All three kids need to wear a brace for scoliosis. Kacy’s son, Brody Steinmetz, only recently discovered his scoliosis - somewhat by accident.

“Last summer I was working at the airport, and I bent over to pick up a box of chemicals, and my shirt kind of flipped up,” said Steinmetz, “and the guy I was working with saw my back and said, ‘there’s something messed up with your back. I think you have scoliosis.’ I ended up going up to Canada, and he sent me to get x-rays. I have two braces, one that I wear at night and one that I wear during the day, 16 hours total.”

Borgen spotted it in her daughter, Taylor, at a young age because she was watching for it.

“I found it when she was ten months old,” said Borgen. “I saw her sitting up, and it looked a little funny on her back so I had it Pictured are Taylor Borgen, Brody Steinmetz, and x-rayed.

October is Women’s Small Business Month

By Linda Timian Republican Writer

This is the second in a series of articles covering National Women’s Small Business Month, highlighting the benefits and industry women bring to communities when they own a small business.

Tara Domres, Cutting Edges Tara Domres always wanted to be a hair stylist. She was accepted into Joseph’s School of Hair Design in Grand Forks in her junior year of high school. She got her first job at Kathy’s Towne Shoppe.

“When I graduated, I worked for Kathy White,” said Domres.

“After I got enough hours to be on my own, I decided to buy my own shop.” She purchased her shop from Pam Lafrenz and just celebrated her 10th year in business this past July.

Domres does haircuts, colors, perms, facial waxing, and pedicures. Her favorite is coloring and changing hair - seeing the difference she makes in people’s hair, even though some colors are challenging. She works with her customers to learn what their personal preferences are so she can do what they want to do, what they envision.

Like all businesses, Domres is faced with scarcity in the supply chain. “It’s very hard getting supplies right now,” said Domres,

“even things like the hair color and the stuff that I need to color hair.”

Cutting Edges is located at 708 3rd Street in Langdon. Business hours are Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Thursday evenings by appointment only. You can contact Domres at 701-256-2100 or on her Cutting Edges Facebook page. Give her a call, and she will find you an appointment that works for you.

“I really appreciate my regular and returning clients and the support they’ve given my business these past 10 years,” said Domres. “I’m also taking new

clients. I always like seeing new faces.”

Janelle Bata, Sewing Alterations Janelle Bata has been in the sewing alterations business for about 25 years. She does hemming, alterations, and repairs on new or already owned clothing.

She hems pants and jeans and will hem and alter dresses, prom dresses, bridesmaid’s dresses, and wedding gowns.

“I strive to give customers a

perfect fit for clothing,” said Bata.

“I especially work with a lot of bridal wear.” She has taken old wedding dresses and made baptismal gowns or pillows out of them.

“Sometimes I get an odd request, but I try to meet everybody’s needs,” she continues.

“You never know what people might ask for.” So far, she has been able to get the supplies she needs for those requests as well as for making repairs, pillows, and garters.

“The challenge for me is to always have the right supplies on hand,” she said. “I carry a lot of different things. I have a huge supply of zippers. Living this far from anywhere, I try to keep things on hand.”

Bata started sewing when she was a young girl. Once she was working, she started by hemming pants, and it grew from there.

“I used to work for Jeff Fisk at the Haberdashery on Main Street,” said Bata. “Guys would come in with pants that weren’t quite right, so I started hemming them.” After she had children, she stayed home with her kids and eventually started sewing from home.

“It’s a benefit being able to work out of my home. It’s really helped myself and my family.”

When her family moved to the country outside of Langdon,

Steinmetz sets example for younger kids

each other and connect and see that they all have something in common.”

The three kids have something else in common too: they are just like all other kids.

“I like to hunt and fish and play sports,” said Steinmetz. “I can’t play football. The doctor said that would hurt my back, but I can play hockey. You can get hurt from the way you get hit in football because they lower their shoulder when they tackle. With hockey it’s kind of a shoulder to shoulder hit, and you have the boards.” He said the brace doesn’t interfere with too much at school.

“I don’t wear it when I have PE or when I eat,” said Steinmetz.

“When I have to sit in a chair for a long time it can bother me. If you’re standing for a while, it’s nice to sit, and if you’re sitting for a while, it’s nice to stand.”

He said some teachers understand and let him stand when he needs to, but some don’t.

Taylor’s favorite class is art.

Clyde likes ceiling fans, taking anything apart, and lights.

“My husband made him a ceiling fan frame,” said Anderson. “It’s wired so you can plug it in, and Clyde will actually do the wiring. He’ll plug it in and turn it on, and the ceiling fans will be functioning. He spends a lot of time in the garage.”

All three moms agreed that Langdon has been an awesome community for their kids.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

The grasshopper grind A lot of people, especially those who live on farms and ranches, will remember how bad grasshoppers were in the 1980s, particularly in the second half of the decade when drought conditions persisted. Grasshoppers were all over the place, and rather than using mass quantities of pesticides to kill the hoppers and everything else in their paths, a Bismarck Junior College biology professor came up with a unique method of knocking out the infestation.

Mike Stoy looked for and found diseased grasshoppers. He took them back to his garage in Bismarck, and gruesome as this sounds, ground them up into a powder and sprayed the powder on healthy grasshoppers.

The result of his applications were just as interesting as the pathogen he created in the first place. Stoy sought out grasshoppers that were infected with a fungus called entomophaga grylli. After he applied the diseased pathogen to healthy grasshoppers, they climbed to the top of wheat plants and died there. As a result of that, it got the name of Summit disease.

The Bismarck professor was on the cutting edge of this interesting science because land-grant universities didn’t take a serious look at this until the early 1990s. As a matter of fact, entomophaga grylli is still being studied as a logical biological control of grasshoppers.

Entomophaga grylli doesn’t affect other species of insects or animals, only three subspecies of grasshoppers. So if a mangy coyote came along and ate the dead and diseased grasshoppers, the coyote wouldn’t die from it like it might had the hoppers been poisoned with arsenic or something like it.

When Stoy was conducting his research, this control method seemed to have a lot of promise. It still does, except that science has learned that the best way to eliminate grasshoppers using this method is during warm and damp conditions – a similar environment in which mold grows. In addition, the ground up and pulverized grasshoppers don’t have a very long shelf life, so if you’re going to spend a weekend

making this product in your garage, you better use it on Monday because the potency drops off dramatically the longer it sits around. However, Cornell, North Dakota State University, Texas A&M, UC-Davis and others are working on circumventing those pitfalls so they can make the war on grasshoppers more environmentally friendly. Apparently, entomophaga grylli has been used on Australian grasshoppers as well but doesn’t affect them as it does the three American grasshoppers thus has been deemed not effective by the Australian government.

