Usually Grandma responded with a comment about the weather or offered a remembrance from her past days living on the family farm where my mother and four siblings grew up. But today she had no reaction. When I reached for Grandma’s hand under the covers, it was cool. I knew what was happening. “You might not live much longer, Grandma,” I pronounced solemnly.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS the appreciation we feel for all the prayers, cards, memorials, flow-ers and food received after the passing of our mother. To Lisbon Ambulance, CHI Hospital and Family Medical Clinic, we are so fortunate to have these great ser-vices right here in our community. To Parkside Lutheran Home for the love and care our mother received while a resident there. She cared so very much for all the staff, loved the activities, reading, playing cards, marbles, puzzles and word search. She strongly believed in staying active and doing her therapy with-out fail. To the staff at Beverly Anne for the care given, friendships made and the chance to continue her love of gardening while there. Blessings to Pastor Hambleton for your visits and guidance this past year, for your words of comfort to the family and the beautiful funeral service. To Redeemers Ladies Aid for serving lunch. To Charlie & Debbie Armstrong for all your help and kindness. You have a God given ability for what you do and it will be missed. You did not pass like a shadow but filled her life with love and caring. With the deepest gratitude we thank you all for being a part of her life.

winced feebly and seemed to try to move her mouth, but no sound came forth.
I wondered what to do. A thought occurred.
“If you can hear me, Grandma, blink your eyes.” Her eyes that had been shut, opened slightly and Grandma discernibly blinked them shut.
“Are you scared?”Grandma blinked again.
She seemed to try to work her jaw as if to speak.
“I didn’t get that right, did I?” I commented. I paused as another thought came. “Are you concerned about the rest
of us, like my Mom and every-one else on this earth whom you love?” Grandma blinked assertively.
“You can help us more in our lives here when you reach your next life,” I suggested, as I squeezed her hand.
Grandma’s face relaxed. “Would you like to pray Grandma?” Her eyelids parted and shut again.
“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name…,” I intoned. “Please give Grandma safe passing.”
Grandma’s breathing was barely discernible.
A few minutes passed. “Are you ready now?”
Grandma’s eyes barely cracked and calmly creased shut. “Goodbye Grandma, I’m going to get Mom.”
Despite tears clouding my eyes, and excellent joy surging through my entire being, I hur-ried to my mother’s apartment in the next building attached to the nursing home. A few minutes later, Grandma passed, with only Mom present.
Powerful events and some of our most impactful learning can occur in the blink of an eye.
by Julie Garden-Robinson Food and Nutrition SpecialistPrairie Fare
“Mom, just because they put it on your plate doesn’t mean you have to eat it,” my 12-year-old com-mented as we sat at a table at a culi-nary college in another state.
Every time I finished a slice of fresh bread, one of the attentive culi-nary students placed another slice on my plate. I finally asked them to remove the plate.
My husband, our daughters and I were having fun in a fancy student-run restaurant complete with white linen tablecloths and napkins, but without the fancy price tag. Our daughters giggled when the students arrived with the small table-cleaning brush to remove the bread crumbs. We don’t have that type of tool in our home.
Only one item did not agree with my palate during our three-course meal. A student came by with a plat-ter of beautiful appetizers, but she was very soft-spoken and I did not catch what she said when she placed one on my plate. It had a base of bread, a tan-colored filling and some tiny pieces of chopped beet on top.
“What did she say this is?” I asked my husband quietly.
“I have no idea,” he replied. We both took a bite simultaneously.
I wish I could have seen the gri-mace on my face because my family laughed. We still didn’t know what we ate.
I asked the next attentive student who came by with our soup course.
“That was duck foie gras,” he replied.
I recognized the term. I had just eaten the pureed liver of a fattened duck, and it is considered a delicacy to some.
Spoiler alert: Duck liver will not be featured in a recipe in this column now or ever.
Having taught many food classes, I was entertained by the instructors walking by to check if the students had placed the utensils properly on the table. The students served from the left and removed plates from the right.
Class was in session around us and we also were instructing our daughters about table etiquette.
“We should have dressed up for lunch,” our older daughter commented. She and her sister were dressed in shorts and T-shirts because this was a spur-of-the-moment plan.
Our daughters were studying us carefully, so I was trying to be on my best behavior. My elbows never touched the table.
I put my napkin in my lap, and they dutifully followed suit. This was fun, sort of like a pantomime version of “Simon says.”
We had an entire lineup of uten-sils to use and a variety of glasses, which was more complicated than the average meal in the Robinson household.
