Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 3-9

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week™ for 99 years, has announced “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety™” as the theme for Fire Prevention Week, October 3-9, 2021. From beeps to chirps, this year’s campaign works to better educate the public about the sounds smoke alarms make, what those sounds mean, and how to respond to them.

“Smoke alarms have played a leading role in reducing fire death rates over the past 40 years, but we still have more work to do in maximizing their effectiveness,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA vice president of Outreach and Advocacy.

According to the latest NFPA “Smoke Alarms in the U.S.” report, working smoke alarms in the home reduce the risk of dying in a reported fire by more than half (55 percent). However, almost three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms (41 percent) or smoke alarms that failed to operate (16 percent); missing or non-functional power sources, including missing or disconnected batteries, dead batteries, and disconnected hardwired alarms or other alternate current (AC) power issues, are the most common factors when smoke alarms fail to operate.

“These conferences are a great learning experience,” said Hoffarth. “You get to visit with people with the same issues.

Tina Fisk is the new NDLC Executive Board President, and I’m super-excited to be working with her. I have always wished I could have had the opportunity to work with her. She’s a great mentor.”

The North Dakota League of Cities originally started in Grand Forks, ND, in the early 1900s as the League of North Dakota Municipalities. Today, the League continues to encourage dynamic local leadership by providing educational opportunities and services to city officials, connecting resources with the needs of its members, and representing the interests of municipalities in state and federal public policy discussions.

ONE SHOWING NIGHTLY

The 81st annual National Newspaper Week, a celebration of the impact newspapers have in their communities, will be observed Oct. 3-9. This year’s theme is “Community Forum.”

The annual effort is sponsored

by Newspaper Association Managers, Inc., a consortium of North American trade associations representing the industry.

This year’s theme is inspired by The Relevance Project. When it comes to saving local newspapers, the solutions won’t be found in web metrics, ad rates, or shrinking news holes. The solution, seemingly simple yet terrifying complicated, is for newspapers to reconnect with the people they’re supposed to be serving.

That’s the purpose of The Relevance Project, a national effort intended to make local journalism so relevant to people’s lives that papers will once again become an essential purchase.

The Newspaper Association Managers, a coalition of trade associations serving daily and weekly newspapers and new websites in North America, is coordinating the project, which was launched during National Newspaper Week last year. The focus on local newspapers was prompted in part by frustration that industry leaders were too focused on the major players – the papers run by corporations and big chains. That approach overlooks the more than 8,600 local newspapers covering the parades, the school board meetings, and the soccer

games of small-town America and Canada. The problems those papers face mirror those of the bigger players: declining revenues and rising costs that sometimes force closings. For independent local papers with shoestring budgets, the financial burdens fall proportionately harder: cutting a position from a four-person newsroom, for example, is a lot more difficult than cutting one from a newsroom of 40.

Newspaper association managers across the United States and Canada think the public is paying so much attention to media companies such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Sinclair [Broadcasting] that they’re forgetting that there are vital, committed newspapers in their local communities. As a result, small papers with few resources have been left to fend for themselves as the ground shifts under them. The Relevance Project grew out of that frustration, with the Newspaper Association Managers collectively retaining rebranding expert Andy Cunningham of the Cunningham Collective to help diagnose problems and develop solutions. Working with papers from around the country, Cunningham’s research took stock of all the industry’s warts, from public mistrust to falling page counts, rising subscription costs and poorly functioning websites. From the newspaper association managers’ perspective, the results were a much-

needed slap in the face – newspapers weren’t doing the right things by their readers.

The Relevance Project is working to reassert newspapers’ relevance to their communities by building on the credibility they already have.

It aims to remind people that newspapers serve as a trusted community forum and as a resource. A newspaper’s strength and future rely on its local community; fortifying that relationship will fortify the paper. To do that, the project is coordinating efforts and supplying resources for newspapers across the continent working to find new ways of building reader trust and community engagement.

The key to the project’s success will be its focus on concrete tools that even papers with limited resources can adopt.

The project’s superpower is the thousands of local newspapers who may choose to participate. With potentially 8,600 local daily and weekly newspapers participating, there’s a huge opportunity to reinvent the community forum, to reengage communities to collectively address issues, and to make a substantial impact both for the readers and the newspapers.

Report From the Legislature

Rep. David Monson R – District 10 The Interim Redistricting Committee on which I serve has been meeting for about a month now. We would have normally been meeting much earlier in the summer, but the census numbers were delayed causing us to have to meet much later than usual and be more rushed. We are finalizing the plans for the new district map of the state as of September 29th.That is not to say there can’t be a few more tweaks since the next step is to go to the Legislative Management Committee. They will vote to have it put into a bill draft and sent to the full legislature for the special legislative session in November. The House and Senate will each have hearings and must approve the bill before it goes to the governor. The House and Senate could make some amendments to tweak it, but no major changes are expected at that point.

So, what is the redistricting all about? Basically, every ten years after the census is completed, the legislature meets to draw new district lines with each district having equal, or nearly equal, numbers of people. The idea is that if the districts are very close to the same population, the principal of one person one vote is upheld. Without redistricting like what is being done now, districts that grew over the past ten years like in the western part of the state would not have equal representation in Bismarck.

Since ND’s population grew during the last ten years from 672,591 to 779,094, the ideal population of each district will increase by nearly 3,000 people. We have 47 legislative districts now, and the committee decided to remain at 47 for the next ten years. We could have chosen any number from 40 districts to 54 districts as allowed by the constitution. The smaller the number of districts the larger the area in a district would be and the more people in each district. The larger the number the more compact the districts would be. When we chose 47 as the number, we divided the state’s population by 47 making the ideal district size 16,576. Some people said we should make more districts so we wouldn’t have to add so much territory to each existing district.

We looked at that, but even going to 49 districts only reduced the ideal population of each district by about 600 people.

Unfortunately, most districts in the eastern 2/3 of the state lost population. The real problem the districts in the eastern part of the state face, however, is that we need to add a lot of population to each district just because the state grew so much in total population. Where do you find 3,500 people close to you when every neighboring district has to find 3,500 people too? It’s not hard to figure out that if a district gives 3,500 people to each of their neighbors, there will not be enough population to keep that district.

Thus, our districts in the east are getting much bigger in area or going away completely. Their district number will be given to one in Cass County, which grew in population, or the oil country in western ND. So, what is happening in our corner of the state? Well, District 9 for the past 30 years has been Rolette

County. This time with the need to add about 3,500 people, they needed the population of northern Towner County plus most of Cavalier County to get their number within 5% of the ideal number of 16,576 people. District 10 was now short about 7,000 people; the amount they had to add due to the state’s population growth plus the 3,500 they gave to make District 9 whole. So, they couldn’t look to the north since that is Canada, and they couldn’t go east since that is Minnesota. The only place to find 7,000 people was to look to the south and east in Walsh County which was District 19. District 20 south of Grand Forks was short too, so they got most of the rest of District 19. You can see suddenly we have lost a district in the northeastern part of ND. We could have either District 10 or 19 as our number. We took number 19 since that would mean we could forego another election in 2 years since elections are held every 4 years normally. If we had taken number 10 as our district number, we would have had 3 elections in a span of 4 years; 2020, 2022, and 2024. By taking the number 19 we will have an election in 2022 and again in 2026.

