Pioneer Bulk Food A new Venture By Esther Sailer

For the Record Hearld

uring the Fall there are many changes that occur as we look at the leaves changing from bright green to various shades of auburn but the biggest change by far to be noticed in Cando this week would have to be the introduction of yet another new business. Cando citizens now have the privilege of welcoming yet another new face to the host of local businesses that have begun to grow in our community named Pioneer Bulk Food. The bulk food store opened its doors on Monday, November 11th and is owned and operated by James and Heather Clay of Cando.

The Clay family moved to the Cando area about 3 years ago because they wanted a safe place to raise their growing family of 10 children and Cando’s reputation of being a community where everyone knows everyone and people are friendly is what drew them to our amicable neighborhood. In fact one of the family’s greatest reasons for opening their store was so they might get to know people better and become a greater part of our community by giving back to it. Born and raised in Ohio, James and Heather gained a great deal of experience in the knowledge of what it takes to run a business such as this because they ran a similar operation in Ohio for 7 years when their oldest son, Logan was only 3 years of age.

The Clays had originally thought that they would open a candy shop complete with donuts (made by Heather) a year from now but when the storefront across from Country Lanes on 5th Avenue came to their attention in July Heather commented that it was a ‘cute’ storefront that looked like just the thing they were looking for. So, in a matter of months the purchase was made, renovations undergone with the aid of all family members, and preparations coordinated for ingredients, goodies, and necessities to line the shelves was well underway. I was even made aware that Phoebe, the youngest of the clan at almost 2 years of age, did her part to join in the operations. As you venture into Pioneer Bulk Food you will quickly recognize that

North Dakota farmers lend a helping hand armers can now register to win $2,500 to help grow their community

The Monsanto Fund has just launched its fourth year of America’s Farmers Grow Communities, and we would like to encourage farmers in your area to sign up again for the opportunity to win $2,500 for their favorite local nonprofit. The deadline for farmers to enter is Nov. 30. It’s free to sign up, and since all eligible counties will have a winner, one or more farmers in your area will be selected as one of our 1,289 winners across 39 states. Last year, Ronald Tschepen was the winning farmer in Towner County, and he directed his donation to the North Star Lunch Program Thanks to famers across North Dakota, $277,500 has been invested in rural communities through-

out the state. Back for the fourth consecutive year, America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, will be giving farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite, local nonprofit organization. Since the program was piloted in 2010, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has helped more than 5,200 nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit organizations continue to search for funding opportunities that will better enhance their programs. Through the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, farmers have been able to support a variety of nonprofit organizations in North Dakota.  FFA chapters across the state have received a total of $22,500 in Grow Communities donations.  Farmers helped put out fires by donating $95,000 to fire- and

health-related organizations.  Service organizations, like food pantries, have received $32,500.  Grow Communities has donated $30,000 to education organizations.  Community improvement organizations have received $52,500 through Grow Communities.  Many farmers chose to give back to their local 4-H clubs. A total of $40,000 has been donated to 4-H clubs across the state. America’s Farmers Grow Communities launched nationally in 2011 and has grown to include 1,289 eligible counties in 39 states. Farmers and rural community members can now visit GrowCommunities.com or call 1-877267-3332 and register to win or submit an idea for a nonprofit in need of funding. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund's overall effort to support rural communities.

it’s a very family-oriented and locally-laden business with many items that are manufactured right here in North Dakota from our very own Cando Pasta Brand to Dakota Maid. The Clays also sell a whopping 25+ varieties of Amish cheeses, various jams, bagged candies, jerkies, stick meats, syrups, and even blue popcorn! And that’s only the beginning of the items to be found in this local shop. This writer even had the opportunity to try a sampling of pretzels and jerky located by the till which Caleb Clay (one of the older son’s) kindly pointed out and which I happily accepted. So, yet again Cando welcomes Pioneer Bulk Food to the host of businesses who have joined our little community alongside Cool Beans, Hardware Hank, Lumber Plus, Floral Depot, K&E Meats, Cando Bar, and Pinky’s (to name only a Clay family except their oldest Logan (missing) few) who have either originated in the last few years or come under new ownership. Pioneer Bulk Foods is planning their Grand Opening scheduled for the 25th and 26th of November. But you don’t have to wait until then to get your fill of meats and goodies because the shop’s hours run between the hours of 8 - 5:30 on Monday through Friday even now. So, if you’re out and about in downtown Cando be sure to drop in and check out our town’s newest new business. It is also the hope that by the Grand Opening the Clays will also introduce the bakery portion of their store to the community with various baked goods available for Reuben standing in front of a variety of cheeses and candy. purchase. A big thank-you and applause also goes out to the many busi- and unnamed) and the many hands ments to make our community nesses in our town (those named that work within these establish- what it is. Keep up the great work!

