4k barrels source water leaks in Bowman County N.D. Dept. of Health calls number of recent leaks ‘a concern’ By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

Remediation plans are currently underway for a spill of almost 126,000 gallons, or 4,000 barrels, of source water in Bowman County. The spill, reported on Tuesday to the North Dakota Department of

Health, is the largest source water spill to occur in the last two years within the region. The spill occurred from a leaking pipeline owned by Denbury Onshore LLC, located about nine miles southwest of Rhame. Despite the large amount of water released, Bill Suess of the Spill Investigation Program with the Department of Health told The Pioneer on Wednesday that there is no cause for alarm since the released fluids entered a dry creek bed. Suess explained that the water released, which is water higher in chloride, has been producing readings of around 400 parts per million in the contaminated soil, which is

far less than its typical readings of 700 to 1,000 parts per million. “The slightly elevated chloride levels are above that ground, but we’re not talking produced water levels,” Suess said. “It’s elevated, but it’s not really bad.” Alternatively, produced water has chloride levels from 10,000 to 130,000 parts per million. “Produced water is salty enough that if you drank it, it could potentially kill you,” he said. “This stuff won’t.” A similar spill of source water occurred late last year at a different Denbury line in the area.

IN BUSINESS

Inkd Apparel by Sarah helps keep apparel printing businesses local By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

After Dale’s Clothing closed its doors on Main Street last month, there was concern on what would become of the successful screenprinting and embroidery businesses it built over the years. That concern was short-lived, however, after a Bowman woman saw an opportunity to expand upon her love for design and purchased the businesses. “I was ready for a bigger scale,” said Sarah Wolbaum, who owns and operates Inkd Apparel by Sarah out of her Bowman County home. “I love design and being around people.” Wolbaum has been busy ever since transforming a space tucked away in her basement to house a studio where she will complete most of the design and printing work.

of her main focuses. Another focus is providing high quality merchandise. “Excellent customer service is important,” she said, which she strives for much like Dave and Tana Smolnikar did while they ran Dale’s Clothing. A great amount of dedication and determination has been put into Inkd Apparel, with Wolbaum going as far as leaving her position as activities director at the Southwest Healthcare Long-Term Care, a job she held for 10 years. Her last day is at the end of August. “I didn’t feel I could do both jobs effectively,” Wolbaum explained. So it was decided that the apparel business would become her fulltime job, with a lot to keep her preoccupied. One of the biggest clients for Dale’s was Bowman County

IN BRIEF

Cloud seeding Week 9 update A more typical early August weather pattern was experienced last week in southwestern North Dakota. Daytime highs remained in the 80s to lower 90s with isolated thunderstorms. In the District 1 operations area of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP), which includes Bowman and part of Slope Counties, aircraft conducted a hail suppression flight on August 1 and reconnaissance flights on August 2 and 7. A total of three flights were flown by the two project aircraft. Thunderstorms are likely over southwestern North Dakota during the early to middle part of this week associated with an upper level trough. By late in the week, an upper level ridge builds into the region with drier conditions reestablishing themselves. High temperatures should remain in the 80s to lower 90s.

Assessment of oil development in North Dakota Badlands, Little Missouri River Valley Covenant Consulting Group has released a stakeholder assessment that was conducted to learn how North Dakotans from various sectors perceive oil development in the Badlands and how they feel it should progress in the future. Stakeholders included North Dakotans from the ranching, oil and gas, conservation, and government sectors. The stakeholder assessment revealed widespread support for protection of surface assets in the Badlands as well as throughout North Dakota. The assessment was not developed as an attempt to stop or hinder oil development in North Dakota. Rather, the specific goals of the assessment were to understand stakeholder perceptions of oil development in the Badlands, and use the results to create strategies for how best to develop mineral resources with responsible stewardship of the Badlands. “The common issue of the respondents was protecting and reclaiming the surface; which helps ranching and wildlife,” said Rod Backman of Covenant Consulting Group.

NDDOT alerts residents of telephone consumer fraud scam The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is alerting North Dakota residents about fraudulent telephone calls claiming to be from representatives of the Motor Vehicle Division. Residents have reported receiving telephone calls that their registrations are overdue followed by instructions on how to make a payment. The NDDOT does NOT make this type of phone call about Motor Vehicle registrations. This is a scam, designed to trick the recipient into giving out information and payment to a scam artist. The NDDOT urges North Dakotans to hang up on this type of phone calls. Residents who have questions about their vehicle registrations or these calls should contact the NDDOT at (701) 328-2725 or email their questions to the NDDOT email address: mv@nd.gov General information about common consumer scams is available on the Attorney General’s website, at http:// www.ag.nd.gov/CPAT/CommonScams.htm.

