Christmas cacti, gifts add smiles to season By Brad Mosher

bmosher@countrymedia.net

For some, it is the season for Christmas Cacti. And assorted gift bags. Small succulent plants are among the gifts being handed out by a group of local Secret Santa’s as part of the Giving Tree program for residents of Slope and Bowman counties. According to Edna Paulson, the local director of the Giving Tree program, the cactus and travel medical gift bags have been organized at the Bowman Senior Center. By Friday, she said that most of the gifts she had accumulated would be in their new homes. Some items on the wish lists were easy to find. Some took shopping trips to Baker, Hettinger and even Dickinson. Other things forced Paulson to order online to find them. “Everything that could be purchased locally was. We hopped online to order most of the rest of the stuff or went other towns close by,” she explained. “All the items are basically being organized right now,” she said over the weekend. When the families pick up their wish lists of gifts, there will be some work to do. “Most of the families are going to wrap their own gifts, which gives them some ownership – and that is pretty cool. They get pretty excited about that.” Many of the gifts have already been picked up, she added. Most of the rest will be gone from

her temporary staging area. “My goal is by mid-week to have everything distributed. Every year I have to find a space to ‘land in’ and organize,” she said. One day, she is hoping to find a location that can be home to the program, she added. The Giving Tree program is designed to help families that are struggling during the Christmas season and throughout the year and has been around for many years before COVID-19 came to North Dakota, she explained. But it also is not limited to providing

help just during the Christmas season. “People think the Giving Tree is just a once a year thing. It is not. We help people all year long, as needed.” Earlier this year, the group had been using some locations as temporary storage. Then the senior citizen center was gracious and let us use their space to organize the traveling medical baskets, she said. “I usually order fruit for assisted living and some of the senior citizens. Anyway we can lift their spirits and reach out to as many as we can,” she added. The wish list drew

a bigger response than 2019. “This year was tough for everybody. I knew we would have a rise in families. “This year, we are servicing about 33 families.” For the families that lost someone during the year, there was a special gift selected from local florists, she explained. “We deliver Christmas Cactus to those who have lost loved ones. I usually order about 60 of those and they all pretty much have a home.” She even gets responses to the prickly gifts. “I’ve gotten donations and they have a little note in there that says their Christmas Cactus from last year is blooming … it is just beautiful,” Paulson added with a smile. “That is just a warm fuzzy because they have been able to watch it grow. “It is in memory of their loved ones so they can look at the plant and get a warm fuzzy.” In 2019, the group distributed more than 60 traveling medical baskets. This year, the numbers of medical baskets are down a little bit. Paulson also asked that if people know of local residents who have lost someone or if they know of people who are traveling for medical treatments, that hopefully they will try to contact her. Paulson said she has been part of the program for about a decade and it had been around for years before that.

Community Cupboard hits its busy season Staﬀ Report

When it comes to the season of giving, Bowman County is there and has always been there to meet the food needs of local residents. According to Michael Rice, the treasurer for the Bowman/ Slope Community Cupboard, the people of Bowman County have responded even in the season of COVID-19. “You wouldn’t believe it. We are getting so many (donations). The people of Bowman and the surrounding areas are super, super generous... not only money but also food and people offering to help,” he explained Monday. People have been donating most of the items that the cupboard has stocked, he said. “I would say it is 60-40 individuals to businesses. That is simply because a lot of the individuals are donating through their churches and through different organizations and food drives.” One of the recent examples was during the Festival of Lights in Bowman in early December. “The Bowman Development Corporation had an entry fee for people to go in, so we got a donation from them. There has been another donation coming from the Scranton churches. Another came from the Bowman Lions. “It is the people who are supplying the foodstuffs. The businesses are donating with money,” Rice said. “This time of the year is very fulfilling for the Cupboard,” he said. “During the summer donations can be kind of thin as people go on vacations. There aren’t a lot of opportunities to have food drives.” The cupboard is still looking for food drives and volunteers to help, he added. They should contact Monica Septon. There is also a local cupboard in Amidon. Both locations are part of the western region of the Great Plains Food Bank. For the people who get food from the Bowman cupboard every third Wednesday one block east of Main Street, Rice said they ask people not to get food from the Amidon cupboard. “It is just like a regular grocery store,” Rice said, describing the Bowman location. “The only difference is we can offer what we are given.”

