It cant last forever ...
Sundogs over the hoop house north of Mandan on Jan. 22. March came in like a lion, hope-
fully it will go out like a lamb.
PAGE 2 the independent 03.07.14
I
ts spring...
Time to begin thinking about
planting seeds for future gardens.
Colorful seed catalogs have been
showing up regularly
in my mailbox since
Dec. 1. Somehow these
sellers continue to
outdo themselves by
adding more and more
colorful photos of more
and more exotic and
wonderful heirloom
varieties of tomatoes,
peppers, eggplant,
kale, Swiss chard, lettuces, greens,
pumpkins, squash - well you get the
picture.
Our home has a long narrow front
porch that used to be screened. We
closed it up with expensive windows
and now this southeast exposure
room makes the perfect greenhouse.
So I grow plants.
Every year I grow more and more
plants. So many plants, I have no
room for them, so I started selling
plants last year.
Te charm of growing your own
plants are the incredible choices out
there. Tere is not enough soil under
my care to handle all the plants that
I love to grow. Growing your own
afords you the opportunity to grow
things you could never fnd at big-
box store greenhouses.
In the end, come fall we harvest
bountiful baskets of absolutely fresh
and locally grown produce to eat
and eat and eat. When the feasts are
fnally fnished, we can and can and
can, so we can eat local all winter
long. And we do.
Its also the season of Lent. My
husband and I were reminiscing
about fsh sticks and tomato soup - a
common school lunch ofering in our
respective communities back in the
day.
Okay, so I just had to buy some fsh
sticks. Tere was a coupon on the box
for frozen peas, so I added those to
my shopping cart.
When I opened my outdoor freezer
to store the frozen foods, I was taken
aback by the realization about the
lack of boxes in the freezer. Of course,
I have always known that our
meat from farmers comes in plain
wrappers and we grow many of our
own vegetables,
purchase big lots
of fruits when in
season and then
can or freeze for
winter... but wow.
Tat lone box
of fsh sticks
looked pretty
out of place in
that huge upright
freezer.
Tose two items were the only two
boxes in the whole freezer.
Im pretty confdent there arent too
many families that could say that.
So, why would I forego watching
television programs like Duck Dy-
nasty and Honey Boo Boo to spend
time in the kitchen?
Because I know am of the opinion
that the food we eat needs to be alive.
We are living beings and need to
eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Our
menus should not be strictly over-
salted, over processed, irradiated
food. Tats only one of the reasons I
garden.
I garden because it was passed to
my by mother and her mother before
me. We never never had a garden.
And, I love to grow and grow any-
thing I can get my hands on. A leaf
falls of a plant; I put it in the dirt.
Now, imagine if we didnt have
seeds to grow gardens. What would
we do? Because of the state of the
food system in this country, there are
hundreds and maybe thousands of
vegetable varieties that are gone - for
good. Companies are patenting seeds,
developing terminator genes so seeds
cannot reproduce naturally, but rath-
er they need a dose of chemical sold
by aforementioned seed company.
Its a shame.
Seeds are a complete little pack-
age of life. Tey were not invented by
anyone, but rather they are a gif to
humankind to save, sow and share
with friends and neighbors. So I grow
for more reasons than to eat. I grow
to preserve life and traditions and eat.

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. - Edwin Way Teale quotes
AT HOME WITH EXTENSION
B
eans are a magical food: Tey
have supernatural health ben-
efts, can be added in a variety
of dishes, and through sleight of hand
can save us money at the grocery
store.
Beans are a part of the legume
family and according to the USDA
MyPlate recommendations can be
classifed as either a vegetable or as
part of the protein foods group. Beans
are a complete source of protein as
well as an excellent source of complex
carbohydrates, fber, antioxidants and
important vitamins such as iron. On
average a cup of beans is only 115
calories but it has 8 grams of protein
with little fat.
