they are encouraging yard displays and pinwheel decorations, along with messaging focused on healthy family interactions.

The third full week of April, they are encouraging families to cook and enjoy a meal together, and during the final week of April, they will hold a virtual popcorn and movie night.

The Region 6 Parent Resource Center in Valley City continues to share resources promoting strong, healthy families and will deliver their parent education class in an online format in April.

West Dakota Parent and Family Resource Center in Dickinson is hosting 5-minute Facebook Live sessions promoting PCAND’s virtual events this

month. They will also be offering a weekly 30-minute check-in to open the lines of communication among parents regarding self-care. They hope the open format will encourage parents to reach out if they are looking for extra support.

Lastly, the Dakota Children’s Advocacy Center in Bismarck is hosting virtual events in April on social media. Topics will include: emotional regulation (April 14), Tucker Turtle Takes Time to Tuck and Think (April 15), caregiver and kid yoga (April 16), caught being good jars (April 17), calm down bottles (April 20), feelings story time With Miss Sparkles (April 21), cool coping strategies (April 22), “things I like about me” flowers (April 23), chore magnets (April 27), and gratefulness cards (April 28).

The department’s Children and Family Services Division supports and funds statewide child abuse and neglect prevention programs and activities in collaboration with public and private partners. Resource information is on the department’s website at www.nd.gov/dhs/ info/covid-19/families.html.

REMINDER: Individuals are reminded that if they suspect a child is being abused or neglected, they should call their local human service zone office.

Contact information is available online at www.nd.gov/dhs/locations/countysocialserv. If a child is in immediate danger, contact law enforcement.

Opioids.

Fill with preparedness.

Carry naloxone – an Rx that can reverse an overdose.

Anyone taking opioids — even those prescribed by a doctor — has an elevated risk of overdose. Which is why it’s so important to have naloxone on hand. Available through your doctor or pharmacist, it’s a safe and easy-to-use prescription that temporarily reverses the effects of opioids during an overdose until professional help arrives.

North Dakota launches Care19 app to combat COVID-19 BISMARCK, N.D. - Today Gov. Doug Burgum and the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) in partnership with ProudCrowd, creators of the popular Bison Tracker app, launched a free mobile app, Care19, to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in North Dakota.

This app will help the NDDoH reduce the spread of COVID-19 by more efficiently and effectively identifying individuals who may have had contact with people who have tested positive. Once the app is downloaded, individuals will be given a random ID number and the app will anonymously cache the individual’s locations throughout the day. Individuals are then encouraged to categorize their movement into different groups such as work or grocery. The app will only store the location of any place a person visits for 10 minutes or more, and the ID number of each individual contains no personal information besides location data.

If an individual tests positive for COVID-19, they will be given the opportunity to consent to provide their information to the NDDoH to help in contact tracing and forecasting the pandemic’s progression with accurate, real-time data. “This is an opportunity for North Dakotans to be leaders in the worldwide response to COVID-19,� said Burgum. “Our goal is for at least 50,000 North Dakotans to download the app. The more people

who participate, the more helpful the data will be.

The aggregated information this app is gathering can save lives. Embracing this technology is one more way we can show that we’re all in this together.�

The NDDoH has worked tirelessly to track COVID-19 cases, and about 250 people have jumped in to help ramp up efforts. Despite all the cooperation, this manual process is very time-consuming and not 100 percent accurate. Through a public-private partnership, the Care19 app will dramatically improve the state’s contact tracing abilities.

If individuals are categorizing movements, the NDDoH will be able to get a more accurate understanding of how COVID-19 is spreading – whether due to traveling, community spread or close contact spread – and where potential clusters are located. “We are extremely excited that our work on the Bison Tracker could be reshaped to quickly support the fight against COVID-19�, said ProwdCrowd CEO Tim Brookins. “Big thanks to Governor Burgum and his team, as well as my Microsoft co-workers who helped me bring Care19 to life.�

The first roll-out of the app is now available at the Apple App store and coming soon for Android users.

The Bowman Lodge and Convention Center announced that it was closing April 6, along with the Grazers Restaurant.

The announcement, made on Facebook, stressed that it was a voluntary closure, citing the well being and safety of the guests and customers.

