The State of North Dakota depends heavily on its invaluable agricultural industry to be the backbone of the state's economy. It also depends on the linchpin of the industry, farmland, to supply a significant amount of the state's revenue. Land used for agricultural purposes totals approximately 40 million acres, or about 90 percent of the state’s land. When that highly sought after land comes up for sale, the question a lot of producers ask is not whether or not to buy but if they can buy. “The ag sector of the economy has been struggling for several years. In most instances, farm customers have continued to need the same, or even more, funds for operating expenses. In general, borrowers have become more cautious about taking on additional debt for equipment and land purchases,” Farmers & Merchants State Bank President Chalmer Dettler said. Farm real estate, including land and the structures on the land, account for over 80 percent of farm sector assets. Land ownership patterns vary widely, from retired producers who own all of their land to those who rent substantial amounts of the land. The pros and cons of land ownership versus just renting the land begins with the bot-

tom line. Land value appreciation and depreciation affects farmers differently depending on the amount of land they own versus rent. For many producers, farm real estate represents a substantial share of total household wealth and is the most important source of equity used to secure loans. The phrase 'land rich and cash poor' illustrates the common practice of using land as a source of collateral, making the rise and fall of land value have a significant

consumer. With recent cuts in rates by the Federal Reserve and the probability of more reductions in the near future, farm borrowers will likely see lower borrowing costs in the coming year,” Dettler said. When land prices rise, landowners gain additional collateral which may allow them to increase borrowing. When land prices fall, farmers lose equity, and their access to credit may shrink or even disappear. Kevin Pifer. founder and president of Pifer Auction and Realty, is an

To buy or not to buy when ag land is in short supply

to hold steady and may have slightly increased in areas where there is pent up demand. The decline in interest rates the past two economic quarters has helped support stronger land valuations,” Pifer noted. The quality of land on the market is also better than in previous years. With good, quality land up for grabs, the driving factors behind the land valuations includes soil productivity, commodity prices, interest rates and federal crop insurance. Despite another challenging year in agriculture, land values through early fall in eastern North Dakota remain at historically lofty levels. This is, in part, due to the limited land supply that has been available for the past few years which has been a key factor for the stabilized land market. So who usually owns their farmland? The older, experienced producer. Recent data collected by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that only 5 percent of those owning at least 75 percent of their land were young beginning producers. Young, beginning producers were classified as those who were under 50 years old with 10 or fewer years of farming experience. “Baby Boomers still dominate the selling equation of the farmland. Nearly 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. They either have or are in the processing of inheriting land or cont. on page 2

City of Langdon awarded Project of the Year The City of Langdon Commission and Moore Engineering have been working hard to bring the best solution to the need for updated infrastructure and streets to the residents of Langdon. That hard work has not gone unnoticed as the city was recently awarded Project of the Year from the North Dakota Chapter of American Public Works Association. Every year, Amer ic a n Public Works Association (APWA) r e quests nominations f o r project of the y e a r awards. “Moore Engineering nominated this project on behalf of Langdon because this project addressed several key priorities for the City of Langdon and solved a few infrastructure items by reducing operation and maintenance costs to the city, reducing the amount of electricity consumed in pumping operations, and lowering sanitary sewer piping to help

combat freezing sewer issues,” Andrew Aakre, Moore Engineering’s Project Manager for Langdon, said. The North Dakota Chapter of the APWA selected the City of Langdon and Moore Engineering as the winners for their Project of the Year for the efforts put into Phase I of the city’s water infrastructure and street improvement. The award is based on the following criteria: • Use of good construct i o n manage ment techniques a n d completion of the project on schedule. • Safety performance and demonstrated awareness of the need for a good overall safety program during construction. • Community relations as evidenced by efforts to minimize public inconvenience due to construction, safety precautions to protect public cont. on page 2

Langdon Area School Board had full agenda

The Langdon Area School District (LASD) held their regular meeting to conduct board business on Monday, October 21. The board had a lot of business to discuss, with the majority relating to the recent vote. LASD Superintendent Daren Christianson explained a revote for the project would have to wait 90 days from the election date, making the next attempt to get the measure passed set for January 14. The board approved the vote as the results of the canvassing showed that the vote held on October 1 had 57 percent in favor. Christianson and the building committee have discussed ways to better inform the public, including micro-meetings. The building committee has been in discussion on how to make the project easier. Some of the ideas were to economize the air quality aspect of the project or somehow create a hybrid where room by room air quality is addressed. Other issues that this project faces is that should the vote pass in January, the start date for the project and length will not be in one summer as the previous vote had a more favorable timeline to arrange funding and contractors to do all the work in the summer of 2020. The funding of the project would also need to be addressed as levying for the project could not start

until October 2020 if this vote passes. The board was all in agreement that holding another vote was the best option as board members had heard from many who stated they thought it was going to pass and had subsequently not voted. If the voters will be voting on exactly the same thing is yet to be determined. Elementary Principal Todd Hetler informed the board that during the week of October 14, there was a malfunction with the water pump motor in the heating system. A new motor had to be installed as the motor switch on the old one had gone bad and kept tripping, causing it to burn out the motor. As a result of this, Hetler stated that there were a couple of days where some rooms were only 57 degrees. LASD Business Manager Shauna Schneider reviewed the 2018-2019 end of year financial report. As part of this, Schneider informed the board that the district had been given the recommendation to pursue small claims in regards to the 121 insurance contracts. Schneider reviewed the financials and stated that while there was deficit spending, the projected revenue based on previous years income did not match the expected expenses for the school year. The income for the next school year is expected to

be even lower. Christianson and Schneider believe that the finance committee as well as the other committees should meet and determine if there are areas where there could be more cuts to spending. Board member Tiffany Hetletved supported that decision saying that if one committee would be asked to look at spending then all committees should. Schneider also brought to the board that over the years, teachers that travel between the two school buildings have been given a flat rate stipend of $20 per paycheck, totaling $360 per year. Schneider was unable to find anything in school policy or the negotiated agreement where this was directed to happen. She put forward a recommendation to remove the $20 per paycheck stipend and instead have those teachers that travel between buildings be reimbursed based on mileage accumulated. This is how all other travel is handled for employees. The board approved this. In Other Business • The board rescinded policies and approved replacement policies. • The board reviewed and approved the superintendent evaluation as satisfactory. • The upcoming North Dakota school board convention was discussed as well as who would be attending.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

