Canned green tomatoes, if you can find them

umpkins reveal themselves in these days of autumn cool nights and warm sunny afternoons. Hidden under enormous hairy leaves until that day when Jack Frost steals the green from them, gardeners never really know how many are hiding out there. Now that the leaves are shrinking into curly dried scraps, we can begin to count our bounty. That goes for most produce this time of year. I found a rogue cucumber vine so tightly entangled in a monster-sized zucchini plant that the cukes have laid undiscovered until this past weekend. Most of By Sue B. the pale unnatural looking vegetables were Balcom the size of a quick bread loaf. Definitely not good for eating. The zucchini bush itself was an unbelievable size. What I thought was pumpkin sprawl in the west end of the garden, was an out-of-control zucchini. There were enough small squash on that vine to salvage, and give away (and I did). The tomatoes produced slowly this summer. They like thunderstorms and we had a few early in the season. Lighting produces nitrogen in the air that makes tomato

plants flourish. It was too cold this summer until the end of August when the tomatoes began to ripen about two weeks late. We had a small crop of tomatoes to eat. Theres nothing quite as tasty. The ones in the supermarkets taste like cardboard by comparison. One of our bedtime snacks growing up in Fredonia was sliced tomatoes with sugar sprinkled on them. We ate a great deal of fresh vegetables, strawberries, chokecherries and rhubarb because my mom had a huge garden. She canned and froze whatever we couldnt consume, something I am now in the process of doing. My goal is to fill every jar in the house and then I wont be doing anything but opening them in the winter months so I can enjoy some time off. I do enjoy fresh salsa and some years I make a green tomato salsa that rocks. All you need is those stubborn tomatoes that dont ripen by the first hard freeze and your jalapeno peppers. This year, I may not have any green tomatoes with all the soft weather we are having. I love it... Heres the recipe in case your garden leaves you with an abundance of green tomatoes and you dont like them fried. Since there seems to be an abundance of green tomatoes this season, I will share my special salsa recipe... it is really good.

Trees and shrubs
Now is a great time to plant trees and shrubs. Plant evergreens by the end of September so they are established before winter comes. Most leafy trees and shrubs can be safely planted in October. Mountain ash is a beautiful tree, especially this time of year when their orange berries begin to glow. The berries are especially attractive to cedar waxwings. Mountain ash provides year-round color: clusters of white flowers in spring, brilliant orange berries now, golden leaves in fall, and glistening bark in winter. Unfortunately the tree is short-lived, particularly when planted in hot, dry soils. Avoid planting the tree in such areas. Keep the roots cool with shredded bark mulching. Lilacs often develop a gray powder on their leaves during fall. This is powdery mildew, an unsightly but fairly harmless fungus. Fungicide sprays can be applied to prevent further infection. A better longterm solution is to regu-

Jefferson visits Valley

n Jenkinson portrays Jefferson at VCSU in October
Valley City State University What In The World is Going On? will host Clay Jenkinson as Jefferson at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the Vangstad Auditorium on campus. Clay Jenkinson, a humanities scholar, and award winning first person interpreter of Thomas Jefferson will portray Jefferson and answer questions while in the persona of Jefferson. His performances are always humorous, educational, thought provoking and enlightening. Clay Jenkinson has been honored by two presidents for his work. On November 6, 1989, he received from President George Bush one of the first five Charles Frankel Prizes, the National Endowment for the Humanities highest award (now called the National Humanities Medal), at the nomination of the NEH Chair, Lynne Cheney. On April 11, 1994, he was the first public humanities scholar to present a program at a White House-sponsored event when he presented Thomas Jefferson for a gathering hosted by President and Mrs. Clinton. When award-winning humanities documentary producer Ken Burns turned his attention to Thomas Jefferson, he asked Clay Jenkinson to be the major humanities commentator. Since his first work with the North Dakota Humanities Council in the late 1970s, including a pioneering first-person interpretation of Meriwether Lewis, Clay Jenkinson has made thousands of presentations throughout the United States and its territories, including Guam and the Northern Marianas. In 2008, Clay became the director of The Dakota Institute through The Lewis & Clark, Fort Mandan Foundation, to further expand his humanities programs with documentary films, symposiums and literary projects. He is also the Chief Consultant for the Theodore Roosevelt Center through Dickinson State University and conducts an annual lecture series for Bismarck State College. This event is free and open to all.

