This is the final article covering National Women's Small Business Month, highlighting the benefits and industry brought to communities by women in business.

Gael and Mindy Balsdon, Quilt 4 U Gael Balsdon attended a long arm machine quilting show with a friend of hers a little over 15 years ago and remembers thinking she would never do that.

“Don’t ever say never,” warns Gael. She bought a small version and started doing long arm quilting at home. “I quickly decided that wasn’t enough of a machine. I wanted something bigger.”

Gael bought the bigger machine she wanted and put it in their Sports & Shirts store in 2006, launching Quilt 4 U. Her daughter-in-law, Mindy Balsdon, joined her in 2014.

“I fell in love with it,” said Mindy. “I love fabric. I love to see what people create and bring in.”

“That’s the best part,” said Gael, “the show and tell.”

When customers bring their finished quilt tops to the store, Gael and Mindy will help them choose the thread color and stitching pattern to be used to stitch the layers of the quilt together.

“If you want to personalize it, Gael has the machine to embroider it before it gets quilted,”

said Mindy.

“We’ve done a lot of that,” acknowledges Gael. “Names, dates, weddings, births, baby blankets. We usually embroider on the front and then quilt it so the back side of the stitching isn’t seen on the back of the quilt, which is nice.”

COVID was a challenge in that it only made things busier.

“People needed something to do,” said Gael. “It’s a good hobby. A lot were finishing old projects. It was a little bit of a

challenge getting enough batting. We started stockpiling it because it was hard to get for a while. Now it’s pretty good.”

Quilt 4 U has polyester/cotton batting and cotton batting for sale that you can use in your quilt if you want.

Gael and Mindy want their customers to be happy. If they’re not, they will try to make it right.

“We always stand behind what we’ve done, and we will fix it if you’re not happy with it,” said Gael.

Quilt 4 U is located in Sports & Shirts at 203 7th Avenue in Langdon. They are open Mon-

day through Friday, 9:00 a.m.4:00 p.m. Saturdays are by appointment only. The number at the store is 701-256-4200, and they also have a Quilt 4 U Facebook page.

“Some will call ahead and ask the store hours and if we’re taking quilts,” said Gael. “There’s a lot of places that are out 6 months before you get your quilt in. We are about 2-3 weeks.”

Their customers are from Langdon, nearby towns, and from as far away as Minot, Minnesota, Iowa, and K e nt u c k y.

M i n d y travels to Cavalier occasionally and will deliver quilts if there are any ready to go.

“If they have stuff ready, they bring them to me and vice versa,” said Mindy. “If they need it before my next trip then they come up and get them.” Mindy also does some custom quilting for customers, making the quilt tops for them, quilting the layers together and binding the edges. Both Gael and Mindy make quilts for themselves and like giving some as gifts.

“It’s kind of fun to make a quilt and give it as a gift and watch the expression on the people that you give it to,” said Gael. “There’s a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of money put

into them, but it always feels so good to give it.”

“We love what we do,” continues Gael. “It’s been a good combination for both of us. We get along really well.”

Mindy smiles. “She let me in, and I never looked back.”

Karrie Mikkelsen, Cavalier County Senior Meals & Services Karrie Mikkelsen has been the director at Cavalier County Senior Meals & Services since 2013. She has been working at CCSMS for 21 ½ years starting out as the activities coordinator, bus driver, and kitchen helper.

“I remember walking into the Langdon Senior Center years ago because I had heard there was a job opening for an activities coordinator. At the time, Beatrice Delvo was the director, so she and I talked about the job.

As we were chatting the senior bus pulled up outside of the building and Beatrice pointed towards the window and asked me if I thought I could drive that bus. I preceded to tell her that I drove truck on my dad’s farm for years. Her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, and I knew the minute I had said it I shouldn’t have! I have been driving bus ever since.”

A year and a half into her new job, the bookkeeper moved away, and Mikkelsen took over that role as well.

“I remember when I started, I didn’t even have a computer on my desk,” she said. “Now we cont. on page 2

Dr. Chirumamilla promoted at LREC

By Linda Timian Republican Writer Dr. Anitha Chirumamilla has been promoted to extension specialist in cropping systems at the Langdon Research Extension Center (LREC). The promotion was effective October 1, 2021. Filling the position will be a benefit to area growers, the NDSU extension system, and the Ag industry.

“As a cropping systems specialist,” said Chirumamilla, “I will develop extension programs to disseminate research results of the various experiments conducted at the REC to update the knowledge base of the extension professionals, growers, crop consultants, and agronomists.”

The extension specialist in cropping systems position was previously held by Lesley Lubenow and has been vacant since she moved to the position of extension district director/east.

“This specialist position has actually been open for the past two years,” said LREC Director Randy Mehlhoff. “The

governor’s request for NDSU to submit an 85 percent budget last session put the position on hold. No cuts in the budget occurred last session, and authority was given to fill the position.”

Chirumamilla will be a member of a statewide Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources team.

The team is responsible for providing leadership to create and deliver innovative learning ex p e r i e n ce s that empower North Dakotans to improve their lives and communities.

Programming will focus primarily on production agriculture issues and providing expertise and continuing education to Extension professionals, producers, industry, and others regarding crop production practices.

Chirumamilla will work closely with extension agents and build collaborative relationships with commodity groups, the ag industry, private enterprise, and others to identify production issues and develop programming cont. on page 3

Police Report

On October 15, 2021, at approximately 1:43 p.m., the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Office responded to a motor vehicle accident on 95th St. NE near the intersection of 104th Ave. NE. This is located just northwest of Langdon. A deputy with the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and investigated the crash.

As a result of the investigation, the deputy determined that Jacob Muhs of Langdon, ND, was driving west bound on 95th St. NE near 104th Ave. NE. Rodney Agnes of Langdon, ND, was also driving on 95th St NE and was east bound. Agnes attempted to swerve to avoid Muhs who had crossed to the east bound side of the road and struck Agnes’ vehicle head-on.

It was determined that Muhs was distracted by a cell phone at the time of the crash.

Both vehicles were disabled due to significant damage. Agnes received minor injuries as a result of the accident. Muhs was cited for Care Required and Use of an Electronic Communications Device Prohibited.

No further information will be released from the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department at

–––––––––––––––––––––––––– On October 18, 2021, at approximately 10:31 p.m., the Cavalier County Dispatch Center received a report of a house fire in the area of Olga, ND, in rural Cavalier County. Cavalier County Sheriff’s deputies and the Walhalla Fire Department arrived on scene to find the residence fully engulfed in flames.

Fire fighters battled the fire for approximately 4 hours.

