m years removed from the high school and college decisions andcontemplating schools, majors or possible career paths. And I dont really miss it. Truth is I never wrote down on paper I wanted to be a private lands biologist in Stanley, a game warden in Bottineau or an outreach biologist in West Fargo, but those have been the highlights of my career to this point. I was, however, drawn to the general field of biology or natural resource management. But even if I had written down an exact place and position, theres only a few dozen game wardens and four outreach biologists in North Dakota so, its doubtful Id have predicted the future correctly even NDGF Photograph a few years down the road, let alone a few The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has scheduled an examina- decades. tion to select candidates for the position of district game warden. The test Even now when asked by students, parents and others about the natural resources is at 10 a.m., July 15, at the departments main office in Bismarck. or conservation field, one of my first bits of advice is not to set goals too narrow. Dont simply hold out for a job as a bighorn sheep biologist (theres one) or an aquatic nuisance species biologist (one as well), or youll most likely be disappointed. So I suggest anyone with an interest in a natural resource career be open-minded and flexible enough to take advantage of opportunities. Again speaking from experience, when I was hired as a game warden there were well over 100 applicants for one position. While those odds were a bit depressing, Historic 1916 Buffalo High School 303 Pearl Street, Buffalo, ND I also knew someone had to be the one, and I sure understood the odds were zero if I didnt even apply and take the exam. So heres an opportunity for all interested. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has scheduled an examinaFRIDAY, JULY 19, 2013 tion to select candidates for the position of 4:30 pm Open House & Tours of the Historic Bu alo High School district game warden.

July 15, at the departments main office in Bismarck. Applicants must register to take the exam by submitting a letter of intent to chief game warden Robert Timian at the Bismarck headquarters by 5 p.m. July 12. You might be surprised how open the Department is By to accepting applicants with Doug Leier these requirements: must be least 21 years of age have a bachelors degree current North Dakota peace officer license, or eligibility for a license valid drivers license must not have a record of any felony convictions. Yes a degree in biology or background and understanding of criminal justice is advantageous, but its not required to start the process. Excellent interpersonal skills in communications and writing helps as well. There is no cookie-cutter formula for becoming a game warden. The best advice I can give is if youve ever thought about it, or you know someone who has ever thought about it, now is the time to move the thoughts into action. If youre not sure what the actual job duty requires pick up the phone and call or visit with one of the state game wardens. Essentially, in words game wardens enforce North Dakotas game and fish laws and related regulations in an assigned district. In addition to law enforcement duties, wardens assist in the areas of public relations, education programs, and hunter and boat safety education. Selection procedures following the test may include an evaluation of the application, a structured oral interview, background and reference checks, and psychological and medical examinations. Theres no guarantee to anyone taking the first step in the process, but it is certain that without taking a chance on that first step, youll never know where the career path could have taken you.

GARDENING TIPS
lowers growing in containers may need to be watered daily. Hanging baskets of fuchsias and other flowers are especially prone to drying out. A layer of mulch in containers can reduce watering needs. Remove flowers in the garden after they fade. This is called deadheading. In this way, the plant wont waste any energy on producing seed in these faded flowers. Rather, the plant will spend its energy on producing new flowers. Most annual flowers do not need to be sprayed with fungicides. Focus on sanitation insteadremove faded flowers and any leaves that show disease spots. A thin layer of organic mulching in a flower bed will keep the plants cooler and healthier. The need for watering will be reduced, often in half! Cocoa bean mulch is hazardous to dogs.
Usually dogs are not interested in the mulch, but in rare situations when dogs consume the mulch, they can die! Keep roots of lily and clematis cool; mulching is very valuable for these plants. Mulch peony bushes and clip off seedpods from spent blooms. The best time to clip flowers for drying is midday. The flowers should be in peak form. Remove the leaves and hang upside down in a dry, dark, well-ventilated area for drying. When clipping rose flowers, make the cut down on the stem at the first 5-leaflet leaf. This will encourage stronger, healthier plants. Plant autumn crocus bulbs as soon as they become available at garden centers. Tall flowers can be staked to prevent wind damage. Use stakes that are not conspicuous. Green bamboo stakes work well for this.