I should mention that there are provisions for subdistricts. District 9 and District 4 are likely to have subdistricts as the Indian populations in those two districts which contain Fort Berthold and Turtle Mountain Reservations are large enough to trigger the need for subdistricts for the 2 House seats. The Senator would be elected at large by all voters in the districts. Most people do not favor subdistricts, but it is believed the courts will likely force the issue of subdistricts in those two areas.

One last item to mention is that sometimes a new district will end up short or long on the number of representatives. Seldom do you end up with 2 representatives and one senator when a neighboring district is combined with another. The new District 19 will have Senator Myrdal as the senator, and I will be the only representative. There will be one open seat for another representative, meaning we will have an election in 2022 as I stated earlier. It looks like District 20 will have 4 representatives and 2 senators which means an election will be held there to whittle that number down to 2 representatives and 1 senator.

I will try to keep you posted in the next weeks as we finalize the redistricting and several other issues which may be brought forward in the special session. Other interim committees are meeting during the next several months as well. I am on 5 interim committees, so there is no shortage of legislative activity happening now.

clinic will now be moving back to static covid testing. Tests will be offered Monday through Wednesday, from 1-2 p.m. Third doses or boosters are now being offered for those with compromised immune systems.

The conditional burn ban was again reviewed; commissioners agreed the conditional burn ban is no longer necessary and will not be reviewed further unless weather conditions change drastically.

On September 21, commissioners met for their bi-monthly meeting. Terry Johnston, road supervisor, met with the commissioners to brief them of current and future bids, acquisition of a plow for a new truck, and operators for snowplows. The County Road 13 project had a pay estimate processed again with the actual amount being $1,107,000, roughly $33,000

under the bid amount. A motion was made by Moser to approve the purchase of a snow plow, totaling $17,050. Motion was seconded by Zeis; motion passed.

Lesley Lubenow, NDSU Extension District director, met with the comissioners to discuss a mill levy vote in hopes to gain financial support for the program in the region. Cavalier County would cover 50% of the salary of the employee(s) if the proposed mill levy vote passes.

Nick Moser motioned to approve the hiring of a new Extension agent, Greg Goodman seconded, and motion was carried.

Policy Manual updates were up for approval. Nick Moser motioned to approve changes to the policies, Dave Zeis seconded, and motion was carried.

City Commissioners meeting held

By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met Monday, September 27, at City Hall. The street department is busy street sweeping and mowing. The fire department received pallets of canned water from a grant.

This water is good for when fire fighters are on calls and will be dispersed to other fire and rescue departments. The Langdon Activity Center floor is finished! They are still waiting for the scoreboard and curtains that will hopefully arrive by the end of October. The Sheriff's department is busy but doing well with an officer off in Bismarck for training. Auditor RoxAnne Hoffarth was voted to be on the board of League of Cities. Hoffarth has been in Bismarck doing Vanguard training for property taxes.

Unfinished business became quite heated while talking about the harassment charge filed against City Commissioner Susan Fay Crockett. Lawrence Henry interviewed employees, Chelsea Graber (director of LAC), and Susan Fay Crockett. Crockett had some questions regarding why the other individuals mentioned in the report were not interviewed.

Crockett also stated, referring to comments in the report, that the gym project is a committee project and a group project.

Crockett claims the comments in the report are inaccurate and that she has text messages debunking comments. Mayor Jerry Nowatzki stated that the report looks like it’s a hostile work environment. The employees of the LAC should be able to

run the facility; commissioners should not be concerned about the day-to-day activities.

Information on the report was private to the board. Individuals mentioned in the report received a copy that was meant to be confidential. These individuals mentioned in the report were not the main concerns in the report, so they were not reached out to for comment. A retaliation phone call was made to an employee of the Activity Center household from an individual mentioned in the report who should not have had access to this report.

Several board members were upset about this and stated it was unacceptable. A motion to proceed for a scheduled hearing to removed Crockett from the city commission board pursuant to Chapter 44-08-23 was denied by majority vote. States Attorney Quentin Wenzel stated that with the harassment charge, a change does have to happen, and the work environment cannot remain the same.

After much discussion back and forth, Nowatzki agreed to meeting with both Crockett and Chelsea Graber separately then together after the meeting to hopefully resolve the issues at hand.

Pete Klingbeil requested to purchase a lot of land by land he already owns. The commissioners would like to keep that lot to push snow to in the winter. They agreed not to sell the lot but to allow Pete to use the area. A draft of the agreement will be presented at a future meeting which concluded this meeting. The next scheduled meeting will be October 11 at 6:00 p.m.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Rock on North Dakota Do you remember Rockin’ the Hills or Party in the Pasture? These were music festivals held in North Dakota some years ago that became very popular but only for a few short years. Rockin’ the Hills was near Bottineau and Party in the Pasture was near Beulah. It appeared the organizers were trying to fashion both of these festivals after We Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn. or better yet, Woodstock in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Most of the performers were regional bands, some of which were quite good and created their own following. However, it was the big names that brought the crowds. When you want big names, you have to pay big money.

The Rendezvous Region Music Fest in Langdon found that out.

When that event started in 1996, it brought some interesting talent to town. There was Sha Na Na, a ‘50s rock group that even dressed the part. Johnny Rivers played Langdon - so did Bobby Vee. Although those names are no longer big on the record charts, they drew pretty good crowds. They then began to talk about bringing the Beach Boys, which didn’t materialize because booking that band was simply too expensive. Since that time, the Music Fest has continued, but the names of the talent began to dwindle except for one local band that was called Free Beer with Additives at the time.

Their rendition of Love Shack by the B52s was brilliant, and every year, it brought the house down.

Rockin’ the Hills did get some big name talent, but you have to wonder why it didn’t continue. A lot of popular Canadian bands played Rockin' the Hills probably because the border is only 10 miles away from Bottineau. Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman of the Guess Who, April Wine, the Headpins and Grand Funk Railroad were just a few of the groups that played Bottineau.

Rockin’ the Hills was often advertised on 92 CITI-FM in Winnipeg and CKX-FM in Brandon, so it might as well have been Manitoba.

Lots of other big name bands have played in North Dakota over

the years with most of them getting booked into the Fargodome or the North Dakota State Fair. Probably the biggest name to ever come to North Dakota was Paul McCartney of the Beatles fame who played the Fargodome in 2016. Other big names have played there, but nothing like McCartney. They included Chicago, Sammy Hagar, Kiss, and AC/DC. The State Fair has also brought out the big guns: Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Foreigner, Jefferson Starship, and the Greg Kihn Band. The best memory of a concert at the State Fair has to be back in the ‘80s when Huey Lewis and the News played Minot. It was so hot during that concert that fair personnel opened up fire hoses on the crowd to cool it off. Another time when Bryan Adams was at the State Fair, Sun 102 in Estevan actually introduced him to the crowd, and when he got on stage he said “Hello Minnow” instead of Minot. It’s probably the first time in his career that he got booed.

Elton John, ZZ Top, Rush, Eddie Money, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Carole King, Pat Benatar, Gordon Lightfoot, the Beach Boys, Paul Anka, Fergie, and many others have played concerts in North Dakota.

We can’t forget about those private venues that sometimes get popular bands. Maybe the owner knows somebody, maybe the band happens to be passing through, maybe a band member grew up here.

Whatever it is, this happens more often than you think. ZZ Top and Randy Bachman have both played in bars in Fargo, Loverboy played at the State Line Club near Williston, Kiss played the Jamestown Civic Center, and there was a popular Minneapolis band called Dare Force that actually played an outdoor concert in the Linton park.

But music concerts are just like sports. It seems every year the cost for tickets increases substantially and fewer people can afford to see the top talent. It just depends on what you want to pay to see your favorite star.

