Jamestown (NDFU) – North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) has released a children’s book, Our Family Farm, to tell the story of family farm agriculture.
NDFU President Mark Watne says, “It’s one of many tools we’re using to educate the public about the importance of family farm agriculture to our state and nation. Its subtitle, ‘Everyone Works on a Family Farm,’ definitely will resonate with anyone who has ever lived on a farm or visited a farm.”
The hardcover, oversized 34-page book tells the story of the Rhodes family farm, where multi-generations work together to feed livestock and grow crops. They do so with the help of Rocky the dog and their trusty farm equipment, each with its own name and personality. The book depicts the food production chain from farm to plate.
Well known, author and illustrator Dana Sullivan, who created the commissioned work, says, “I love that I got to work on a book that is so topical and important right now by showing kids and their parents where the food they eat actually comes from, The food grown by family farmers in North Dakota not only feeds the U.S., but a big part of the world.”
Book sale proceeds go to support NDFU’s youth education program and humanitarian efforts, research initiatives that enhance rural life, and rural economic development opportunities.
The book retails for $16.95 and can be purchased online at ndfu.2020brands.com or call 1-800-366-NDFU.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dana Sullivan wrote and illustrated Ozzie and the Art Contest, Kay Kay’s Alphabet Safari, and My Red Velvet Cape.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Gov. Doug Burgum’s office has finalized a new ethics policy months after the governor reimbursed an electric utility nearly $40,000 for Super Bowl tickets in Minneapolis.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the new policy applies to the governor, lieutenant governor and all employees of the governor’s office. It addresses conflicts of interest, gifts, expenses and political activities.
The move comes after Burgum faced criticism for accepting Super Bowl tickets provided by Xcel Energy. Burgum repaid the utility in February to eliminate the perception of conflict of interest.
The governor’s spokesman Mike Nowatzki says the office had no ethics policy when Burgum was elected.
The new policy addresses gifts similar to Burgum’s Super Bowl invitation. No employees can accept a gift with a value exceeding $50 from any person, business or entity.

In world and national news…
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department has opened an investigation of child sexual abuse inside the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania.
That’s according to two people familiar with the probe, who say federal prosecutors have served subpoenas on dioceses across the state that seek a trove of sensitive files and testimony from church leaders.
The two people are not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The subpoenas follow a state grand jury report in August that detailed hundreds of allegations of children being sexually abused by priests in dioceses across Pennsylvania. Because of Pennsylvania’s time limits on prosecuting old cases, only two priests were charged as a result of the grand jury investigation.
Pompeo: US takes Khashoggi disappearance ‘very seriously’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he told Saudi Arabia’s rulers that the U.S. takes “very seriously” the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and will await the outcome of investigations by the kingdom and Turkey before deciding how the U.S. will respond.
Pompeo addressed reporters Thursday after briefing President Donald Trump at the White House on his talks with leaders in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Pompeo says the Saudis assured him they will conduct a “complete, thorough” investigation into Khashoggi’s disappearance.
Khashoggi is feared dead after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul more than two weeks ago.
Turkish authorities say he was killed. The Saudis have denied involvement.
In his comments to reporters, Pompeo said he also stressed the “longstanding strategic relationship” between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
ISTANBUL (AP) — Leading human rights and journalists’ organizations are urging U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to launch a U.N. investigation into the disappearance and “possible extrajudicial execution” of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders said at a news conference at the United Nations headquarters on Thursday that Turkey should press the U.N. to initiate a transparent investigation.
They say the investigation should probe Saudi Arabia’s role in Khashoggi’s disappearance and aim to identify everyone responsible for ordering, planning and executing any operations related to Khashoggi’s disappearance on Oct. 2.
Robert Mahoney, deputy executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, said: “U.N. involvement is the best guarantee against a Saudi whitewash or attempts by other governments to sweep the issue under the carpet to preserve lucrative business ties with Riyadh.”