eople concerned and upset about the dumping of toxic, radioactive oil field waste will meet with county commissioners in Washburn on July 16 and with state officials in Bismarck on July 18. Members of the newly formed Energy Industry Waste Coalition, the Dakota Resource Council and alarmed McLean County residents will offer testimony at a McLean County Commission meeting Tues., July 16, in Washburn. The meeting is to decide Great River Energys request to operate a waste dump site near Underwood. The site would be used to store radioactive and other toxic waste from western North Dakota oil fields. EIWC spokesman Darrell Dorgan said, Although Great River Energy claims the site wont be used for radioactive or toxic waste, the permit request will allow it and, if approved, they will. When the site leaks (and it will), it will create critical health issues in McLean County and eventually to people living along the Missouri River downstream. Despite testimony from Great River Energy officials, the McLean County Zoning Commission recently refused to recommend the issuance of a permit and voted to limit acceptance of radioactive waste in McLean County. Great Rivers permit request is now being taken to the County Commission without a recommendation. Dakota Resource Council Executive Director Don Morrison said the limit placed on the dump site by the County Zoning
Commission and the lack of a recommendation should be enough to keep the County Commission from approving the request. Morrison said that, if that wont stop it, The thought of 10,000 big trucks a year, roaring through McLean County, carrying toxic and radioactive waste, ought to be a huge danger sign. Ten thousand semis a year disrupting traffic and tearing up highways in McLean County would be a shocking change for people living there. The North Dakota Health Department will meet with groups and individuals concerned about the growing problem of toxic and radioactive waste on Thurs., July 18, in the Pioneer Room at the State Capitol. The meeting is open to the public, and public comments will be taken. The department has been meeting privately with oil industry representatives for several months, considering new guidelines that, if approved, would allow additional dump sites and higher radioactive levels of waste in North Dakota. EIWC and DRC requested the meeting to provide balance to the oil industry recommendations to the Health Department. The recent legislative session provided eight new employees to the Health Department to help track radioactive and toxic waste from drilling sties. EIWC and DRC Science Advisor Margi Coyle said, Recent discoveries of attempts to dump loads of radioactive toxic waste at landfills in Williston and Watford City are alarming.

s science has come to understand it, human DNA is a self-replicating molecule in a cell responsible for the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent to offspring. That abstract definition takes on fresh meaning when it is applied to real people, however. In this case the real person was Henrietta Lacks, whose cells remain alive long after her own life ended. In a sense, Lacks has become immortalized. The campus-community organization, What in the World is Going On,? invites area readers to join with students, faculty and staff at VCSU in reading and discussing the bestselling non-fiction book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. This book by Rebecca Skloot was chosen as the 2013-2014 selection in the VCSU Common Reading Program. The incoming class will be reading this book and content discussion will be incorporated into courses of all majors throughout the year. The book addresses important to all of us - issues related to race, class, bioethics, morality, scientific research and discovery in the U.S. and the world. The book tells the story of a poor Southern tobacco farmer who, without her knowledge provided, the first immortal cells grown in culture they are still alive today. These cells are now known to scientists as HeLa cells and they have become an important tool in modern medicine.

SMALL BITES: from 7 (His wife made the very best dill pickles in the Midwest.)
Mostly, Grandpa K loved to fish. He passed that on to at least three of the five sons who in turn passed it on to their sons and a nephew or two. Along with learning to fish, backing up a boat trailer, cutting a hole in the ice during the coldest of winter days, cutting a boneless filet, all the young boys learned to pee outdoors and swear in German. There were plenty of lakes around the county filled with perch and Northern pike. What the old man didnt eat, or pickle, he gave away. Grandpa Ks brother once caught a very large Northern.