District Court

By Shiela Rabe

istrict Court was in session November 12, 2013 with Judge Donovan Foughty on the bench. Making an initial appearance was Mary Agnes Blades, escorted from the Devils Lake Law Enforcement Center. She is charged with Terrorizing, Felony C, and Disorderly Conduct, Misdemeanor B. Attorney Coral Mahler requested that her client be released from custody to be able to meet family and occupational commitments. Judge Foughty set bail at $1000 and ordered no contact with the victims and their families as well as no consumption of alcohol. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:00 AM, December 27, 2013 in Devils Lake.

Robert Joseph Greenwood was in court with attorney Scott Thompson for a status conference. He was charged with Fleeing or Attempting to Allude Police, Misdemeanor A. An agreement was reached with the State on a lesser charge of Reckless Driving. Mr. Greenwood entered a plea of Guilty to that charge. Judge Foughty accepted the plea and imposed fines of $250 and a jail term of 10 days, credit for 2 days served, the remainder suspended for 12 months. Terri Farbo, with attorney Scott Thompson, made an initial appearance (continuance) on a charge of Aggravated Assault, Felony C. A preliminary hearing is set for 10:00AM, January 3, 2014 in Devils Lake. Bradley L. Hall was in court for

an initial appearance on a charge of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, B Misdemeanor. Mr. Hall pled Guilty and was given the mandatory minimum sentence for aggravated first offence (related to very high blood alcohol level) of 2 days in jail and fines and fees totaling $750. Wanda Lea Shea made her initial appearance on a charge of Disorderly Conduct, Misdemeanor B. She was advised to obtain legal counsel and continued until 9:00AM, December 3. Jonathan Klier, represented by Coral Mahler, was in court for a pretrial conference with State Attorney Emerson via telephone. Mr. Klier is charged with Possession of Certain Materials Prohibited, a C Felony. He pled guilty but further action was deferred pending evaluation.

be effective over the long run, they will need to create a permanent infrastructure and a responsible process that can be utilized to accept this option year after year. But can the Democrats mobilize their loyalists to do the job? Or have they become content as a minority party living on hope? Personally, I have a considerable investment in an effective 2-party system. I was one of the Insurgents in the Nonpartisan League who invested a lot of time creating the current two-party system. It took 10 years, involving scores of meetings, to arrive at the 2-party system in 1956. Just as today’s Republicans are

fighting internal factions, most of those meetings involved internal fighting in the Nonpartisan League and then initially in the tumultuous marriage of the Insurgent League with the Democrats. It wasn’t fun and it burned up a lot of time. So now I wonder whether or not the Democrats of today have the kind of commitment it takes to maintain the 2-party system they’ve been handed. If there ever was a time North Dakota needed political accountability and policy alternatives, it is now. Many decisions are being made and the application of all points of view can make those decisions better.

Democrats Need to Step Up As a Minority Party

By LloydOmdahl

hile moderate Republicans struggle to take back their party, the North Dakota Democrats have a problem of getting to be one. Over the past 20 years, they have seen their numbers in the legislature dwindle from a majority in the senate down to 14, with Republicans holding 33 seats. In the House, Democrats have 23 seats while Republicans hold 71. Prospects for legislative gains in 2014 are less than cheerful for Democrats. Historically, the party of the president tends to lose seats

in off-year elections. As for the statewide offices, the Republicans now have all of them and the Democrats have a short bench going into 2014. If elections mean anything, the state has become more conservative over the past 20 years - even though the U. S. Senate elections seem to be exceptions. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the North Dakota Democrats are hardly able to assume the duties of a minority party in a 2-party system. This is unfortunate for the state as a whole. In our democracy, minority parties have two primary functions: (1) holding the majority

party accountable and (2) offering alternative policies. While the small cadre of Democratic legislators probably does the best they can, their numbers limit their effectiveness. It is obvious that if they want to be a party, they need to take a serious look at options outside of the traditional legislature. In North Dakota, we have two legislative processes. First, we have the legislature itself. In this forum, the Democrats are hard pressed to force accountability because of their small numbers. Second, there is the other legislative process involving the initiative and referendum where un-

der “bad” legislation can be killed or “good” legislation proposed by citizen petition. If Democrats are serious about being a party, they need to quit speculating about major gains in the legislature and accept the reality that they may be a minority party for a long time. They need to utilize the second legislative process more aggressively. It is forum in which they can force accountability and propose alternative policies. But circulating petitions to collect signatures is tedious and challenging work. That is why interest groups hire circulators to do the job. However, if Democrats want to