After the fire was put out, human remains were located in the residence. The residence was a complete loss. The human remains have been sent to the North Dakota Medical Examiner’s Office. The investigation into this incident is still on going. A cause of the fire has not yet been determined. However, foul play is not suspected at this time. Richard Cuffe, 82 year old, was determined to be the victim.

Official autopsy results are still pending. The case is also still under investigation..

The Langdon Area School Board met Monday, October 18, for their regular scheduled meeting. At the meeting Superintendent Daren Christianson discussed the elementary school project funding. With the votes not coming through to fund this project in past years, money has been being saved in various areas and some federal COVID money can be used.

With staffing being 65-70% of a school's budget, there likely will be no added teaching positions. The estimated project cost will be around $2.2-2.4 million dollars. The budget committee was in agreeance and recommended to the board that now

is the time to move forward and get the project started. This will be a long-term project and not like what was discussed when the project was described during the votes. The elementary school heating project with Martin Mechanical was motioned and approved to get started.

Mortenson and Rygh presented their findings from the audit and were confident in the business manager's skills in keeping funds in order so they are accurate and within means of spending. The board has received requests/petitions from the Langdon Area Education Association regarding negotiations. These were recognized, and a short meeting will occur October 27 at Noon to be in accordance to the steps in the ne-

Athletic Director Ethen Askvig reported that the girls’ softball team raised $19,000 and is hopeful that will exceed $20,000. With the sports co-op schools of Munich and Edmore, there are 28 girls ranging from 7-12th grade interested. The board motioned and approved for girls softball to move forward with starting a team. Askvig also reported for elementary school sports, transportation will be provided if needed. Elementary numbers are up and not looking to slow down soon. With that, there are not enough uniforms for the elementary age groups, and new uniforms are being looked at to be ordered. Devonte Reilly will be the junior high boys basketball coach, and Aric Christianson will be the coach for the elementary boys. Askvig, on a nonathletic note, discussed Choice Ready. It opens up scholarship opportunities for students that meet the choice ready requirements. These guidelines will be discussed more with staff and the curriculum committee.

Todd Hetler reported that the evacuation drill to the Activity Center went smoothly. They are planning a lock down drill in the future.

Daren Christianson expressed how the school and community have been doing well keeping COVID at bay. The superintendent evaluation forms were dispersed for the board to fill out.

The next meeting will be held November 15 for their regularly scheduled meeting.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Local history on our TV screens Ever since digital television came along in 2009, more and more channels are being added to the airwaves all the time. Known as subchannels, many local channels that have always been in our communities, add two, three, four or more subchannels. It all started with Prairie Public Television that mandated a digital signal long before the government.

Prairie Public is the pioneer in this technology, at least in North Dakota.

One of the local channels in most locations across the state is BEK TV. It has a subchannel called Grit, which is 100 percent western movies, western comedies, western weekly dramas. One of its shows, which airs in Bismarck and Minot at 6 a.m. on weekdays and again on Saturday at 8 a.m., is called Death Valley Days.

It’s based on true stories most often about the California desert or the mining camps in Nevada. One recent episode deviated greatly from that norm and featured a half-hour episode about the Bismarck Tribune.

I’m sure we’ve all read about Tribune reporter Mark Kellogg who went with Custer and was killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. It’s quite different when you see actors playing these parts. Clement Lounsberry, who owned the Tribune in the 1870s, sent Kellogg thinking he was going to get a big story, and he did. Kellogg had sent wires back to Bismarck almost daily until the day leading up to the massacre. Then, there was no word from Kellogg for several days.

Nearly two weeks later, the Far West riverboat, piloted by Capt.

Grant Marsh, came back to Fort Lincoln with wounded soldiers. One of the soldiers found his way across the Missouri River to Bismarck, stopping at the Tribune to tell Lounsberry what had happened at Little Bighorn. What most of us don’t know about this history is that Lounsberry had a close connection with the New York Herald, and after he found out about the massacre, he sent a wire to New York and had the telegraph operator keep the line tied up thinking it would break at any time, just as soon as he got word from the War

Department, but that didn’t happen.

At first the War Department didn’t respond, then flat out denied that a massacre had taken place.

When Lounsberry ran out of copy to send to New York and the War Department still hadn’t acknowledged the massacre, he ordered his telegraph operator to start sending Bible passages to keep the line open.

When the Herald editor began to see Bible passages, he knew immediately that Lounsberry had something that would “rock the nation.” He later made the risky decision of printing the story in the Bismarck Tribune and sending it to the New York Herald for further publication.

Army leadership was livid, but after the article appeared in these two papers, especially the New York Herald with a much larger readership, the War Department finally admitted Custer and all of his men were wiped out. It included Tribune reporter Mark Kellogg whose bloodstained notes were found beside his body. One item the show titled “The Lounsberry Scoop,” had incorrect is that Custer and Kellogg were the only two who weren’t scalped. In reality, Kellogg was scalped, and an ear was missing when his body was found. He was identified by the boots he was wearing.

Kellogg, a Canadian who came to Dakota Territory for opportunity, was a reporter at the Tribune and after being sent, or imbedded, as it is called today, with the 7th Cavalry, his stories, partially written in his notes, went out to papers all across the country. As a result, he became known as the first Associated Press reporter to die in the line of duty.

Back in Bismarck, there was a lot of disbelief about what had happened in Montana. Everyone, including Lounsberry, was expecting Kellogg to write about a sensational victory. But according to reports, Custer was outnumbered by 2,500 to about 700 and didn’t have a chance.

He marched his men right into a death trap.

For years, a memorial stood in downtown Bismarck, only two blocks from the present-day Tribune, recognizing Kellogg’s effort as well as the Tribune’s effort. At the time it was one of the most historical stories in journalism and would have surely won a Pulitzer Prize but happened 41 years before the Pulitzer Prize began.

Letter to Editor

Letter to the Editor: For the last decade artists in the music industry have glorified drug use without making a mention of the consequences that they really cause.

It went from glorifying drug dealing to glorifying the use of codeine, molly, weed, OxyContin, cocaine, you name it and it’s referenced in at least one of your favorite artists songs. In the past ten years there have been a number of drug overdose deaths in the industry. From Mac Miller to Lil Peep, Whitney Houston, Prince, Tom Petty, Juice World, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, and Rick James.

With this I have noticed a ton of artists speaking out on the awareness of drugs and suicide. From Logic to Lacrae, 50 Cent, Macklemore, Com-

mon and Eminem. The drug crisis we are in has opened artists minds up to how influential there work can really be. Juicy J made headlines for apologizing for promoting drug use.

I hope it sets the tone for this decade to come because things need to make a change for the better and what better way than the music industry to start this amazing trend.

