School COVID response team plans for surveys

Bowman school officials and teachers are working on plans to develop surveys on how to meet the COVID-era challenges looming

this fall for the local students, teachers, staff and families. The school’s COVID response team met Monday in the middle school commons to develop strategies to submit to the public in surveys. After the first part of the meeting, Superintendent Wayne Heckaman said he was impressed with the suggestions and comments he was hearing from the members of the COVID response team. “They are all great. They are all valued. They are all things we need to think of,” he said. “There are a lot of things for us to consider. And what procedures or protocols we need to put in place. I am so happy we had the COVID response team come together and really brainstorm today. We have to start somewhere.” The CDC has yet to issue its latest guidelines and some are expected to be released by the North Dakota Department of Health in the near future, the superintendent explained. “We do have guidance, but if they are updating, what does that updating look like. Obviously, we want to make plans with the latest information provided from the CDC or anything we can lean on. As we get that information (from the CDC) that will guide us a little more in depth. A lot of the academic things will be developed later on this week as we try to understand how can we move forward with the health and safety of our students and staff in mind,” he said noting there are a lot of things the team has to go over before developing the survey to send out to the public. That means the school has to start creating a flexible plan to meet the needs of the students, teachers, staff, students and families before school can open in the fall.

“What if we have a blended academic day, what will that look like for our students … what does it look like for the community and what does it look like for our teachers. “Again, there are a lot of questions and we will try to figure what works best local decision for us,” he said. Heckaman said the school has already purchased 1,000 child masks and 750 adult masks “Keeping the schools open will take a community effort,” he told the team as he explained the need for a local survey, which could add it to the plans for the fall. The guidelines they hope to create with community input must be clear and concise he said. “I would like to see a staff survey go out. I would like to see a family survey... we’ll take that information and create plans,” the superintendent said. “We’d like to get the survey out as soon as possible. We need that survey back and the feedback to get the pulse of the families in the community. We’ll take that information and also use that information to develop our health safety plan, our reentry plan as we move forward,” Heckaman explained. “The first part is getting those surveys and getting those surveys out,” the superintendent said. During the meeting Principal Tyler Senn stressed that consistency would have to one of the big things in any plans for operating the school and classes for the fall. That is both academically and athletically, he added. Several of the fall plans have already been changed, including a Veteran’s Day observance, because of health concerns, Senn explained.

Farm to Table pop up draws fast response

Staff Report

The latest Farm to Table Pop Up drew a fast response July 16 when more than 150 boxes of produce were handled out in less than an hour. The delivery took less than 30 minutes to cut the supply by more than 100 as people drove up to get boxes. There was a limit to one per household, depending on the number of adults, children and seniors in the household. The next food delivery will be July 29, again using the parking lot on the Bowman County Fairgrounds, according to organizers. There will be more than just produce being handed out, with dairy included. Each of the boxes included a bag of apples and vegetables like celery, potatoes, onions, and lettuce. Volunteers are handling the local distribution.

Bowman group markets local treasures, business dreams By Brad Mosher

bmosher@countrymedia.net

For the Bowman County Development Commission, there were seven chances to find a dream. And they even provided maps for the visitors to track down some local treasures and places to build their own dreams. The driving and walking tour of Bowman commercial properties was designed to show off the chances for people to dream again and find homes for new businesses, according to the members of the county development commission. The “On the Market” tour started July 13 in the now-vacant ShopKo building along Highway 12, then moved downtown to the former Sears building, Hibachi House, Dales, Hawks Landing, Schmit’s and finally the Super Valu where it ended with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs served up in its parking lot. Shopko Hometown 320 US-12 At the Shopko site, Brooklyn Engelhart explained to the more than 70 visitors that each of the locations had a history of business success. “At every location there will be activities. a history, architectural renderings of what the places could look like. The purpose of tonight is to spark ideas. We want you to share your dreams and your visions for Bowman with us. We want to share it with others and discuss it with others. “Some of our places have history. We know there is some gaps, but we know some of you have been here for a long time and we want you to help us fill in those