By Shiela Rabe Last week our numbers were stable and I should have not jinxed Uffda by stating that welcome fact. Today we are again inundated with dogs and cats. Jenna, Scout and Cookie/Sophie are the 3 lovely young adult spayed mixed large-breed girls, all of which would make wonderful family pets. The 4 young lab mix puppies have now been joined by a fifth puppy. Her name is Missy but the other 4 remain anonymous. Then there is Sam, another lab mix. He was in a great home but his owners have had to give him up very reluctantly. Let’s not forget Bella. She is an adorable 8-10 week old Shih-Tzu. There have been lots on inquiries about this little ragamuffin so we think she will not be homeless for long. And last but not least we have Poppy, a beautiful 1 ½ year old red heeler/lab – she is in a foster home that may become her furever home as her foster family really loves her. Kitty-wise we have Jaycee the giant fluff ball and Honey, our sweet white and gray girl. Elvira, the gorgeous black satin cat is in a trial home. Angel is a lovely pure white domestic shorthair that recently presented her rescuer with a litter of kittens. They have all found homes but now Mom is in need of a furever home. She will soon be spayed and ready for adoption. Although our baby kittens are just 4 weeks old they are all eating solid food, using the litter box and creating havoc as only a litter of kittens can. One has already been adopted and the remaining 6 are ready to go to indoor homes. With all the time that Lindsey has spent hand-feeding and caring for these babies they are only going to become pampered house cats. The 2 females are Gemma and Ella and the 4 boys are Leo, Cosmo, Zeus and Ace. Anyone interested in fostering or adopting one of these wonderful pets may call 968-3431.

Notice of Hearing NORTH DAKOTA STATE ENGINEER NOTICE OF HEARING CONCERNING FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS ON WATER PERMIT NO. 5247 Please take notice that pursuant to N.D.C.C. § 61-04-24, a hearing concerning forfeiture proceedings on Water Permit No. 5247 will be held by the State Engineer on December 17, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. in the first floor conference room of the Office of the State Engineer, State Office Building, 900 East Boulevard, Bismarck, North Dakota. Such hearing shall afford the permitholder, the owners of land benefited by the appropriation or works, and other interested parties whose rights to use water may be affected by a cancellation of the appropriation an opportunity to show cause why the appropriation, or a portion thereof, should not be canceled. The water permit that is the subject of this hearing is: Water Permit No. 5247. 1. The State Engineer issued Conditional Water Permit No. 5247 to Bjorn Bjornstad, Cando, North Dakota, on October 21, 1998, to appropriate 120 acre-feet of water annually from the Mauvais Coulee for irrigation purposes. 2. The date of priority for this water permit is March 26, 1998. 3. The points of diversion are located in the NE¼ and NW¼ of Section 1, Township 157 North, Range 66 West, Towner County. 4. The description of land to be benefited under this permit is 360 acres located Section 1, Township 157 North, Range 66 West and Section 36, Township 158 North, Range 66 West. Forfeiture proceedings have been initiated against this permit because the water is no longer being beneficially used for irrigation purposes. TAKE NOTICE FURTHER that if no individual appears at the hearing or files a written protest by the hearing date, the water permit or portion thereof shall be declared forfeited and canceled. If interested parties shall appear and contest the cancellation, the State Engineer shall hear the evidence and if it appears that such water has not been put to a beneficial use or, having been so used at one time, has ceased to be used for such purposes for more than three years, unless such failure or cessation of use shall have been due to the unavailability of water, a justifiable inability to complete the works, or other good and sufficient cause, the same, or a portion thereof, shall be declared forfeited and canceled. If auxiliary aids or services such as readers, signers, or Braille material are required, please contact the Office of the State Engineer, 900 East Boulevard, Bismarck, North Dakota 58505; or call (701) 328-4941 at least seven working days prior to the hearing.

North Dakota Department of Health Reports Hepatitis C Investigation Progressing Number of Related Cases in Minot at 35

he North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) recently received laboratory test results for additional Hepatitis C tests performed in the Minot area in October. The results confirm that eight additional people have the related strain of the virus, bringing the total number of Hepatitis C cases in this outbreak to 35. The department emphasized that these cases do not represent recent infections, but are part of the original outbreak investigation. The North Dakota Department of Health reminds residents that you cannot catch Hepatitis C the same way you can catch a common cold or other virus. Hepatitis C is usually spread when blood from a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. The

Hepatitis C virus is not spread by sharing eating utensils, hugging, kissing, holding hands, coughing, or sneezing, and it is not spread through food or water. You cannot catch Hepatitis C from visiting with someone or being around someone who has the virus unless the blood of that person comes in contact with your blood. That does not happen under normal, everyday circumstances. The investigation in Minot continues. According to Tracy Miller, state epidemiologist for the North Dakota Department of Health, "At this time, we have made progress in analyzing data, which has helped narrow the focus of the investigation. However, we have not conclusively identified the source; as soon as we have clearer information concerning the outbreak, we will share that with the health community and the public." As part of the investigation, the

NDDoH has tested approximately 500 people who may have had exposure to the virus that is the focus of this outbreak. Those blood tests have been sent to laboratories for further analysis. The department continues to contact others who may have been exposed and is providing them with information about testing. "The additional information we receive from these tests will greatly assist us with our investigation and move us towards the goal of stopping this outbreak," added Miller. Members of the public who have questions about either this outbreak or Hepatitis C in general may call the department's Public Health Hotline toll-free at 1.866.207.2880. The hotline is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Information is also available on the NDDoH website at www.ndhealth. gov<http://www.ndhealth.gov

