Standings More than 1,000 new farmers markets start Racing News WASHINGTON - More than 1,000 new farmers markets have been recorded across the country, according to results released on Aug. 5 in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 201 I National Farmers Market Directory. The annual report •indicates a total of 7,175 farmers markets oper- ate throughout the United States as more farmers are marketing their products directly to consumers than ever before. Last year, the USDA reported that 6,132 markets were operating across the country. "The remarkable growth in farm- Racing Trivia Last Week's Race: Irwin Tools Night Race Results FULL-COLOR REPRINTS OF ANY PHOTO APPEARING ON THESE PAGES ARE AVAILABLE! /'A! ! ers markets is an excellent indicator of the staying power of local and regional foods," said Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Men'i,oan. The:e outlets provide economic benefits for producers to grow their businesses and also to communities by providing increased acce.ss to fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods. In short, they are a critical ingredient in our nation's food system." Do you have questions about the Catholic faith or would like to join the Catholic faith?

Oil activity comes with,a price Hello, I guess this column won't read much like my other HafTip articles. But I feel maybe this is important to say. I don't know how many of you watched the cable show "Mad Money" this past week. They did a show on the oil play in North Dakota. I'm sure that the result of the show will be more workers hitching a ride into Dickinson, Williston, Watford City, and so tbrth. They will be coming from the unemployment lines that stretch across the rest of the nation. They will be bringing wives, children, and carloads of memories from where their life has been a struggle. The Governor assured the nation that we are ready for an influx of people. I would suggest that he be ready to rent out the Governor's mansion, because from what I've seen and heard, everything else is pretty much full. And that can be good, or bad. Good if you are a land- lord that is getting 2 or 3 thousand a month for a house that was unrentable a few years ago. Good if you are in the construction business in North Dakota. But pretty hard on the original residents. Especially eld- erly people on fixed incomes, col- lege students looking for places to rent. and families that are not in the position to get a high salaried job. I don't mean to be critical; I, like many have, and will benefit from oil development. It has made it easier to pay our bills. But we are paying a price for this. And I think we should all be aware of that. I think what made it clear to me was a couple of road trips I took last week. One day we went down to Camp Crook for lunch with grand- kids. Camp Crook isn't much. Or maybe I should say Camp Crook is a lot. There is no Wal-Mart. No McDonatds. If you take the drive to Crook, you probably won't meet more than one or two vehicles in the • drive from Buffalo. If you come south from Marmath, once you get past the oil development, you prob- ably will go twenty miles without meeting anyone. But once you are in Camp Crook, your grandson can bike around town without Mom won3,'- ing that he will be run over by a truck. You won't have a cloud of dust hanging over the countryside from traffic on the gravel roads. The hay and crops along the road won't be covered with dust. You can still write a check (they don't take cred- it cards at the bar) and a dog could take a nap in the street and not get ran over. At Amidon, we attended the Worlds' Fair! Or at least the Slope County Fair. And for the few that don't kfiow this, it is the longest continually running fair in the state of North Dakota. Something over ninety years! At the Slope County Fair, you can still get a heck of a meal for whatever you can spare. They feed hundreds of people for a free will donation to help someone in need. It cost seven dollars for an adult to get into the fair. That would include a rodeo, the exhibits, supper, a com- munity play, visiting with neigh- bors, 4-H sale, and just a nice alter- noon. You could spend, and we did. a darn pleasant day there. Next year, if you want to get off the beaten path a little, take it in. You'd be pleasantly surprised. And once you are on these roads less traveled, you may see some- thing you haven't seen in awhile. You might be able to loosen your grip on the steering wheel and look at the crops and cattle enjoying a summer of blessed rain. You might be able to drive leisurely down a gravel road with your window open and your arm out the window, screaming at the kids to not hang out the window too far and don't touch the door latch. But even in all of this, I found a smile. Many of us have seen the lines of traffic and the hours of delay with the road construction in much of our area. If the flag lady stops you, in minutes traffic is backed up for miles. There was road construction north of Ca'rap Crook Saturday. Carm had to stop there about two o'clock on their way home from the Hills. She was the only one in the line. In visiting with the flag girl, Cann found out she was the fourth car the lady had stopped that day! Now. that's living!'

Because August is a time when many head back to school, Safe Kids North Dakota wants students and drivers to be extra careful when on the roads. "Parents should be proactive and take the time to talk about safety with their kids before they head back to school," says Safe Kids Coordinator, Serena Schmit. "Safe Kids recommends that par- ents walk the route to school with students before the start of the year: to assess hazards and select a course with the least number of traffic crossings." Adults can teach and model the following safety behaviors that all children should follow, even if they don't walk to school every day: While Walking: • Always cross the street with an adult until age 10 • Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and cross- walks when possible • Look left, right and left again when crossing • Always walk, never run, when crossing streets • Walk on sidewalks or paths • Walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible if there ai'e no side- walks While driving: • Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods and school zones • Take extra time to look for children on and near the road, befbre and after school hours • Reduce any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your sun'oundings Y0usaidit, N00hDako00 NOTHING WORKS LIKE NEWSPAIR ADVERTISING. detads, Racing News, Stats & Trivia AdvoCare 500 Sept. 4th, 7:30 pm ESPN Atlanta Motor Speedway 'ru3 1m2 trim4 mll 24' 24" g1OlSd¢ 2,332 fe ; 5" Track Details Location: Hampton, Ga.