A new kind of farming… We just wrapped up another farmers market season across North Dakota and what a season it’s been. There are at least 56 markets in the state. Most of them belong to the North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association, but there are several that don’t. This is a huge change since 2005 when only 14 farmers markets were operating in North Dakota. “We’ve come a long way, baby.” We would like to see more markets pop up across North Dakota so in December, the Farmers Market and Growers Association is going to have a board of directors retreat in Carrington to determine what can be done to bring more vendors on board and create more farmers markets. We’re doing this for a couple of reasons. No. 1, we’ve lost a few markets in the smaller communities in recent years, and we’d like to get them back. No. 2, there is incredible demand for locally grown and organic produce, and we can’t seem to figure out why more people aren’t jumping on this bandwagon. In the smaller towns, the demand is more subtle, but in markets like the Red River Market in Fargo, Urban Harvest in Bismarck or North Prairie Farmers Market in Minot, all you have to do is show up at one of these markets and see it for yourself. As a farmers market vendor myself, my only regret is I wished I had started in this busi-

To the editor: A recent Legislative Update from Senator Janne Myrdal expressed deep concern about the “anonymous tip line” and other issues related to the Measure 1 policies that voters approved last November, the Ethics Commission amendment that is now Article XIV of the North Dakota Constitution. She can relax. A Legislative Council attorney provided legislators at her meeting with a legal analysis showing that their concern is completely unfounded. Article XIV requires a standard process, like police tip lines and corporate whistleblower policies. Do legislators fear being subject to the same accountability as the rest of us? In requiring the legislature to implement the amendment, the voters trusted legislators to do their job - figure out how best to make government work. The 2019 session was not successful in that regard their final bill has 21 provisions that likely violate the constitution. If you want transparency, integrity, and accountability in state government, follow the work of Senator Myrdal’s committee, let her know your expectations, and be sure that whoever you vote for knows how to make government work within the constitution. Ellen Chaffee, Bismarck

ness earlier in my life. My farmers market business, North Star Farms, has been doing very well in the past three years, and the only thing I can attribute to this success is the increasing demand of consumers in wanting fresh, locally grown and organic produce. Part of the retreat we are going to in December has to do with a report I wrote and presented to the board of directors on July 1. I reached out to 20 state farmers market associations and three provincial farmers market associations to get ideas on what North Dakota can do to bolster its association and meet some of this demand. I spent months working on this report and received a boat load of information on what we can do here to build our membership. There were ideas that ranged from advertising to reach out to all vendors to even seeking out those markets that are not bona fide members of the association. What we need is new vendors and new markets. How we will get there remains to be seen. The thing about a farmers market is that it doesn’t have to be fresh produce. Many of our markets have diversified and that brings in a unique clientele each week. As an example, North Prairie Farmers Market has soap makers, crochet ladies, authentic Mexican food, baked goods, a potter, a guy who sells just barbeque sauce and another who sells maple syrup tapped from North Dakota trees. What we’re seeing in Minot, Fargo and Bismarck is that customers will come to the market for a specific reason and being impressed with what they see, they continue shopping through-

Dear Editor Letter to the Editor This month High Plains Fair Housing Center launches a campaign to fight sexual harassment in housing. The campaign in North Dakota is inspired by a similar national campaign launched in early 2019 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development under the leadership of Secretary Ben Carson and the US Department of Justice. The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to discriminate in housing transactions based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or family status. This year, High Plains is especially focused on protecting the right of individuals to feel safe and secure in their homes, free from sexual harassment or unwanted sexual advances. Since our start in 2013, High Plains has received calls that may have indicated sexual harassment in housing. For example, repeated entry into a unit without notice at odd times in the day or evening or quid pro quo harassment in which a property manager conditions repairs on dating or “friendship”. These calls did not end in fair housing complaints but they did demonstrate the need for a stronger message that that sexual harassment in housing is illegal.

out the market and often purchase goods from other vendors. This has been going on, at least in Minot, for the past four years and really picked up these past two years. It has brought some amazing crowds to our market which translates to incredible sales. We want to share the good fortune, but we’re not going to hand it over in a silver platter. Vendors have to earn the trust of the consumers and when that happens, you are golden. Several of the vendors at North Prairie are young women in their 20s. That is a good sign for the future because they are taking the initiative to take a bit of a risk to earn some money. Many of us are aging and will consider retirement before the end of the next decade. That means there will be a lot of holes to fill because I can guarantee, the demand isn’t going away anytime soon. I’ll be the first to admit, it isn’t easy. The work is hard- sometimes you work in the rain, cold and even snow. You get bit by mosquitoes, you wear out multiple pairs of gloves in a season and the life expectancy of machinery is low because of the aggressive demand on said implements. One of our bakers is up late Friday night and out of bed at 4:00 Saturday morning to get her breads to market. In her late 20s, she understands the benefit of hard work. The potter is there three hours before the market opens and leaves three hours later because he understands the benefit of hard work. The demand is there. We need the supply. In December, we’re going to figure out how to get it.

Anna María Farías, HUD’s Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity said, “No one should have to tolerate harassment or unwanted sexual advances in order to keep a roof over their head, and HUD will continue to take appropriate action when discrimination of this type occurs.” High Plains has a two pronged approach for North Dakota: First, an outreach toolkit will be distributed throughout the state and is designed to reach victims of sex discrimination and their advocates to insure that victims of sexual harassment know their rights are and how exercise their rights. Second, a public awareness campaign including launching of a social media campaign, Billboards and Public Service Announcements (PSAs). The campaign is specifically designed to raise awareness, and make it easier for victims all over North Dakota to find resources and report harassment. Sexual harassment in housing is illegal. Fair housing is your right. If you are experiencing sexual harassment in your housing, please contact us. Michelle Rydz (701) 335-9244 Michelle@highplainsfhc.org