“We are implementing extra precautionary measures to ensure the safety of our visitors and employees with a voluntary shut down,� the statement on Facebook explained. “During this period, all areas of our facility will be sanitized and thoroughly cleaned for reopening.�

The Bowman County Pioneer

Hoeven, Thune outline COVID assistance package Senators John Hoeven and John Thune held an online discussion with entrepreneurs and small business founders from North Dakota and South Dakota to outline the assistance provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Further, the senators reviewed their ongoing efforts to ensure the implementation of the law works for small businesses, provides sufficient funding to overcome the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and makes sure businesses can quickly restart their normal operations once the outbreak is resolved. “Whether it’s an independent contractor, startup or well-established small business, the CARES Act includes critical provisions to keep these operations afloat as we respond to COVID-19,â€?  said Hoeven. “Small business is a critical part of our economy, and our efforts are about ensuring they can access the assistance they need, keeping their employees in place and getting our economy going as soon as possible when it’s safe

to do so.â€? “One of the main goals of the CARES Act was to make sure Main Street small businesses across the country could pay their workers and keep them employed during this health crisis,â€? said Thune. “Our job now is to make sure we can continue to provide help to struggling businesses and keep the critically important Paycheck Protection Program funded. I’m grateful for today’s opportunity to discuss these issues and get important feedback from the businesses and entrepreneurs who have been affected by this crisis.â€?

Specifically, the senators highlighted: •Direct Assistance to Individuals – provides up to $1,200 for individuals, $2,400 for married couples and an additional $500 per child. The payments begin phasing out for individuals and couples with incomes of $75,000 and $150,000, respectively. •The Paycheck Protection Program – enables small businesses and self-employed individuals to maintain payroll through forgivable, federally-guaranteed loans.

•Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Pandemic Unemployment Compensation – expands unemployment benefits to those who would otherwise be ineligible, including self-employed individuals and independent contractors. •The Phase II legislation also provided self-employed individuals with refundable tax credits for family and sick leave, covering those who are required to quarantine or are caring for a child who is sick or whose school or child care facility has closed. •The Employee Retention Tax Credit – provides employers with a 50 percent refundable payroll tax credit for wages paid to employees, including those who are furloughed or facing reduced hours. •Economic Injury Disaster Loans and Loan Advance – provide loans of up to $2 million as well as a loan advance of up to $10,000 to cover a wide range of expenses. The emergency loan advance would not have to be repaid.

Sen. John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, recently issued a statement after Saudi Arabia, Russia and other oil-producing nations reached an agreement to cut oil production by nearly 10 million barrels per day (bpd).

Hoeven has been working with the administration to put an end to the oil price war and spoke with Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette recently to discuss the progress of his negotiations. Further, the senator also pressed Princess Reema Bandar Al Saud, the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the U.S., and Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud, the Saudi Energy Minister, on ending the price war, stressing the need to focus on combatting the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. “This is a welcome step toward providing stability in the global energy markets and helping our

domestic oil and gas producers to weather the economic challenges from COVID-19,� said Hoeven. “We’ve worked closely with the administration, including the President and Secretary Brouillette, to secure this agreement and have been pressing the Saudi leadership to end the global oil price war. We have more work ahead of us to maintain our energy security by helping U.S. producers during these historic times, which is why we will continue with our efforts to open the SPR for purchases of U.S. oil.�

Hoeven reportedly has been working to stop the global oil price war. The senator has pressed to resolve the issue, including: •In meetings and phone calls with President Trump, Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other administration officials. •In phone calls with Princess Reema Bandar Al Saud, the Sau-

di Arabian Ambassador to the U.S., where the Senator emphasized that Saudi Arabia needs to work with the United States and the community of nations to end the price war. •Through a letter to the Saudi Crown Prince Hoeven joined with his Senate colleagues. •With energy officials from international partners, urging their support to reach an agreement on global production. •The Senator has also worked to support the domestic oil and gas industry, by: •Announcing bipartisan, bicameral legislation to provide $3 billion in funding to purchase crude oil produced in the United States for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The legislation aligns with the request made by President Donald J. Trump and Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette to fill the SPR.  •Working with Energy Secretary Brouillette to open the SPR to American producers for leased storage on a temporary basis. •Encouraging “Buy Americanâ€? efforts.

Earlier, Hoeven hosted Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy Steven Winberg and Small Business Administration (SBA) North Dakota District Director Alan Haut in a video conference with the North Dakota Petroleum Council and its members, where the senator outlined efforts to support the domestic oil industry and end the global oil price war, as well as highlighted support available to North Dakota’s energy producers through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Whooping cranes sightings Doug Leier, North Dakota Game and Fish Department

Every year, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service put out a call this time of year for people to report sightings of whooping cranes as they make their way from Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas to Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada.