Bowman dressed in white by fog, sub-freezing weather Staﬀ Report

For some, it may have been a sneak preview of a white Christmas when dense fog combined with sub-freezing temperatures in Bowman County and surrounding areas. The region was covered by dense fog for two days and at the same time freezing temperatures left the are coated with a near monochrome white appearance. According to the Bismarck office of the National Weather Service, much of the state was hit with what acted like a rare Hour frost. During the event, the frost got really thick and acted like snow would, the spokesman said. “It is not really a common event,” James Assid said Monday. “Usually is disappears fairly quickly but this one appeared to stick around a little bit because we dropped in temperature.”

DEADLINE IS FRIDAY AT 4 P.M.

“It is not predicting a white Christmas,” he added. In fact, the forecast for the next week has about a 20 percent chance of precipitation. “It was an interesting meteorological event, that is for sure,” he added. It was also visible by satellite and centered at Lake Sakakawea covering most of North Dakota for a time. The event broke up Sunday morning when the cloud cover broke up and the sun helped burn off the fog. At one point, the region had a weather advisory, which said visibility was limited to about one-quarter mile.

Guest Columnist Darkhouse spearing, a North Dakota tradition for 20 years

Itâ€™s been more than 20 years since darkhouse spearfishing for northern pike became legal in North Dakota.

By Doug Leier, North Dakota Game and Fish Department

Have you ever tried darkhouse spearfishing in North Dakota? If not, thereâ€™s a first time for everything? As weâ€™ve seen since last March when the pandemic began cancelling, rescheduling and turning much of the world upside down, interest and participation in recreating outdoors has been on the rise. Recently, Greg Power, Game and Fish Department fisheries division chief, shared some insight from last yearâ€™s spearing survey that showed 27% did so for the first time in winter 2019-20. While there used to be an opening date to signal the start of the darkhouse spearfishing season, thatâ€™s no longer the case. You can start spearing whenever you can find safe ice on which to set up a darkhouse. Itâ€™s been more than 20 years since darkhouse spearfishing for northern pike became legal in North Dakota. The numbers show that people are taking advantage of the expanded opportunities for winter outdoor recreation. Hereâ€™s a recap on darkhouse spearfishing in North Dakota from the 2019-20 season, based on information gathered in a post-season survey. 2019-20 Highlights

â€˘4,433 individuals registered (1,478 of which were nonresidents and nearly 80% were from Minnesota). More than 18,000 northern pike were harvested. â€˘Average spearer was 47.9 years old and 87% were male. â€˘74% of the respondents indicated that they darkhouse spearfished. â€˘69% and 75% of the respondents indicated they open-water fished and ice-fished, respectively. â€˘Survey respondents indicated participation on 81 water bodies (identical to 2018-19; down from 104 waters in 2017-18). Lake Sakakawea set a record in terms of reported spearing days. Devils Lake came in second, but a ways back. As noted in the past, Sakakawea and Devils Lake again received the majority of the pike harvest. â€˘Median and mean weights of the largest pike reported harvested by respondents were 8 and 9.2 pounds, respectively, which was up compared to recent years. â€˘Also, a full 10% of all spearers reported harvesting a very large (20 pounds or larger) pike. Individuals who possess the needed valid fishing license participate in darkhouse spearfishing must first register online at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Anglers age 16 and older are required to have a valid fishing license. Spearers and anglers are reminded that materials used to mark holes must be in possession as soon as a hole greater than 10 inches in diameter is made in the ice. North Dakota residents who do not have a fishing license may spear during the winter free fishing weekend Dec. 26-27, but they still need to register to spear. All waters open to hook and line fishing are open to darkhouse spearing, except: East Park Lake, West Park Lake, Lake Audubon in McLean County; Heckers Lake in Sheridan County; Larimore Dam in Grand Forks County; McClusky Canal; New Johns Lake in Burleigh County; Red Willow Lake in Griggs County; Wood Lake in Benson County; Lake Ashtabula in Barnes and Griggs counties; and Whitman Dam in Nelson County. Anglers and spearers should refer to the current North Dakota Fishing Guide for more information.