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Don’t Shoot the Messenger Every single position I have ever held from high school to even now as the writer for this paper has had one thing in common- customer service. The skills one learns when dealing with customers are insanely helpful as a person gets older- from the temper tantrums of little kids to the understanding of what will appease an especially irate older adult. A lot of the times calm, carefully worded explanations are adequate to stopping the melt down and getting them to understand. Customer service skills are here to save the day. For businesses that depend on the United States Postal Service to deliver their product, delays in delivery such as what occurred locally over the weekend of October 11, followed by the federal holiday

on Monday, made a lot of people unhappy. They didn’t get their mail when they wanted it. The irony of all this is that the postal workers already knew that people were not getting their mail. They already knew that there would be a lot of unhappy people. Nobody wants to be yelled at for things they have no control over, especially when that thing is weather-related. Once that mail leaves your hands, it’s transferred to them. From them, it’s transferred to another, then another, then another, on and on until that mail you sent is delivered. Cutting those that deliver mail and packages some slack is kind of a must during the winter months. So the next time there is a delay in delivery, please understand that only so much can be done to make that mail delivered when it’s expected. Don’t shoot the messenger that is just trying to help.

North Dakota scholarship essay contest

In spring of 2020, North Dakota Mensa will be awarding a $500 scholarship and the Mensa Foundation will award a $600 scholarship, both to North Dakota residents. These two scholarships are guaranteed to go to North Dakota students. However, Mensa offers a wide variety of specialized scholarships. Last year a North Dakota student was awarded the regional scholarship covering an eight-state Midwest Region, so three North Dakota students won Mensa scholarships. The 2020 Mensa scholarship contest is open to all North Dakota residents who are enrolled in a U.S. college or university in the academic year following the award (Fall 2020). Applicants must write 550-word essays that describe their

educational and/or career goals. Winners are selected based on these essays and Mensa Foundation judging criterion. The Foundation’s college scholarship program bases its awards totally on essays written by the applicants. Consideration is not given to grades, academic program, or financial need. Mensa membership is not required, nor is it relevant. The scholarship application process is open now and closes January 15, 2020. The Foundation’s U.S. scholarship program covers all of the country and awards more than $140,000 a year. The program relies on approximately 450 volunteers around the country, with support from the Foundation’s office staff.

Applicants must be enrolled in a degree-granting program in 2020 at an accredited college or university within the US. Winners may apply the award towards undergraduate, graduate, and non-traditional programs. A panel of North Dakota Mensans will select the semi-finalists and send those essays to the Mensa Foundation for selection of the winners. Grammar counts, as does essay organization, clarity of writing, and following the instructions. One entry makes an applicant eligible for all the applicable scholarships. More information is available at http://www.mensafoundation. org/what-we-do/scholarships/.

Not your grandmother’s quilt show set for Oct. 25-26 Quilting on the Red is coming Thursday to Saturday, Oct. 24 to 26 at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks. North Star Quilters Guild invites the public to its biannual quilt show, which features more than 250 quilts by traditional and modern artists, four special exhibits, five presentations/trunk shows, 14 quilt shops, daily basket raffles—in food, crafting, and other themes—and Viewer’s Choice voting. The event kicks off Thursday evening with a special artist reception featuring the Watercolor Challenge. This exhibit pairs art quiltinspired paintings by members of the Red River Watercolor Society with the quilts that inspired them. A professional painter and member of the watercolor group will be discussing several of the pairings during a brief program. Preregistration required. The show opens to the public Friday. Lecture/trunk show topics focus on journeys—personal and historical. The 11 a.m. lecture, A Quarter Century of Quilts, is a quilt judge’s journey from novice to best-of-show winner with nearly 40 quilts in a wide variety of techniques to tell the story. Threads of Time presenter Sharyn Resvick has tried nearly every quilting technique on her journey to creating a large collection of small quilts. Sharyn will share her story and many of her quilts during the 2 p.m. lecture. (Many more are included

in one of the special exhibits.) The last lecture of the day, Masterpiece Quilts from the DAR Museum Collection, shares the journey of American quilting experience. Our show judge, Maribeth Schmit, is a Corresponding Docent for the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum in Washington, DC. Her slides will highlight quilts in the collection covering 1750-1940, accompanied by histories and provenance. The quilts are made from fabrics that reflect the taste, style and often the wealth of the women artists. A brief show-and-tell will follow. Friday show hours are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. On Saturday, the lecture/trunk show topics invite you to expand your quilting repertoire. Our own national award-winning quilter, Colleen Carson, will present A Pattern Is Just a Suggestion at noon. Originally from Cavalier, Colleen’s style has evolved to include color, theme, and modern variations to patterns and pictures that transform ideas into her own designs. Colleen will share techniques to use patterns as a springboard to creativity. The 2 p.m. lecture, Parallel Lines— Exploiting the Powerful Potential of Stripes, features author/teacher/ pattern designer Pamela Goecke Dinndorf who has learned to harness stripes to add movement and energy to her quilts. Pam will share fabric sources, cutting techniques, and inspiring examples. (FYI, Pam is teaching a class at Quilters JEM

October has come and gone in a blink of an eye. The first week of October brought us through a quick view of several seasons. We enjoyed a couple 65-degree days followed by a historic blizzard. Due to the blizzard we had to leave school early on Thursday, October 10th and canceled school for Friday, October 11th. This blizzard sure came in and left its mark, but all our students and staff made it home safely! After the blizzard we got to move into spring again with a quick melt, but not before the students got to enjoy playing in all the snow first. Also during the month of October, we have been learning about fire safety. Our preschool-1st grade went on field trips to the Langdon Fire Department. We are working on rescheduling a school-wide visit with the wonderful firemen of Langdon at the school. We had to postpone the visit due to the blizzard. Our students also attended an assembly at the Langdon High School called “Dimes, Dollars, and Decisions”. The students learned about saving and investing their money. Another exciting happening

in October was Ella Brekke being chosen as the Northern Lights Art Student of the Month!! Ella worked hard on a beautiful pumpkin painting. Please go and view Ella’s nice work displayed at the Bread Pan Bakery. So many great projects going on at St. Alphonsus School! We were so lucky to partner up with Stevie Bredeson with Usborne Books to have a “Bookraiser” at the beginning of the school year. From the success of the “Bookraiser” we are excitedly putting over 40 new books into our school library. We received a wide variety of books, from nonfiction books to graphic novels. We are so excited for our students to get their hands on these new titles! Our library got a little facelift this fall as our librarians worked hard at rearranging the whole room and making if a much more functional library. We will continue to keep new titles coming into the library for the students to read for enjoyment and to use for research projects. Our students have been working hard and learning lots. We finished our first quarter of the school year on Thursday, October 24. We have had a very successful first quarter. We look forward to more events, activities, and experiences as we move into the second quarter. Happy Fall!