Who do you think HE is?

I
n the midst of a world in which so many people are lost and deny the very existence of God I sometimes wonder, How can this be? I believe that part of that answer comes because many people have never heard about the true character of the God of the Bible. They have heard many things about God but the one described is a caricature of the true God described in Scripture. I believe that the pop-culture caricature of God has created someone that is not worth serving and following By The Rev. but that the God of the Bible is cerDennis Norby tainly worth following. That is one of the reasons that I have appreciated the above verses. In just a few short phrases, the prophet Micah declares wonderful truths about the character of God. We learn so much about who God truly is in this passage. Numerous myths and caricatures can be dispelled so we can believe in the one true God. Micah 7:18-20 says, Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgressions of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. You will be true to Jacob, and show mercy to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our fathers in days long ago. One of the characteristics we learn of is that God is a pardoning and forgiving God. Micah knows that this is unique among the false teachings of his day and truly this is unique among the false teachings of today. Micah asks the rhetorical question, Who is a God like you? The obvious answer is there is no other. The

ello Barnes County. September is library card signup month. According to a PEW Internet and American Life study, 58 percent of Americans age 16 and older have a library card and even more69 percentsay the library is important to them and their families. Here in Barnes County our library card numbers are about 36 percent of the population which begs the question; what happened to the other 20 percent? By the way, if you have a card but have not used it in the last three years you are not part of the 36 percent. Asking the question why are our numbers are below national average is counterproductive since it does not address the real issues. Instead the question that needs to be asked is; what products or services do we need to provide to get people to come in and keep them coming back. For-profit businesses spend countless hours and millions of dollars every year to answer this question. They look at market saturation, cost competitiveness, product quality, and numerous other factors. I look at similar data to answer these questions as well. Lets use the stereotypical library product as an example; books. Do we have the product in stock? More specifically, do we have a diverse collection that meets the diverse needs and interests of our community? If not, perhaps thats where some or all our missing 20 percent resides. Its complex to say the least. What about the 69 percent mentioned above? The members of the population who say the library is important to them and their families. Where do you fall in this group? Are you a passive supporter? You pay your property tax, which works out to about $75 per year for a family of four; with the understanding the library does good things for the community even though you dont often use it. By the way, thank you. Without your tax dollars we would not OPEN MONDAY-SATURDAY exist. What about active supporters? More importantly how can you become an active supporter?

people around Israel worshipped gods but not ones who were ready to forgive. Even today the concept of knowing that we can be or have been forgiven is foreign to many religions. But our Lord is not just forgiving and pardoning; He delights in showing mercy. We also learn that even as God delights in showing mercy to those who trust in Him; He is merciless to sin. In verse 19 God is described as one who will, tread our sins underfoot and hurl our iniquities into the depths of the sea. The picture of someone treading our sins brings to mind a smashing defeat. The only thing that God desires to do to sin in our lives is to rid us of it. He has gone to the greatest effort to make this possible. In His great mercy He sacrificed His son Jesus Christ that we might be reconciled to God. I very much enjoy the description of God dealing with our sin in this phrase as well, hurl our iniquities in the depths of the sea. When I was in seminary one of my classmates was a former Olympic athlete. His name was Zakayo Malekwa and he participated for his home nation of Tanzania in the 1980, 84, and 88 Olympics. When Zak was competing he would hurl a javelin through the air as far as he could. These were not soft tosses that he made but would attempt to cast the javelin as far as possible. That is what God has done for those who believe in Jesus Christ. Our sins are hurled the greatest distance possible to a place where they are never to be recovered, the depth of the sea. Jesus did that for you.

Sodbusters Days at Fort Ransom - living history...