Article V: Amendments to Create a “More Perfect Union” Article V of the Constitution— the Amendatory Clause—provides the constitutionally prescribed means for changing the Constitution to keep it adequate to the needs of the American people. This innovative provision empowers the citizenry and their representatives to breathe life into the aspirational language of the Preamble: “ to form a more perfect Union.”

The essential values embodied in the Amendatory Clause tell the story of American Constitutionalism.

Above all, its inclusion in the Constitution demonstrates the framers’ humility. Delegates to the Constitutional Convention acknowledged that the document suffered from obvious shortcomings, but it represented the most that they could accomplish in the summer of 1787.

The framers knew, among other things, that they could not anticipate the ways in which the nation would, or should, change in the years ahead. Committed to a Constitution that, in the words of Chief Justice John Marshall, would “endure for the ages,” the framers recognized the need for a mechanism that could be exercised to amend the law of the land so that it would not become stale, brittle and irrelevant in the face of societal, cultural, political and technological changes.

Among the wisest of the framers’ many wise decisions, the creation of a formal constitutional means of changing the Constitution stood at the top. Delegates to the Convention viewed the clause as a means of responding to flaws and “emergencies,” as seen, for example, in the decision of the First Congress in June of 1789 to draft a Bill of Rights as a remedy for its omission in the Constitution of 1787.

Approval of the 19th Amendment in 1920 granted women the hard-earned and long overdue right to vote. Women still have a long way to go to achieve gender equality, of course, but access to the arenas of leadership represented a foundational pivot for a nation that all but ignored the talents and skills of roughly half the citizenry. A few years ago, Warren Buffet nailed the shortsightedness of America’s indulgence of gender discrimination: “We’ve done well, historically, but think of what we could accomplish if we included the other half of our population.”

The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, extended the right to vote to 18-year olds, and ended the anomaly of asking a younger generation to fight and possibly die for a nation that denied them the opportunity participate in its political life. Passage of the amendment, like others, was a byproduct of pressure brought by the tens of thousands of Americans who poured into the streets and demanded this “democratical” measure.

The Amendatory Clause doesn’t guarantee, but surely encourages, Americans of all ages and stripes and colors to consider ways in which to improve our nation. The founders could not have foreseen the changes that subsequent generations have made to the original scheme, and while we have no way of knowing how they might have felt about the 27 amendments to the Constitution, it doesn’t matter. Their point in designing Article V, precisely, was that they did not want to hobble progress or deny to future citizens their right to create a “more perfect Union.”

Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

ND Matters: Leading the horse to water

By Lloyd Omdahl While the rest of us are lamenting the ignorance of the electorate, the North Dakota Council on the Humanities and the North Dakota Newspaper Association are taking remedial action.

They have been sponsoring a series of writings by President David Adler of The Alturas Institute in which he discusses the basics of the United State national government.

Adler is well equipped to explain government, having written six books and 100 scholarly articles in the leading journals in his field.

Adler Outstanding As a colleague in political science, I find his writing outstanding, giving clarity to the provisions of the Constitution. A number of North Dakota newspapers have been carrying his work.

Ominously, Adler alleges that “without a broader public understanding of the Constitution and

SERVICE DIRECTORY PUBLISHER AND ADVERTISING MANAGER Lori Peterson

The founders, as Justice Hugo Black was fond of saying, embraced the conception of a living Constitution, best achieved by the availability of the Amendatory Clause.

This clause invites the sovereign people, individually, collectively and through their representatives at the state and federal levels, to imagine and contemplate proposals for altering the Constitution-- in every way, shape and form—to “form a more perfect Union.” At the time of the founding, no other country had ever created a governing document as “democratical,” to borrow from James Wilson of Pennsylvania, that empowered the citizenry to reconceive, reframe and rewrite the law of the land, as did the U.S. Constitution, through participation as delegates to future constitutional conventions and state ratifying conventions.

The history of the Amendatory Clause is the history of citizen activism, the realization in significant ways of the framers’ path-breaking invitation to the American people to participate in the recreation of the Constitution. Consider, for example, the intense pressure and clamor of the electorate in 1787-1788, for the addition of a Bill of Rights to protect fundamental freedoms and liberties. The popular cry was sufficient to persuade James Madison to promise as a candidate for the House of Representatives the introduction of the Bill of Rights, if elected. Madison fulfilled his historic pledge on June 9, 1789.

Consider as well the ratification of “democratical” amendments that brought a leveling influence to American politics and promoted broader and more diverse participation in our system of government.

The 17th provided for the direct election of U.S. Senators. The extension of the franchise for the popular selection of members of the upper chamber marked a transformative moment in the history of the republic. From that point on, Senators were required in the course of campaigns to court “We the People,” rather than the few, influential state legislators and the corporate power behind them.

deeper appreciation of the virtues and values of American Constitutionalism, there is little reason to believe that the nation’s founding document will long endure.”

Many polls and surveys have verified time after time the ignorance of the electorate.

Proving Ignorance Citing one poll, Adler notes that one in three native-born citizens fail the civic literacy tests while over 97 percent of immigrants pass. Only 25 percent of the people can name the three branches of government; 70 percent do not know that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

Without a clear understanding of the implications of every article of the Constitution, “civic illiteracy casts a dark and foreboding shadow over the future of our Democracy,” Adler asserts.

At present, most citizens depend on hearsay for their opinions. Practically none have read the Constitution, yet they expound on it as though they graduated from the Yale law school.

Fodder for Gullible Because they haven’t taken time to learn basic civics, they are easy prey for the rumormongers and deceivers.

And the media on the left and the right are happy to provide fodder for the gullible.

In North Dakota, we have saddled citizens with an impossible task of responsible voting.

We are so election happy that we require intelligent votes for school districts, park districts, townships, counties and the state – something like 2,500 governments in all.

North Dakota has more stateelected officials than all other states except South Carolina. And do our voters know the qualifications of each candidate and the track re-

cord of each incumbent? At your leisure, go down a city street and ask people at random who the state treasurer is? Or the agriculture commissioner?

Too Many Elected If most states can get by with five elected officials, why does North Dakota need a dozen? Those with only administrative duties should be appointed and only those with policymaking powers should be elected.

Then we expect intelligent voting on ballot measures. In most cases, voters go into the polls blind and play “eenie, menie, moe” with their decisions. From personal experience, it’s the language of the first 15 words that make a difference.

Or some use the rule “if you don’t know, vote no”.

Good measures have been defeated and bad measures have passed because ballots were cast by voters who didn’t have a clue about the consequences.