Governor directs agencies to find additional savings Legislative Leaders advance plan to resolve budget shortfall

Gov. Jack Dalrymple directed the state’s General Fund agencies to reduce their 2015-2017 budgets by an additional 2.5 percent to help offset a projected $310 million budget shortfall. The Governor’s use of the allotment process last week is part of an integrated plan developed in partnership with majority legislative leaders to balance the state General Fund through a combination of strategic budget reductions and the use of contingency funds. While the allotment process begins with across-theboard budget reductions in all General Fund agencies, legislation developed by the Governor and majority leaders calls for the Legis-

of Corrections and Rehabilitation, leaving the agency to reduce its budget by one percent. The Governor’s directive for an additional 2.5 percent reduction in General Fund spending will reduce the budget shortfall by $152 million, less the funding restorations for Human Services and Corrections. To cover the remaining shortfall, the legislative plan to be introduced Tuesday also assumes the transfer of $75 million remaining in the Budget Stabilization Fund and access to $100 million in accumulated profits from the Bank of North Dakota. The bill also contains a statement of legislative intent that if additional revenues become available prior to the next regular session, the 65th Legislative Assembly should consider early in the regular session the restoration of funds that support behavioral health services,

autism and long-term care. In February, Gov. Dalrymple implemented a 4.05 percent allotment of General Fund appropriations to help offset what was then projected to be about a $1 billion shortfall. The Governor also committed the Budget Stabilization Fund to cover the projected shortfall. Since then, depressed market prices for crude oil and agricultural commodities have continued to stifle state revenue collections, especially sales tax receipts in Western North Dakota. A revised revenue forecast issued in July projected that, without further corrective action, the General Fund would fall $310 million short by the end of the biennium. Gov. Dalrymple on July 13 called for a special legislative session and began working with legislative leaders to develop the integrated budget plan outlined.

Despite the large amount of water released from that incident, Suess said at the time that only a small amount of the water escaped off the well’s pad. Of the nearly 213 barrels, only 33 barrels leaked offsite and the water did not reach any nearby water sources.

Suess indicated there is some concern, however, with the amount of leaks from Denbury’s lines in Bowman County. They are older, steel lines, according to Suess. “Anytime you’re running anything with chlorides in it through steel lines, you’re looking at the potential for corrosion,” he said. “There’s some concern there because we’re starting to see a number of leaks from it.” It would likely be brought

up for discussion for Denbury to replace the aging lines, but, as Suess indicated, he is unsure right now of what their plans entail. Source water differs from fresh groundwater in that its sodium content is slightly higher. Source water is also far less full of contaminants than produced water, which contains chemicals from oil wells and can greatly affect nearby stock ponds, naturally occurring water sources or land.

Dalrymple on Tuesday will outline the budget plan during his address to the North Dakota Legislative Assembly, which will be convened in a special session. The allotment process authorizes Gov. Dalrymple to access the Foundation Aid Stabilization Fund. The budget plan assumes a draw of about $44.3 million from the Foundation Aid Stabilization Fund to help resolve the budget shortfall without any reductions in K-12 school funding. The legislation excludes the Department of Human Services from the allotment by restoring $33 million in Human Services funding. Additionally, the Legislature is expected to restore about $3 million in essential funding to the Department

State rodeo queen title returns to Amidon A

midon is once again home to a state title holding rodeo queen. In May, Elli Rettinger competed in the North Dakota Junior High Rodeo Queen pageant at the Junior High Rodeo Finals in Bismarck, bringing the crown to Slope County. Elli is the 13-year-old daughter of Perry and Brenda Rettinger. In addition to her rodeo queen title, she also competes in barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, goat tying, team roping and ribbon roping. Rettinger qualified for the NDJHRD state finals in all 6 of these events, making the short go in breakaway and goats.

Since gaining her title, Elli has made several appearances at area events, promoting the sport of rodeo. She served as the Master of Ceremonies at the ND High School Rodeo Queen contest in Bowman, and carried flags at each of the performances there. She attended Mandan Rodeo Days, where she raced a fancy black and white paint horse, owned by the rodeo contractor, through the arena carrying sponsorship flags at each of the PRCA rodeo performances over the Independence Day weekend. She rode the same high-spirited horse in the Mandan Parade, carrying a flag over the 4 mile parade route.

As the NDJHRD Queen, Elli’s job is to promote the sport of rodeo and educate the public about the sport and its history. Elli most enjoys the close knit family that rodeo has created. Although she and her friends compete for the win, they are always ready to help and encourage each other, too. Junior High and High School rodeos have both a fall and a spring season before their respective finals in May and June. The top four contestants in each event earn the honor of representing North Dakota at the National competitions every summer. The 2016-2017 Junior High Division fall rodeo season kicks off on Aug. 13 in Ray.

What do you picture when you hear ‘harmful algeal bloom’? You may recall that in 2014, an algal bloom on Lake Erie resulted in the City of Toledo, Ohio, shutting down its drinking water intake. The city announced via Facebook that its tap water was too poisonous to drink. This past summer,

closer to home in northeast North Dakota, Homme Dam in Walsh County had a wellpublicized algal bloom that concerned recreationalists. What do you picture in your mind when you hear algal bloom -- more specifically ‘Harmful Algal Bloom’? It

is safe to say you do not picture roses and daisies. Harmful Algal Blooms A harmful algal bloom (HAB) is not only uninviting but also potentially harmful. Typically, a HAB is an overgrowth of, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in surface water. Cyanobacteria are microscopic organisms found in all types of water. They are more like bacteria than plants, but because they live in water and use sunlight to create food (photosynthesis) they are often called ‘blue-green algae.’ Cyanobacteria are important to freshwater ecosystems because they make oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, and they are a food source for other organisms. The Harmful in HABs Under certain environmental conditions, cyanobacteria can multiply quick-

overnight. Nutrients must be removed mechanically and/or allowed to be reduced naturally through internal cycling, while limiting the sources of nutrients in the watershed. Several North Dakota lakes have hypolimnetic drawdown systems that remove nutrientrich water from the bottom of the lake. These systems can be effective at removing nutrients, but they do not address the nutrient sources.

