In this second part series concerning Alzheimer's Disease, we are discussing how to cope with the disease.

APPROACHING MEMORY LOSS If you or a family member ever have the sense that you may be forgetting things more often or see changes in behavior, it’s natural to worry. It’s important that you or your family member are vocal about issues you may seem to be having. What have you noticed recently that may be different?

Are you forgetting places you’ve gone to for years, people’s names or find it difficult to keep a conversation? Diagnosing a problem as soon as changes are seen can mean the difference in care plans.

Here is a guide provided by the Alzheimer’s Association about how to approach memory loss concerns.

What else may be affecting you? There are various conditions in life that can affect shortterm and long- term memory. Are there any lifestyle choices, drugs or health issues you think may be the cause for these changes?

Does anyone else notice?

Have any friends or family noticed or pointed out any odd or different behaviors to you?

Have they expressed concerns for your overall health? What are some of the things they no-

ticed were different?

Know the symptoms. Take time to see look over the symptoms with family and see if any of the behavioral and mental changes you may be experiencing are linked to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

Start a conversation. The Alzheimer’s Association says if you noticed changes in yourself, confide in someone that you trust. If you’ve noticed changes

in a family member, they may choose to confide in you. The best time to talk is as soon as the changes occur. It’s important that everything is done as early as possible. Bringing up a conversation about health concerns is never easy, especially, if it involves loved ones that are close to you. Bringing up con-

Developing coping strategies can help you remain engaged and active, respond to challenges that will help you maximize your independence, and maintain a sense of control over your life.

Create a coping strategy: You and your family may have already noticed changes in your ability to complete daily tasks. You don’t have to develop a complicated coping strategy to cope with Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association says you can simplify the process by focusing on these three steps.

1. Identify. Make a list of tasks that have become more challenging: focus on developing coping strategies for your more challenging tasks. If you are forgetting to do tasks such as taking medications, laundry or brushing your teeth in the morning, focus on setting a reminder for the medication.

New laser tag at Langdon Activity Center The Langdon Activity Center (LAC) has a fun, new activity for kids to enjoy. The LAC purchased an ArmoGear Laser Tag game set and started offering it in early October. It gets set up in the racquetball court along with obstacles to play around.

“There are no age limits or restrictions,” said the Langdon Activity Center director,

there is no school which they announce on their Facebook page. You do not need to make reservations in advance.

Becky Borgen made it part of her son’s birthday party.

“The kids and I went up on a Saturday morning after Tyler’s birthday sleepover and played Laser Tag,” said Borgen. “We had a lot of fun and would go back.”

Although it is open to all ages, elementary kids have played the most. “It would be

Chelsea Graber. “We have all the equipment for someone to use it.” Players are supplied with the laser guns (which do not use real lasers) and vests to wear. The guns keep track of how many times you are “hit.”

A game is $8.00 for four players, or $2.00 per player, and lasts about 20-30 minutes. It is offered every Tuesday from 4-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 8-11 a.m. unless posted otherwise. It is also set up when

In addition to laser tag, the Activity Center has planned games for kids at 9:00 a.m. every Saturday morning in November, which is also posted on their Facebook page. There was floor hockey on the 7th, and there will be dodgeball on the 14th, basketball on the 21st, and soccer on the 28th.

Prairie Fare: Consider virtual family meals

The other day I was wrapping my collection of snowman salt and pepper shakers.

Yes, my snowmen witnessed the spring and summer seasons of 2020.

In some ways, time has stood still during our pandemic.

After eight months of navigating our strange time in history, I decided to get in the spirit of upcoming holidays. I put out my pumpkins, scarecrows and a couple of turkey decorations for Thanksgiving.

I filled 24 orange jack-o’-lantern plastic bags with leaves and lined them up in front of our house. Unfortunately, some of the 5-year-old bags look more like squash bags because they have faded to a sickly green. My husband and I tend to reuse things.

Besides, every store we visited was sold out of new jack-o’-lantern bags.

Then it snowed in October. My pumpkin bags looked like nauseous snowman heads peeking from under a snowbank. Snowmen were haunting me.

The upcoming holiday season may be different for many families for various reasons. Fewer people are traveling to visit family members.

How do you navigate our “new normal” that seems abnormal?

Fortunately, we have many ways to connect, and food can bring people together. Perhaps a silver lining of the pandemic is the increased number of people cooking and dining together at home.

Family meals engage our senses, including sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing, as we enjoy food and laugh together.

Nutritionally, family meals make a difference. According to researchers, meals eaten with family members include less fat, less soda pop and more fruits and vegetables.

Family meals also tend to be higher in calcium, fiber and other essential nutrients. Children who eat balanced meals with their families are less likely to become overweight.

Children who eat more meals with their families are more likely to earn mostly A’s and B’s, compared with kids who eat fewer times with their families. Children who eat with their families improve their communication skills and build their vocabularies.

What if we cannot be together in person for various reasons?

Maybe we need to gather outside a window with glass between us and phones in hand.

We also can gather in electronic ways, such as through the nowfamiliar-to-most Zoom online platform. You can be your own “Brady bunch” on a screen. Or maybe FaceBook Live, Skype or a speaker phone works for you.

Plan a fun and memorable gathering. Consider a virtual dinner party with a theme.

A virtual dinner party doesn’t have to be fancy, but it can be creative. How about a “make your own” pizza virtual dinner party? Maybe the family “gourmet” can provide

easy recipes and a grocery list ahead of time. Perhaps guests can do a live demonstration of making an easy appetizer or dessert.

Provide conversation starters for your guests: What were the popular TV shows when you were young?

What was the best gift you ever gave or received?

We have resources and programs through NDSU Extension that encourage the practice of family mealtimes. See https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/familytable to sign up for the free monthly e-newsletter and our Facebook page that provides regular ideas. We also have an abundance of conversation starters.

For the next couple of columns, I also have an opportunity for a gift drawing for all of my readers.

To celebrate 2021, I will be giving away at least 50 colorful calendars with 12 recipes and lots of food and nutrition tips. By Nov. 30, 2020, email me your 1) name, 2) address and 3) a topic you would like me to consider writing about in the future. I will add your name to my electronic “hat” and randomly draw a bunch of names on Dec. 1.

100 years ago, Americans wore masks to eradicate the Spanish flu.

While some did it grudgingly the message was the same then as now:

Wear a mask. Avoid large gatherings.

Social distance. Wash your hands.

It wasn't political, just people caring for their neighbors.

Do it. Wear a mask.

Guest Editorial

They did it in 1918, we can do it now The words of Dr. Deborah Birx were stark.

On a visit to North Dakota last week, Birx, the White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator, laid it on the line: “. . . in your grocery stores and in your restaurants and frankly even in your hotels, this is the least use of masks that we have we seen in retail establishments of any place we have been."

She’s criss-crossed the country, and we’re the worst.

Perhaps it’s time to learn a lesson from our ancestors.

More than a hundred years ago, the world and the nation were facing what we are today.

In 1918-1919 a virus spread worldwide, infecting about 500 million people and killing 50 million. That was about one-third of the world’s population. In the United States, some 675,000 died.

Young and old were victims of that flu pandemic. Troops moving around the world in ships and on trains were hit particularly hard. In fact, more U.S. soldiers died from the 1918 flu than were killed in battle.

A hundred years ago, there was no vaccine and no antibiotics for treatment.

Schools, bars, theaters and businesses were shuttered and bodies piled up in makeshift morgues before the virus was brought under control. The prescription was isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants and limited public gatherings.

And masks.

Masks of gauze, cheesecloth and fabric became the front lines in the battle against the virus. Medical authorities urged the wearing of masks to slow the spread of the disease. But like today there were protesters – called mask slackers – who objected to wearing face coverings. There were protests, petitions and defiant bare-faced gatherings.

History repeats itself.

Today the virus is raging throughout the country with warnings that

the worst is yet to come. Medical professionals once again are telling us to isolate, quarantine, wash hands frequently, use disinfectants, limit public gatherings.

And wear masks.

In North Dakota, upwards of 40,000 people have been infected by COVID-19.