Photos courtesy of Amanda Fickes ansom Countys Sodbuster Days was held last weekend as a living history event at Fort Ransom. Many early pioneer village activities are conducted as they were originally performedfrom the early 20th century to the1950s. The uniqueness of the pioneer daysshowcases the beginning of mechanization and innovations that revolutionized the American farm. The antique machinery exhibit is a permanent display on the grounds. Visitors can climb in to the back of a horse-drawn (Belgian and Percheron horses)wagon for a short ride around the farm, pick potatoesor pick up a pitchfork and feed grain into the threshing machine. Sodbuster Days are held each year the second full weekend in July and the first full weekend after Labor Day. Septembers event features hay, potato and grain harvest activities.

The Sageng: A 1/3 scale replica of a Sageng self-propelled thresher. Twenty-one of these machines were built from 1908 to 1912 at the Sageng plant in St. Paul, Minn. This was the only thresher with return flow stacks. The inventor was Rev. Halvor Sageng, Dalton, Minn. The model was built by Alfred Steidl, Lorne Lund and Keenan Lund.
A smaller cannon was used to shoot baseballs across the field. After 10 shots were fired, youngsters ran out to find the balls. If they found one, they could trade it in for a silver dollar. It proved to be quite a race. Satuday evening was topped off with live music and dancing at the Military Ball.

n the 1880s hundreds of towns in Dakota Territory were striving to establish themselves. Valley City was among those that succeeded, but quite a few others were not. Some were never more than names on a map. Many were platted but were never built, while others developed to a certain point, then failedone reason being that they were built in anticipation of being on a rail line that never happened. It was vitally important at that time for towns to attract as many settlers as possible. Promotional materials were developed and distributed to land sales companies and other key organizations and individuBy Dennis als, particularly to those folks out east Stillings and back in Europe. These materials noted not just the resources and benefits that already existed in this part of the world, but those that were being proposedwith little distinction being made between what was actually in existence and what was only hoped for. In 1874 the future town of Valley City was platted by the Puget Sound Co. and then re-platted by Northern Pacific Land Examining Company in 1878, but in 1874 Valley City was just a town on paper. Development started out slow: a post office was built in 1876, the first store opened in 1877, and five houses had appeared by 1878. In 1879 things really began to take off: The first courthouse was built, the first newspaperthe Northern Pacific Timesbegan publication, Ole Knutson opened the first jewelry store, and the first Catholic mass was offered in a railroad section car.

SCHMID: LOOKING BACK FROM THE LEFT COAST
Some comments and critiques on North Dakotas currant affairs

By Schmid empest in a teapot?A wild-eyed man wants to take over the ND town of Leith (pop 19), become mayor and rename the town Cobbsville. Its said that white supremacist Craig Paul Cobb (61) has acquired 13 lots in Leith and wants to turn it into an allwhite enclave. But wait, arent Leith and Grant County (2,400) already an all-white enclave? Terrified Leith residents claim to have been unaware they were being taken over until aroused by a reporter from the Southern Poverty Law Center. In case you want to intervene, you will find Leith about 35 miles south of New Salem, which is on I-94 (turn when you see Salem Sue, the big fiberglass cow). The dangers lurking in Leith juiced political activists. Inveterate letter writer Vicki Voldal Rosenau of Valley City solicited donations for the Southern Poverty Law Center crediting them with making Nodaks aware of the evil festering in

OPINION: ROB PORT
Leith. AFBs in the region are going through a rough patch. Minot AFB had a series of missteps in recent years; in June, a commander was relieved after an exceptionally poor review of his missile wing. A commander at Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls was removed in August for similar reasons. As mentioned last week, Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City lost a $300 million bomber at a practice area in southeastern Montana. We are seeing some reversal of business that flowed to China. Wages have risen in China and the delay and expense of shipping from there is causing second thoughts. Ultra Green is a company that makes food containers and other products from sugar cane in China. Later this year, the company will be making those products from wheat straw in a former pasta plant in Devils Lake and expects to hire 100 employees. Northern Plains Nitrogen is a proposed $1.5 billion fertilizer plant near