Horse Won’t Drink So the Newspaper Association and the Council on Humanities are bringing a partial cure for ignorance with the writings of Dave Adler but there is a major problem underlying all of the ignorance. Even though provided with critical information for every citizen, we are confronted with the old adage that “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.”

I have never had any illusions about the number of readers of editorial pages. Consequently, I wonder how many readers are pouring over Adler’s wisdom.

Because an uninformed electorate slows decision-making, we may dally too long to save the republic in this fast-moving era. It is the Achilles Heel of our democracy.

Marliss Bock

A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 30, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. with a gathering of family and friends from 10:00-11:00 a.m. at Roseville Lutheran Church in Roseville, MN, for Marliss Bock, 89, who passed away peacefully on October 11, 2021, surrounded by loved ones. Service will be livestreamed at https://www. rosevillelutheran.org/celebrations/ marliss-bock/.

Marliss was born in Langdon on the family farm of Arthur and Alice Rude. She grew up with her four siblings, cousins and friends in the Red River Valley which is dotted with coulees, prairie potholes,

and farm fields. After high school, she attended secretarial school in Minneapolis where she supported herself with employment for many years. In the early 1960s, she met and married her husband, Bob, with whom she shared her love of nature, literature, and education.

When their children were born, she became a full-time devoted mother filling their home with the smells of home cooking and baking, the whir of the sewing machine making clothes, the sounds of reading aloud books and hours of imaginative play. As her children grew older, she worked as bookkeeper of the family business and worked part-time at the public library in Glencoe. Upon retirement, she and Bob moved north to a retirement community in Becker where they flourished together with volunteering, making

Church new friends, traveling the western US, and enjoying grandparenthood.

In 2018 she moved to Roseville to be closer to her daughters. There, she enjoyed cozy senior independent apartment living where she forged new friendships while holding dear memories of a life full of family, adventure, friends, and giving from the heart while, as always, keeping true to her spiritual core.

Marliss was preceded in death by her husband, Robert “Bob”, and sisters Bernice and Darlyne.

She is survived by her children: Dan (Crystal), Margo (Mark), and Randa (Tim); grandchildren: Carter, Logan, Maya, and Seth; and many other loving family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Friends of Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge.

October is Fire Prevention Month, so on October 20, the Munich Elementary School took a field trip to the Munich Fire Department. The importance of fire alarms and having a family meeting place was discussed, along with a demonstration of how a fireman’s voice can be distorted from their equipment. After learning about all the different parts of the fire fighter’s clothing, they were allowed to go through the cab of the large fire truck. The students also saw the Rangers that are used if there is a grass or field fire. After the visit, each child received a fire hat as well as a book and crayons, stickers, and candy.

Darrel Hoffman from the Langdon Fire Department visited with St. Alphonsus students K-8th grade about fire safety and much more. The students learned about the 3 safes: Think Safe, Act Safe, Be Safe! Thank you, Darrel, for coming in to visit with our students. Having our local emergency personnel involved in our students’ education is important to us and part of our school safety plan!

Word of the Week Around the world, schools are marking October as Bully Prevention Month. We all know bullying is a problem in our society – whether it’s with kids or, more recently, adults. Our school wants to be part of the solution, not just one month out of the year but all year long. At St. Alphonsus School, we are proud to promote kindness and positive action. These are cornerstones of our belief system, and we’re able to see these things in action every day in our school. We’re fortunate that our class sizes are small which allows our school to have a more “family” feel.

This school year we started something new to bring our classes closer together and to promote virtues. We now have the Saints Word of the Week. So far, we have featured the words “considerate” and “attentive”, and just last week, our word of the week was “grateful.” Our Word of the Week is displayed in each classroom and shared on our daily announcements. Most importantly, the teachers use the word to recognize when students are demonstrating the word.

“Student, I noticed you let your friend finish speaking before you shared your thought – that was very considerate of you.”

Our words of the week highlight the language we want to feed our children. Students are sponges, and they soak up this type of positivity.

I’ve heard these words travel from school, back to my house through my children, and I’m hoping that our Saints families have noticed the same thing.

A school mom recently told me that her daughter recognized her younger brother with one of our words of the week – the daughter used the word “considerate” while playing and noticed her brother sharing toys after school.

The greatest thing to me is that the kids absorb and use these words and they don’t understand what a big deal it is to the adults overhearing their positivity.

In closing, I will use our word of the week to express how I’m feeling.

I am so grateful for our school family, our supportive community, and to you, for reading my columns.

Thank you.

Cavalier County Republican

Cards close out regular season with 45-20 over Carrington; Head to playoffs with 8-1 record

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team was looking to build momentum for the postseason when they hosted Carrington on Oct. 15. It was Senior Night for the Cards, and Tucker Welsh, Zach Rostvet, Shaun Goeser and Jacob Pollestad were all recognized, along with their parents, before the game.

It was a successful evening all the way around, as Langdon-EdmoreMunich beat Carrington 45-20. The win puts the Cards record at 8-1 to close the regular season. They finished as the second seed in the Northeast Region for the upcoming Class B 11-Man playoffs. They will host the Oakes Tornadoes in a first round game to be held in Langdon at 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 23.

In their game with Carrington, the Cardinals scored on their first possession when a 27-yard pass from Rayce Worley to Carter Tetrault set up a seven yard TD pass from Worley to Tucker Welsh on a nicely executed fade route. Alex Gellner added the PAT to make the score 7-0, but later in the first quarter, a bad snap over Cards punter Brady Regner's head gave Carrington excellent field position.

They scored on the very next play

on a 26-yard run by Michael Clifton to tie the game at seven each.

As Langdon-Edmore-Munich has done all season, they answered with two scores in the second quarter - one on a Worley one-yard sneak and the second on an 11-yard pass from Worley to Welsh, which was set up by a 39-yard pass to Markus Kingzett. Markus would start the second half scoring his 10th receiving TD of the year, a 36 yarder from Worley, to give the Cards a 27-7 lead.

We have to give Carrington credit; they were playing their last game of the season and played like it, not giving up at all. They would cut the lead to 13 on a touchdown pass, but again Langdon-Edmore-Munich answered loudly with Carter Tetrualt's 12th rushing score of the season followed by the Cardinals recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff which led to Worley running in his second touchdown of the night. Kingzett would cap the scoring with a 58-yard run.

Tetrault led the Cards in rushing with 58 yards on nine carries followed by Jack Romfo with 10 rushes for 54 yards. Worley finished the game going 14 for 20 passing and 194 yards, while Kingzett led the receivers with 79 yards on three catches.

