"on me o d tihterregulation of out-of-state pro- culators about the 'need to get it N.D. Matters By Lloyd Omdahl Initially, I cited the incarceration people to initiate measures" and"on meters if the practice is going to right." of a petition leader /'or signature fraud in the 1960. Secretary of State Jaeger has added a couple more inci- dents, noting that his office has pros- ecuted petition fraud in 1994, 2(X)6 and 2008. The 1994 case was the most sig- nificant because the fraudulent sig- natures kept a measure off the ballot that would have let voters decide the fate of term limits for public offi- cials. In 2012. signature fraud kept two measures off the ballot, a major blow to advocates of natural resources and those favoring med- ical marijuana. The perpetrators of these frauds are now being processed in the criminal justice sys- tem. Secretary of State Jaeger sees the process as involving two rights - the other hand, the right of the rest of the people to know that the signa- tures were legitimately secured." The 2013 legislature will certain- ly be looking at the initiative and referral process with these rights in mind. One option could be registration of petition carriers to guarantee that they are legally qualified• Also, because most of the violators have been younger people, circulators need to be trained and required to sign a statement that they have read the basic roles of petition circula- tion. All of the nlajor cases - 1960s, 1994 and 2012 - involved payment to the circulators for collecting sig- natures. Since the love of money is the root of all evil, payment for sig- natures led to shortcuts and quotas become a growing industry The adoption of the initiative and referendum was based on the idea of citizen involvement, with folks car- rying petitions for causes in which they personally believed. Payment for signatures and out-of-state spon- sorship certainly dilute this philoso- phy. Some legislators think that reclassifying the crime fi'om a mis- demeanor to a felony would empha- size the seriousness of contaminat- ing the initiative and referendum. Historically, the maxinmm pun- ishment for a misdemeanor - up to one year in jail and a $2000 fine - has never been imposed on viola- tors. So we don't seem to need the increased penalties of a felony. Even so, there are other persuasive arguments ['or changing the crime to "'The integrity of tim election process is based on following the law,'" .laeger argues, "and that is why it might be worth having it raised to a Mony.'" I would add one more point. If the violation were a felony, the threat of rendition (bringing fugitive violators back fi'om outside of North l)akota) would become more real. With so many out-of-state interests and temporary residents involved, the availability of rendition wouM give elfforcement real clout. While securing the integrity of the initiative and referendnm, how- eve]', we need to guard against mak- ing the process too cumbersome. As Thomas Jefferson once said: "The hole and the patch must be commen- surate." And who can argue with Thomas Jefl'erson? After all that watering, do you want to waste the tomatoes? "Could you freeze the rest of the tomatoes tomon'ow?" I asked my husband. I had filled a large box and a 5- gallon pail with large, ripe tomatoes• I also was packing to leave for a con- ference the next day. "Have you looked in the freezer lately?" he responded. I opened the upright chest freezer and was greeted by a wall of red tomatoes packed in every possible open space. "OK, I see there's no room. Do you want to try canning the tomatoes while I'm gone? You helped me make salsa, and canning plain toma- toes is easier," I coaxed• He just looked at me without say- ing a word. I think I chuckled, which probably wasn't the right response. He probably thought I had somehow controlled the ripening of the toma- toes. "Alter all that watering, do you want to waste the tomatoes? We can pick up some more quart jars, so you will use the tomatoes faster," I addtd. Appeaiing't0 his economical and' efficient sides usually works. "Oh, Ok, I'll can them. Can you print the directions?" he asked. I went to our computer and print- ed out one of our most popular NDSU Extension Service canning guides, "Canning and Freezing Tomatoes and Making Salsa" avail- able at • NORTH DAKOTA Ill SII.ENI,ElllI=,. http://www.ag.ndsu,edu/pubs/yf/foo ds/fn 175.pdf. "Be sure to add 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice to each quart of tomatoes and 1 tablespoon per pint. All tomatoes need added acid to be safely canned." I noted. "Is that written in the directions?" he asked. "Yes, it's fight here," I noted. A day later, when I was at my conference, | received a text message from him: "'i'm canning tomatoes. How long do I boil the lids•? '' I texted back: "'Don't boil the lids! Simmer them." In tact, I called him at this point. If you boil the lids, the jars might not seal. You need to prepare the lids according to the directions, which usually involves simmering. You also need to process tbe jars in a boil- ing water bath or prissufe canner 16( "the recommended amount Of time. " I didn't receive any text messe, ges for several hours. Then my cell phone indicated I had a new mes- sage. The text said: "'Finished 17 quarts of tomatoes.'" "'Did they seal?" I texted back. "All sealed," he responded. When I an-ived home several days later, I saw the fruits of his labor all neatly arranged on our countertop. He went out to the garden the next day and gleaned the rest of the toma- toes: enough for 8 pints• "Have you noticed all the ripe apples on the tree'?" I asked, a bit tongue in cheek. "'Yes, 1 was thinking I could try making apple pie filling. I saw the pie filling canning guide on the NDSU website,'" he responded. t almost fell over. We have a "'Fruit Pie Fillings" guide at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foo ds/fi1434.pdf and a fruit canning guide at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foo ds/fn 174.pdf. So, we will be enjoying lots'of tomato-based soup, stew. casseroles and other dishes made with our homegrown tomatoes this winter, perhaps served with an apple dessert. Tomatoes can be used in a variety of ways, and we have niany forms available to us. Tomatoe are low in : "., ,. . ,f'/' ! ",' . . t, calorieS and nutrmnt-rich. One half tomatoes.