BALL In FALL: from 17
or the past couple of weeks now an attempt by a white supremacist named Craig Cobb to take over Leith, North Dakota by buying up cheap property and encouraging other racists to move in has made headlines nationally. As well it should. Local residents need to be By Rob aware of Port what is happening in their backyard. Nationally, people need to be aware of this tactic that could be used elsewhere. Though, as Ive pointed out before, being disgusting racists doesnt mean that these people have lost their rights under the law. As hard as it must be, they must be treated equally under the law. But heres the thing: At some point we need to realize that the attention these bigots get fulfills something they need even more desperately than a community to live in and practice their hate together: Notoriety for their hatred. The latest headline in the story has Jeff Schoep, allegedly the leader of a group called the National Socialist Movement, going to Leith on September 22nd. His stated goal is to support Cobbs right to buy up property. Hes already written a letter to the mayor of that small town arguing that Cobb, despite his beliefs, is entitled to the same legal rights as everyone else. Schoep is right on that point, but its unlikely that this is his true goal. More
likely is that Schoep, like a long line of charlatans before him, is just looking for attention. Cobbs situation fits the bill. For those who exist on the social and political margins, for those who traffic in hatred, attention is like oxygen. Their causes attract few adherents. Their ideas are unpopular. But what they cant achieve in the marketplace of ideas can be achieved through the media coverage of their outrageous antics. The best example of this is the Westboro Baptist Church. This virulent group of miscreants masquerading as a church is little more than a hate cult. Theyd probably be unknown outside of Topeka, Kansas, where they are headquartered were it not for their nasty protests featuring the most disgusting epithets targeting gays, US soldiers and others. This group claims that the 9/11 terror attacks were Gods retribution toward America for homosexuality (a view they no doubt share with many of the adherents of extremist Islam who helped perpetrate those attacks). Theyve also made headlines by protesting the funerals of fallen soldiers, arguing that their deaths too are a punishment from heaven. These activities disgust the majority of Americans. But they also capture our attention. The media covers them. Pundits discuss them. Say what you want about the Westboro Baptist folks, they are pretty good at creating buzz.
North Dakotans saw an example of that talent in 2011 when news broke of the Westboro bigots planning to protest a performance of The Laramie Project, a politically-themed play aimed at promoting hate crimes legislation. It turned out that the protest wasnt something the church was really planning. Rather, it was a misguided attempt by some of the students putting on the play to create some publicity. But that didnt stop the Westboro bigots from playing along. When reached by media to confirm the protest, they said that they had been planning to show up. That wasnt true, but they saw an opportunity to get a few more headlines for their cause and pounced. Which brings us back to Leith. Mr. Schoep sees an opportunity and hes pouncing. The Leith story has been reported across the nation and discussed on television and talk radio. But the story will fade from the national consciousness if not stoked properly. Thus, Mr. Schoeps goal. Expect him to say or do outrageous things while in North Dakota, and expect the media to dutifully report it. Theres not much we can do about it. Sensational things sell copy. But we should also keep in mind that every new headline we give these people, every minute of broadcast time devoted to them, is another gallon of gasoline to get their hate parade a few more miles down the road.

Einar Stamstead stumbled in late. His dirty knees indicated that he was digging his carrot crop. His trousers appeared to be sitting while he was standing. Ork rapped a Coke bottle on his makeshift table to silence the chatter that echoed across the cavernous chamber. As you know, each of us is supposed to have one suggestion to reinvigorate this community, Ork announced. Who wants to start?? Well, I heard about this town somewhere in North Dakota where this guy wants to start a hate colony, Torvald explained. They sold vacant lots - which we got some of - and got a bunch of publicity so I thought we might do something to take advantage of all the hate floating around these days. We need to inventory our hate before we start something we cant finish, Josh Dvorchak cautioned. .How many people in this room have enough hate to get a starter colony going? Torvald asked. Come on. Everybody has a hate. Nobody confessed. Well, I used to hate the Swedes because they kept beating up on Norway but there arent any Swedes around these parts so my hate just petered out, Einar explained, brushing the dirt off of his trousers. Who are we supposed to hate to make up a colony? queried Old Sievert.

