Governor pushes for economical assistance as COVID-19 cases climb By Brad Mosher
bmosher@countrymedia.net
The governor of North Dakota stressed that the battle with the Coronavirus has been improving even as the number of cases increase. In his Friday press conference, Gov. Doug Burgum said that the number of cases were continuing to increase, both in positive tests and in fatalities. At the same time, he also stressed the strength of the North Dakota economy even without a full stay in place closure mandated by the state. Earlier in the week, the governor pointed to the fact that the state’s economy had not been closed. “All of agriculture, all of the energy segment, all of health care. Education - both K-12 and higher education - is being delivered through distance, but those institutions are all running and active every day, and so we’ve got a wide majority of our economy still going,” Burgum said. Disaster declaration During the press conference Friday, the governor also announced he’d made a disaster declaration. “Overland flooding and near-record river crests have caused extensive damage to state, county, city and township roads at a time when North Dakota is already responding to extremely challenging conditions. “Today, (Friday) I declared a statewide emergency for flooding that has caused an estimated $7 million in damage so far,” he said.

But it was COVID-19, which dominated the press conference again Friday. “We’ve got 39 additional new cases of the Coronavirus disease and the good news is that is out of 1,119 tests. So we are getting that testing engine up and running a little bit stronger. We still have a long ways to go. That is the good news – we have had more tests. This is our fifth largest day with 39 cases, but it is a new record in terms of the number of completed tests,” the governor said. “We are getting more accurate information and the positive rate has dropped down to 3.5 percent, which is good news. “That is below our cumulative rate of 4.3 (percent) which is going back to our very first positive on March 11. “The 4.3 is the sixth lowest in the nation, behind Hawaii, Alaska, Montana, West Virginia and Wyoming,” he added. “Two of those states, Hawaii and Alaska, are quite isolated and West Virginia is tucked away in the mountains there in the east. “We are in a good spot here with North Dakota and our neighbors to the west – Montana – and the southwest – Wyoming – that is one of the areas that has the lowest number of positives in the country,” Burgum explained. “One thing that we have been working very hard on and which will be key to our ability to get ourselves back and our economy going again is testing and we remain ninth in the nation in the per capita testing rate. That is going to be harder and harder to maintain,’ he said.
“We are dealing with a period of extreme uncertainty which is a challenge to running a business, there is a number of programs, including the paycheck protection program, which provides loans for payroll and some fixed business expenses. If you secure a PPP loan, it actually becomes a grant and if you spend more that 75 percent of it for paying your employees and keeping them on your payroll versus having them go on unemployment. This is important,” he said. Comparing North Dakota to other states, based on the number of small businesses with comparable populations, North Dakota did score more in terms of loans per capita. “There is 11,000 loans, totaling $1.5 billion, which were secured for North Dakota businesses,” he said.

Bowman County not under fire ban, but faces weather warning Staff Report
Bowman County is not under a burn ban as it moves into North Dakota’s Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week from April 27 - May 1. But it and the rest of western North Dakota went under a Fire Weather Watch Monday. The burn ban status could change as quickly as the weather in the region, according to Bowman County Fire District Chief Chad Welch. “The fire danger is coming up a little bit, but we do not have a burn ban on at this moment,” he said Monday. “Some springs we do, sometimes we don’t.” Welch said that he hopes the weather pattern will allow the region to become more green in the upcoming months. “Then the fire danger starts going down,” he explained. If landowners are planning to start a fire, they are are asked to notify the fire department. “Also, they need to call state radio and notify them so that we don’t get false alarms,” the fire chief explained. “Hopefully, it greens up and we can keep the fire danger down. I really don’t like putting a burn ban on and I really don’t like telling people that own land that they can’t burn at their own place. “I like to make sure that they understand that if they start a fire, then they are liable for it. If it gets into a building on their neighbors, their insurance is going to cover it. Most people use common sense. If it is going to be a dewy morning and they
It was a flashback to the 60s Friday night in Bowman when about two dozen vehicles cruised down Main Street as part of a plan to “Howl at the Moon.” Sheriff and Police vehicles led the parade when it started at dusk, traveling from Highway 12 north to the turnaround near the railroad tracks.