Warning signs posted at Homme Dam in 2015. (Photo courtesy Mike Ell) ly and form a bloom. Some species of cyanobacteria produce cyanotoxins that are released when the cells die and rupture. The toxins can cause harm to people, wildlife, livestock, pets and aquatic life. Almost every year in North Dakota, a few cases of pet and livestock deaths occur due to drinking water with HABs. Additional effects of HABs include: ● Blocking sunlight needed for other aquatic organisms ● Raising treatment costs for public water supply systems and industries ● Depleting dissolved oxygen as the algae dies off, resulting in fish kills Specific human health effects are: ● Allergic-like reactions

● Skin rashes ● Eye irritation ● Gastroenteritis ● Respiratory irritation ● Neurological effects What Causes HABs? ● Excess nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) ● Warm water temperatures ● Slow-moving water ● Sunlight The major source of food for algae is nutrients that enter North Dakota lakes from: ● Fertilizers (fields and yards) ● Livestock and pet waste ● Septic systems A Long-term Problem Once a waterbody has an excess of nutrients, the problem cannot be fixed

What Can You Do? Everyone plays a part in feeding the algae, from how you fertilize your lawn to the timing of fertilizing a 160-acre field, to whether or not you pick up your pet’s waste, to the proper management of livestock waste. Tips to reduce nutrients from entering runoff to our surface waters: ● Sample the soil in your yard before you fertilize. ● Leave your grass clippings on the lawn—they give nitrogen back to the lawn. ● If you do need to fertilize, use only the recommended amount of product, and keep it off sidewalks and other hard surfaces ● Use field soil samples to calculate a nutrient budget for your crops. ● Complete a comprehensive nutrient management plan for your farm. ● Sample manure before applying it to the soil to ensure it is applied at the correct agronomic rate. By limiting the nutrient sources in a watershed, we all can help prevent the growth of algae in our lakes.

Spotlight on Economics: Monetary policy and exchange rates By ROBERT HERREN NDSU

Because most agricultural markets are global, changes in a nation’s exchange rate will affect the profitability of many agricultural sectors. For example, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar (stronger dollar) will increase the price of U.S. exports of currently produced agricultural goods. A depreciation of the U.S. dollar (weaker dollar) will decrease the price of U.S. exports in world markets. Since the early 1970s, the U.S. has allowed it currency to float so that demand and supply in the foreign exchange market determines the dollar’s value. Each day, the foreign exchange market handles more than $5 trillion of transactions. More than 99 percent of these transactions involve buying and selling assets, mostly financial assets such as bonds and equities. Risk is one factor that affects supply and demand in the foreign exchange market; most investors

Let’s talk bathrooms

When you use bathrooms other than the one in your own home, you notice things. The layout, the stall design, the smell, whether or not your shoes stick to the floor, and so forth and so on. Outhouses, chamber pots (I could never bring myself to use the one Grandma kept under the guest bed By LORI SOLA upstairs), porta potties, wide open spaces, field rows, small Bowman County Pioneer bathrooms, large bathrooms with lounges. No matter how lackluster or fancy, they all provide the same purpose. C’mon. Step inside with me. Say you push the stall door inward to the right. Have you ever noticed, ladies (not sure if the men’s have the same setup), that most of the time the big toilet paper roll dispenser is immediately on the left creating an obstacle for you to maneuver around? But as you know, there isn’t much room to meander in the stall as the toilet is right there dead center. Sometimes it feels like you have to do the two-step to just get in far enough to turn around and close the door; in rare instances the space is so tight the door literally smacks the bowl. Then try doing this procedure with a small child. Yah. I just remember hoping he didn’t take a nose dive into the bowl before I could close the door. A quick look around and you sigh when you realize there is no hook for your purse and no tank on the back of the toilet. Just the dirty floor with who knows what on the surface. You can hold your bag or take your chances by placing it on the floor. But remember to put it close enough to you so no one can grab it from the neighboring stall. This reminds me, I really need to wash my purse. You know what’s next, don’t you? Toilet paper. I seriously think there’s a competition among toilet paper companies to see who can manufacture the thinnest, scratchiest, cheapest paper possible. I mean, seriously. Two-ply paper was invented in 1942, but oftentimes the stuff in the dispenser disintegrates quickly. Operating bathroom utilities can be as frustrating as figuring out gas pumps. If the stall has auto flush, sometimes it activates too quickly and gives you a little shower. Let’s just hope that’s not in the same facility who provides the disintegrating paper, if you know what I mean. How about soap dispensers? I just found myself trying to use a hand-pump soap to realize it was empty because there was a hands-free soap dispensers on the wall. Faucets are interesting, too. Auto? Regular? If you have to push it down for water, will the flow last long enough to completely wash your hands? Then the paper towel dispenser. If everything else is automatic, you’d assume this would be too, right? So there I was waving in front; waving below; to discover I needed to turn the knob on the side. Or there’s the hand dryers that are so powerful your skin has as many waves in it as the ocean! (My son steered clear of these for years.) I’ll refrain myself from discussing who should or should not use which bathroom, but let’s just say I’ve visited plenty of bathrooms that the stall walls go from floor to ceiling and the only openings are just above and below the door. I will, however, leave you with this tidbit. A friend of mine recently visited Japan. One of the first pictures he shared was of a bathroom sign stating “do not stand on toilet seat” Yes, dayeven someprovided 900,000 an barrels of oil are(Apparently, andevery the sign illustration. in some by countries the toilet9,000-plus is flush with the That’s floor and you produced North Dakota’s wells. squat over them.) He further noted, “…the lady more than Alaska, more than California, and more that cleans theOklahoma. public bathroom wanders in amongst than It’s a figure surpassed by theeveryone number that is the on urinals and goes to work.” Estimates are ofusing eyeballs our state’s newspapers.