A Vegetable of the Gods Unlike Mr. Connor, the ancient Greeks adored cabbage, and invoked Zeus, king of the gods, to describe its origin. One story goes that Zeus was struggling to explain two oracles that contradicted each other, began to sweat from the effort, and from a drop of his divine perspiration, a cabbage miraculously sprang up. Since that first cabbage, hundreds of other varieties have sprung up. At farmers markets youll see cabbages in many shades of red and green, and in many shapes and sizes, from pointy-headed mini-cabbages, to flattened orbs, to crinkly-leaved Savoy, Chinese, and Napa cabbages. Divinely Healthy Nutritionally speaking, cabbage is indeed a divine vegetable low in calories, and high in fiber, minerals (calcium, manganese, and potassium), and vitamins. In fact a serving of cabbage has as much vitamin C as an orange, but far fewer calories. Cabbage is also high in Vitamins A, E, K, and B6, and in the cancer-fighting antioxidants beta carotene and sulforaphane. Like all vegetables, cabbage begins to lose its valuable nutrients as soon as it is har-
Sweet and Tangy Herbed Cabbage Salad There are as many variations of coleslaw as there are cooks, so feel free to adapt this recipe according to your tastes, and whats in your refrigerator. Start with sliced or grated cabbage, then add a spicy salad green such as arugula or mizuna, an herb (dill, parsley, cilantro, or mint), and some chopped vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, onions, peppers sweet or hot). If you want to go all out, add some fruit (apples, oranges, mango, grapes), toasted nuts (peanuts, cashews), and meat (grilled chicken or shrimp)and youll have a healthy, delicious meal-in-abowl. Ingredients
It was so big they put a picture of it in the paper. Not too be outdone, Grandpa Ks last goal in life was to catch a bigger fish. He prayed for that fish. He fished for that fish. Even after his daily routine included visiting his wife of 65 plus years in the nursing home every day, he went after his "pike dream." Not nearly as strong as when he was a young man, Grandpa K was quite active until the day he died. If he had aches and pains, no one outside the very inner circle of family heard about them. It could be because he spoke mostly German, his first language. Even the blessing at every meal in his house was in German, never varied; it was spoken fast and not too loudly. It isnt spoken anymore. But, God answers prayers, even in German. Before Grandpa K died, his pray for a bigger fish was answered. He brought it to town, and someone called the paper to permanently record this extraordinary fish. The nursing home placed Grandpa Ks bride in a wheel chair and rolled her out to in the picture. He stood next to her, with fish in hand. He held that fish about waist high and the tail still touched the ground. After the photo, he cleaned it and gave it to the cooks at the home to prepare for all the residents. Grandpa Ks youngest son tells the story better than anyone. It may have been the happiest day in his fathers life. To this day he doesnt know how that old man dragged that enormous fish out of the water and into his boat by himself. Perhaps God likes the fishing in North Dakota also.

The light that has brought hope to those who By The Rev. have gone through long and Dennis Norby difficult nights would be obscured by clouds. These enemies whom God called to punish the people of Israel (v. 26) were impossible to stand against. Now having all this before us we must realize that even though the situation was impossible the people could have hope. I can say that with confidence because of the chapter that follows. Isaiah chapter 6 is one of the most significant chapters in the book and some would say in the whole Bible. It is significant because it shows a picture of Gods holiness and glory. Anyone honest with themselves will be led to tremble and quake because of their own sin as Isaiah does when he says, Woe to me! and I am ruined. But hope springs to Isaiah because as he is called to serve God as a prophet he is cleansed and his guilt is taken away (Isaiah 6:7). They were not without hope because God was still sending His messengers and the promise of the Messiah to come. Today the roars of our enemies; sin, death, and the Devil continue to ring in the ears of many around us. We can share hope with them because of the Cross of

checked table cloths invited conversation and laughter at Buffalos fourth Herd it Through the Grapevine event a clever title for the small community of 200. Size doesnt stop these folks from having a party. A group of wine enthusiasts gather the first of every month and sample wines. Julys tasting included founding members, as well as new comers, who had heard about the tasting. Liane Stout hosted the July 1 tasting at the Buffalo High School. The event featured an array of California wines, cheese and bread and of course some great desserts. Conversation flowed with the wines recommended to Stout on her recent trip to California vineyards. Stout said these wine were chosen because they were a, fun exposure to something that you couldnt find here. She brought back six different types of wine for sampling McNab 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, Zellerbach 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, Tines White, Freds Red, Mcnab 2012 Rose Syrah, and the Zellerback 2011 Syrah. The wines were a delicious array of crisp white wines, as well as rich reds. Freds Red was the overall favorite with the group with Zellerbach 2012 Sauvignon Blanc a close second. Herd it Through the Grapevine was not created to be exclusive to wine connoisseurs; anyone interested in learning more about wine, trying some new flavors or just want to mingle with the herd, you can join the club by visiting www.mcnabridge.com. Wines are also available for purchase. Rodney Hogen, owner of the Red Trail Vineyards, will be hosting the August wine tasting. Augusts wine tasting will include some wine created from Hogens vineyard in Fargo, as well as other locally crafted wines. Visit their website www.redtrailvineyards.com for more information about the wine tasting and other events like the annual Grape Stomp.