Lady Cards get two wins over PRFL, NR-S as regular season winds down

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

There are now just over two weeks left in the regular season for North Dakota high school volleyball. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals have kept busy with two wins in the past week, both by 3-0 sweeps at Park River on Oct. 18 and at home in Edmore versus New Rockford-Sheyenne on Oct. 19.

With the victories, the Lady Cards are now 29-2-1 this season and are unbeaten in Region 4 matches. The Cardinals host Grafton on Oct. 26, Northern Cass on Oct. 28, and then have a big region showdown at home against North Star on Nov. 1 to close out their regular season.

The Region 4 tournament will begin with play-in matches on Nov. 5 at home sites followed by the tourney to be held Nov. 8-11 in Devils Lake.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich has clinched a bye for the play-in round of the tourney. Here is a recap of their last two matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Park River-Fordville-Lankin 0 Against the Aggies on Oct. 18, Langdon-Edmore-Munich played a steady match throughout with several girls contributing to the sweep win.

Senior Morgan Freije led the way with 14 kills followed by fellow senior Morgan Thielbar who had 10.

Serving has been a hallmark of the

Lady Cards program since head coach Rich Olson took over 26 years ago, and this match would be no exception as the Cardinals had 17 aces on the night led by five each from Halle Jabs and Jalynn Swanson.

Swanson also had another great night at setter, finishing with 28 assists.

Defensively, the Cardinals had 57 digs with Jabs and Amble both getting into double figures with 10 apiece.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, New Rockford-Sheyenne 0 A nice crowd was at the Lady Cards annual match in Edmore.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich came out and lead 20-9 in the first set, only to see the Rockets go on 7-0 run to make things interesting at 20-16.

The Cardinals did settle down and won 25-17.

In set two, Langdon-EdmoreMunich had a huge run and led 19-3 thanks to the serving of Morgan Thielbar, who served 14 points in a row. The Cards won 25-7 and then took the third set 25-14.

Morgan Freije had 13 kills to, again, lead the Cards in that category followed by McKenna Schneider with eight and Thielbar with seven.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich had 12 service aces with Thielbar having four and Marlee Hetletved three.

Jalynn Swanson had 34 assists, which puts on 1,500 for her career, and Freije had 12 digs, which put

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Cardinals and other area teams are into their playoff runs We start this week with another one of the most wonderful times of the year, with high school football playoffs heating up, and other fall sports that are just finishing or just about to start their postseason.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich finished their football season with an 8-1 record, another banner year, and they host Oakes in the opening round of the Class B 11 Man Football Playoffs on Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. The Cards are

hoping to go deep into the playoffs once again this year, as they are defending their three time state championships (Although it is called a different name this season, the times are mostly the same). It looks like it may be a little different for the Cards in this years postseason, as they are the second seed in the Northeast Region, so if they are fortunate enough to beat Oakes, they most likely would be on the road the rest of the way.

That's different from the past three years, when the road to the Fargodome went through Langdon. At home or on the road, the Cardinals are hoping to play well and keep advancing.

gles are in the championship game of the North Dakota 6 Man Playoffs, where they will play Center-Stanton for the title on Oct. 23 in Minot. Cavalier, North Prairie and St. John have also reached the second round of the 9 Man Playoffs, and we wish them all the best of luck in trying to reach the quarterfinals.

Lady Cards finish regular season with three home matches We are still not quite ready for the postseason for the girls volleyball, but the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals team has a nice end to their regular season schedule, with their last three matches at home in Langdon. The Lady Cards will host Grafton on Oct. 26, and Northern Cass, a team in the top 10 in the state, on Oct. 28. The last match is a Region 4 showdown with North Star on Nov. 1, which we also believe is also Senior Night for the Cardinals. As of this writing, Langdon-Edmore-Munich has a record of 29-2-1 so far this season, and hopefully you can get out and see them in action in person on any or all of the three dates above.

The Region 4 Tournament will begin with play-in round matches on Nov. 5, with the tourney running Nov. 8-11 at the Devils Lake Sports Center.

Spanier takes over as new president of Langdon Hockey Boosters We will close this week with some hockey talk. The ice is in at Dakota Spirit Arena, and practice for some levels of the Langdon Blades teams will begin in the week ahead. Dallas "Fuzz" Witzel has stepped down as president of the Langdon Hockey Boosters. Witzel served on the board for five years, with four as president, we thank for his time and efforts for promoting Langdon hockey. Jason Spanier was elected as the new president of the board, and he tells us that the first games of the the season will be the pee wees and mites both play on Nov. 13. Schedules for the Blades junior gold and girls hockey teams will be coming out in the near future.

Make sure you check out their website at dakotaspiritarena.org for more updated information as it becomes available.

"See ya!" next week!

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Our Bodies Are Machines The other day, I decided I better go for a walk. I honestly don’t know what motivated me, as I had gotten out of the habit lately. It may have been the extra snacks I ate that day (which included way too much salt and sugar); it may have been the emotional state I was in (pity party central was happening at the moment); it may have been the guilt associated with seeing a few people walking by my house for exercise while I ate those snacks and had my pity party. Whatever the reason, I decided our puppy and I could use some movement. The walk was not what I had in mind…

As the puppy was super naughty and not cooperating, I tried to keep my patience together while I corrected the behavior of jumping, grabbing the leash with his teeth and pulling, and picking everything up off the ground that he shouldn’t if he didn’t have the leash in his teeth. I was getting frustrated and didn’t even want to go for the walk anymore. It was not helping my emotional state.

Once I got his behavior corrected (at least to a tolerable level), we started walking at a good pace, and I realized how out of shape I have become from being too sedentary. I have neglected myself because I got out of the habit of using conscious

thought as to what I am doing for my health. Feeling out of breath when not even running is an indicator that I need to rethink my food choices and lack of exercise. I also realized the other day that I have slumped into hibernation mode already this fall, and that results in poor food choices and less exercise for me. Both are not conducive to a healthy lifestyle.

While I was embarking on the walk after my puppy settled down, I reminded myself that I better practice what I teach. It was just a week or so ago when I was talking to some elementary classrooms about our bodies being machines.

Kids are usually excited about getting to drive, so this is something that sticks with them sometimes.