have something to burn, they can just burn it then,” Welch explained. He said that he doesn’t like to tell people what they can do on their land, and people have been burning for hundreds of years. The notification for a controlled burn can be just a short time before starting the fire, the chief explained. “If it is an hour, that is usually enough. Hopefully, they have watched the weather,” he added. If the weather conditions are questionable for a burn, Welch said he would tell the landowners there may be some problems with weather. “I’ll give them some suggestions, but I am not going to tell them that they can’t burn at this moment. “If it doesn’t green up and the winds keep going and we don’t get any moisture, we may have to put a burn ban on. “We don’t like to put it (a ban) on during the spring. There is usually a lot going on with cleaning up from winter,” he said. Recent rain storms also brought lightning strikes to the region also, he added. Among the recommendations Welch suggested were for property owners to check the weather forecasts, check the fire danger rating in their area and check
with the local fire departments. “I think the grass is starting to green up a little bit and we just need a little bit of rain... then we’ll be in good shape,” he said. According to the latest fire danger map on the NDresponse website, Bowman and Slope counties are the only ones without a burn ban in effect in southwestern North Dakota. Golden Valley, Billings, Stark, Hettinger and Adams counties all have current burn bans or restrictions in effect. In both Bowman and Slope counties, the fire danger level was rated as high on the fire danger map Monday. It was rated as very high in Hettinger and Adams counties. Golden Valley, Billings and Stark counties were also rated as high on the map Monday. As of Monday at noon, there were no red flag warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) in the state of North Dakota. However, the Bismarck office of the National Weather Service issued a weather warning Monday for southwest North Dakota, stating that there was a slight chance of thunderstorms in the area that evening. It also announced near critical fire danger
opened Monday (April 27), the governor said. “This $320 billion could potentially run out, so If you are someone who missed your chance to get a PPP loan … you can go to application window on the SBA (Small Business Administration) website regarding that second round of PPP loans.” Bank of North Dakota The governor said that North Dakota has been fortunate that it has a unique asset that no other state has. “We have our own state-owned bank. In times of crisis, whether it has been farm challenges during the Great Depression of the 1930s to the floods in Grand Forks and Minot in more recent decades or agricultural disasters like we were going through last fall, the state has benefited and relied on the BND to deliver disaster relief programs.” See COVID-19 Page 3
It started Friday night with a police escort, something which would have had an entirely different meaning in the 1960s when cruising down the main drag in towns used to be popular. But 60 years later, the rolling parade of old cars is making a comeback. Led by the Bowman Police and Bowman County Sheriff and flashing lights, approximately two dozen vehicles cruised down Main Street at dusk. For the second straight week, residents had set up a rolling convoy of cars, some revving up the engines, for another chance to ‘howl’ during the social distancing of North Dakota because of the COVID-19 virus pandemic. It started earlier in April when New England held a Saturday night “Howling at the Moon” cruise down Main Street in early April. Len Sadler, an Amidon native and graduate of New England High School, found out about it. And he posted it to his facebook page. “Last Saturday night New England had a “salute to the fire, ambulance, first responders, law enforcement” basically anyone on “the front line”.. I’d like to see Bowman do this too..
“With a little variation of including all the “essential” workers in the area!! NE howled in support at 8 p.m., then “cruised main” for about another hour or so!!! “Gets us out, we still stay safe, and it was a hell of a lot of FUN!!! Remember there are three stop signs on Main now, and the older people may need to coach the younger ones on how to “properly” drag main.. “If anyone is interested, leave a ‘like’ or comment... I thought a good gathering place would be west of the ambulance garage.. About 7:45 seemed to work in NE.., “I have been over there three nights now,” he recalled. “Ardell Hanson had one hell of an idea, as far as I am concerned!!! Any interest in showing support? I am proposing Friday night, gather at 7:45, howl at 8 p.m. and drag main until whenever,” he posted to his Facebook page that day. Sadler, who owns Badlands Auto Body and Glass in Amidon, made a point to thank local law enforcement for it support. “We were saluting the emergency people, the paramedics,” he said a week later with the COVID Cruise down Main Street starting in Bowman. That prompted a thank you from Sadler on his Facebook

Pastor’s Corner Life with the Shepherd at the Center
By Pastor Mary Wiggins
This pandemic has caused me to reflect on the experience of my generation. For my adolescence and adulthood has been branded by major events, which have shaped us as a generation. It started for me with the Columbine school shooting and has included the milestones of 9/11, a recession as we hit the work force, and now Covid-19. My generation is not the exception that many will paint us. We are not the only ones who has experienced such things. I think of my grandparents generation who lived through the start of the dust bowl and some even are still here today. I think of the generations that follow mine and I wonder if this will be their 9-11. How will this event shape their lives and their identity as a generation? The people of God have something else to shape us and guide us as we journey through this collective hardship. The presence of the God has not forsaken us in this time. We can be reassured that
Christ is here for us now. For Christ is at the center of our lives providing guidance and protection, like that of a shepherd who is willing to lay down his life for his sheep. When we have Christ as the center of our lives, everything in our life is touched by the love, hope, and peace that Christ brings to us. We don’t have to live like God’s love is going to run out, because everything in our lives is touched by God’s love. Even when it feels like our lives contain no ounce of peace, with Christ at our center, Jesus brings us the peace that passes all understanding. And We don’t have to worry about what is out there waiting to get us in the world, because God is not going to let that event, circumstance, or person, take us away from him. Christ has already laid down his life for our sake and nothing is going to keep us from that protective love of the Almighty. This doesn’t mean that bad things are never going to happen to us. But it does tell us that we will not be overcome by these things. We will persevere and good will still win at the end of the day. We may not always feel that steadfast presence of Christ in tumultuous and uncertain periods of our life. But that does not mean that Christ is absent. Christ’s presence is promised to be there. And it is. In the middle of it all, we find Christ our Good Shepard. And may the presence of our Shepard continue to guide us through the days ahead.