gaps,” she said, her voice echoing in the large vacant building. A motto for the event was “Relive and Reimagine.”.... and the group set up large chalkboards at the locations for suggestions about future uses. At the Shopko building, the suggested uses left on of the chalkboard included Target, indoor mini golf and laser tag, an evangelical church, trampoline park, roller-skating rink, Tractor Supply and a tech/trade school. The 25,660 square-foot building is available for both sales or leasing, according to the flyer handed out to the visitors. Sears 103 North Main The second stop on the tour was the old Sears building (103 North Main) where a Mexican restaurant closed earlier this year. Historically, the building started as the Carter Hotel in 1907, then became the Rudolph Hotel three years later and became the Clara Lincoln Hotel in 1942. It became a Sears catalog store in 1975, then became apartments in 2006. The Arqueros restaurant closed on the main floor earlier this year. Hibachi House 17 North Main Street One of the smaller locations on the tour was the former home of the Hibachi House restaurant, which closed in 2019. The restaurant site has slightly less than 4,000 square feet at 17 North Main Street and the location has been a restaurant or cafe for most of its history, In the early 1900s, it was the Cozy Cafe, then became Gene’s Restaurant in 1962. In between, it was the location

of Frank’s General Store when the original building was torn down in 1962 and transformed in to the Gene’s Restaurant until it became Big J’s Restaurant in 2001. In 2015, the Hibachi House took over in the location. Dale’s Clothing 14 North Main For years, Dale’s Clothing was the place to get work clothes, shoes and other items of clothing in Bowman. The 3,317 square-foot building at 14 North Main was another of the locations with a history. It was built in 1953, then 1,350 more square feet were added to the building when it was expanded in 1976 to reach its current size. Hawks Landing 13 First Avenue NE Built in 1978, Hawks Landing has had many names.... and stories in its relatively brief history in downtown Bowman one block east of Main Street. It started as Harold’s Bar on Main Street (where Bowman Drug is now) where four men went in one night and left the next morning as owners with the contract written on a bar napkin. That created The Red Dog Saloon on First Avenue. It eventually became the Sharivar Steakhouse in 1992, the Long Pines Steakhouse and Lounge in 1999, then Hawk’s Landing in 2005. In 2014, the location became the Uptown Bar and Grill. “It has changed a lot through the years,” Engelhart said. “We loved it as a steakhouse. If you want to open it up again as one that would be awesome. Just because it is a restaurant now, it doesn’t have to stay as one. It could be a tech cen-

ter,” she added as a suggestion, noting the building has restrooms opens up the possible uses. Schmit’s 29 South Main The building, which houses a frame business currently, was also on the list as a location that was available for either purchase or rent. It was built in the 1960s and had been used by a number of companies and businesses. Ken’s Super Valu 104 Main St. S Built in 1950, the former market with just under 9,000 square feet could be used as a market again in the future, the development organization suggested with a rendering visitors could see. Some of the visitors came up with other suggestions, including a mini mall, an indoor shooting range, a photography studio, a youth center/roller skating rink. Garden power After the tour finished, Engelhart took time to point out a new feature that has been created in the Super Valu parking lot, where raised beds were built and planted with vegetables. It was conceived as a variation of the victory gardens of World War II. “At the time, they were calling everyone to grow their own food wherever they could. About 40 percent of the U.S. produce was grown from families,” she added. “That kind of spurred our idea here. This space is for you guys. We want you guys to enjoy those,” she added, pointing out some of the plants already growing and being harvested from the large raised planters.