Can you imagine going out and first, identifying grasshoppers with this fungus then killing them and taking them back to your laboratory where they need to dry out before you crush and grind them into powder so it can be sent through a nozzle and sprayed onto the healthy grasshoppers? That, in and of itself, could be a major time consumer not to mention the space it would take up as Dr. Stoy pointed out in losing his garage to his experiment.

You would also have to package and transport the product to the infested field where it would be applied. Chemical insecticides just seem a whole lot easier and more convenient, but the goal, even back in 1985, was for American farmers to use fewer pesticides and balance those out with intriguing biological control.

How many times did Edison fail before he got his light bulb right?

How many times are the nation’s smartest entomologists going to fail until they get this vector control mastered. It could take years, but it’s a promising alternative to chemicals, something that a lot of ranchers especially would like to see because the entomophaga grylli would pose little or no harm to their cattle, while chemicals might.

In the 1930s when swarms of grasshoppers actually darkened the sky, farmers across North Dakota were using arsenic-laced grain to get rid of the hoppers. That’s all they knew at the time, besides the grasshoppers were beginning to devour fence posts. They had to do something quick.

Thirty-six years is a lot of time to research something, but maybe we should give this a little more time – anything to get rid of those miserable pests.

Supreme Court’s authority engulfed by storms and polarization The Supreme Court’s authority, grounded since the dawn of the republic in its prestige and reputation, now faces the storms that have overwhelmed Congress and the Presidency and diminished the institutional popularity of our political branches. A recent Gallup poll revealed that just 40% of the American people approve of the performance of the nation’s highest tribunal. The political polarization that has torn apart our grand republic represents a grave threat to the perception of the court as an apolitical body rendering detached, authoritative decisions that preserve and protect the rule of law and fulfill expectations of it as a mouthpiece for the Constitution.

Several Justices, just prior to the opening of the court’s new term, have addressed public concerns.

Justice Amy Comey Barrett, the newest member of the court, told a Kentucky audience last month that her job was to persuade the audience the Justices are not a bunch of “partisan hacks.” Justices Stephen Breyer and Clarence Thomas, the greybeards of the court, declared that the differences among the Justices are attributable to different judicial philosophies, not politics.

Justice Samuel Alito, one of six republican appointees serving on the High Bench, stated — defensively — that some critics portray the court as having been captured by a cabal that resorts to “sneaky methods” of considering cases before it, a characterization, he noted, that represents an “unprecedented” effort to “intimidate” and damage the court. These public statements in recent weeks dovetail the longstanding effort of Chief Justice John Roberts to protect the court against charges that its members promote

Tax relief, ARPA investments will benefit ND citizens now North Dakota is always competing.

We compete with other states, and even other countries, for businesses, jobs and the workers needed to fill them.

We compete for workers who choose which state to live in based on our economic strength and opportunity, our infrastructure and communities, and our quality of life.

So, when the opportunity arises to make sound investments in our state and provide meaningful tax relief to our citizens using unanticipated resources – at a time when our financial condition is strong and our reserves are full – we would be wise to seize the opportunity.

This is the decision facing the North Dakota Legislature.

their own political preferences.

Clearly, the Justices are embarked on a mission to protect the court’s institutional integrity and its mission as an impersonal vessel through which the court speaks.

This mission is not new, of course, for the Justices, across two-and-onehalf centuries, have viewed themselves as the primary defenders of the court’s reputation. To many scholars, the duty of preserving the court’s reputation, and thus its prestige, explains why, until recent decades, and with few exceptions, the Justices have moved cautiously, taking incremental steps in its interpretation of the Constitution, rather than resorting to leaps and bounds in reshaping and overturning precedents. Historically, the court has been reluctant to lead the nation.

Exceptions to this rule of behavior can be found, of course, as in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, in which the court overturned a 60-year-old precedent and held that segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. And in Engel v.

Vitale (1962), when the court held that school-led prayer in public schools violates the Establishment Clause separation of church and state. And, perhaps more famously, in Roe v. Wade (1973), in which the court upheld a woman’s right to abortion.

The courts’ wariness in taking bold steps reflects unhappy historical moments. For example, its ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), that the Constitution did not include American citizenship for African-Americans, backfired, and the court’s reputation was badly damaged, rendering it vulnerable to political attacks by Congress, for roughly 25 years.

For the court to lead the nation, and convince the citizenry that it is interpreting the Constitution in a manner free of political motives, it must be able to muster persuasive reasoning to defend its holdings and then rely on millions of supporters, and thousands of low-level governmental officials to embrace and enforce its rulings. The court, as Alexander Hamilton emphasized in Federalist No. 78, lacks the power to enforce

state allocation of federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). We also put forward a proposal for $407 million in excess ending fund balance from the 201921 biennium thanks to our strategic use of federal funding last year and better-than-expected revenue collections and Legacy Fund earnings.

Of these recommendations, the easiest one for our Legislature’s conservative supermajority to adopt should be to provide a two-year credit on individual income tax for North Dakota residents, up to a maximum of $500 per filed return, per year.

This proposal will save taxpayers an estimated $207 million over two years. Approximately 218,000 North Dakotans who pay $500 or less in income tax annually would have no income tax bill in 2021 and 2022.

Roughly 133,000 residents who pay more than $500 in income tax annually would have their bill reduced by $500 each year.

It’s only right to reward the citizens who pay taxes and kept our economy functioning during the pandemic.

Instead of leaving $207 million sitting at the bank earning .07% interest and allowing the corrosive power of inflation to diminish its worth over the next two years, we believe this money will do more good in the pockets of North Dakotans.

The Accelerate ND plan will support growth, diversify our economy, make our state more competitive, enhance government services and create long-term cost savings for the citizens of North Dakota – all without raising taxes or growing government.

Our reserve funds are flush. At $749 million, the rainy-day Budget Stabilization Fund is filled to its maximum limit set by the Legislature. More than $597 million in cash

its decisions. As a consequence, disregard of the court’s rulings undercuts its reputation and thus its power.

A felt need among the Justices to protect and nurture its authority, contributes to a narrative of caution, rather than bold moves. This sense of restraint — judicial self-restraint — encourages the court to uphold precedent for the purpose of ensuring stability and continuity in the law. Frequent rulings that overturn precedents, especially those that protect the rights of the citizenry, have a jarring impact on the confidence of the public in the status of their constitutional liberties.

It is for these reasons that the court’s new term, filled with blockbuster cases, will be closely watched. Judicial observers will scrutinize the court’s rulings in forthcoming cases that, among others, may eliminate a woman’s right to an abortion, expand gun rights beyond precedents, and perhaps chip away at the wall separating church and state.

