The United States should con-sider implementing a biofuels pump program similar to North Dakota’s so that motorists nationwide can have greater access to blended fuels, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-sack said during a recent meeting with state governors in Washington, D.C.

Governor Dalrymple told Vilsack and other members of the National Governors’ Association Natural Re-sources Committee that North Da-kota leads the nation in the number of blender pumps that offer mid-lev-el blends and gasoline blended with up to 85 percent ethanol (E85).

“Secretary Vilsack agreed that the pace of installing blender pumps nationwide has been too slow and that North Dakota is a good example of what can be accomplished when government and private industry work together,” Dalrymple said.

North Dakota’s Biofuels Blender Pump Program provides retailers with one-time funding to help alle-viate the costs of installing blend-er pumps. North Dakota has 157 blender pumps available to motor-ists, more than any other state.

Dalrymple told Vilsack and Inte-rior Secretary Ken Salazar that the Environmental Protection Agency should do its part to expand market access for blended fuels by approv-ing gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol (E15) for use in all vehicles. Currently the EPA has approved the use of E15 for model year 2001 pas-senger vehicles or newer.

Dalrymple said the EPA should provide simple rules so that retail-ers are encouraged to offer E15 and so that consumers have ready access to E15, along with other blended fu-els.

“Making E15 available to con-sumers is in step with North Da-kota’s successful Biofuels Blender Pump Program, which helps retail-ers offer more renewable fuels,” Dal-rymple said. “It’s good for the envi-ronment, it’s good for our farmers and it’s good for the country.”

Vilsack also reported that the nation’s budget crises will impact available funding for the next farm bill.

Dalrymple stressed the need for the USDA to provide effective risk management tools in drafting a new farm bill.

“With their input costs continu-ing to rise, farmers are making tre-mendous investments in their crops and they need to have good risk management tools to protect them from low yields and declining pric-es,” he said.

North Dakota’s legendary activi-ties in March are geared around get-ting back outside, or getting ready to get back outside. Spring is just around the corner, and our various sport and bike shows, plus a wide array of athletic events, means win-ter is fast coming to an end. We chal-lenge you to try these activities and share your experiences with us at RULegendary.com.

Boats, RVs and campers ga-lore

With spring just around the cor-ner, many of us are anxious to pull those summer toys out of hiberna-tion. To get the latest tips on where to go and what’s popular, or to up-grade to a bigger camper to accom-modate a growing family, stop by the Sportsmen’s Boat, Camping & Vaca-tion Show, Fargo, Williston Sport & Recreation Show or the KXMC Sports Show, Minot. These shows are sure to get you excited about the

2011 outdoor recreation season.Spring gardens

It won’t be long before we start seeing signs of spring. That means it’s time to get those home garden-ing and planting plans in order. Check out the Home Design and

Garden Show in Grand Forks or the MAB Home and Garden Show in Minot. Visit an indoor garden, the International Peace Garden, where the Interpretive Center and Conser-vatory displays one of the largest cacti and succulents collections in the country. All are from North and South America, southern Africa and Madagascar.

Sports madnessMarch Madness in North Dako-

ta? You bet! The round ball draws attention at the State Basketball tournaments, NCAA basketball playoffs and final home games for the Dakota Wizards of the NBA De-velopment League. The puck drops at The Ralph, where the UND men’s hockey team begins pursuit of a WCHA championship and a possible NCAA national title, and at Scheels Arena, where the Fargo Force will be on home ice for most of March. Let’s not forget that it’s also rodeo

season with the PRCA Rodeo taking place in Fargo.

St. Patty’s Day funWhere can one go for some Shep-

herd’s pie and a bit o’ the fun Irish traditions in North Dakota? Grab the kids and head to Grand Forks for its annual St. Patrick’s Day parade and visit the down town businesses that also join in the celebration. Try the Blarney Stone in Bismarck to hear authentic bag pipes or enjoy the 33rd annual Running O’ the Green city-wide pub crawl in Jame-stown.