Obituary

Kenneth Rajewsky, 91

Kenneth “Kenny” Rajewsky, 91, of Bowman passed away on July 1, 2020 at the Southwest Healthcare Long Term Center in Bowman. Funeral Services for Kenny were held on July 5, 2020 at the Bowman Lutheran Church. Pastor Mary Wiggins officiated with burial at the Bowman Cemetery. Kenneth Maynard Rajewsky, 91, went to be with his beloved wife, Garnet, in Heaven on July 1, 2020, surrounded by members of his family. Kenneth Rajewsky was born on Sept. 23, 1928, to Ann (Bjorklund) and Herb Rajewsky in Blue Earth, MN. He grew up being the second oldest of four boys. His first job was hauling freight for 35 cents a day and his first car was a Model A that he bought for $100. He met Garnet Wigern in the spring of 1949 when he went roller-skating in Kiester, MN. On Oct. 29, 1949, they were united in marriage. He spent 67 years with his beloved wife, who he always called “dearie.” Those years were not long enough. He was an attentive and loyal caregiver for Garnet - when you saw one of them, you saw them both because they were inseparable. They lived their first few years in Blue Earth, MN, where they had their son Doug on Feb. 16, 1951. In 1963, they had the opportunity to run their own dealership and moved to Bowman. In that time, they took over Reliable Tractor John Deere at the north end of Main Street until they built the new building east of town in 1974. In 1982, they sold Reliable Tractor and tried their hand at farming and ranching for a few years. Their passion for taking care of the farmers

and being in the dealership business brought them back to John Deere, and Old Reliable Tractor was born. Kenny and Doug ran Old Reliable Tractor side by side for 32 years, and in those years they built many friendships. They then decided to sell Old Reliable Tractor in 2002. Kenny was a provider and protector for his family and had a great love for his community. He supported his community by buying livestock at the 4-H sale during the local county fairs, or by keeping the Bowman Lutheran Church parking lot cleared of snow for Sunday morning service. He was a long time board member of the local hospital, a City Commissioner for many years and a lifetime member of the Elks club. He was always generous of this time and talents. After Leah and Kelly, their granddaughters, came into their lives, they spent every possible moment with them, whether that meant traveling to MN, meeting halfway in Steele or flying them to Mesa, AZ, for Christmas. They were each others’ world. They helped raise them and taught them many valuable lessons. Their love and devotion grew even more when their first great-granddaughter Hattie Louise, who they sweetly called Pumpkin, came into

their lives in 2014. Kenny was a perfectionist all around, whether it was in his yard or making sure his granddaughters knew his talent of how to mow the grass. He had a wicked sense of humor, and his smiles were pure as gold--his laugh was even sweeter. Despite being a jokester and a tough guy, he had a tender heart and he wore it on his sleeve. Imagine the humor in him telling Garnet how to wash clothes! Saying goodbye for Kenny was tough on him, as he always had a tear in the eye. You could always find Kenny in a shortsleeved snap-down shirt with two pockets and three pens at all times. Kenny and Garnet developed life-long friendships with a large group of couples and had many adventures with them over the years. They loved to play cards and spend time at the cabin in Spearfish Canyon. Their second love was in Mesa, AZ, as they spent many winters there. Kenny loved to send boxes full of oranges to his loved ones. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Garnet; his parents, Ann and Herb Rajewsky; and his brothers: Roy Rajewsky and Sonny Rajewsky. Survivors include his son Doug (Jody) Rajewsky, Bowman; grandchildren: Leah (Rich) Rajewsky, Port Saint Lucie, FL; Kelly Wilkinson, Apple Valley, MN; Brandon Hoggarth, Bismarck; Kristi (Bryant) Faulkner, Watford City; brothers Snoke Rajewsky and a great granddaughter, Hattie Wilkinson, and many nieces and nephews. Don’t cry for me today, I wouldn’t want it this way. Be strong, and smile, for you will see me in a while.