Big name country stars, big name Gospel stars, big name pop stars and we’ve even had some big name opera stars perform here, as well as symphonies like the Montreal Symphony Orchestra playing the Chester Fritz in Grand Forks.

It’s all about money and popularity. That’s how the stars thrive, and the hype sells tickets.

Griswold v. Connecticut and the right to privacy The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut established the right to privacy as a fixed star in our constitutional constellation and, in the process, guaranteed married couples access to contraceptive devices. Griswold falls into the category of a “great” case because of its enormous influence in expanding the rights and liberties of Americans.

Griswold involved an old Connecticut law that prohibited married couples from using contraception. The law reflected a legislative preference for procreational, rather than recreational, sexual intercourse. It presents a case in which the court “finds” or discovers a constitutional right, in much the same way that the justices have discerned additional unenumerated rights such as the right to marriage, the right to travel, the right of parents to raise their children in accordance with their values and, among others, the freedom of association.

All of these rights are best understood as rights that are derived from rights and liberties articulated or enumerated in the Constitution.

The discovery of a right, more than 150 years or so after the writing and adoption of the Constitution, is bound to be controversial since critics will accuse the court of inventing or creating a right not grounded within the four corner of the Constitution.

The court cannot create new rights any more than it can create new powers, of course, for such authority is reserved to the Amendatory Clause in Article V, but it does possess authority to ascertain and announce the presence in the Constitution of a right that has existed but never before asserted. There is

Dear Editor: Remember how our forefathers felt about taxation without representation. Imagine how they would feel about negating a recent election and the eradication a legislative district without a vote of the people.

Doesn’t sound North Dakota nice to me. This could be the reality in the end if the North Dakota Redistricting committee has their way. A past senator in the 26th district, who happens to be the operations manager of a local radio station, and the minority leader in the North Dakota House of Representatives were having a conversation recently on the radio talking about this issue. These two individuals are a part of a political party that removed God from their national platform in 2012. They are not a fan of mine and have spent many sessions on the radio discussing what a detriment to society that I am. The minority leader stated he has been working on a plan for over

a thin line between the legitimate discovery, as opposed to an illegitimate creation of a constitutional right, and the difference lies in the court’s reasoning.

The court’s 7-2 opinion, written by Justice William O. Douglas, whose 36 years on the High Bench remains the record for longevity, was hailed by millions of Americans who valued their right to privacy, particularly when it came to matters of sexual intimacy and reproductive rights. The opinion, however, was roundly criticized by various scholars and commentators, who claimed Douglas had simply “invented” the right from whole cloth. Where in the Constitution did he locate the right?

Justice Douglas described the right of privacy as a “penumbral,” that is, an implied right, derived from several provisions in the Bill of Rights. He found a zone of privacy in the First Amendment’s freedom of religion and speech, each of which protects freedom to think one’s thoughts within a realm that government may not invade, and in the freedom of assembly, which necessarily implies a degree of privacy to determine with whom one might associate.

Douglas also discovered the roots of privacy in the Third Amendment’s prohibition on quartering of troops in a citizen’s home, an infamous British practice that Congress moved swiftly to remedy in drafting the Bill of Rights, and in the Fifth Amendment, which protects the right against self-incrimination.

The right against self-incrimination, a hard-won right by sturdy Englishmen in the 17th Century, protects an individual’s privacy in refusing to aid the state’s prosecution of him.

Readers will almost certainly agree with Douglas that the Fourth Amendment, which provides protection against “unreasonable” search and seizure, includes a right to privacy in one’s home, what the founders understood as a “man’s castle,” off limits to the government without a proper search warrant.

Justice Douglas invoked the Ninth Amendment to protect the “sacred precincts of the marital bedroom.” This constitutional provision declares, “The enumeration

a year. This two step plan includes dissolving the 26th district and then creating a legislative district containing all of Richland county. They even have a Senate candidate in mind that is already fundraising. They were both excited that this person would beat the both the present senator from the 25th district and the 26th district in the 2022 election. They were beyond excited as they were discussing their plan to gerrymander their way back to controlling the southeast corner of the state with the help of North Dakota Legislators who other KFGO personalities have referred to as “reasonable republicans”. I am guessing reasonable republicans are those legislators that pledge their conservative values during election time and then vote with their socialist leaning comrades during the legislative session. In the 25th district, hard work and good legislating has kept the conservatives in power through two tough elections. In the last election, the 26th district republican conservatives took all spots in the house and senate, maybe for the first time since 1889. This has caused great dismay and heartache for the radio host from the 8:30am timeslot in the Fargo market. He has stated this many times on his radio show. His last name and mine are the same. He says our dads were first cousins. He says we are not related. And now he is not even hiding in the dark about the partisan plan to gerrymander district 25, negate the last election affecting the district 26 legislators, and then dissolve 26th district. Then they all had a big chuckle out of it.

Might I remind these two that I serve at the pleasure of the people, not at the will of reasonable republicans, bloviating talk show hosts, or minority leaders in the house.

Article 1, section 2 of the North Dakota Constitution, the declaration of rights, states, “All political power is inherent in the people…” I am asking you to contact Legislative Management and the redistricting committee to voice your opinion on the gerrymandering of the 25th district, the dissolving of the 26th district, and the negating of an election.

in this Constitution of certain rights shall not deny or disparage other rights retained by the people.”

Douglas’ assumption that the clause means what it says and says what it means concluded that, indeed, we the people enjoy rights beyond those enumerated in the Constitution. Douglas reasoned that married couples’ expectation of privacy is older than the Constitution itself and thus surely must be embodied in the Ninth Amendment. Justice John Marshall Harlan, who wrote a concurring opinion, thought this clause sufficient in itself to protect the use of contraceptive devices.

Finally, Justice Douglas located a zone of privacy in the liberty provision of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. Douglas reasoned that “liberty” was a legal concept broad enough to permit married couples to determine, as a matter of privacy, whether they would employ contraceptive methods.

Since Griswold was decided, a majority of the Supreme Court Justices have rightly embraced a general right to privacy, as have most scholars and commentators, despite their somewhat initial reluctance to support the court’s discovery of a right that seems inextricably linked to Americans’ conceptions of freedom and liberty.

Like all other constitutional provisions protecting Americans’ rights and liberties, the assertion of a right to privacy, predictably, has led to deep-seated controversies over its scope and application ever since.

This fundamental right has provided a foundation, for example, for reproductive rights, a subject never far removed from the front pages of our nation’s newspapers. We turn to that next week.

Jason Heitkamp North Dakota Senator District 26, Wyndmere Dear Editor: Special Session Should Focus on Working Families Priorities With the upcoming special session, the Legislature and Governor must consider assisting working families with wrap-around benefits to fully address the workforce availability problem. With additional funds coming from the Federal government from the pandemic, we need to think strategically about making the most of these dollars to truly help families facing the challenge of affordable child-care.

From the recent report of Kids Count North Dakota, in 2020, families on average paid between $7,600 to $9,500 for child-care services. To put that in different terms, that is around the same amount for in-state tuition at NDSU or UND. Although the Building Trades Unions represent construction; affordable, quality child-care would produce workforce availability across all industries. Health care, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, IT, construction; whatever industry comes to mind, I have yet to figure out one that would not benefit from having this issue addressed.

I understand there may be a reluctance to expand the state government’s role in providing child-care to its citizens, but how many private businesses have $76 million available, and possibly more, to address such a wide-spread, persistent issue?