And if you have a column to write, you usually can find something forwarded to you by a friend that will fit. For instance: We have this neighbor who happens to be a minister. Now, I’m not sure what nationality he is. I would guess Lutheran or Catholic. And he has been worrying about his son. Maybe that is a clue that he is not Catholic! Anyway, his son is getting along in his teen years and he had never indicated what he wanted to do with his life. Dad was getting worried so he devised a little test.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he popped the cork on the bottle, took a swig, stuck the money in his pocket, and began reading the Bible out loud! The minister was taken aback, “Heaven forbid! He’s going to become a politician!” That reminds me. The bike rally at Sturgis is coming up. Shirley and I haven’t been able to attend for a number of years. You remember when we took the Super 90 down there. I mentioned it in an article a few years ago. She swore she would never go back. Well, it just happens that a bunch of friends and I have formed a gang. I mean it! An honest to goodness motorcycle gang. Well, we don’t have by-laws and stuff. I don’t think most gangs do. But some of them already have hogs. That’s what we call motorcycles. Some are

looking for motorcycle mamas. And we are shaving are heads, buying black vests, putting on fake tattoos, and gluing hair on our chests. I bought one of those trucker billfolds with a chain on it. I put on my shotgun chaps, my vest, and my bandana to model for Shirley last night. When she started laughing I felt just like Jackie Gleason used to, “One of these days Alice!” I might just leave her home and pick up a hippie on the way to the rally. If she isn’t bothered by the training wheels.

things in his son’s room. A Bible. A bottle of whiskey. And a ten dollar bill. Padre’s plan was to peek through a crack in the door and see which would attract his son’s interest. If he picked up the Bible and began reading, he would follow in his father’s footsteps and become a man of the cloth. If the cash bribe seemed to attract the most interest, he would become a successful businessman. That would be great. But if he was attracted to the whiskey, he would become a slovenly drunk who played pinochle, golfed, and wagered on the outcome of various sporting events. That evening when Son came home from school, as usual he headed right up to his room. Father snuck up the stairs and peered through a little crack in the door. The boy walked over to the table.

N.D. Game and Fish addition to late summer fishing. And for those who remember a regular waterfowl season with a daily Canada goose limit of one or two, the early Canada goose season opening Aug. 15 is a welcome opportunity for some hunters who don’t want to wait for the opening of dove season on Sept. 1 or archery deer on Friday, Sept. 2. The first early Canada goose season was held in 1999 as a regional effort to help reduce resident Canada goose numbers in North Dakota. Season dates covered the first few weeks of September so most of the harvest took place before other subspecies of Canada geese started to migrate into the state from Canada. At first, only a couple of counties in southeastern North Dakota were part of the early season, but the open area expanded to the

entire state the next year. For the past several years, Aug. 15 has become somewhat of the standard early goose opener, though lack of harvested crops for field hunting in some years can limit hunter interest, as can abundant mosquitoes and late summer heat that are typically not issues on chilled October mornings. But still, the opportunity is there for hunters who are willing to take on the elements. Because U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Canada goose hunting frameworks limit the number of hunting days available after Sept. 1, extending the season into August using a special “management take” was one viable option for directing more hunter harvest toward the giant Canada goose population management equation. Judging by the amount of small grain harvest activity underway already in parts of the state, this looks to be one of those years when a fair amount of grain stubble will be available right off the bat for field hunting. After the season opens Aug. 15, it continues through Sept. 15, except in the Missouri River Zone where the early season ends Sept. 7. The early Canada goose season has a

limit of 15 daily and 45 in possession. Limits and shooting hours for the early season are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset daily, which is different than shooting hours on most days during the regular goose season. Residents need a $5 early Canada goose license and a general game and habitat license. Also, residents age 16 and older need a small game license. Nonresidents need only a $50 early Canada goose license, and the license is valid statewide without counting against the 14-day regular season license. Starting Sept. 1, hunters age 16 and older will need a federal duck stamp in addition to their necessary state licenses. Harvest Information Program or HIP numbers used during spring for snow goose hunting in North Dakota are valid for this fall in North Dakota. Hunting geese in August and early September isn’t necessarily for everyone, but a lot of waterfowl hunters are sure starting to look forward to it, and it’s now becoming part of the state’s “fall” tradition. Doug Leier is an outreach biologist with the North Dakota Department of Game and Fish.

