There is not a vaccine for COVID-19 yet, but getting your influenza vaccine is more important than ever this year. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), getting your yearly flu vaccine is the most important step in protecting yourself against infections of flu viruses.

Though flu vaccines will not prevent COVID-19, they will reduce the burden of flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths on the health care system and conserve scarce medical resources for the care of people with COVID-19.

The CDC and the North Dakota Department of Health recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older should get an annual flu vaccine, preferably by the end of October. In Langdon you can get your flu shot at the Public Health District office in the courthouse or at Langdon Community Drug.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we want to help our readers understand the gravity of this disease. We will discuss what to watch for and preventive measures you can take.

Changes in the Breast A change in breast tissue doesn’t automatically mean you have cancer. Some changes in the breast are normal for your stage of life. If you’re concerned, of course, call the doctor, but there’s probably not a reason to panic.

Probably Not Anything to Worry About Many changes in the breast are because of fluctuating hormones, such as when a woman is about to start her menstrual cycle or when she’s pregnant. Here are some times you may notice a difference in your breasts that’s not worrisome.

Before or during your cycle. Your breasts may feel swollen or tender, and that’s normal. You may even feel a lump because of extra fluid in your breast. You should always call a doctor if you feel a lump, but the doctor may schedule a return visit when you’re not on your cycle to check the breast.

During pregnancy. Your body undergoes a lot of changes during pregnancy, and one of them may be larger and more painful breasts. They may even feel lumpy as the glands that produce milk gear up for breastfeeding. While breastfeeding, you may also get a painful conCounty Courthouse on October 26 & 29 and November 6, 13, 19, and 23.

have a short wait.

Influenza (the flu) is caused by two main types of flu viruses, influenza A and influenza B. There have been 19 cases of influenza A and 19 cases of influenza B in North Dakota since August 1st of this year, which is slightly less than last year at this time. Flu season runs from October to May with most cases happening in February and December, however, seasonal flu viruses are detected year-round.

The flu is spread m a i n l y when people with the flu either cough, sneeze or talk and make droplets that end up in the mouth or nose of people who do not have the flu. It can also be spread by touching an infected surface and then touching your face, though that is less common. Children are most likely to get sick from the flu, and people 65 and over are least likely.

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headcont. on page 3

ways be checked out.

Itchy, red, dimpled or puckered skin. Again, this could just be minor irritation, but it could be something worse. Call the doctor.

How to Do a Self-Exam You should be checking your breast for changes at least once a month, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Johns Hopkins Medical Center. About 40% of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump and get it checked out.

Some signs to look for during your breast exam are nipple tenderness, lumps, thickening, changes in skin texture or enlargement of pores in the skin of the breast. Also examine your underarm area as the breast tissue spreads around your sides and armpits. Here’s how to properly conduct a self-exam.

Lying Down When lying down, your breast tissue will spread against the chest wall. Place a pillow under your shoulder and raise that arm above your head. Using the opposite hand, move the pads of your fingers around your breast, covering the entire area and armpit. Use light, medium and firm pressure. Check for nipple discharge and lumps, then repeat for the other side.

Andrea Jacobson and Maple Manor Care Center are holding a similar event for kids and the residents.

“We are planning to have volunteers posted around the outside perimeter of Maple Manor on Saturday, October 31 from 10:00-11:00 am,” said Jacobson. “We are inviting anyone, all ages, to come in costume to 'trick-or-treat' any time during that timeframe.

Please bring something to put all of your treats in and dress weather appropriate.” cont. on page 2

Mill levy vote scheduled by Langdon Area School Board trols. They would also have the power to set automatic temperature settings at a lower energy saving level during vacant periods such as nights and weekends. This system would both be water heat and water cooled, meaning heating and air conditioning could be run simultaneously in individual areas. It was stated that as there would be no moving parts, it should last at least 50 years. In addition to this, the high school would see updates to their HVAC systems bundled in with this proposal at a marginal additional cost. The bid for the elementary system came in at 1.8 million dollars; the high school would reflect an additional $250,000. Currently, the high school runs an electric heating system. If replaced with natural gas, they could see an estimated annual savings of $40,000 a year. These are top end bids, meaning they could come in at a lower final cost.

Grant funds could also further offset costs. The board was anticipating a proposed mill levy vote to 15 for this project. Ultimately, it was decided an addition levy of 7 to the current 3 for a total of 10 would suffice. The vote is planned for Wednesday, January 6 with an official board meeting scheduled 6 days later on January12th.

Among administrative reports a variety of issues were addressed. The first being Sudell Therapeutics of Grand Forks expressing interest in renting space in the elementary school sensory room. This would be to perform therapy locally to a number of students already benefiting from traversing to Grand Forks for care. Care would occur after school hours and would be one patient with an accompanying guardian at a time. The board approved for Daren Christianson to meet with Sudell to determine rates and form a contract to be presented at their next meeting.

The free meal program has also been extended through June 2021 provided personnel and families wish to continue up to that date. With this development, it has been observed a number of high school students leave grounds for lunch. The school stressed that provided lunches are free of cost to any student interested. Superintendent Christianson posited it as a symbiotic benefit as students receive free meals while the school benefits from increased participation in the program.

By Adam Johnston Republican Writer The Langdon Area School Board covered a wide range of business at their regularly scheduled meeting Monday, October 19. The meeting opened with a special presentation from Wally Rygh of Mortenson and Rygh in regards to audit reports. Rygh reported on the previous 2 yearly audits.