Spring aheadAfter a long winter, you swear

the Harley in the garage is whisper-ing your name. Don’t jump the gun, but get tuned up for the riding sea-son at one of the many motorcycle shows in North Dakota in March. Shows are planned for Minot March 11-13, Fargo and Bismarck March 19-20 and Williston March 19. And

don’t forget the Big Boys Toys Expo in Fargo April 15-16.

These are just a few ideas to help you take advantage of Spring in North Dakota. For more informa-tion, go to NDtourism.com or phone 800-435-5663 or 701-328-2525.

5 Legendary ways to ‘Think Spring’ in North Dakota

Two area professionals joined the Greater Fargo Moorhead Economic Development Corporation (GFMEDC) board of directors.

·Paul von Ebers, Blue Cross Blue Shield of ND, President & CEO

·Todd Kumm, Dakota Supply Group, CEO

New members, von Ebers and Kumm, began their terms Jan. 1.

The board also elected new officers for 2011.

New board officers are:·Board Chair: Ann McConn, Ale-

rus Financial, President·Chair-Elect: Brad Schlossman,

West Acres Development, President·Treasurer: Dennis Millirons,

Sanford Health, President·Secretary: Steve Swiontek,

Gate City Bank, Chairman, President, CEO

Guidance from the board helps the GFMEDC achieve its goals and lay the groundwork for the economic health of Cass County and Clay County, Minn. The board is made up of 33 directors. It includes a nine-member execu-tive committee; 10 at-large members elected from investor businesses; rep-resentatives of the Fargo City Com-mission, West Fargo City Commission and Moorhead City Council; represen-tatives of the Cass County Commission and Clay County Commission; one de-velopment council representative; the

superintendents of Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead public schools; and the presidents of Concordia College, Min-nesota State University Moorhead and North Dakota State University. Board members can serve up to three terms.

The GFMEDC strives to grow the economy of Cass County and Clay County, Minn. by attracting, expand-ing and retaining primary sector businesses. A primary-sector busi-ness is one that brings new dollars into a community through the sale of its products and services outside the trade area. The primary sector is the foundation of an economy and the principal driver of community growth and development.

A local crop insurance agency recently received top honors at an annual crop insurance meet-ing that was held at the Westin Hotel on Michigan Avenue, Chi-cago, Ill.

Ihry Insurance Agency, Inc., Hope, was given a top sales award by Diversified Crop In-surance Services for exceptional sales for the crop year of 2010, therefore putting that agency into the Diversified Crop Insur-ance Services’ Presidents Club. The President’s Club is the high-est honor for an agency which indicates excellence in sales and service. Less than five percent of agents receive this level of achievement.

According to Gary Ihry, owner of Ihry Insurance Agency, Inc., “We are excited and honored to be given this award. We constantly strive to tailor every policy to our clients needs and to have our hard work acknowledged shows that we are doing it right.”

Rod Clark, President of Diver-sified Crop Insurance Services, explained that “having agencies like Ihry Insurance Agency, Inc. who have grown their crop in-surance business to the extent they have by working individu-ally with each client for a more personalized relationship, makes Diversified Crop Insurance Ser-vices so successful. They truly are an inspiration for all other crop insurance agencies.”

Ihry Insurance Agency, Inc. has been in business for over 25 years. They write Multi-Peril, Crop/Hail, Life and Property and Casualty insurance throughout most of Western and Central North Dakota and Western Min-nesota.

Diversified Crop Insurance Services is a part of CGB Diver-sified Services and is headquar-tered in Jacksonville, Ill. The company is a part of the Federal Crop Insurance system and ser-vices policies in over 24 states.

Governor proclaims Pride of

Dakota Day, Month

Gov. Jack Dalrymple has pro-claimed March as Pride of Dakota Month and March 29 as Pride of Dakota Day.

“North Dakota is a leader in the production of quality agriculture and home-crafted products for the United States and the world,” Dal-rymple said. “The Pride of Dakota program serves as an important marketing tool for North Dakota companies that are competing in a global market.”