The current, low public approval rating of the court threatens the court’s role as chief interpreter of the Constitution and raises the concern that controversial rulings may not be perceived as legitimate by the American people which, again, would threaten the court’s stature and thus its power. In these circumstances, the court could hardly lay claim to any moral authority, despite efforts to characterize it as “the conscience of the nation.” Guardians of the court’s institutional integrity, the Justices themselves bear the primary responsibility, through their written opinions, of reassuring the citizenry that they are above the political fray.

sits unobligated in our Strategic Investment and Improvements Fund.

These funds totaling over $1.3 billion can cover any needs or shortfalls that arise before next session.

Rather than allowing inflation to eat away at the state’s ARPA funds, we should harness their investment power now and bid projects for next season.

The Legislature last spring already approved $423 million in authorized but unfunded appropriations for transportation infrastructure ($317M) and capital projects ($106M). We’re recommending they fund these projects in a single action now with the state’s ARPA funds.

Of the remaining $697 million in ARPA funds, we recommend investing nearly half, or $326 million, into workforce and economic development to address our state’s biggest obstacle to economic growth – the workforce shortage. Our recommendation also includes an additional $237 million for infrastructure and $134 million for emergency response, health care and improving the efficiency of citizen services.

Instead of leaving these funds in a low-earning checking account, Accelerate ND targets the ARPA funds and excess fund balance at areas with a high return on investment, including numerous projects requiring a 1-to-1 funding match from the private sector.

We should not squander this opportunity. North Dakotans deserve tax relief when government collects more money than it needs. Now is the time to invest in our workforce, our infrastructure, our economy and our quality of life.

Let’s accelerate past our competition and put North Dakota in the best possible position for future growth, economic diversity, and success.

Trick-or-treating typically brings an abundance of candy for those who participate. It’s perfectly okay to indulge in some candy once in a while, and most of us have our favorites that we look forward to when the stores fill with fun-size treats. We don’t have to indulge in candy to enjoy the season; there are other ways that have healthier results for our bodies like fruit and vegetable trays and non-food trickor-treat items.

Dakota Gardener: Fall is a great time to test your garden soil

By Esther E. McGinnis, Horticulturist NDSU Extension

“Don’t call it dirt! Dirt is what you track into the house. Soil is the proper name of the material that anchors and holds water and nutrients for plants,” insisted my soils professor when I was in graduate school.

Soil has finally earned our respect and a proper name. We’ve come a long way since the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and realize how soil is precious and incredibly complex. However, we still have a lot to learn. Pinterest gardeners routinely think it is trendy to “improve” their soil by adding lots of organic matter, fertilizers, or dubious additives such as Epsom salts.

Does your garden soil really need all those additions? This is similar to a cook adding salt to the soup without tasting it. You need a baseline before making adjustments. Soil testing is the baseline you need before adding fertilizer, manure or other components.

Soil tests are best known for diagnosing nutrient deficiencies. If potassium levels are low, the soils testing lab will recommend potential potassium sources to alleviate the deficiency.

Lesser known is the importance of identifying high nutrient levels. Just like with the salt level in soup, you can add excessive levels of nutrients and amendments if you are not careful.

A lawn and garden soil test will provide information on organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, soil pH and soluble salt levels along with custom recommendations.

This information can save you money and labor. For example, if your soil has plenty of organic matter you can skip the laborious process of tilling compost into the soil.

Nationwide, soil testing labs are seeing more gardens that have excessive levels of phosphorus which can tie up important micronutrients such as iron. In the event of excessive phosphorus levels, a soil testing lab will recommend avoiding amendments high in phosphorus such as manure, 10-10-10 fertilizer and compost.

Soil testing can be done at any time of year but is best done before the soil freezes. A fall test allows gardeners to plan their fertilizer strategy before spring planting.

To get a representative soil sample, take soil from five or six locations in the garden. Using a shovel or hand trowel, extract a sample that is approximately 6 inches deep. Remove any leaves or organic matter from the

If you have questions on the process of collecting a soil sample, please contact your friendly county NDSU Extension agent.

Before submitting the sample, make sure to provide background information such as whether the soil sample was taken from a vegetable garden, a flower garden, a lawn or other area. A vegetable garden will receive very different recommendations compared to a perennial flower garden.

NDSU Extension Notes

that NDSU Extension - Nutrition has put together. Fruit, like melon cut with cookie cutters into leaf, bat, and monster footprint shapes, can all be put together in fun arrangements to add fun and beauty to our tables. A vegetable tray with cauliflower, carrots, and yellow peppers formed into the shape of a candy corn might be something to try. A yellow pepper cut into pieces and put together like a spider can add a little spooky fun to snack time or an evening meal. Green grapes, blueberries, and some candy eyes put together to look like Frankenstein can make breakfast a fun adventure. The possibilities are endless, and the nutritional value is amazing with these eye-pleasing trays.

You can see these trays by visiting the NDSU Extension Nutrition Facebook page (@NDSUExtFood).

A person could even use their imagination and design their own amazing tray or dish to share with others.

If you feel as though you would like to add something like hummus or yogurt dip to help boost nutritional value even more, think about making a recipe found on the NDSU Extension website (https://www. ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/ recipes/spinach-and-kale-greekyogurt-dip).

We can also have fun with nonfood items during this time of year. Spider rings, pencils, little notebooks, bubbles, bouncy balls, glow-sticks, sidewalk chalk, and mini-games are all items that can be purchased for little money and added to your trick-or-treating stash.

This will be appreciated by parents and kids, especially families with food allergies or special dietary needs. You can even consider being part of The Teal Pumpkin Project.

The project entails putting a tealcolored pumpkin out somewhere at your home to indicate to food allergy families that you have non-food items to share for trick-or-treating.

Just keep the non-food items separate from the food items that you may be giving away to avoid crosscontamination. You can even register your house on the Teal Pumpkin

Project Map so families can research which houses are safe before they go trick-or-treating. If you would like to know more about food allergies and the Teal Pumpkin Project, you can find more information on the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) website (https:// www.foodallergy.org/).

Whether you partake in Halloween activities or not, be sure to be aware of the kids and families that do. Please take extra time when driving during trick-or-treating time. According to safekids.org, it’s more than twice as likely for children to get hit by a car and killed on Halloween than any other day of the year. Driving slower and being extra cautious around parked cars and intersections will help make the night safer for all.

Feel free to contact the NDSU Extension office here in Cavalier County if you have any questions or would like further information about food allergies, The Teal Pumpkin Project, nutritious and fun food trays, or recipes. You can stop in the courthouse, call 256-2560, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu.