Of note, expenditures came in under budget for the previous school year at $415,000. Rygh also expressed that business manager Shauna Schneider has done a great job in turning around the accounting system.

The conclusion of Rygh's report brought on a discussion of future school audits. The board expressed they are happy with Mortenson and Rygh's performance, however, their only concern is that the school would like to conduct and hear presentation on audits on a yearly basis. Rygh countered that he has confidence they can implement this, as it is primarily how they conduct audits. In order to get the next audit moving, a proposal was requested and scheduled for the next regular board meeting.

The building and maintenance committee followed stating they met with three individual entities to obtain bids for the proposed boiler system update in the elementary school. It was stated that all three systems were unique in nature. They ultimately selected a proposal from Martin Mechanical Designs of Fargo.

This system was considered the best fit for the schools’ unique needs and also came in as a cheaper alternative to the other two proposals. If implemented, it would use a natural gas water boiler system to heat an intake of fresh air that would be distributed down through ceiling vents throughout the school.

Current tunnel infrastructure would then be used as an exhaust system. This is important to note, as there were concerns fumes from the heat system could travel through these tunnels. Repurposing them as exhaust lines would not only eliminate this concern by creating a vacuum but also aid in drawing out cold air as it is forced to the base of rooms. Other benefits would be seen in digital updates to heating and cooling controls. All classrooms would have independent digital con-

Elementary school principal Todd Hetler used his time to outline a future proposal to reformat the mastery grading scale. Currently implemented is the standard A-F scale. Hetler introduced the standardsbased grading scale which is a 1-4 scale that would require a 2-3-year plan to fully integrate.

In a 1-4 scale, 2 would reflect approaching standard, 3 meeting standard, and 4 exceeding standards. He explained that the benefit to this grading scale would be a more specific reflection of how a grade was obtained. It would break down each learning standard into various components allowing the student and guardian to see the exact areas in which the student excelled. Ultimately, they then could hone in on specific areas that need work. Hetler will form an action plan to be presented to the curriculum committee at a future date.

Finally, several board members expressed concern in regards to school doors being opened at 8:00 a.m. Currently, doors remain closed until this time to allow student entry in a uniform manner in compliance with the segregation of grade levels due to COVID safety protocols. It is argued some guardians cannot drop off students immediately at 8:00 due to work obligations. Therefore, a collection of students congregate 10-15 minutes outside school doors before 8 to wait for opening. The concern here being that with the approaching winter season, it may not be safe for children to wait in inclement weather. It was stated in a pre-COVID world, a single paraprofessional would be implemented to congregate students in the gymnasium, but because of social distancing, this was not possible. It was then determined a total of 32 students could potentially be placed in the gymnasium during this time provided they wear masks and are still segregated by grade level in 6 ft. distances. With this, once a paraprofessional is allocated, a test run of opening doors at 7:50 will be implemented. The school has expressed a hope that guardians still strive to stay as close to the 8:00 a.m. marker as possible.

Moving forward, the next official meeting is scheduled Monday, November 16 at 7 p.m. in the high school board room.

Dakota Gardener: Give your trees a little winter protection

By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension I have a confession to make.

Every fall, I’m hypocritical in regard to tree care. Generally, I don’t pamper trees; I’m tough on them.

If they’re going to survive our challenging climate in the northern Great Plains, they’re going to have to do it on their own. Well, mostly.

But in the fall, I find that I’m always giving a little extra tender loving care to my apple trees. Specifically, I make sure that I somehow protect them from the rabbits. It’s a yearly battle against the rabbits. In recent years, I’ve been winning that battle, although it wasn’t always so.

The first apple tree that we planted in the backyard was a housewarming gift from a friend. And that first winter, I didn’t protect it and the rabbits completely girdled it. I was disappointed, but not heartbroken, because, let’s face it, we had only one year invested in the tree, and it would sprout from the roots just fine.

But I learned a valuable lesson, and ever since then, the apple trees receive some type of protection. I’ve usually used a white plastic pipe, but sometimes a wire fence goes up and I’ve even used the plastic wraptype material. They all work fine.

This year, I’m going to have to protect some of the lower branches as well in case we get a lot of snow.

I’ve seen rabbits destroy the tops of fruit trees in shelterbelts that had

huge drifts.

Here are some more tree-protection techniques that you can use at home for your own trees: • Add a white plastic tree protector on young and/or thin-barked trees to reduce the risk of sunscald, another type of winter injury.

• Give your conifers one final soaking before the soil freezes. This will help minimize winter injury, although it probably won’t stop winter injury completely.

• For small, high-value landscape conifers, consider using a burlap wrap or shield to reduce the chances for winter injury.

• Rake up and destroy leaves, especially those that had fungal problems this past summer. Fungi overwinter on fallen leaves, so getting rid of those infected leaves will reduce the potential for fungal problems next year.

• Prune dead wood to decrease overwintering sites for tree diseases and insect pests.

• Throughout winter, use caution when applying ice melt products – salt and other chemicals – around trees.

Winter is tough on trees, and I’m OK with that. But we have some things that we can, and should, do to make winters a little easier on them. Am I inconsistent? Maybe a little, but let’s face it – I love trees!

Opinion

Page 4 – Monday, October 26, 2020

Originalism and Judge Amy Coney Barrett Judge Amy Coney Barrett, destined to be the next member of the U.S. Supreme Court, has characterized her approach to constitutional interpretation as a mixture of “originalism” and “textualism.” She has said that the Constitution should be interpreted as it was understood when it was ratified. She shares this approach with her mentor, the late Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative icon.