Beans are a great addition to any
diet. Because they are low in fat and
do not have cholesterol, beans have
been shown to reduce the risk of
heart disease. Beans have an abun-
dance of antioxidants which will
lessen the risks of certain cancers. Te
complex carbohydrates in beans will
help keep tight control over blood
sugar levels and because beans are f-
ber-rich they will help our bodies feel
full faster and longer thereby acting
as good food for weight control. For
those that have difculty consuming
gluten, beans are a good alternative.
Beans are ofen misunderstood as
an ingredient and ofen underutilized
in the kitchen. Adding beans to our
diets can be easy because beans are so
versatile. Kidney beans are a natural
addition to chili and refried beans
are common in tacos, but how about
adding black beans to rice or adding
garbanzo beans to a salad? We can
even go so far as to add beans to muf-
fns. See recipe below.
Ofen beans can be blamed for
fatulence. To reduce gas, add beans
and other high-fber foods to your
diet slowly, chew your food well and
drink plenty of water. Your body will
adjust through time, and gas will be
less of an issue.
We live in a fast paced age where
planning ahead in the kitchen can be
difcult. Tere are several methods
to rehydrate beans including letting
them soak overnight in the refrig-
erator or using a hot soak method.
Tis method blanches the beans for
a couple of minutes and then allows
them to soak in the hot water for
about 4 hours. Tere are two simpler
and faster ways to use this magical
food. One way is to make a large
batch and freeze recipe-size amounts
in freezer containers or bags. Te
frozen beans can be thawed in the
refrigerator overnight or defrosted in
the microwave. Te other even more
convenient method is to use canned
beans. Remember to drain and rinse
the beans to reduce the sodium
content.
Beans can stretch our food dollar
and provide abundant nutrition. Le-
gumes are an inexpen-
sive form of protein
and can be even
cheaper when one
uses smart grocery
shopping techniques.
When they go on
sale, simply purchase
extra and then freely
add them to salads,
side dishes, and even pasta. If you
have picky eaters at your house, try
pureeing beans in a blender and then
add them to soups or casseroles. Give
beans a try for the health of it!

Tey want more, and theyve got the oil impacts
trump card to play over and over again to get it. Just dont
ask those western leaders why their property tax levies
are so low if theyre in such desperate need of revenue. Or
why Williston directed tens of million from a local sales
tax increase to a lavish aquatic center (complete with in-
door surfng!) while pleading poverty to the state. Or why
Watford City is pushing a $50 million community center
when the city needs roads and other basic infrastructure
desperately.
Dont ask North Dakota Democrats about those things
either. Even though elected Democrats west of Bismarck
are about as common as
winning lottery tickets, they
see an opportunity in the
oil-driven angst and are de-
manding a special session to
be held just months ahead
of 2015s regular session.
And besides, when has a
local government in North
Dakota ever been satisfed
with the amount of money
they get from the state?
Te demands coming from
local government ofcials
are pretty unreasonable.
To hear oil county leaders
tell it, the oil tax revenues
produced in their counties
are theirs to keep.
I wonder what they would have thought if, ten years
ago, Cass County and the City of Fargo had made that
argument about sales tax revenues?
Which isnt to say that the needs in western North Da-
kota are unimportant. Just like the environmental debate,
its extremely important, but ofen derailed by petty poli-
tics and rank opportunism.
Hopefully, the people
of North Dakota can keep
level heads, and a sound
footing on the foundation
of common sense, as we
ride out these debates.
H
ave your New
Years resolu-
tions gone by
the wayside? Almost
half of all adults make
New Years resolutions
with about 25% of
people giving up on
those goals within the
frst week.
Te top 5 resolutions include losing
weight, drinking less alcohol, saving
more and spending less, eating better
and getting ft, and quitting tobacco.
If you are one of those people who
set a goal on January 1 only to get
side tracked in the frst 4-6 weeks of
2014, dont give up! Heres a list of 10
ways to improve your eforts to make
positive changes and get back on
track with your goals.