Easy to Prepare
All varieties of beans are super-easy to prepare. Simply put a pot of salted water on to boil, and while its heating up, remove the tips and tails, and snap the beans into 2-inch lengths. Then drop them into the boiling water and taste-test after 3-4 minutes. A tiny Tres Fin will take less time than a standard green bean, which will take less time than a Romano. Keep testing every minute or so until the beans are no longer crunchy, but just barely tender. After you drain the beans, toss them with plain butter, herbed butter, or garlic mayonnaise and serve. Or try this great combination of summery tomatoes and beans.

North Dakotans are afforded the opportunity to fish F

or good reason, the State Game and Fish Department makes every effort to explain waterfowl hunting rules and regulations that hunters will need to know as they take the field this fall. This includes daily bag limits, species restrictions, season lengths, special zones and hunting hours. Most of these areas of interest are set within frameworks established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. But North Dakota has other rules that apply to waterfowl hunters, as well as anglers and summer recreation boaters when it comes to aquatic nuisance species. The challenge of preventing spread of ANS within or into North Dakota is great, and the responsibility lies with all of us who use state waters for recreation or work. It doesnt take Dick Tracy to figure out that stopping your kitchen sink from leaking is cheaper and a better alternative than waiting until the leak becomes a complete break. And ANS prevention fits into the same philosophy. Ive had people tell me that even with known ANS, their fishing hasnt suffered and is actually better in North Dakota now than ever before. While that may be true, North Dakota doesnt have many locations where ANS have taken over yet. In most cases, the initial presence of ANS doesnt immediately influence a fishery.Its more like a slow death, with a waterway slowly losing its integrity and value as habitat for fish and waterfowl as well. The change can be so slow that by the time we realize that ANS is a real problem, it is too late to do anything about it. In most cases, once a water is infested it will likely never be completely rid of the nuisance species. Not only does this degrade the water itself, it also makes the water a potential source for infestation of other areas. All boaters and water recreators must understand that in North Dakota and other states, it is now illegal to transport aquatic vegetation. Heres a rundown on how this applies to waterfowl hunters and fall anglers. Remove all aquatic vegetation at the site. Period. Most people have no problem recognizing the seaweed on duck boat trailers or engine propellers, but all aquatic vegetation must be taken off before leaving. That includes decoy weights and By strings that can easily transport a threat, Doug Leier and waders that might be carrying plant fragments. This rule does not include emergent (above water) vegetation like cattails and bulrushes used for making hunting blinds. Drain water from all places. This is not just for boat users. It could be a floating decoy with a hole in it, literally anything holding water the bottom of the boat, the decoy bag, even if you fall in with your waders, begin the dry-out process by emptying those out too. And one last reminder for fall fishing, theres plenty of warm October days. At least we hope so, and even when nobody is looking, or you have the lake all to yourself, please dont dump your bait into the lake. Most bait vendors do a great job of keeping the minnows free of ANS, but all it takes is one little bullhead or one seed from an unknown ANS to ruin a waterway. We want to leave a heritage of hunting, not a legacy of what hunting once was. Part of that is maintaining habitat NDGF Photograph above the water, but habitat in the water is just as imporThe challenge of preventing spread of ANS tant. within or into North Dakota is great, and the Leier is a biologist for the Game and Fish Department. responsibility lies with all of us who use state He can be reached by email: dleier@nd.gov waters for recreation or work

Game and Fish summarizes pheasant data

North Dakotas roadside pheasant survey conducted in late July and August indicates total birds, number of broods and average brood size are all down statewide from 2012. Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, said the survey shows total pheasants are down 30 percent from last year. In addition, brood observations were down 29 percent, and the average brood size was down 10 percent. The final summary is based on 253 survey runs made along 101 brood routes across North Dakota. Poor production this spring resulted in fewer young birds added to the population and a lower fall population in all areas of the state, Kohn said. Noteworthy factors cited for the decrease in brood

numbers, according to Kohn, were continued land use changes in the prime pheasant range, including removal of Conservation Reserve Program acres, grasslands converted to croplands and small grain fields converted to row crops; and continuous wet spring weather. Earlier this summer we thought it was possible that nesting season was delayed enough to avoid an influence from the cold, wet spring, Kohn said, but it now appears that wasnt the case. Kohn said even though statistics reveal bird numbers are down statewide, there will still be local areas with good pheasant populations. Statistics from southwestern North Dakota indicate the number of birds observed was down 25 percent from