Additionally, if not addressed, will continue to be a barrier to employment for every industry in the state.

This is a top priority, with both business and labor agreeing this is a major issue. Let’s finally put forth a tangible, workforce availability solution that will be a betterment to working families while benefiting businesses at the same time. Let’s fund affordable, quality child-care for all North Dakotans.

tree issued trademark Spotlight on Economics: Agrifood trade and climate change NDSU-developed The North Dakota State Univer- in Rogów, Poland. Seed was acquired

by Dragan Miljkovic, professor, NDSU Agribusiness and Applied Economics

Climate change is a phenomenon affecting many regions of the world, causing global warming and changes in precipitations patterns.

As argued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change has strong impacts on incomes and economic activities, although heterogeneous across countries. Among economic activities, agriculture is one of the most negatively affected by climate change but also a main driver of changes in climate.

In a recent journal article, my co-authors and I address this very important issue of the role of international agricultural and food trade (agri-food trade for short) in helping to alleviate the issues arising due to climate change.

Changes in climate, both shortrun shocks (i.e., weather variations) and long-run changes, have the potential to impact economic activities. Climate changes alter productivity, thus production costs, as well as resource availability and market prices, with consequences on welfare, poverty and food security.

Changes in climate and agriculture are tied up together. While the agricultural sector is one of the most hit by changes in climate, it is responsible for great environmental impacts. Agricultural activities (e.g., intensive livestock, fertilization, land use and management) are important contributors of greenhouse gas emissions with related consequences in terms of climate changes.

On the demand side, a growing population and changes in diet are causing an increase in demand for food and livestock feed. Consequently, emissions from agriculture are expected to increase. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) states that the challenge for the agricultural sector is to achieve an equilibrium between adaptation to climate changes and sustainable intensification of agriculture.

On the supply side, climate changes may have substantial impacts on world production growth.

Climate is an input for agricultural production. Thus, changes in climate may affect prices and supply of agricultural outputs.

Changes in climate have both direct and indirect impacts on crop

yields. Increases in temperature tend to be detrimental for crop yields, with low-latitude countries being the most negatively affected.

Indeed, low latitude countries may have less potential to adapt; for instance, they are generally characterized by warmer climate and may have difficulties in producing crops that perform better in climates still warmer.

The indirect effects of changes in climate on crop yields are mainly related to increases in the cost of inputs and of factor productivity, but effects due to land use changes should not be neglected.

Climate changes also affect the livestock sector: impacts are evident, for instance, on milk production, disease and parasites, feed intake and feed supplies.

Overall, the impacts of climate changes on the demand-supply balances in the agricultural sector are related both to direct losses (e.g., crop failures) and several indirect effects triggered by market reactions to events occurring in other producing regions of the world.

Climate changes are a central issue for agriculture. Some effects, already observed, are likely to intensify in the future, contributing to declines in agricultural production, fluctuations in world market prices and growing levels of food insecurity. These effects also are likely to be detrimental in some countries and positive in others with potential impacts on their economic development.

According to the FAO, agriculture in low latitude countries suffering from poverty and food insecurity could be negatively affected.

High latitude countries, often developed economies, characterized by temperate climates, could observe positive effects on agriculture with warmer weather. Uneven impacts of climate changes across countries and consequent changes in food availability and access, as well as in comparative advantages, are likely to affect international trade patterns.

By allowing the reallocation of food from surplus to deficit regions, agricultural trade has the potential to lower inequalities between regions with different levels of economic development, helping countries adapt to climate change.

It is of utmost importance to find adaptation and mitigation solutions to climate change in agriculture and food systems to face and combat

food insecurity.

These solutions may involve actions to reduce net emissions from agriculture and food production, for instance by modifying management practices (e.g., manure management, use of fossil fuel and nitrogen fertilizer), increasing carbon sequestration (e.g., avoiding deforestation or land conversion) or producing substitutes for emissionintensive products (e.g., bioenergy, wood).

For these reasons, in recent years, the relationships between agriculture, trade, global value chains and climate change have been at the forefront in trade and development policy agendas of different agreements. In fact, supporting developing countries to promote sustainable development and the provision of agri-food produce is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Framework Convention on Climate Change and an aim of the Paris Agreement of the United Nations. The return of the United States in the Paris Agreement should strengthen the global cooperation towards the achievement of these goals to intensify climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Future research should be devoted to a better understanding of the effects of climate change on the global agri-food sector. In fact, as weather and climate conditions change, firms, communities and countries need to develop new adaptation strategies to the climate regimes. Understanding the relationships between trade and climate change is one of the efforts towards the promotion of sustainable development.

sity (NDSU)-developed KoolKat Katsura Tree was issued a trademark in September 2021. The tree was introduced in 2020 by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and the NDSU Research Foundation (NDSURF) and is the 60th new plant selection developed by the NDSU Woody Plant Improvement Program led by Todd West, NDSU Department of Plant Sciences assistant dean/professor.

A registered trademark designates a specific registered name to the plant selection and ties ownership of the registered name to NDSU, which is important for marketing and licensing NDSU releases to the commercial nursery trade. Commercial nurseries must be licensed with the NDSU Research Foundation to use NDSU’s name with the release (a specific genetic clone). This is required to legally sell the named release and also to collect royalties.

“It can take up to one year from the time the trademark application is submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to be officially registered,” says West. “There are many rules involved with plant names, which limit the availability of words and phrases that can be used.

If the USPTO reviewer finds that the name will cause confusion in the trade, the name can be rejected and sent back for revision.”

“This review process is as stressful and can be as time consuming as getting a research manuscript published,” says West.

Out of 60 woody plant releases, NDSU has 41 active trademarks with the USPTO. KoolKat is a single plant seedling selection originating from a population of Cercidiphyllum japonicum acquired from the Lesny Zaklad Doswiadgzalny W. Rogowie Arboretum

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Half Your Plate I will never forget one fall day when I was eating a meal with people I love. The interesting part is that I don’t remember the conversation or where we were even at for the meal. I simply remember my plate of food. It was absolutely beautiful.

It was something that looked like a random work of art. The part that struck me as most important is that it was mostly fruits and vegetables.

The colors were vibrant, the flavors were delicious, and I felt healthy and light when I was done eating it all.

MyPlate suggests that we have half of our plate be fruits and vegetables every meal. The nutritional impact of fruits and vegetables plays a huge part in the health and stability of our body systems. It is important for us to get as many as we can throughout the day. Making half our plate fruits and vegetables, along with adding them as snacks throughout the day, is a strategy to help us do that.

As the garden season comes to an end (even though we are still having beautiful weather), it’s important to remember that we need to continue the healthy eating a garden bounty provides. Focusing on whole fruits and varying our vegetables help provide the maximum nutrition our body needs. Diets high in fruits and vegetables have higher concentration of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals such as antioxidants. All of these nutrients contribute to keeping our body in optimal working condition.

Some reasons to keep half of our plates full of fruits and vegetables: 1. Reduced chance of heart disease and stroke.

2. Reduced chance of cancer.

3. Lower blood pressure.

4. Positive effect on stabilizing blood sugar.

5. Promotes weight loss or maintaining healthy weight.

6. Boosts immune system.

Ways to get more fruits and vegetables into your diet: 1. Plan your meals around fruits and vegetables.

2. Use fruits and vegetables as your snacks throughout the day.

3. Vary your fruits and vegetables for optimal benefit by thinking of the rainbow to choose fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors.

Other tips: 1. Eat mostly fresh, whole fruits and vegetables for optimal nutrition.