OBITUARIES

Arlo K. Vesey, 10 Funeral Services for Arlo were on Monday, Aug. 8, 2016 at 1 p.m. at the Medora Community Center in Medora. Pastor Galen Strand officiated with burial to take place on the Vesey Ranch. Visitation for Arlo was from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016 at the Krebsbach Funeral Home Chapel in Bowman. Arlo Kenneth Vesey was born in Dickinson on June 26, 2006, and left this earth Aug. 2, 2016, while doing what he loved, working on the ranch. He will spend eternity ranching in greener pastures mounted on his favorite horse Whiskey, with his favorite dog Flower by his side. Arlo spent his entire life on the family ranch in Billings County and would have been a fifth grader at Prairie

Elementary in Fairfield in a few weeks. Arlo was interested in everything and was busy chasing his dreams and learning new things every day. Arlo knew someone everywhere he went and was also ready for a practical joke, wrestling match, football game, or just conversation. In his short life, Arlo graduated from a toddler’s obsession with dinosaurs to a young man’s drive to be the best at everything he did. He loved to read, build Legos, shoot his bow and gun, ride horse, weld, and work on the ranch. He made many friends showing livestock in 4-H and found a fit for his gift of gab in livestock judging. He mastered the art of raking hay over the summer and got his first turn at baling before his death. He liked nothing better than spending the day fencing with his heroes Seth Obritsch and Wyatt Fulton. He

crossed one final item off of his list with a helicopter ride in his final hours. Arlo is leaves behind his parents Joe and Emily (Lambourn) Vesey, sister Morgan, and brother Ian at the ranch. He is also survived by grandparents Roger and Darlene Vesey and Larry and Jackie Lambourn; great grandparents Ken and Phyllis Vesey, Frances Snyder, and Lil Richter; aunts and uncles Kyle and Peggy Bauer, Matt and Nicole Lambourn, and Pam and Les Jacobs; and cousins Ally and Alexis Bauer, Bailey McLaughlin, Mason and Jake Lambourn, Beau Lambourn, and Shayla, Piper, and Aspen Jacobs; honorary grandparents, Bill and Lana Obrien; as well as numerous extended family, friends, classmates, and a loving community. He joins great grandparents Wes Snyder, Burke and Myrtle Lambourn, and Silas and Christine Vooge; and uncle Andy Lambourn for

eternity. Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Services was in charge of the arrangements.

At a young age she started spending summers in Bowman and after graduating from Gardner-South Wilmington High School she moved to Bowman, hoping to make it her home. She captured the heart of local boy, Robert “Dooley”

Bingham and they were married there in August 22nd, 1953. For the next 23 years they lived in Gardner, Ill., where she worked for the United States Arsenal in Joliet, Ill. Carolyn returned to Bowman in 1977 and worked at the Dakota Western Bank. Carolyn enjoyed bowling, playing cards and telling her daughters how to dress and wear their hair. She was a member of the St. Charles Catholic Church and Catholic Daughters. She is survived by daughters Peg Njos (Larry) of Rhame and Patti Bingham of Seattle, grandsons Royce ( Jackie) Njos of Red Lodge, Mont., and Ryan (Nicole) Njos, great grandchildren, Peyton, Owen, Miles and Ian Njos. She is preceded in death by her parents, Vincent and Antonetta Berta, her husband, Dooley Bingham, sister Wanda Stebbins and brothers Wayne and Karl.

Pastor’s Corner

Standing where the fire has been

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Pioneer is pleased to announce the beginning of a weekly religion column penned each week by one of the many parish leaders from around Bowman County. Stay tuned each week for a new voice from our large religious community. Five-year-old Johnny was in the kitchen and his mother asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She said, “It’s OK--Jesus will be in there with you.” Johnny walked hesitantly to the door and slowly opened it. He peeked inside, saw it was dark, and started to leave when all at once an idea came, and he said:

the U.S. dollar to appreciate. For example, during the fall and winter of 2014, the dollar became stronger after Russia invaded Ukraine, thereby sending investors (including many within Russia) scurrying to buy assets perceived to be safe. More recently, Brexit (Great Britain’s vote to leave the European Union) caused an influx of funds into U.S. financial assets, resulting in a stronger dollar relative to the British pound. Monetary policy affects the expected return of domestic assets relative to the expected return of foreign assets by changing interest rates. When the Federal Reserve raises its target for the federal funds rate, thereby increasing short-term interest rates, domestic assets become more attractive to investors. During 2015, investors perceived that improving labor markets ultimately would result in the Fed raising its target for the federal funds rate, thereby increasing demand for U.S. assets, particularly because the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank were lowering interest rates. After the Fed increased its target for the federal funds rate by .25 percent in December 2015, most investors thought the Fed would increase rates several more times in 2016. However, their perceptions changed in early 2016 because of instability and weakness in several foreign economies, including China. Some investors now sold U.S. assets and,