Autumn, the years last, loveliest smile. - William Cullen Bryant
Three keys for doves

he warm evenings of early fall herald the start of bird hunting seasons. But before grouse and pheasant take center stage, the flight of the mourning dove begins. These small migratory birds which range across North America are for many the first bird hunt of the autumn, and the first upland game season of the year. In Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, the birds darken the sky at times like so many thunderstorms across the southern prairies. In our area of the northern prairie, where doves are often up and gone on their migratory flights before their season ends in late October, the flocks dont seem nearly as large. To make the most of this season shortened by migratory timing, and by the demands of other hunting seasons hunters should key in on three key things to increase their odds of success while hunting doves. Those factors are water sources, tree cover and food. Putting this trio together will get more birds in range and make each hunt more enjoyable. Whether its a stock pond or a natural waterway, doves need a place to drink and, efforts to intercept their movements during low light hours should focus on water. Some of my favorite hunting spots have been man-made cattle

ponds with a few trees or small stands of scrub around them. The trees provide cover for your position, and the branches allow for a nice decoy spread, and the water is a natural draw to mourning doves. It also helps with a hunt when there are a number of tree claims nearby. It could be a By Nick farm grove, a shelterbelt or a river bottom Simonson that gives these birds a place to hang out throughout the day. During high-travel periods, doves will move from one set of trees to another and if your hunting spot is set between them, youll be able to pick up on where birds frequently move. Additionally, during the day, Ive had a great amount of success simply by walking shelterbelts along fields, with certain ones being most productive. Those productive belts are generally near small grain fields such as wheat, or fields of oil crops such as canola and sunflowers. These food sources are favorites of the mourning dove, as they are small-seeded, easy to eat and packed with energy for their upcoming journey south. By this time, most wheat fields are harvested, but the abundance of kernels cast off from those activities draws birds in, sometimes even after the areas have been tilled. An increasing challenge in the upper Midwest is locating these fields, as the amount of acres in corn and soy plantings are pushing wheat and oil seed crops to the side, making setting up near such a resource difficult. The best bet is to find such a field in mid-summer, mark it on a map and triangulate your position with the nearest water source and tree cover for the best success.

In whats viewed as a major change, area college baseball teams will now be able to play games in the fall. The Executive Committee of the North Star Athletic Association approved a plan Monday that allows Valley City State and the four other conference schools to schedule baseball games this fall that count towards their overall record for the 2014 season. Previously, teams have played all their competitive games in the spring. The new rule should allow NSAA schools to play more games, and have better weather and field conditions.NAIA rules allow baseball teams to play up to 55 games in a season, but because of the short spring in North and South Dakota, it is extremely rare for area teams to get close to that number. NSAA schools would be the first to play counting games in the fall. VCSU head coach Casey Olney, who is chair of the

Then we have the party based on the theme of Washingtons birthday! I doubt that many of us would even think to celebrate that! A lot of effort must have gone into the table decorations. I had to investigate exactly what a cockade was and learned it was a decoration usually made from ribbon in the form of a badge which was often worn on hats or lapels. The pho-