Grant program designed to attract and retain highly-qualified nurses The North Dakota Department of Commerce is now accepting applications for the Non-Resident Nursing Employment Recruitment Program (NNERP). Administered through Commerce, NNERP is a grant program designed to attract and retain highly-qualified nurses to North Dakota. The focus of the program is to assist in incentivizing the health care industry. “Incentivizing employment provides a valuable way for employees to make career decisions based on locating and residing to specific areas in North Dakota,” Kerri Kraft, program manager for the North Dakota Department of Commerce said. “This program is a great resource to help fill nursing positions in any North Dakota health care facility.” Under the program, licensed North Dakota health care facilities are eligible to receive up to $4,000

of matching funds for each nurse relocating to North Dakota. Employers are responsible for selecting and hiring the licensed nurse. Priority will be given to rural facilities, facilities who have never participated in the program, and the hiring of diverse nursing specialties such as: behavioral health nurses, geriatric health nurses, intensive care specialized nurses. To qualify for the program, employers must select a nurse who; is licensed to practice in the state of North Dakota, identifies primary residence in North Dakota, or bordering states of Montana, South Dakota or Minnesota; signs a written agreement to work at least four years in a licensed North Dakota health care facility; and is employed by the health care facility, not a contractor.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Sue Kana-Mackey of Langdon Presbyterian Church

“As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.” (Genesis 8:22) Those of us who live in the far North may not be overly thrilled at the first snowfall, but maybe we should think again. The first snowfall came to an Alaskan town in mid-October. At worship the next Sunday, the pastor asked how many were depressed by the season’s first snowfall. Immediately a young exchange student from Brazil wisecracked, “Not depressed - impressed.”

The congregation laughed. The splendor of snow covering Mother Earth can truly be impressive and a time for joy. Enjoy the dazzling beauty. Laugh with children tumbling in the snow. Smile at dogs leaping and barking as they race through this white miracle, snapping at the snowﬂakes. Cheerfully build a ﬁre, make a warm drink, call a friend, settle down with a book, think of God’s immeasurable gifts, and be grateful. Don’t be depressed. Be impressed.

Obituaries

Community

Mass of Christian Burial was held on Thursday, October 24, 2019, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Mary Ann (Tootie) Hall, 92, of Langdon, who passed away Sunday, October 20, 2019, at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital in Langdon. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery, Langdon. Mary Ann Wirt was born July 25, 1927, in Langdon, to Charles and Josephine Wirt. She grew up in Langdon, graduated from St. Alphonsus High School in 1943, and married Lloyd (Ted) Hall at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon on November 5, 1945. They made their home and farmed near Mt. Carmel Dam. They later moved to town where she worked at the

Langdon Elementary School for several years. In 2018, she moved to the Osnabrock Community Living Center, where she was lovingly cared for until her passing. She was known for her sense of humor, her practical jokes, and sarcastic oneliners. She was a devoted Catholic and volunteered her time in many ways at her church. Tootie’s greatest joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was an avid fan of countless sporting events spanning 65 years and loved spending time with the family at Hall’s Landing at Mt. Carmel Dam. She worked tirelessly to ensure there was an abundance of canned pickles, homemade buns, elephant ears, chocolate chip cookies, hand-knit afghans, dish cloths, and Christmas spritz cookies to be enjoyed by friends, family, and even strangers. Surviving Tootie are her children: Wayne (Heather) Hall of North Car-

olina, Robert (Janet) Hall of Langdon, Carrie Bachman of Langdon, Bruce (Katherine) Hall of Alexandria, Minn., Connie Stremick (Perry) of Langdon, Julie (Mark) Fisk of Langdon, and Lisa Niesen (Brian) of Minneapolis, Minn.; grandchildren: Andy, Ben, Davin, Rian, Josh, Ashley, Chris, Marty, Matt, Ryan, Jennie, Nick, Billy, Troy, Terra, Jill, Adam, Aron, Jordan, Brooke, Taylor, and Cody; numerous greatgrandchildren and her Osnabrock Community Living Center family. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Ted, son-in-law Vic Bachman, and her siblings. The family requests that memorials be directed to Osnabrock Community Living Center, 326 Rainbow Rd., Osnabrock, ND 58269. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will hold informational town hall meetings to discuss proposed adjusted hours of operation at the Antler, Carbury and Maida Ports of Entry (POEs). The Ports of Antler, Carbury and Maida were identified for modification of operational hours to realign resources to workload. This adjustment will allow CBP to maintain our inspectional and enforcement missions, and redirect resources to ports with greater commercial and passenger volumes. “Minimal traffic after 5 p.m., along with fiscal responsibility with taxpayer money were a determining factor for the adjustment of hours at Maida, Carbury and Antler,” said Seattle Field Office Director of Field Operations Adele Fasano. The current hours of operation for the Port of Antler are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m, which coincide with the hours of operation at the adjacent Canadian Port of Lyleton, Manitoba. Ef-

Brush with the Bunch

My grandfather was the local blacksmith In my hometown of Olga, ND. I heard so many stories about my grandpa and his blacksmith shop. This painting is a composite of several pictures and memories of his old blacksmith shed. My second painting I did was of my grandfather‘s shop. The group that introduced me to painting and the Brush Bunch thought I was “nuts“ to tackle such a project. It did turn out quite well, and I framed it like the outside of the shop. The painting that is shown is hanging in my son-in-law‘s home office in Paulsbo, Washington. When working on this picture I was thinking of the old shed after grandpa retired from blacksmithing. I just remembered him pumping the bellows to create flames to heat up some metal that he pounded into the shape he wanted; he puffed as much and as loud as the bellows. My idea for this painting was looking out of the window of his blacksmith shop with the hanging old horse hames along with the curry comb, spider webs, one of grandpa‘s famous horse shoes and the nesting sparrow. by Leo Beauchamp

This week’s Pigskin Winner is

Ray Stewart of Langdon

He won in tie with a score of 11 out of 14 and won $10 in Pigskin Bucks. Thank you to everyone who played PIGSKIN PICKS in the Cavalier County Republican.