BeefTalk: Cows Have Memories, Too If exposed to something they feel uncertain about or something that actually causes stress, cows remember. By Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist

he other day, although a minor event, I had a memory-producing moment. I poured a glass of water and took a drink, then set the glass down momentarily. Soon, I took a second drink, only to have this lessthan-desirable sensation. During the brief time that the glass was unattended, a boxelder bug landed in the glass and became part of my drink. Apparently boxelder bugs do not go down or give up willingly because this particular boxelder bug decided to grab onto my tongue in an attempt to escape. Those who are aware of box-

elder bugs realize that they seem to have no need for anything. It would appear they exist with a reasonable desire to survive. Anyway, this misplaced boxelder bug succeeded in crawling up my tongue but still met a quick demise. Although one acts instinctively in unknown situations, I have no regrets on crushing this little boxelder bug. In fact, as a common late-fall guest in the house, all the remaining boxelder bugs were put on the “unwelcome” list. Life experiences produce memories. It is hoped that these are pleasant memories, but not always. Memories are good for us and the cattle we work with. Pleasant environments produce pleasant memories. Regretfully, stressful environments produce bad memories. Not unlike my quick overreaction to the boxelder bug and all the innocent boxelder bugs close by, cows also will overreact. If exposed to something they feel uncertain about or something that actually causes stress, cows remember. I always will remember that boxelder bug crawling up my tongue, and cows always will remember that touch of pain produced by an electric prod. It only was one boxelder bug or only one touch of the electric prod, but that makes no difference because the memory has been programed and bad memories do not go away. In fact, as the cow bellows in response to what seems like an incidental touch, her response upon leaving may be much like my treatment of the boxelder bug’s friends. I turned on them, and so may the cow turn on her handlers. Fall is a busy work time for cattle producers as cattle are gathered, worked and readied for winter. Accessibility, protection and simple ease of handling all come into play when the cattle are sorted. This experience or reintroduction to people is important. Cows are expected to have a long life on the ranch. The oldest cow in the herd certainly should be in double digits in age. Granted, the average age of the herd is significantly lower than the oldest cow, but the goal is to keep cows for a long, productive life. For those cows that are enrolled in

the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s CHAPS program, the average age is 5.7 years. The older cows certainly can influence new cows. As the cows are gathered, new cows will sense nervousness if the older cows are uneasy. Again, the predator-versus-prey fear never is very far away. Cows survive by being cognizant of all that is around them. As producers, our goal is not to be viewed as a predator but rather as an acceptable partner in the range environment. As the cows come home, recall is critical. I remember our cattle were summered away from the home place. The pasture had a west gate that faced home. For some reason, as fall set in, the cattle would start to camp at that gate and eventually we would arrive to open it. Those old cows knew exactly what was going on and the younger cows followed. The cows walked home instead of dispersing into the wilderness. Cows have memories, and the more good memories they have, the better life is for them on the ranch. Difficult or painful memories do not go away. If you kick the dog, the dog remembers. If you poke the cow, the cow remembers, and when you swallow a boxelder bug, you remember. I do not intend to swallow another boxelder bug, and boxelder bugs need to be more careful when in my presence. If you kick the dog, the dog might bite, and the cow that gets poked with an electric prod will not want to come home. Common sense or, as one might say, cow sense, is learned through time. The ability to have a smooth cattle working process is the accumulation of cow sense that is put to work chute side. To rush, get frustrated or push too hard is not good for the cattle and not good for the producer. Best management practices for cattle producers beg the question: What is one’s attitude while working cattle? Let’s keep it calm and always look before you drink. May you find all your ear tags.

IRS Warns of Pervasive Telephone Scam

he Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a preloaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country. We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves. Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail Other characteristics of this scam include:

 Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.  Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.  Scammers spoof the IRS tollfree number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.  Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.  Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.  After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.  If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:  If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.  If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident

to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800366-4484.  If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint. Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS. The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

North Dakota Needs a Farm Bill Now

he success of Agriculture has been synonymous with the prosperity of North Dakota. We’ve been blessed in recent years with high commodity prices, a booming energy industry and robust economy. Our farmers and ranchers have had the security of a strong Farm Bill which has contributed to agriculture as our top industry. This fall, Congress has an important opportunity to create jobs and grow the economy by passing a long-term comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill. The Farm Bill impacts every American by providing a wide range of programs that strengthen North Dakota and our country.

The Farm Bill is crucial to maintaining a strong agriculture sector and an abundant food supply that benefits all Americans. Over the past two years, producers have faced a multitude of disasters – from drought, to flooding,

to blizzards. These events demonstrate how important the safety net is to keeping producers going strong. Under the 2008 Farm Bill, the Farm Service Agency was able to provide $759 million in disaster assistance to North Dakota’s producers. North Dakota farmers are not only feeding the country, but also the world. A new Farm Bill would allow USDA to continue export promotion efforts that have led to the best five-year period of agricultural trade in American history. The Farm Bill is also a job creation bill that would empower USDA to partner with our rural communities to expand and support new businesses. These investments to strengthen our infrastructure support our booming economy and private sector growth. What’s more, the new legislation would make important investments in nutrition programs that provide critical assistance to our most vulnerable North Dakotans

including children, seniors, people with disabilities and returning veterans. It would enable USDA to continue our work with our producers and landowners to conserve the soil and water. It would also undertake new strategies to improve agricultural research and ensure a safe food supply. These efforts won’t happen without the passage of a new Farm Bill. Now is the time to give America’s farmers and ranchers the certainty they need about the next five years of U.S. farm policy, while investing in the rural communities that stand at the heart of our values. The Farm Bill has stood as a model of bipartisan consensus for decades and it is high time for compromise to move a new Farm Bill forward.