Nearly 15,600 of them are between the ages of 20 and 39. Only four in that age demographic have died.

Just 7,650, approximately, of the total number of those infected are over 60, but 442 of them died.

Put another way, young people aged 20-39 make up 40 percent of the COVID cases and less than 1 percent of the deaths. Those over 60 make up less than 20 percent of the cases but 93 percent of the deaths.

Draw your own conclusions if you wish, but it’s clear that younger people who are more resistant to disease are contracting the virus and passing it on to their older friends, neighbors and family who are more devastated by the disease.

Meanwhile, the infamous curve isn’t even close to flattening. It just keeps climbing and climbing.

The result, in a state where people seem highly resistant to government mandates, cities one by one are adopting measures requiring the citizens to mask up whenever they’re in any public place.

This week, in a campaign by the North Dakota Newspaper Association Education Foundation, newspapers across North Dakota are running ads calling out the success stories of 1918.

The message notes that then, as now, some did it grudgingly even while the message then was the same as it is today: wear a mask, avoid large gatherings, social distance and wash your hands.

“It wasn’t political,” the message continues, “just people caring for their neighbors.”

They did it. We can too.

Expectations of our newest justice The widespread expression of hopes, fears and predictions about the forthcoming votes and opinions of Justice Amy Coney Barrett reflect a practice as old as the republic itself. Since the beginning, mere mention of a prospective nominee to the high court has inspired advice, counsel and warnings from the four corners of the nation.

In 1812, Thomas Jefferson issued a stark warning to his friend, President James Madison, who contemplated the nomination to the court of Joseph Story, a Harvard Law School professor and eminent scholar. “He will out-Marshall, John Marshall,” Jefferson wrote, hoping that the prospect of yet another justice with strong nationalist views would save Madison from making a grievous error.

Madison was convinced that Jefferson was wrong. Justice Story, acclaimed by scholars as one of the nation’s greatest jurists, formed a close partnership with Chief Justice Marshall, provoking laments and regrets from Madison.

President Harry Truman, not one to mince words, expressed deep disappointment of his appointment of Tom Clark to the Supreme Court.

He described Justice Clark as that “damn fool from Texas,” and the “biggest mistake” of his presidency.

History teaches us that the expectations of Justice Barrett on mat-

ters of constitutional interpretation, interaction with other members of the court, and how she values the independence of the judiciary in a polarized era, may be more complex than we think. In fact, history tells us that presidents frequently are disappointed with the decisions and opinions of their nominees, thus foiling the goal of shaping and influencing the court.

President Theodore Roosevelt was beside himself when his nominee, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, two years after joining the court, voted against the administration’s anti-trust policies. Roosevelt told a press conference that he “could carve out of a banana a judge with more backbone than that.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt expected that Justice Felix Frankfurter would be a “flaming liberal, but turned out in many areas to be a rank conservative.”

President Dwight D. Eisenhower could relate to Truman’s disappointment in the performance of Justice Clark. Ike believed that his nomination of California Gov. Earl Warren would bring to the Court a reliable conservative. However, Chief Justice Warren proceeded to lead what scholars have described as the “Warren Court Revolution,” a roughly 15- year period in which the Court overturned numerous precedents, including landmark rulings involving civil rights and liberties.

Eisenhower characterized the nomination of Warren to the bench, as “the biggest damn mistake” of his presidency. He harbored similar regrets about his appointment of Justice William Brennan, whom many regard as the intellectual leader of the Warren Court.

The list of presidential disappointments in the behavior of their judicial nominees is long, certainly long enough to cast a shadow of doubt over the expectations surrounding any newly minted member of the court, including Justice Barrett. Richard Nixon felt betrayed by Justice Harry Blackmun, whom Nixon believed would be a consistent conservative, but over the course of his career, Blackmun seemed to move to the “left” and became a leader of the progressive wing of the court. Blackmun disagreed with that assessment of his

career, insisting in an interview that he “hadn’t moved to the left; the rest of the court, rather, had moved to the right.”

Ronald Reagan hoped that his nomination of the conservative Arizona Republican Justice Sandra Day O’Connor would guarantee the fifth, and decisive, vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. Justice O’Connor never met that expectation, which led a frustrated Justice Antonin Scalia to dismiss her as “irrational.” Reagan was likewise disappointed in Justice Anthony Kennedy, who voted to uphold Roe. Kennedy, of course, disappointed many conservatives for voting for same-sex-marriage and, more generally, for upholding equal protection of the law for the LGBT community. George H. W. Bush expressed disappointment in Justice David Souter for upholding Roe. Presidential efforts to shape the court’s jurisprudence, history reveals, often have been unavailing. As Chief Justice Rehnquist explained, “Neither the President nor the appointee can foresee what issues will come before the Court during the tenure of the appointees.” Rehnquist added that even if the nominee “agrees” with previous decisions that she “may well disagree as to future cases involving other questions when, as judges, they study briefs and hear arguments.”

America will learn, soon enough, whether expressions of hope or protests of fear surrounding Justice Barrett’s prospective opinions and decisions prevail. But let us watch closely and determine if, over time, she produces a record that pleases or disappoints her benefactor. ~~~ Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

Foreign influence in N.D.…

We don’t often think about this on the northern tier, and those of us who live in southern North Dakota don’t even see it. There is a considerable amount of Canadian influence across the state, and it’s been around a long time.

Think about all the Canadianowned companies doing business here: Canad Inns, Canadian Pacific Railway, Viterra, Bourgault, Degelman, Enbridge, Tim Horton’s, Seed Master and Vesey’s to name a few.

Radio, too, has an influence. CJOBAM 680 can be heard as far south as the South Dakota state line, CHABAM 800 is crystal clear across the northwest, and numerous FM stations can be heard clearly across the northern tier. You see Canadian flags fly just about everywhere in the state, “Oh Canada” is sometimes played at sporting events and I’ve seen Canadian politicians actually welcome U.S. politicians to North Dakota. The influence became even more obvious in the early and mid ‘90s when Canadians, mostly those from the prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, were spending a lot of money in North Dakota.

The Mandan News used to publish a supplement called Inside Business.

It broke down the value of the Canadian dollar in the state’s four largest cities for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993. It was on Jan. 1, 1991, when the nationwide goods and services tax began in Canada and people from the prairies flooded into North Dakota to make purchases and avoid the federal government tax. That brought huge amounts of loonies into the state, and for a short time, North Dakota actually had more Canadian money than did the Northwest Territories and New Brunswick and had the equivalent in Canadian dollars as Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Most of that money flowed into the state from the city of Winnipeg.

It didn’t last long, about three months, but for that short period of time in the early 1990s, North Dakota could have economically been a de facto Canadian province. If North Dakota hypothetically seceded and joined Canada as its 11th province, it wouldn’t have been the poorest province. It would be interesting

to see if the Bank of North Dakota kept data about the Canadian dollar back to 1991. That would prove the economic impact because all loonies were cleared through the Bank of North Dakota.

There’s other Canadian influence here that has nothing to do with economics. Hundreds of marriages have taken place over the years with people from North Dakota and Canada. Go into any of the border towns: Pembina, Walhalla, Langdon, Cando, Rolla, Belcourt, Bottineau and Crosby, and ask around. You’ll find any number of couples from either side of the border.

There are a lot of Canadians who are in the state working in various levels of sports. There are people who have played in the Canadian Football League who are coaching in the state now. We have every day Canadians living here who like to go “south” for the winter, and high school teams sometimes compete with Canadian hockey and basketball teams.

Perhaps the biggest influence is with CP Rail. It owns track across the state, from Portal to Hankinson, and has hundreds of employees working in North Dakota. They are, of course, Americans who are working on the steel rail for CP, but their paychecks originate in Calgary. That Alberta city is where Enbridge has its headquarters, and thousands of workers came down from Calgary to work in the Bakken during the oil boom.

One could argue that this is all superficial, but what it boils down to is money, and money translates to prosperity, and yes, even today, there is a small percentage of North Dakota’s gross domestic product that is based on the Canadian dollar.