The two doctrinal methods are frequently in conflict. That leaves Judge Barrett in a position to choose which method she would employ, in which cases, for various reasons.

As an approach to constitutional interpretation, textualism is considerably limited and possesses little utility. Originalism, on the other hand, is well -heeled and boasts an impressive pedigree that includes American founders, despite its shortcomings.

Textualism, sometimes called strict constructionism, finds its roots in concerns about judicial discretion and the duty of courts to interpret the law as it is written, which is the essence of the judicial function. The central question for judges is how to determine the meaning of the law. Words cannot be overlooked, of course, for they are employed by the authors of a statute or constitutional provision to convey meaning.

But words alone are rarely capable of resolving complex questions of statutory and constitutional law, often because they are too vague.

A lawsuit raising the question, for example, of the minimum age required to serve as president of the United States could be resolved by the language of Article 2, but how many questions of such simplicity are likely to arise? More often, judges are asked to interpret the meaning and scope of such terms as “due process,” “cruel and unusual punishment” and “unreasonable search and seizure,” which require a context beyond mere language.

A strict adherence to the text of a legal instrument—a statute or constitutional provision, for example— may defeat the larger purposes of a statute. America’s founders were familiar with the fact that an ancient Bolognian (Italy) law, which provided that “whoever drew blood in the streets should be punished with utmost severity,” did not apply to the surgeon’s life-saving treatment of a man who had fallen in the street from a fit. A literal application of the words would have led to the punishment of the doctor who made an incision in the patient and caused some spilling of blood in the street.

This appeal to the purposes or intentions of the lawmaker, which eventually became known in the 1980s as the doctrine of originalism, is neither new nor distinctively American.

Indeed, it plumbs the depths of Anglo-American legal history. It appears as early as the year 1386 when an English lawyer asserted his view of the statute at issue. One of the judges rebuked the lawyer: “Don’t tell us what it means. We wrote it.”

At that time, judges were also legislators who served in Parliament.

That initial foray into originalism—seeking the meaning of a statute in the intentions of the lawmaker—established the essence of the judicial function: to say what the law is. Across the Atlantic, Chief Justice John Marshall, in 1803, in Marbury v. Madison, embellished the function in words that have be-

come immortal: it is “emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is.”

The allure of originalism—the enforcement of the will of the people as manifested in the ratification of the Constitution—is compelling.

Judges are expected to refrain from imposing values not found within the four corners of the Constitution.

But resort to originalism depends on the adequacy of historical materials to illuminate the intentions of the framers of the Constitution. If, for example, the records of the Constitutional Convention were consumed by fire, originalism would be impossible.

James Madison’s reliable notes on the debates in the Constitutional Convention constitute the primary source of what was said there. They shed light on many issues that are relevant to our time, but not every issue that comes before the courts can be answered by resort to history. Yet, where the historical evidence is clear and decisive, the Supreme Court said, it is entitled to great weight and respect.

The implementation of originalism may not please its advocates, particularly those committed to expansive executive power. For example, a Supreme Court full of originalist justices would uphold the exclusive authority of Congress, not the president, to initiate war on behalf of the American people because the framers, to a man, agreed that the war power was vested solely and exclusively in Congress.

The same court would rule against the claim of executive privilege because the framers never discussed the asserted authority and, to the extent they did discuss governmental secrecy, they reserved to Congress, not the president, the power to determine what information might be withheld from the American people. The framers, moreover, made no provision for presidential immunity from arrest or conviction; therefore, an originalist court would be required to rule against a presidential assertion of such authority. ~~~ Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

Upside Down Under

The psychology of business…

My wife and I have been operating a CSA since 2009, and the last delivery of 2020 was quite different than any of the previous deliveries in 12 years of this service. A CSA is Community Supported Agriculture in which someone pays us a fee in advance, and we deliver produce to them throughout the growing season. Some people call it a subscription.

October 14 was one of those days that told me a lot about the people of Minot and people in general.

We all make mistakes, we all have compassion for other people, and we all have days of jubilation and extreme sadness. My day started at Minot Air Force Base when a young lady dropped in to tell me that my customer, Alice, abruptly took a trip to Chicago and she, the neighbor, was picking up. Two other customers didn’t show but contacted me later.

The first delivery is out in the country, and the people like to visit. I told them I was a little behind schedule, and I had to rush. Little did I know that was exactly the opposite of what happened.

Deliveries are a zig zag of stops from the Minot AFB southeast to Nedrose Public School southeast of town. One of those stops has a man I only know as Mr. Mertz. When he opened the door, one of the first things he said was “I’m dying slowly.” Mr. Mertz weighed all of about 130 pounds and told me he couldn’t lift the bag of vegetables and asked me to take them in the house for him.

I spoke with him for a long time and said, “I’ll see you next season.” He replied, “If I’m here next year.” I replied, “OK, I understand,” and he went on to tell me all of his funeral arrangements have been made, and he has no fear of dying like he did in Vietnam.

On the next delivery, there was a cooler out front because the people are never home. As I was about to put the bag in the cooler, Angela opened the door and said, “You’re bringing me groceries.” She startled me but then asked me to come in while she unloaded her produce. In the process, she told me she and her husband attempted canning for the first time this year, and this woman, I’m guessing in her late 40s, was giddy about it and couldn’t stop talking about it. I told her I gave her the best tomatoes for canning, San

Letter to Editor

incredibly hard when they have to call people up to tell them they tested positive or they’re a close contact.