“Just work from the outside to the center when you are using the utensils,” my husband noted.
“The salad fork is on the left side farthest from the plate and the dinner fork is closer to the plate,” I added in a quiet voice. “Your soup spoon is the farthest utensil on the right. Be sure to scoop your soup away from you and don’t slurp.”
We had a “dining experience” as we enjoyed our meal. Eating more slowly allows time to enjoy food
and provides an opportunity for your brain and stomach to connect. I cut a couple of bites from my roasted chicken and asparagus main course.
Mealtime etiquette varies a bit depending on where you live. According to some standard meal etiquette rules, the napkin stays in your lap until the end of the meal and then gets placed to the left of the plate. You do not need to refold it.
Using a cellphone at the table is considered bad etiquette, so I curbed my desire to do some quick check-ing about etiquette.
The way that forks and knives are managed at the table varies by location. Most people in the U.S. use “American style” handling of knives and forks. When cutting meat, right-handed people hold the fork in their left hand and cut with their knife with their right hand. Then they swap the position of the utensils to eat.
In “continental style” dining, the fork remains in the left hand, tines down, and the knife in the right hand. You do not switch hands, and you do not set your utensils down.
To me, this would be like eat-ing “left handed,” which might be a good diet plan because the food would fall off the fork before reach-ing my mouth. I probably wouldn’t starve. In continental style, when you need a drink of water, you put both utensils down, crossing the knife over the fork.
I could not remember the exact position the knife and fork needed to be on my plate to signal we were done. I looked over my shoulder at the people at the next table and followed their lead. Their utensils
seemed to be at about the 4:20 posi-tion, if you think of plates as a clock face. (They knew what they were doing.)
Signaling you are “resting” before continuing to eat can be shown in many ways, but the knife and fork are kept on the plate.
If you like to host fancy dinner parties, you can find “rules” in many cookbooks, especially older cook-books with an entertaining guide. For example, passing the salt and pepper together is a good rule. Tech-nically, you should not salt and pep-per food without tasting it first.
I recommend having a dining experience now and then. Here’s a recipe fairly similar to my main course at the culinary school.
Rosemary Roasted Chicken1 (3-pound) whole chickenSalt and pepper (as desired)1 small onion, quartered1/4 c. chopped fresh rosemaryPreheat oven to 350 F. Season
the chicken with salt and pepper as desired. Stuff the cavity with rose-mary and onion. Place in a roasting pan or large baking dish. To prevent drying out and browning, you may want to cover the chicken loosely with aluminum foil. Roast for two to 2 1/2 hours, until juices run clear and the internal temperature is 165 F. Baste the chicken a couple of times during roasting with the juices in the pan.
A 3-ounce portion of roasted chicken (about the size of a deck of cards) without skin and without added salt has 150 calories, 7 grams (g) fat, 20 g protein, 0 g carbohy-drate, 0 g fiber and 80 milligrams sodium.

What am I doing?“What am I doing?”The question came from a per-
plexed young student who was part of a school-sponsored field trip to the Dickinson Research Extension Center. These young people were spending the day in an agricultural environment, walking through our pastures and fields, as well as the farm shelter belts planted in the past decades.
The students had so much to look at, to experience, to listen to,
to speak about or to breathe in.A local tree pruner estimated
some of the center’s ash trees as being up in the 70s for age. Some of these plants could well be reaching the 100-year milestone.
So what do the cedars and grass communities have to say about that? Well, let’s just say the plants’ longevity supplied a good resting place for those planting the ash.
So, while I was puzzled by the question, “What am I doing?” I looked around and something dawned on me. I had missed the point. The point was so big that I was baffled.
Part of the day’s tour included planting trees. After a demonstra-tion of how to plant a tree, teams of three students were provided a pail of composted soil, a tree, a large spade and a small trowel. The potential planting locations were marked with a flag. The water source was in the middle of the gathering of excited students. And away they went.
As one of a group of leaders, I wandered around helping where the students seemed to have a need, and thus the question. I asked one student wearing a puz-zled look and standing by a flag what was the problem. “What am I doing?” the student queried.
At that moment, I thought, “What a profound question.” How in the world did we get into a situation where children are so disconnected from the liv-ing world around them that they would ask such a broad question?
I started to look around, soon realizing that for some children, this was their first attempt at dig-ging a hole, at moving soil, at holding a plant, at touching the living roots, placing the plant and roots appropriately, covering the roots with soil, emptying a bucket of soil, packing the soil around the tree and watering the finished planting.