But it’s always been this way. We just don’t think about it. You can go back in history to territorial days and find cross-border exchanges all the time.

Two Canadian companies, the Northwest Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company, were the first two Canadian organizations in the 1790s to do business in what is now North Dakota. Back then Canada didn’t exist as we know it, and they were spending the British pound, but nonetheless, it was other than U.S. currency being traded in what is now Pembina County.

Minnesota doesn’t have this, outside of International Falls and Roseau, nor does Montana. In this respect, Canadians favor North Dakota just as they do Vermont, New York, Upper Peninsula Michigan, and Washington.

NDSU Extension, FSA to host Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2 Webinar Producers who intend to apply for assistance through Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2 (CFAP 2.0) will have an opportunity to learn about the program during a webinar that North Dakota State University Extension and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) are hosting on Monday, Nov. 16, at 11 a.m. Central time.

On Sept. 21, the FSA started accepting applications for CFAP 2.0.

CFAP 2.0 provides direct relief to agricultural producers who continue to face market disruptions and associated costs because of COVID-19.

“CFAP 2.0 has been updated to include new payment categories for specialty crops and other commodities and expanded the eligibility for some commodities,” says Brad Thykeson, state executive director of the North Dakota FSA office.

“This webinar will provide guidance for producers on the application process.”

The North Dakota FSA will discuss the following topics: • Sales commodities, specialty crops and specialty livestock • Livestock, dairy, eggs and broilers • Acreage-based crops • Payment limitation and compliance This a good opportunity for North Dakota crop and livestock producers to learn about the program, according to Ron Haugen, NDSU Extension farm management specialist.

“Almost all producers would be eligible for some type of payment,” he says.

To register for the webinar, visit https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/farmmanagement.

Participants may ask questions during the live webinar. The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be archived at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/farmmanagement for later viewing.

Seeking Joy As I was walking home with my son last week, it all of a sudden struck me at how much joy I had at the moment. There was no monumental event that was happening, nothing profound was being discussed, and there wasn’t something extraordinary happening. In fact, it was actually just a very average day and normal conversation about what had happened in school that day along with the things he had done. Nonetheless, I was filled with such contentment that I felt a surge of joy.

I also felt a surge of joy and contentment after I did some fall cleaning of my windows. It didn’t take me long to clean the screens and wipe the windows down, but it sure gave me a new perspective on the world inside as well as outside the house. In fact, seeing them the next morning almost shocked me, as I didn’t realize how dirty they really had been until I saw them in the bright morning light.

One of those things is pretty average yet always fun. The other is mundane and sometimes dreaded.

Yet, both brought joy.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized why they brought me such joy, and I came to some conclusions: 1. The first involved love.

2. The second involved satisfaction.

3. I choose to seek the joy in both.

You see, both days were particularly difficult for me. A “Monday,” if you will. So, I purposely sought out things that I knew would bring me joy, such as spending time with my son and accomplishing something that I felt I could see a difference in, that needed to be done, and

Spotlight on Economics: Selfish behavior has economic costs

By Robert R. Hearne, Professor NDSU Agribusiness and Applied Economics Department Economists believe that markets provide incentives for efficient allocation of resources.

Whenever I teach economics, I feature what I consider to be the culmination of the neoclassical economic model, The First Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics, which was paraphrased by Adam Smith in “Wealth of Nations” long before the neoclassical model was developed.

Simply stated, and not directly quoted, individual actors acting selfishly can create a result that the government cannot improve upon.

Although this can be considered to be a conclusion of the neoclassical model, it is also a point of departure for much of economics. Economics gets more interesting once the assumptions of the model, including the assumptions of perfect competition, are dropped and we start to look at imperfect markets, asymmetric information, irrational behavior and other market failures.

My course in Natural Resource Economics features the economics of many market failures. These include public goods and externalities.

Public goods are characterized by being non-excludable and nonrival in consumption. This implies that private markets cannot be expected to adequately provide these goods because extracting payment from the consumers of these goods is difficult.

Externalities occur when third parties are impacted, positively or negatively, from an economic transaction. When we have negative externalities, such as pollution, the transaction causes harm to third parties. And unregulated private

markets would overproduce these goods. When we have positive externalities, such as an individual homeowner’s effort to beautify a neighborhood, third parties receive benefits, and private markets would tend to underproduce these items.

Of course, health care is a service that is characterized by positive externalities and often nonexcludability. You can’t exclude yourself from benefiting from the efforts made to reduce the spread of smallpox and polio. I consistently have used public health campaigns as an example of public goods that are not expected to be provided adequately by the private sector.

Of course, our individual efforts to maintain social distance and wear masks produce positive externalities for our communities.

Maintaining the public safety protocols that are strongly suggested by medical and epidemiological experts, and are mandated in many jurisdictions, not only protects the wider community from disease but allows those of us who are vulnerable to the impacts of the disease to better enjoy our communities and patronize businesses with less fear of dangerous transmission. Indeed, some economists have deemed the act of not following public health and safety protocols as a negative externality, similar to pollution, because it can bring harm upon other people.

Unfortunately, the use of masks has become highly political and efforts to promote public health and safety have collided with a selfish sense of personal freedom. I believe that another example of a public safety norm might be illuminating.

To an economist, a norm provides an expectation of how others will act. If we have assurance as to the actions of others, we have better information about how we should

act.

In North America, we follow a standard norm of driving on the right-hand side of the road. This norm has been codified, but it follows a standard good practice of traffic safety and courtesy. Certainly, this norm is much more highly accepted and followed than other traffic standards, such as speed limits.

Because we have assurance that others will drive on the right, we feel relatively safe on our roads and this enables the type of secure movement of traffic that facilitates economic activity. No controversy occurs over an individual’s right to drive on the left-hand side of the road.

Of course, the norm of driving on the right-hand side has been a common practice and accepted for many generations. Newer norms, such as the recommended practices for reducing the spread of a pandemic, may take awhile to gain a high rate of acceptance.

But we should accept that some norms will change, at least for the immediate future. The common courtesy of shaking hands might be lost for years.

So another failure of individual selfishness to produce the best economic results is the failure to follow norms that provide assurance to others. In societies where individuals are expected to follow evolving public health and safety norms, the economic activity in these areas would not be hampered by the fear to engage with society, to patronize businesses, to educate children, and to produce goods and services. In societies where we have no assurance of adherence to public safety norms, we expect limited economic growth and many other constraints to societal well-being.

NDSU Extension Notes

was worthwhile to me at the time. It struck me that THIS is what people are saying when they mention that it’s important to seek joy.

There are a lot of difficult things going on in this world right now that could easily suck us into the void of unease and despair. But maybe, just maybe, if we choose joy rather than waiting for it to happen to us, we can stay in a place that helps us cope.

One of my favorite people of my childhood was Mister Rogers. I remember watching that show and feeling such calm and peace while watching. A quote that I have heard several times from him in the last few years is: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” I believe that we could also adopt the action of finding the helpers and good, and doing so would help us seek our joy.

Think of the positivity that could come out of that. Think of the uplifting and inspiring thoughts and maybe even actions you would be driven to if you looked for the helpers, if you looked to the positives.

It doesn’t matter how bad the day is, I often have to remind myself that there are people that have it worse.

It’s also never as bad as it could be.

Something that could be helpful when finding your joy could be to remember those things, to purposely seek those things that are good in the day, and to find those helpers.

Scientific studies of the brain have concluded that thinking positively not only changes the chemistry of the brain but also the pathways the brain forms. In short: positive means more positive and peace; negatives means more negative and unrest. It is much better for you and everyone around you to seek joy.

Here are some tips to help you do just that: 1. Acknowledge Your Feelings - It is helpful to acknowledge how you feel. Feelings are valid, and it doesn’t help to ignore them. Accept your feelings and then take a deep breath. The important thing is to not dwell on the negative feelings. Give yourself 5 minutes in those feelings (a personal pity party) and then start moving.

2. Move - Get up and move. It doesn’t matter if it’s for a walk, if it’s to clean your house, or if it’s to plan

a trip. Just get moving. When we are in motion, it is easier for our minds to move on because our bodies have.