Aransas NWR sits along the Gulf of Mexico near Corpus Christi, Texas. From there it’s about 1,400 miles to central North Dakota, where these rare, large white birds are sometimes seen as they rest up for the rest of their journey.

Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada sits along the border of Alberta and the Northwest Territories, so the birds have another thousand miles to go once they leave North Dakota.

At their most dire situation in the 1940s, this population of birds that has migrated along the same route from wintering to nesting grounds and back for eons, was hovering near extinction at less than 20 remaining wild birds. Today, that same group of birds numbers around 500.

While not all of them fly over North Dakota or land here on their spring or fall migration, anyone who does get lucky enough to see them can chalk it up as a rare experience. As a biologist, I practice what I preach and don’t intentionally go out looking for whooping cranes, but I do spend time outdoors at all times of year and have yet to see one on a random occasion.

But the Game and Fish Department does have a mounted specimen at its headquarters

office in Bismarck, and it is indeed remarkable. It stands about 5 feet tall and if it had its wings outstretched, they would measure about 7 feet from tip to tip.

Adults whooping cranes are bright white with black wing tips, which are visible only when the wings are outspread.

In flight, they extend their long necks straight forward, while their long, slender legs extend out behind the tail. Whooping cranes typically migrate singly, or in groups of two to three birds and may be associated with sandhill cranes.

Other white birds, such as snow geese, swans and egrets, are often mistaken for whooping cranes.

The most common misidentification is pelicans, because their wingspan is similar and they tuck their pouch in flight, leaving 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 also should 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 identity.

Whooping crane sightings should be reported to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offices at Lostwood, 701-848-2466, or Long Lake, 701-387-4397, national wildlife refuges; the state Game and Fish Department in Bismarck, 701-328-6300, or to local game wardens across the state.

Reports help biologists locate important whooping crane habitat areas, monitor marked birds, determine survival and population numbers and identify times and migration routes.

BISMARCK – While agriculture and food have been deemed essential industries by the Department of Homeland Security, agriculture-related activities and events that are not essential to the process of producing food and feed should be canceled or postponed to a later date.

“We understood there was some confusion regarding our prior guidance on ag activities and events that are non-essential,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Events such as livestock auction markets and ag auction sales are considered essential and can operate

with certain precautions to mitigate risk. Events such as youth livestock sales, animal shows and other activities should either be canceled or moved to a date in the future and reassessed at that time.”

Goehring said that sales and events that are able to be done with web-based features and viewed online without in-person attendance could continue. “The people who are organizing the sale or event and need to be at the site in person should be limited to those that are essential and take all precautions to protect themselves and others,” he said.

Bowman County School District announced the hiring of Phil Weldele as the school’s new head volleyball coach.

Weldele has coached for 27 years, 23 at the high school level.

Weldele has experience coaching volleyball, girls’ and boys’ basketball, track and football.

He also has coached on the collegiate level at North Dakota State University, St. Cloud State (Minnesota), and Peru State College (Peru, Nebraska).

Weldele last coached volleyball at Glen Ullin-Hebron and one of his team’s biggest wins was when he guided the varsity Bearcats to a dramatic come-from-behind regional playoff win over Richardton-Taylor in the fall of 2018.

After winning the first two sets, the Raiders came back to tie the contest at 2-2 and force a fifth set.

The Raiders jumped out to an early lead, but after a time out, the Bearcats came back to claim the victory.

USDA’s COVID-19 Federal Rural Resource Guide Lists Federal Programs That Can Help Rural Communities, Organizations and Residents Impacted by COVID-19 WASHINGTON, April 13, 2020 – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today unveiled a one-stop-shop of federal programs that can be used by rural communities, organizations and individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 Federal Rural Resource Guide (PDF, 349 KB) is a first-of-its-kind resource for rural leaders looking for federal funding and partnership

opportunities to help address this pandemic.

“Under the leadership of President Trump, USDA is committed to being a strong partner to rural communities preparing for and impacted by COVID-19,” Perdue said. “This resource guide will help our rural leaders, whether they are in agriculture, education, health care or any other leadership capacity, understand what federal assistance is avail-