I observed how the children took soil from the bucket to fill in the hole, a scoop at a time. I thought, “Why don’t you just dump the bucket?” I watched how the children emptied the bucket filled with water, a little at a time. I thought, “Why don’t you just dump the bucket?”
Then it dawned on me: Today’s children are far removed from interacting with the living things around them. They do not know.
A flashback, at least for me, was my city cousins arriving on the farm each summer. We had many troughs in which to feed the sheep grain and would spread out the grain across the troughs before the sheep were let in to eat. Without failure, when I would hand my cousins a bucket of grain, they would dump the entire bucket in one spot in one trough.
I thought that was rather stu-pid. No way can 500 sheep eat out of one spot in one trough. In reality, they did not know any better.
I watched with amazement at how the students, today’s children, approached the task of planting a tree. Their combined knowledge was good, they are smart, but to touch, to feel, to understand, to actually do the task was not easy. Thus the student response: “What am I doing?”
We have a problem and it is not going away. Our children do not know or understand living food systems.
The tree planting was in a pasture where the center ran cow-calf pairs last summer. Along the walkways and trails were numer-ous “cow pies,” as I call them, but essentially last year’s dried-up cow manure. Again, a flashback, as I so wanted to invite the stu-dents to gather up the “cow pies” and have a “cow chip” throwing contest.
Cow chips are cow pies that have been gathered up off the

prairie and stored for later use, such as a fuel in the old days or simply a throwing contest today, but that was not on the agenda.
Perhaps my own lack of desire to visit with a concerned parent wondering why his or her chil-dren had been encouraged to play in cow dung was the heart of my fear. I felt bad. Instead, I encour-aged them to at least kick the cow pies and note the abundance of life underneath them.
Life is in the soil, on the soil and underneath the topsoil, and perhaps we need to have more dirty days to figure that out. That would be good. Understanding the world we live in, the dirty world we live in, is important. Connecting the dots, as one might say, all the way from the seed, the soil and the water to the magnifi-cent 60-year-old tree is important.
Life is a progressive move-ment of many events, and the failure of any one event can have devastating effects. So walk in the country, observe and perhaps plant a tree.
May you find all your ear tags.
Answers To YourSocial Security
???Questions???Howard I. Kossover, Social Security Public
A� airs Specialist for North DakotaSend Your Questions To: [email protected]
Q: On long does a my Social Secu-rity password stay valid?
A: Establishing your online my Social Security account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ allows immediate access to your Statement and online services for people already receiving benefits. For security reasons, your password is valid for 6 months. If your password expires, you can change it the next time you sign in. You can also change your password at any time after signing in to your account. You set your own user name and password when creating your my Social Security account. If either is forgotten, go to the “Sign in” section and follow instruc-tions.
Q: Can my stepdaughter receive from my record when I retire?
A: Perhaps. When you qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, your biological, adopted or dependent stepchildren may also qualify on your record. In general, the child must be unmarried, and either younger than age 18, age 18 – 19 and still in high school, or over age 18 with a severe disabil-ity that began before age 22. See the publication “Benefits for Children” at www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10085.pdf. Benefits paid for your children will not decrease your own benefit.
Did you know? Changes to the Social Security homepage, www.socialsecurity.gov, recently took place, the largest being to the menu. Now all topics are reached through one Menu button instead of by the several topic boxes previously used. Related coding changes speed up page loading and make the entire website easier to view by smartphones.
A new Menu button is at top right of the homepage. Clicking on this shows a large dropdown box. The left side of the new Menu box has links to topics formerly scattered around the homepage. Here you will find FAQ’s, how to contact Social Security includ-ing local office information, website accessibility help, information in other languages besides English, and other items.
On the right side of the menu box are all the topics previously reached through separate boxes. At a glance, you see all topics instead of looking in different areas. Topics remain grouped by content, including Benefits, Busi-ness & Government, Information for selected groups and Agency Informa-tion. Links within each topic brings you to the same pages as before. Some pages had minor changes.

Poison ivy symptoms may include:• A contact dermatitis rash characterized by bumps and blisters that itch.• Swelling in the area of contact can occur.• Blisters that eventually break open, ooze and then crust over. If you do come into contact with poison ivy, you should remove the plants oil from your skin as soon as possible by cleansing with soap and water, repeat a few times. Wash your clothes and shoes too! Poison ivy can’t be spread from person to person by touching the blisters or fluid inside the blisters, however it can be spread from the plant oils that remain on skin, clothes or shoes. It’s always important to wash your hands, clothes and shoes as soon as possible after contact with the plant.