We talk about how we wouldn’t put fuel or gasoline in our vehicles that wouldn’t help our vehicles run, why would we do that to our bodies? What we put into our bodies (food, exercise, and sleep) directly affects what we get out of our bodies. All three of those key factors contribute to our body systems working at prime levels. All it takes is a little conscious effort and planning to make it happen. Our bodies are machines that will work well when looked after. I was very relieved after speaking with a few friends and finding out that I am not alone in the world of currently slowing down and not paying as much attention to my health as I should. I decided we could all use

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings October 7, 2021 On October 7, 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. Meeting was moved to Thursday due to NDACo conference. 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 Stanley Dick; motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Anita Beauchamp, Clerk of Court, introduced her new Deputy Clerk of Court, Teresa Anderson, to the commissioners. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager/911 Coordinator, met with the commissioners and informed them that the courthouse security grant she applied for through Homeland Security was successful in the amount of $40,140.00, with no matching funds required. Kempert stated the grant would electronically secure the exterior doors of the courthouse and would allow dispatch in the Sheriff’s Department to lockdown the courthouse in an emergency situation. Kempert also informed the commissioners that the federal funds for storm shelters at the Mt. Carmel Dam rec area were released. A change of scope had been submitted for 4 small shelters that could be moved. The estimated cost was the same, so Kempert did not think the change would be a problem. The commissioners discussed the ARPA funds and possible uses with Kempert. Allowable uses were discussed and ways it could benefit the community. The commissioners decided to put it on the next agenda to possibly designate amounts for various categories and put a committee together that would review proposals from the community. The committee would then bring proposed projects to the commission.

Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners. Summary of roadmen hours was approved. There was discussion on the future maintenance of County 13 following the gravel lift project.

The project update list from KLJ was reviewed, as well as KLJ’s report on how various other counties handle their gravel maintenance of roads. Options for the Mt. Carmel Dam road to apply for SRT funding were reviewed. It was decided to have KLJ do another estimate for a 4” gravel lift and reshape of the Mt. Carmel Dam road. It was also decided to have KLJ put a plan/ estimate together for a gravel lift with dust control and any culverts needed for drainage on County 55 through the gorge. Johnston asked the commissioners if they were in agreement with transitioning the equipment from the Sarles shop to

the Munich shop. The commissioners were in agreement if the operators were. The Trojan loader that was moved from Vang to Langdon was discussed. It was decided to look into the cost of repairs and utilizing it at the Langdon shop. The commissioners reviewed properties for appraisal for the upcoming tax sale. In light of new legislation not allowing the county to keep any sale proceeds in excess of the taxes owing, Nick Moser made a motion to set the selling prices at the amount of taxes owing, to include the estimate for the 2021 taxes, seconded

by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

Nick Moser made a motion to appoint Amanda Buchweitz and Jackie Nye as ND State Fair Delegates, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Cindy Stremick, Treasurer, met with the commissioners and requested purchasing a two-desk unit that would allow both employees to be accessible at the front of the office, share printers, eliminate two computers, and allow for accessibility when they start doing driver’s license testing/renewals. The cost of the desk unit was $7,375.00. Nick Moser made a motion to purchase the desk unit utilizing Motor Vehicle funds, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Stremick informed the commissioners that the county’s software provider developed an update to the taxation program that would allow website access to tax statements. The cost of the update was $7,500.00, with an annual maintenance fee of $850 starting in 2022. David Zeis made a motion to approve the update to taxation paid from the Treasurer’s capital outlay budget, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried.

Greg Goodman made a motion to approve a Raffle Permit for Our Lady’s Preservation, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Greg Goodman stated he wanted to publicly thank Stanley Dick for all his work as President of the ND Association of Counties Board this past year and his continued position as past president in the coming year.

Goodman stressed the importance of rural input and representation on the board. The proposed legislative redistricting was reviewed and discussed which would split Cavalier County between two districts, leaving the east 10 townships in the same legislative district and the remainder of the county in a legislative district with counties to the west. Anita Beauchamp, Clerk of Court, met with the commissioners and explained that she had not taken the full $225/month increase given July 2021, as she swapped it with her deputy, who was eligible for $180/month increase, due to added job duties her deputy had taken on. Beauchamp asked if, in light of having a newly hired deputy who will not have the added job duties, she could get approval to receive the difference of $45/month. Beauchamp explained that the deputy

P .03 0 0 0 0 0 0

position, after designated training goals have been met, will be compensated at $45/month less than the former deputy and this would keep her within the set budget for 2022. David Zeis made a motion to approve the $45/month increase effective October 1, 2021, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried.

Commissioners had discussion on gravel PI requirements for future gravel bids, as well as a system to spot check gravel quantity. It was decided to review the ad for gravel bids and possibly set up a meeting with area contractors to discuss PI expectations with the gravel bids for next year. Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, met with the commissioners regarding a letter he received on the opioid lawsuit, which would allow Cavalier County to register for the lawsuit. Stewart stated he is waiting for a return call and will follow up with the commissioners before the registration deadline. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by David Zeis to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: NICK MOSER, COMM_____ 340.00 NICK MOSER, COMM_____ 193.76 DAVID J.

Overcoming challenges, both on and off the farm/ranch, is the focus of the ninth annual Women in Leadership Development (WILD) Conference slated for Wednesday, Nov. 10, in Jamestown at the North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) Conference Center. Women will draw inspiration from speakers and participants alike, including popular “agvocate” Michelle Miller.

Miller, a social media influencer known as “The Farm Babe” from Gainesville, Fla., educates consumers on how food is produced in modern agriculture. She dispels consumer misinformation by providing knowledge and facts from real farmers and leading industry experts.

Mental health awareness is also an important aspect of the confer-

ence, said NDFU Member Relations Specialist Amanda Olson. “Mental health is important to overcoming any challenge in our lives, and we can’t be afraid to talk about it,” she said. “We all face challenges. Hearing stories from women who have overcome something similar or greater will be empowering.”

Other conference highlights include a panel of North Dakota women in agriculture who will also be sharing their inspiring stories, a fun craft, and networking activities.

The conference is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $25 for NDFU members and $55 for non-members. To register for the conference, go to ndfu. org/wild. For more information, contact Jane Opdahl at jopdahl@ ndfu.org or 701-952-0195.

Prairie Fare: Cooking for one or two can be a new adventure

“The dogs will really miss you. They’re getting pretty old you know,” I said to my daughter.

“Stop making me feel guilty!” she said.

She was researching apartment offerings online. I had offered free rent, meals and laundry.

I never claimed to be a parenting expert. I wasn’t quite ready for our nest to be empty.

Our daughter recently graduated from college, has a full-time job and has continued living with us during the pandemic.

I like having my children around me. The dogs aren’t the only ones to miss our daughter.

I got on board with her decision.

She became my “project.” I refinished furniture, sewed pillows and let her shop in our house to pick out extra furniture and household goods

to help her get launched.

“I think Dad is going to miss me more than you,” she said as we organized her kitchen. She looked at me, waiting for my reply.

“Yeah, probably,” I said with a smirk.

She’s learning my techniques.