There is a song by TobyMac called “Move (Keep Walking)” that I often listen to when things are difficult.

Find a song or an activity that will get you to move and use it to help.

3. Take Time for Yourself - It doesn’t even have to be that long of a time. All it might take is 15 minutes every day where you just sit and find peace. Do something you enjoy. Make it all about you, especially if you are a person that serves people all day either at work or family. Start serving yourself as well.

4. Start a Gratitude Journal - The more we focus on the positive and being grateful, the more we begin to think positively. I have a great friend who does a “FAB Five” with me. It’s something we started YEARS ago, and it’s just our thing. We send each other a message of 5 things that are going right in our world for the day.

It can be something small to something that is life-changing for us. We send it if we are having a bad day, if the other is having a bad day, or just out of the blue as a little reminder of what life should be all about. If you don’t want to share with others, get a little notebook and just write the date and 3 quick things that you are grateful for at the moment. It gets you thinking in a positive direction and becomes something your mind will automatically go to when needed.

5. Help Others - One of the best things to help yourself find the joy in life is to give to others. Helping them, caring for them, doing things for them, even just visiting with others not only gives you a sense of satisfaction but also helps them. Find ways to share, help, and do for others. You will not only find joy but give joy as well.

However you decide to seek joy, make it a priority. You are worth it.

NDSU Extension has many publications on many topics. If you would like to discuss them or look for ideas to help you find new ways of seeking joy, feel free to visit our website at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ extension, call 256-2560, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu.

Don’t let the world or situations around you drag you down. Be the person that seeks joy to lift the world up. You won’t regret it.

ND Women’s Business Summit goes virtual Female professionals and women in business sign up to North Dakota’s virtual Women’s Business Summit to be held on November 10, 2020, to reach their next level of growth.

The Summit, hosted by North Dakota Women’s Business Center (NDWBC), is designed to help women connect with other successful women and find training in the business community. The Women’s Business Summit offers three training tracks: inspirational, professionals and entrepreneurial.

Vice President and Retail Manager Amy Mazigian at Gate City Bank is one of these growth-oriented women who is excited about the conference.

“I attend this event every year with my co-workers. It’s a great event to network with others and afterwards, discuss as a group what our takeaways were,” Mazigain explained.

“I look forward to the inspiration and hearing from other women what their successes and challenges are.”

Mazigian encourages other women to attend.

“You’re guaranteed to have takeaways that you’ll implement immediately.”

This summit is different than other years because of the impacts of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NDWBC Program Director Laiken Aune shares about the challenges and rewards of hosting a virtual event.

“After we decided to make the move to virtual, our focus became engagement. How do we deliver the content and training while allowing space for the impactful networking attendees appreciate and expect from this event? It’s going to look and feel different in many ways, but we are confident the end result will be the same, inspiration, connection and growth.“ Tickets for the ND Women’s Business Summit can be purchased at www.ndwbc.com/summit.

Obituaries Frank D. Hoffarth

Funeral services were held Saturday, November 7, 2020, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Grand Forks for Frank D. Hoffarth, 57, of Grand Forks, who died Sunday, November 1, 2020, at the Altru Hospital in Grand Forks.

Frank Hoffarth was born July 11, 1963, in Langdon, the son of Ronald and Grace (Girodat) Hoffarth. He grew up in Langdon and graduated from Langdon High school in 1981. He worked for Trosen Ford in Larimore and then moved to Grand Forks to work the next 36 years at H.E. Eversons. He worked in many positions over the years ending as

the IT and warehouse manager. He married his best friend and soulmate, Janice Rieger, April 7, 1989 at Holy Family Catholic Church in Grand Forks, and together they raised their two children and his puppy. He had the biggest heart.

He was the first to volunteer to help anyone. His world had two seasons, lake season at Stony Point with their lake family and then back to UND for football, hockey and volleyball.

He and Janice had season tickets for 30 years, and he never missed a home game at the new REA arena.

He and Janice, plus many friends, traveled to multiple away hockey games creating great memories each year, but his great joy was his two children and grandson - they were his whole world.

He is survived by his wife, Janice;

children Morgan Hoffarth and Evan (Madison) Hoffarth and grandson Bentley - all of Grand Forks; mother Grace Hoffarth of Grand Forks; sister Betty Nelson of Grand Forks; special cousins: Arlene Hoffarth, Don (Ronda) Hoffarth, Jolene (Steve) Kinzler and Kathy (Greg) Krause; and brothers and sistersin-laws: Ron Rieger, Barb Solway, Delilah (Vern) Thingvold, Cathy (Roger) Jones - all from Grand Forks and Mary (Everett) Hoffner of Esmond. He is preceded in death by his father, Ronald Hoffarth, and father and mother-in-law John and Arkie Rieger.

Carol was born in Devils Lake on July 14, 1936 to Othmar and Louise Helten Schuler. When she was 8 years old they settled in Munich, where she attended public school.

She graduated from Munich High School in 1954. While at Munich High, she was a cheerleader and played on the girls’ basketball team.

She also played the clarinet in the school band. She worked on the school newspaper and the yearbook staff. After high school, she began her education at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minn. After two years she transferred to Valley City State College in Valley City where she completed her bachelor’s degree. She began her professional career teaching elementary education in Dickey. While teaching there she met her future husband, Donald Valenta. They were married in Munich on June 14, 1960. They made their home on a farm in Dickey.

In 1966, they moved to Santa Ana, Calif. She taught at St. Cecelia’s school for two years before devoting herself full-time to raising their

family of five children. She was truly devoted to her family. She was very involved in their children’s education and activities. She was busy taking the kids to music lessons, helping with homework and running the household for seven.

She prepared large Sunday dinners and was a fabulous cook and well known for her delicious baking. She happily attended almost every special occasion for her grandchildren and enjoyed having them visit the family home. Christmas was her favorite time of year. Each holiday she prepared a spectacular feast for the family of 20. She was an avid reader, spent time completing beautiful puzzles, and enjoyed playing the piano. She was a long-time member of the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Costa Mesa. She and Don were married for 60 years. They planned many unforgettable family camping trips to many of the national parks. In the later years, they enjoyed taking road trips, visiting historical sites, and going to dinner and the movies.

Carol is survived by her spouse, Donald; their children: Lori (Chris) Rouse, Candace Leard, David (Anjanette) Valenta, Steven (Jasmin) Valenta; her nine grandchildren: Travis Valenta, Ian and Brendon Rouse, Jacquelyn (Cassidy) and Kenneth Leard, Madeline and Rachel Valenta, Bradley and Gavin Valenta; two sisters: Janet (Leonard) Dyer and Elaine Schuler; and two brothers: Kenneth (Marcie) Schuler and Charles Schuler. She is preceded in death by her son, James Valenta.

Guy Lee, 81, of Langdon and formerly of Walhalla, passed away Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon.

Guy Robert Lee was born on August 28, 1939, in Walhalla, to Harry M. and Rosa (Jonason) Lee. He grew up in Walhalla and attended Walhalla Public School. He then helped out on his family’s farm and from there went on to a career in carpentry and cement finishing. He was an avid hunter and greatly enjoyed deer season with his close family. He was passionate about gardening and loved to tend to his harvest and share it with his family and friends.

He married the love of his life, Kathleen Dunnigan, on March 23, 1962, in Walhalla. He loved spend-

ing time with their two daughters, son-in-laws, and grandchildren. His faith was very important to him, and he was a member of the Baptist Church in Walhalla for many years.

Surviving Guy are his daughters: Marion (Darrell) Fox of Langdon and MaryJo (Chad) Otto of Chaffee; grandchildren Delaney and Destyn Otto; and brother Miles Lee. He was preceded in death by his parents, beloved wife Kathleen, cherished brothers Boyd Lee and Perry Lee, and in-laws Joseph and Hazel Dunnigan.

Due to COVID-19, there will be a private graveside service at Hillside Cemetery in Walhalla.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be directed to Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders, C/O Mickey Cain, 210 8th Ave., Langdon, ND 59249.