Obituary
Roger A. Thompson, 79
Early this morning, we said a quiet good bye to a wonderful husband, dad, grandpa, friend, and leader. On Tuesday morning, Dad fell at the farm Breaking his left hip. He was undergoing treatment in Bismarck. Dad had a heart of gold and loved people to the fullest. His heart and body could not take any more, and he quietly joined his heavenly family. We will greatly miss Dad’s love, compassion and guidance. A private family service and burial was held on, April 20, 2020. A first generation American, Roger A. Thompson, loved, learned, and led throughout his life. He completed his final ride on April 16, 2020, in Bismarck, ND. He lived his entire life (July 30, 1940-April 16, 2020) in Northwestern South Dakota and Southwestern North Dakota with brief stays in Oregon for summer work and college. Roger attended Lincoln Rural School outside of Ludlow, SD, for the first six grades of school, and he often spoke of teacher Mr. Les Hafner. He and Dennis, his youngest brother, rode horse to the one room school that was located approximately three miles from the Andrew and Amanda (Peters) Thompson Ranch. In addition to Roger, the Thompson Ranch was home to his sister, Georgene, and brothers, Paul, Don, Bob, Dave, and Dennis. Roger and Dennis joined their mother Amanda when they moved to town to take care of Grandma Peters. There they stayed in the original home built in 1906 by Grandpa Palmer Sanden. The boys attended Bowman Public Schools, where Roger graduated in 1958.Roger continued to extend his learning opportunities by attending Dickinson State Teachers College and then Eastern Oregon State College in LaGrande, OR. He pursued an education degree and played football at both institutions. Roger married his life-long love and partner, Cordella Schade, on Dec. 28, 1960. A short time after their departure to Eastern Oregon, a letter
was received from his in-laws, Elmer and Marcella (Wick) Schade, asking the married couple to return to the family farm that was established in March 1906. The couple returned to the farm and worked side by side with Elmer and Marcella, until Elmer’s death in 1965. Roger and Cordella then took over the farm/ranch where they raised Hereford cattle followed by Red Angus cattle and then Black Angus cattle. All the breeds were branded with the one iron Walking X. Roger utilized many conservation farm/ranch techniques through the years and endorsed the use of technology. He raised wheat, corn, and barley as main crops. Most importantly, he raised his three sons, Kevin, Scott, and Mike, to love and respect the land while being aware of the importance of conservation and technology to farming and ranching. Roger remained on the family farm throughout his life. Roger’s most valued treasure was family and friends. He held them close to his heart, which can be demonstrated through his and Cordella’s open door policy: the coffee pot on and always ready to serve a slice of pie or a cookie. His great smile and hearty laugh greeted all visitors near and far. The Peters Family Reunions through the years were important as more than 300 relatives would gather to reminisce the past and discuss the future. Roger especially loved to have his grandkids
come to the farm and assist with various projects and events, sharing his seeds of knowledge and passion with them. He always had an extra dollar or quarter for the grandkids as they departed for home. Roger was a community builder and leader throughout his life. The various boards and committees he served included: Bowman Lutheran Church Board, Bowman County ASCS County Board, Bowman/Slope Social Service Board, Bowman Public School Board, Bowman Farmers Union Oil Board, Star Township Board, Bowman County Fair Board, Roughrider Education Services Program, Ace High 4-H Leader, District 39 Democrat Committee, and the Livestock Improvement Board. He was honored as a 1983 Harvest Bowl Recipient and was presented the Honorary State FFA Degree in 1995. Having enjoyed Roger’s love, compassion, and guidance are his wife of 59 years, Cordella; their sons: Mike and Erin Thompson, Emigrant, MT; Scott and Lisa Thompson, Hot Springs, SD; Kevin Thompson, Bowman, ND; their grandchildren: Rankin, LaRue (Matt), Truman (Jasmine), Gus (Adeline), Henry, Brooke (Logan), Bree and Brynn Thompson; sisters-in-law: Farrol Thompson and Rita Thompson, Buffalo, SD; Dorothy Johnson, Atascadero, CA; life-long friends, Jon and Bonnie Largis, Helena, MT; and numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins, along with neighbors and friends from around the world. Welcoming him to heaven are his parents, Andrew and Amanda Thompson; sister, Georgene and Bill Sarsland; brothers, Paul and Stella Thompson, Don Thompson, Bob and Charlotte Thompson, Dave and Letty Thompson, Dennis Thompson; in-laws, Elmer and Marcella Schade; brother-in-law, Dick Johnson; special life-long friends, Kenneth and Eleanor Largis, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The governor said that the bank’s board of directors have approved and passed two new loan programs, which would serve the state as it tries to recover from the economic hardship associated with the pandemic. “A smaller portion of the economy was shut down here than almost any other state,” he said. “But the real impact on the North Dakota economy in many ways came from the fact we compete on global markets in both agriculture and energy.” A majority of the unemployment figures were coming from the energy industry before COVID had taken off, the governor said. “We were involved in a steep drop in demand, combined with the geo-politics between major state-owned oil companies – particularly Russia and Saudi Arabia. That oil crash or collapse continues. There is