Third Generation High Power Shooter Awarded the Distinguished Rifleman Gold Badge

ando native Ryan Holien received eight leg points with his win in Grand Forks this year to put him over the 30 points needed to earn this unique gold medal. Ryan was the 2147th civilian to earn the Distinguished Rifleman Badge since it was originated in 1884. The Service Rifle Excellence-in-Competition Match is sponsored by the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) Port Clinton, Ohio. Each state can hold no more than two Service Rifle Excellence-in –Competition matches a year. The Service Rifle match is a 50 shot match with no sighting shots. Each shooter fires 10 shots standing in 10 minutes at 200 yards, 10 shots sitting rapid fire in 50 seconds at 200 yards, 10 shots prone rapid fire in 60 seconds at 300 yards, and 20 shots in 20 minutes at 600 yards. During the match you are doing one of 3 things, you are either shooting, scoring, or operating the targets down in the pits. The most common service rifles used in this match are the M1-Garand, M--14 and AR-15 no external parts can be altered in anyway on the service rifle. Trigger pull weight has to be 4 ½ lbs or greater. With lots of practice you learn the rifles zero at each distance and most of all you learn how to read the wind and how to adjust your sights accordingly. Ryan used a AR-15 service rifle, his father Duane earned his gold medal in 1984 using a M1-Garand, and Ryan’s grandfather Harold Holien received his gold medal in 1970 using an M1Garand.

Hamm: Insurance fraud second most profitable crime in America

orth Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm reminded consumers today that insurance fraud affects everyone—and everyone can play a part in stopping it. Insurance fraud is now the second most profitable crime in America, behind only illegal drug sales. It is estimated that fraud costs consumers between $400 and $700 per year in increased home and auto insurance premiums alone. Nov. 3-9 is International Fraud Awareness Week. “The number one way to stop fraud is to report it,” Hamm said. “If you suspect you have witnessed or have been a victim of insurance fraud, please call the Department and speak to one of our investigators.” Insurance fraud takes many forms. Consider the following tips to help fight fraud:  Don’t be tempted. Some peo-

ple treat an accident or burglary as an opportunity to benefit financially by including other unreported damage or theft, or by exaggerating a legitimate claim.  Drive carefully. In 2010, two Fargo men were charged with intentionally causing auto accidents and inflicting further damage to their vehicles to increase the value of the insurance claims. Allow plenty of space between you and other vehicles. Don’t become a victim.  Only buy insurance from licensed agents. Find out if a company or an agent is licensed to do business on the Insurance Department’s website, www.nd.gov/ndins, or by calling 1-800-247-0560.  Pay your premium directly to the company. In 2012, a Bismarck insurance agent was charged with felony theft of property and insurance fraud after stealing more than $1 million from his elderly clients.

Give your insurance policy premium directly to the company in check or money order form. Don’t pay in cash and don’t give anyone a blank check.  Tell the truth. Lying about mileage driven on an auto insurance policy or about a medical condition on a life insurance policy is misrepresentation. It’s also insurance fraud.  Report it. If you suspect fraud, call the Department to report it. From 2001–2006, only four fraud cases were reported to the Department. That number grew to 50 in 2009. As of September 2013, 114 fraud cases have been reported to the Department this year. The amount of loss due to fraud in North Dakota was $188,047 in 2009. That amount increased to $714,104 in 2012. The Insurance Department employs two sworn peace officers dedicated to investigating and prosecuting claims of insurance fraud.

Prairie Fare: Know Your Slow Cooker The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently updated its slow cooker tips.

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist

NDSU Extension Service

o you remember the marketing phrase, “cooks all day while the cook’s away?” That was the slogan for Rival Crockpot, the original slow cooker, in the early 1970s. At that time, women were joining the workforce in large numbers, and this new kitchen appliance was presented as a solution to meal preparation for busy families. Through the years, various manufacturers have offered slow cookers in various sizes, shapes and colors. Slow cookers offer the opportunity to come home to the aroma of a home-cooked meal. Being a working mother, I’m a big fan of slow cookers. I have a collection of them, actually. For our wedding back in 1993, my husband and I received

