November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month Choosing a Memory Care Facility A memory care, or Alzheimer’s care, facility is a specially designed senior care facility that houses and provides roundthe-clock care for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other kinds of dementia. These facilities are designed with safety as a priority but also aim to improve residents’ quality of life. If you are looking for a facility for a loved one, here are some tips about what to expect during your search. SAFETY IS KEY Memory care facilities are designed with unique layouts to help reduce confusion. Many are designed with a concept called “human-centered design,” which “considers how the interior space of a structure affects a person’s thinking, behavior, and emotions,” according to APlaceforMom.com. This means the architecture of the building is designed to address issues such as wandering. In addition, themed wings of the building might help patients associate the certain imagery with a certain place to help find their way, and design elements are meant to increase sensory stimulation, according to DesignKit.org. Some facilities are secured or locked, meaning residents’ movements are restricted in order to keep them safe, and there may be sensors built in throughout the community to help keep track of patients’ movements and ensure safety. Memory care
facilities also typically have a low staff-to-resident ratio to allow staff to devote maximum attention to residents’ safety and needs. SERVICES The staff are specially trained to work with dementia patients, and the facilities typically offer memory-enhancing therapies and activities as well as services such as medication manage-

ment, laundry, transportation, healthy meals, incontinence care and toileting, housekeeping, help with personal care, and mobility assistance, according to APlaceforMom.com. QUESTIONS TO ASK When you visit a memory care facility, there are some essential questions to ask. Here are some suggestions from the Alzheimer’s Association. Read more at https://bit.ly/3BQl4iP.
How long is the training and what topics are covered? • What is the ratio of residents to staff? • How does staff handle challenging behaviors? • Which therapies (physical, occupational, speech, recreational) are offered? • What is the rate of falls? • Does staff have a plan for monitoring adequate nutrition? • Is continuing care available

as a resident’s needs change? • Is there an “aging in place” policy where residents can remain in the community — even the same room — throughout the course of the disease? COVID and Dementia As the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the world, those who study dementia have become worried that a knock-on effect of the disease will be a spike in dementia cases. The Alzheimer’s Disease International has urged the World Health Organization and governments around the world to “urgently fast track research on the potential impact of COVID-19 on increasing dementia rates,” according to CNBC. The World Health Organization estimates that around 50 million people have dementia globally with nearly 10 million new cases every year, according to CNBC. Cases were already on the rise before COVID-19 with the number expected to rise to 78 million by 2030, according to ADI. NEW RESEARCH Research presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in 2021 found associations between COVID-19 and persistent cognitive deficits, including the acceleration of Alzheimer’s disease pathology and symptoms, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Of particular concern is “long COVID” or the syndrome of symptoms such as loss of taste and smell, “brain fog,” and difficulties with cont. on page 2
Evans new CCMHFortLab Manager Sam Houston Brooke By Linda Timian Republican Writer
Insley Evans was hired by the Cavalier County Memorial Hospital to manage the lab starting in early September. Evans is originally from Miami, Florida, and grew up in the military. “I’m a military child,” said Evans, “so naturally I went to 14 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 5 high schools.” Evans had planned on a career in medicine, but a significant event altered his path. “To be honest with you, I wanted to be a pediatrician before I joined the military,” he said, “but then my sister was born premature, one pound, 11 ounces, and it changed my mentality because she was able to fit in my hand. So I didn’t want to be a pediatrician anymore, so I decided to go regular enlisted, and I decided to join the military from that standpoint at the age of 17.” Evans said he got his training through the military at
Army Medical Center. He has worked in other towns across the state in previous years. “I’ve practically lived all over North Dakota,” he said. “This is actually my third tour here. My first tour to ND was in 2009. I worked at Devils Lake Mercy Hospital, and from there I practically worked all over the state of ND. I’ve been a scientist for 24 years with the United States Army, and I haven’t looked back.” Evans said he worked in Montana prior to coming to Langdon and has decided to stay. “I’m a travelling scientist,” said Evans. “I’m here permanently. Langdon is my retirement home. Jesus said it’s time to sit down and get stuff done, and so I’m going to relax, be patient, and wait on the Lord. Whatever he has planned, I want to try to be one of those individuals willing to do it.” Evans has some goals for the lab and specific plans to achieve them. “Having the ability to get cont. on page 3

Cavalier County Republican
Cavalier County Commissioners receive department reports By Linda Timian Republican Writer The Cavalier County Commissioners met Tuesday morning, October 19, 2021, for their regular meeting. During open discussion Commissioner Stanley Dick read a petition that has already been filed with US Fish and Wildlife to place the American bumblebee on the endangered species list. North Dakota was among 8 states to report near zero American bumblebees according to the petition. It goes on to cite pesticides, loss of habitat, climate change and non-native honeybees as major threats to the bumblebee. If successful, Dick believes it would affect farmers’ ability to use nicatoids and the non-native honeybees would need to be removed. Both of these actions would target canola growers. Violators would face steep fines. The commissioners discussed forming a committee to help determine projects for the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act of 2021) funds. There are very strict regulations through the US Treasury that the projects have to fit into. The committee will have responsibility for setting up the categories for the projects, reviewing proposed projects, and making recommendations to the commissioners. Dick made a motion to have two county commissioners, Emergency Coordinator Karen Kempert, JDA Director Shannon Duerr, one representative from the Langdon City Commission and one from the Munich City Commission make up the committee. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Dave Zeis, and motion carried. In her department update, Kempert reported that unused money from grants that have been returned to the state have been allocated to fire departments for mobile radios. Langdon Ambulance was able to go through a nonprofit grant to get funding for mobile radios. Sheriff Greg Fetsch reported that they are bringing prisoners back that they had bonded out because of COVID. They have had 37 prisoners for a total of 235 days. Jail inspection was last spring, and things went well. He noted a few repairs that would be needed in the near future. Fetsch said Pembina County has expressed a desire for one or two Cavalier County commissioners to attend a meeting to discuss a tri-county jail. He noted that if they keep the county jail, he would need more employees to staff it, and Zeis agreed. Some counties bring their prisoners to other jails. The commissioners discussed the benefits and costs of having their own jail vs. being part of a tri-county jail and agreed that two commissioners should attend the meeting to find out more details. Zeis and Commissioner Nick Moser agreed to go. Extension Agent Katie Henry provided the NDSU Extension update. Cavalier County has moved up in the queue for replacing Dr. Chirumamilla. Henry stated that she has found it works best to reach youth in the
summer and reach adults in the winter or school year. She anticipates more 4-H members in the coming year. She is developing some fundamental suicide prevention training to teach people how to talk to people who have suicidal thoughts. She is also working with the hospital on pre-diabetes and diabetes prevention because insurance does not cover pre-diabetes. Kensi Breyer from the Water Board advised the commissioners that there will be a public meeting on November 15 at 10:00 a.m. in Edmore regarding the Edmore Coulee projects. Breyer encouraged all interested parties to attend. There is one new petition filed for a drain in Dresden Township that is being surveyed by Dan Fisher. State’s Attorney Scott Stewart told the commissioners that the state is encouraging all political subdivisions to register with the state regarding the opioid class action. The deadline is January 22. Dick made a motion that Stewart follow through on the opioid class action and sign Cavalier County up, seconded by Zeis, motion carried. The commissioners wanted Stewart to research if they can borrow money for infrastructure, for how long, when does it have to be paid off, and at what dollar amount does borrowing money need to be brought to a county vote of the citizens. Stewart also pointed out that cities have the right to purchase property that is going back to the county with delinquent specials for the amount the commissioners appraised it at prior to the sale. The cities have 30 days to do so. Langdon is the only city that has special assessments and so the only city eligible to purchase before the sale. This will be included in the delinquent tax sale notice. After Road Supervisor Terry Johnston updated the commissioners on the status of Highway 55. Dick made a motion for the engineers at KLJ to proceed with applying for SRS funds for the Mount Carmel Dam road. This was seconded by Moser, motion carried. Johnston inspected a culvert on the county line going east, a 48 inch by 60 foot culvert that is separating in the middle and rusting out. He contacted Jeff Close to replace it. The commissioners decided to have a special meeting at 1:30 p.m. on November 16 with contractors about gravel bids and then to meet with the road men immediately afterwards. A notice will be sent inviting all contractors to discuss bid books, future bidding projects, and quality and quantity documentation. Commissioners will be looking for bids on specific PI quality. Johnston and Gellner will put together a draft bid sheet for contractors before the next meeting. Goodman suggested doing an east county tour and a west county tour inspecting shops, bridges, and roads. They decided to start with east county on November 28, meeting at the courthouse at 8:30 a.m. Other Business: Moser made a