“Jesus, if you’re in there, would you hand me that can of tomato soup?” Have you ever been apprehensive, or awakened from a night’s sleep feeling, anxious or fearful? If you have you’re not alone. Life is full of uncertainties. Fear can be paralyzing and even make you not want to get out of bed in the morning. With Job we might cry, “For sighing comes to me

instead of food; my groans pour out like water” ( Job 3:24). Jesus said of the days just prior to His coming, “Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world...” (Luke 21:26). Indeed a terrible storm is coming upon this world (Dan. 12:1; Matt. 24:21-31). How can we be prepared to meet it? By getting to know and trust the Savior ( Jn. 17:3; 14:1). Years ago some settlers were making their way across one of the central states to a distant place that had been opened up for homesteading. They traveled in covered wagons drawn by oxen, and progress was necessarily slow. One day they saw a long line of smoke in the west, stretching for miles across the prairie. The dry

on average, the dollar depreciated from late January until the Brexit vote. In a fixed exchange rate system (such as a gold standard), the single goal of monetary policy is to maintain the fixed exchange rate. In the current floating exchange rate system, monetary policy focuses on domestic economic conditions. Congress has given the Fed a dual mandate: price stabil-

ity and maximum employment. To achieve these goals, the Fed may conduct monetary policy that results in fluctuations in the exchange rate. Thus, monetary policy contributes to the currency risk faced by agricultural producers and agribusinesses. Herren is a professor of Economics NDSU Agribusiness and Applied Economics Department.

grass was burning fiercely and coming toward them rapidly. Only one of the men seemed to know what could be done. He gave the command to set fire to the grass behind them. Then when a space was burned over, the whole company moved back on it. As the flames roared on toward them from the west, a little girl cried out in terror, “Are you sure we shall not all be burned up?” The leader replied, “My child, the flames cannot reach us here, because we are standing where the fire has been!” Mercifully, the fires of the wrath of God’s judgment against us (Rev. 14:10) have burned themselves out on Jesus (Matthew 27:27-31). His friends are safe from that fire storm ( Jn. 15:15, Ps. 23; 91). Why? Because,

Two Post 115 players make All-Region teams By COLE BENZ

Bowman County Pioneer

After a stellar season, two Hettinger/Scranton legion baseball players made the All-Region teams for the West Region. Brandon Pierce was voted onto the All-Region 1st Team, and Hudson Pierce was voted onto the All-Region 2nd Team. Head coach Nolan Dix said he was kind of surprised that Hudson didn’t make it on the first team. “[Hudson] and Brandon were the only two that were over 500 for batting,” Dix said. Dix did said the fact that Hudson wasn’t a pitcher may have been the difference maker in voters’ choices. This was, to Dix’s knowledge, the first year the region voted on all-region teams. He was the organizer of the voting process and it started at the beginning of the season. “At the beginning of the year I sent a text to all the coaches and I said ‘would you guys want to do an allregion [team],’” Dix said. Dix was also in charge of managing the stats and standings for the region during the season. Each coach was allowed to nominate four players from their team, with Crosby being the lone squad to not nominate a player. Then the coaches were allowed to vote for seven players for the first team and 10 players for

one player to be automatically added to the first team, so there were seven spots left

GAME AND FISH NEWS HIP, Federal Duck Stamp Requirements

Harvest Information Program registration for all migratory game bird hunters, regardless of age, and a federal duck stamp for waterfowl hunters age 16 and older, are required beginning Sept. 1. Migratory game birds include ducks, geese, swans, mergansers, coots, cranes, snipe, doves and woodcock. Waterfowl includes ducks, geese, swans, mergansers and coots. Hunters can HIP certify when they buy a North Dakota license, or add it later through the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov, or by calling 888-634-4798 and recording the HIP number on their printed license. Those who registered to hunt the spring light goose season or early Canada goose season in North Dakota do not have to register with HIP again, as it is required only once per year. However, hunters must HIP register in each state for which they are licensed before hunting migratory game birds. This year’s 2016-17 federal duck stamp is available

for electronic purchase through the department’s website and instant licensing telephone number, or at license vendors registered with the department’s licensing system. Physical stamps are not available at North Dakota license vendors, but they can still be purchased at many U.S. Postal Service offices. The electronic stamp is a purchase item like any other hunting or fishing license. When the purchase is completed the electronic stamp is valid immediately. The words ‘Federal Duck Stamp’ will be printed on the license certificate, along with an expiration date 45 days from the date of purchase. The actual physical stamp will be sent by postal mail. The physical stamp is processed and sent by the official duck stamp vendor in Texas, and should arrive to the individual buyer well before the expiration date printed on the electronic license. The physical stamp must remain in possession of the hunter after the 45day electronic stamp has expired. Individuals who have questions regarding the sta-

tus of their physical stamp can contact the federal duck stamp vendor customer service number at 800-8524897. The federal duck stamp has a fee of $25. In addition, there is another $1.50 added to cover shipping and handling costs of the actual physical stamp.