God is Faithful

By Fr. Paul Eberle

Growing up my Mom would often say something like, â€œGod never gives us more than we can handle. God will give us the grace we need at the time. We just need to remember to ask him for it.â€? Those words helped me out of a tight spot time and again, especially when I felt overwhelmed and tested to my limits and would have rather given up. Later in life I realized that Mom was talking about what St. Paulâ€™s wrote in his first letter to the Corinthians 10:13, â€œGod is faithful and

will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.â€? During these months of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, no doubt many of us feel tested nearly beyond what is humanly possible. Millions have lost jobs and businesses of all kinds have been hampered, affecting everyone in one way or another. The â€œnormalcyâ€? of our lives has been drastically changed. Loved ones in nursing care facilities have not been able to receive visits from family members. My Mom is one of those. She is in the memory care unit of a Nursing Home. My family and I really miss being able to visit her. I understand these steps are necessary for the health and safety of the vulnerable, but it is tough. I know what my Mom would say about these days we are living in, and that gives me comfort and encouragement. God is faithful. God may be testing us, but only to strengthen us and see if we will trust Him. I know that is true, though it is difficult at times to see it from that

perspective. I know that my parents, both Mom - and Dad if he were living - would view it from a perspective based on trust in the Lordâ€™s faithfulness and goodness, because they knew that God is always showing us His love, even if He has an unusual way of expressing it sometimes. More than anything God wants us to be with Him forever in the joy of Heaven. Everything that happens here and now on earth is preparation for spending eternity with Him. Our every response and reaction to this test of trust has eternal implications, which may only come to light when our earthly life is at an end. With Godâ€™s grace in meeting the challenge of our trials, we will experience what St. James wrote about, â€œBlessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.â€? We thank you Lord, for your love for us, and we love you too. Please be with us now and provide the grace to face our trials today and tomorrow.

Health network expands patient initiative North Dakota Health Information Exchange (HIE) director Shila Blend announced July 13 that the stateâ€™s Health Information Network (HIN) has expanded its reach through the Patient Centered Data Home (PCDH) initiative. The PCDH effort broadens the health information exchange footprint across the region and nation, providing more seamless exchange of patient-centered data between and among providers. NDHIN has completed technical testing with the Quality Health Network, the Western Hub of the PCDH. The Western Hub connects to the Central and Eastern Hubs through Regional Gateway Connections. There are 45 HIEs participating in PCDH across the nation, serving a population of 177 million with over one billion event notifications exchanged to date. The PCDH is a cost-effective, scalable method of exchanging patient data among HIEs nationally. It is based on a triggering episode alert, which notifies providers if a care event occurred outside of the patientâ€™s home HIE and confirms the availability and specific location of the clinical data, enabling providers to initiate additional data exchanges to access real-time information across state and regional lines and the care continuum. Key PCDH features include:

â€˘Provides a vehicle to close the loop and communicate seamlessly on care when a patient is seen outside their normal care area; â€˘Enables nationwide access to patient information that follows the patient and facilitates better treatment; â€˘Links existing communities of trust established by health information exchanges; â€˘Preserves local governance and protects information. â€˘Serves as a key element of the Strategic Health Information Exchange Collaborative that puts into practice the vision that clinical data should be available whenever and wherever care occurs. In this model, all clinical data becomes part of the comprehensive longitudinal patient record in the HIE where the patient resides. The NDHIN team has also been at the center of North Dakotaâ€™s COVID-19 response efforts as a key ND Department of Health partner. The NDHIN system has the capability to notify medical professionals in real time when a patient is admitted or discharged from the hospital, presents at an emergency department or has an abnormal lab or radiology result. This information is helpful to public health case workers in coordinating a timely response to positive and negative COVID-19 testing.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department completed its 73rd annual spring breeding duck survey in May and results showed an index of nearly 4 million birds, up 18% from last year.

Spring Duck Survey Results

While there was no shortage of bad news during the uncertain times this spring, there was good news for ducks and hunters across the prairies of North Dakota. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department completed its 73rd annual spring breeding duck survey in May and results showed an index of nearly four million birds, up 18% from last year. Mike Szymanski, Department migratory game bird supervisor, said despite most waterfowl surveys in North America being canceled this spring, Game and Fish was able to adjust to continue this longterm data set. â€œCrews were turned into single-person crews to make sure there was only one person in a vehicle, and we changed some of the route assignments to accommodate increased driving distances and workloads, but still maintained overlap with our fall wetland survey routes,â€? Szymanski said. â€œIt was definitely quite a bit more work, and we are grateful that our crew members were up for the challenge.â€? This springâ€™s wetland index was the sixth highest on record and the breeding duck index was the 13th highest, both are highs since 2014. For the second year in a row, the number of temporary and seasonal wetlands was substantially higher than the previous year, as figures show the spring water index is up 65% from last year. The water index is based on basins with water and does not necessarily represent the amount of water contained in wetlands or the type of wetlands represented.