The governor noted that the Pride of Dakota program, now in its 26th year, has more than 450 active and associate members.

Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, who oversees the program, thanked the governor for the proclamation. He said special activities, including the Pride of Dakota annual meeting and Pride of Dakota Day at the Capitol, are scheduled during the month.

Administered by North Da-kota Department of Agriculture Business Development Division, the Pride of Dakota program pro-vides member companies with cooperative marketing and pro-motional events, such as in-store demonstrations, Pride of Dakota Day, the Holiday Showcases and Harvest Showcase. The program also provides educational oppor-tunities and representation at re-gional, national and international marketing expositions.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. — Pam Gulleson, a senior member of for-mer Sen. Byron Dorgan’s staff, will join North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU). Gulleson will take leader-ship roles with NDFU on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011, as staff executive offi-cer and advisor to the president.

“I am very pleased to be joining the staff of North Dakota Farmers Union,” Gulleson said. “Over the years, I’ve worked very closely with NDFU on issues important to North Dakota family farmers and ranchers and it is an organization for whom I have tremendous respect. I look forward to working with President Robert Carlson, the staff and board, and its members on issues that are important to North Dakotans.”

“I am very pleased that Pam Gulleson has chosen to join NDFU in an executive position,” Robert Carlson said. “She brings a wealth of experience to national and state legislative issues and has a deep passion for advancing the interests

of our members and all North Dako-tans. We are excited to have her on our team.”

Gulleson recently served as Sen. Byron Dorgan’s chief of staff in Washington, D.C., and as North Da-kota state director. She also served in the North Dakota State House of Representatives from 1992 through 2008 from District 26, which rep-resents Sargent, Dickey, Ransom, Richland and LaMoure counties.

Gulleson is married to husband Bill and has three sons Lance, Cody, and Cam. She is a proud partner in a family farm and ranch operation near Rutland, N.D.

Gulleson is well-known as a fight-er for North Dakota family farm op-erations, a key developer of the suc-cessful Red River Valley Research Corridor and regional energy devel-opment. She sponsored numerous innovative renewable energy bills while in the Legislature that have led to expanding North Dakota’s en-ergy activity.

Water billing: Ruth and Bryce attended the city council meeting in Arthur. They would like other communities to be included. Billing and complaints would be taken care of. Cost is $450 per standard meter. The software fees would be shared among the communities. A monthly service fee was discussed for billing and reading of meters. A crew could come in to town and do all households in one day. A person from each household would need to be home. Ongoing costs depend on how many communities are involved.

A generator is needed for the pump house at a cost of $10-20,000. Surplus generators are available at a discount rate from the military. Mike will put in an application for this pro-gram. The city has been red flagged for lack of generator.

Fire Hydrant: This spring we would like to check every fire hydrant with the fire dept. If they don’t work the insides need to be replaced. There are three new ones in town. Should the fire dept be doing this? Ruth will call Jerry to make sure the fire dept checks all the fire hy-drants in town.

New BusinessMike and Randy attended the Water

Training Expo in Bismarck. Next year it will be in Fargo.

Wet snow should be removed off the streets before more snow falls. Bryce will see if his brother can smooth out the roads with a blade.

Flood preparations: The city will get a load of sand for sandbags. Ruth will ask Jerry about pumps, tractors, digging out the ditches, contact Jetway to open up culverts. We’ll know more at the March city council meeting.

Just monkeying around at the zoo

Photos by Amanda Gades/The Reporter

The white-faced saki at the Red River Zoo looked inside the paper cups for the treats of nuts, grapes and crackers. Cups were decorated by five children during an educational program, “Pint-size Explorers: A Barrel of Monkeys” at the zoo Wednesday, March 9. The children, with the assistance of zoo educator Nicole Lee, later hung the cups in the exhibit.

The two white-faced saki monkeys, which are native to Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela, are housed in the Shelly Ellig Entrance Building at the zoo. The monkeys, Comet and Zeke, have been at the Red River Zoo for about one year.