Should you get poison ivy there are over-the-counter medications that can help
alleviate the discomfort.
Stop in and discuss these with your local Thrifty White Pharmacist!
Learning to identify and avoid poison ivy while enjoying nature is important. Nearly 85% of the population will have an allergic reaction to the plant.

Summer activities often revolve around fireworks, barbeques, and campfires and it is important to know the laws and techniques to keep you and your family safe this season. Many cities do not allow fireworks within city limits. Check with local emergency management authorities to find out what laws apply in your area. The safest way to enjoy fireworks is through public displays conducted by professional pyro-technicians. Fireworks can be legally sold June 27th through July 5th (NDCC 23-15-01).
Fireworks Safety• Make sure there is no burn
ban and that fireworks are legal in your county.
• Never light fireworks indoors or near dry grass.
• Always have a bucket of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to operate the fire extinguisher properly.
• Do not wear loose clothing while using fireworks.
• Stand several feet away from lit fireworks.
• If a device does not go off, do not stand over it to investigate. Instead put it out with water and dispose of it.
• Always read the directions
and warning labels on fireworks.• Supervise children around
fireworks at all times.Barbecue Safety• Before using a grill, check the
connection between the propane tank and the fuel line.
• Make sure the venturi tubes - where the air and gas mix - are not blocked.
• Do not overfill the propane tank.
• Do not wear loose clothing while cooking at a barbecue.
• Be careful when using lighter fluid. Do not add fluid to an already lit fire because the flames
Summer fire safety remindercan flashback up into the container and explode.
• Keep all matches and light-ers away from children. Teach your children to report any loose matches or lighters to an adult immediately. Supervise children around outdoor grills.
• Dispose of hot coals properly - douse them with plenty of water, and stir them to ensure that the fire is out. Never place them in plastic, paper or wooden containers.
• Never grill/barbecue in enclosed areas - carbon monoxide could be produced.
• Make sure everyone knows to stop, drop and roll in case a piece of clothing does catch fire. Call 911 or your local emergency number if a burn warrants serious medical attention.
• Keep grills a safe distance away from siding, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
Campfire Safety• When camping, be familiar
with the campground rules for the use and extinguishing of camp-fires.
• Build campfires at least 15 feet away from tent walls, shrubs or other materials that burn.
• Build campfires where they will not spread, away from dry grass and leaves.
• Keep campfires small, and don’t let them get out of hand.
• Keep plenty of water and a shovel around to douse the fire when you’re done. Stir it and douse it again with water.
• Never leave campfires unat-tended.

FROM THE International Water Institute
Water has no substitute. Use it wisely.There is no substitute for fresh-
water. In the last few years the Red River Basin has had little to worry about in terms of too much water or too little. Flooding has been minimal and despite some dry periods the rain has been present. We know all too well in this region things can change quickly and may or may not include the entire Red River Basin.
The time to plan and prepare for flood events and drought is now. Significant steps have been taken to reduce risks from flooding but what happens when there just simply isn’t enough water. Without deliberate, thoughtful planning, competition for water will become more intense as agricultural, municipal, industrial, and recreational users find them-selves playing a high-stakes game of musical chairs. With a proactive plan, modest changes in how we manage, use and conserve water could have big results.
These plans and lifestyle changes need to occur while we have enough water and drought has not begun. There are a number of things that communities are doing which include making drought plans, conserving water, building dams and other struc-tures that help us store water, and learning about drought and the envi-ronment.
What can you do?National Geographic.com out-
lines several things you can do to help us better prepare for future droughts:
1. Choose outdoor landscaping appropriate for your climate. Native plants and grasses that thrive on natu-ral rainfall only are best.
2. Install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators. Because you’re saving hot water, you’ll also reduce your energy bill.
3. If you’re in the market for a toilet, buy a low-volume, ultra low-volume, or dual-flush model.
4. Fix leaky faucets. All those wasted drops add up—sometimes to 10-25 gallons a day
5. Run your dishwasher and wash-ing machine only when full. When it’s time to replace them, buy a water- and energy-efficient model. Remember, saving water saves energy, and saving energy saves water.
6. Buy less stuff. Everything takes water to make. So if we buy less, we shrink our water footprint.
7. Recycle plastics, glass, metals,
and paper. Buy re-usable products rather than throw-aways, as it takes water to make most everything.
8. Turn off the tap while brush-ing your teeth and washing the dishes. Shave a minute or two off your shower time. Millions of people doing even the little things makes a difference.
9. Know the source of your drink-ing water—the river, lake, or aquifer that supplies your home. Once you know it, you’ll care about it. You just won’t want to waste water.