2. Eat frozen fruits and vegetables without added sugar and salt for the next best option.

3. Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season and on sale to help budget.

4. Use MyPlate and NDSU Extension as resources for your half plate needs.

MyPlate is a great resource for you to find information on healthy eating. There are explanations of the nutrients each food group provides, recommended servings of each group, ways to budget for healthy eating, recipes for all food groups, and apps and other resources that could help you along your journey.

Visit https://www.myplate.gov for more information.

There are a multitude of recipes on the MyPlate website, some even with a source from Extension of-

in 1999 and designated as TS9946. The trees in this population were part of the NDSU Woody Plant Statewide Cooperative Evaluation Program that ran from 1987 to 2007. The KoolKat selection has been evaluated for 20 years.

KoolKat is a cold hardy tree that has survived without damage in USDA climatic zone 3a at temperatures as low as -37 degrees Fahrenheit. This single plant selection is unique in that it has early fall dormancy compared to the species, which aids in increasing the winter hardiness. All other traits are similar to the species, with cordate (heart) shaped leaves emerging reddish-purple in the spring and changing to blue-green as they mature for summer. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow to apricot in color depending on the year.

KoolKat is dioecious and is a female selection, possessing only female flowers. Mature height will be 35 to 40 feet with a canopy width of 20 to 25 feet.

About the NDSU Woody Plant Improvement Program The NDSU Woody Plant Improvement Program has served the Northern Great Plains for more than 65 years, beginning germplasm trial evaluations in 1954. In 1974, NDSU purchased 80-acres near Absaraka, North Dakota, and the NDSU Horticulture Research Farm was established.

NDSU woody plant introductions are currently being propagated for sale by commercial wholesale firms in Australia, Canada, England and 35 nurseries in 14 of the United States. This project has introduced 60 woody plants for production and sale with increased disease tolerance and winter hardiness for landscapes.

Richard Nelson

A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 10, 2021, at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Fairdale for Richard Nelson, 81, of Devils Lake and formerly of Milton, who passed away September 25, 2021, due to a tragic car accident. Inurnment will be at Highland Cemetery, rural Nekoma.

Richard Duane Nelson was born December 23, 1939, to Arnold J. and Doris B. (Anderson) Nelson at Langdon. He was a very unassuming, shy, and humble man with a razor-sharp intellect and a memory to match. He was a man of many talents and skills, and these were on

full display in all those many years of farming. Oh yes, he did indeed belong to many different organizations and served his community, as well as his country in the Army, but what made him stand out was his most giving, generous, kind, and loving heart. Whenever you needed anyone to help out, there was Richard - a gentle soul and a caring man.

And to us that is what we will always hold close to our hearts. He was preceded in death by his loving parents, his wonderful aunts and uncles and cousins. Richard departed this world and is now in the loving hands of our Lord and leaving behind cherished cousins and his wonderful friends. We would like to acknowledge his dearest and best friend, Marilyn Sandbeck, who passed at the same time as him. These past years for him were,

without a doubt, some of the best years in his life. We are so thankful and grateful that the Lord blessed Richard with such a gracious and lovely person to share this part of his life with. Richard passed away September 25, 2021.

He is survived by his brother, Kenneth (Diane) Nelson of Langdon, their daughter, Danna (Dominic) Rademacher and their children Nelson and Millie of West Fargo; and sister Audrey (Jay) Holter of Barnesville, Minn., and their children, James Holter of Fargo, Amber Holter of Fargo, and Amber (Nick) Walters of Fargo.

Interment will be at 11:00 a.m. on October 9 at Soper Cemetery, rural Fairdale. The family extends an invitation to the Alan Ormiston farm from 2-4 p.m. on October 9 for an informal gathering of fellowship, sharing, and remembrance of Susan.

Susan Kim was born April 7, 1960, to Alan and Jo Ormiston, the oldest of 4 children. She attended school in Langdon, graduating with honors in the Class of 1978.

After earning a BSN degree from UND, she began work as a registered nurse in Fargo before relocating to Lakewood, Colo. She was a caregiver in every sense of the word, working in health care for over 40 years. She loved her family deeply and enjoyed her newest title as “Grandma/ Bestemor.” She enjoyed traveling, football, hiking ,cooking, and checking items off her bucket list. Sue was an avid reader and enjoyed learning. This passion for trivia is evidenced in the many books, quotes, music, articles, and clippings she gathered and learned from. She enjoyed shopping and pursuing any item someone was in

need of, including creative gifts for family and friends, themed silent auction baskets to support her children’s performing arts programs, and decorations to make her family house a home. Her alternative to the “tables” fundraiser in Mayville; she created themed Christmas trees which could be found in each room at her home. As each new holiday season approached, she would develop themes and decorations for each of these trees. Music was a gift that she graciously shared with so many through the years as an accompanist, vocalist, and flutist. She enjoyed listening to many styles of music and played her piano often.

Many guests to the Jaramillo home can recall not only the sound of her playing songs but also the feeling of cheer and welcome that resonated through her music. Her last flight to North Dakota - this August - allowed her the opportunity to accompany her brother as they performed the song “Thankful” at the closing of the Nekoma Presbyterian Church.

Susan is survived by her loving husband, Tom, as well as her children: Andy (Christine), Aaron, and Amy, and her granddaughter, Eowyn Jaramillo, her father, Alan Ormiston, and her siblings, Doug (Diane) Ormiston, Jeff (Lisa) Ormiston, Barb (Brian) Kram, and her inlaws Vicki (Chuck) Bustos, Tim, Terry, Tracy (Lydia) and Ted Jaramillo.

She is reunited with her mother, Elvina “Jo” Ormiston as well as Charlene and Louis Jaramillo.

Pieceful Borders 2021 guild quilt show

The Pieceful Borders Quilt Guild will be hosting a quilt show at 7:00 pm, Thursday, October 14, 2021, at the United Lutheran Church in Cavalier. Admission is $ 5.00 per person. Coffee and bars will be served after the show. Quilted smalls (makers’ choice) will be given as door prizes. All are welcome.

With active guild members from at least 6 communities in northeastern ND and northwestern MN, we have a diverse, fun, active group.

Covid-19 may have slowed our guild meeting attendance but has not affected our at-home creativity.

Each guild member has been asked to show at least 3 of their quilts. If the quilts shown at each show-andtell portion of our monthly meeting are indicative of the quilts to be presented at the show, the Pieceful Borders 2021 Quilt Show will be worth

attending.

New members are always welcome. At our July meeting, we were entertained by a quilter aspiring to become a National Quilt Show judge. During our August meeting, we met a talented local scrap quilter. As a guild, we have challenged ourselves to make and donate placemats for the Cavalier Christmas 2021 meals-on-wheels program. Many guild members also quilt with our local church groups and the local Quilts-of-Valor Program. These quilted items are in turn donated to local camps, veterans, veteran hospitals, and International Outreach Groups. Collectively, we are always looking forward to the next project.

Mark your calendars and plan to attend - Pieceful Borders 2021 Guild Quilt Show on October 14!

ECO-Ed Day

The Cavalier County Soil Conservation District held their annual ECO-ED Day at the Mt. Carmel Dam on Sept. 22 for the 7th and 8th grade students from Langdon Area School, Munich School, and St. Alphonsus School.

NDDoH releases statement on FDA approval, CDC recommendation of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine booster doses The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the use of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for a single booster dose, to be administered at least six months after completion of the primary series for certain individuals.

Yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finalized COVID-19 booster dose recommendations for people who previously received Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The following individuals are recommended to receive a booster dose: • people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series, • people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series, • people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months

after their Pfizer primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks, and • people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks.

These recommendations are ONLY for those who originally received the two-dose series of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. Booster doses might be recommended in the future for those who received COVID-19 vaccines manufactured

by Moderna or Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). There is not yet data available to recommend mixing vaccine brands or to recommend additional doses of Moderna or Janssen vaccine.

This recommendation does not mean that COVID-19 vaccines are not working. Hospitalization rates are ~10-22 times higher in unvaccinated adults compared to vaccinated adults. Vaccinated people are

five times less likely to get sick from COVID-19, compared to those who are unvaccinated. Vaccine effectiveness has declined against infection (having COVID-19 symptoms) but is still highly protective against hospitalization and death. Effectiveness against hospitalization has declined for those 65 and older.

Booster doses may not be available until later next week. Healthcare providers will need to educate staff and update protocols based on this new recommendation. The NDDoH has planned with longterm care facilities to ensure they have access to booster doses in the coming weeks. Please. stay tuned for more information. As a reminder, people may be vaccinated against influenza at the same time as receiving a COVID-19 booster.

Information on COVID-19 vaccine providers and clinics near you can be found on the NDDoH COVID Vaccine Locator page. Individuals can also contact the NDDoH public health hotline at 1-866-2072880 for questions related to COVID-19 and for assistance in scheduling a vaccine appointment.

Cavalier County youth to acknowledge National 4-H Week Oct. 3-9 The anticipation is building for National 4-H Week, during which millions of youth, parents, volunteers, and alumni across the country will be acknowledging everything 4-H. Cavalier County 4-H will observe National 4-H Week this year by showcasing through social media posts the incredible experiences that 4-H offers young people and will highlight the remarkable 4-H youth in our community who work each day to make a positive impact on those around them.

The theme of this year’s National 4-H Week is Find Your Spark, highlighting how 4-H offers opportunity for youth to find their passion and explore learning about that passion and what lies within it through hands-on learning experiences. The positive environment provided by 4-H mentors ensures that kids in every county in the country, from urban neighborhoods to suburban schoolyards to rural farming communities, are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles and are empowered with the skills to lead in life and career.

“4-H has given me opportunities to achieve goals, meet new people that have the same interests, and have fun while doing it,” said Maggie Iverson, Cavalier County 4-H member.

For more than a century, the North Dakota 4-H Youth Development program has provided exciting ways for youth to pledge their Head, Heart, Hands, and Health towards making a positive difference in their community. Cavalier County offers opportunities to learn and grow through activities and

Who’s New

events such as Consumer Decision Making, Communication Arts, Achievement Day, Summer MiniCamps, Project Expo, service learning opportunities, monthly 4-H club meetings, and much more. Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent finds from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are nearly four times more likely to contribute to their communities and two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors. They strive to develop and encourage hard work and dedication of our youth. The youth today will determine the leaders of the future, not only for North Dakota but for the nation and the world.

In Cavalier County, more than 72 4-H youth and 15 volunteers from the community are involved in 4 H. The experiences for the youth of Cavalier County are made possible through the amazing dedication of the vol-

unteers and the generous donations from businesses and individuals in the county. Thank you to those who have made 4-H in Cavalier County possible! If you would like to join in supporting 4-H as either a volunteer or through donations, please contact the NDSU Extension office. We would love to have you as part of the organization in any capacity.

About 4-H: 4-H, the nation’s largest youth development and empowerment organization, cultivates confident kids who tackle the issues that matter most in their communities right now. In the United States, 4-H programs empower six million young people through the 110 land-grant universities and Cooperative Extension in more than 3,000 local offices serving every county and parish in the country.

Outside the United States, independent, country-led 4-H organizations empower one million young people in more than 50 countries. National 4-H Council is the private sector, non-profit partner of the Cooperative Extension System and 4-H National Headquarters located at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

FOOTBALL Cards build big lead, hold on to beat H-WC 37-30

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals continued the toughest part of their regular season schedule when they hosted Harvey-Wells County on Sept. 24. The Cards got all they wanted from the Hornets, but after building a 28-8 halftime lead, they hung on and won 37-30. The win puts the Cardinals overall record at 6-0 on the season and 4-0 in Northeast Region Class B 11-Man games. LangdonEdmore-Munich also has pushed their winning streak to 44 games.

The second-ranked Cards played at third-ranked Hillsboro-Central Valley on Oct. 1 then have their last two games of the regular season at home, Oct. 8 versus Northern Cass and Oct. 15 against Carrington.

In their game with the Hornets, Langdon-Edmore-Munich got off to their usual great start, as they scored on their first drive of the game on a three-yard touchdown run from Jack Romfo and also got the 2-point conversion on a pass from Rayce Worley to Carter Tetrault to make the score 8-0. But, on their second drive of the game, Harvey-Wells County countered with a TD of their own on a 38-yard touchdown pass from Issac Friese

to Maddon Thorson. Carson Mertz ran in the 2-pointer to tie the game at eight after the first quarter.

A very key play in the contest came in the second quarter after Worley scored a touchdown to give the Cards back the lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Cardinals kicker Alex Gellner put a pooch kick high in the air where it dropped at the 30yard line. The Hornets treated it as if it were a punt, but it was a live football recovered by Langdon-Edmore-Munich. Off the turnover, the Cards punched in another TD on a six-yard run by Tetrault. He would also sprint into the end zone from 54 yards out just before halftime which was followed by a Worley to Mason Romfo 2-point conversion catch on a tackle-eligible play to make the score 28-8 at the half.

It looked as if the Cardinals would run away with the game in the second half after Jack Romfo sacked Friese in the end zone for a safety to make it 30-8. But the teams would trade touchdowns in late third and early fourth quarters to set the stage for a big Harvey-Wells County comeback. A long pass of 64 yards from Friese to Alex Erickson set up a nine-yard run for a score

by Mertz which was followed by a 65-TD pass from Friese to Mertz to make the score 37-30.

The Cardinals nearly ran out the clock in the fourth but were forced to throw on a third down and 11 from midfield when H-WC picked off a pass from Worley to set up a last-ditch scoring drive. They got it down to the Cardinals 15-yard line, but a holding penalty pushed them back to the 30 which was followed by a Tetrault interception of Friese with 10 seconds left to clinch the

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

1,000th kill

Morgan Freije got her 1,000th kill on Sept. 14 against Rolette. She was recognized for reaching this milestone on Sept. 23 at a home match.

Congratulations, Morgan, for this incredible accomplishment!

New play clocks great new addition at Langdon football field As we go this week, we give a shout out to everyone that either sponsored or donated their time to putting new play clocks at the Langdon football field. Normally the play clock in Langdon has been run but the back judge of whoever the officiating crew would be, as they would always put up a wave for the last five seconds. Now, with digital play clocks installed in each end zone, players, coaches officials and fans can see how much time is left before the snap of the football. These play clocks are things that have already been installed on several fields in the region, and its great to see them finally come to Langdon.

And for those who go bananas every time something is improved athletically at the Langdon schools and/or facilities, fear not. This project was 100 percent privately funded. Thanks to Bachman-Goodman Ag Services and Horizon Financial Bank for being the main sponsors, and to MVM Contracting out of Fargo for the doing boring and pipe work to get the wires and hookups under the track. Also thanks goes out to Cavalier Rural Electric and

United Communications for labor and wiring the clocks. We also want to say great job to Steph Fetsch, who ran the timer for the play clocks for the first time ever when the Cardinals hosted Harvey-Wells County on Sept. 24. The clocks were very useful on their maiden voyage, as the game came right down to the wire. So great work by all, and you can see the play clocks for yourself, as the Cards have the last two games on their regular season schedule at home, starting with Northern Cass on Oct. 8.