In their final game of the regular season, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team took to the road to East Grand Forks, MN to play the Grafton Spoilers on Oct. 19. Wet, soft field in both Grafton and Langdon forced the game to be moved, and East Grand Forks was the closest venue that was playable, being they have artificial field turf. The Cards blew out to a 44-0 lead on their way to a 44-16 victory. With the win the Cardinals moved their record to 9-0, stretched their winning streak to 21 games, and won the Region 2A title outright for the third straight year. The Cardinals now move to the playoffs, where they play Northern Cass in the first round, to be held at 1:00 p.m. on Oct. 26 in Langdon. Grafton also moved on to the playoffs as the fourth seed out of Region 2A and will play Lisbon on the same day. After stopping Grafton on their opening drive, Langdon-EdmoreMunich went down the field and scored on a 13 yard touchdown run

by Simon Romfo to open the scoring. After another defensive stop, the Cards hit paydirt again on a 13 yard pass from Simon to Jackson Delvo to extend the lead to 14-0. Grafton would try some trickery on their next drive faking a punt in their own territory that the Cardinals stopped for a loss and later scoring on a nine yard Grant Romfo run. A bad snap Spoilers next punt again gave the Cards a short ﬁeld on which they scored on an 18 yard pass from Simon Romfo to Sean Gette to make it a 30-0 blowout at halftime. The second half saw two more Cardinals TD's, a Grant Romfo one yard run and another pass from Simon Romfo to Gette. Grafton would score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Langdon-Edmore-Munich's JV defense. Simon Romfo completed 14 passes in a row at one time in the game, and through for 250 yards and three touchdowns. Simon and Grant Romfo also combined for 175 yards rushing for the contest, while Delvo and Gette combined for 127 yards receiving.

Cardinals start a busy week with two match wins to push record to 28-3 By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer

After winning their first tournament of the season on October 19 in Carrington, the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals volleyball team had their busiest week of the season with four matches scheduled. They won the first two in that run, winning 3-0 over both Park River-Fordville-Lankin and New RockfordSheyenne on October 21-22 then played at Harvey-Wells County on October 24 and had a makeup match at home versus St. John on October 25. They have matches in the week ahead, October 29 at Rolette-Wolford and at home against Lakota on October 31. They also have another makeup match taking on Grafton on November 1. With the wins over the Aggies and Rockets, the Lady Cards now have a sparkling record of 28-3 and are unbeaten in Region 4 matches. Here is a recap of their last two regular season matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2525-25, Park River-Fordville-Lankin 12-11-15 The Cardinals played one of their best matches of the season when they traveled to take on the Aggies. The Cards had the good fortune of getting out to early leads in each of the two sets, going on an 11-2 run to begin set one and a 15-4 run to start set two. Great serving and defense, coupled with big hitting nights from Callie Ronningen and Lexi Olson,

paved the way to victory. Calyn Crockett also had a great night setting the volleyball as she had 31 assists. The Lady Cards served a very solid 89 percent in the match, which also produced 17 service aces, led by Olson with five and Kaylee Lowery with four. The defense came up with 79 digs on the night with five girls reaching double figures, led by Olson with 21, Ronningen 17, Kaitlynn Scherr with 13 and Crockett with 10.

their annual home match in Edmore versus New Rockford-Sheyenne on October 22. This was a special evening, as Edmore senior Callie Ronningen was honored before the match on reaching 2,000 kills and 2,000 digs for her high school volleyball career. In her last match in her home gym, Ronningen delighted the big crowd on hand with 16 kills, 12 digs, and she even had an assist on the last point scored of the match on a kill by Brooke Bakke. New Rockford-Sheyenne has a nice defensive team led by libero Cassie Longnecker, but the Lady Cards just kept hammering away, finishing with 46 kills as a team. The Cardinals would serve at an 85 percent success rate in this match and 10 service aces, with Morgan

Lady Cards win first tournament at Carrington Invitational By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals participated in an invitational tournament in Carrington on October 19. This tourney took the place of the Langdon Invite, which was cancelled due to a blizzard on October 12. It turned out to work just fine, as the Lady Cards went 6-0 in the tournament and ended winning their first tourney of the season by beating Rugby in the semifinals and coming back to beat Carrington 2-1 for the title. The Cardinals were down one set to none to Carrington and trailed by as much as 8-1 and 11-4 in set two before coming back to tie the best of three match that they would end up winning. It was a banner day for the Cards, as they had three players get double-doubles in the tournament: Calyn Crockett had 25 assists and 11 digs vs Strasburg - Zeeland and 26 assists and 10 digs vs Carrington, Callie Ronningen had 11 kills and 13 digs vs Rugby and 12 kills and 17 digs vs Carrington and Lexi Olson 10 kills and 13 digs vs

Rugby. The Lady Cards hope that their turnaround win versus Carrington in the championship match will bring them big momentum for the rest of the regular season and upcoming post-season.

Jakeâ€™s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Kynlee's Fight fundraiser coming to Lady Cards volleyball match on Nov. 1 We have plenty to get to this week, but nothing is bigger than an event at the Langdon High School gym on Nov. 1. Seven year old Kynlee Pengilly of Langdon was recently diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, and form of cancer that her doctors say is treatable, and we all pray that it is. A fundraiser for Kynlee and her family will be held on Nov. 1 during the Grafton at LangdonEdmore-Munich volleyball matches. Everyone is asked to wear their "Kynlee's Fight" shirts to the match, and the volleyball team will hold a 50/50 drawing and a cake walk for her during and the varsity match. It will also be Kynlee's eighth birthday, so the night could not be more special. If you can not make the match but like to donate, an account has been set up in Kynlee's name at Choice Bank in Langdon. Kynlee's parents are Cody and Jessica Pengilly of Langdon, and her grandparents are Marty and Sherry Pengilly