motion to hire Josh Plummer for the full-time courthouse maintenance position to start January 1, seconded by Dick, motion carried. There was discussion whether Plummer could continue to work at human services within his 40-hour week since the hours are very flexible. The next meeting will be November 2 at 8:30 a.m.

Langdon City Commissioners meet for regular meeting By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met for their scheduled meeting Monday, October 25. An addition to the agenda was to have the tobacco sales ordinance prepared for the first reading in 2 weeks. This is to change the ordinance to be lawful with state law on tobacco sales. The water department has been replacing meters the past 3 weeks that have not been reading. The Activity Center is moving the Pilates room upstairs along with equipment that is not being utilized. Johnson Controls stopped and fixed the thermostat that is contracted work. The police department has been busy with service calls, traffic tickets, and serving papers. Sheriff Greg Fetsch showed the in-town vs. county ratio of stops and showed a good balance of patrolling in town and around the county. City Auditor Roxanne Hoffarth reported that the county would like a city commissioner to be on the committee to help decide where federal funds are disbursement. Lawrence Henry was asked by the county and
accepted. Hoffarth and the board discussed and approved moving funds to close out accounts for finished projects. Money that is left over will be moved to the general fund in a CD. The Park Board is going to be remodeling the baby pool. The project cost is estimated at $270,000 to make a wading pool with a splash pad. They are looking for donations to hopefully have a young child-friendly area next year. Moore Engineering presented updates on phase 1 and 2. Concerning Phase 1 work, there is a good chance work will still happen this fall. The work involves transfer piping, hopefully being done mid-November. The weather will tell as the contractors would like the temperature to be 40 and above. The board agreed not to pull the bond at this time but will re-evaluate in 2 weeks. Phase 2 involves an outstanding gutter by the elementary school. Money will be held until the project is finished. Talking with funding agencies, the Moore Engineering representative explained there is a good chance of money coming in for rural state development with potential loan forgiveness.
These fund applications are due mid-December and, if qualified, would be seen sometime between January and March. These funds would go towards water and sewer projects. Insurance bidding was evaluated. Every 3 years the city has switched between Mostad Insurance and TR Waind Insurance. Mostad Insurance has been managing the account for 4 years due to COVID. Russell Stremick called showing interest for Farmers Union Insurance to be part of the rotation. There is no bidding necessary as the cost is set by the state; it would just be what insurance company would manage the account. It was agreed to have Farmers Union Insurance in the rotation to support another local insurance agency. A house in the county is being sold at auction and will have a set minimum amount to cover property taxes and utilities owed. The hearing for this will be November 2 at 10:00 a.m. This concluded the meeting with the next meeting set for Monday, November 8, at 6:00 p.m.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Strangely enough Oh no! I’ve broken the law in Florida several times. I better go back and turn myself in to Tampa police! There are a lot of stupid laws in this country, including Florida and North Dakota. Some of them are so crazy, you just have to shake your head and wonder, who in God’s name would even want to create such laws? And, how can they be enforced? Now that I know I’m a criminal in Tampa, I don’t know how I’ll handle the stress! It’s illegal to go downtown without having at least $10. I’ve broken that law several times because sometimes, to get to point B, I had to drive through downtown Tampa and at other times downtown was the destination sans $10. Here in North Dakota, we have some whacky laws too. The following are just a few of them: • It is illegal in Fargo to wear a hat when you are dancing. • Fireworks are allowed only during daylight hours in Devils Lake. • Pretzels cannot be served with beer at the same time. How did that law stick with all the beer-drinking, pretzel-eating Germans in the state? • Sleeping with your shoes on is illegal anywhere in the state. That means the cops could go to any airport in the middle of the night and probably get their quota for the month because it’s doubtful delayed travelers are going to take their shoes off when they get a nap. Don’t blame this one on our lawmakers. Laws in other states are just as crazy. For instance, in South Dakota it’s illegal to fall asleep in a cheese factory, you can’t fish from an aircraft in Wyoming, Vermont requires margarine companies to dye their product to distinguish it from butter, you can’t serve alcohol during a government declared emergency in Utah, in Pennsylvania you are not allowed to eat peanuts while walking backward, in North Carolina you can’t take kitchen grease, and in Montana it’s illegal for unmarried women to go fishing alone. Oh, Oh! I guess I broke the law in Minnesota too; it’s illegal to sell or possess hamburgers in St. Cloud on Sunday. Here are some others: it’s illegal to let your pigs run loose in Detroit without rings in their noses, it’s illegal in Kansas to hit a vending
machine, you cannot fish from a camel’s back in Idaho, and in Miami it’s against the law to sell food (even oranges) in an open air stand. That means there are a bunch of blackmarket farmers markets going on in Miami. But wait- there’s more! In Connecticut pickles have to bounce, in Arkansas you can’t honk a horn in front of a sandwich shop after 9 p.m., in Arizona it’s unlawful to refuse someone a glass of water, and in Alaska it’s forbidden to give a moose alcohol. OK, when you look at these laws, you really have to question the rationale. Some of them don’t make any sense at all; others are being broken daily. Others are so strange, you can’t hardly imagine law enforcement picking you up for violating one of these laws. Our closest neighbors have some doozies too. Take a look at Minnesota. We’ve already discussed the illegal hamburger on Sunday in St. Cloud, but how about these: it’s illegal to stand around any building without a good reason for being there, all men driving motorcycles must have a shirt on, and airplanes may not be landed in city parks. You may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on your head. Iowa has its own set of bizarre laws, including it’s a crime to use a dead person’s handicapped parking sign or license plate, one-armed piano players must perform for free, ministers must obtain a permit to carry liquor across state lines, and all boxes used to pick hops must be at least 36 inches long. In Billings, Mont., it is illegal to take bombs, grenades, rockets, or other large caliber weapons to a city council meeting. In Helena, Mont., it is illegal to annoy passersby on sidewalks with a revolving water sprinkler. Saving the best for last, here are some of the weirdest laws in California: it is illegal in Carmel to stand on a sidewalk with ice cream and women need a permit if they wear heels more than 2 inches; in San Francisco you cannot own a gorilla, pet bear, or crocodile; and finally, it is illegal in Los Angeles to wash your neighbor’s car without their permission. And we thought North Dakota had strange laws. What were we thinking? Just remember, the next time you go out for a beer after work, make sure you don’t eat any pretzels or you could go to jail.