thoughtful and useful gifts. Among the gifts were three slow cookers. This brought the total number of slow cookers in our now combined household to six. My husband had one large and one small slow cooker with glass covers in a burnt umber (brownish) shade characteristic of the mid1970s. I had a cream-colored slow cooker with country-blue flowers and a plastic cover from the mid1980s. Our old slow cookers weren’t exactly stylish kitchen accessories in the 1990s, but they served their purpose. We weren’t planning to open a catering business, so we exchanged the three new slow cookers for some other items we didn’t have. Today, our original slow cookers still work, but I decided to update my appliances to add a sleek stainless steel slow cooker last year. It has three settings. When we prepared our first dish in the slow cooker, we discovered it heated at a much higher level. My husband used the word “incinerated.” Our

old slow cookers didn’t boil the food. Had I purchased a nuclearpowered slow cooker? Was it really a microwave oven? We decided that the manufacturers probably have “souped up” the power on the slow cookers because people prepare all sorts of foods in them. I continue to use the old “builtto-last” slow cookers in our pantry. I use the hot slow cooker for quick turnaround meals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently updated its slow cooker tips, which are summarized below. You will find more tips, including how to adjust regular recipes for preparation in a slow cooker, in our newly updated “Now Cooking: Slow Cooker Meals” publication available at http:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/ fn1511.pdf. If you use a slow cooker, are these statements true of what you do?  Wash your hands before, during and after food preparation.  Always start with a clean slow

cooker, utensils and work surface.  Always thaw meat and poultry in the refrigerator before cooking in the slow cooker. This will ensure complete cooking.  Consult the instructions that came with your slow cooker for recommendations on large cuts of meat and poultry. Slow cookers are available in different sizes, so the instructions will vary. If you cannot find the instructions, you can cut the meat into smaller chunks to ensure thorough, safe cooking. Add the liquid, such as broth, water or barbecue sauce, suggested in the recipe and keep the lid in place during cooking.  Refrigerate these perishable foods in separate containers until you are ready to use them if you cut up meats or vegetables ahead of cooking.  Place the vegetables in the slow cooker first because vegetables cook slower than meat and poultry. Place the meat on top of the vegetables and top with liquid, such as broth, water or a sauce.  Spray the inside of the cooker

with nonstick cooking spray before using it for easy cleanup and care of your slow cooker. Slow cooker liners also ease cleanup.  Fill the slow cooker no less than half full and no more than twothirds full. Cooking too little or too much food in the slow cooker can affect cooking time, quality and/or safety (if filled too full).  Set your slow cooker on high for the first hour if possible, then turn the heat setting to low to finish cooking. Keep the lid in place. Removing the lid slows cooking time. Try this flavorful recipe paired with corn muffins, fresh fruit and milk for a balanced meal.

Slow Cooker Mexican Beef Stew  1 c. carrots, cubed  2 c. potatoes, peeled and cubed  1 c. onion, quartered  1 1/2 pounds beef stewing meat, cubed  1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce  1 package dry taco seasoning

mix  2 c. water, divided  1 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch  1/4 tsp. pepper Layer the first four ingredients in the slow cooker. Add tomato sauce. Combine the taco seasoning with 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir cornstarch into the remaining 1/2 cup of water until smooth. Stir into water with taco seasoning. Pour over ingredients in slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover. Cook on low for seven to eight hours or on high for three to four hours. Serve over rice or noodles if desired. Makes eight servings. Each serving has 210 calories, 6 grams (g) of fat, 19 g of protein, 17 g of carbohydrate, 2 g of fiber and 330 milligrams of sodium.

A Veteran’s Program was held Tuesday, hosted by the American Legion Auxiliary. Jason and Marguerite Freund led us off with the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem. Gerry Holien gave the History of Veteran’s Day. She also explained the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. Memorial Day recognizes those in, or were in service, that have died. Veteran’s Day recognizes the Veterans that are living. Gerry finished with a reading entitled, “What is a Vet?” Marguerite followed up with a Patriotic version of, “T’was the Night before Christmas.” The program ended with a sing- a- long of, “God Bless America.” Gifts were handed out to our Veterans, Art Solberg, John Rader, Chad McLeod, and Andy Isaacson. A big thank you, to our Veterans, and a special thank you to the American Legion Auxiliary for hosting this program.

 Monday was Homemade Bread Day. Residents gathered in the morning to make bread and buns. Bread was also made in the Bread Machine. In the afternoon the buns were baked and the Hawaiian bread warmed. The

group buttered the breads and buns, adding honey, as they discussed their bread baking days. This was served with their afternoon coffee. The aroma filled the halls and watered our appetites. Nothing beats the smell

North Dakota Seniors Reminded about Medicare Open Enrollment Period

uring this Time, Seniors & People who are Disabled can Reassess their Medicare Health Plans U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today encouraged North Dakota seniors to review their drug and health plans during Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period, which began October 15 and ends December 7. Medicare recipients can review and change their health and prescription drug plans during the Open Enrollment Period at medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. Recipients who

are satisfied with their plans don’t need to do anything and will continue their current plan. “During the Medicare Open Enrollment Period, review your plan, make sure your health needs are being met, and see if any other plans may better suit your needs or budget,” said Heitkamp. “Medicare serves as a lifeline for so many North Dakota seniors and people who are disabled, offering reliable and affordable health and prescription drug coverage, and North Dakotans deserve the best the program has to offer.” The 2014 Medicare & You handbook is available for ben-

eficiaries to review before making benefit elections. It can be reviewed at http://www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/ pdf/10050.pdf. People with Medicare should never give their personal information to anyone arriving at their home uninvited or making unsolicited phone calls selling Medicare-related products or services. Beneficiaries who believe they are a victim of fraud or identity theft should contact Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit http://www.stopmedicarefraud. gov.