of Langdon, and Jeff and Tami Flink of Osnabrock, and of course Tami is also the Lady Cards assistant volleyball coach. Hopefully everyone can get out and support this event, and we hope that Kynlee keeps fighting and gets back to full good health soon. Our prayers go out to the whole family from everyone here at the Republican. Cardinals football team flies into the postseason playing well It postseason playoff time for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team. The Cards are flying high as they are on a 21 game winning going back to 2017, and they won the Region 2A title outright for the third straight season. The Cardinals are hoping for their third straight trip to the Dakota Bowl in Fargo and their second straight state title. That quest begins with an opening round game versus Northern Cass on Oct. 26. The Cardinals Sports Boosters will hold a tailgate party from 10:00 a.m. to 12 Noon, with the game beginning at 1:00 p.m. With the blizzard that came down to the area on Oct. 10-12, it did not look like the Cardinals field would be ready in Langdon in time for the postseason. But the best thing they did was not

touch the snow or the field, they just let Mother Nature do the job, which she did, melting all of the snow and making the field very playable for what good be three home playoff games if the Cards keep racking up the wins. We can tell you from past experience that the postseason for high school should be celebrated, as it's not an easy thing to do, and to win three straight Region 2A titles is almost unprecedented, and quite a feat. Enjoy the playoffs, and get out and show your support for all of area teams in the Big Dance. Ramberg wins Region title; State Cross County Meet in Minot Oct. 26 We will leave you this week by congratulating Langdon senior Elise Ramberg on winning the East Region Cross Country meet crown in Cooperstown on Oct. 19. She along with the Cardinals girls and boys cross country teams will now run in the State A & B Meet, to be held at Souris River Golf Course on Oct. 26. We hope for the best for Elise and all of the Cards runners, as both finished at the regional in their best positions in years. We will report on how things go the next time we visit. "See ya!" next week!

Five-day Minimum-temperature Forecast. Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Snow and cold across the Plains states likely will freeze the soybeans in some states and will impede maturity and drying across much of the region. A challenging soybean harvest this fall is raising many storage and drying questions, according to Ken Hellevang, an agricultural engineer with North Dakota State University Extension. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service on Oct. 6, the percentage of soybeans dropping leaves was 92% in North Dakota, 80% in Minnesota, 78% in South Dakota, 68% in Iowa, 69% in Michigan, 86% in Nebraska and 60% in Wisconsin. The percentage of beans harvested was less than 10% in those states. “The impending snow and cold across the Plains states likely will freeze the soybeans in some states and will impede maturity and drying across much of the region,” Hellevang says. “Soybeans that freeze before maturity may have a green color and will be smaller than mature beans after drying. “Also, ﬁeld drying may be slower,” he notes. “Beans may change color during dry-down and through time in storage. Green-colored beans will be discounted due to the required additional processing of the oil.” Shatter losses have been shown to increase signiﬁcantly when mature beans undergo multiple wetting and drying cycles. Moisture content can increase by several points with an overnight dew or

rain event, and it can decrease by several points during a day with low humidity and windy conditions. Soybean moisture variation may lead to storage losses. Operating an aeration fan will help move moisture from wet beans to drier beans, Hellevang says. Air going past wet beans picks up moisture, and that moisture will transfer to drier beans as the air goes past them. Moisture movement will be minimal without aeration airflow. Hellevang suggests initially running the fan longer than is required to cool the beans to even out the moisture content. The moisture will not be all the same, but it should become more uniform. Soybeans at 11% moisture have similar storage characteristics as wheat or corn at about 13.5% moisture, so 16% moisture soybeans might be expected to store the same way as about 18.5% moisture corn or wheat. Beans at 18% moisture would be similar to about 20.5% moisture corn. Drying Soybeans The amount of natural-air drying in bins that will occur in northern states in late October and early November is limited. The equilibrium moisture content of soybeans for air at 40 F and 70% relative humidity is about 13.5%, so drying soybeans with moisture contents above 13.5% would be expected with this air condition. However, the drying rate will be slow at typical in-bin drying airflow rates. An airflow rate of 1 cubic foot per minute per bushel (cfm/bu) is expected to dry 18% moisture soybeans in about 70 days. With an airflow rate of 1.5 cfm/bu, the drying time is reduced to about 47 days. The drying time for 16% moisture soybeans is slightly less - about 60 days at an airflow rate of 1 cfm/bu. Adding supplemental heat to raise the air temperature by 5 degrees will permit drying 16% soybeans to about 11% moisture in about 55 days. Increasing the airflow rate proportionally reduces the drying time but greatly increases the needed fan horsepower. For a soybean depth of 22 feet, each 1,000 bushels of soybeans will require about 1 horsepower of fan to achieve an airflow rate of 1 cfm/ bu. Achieving an airflow rate of 1.25 cfm/bu will require about 1.6 horsepower per 1,000 bushels, and an airflow rate of 1.5 cfm/bu will need about 2.5 horsepower per 1,000 bushels. The type of fan greatly affects the airflow provided per horsepower, so use a fan selection program. One is linked from the NDSU grain drying and storage website (https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/graindrying). The moisture-holding capacity of air is reduced at lower air temperatures, Hellevang says. As average air temperatures drop below 40 F, natural-air drying becomes inefficient and not economical. Adding heat causes the beans on the bottom of the bin to dry to a lower moisture

content and would increase drying speed only slightly. Hellevang recommends cooling the soybeans to between 20 and 30 F for winter storage and completing the natural-air drying in the spring. Start drying in the spring when outdoor temperatures are averaging about 40 F. Recommended Drying Temperatures Soybeans can be dried in a hightemperature dryer, but the dryer temperature needs to be limited to minimize damage to the beans. Refer to the dryer manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum drying temperature. Typically, the maximum drying temperature for nonfood soybeans is about 130 F. Even at that temperature, some skins and beans will be cracked. Keep the air relative humidity above 40% to minimize cracking of food grade or seed beans. Roughly, with each 20-degree increase in drying temperature, the air relative humidity is reduced to one-half, Hellevang notes. Air at 50 F and 80% relative humidity will have a relative humidity of about 40% when heated to 70 F. He recommends monitoring the soybean seeds coming from the dryer and managing the dryer temperature based on the amount of damage occurring. Food-grade soybeans and seed beans must not have damage to the seed coat, so natural-air or lowtemperature drying is the preferred drying method, Hellevang says. Seed beans should be dried at temperatures below 110 F. Reducing Fire Risks When Drying Hellevang also warns of the risk of fires when drying soybeans. Soybean pods and other trash can accumulate in the dryer and become combustible. To reduce the risk of fires: • Assure that trash does not accumulate in the dryer. • Make sure soybeans continue to flow in all sections of the dryer. • Monitor the dryer continuously. • Clean the dryer frequently to reduce the potential for debris to combust. Soybeans at 11% moisture have similar storage characteristics as wheat or corn at 13.5% moisture, so an allowable storage time chart for cereal grains can be used to estimate allowable storage times for soybeans. For example, soybeans at 18% moisture content would be similar to cereal grains at 20.5% moisture, so soybeans would be expected to have an allowable storage time of about 45 days at 50 F. The allowable storage time is reduced to about 20 days at 60 F and extended to about 85 days at 40 F.