When they try to calm the person that is scared that they can’t take care of their parents or their child that may have special needs. They’re educating all of us with the best information that they have to try to get us all to protect the ones we love. Our neighbors, friends, children, parents, significant other.

I can’t help but wonder though, if I am the only selfish person. I don’t want citizens to get sick, I especially don’t want the grocery store workers to get sick, or the pharmacy workers, or the restaurant workers. I want these conveniences and necessities that are here now, to remain. I don’t want to lose main street businesses.

Yup this is all about me. That’s why I wear a mask. I AM SELFISH!!

I don’t want to be the one that takes the virus somewhere that it has no place being, like to the person with cancer, diabetes, that’s over 65, that’s overweight (this is a list of some of the underlying conditions) , and be responsible for YOU losing your parent, child or spouse and blaming ME. I worry that maybe I am the person that is carrying the virus with no symptoms. If that is me and I go to the grocery store for a quick trip, just bananas, carrots, milk and bread. I touch the bananas, the handle on the cooler where the carrots are, walk through the aisles, say “hi” and maybe have a quick chat with a friend. Without my mask I may have infected 3-5 people.

It takes those 3-5 people awhile to show symptoms if they are going to, in the meantime though, they are sharing the virus with other coworkers. Each of those co-workers will share it again with other coworkers then BOOM- not enough workers! I was upset when the shelf inventory was down, imagine what it’ll be like if they don’t have enough workers to even stock them. Or worse yet, stay open!!

That toilet paper shortage will seem like small stuff when I can’t

Marzano paste tomatoes, and she seemed incredibly grateful.

The second to last delivery is an elderly lady who moved here from Washington some years ago.

I’ve only known this woman four months, and I believe I know her life story. She likes to visit, almost too much, but is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. She lives with her daughter who I also met. Each week she tells me how happy she is to actually get fresh produce and that she misses that from some of the farmers markets in the Seattle area. I also discovered that we have a mutual friend in Scobey, Montana.

Each week I have 10 deliveries that take three hours. This time it took 4 1/2 hours because of the visiting, but I see it as a part of customer service and didn’t want to cut anybody short because it’s all about building relationships. Following the deliveries, there are 17 people who pick up their produce in a Minot parking lot.

Typically I spend an hour at that location to give everyone enough time to get there. However, on this day that wasn’t going to happen.

Some of the people were there pronto while others took their sweet old time arriving. Forty-five minutes into the stop, five people hadn’t dropped by. Suddenly I got a call from one person who said her husband was north of Minot, and he would be coming but would be late. The others I called. One got sick and went home early thus couldn’t pick up. One got caught in road construction and was late. Others forgot, and when I called them, they couldn’t stop apologizing. One sent her daughter to pick up, one decided to come to the farm to pick up and see where her food is coming from and the other just told me to bring it to the Saturday farmers market, and she would get it then.

Typically, these afternoons are pretty mundane, pretty routine, and my car radio keeps me entertained throughout the afternoon. But this day was completely different and had so many moving parts including three horses that were running loose on a county road before I got into Minot. I’m still trying to wrap my head around all the personalities that I have the pleasure of interacting with, at least weekly. One is Canadian and always gives me a hard time when I’m not wearing a Toronto Blue Jays shirt, another is always telling me to hook up 3-phase irrigation, another is a professor at Minot State University who should have been a clown, and two others are former chefs who are my best critics.

There is no doubt about it, I love my Wednesday afternoons.

buy coffee, milk, bread or other necessary items!

Think of the economic impact that closing a business completely, not by mandate but for lack of help, because everyone is out sick. I doubt there will be Economic Impact Funds to cover that one!

We can beat this, practice selfishness, wear your mask, sanitize your hands, keep people at a distance please. We did it when we had the increase in cases before, we can do it again.

Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager Cavalier County, ND Letter to the Editor: Nowadays, the drug world is far more dangerous. Addicts now have to be cautious about buying fake pills that look exactly like the ones you get at your local pharmacy. They might think they are buying a Xanax, Oxycodone, or maybe an Adderall even. But in reality, they are buying something that is deadly. Dealers are mixing concoctions and pressing them with a little machine to make something that they think will be way more addicting and less costly.

They are putting fentanyl in them which in reality is more addictive and cheap, but also deadly!! Just taking, snorting, or even IVing one pill is killing people. Before addicts had to worry about getting fake drugs that didn’t get you high. Now they have to worry about getting fake drugs that kill you. The death rates for today’s drugs is massive compared to years ago. Anyone struggling with addiction needs to get help fast to avoid this tragic situation.

Keep Palmer Amaranth From Spreading This noxious weed has been found in additional North Dakota counties every year since 2018.

Palmer amaranth is growing out of a manure pile.

Palmer in a soybean field in North Dakota Photo: Randy Grueneich, NDSU North Dakota producers need to be vigilant about keeping Palmer amaranth, a particular noxious weed, off their land, according to North Dakota State University Extension specialists.

Stutsman, Barnes and Cass counties are the three new counties that made into the list of counties with Palmer in 2020.

One source of introduction in 2020 was through contaminated grain screenings. Samples pulled from a pile of sunflower screenings detected up to 1,000 Palmer amaranth seeds per pound of screenings from one source.

In one case, screenings had been fed to cattle and Palmer amaranth was detected in fields where cattle grazed and also fields where manure was spread as fertilizer.