Hunters Asked to Report Banded Migratory Birds

Hunters are reminded to check harvested migratory birds for bands this fall and report their findings. Information from birds with a federal band should be reported online at www. reportband.gov. In addition, the bird banding lab has a new, mobile friendly reporting site that will aid hunters to report bands via mobile devices. Those without access to the internet can report bands by calling 800-327-2263. The band number, date and location of each recovery are needed. After the band information is processed, hunters can request a certificate of appreciation, and information about the

bird will be returned in an email. Hunters can keep all bands they recover. Information received from hunters is critical for management of migratory game birds.

Hunter Ed Class for Women Offered in Bismarck

Women interested in getting hunter education certified prior to the fall hunting season can sign up for a class offered Aug. 17 in Bismarck. The class will meet from 6-9 p.m. at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s main office. Evening activities include classroom instruction, self-paced internet classes and a written exam. Participants will have two weeks to complete an online portion, take a short exam and print a certificate of completion. On Aug. 31 at 6 p.m., the class will gather at Game and Fish to participate in a group discussion and take the final

out for the two remaining spots. Griffin is a two-time Pro Bowler who didn’t fit the youth movement of the Titans and might resurrect his career in a new setting. Harris was the Vikings’ second highest graded safety last season, and at only 24 years old, he has plenty of room for growth. The Vikings used a draft pick a few months ago on Kearse, and all indications coming out of training camp point to Kearse impressing so far. Exum Jr. is entering his third season in the NFL, and is another up-and-coming player in Mike Zimmer’s defense. So far, Sendejo is getting most of the first team reps in practice, but both Griffin and Harris are getting looks with the first team as well. Unless Griffin earns the starting role, he will likely be cut, as the Vikings have plenty of youth behind him that give the team a promising future. Kicker Blair Walsh is entering his fifth NFL season. After earning Pro Bowl and FirstTeam All-Pro honors his

during the early goose season, or just practicing retrieving, can lead to severe illness and potential death. Potentially toxic algae blooms occur under conditions of hot, dry weather. Shallow, stagnant water with moderate to high nutrient content provides an optimum environment for algal growth. Water or wind movements often concentrate the algae, and eventually the bloom appears as a blue-green “scum” floating on the water’s surface. The threat diminishes once the weather turns colder. Hunting dogs shouldn’t drink or swim in discolored water or where algal blooms are apparent. If dogs retrieve in these conditions, they should be rinsed off immediately and shouldn’t be allowed to lick their coat. For additional information about the effects of blue-green algae blooms on hunting dogs, contact the Animal Health Division, North Dakota Department of Agriculture, at 701-3282655; or a local veterinarian.

Hunters Advised to Check Water Conditions

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department advises hunters to be cautious with their dogs around water this time of year, due to potential health hazards associated with blue-green algae. Late summer and early fall offer prime conditions for blue-green algae growth in many state waters. Ingestion by a hunting dog while perhaps retrieving a bird

Final roster breakdown This will be the final week of the roster breakdown series. The safety position is one of the biggest battles this training camp, and we likely won’t know the victor until the first regular season game against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 11. Starters: Harrison Smith There is only one starter listed here, as the other safety spot across from Harrison Smith is truly up for grabs. Smith, however, has his position locked down. Given a grade of 92.8 by Pro Football Focus, Smith was the highest rated safety in 2015. The Vikings recognized his value to the defense and gave Smith a five-year contract extension worth over $51 million. On the bubble: Andrew Sendejo, Michael Griffin, Anthony Harris, Jayron Kearse, Antone Exum Jr. Last season the Vikings kept four safeties on the opening day roster, which means two of the safeties listed above will likely be cut within the next month. The player with the best chance to start across from Harrison Smith is also the player who had the lowest PFF player grade of the group and one of the lowest scores for any safety in the NFL: Andrew Sendejo. Sendejo was just given a four-year contract this past off-season, so unfortunately it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere. If Sendejo is a virtual lock to make the team, that leaves Griffin, Harris, Kearse and Exum to battle it

rookie season, Walsh has regressed some. The Vikings have high hopes for Walsh, signing him to a contract extension that will keep him in purple and gold through the 2019 season. He might be forever known as the kicker who missed a chip-shot field goal in the playoffs, but he led the league in field goals made last year while also bringing his accuracy up to 87.2 percent, the second best mark of his career (rookie season, 92.1 percent). Punter Jeff Locke had the worst year of his short career in 2015. After averaging a paltry 44.2 yards per punt in both 2013 and 2014, that average plummeted to 41.6 last year. For some reason, the Vikings have elected not to bring in competition for Locke this offseason. Luckily, Locke is entering the last year of his rookie contract, so if he doesn’t significantly raise his game this year, the Vikings will likely be looking for his replacement next off-season. Don’t forget to watch the Vikings take on the Cincinnati Bengals this Friday, Aug. 12! The next article you read will be a game recap, and I’m giddy with excitement!