incredible hardship across the sectors of business in energy and agriculture,” Burgum said. The two programs by the Bank of North Dakota will cover all sectors of the economy, the governor explained. “So, regardless of what sector you are in, retail, small business, energy, ag … you name it … you have the opportunity to talk to your local bank and potentially apply for these loans. “The first one is a small employer loan fund is going to create a small employer loan fund to assist very small businesses in North Dakota who have the full time equivalent of 10 employees or less. I think it is going to serve many of the businesses the ordered closures. Sometimes, these have been referred to as ‘micro-loans.’ If you are self-employed … you may also qualify for this program.” The second program is called the COVID-PACE Recovery Program. “It will provide up to $200 million in funding to be
used as a buy-down interest rate program. PACE is part of a very successful group of programs that have been running in North Dakota for a long time. It will provide loans for up to $5 million for businesses of less than 500 and loans of up to $10 million for businesses or more than 500 (employees).” The PACE program will have a big impact financially in the state, according to the governor. “The return on the investment with this program is going to be very high because we are going to use the $200 million in buydown and B&D in cooperation with local financial institutions we’ll be able to write up to $1.8 billion in loans to North Dakota businesses and using that $200 million to buy the interest rate down from 3.5 or 3.75 down to 1 percent.” Testing thousands The governor pointed to the fact there had been 17,449 tests had been done in the state with a total of 748 positive results,

NDHSAA continues its spring sports shutdown
The North Dakota High School Activities Board of Directors continued an indefinite suspension of spring sports when they met on April 14 via conference call. In addition, the state basketball tournaments which were postponed in March, will stay that way for the present, the directors decided. The directors meet again May 1 to determine whether to continue the postponement for the remainder of the school year for the spring sports and the state basketball tournaments. If the spring sports tournaments are canceled, the sites in the rotations will be moved to the 2021 schedule. Highlights of the April 14 NDHSAA Board of Directors Meeting included: •The Board of Directors voted to extend the indefinite suspension of Spring Sports in accordance with Governor Burgum’s Executive Order 2020-10 requiring the closure of all public and non-public K-12 school facilities indefinitely, as well as Federal social distancing guidelines. •Winter Basketball State Tournaments and Fine Arts contests also remain suspended indefinitely. •The Board of Directors will re-evaluate on May 1 with the resumption of Spring Sports, Winter Basketball State Tournaments, and Fine Arts Contests to be considered only if a return to in-person K-12 instruction is imminent. •The Board approved a Combined Tournament Committee recommendation to move 2020 spring sports state tournament sites to 2021 in the event the Spring 2020 seasons are canceled. 2021-2027 spring state tournament sites would also be moved to 2022-2028 on the 7-year site rotation. •Bismarck was also added as a host site for future State Volleyball Tournaments. The Bismarck Event Center is scheduled to host the event for the first time in November 2021. A list of approved NDHSAA State Tournament Sites through the 202728 school year can be found here: https://ndhsaa.com/calendar/ tournament-sites/approved •An ad hoc committee reviewing potential esports regulations met on April 7, 2020. The committee will meet again in May and will have a recommendation for the full Board of Directors at the regularly scheduled June meeting.

Among the old cars he enjoyed seeing Friday going down Main Street was a Chrylser from the late 1950s driven by Kelly Lorge. “It was pretty cool. It was about a block long. “I don’t know if it was a ‘57, a ‘58 or a ‘59. I don’t know what year it was.” The regional revival of cruising started even earlier in Lemmon (South Dakota) when drivers in late March decided to cope with the COVID-19 outbreak and the social distancing by cruising Main, just like they had done when they were in high school many years ago. It also has spread to Hettinger as people find a way to combine social distancing into a social event.

according to the release by the state officials that morning. The state fatality total had climbed to 15 and that 67 of the tests had resulted in hospitalization. But by Saturday’s release from the North Dakota Department of Health, the death total had climbed again, to 16, while 70 required hospitalization. The total number of tests had also climbed to 19,350 with 803 positives.