The permanence of print in a changing world When I was in high school, we filed down to the library (before the rebranding of “media center” entered the landscape). We crowded around the front desk, the librarians eager to show us something called the World Wide Web. “Pick a topic – anything,” one said, and when none of the gangly teenagers volunteered, she chose zebras. She cranked the enormous monitor around and showed us – just type in the word, and you can get all the information you want, far more than our Dewey decimal system offers on these shelves. The ancient printer started screeching, puttering out page after perforated page of entries on the striped animals. Today, the internet whizzes silently in the background of nearly all we do, be it banking or buying or chatting with our friends and family. We rarely think about it in terms of the infrastructure system it is, nor how it was designed, or the limitations it poses when we rely on it for things great and small. For a brief moment a few weeks back, when the world of Facebook went dark, some were struck with a thought – wait, all my family photos, special memories – what if they are erased? But then, before the day was done, the Facebook machine whirled back to life, and the idea that our internet caches might ever be emptied fell to the wayside. We are in the early stages of a profound paradigm shift, as society moves from the system of carefully indexed and preserved academic and historical records in libraries and museums, to casting the imprint of our lives and knowledge into the vast space of the internet. But as Harvard law and computer sciences professor Jonathan Zittrain notes in his piece “The Internet Is Rotting” in The Atlantic, unlike the libraries and temples of the past, the internet has no index, and despite our collective

Guest editorial
thoughts otherwise, no guarantee of permanence. Scholars identify two terms – when content is changed, it’s called “content drifting,” and when it’s eliminated entirely, it’s known as “link rot.” It’s a fascinating piece, one that explores these topics in far greater detail than I could recount with authority. But the threat to “humanity’s collective knowledge” it explores is far from just academic blather. It’s real. CNN Business just investigated the way that the demise of Adobe Flash destroyed “some of the most iconic 9/11 news coverage” along with “other major events from the early days of online journalism.” Just the other day I read about the city of Lewiston, Minn., a few miles from my former newspaper, the Winona Post. Lewiston was hit with a cyber attack – a ransomware attack that stole the city’s files and locked up its computers. It ultimately paid $60,000 – 1.5 Bitcoin – to retrieve access to its data. It turns out that, if we want to ensure that our most important records are maintained, unchanged, into the future, we need to make sure they are tethered to something more tangible than the vast and unregulated world of the internet. Zittrain and his colleagues investigated the extent of link rot in 2014 and again last spring. The first study found that 50% of links embedded in U.S. Supreme Court opinions since 1996, when the first hyperlink was used, no longer functioned. A full 75% of the links found in the Harvard Law Review had rotted – disappeared – as well. Zittrain’s studies of thousands of scientific and government websites, and the “link rot” and missing information that plagues them, gave way to this pointed thought: That the design of the internet creates “gaps of responsibility for maintaining valuable content that others rely on … and as tangible counterparts to online work fade, these gaps represent actual holes in humanity’s knowledge.”
As a journalist, these ideas beg plenty of questions. The thing that immediately comes to mind is what some politicians see as a way of saving a few bucks in doing away with printing government records. “Just throw them on the website” is a concept that comes up during our legislative sessions, when legislators push bills that would have public notices simply added to the graveyards of local governments’ websites, places few residents ever travel, and where there’s no real way to ensure they aren’t altered or eliminated. Since the beginning of North Dakota statehood and when newspapers were rolled through letterpresses, these government records have been printed, maintained, and stored in library archives and fireproof newspaper record rooms, cataloged in such a way that our grandkids will be able to scroll through to find record of their ancestors’ earliest achievements and their hometowns’ evolutions. Sure, being able to roll over at 3 a.m., grab your smartphone and look up some obscure piece of information is great. That’s why the North Dakota Newspaper Association has for years maintained a statewide database of all North Dakota public notices. But our newspapers also print them, and archive them, and act as a third party to make sure they remain unchanged as a true permanent record. That’s the way it should be. We’re gearing up for the next legislative session, when this issue will again come to head. And this time, I hope our leaders come to the table with a broader lens focused on how we preserve government records and history in this state. We might not have to put it in stone, but we definitely need to put it on paper. By Sarah Elmquist Squires NDNA executive director
ND Matters: The pain of choosing a President By Lloyd Omdahl As disgruntled citizens grope for a solution – any solution – for the disarray in our “status quo” political system, they are grasping at structural reforms, abolishing the Electoral College, creating a multiparty system, designing new ballots and voting directly for president, to name a few. Every time a new cause appears, the social media are full of solicitations, some of dubious origins. Money is being gathered to abolish the Electoral College. Contributors should realize that this is a futile effort and they could make better investments at the Indian casinos. To abolish the Electoral College would require submission by twothirds of each house of Congress and ratification by three-fourth of the states. Democrats think abolition would benefit them and Republicans think the system already benefits them. Right off the bat, we have two competitive parties opposing each other, meaning they will never overcome the majorities required for amending the Consti-

tution. After George Wallace carried five states for 46 electoral votes in 1968, both parties realized that a third party could bargain with the major parties on radical issues and they would end up in a bidding war. Republicans were especially concerned and espoused alternate ways for casting electoral votes to keep people like Wallace from getting leverage in the future. Reform of the Electoral College disappeared like a cellophane cat in hell. Nothing was done and we’re still arguing about it 54 years later as though it were a fresh mackerel. It isn’t going to happen. George Wallace proved that a hazard of the Electoral College is its vulnerability to minority parties, not that they could repeat Wallace’s successful win of electoral votes but as spoilers. The most recent spoiler was 2000 when Green Party’s Ralph Nader gave the election to George W. Bush by bleeding Albert Gore votes in the races for electors. So there is room for dangerous political dropouts in the Electoral College. In addition to the abolition of the Electoral College, direct vote for president has been picking up steam. Because advocates know it cannot succeed in the normal status quo climate, they are supporting legislation by states to cast their electoral votes for the presidential candidate who gets the largest popular vote. A recent Washington Post-ABC poll found that 56% of the electorate favors the direct election while only 37% favored continuing the Electoral College. But the people have no voice in the decision so popular opinion will be dismissed out-of-hand.
As of April 2021, 16 jurisdictions with 195 electoral votes have ratified the compact, leaving the campaign 75 electors short of the270 needed to activate the compact. It should be noted that the national vote committee has enjoyed picking the low hanging fruit. The remaining states include a number of small states, among them North Dakota, that think the Electoral College gives them disproportionate leverage in choosing presidents. Mathematical calculations prove that this is not correct but perception is truth. Direct popular election has merit but it also has negatives to worry about. It would encourage the formation of multiple parties, with each screening votes away from the two major parties. All sorts of candidates would get on the ballot unless access was limited to candidates with minimal strength. In the Democratic Party, the “progressives” would have a candidate and, at the other end of the spectrum, the Manchin group would have a candidate, perhaps Manchin himself. (He would be a minor, minor candidate.) In the Republican Party, Congressperson Cheney would be a likely candidate and so would Senator Mitt Romney. Unless the popular vote system was restrained, it could destroy the two major parties and create havoc in the political system. As for me, I lean to abolishing the Electoral College and approving the popular vote, not for partisan reasons but if equality of people is good enough for God it is good enough for me.