first heard of the existence of Koldok a year or so ago. Actually, it was never really a town, just a Northern Pacific Railroad station located almost exactly midway between Oriska and Tower City. Berea was much bigger it even had a post office for a month or so, Koldok never did. Not being exclusively an armchair historian, I recently

took my wife Cathryn along with me to see if there was anything left of Koldok. There was, but not much. We had only a vague idea of where Koldoc might be, and no knowledge of how exactly to get there, but after traveling some lowmaintenance and no-maintenance roads By Dennis along the north side of the NP tracks, we Stillings turned onto a road close to the tracks and were surprised to find ourselves looking at a sign reading Koldok. Koldok was built in 1907 and originally named Brackett but some people confused Brackett with Brocket (often the same people who confuse spracket with sprocket) the name was changed to Koldok on December 10, 1915 in time for the upcoming Christmas mail rush. After a few beers, someone came up with the new name Koldok, which was cleverly made up from coal dock and pronounced much the same. For many years Koldok was an important service point for NPRR locomotives, but a fire in 1929 severely damaged the facilities. The dawn of the diesel era further reduced its Koldoks original coal dock which burned down in 1929 importance. Normally one of the quieter places in Barnes County, Koldok was hit with a train wreck in 1941, and a second one in 1951a huge derailment right at the site,

The school requirements reflect immunization recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Approximately one-third of middle school students were not up to date with Tdap and meningococcal vaccine during the 2012-2013 school year. There are many new residents to the state of North Dakota and it is important that parents bring their childs immunization record from out of state to the clinic when they present for immunizations. said Schwartz.

During that election though, sharks of another kind like Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz entered By Ed the pod, snarling, snapping, Raymond bomb-throwing, and tearing huge junks out of the tender white Republican body. This morning a Wall Street investment publication predicted that the One Percent in the U.S. was preparing for an apocalyptic economic disaster coming soon. Such preparation included moving more funds to many tax havens around the world and buying homes and friends in Europe and Asia. Could be true. We have an administration that refuses to put bankster criminals in jail for fraud that resulted in the loss of $17 trillion to the American public during the Bush Debacle Decade. Barack Obama and his associates are still propagandizing that we are slowly moving out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.

We Have Four Million People Who Have Been Unemployed For More Than Six Months While We Are Down Six Million Jobs From Six Years Ago Nobel Prize Economist Paul Krugman seems to be one of the rare economists who looks at facts after doing his homework. We are adding only about 160,000 jobs a month while laying off and paying unemployment insurance to about half that number. Four years after this recession officially ended we should be adding a million jobs a year and have a normal unemployment rate of five percent. We are at 7.6 percent presently. According to Krugman, we should have very few people out of work for extended periods. Currently 25 percent of the 2012 college grads are unemployed. The typical American household has lost income every year since the recession ended. That is not supposed to happen during a recovery. Meanwhile the shrinking middle class has been nearly shrunk out of existence by lousy pay, lousy

jobs, and shrinking assets. The average American family has regained only about 50 percent of its assets since 2009. Guess what? Corporations are having banner profitable years by screwing the middle class out of even lousy wages. These personhood companies are so loaded with billions in cash they are shipping it out to tax havens at the fastest rate in history. Remember a couple of years ago when General Electric paid no federal income tax? Gee! Today it has hoarded $77.4 billion in cash! Here are some other miserly corporations with loads of cash on hand: Chevron, $21 billion (Thats what $4.09 a gallon gas does for you); Apple, $16 billion (paid a few bucks in fed income taxesbut they hide most of their money overseas in the Cayman Islands); Google, $14.8 billion (Maybe people should Google How much did Google pay in income taxes in 2012?); and Coca-Cola,$8.4 billion (Have they made a billion people in the world obese?). There are thousands of other corporations with record profits and setting records that are destroying the viability of the middle class.
What Does A $10 million TearDown Signal? Some economists and bankers go on TV and proclaim the economic recovery is on its way. But research shows that only the One Percent, the big banks, wealthy homeowners, and corporations have profited from stimulus money and the growth in the stock market. The stock market is simply the rich betting in the Wall Street casino and exchanging money between Monday and Friday. Families with high debt loads because of mortgages are struggling as much as four years ago and have gained only 45 percent of what they have lost since 2007. Participation in the stock market is at a 15-year low. It will take many years for real estate to recover in some areas. But the sale of a $10 million tear-down in Wayzata on the shores of Lake Minnetonka gives you some idea of how the wealthy has survived the recession. Wayzata and Edina, two Minnesota ghettos, have had 134 tear-down sales and have had to hire personnel to approve and supervise the demolitions. Time magazines Joe Klein sums it up: The middle class is sliding toward dissolution. The wealthy have become an isolated plutocracy. America used to be community-minded. All the signs are present that it is getting too late to bring back a sense of community.