cedures for businesses •Prepared for a second surge According to state officials, the overall rate of positive test results had been one of the lowest in the nation at 3.6 percent earlier in April. Over a two week period, the rate of positives had increased to a high of 4.47 percent by April 17, reportedly because of the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in a wind farm facility near Grand Forks. According to the governor, North Dakota’s rate of positive results from completed tests had been over seven percent for three of the last four days before the (April 17) release of the positive results. “This is still lower than many other states, but it’s more important than ever that we continue to follow #NDSmart guidelines to slow the spread of COVID-19,” the governor explained. Downward trend needed According to guidelines issued by the Trump administra-
tion, the number of cases, positive tests and reports of flu or COVID-19 like symptoms for a state on region need to be trending downward before considering to re-open the economy. In addition, there should be a strong testing program for healthcare workers, while the public in general should be maintaining social distancing, according to the guidelines. Employers should return to work, but in phases, the guidelines stressed. There is a second phase to the guidelines for the areas, which do not see a rebound in cases, which allows the state or region to further loosen the precautions. A final phase asks people to consider minimizing their exposure in public settings. According to federal officials, a big factor in the guidelines is the need for contact tracing to pinpoint the people the infected people have had contact with and to see the full extent of the infection in the area.
Construction began on 4/27/2020 on ND Hwy 22 near New England

What are the regulations related to buying animals or meat from a local producer/neighbor? NDSU meat Scientist Rob Maddock explains:
If the processing plant is USDA or State of ND inspected and the animals are slaughtered under inspection there are essentially no restrictions. In addition, if the animal is slaughtered under inspection, the meat can be sold out of a person home or business as long as they get a local or regional Department of Health license and a tax ID. For example, my family sells a few beef that we slaughter under inspection and we have several deep freezers from which we sell meat. If the processing plant is custom exempt (non-inspected) or if the animals were not slaughtered under inspection, then the buyer must pay for the animal. There are essentially no restrictions on how many people can buy the animal, so 4 people can buy a beef and each get one-quarter of the meat. In this case, the meat can only be used by the family that bought the animal and non-paying guests. The timing of the purchase of the animal is pretty lax. It is possible for a producer to deliver an animal to a processor and then sell the “animal.” The main restriction is the buyer must pay the livestock producer for the animal or portion of the animal, so technically they are not selling the meat. The buyer then typically pays the processor for the slaughter, processing, and packaging. It is important to note that the meat cannot be resold or donated to a food bank or other similar entity if it was not slaughtered under inspection. Also, none of this applies to poultry. A producer can slaughter or have slaughtered up to 20,000 chickens and some large number of other poultry like turkeys, ducks, geese, etc… and sell the carcasses/meat without any inspection required.

As the repository of our state’s history, we’re inviting individuals to help document this event and share personal stories of how this is affecting them, their families, and their work, health, education and significant life events,” said Kim Jondahl, Audience Engagement & Museum Division director with the agency. The State Historical Society is seeking public answers to these questions and more: How are you staying connected to friends and family? How are you spending your days? Have employment changes affected your daily life? What have you learned about yourself, your friends, or your family, that will change the way you live moving forward? To learn more about how to contribute your stories, images, videos and more, find information at statemuseum.nd.gov/

share-your-story. After the State Historical Society reopens and it is safe to do so, the staff will also collect objects, papers, homemade masks, business signs, and other materials relevant to the crisis. “Some of the most commonly researched areas of our state archives and collections are the personal letters, diaries, photos, films, and artifacts from the past that speak volumes about the courage, fear, and community support that people experienced during challenging situations,” adds Jondahl. “This opportunity to add to North Dakota’s current story will help give future historians and students clues about how we coped, how we communicated, and even how we memed.” The State Historical Society of North Dakota collects, manages, and preserves North Dakota government public records documenting the history of our state and activities of state government. The agency also collects materials donated by private citizens that contribute to an understanding of the state’s history.