Girls Golf season comes to an end; Fall meeting of the Langdon Country Club Oct. 5 The Langdon Country Club is beginning to wind down its season, now that we have hit October. Groundskeeper Kevin "Cocoa" Beauchamp has put out a date of Oct. 15 when the club will close for the year, but with a very nice forecast at least through the first half of October, that is subject to change.

The fall meeting of the club will take place this coming Tuesday, on Oct. 5. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. That night will also be the last night for food on Tuesday stags at the clubhouse, with cook your own steak or burgers along with crock pot sides served. And if you haven't already, payback slips for Tuesday Men's League golf are at the clubhouse to be picked up.

Congratulations also go out to the Langdon-Edmore-Munich girls

golf team on making it to the State B Tournament, held in Carrington Sept. 27-28. Arianna Haraseth came in 28th place to lead the Cards, while all of their seniors finished their careers with personal best scores. Addi Brown from North Border also came in 28th overall.

You can find pictures and results for the tourney in this week's Republican.

New grandstand coming to American Legion Field We will leave you with more exciting sports news in Langdon.

The Langdon Baseball Boosters have began construction of a brand new grand stand at American Legion Field, which will be ready for the 2022 baseball season. You may have already seen the demolition of the old bleachers, which have been around since 1998. This new grand stand will something never seen before, and plenty of room and not a bad seat in the house. The boosters are still looking for donations for this project, and any donation 100 dollars and above will get your or someones name on the construction plaque and board. For more information, contact Langdon Baseball Booster president Darin Romfo at 701-370-5019, or board member Tim Kingzett at 701-370-0980. This will be another fantastic addition to the Langdon and Cavalier County community.

"See ya!" next week!

Brush with the Bunch

Pumpkin Fest 2021! is already in the past. I wasn‘t here for the festivities which I hear were quite well attended. My pictures, so far, are very limited. The picture shown was taken in front of the Gorge Gallery, home of the Chamber and the Brush Bunch headquarters. Pictured is Bill Zeller guiding the weighing of the pumpkin grown and entered

by Kent Carrier, one of our local gardeners, who won top honors with his 1,173 pound pumpkin. Looking on to make sure all is on the up and up are two of our Brush Bunch members, Laurel Brusseau and Liann Zeller. Partially hidden is the sign advertising the rhubarb floats on sale inside the gallery, made and sold by Leona Schneider with Laurel Brusseau at the till. Reports were they had a busy day; proceeds from the sales are going toward a projector for the newly remodeled Walla Theater. Second place winner in the contest was another local gardener, Greg Porter, who‘s pumpkin weight in at 1,008 pounds, and the third prize went to Ron Beneda of Park River who had a pumpkin weigh in at 880 pounds. Also present for the day were trailer loads of pumpkins of all sizes and shapes. The Farmers Market, miniature train rides for the kids, vendors where you could buy any and all sorts of produce from pumpkin muffins and breads, jams and jellies, even ice cream were available. You could get your picture taken while eating an energy bar that is produced here in Walhalla. I guess I missed a great fun-packed day. Remember, Pumpkin Fest 2022, last weekend in September! God willing, I‘ll be there, how about you? A Capsule Sermon from Laurel: What you believe yourself to be, you are. Have a great day, and God Bless!

Dakota Gardener: Now is the time to kill weeds in lawns

By Tom Kalb, Horticulturist NDSU Extension

Killing weeds with poisonous herbicides requires us to balance the benefits and risks.

Everybody wants an attractive and weed-free lawn, but nobody wants to expose themselves to toxic chemicals.

Start by having realistic expectations about your lawn. It is not natural and practically impossible to have a lawn without any weeds.

Next, use poisonous herbicides only when they are necessary and effective.

That said, now is the most effec-

tive time to kill weeds in lawns.

Timing is critical. The secret to killing perennial weeds such as dandelions and thistles is to get the herbicide down into their roots.

The root systems of some weeds are extensive. One Canadian thistle plant, for example, can grow 300 feet of roots in one summer!

It is a challenge to get herbicide into a vast network of roots, and that is why now is the best time.

The nights are getting longer and the weeds in your lawn know winter is coming. In response, these weeds are beginning to channel their sugars down into their roots to store them over winter.

That is perfect for us. If we spray a weed with a systemic herbicide in fall, the weed will accidentally channel it along with its sugars down into its roots. Gotcha!

A spray done once per year— now in fall—can control most broadleaf weeds and minimize our exposure to poisonous chemicals.

For most situations this seems like a good balance of benefits and risks.

Another sensible strategy is to spot-spray in weedy areas rather than spraying the entire yard. This will reduce the exposure of us and our landscape plants to herbicides.

Trimec formulations are commonly available and work well.

These products contain a blend of 2,4-D; mecoprop (MCPP) and di-

camba. Some of these formulations contain quinclorac as well.

Follow the instructions on the label. Mix at the proper rate. Avoid using higher than recommended rates because this may harm nearby landscape plants.

Wear protective clothing when spraying poisonous chemicals.

Protect yourself by wearing a longsleeved shirt, long pants, socks, and non-absorbent gloves and shoes.

Additional recommendations may be listed on the label.

To prevent herbicide drift, do not spray when the temperature is in the high 80s or higher. Spray when winds are calm and use heavy droplets rather than fine mists.

Keep children and pets off the lawn at least until the herbicide dries. The label may list longer waiting times.

Other cultural practices can reduce our need for herbicides. Mow your turf tall, let grass clippings fall to the soil and fertilize your lawn.

These practices can create a thick turf that smothers emerging weeds.

If you are going to spray herbicides to kill weeds in your lawn, make it count.

Do it safely. Do it now.

By Rita Maisel

First the Tractors…..

When experts read the story last week, the result was a copy of the picture mentioned which actually shows five (not two) people and the first combine purchased by Wenzel family members (not a steam engine and bundle wagon). The date of September 1937 was correct since that was the last time Greatuncle Dan Kaercher visited from his home in Berkley, CA. Better eyes than mine spotted steel wheels still on the pictured tractor pulling the combine (not yet self-propelled).

I stand corrected. I have not yet found the date that the rubber tires arrived, but the steel rim which formed our sand box was brought to town on May 28, 1938. What is interesting about that is the fact that a wagon with wheels was not purchased until 2 or 3 years later, and the first load it appears to have carried was a bag of sand for the sand box.

In the process several old harvesting pictures surfaced, and when there is room, some may be available for printing in the paper. In the meantime, the Case tractor I remember as yellow has been identi-

Cavalier County Republican

fied by people with better memories as blue and a 1929 model “L”. That model had four hp (horsepower) and was very popular with local farmers until 1940. A blurb from the collector series of miniature tractors says more than 31,000 were sold in the 1929-1940 period of time. Local collectors may have a miniature version on their shelves or possibly in their collection of “tractor calendars” given out by dealerships.

The one my uncle purchased came from the Farmers Union at Langdon which sold equipment at that time. The manager was Alex Haaven, and the employee who delivered the tractor was Arnold Lundeby, who spent much of his life living and farming at Osnabrock. The cost would purchase very little on today’s implement market.

Now the Scrapbooks….