Prairie Fare: Try Some Squash This Fall

Autumn makes me think about souAs I was picking up some dog treats, I stopped in my tracks when I saw the new flavor for fall. You probably guessed it: pumpkin spice dog treats. Seriously? Our three dogs certainly would eat these treats. However, they would eat almost anything that hovers near their mouths. Pumpkin pie spice remains an ongoing autumn food trend for humans, too. We can enjoy pumpkin spice coffee creamer, coffee drinks, yogurt, pancake mix, cookie straws, candy bars, granola bars, cereal, ice cream, flavored almonds, toaster pastries and dozens more seasonal products available in some locations. However, having some actual pumpkin with a sprinkle of your favorite spice would be better for your health than some of the highfat and high-calorie options enticing us in restaurants and grocery stores. Pumpkins, squash and gourds are part of the family known as

Cucurbita. In fact, pumpkins and gourds are types of squash. Technically, pumpkins and squash are fruits, according to botanists. They are the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants, botanists say. However, we in nutrition consider pumpkins and squash to be vegetables. Are you confused yet? Regardless of how you categorize them, enjoy more pumpkin and squash. Most of us do not eat enough dark orange and gold vegetables. Pumpkin and squash are good sources of fiber to help our digestion. These orange-fleshed fruits of the plant are rich in pigments (called carotenoids) that our body converts to vitamin A. We need vitamin A for healthy eyes and skin. Pumpkin and winter squash have a long shelf life. Try a variety of winter squash, including butternut, buttercup, acorn, hubbard or spaghetti squash, with these tips: • Store it correctly. Store pumpkin and squash in a cool, dry place. Do not wash it before storing because that can shorten its storage life. When stored correctly, it can last several months. • Bake it. To bake a pumpkin or squash, rinse it with running water and scrub with a vegetable brush

if needed. Poke holes in the skin with a knife. Place it in a baking pan and bake at 350 F until tender. Bake small squash/pumpkin for about 45 minutes or large squash for about 90 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds, then mash, season as desired and serve. • Microwave it. Rinse the squash and cut it into chunks. Place in a microwave-safe container and cook on high for about seven minutes until tender. Note: Raw squash and pumpkin are very hard; be cautious when cutting it to avoid injuring yourself. • Freeze it. Cooked, mashed squash can be preserved by freezing but not by home-canning. Chunks of cooked squash can be preserved by pressure canning. Visit https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/food and follow the directions for safe food preservation. Try some new recipes. Have you ever made pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin fruit leather? How about pumpkin or squash soup or pumpkin bread pudding? See https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food for recipes to try. Click on “Recipes,” then “Breads” or “Snacks, Appetizers and Beverages.” Don’t toss out the seeds. Roast

squash or pumpkin seeds. After baking or cooking a squash or pumpkin, remove the seeds and rinse them with water and pat dry with a paper towel. Preheat oven to 300 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy cleanup). Place the seeds in a bowl, add a small amount of oil and stir. Sprinkle with seasoning salt, Cajun spice or your favorite spice. Bake on the baking sheet for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the seeds are golden brown. What recipes do you think of when you hear the word pumpkin or squash? Are you thinking of pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread? Pumpkin and squash can be used in many ways on our menu. Visit https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/food for a variety of pumpkin and squash recipes. Here’s a fiber-rich recipe with an ethnic flair. Don’t be afraid to try something a little unique now and then. Pumpkin Chickpea Curry 2 Tbsp. canola oil 1 red onion, diced 1/2 pumpkin or squash, chopped into chunks 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 small piece of fresh ginger, minced

2 Tbsp. yellow curry powder 5 ounces spinach 1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1 (13-ounce) can low-fat coconut milk Lemon juice, if desired Salt, pepper to taste Topping (optional): 4 Tbsp. cashew nuts 1 to 2 Tbsp. sesame seeds Heat the canola oil in a pan or wok. Saute the pumpkin and onion for about three minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, ginger and curry powder and cook for about one to two minutes longer. Then add coconut milk; bring to a boil and simmer 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add spinach and chickpeas and simmer for five minutes until the spinach has wilted. Add a little water, as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if you like. Serve with rice (or other grain of your choice) and top with cashews and sesame seeds. Makes five (1-cup) servings.

Langdon Long Ago

By Rita Maisel

Plan now to attend Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative’s

nd ANNUAL MEETING Thursday, Nov. 7, 2019 NDSU Research Center Langdon, ND Registration 3:30 p.m. Business Meeting 4:00 p.m.