son, Helen Edwards, Darcy Goni III. New Business: a) Joint Powers Agreement i. Helen made a motion to approve the agreement as presented, Doyle seconded. Motion Carried. IV. Adjournment: Doyle made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:08 pm, 2nd by Helen the motion carried and meeting adjourned. Note: The City of Rhame per ND Century Code 40-01-09.1 is publishing these unofficial minutes subject to the governing body’s review and revision at the official May 11th, 2020 Meeting. Respectfully submitted,
and wants barricades to put up. Headley asked if it was ok for the street crew to deliver to the church and the church will put them out. People will watch from their vehicles. The Commission is okay with it as long as they are social distancing. Street crew will deliver barricades on Thursday. MCGEE: Employee COVID-19 Work Schedule: McGee presented temporary work schedules for the City employees. Shear said the refuse and street department put this work schedule into effect today. Motion by Limesand, second by Schaaf to approve the COVID-19 Pandemic temporary work schedules as presented. RCV= all aye, MC. Police Department Work Schedule: Police officers work 3 days off and 3 days on. Officer Fischer overlaps with Chief Headley, but he is out of the office doing patrol. Lynch won’t be at City Hall and Headley and Lynch will be staying out of each other’s office, they will have little or no contact while in the office. Occasionally there will be a need for backup for officers that are on patrol. They are doing a good disinfecting of everything. Cross contamination will be at a minimum. Clean up week: People are calling in wondering when cleanup week will be. Johnson is supposed to be starting soon at the landfill and the street crew has had several calls to go to the landfill. Hofland felt we could have cleanup week with weather pending. Shear says they are all in separate equipment and Johnson is at a distance from people. We wouldn’t be able to take mattresses and upholstered furniture because the Baker Landfill still isn’t taking them. The advertisement will have to state that due to COVID-19 we won’t be taking furniture and mattresses. Mcgee will talk to Hofland about dates for cleanup week and will send ad to commission for review. Water position: McGee said we could do interviews by phones, but what about training when they have to travel in separate vehicles, and when would they start. James thinks we need to do the hiring part now. Hire and give them a start date of June 1 and then if that doesn’t work for them, go to the next candidate. They will interview three candidates and go from there. Vail, James, and Mason will do interviews. James wants the interviews set for next week in the afternoon. JAMES: Main Street Flags: James asked Mason and Hofland if they could put the flags up on Main Street. They said Drew Henderson took over doing that. ALLEN: NDIRF Proxy Vote and Annual Meeting: Allen asked the Commission if they wanted to attend the annual meeting, apparently, they haven’t cancelled it due to COVID-19. None of the Commissioners wanted to go with the pandemic going on. Motion by Limesand, second by Vail to allow Allen to sign the NDIRF voting proxy. RCV= all aye, MC. ND Planning Association: Allen asked if the Commission wanted to renew the membership for the ND Planning Association. The Commission said no they didn’t want to renew it. Grant: We received grant information from Lewis and Clark Regional Development Council for a grant for upgrading or replacing water and sewage systems. Allen informed the Commission that the oil and gas funds are going to be extremely lower this year and didn’t feel there would be funds to go towards projects. Commission decided to not
apply for the grant. WDEA Meeting: Allen attended webinar last week and there will be another one with more updated projections on Thursday and she will send the information to the Commission. Shared Website Update: The BCDC office has been working on updating the website because it’s hard to work with. They are seeking the City of Bowman to put $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 toward the update. The County has agreed to put in $1,500.00. Motion by Limesand, second by Vail to hold off on approving any funds for the website until a later date. RCV= all aye, MC. CLOSE OF MEETING: Motion by Limesand, second by Schaaf to approve the bills the 3/3/20 City/County Meeting Minutes, 3/17/20 City/County Meeting Minutes, 3/17/20 City Commission Meeting Minutes, 3/20/20 Special Meeting Minutes, and 3/24/20 Special Meeting Minutes. RCV= all aye, MC. Special Meeting Advertisement: Allen asked if they wanted to continue or stop the advertisement for special meetings being held on Tuesdays. They felt we could stop the advertisement. Next Meeting: The next regular scheduled meeting will be 4/21/20. President James adjourned the meeting at 5:07 pm.
TAXPAYERS: There is no public present for discussion on their taxes. EQUALIZE AND CORRECT THE ASSESSMENT ROLL: Recommendation is to increase agricultural valuation by 3%, leave commercial valuation at 100% and residential to be left at 100%. The board feels that we should decrease residential by 3%. Motion by Shear, second by Vail to increase agriculture by 3%, leave commercial valuation at 100% and decrease residential by 3%. RCV= all aye, MC. Any taxpayer that didn’t attend today, that got a notice of increase can still come to the equalization meeting at the county and then they can go to the state to contest their valuation, and then can go to district court. Assessor Pearson wanted the Commission to be aware that the Lutheran Social Services property on the east side of town, is 3 years delinquent on their taxes. They are delinquent $85,212.58, if they come in and pay one years’ worth of taxes, they can extend it a year. It will go up for sale this fall if they don’t pay the delinquent taxes. President James adjourned the Tax Equalization meeting at 4:09 pm.
Hofland spoke to a few contractors bidding the disposal and teardown of a wind fence south of Rhame. They are going to have 30 loads of wood to take to the landfill so it would be nice to have someone there when they come so the street department does not have to keep running out there. Motion by Shear, second by Vail to open the landfill on Monday, Wednesday & Fridays and 1st and 3rd Saturday with Johnson working Monday and Wednesday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, Garbage employee on Friday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and whoever is on water well call will work from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on the 1st and 3rd Saturday. If there is a conflict with scheduling, Johnson could be the Saturday backup if he is available. RCV= all aye, MC. This will save about $7,000 and about $800 on weekends by having the well guys work. The auditors will draw up a letter to the contractors that frequent the landfill, stating that due to budget cuts the landfill has new hours. President James adjourned the meeting at 4:43 pm.

Present: Lyn James, Ryan Shear, Myron Vail, Benjamin Schaaf, Darren Limesand, Chuck Headley, Peggy Allen, Stacy McGee, Bill Mason, and Todd Hofland. President James called the meeting order at 4:12 pm. Motion by Shear, second by Schaaf to approve the agenda as presented. RCV= all aye, MC.