t seems we cant have a political movement these days without a victim to go along with it. Victimhood, and entitlement deriving from that victimhood, have become the cornerstones of our national debate. And a good victim, a compelling victim that will propel a cause far, is one that plays on emotions. North Dakota has seen a lot of that this year. During the legislative session, policy makers grappling with the issue of drunk driving were treated to impassioned testimony from the family of victims of alcohol-related traffic accidents. There was even the mangled body of a car involved in one of those accidents ghoulishly dragged onto the front steps of the capitol for legislators and the public to gawk at. The message seemed to be that you were either for tougher DUI laws, or you were for more tragedy. Which is a false choice, but Ill get to that in a moment. Another example of the politics of victimhood came last week when former Arizona Congresswoman Gabbie Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly were in North Dakota pushing tougher gun control policies. Giffords and her husband, who claim to be staunch supporters of the 2nd amendment, have become a spokespeople for more restrictive gun policies since Giffords was shot in the head by a

to have committed the offense of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) but also if they are found to have been a Minor Consuming (MIC) while driving. The 24/7 Program requires twice-per-day breath alcohol testing, remote electronic alcohol monitoring, and drug testing for up to nine months. A juvenile required to participate in the program will need to report twice-per-day to the local county 24/7 testing site which is typically the local county jail or local sheriff s department. Adults are able under North Dakota law to obtain a temporary drivers license which allows them to drive to the testing site but this is not an option for juveniles once they lose a license un-
der the graduated drivers license law. That means it can be challenging in rural areas for parents to drive a son or daughter twice a day to the testing site. Note also that there are mandatory program fees that in most cases cannot be waived by the court. Failure to report to testing or testing positive can result in further court sanctions. More information about the program can be found on the website of the North Dakota Attorney General. The most important influences in a teens life are the adults around them. I encourage parents, teachers and the community in general to discuss the dangers of drinking and driving with our youth.

OPINION: Omdahl
he Board of Higher Education has designated an acting chancellor to replace the previous acting chancellor. Maybe the title should be changed permanently to acting chancellor and be done with it. **** The Minnesota Twins appear to be playing baseball again this summer. At least, they think so. Twins turnover is so high that we dont know who is on whose side until July and by then its too late. The umpire wouldnt let Catcher Pedro Jeminez bat because he didnt have his green card. By Lloyd **** Omdahl According to the earth warming scientists, Florida will be swallowed up by the ocean within the next 100 years. Thats official. North Dakota wont go under until 3076 and it will happen whether we believe in earth warming or not. ****
In a recent PEW poll, 34 per cent of the citizens approved of the Democrats in Congress; 26 per cent approved of the Republicans. Putting them together, PEW reported 17 per cent approval of Congress as whole. That means that when they are together Republicans and Democrats are worse. **** The Annie E. Casey Foundation reported that 66 per cent of the preschool children in North Dakota arent going to school. Nationally, 54 per cent arent going, meaning that at least 12 per cent of the North Dakota kids will be starting life behind the rest of the country. **** Keeping things in perspective. North Dakota paid Chancellor Shirvani $925,000 not to work. In the purchase treaty with Russia, $925,000 would have bought 84,000 square miles of Alaska. (North Dakota is 70,000 square miles.) **** The U. S. Commerce Department reported that GADFLY: from 17 North Dakota is one of the least expensive states in tion, and the divided nature of man. Dr. Faustus has demonstrated great potential in his which to live. Thats putting early years, but after he makes his tragic deal with Lucifer he wastes his power, travels with noblemen (the plutocracy) he tries to impress, fiddles away time playing petty tricks on friends, and in the end is a celebrity hound who fools around with beautiful women. Gee, does that sound like todays politicians?
it gently. The truth is that we are cheap. It is a genetic virtue peculiar to Germans and Scandinavians of whom we have enough to influence statistics. **** Meanwhile, a federal judge told California it must release 9,600 convicts because the prisons are too crowded. Dont tell me whats crowded. I grew up three to a bed. If Governor Brown lets them go, we ought to demand $44 billion in border security for the rest of the country.

This Weekend Have A Few Rounds With The Boys As an old commander of a Marine Corps heavy machinegun platoon I see why young men are fascinated with the power of guns as Dr. Faustus was fascinated with the power of the devil. But when shooting becomes the ultimate video game as played at the Helicopter Sniper Adventure in Aubrey, Texas (where else?), it spreads a certain sickness throughout Gun Culture Land. Customers at this gun range pay $795 for a 15-minute helicopter flight over a practice course, firing off 500 rounds of .223 ammo at targets below in a few minutes. The range advertises on video: This weekend, have a few rounds with the boys. Ohand you get an awards ceremony and lunch for your $795. They didnt say what the awards were about.