“Old Photos, Fresh Connections” I enjoy a good photograph, especially those of dear family members. Except for two pictures of some friends, the framed photos in my office are of family.

I’ve hung two of those pictures together. The first is of my mother and her siblings in a formal setting with their father, my Grandpa Meppelink. Mom is in her early twenties.

The original photo would be close to seventy-five years old.

The picture hanging next to that first picture is about the same age and is equally precious to me. It pictures my dad and his brothers and sisters standing with their father, my Grandpa Barsness. While the men in the picture are wearing neckties and suspenders, it’s not at all formal. I’m guessing the background is the family farm in southern Saskatchewan.

There are more family pictures on the wall around the corner from those first two. Three frames hold six pictures of my wife and me, our three kids and spouses, and four of our grandkids. They were taken during a family Christmas in Boston and while we were in Maine to celebrate our granddaughter’s high school graduation.

If you’ve been generous enough to read this far, you know more about me than you did just a few minutes ago. You know my mother’s maiden name. You know where my father was raised. You would guess that I’m married and that my wife and I have three children. You know that we have at least one grandchild who is college-age.

I’ve enjoyed sharing those details of my life with you -- details recorded by pictures and illuminated by a few remarks. But it’s all history.

Every photograph is limited to the past, and while I may be happy to introduce myself to you, if I’m interested in developing a friendship, I need to do more than show you pictures and offer commentary.

I think we’d agree that the present-tense sharing of our lives enriches human connections. While a single snapshot can offer history, real-time connection nurtures the give-and-take communion that is at the heart of healthy relationships.

This truth about our human contacts is crucial in our relationship with God. It’s why God calls us to prioritize understanding and knowing Him (Jeremiah 9:23 and 24). This give-and-take connection is at the core of a life of faith.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “So faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). He underscores the Scripture content of faith -- salvation comes to those who believe the true facts of the gospel.

We are reminded that the realities of the gospel, the truths of Scripture, are more than historical records and religious reflections. Again, Paul writes, “the gospel… is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).

As grateful as we are for the historical foundation of the Christian faith, the spiritual influence of that faith is front-and-center, here-andnow, for all who believe. The initial proclamation of the gospel serves as an introduction to God (and His love) and Jesus (and His grace). But following the introduction, God continues to pursue present-tense relationship with each of us.

In defending the gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul reminded the philosophers in Athens, “We live and move in him, can’t get away from him!” (Acts 17:28). I invite you to read the Bible. Learn the history of God and His activity in the lives of people. And once you’ve been introduced, join God in His pursuit of a real-time connection with you. This is the Christian faith, the here-andnow sharing of our lives with the One who loves us and gave Himself for us (Galatians 2:20).

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women.

However, with an early diagnosis, five-year survival rates are as high as 100%. Finding a tumor early is possible through regular mammograms—a procedure that can now be done through 3D technology.

Previously, 2D mammograms only allowed for images of the breast from the top and the side. With 3D imagery, a more comprehensive look at the breast is now available, allowing for a more precise detection and fewer false alarms.

“With 3D mammograms, the radiologist who looks at the mammogram is able to get a better look at the breast and diagnose more accurately,” said Tiffany Boespflug, Women’s Way coordinator. “3D mammograms are also great for women with dense breasts since we’re able to get a better look at the tissue.”

This November, Community Health Service Inc. in Grafton will be hosting a 3D mammography event, where eligible women can schedule an appointment for a 3D mammogram. The event will take place Friday, November 13th at Community Health Service Inc. in Grafton, North Dakota. To schedule an appointment for the 3D mammography event in Grafton, call 701-352-4048.

Women who may be eligible are: • Ages 40-64 who live in North Dakota • Meet Women’s Way income guidelines

• Uninsured or underinsured (can’t afford to pay health insurance deductible or co-pays) “COVID-19 has created uncertainties which have unfortunately led to women putting off preventive screenings,” said Boespflug, Women’s Way Program Coordinator. “Mobile mammography events help increase access to care.”

Women’s Way provides a way to pay for most breast cancer screenings for eligible North Dakotans.

Find out more about screenings for

breast cancer, including options for financial help available, by visiting Women’s Way (www.ndhealth. gov/womensway), Medicaid Expansion (www.nd.gov/dhs/medicaidexpansion), and Marketplace insurance plans (www.healthcare. gov/marketplace).

Brush with the Bunch

A big thank you to Flo Holen for sending in her contribution to this series “One of my early paintings!“ The following in Flo‘s words is her article: “I thought it would be interesting to attend the Brush Bunch. But, what would I do? Well, thanks to the group it has been a great adventure! Lori Gray took me under her wing. We did the Donna Dewberry method of painting- lots of wax paper, double loading the brushes! It was a perfect way to start. The group is always bringing new ideas. We have class instructors, children's projects and classes. I feel very encouraged and challenged to learn and create; any medium is welcomed. Often we laugh more that we paint, but in these trying times “laughter and art are good medicine.“ Thanks again, Flo, for the fine words. From looking at your display, Lori was either one heck of an instructor or you were one heck of a student! It may have been both.

We, at the Brush Bunch, know that you will tackle anything. BB, help me as I am out of ideas. From random thoughts: “When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.“ Is this Spring? Enjoy each day, and God Bless!

Library Corner

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten at the Cavalier County Library Families are invited to join the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program at the Cavalier County Library. The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program is a nationwide challenge that encourages parents and caregivers to regularly read aloud to their children. By reading just one book a night, families can reach the 1,000-book goal in three years and provide their children essential early literacy skills.

Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is being read to during early childhood. Reading to children from an early age can help close the vocabulary gap and prepare children to enter kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed. Most importantly, sharing books with children promotes a lifelong love of books and reading.

Jake’s take on sports

This week’s Pigskin Winner is

Jackson Delvo of Langdon

By Jake Kulland

He won in a tie with a score of 10 out of 14 and won $10 in Pigskin Bucks.

Thank you to everyone who played PIGSKIN PICKS in the Cavalier County Republican.

COVID-19 Cases rising, but the postseason rolls on; Dakota Bowl still to be held in Fargo For athletes and coaches of fall sports in our area, this has been on very long and stressful week, hoping they can get each game as healthy as possible. We are deep in the playoffs for high school football, and we congratulate the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals football team, along the gridiron squad from Cavalier on both making it to the semifinals of the Class A 11 Man and 9 Man playoffs. If each team wins on Nov. 7, they both will once again advance to the 2020 Dakota Bowl, which is still going to be held at the Fargodome on Nov. 13. There are a few changes, as only 500 tickets will be given to each participating team, and they will allow 60 minutes between each state title game (4 in all), to allow the Dome to be cleared after each game, and get ready for the next.

What this means is that the first game of the day at the Dakota Bowl is the Class A 11 Man Championship, and with the new guidelines it's going to be scheduled for an 8:15am kickoff (You read that correctly!), which will be followed by the 9 Man Title Game at around

THANK YOU

Cavalier County Commission thanks the employees, law enforcement, healthcare systems, public health office, citizens, schools, churches and businesses for their support on taking steps to help flatten the curve.

The Cavalier County Commissioners encourage the community to continue to follow Public Health’s recommendations.

11:30am. Not the most ideal situation, but I'm sure both teams would be willing to play at 3:00am just to get the opportunity for a chance to play for all the marbles. For the Cards, it would be their fourth straight Dakota Bowl appearance, and the second straight for the Tornadoes.

Postseason Volleyball gets underway this week The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team is on a 14 match winning streak, as they head to the postseason, which begins with the Region 4 Girls Volleyball Tournament Nov. 10-14. The tourney is going to run a lot differently this year, as there will not be one venue for the tournament, which normally is held at the Devils Lake Sports Center.

Due to COVID-19, they are instead holding tournament matches at the site of the higher seed. The Lady Cards won the regular season title with a win at North Star on Nov. 2, so that means the road to the State B Volleyball Tournament will go through Langdon. The defending state champion Cardinals will have their first match of the tourney Nov. 10 at 7:00 p.m. versus Dunseith, again to be held at the Langdon High School gym. It is such a huge advantage to have what the team hopes will be three home matches, a Region 4 Title, and another trip to the Fargodome for

the State B Volleyball Tournament, which will be held Nov. 19-21.