Ronald Raymond Mackey A visitation was held at the Aaker Funeral Home of Lakota on Friday, October 29, 2021, for Ronald Raymond Mackey, 81, who died October 23, 2021, at Sanford on Broadway in Fargo. A private burial was held at the Storlie Cemetery of rural Hampden. Ron was born on August 17, 1940, to Raymond and Rose (Otto) Mackey. He was raised in rural Hampden and graduated from Hampden High School in 1958. He served in the ND National Guard for 25 years. He was a member of the Hampden Hay-Overbo American Legion Post No. 266. In February 1982, he married Sue Kana in Seattle, Wash. In January 1984, they welcomed son Travis, and in May 1987, they welcomed son Kyle. In later years, they fully enjoyed their five grandchildren. He farmed his
entire life in the Hampden area with his brother, Ralph. He loved to hunt– from wild pigs in Texas to elk in Colorado, from black bear in Canada to mule deer in western North Dakota. He also loved to fish – deep-sea fishing off the Florida coast, halibut and salmon fishing in Alaska, paddlefishing and ice fishing in North Dakota. Ron is survived by his wife, Sue; son Travis and his wife, Sarah, and their children, Will and Grace; and son Kyle and his wife, Amber, and their children Olivia, Regan, and Freya. He is also survived by his brother, Robert; and sisters, Rosalie Ellingson and Rhonda Rostberg. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Ralph. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred. The Aaker Funeral Home of Lakota was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.iversonkassianfuneralservices.com.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Pastor Don Barsness of Salem Bible Church
“More Than We Ask” Early in October, my wife and I try to remember how many Halloween trick-or-treaters came to our door last year. With that, we’re mulling over other variables that may influence how many kids will be out this year – things like weather, community events, and COVID (or not). We’re trying to answer the question: how much Halloween candy should we buy? We want to get it right. We’d hate to underestimate the numbers and have to turn off our porch light because we’ve run out of supplies. My wife and I look forward to blessing whoever rings our doorbell on the evening of costumes and candy. You get the picture – young, costumed, trick-ortreaters as recipients; my wife and I as the joyful givers. In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul writes about Christians receiving from their joyfilled God. Paul boldly prays a big prayer, asking God to bring His resources to bear on the lives of those who follow Christ. What would that look like? The Apostle asks that these Christfollowers will be 1) “strengthened with power through [God’s] Spirit,” 2) experience “Christ [dwelling] in their hearts by faith,” 3) be “rooted and grounded in love,”
and 4) be “filled with the fullness of God.” Whew! Sounds like a tall order. For anyone of us to be so spiritually alive, so compelled by divine love, so filled with God, might qualify as “more than all we ask or imagine.” We’re challenged to comprehend what God makes possible. How does God accomplish such significant blessings in a person? The Ephesians verse (3:20) answers that question. God, “is able to do immeasurable more than we ask or imagine,” (the verse continues) “according to his power that is at work within us.” Paul’s Ephesians 3 prayer speaks of God’s abiding presence in the lives of His people. Jesus promised that those who love Him would enjoy God “making [His] home with [them]” (John 14:23). In His love for us, He is powerfully present to accomplish “immeasurably more than we ask or imagine.” More often than not, God’s response to our request entails spiritual blessings that are greater in quality and quantity than what we’ve asked for- perhaps, even imagined. So step up and ring the doorbell. The porch light is on. God is home. He is able to do more than you ask, immeasurably more that you can imagine.

A scholarship is now available for higher education students who have taken a qualifying dual-credit course from an NDUS institution while enrolled in a North Dakota high school. To qualify, students must meet the eligibility criteria, complete an application with the NDUS, and provide all supporting documentation. Lisa Johnson, NDUS vice chancellor of academic and student affairs, said the scholarship provides a great financial incentive for college students who have already completed dual credit in high school. “We are grateful for the support of the ND legislature to provide financial assistance to reward ND students who have taken dual credit educational opportunities during their high school career,” Johnson said. “Dual credit plays an important role in helping the state meet educational attainment goals and
particularly helps those students who choose to pursue a college degree among their choices of college, career, or military preparation.” The NDUS will award the DualCredit Tuition Scholarship throughout the academic year. Scholarship award amounts may be up to $750. The maximum payment will be no more than 50% of the cost of the dual-credit courses, and will be limited to the cost of tuition and fees for the semester, quarter or term the scholarship applies. This scholarship may be used for post-secondary enrollment at any ND state public, private, tribal or proprietary institution. Payments will generally be issued to the student’s institution the following semester, quarter, or term enrolled after application. This fall, approximately 4,000 students were enrolled in a dual credit course, which can aid in the overall cost of attaining a higher education degree after high school, Johnson said. More information about the scholarship application for dual credit can be found at https://tiny. ndus.edu/dualcrschol.