HOFLAND: Dept. Head Report: Hofland put up barricades east of City Hall on 1st Street NE. They will leave the barricades up until the ground water quits coming up and breaking up the pavement. If we open it up too soon, Hofland feels the asphalt will bust up. There is a soft spot by Bowman Sales Auto Care also, the street crew will have to dig it up, patch it and then durapatch it this summer. There are pylons up around the area and people will have to drive around it until it can be repaired. Tree and Water Issue on 3rd St.: Hofland received a quote for the curb and gutter replacement at 107 3rd Street SW, but the tree would have to be removed first. The street crew can take the tree down, but Waddington Boom Truck will have to grind the stump. Hofland feels we will have problems when we have a lot of rain until the curb is replaced. Allen will write a letter to the property owner regarding the removal of the tree. The Commission decided to wait on the curb and gutter replacement and maybe we can combine that with the other project we have to finish. Dumpsters: Hofland asked the Commission if he could suspend the use of clean-out rental dumpsters until COVID-19 pandemic is over. The Commission is ok with not allowing them until further notice due to the COVID-19 and Fallon County only accepting household trash. MASON: Dept. Head Report: We are having transfer pump issues, every time Mason has to move water south, this pump seems to have an issue, he is taking it to Prairie Mountain Electric to look at it and see if it can be fixed. The seal is broken out which caused water to get in the motor and fried it. He wants to get an update on the panel also. He has someone from Dakota Pump looking at the panel issue tomorrow, they build their own panels. The two chopper pumps we ordered are in Watertown and they are going to try to get up here next week with them, depending on their health and COVID-19 regulations. Getting this pump repaired is just a temporary fix, they can look at it while they are here. Prairie Mountain Electric can get the rebuild kit. Last time it was rebuilt, it cost $4,000.00. CHIEF HEADLEY: Dept. Head Report: No issues since the last meeting. Headley did have one request from Pastor Ray at the Methodist Church. He wants to have an outdoor Sunday Easter service
Lyn James President of City Commission Peggy Allen Financial Auditor _____________________________ Published in Bowman County Pioneer May 1, 2020 Minutes of the Tax Equalization Board Teleconference Meeting held on April 7, 2020 at City Hall at 3:30 PM. Commissioners, Auditor and Assessors Present: Lyn James, Darren Limesand, Ryan Shear, Myron Vail, Benjamin Schaaf, Jodi Freier, Peggy Allen and Dean Pearson. Residents: None President James called the Tax Equalization Meeting to order at 3:30 pm. Motion by Schaaf, second by Shear to approve the agenda. RCV = all aye, MC. ASSESSOR’S REPORT: All property valuations must be within 90% to 100% to be in tolerance with the state requirements. Agricultural Land: State agriculture values are at $389.45 per acre and we are at $349.16 per acre. Agriculture values are down 2% below tolerance at 88%. We must increase 2% to get to 90%, if there is an error in our calculations, the state will mandatorily change it which could jump us too high. Assessor recommends going up 3% in values for 2020. Commercial land: Commercial valuations are at 100%, values are based on 30 sales. Reappraisals may be a few years down the line. Assessors recommendation is to leave it as is. Residential: Residential values are at 100%, they are based on 30 sales. Assessors recommendation is to leave it at 100%. Commission discussed going down 3% or 4% on residential. NOTICES OF INCREASE: The tax director’s office sent out letters to residents that had a property value increase by 10% and $3,000.00 or more over the last assessment, a tax exemption expired or had an addition to their property. There hasn’t been a lot of commercial property increases. PUBLIC HEARING FOR

Absent: Darren Limesand President James called the meeting to order at 4:04 pm. Motion by Shear, second by Schaaf to approve the agenda as presented. RCV= all aye, MC. This special meeting was called to discuss the oil and gas revenue projections and the landfill opening. ALLEN: WDEA Meeting: Allen gave a report on the WDEA virtual meeting she attended and reported that the City of Bowman will receive about 50% less in expected oil revenue and will have shortages in other areas of the General Fund due to COVID-19. President James asked the Commissioners to take time to look at their department budget with their superintendents and look for the most meaningful cuts. The Commission wanted the department heads on notice of the situation, put a hold on purchases that can be put off, and once this social distancing is lifted, then we can sit down and talk it out. LANDFILL: Due to the expected revenue shortfall, and the opening of the landfill, the Commission decided to shorten the hours the landfill is open and have some of the hours be covered by employees of different departments with their wages being taken out of their respective department. Hofland suggested we could save money by only doing one cleanup week. James said we could do the spring one and reevaluate doing one in the fall.