Here is an NDSU Extension recipe to enjoy with a fun vegetable tray you will put together: Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip Ingredients • 16 oz. fat -free plain Greek yogurt • 3 Tbsp. light mayonnaise • 3 cloves garlic, minced • ½ tsp. onion powder • ½ tsp. garlic powder • ½ tsp. dill • 1 c. kale, finely chopped • 1 c. spinach, finely chopped • 1/3 c. bell pepper, minced • 1/3 c. carrot, minced • Salt and pepper to taste Directions Add yogurt, mayonnaise and seasonings to a bowl and mix.

William “Bill” Gellner A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for William “Bill” Gerald Gellner, 88, of Fargo, who died Sunday, October 10, 2021, at Sanford Health in Fargo.

A Mass of Christian Burial will also be held Monday, October 18, 2021, at Sts. Anne and Joachim Catholic Church in Fargo. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon.

Bill was born on May 21, 1933, in Langdon, to Phillip and Antholena Gellner. He attended country school until 9th grade and graduated high school in 1950 from St. Alphonsus High School, Langdon. In fall of 1950, he attended Bradley Univer-

Obituaries sity in Peoria, Ill., studying Horology. In September of 1953 he moved to Fargo and worked at Neubarth Jewelry in Moorhead. He served in the Army in the Panama Canal zone during the Korean Conflict.

In addition to his Horology and watchmaking work, he became a life insurance agent and worked in estate planning until his retirement in 2015. He and Roberta Thorson were united in marriage in 1958; together they had a son, Jeffrey.

He enjoyed spending time with his son, Jeff, hunting, fishing, traveling throughout the country, and spending time at their lake home on Lake Eunice for 32 years. He was an avid waterfowl hunter for over 70 years, shooting his first Canadian goose at the young age of 9, shooting over 500 geese and some 300 Mallard ducks, holding high marks in trap shooting. He also enjoyed curling,

golfing, bowling, and lawn dart (jarts), where a nice collection of trophies was gathered. He was an avid fan of the Minnesota Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Lynx and the Gophers.

Bill is survived by his son, Jeffrey, of Moorhead, Minn.; and two sisters: Elizabeth Landsem of Seattle, Wash., and Beverly (Chauncey) Rae Myers of Hillmen, Minn.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Phillip and Anthelena, and siblings: Lorraine, Cecelia, Mary, Raymond and Michael.

Eva Westby

A private memorial service was held at the Brooks Funeral Home in Langdon for Eva Westby, 95, of Langdon, and formerly of Fairdale, who passed away peacefully Sunday, October 10, 2021, at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon. Burial was at Silvesta Cemetery near Fairdale.

Eva Emma Westby was born December 2, 1925, to Louis and Mary (Mess) Krom. She was the last survivor of 11 children. Eva was raised in the Nekoma area where she received her education. On November 11, 1952, she was united in marriage to Raymond Westby. Following their marriage, they farmed near Fairdale, where six children were born. Ray passed away on July 15, 2006. She was a member of Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church of Fairdale and later the United Lutheran Church of Langdon. She had many interests including: playing

games and cards, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, gardening, and baking. She was a gentle, soft-spoken woman who never complained.

Eva was a very devoted wife and mother.

Survivors include her children: Mary (Marshall) Engblom of Champlin, Minn., Bruce Westby, Dennis (April) Westby all of Langdon, Shirley Gustafson (John Tibert) of Minto, Roger Westby of Milton, and Lori (Roy) Poole of New Market, AL. Preceding her in death were her parents, Louis and Mary Krom; husband Raymond; two sisters: Anna and Mary; and eight brothers: Peter, Joe, Rudolph, Charlie, Tom, Louis Jr., Victor, and Donny.

The family of Eva wants to thank all the staff at Maple Manor Care Center for all the great care and love given to their mom.

Funeral services were held Monday, Oct. 11, 2021 at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Olga for Dwayne Arthur Gratton, 88, of Olga, who passed away Wednesday, October 6, 2021, at the Pembilier Nursing Center in Walhalla.

Dwayne was born the first of seven children to Harvey and Eugenia (Brusseau) Gratton on May 14, 1933, in North Olga Township.

He spent his first five years in North Olga beginning his school days with his aunt, Adeline Gratton, as his first teacher. He then moved with his family to the farm west of Olga and attended school in Olga. He attended the Agricultural School in Park River but did not like being off the farm. He married Annette E. Roberge on June 18, 1953, and they made their home in Olga.

Their first two children, Phylis and Roger, were born while in Olga.

They moved to Washington in 1956 where he found work at Boeing.

Evelyn was born while they were there. He then moved his family to California where he worked for a tile company for two years and returned to Olga where three more children were born: Delbert, Sylvia, and Anita. He enjoyed working as a heavy equipment operator working for Mike Austfjord, Joe Mayo, and a few other contractors throughout his lifetime. He took pride in his work and mastered it. Following his retirement, he continued his love for the great outdoors by driving around throughout the region as he knew every backroad, nook and cranny in the land. He was an avid hunter known for his “dead-eye shooting skills.” In his old age, he became known for shooting thou-

sands of gophers to pass his time.

Following an illness and severe arthritis in his knees, he entered Pembilier Nursing Center in Walhalla in April of 2021. It became his new, temporary home where God called him home unexpectant in his sleep.

Dwayne is survived by his six children: Phylis Gratton of Mountain, Roger Gratton of Drayton, Evelyn (Willie) McKay of Mountain, Delbert (Candy) Gratton of Grand Forks, Sylvia (Tim) Moore of Mountain, and Anita (Daniel) Fernandez of Dove Creek, Colo.; 16 grandchildren: Sarah Thomasson of Bismarck, Michael Thomasson of Cavalier, Jennifer Gratton of Backoo, James Gratton of Williston, Joshua (Jenna) Gratton of Grand Forks, Chris (Julie) Byron of Edinburg, Andrew (Gwennie) Byron of Grand Forks, Matthew (Veronica) Byron of Park River, Dawn (Lane) Christianson of Langdon, Tyler (Laura) Byron of Alexandria, Minn., Kayley Byron of Grand Forks, Dan (Hailey) Moore of Walhalla, Jon Moore of rural Mountain, Angela (Justin) LeTexier of rural Cavalier, Tom (Rachelle) Moore of Gardar, Tim D. (Tonia) Moore of Walhalla; 25 great-grandchildren; several step-grandchildren and step-greatgrandchildren; siblings: Estelle Carrier of Milton, Jane (Finley) McLean of Devils Lake and Kelly Gratton of Walhalla; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Dwayne is preceded in death by his wife, Annette; parents Harvey and “Genie” Gratton; great-grandson Jakob Byron; infant brother Thomas Gratton; sisters Delora (Wylie) King and Marilyn (Jim) Wakeford; brothers-in-law Ernest Carrier and Wylie King; and sisterin-law Lou Gratton.