North Dakota extends mask mandate as rate dramatically drops Staff Report

The mask mandate issued by the governor of North Dakota has been extended through mid-January. Gov. Doug Burgum made the announcement Dec. 9 during a press conference in Bismarck. According to the governor, the rate of the pandemic was forcing the mandate to be extended as a way to regain control of the Coronavirus in the state. Originally, he started the mandate in mid-November using an executive order when the state was ranked first in the nation for new cases per capita. According to researchers from John Hopkins University, the state has dropped from first to tenth in the country in recent weeks. As part of the original executive order, restaurants and bars were limited to 50 percent capacity and had to be closed between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. The governor announced at the press conference that interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke was extending the statewide mask mandate until Jan. 18. According to Wilke, the decision was made as the state continued to improve after the mask mandate started.

Toffee Cheesecake Bars Makes 21â „2 dozen 1 cup all-purpose flour 3â „4 cup confectionersâ€™ sugar 1â „3 cup baking cocoa 1â „2 cup cold butter 1 8-ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 11â „4 cups milk chocolate English toffee bits, divided 1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, confectionersâ€™ sugar, cocoa and baking soda. Cut in

butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press in the bottom of an ungreased 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350 F for 12 to 15 minutes or until set. 2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add the milk, eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in 3â „4 cup toffee bits. Pour over crust. Bake 18 to 22 minutes longer or until center is almost set. 3. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining toffee bits; cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours overnight.

Since the mask mandate was put into effect by the governorâ€™s executive order, the 14-day rolling daily positive average has dropped from a highest in the nation 15.9 percent rate to 7.93 percent as of Saturday (Dec. 12). The rate has dropped by half in that time. That is still short of what rate the governor had stated as acceptable earlier in the summer (about 5 percent). The governor recently changed the status for school winter sports, giving permission for the delayed winter season to start Dec. 14 after allowing the teams to go back to practice about a week after the season was postponed by the original executive order. According to the statistics released by the state Saturday, there were 3,784 active positive cases of COVID-19 in the state. While 82,935 people are listed as recovered since the pandemic began, the state fatalities have climbed to 1,152 people. Since the pandemic started through Saturday, the state has processed 1,230,219 tests to 363,641 individuals with 87,871 being found to be positive. People working in healthcare jobs have been going through repeated tests.

Approximately 48 percent of the state population has been tested with a cumulative positivity rate of 23.6 percent since the pandemic hit the state. With the recent drop, the daily positivity rate fell to 4.82 percent with 287 positives (PCR and Antigen tests) statewide through Sunday. In Bowman, there will be free COVID-19 testing done Dec. 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bowman County Fairgrounds. In Bowman County, 4,569 tests have been processed with 194 found to be PCR positive this year. In Slope County, among the 321 tests, 20 were found to be positive. So far this year, just a few counties in North Dakota have yet to log a death tied to COVID-19. That included Adams, Billings, Golden Valley and Slope counties â€“ until Monday. Then Adams County logged its first fatality, leaving just Billings, Golden Valley and Slope counties as the only ones with no fatalities in the state. According to the state, Bowman County has had four deaths, while Stark County has 40. The highest number of county fatalities has been in Ward (158), Burleigh (150) and Cass (148).

Give a gift to build community

By Lloyd Omdahl

A reaching for togetherness, nurturing mutual concern, sensing a common bond. These make up the stuff of “community”. “Community” defines us as human beings. Unfortunately, the towns and communities across North Dakota have been losing “community” at a steady pace over the past 80 years. As rural populations and retail markets decline, public services and Main Street decline and with them community declines. Community business disappeared without fanfare. Some may have had closing sales but others went quietly. School consolidations made sense but

towns no longer had the business they generated. The job market evaporated so people began commuting to large cities where the jobs were. While in town, they shopped the larger stores. Rural communities have gone into a long dry-down. The threads that gave “community” meaning have been ripping all across the state. Farmers have been doing better that the small town residents. They have a generous safety net that pays when they lose a crop. This safety net brings money into the state so we should not become envious. Last year, we lost a couple of weekly newspapers. The pandemic is killing them. When no one is shopping, no one is spending. When no one is spending the merchants can’t afford to advertise. Even before the pandemic started playing grim reaper, newspapers in large and small cities alike were struggling to survive. In addition to a decline in local advertising, there were fewer and fewer subscribers. So that revenue stream has been dying. Right now, North Dakota state