She’s only about 10 minutes from us. When we returned home, the house was quiet except for the sound of three dogs prancing around looking for their “sister.” We sat down and looked at each other because the at-home parenting process is complete.

We might be feeling a bit of “empty nest syndrome.” Fortunately, the sadness and loss people might feel as their children become adults is quite normal. My older friends with grown-up “kids” my age have assured me that I will “love being an empty nester.”

I just need to adjust a bit. I still have more pillows to sew and dogs to feed.

When your life situation changes, don’t hang up cooking and balanced meals. Prepare some foods that you always wanted to try but didn’t have a chance.

Take advantage of family-sized recipes. Freeze the extra food in meal-sized containers to give you more time for exploring new hobbies.

Here are some tips from an NDSU Extension publication I wrote a while back called “Cooking for One or Two.” See www.ag.ndsu.edu/food for more information.

Choose recipes that are easy to divide mathematically. In recipes calling for three eggs, use two eggs and remove 2 to 4 tablespoons of liquid (if present) from the recipe.

If a recipe calls for a can of beans

or soup and you would like to divide the recipe in half, use what you need and either refrigerate or freeze the remaining food. Label the container with the contents and date.

Add seasonings gradually. Sometimes you may need to add more (or less) of the spice to reach the desired flavor.

Check for doneness of halved recipes five to 10 minutes sooner than the original recipe.

Use planned-over macaroni to make pasta salad or quick casseroles.

Add planned-over vegetables or meat.

Make mini pizzas by topping English muffins with planned-over spaghetti sauce, vegetables and shredded cheese.

Add chopped onions, mushrooms, peppers and cooked meat to canned spaghetti sauce. Serve spaghetti sauce over noodles one day, then add kidney beans and chili seasoning for another meal.

Top a microwave-baked potato with planned-over chili and cheese.

Mix chopped yellow squash, green peas and grated carrots with a prepared rice mix.

Spice up canned tomato soup by adding chopped green onion, celery and some garlic powder.

Set a table and turn on some soft music. Enjoy a meal for one or two.

As we move closer to a new year, I have an opportunity for you. Please enter the drawing for a free 2022 calendar.

It’s a full-color calendar featuring 12 recipes and many tips. We will give away at least 50 calendars. We will mail the calendars so be sure to include your complete address in the online form. We will not share your information with anyone. Please fill out this online form to enter: https://

By Rita Maisel

Outstanding Graduates Three weeks of listening to stories about outstanding students from Langdon High School and Langdon Area High School has been a snapshot of life and customs in our area. One of the first things that appeared came with the duplication of names. Think three Kathy Krams in a two-year period or two Jason Krams, both very bright. Or maybe two Allan Braatens, two or three Christopher Olsons, or other sound and spell alike examples.

People by those names were chosen as outstanding graduates and putting the right person with the year listed became a challenge.

The original names were engraved on a trophy which remains at the school. To save time or space, an early engraver went to one initial rather than a first name for some of the early winners. Which person with that last name graduated in that year? What if the yearbook lists and pictures someone that was not on the list or even in school that year? When the clipping file did not answer those questions, I tried parents who offered even more interesting stories about where these talented young people are today.

Some are living right in our community.

A translation of this information began right from the beginning so we will start with the years when the recipients were all boys. The award went to D. (Dale) Ramage in 1952 whose story was in last week.

The next year, 1953, Kenneth Mukomela was valedictorian, an outstanding basketball player, and received the outstanding award. He went on to Mayville State where he played basketball, was valedictorian of his class, and speaker for his college graduation. Military service, wife and children were part of his life by that time. One of his first teaching positions was at Garrison where possibly he also coached basketball. Later the Mukomela family moved to Marshall, MN, where Ken taught at Southwest State University until retirement. A long-time member of the National Guard, he took sabbaticals when reactivated for longer periods of time and over the years rose through the Guard

rankings.

Possibly the engraving was too small for an earlier newspaper story because the 1954 name given is K. Johnson. Actually, the award went to Kenneth Johannson, son of Frank and Ina, who went on to become a lawyer with offices in Crookston.

Local readers may remember having their first taste of soft ice cream when his mother built and operated Dairyland along Highway 1.

1955 lists R. Power. who was Robert Joseph Power, son of Richard and Dorothy Power. His Power grandparents were two pioneer era teachers who met each other when they were hired to share teaching duties at one of the first Langdon schools. Bob is remembered as “in everything” and a whiz in math.

He went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from UND and to earn both his master’s and doctorate in philosophy from Emory University in Atlanta. Much of his career was spent teaching at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He taught math, philosophy and logic classes as well as spending time in administration. For relaxation we are told he spent time constructing logic problems for puzzle books. He died in Ohio in 1988.

Tom Belzer received the award in 1956 and spent much of his life in Oregon. Relatives no longer live here so I did not find information on his career. The 1957 award went to Harry Franta, son of Ed and Jennie Franta. Harry played football at LHS, edited the yearbook, and held many offices. He inherited some of his father’s writing skills and possibly his sense of humor. There are memories of classic letters Harry wrote each Christmas. Harry and Margo moved to Utah when their son and “the smartest grandsons ever” settled there in later years.

Harry died in 2017.

Jim Symons received the award in 1958 and may have been the first farm recipient on the list. The Symons family lived in Langdon and also had farmland east of Langdon. His last reported address was Fargo. There was no award given in 1959, and I am told this was because of tragic car accidents featuring local teenage boys. Robert Haugen and Donald Knudson were killed and others in the car injured around this time. Several from the 1959 and 1960 classes also lost their lives in other accidents. The Haugen-Knudson award, still given an-

Cavalier County Republican

Langdon Long Ago

nually, was established at that time.

In 1960 the faculty chose Keith Brooks for the award. Keith served in the military (draft laws were still in effect) and went to school to become a mortician then entered the family business. Keith spent most of his adult life working along with his father, brother Bill, daughter Marnie and other family members.

Keith died in 2004.

Patrick Bodelson was chosen in 1961. His first stop was UND where he joined the University’s ROTC unit. From that point on each clipping shows him receiving additional awards and often a promotion. By 1966 Lt. Bodelson married Lynda Hart over the Christmas holidays. Lynda, at that time, was a junior at UND so she finished her semester and by February joined her new husband who was then stationed in West Germany. Patrick has had tours of duty around the world ever since, taking Lynda and their daughters along whenever possible. Wherever they lived, family and friends included the spot in their winter travels. In recent years they have made their home in Georgia.