Determined to Survive During and through the aftermath of our recent 2019 blizzard, both local conversations and those on regional talk shows concerning storms and farming have begun with questions on whether 2019 would qualify as the worst farming year ever due to weather-related conditions. It might rank close to the top, but the general opinion of agricultural experts has long been to consider 1936 as the all-time worst

year. A suggestion from a person born after 1936 that I write about that year was an interesting challenge and could take weeks to do properly. After all, who did I know that might remember the actual events? Reading the 1936 bound volume of the Cavalier County Republican would be mind-boggling and could uncover things beyond my ability to share with readers. In the back of my mind was a poem about the Depression Era which became a motto for many families in our area: “Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do or Do without…” When you ask family or friends how things are going. many conversations begin with the weather. The same might be true when writing about a difficult subject in history or today. The period from 1929 to 1940 had more drought years than at any other time for North Dakota farmers. Keep that in mind because it was related to many of the problems faced by people in North Dakota during that time period. In addition, North Dakota has always considered 1936 to have been the year when both the lowest and highest temperatures were recorded. The Langdon Centennial Book lists the coldest temperature as –51 on February 16, 1936, and the highest temperature ever recorded as 112 degrees on July 17, 1936. There is a memory that those original figures were recorded at the Experimental Station by the late Vic Sturlaugson. Elwyn Robinson’s “History of North Dakota” cites Parshall, ND, with 60 degrees below zero on February 15, 1936, as the coldest and 121 above at Steele, ND, on July 6, 1936, as the warmest. North Dakota held the records for mean temperature until Alaska was admitted as a state. Robinson ends his weather information with “the wind blows much of the time,” another factor most of us are familiar with. Other reasons we remember 1936 as a year filled with memorable events are because of the many deaths around that time and possibly because there was a baby boom noted that year by school enrollments at a later date. The two ends of that spectrum were linked in several local memories. At our closest neighbors on the farm, my youngest cousin for the next couple of years was born, and by summer his grandmother died. Long-time neighbors in Langdon had a new baby early in the year and lost a two-year-old brother who I was told would have been in my grade if he had lived. A cousin I never met was born and died in the spring. My father and I were both hospitalized at Detroit Lakes with severe ear infections. The story I was told was that I cried a lot, and my father asked if there wasn’t something they could do. A young doctor, who later became an ear specialist, suggested an operation (today that can be done on a routine office visit) which might ease the pain, but the survival rate was very low, and if I lived I would be deaf. My parents signed. My father died April 7 on his 30th birthday from an illness which might have been cured by penicillin, sulfa or common antibiotics. Hearing aides might still be in my future. In Langdon a young lawyer working as assistant states attorney came down with what was diagnosed as pneumonia. Langdon also lacked what today we consider modern medicines, and Harry Stewart died April 24, also in his 30s. Twelve days later a cute little bundle of joy arrived at the Stewart household who grew up knowing the stories but never met her father in person. Both my mother and Winnie Stewart found jobs working at the Cavalier County Courthouse, where one of their co-workers was Lucille Marcotte, also a recent widow with three small children. Years later co-workers told me stories of those three and others whose determination shaped the rest of their lives and the lives of their children. Fifty years later, Veda Howatt invited me to visit her one afternoon when the centennial book projects were just beginning. The goal of the visit was so she could tell me stories I could type up and give her to share with her children so they could make corrections or delete anything personal before sharing what was left with the centennial book committees. One special part of that visit was a picture Veda had of her with her six children taken after the death of her husband, Ray. I thought Ray had also died in 1936, but my memory is not always accurate as the stories printed in the Langdon and Maida/Mt. Carmel books list that date as 1938. Her husband was also a farmer and

was 38 when he died. They lived on a farm that she told me had been homesteaded by his grandfather in the earliest of pioneer days. Like many farms in our area, they had poor crops during the drought years, and one day “government agents” came to take away their farm. I wanted to include her story this week because I learned recently that more than 12,000 farm families in North Dakota lost their farms at that time. With angry mobs of people at the capitol at Bismarck on a daily basis, a moratorium law had been passed. If you got to the right person in time, some farms were saved. Veda mentioned contacting Governor Langer for help. Along with help from a brother-in-law and nephew, this feisty young mother held on to the farm, and today the sixth generation is probably struggling to get the last of their 2019 crop off the land. A sad footnote to this story is that with the problems of 2019 farming, some current farms are facing losing some of their land as well. How could I possibly write a story about those difficult years without mentioning the dust, the grasshoppers, the quarrels with mills in Minneapolis and St. Paul over a wheat embargo or the emaciated herds of cattle driven to rail points and shipped to Armour at Fargo, Chicago stockyards or other points along the line? The government offered a small amount in exchange for the cattle, but there are local stories about farmers whose “profit” from the payment was less than the cost of shipping. Some of these stories are in the centennial book collections as special stories written by Ed Franta, Lillian Soderstrom and Joyce Forkner for the Langdon book; Chuck Stabo and Mrs. Swanlaw for the Milton readers; Bud Murie for the centennial newspaper edition; and available in personal memoirs of other local residents. While some of these stories may look similar, in reading them again this week I found the different viewpoints well worth your time. Lillian wrote of the small nephew who died as a result of dust drifting around him as he slept in his cradle. Robinson’s book tells of the cattle dying in the fields, some by starvation, but many because the dust filled air got into their lungs, and they could not breathe. Someone else wrote about dust burying fences and fence posts, small animals and even a granary. The story told to me by the late Minnie Klein may be in one of the centennial books, but the short version is her first husband and his parents died from remnants of a poison used in the garden that remained in a dish used to cook their breakfast. Groups of men, and possibly women, were hired to mix a poison mash to kill the grasshoppers and paid by the government for this work until the water in the Langdon reservoir supply ran so low the workers were not allowed to use that source. Reading Langdon School Board minutes long ago, the records showed the staff receiving cuts in pay, lower each year as the poverty level of the district diminished. Because trees suffered from the lack of rain and the strong winds, firewood was not readily available, so many families burned coal with lignitethe cheapest coal available. It came to Langdon by train and families could pick up the bits that fell off the cars along the tracks. West of Bismarck, families in the coal regions were allowed to “mine” coal on school land for emergency purposes. I remember a week or two without coal to heat the Langdon school and before school was dismissed wearing our coats and mittens in class. Sampling these stories is both sad and inspiring. Someone mentioned recently that today’s farmers, with all their problems, need inspiration from that earlier generation to meet today’s challenges. On the plus side, we do have better equipment, better skills in dealing with weather catastrophes, better medicines and advanced communication skills. Many of the trees planted by the CCC boys are still standing as are some of the schools, bridges, grandstands and parks that program added. Bit coins and plastic money can be as fleeting and disastrous as the stock market crash and the long ago bank closings. Politicians today may seem louder than the ones years ago, but North Dakota apparently had four governors in 1936 – one served at different times before running for the Senate. In other words, there are a lot of similarities today, and it still takes some very determined people to survive.