Insurance Department releases federal Marketplace enrollment numbers

orth Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm today released information on the number of North Dakotans who have enrolled in a health insurance plan via North Dakota’s federally-facilitated Marketplace. The three insurance companies doing business in the Marketplace—Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota, Medica Insurance Company and Sanford Health Plan— have 30 enrollments as of Friday, Nov. 1.

Additionally, reports to Hamm from these three companies indicate that 35,585 people are or will be losing their existing health insurance policies due to changes being made to comply with the Affordable Care Act. “The Department requested this data to get an understanding of what is occurring in the Marketplace and to gather information for state officials and policyholders,” Hamm said. North Dakotans who are re-

ceiving notices indicating cancellation, non-renewal or discontinuation of policies should be aware of their options. Individuals and businesses can contact the health insurance companies directly, work through an insurance agent or attempt to log on to the Marketplace website at HealthCare.gov once it is functioning properly. They can also call 1-800-318-2596 to contact the Marketplace. Open enrollment for 2014 runs through March 31, 2014.

Don’t Let Black Friday Lead to the January Blues

Ramifications of overspending are too costly to ignore

mericans can be generous—to a fault—and that character trait is never more evident than during the holiday shopping season.

At this time of year, millions of people put their financial common sense on the shelf, tucking it away into a winter hibernation of sorts, thereby making it much easier to take part in the once per year phenomenon known as Black Friday, the mother of all shopping days. The problem with this practice is that financial reality is just around the corner, never failing to emerge in January as a mailbox full of credit card statements. With avid shoppers counting down the days until the Black Friday bonanza, NFCC certified financial professionals at The Village Family Service Center offer the following 10 reminders of the ramifications of overspending:

1. Adding new debt on top of old is never a good idea, yet many people will enter the 2013 holiday shopping season still paying for 2012 purchases. When debt is carried over from month-to-month, cardholders lose the benefit of a grace period, the time during which a person can pay the monthly credit card bill before interest begins to accrue. When debt is revolved, new purchases begin to incur interest immediately. 2. Paying interest on the interest occurs when debt is carried over from month-to-month. When a debt is not paid in full by the due date, interest is added to the balance. This amount adds up over time, creating an impediment to becoming debt free. 3. Late fees and over-limit fees can cause balances to grow to an unmanageable level. Issuers may charge a late fee of $25 with the first late payment, and with 45 days

notice, increase the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) to a higher interest rate on new purchases. However, consumers who make late payments more than once in a sixmonth period may be assessed a higher late fee with the penalty APR also applied to existing balances. 4. An inability to pay as agreed could result in negative notations on a person’s credit report, with late or missed payments remaining on the report for seven years. Further, the all-important credit scores are based on information in the credit report. Along with other factors and depending on the extent of the delinquency, the drop could be by as much as 100 points. 5. Less credit will be available on existing cards. Credit cards have a spending limit beyond which the user cannot charge without penalty. Since no one knows what tomorrow holds, over-utilizing open lines of credit can leave a person

without a credit safety net for future purchases, unplanned expenses or emergencies. 6. Diminished access to new or additional credit can be the result of irresponsibly handling existing credit. Issuers are less likely to extend more credit to a person who cannot manage current debt obligations. If credit is granted, it will likely be at a higher interest rate. 7. Beyond credit cards, decisions involving insurance, renting an apartment, establishing utility or cell phone services, or finding employment can be affected by a person’s ability to manage debt. 8. Servicing a large amount of debt can diminish the amount of money available for other necessary components of financial stability such as saving or investing. 9. Bills not paid on time can have very serious consequences including collection efforts, lawsuits, judg-

ments and wage garnishment. Each of these can have a long-term negative impact on a person’s daily life as well as future borrowing power. 10. Overspending can force a person into making desperate choices such as resorting to payday loans, pawn shops, bankruptcy or debt settlement. “Now is the time for financial awareness, not after the damage is done,” says Gail Cunningham, Vice President of Membership and Public Relations, National Foundation for Credit Counseling. “Consumers need to ask themselves if taking on unmanageable debt this holiday season is worth putting their financial well-being at risk.” For a quick and easy snapshot of their current financial picture, The Village urges consumers to use the free online financial self-assessment tool at www.MyHolidayCheckUp. org. Doing so in advance of holiday shopping positions you to make

wise spending decisions, a gift that will last long beyond the holidays. For help constructing a workable holiday budget, or to discover how to pay off existing debt, visit with a NFCC certified financial professional at The Village. Contact The Village at www.HelpWithMoney.org or 1-800-450-4019. The Village is a member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC).