The Bowman County Pioneer
NDSU Extension Agent, Keeping May Day traditions alive during Grand Forks County social distancing By Carrie Knutson
We are all anxious to get outside and work in our gardens after a long winter season. North Dakota State University Extension is starting a column to help you grow a bountiful garden and a beautiful landscape. We will share information each week that is based on scientific research and targeted for North Dakotans. This week, we start with the foundation of your garden, the soil. I would argue that soil is the most important part of your garden, not the vegetable plants. A healthy soil is the key to a garden that produces a plentiful harvest. Your first step is to make sure the soil is dry enough to cultivate. Working the soil when it is too wet can destroy the soil structure, resulting in soils that are hard and have poor water drainage and aeration. You have an easy way to tell if your garden soil is ready to be worked. Take soil from two to three inches deep in your garden in your hand and gently squeeze it into a ball. If the ball falls apart, the soil is ready to be worked. If not, the soil will need some more drying time before it can be worked. Once your soil is dry enough to work, the next step is to add organic matter such as compost or peat moss. The addition of organic matter improves soil structure as well as water and nutrient-holding abilities. Organic matter is the best amendment for any soil situa-
tion. Organic matter can be added in the fall or spring on top of the existing garden soil about two to three inches deep before working the soil. The last step is the addition of fertilizer. The typical fertilizer nutrients that plants need are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). The only way to know for sure what your soil needs is to run a soil test on your garden. The NDSU Soil Testing Lab offers soil testing for homeowners. For $19.50 plus postage, the lab will test the amount of N, P, K, pH, soluble salts and organic matter. Lab personnel then will provide customized recommendations for your site. The test is well worth the cost, especially if you save yourself the fertilizer expense. Soil tests can be run every year or every few years, depending on your gardening style. Local Extension offices have soil testing bags, directions and information sheets for gardeners, or go online at https://www.ndsu.edu/ snrs/services/soil_testing_lab. If you don’t have time to complete a soil test before planting, the general recommendation is to add 1 pound of an all-purpose fertilizer such as 10-10-10 per 100 square feet of garden or add smaller amounts of nitrogen a couple of times during the growing season. Incorporate the fertilizer by tilling or raking it into the soil. When you are ready to plant, prepare the seedbed by leveling
the soil with the back of a heavy rake to break up any large pieces of soil. Something to think about during the summer is moving toward no-till or reduced-till gardening. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service encourages building soil health by keeping the soil covered as much as possible and disturbing the soil as little as possible, keeping plants growing throughout the year to feed soil, and diversifying plant material through crop rotation. Start this fall by placing a thick layer of mulch, compost, grass clippings, leaves or similar organic matter in a layer about six to eight inches deep over your garden soil. Let the organic matter sit during the winter. When the garden is ready to plant next spring, move the mulch to the side and use a hoe to dig the furrow for seeds or a hand trowel to dig the holes for transplants. When the seedlings have emerged and the plants are growing, move the mulch or add mulch closer to the plants but not touching the stems. Enjoy the reduced weed competition and healthier soil. For more information, contact your local NDSU Extension agent. Find the Extension office for your county at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/extension/directory/counties.

According to the History Channel, The Celts of The British Isles originally celebrated the festival of Beltane on May 1. This May Day festival was thought to divide the light from the darkness. To celebrate, they set big bonfires, herded livestock, and decorated them with yellow May flowers. Rather than a May pole, they tied ribbons to a large oak. Ancient Celts danced around it and prayed for good crops. When the Romans invaded the British Isles, they brought with them the five day celebration known as Floralia in which they honored the Roman goddess of flowers. These two rituals were eventually combined resulting in crowning an annual May King and Queen and filling homemade baskets with flowers and leaving them on the door of your sweetheart. Tradition holds that if they catch you, they get to kiss you. Though less well known in the United States than in Europe, many school children still celebrate May Day by filling baskets with flowers and goodies and leaving them on peoples porches. In 1920 some courageous young chil-
dren even left a May Day basket on the porch of the White House for the then First Lady Grace Coolidge. This spring has been unique in many ways. Because of social distancing, it’s not possible to put up a May pole and gather to celebrate. It’s not advisable to go to a neighbors with cookies and flowers, so the question then remains, how do we celebrate May Day during social distancing? Here are a few suggestions to help welcome in spring in North Dakota while maintaining a safe distance. You may wish to plant flowers in your yard to welcome springtime, or you could hang a basket of flowers on your mailbox or on your property to spread cheer. You might consider sending May Day cards or emails to friends and loved ones as many are experiencing loneliness at this time. You might also choose to support your local businesses by ordering take out and enjoying it in your home or on your patio. While we are asked to remain separate, there are still numerous ways we can still celebrate May Day and the beginning of spring.
Amendment makes economic injury disaster loans available to agriculture BISMARCK, N.D. - Congress has passed an amendment to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that enables agricultural businesses with 500 or fewer employees to participate in the Small Business Administration’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program. The bill includes an additional $60 billion for the EIDL program. “Despite economic setbacks, our farmers and ranchers are continuing to produce food and feed during this health crisis,� Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Allowing small
agricultural businesses to access EIDL grants and loans is one way to help support them and sustain their businesses.� The EIDL program will provide low-interest loans and $10,000 emergency grants administered by SBA. Ag businesses will need to show they have been affected by the economic downturn caused by COVID-19. Agriculture businesses should go to the SBA website at https:// www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/economic-injury-disaster-loan-emergency-advance