NDDoH releases statement on FDA approval, CDC expansion of eligibility for COVID-19 booster shots The CDC endorsed the recommendation from its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and expanded eligibility for COVID-19 booster shots to those who previously received Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Individuals who received the Pfizer vaccine were already eligible for a booster dose. The decision also allows people to mix-and-match vaccine brands for their booster dose. “COVID-19 vaccines continue to be safe and are highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death. Effectiveness is waning against mild to moderate infection, which is why booster doses are recommended for certain individuals. People who are 65 or older, have an underlying health condition, or live or work in certain institutional or occupational settings are able to receive a booster dose,” said NDDoH Immunization Director Molly Howell. “People may choose which brand of vaccine they want to receive for the booster dose, providing flexibility and choice for North Dakotans as they take proactive steps to protect themselves and others from COVID-19.” To date, 36,588 North Dakotans
have already received three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. For individuals who initially received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at six months or more after their initial series: • 65 years and older • Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings • Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions • Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings • For the nearly 27,475 North Dakotans who got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and were vaccinated two or more months ago. Booster doses for those who previously received Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine may not be available until later next week. Health care providers will need to educate staff and update protocols based on this recommendation. The NDDoH has planned with longterm care facilities to ensure they have access to these booster doses in the coming weeks. As a reminder,
people may be vaccinated against influenza at the same time as receiving a COVID-19 booster. Next week, the U.S. FDA’s advisory committee will be discussing the authorization of Pfizer’s pediatric vaccine for children ages 5 – 11. The NDDoH has already placed an order for 10,200 doses of this vaccine in anticipation of the pediatric vaccine being authorized and recommended. COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 – 11 could be available as soon as November 4, pending FDA authorization and CDC recommendations. Currently, in North Dakota, those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine are 5 times less likely to contract the virus, 5 times less likely to be hospitalized and 3 times less likely to die. Getting vaccinated continues to be safer than outcomes from COVID-19 illness. 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.
Rare but dangerous bacteria found in retail aromatherapy product The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) is alerting citizens of an ongoing national investigation of four cases of severe illness due to a rare bacteria called Burkholderia pseudomallei, which causes melioidosis. The cases were reported from Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota and Texas. Two of the cases were fatal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found the bacteria in a bottle of “Better Homes & Gardens Lavender & Chamomile Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones.” The product tested was taken from the home of one of the cases. This product was sold in limited quantities in the United States by Walmart—both in stores and online—and comes in a variety of scents. Walmart stores nationwide have pulled the product from their shelves. “At this time, we do not know if any North Dakota stores sold the product,” said Michelle Dethloff, NDDoH Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Director. “Because it was available to purchase online, we want to make sure North Dakota
residents are aware this situation.” North Dakota residents who have this product—of any scent—in their home should stop using it immediately. They should NOT throw the product away or try to dispose of the product. The CDC recommends that anyone who has this aromatherapy spray in their home: 1. Stop using this product immediately. Do not open the bottle. Do not throw away or dispose of the bottle in the regular trash. 2. Double bag the bottle in clean, clear zip-top bags and place in a small cardboard box. Return the bagged and boxed product to a Walmart store. 3. Wash sheets or linens that the product may have been sprayed on using normal laundry detergent and dry completely in a hot dryer; bleach can be used if desired. 4. Wipe down counters and surfaces that might have the spray on them with undiluted Pine-Sol or similar disinfectant. 5. Limit how much you handle the spray bottle and wash hands thoroughly after touching the bottle
or linens. If you used gloves, wash hands afterward. 6. If you have used the product within the past 21 days and have fever or other melioidosis symptoms, seek medical care and tell your doctor you were exposed to the spray. If you do not have symptoms but were exposed to the product in the last 7 days, your doctor may recommend that you get antibiotics (postexposure prophylaxis) to prevent infection. Symptoms of melioidosis vary and usually occur two to four weeks after exposure but may be sooner or later. Fever, breathing problems, skin problems, neurological problems and gastro-intestinal problems may be noticed. North Dakota residents who have used this product and develop or have developed an illness should consult with their health care provider regarding their illness and mention the possible exposure the product.

Prairie Doc® Perspectives: Wound care for Henry VIII By Jill Kruse, D.O. When we think of Henry VIII most of us envision an oversized man with multiple wives, a bitter personality, and a propensity for beheading his enemies. A lesserknown fact is that he suffered with chronic leg sores the last twenty years of his life. Living in a time before antibiotics, anesthesia, and proper wound care, this king endured excruciating ulcers with no cure available. Would history have been different if his sores could have been treated with today’s advanced wound care? As a young man, Henry was athletic and active. Unfortunately, he had multiple sports injuries, and one which occurred in January 1536 seemed to initiate chronic wounds. He was thrown off his horse at a jousting tournament and his fully armored horse landed on top of him. Reports from the time state he was unconscious for two hours and had several leg bone fractures. Initially he appeared to heal, but he
later developed ulcers in his legs, and historians note at that point his personality changed. His doctors lanced and drained his ulcers, but they never fully healed. There is much modern speculation as to what caused his sores. Likely the injury was the source, but his love of wearing garters around his calves also likely increased his risk for developing varicose veins and blood clots in his legs. His activity level dropped due to his pain and his weight increased. He was at increased risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. All these things together made him susceptible to leg ulcers from blood vessels that did not work well making it difficult for his initial wounds to heal. If I were transported back to Henry’s court with the limited medical knowledge of that time, there would be little I could do to help him. However, if we were to transport Henry to modern day, we would observe his veins and arteries with ultrasounds. We’d use CT scans to see if infection had gone into the bone. We could determine his ankle-brachial index indicating
how well his blood is flowing. And Henry would be given anesthesia while we probed and debrided the wounds. We could treat the root of the infection with antibiotics. And devices such as vacuum assisted closure (wound VAC) and hyperbaric oxygen chambers could help close sores that were left untreated in his time. History may have looked very different if King Henry had not fallen from his horse launching a cascade of medical problems. Today, we can learn from his misfortune and take advantage of current wound care treatments which avoid unnecessary suffering, and possibly…change the course of our history.

FOOTBALL Cards ride big second half to 35-14 playoff over Oakes Romfo scores 3 TDs, Tetrault has 223 yards of total offense for L-E-M tried to find Tetrault with a pass By JAKE KULLAND BOXSCORE over the middle that was picked off Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals began defense of their three-time state high school football state championships when they host the Oakes Tornadoes on Oct. 23. After leading 14-6 at halftime, the Cardinals went out and got it done in the second half to win 3514. The victory puts the Cardinals record at 9-1, while the Tornadoes ended their year at 5-5. LangdonEdmore-Munich is now in the playoff quarterfinals where they will play their first road playoff game (outside of their Dakota Bowl appearances) since Nov. 4, 2017 when they won at Velva. They play the Kindred Vikings on Oct. 30. The Cards are now just two games away from making what would be their fifth straight Dakota Bowl game. Langdon-Edmore-Munich got things going with a little razzle-dazzle on their first possession as Carter Tetrault threw a 35-yard halfback option pass to Brady Regner which later set up a Jack Romfo four-yard touchdown run. That was followed by a 2-point conversion pass from Rayce Worley to Tucker Welsh to make the score 8-0. The Cards forced Oakes to punt on their opening drive, but Worley was hit as he
by Tornadoes linebacker Trey Skoglund and run back to the Cards 22-yard line. Oakes would later score on a one-yard touchdown run by David Schmitz to make the score 8-6. Oakes would hurt themselves with penalties that would kill several drives as they committed five penalties for 61 yards in the first half. The Cardinals would take advantage with another Romfo rushing TD, this time from a yard out to bring it 14-6 Cards advantage at the half. In the second half, the teams would trade possessions before Langdon-Edmore-Munich would further extend their lead on a touchdown pass from Worley to Tetrault from nine yards out. Romfo got a 2-point conversion pass from Worley for a 22-6 lead. Oakes didn't think the game was over, however, as Schmitz would injure an ankle just before the half and toughed it out as he scored a five-yard TD and ran in the 2-pointer to get the Tornadoes within 8 points at 22-14. The Cards didn't panic as Worley hit a couple of huge third down conversion passes to Regner and Tetrault, while Markus Kingzett had a late run to keep a drive going. All of that production turned into two fourth quarter TDs - one more by Romfo on the ground and another rushing score by Tetrault to cap the scoring. On the defensive side of the ball, the Cardinals were just as impressive. Romfo, Gage Goodman and Mason Romfo lead the way with some big hits to hold Oakes to just