Environmental Science professor also said that, Radioactive waste has also been found in rural areas of Fort Berthold. Coyle said, With the hiring of additional inspectors, I hope the Health Department will be able to begin a detailed tracking of toxic waste and ensure continued monitoring of soil, air, water and communities and people who live and work in the oil fields. She said that the Health Department is considering increasing the radioactive level of waste that can be dumped in North Dakota, and she wants a full, scientific study to insure the hydrology and geology of North Dakota can safely handle radioactive waste. Coyle is also concerned that, if the radioactivity level of waste that can be stored here increases, we could become a receiving site for waste from other states. She said, The energy industry and State Health officials have known for years that toxic chemicals and radioactive waste are a byproduct of oil development and safeguards should have

been in place before full-scale development was allowed to move forward. Currently, only low-level radioactive waste from oil wells can be disposed of in North Dakota. The rest must be shipped out of state to an approved dump site. The oil industry has proposed allowing the disposal of higher radioactive waste levels and the opening of new sites, like those at Washburn and Sawyer, to allow disposal in North Dakota. Morrison said there are also several additional dump sites under consideration in Ward, McKenzie and Stark counties. As of yet, there is no known safe level of radioactive waste. This is your chance to say No to toxic waste known to cause cancer. He said, Its not the job of the states Health Department to improve oil industry profits. Its the departments job to make sure the companies follow the law and ship dangerous chemicals and radioactive waste out of state to approved dump sites.

If you oppose Giffords gun control pitch, then you must not appreciate the tragedy of her shooting. If you question the efficacy of new DUI policies, then you must want our roads littered with more bloody wreckage. Of course, we shouldnt shy away from brutal truths in our public debate. Actions have consequences - freedom has consequences - and they often arent pretty to look at. But too often we let a sad story, a maddening story, trump logic and the cool evaluation of unbiased facts. We often let valid criticisms, and prudent counter-arguments, get drowned out by the angst inspired by the politics of emotion.

Spindly petunias or other annual flowers can be pinched back to stimulate bushier growth. Snapdragons should be pinched back after blooming to stimulate another spike of blooms. Harvest gladiolus spikes when the flowers on the bottom third are starting to open, the middle third are swollen and the top third are held tight. Keep four leaves on the plant when cutting, so bulbs can replenish themselves. Keep spikes upright to maintain natural flower shape. The best time to harvest flowers for fresh floral arrangements is in the morning just after the dew has dried away. Re-cut the stems just before placing them in the vase. Perennial flowers can be fertilized now. Dont fertilize in autumn since this will encourage new succulent growth that will be winterkilled.

Vegetables Colorado potato beetles continue to attack our potato, tomato, eggplant and pepper plants. These orange and black-striped beetles can be picked off. Look for their bright orange eggs that can be clustered on the underside of leaves. Simply rub off the eggs or pick off the beetles. For severe infestations, spray with carbaryl (trade name Sevin), one of the most effective beetle killers on the market. Some strains of the natural insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis are safe-to-use and very effective. You can easily tell which flowers on a cucurbit vine are female. Female flowers have a baby fruit attached at their base. Male flowers are more plentiful and do not have fruits attached. Now is a good time to fertilize asparagus. Sidedress 1 pound of 101010 fertilizer per 100 feet of row. Keep your tomato vines adequately watered and mulched to prevent blossom end rot, which forms a hard black spot on the bottom of fruits. This disorder often affects the first fruits. If you see damage, simply pick off these fruits. Now is a good time to plant Chinese cabbage. The
Lawns Most lawns in North Dakota begin to turn yellow and go dormant in July. This is a natural way for our lawns to survive. Its okaythere is nothing wrong in letting your lawn take a summer nap. You can take a break from lawn care, too. You can both be happy. Theres an old trick to see if your lawn is thirsty.
Take a walk across your lawn and look back at your tracks. If you can see your footprints in the grass, the lawn needs a drink. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather. The best time to water your lawn is in the morning. The grass plants are active and will absorb the water they need. The worst time to irrigate is in the evening since the lawn will stay wet all night, leading to diseases. Finally, here is a special notice from the Valley City Community Garden committee.