government is in the process of distributing a cache of federal pandemic money - $54 million – that will be handed out to the hospitality industries. Don’t talk about socialism. This is sorely needed relief for those small businesses that qualify. But there will be no money for the local newspaper. Very likely, the federal government has stipulated that none of the federal money can be used for newspapers. It’s another one of those strange deals. We should have been more concerned over the federal government financing churches. But North Dakota can’t afford to spend time bickering over issues less important than the one at hand: preserving and supporting “community”. Here the weekly paper is critical. When a newspaper dies it is the beginning of the end for the community’s spirit. The newspaper is like flag. It tells the world that “we are here”. When the flag goes down, the fighting spirit of the community goes down with it. The town becomes out of sight, out of mind. Right now, there must be at least a dozen weekly papers on

the edge. The only thing that keeps them going is the many hours donated by the editor. Most of these editors are lucky if they make the minimum wage. Since newspapers are important for promoting and fostering community goals, they warrant our first consideration in an effort for saving the sense of community. But these are just words unless they result in some sort of action. The Christmas season is community-building season. It may not make sense for individuals to buy advertising but they certainly can build up the subscription revenue stream. Let’s be specific. A weekly newspaper subscription would make a good Christmas gift for several reasons: (1) It would be a contribution to saving the voice of the community. (2) It would be a gift that would give every week. (3) It would be welcome in the home of friends and relatives who have moved away. Even if you have already completed your Christmas list, a subscription would be an easy one to add. It’s an opportunity to share in community building.

DAKOTA DATEBOOK Nye Foretells the Future

Written by Merry Helm

Dec. 14, 2020 - On this date in 1944, Senator Gerald Nye made news by marrying Arda Marguerite Johnson in Iowa Falls; it had been less than a year since Nye’s first wife had divorced him. Nye was a Cooperstown newspaper editor when he began his 20-year U.S. Senate career in 1925. He was 33 and a Republican who was endorsed by the Non-Partisan League. Nye quickly gained a high profile as chairman of The Special Committee on Investigation of the Munitions Industry, which boldly examined the role played by wealthy corporations leading up to World War I. After probing the dealings and activities of the country’s most powerful bankers and munitions makers, the committee supplied evidence that World War I was instigated by imperial ambitions in Europe and that the U.S. had been lured into

the war by propaganda and corporate manipulation. By spring 1937, seven out of ten Americans agreed that participating in WWI had been a serious and expensive mistake. Congress passed a number of neutrality laws, which created arms embargoes, and prohibited loans or credit to any country – friend or foe – that was waging war. American ships were even prohibited from trading with, or traveling to, any warring nations. Nye didn’t forget what he learned from that investigation. As World War II heated up in Europe, Nye fought hard to retain America’s isolation; but, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, everything changed. By the time of Nye’s second marriage, the country had moved from political neutrality to fighting in wars all over the globe. Five days after his wedding, the Republican senator stood up on the floor to give his farewell address. About his failure to win his latest bid for reelection, he said,

“Clever propaganda such as can cause intelligent men and women to be made blind to truth and reason has been used against me.” Nye told his fellow senators that upon their shoulders now rested the hopes of the “plain people” for “peace for our own” and called on them to keep the U.S. out of World War Three by “minding our own business.” He talked about the foolhardiness of WWI and how time would tell whether the U.S. should have gotten involved in the present war in Europe. “I am sure...” he then said, “that within 20 years from now – perhaps within 10 years – we will be told that we must go into another...war to keep Russia from seizing control of the world.” He repeated for his colleagues the four things he had learned from the Senate Munitions Investigation: 1) that economic interests lay at the bottom of modern wars; 2) that economic interests that stand to make money from wars “cannot be trusted not to work” for war; 3) that the private

from the Bowman County Extension Office! As we move toward this wonderful holiday, we would like to thank everyone who has been involved with our 4-H program and our extension activities. Without great parents, volunteers and youth, our job wouldn’t be near as fun. We would also like to extend a big thank you to a few of our Shooting Sports Program sponsors: Apex Clean Energy and the Bus Patterson memorial fund, these donations allowed us to purchase equipment and supplies for the youth to participate in Archery and Air Rifle. I would also like to thank the Bryce K. Johnson Estate, for the generous donation toward a new PA system for the 4-H Youth Achievement days.

armaments industry topped the list of those that “cannot be trusted to work against” the coming of war; and 4) that any part of the banking industry engaged in financing the armament industry is just as dangerous as the armament industry itself. Stating what he believed until his death, he said, “...the demand to get out and stay out (of other nations’ wars) will come as surely as tomorrow’s sunrise, and no president, no congress, no Europe-dazzled press or seaboard moneyed class will be able to deny it.” It was Nye’s first prediction that come true, however... 20 years later, the U.S. was fighting in Vietnam to keep communism from “seizing control of the world.”