Lady Cards win 30th match with a late show sweep over Grafton
Freije honored for 1,000th career dig
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
Due to several preliminary matches going long, the Grafton at Langdon-Edmore-Munich varsity match had a very late start of 8:23pm, but that didn't bother the Lady Cards. They impressively beat the Spoilers 25-17, 25-10 and 25-15. The match win puts the Cardinals record on the season at 30-21, and they now close out their regular season with two home matches by hosting top-ranked Northern Cass on Oct. 28 and a Region 4 showdown with North Star on Nov. 1. The Cards have clinched a bye in the play-in round of the Region 4 Tournament which will run Nov. 8-11 at the Devils Lake Sports Center. The Cardinals jumped out to a big lead in each set in the win over Grafton. The Spoilers would come
back to within three in set one, when Langdon-Edmore-Munich would commit 10 of their 20 unforced errors for the match. After they saw their lead cut to 17-14 in the opening frame, the Cards outscored the Spoilers 8-3 the rest of the way to get the win. From there, the Cardinals built on that momentum and blew Grafton in the next two sets to win by a sweep. What was most impressive about the win was that several girls had big parts in it with their three seniors leading the way. Morgan Freije, who was honored with a game ball for her 1,000 dig in a match win over New Rockford-Sheyenne the week before, had 20 kills, two blocks, and five service aces. Morgan Thielbar had seven kills and two aces, and Marlee Hetletved had six kills and a pair of aces. Sophomore setter Jalynn Swanson ended with 26 assists. The Lady Cards are also thrilled at

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Football Playoffs continue into the quarterfinals; North Border wins 6 Man State Title As we go this week, the North Dakota High School Football Playoffs continue on Oct. 30. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals are now just two wins away from making a fifth straight appearance in the Dakota Bowl, which will be held at the Fargodome on Nov. 12. The Cards looked good in their opening round win over Oakes, but have a couple big hurdles to get over, starting with a quarterfinal game at Kindred on Oct. 30. It's crazy to think about, but outside of their Dakota Bowl appearances, this is the Cardinals first road playoff game since Nov. 4, 2017, when they won at Velva 20-0. Cavalier is also in the 9 Man quarterfinals, and they are hosting Surrey also on Oct. 30. The North Dakota 6 Man Football Championship was held in Minot on Oct. 23, and congratulations to the North Border Eagles for winning the title over Center-Stanton. The very talented Eagles weren't even close to being challenged in any of their 6 Man games this year, and while it's been argued forever and a day about whether North Border should have stayed at 9 Man, it certainly wasn't the players fault one way or another. So with that said, we congratulate the Eagles on winning the title, and to senior Jaxen Johnson (Who pretty much has relatives in every corner of Cavalier County!) on winning the 6 Man Senior Athlete of the Year award. He and his teammates made the transition to 6 Man Football look easy, and hopefully have paved the way back to the Eagles going back to the 9 Man ranks next year, with improved numbers. Senior Night for the Lady Cards on Nov. 1 With high school football beginning to wind down, North Dakota girls volleyball is now looking forward to its postseason. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals got their 30th match win of the season
a couple of nights ago against Grafton, and after hosting top ranked Northern Cass on Oct. 28, now get ready for their annual showdown with North Star on Nov. 1 for what again will decide the Region 4 regular season title, and the top seed in the upcoming tournament, which will run at the Devils Lake Sports Center again this year from Nov. 8-11. The North Star match will also be Senior Night for the Lady Cards, as Morgan Freije, Marlee Hetletved and Morgan Thielbar will be honored between the JV and varsity matches, along with their parents. All three girls have had fantastic careers for the Cardinals volleyball program, so hopefully you can get out support the players and watch what should be an intense match in person on Nov. 1.

Christianson takes All-State honors at State B Cross County Meet Congratulations go out this week to Langdon junior Mason Christianson, who finished in the top 20 at the State B Cross Country Meet in Jamestown, held on Oct. 22. Mason ran a time of 17:20 for the 5K event, who was good for 17th place, which also gets him All-State honors in doing so. It's such a great feat to get that done, again way to go Mason and all of the area runners who completed their season last weekend. North Dakota Deer Season starts Nov. 5 Before we leave we say good luck to all deer hunters for the opener at 12 Noon on Nov. 5. It doesn't look like we will have any snow to track the 30 pointers, but best of luck all the same and go get 'em! "See ya!" next week!

Record land sales activity by Farmers National Company Farmers National Company and its agents marketed and sold a record amount of land during the company’s fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2021. “Our agents and staff handled over three quarters of a billion dollars of real estate sales the past 12 months topping the previous record set in 2013,” according to Randy Dickhut, senior vice president of real estate. Activity was brisk for Farmers National Company all year long with the number of sales up 10 percent over the past three years, nearing a previous record number of transactions. Higher land prices and increased buying demand propelled a few more sellers into the land market. This was especially true across much of the grain belt as recent inheritors, trusts and family groups decided to sell the farm or ranch and capture the stronger prices.” Sales activity picked up as the year went along in most all areas with average quality farmland and pastureland picking up interest, too. This was evidenced by the 55 percent increase in the total acres sold by Farmers National Company in fiscal year 2021. “Even with the strong demand to buy good farmland over the past year, it still takes local knowledge of the land market and a comprehensive marketing strategy to obtain the best sales price for a tract of land. Farmers National Company has been especially successful bringing together the local expertise of its agents with a widespread and effective marketing program that brings in all interested buyers to foster the competitive bidding for a
property,” Dickhut said. Increased sales activity this year for Farmers National Company was also created by agent’s ability to offer and recommend various types of competitive bidding, including a full complement of online and live auctions. “Being able to offer live auctions, simulcast live and online auctions, and written bid sales in addition to private treaty listings has given Farmers National Company agents the tools to best handle sales for many more landowners,” Dickhut said. Land sales activity looks to be brisk for the fall and early wintertime period. “Our agents are busy talking to landowners wanting to sell. We have more auctions booked for the next few months than we did at this time last year,” Dickhut said. Farmers National Company, an employee-owned company, is the nation’s leading agricultural landowner services company. Over the last five years, Farmers National Company has sold 3,938 properties (1,404 at auction) and more than $5.02 billion of real estate during the last 10 years. The company manages more than 5,000 farms and ranches in 29 states comprising more than 2 million acres. Additional services provided by the company include auctions, appraisals and valuation services, insurance, consultation, oil and gas management, a national hunting lease program, forest resource management, and FNC Ag Stock.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent The Importance of Vitamin D I can already feel it deep in my bones. As daylight gets shorter and shorter, there is a stronger need to hibernate. Crawling under a warm winter blanket with a cup of hot tea while watching movies or reading a great book is a fun activity to do in North Dakota in the middle of winter, and I feel the fun calling my name. With the hibernation mode comes possible depletion of important nutrients. Low Vitamin D starts coming into question this time of year for those of us in areas of the United States that require more clothing to keep warm. With few food sources of Vitamin D and the sun being one of our main sources, we get limited in our daily Vitamin D intake with the shorter days accompanied by the bundling up in our warm clothing. Research shows that 35% of American adults are deficient in Vitamin D, the fat-soluble vitamin that helps: our bodies absorb calcium, our nerves to carry messages, our immune system to fight diseases, and keeps our bones from getting brittle and soft (Osteomalacia and Osteoporosis). Deficiency in Vitamin D is linked to the development of Type 2 Diabetes, certain cancers, and the occurrence of depression. That is a lot of power for one little nutrient. The great news is that if we are aware of our lower exposure of Vitamin D during the winter months, we can be more conscious of the foods we eat to help us main-