It was nice first step to many good things for the Cardinals, and they hope it will lead them to achieving many big goals in the postseason.

Wrestling practice begins Nov. 9 As fall sports begin to get to the latter parts of their seasons, winter sports are beginning. We told you last week that the Langdon Blades had begun practice for all levels of hockey at Dakota Spirit Arena, and now it is time for wrestling to begin.

Shawn Horgan is once again coaching the Pembina County North team, which is a co-op of North Border, Cavalier and Langdon, which sent two wrestlers to grapple with the team last year.

While guidelines have not been completely worked out yet at press time, it will be interesting how they will run wrestling this year in the corona virus era that we live in.

More information on that and basketball guidelines will be coming out in the weeks ahead.

Deer season is here We will leave by saying a very big good luck with to all of our area deer hunters. Deer season began at noon on Nov. 6, and is not in progress. Remembers hunters if you take down a buck or doe, that's one less we all have to worry about hitting this winter. Go get 'em!!

"See ya!" Next week!

Baesler asks students to apply for superintendent’s cabinet State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler is inviting North Dakota students to apply for the Superintendent’s Student Cabinet, a group of young people who offer Baesler ideas and advice about the state’s K-12 education system.

Students from public and private schools in grades three through 12 are encouraged to seek a Cabinet position. The application form is posted on the Department of Public Instruction’s website. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23. Cabinet members are appointed to serve for 18 months.

The Cabinet normally meets every three months at the state Capitol. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, meetings have been virtual, and more frequent. The Cabinet includes students from different grades, backgrounds, cultures, school sizes, and regions within North Dakota.

“The student voice is important in North Dakota. No one knows better than our students what is

“The testing isn’t always the definition of being smart. Some people may not be good test-takers, but they might be really smart otherwise,” Frohlich said. “We need to find better ways to measure that.”

Frohlich described the Cabinet as a way of amplifying the student voice in education.

“It’s a place where your voice can be heard in a wider area,” he said.

“If I had told my principal what needs to be done, it might happen here, but it might not happen in all the other schools around the state.

It’s good to have a wider broadcasting area.”

Baesler founded the Student Cabinet in April 2015. Members are appointed to serve for 18 months.

Applications are ranked by an evaluation team outside of the superintendent’s office. The present Cabinet has 19 members. The new Superintendent’s Student Cabinet will be the fourth in the state’s history.

The Student Cabinet has successfully advocated for the North Dakota Legislature’s approval of bills to protect students against bullying and increase access to advanced school coursework and early childhood education.

“The Superintendent’s Student Cabinet is a key player in our educational process,” Baesler said. “We generate ideas, discuss issues, and gain knowledge from each other. I have this message for our students – applying for the Superintendent’s Student Cabinet is well worth your time.”

Additional information about the Superintendent’s Student Cabinet is available on the Department of Public Instruction’s website here.

working in our schools, and where improvements can be made,” Baesler said. “This is a chance for young people to join a group that gives opinions, advice, and suggestions to our state’s policymakers, including the state superintendent and the North Dakota Legislature.

“Members of the Superintendent’s Student Cabinet have suggested policy initiatives that the Legislature has adopted, and its members have been an invaluable source of information about how their schools are managing the COVID-19 pandemic,” Baesler said.

Cabinet member Sheyenne Waletzko, who is a junior at Lisbon High School, said her service has given her the opportunity to talk about education issues with peers, and listen to the perspectives of students from other parts of North Dakota.

“It was really interesting to be able to discuss things that you’ve always wanted to change in your school, and to actually be making a difference,” Waletzko said. “Instead of just talking about it, you know that what you’re saying is going to be heard by people who can use it to make a difference in schools everywhere.

“The people who are on the Cabinet run it. We all get to give our ideas. Every single meeting, you always have a say in what’s going on,” she said. “It was like a big team. You never felt uncomfortable.

It was a really great way to express your ideas.”

Ayden Frohlich, a sophomore at Bismarck’s Legacy High School, said Cabinet members discussed ways to de-emphasize standardized tests, such as the ACT, as a measurement of student achievement.

VOLLEYBALL

Lady Cards rattle off two more wins to clinch Region 4 top seed L-E-M to host up to three regional matches starting Nov. 10

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team closed out their regular season with two matches, at home October 31 versus Benson County then on the road in Cando at North Star on November 2. The Lady Cards won both matches by a sweep 3-0, and with those wins are now the top seed in the upcoming Region 4 Volleyball Tournament, which will run November 1014, all at home sites, not one venue.

That means the road to state will go through Langdon, with the Cardinals hosting up to three matches in the tournament - November 10, 12 and 14. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will take a 17-2 record into the postseason and have now won 14 matches in a row. You can find the tournament bracket in this week's paper. Here is a recap of their last two regular season matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Benson County 0 On Halloween, the Cardinals hosted the Wildcats in a match that was postponed two separate times.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich stormed right out winning 25-8 in set one and took a big lead early in set two only to see Benson County slowly work themselves into contention.

The Wildcats actually grabbed a 2019 lead, but the Cards would scored the next five points to pull out the set. The Cardinals had their way with BC in set three to win by a sweep.

Lexi Olson was on point the whole match and led the Lady

Cards with 16 kills and 15 digs in the win. Morgan Freije also had a double-double for the game with 10 kills and 13 digs. Jalynn Swanson led the team with 32 assists, and Kaylee Lowery was on fire from the serving line, getting eight of the Cardinals 14 aces. Desidy Schwanke had five kills and eight digs for Benson County.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, North Star 0 The win against the Wildcats put the Cardinals in a position to win the regular season Region 4 title and the top seed in the tournament when they played at North Star on November 2.

In the Bearcats the Cards went up against a middle hitter that went over 1,500 kills in her career in Danielle Hagler. The North Star junior came as advertised, pounding down a number of kills early to give her a team an early lead in each of the first two sets, 6-2 and 14-9, only to see the Lady Cards reel them back in both times. In the decisive set three, the Cardinals grabbed the early lead and didn't let go, taking advantage of 11 Bearcat unforced errors to get the win.

Cardinals junior Morgan Freije got the team's motor going in the first set with seven of her 13 kills coming in the first frame. Freije had another double-double with 13 kills and 16 digs, while Lexi Olson also reached double figures in both categories with 13 kills and 13 digs.

Freshman Jalynn Swanson had another great night at setter with 34 assists. Kaylee Lowery and Halle Jabs each led the team with two

By Rita Maisel

All Saint’s Day A major problem with writing a column on a controversial election day has meant any other research gets blown away by media, conversations, and interruptions. By the time readers have the newspaper in their hands, results from the elections may have settled, and we hope that neighbors, friends, and relatives fighting the dreaded virus are well on their way to recovery.

One of the interruptions today was a phone call from Terrina Wilkes and her husband, Doug, from British Columbia who visited Cavalier County and the Morden area three or four years ago and had talked of returning this fall until the pandemic changed travel plans.

Their first visit was to locate the grave of a great-grandmother who died in a blizzard in the 1890s. In the process, they met people they enjoyed and have tried to keep in touch with ever since. They asked me to relay their greetings to friends in our area.

This week’s column grew out of an uncaught error in the column on Halloween when I confused the number of the Pope (Gregory IV) with the year which put the story into the fourth century instead of the eighth—off by four centuries.

Halloween did grow out of All Hallow’s Eve which was the night before All Saint’s Day, but the circumstances for making this a religious holiday were somewhat different.

Construction had begun several years earlier on a chapel in St. Peter’s Cathedral that would honor the early martyrs of the church.

Some of the martyrs whose names were known had already been named as saints and had special days when faithful church members prayed for them. Others were unknown although they also had a part in the growth and history of the early church. Under the heading Day of the Dead or All Soul’s Day, this special day would honor both groups. The date of the dedication was November 1. While the celebration was in Rome, church members in other parts of Europe were asked to decorate the graves of people they knew and wanted to honor as well.