Write it down. Studies show that
people who set a goal and write it
down are 10 times more likely to suc-
ceed than those who dont.
Take baby steps. Old habits are
very hard to break! Start small and
take it one day at a time.
Find a Role Model. Find someone
who has achieved a goal similar to
your goal and model their behavior.
Exercise willpower. Train your
mind to develop willpower to make
good choices, it will get easier as time
goes on. Its alright to make mistakes.
Sleep on it. In order to control
thoughtless behaviors, your brain
needs 7-9 hours of rest.
Limit Stress. Keep stress levels low
to help your brain focus on the big
goal instead of short term rewards.
Eat Healthy. Te average person
makes about 35,000 decisions every-
day with 200 of those being about
food. Surround yourself with healthy
food options to make choices easier.
Avoid procrastination. Stop put-
ting things of and get things done
right away that will move you closer
to your goal.
Reward progress. Choose healthy
rewards for yourself on your journey
as you make progress and this will
help you stay motivated.
Visualize success. Imagine what
it will be like when you achieve your
goal and how good you will feel!
And last but not least, consider
joining ON THE MOVE and we will
give you support all year round to
stay on track with your goals. Its not
too late, call 845-6456 to register.

I
am sure that most of
my readers have seen
a cardiac ventricular
defbrillation performed,
if not for real, then almost
certainly in
television
hospital
dramas: A
patients
heart stops
beating on
the operat-
ing table, a
cart is rolled
up to the
table, someone grabs two
paddles that are connected
to an electronic device
on the cart, raises them
in the air, shouts Clear!
then applies the paddles
to the patients chest. Te
patients body jumps from
the electrical shock, and
(hopefully) the heart starts
beating again.
Defbrillation is regarded
as a fairly modern inven-
tion. Its regular use in
humans with closed chest
was developed in the early
1950s, but its roots go back
much further. As early as
1899 it was demonstrated
that electrical discharges
could be used to start and
stop an animals heart, but
over a hundred years ear-
lier electrical methods and
techniques were used that
were remarkably similar to
what is done today.
In 1788 Charles Kite
(17681811), a member of
the Royal Humane Society
of London (an organiza-
tion devoted to salvaging
persons seemingly dead),
in his Essay on the Resus-
citation of the Apparently
Dead, described the use of
electricity to revive a three-
year-old child who was
taken for dead afer falling
out of a window.
An apothecary (phar-
macist) was sent for, who
could do nothing; then
electrical resuscitation was
attempted by a Mr. Squires,
who
with the consent of the
parents, very humanely
tried the efects of electric-
ity. Twenty minutes had at
least elapsed before he could
apply the shock, which he
gave to various parts of the
body without any apparent
success; but at length, on
transmitting a few shocks
through the thorax, he
perceived a small pulsation;
soon afer the child began
to breathe, though with
great difculty. In about ten
minutes she vomited. A kind
of stupor remained for some
days; but the child was re-
stored to perfect health and
spirits in about a week.
Kite comments:
Do [these examples] not
plainly point out, that elec-
tricity is the most powerful
stimulus we can apply? ...
And are we not justifed in
assuming, that if it is able so
powerfully to excite the ac-
tion of the external muscles,
that it will be capable of
reproducing the motion of
the heart, which is infnitely
more irritable, and by that
means accomplish our great
desideratum, the renewal of
the circulation?
James Curry (1763
1819), a physician at Guys
Hospital in London, put
forward his theory of the
electrical resuscitation
of the heart in his work,
Observations on appar-
ent death from drowning,
hanging, sufocation ... &c.