NDSU Extension Notes
tain our Vitamin D levels. Foods that contain Vitamin D include mushrooms, chicken breast, egg, salmon, and trout. There are also several foods that have been fortified with Vitamin D to help us get more in the foods we eat. Those foods include things like milk, ready-to-eat cereals, some orange juice, and some yogurts. See the end of my column for a couple of Vitamin-D recipe ideas to help you boost your intake. Also, since 2016, there has been a requirement that nutrition labels contain the amount of Vitamin D contained within the food that is being labeled. That is another way for you to keep track of getting it in your diet. Sometimes, people’s bodies have more difficulty maintaining the needed level of Vitamin D. Those reasons could include being darker skinned, older in age, or keeping more of their bodies covered due to religious or other reasons. In any of those cases, things like more sun exposure, diet with foods higher in Vitamin D, and supplements could be helpful. If you have any concerns about your Vitamin D level, speak with a trusted health care provider for testing and a discussion about what treatment or plan is best for you. Since Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, the good news is that we can store some for later needs. The bad news is that we can get too much in our bodies, and it can become toxic, causing us a number of issues such as nausea, vomiting, and weakness. The odds of getting too much and becoming toxic are highly unlikely, but it’s something to discuss with a healthcare pro-
vider when discussing Vitamin D supplements. NDSU Extension website at www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension has many recipes with ingredients higher in Vitamin D. If you would like help finding some, please contact us at our office in the Cavalier County Courthouse by stopping in, calling 256-2560, or emailing katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. For more information on Vitamin D, you can also visit the National Institute of Health online at https:// ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/, Mayo Clinic at https://www.mayoclinic.org, or other reliable sources. Main Dish Salad Toss your favorite salad greens and sliced vegetables in a bowl. Top with sliced hard-cooked eggs (rich in Vitamin D) and a grilled/broiled salmon filet (rich in Vitamin D). Adding mushrooms will add additional Vitamin D. Add favorite dressing. Serve with a glass of milk.

Dakota Gardener: The great pumpkin for ND By Tom Kalb, NDSU Extension horticulturist Do you believe in the Great Pumpkin? Linus from the Peanuts cartoon believed. Instead of trick-or-treating with Charlie Brown, Linus spent every Halloween night in a pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear. The ghost never came, but Linus never stopped looking. Since 2009, a team of more than 100 families in North Dakota have been looking for a great pumpkin in their backyard gardens. They have tested pumpkins that are orange, white and gray. They have tested pumpkins that are big and small, round and flat, smooth and warty. Their favorite pumpkin variety is Neon, the Great Pumpkin for North Dakota. These families are amazed to see bright-orange, glowing pumpkins in their gardens in August, while other pumpkins are still green. Neon pumpkins are guaranteed to ripen before Halloween, even in the far northern regions of our state. Another nice feature of Neon is its compact habit. The vines of Neon only spread about eight feet across. They won’t overrun the garden and can be grown in small spaces. Neon pumpkins are a nice size for a jack-o’-lantern. They grow about 10 inches across and weigh about 8 pounds. Although these pumpkins are not huge, your kids will be delighted. The handles are dark green and strong. If you are looking for a bigger pumpkin and have room in your garden for the vines to spread, a variety called Howden is the classic pumpkin. Breeders in North Dakota have developed an early strain called Early Dakota Howden. This organic

variety has performed well in trials across our state. Other strong performers in North Dakota include Early King and Early Giant. These varieties are easy to grow, ripen early and produce deep-orange jack-o’-lanterns. If you want to get your kids really excited, grow a monster pumpkin. Atlantic Giant grows the biggest pumpkins, often exceeding 200 pounds. But these pumpkins require a tremendous amount of care. You will need to start seeds indoors, sacrifice most of your garden space, trim vine roots, pick off little fruits, provide shade to the enormous pumpkin and water almost daily. In the end, you will get a big, ugly, lopsided, pale-orange pumpkin. Plus, you will need a tractor to move it out of the garden. That’s too much work and not enough reward for many of us. An easier option is to choose giant pumpkins that require no special care. The Big Moose variety produces eye-catching, red-orange fruits that may reach 100 pounds. It’s highly recommended. Large Marge and Howden Biggie reliably reach over 30 pounds. If you want to try something different, grow Polar Bear, a pure-white giant pumpkin. You can search these varieties online and find several seed companies that sell them. Every year, North Dakota State University works with gardeners to look for the Great Pumpkin of North Dakota. If you would like to join our team next year, please contact me at tom.kalb@ndsu.edu. Happy Halloween! For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
I went to the grocery store the other day on a more extended trip. I noticed that I only had three bags of groceries for the price I used to pay for four bags. I buy some of the same things and some different things every week. I had heard some media reports about increasing prices. Carrying my bags to our car hit home. When I visited with my neighbors, they were talking about food prices, unsolicited from me. “I didn’t buy that much and it came to $91!” my neighbor exclaimed. My other neighbor listed several foods she purchased while on a trip out of state. “The bill for those few items was $75,” she said. This conversation made me curious about just how much prices have increased. I checked in with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (USDA ERS) to see if our casual observations agreed with data-based information from their nationwide economic analysis. The price of food away from home was 4.7% higher in August 2021 compared to August 2020. Food purchased from grocery stores was 3% higher in August 2021 than August 2020, according to the USDA ERS. Further, in 2022, we can expect an increase of up to 4% for food-away-fromhome prices and 2.5% for food-at-home prices. Some food categories, especially protein foods, are growing at a faster rate of as much as 6%. These changes affect how many bags of groceries a consumer can buy on a given budget. However, based on the data, cooking and eating at home is less expensive than eating

at a restaurant. What’s a savvy consumer to do when purchasing and preparing foods? We all need to eat, of course, and making healthful food choices plays a major role in our health. • Plan meals a week or more at time. Meal planning helps relieve the stress of not knowing what to cook at the last minute. By planning meals with a variety of foods, your family is more likely to get all the nutrients needed each day. Planning your menus helps you make use of the foods that are in season and/or on sale too. • Check out the store specials online or on the flyers, and use the specials to inspire your menus. • Shop with a list and try to avoid the many temptations. • Avoid shopping when excessively tired. When you are tired, you may be more likely to purchase convenience items and make poor food choices. • If possible, shop alone and/or go only once a week. Children can prompt many purchases. They are known for their “pester power” according to food marketing specialists. On the other hand, children can learn a lot about food during shopping trips. I used to let my children pick one item as we walked around the store. They were not always happy about that rule, and sometimes they pondered their choice for a long time. I think they were trying to wear me down. • Be sure to have a snack before going grocery shopping to prevent impulse buys. Most of us do not make the wisest choices when we are hungry. • Compare the unit prices for the same product from different brands to determine the best size and brand for the money. Unit prices are the small labels on the front edge of the shelves in the grocery store. However, remember that buying the larger amount with the smaller unit price might not always be your best decision. You may end up buying a product that you grow tired of eating, or the product may spoil before you eat it all. • In general, avoid buying nonfood items

Fold tortillas in half. Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with oil. Place filled tortillas on a griddle. Cook, carefully flipping once, until tortillas are golden brown and crisp and cheese filling melts, about 5 minutes. Cut quesadillas into wedges. Makes eight quesadillas.

