Virus reaction brings new reality
STAFF REPORT
A
closure by Gov. Doug Burgum's executive order has students, teachers and staff at Bowman Public School still scrambling to keep up with the schoolwork. According to a letter sent out to parents earlier in March, the district schools are following the guidance and recommendations from the North Dakota Department of Health, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and the Centers for Disease Control regarding the Coronavirus pandemic. In the letter, it provided a series of suggestions to guard against the virus, including washing hands for 20 seconds under clean running water to prevent the spread of germs. Other suggestions included staying home if you are sick, avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth, cover coughs and sneezes and clean or disinfect surfaces and objects.

ing on income and age.

Taxpayers may also e-file by purchasing tax preparation software, by working with a tax professional, or by using the Office of State Tax Commissioner’s standalone free ND Fillable Forms option (for ND return only).

he North Dakota High School Activities Board of Directors met on March 20 via conference call for a special meeting regarding the current suspension of 2020 NDHSAA Winter Postseason Basketball Tournaments, Spring Sports and Spring Fine Arts Contests. The Board voted to re-assess the current suspensions of Winter Postseason Basketball Tournaments and Spring Fine Arts Contests at their next regularly scheduled meeting on March 31. All sports and activities, including practices, are suspended until at least Monday, April 6th. The Board approved guidelines for coaches and advisors to use during the suspension. Link to approved guidelines for coaches and advisors to use during the suspension: https://bit.ly/ susp-act-practice The Board also took the following action: 1.The waiver of all fines regarding Coaching permits, Online Rules Clinics, Online Rules Tests and NDHSAA Website Requirements for Spring Sports (Picture, Roster, Cutline and Schedules). 2.The Cancellation of the Class B District Chair Meeting, Basket-
ball and Softball Officials Workshops, the NDOA Board of Directors Meeting, the Class B Parade of Champions, and the Class A and B Academic All-State Recognition Ceremony. The following provides further clarification on what is allowed within spring activity participation limitations for North Dakota High School Activities Association member schools following the Emergency Executive Order 202006 issued by Governor Burgum. Effective until at least April 6, 2020 the following direction is provided for NDHSAA member schools: Coaches and Directors May Not: •Have in-person contact with participants. •Require or suggest groups of participants to gather. •Suggest or support “captain’s practices”or “open gyms.” •Provide evaluations or feedback on participants’ performance.(i.e. require participants to submit video of a skill or performance) •Require participants to take part in individual workouts or skills training, etc. (i.e. journaling, reporting of time spent, submission of results) •Place undue influ-
ence on participants to take part in any individual workouts or skills training. Coaches and Directors May: •Connect with participants via technology (i.e. email or other school-approved communication tools). •Provide optional individual workouts or optional individual skills training via electronic communication. •Connect with and support participants who are challenged by the changes in their routines and life due to changes caused by COVID-19 limitations and restrictions. Coaches and Directors Must: •Include the Activities Administrator on all communication to participants. School administration at their discretion, may place more restrictive limitations on practice and participation. As COVID-19 is rapidly evolving, the NDHSAA will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as necessary. Spring sports are officially in season. Therefore, all NDHSAA regulations and By-Laws and local school policies surrounding participation are in effect.

North Dakota Game and Fish Report Elk, Moose, Bighorn Sheep Apps due March 25 N o r t h D a k o t a n ’s who want a chance to hunt elk, moose and bighorn sheep in 2020 are reminded the deadline for submitting applications is March 25. Applicants can apply online at the North Dakota Game and Fish Departm e n t ’s w e b s i t e , g f . n d . g o v. G e n e r a l lottery applications can also be submitted by calling 800406-6409. Preferential landowner (gratis) applications must be submitted online. The status of the bighorn sheep season will be determined Sept. 1, after summer population surveys are completed. H o w e v e r, b i g h o r n sheep applications must be submitted before the deadline. Once total licenses are determined for each unit i n l a t e s u m m e r, t h e bighorn lottery will then be held and successful applicants will be contacted to select a hunting unit. Elk, moose and bighorn sheep lottery licenses are issued as once-ina-lifetime licenses in North Dakota. Hunters who have received a license through the lottery in the past are not eligible to apply for that species again. Whooping Crane Migration Whooping cranes are in the midst of their spring migration and sightings will increase as they make their way into and through North Dakota over the next several weeks. Anyone seeing these endangered birds as they move through the state
is asked to report sightings so the birds can be tracked. The whooping cranes that do make their way through North Dakota each spring are part of a population of about 500 birds that are on their way from their wintering grounds at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge i n Te x a s t o t h e i r nesting grounds at Wo o d B u ff a l o N a tional Park in Canada, a distance of about 2,500 miles. Whoopers stand about five feet tall and have a wingspan of about seven feet from tip to tip. They 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 mig r a t e s i n g l y, o r i n groups of 2-3 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 f r o m b e l o w. Anyone sighting whoopers should not disturb them, but record the date, time, location, and the birds' a c t i v i t y. O b s e r v e r s 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 ident i t y. Whooping crane sightings should be reported to U.S. Fish and Wildlife S e r v i c e o ff i c e s a t Lostwood, 701848-2466, or Audubon, 701-4425474, national wildlife refuges; the North Dakota 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.