&c. and an account of the
means to be employed for
recovery, as follows:
When the several mea-
sures have been steadily
pursued for an hour or
more, without any appear-
ance of returning life, Elec-
tricity should be tried: ex-
perience having shown it to
be one of the most powerful
stimulants yet known, and
capable of exciting contrac-
tion in the Heart and other
muscles of the body, afer
every other stimulus has
ceased to produce the least
efect. Moderate shocks are
found to answer best, and
these should, at intervals, be
passed through the Chest in
diferent directions in order,
if possible, to rouse the
Heart to act. Shocks may
likewise be sent through the
Limbs, and along the Spine:
but I am doubtful how far it
is useful or safe to pass them
through the Brain, as some
have recommended.
Te body may be conve-
niently insulated by placing
it on a door supported by
a number of quart bottles
[as insulators], whose sides
are previously wiped with
a towel, to remove any
moisture they may have
contracted, which would
conduct the Electric Fluid to
the foor, instead of making
it pass through the body.
In order more certainly to
pass the shock through the
Heart, place the knob of one
discharging rod above the
collar-bone of the right side,
and the knob of the other
above the short ribs of the
lef. Te position of the dis-
charging rods, however, may
be changed occasionally so
as to vary the direction of
the shock.

Could this be the frst defbrillation?
Photograph of a large 18th-century Ramsden-
type electrostatic generator similar to the one
used by Charles Kite. The crank on the right end
of the machine is turned by hand, causing the
glass plate to spin and rub against two treated
leather pads. The electrostatic charge thus gen-
erated is transferred to the surface of the long
brass tubes (prime conductors) where it can be
drawn off and stored in a Leyden vial capacitor.
The arrangement can then be used to direct an
electrical discharge across a patients chest. On

THIS IS VALLEY CITY
VCSUS M.ED. in Library and Information
Technologies receives national recognition
V
alley City State Uni-
versitys Master of
Education (M.Ed.)
program in Library and
Information Technologies
(LIT)has earned National
Recognition status from
the American Associa-
tion of School Librarians
(AASL) and the Council for
the Accreditation of Educa-
tor Preparation (CAEP).
VCSUs program is one of
only 46 programs nation-
wide, and the only program
in the region, to receive
AASL/CAEP National Rec-
ognition.
To date, the VCSU M.Ed.
LIT programestablished
in 2007 and delivered to
students entirely online
has more than 40 graduates.
According to Donna James,
VCSU library director and
LIT concentration chair, it
continues to expand region-
ally, with an increasing
number of students enroll-
ing from states other than
North Dakota.
Te Library and In-
formation Technologies
(LIT) concentration was
established in 2007 with
the fnancial support of an
Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS)
grant, Project Nexus, for
which James had submitted
the grant proposal
One of the goals of the
original IMLS grant was to
earn AASL recognition for
the new Library Education
program at Valley City State
University, said James.
Other goals included
recruiting a specifc num-
ber of students, providing
tuition support for students
who enrolled early in the
new program, and provid-
ing an opportunity for
students to meet their peers
and instructors on the Val-

ley City campus once a year
at a Summer Institute. All of
these goals have been met
or exceeded.
A second IMLS grant,
Nexus Echo, provides schol-
arship continuation support
for students committed to
earning an M.Ed. LIT from
VCSU.
National recognition for
this program is just icing on
the cake, said James. It has
already been unofcially
recognized by educators
in the region as a strong
library education program.
According to James,
School librarians in the
21st century collaborate
with educators in their
district to provide informa-
tion literacy skills and meet
standards as they teach;
they are no longer just the

ONE MAN KILLED AND ONE BADLY
HURT NEAR ALICE
---------
Motor-Cycle Accident Near Alice
Caused the Death of Joseph Robbideau
Last Saturday.
----------
A fatal accident occurred last Saturday
evening about 9 oclock in the evening
when Wm. Hanson and Joseph Robbideau,
riding a motor cycle, collided with a team
and buggy driven by Mr. George Pollock.
Te vehicles were going in opposite direc-
tions and it seems that the motor cycle did
not turn far enough out to avoid a colli-
sion. Teir machine struck the buggy with
great force, throwing the riders twenty-fve
or thirty feet. Robbideau was instantly
killed and Hanson, who owned and was
driving the motor cycle, was badly bruised
about the head and had his
lef leg broken.