The Bowman County 4-H and NDSU Extension, Bowman County, would like to thank all of our 4-H leaders, families, volunteers, sponsors, buyers and the Bowman County Fair board for making the 2020 Bowman County 4-H Achievement Days a success!

â€œNot surprisingly, we found really good wetland conditions during this yearâ€™s survey,â€? Szymanski said. â€œWe had an unusually large amount of rain last fall, but have really been drying up since, especially in the western half of the state. The eastern half of North Dakota is still incredibly wet, and wetland numbers in the western half of the state are still in pretty good shape despite some drying.â€? The breeding population survey results indicate numbers for all primary species, except redheads (down 12%), were stable to up from 2019 estimates. Ruddy ducks were up 87%, green-winged teal were at a record high (up 66%) and blue-winged teal were up 58%. Mallards were unchanged. All other ducks ranged from down 2% (pintails) to up 40% (scaup) from last yearâ€™s numbers. All species, except pintails, which were down slightly, were well-above the 72-year average. â€œConditions that we have seen since 1994 seem to be the new normal with more precipitation and higher duck numbers,â€? Szymanski said. â€œThis yearâ€™s ranking of our breeding population is a pretty good sign as our 13 highest duck counts are all within the last 26 years. When you start getting around the 4 million range, you are talking about very, very good duck numbers. So, it is good to see us getting back to the middle of the road for the new normal.â€? Later this July, the brood survey numbers will give waterfowl biologists a better idea of duck production and insight into expectations for fall, Szymanski said, though hunting success is also influenced by bird movements before and during hunting seasons, and weather patterns during the fall migration.

Strategies to conserve sagebrush

More than 100 people showed up for the Burgers in the Park event July 16 at the Bowman City Park. It was a fundraiser for the Sunrise Foundation. The next event will be held Aug. 20 in Bowman City Park from 5 to 7 p.m. PHOTO/Brad Mosher

Sunrise Foundation cooks up funds with Burgers in the Park Staff Report

The Sunrise Foundation was cooking up funds July 16 when they hosted the Burgers in the Park in the evening and drew more than 100 hungry people. The event was held in Bowman City Park with Ron Palczewski handling the grill and trying to keep up with the demand as people lined up to choose from a hamburger, cheeseburger or hot dog. There will be more Burgers in the Park in Bowman, they are scheduled for Aug. 20 and Sept. 17. In addition, Scranton will have its own Burgers in the Park on July 22, July 29, Aug. 5, Aug. 12, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26 at Murray Park. The event is hosted by the Scranton Lions Club from 5 to 7 p.m.

The Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), with its conservation partners, invites those living, working or invested in the sagebrush ecosystem to participate in an online, on-demand workshop through July 27. Organizers goals are to identify innovative, voluntary and collaborative strategies that address sagebrush conservation challenges. Sagebrush, a pungent, woody shrub found in arid areas of the western United States, is the namesake of an extremely endangered ecosystem. Sagebrush landscapes are home to more than 350 species of wildlife, some of which are completely dependent on sagebrush for food and cover. Before settlement, sagebrush likely occurred on over 96 million acres across 13 states and 3 Canadian Provinces. The current distribution is about 60 million acres and much of what remains has been impacted by invasive plants or human infrastructure. The loss and degradation of areas formerly dominated by sagebrush has contributed to declines in wildlife that depends on sagebrush, including iconic western species such as mule deer, and other species which have been petitioned for listing under the Endangered Species Act in the past such as greater sage-grouse and pygmy rabbits. The Sagebrush Executive Oversight Committee (Sagebrush EOC), comprised of leaders of Federal Land Management and Natural Resource Agencies and State Wildlife Agencies, was formed to coordinate conservation activities for sagebrush. The Sagebrush Conservation Strategy is being developed under the direction of the Sagebrush EOC to provide a guidance document for the management of sagebrush landscapes. A critical component of this Strategy is input from stakeholders