Lady Bearcats Fall in Region 4 Semi-Final Play By Lavonne Haugen For the Record-Herald

North Star vs. New Rockford

The North Star Bearcats turned in what can only be termed as a gritty performance on Monday, November 11 as they opened up their Region 4 Tournament play against the New Rockford/Sheyenne Rockets. Head coach Marla Hagler summed up the game stating, “We played a little tentative the whole match. I attribute it to first round nerves. We had a lot of unforced errors but did have some good stretches of quality play.” The Bearcats entered the opening round of the tournament turning a three game victory into a bid for a semi-final berth as they defeated the Rockets 2521, 25-11, 25-23. Sarah Hagler led the team with 15 kills, 18 digs and two blocks. Macey Kvilvang followed with 13 kills and five blocks. Allie Heisler added six kills and 22 assists, while Hannah Alto finished with 12 assists and one service ace. Kellie Jo Huschle added four kills for the Bearcats, Janae Larson recorded 21 digs, while Taylor Krom rounded out the top three with 13 digs.

North Star vs. Lakota-Edmore

The North Star Bearcats looked poised to advance to the championship game of the Region 4 Tournament when one bad bounce appeared to derail the team. The Bearcats jumped out to a convincing 2517, 25-17 two game lead and looked to be in control of their destiny when the Raiders rallied in the third game, winning the next two 25-23 and 25-22, knot-

ting the match up at two games apiece. Despite their reputation of rallying to find their game in the final set, the Bearcats were unable to muster their offense and fell to the Raiders 12-15 to end their bid for a possible Region 4 championship title. Sarah Hagler had a career high 43 kills in the match. She added one block, 33 digs and two service aces for the Bearcats. Macey Kvilvang added 14 kills and four blocks. Janae Larson finished with three kills and 17 digs. Hannah Alto led the team with 25 assists and 17 digs while Allie Heisler followed closely with 21 assists, five service aces and 30 digs. Faith Krom added 22 digs and five service aces and Taylor Krom finished with 17 digs to pace the team. Coach Hagler knew the match would not be an easy victory for her team. “Going in we knew we would have our work cut out for us with their huge front line double and triple blocking. It’s no secret where the majority of our sets are going and they key in on those players and are ready and waiting for them. Very seldom do they see an open net and forced to battle through a wall of blockers with every attack and we won a lot of those battles which has been the key to our success all season.” She finished by adding, “The girls played hard the whole match. I am very proud of their effort, they kept on battling and never gave up. They played their hearts out and just came up short.” Sarah Hagler comes out of the back row for the kill against Lakota

Fishing Tournaments Require 30-Day Notice

rganizers planning fishing tournaments, including ice fishing contests this winter, are reminded to submit an application along with fishing tournament regulations to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at least 30 days prior to the start of the event. The 30-day advance notice allows for review by agency staff to ensure the proposed tournament will not have negative consequences or conflicts with other proposed tournaments for

the same location and/or time. Tournaments may not occur without first obtaining a valid permit from the department. In addition, the number of open-water tournaments on lakes Sakakawea and Oahe, the Missouri River and Devils Lake are capped each year, depending on the time of the year and location. Sponsors for tournaments on these water bodies must submit their application to the department prior to Jan. 1 to ensure full consideration.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel  On Nov. 16, 1907, Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory enter the United States as Oklahoma, the 46th state. Oklahoma initially prospered as an agricultural state, but the drought years of the 1930s made the state part of the Dust Bowl.  On Nov. 14, 1941, "Suspicion," a romantic thriller starring Cary Grant and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, makes its debut. The film marked the first time that Grant, a Hollywood leading man, and Hitchcock, one of the greatest directors in movie history, worked together.  On Nov. 15, 1957, Nikita Khrushchev challenges United States to a missile "shooting match," claiming that the Soviet Union had missile superiority over the United States. He also claimed that the United States did not have intercontinental ballistic rockets; "If she had," the Russian leader sneered, "she would have launched her own sputnik [satellite]."  On Nov. 13, 1969, in Washington, protesters stage a symbolic "March Against Death" with more than 45,000 participants, each with a placard bearing the name of a soldier who had died in Vietnam. The march lasted for two days and two nights. President Richard Nixon was deeply angered by the protests, but publicly feigned indifference. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Actually, it’s not a bad thing to be called. Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner”, they remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old Farts remember World War 11, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 2945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam. If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. They trust strangers and are courtly to women. Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it’s about their children or grandchildren. It’s the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by politicians , but by the young men and women in the military serving their country. This country needs the Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country and decent values. We need them now more than ever before. Thank God for Old Farts!

Thanksgiving The year has turned its circle, The seasons come and go. The harvest is all gathered in And chilly north winds blow. Orchards have shared their treasures, The fields, their yellow grain. So open wide the doorway- Thanksgiving comes again! (Author Unknown)