He happened to pass just afer the
accident and he drove his car into Alice
and got help and the two were taken to
Alice. A physician was summoned from
Bufalo, who had Mr. Hanson taken to
Fargo as soon as his injuries were taken
care of, where he has been since in a
hospital and word received from there this
morning is to the efect that he is getting
along remarkably well and will not lose the
sight of his eyes which was at frst feared.
Undertaker Peterson was called from
here to prepare the body of Robbideau
for burial and his funeral was held in the
Catholic church at Alice Tuesday morning
at 11 oclock.
Both were young men who had worked
in that vicinity for some time and at the
time of the accident were in the employ of
Oscar Dagman, formerly of Enderlin.

Sues Comments: I was most surprised
that motorcycles were in use in 1915! Also,
this was December and they were riding
a motorcycle! It must have been a fairly
nice winter! According to the ofcial ND
Death Index, Joseph T. Robideau (one b)
was born March 5, 1898, was a resident of
Cass County, and died in Cass County on
December 11, 1915 at age 19.

W
e have entered
the season of
Lent which
begins at Ash Wednes-
day and concludes as
we enter Holy Week.
Excluding Sundays, we
have 40 days during Lent
which are ofen used
as days of fasting and
prayer. Tis special time
of commemoration and preparation
fnds part of its basis in Matthew 4:1-11.
In Matthews Gospel we begin with a
record of Jesus genealogy and then the
events surrounding His birth are told.
We then hear of the wise men visiting,
the fight to Egypt, and then we hear
about John the Baptist preparing the
way. Ten at the end of chapter 3 we
have Jesus baptism which is the begin-
ning of Jesus public ministry. A minis-
try marked by the activity of the three
persons of the Trinity and the procla-
mation from God the Father, Tis is
my beloved Son with whom I am well
pleased (Matt. 3:17).
All of this is preceding Jesus heading
into the desert and being tempted for 40
days and nights. Tese 40 days match
the 40 days of Lent. What Jesus endured
dur-
ing that
time was
physical
difculty
as the days
continued
on and as
His hun-
ger grew.
We are
reminded
here again
that even though Jesus was God, in tak-
ing on fesh He also was man and has
the same hunger, thirst, and weariness
that comes to our fesh. But the physical
difculty was not the only problem in
the desert. Jesus was also being tempted
by the devil. Now all the physical dif-
fculties were compounded by spiritual
attacks.
We have three temptations recorded
for us. In each of them the devil at-
tempts to get Jesus to deny what the
Father had sent Jesus to do and had
declared about Him at His baptism. Te
devil seeks to get Jesus to worship Him.
We see how well Jesus handled these
direct temptations from the devil even
in His weakened physical state and are
reminded of how quickly we fall into
temptation.
Tis passage in Matthew is a great
reminder of Jesus, our Savior, fulflling
His task to be the spotless lamb of God
who takes away the sin of the world
(John 1:29). We fall to temptations even
when we are well rested and well fed.
Even when the temptations are clear to
us and we know they are coming. But
our Savior Jesus Christ never fell to
temptation but stood up against the full
weight of every attack from the devil
and won. He went to the Cross as a
perfectly sinless substitute for us.
During the season of Lent we focus
on repentance and look to the ministry
of Christ on our behalf. We look to the
Word of God from which we hear Gods
promises and reminders to us of our
sinfulness and also Gods amazing grace
and mercy. We have a great Savior who
when tempted used the sword of the
Spirit which is the Word of God (Ephe-
sians 6:17) and defected and defeated
the attacks of the devil. Te Word of
God has been given
to us as well. He has
spoken that we might
hear of our opportunity
to repent and receive
forgiveness. He has
spoken that we might
hear of Jesus who was
without sin and died
for us. He has spoken.