on conservation actions that address challenges to the ecosystem and that would be actively supported in local areas across the landscape. The online workshop (https://sagebrushconservationworkshop.participate.online/) extends a series of virtual workshops convened in May, where over 100 stakeholders developed promising, potential actions to address sagebrush conservation challenges across the West. During the virtual workshops, scientists, landowners, land managers, industry leaders, communicators, and community members focused on conservation challenges related to wildfire, invasive weeds, land use, conifer expansion and mining and energy through informational presentations and breakout work sessions. The current online workshop offers an opportunity to solicit additional feedback on actions identified during the May workshops, and invites the public to offer other conservation actions to be considered for inclusion in the final strategy. You can participate in identifying approaches to conservation of sagebrush by clicking on the link (https://sagebrushconservationworkshop.participate.online/) and evaluating proposed actions or identifying new ones. The site will be open from June 30 through July 27. “Sagebrush conservation requires essential partnerships. We believe engaging sagebrush community members who are closest to the problem will lead to successful, barrier-busting approaches.” - Tony Wasley, Director of Nevada Department of Wildlife. For more information on the online workshop, or the development of the Sagebrush Conservation Strategy, please contact San Stiver, WAFWA, at san.stiver@ wafwa.org.

Farmers Union Insurance announcement

North Dakota Farmers Union Insurance based in Jamestown, ND announced that Marcus Fischer of Bowman was a top five producer of New FUMI Commercial Lines Sales for the company for the month of May.

Volunteers who helped install a Great Western Trail obelisk at the Trappers Kettle in Belfield include, from left: John Heinen, Dickinson Rotary; Kim Shade, Medora rancher; Jim Ozbun, Dickinson Rotary; Jim Lowman, rancher; Darrell Dorgan, Bismarck; John Hanson, Amidon rancher; and Larry Schnell, Dickinson. Work began on the first segment of the Great Western Trail in North Dakota July 12 with two crews. A work-crew with Bowman area volunteers began at the North Dakota/South Dakota State line heading North. Another crew, with volunteers from the Dickinson/Medora area began by heading south from Belfield. Trail project manager Darrell Dorgan says 13 concrete obelisks marking the trail route

along Highway #85 were set in concrete marking the North Dakota segment of the Texas to Canada Trail. Three black marble plaques detailing the trail’s rich western history were also implanted. The markers explaining the trail history are at the North Dakota/South Dakota border, the courthouse in Amidon and at the Trappers Kettle in Belfield. Another plaque will be paced at Bowman’s visitor center. The work crews were made up of nearly 30 ranchers, historians, Rotarians and members of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame. The trail which runs for more than 2,000 miles through eight

states from Mexico to Canada has already been marked all the way through Texas and Oklahoma and other states are organizing to mark the route that was used to move millions of cattle and horses north from the 1870s into the 1890s. Dorgan says, “We hope to organize and mark the trail from Belfield to Watford City the end of September and then from Watford to Fort Buford next spring”. Anyone interested in having a marker on their land along #85 or helping with the effort, should go to the group’s website at ndgreatwesterncattletrail.com and sign-up. He notes, “Many of the cattle from the Great Western Trail reached North Dakota in the early 1880s and 90s and became the foundation for the state’s vibrant ranching industry that exists today.” Others who’ve joined the North Dakota effort include Bowman, ND tourism promotion groups and local Rotary Clubs. Rotary organizations from Texas and Oklahoma began the project and Rotary clubs along the trail are continuing to participate. Dorgan, who was the first director of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame and spearheaded the effort to build the western heritage center in Medora, insisted Jim Ozbun be part of the on-going effort. The former NDSU President, whose mater-