“This serves as a reminder that grain screenings can be a major pathway of Palmer amaranth introduction into the state, especially if the screenings originated from areas of the country where Palmer amaranth is the most abundant weed,” says Joe Ikley, Extension weed specialist.

“Grain screenings are usually a price-competitive source of cattle feed, but they might contain things that you don’t want at any price, such as Palmer amaranth,” warns Karl Hoppe, Extension livestock systems specialist at the Carrington Research Extension Center (CREC).

Grain screenings consist of

Monday, October 26, 2020 – Page 5

NDSU Extension Notes cracked or small pieces of grain plus foreign matter. The foreign matter can be other kinds of grain, sticks, leaves, insects, rodent feces, fungal bodies such as ergot and sclerotia, and weed seeds. Palmer amaranth has been added to the North Dakota noxious weed list.

“Grain screenings usually have some feed value for livestock and are routinely purchased without any idea of weed seed content,” Hoppe notes.

“However, grain screenings can carry viable weed seeds that geminate is unusual locations,” he says.

“Where the screenings are unloaded can lead to the start of a weed infestation. These areas proliferate in feed yards that do not have fastidious weed control.”

Extension weed scientist Brian Jenks says, “While this weed looks like a pigweed, it is resistant to many of our commonly used herbicide modes of action, it is extremely prolific in its seed production and it can spread like wildfire.”

The best way to control Palmer amaranth is not having it enter your farm, the specialists say.

NDSU Extension specialists have several tips on how to manage feed and manure that may be contaminated with Palmer amaranth seed: • Buy cleaned grain to help keep Palmer amaranth off the farm.

However, purchased feed isn’t routinely tested for weed seeds.

• Have screenings tested to determine the presence of Palmer amaranth prior to feeding the screenings to livestock. If pigweed seeds are cleaned out/separated from the rest of the feed, they can be sent to the National Agricultural Genotyping Center on campus for genetic identification. The NAGC can test up to 200 pigweed seed per sample for a fee of $75 per sample.

• Feeding whole seeds may perpetuate the problem. Some seeds, especially tiny, hard-shelled seeds from Palmer amaranth, can escape digestion by cattle.

• Grind the screenings so fine that the seeds are destroyed. For a small-seeded plant such as Palmer amaranth, aggressive grain processing is needed, and hammer milling is usually the best. The small black seeds are about 1 millimeter in diameter.

• Compost manure to reduce seed viability.

• When purchasing cover crop seed use caution when sourcing seed from state’s with Palmer amaranth and be aware of what testing, if any has been conducted on the seed.

Composting manure should destroy weed seed viability; however, management practices will determine success,” says Mary Keena, livestock environmental management specialist at the CREC. Making sure the moisture of the compost pile is maintained at 50% and the pile reaches temperatures of 140 to 160 F throughout the composting process is critical, she says.

A guide to the process and management of animal manure compost is available at https://tinyurl.com/ AnimalManureComposting.

“But if just one seed survives being eaten by cattle and escapes the heat in composting, and then is spread onto a crop field, then that one plant can make up to a million seeds in a year,” Ikley notes. “Even

in direct competition with a crop, these plants can still produce up to 100,000 seeds in a year.”

Palmer amaranth seeds cannot be distinguished visually from other pigweeds, but Palmer amaranth seeds can be identified through laboratory genetic testing. Contact your local Extension agent about where to send seeds for genetic testing.

Hoppe recommends not purchasing screenings from locations that have Palmer amaranth. While few locations in North Dakota have Palmer amaranth, many other states have the weed.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Budgeting by Caboodles I have personally used many forms of budgeting over the years.

Some worked better than others.

Some were easier to follow, and my attitude about money just about always stayed the same…almost.

My favorite budgeting was when I was a kid and used my blue and green Caboodle to manage my money. If you have ever owned a Caboodle, you know exactly what I am talking about. There is something magical about those containers. There were plenty of sections in there to keep both the cash as well as the coins I would get paid for doing “extra” chores or working for others. There was a section I designated for savings, a section for church offering, and a section for spending. Thinking back now, I’m pretty sure I had the biggest amount in my spending category so that when I went to the local Ben Franklin Craft store, Red Owl grocery store, or one of the drug stores in town, I would have something to spend.

I remember one time when a friend came over and saw my Caboodle budget and exclaimed that I was “RICH!” I suppose in the eyes of an 8-year-old, I probably was.

Ten dollars in quarters really added up for someone that age.

I eventually upgraded to jars for a little while to manage my money and then moved to accounts and ledgers since it was time to get a little more serious. The Caboodle is still going strong but now being used by someone else for holding important things like dinosaurs and rocks.

Managing money is something that is essential for all people. Having financial management skills is important to maintaining a sustainable lifestyle. Sometimes it’s easier to manage money than other times.

Sometimes life throws us curve balls. Sometimes we don’t have the drive to do it. Sometimes we don’t understand certain aspects of money matters. No matter what, it’s important to keep track of income and expenses and figure out ways to build a savings.

Making a budget can easily be “Be sure to look at grain screenings with attention to weed seeds

He suggests producers also consider possible liability issues of not controlling the noxious weed.

NDSU Extension Notes

done by keeping track of income and expenses for the month. Even if your income isn’t consistent, it’s important to maintain a budget. If a person’s expenses are more than their income, there is accumulation of debt. With debt comes more stress. As we all know, the stress connected to financial strain is not helpful to our minds and bodies. To alleviate that stress, it’s important to manage your money.

Important points to remember: 1. Budgets are WORKING documents. They are not “one and done”. It’s something you need to work with every month. Spending 20 minutes a week managing expenses and income is achievable.

