ToUrism leaders honored with
Governor's Travel and Tourism Awards
GRAND FORKS - Gov. Jack
Dalrymple and North Dakota De-
partment of Commerce Tourism Di-
vision Director Sara Otte Coleman
announced this year's recipients of
the Governor's Travel and Tourism
Awards.
Nine outstanding leaders in North
Dakota's tourism industry were rec-
ognized at the 2013 North Dakota
Travel Conference in Grand Forks
on April 17.
Among the awards were:
Old Red Old Ten Scenic Byway,
Tourism Organization of the Year. In
2012, volunteers from Morton and
Stark counties joined forces to cre-
ate the Old Red Old Ten Scenic
Byway Committee. Together, they
created and launched a multi-faceted
tourism project that has had a posi-
tive impact on towns along the Old
Red Old Ten Scenic Byway. The am-
bitious project included a marketing
plan and self-guided tour along the
• scenic byway to attract visitors to the
communities of Mandan, Almont,
New Salem, Glen Ullin, Hebron,
Richardton, Taylor, Gladstone and
Dickinson. The initiatives by this all-
volunteer-committee have motivated
visitors from all over the U.S. to get
off the Interstate and visit these rural
North Dakota communities, thereby
increasing customers at local busi-
nesses.
Officially launched the first
weekend of June 2012 with a 100-
mile garage sale alongthe Old Red
Trail (now an annual event the first
Saturday of June), the project in-
cludes:
• A new, interactive website with
data entered and updated on aft on-
going basis by each community
along the Trail.
• Print materials featuring the en-
tire trail as well as its historic
churchs tO visit.
• Updates to museumsin some of
the cities along the Trail.
• Old Red Trail signage to help
travelers follow the trail between
communities.
• A "talking trail," which features
40 points of interest along the Old
Red Trail. Each point of interest is
marked by a specially-designed sign,
with telephone numbers to call to
hear a brief narrative of the high-
lights for each city and attraction.
This project was funded with
monies approved by the Morton
County. Commission, the Stark
County Park Board, and the Mandan
Visitor's Fund/Mandan City Com-
mission after the Committee devel-
oped the various aspects of the
overall plan.
The Bismarck/Mandan Develop-
ment Association (BMDA) was a
lead organization in assisting the
committee with the project. BMDA
staff assisted with funding sources,
requests for proposals, web design,
print projects, road signage and the
Talking Trails audio stories.
The Old Red Old Ten Scenic
Byway Committee has taken on the
ongoing maintenance of and addition
to the various aspects of the project.
Freezer meals take heat off daily cooking
In the Midwest, most of us have
been looking out our windows at a
giant walk-in deep freeze since late
fall. I think most would agree that we
are ready for the outdoors to go
through a "defrost cycle."
However, instead of complaining
about the weather, let's be inspired by
it. If we are "cooped up" i n our homes
by ongoing snow, sleet or rain, we
could use some of the time indoors to
prepare meals ahead of time and
freeze them.
That way, when warm weather
welcomes us outdoors, we can grab
something homemade from our
freezer. It can cook while you are gar-
dening or mowing the lawn.
Preparing a few meals at a time
and freezing them has several advan-
tages. If we have food ready to pop in
the oven, then we are less likely to eat
out. Meals in restaurants often cost
three or more times the cost of prepar-
ing them at home.
Having meals in the freezer helps
prevent the "what's for dinner?"
dilemma. You have the main course
ready to heat and serve. All you need
to do is add a few items, such as a
sa!a4 ' fruit and milk, tO have, a bal-
If you prepare your own "conve-
nience fSod" at home, you also main-
tain control over the ingredients that
you use. For example, you can use re-
duced-sodium or reduced-fat prod-
ucts if you prefer. If yo.u prefer
enchiladas with less "zing" you can
adjust the spiciness of the salsa you
use to create them.
To add variety to your menus, you
can try "meal exchanges." This works
like a holiday cookie exchange. Try
preparing an extra recipe of a ca, sse-
role and exchanging it for one a friend
prepared.
energize your crew.
Keep things moving smoothly
with these tips:
• Be sure you have space in your
freezer before you begin• You may
need to reorganize your storage area.
• Gather freezer containers or
freezer bags, marling pens and other
supplies you need. You might prefer
to use disposable foil pans, especially
if you are exchanging meals with
other people.'
• Check which ingredients you
already have, and then create a de-
tailed shopping list that combines the
ingredient amounts from all your
recipes. For speedy shopping, organ-
ize your list according to the layout of
your favorite grocery store.
• Organize your workspace and
assemble the tools and equipment you
need.
• Combine similar tasks• If sev-
eral recipes require chopped onions,
chop them all at once,

County starts burn bans t)00ased on fire index
To the editor:
Beginning April 2, 2013, Golden
Valley County began using a perma-
nent burn ban that will automatically
be in place whenever the Fire Range
Index Guide indicates a fire danger
index range of high, very high, or
extreme. If the fire danger range is
high, very high, or extreme, a burn
ban is in effect. If th fire danger
range is medium or low, a burn ban
is not in effect.
It is important to remember to
call before you burn in order to de-
termine the fire danger index.

If a burn gets out of control a£i
jumps to the property of another, you
may be liable for damages and for
the costs of fire suppression. In ad-
dition, burning while a burn ban is
in place constitutes a class B misde-
meanor, which' carries a maximum
penalty Of thirty days in jail, a
$1,000 fine, or boh.

Human Services encourages change of alcohol culture
BISMARCK - April is Alcohol
Awareaaess Month. The'N.D. De-
partment of Humap Services' Divi-
sion of Mental Health •and
Substance Abuse Services encour-
ages North Dakotans to consider
the role they can play in changing
how people think about alcohol use
and abuse.
The department's Prevention
Resource and Media Center created
a video using a montage of news
stories and headlines that shows the
effects alcohol misuse can have on
families and communities• This
four-minute video is online at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQds
vlav6WA. Individuals are invited
to share the video to help lead
change in thei( communities.
The Prevention Resource and
Media Center has other resources
available that illustrate the impact of
substance abuse in our state and
what communities can do to reduce
and prevent binge drinking and
drinking and driving. These educa-
tional materials are free to North
Dakota residents and can be shipped
at no cost. To order online, go
towww.nd.gov/dhs/prevention/seow
.html.
"Alcohol abuse impacts us all,"
said Pamela Sagness, the depart-
ment's prevention administrator.
"Local communities are creating
environments that encourage posi-
tive change and the department has
resources available to continue
these efforts."
North Dakota's alcohol issues
extend beyond underage drinking.
social Sewices moving temporarily

office next to the ambulance build-
ing in Beach, 67 2nd Ave SE. The

is expected to last 2-3 months while
a sewer line is repaired, and a rest-
room and handicapped accessible
entrance is installed• The relocation
starts April 25 until the project is
done.
Adults age 21 or older are the ma-
jority (93 percent) of impaired driv-
ers in N.D. fatal crashes and 44
percent of all adult arrests in the
state are alcohol-related (DOT
2011; Crime in North Dakota,
2011). North Dakotans purchase
higher volumes of alcohol per per-
son (NIAA, 2000-2009) and adult
binge drinking rates in the state are
among the highest.