When protestant denominations separated from the Roman Catholic Church, many of the historic customs and days continued to be

part of the church calendars in the new denominations. All Saint’s Day was one of those observances.

It is celebrated by decorating graves of family members in various parts of Europe. It has long been a remembrance day with a variety of customs in various denominations and nations. While the calendar date may vary, it is treated as a religious holiday with stores closed, no school etc. in Great Britain, Italy and France. Immigrants to Canada, Australia, the United States, and some former British colonies brought the traditions with them and today include this day in their church calendars as a memorial to family members.

The main religious observation in America includes both stories of the familiar saints from long ago as well as remembering family members. Some congregations name their churches after saints, and we are all familiar with the ones in our part of North Dakota who have done that: St. Alphonsus at Langdon, St. Mary’s at Munich, St. Boniface in Walhalla, St. Joseph’s in Leroy and Devils Lake, St. Michael’s at Wales, St. Bridget’s at Cavalier, St. Edward’s at Nekoma (actually named for the oldest member of the congregation) and others. Since music, especially music composed for religious holidays, is considered ecumenical, many of the local churches used music this last Sunday written with All Saints Day in mind. Groups who had in-person worship that day probably sang “For All the Saints”, and several may have sung “I Sing the Song of the Saints of God”. That last song is newer and has an interesting story behind it.

Lesbia Lesley Locket was the youngest of several daughters born to an Anglican family in 1898. One story of her life says her father, George Cooper Locket, was an Anglican pastor, and another version says she married a Royal Navy officer, John Scott, who served in both world wars and appears to have been a vicar in the Church of England either between wars or after his military retirement. She was the mother of three small children and a talented musician so the children often asked “mum” to write them a song about a picnic or a game they were playing. She was also interested in drama so began at an early age writing plays that could be used in church. In the 1920s she wrote a series of hymns for children that would teach them about religious holidays, doing both the lyrics and the music. Her songs, along with

THANK YOU

I am deeply humbled by the support you, my constituents of District 10, gave me in the general election on Nov. 3.

This was the strangest election I have ever experienced.

There was virtually no door-to-door campaigning due to COVID-19, and I missed not connecting with you personally. I look forward to having you contact me with your ideas and concerns at dmonson@nd.gov. As your state representative for the next four years, let me assure you that I will do my best to be your voice in Bismarck. I pledge to represent all of you: Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Independent to the best of my ability.

Langdon Long Ago

her own artwork, were published in 1929 under the title “Everyday Hymns for Little Children”. The only hymn that survives from that collection is “I Sing the Song of the Saints of God”. Along with copies of her original artwork, you can purchase the book at prices ranging from about $10 to many times that amount plus tax and shipping. Be forewarned that the current book came out quite a few years after her death in 1986.

In 1940 the Episcopal and Anglican branches of that church in America and Canada put out a new hymnal and included this hymn.

The original tune had been replaced by the tune “Grand Isle” written by a retired Anglican priest living in Vermont, but the original words were used. The tune was catchy and lively, and it told the story of Saints of God who were patient and brave and true. “One was a soldier, and one was a queen, and one was a shepherdess on the green…….”

Theologians and musicians dissected the song as having little spiritual value, but children growing up loved it and would later include it in their all-time lists of favorite songs.

Fast forward to the 1950s and after. Everyone had radio. Many had record players, and sacred or secular musicians enjoyed making records of hymns which sold

well. However, depending on the church you attended, the name on the hymnals remained what it had always been. For example, when World Day of Prayer met annually in Langdon, the hymns listed in the program had different names so the ladies carried boxes of books from church to church so the titles of the hymns matched the ones in the programs printed nationally not realizing the same song with a different title was in most of the hymnals in the church hosting that year. Some hymns were in the public domain, but others were covered by copyright laws so the individual denominations could change the key the song was written in, arrange the verses differently, and copyright the song as a new hymn while adapting to copyright laws. When the former Methodist Church and the former Evangelical United Brethren merged in 1968, the two churches in Langdon continued to use their previous denominational hymnals.

More than 20 years later the denomination decided to produce a new inclusive hymnal. Meanwhile, several denominations in Canada which had become United Church of Canada were also a part of the mix, and with churches worldwide there would be Korean, African and Hispanic editions of the same hymns.. All branches wanted their own favorite hymns, of course, and

one of the hymns suggested was Mrs. Scott’s “I Sing a Song of the Saints of God.” The new Methodist hymnal came out in 1989, and a new hymnal for the Presbyterian Church followed in 1990. Both contain this hymn, and the congregations have enjoyed singing it ever since, but the lyrics are not the same! Carlton Young, who has done musical arrangements for many books of church music, was a leader on the United Methodist hymnal and thought the original lyrics were too dated, so he changed the third verse. No longer would it read that you could meet saints of God “….in school, or in lanes, or at sea, in church or on trains, in shops or at tea……” Anglicans and other denominations were shocked. The Presbyterian Church reverted to the original lyrics in their hymnal which came out the following year, and in their more recent hymnal, whichever version you may sing.

I suspect with a change in title it may also be in Lutheran, Catholic and other denominational hymnals; the message Mrs. Scott had for her own children is still there: there are saints of old and saints among us today. The original lyrics end with “and I mean to be one, too!” If you would like to read more about the story, I can recommend the website Anglicans Online.

Dakota Gardener: Spring blooms during winter

By Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks County Forcing spring bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, crocus and hyacinth is a great way to brighten up the dreary days of winter.

Forcing bulbs does require planning, though, because the bulbs need a cooling period that imitates the cold conditions bulbs would experience outside during the winter.

Select only the best bulbs you can find for forcing. Bulbs should be large, firm and free of disease.

Look for varieties that are especially suited for forcing.

To start bulbs, use a clean pot at least 6 inches deep that has drainage holes and a saucer to catch the drainage water. Fill the pot about one-third full of new potting soil and arrange the blubs in the pot with the roots down and pointed tip facing up.

Bulbs can be spaced close together but should not be touching each other. Plant the bulbs so the tip of the bulb is near the soil surface.

Crocus bulbs should be planted about an inch deep.

Tulip bulbs have a flat side and

a rounded side. Plant the flat side facing the inner rim of the pot. This will result in larger leaves growing along the edge of the pot, accenting the flower blooms.

Cover the bulbs completely with additional potting soil. Leave 1/4 inch of space at the top of the pot so when you water, the pot will not overflow.

Water the bulbs after planting and when the soil is dry. Keep the soil moist. Do not allow the soil to dry out because the bulbs also will dry out.

Bulbs need a cooling period of about 12 to 13 weeks at temperatures of 35 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can use unheated space such as an attic or garage or use your refrigerator if you have room. Don’t use a refrigerator if it contains apples.

The ethylene gas they emit will harm flower development.

Mark your calendar so you know when you can take the bulbs out of cold storage. Calendar reminders to check soil moisture are helpful, too.

If you are forcing bulbs in multiple pots, bring them out of their cooling period at different intervals to extend the bloom time.

When the cooling period has passed, place the bulbs in a warmer (50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit) area

with indirect lighting until they start growing. Once leaves start growing, that is the time to move the bulbs to a warmer area with bright light.

The bulbs will need three to four weeks to grow and flower. The warmer your house, the faster they will grow. Once the flowers begin to bloom, you can place the bulbs in a cooler spot at night to lengthen the bloom time.

All the bulb’s energy is spent once it is done blooming. Forced bulbs usually are discarded. However, you might be able to save them and plant them outside in the fall.

When trying to save bulbs, remove the spent flowers and place the bulbs in a sunny window and keep the soil moist until the foliage turns brown. Then stop watering and allow the soil and foliage to dry down.

Harvest the bulbs, allowing them to dry for a couple of weeks. Then store the bulbs in a cool, dry place until you can plant them in the fall.

Happy gardening!

Rep. David Monson R – District 10 Meetings are still going forward at a rate of several per week. The only interim legislative committee still going for me is the Budget Section.