Tanks be to God.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORSHIP AT THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE
FAITHFULLY

W
ith the fat and
obese people
being the fastest
growing group in America,
discussion of their condi-
tion has become politically
incorrect.
By that, I
mean any
politician
expecting
victory
down the
road cant
aford to
ofend this
burgeoning group.
More than one-third
of U. S. adults are obese.
When they become the
majority, the slim will be
required to eat carbohy-
drates. However, we cant
sweep obesity under the
rug. It is a major health
crisis so we need to weigh
in, whether it is politically
correct or not.
Obesity is costing $150
billion annually in medical
expenses. For individuals,
obesity runs $1,500 higher
than for those of healthy
weight. Taxpayers end up
paying a good chunk of the
bill.
In North Dakota, 30
per cent have too much
body mass, a 250 per cent
increase since 1990.
Unless we curb this esca-
lating crisis, my projections
suggest that by 2050 there
wont be enough money
available in the medical
budget for fu shots.
Tus far, every efort to
curb obesity has failed.
Prevention: When the
government foresaw the
growing crisis, it came out
with more healthy school
lunches less carbohy-
drates, more vegetables.
Parents and students
rebelled. In response, the
political budget hawks
sided with costly obesity
and lobbied for modifca-
tion of the healthier school
menus.
If the kids dont like
healthy government-sub-
sidized lunches, perhaps
they should bring their
own peanut butter sand-
wiches to school. Tats
what many of us did in
the old days. Taxpayers
shouldnt have to subsidize
both ends.
Embarrassment: Tis
hasnt worked because
there arent mirrors at
grocery check-outs and fast
food troughs to deter poor
eating habits. Besides, ev-
erybody is doing it; obesity
is popular and acceptable,
so why be embarrassed?
Fear: Medical research
has demonstrated that
obese folks are more likely
to contract diabetes, heart
disease, stroke and some
forms of cancer, any one
of which will cause them
to die prematurely and
permanently. But dont
fret. Fat is today; death is
tomorrow.
Patriotism: Some think
its a patriotic duty to fght
for ones country. However,
many volunteers are reject-
ed as too obese, declared
4-F, with the F meaning
fat. Tey are too fat to fght
and too fat to run. No help
in an invasion.
Religion: Te Bible says
that a persons body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit
so we should honor it. But
what good is grace if you
cant be obese?
So where do we go from
here? Tus far, nothing
has slowed the relentless
expansion of obesity. As
a last ditch efort, my pro-
posal is to try taxes.
We have used the tax
system to foster economic
development, to fght
urban blight, to help the
needy, to encourage chari-
table giving, ad infnitum.
Just about anything can
be accomplished with the
right tax policy.
Instead of basing taxes
on income, we should base
it on the Body Mass Index.
Te tax should be graduat-
ed with higher rates falling
on those with the highest
BMI. A tax graduated in
this manner would pay
for the higher public costs
incurred by the highest
OMDAHL: 12
T
his may sound odd coming as it
does from an outspoken conser-
vative such as myself, but Im an
environmentalist.
I spent my childhood in Alaska, playing
imaginary games in the woods, hunt-
ing with my father in the wilderness and
fshing with my uncle in Prince William
Sound, an area that would later become
famous for the infamous Exxon Valdez oil
spill.
I care about the out-
doors. I want to enjoy what
our beautiful state and na-
tion have to ofer through-
out my lifetime, and have it
around so that my children
and grandchildren may
enjoy as well. Terefore,
I think the debate over
environmental issues and
conservation is an important one.
Just not always a terribly honest one.
Unfortunately, the sort of debate we have
over environmental issues in America, and
in North Dakota specifcally, isnt a very
productive one in that it is littered with
hyperbole, exaggeration and outright false-
hoods.
It becomes difcult, for instance, to have
a serious debate about pipeline safety (or
rail safety, for that matter) with a project
like the Keystone XL pipeline - perhaps
the most thoroughly studied and long-
delayed project of its kind in U.S. history,
as Senator John Hoeven has described it -
is idled while President Obama dithers and
activists shriek.