Susan Was Special….

In mid-August, Susan Ormiston Jaramillo came from her home in Denver to once again play at the Nekoma Presbyterian Church which was closing that weekend. Friends and family had not known how ill she was at the time, but returning to Denver, she entered the hospital and then hospice. As the news of her death a short time later circulated, person after person told me “Susan was special”, and she had seemed that way to me as well. In her memory I set out to think about her life growing up in North Dakota that had left such a lasting impression. Families, of course, tend to see their relatives as special, but even people who knew Susan only briefly still called her special.

So, I thought about her years of going to school in North Dakota and looked for her LHS class yearbook which was one of several that does not happen to be in the collection at the library. I knew she had been a cheerleader and very musical so must have been in the choir or band or both. Honor students are often mentioned in the clipping file located in the same room as the yearbook collection, and I did already know that Susan had been an honor student in one of the largest classes to ever graduate from Langdon High School.

The clipping file opened the door to a much larger story since it had a story and picture of Susan Ormiston and Dwight Towler, who had been chosen as the Outstanding Boy and Girl from the class of 1978. In the picture both were holding their own trophies, and the story included a listing of previous graduates who had that same honor. That story seemed very familiar since Susan was the daughter of Alan and Jo Ormiston and Dwight was the son of Rev. and Mrs. Towler who had served our church for several years. The other names on the outstanding list were also familiar

- people we all might have known years ago.

With that information, you now know two of the many names that have received the outstanding honor trophies, so the obvious step would be to locate the listing which began in 1952 and continues to the present time. Knowing some of the early names led to earlier stories with the history of some of the earliest recipients and the original trophy. However, the focus this week was Susan so will begin with parts of her story.

Susan was ready to start school in the 1960s when the Fairdale district closed. Her parents had to consider the surrounding (pre-missile era) towns and found a kindergarten class at Edmore. Langdon students did not yet have access to kindergarten, so Susan began at Edmore and transferred later to Langdon where I am told she wanted to learn as much as she could, even taking extra classes over noon hour. Those were the days before students could add to their credits by online classes.

Music was a family priority as her mother played for church year after year and gave music lessons. However, Susan as a performer is actually how I met her. She came home to visit often and would show up at church to play for services or to accompany special music. When the pastors at our church began serving the church at Nekoma, they would tell us about Susan and her additions to the services. She came one Christmas with special music, and I was delighted to sit and listen. Following high school Susan went to UND for her nursing career and later went to work in large Denver hospitals in emergency, ICU, and other capacities. Along with her husband, Tom, they made Denver their home and have grown children and recently a new granddaughter joined the family. When her mother’s illness needed full-time care, the family here looked forward to Susan flying home for long weekends to help with her care. Susan was still employed full-time until her entry into the hospital in August and is missed by family, friends and most who knew her and considered her special.

Dwight went on to Concordia the year they graduated, and because I did know his parents who retired to Minnesota, I believe he also had a

Langdon Long Ago

medical profession but do not know the details.

Reading through the available list of names at the time Susan and Dwight received their outstanding awards was inspiring because the people named were familiar from long ago or younger people now just starting their careers who show great promise for the future. While searching for the complete list, this week I will just list the first person who received the award and some of the information from the clipping file about his life and the award.

As it happened John Brooks, a member of the LHS class of 1953, was killed in a hunting accident in the spring of 1952. His parents wanted to set up a memorial in his name, and it is my understanding the school administration at that time hoped this could be a permanent award to a special student. In the beginning it was to go to one boy from the graduating class who was an all-around student and had been enrolled for all four years of high school. The outstanding portion must be in character, personality, leadership, scholarship, and citizenship. In other words, the one chosen might not be the best in a specific sport or have the highest grade point average – he had to have a variety of skills. Some who would later be chosen specialized in music, sports, or were just plain nice people who seemed to be able to work with anyone.

Another clipping tells that the first trophy was purchased by the Letterman’s Club and would have room for 13 names. The Class of 1952 raised money to purchase a trophy case that would hold this trophy and remain at the school, which at that time was in a different building than exists today.

There may have been subsequent later trophies because the recipients do receive one they can take home, and the first trophy had limited space for names.

The first recipient was chosen and received his award in the fall of 1952 although he had graduated with the class of 1952. That student was Dale Ramage, son of Gordon and Rhetta Ramage. Dale had an illness which had sent him to the hospital often during his young life, and in the words of his obituary in 1957 - “thwarted his plans at various times in his life”. In

Governor Doug Burgum has proclaimed October 2021 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Month and October 15, 2021, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Each year, approximately 1 million pregnancies in the United States end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In 2020, there were 53 infant deaths in North Dakota. SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants between the age of one month and one year in the nation and in North Dakota.

“During the month of October, people are encouraged to learn more about pregnancy and infant loss and how to support bereaved families,” said Elizabeth Oestreich, Injury Prevention Program Director at the North Dakota Department of

Another Scam….

For the last two or three months I have been receiving scam calls which might be targeting older people. The speakers appear to be foreign sounding voices, and the first call informed me that I had a received a certified check and not cashed it. When I asked who was calling, they gave a bank name. To date there have been about twenty different banks named if I do not hang up immediately. Many of the calls are related to sweepstakes they wish to tell me I have won. No, I am not a sweepstake fan. Yes, I did report them early on to both the police and the bank. Those offices did tell me this is a common scam. Unless you have caller ID and are willing to stay on the line long enough to find a pen and write down the number, there would be nothing they could do to trace the call. They advised to hang up immediately. The reason I am writing about this is that the callers often redial and let the phone ring many times. Some scammers leave messages on answering machines as well. It is better to check on the caller than to return these calls.

Out-of-town trips must be scheduled between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. With the onset of winter and shorter daylight hours we will be strict about this as we don’t want our drivers on the road before daylight or after dark. You must call transit at least 3 business days in advance of your appointment. The vehicle fills up quickly so call as far in advance as possible to ensure you get a ride. Shopping is now allowed on out-of-town trips but please let us know your plans in advance.

Scout Zeis

1952 diseases were not mentioned by name but having known Dale from pre-school on, I do know that he had a disease that later would be named Juvenile Diabetes, and his death at an early age was due to complications encountered in the pre-insulin era.

He was actually the only child I knew in 12 years at Langdon that had this particular disease, and his friends learned about it from his never-giveup attitude. As a result, he became a popular young man whose friends packed the church for his funeral.

That the faculty chose him as the first for this award was a testimony to his faith and lifestyle. When not hospitalized in later years, he worked at the National Tea Food store. Some of his friends and pall bearers are still in our community, now in their 80s and enjoying their grandchildren.