2. Remember seasonal spending.

Saving all year round helps alleviate the spending pressures of holidays and special occasions. Little bits at a time is easier than one big chunk.

3. Find ways to save more. You can give up your extra spending or find ways to earn more income. If you buy a bottle of soda every day at about $2 each, you spend $730 a year and $3650 in 5 years. If your extra spending is not something you want to give up, consider earning extra income with another job to cover those expenses.

4. Work to become debt free. A strategy that is recommended by Dave Ramsey, a financial management expert, includes making minimum payments on all debt and paying more on the smaller debt. Once that small debt is paid off, the money that was used on that debt is now applied to the next smallest debt.

It’s referred to as the debt snowball.

Eventually, all that will be left is the biggest debt, but it will be paid off sooner with the money that would have been used on the smaller debt.

It has worked for many people to use this strategy.

5. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or a professional person from the community, there are people who are able and willing to help. It does not have to be everyone else’s business, but it’s important to find someone you trust that can help you. Sometimes all it takes is sharing the burden of the planning or debt to help set you on the right path to less stress and more financial freedom.

Using some of these important strategies can be easy and stress

reducing. It may be beneficial to get the whole family involved as well. Getting the whole family involved is not only helpful to you as the adult but teaches your children valuable lessons. There are NDSU Extension publications such as “Kids and Money: Keeping Track of your Money” (FE1973, July 2020) that can be used to help guide you with this task. Sometimes it’s less of a burden on the adults if the children understand their responsibilities with reference to money management as well. It can be a family bonding experience that all will benefit from.

Sometimes taking steps to become educated on money management topics is key to helping. Our NDSU Extension office here in Cavalier County just received some publications from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Topics include various publications about money management, buying a home, choosing a financial advisor, and protecting your identity as an older adult.

Using online resources to help get information on topics like the debt snowball can also be helpful.

Dave Ramsey has many resources (scroll down for the free resources) available at https://www.daveramsey.com/ to help. Just make sure when using online resources, you don’t give any personal information and you only use reputable sources.

NDSU Extension also has many more resources available at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/money. If you would like any help finding a resource or going over what NDSU Extension has to offer, feel free to contact us at the NDSU Extension office in Cavalier County by stopping into our office, giving us a call (256-2560), or emailing us (katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu).

It’s never too early or too late to start managing your money.

Whether you decide to use a Caboodle, jars, or accounts and ledgers, starting the path to financial management will be worth the time and effort you put into it. The payout will be more than just monetary.

Together they worked in the church music and youth ministries until her death in 1976, leaving him to raise their three youngest children by himself. A multi-talented business entrepreneur, he farmed and had an excavation business along with plumbing, heating and carpentry services. In 1978 he opened Nygard Bolt and Supply. He enjoyed making his customers happy and visiting with them. His customer base soon became his friends. He prided himself on this motto: “We run our business by the Golden Rule.” The business remains in the family and is still thriving today. In 1985 he met and married Sharon Sprunk, who brought great joy and fullness to his life. Together they worked hand-inhand to expand Nygard Bolt & Supply. They also loved to travel; their favorite trip being an annual visit to Medora for the musical. He had a wonderful laugh and a great sense of humor, often laughing until he cried. His biggest passions were his love of God, his wife, family, then work.

Orlyn was preceded in death by his parents, Edwin and Alda; sisters: Aldys Benjaminson and LaVonne Cernik; and his first wife, Joyce.

He will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Sharon; his children: Karen (Raymond) Gutterud, Gary (Deborah) Nygard, Laurie (Randy) Thompson, Mark Nygard and Wendy (Loren) Machart; ten grandchildren: Theresa Sack, Susan (Jason) Groves, Chris Gutterud, Stephen (Sherry) Nygard, Stacey Nygard, David Lueker, Jonny (Heather) Thompson, Damin Nygard, Elaine Nygard, Craig (Kari) Machart; 20 great-grandchildren; five greatgreat-grandchildren; his sisters: Sharon (Charles) Troftgruben and Nancy (Jim) Ludwick-Hassey; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins; and many other loving relatives and friends.

In lieu of flowers the family would prefer memorials made to the donor’s choice.

The Tollefson Funeral Home of Edinburg was in charge of the arrangements. An online guest book and video of the funeral service available at: www.tollefsonfuneralhome.com.

Funeral Mass was held Saturday, October 17, 2020, at Nativity Catholic Church in Fargo for Sr. Petronilla, who passed away on Wednesday, October 14, 2020, at the Eventide in Fargo. Burial was at Holy Cross North Cemetery in Fargo.

Loyola Mary Metzger was born September 27, 1919, in Hannah, the second of eleven children born to Severius and Lucy (Perius) Metzger.

She attended country schools during her elementary years and high school in Wales, St. Alphonsus High School in Langdon, and Sacred Heart Academy in Fargo, from which she graduated. In 1938, she entered the Presentation Sisters. At her reception as a novice she was given the name Sister Mary Petronilla. In 1944, she made her final profession of vows. Sister Petronilla graduated from North Dakota Agricultural College with a bachelor’s degree in education; from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. with a master’s degree in administration, and from Seattle University, Seattle, Wash. with a master’s degree in religious education. Later she received a certificate in theology from Regis College in Toronto, Ontario. She did a year’s internship in Spiritual Direction at The Cenacle Retreat House in Wayzata, Minn.