Bachelor of Ugliness Campaign

Written by Merry Helm

Dec. 18, 2020 - In December 1913, the Fargo Forum reported, “What promises to be the greatest social affair of the year at the YMCA is the mammoth Bachelor of Ugliness contest to be conducted on New Year’s day. Already the members are...putting forth every effort to have the greatest laughing feast of the season... The dormitory men, gymnasium men, men in the night educational classes, gas tractor school men and old boys are holding...conventions to nominate their candidate.” That night, gunshots and screams woke the “dormitory men.” In the ensuing chaos, a wounded boy was found with blood oozing from his mouth. When everybody was sufficiently shocked, another boy burst out laughing and officially declared the fake casualty was his nominee for the Bachelor of Ugliness degree.

Pastor’s Corner

Advent Preparation

By Fr. Paul Eberle

Recently I read an article by Bishop David Kagan in our diocesan newspaper. He shared something about Advent that helped me to think about it in a new way. Bishop explained that he never forgot a remark a priest made during a preached retreat when he was in high school seminary. The priest said that the Advent season gives us a chance to “wait on the Lord” and not just “wait for the Lord.” So true! It is better to actively prepare for Jesus’s coming through service toward, that is “waiting on”, those around us. Advent is not about passively waiting for the Lord, like we wait in line for our food or at the check out counter at the store. Advent is

about being proactive in our relationship with God and others. It is about repenting of our sins - we all have them - and confidently turning toward our merciful God in the spirit of St. John the Baptist who said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” St. John the Baptist is the “voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” When we recognize the presence of God in one another, and “wait” on one another, we “wait” on the Lord and prepare the pathway of our soul for his second coming. When I think of preparing for Advent the memory comes to me of how diligently and lovingly my mom used to prepare for my dad before he came in from working outside all day on the farm. Mom prepared a meal and had us kids that may have been inside help set the table and clean the house up a little bit. We do something akin with our souls when we prepare at welcome Jesus’ coming, first at Christmas when God took on our human nature in Jesus, but also as we prepare for his coming again at the end of all time to be our just and merciful judge. May our Advent season be blessed and filled with hopeful and expectant joy.

Sports

Local athletic teams add masks to uniforms Staﬀ Report

There is a new look to the practice uniforms at local high schools and it will carry over to when the winter sports seasons start in earnest. Thanks to a COVID-19 pandemic, which has drastically changed sports in North Dakota this year, there will be a new piece of uniform used this winter. Masks will be present, not only at practices, but also during games. The coach of the Hettinger-Scranton girls’ basketball team, Kelly Pierce, has had his girls practicing with the masks since they have first hit the court for practice. “It feels like we are playing at high altitude,” the coach said his players are telling him in a recent interview. “It is not quite as easy to get your air.” He also noted that physical conditioning is part of it, since the season is still early. “It is pretty difficult for the girls,” he added. His squad has been to the state tournament twice and lost three to graduation off the 2019 squad. His top returnee is senior Samantha Oase who is a two-time all-state selection and recently signed to play at Black Hills State University in South Dakota after graduation. The coach said that the team tries to play using Oase in the post while developing a strong offense from the outside. The Night Hawks co-op squad opened the season Monday evening in Scranton. For the Bowman County boys squad, the mask are also present at the practices and will be at the games – as well as when needed when the teams are traveling, head coach Nick Walker explained at a recent school board meeting. “What I did at practices is I did periods like I do in football – with one minute mask breaks at the end of every period,” he explained. “There is a perception in every community that these are Bowman County guidelines. This is from the high school athletic association. This is their recommendation for not only practice, but what we have to do when we go to games as well.” The coach and co-athletic director also told the board that he had checked with other schools in the region and some schools outside the region and all were masked at least for some portions of their practices. “Our coaches have the best interests of our kids (in mind)… and this has been an adjustment for everybody. We as coaches and athletic administrators understand the concerns, but we are just trying to follow the guidelines that have been set forth and trying to keep our seasons going,” he added. The boys’ varsity team played Beulah Thursday at home and will travel to Beach Saturday for a 2 p.m. contest against the Buccaneers.

REST. RELAXATION. FUN. LAUGHTER.

Here’s hoping your holiday season is just what the doctor ordered!
