Department of Human Services and
the N.D. Department of
Commerce's Division of
Community Service remind North
Dakotans that emergency cooling
assistance is available for individu-

who qualify for the Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP).
"Record-breaking temperatures
coupled with high humidity can be
life threatening to people with cer-
tain medical conditions," said Carol
Cartledge, Economic Assistance
Policy Division director. "'States
can implement emergency cooling
assistance programs to help prevent
heat-related illnesses in vulnerable
low-income individuals."
To qualify, current energy assis-

North Dakota Game and Fish
Department fisheries personnel,
along with staff from the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service fish
hatcheries, recently stocked 8.3
million walleye fingerlings in 88
lakes and rivers across the state.
Jerry Weigel, fisheries produc-
tion and development section
leader for the Game and Fish
Department, said while this
year's goal was to meet or exceed
last year's record stocking of 11.5
million walleye, challenges from
flooding and cooler spring weath-
er reduced hatchery output.
The Garrison Dam (7.7 million
fingerlings) and Valley City
(600,000) national fish hatcheries
were both hampered by Mother
Nature - Valley City with high
flows and Garrison Dam with
limited food production due to a
cool spring and record releases.
Despite those challenges,
Weigel said fish quality was good
and stocking conditions were
great, with lots of cool water and
flooded vegetation at the stocking
sites. "'Given all the problems
with the cool spring and flooding,
production turned out remarkably
well," he said.
That was also the case with
northern pike (2.3 million
stocked in 59 waters), and early
indications are that stocking
efforts and natural reproduction
have set the stage for another
good year for both walleye and
pike.
Fisheries personnel will know
more this fall when crews check
on survival rate of the stocked
fish and determine the amount of
natural reproduction.
land in these rest areas is private, so
hunters may need permission to hunt.
The early hunting season is
intended to reduce local Canada
goose numbers.
Despite liberalized regulations
the past several years, with longer
seasons, large bag limits and
expanded shooting hours the
statewide population remains high,
with numbers well above popula-
tion goals.
As proposed, the early season
would end in the Missouri River
zone Sept. 7, while the rest of the
state would have an ending date of
Sept. 15. The Missouri River zone
closes early to provide additional
late season hunting opportunities by
adding these days to the end of the
regular season.
For additional information and
regulations, hunters should refer to

Hello,
I sure appreciated all the offers
to buy Vern Baker. Well, actually,
there were no offers to buy Vern
Baker. But I did have a lot of" peo-
ple question my sanity in keeping
such a dog. I guess you could say it
is compulsive, obsessive behavior.
Which is not an indication of sani-
ty.
Because of Vern, we can't have
screen doors on the house. He finds
screen doors a public nuisance. He
doesn't just tear a hole in them and
go in and out of the house. He rips
them from the frame. And, as on
our reinforced sliding glass door,
when he couldn't rip the screen
from the frame, he removed the
entire frame. Actually, for not hav-
ing any tools, he did a pretty good
job.
But the lack of tight screen
doors ha.s been a problem for us
before.
I was smiling to myself this
morning as I carried Ve.rn's latest
project to the dumpster.
Years ago, in a land far, far
away, we had a screen door on the
ranch house that was in need of
repair. Shirley had been after me
for quite •awhile to fix the door on
the porch. I kind of put it off. She
hadn't married a carpenter. She had
married a cowboy. One day there
was a rattlesnake on her
Cattlewoman of the Year plaque!
Really! A small, but very agitated
rattlesnake in Shirley's office on
her cattlewoman stuff. Even I don't
touch her cattlewoman stuff! That
snake was committing suicide. She
insisted I fix the door. After seeing
what she did to that snake, I was
thinking maybe I should. In a day
or two.
A couple nights later, she awoke
me with a sharp jab of her elbow. I
mean she really whacked me. She
could hear a burglar in the living
room. I listened. I have bad ears.
But, then I heard it! There had to be
more than I! We lied there whisper-
ing. I kept urging Shirley to peek
out and see how many there were.
She said I had to. I was the man. I
hated to argue. We couldn't call the
cops. We lived 35 miles from town.
And the cops didn't like me any-
way.
As we listened, I heard them
move some furniture. There had to
be more than one. I quietly slipped
out of bed and began to dress.
Shirley was a little agitated that I
was taking time to dress. I had a
reason. I didn't want to be in my
underwear when the ambulance
came for me.
I tiptoed over to the closet and
found a Ping driver. That is a golf
club for you less educated. I quiet-
ly eased down the hall, stopping to
listen. I had to go to the bathroom.
It sounded like there were at least
two, possibly three. My legs were
shaking like a kid getting on his
first bareback horse. I wanted to
throw up. But I had to protect my
young wife.
I got to the living room light and
was recalling nay Fort Leonard
Wood training. I was a killing
machine. I flipped the light on, let
out an apache war whoop and
charged into the fray! I may die, but
I was going to get the first swing in.
It scared the Hell out of Okie.
Okie was a saddle horse that was
teaching the kids to bah'el race!
In the morning, I fixed the
screen door. A fly or two is one
thing. A small snake is kind of bad.
But when a 1300 pound horse can
get through the screen, it's time.
Later, Dean
/he.

Brickyard 400 Preview
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was built
on 328 acres of farmland five miles onr~west
of Indiana's capital city in the spring of 1909.
When ~e first race took place in August, 1909¢
the celebration quickly turned into a disaster due to the
surface of crushed stone and tar. There were terrible
injuries to the race car dnvers and spectators. Cars
caught fire, there were deaths, and the race was halted
and canceled when only halfway completed. The safety
concerns for race drivers and spectators eventually led to
a substantial additional expenditure to pave the track
surface with 3.2 million paving bricks, and gave the track
its popular nickname, "The Brickyard".