Sister Petronilla taught at St. Anthony’s School, St. Mary’s School and Shanley High School in Fargo, and was principal at St. Alphonsus High School in Langdon until the school was closed. She was adult religious

education coordinator in the Langdon area, in the Grand Forks Diocesan Office and at Blessed Sacrament Parish in West Fargo. In 1985 she began her work at Presentation Prayer Center where she served until 2013, albeit she continued to see individuals for spiritual direction until a few months before her death. In 1987 she developed the Pastoral Care Department at Riverview Place, Fargo, and was active there for ten years.

During some of this time, she also did chaplaincy work at Villa Maria in Fargo. In 1976, Sister Petronilla was elected president of the congregation and held that position for six years. Previous to that she had held the positions of Director of Aspirants, Mistress of Novices, and Administrative Council Member.

During her term as president, she was a governing board member of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and an officer of the North American Conference of Presentation Sisters. Sister Petronilla loved spending time in nature, was an avid reader, and enjoyed music.

She is survived by the members of her religious community; her sisters Marilyn Gapp (Art) and Josephine Bittner (Ken); many nieces and nephews; and sisters-in-law: Alice, Lorraine, and MaryAnn Metzger.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings: Silverius, Nestor, Emeric, Arnold, Roy, Ray, Geraldine and Maurice.

Funeral services were held on Thursday, October 15, 2020, at St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Devils Lake for Hampden native Wayne Allen Simon, 78, who went home to the Lord with his family by his side on October 12, 2020, at the Hospice House in Fargo. Burial was at Storlie Cemetery, rural Hampden.

Wayne was born December 23, 1941, in Devils Lake to Frances (Clock) and Norman Simon. He grew up on the farm near Hampden with his siblings, attending Faith Lutheran Church and graduating from Hampden Public School in 1959. He loved farming and enjoyed spending his life taking care of the land and his family. He married Helen (Lindseth) Simon on November 26, 1966, in California.

They worked together for 53 years building a farm, raising a family, and enjoying time with family and friends. They moved to Devils Lake ten years ago and spent time each winter in Mesa, Ariz. with their Sarkis Community ~ he loved the heat! Whether at home or traveling, he and Helen seemed to always be with grandchildren, family and friends enjoying visiting, playing pinocle and pool, and exploring new hikes. He was known for his work ethic, high standards, generosity and love of “Happy Hours”.

He was very proud and active in his community. He served in many ways over his lifetime, investing time in Faith Lutheran Church, the Hampden Elevator, Cenex, Northfield Township, Ramsey County

Commissioner, Ramsey County Water Basin, PCA, Farm Credit Services and more. He thrived trying to make his community stronger and better. Constantly in motion, he accomplished so much in his lifetime. He was grateful for his many friends, his beloved family and his community. He loved being with others and was very proud of his farm, family, and especially his nine grandchildren! He will be dearly missed, and he leaves this world a far better place because of all the hard work, fun, love and insights he bestowed.

Wayne is survived by his wife, Helen; daughters: Jackie (Pete) Anderson of Flower Mound, Texas, Rachelle (Troy) Romfo of Calvin, Marcy (John) Ross also of Flower Mound, and Natalie (Travis) Westlind of Hamden; grandchildren: Grant, Simon and Meredith Romfo; Beck Anderson; Garrett and Ian Westlind; Albert, Lillian and Johnny Wayne Ross; siblings: Dorothy Miller-Fenske of Carrington, Dale Simon of Iowa City, Iowa, Kay Simon of Mt. View, Calif. and Deborah (Douglas) Lunde of Ada, Mich.; in-laws: Russ Stahl of Mason City, Iowa, Jim and Sharon Homewood of Fargo, Tom and Sylvia Anderson of Menifee, Calif. and Ed and Dianna Lindseth of Norco, Calif.; and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and Aunt Jean.

He was preceded in death by grandson Blake Anderson, his parents, sibling: Geraldine Stahl, Norma Jacquelyn Simon, infant brother James and an infant sister.

Gilbertson Funeral Home of Devils Lake was in charge of arrangements.

From the Pastor’s Desk

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Karl Breddin of Langdon United Lutheran Church

This week, we wrap up our quick walk-through of the Book of Revelation. Our first week, we identified an overall theme of calling Christians to remain faithful to God and Christ, to resist evil, and trust God to bring salvation in a new Jerusalem. We then looked at the context of the seven churches which Revelation was originally written to. Last week, we explored some of the imagery in John’s vision. This week, we conclude our study.

The conflict between good and evil builds to a climax, with Christ appearing on a white horse (19:11).

The only weapon mentioned here or anywhere else in Revelation is the sword which comes from the mouth of Christ, symbolizing the power of Christ’s word. It is Christ’s word which defeats the Beast (Satan) and the false prophet (human powers which draw us away from God).

After the fall of the beast, Satan (here called the Dragon) is bound for a thousand years while the faithful reign with Christ, only to be released for a short time before being destroyed by heavenly fire (20:3).

Evil exists and stubbornly resists God’s efforts to eliminate it. But ultimately, in God’s time, represented symbolically and not literally by 1,000 years, triumph will come, and the followers of Jesus have a future with Christ.

Sometimes called Judgment Day, this is John’s vision of what the end of human history will look like.

All who have died appear before God’s throne (20:12).

The dead are raised and are held accountable for their works, as written in the books of deeds, which accounts what they have done. However, the book of life, representing divine grace, shows people being judged according to their deeds but being saved by God’s mercy and grace. We are accountable for what we do, but salvation is not dependent on our deeds but God’s mercy.