Do not remove faded blooms from hardy rose bushes in September. The maturation of the flower seed pods, called rose hips (shown), will increase the hardiness of the bush. The hips look beautiful in winter, too. Many spring-blooming perennials are dying back now. Trim away their foliage once its yellowed. September is a good time to divide these plants. Lift gladiolus corms when leaves begin to brown. Dry in the sun for a few days before storing indoors overwinter. Mid-August to mid-September is the best time of the year to sow grass or lay sod. The ground is warm and the seeds will germinate quickly. As a bonus, weeds are less likely to germinate in lawns established in fall compared to lawns established in spring. Choose a seed mix with a blend of grasses. Most seed blends will include varieties of Kentucky bluegrass, fine/red fescues, and perennial ryegrass. Kentucky bluegrass is a hardy grass that is recommended for sunny areas. The fine/red fescues are best for shade. Perennial ryegrass is useful since it germinates rapidly and stabilizes the soil until the other lawn grasses emerge. Fall is the most important time to fertilize your lawn. Lawns are actively growing and will develop most of their roots this time of year. If you fertilize your lawn only once a year, do so in early September. For higher maintenance lawns, a follow-up fertilization in mid-October is also recommended. Lawn aeration is like us getting a massage: most of us would enjoy it, but we really dont need it. If your soil is hard and compacted, fall is the best time to aerate it. Aerated lawns will respond with vigorous root growth until the ground freezes. Many persons overseed immediate after aeration. If overseeding, do this by mid-September. Creeping Charlie is difficult to control. MidSeptember to mid-October is the best time to control it. Use broadleaf weed killers that contain dicamba (this includes Trimec formulations). Give the chemical a couple weeks to work. If that doesnt kill it, use a broadleaf weed killing products that contains triclopyr. Daffodil (also known as narcissus) bulbs areliterally narcotics. Deer and squirrels just say no and wont disturb daffodils. Many spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils are native to Europe and Asia. If you are looking for a flower native to the USA, consider camassia, often called wild hyacinth. It produces beautiful blue or white spikes. The bulbs themselves were an important source of food for the Lewis and Clark Expedition team. Avoid fertilizing perennials now. We dont want to create a flush of growth that will be subject to winterkill. Too much fertilizer may also prevent perennials from hardening off for winter.

Grand Forks. The chairman of N. Plains says the project is on track. They have purchased a site, secured a supply of natural gas and arranged distribution for the product. Natural gas represents 80 percent of the production cost of nitrogen. The next step is financing -- those plans will proceed full speed after September 23, a date when the SEC loosens rules for promoting start-ups. A former Minot law officer is imprisoned for life in the Alcatraz of the Rockies, a high security prison in Colorado, with such famous criminals as serial bomber Ted Kaczynski and shoe bomber Richard Reid. In 1987, Richard Lee McNair was surprised while burglarizing a Farmers Union elevator in Minot. He killed one man and badly wounded another. McNair was arrested and began a series of dramatic escapes from the Minot jail, the ND penitentiary and a federal prison in Louisiana. After being on the loose for 18 months he was caught and sent to the Colorado facility. McNairs escapades are described in a new digital book, The Man Who Mailed Himself Out of Jail by Canadian crime reporter Byron Christopher. Horton, Heskin and Harding (and old age) were features of a three-car crash on Hwy 52 north of Jamestown.

Martha of Mandans tip of the season If you have tons and tons of Roma Tomatoes to peel, use this simple trick to make your task go quickly. Cut the tomatoes in half and lay them cut side down on a baking sheet. Place them in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the tomato thoroughly heated. Remove the pan, let cool for bit and then slide those skins right off the top of the tomatoes and they are ready for spaghetti sauce or canning.

That question was too hard to answer so no one tried. I hate those jackass politicians in Washington for being jackass politicians, Torvald grumbled. Little Jimmy stood up. He was taking college online and was now majoring in clinical psychology. He liked on-line college because he didnt have to learn anything to get a degree. This was his 13thmajor since his parents went to Alaska to hunt for gold and left him to take care of the house. Theres a lot of hate around, Jimmy observed. We need to stop hate so it doesnt get out of hand like it is in Washington. I propose that we organize a hate center here in the community hall where people can come and shout their hate. We could be the anti-hate clinic of America. Maybe we can get a Congressman to dedicate the center, Torvald added with a wry smile. I can sign up for a psych practicum and run the center for at least a semester, Jimmy proposed. We can see if there is enough hate to keep it going. Well, I hate long meetings, Old Sievert declared abruptly. Lets adjourn. Everyone loved the idea and left. Ork hated it when they cut meetings short.