A former teacher had suggested that I look in the annuals for the missing names from the Outstanding Boy and Girl lists (girls were added in 1964), and year after year there would be no listings at all, either in the available annuals or the clipping file. Please feel free to call me if you remember the ones who received the award when you graduated because it is possible you might just happen

Cards start new winning streak at 1, with a 36-0 win over Northern Cass

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer After losing the week before to Hillsboro-Central Valley and having their 44-game winning streak end, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals hosted Northern Cass on Oct. 8 hoping to get a new run started. That they did by coming away with a 36-0 victory over the Jaguars.

With the win, the Cards are now 7-1 overall and 6-1 in Northeast Region games. The Cardinals will have their last regular season game of the year at home versus Carrington on Oct. 15 on what will be Senior Night. The win over Northern Cass also clinched the second seed of the region for the playoffs, which will begin on Oct. 23. Langdon-EdmoreMunich will host that first-round game with their opponent and time of game to be determined.

The Cardinals got started against the Jags with a drive that went down their opponents 10-yard line when they were stopped on a fourth down and 1 play when running back Carter Tetrault lost his helmet after appearing to get a first down.

The play was marked from where his helmet came off, and that turned the ball over on downs. After the Cards stopped NC on their ensuing possession, Langdon-Edmore-Munich scored on a long bomb pass, thrown perfectly by quarterback Rayce Worley and caught in stride

BOXSCORE

by Markus Kingzett for a 47-yard touchdown.

The next couple of plays were not something you see every day in high school sports. The Jaguars next drive stalled around their own 10-yard line forcing them to punt.

Cardinals sophomore Parker Rime, who was making his first varsity start at defensive tackle, caught through the line and blocked kick, which was nearly recovered by Zack Rostvet but went out of the end zone for a safety. On the safety kick that followed, Tetrault ran it back for a score from 65 yards out to give the Cards a 15-0 lead.

Still in the first quarter, Kingzett came up with an interception and 29-yard return to set up a one-yard Tetrault TD plunge, which was followed by an extra point kick by Alex Gellner. With time running out before halftime, Jack Romfo scored on a two-yard run followed by another Gellner kick to make it 29-0 at the half. The Cards would tack on one more TD on another great pass and catch from Worley to Tucker Welsh from 59 yards away followed by Gellner's fourth extra point of the contest.

For the game, Worley completed 9 of 12 passes for 198 yards. Romfo had 61 yards rushing on nine carries, while Welsh led the Cards with 72 yards receiving. Luke Wagner had 86 yards on the ground to lead NC.

Lady Cards win competitive Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament followed by Region 4 victory over Nelson County

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team hosted perhaps the best field ever for the 37th Annual Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament held on Oct. 9. Ten teams from across the state participated: Langdon-EdmoreMunich, North Border, Cavalier, North Star, Benson County, Thompson, Grafton, Oakes, Shiloh Christian, and May-Port-C-G. After pool play, four teams went on to tournament play - the Lady Cards, Bearcats, Tommies and Oakes Tornadoes, who narrowly beat out Cavalier to get to the final four.

North Star came back to beat Oakes 2-0 in the semifinals with LangdonEdmore-Munich sustaining several Thompson rallies to beat the Tommies 2-0. The championship match was intense with Langdon-EdmoreMunich winning over North Star 2-1. Game three came down to extra points with the Lady Cards winning 18-16.

The Cardinals also played a Region 4 match on Oct. 12 at McVille versus Nelson County and won 3-0 to push their overall record to 25-2-1. Langdon-Edmore-Munich played at Harvey-Wells County in Fessenden on Oct. 14 then will play at Park River on Oct. 18. They will be at home for their last four regular season matches, starting with New Rockford-Sheyenne on Oct. 19. Here is a recap of the Cards run in the LIT Tourney:

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2, Thompson 0 (Semifinals) The Lady Cards went through the pool play round of the Langdon Invitational Tournament losing a first set to Cavalier but winning in overall points then beating MayPort-C-G and Oakes 2-0. That put the Cardinals into tournament play and into the final four of the tourney where they played perennial tournament favorite Thompson in the semifinals.

The Cardinals got off to nice starts in each game against the Tommies but had to withstand several challenges all match long. Defense was the name of the game for the Lady Cards, as they had 68 digs out of 74 attempts. It was across the board as four girls got into double digits in the category with Marlee Hetletved and Morgan Freije each having 15, followed by McKenna Schneider with 11 and Jalynn Swanson 10.

Freije had nine kills followed by Schneider with four, while Swanson completed a double-double with 14 assists.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2, North Star 1 The championship match in the tournament was highly anticipated as the Cardinals and Bearcats were both ranked in the top 10 in the state and are both favorites in Region 4 volleyball.

The first set saw the Lady Cards come out as energized as they have been all season, winning handily and vocally 25-14. North Star would trail in the second set but came back to win 25-19 behind the powerful spiking of senior All-State middle

Playoff Time is here for high school football As we roll this week, we have reached the time of year in October that football playoffs begin for North Dakota high school football. Langdon-Edmore-Munich has clinched the second seed in the playoffs for Class B 11 Man Football. The Cards will host a first round game on Oct. 23, with their opponent and game time to be determined. They will need some help with upsets in other games to be able to host more than one contest. Whether at home or on the road, it's been another great season of Cardinals football, with just one loss on the year going into their last regular season game of the year against Carrington at home on Oct. 15 for Senior Night. The Cards four seniors, Tucker Welsh, Shaun Goeser, Jacob Pollestad and Zach Rostvet will be honored before the game, along with their parents. At the time of this writing, it looked like the Cardinals would host either Lisbon or Oakes in their first round playoff games, but it wouldn't be confirmed until the last week of the regular season.

As far as the other classes of football go, 9 Man Football will begin its on Oct. 16 with first round games.

North Prairie (Rolla-Rolette) and St.

John are the area teams playing that day. Cavalier and Nelson County each won their respective regions, so they both have first round byes and do not play until Oct. 23.

And finally in 6 Man Football, North Border has been king of the ring all season, rolling over every opponent they've played by 50 points or more. With just six teams in the playoffs for that division, the Eagles played a semifinal game hosting Drake-Anamoose on Oct. 15, then will play either a championship game or 3rd and 4th on Oct. 23 at Duane Carlson Field in Minot. We wish best of luck to all area teams in the postseason.

Lady Cards get build confidence building win with LIT title On Oct. 9, the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals volleyball team hosted the 37th Annual Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament, which was one of the most if the best tourney field they have ever had compete in it. There were three teams in the top 10 in the state playing for the title, along with seven other teams that were very good as well.