Early Outstanding Girls The Outstanding Girl Award was established in 1964. The size of that award was not given in the early stories, but we assume it must have been 18 inches tall since that was
the size of the boy’s award. Both newspaper and yearbook photos, when we could locate them, picture recipients holding what looks like a smaller trophy than 18 inches high. Possibly those are trophies they were given to take home. I have not seen either the ones with 70 years of names engraved on them or any that were of a smaller size, but each person describing this award mentions that “their names are on the origi-

nal trophy”. Being a non-essential visitor in a time of the COVID pandemic, I have not personally investigated. Readers have suggested actual pictures along with the stories, so I would suggest that this might be a photo-op for someone taking a course in photography. Judy Ridley received the first Outstanding Girl Award in 1964. She is now Judy Gossett and the lady behind a unique greeting card line

featuring knitted embellishments. Judy is the daughter of John and Joy Ridley of Maida, and today her parents are deceased. She was also Homecoming queen, class valedictorian in 1964, and went on to become a registered nurse, a career she has followed down through the years. When last contacted, she lived in the state of Washington. Nancy Bartlett, daughter of Margaret and Swede Bartlett was chosen Outstanding Girl in 1965. She grew up with the Roxy Theater family business and went on to become a registered nurse working for many years in a special children’s hospital in Minneapolis where a number of Cavalier County children have gone for surgeries or treatment. The third recipient was Linette Nichols, daughter of a high school teacher in Langdon at that time. She was chosen in 1966. Linette may have followed a teaching career since her address on school reunions was Linette Olson c/o Bismarck High School. The fourth outstanding recipient was Kristy Stalker, daughter of Dick and Zelpha Stalker, who received the award in 1967. Kristy was a student who was in everything (cheerleader for four years) and shared both the outstanding award with classmate Dennis Throndset (pictures show both of them holding large awards for the category), and both Dennis and Kristy were part of a three-way salutatorian honor. Janet Sorenson was valedictorian that year, and the two girls shared many other honors including marrying classmates Ken Forest and Terry Jacobson. Several couples from this class (including Ken and Kristy) have remained in the Langdon area and involved in many community events over the years. In 1968 the Outstanding Girl was Mary Ann Verke, daughter of Hartley and LaVelda Verke, who was Homecoming queen during her junior year, selected for Girls State and went on to be valedictorian of her class. Her engagement clipping says she was attending UND majoring in elementary physical education. She went on to marry Monte Jerstad, and later clippings list three sons. The most recent address is Fargo, and by that time she and her many Verke relatives had gathered for grandma’s 100th birthday. Pictures show a family of five generations, many of whom still live nearby. Deanna Melland received the Outstanding Girl award in 1969. She was the daughter of Melvin and Delores Melland. The clipping file had many stories about Deanna winning speech contests, and I was not sure if these were part of a speech program at school or through 4-H since both had similar activities. Not finding her Melland family in the phone book, I set out to call a lady who might have been her speech teacher and found her also not in the phone book. However, that teacher’s daughter-in-law (called for information on someone else) happens to be Deanna’s cousin and now serves with her on North Dakota United, a group who represents teachers in our state. Over the years, Deanna also worked with a predecessor group, the NDEA, which indicates she has teaching experience as well. She is now Deanna Paulson and lives in the Fargo area. In 1970 the Outstanding Girl award went to Margaret Rose, who is listed on numerous clippings and in the 1970 yearbook as Peggy Rose, daughter of Edna and Edwin Rose. Both parents were alumni of St. Alphonsus, so it is possible Peggy was the first in this group of outstanding students chosen who began her education at St. Alphonsus. A member of the Durum Queen 4-H Club, Peggy began entering cook-offs earlier in high school and was chosen for the State Cook-off at the Valley City Winter Show in 1969. Her winning recipe was Salisbury steak. After high school she had scholarships to
NDSU to study home economics. Later she married Dean Norman, and they have made their home in Minnesota down through the years. The 1971 Outstanding Girl, Colleen Kram, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Kram, began her winning ways with the Crisco award in 1969 and after high school graduation went on to Mayville State College where she met her future husband, Mike Rinas, of Egeland. Both were planning to teach and probably did. The last address found was Mandan. However, the Rinas name stuck in memory if not in the clipping file because a daughter of this couple reportedly taught in later years at St. Alphonsus. The 1972 Outstanding Girl is actually a local girl who has returned to visit on many occasions. The choice that year went to Melissa Jacobson, daughter of Floyd and Marjorie Jacobson, and a sister of Joel, who was chosen for the award in 1969. Melissa Jacobson Gale and her husband are currently back in the United States after years of working as teachers in China. They now make their home in Kansas. In 1973 the award went to Julie Olson, daughter of Henry and Bernice Olson. Julie went on to become a nurse at St. Luke’s Hospital in Fargo. She married Craig Sandstrom, and they continue to live and work in Fargo. Jan Fetsch, daughter of Jack and Nancy Fetsch, received the award in 1974. An honor student and editor of the yearbook, she went on to UND where she soon was listed as a Grey Gown and then as being interviewed for an Oxford scholarship. Jan received her law degree and followed that profession in Colorado and later in California. Her father became a pharmacist and spent much of his adult life operating Service Drug in Langdon. After his retirement, the family relocated to Fargo where some of the family still lives. Then came the missile years with bright scholars who may or may not have remembered their old neighbors as the years went by. Carrie Rice with a missile background was the 1975 award winner. Shortly after her graduation, her father was assigned to a location in Virginia so some of her college was in that state. Her address in 2000 was listed as Burlington, North Carolina. Debbie McCabe was the recipient in 1976 and the daughter of parents involved in a phase of the missile construction or operation. The family was not listed in the clipping file but were here for at least four years since she had four years of track and band in her accomplishments. She also chaired the 1976 Bi-centennial program at the school and was Homecoming queen. In a reunion listing, her married name was Bell, and she was then living in Spokane, WA. The uncaptioned picture from graduation shows Debbie and Dennis Gendreau with the large Outstanding Boy and Girl trophies. The 1977 recipient was Joni Feasel, daughter of Wayne and Val Feasel. She is remembered as an athlete in track and other sports who married Dan Lorenz, also from Langdon. They have made their home in Mayville for quite a few years and are the parents of some outstanding basketball players who grandparents and other friends have pointed out over the years. You can find their family picture in the Nekoma Centennial book. Susan Ormiston, the 1978 recipient, was a longtime nurse in Denver and died recently. Her married name was Jaramillo, and her story appeared earlier. The listings for both boys and girls will continue later from 1979 to the present. For recent graduates who are still working on their college degrees, we may have to wait to find out where they are headed since courses of study change as opportunities arise.