When you get home today, using the list above, take an inventory of places in your life, home and yard where you could make some changes to conserve water. And remember the next time you turn on the faucet or hose, that water has no substitute and is our most precious resource.

If a drought occurs, are we ready?In July 2015 several weather
forecasting services predicted a drought in regions of the world affected by the now-diminish-ing El Nino weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean. European weather models, said Bill Kirk of the long-term weather forecast-ing service, Weather Trends, sug-gested an unusually dry growing season in 2016 as the summer progresses throughout most of the American West, the High Plains and the Western Corn-belt.
The U.S. Drought Monitor, which issues weekly updates of precipitation patterns throughout the U.S., indicates an increase in agricultural areas where precipi-tation is short, including some portions of the country where excessive rainfall occurred ear-lier this year. Farmers in many parts of the country became accustomed to adequate rain-fall during the past two years, except in the West where chronic drought continues despite signif-icant snowfall and rainy periods this past winter.
Are we ready if a drought occurs during the remaining part of the growing season? Having behavioral adaptations in mind is useful proactive preparation in case drought mounts.
The federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Disaster Technical Assistance Center (DTAC) offers helpful information about preparing for drought and coping with ongoing drought at: http://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/disaster-distress-helpline/disaster-types/drought.
The SAMHSA website has several downloadable resources and maintains a Disaster Distress Helpline which can be accessed by calling 1-800-985-5990, or texting TalkWithUs to 66746. Spanish-speakers should text Hablanos to 66746.
Some of the best resources for coping emotionally with drought are persons who have endured prolonged episodes of dry weather, such as experienced neighboring farmers. My friend, Dr. Bob Fetsch of the Colo-rado State University Extension Service, grew up on a farm in North-Central Texas, a place that drought regularly seems to visit.
Over his years of farming and experience at CSU, Fetsch devel-oped some of the best tips for coping with drought that I know of:
• Resilient people re-frame
and adjust their thinking and reactions away from a sense of lack and toward a sense of options
• There is always more than one option to solve any problem
• Stress and depression cause farmers and rural residents to have an increased risk for sub-stance abuse problems, farm accidents, injuries and self-harm
• Depression and stress dur-ing tough times, like drought, often result in conflicts with spouses and poor parenting prac-tices that may cause problems for youth that can be reflected by their school achievement, peer relations, behavior problems, self-confidence, depression and substance misuse
• Talking with others about what troubles us is a great stress reliever, especially when sharing the uncertainty that accompanies drought
• Talking with knowledgeable persons generates options, hope and a feeling of mutual endur-ance through tough times like drought.
Hope during drought is elu-sive. As a consultant to the SAMHSA DTAC and as director of numerous crisis counseling programs in Iowa, I developed my own “take” on coping with drought.
Several years ago I wrote that drought diminishes hope, and I still stand by that. I’ve made a few refinements to recommenda-tions for preparing and coping that augment the advice of Dr. Fetsch.
• Hope is a virtue as well as a feeling. We can’t always detect how much hope we have until we have none. We get scared and fearful when we have nothing that brings us hope for something better.
• Our best coping is done with others. My experience is that farm people are healthier when sharing concerns with oth-ers we trust and whose advice we respect than when we keep our worries to ourselves.
• Talking, sharing losses and worrying together can lead to solutions. A positive synergy develops when we toss out ideas and consider others’ reactions. Often a creative atmosphere develops that in itself gener-ates hope with ways to deal with drought’s threats.
• We can’t produce benefi-cial bodily chemicals when con-stantly dreary. Talking, working,
playing and praying together produce positive biological and psychological benefits.
• The sense of community empowers us to keep going.
In my part of western Iowa presently we have plenty of sub-soil moisture but little topsoil moisture. Corn is reaching for subsoil moisture and grabbing onto nitrogen and other nutri-ents, while beans are adjusting as they typically do by sending out peripheral roots around the plant.
Grass and legumes in pas-tures went to seed early due to the heat in June after a cool wet May. The first hay crop was spectacularly abundant, but the second crop foliage is looking sparser.
Crop insurance offers con-siderable protection from the economic effects of drought to farmers who signed up for suf-ficient coverage. Already, com-modity grain and oilseed prices are climbing, which abates some of the concerns if the crops yield less than farmers have become accustomed to during the past couple years.
Nonetheless, the next 10 weeks will be stressful as farm-ers in my area and many other parts of the country keep a hope-ful eye toward the horizon for rain-bearing clouds.