The Lady Cards ended up winning the title in a thrilling three set championship match over Region 4 rival North Star, in the first round of what should be two more meeting down the stretch and into the postseason. The win should be a huge momentum rush for the team for the rest of the season, as their seniors in

Morgan Freije, Marlee Hetletve and Morgan Thielbar all played great, and their younger players got some invaluable big game experience.

The Cardinals will have their last four matches at home, including another showdown with the Bearcats on Nov. 1. Hopefully you can get out and enjoy some of the action.

State Cross Country Meet coming to Jamestown Oct. 22-23 Area teams are also getting ready for the State A & B Cross Country Meet, to be held Oct. 22-23 at Jamestown Pipestem Reservoir. The format is a bit different this year, as it will be split between two days, with Class B on the 22nd, and Class A running the 23rd. Class B Girls will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Oct. 22, followed by the boys at 3:45 p.m. We wish the Langdon-Edmore-Munich teams and all area clubs the best of luck at the State Meet.

Langdon Country Club course to remain open for the time being Last week we told you that the Langdon Country Club was going to close for the season on Oct. 15.

But with nicer weather forecast for the last half of October, that date has been moved back. So you still have time to get a couple late seasons rounds in, as the pins and cups will remain in until further notice. A reminder that the clubhouse, kitchen and pro shop are locked up and closed for the season.

"See ya!" next week!

A Saint’s Shout Out

By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School

Full STEAM Ahead Fall has already been a wild ride in the halls of St. Alphonsus School.

It’s been full steam ahead! We have had school-wide field trips to the Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Grafton, the NDSU Research Center, the Pioneer Heritage Center at Icelandic State Park and the Pembina County Museum. These are great opportunities for our students to get outside of our walls and experience learning in different ways.

Another way we’re adding to our learning opportunities is by hosting a family STEAM night this past week. Liz from the Magic City Discovery Center brought a trailer load of STEAM goodies for our families to enjoy. She set up 10 different stations based on the letters of STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art, and math. This two-hour event was held open-house style so our preschool through grade 8 families could come and go. According to many of our students, two hours wasn’t long enough!

Our students and families created beautiful art projects and drawings, tangrams for math learning; they built functioning carts and

Monday, October 18, 2021 – Page 11

learned about engineering through building circuits that powered light, music, and fans. Our teachers volunteered to run the stations, and they came away with interesting observations. They saw students gravitating toward unexpected stations. The student who loves art spent the most time creating electric circuits. The student who loves science created a beaded bracelet inspired by binary code. This event helped open our students up to new ideas and experiences. As educators, it’s these lightbulb moments that inspire us. We love seeing our students try things they haven’t done before and create solutions to make things work.

A friend recently told me that it’s always good to have things to look forward to in life. It helps keep us moving forward. I so looked forward to this Family STEAM Night event! Now that it’s over, you’d think I might feel a little disappointed. Not at all. We’re already planning our next STEAM event – as soon as next semester. It’s just another thing to look forward to on our school calendar.

Carrie Hope is in her 3rd year as principal at St. Alphonsus School. She can be reached at carrie.hope@k12. nd.us or at 701-256-2354. St. Alphonsus School opened in 1921.

Beginner Activity Award (given to members 8 - 10 years old) was awarded to Kenleigh Nye. Beginner Outstanding Achievement Activity Award was awarded to Carl Henry and Ethan Muhs.

The Preteen 4-H Activity Award (given to members 11 & 12 years of age) was awarded to Sarah Muhs.

The Teen Activity Award (for members 13 years of age and older) was awarded to Kartheek Chapara.

Kartheek Chapara was recognized for attending the Extension Youth Conference, which was held on NDSU campus June 21-24. The North Dakota Extension Youth Conference’s (EYC) mission is to energize and empower North Dakota youth with the tools necessary to form partnerships among youth, volunteers, Extension staff and communities. The cost of EYC is $250 and is sponsored by Cavalier County Crop Improvement Association. During the week, youth who have completed 7th-12th grade attend activities that help them explore leadership skills, exchange ideas and form friendships with other youth, and have exposure to the North Dakota 4-H Ambassador program.

New members joining 4-H were recognized and current members received their year-end completion pins.

4-H leaders were thanked for volunteering their time and talents to our 4-H clubs. Volunteers make a significant impact. The 4-H Youth

Development program would not be possible without the volunteers.

Volunteers enrich the 4-H program and enable our youth to help make our communities stronger.

We appreciate the thoughtfulness and caring of our great county businesses.

The Awards Day program was followed by concessions and a movie.

Our noses detected smoke as we unloaded our vehicle and the air was hazy. My husband and I were helping our daughter move into an apartment on the upper floor of an old building.

I checked my phone for the source of the fire. I learned that the smoke was blowing in from the wildfires in Canada.

Then a fire truck sped by with its siren blaring to an unrelated fire.

Fire was on our mind as we walked around the apartment. Like any parents, we want our children to be safe.

“There are two sprinklers in the bedroom and two in the living room,” my husband said as he did his impromptu inspection. I am surprised he wasn’t carrying a clipboard with a checklist.

We looked down the hallway to locate the stairs in case of an emergency.

I helped our daughter organize her kitchen cupboards. I added a few cookbooks.

“I think I will be doing a lot of cooking,” she said as she unloaded some pots, pans and other equipment received from some friends of mine.

She was happy to have such nice equipment.

“You can invite us over for dinner soon,” I said.

“Let’s pick up a fire extinguisher for her,” my husband added.

Do you take precautions in your kitchen to avoid fires? According to a report compiled by Marty Ahrens and released in July 2020 by the National

turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

• If you have a fire extinguisher, learn how to use it properly ahead of time. Learning how to use it during an emergency could put you and your home at risk.

Here’s an opportunity to use your oven and your end-of-the-season cherry tomatoes. This easy and tasty recipe was submitted by registered dietitian Deb Haugen for publication in our upcoming “Growing Together” cookbook. Our taste testers found it to be very delicious.

Question 5. Which two holidays are linked with the most home fires?

The answers are: B. Kitchen ranges or cooktops are linked to the most kitchen fires.

False. Electric ranges are linked to more fires than gas ranges.

True. Leaving the kitchen to do other things is linked with more fires than any other activity.

A. Most people were asleep when a fire broke out. Stay awake and alert when cooking. Don’t leave food unattended, especially if it includes oil or is a higher-fat food. Grease feeds fires.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the peak days for home fires.

As you cook for yourself or teach family members safety tips, remember these key messages adapted from the NFPA: • Stay alert. If you are sleepy or take medications that cause drowsiness, that’s not the time to begin frying bacon.

• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, boiling, grilling or broiling.

Turn off the burner if you leave the kitchen. Regularly check foods that you are simmering, baking or roasting.

• Keep things that can catch fire away from heat sources. Keep the surfaces clear of food. Keep oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging and towels away from the burners.