New livestock medication rules take effect soon Producers will not be able to purchase and use specific feed additive medications without a veterinary feed directive order. Livestock producers must become familiar with a new directive regulating certain medications that can be added to the animals’ feed, according to Gerald Stokka, North Dakota State University Extension Service veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist. The veterinary feed directive (VFD) regulations go into effect Jan. 1, 2017. “This means that any feed additive medication used for livestock that contains an antibiotic considered to be medically important will need to be accompanied by a veterinary feed directive order,” Stokka says. “The order is a written or electronic order from a veterinarian to a producer and feed distributor. The order grants permission to purchase and use a particular feed additive medication in accordance with label directions as listed on the order.” He stresses that feed additive medications with VFD status must be used specifically as stated on the label. Every label will have a claim that the medication has one of three purposes: treatment, control or prevention. Combination feed additive medications that contain more than one medication may have more than one claim. For example, chlortetracycline (CTC) may be used for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia associated with the shipping fever complex at a rate of 10 milligrams (mg) per pound per head per day for five days. The label

Schools. They provided the majority of designing and printing of uniforms and gear for athletics and more. Wolbaum said she hopes to continue that tradition. When she purchased the business from Dale’s, she was given the extensive collection of logos and data files for the previous design work allowing her to effectively pick up where Dale’s left off. With the transfer printing performed directly by Wolbaum, she decided to partner with an already established business for embroidery orders. She serves as the local contact person for that business, a move to ensure Bowman didn’t lose the trade. It has already been a busy summer of orders for Wolbaum; taking on her first large order for a Bowman County Fair event in July as well as printing the shirts for the Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce’s Summerfest. Though her staff merely consists of herself, and her embroidery partner, she indicated high order volumes aren’t a concern, though the work is a far cry from how she initially began her first business, Crimson Patch Designs, prior to taking on Dale’s Clothing’s business. At that point it could be reasonably described as a hobby — she sewed and made hats and mittens for occasional customers. Now Wolbaum said she is ready to accept the challenge of working with a larger inventory and a wealth of clients.

for a combination product that includes CTC, along with lasalocid, will have a control claim for coccidiosis and a treatment claim at 10 mg per pound for bacterial pneumonia. “The veterinarian will not grant permission to change the dosage rate or the indication/reason, such as using the drug for the control of infectious foot-rot,” Stokka says. Feed additive medications are categorized according to the concentration of the active drug ingredient. Type A articles are those in the highest-concentration category and are used to create lowerconcentrated medications, the Type B and C medicated feeds. Type B medicated feeds contain other nutritional ingredients and can be used to create other Type B and C medicated feeds. Type C medicated feeds can be used as a complete feed or fed free choice and top dressed (added to the feed immediately before the livestock consume it). For example, if you’re feeding a dose of CTC to treat bacterial respiratory disease to 100 calves weighing 500 pounds at the approved dose of 10 mg per pound per head per day for five days, the amount of drug you would need is 500,000 mg or 500 grams (10 mg x 500 pounds x 100 calves). If you have a 10-gram product, that is 10 grams of CTC per pound. You would need to feed 50 pounds of the 10-gram product or use

it as a top dress in the feed. A 10-gram-per-pound Type C product contains 20,000 grams per ton. A group of 100 calves being fed 10 pounds per head per day in a total mixed ration (TMR) would require 1,000 pounds of feed. You would need to include 1,000 grams per ton, which would require 500 grams in the TMR for this group of calves. The VFD was created to limit the use of medically important antibiotics in livestock to medications considered necessary for animal health. The regulations do not apply to feed additives for food production purposes, such as to enhance growth or improve feed efficiency. Medically important antibiotics are those that are used in livestock but also are used in the treatment of human bacterial diseases. For example, tetracyclines have

been used in or on livestock feed for more than 50 years. “While these compounds traditionally have been sold as over-the-counter products, on Jan. 1, 2017, they will be transitioned to the veterinary feed directive status,” Stokka says. He advises producers to check with their veterinarian, nutritionist and/or feed dealers about which products will be impacted by the new directive. “If any of these products have been used in previous years and will be needed in the future, producers must make sure they have a working relationship with their veterinarian,” Stokka says. This working relationship is known as a veterinary client patient relationship, or VCPR. The practical meaning of the VCPR is that the veterinarian must have visited the producer’s operation and be familiar with the type

Embroidery orders, which are sent off for completion, are able to get turned around to the customer in as quickly as two weeks. Screen-printing is even faster. Special orders take longer. Printing can be done on virtually anything including shirts, pants, pullovers, even chairs and bags. She utilizes a variety of fabrics to offer customers a wide selection. “This is a big deal,” Wolbaum said as she inspected her large screen printer that rests on a counter in her studio. With the avid use of Dale’s Clothing’s

customization services in the past, it struck Wolbaum that there remained a need for such a business in the community. She’s one of three total businesses in the area that are now helping to carry on custom printing in Bowman County. While she is working anxiously to finish her studio, alongside her husband, Jason, she still has four young boys to raise, but that’s not stopping Wolbaum’s ambition to expand her business. “Sometimes the boys help,” she said with a grin, with them helping to in-

spire ideas and serving as an occasional sounding board for brainstorming. She said she is grateful for more time at home to spend with her family. Her gratitude also extends to the community, she said, as so many have been supportive of her decision to ensure, despite the closing of Dale’s Clothing, that the ability to print and customize apparel remained local.