Its also difcult to have a debate about
oil impacts in North Dakota when every
gallon of spilled oil or salt water is treated
like headline news, complete with breath-
less reactions from environmental zealots
and political opportunists.
Talking about oil impacts, its difcult
to have a conversation about budgeting in
North Dakota these days when local gov-
ernment leaders point accusatory fngers at
the state government and claim they arent
getting enough in funding.
Forget the billions in spending the state
has thrown at western needs in the current
biennium (much of which, legislators tell
me, hasnt even been spent yet). Forget the
$250 million bump in revenues to local
governments coming in 2014 from adjust-
ments to the oil and gas production tax
distribution formulas passed by the legis-
lature last year. Forget the tens of millions
in various grants made by the state to local
governments in the west.

N
orth Dakotas fshing regulations are diferent than
any other set of regulations the State Game and
Fish Department produces.
While they all cover laws, limits and season lengths, the
fshing regulations cover a two-year period, while the oth-
ers are developed annually.
Fortunately, for pretty much all of the regulations
guides that Game and Fish develops, they dont have a lot
of changes from year to year. And that is the case for the
2014-16 fshing guide, which will be available at license
vendors and online at the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.
gov, within the next couple of weeks.
Paddlefsh snagging
Afer a full review of the 2013 paddlefsh season, and
considering ongoing population research, Game and Fish
is making a number of changes for the 2014 paddlefsh
snagging season. However, this does not include establish-
ment of a lottery to issue paddlefsh snagging tags.
While the 2013 state legislature passed a law that gives
Game and Fish the option to hold a paddlefsh tag lottery,
agency administrators are going to try a few regulatory
changes before possibly implementing f a lottery.
Modifcations to the paddlefsh season include:
Changing the hours open to snagging from 8 a.m.-10
p.m. to 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
Reducing the 36-hour notice required
to close the season to 24 hours.
Reducing the snag-and-release ex-
tended season from seven to four days.
Establishing a new requirement that
all paddlefsh snagged and tagged must
be removed from the river by 9 p.m. of
each snagging day.
A change in the days open to snagging
from Wednesday through Saturday, to
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday;
and additional requirements to accompany
a harvested fsh.
Bow fshing and spearing season lengths extended
In response to increasing interest and participation in
bow fshing for nongame fsh, the bow fshing season is
extended to run from April 1 through Nov. 30. Previously,
this season started May 1 and ended Sept. 30, so the new
rule provides an extra three months for people who like to
pursue nongame fsh with their bow.
Te open water spearing season for nongame fsh was
also extended. It still starts on May 1 as in previous years,
but like bow fshing, it now ends Nov. 30 instead of Sept.
30.
Red and Bois de Sioux rivers open to darkhouse
spearfshing
Te previous
fshing proclama-
tion opened most
water bodies in
the state to dark-
house spearfshing
for northern pike.
Te Red River was
excluded due to the
desire to stan-
dardize boundary
water regulations
with Minnesota.
Beginning next
winter both states
have agreed to
allow darkhouse
spearfshing on
the Red, although
use will likely be
limited.
Reduced crappie
limit
Te statewide
daily and possession
limit of crappie is reduced from 20 and 80 to 10 and 20
respectively.
North Dakota only has a handful of quality crappie
fsheries. Due to the fact that crappie
populations are usually dominated by just a couple of
year classes (due to inconsistent recruitment) and these
fsh grow slowly, there is a need to provide additional
protection to extend these limited fsheries.
Odland Dam panfsh limits standardized
Due to periodic winterkills experienced at Odland Dam
in Golden Valley County, there is no longer a need for
special panfsh limits there, so they are now the same as
elsewhere in the state.
So with spring and open water just around the corner
we hope dont forget that a new fshing license is
required April 1, and a new fshing guide should be part
of the package.
Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. - Robert Browning