This has been a monthly meeting instead of the usual quarterly meeting due to all the Covid-19 federal funding coming to the state.

My schedule for the past week had me conducting a North American Industrial Hemp Council meeting on Wednesday, October 21. Although I am still president of that organization, we have pretty much ceased our formal activity since our objective or mission was met when the last farm bill was passed by Congress and included industrial hemp or just “hemp” as it is called now.

We still meet monthly because the farm bill portion involving hemp is still a bit in limbo due to administrative rules changing what we thought would open up the industry to farmers better than it has. I had a short meeting with legislative leaders and Supt. Baesler of DPI in the afternoon to get a preview of what was going to be presented to the Emergency Commission on behalf of the K-12 schools. I will mention more about this later in this report.

The next two meetings I had were on Monday, October 26, when I met with Marcus Lewis of First Care Health Center in Park River. I couldn’t get the full tour of the new addition and remodel due to Covid-19 concerns, but I got the “virtual” tour and had a good discussion of concerns and problems facing our rural hospitals, clinics, and health care in general, especially In rural ND. I was very impressed with what I saw and learned. That facility and administrator is a huge asset to our area.

Next I went to Grand Forks and met with Randy Keiffer of Dakota Sales, one of the major beer distributors in ND. He represented the state’s wholesale beer distributors and shared with me the problems facing restaurants, bars, and the hos-

pitality industry in ND. With the Covid-19 issues that industry has been impacted severely. They hire a lot of people and pay a lot of taxes locally and statewide, so we had that issue before us in the Budget Section meeting which I will mention in this report, as well.

Tuesday, October 27, I had a board meeting for the Atmospheric Research Board (ARB). I was appointed to that board by Governor Burgum four years ago, mainly due to my science teacher background, and I was just reappointed to another four year term. That was a conference call meeting, but went better than many conference call meetings. It really was a productive meeting where we discussed how last summer’s programs went. One of the missions of the board or agency is the weather modification program or “cloud seeding”, mainly to suppress hail incidents, mostly in central and western ND. However, it has a big impact on eastern ND in that the pilots are UND aviation students for the most part, the flares are made in Kindred, ND, and the company that does the weather modification is out of Fargo.

Besides weather modification, another mission is to monitor storms, and this is integral to weather forecasting and tracking storms with radar and a big help to the National Weather Service. The budget for this agency is part of the State Water Commission budget which comes through my section of House Appropriations during the regular legislative session. The director of ARB is Darin Langerud, a native of the Edinburg area and District 10.

The Budget Section met on Wednesday, October 28. The meeting was scheduled to last only an hour, but it ran over because of all the questions and a bit of controversy over re-purposing some of the federal dollars received by the Bank of ND(BND) to be distributed to various agencies for the Covid-19 issue.

To start off, I feel I need to explain how the process works. When the legislature during the regular session sets the budget and appropriates the dollars to various agencies, that is what they are allowed to receive and spend in the next two years or biennium. If more money is available to them through grants or other income, they come to the Emergency Commission. The membership of the Emergency Commission consists of the Governor who is the chairman, the Secretary of State who also serves as the commission’s secretary, the Majority Leader of ND Senate, and the Majority Leader of the ND House of Representatives, the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

They hear the requests from agencies to allow them to accept more money or change their budgets, sometimes to move money from one purpose or line in their budget to another. The Emergency Commission then votes to send it on the Budget Section which cannot change the request, only vote to approve or disapprove the proposed changes. So, when we had our meeting, we had various agencies that had gotten federal Covid-19 funds for a certain purpose, and found the rules had changed so they could use the money in other ways or didn’t need it for the original purpose and wanted to change it to another purpose or budget line, etc. Other agencies found they didn’t need as much money as they originally got and weren’t going to spend it, so they gave it back to the BND which is the holding entity for the funds. Other agencies that could find a use for that money came to the Emergency Commission with proposals, and we acted on them at our Budget Section meeting to “repurpose” those funds or not. A few of the more interesting proposals we approved are: DPI will get $33.8M to send an additional payment to the

K-12 schools of $30,000 per school plus about $250 per student. Cavalier is scheduled to get $134,623; Drayton $74,166; Edmore $39,799; FordvilleLankin $39,548; Grafton $243,496; Langdon $134,623; Munich $52,843; North Border $111,293; Park River $133,870; St. Thomas $41,053; and Valley Edinburg $74,166. The ND University system will get $5.26M to distribute to the various colleges and universities. The Dept. of Health will get about $10M to go mostly to the 6 largest hospitals in the state. Human Services will get $14.85M with about $8M of that going to childcare and $2.6M to nursing homes for HVAV needs. Job Service ND will get $9.7M with about $5.4M of that going to long term care facilities. BND will get about $20M to buy down interest rates for loans. ND Highway Patrol will get $13.5M. Department of Commerce will get $29M mostly for restaurants, bars, and entertainment facilities like movie theaters, music theaters, drama theaters, etc.

Cities and Counties will get $61M mostly for law enforcement (I’m not sure about EMT and Fire Depts. but I would hope they would be included here). The controversial one is the oil and gas industry through the Industrial Commission. They will get $16M to employ 5 crews to work on capping and/or fracking about 80 oil wells that are drilled but still not finished. The rationale behind this is that it will put a lot of people to work in the oil field where the unemployment rate is over 10% now. Further, it will produce more oil and thus more revenue to the citizens, cities, counties, and state when those wells start to produce oil. It is also a safety issue to get the wells stabilized.

There were only a few votes against approving this repurposing of turnback money.

Before you hit the road, you might think about where you’ll stop to eat, sleep, or fill gas. As electric vehicles (EVs) become more affordable and chargers more accessible, some people are planning trips around charging locations.

With the evolution of electric transportation, Otter Tail Power Company customers have become increasingly interested in access to EV chargers with reasonable rates.

Recognizing the demand for electric transportation resources, the company developed a proposal for an EV charging infrastructure pilot program. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved the proposal, allowing Otter Tail Power Company to build 11 direct current (DC) fast charging sites and 10 Level 2 charging sites in its Minnesota service area. “This proposal is a cost-effective way to get more EV chargers across Minnesota,” said Commissioner Matt Schuerger in a recent news release from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission.

“Otter Tail Power deserves a lot of credit for being one of the first rural electric utilities in the country to create a proposal and one that garnered such widespread stakeholder support.”

The company is still finalizing

charger locations and expects to complete the project in the next two to three years. “This is an exciting plan for current and future EV owners,” said Otter Tail Power Company Market Planning Manager Jason Grenier. “When the project is com-

price to worries about driving long distances in winter weather, EV adoption has its challenges in Otter Tail Power Company’s rural and vast service area. Yet, the company expects the number of EV owners will continue to grow with needed infrastructure in place. “And electric transportation is affordable,” said Grenier. “Customers can charge their vehicles for less than half the cost of gas per mile at public chargers and can see even greater savings when charging at home.” The company’s public DC fast charging rates range from .5 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) during off-peak hours to 13 cents per kWh during peak hours.

“Whether you live in or are visiting our service area, these charging stations will make long stretches of highway more accessible for EV travel,” said Grenier. “And we’ll continue to evaluate opportunities for additional charging stations in North Dakota and South Dakota.”

As EVs continue to improve, it’s easier than ever to hit the road with a safe and reliable network for EV travel. Find more information about Otter Tail Power Company’s customer EV rates and rebates at otpco. com/DriveOn.

Otter Tail Power Company a leader in developing EV charging options in rural United States

plete, 97 percent of our Minnesota customers will be within 30 miles of a charging station—and 100 percent will be within 60 miles.”

Otter Tail Power Company also has partnered with leaders in the communities of Bemidji, Crookston, Fergus Falls, and Morris, Minnesota, and Wahpeton and Jamestown, North Dakota to install EV charging stations. Most recently, in downtown Fergus Falls, the company installed two 7-kilowatt (kW) Level 2 chargers and a 50-kW fast charger, the first charger of its kind along a 200-mile major corridor of Interstate Highway 94 between Monticello and Moorhead, Minnesota.