My aunt, Pearl, was one of many local people who kept or compiled scrapbooks. The first ones held valentines, Christmas or birthday cards, and bright colored pictures from magazine covers or calendars.

In the late 1930s she made some of these for my brother and me to look at and would “read” them to us in place of the small books children now have. However, her main scrapbook had newspaper clippings and pictures of people in the White House during her lifetime as well as birth announcements, some wed-

Langdon Long Ago

ding invitations, and other memorabilia. If we wanted to know about specific happenings, her scrap book plus her sister’s diaries had all the pertinent facts.

Pearl died in October of 1970, and her sister, Adeline, took over making her own flour and water paste and putting magazines and old catalogs clippings she wanted to save: recipes from Marilyn Haggarty, Frantacisms columns, births, deaths, reports of local people who had received traffic citations (relatives found this an invasion of privacy), wrestling scores (several nephews were on the wrestling team), and news of people or places she had known. So, when one of her Langdon friends mentioned saving Langdon Long Ago columns that mentioned people she had known, I was not too surprised. Neighbors Evelyn Overby and Esther Gendreau had already loaned me some of their scrapbooks for background on various events.

Then two of the long-time members of the Langdon Masonic group mentioned some scrapbooks Duane Field had done as an officer in that group. Being the Masons were a fraternal organization, I never saw these books, but it made sense that their history should be preserved.

Then one day a year or so after Duane died, I got a call from Donald Pankratz who lived west of me asking me to come over and see what he had picked up at a garage sale held at the quonset on Highway 1. What he had were scrapbooks of Langdon Long Ago stories along with Re-

member When pictures beautifully organized and compiled by Duane Field. Don wanted me to take the volumes he had which might have been three in number and urged me to “go right now and see if there are more left”. At least one or two more were there, and I picked them up but was told there had been more.

The person in charge did not know who had picked them up. There is a vague memory of writing about this at the time, and later I began an index based on the scrapbooks which turned out to have things with slightly different dates than bound volumes of the newspapers.

Both sources had missing issues, but since stories filed on computer had failed repeatedly, I was glad to find copies of missing information.

Combining those sources has become a never-ending job with many stories missing.

Fast forward to Friday eveningI got a phone call from a neighbor that another volume of stories saved in scrapbook format was at her house and would I come and pick it up. Even before it was opened, I knew the book was one of Duane’s original scrapbooks, all done neatly in heavy padded volumes. I had help getting it to the car and did not have help getting it into the house.

The books are very heavy! To date I have been reading the stories from 2006 to 2008 in the car. Eventually all the volumes will be stored at the library.

The person who has had this volume was Judy LaPorte, who lives with her sister Marlene. She

remembered getting it from a quonset owned by the Field family. Another sister in Osnabrock happened to know my neighbor, Marilyn Fetsch, so the book came to Langdon through that connection. There may be other volumes that were obtained from that long ago sale that readers would like to donate to the library as well. In the meantime, I continue to work on making an index so we at least have a listing to try to find a story people may remember.

One of the problems with locating an individual story in decades of writing is that only the ones with clever titles stick out! Requests come for “The Boys in Blue” (Civil War Veterans), “Riding the Goat” (long ago lodge initiations), “Belle Smart” (who dated all the eligible and some of the not so eligible men in very early Langdon and raised the reading public by leaps and bounds). Belle was written by a young male reporter of that day. “The Ring of the Blacksmith’s Hammer” was another favorite by families of blacksmiths, but some of those were too early for Duane’s scrapbooks. A favorite of my own from the early 1990s were the jokes the CCC boys put in their camp newsletters as sent in by recruits from this area.

Special thanks to Judy for adding her book to the collection and to all the readers who have enjoyed reading the stories down through the years.

Whenever I see carrots, I think of a friend of mine. I was a graduate student and she was a technician.

Back in those days, you could smoke cigarettes in the hallways and offices on campus. During breaks, she would smoke cigarettes, and we’d visit in the hallway. I think I breathed a fair amount of secondhand smoke.

Fortunately for her (and me), she decided to quit smoking. She ate a carrot every time she felt the urge to smoke. Eating carrots helped keep her hands and mouth busy. I think we nicknamed her “Bugs Bunny” because she often had a carrot with the

green tops attached.

I estimate she ate at least 10 fullsize carrots at work and probably more at home. I certainly promote eating more vegetables, but this was carrot-overload.

Before too long, we all noticed the palms of her hands were orange.

Soon, her face and arms took on an orange-colored hue.

The condition is called “carotenemia,” a skin discoloration that can develop after a few weeks of robust eating of beta-carotene rich foods.

Beta-carotene is the pigment found in carrots, pumpkin, squash, sweet potatoes and other vegetables and fruits.

Sometimes infants can turn an orangey color if they are fed too much beta-carotene foods.

The good news is that carotenemia is not dangerous and will resolve itself when “Bugs Bunny” switches to eating a more balanced, varied diet.

My friend switched to chewing gum instead of chomping on carrots, and her skin returned to its usual color.

Carrots are nutritious and popular. They are the sixth most popularly consumed vegetable in the U.S. according to the Agricultural Marketing Service. One medium-sized carrot (about 7 inches) has 35 calories and 2 grams (g) fiber, including the type of fiber that may help maintain a healthful blood cholesterol level.

Carrots are notable sources of beta-carotene, which the human body converts to vitamin A, which promotes healthy skin and eyes. Vitamin A helps prevent a condition called “night blindness.” If you experience difficulty seeing at night, discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Enjoying plenty of beta-carotenerich foods certainly won’t hurt you. Most of us shortchange ourselves on dark-orange fruits and vegetables.

I find harvesting carrots to be a fun activity, especially if I plant multicolored carrots. What’s under that foliage? Purple and red carrots are high in anthocyanin, a pigment that acts as a cancer-fighting antioxidant.

After harvesting, cut about half of an inch from the top of each carrot, removing the greens. Growing up, we raised a lot of carrots and simply removed the excess soil, trimmed the tops and kept them bagged in an extra refrigerator. We had fresh carrots available until springtime.

If you raise small amounts of carrots, cut off the tops, rinse and air-dry them for storage in an airtight plastic bag in the refrigerator to maintain proper humidity. If the carrots are not in air-tight bags, they may go limp in the refrigera-

tor. Carrots will maintain their freshness longer at or around 32 F. Carrots are readily available in grocery stores all year. “Baby cut carrots” were introduced in 1986 and result from trimming larger carrots into uniform small carrots. We see them on appetizer trays and in lunch boxes.

We often call the bags of small carrots “baby carrots,” but technically, “baby carrots” are immature carrots.

Carrots can be cooked in the oven, microwave, on the stove top or in a slow cooker.

Cut larger carrots into strips or smaller coin shapes depending on the cooking plan. Toss carrots in olive oil, salt, pepper and other seasonings for added flavor. Garlic, balsamic vinegar, butter, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, lemon zest, chives, green onions and chili powder are good accompaniments to carrots.

Carrots can be preserved by freezing, pressure-canning, pickling or dehydrating.

See www.ag.ndsu.edu/food and check out the “Food Preservation” information. Follow current pressurecanning procedures in the NDSU Extension publication “Home Canning Low-acid Vegetables” (FN173). See “Freezing Vegetables” (FN187) and “Making Pickled Products” (FN189) for additional information about preserving carrots.

How about trying a fall-inspired dinner featuring roasted carrots, meatloaf and baked potatoes? This recipe features “baby carrots,” and now you know the rest of the story.