In 1962 the award went to R. Crockett – son of Richard (Dick) and Janice Crockett. Because they lived across the street, I do know that neighbors called this Richard “Dickie” to keep the two Dicks straight. Another cousin, who also graduated from LHS, is known as Rick, an example of how families like familiar names. This Richard went on to become a lawyer, practicing in Fargo and later moving to Minnesota where the family may still live. The 1963 award went to Bernie Kiley, son of Eddie and Irene Kiley. Bernie was very musical and also played basketball. At UND he was part of the Varsity Bards and headed that group for a time. He also had a degree in mechanical engineering and spent time working for Pan Am and other firms in Wyoming. He is now deceased.

In 1964 the award changed, and an award for the Outstanding Girl was also established. Because locating the married names or career information on the girls is more difficult, the listing for this column will save the girls for another time.

Tom Valentine was given the award in 1964 with mention of his farming background and that he was known as a wrestler, a sport his sons and grandsons enjoyed as well. Tom still lives on the farm. The 1965 award went to Justin Price, son of Robert and Bernice Price. Always musical, Justin was featured in many school programs and part of the LHS Band.

As a high school junior he was chosen to go to Europe with other talented musicians – possibly one of the first LHS students to make what has become an annual trip for some

special musicians. Justin continued his musical career at UND and other schools, eventually settling in New Mexico where he taught music and performed with the bassoon. The 1966 award went to Wayne Greene, son or Orlin and Shirley Greene. He went on to work with a nationally known food supplier – the Centennial book says Green Giant. There is a memory that Wayne was tall, and his name was Greene but he probably did not do any of the commercials.

Dennis Throndset was the Outstanding Boy in 1967 and has earned many outstanding awards in the years between. He went into teaching, coaching, was elementary principal, and has served on many boards and committees down through the years. Farther down the list, you will learn that some outstanding characteristics may be genetic. In 1968 the faculty chose Daniel Hart, the son of Leonard and Vera Hart. Danny was in music and drama in high school and interested in producing entertainment. One of his next stops was the PBS television studio in Fargo. Later he worked in television on the east coast (Boston or New York) and later in Holland.

One reunion directory gives his address as Belgium, but he does make it back to Langdon occasionally.

1968 was the year St. Alphonsus High School closed and the first year the combined schools had one hundred graduates. How do you handle awards when they are all in one building? By that time there had already been students from Wales in the Langdon group and the outstanding award criteria had dropped from four continuous to two continuous years at LHS. The first list I found listed the Outstanding Boy trophy going to Jon Tveten in 1969, Joel Jacobson in 1970 and did not list Allan Braaten at all!

Here is what happened as near as I could find proof of sorts. In 1969 Jon Tveten had already passed the series of tests which earned him a Merit Scholarship, sponsored in part by Cargill which happened to be the elevator where his father was employed. Jon was definitely an honor student but so was Joel Jacobson who had good grades, had won trophies at state wrestling, and was in FFA. Also, in 1969, Senator Mark Andrews had nominated Allan Braaten for West Point. Allan had already received his Eagle Scout rating and was an all-around good kid, but he was not a member of the 1969 class. The annual for 1970 shows Allan as getting the award that year.

An earlier newspaper clipping lists Jon as valedictorian and Joel as salutatorian for 1969. But wait, there were three young ladies from St. Alphonsus whose academic scores ranked up there with Jon and Joel!

Jon and one of the girls became co-

valedictorians. Joel and the other two became co-salutatorians. The two boys were each awarded the Outstanding Boy designation.

Where are they now? Jon Tveten went on to become a medical doctor practicing in Redlands, CA. Joel went to NDSU to wrestle and study agriculture. Today Joel and his sons are still farming, some of the land being original homesteads owned by their family and neighbors for more than a century. Jon, whose father died recently, is still a doctor in California.

The 1970 yearbook and the clipping file lists the 1970 award going to Allan Braaten, son of Arnold and Marion Braaten, who had also qualified for West Point along with another of his classmates (name not given). Allan did spend two years at West Point but then transferred to UND because the military was not his major goal. He wanted to help young people with problems and had learned about a special school in Austin, MN. In retrospect this was the start of work with special education and special needs children. To the best of my knowledge, he is still living and working in Austin.

The 1971 award went to Carl Brehmer, son of Allen and Mary Brehmer, who grew up in the Dresden area. Carl went on to become an RN, and the Wales Centennial Book lists him as specializing in trauma patients in the Phoenix area.

The 1972 award went to Phil Boe, son of Edsel Boe, a family who left Langdon for Dickinson in 1975. In 1973 the award went to Mike Murie, son of John and Zilpha Murie. Mike went to UND and graduated with a degree in civil engineering. One of the reunion books lists him living in Grand Forks. The 1974 award went to Alfred Padden who has had a long career in the Army. There are frequent moves with Army careers, but reunion data lists him at Ft. Meade, MD. In 1975, Brent Mikkelsen was chosen. There are quite a few Mikkelsen families, but Brent appears to have been living in or near Seattle at the time of one of the reunions.

Dennis Gendreau was the 1976 choice. He is the son of Stan and Evelyn Gendreau. He became a funeral director working in Williston and currently he lives in the Bismarck area. In 1977, John (Brian) Delebo, son of John and Joyce Delebo, was chosen as outstanding.

For some reason Minnetonka, MN, sounds right. I do not remember his career but know he has children his parents were very proud of.

The 1978 winners were covered in last week’s column, and we will continue the listing beginning with the girls when we have enough information to identify them.

Brush with the Bunch

We are in the process on updating our “Archives“ area. If you have never stopped in to check this out, you are missing a lot of our history. It is collection of paintings of former members; some of these are from our founding group of ladies who had a vision of an art club in Walhalla. The archives is our history department. It is our ancestry department. It is one of the reasons we, as the Brush Bunch, are still existing today. While checking this area, I noticed that the first president of the club, Genie Grafton, was missing - not her but one of her paintings. I checked with some of her family. Daughter Estelle Carrier and granddaughter Sylvia Moore, who is a member of the Brush Bunch, may have located one of Genie‘s paintings that will be displayed in our archives soon. A painting was found, read on. I will compile a list of the founders of the Brush Bunch and beg, borrow, or steal paintings to complete this project. Genie Grafton was the first president elected to the Brush Bunch during the first meeting held on November 10, 1971, in the basement of the St. Boniface rectory. Several of her paintings were shared in the Pembina County Heritage “76“ and “89“ historical books that were printed in those years. One of Genie‘s paintings was brought in by her daughter, Estelle, which shows how Genie was into detail; in this painting the horse is chomping away, unaware of the pending storm clouds moving in from the West - her wooden fence and buildings are very detailed. Thanks for sharing this painting. From Just for laughs: the older I get, the earlier it gets late.

Fall has arrived, enjoy the change. Have a great day, and God Bless!