• Do not use your oven as an extra storage place. You might not check the oven before you preheat it.

• Wear short-sleeve clothing or clothing with tight sleeves, because long, loose sleeves could catch fire.

• Keep children and pets away from the cooking area. If you are teaching a child to cook, carefully supervise them around stovetops, ovens and other appliances. Do not hold an infant or young child as you are stirring or carrying hot food or liquids.

• Keep a lid nearby. If a small grease fire starts, smother the flame with the lid and turn off the burner.

Do not move the pan. Do not pour water on the pan.

• If a fire breaks out in the oven,

Fire Protection Association (NFPA), cooking was the top cause of home fires and home injuries from 2014 to 2018.

In fact, the percentage of kitchen fires in apartments was more than double the percentage of houses.

If you are reading this column, you probably do some cooking. Try these kitchen fire safety questions based on the information in the NFPA report.

Question 1. What appliance is linked to most cooking fires, including 87% of fire-related deaths?

Slow cookers Ranges or cooktops Coffee pots Multifunction pressure cookers Question 2. True or false. Gas ranges are linked to more fires than electric ranges.

Question 3. True or false. Unattended cooking was the leading cause of cooking fires from 2014 to 2018.

Question 4. What were most people doing during fatal injuries caused by fires?

Sleeping Cleaning their home Working outdoors Watching TV

Jerry Nowatzki, President Jenny Anderson, Deputy Auditor O18 _______________________________

September 21, 2021 On September 21, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Steph Welsh, Public Health, met with the commissioners regarding recent legislation that designated the Public Health office as one of the locations for “Safe Baby Haven”. Welsh asked the commissioners to purchase window clings for the courthouse entrances with Safe Baby Haven instructions for after office hours.

David Zeis made a motion to purchase Safe Baby Haven window clings for all courthouse entrances, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Welsh also reported on the percentage of vaccinated population and positive COVID cases in the county. Greg Goodman wanted a reminder given to county employees/elected officials that they need to clarify input at public meetings/ forums as personal and not connected to their employment with Cavalier County. Goodman stated he would put an email together to send to county employees. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners and reviewed the status of current road projects. Daley asked the commissioners if they wanted to apply for Special Road Funding (SRF) through NDDOT for the road going to Mt. Carmel Dam, and what type of project they wanted to request. Moser stated that ideally a pavement project, but funding most

likely would only allow for a gravel lift and re-shaping. Commissioners were in agreement that a gravel project with improvements to the road for a future pavement project would be beneficial. Daley stated he would put together project options and submit an application by the November 30th due date. Daley also gave the commissioners and update on crushed concrete options he had looked into. Commissioners discussed options for verification of yards/loads of gravel requested on county roads. Daley suggested weight tickets from contractors.

It was decided that spot checking number of loads with additional seasonal help or by the roadmen would be a viable option. Johnston informed the commissioners that they could get a v-plow with attachment/hooks for the new snowplow truck from Little Falls Machine for $17,850.00, plus delivery. Nick Moser made a motion to purchase the vplow and attachment for $17,850.00 plus delivery, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. It was decided to pay for the v-plow from Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement.

Snowplow drivers for the upcoming season were discussed. All drivers stated they would be returning.

Lafrenz stated he would check with the last driver they had in the Langdon District to see if he would be able to fill in if needed. The Trojan loader in the Vang District was discussed. It was decided to bring it to Langdon and run an ad to sell it.

The Road & Bridge/Farm to Market budgets were reviewed with additional projects included to comply with the cash reserve allowance. A transfer to Capital Projects was included to save funds for the next pavement overlay project. Lesley Lubenow, NDSU District Director, and Katie Henry, NDSU Extension, met with the commissioners and discussed the vacancy they will have in the extension office.

Henry stated that she would help

manage programs and arrange for help from other extension agents until the position is filled. Lubenow asked the commissioners if they wanted to continue to fund a fulltime position. The timeline for the required vote by 2024 to be able to continue the same maximum number of mills for extension was also discussed. Lubenow suggested putting the levy on the ballot for the 2022 Primary Election. The commissioners did not want it on the ballot that soon and tabled it for now.

It was discussed that if the vote to continue with the same maximum mills for extension is not successful, the county would have to either reduce staff or partially fund NDSU Extension from County General.

Nick Moser made a motion to hire a new full-time extension agent, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve changes to section 302 HOLIDAYS and section 401 TIMEKEEPING in the Employee Policy Manual, effective October 1, 2021, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by David Zeis to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: NDTC, E-911______________ 128.03 OFFICE OF STATE AUDITOR, GEN___________________19,725.00 CAVALIER COUNTY MVD, R&B__ __________________________ 11.50 DAVID J.

October means – It’s Pasta Time!

October is here, which means “It’s Pasta Time!” October is National Pasta Month and the North Dakota Wheat Commission will continue its tradition of recognizing the state’s dedicated durum producers and the associated durum milling and pasta manufacturing industries. To help celebrate Pasta Month and educate consumers on the importance of durum and pasta production, the Commission will be partnering with statewide media to provide durum and pasta facts and trivia. Participating newspapers and radio stations will provide opportunities for readers and listeners to win a pasta prize package.

Pasta is a much loved food in the U.S. and around the world. Each year the average American consumes about 20 pounds of pasta and while consumer research indicates that spaghetti is the favorite pasta meal, there are endless pasta meal options with over 600 pasta shapes and countless types of sauces to choose from. The North Dakota Wheat Commission encourages you to enjoy your favorite pasta dish, or try out a new recipe to celebrate Pasta Month.

There would be no pasta without durum and North Dakota remains the top producer of this class of wheat, on average producing enough durum to make about two billion pounds of pasta. Montana, Arizona and Cali-

fornia also produce durum. North Dakota durum acres have declined in recent years due to both local and world dynamics, however, the producers growing durum remain as dedicated as ever to producing a quality product to make premium pasta products.

A good share of our production is processed in-state at one of these facilities: Minot Milling, a division of Philadelphia Macaroni located in Minot, N.D.; Dakota Growers Pasta Company located in Carrington, N.D.; and the North Dakota Mill in Grand Forks. North Dakota durum is also sent out of state to mills throughout the United States, and to customers around the world. Italy is the largest international buyer, but North Dakota durum also finds its way to countries in North Africa and smaller markets in Central America and Europe.

Celebrate pasta month by learning more about our state’s durum and pasta production and make one of your favorite pasta dishes. For great pasta cooking tips and recipes, visit www.sharethepasta.org and for more information on pasta month, visit www.ndwheat.com. The Wheat Commission would like to thank our dedicated Pasta Month sponsors: Dakota Growers Pasta and the U.S. Durum Growers.