nal grandfather came up the trail in the 1890s as a young drover says, “Rotary clubs across the country are backing the project. The trail in North Dakota paralleled Highway #85 and it’s an irreplaceable part of our history that could have been lost if it hadn’t been formally marked.” Ozbun also notes, “Major help has been provided by the Dickinson Ready Mix Company and owner Scott Olin. They have built and donated more than 50 of the concrete obelisks to mark the trail. Doug Braun, products division manager for Dickinson Ready Mix, was instrumental in the project.” Dorgan, noting Olin is a major backer of tourism projects and an incredible historian, says the gift by Dickinson Ready Mix is valued in the thousands of dollars. Area ranchers Steve Brooks and John Hanson of Amidon also stepped forward and signedup other ranchers who allowed trail makers on their land along Highway 85 and headed the two work crews. A barbecue was held at Hanson’s famous Logging Camp Ranch west of Medora following completion of the first 80-mile segment. Anyone interested in participating in the project with financial contributions or setting posts can go to the group’s website at ndgreatwesterncattletrail. com and view the project’s history and plans.

Approximately 90% of the heads are inoperable. Vail said Mendoza Plumbing has 4 hours of working on repairs, what does the Commission want him to do? Vail will get a written quote from Mendoza Plumbing on the repairs that are needed and bring it to the next meeting.

Coli Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) report for the Little Missouri River in Billings, Golden Valley and

Slope Counties, North Dakota. 1. Summary Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and its accompanying regulations (CFR Part 130 Section 7) requires each state to identify waterbodies (i.e., lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, and wetlands) which are considered water quality limited and require load allocations, waste load allocations, or total maximum daily loads. A waterbody is considered water quality limited when its water quality does not meet applicable water quality standards or is not expected to meet applicable water quality standards. Waterbodies can be water quality limited due to point sources of pollution, non-point sources of pollution, or both. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads for waterbodies that are water quality limited and listed on the state’s Section 303(d) list. This list has become known as the “TMDL list” or “Section 303(d) list.” Following an opportunity for public comment, the state must submit TM DLs to the EPA Regional Administrator. The EPA Regional Administrator then has 30 days to either approve or disapprove the TMDL. The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comment prior to formally submitting the E. coli bacteria TMDL report to the EPA Regional Administrator. 2. Public Comments

Sally the Supreme Cow

Written by Sarah Walker

July 23, 2020 - Today, in 1951, one little cow from North Dakota was living as a normal cow lives. Sally the cow practiced the three m’s - mooing, moving and being milked - and was relatively happy. By the next day, however, that one little cow had hit the big time. Sally set the first world record in butterfat production by a North Dakota cow. She completed a year’s production record as a senior 4-year-old with 16,439 pounds of 5.2 milk, containing in it 846 pounds of butterfat. The last world record set was 834 pounds of buttermilk. The average for all cows milked in the state was 173 pounds, and in the U.S., the average was 200 pounds. Sally’s story hit papers across the United States by the next day, where Meyer reported that her amazing feat was due to twice-daily milkings, part of an official herd improvement registry test. He placed a value of $5,000 dollars on Sally.

When he bought her three years prior, he paid $250 dollars for her. Sally’s roots traced back to “the famed O.K. Spires herd at Minot,” papers reported, and she lived off of a special diet of three to five pounds of beet pulp each day, as well as a 12-15 percent protein grain concentrate mixture and hay. Meyer’s treatment of Sally was not unlike the cows of the rest of the herd, and on average, he reported the milk’s content to average out at about 485.4 pounds of butterfat. He also credited Leverne Neuschwander, who helped milk the cow twice a day, every day. Others whom he listed in the “production crew” were Clarence C. Olson, an NDAC extension dairyman who supervised Sally’s output on behalf of the Guernsey club, and Dr. Glenn C. Holm, NDAC veterinarian who provided medical counsel. It was a lot of excitement for one cow. Her picture even appeared in the paper. One thing was for certain, though: Meyer milked Sally for all she was worth.