After the final judgment, John sees a new heaven, a new earth, and a New Jerusalem (21:1). God dwells among God’s people, declaring that death and grieving have passed away and gives the promise, “I am making all things new.”

The New Jerusalem is pictured as the bride to Christ (21:9), the counterpart to Babylon the whore, the city referred to earlier in Revelation which personifies oppression. The New Jerusalem represents the Christian church with its twelve gates for the nations and immense cubic dimensions symbolizing the unimaginable splendor of our dwelling place with God. The river of the water of life and the tree of life (22:2) recall the image of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and of creation unspoiled by human sin. The vision of the New Jerusalem holds the promise that the consequences of sin can be overcome so that people can find true life in the right relationship with God. This life begins in faith, but its future is endless life in the presence of God. Revelation concludes with warnings in this life against the ungodly but with promises of the blessing to be found in relationship with God and Jesus Christ (the Lamb). When we pray “Come, Lord Jesus” in the Lord’s Prayer, we proclaim that we want to be part of God’s kingdom now and for all time.

With all of it visions and imagery, Revelation can be confusing, but the book is not meant for us to decipher; perhaps, instead, it is written this way to keep us from overconfidently thinking we know exactly how or what future events will unfold. True prophecy in Revelation is less concerned with predicting the future than with witnessing to faith in God and Christ and the call to worship.

I would like to thank Susan Danielson for sharing with us one of her early paintings. The following is in Susan‘s words: “One of the first paintings I did, because I didn’t want anyone to see my very first painting. I had no idea what I was doing but wanted to try something. The one that I have here is the picture I took in 2011 when I was over in Italy with my sister and a few of her wine friends. I did say wine friends, so we had to try many different kinds of wine and also purchase some since the bottles were kind of neat. When I look at the picture, it reminds me of a wonderful week we spent walking around and touring the county. With this painting I had a lot of encouragement from my fellow Brush Bunch.“ Thanks, Susan, I am sure you had a lot of fun while emptying some of these bottles, good job. The Old Farmer reminds us: “Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.“ The cooler weather reminds us of what is ahead. Have a great week and God Bless!

Cardinals rout Spoilers 45-6 to claim 4th straight Region 2A Crown

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team met Grafton on October 16 in a battle for the Region 2A title and the top seed for the Class A 11 Man Football Playoffs. The Cards put together their best game of the year, blowing out the Spoilers 45-6. With the win, the Cards end their regular season with a 9-0 record and have now earned the overall top seed for the playoffs, which begin October 24 at home versus Thompson. The road to the Dakota Bowl will go through Langdon, and Cardinals seniors Simon Romfo, Grant Romfo, Cooper Zimmer, Alex Cluchie and Drew Simpson have now gone through their entire high school football careers without one conference loss.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich did think they played their best the week before in a 30-0 at Carrington, so they came out very focused against the Spoilers. The Cards forced a fumble by Grafton's leading running back Esgar Rios, which was recovered by Cooper Zimmer, to set up their first scoring drive. Simon Romfo threw a rocket pass to Markus Kingzett, who made a great catch of the fastball in traffic to make the score 6-0. After stopping Grafton for a three and out on their next drive, the Cardinals went right down and scored again, this time on a one yard pass from Simon to

Zimmer followed by a Grant Romfo 2-point conversion catch to make it 14-0.

The Cards defense, which has been stellar all season, again forced a Grafton punt with the Cardinals offense turning that into six more points on a 15 yard Grant Romfo reception from Simon Romfo making the score 20-0 after the first quarter.

The second quarter opened with another Rios fumble, recovered by Simon Romfo, which resulted in a Grant Romfo one yard run. The Cards then showed their running game is just as dangerous as the passing with Carter Tetrault scoring from 10 yards out followed

by Simon Romfo on a 30 yard run through nearly every member of the Grafton defense to make the score 39-0 at the half. Tetrault would find the end zone again on a tough run up the middle in the third quarter to close the scoring.

Simon Romfo started the game completing his first 11 passes, finishing 13 for 17 passing with 175 yards and three touchdowns. Simon also led the team in rushing with 70 yards, followed by Grant with 55 and Tetrault with 42. Grant Romfo had a team-leading 99 yards receiving on six catches, followed by Tucker Welsh who caught two for 33. Cole Welsh had his first career sack in the game, and Jack Romfo was one of the leading tacklers on defense, also recording a sack in the contest.

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team continued another very busy run of matches in the last week. The Lady Cards won at Rugby in an epic five set match 3-2 on October 17, swept Park River-Fordville-Lankin at home on October 19 then played two Region 4 matches in New Rockford on October 20, sweeping both New Rockford-Sheyenne and Harvey-Wells County 3-0. With the wins, the Cardinals are now 14-2 on the season and have won 11 matches in a row. Their schedule slows down a bit towards the end of the regular season. Langdon-EdmoreMunich will play at Grafton on October 27 then host Benson County on October 31, with the varsity to begin around 6:30 p.m. Their last match before the postseason will be at North Star in Cando on November 2.

After losing a hard fought first set 29-27, the Cardinals came back to win the second set 25-20. After losing set three the Cards were on the brink of losing the match but fought back to win the fourth set 25-21. They then won the decisive fifth set 15-13 after jumping out to a quick 6-1 lead.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich had their hands full defending Rugby senior middle hitter Brooke Blessum, as the the six footer and State Class B high jump champion had a game high 28 kills for the match.

After setting a program record with 52 assists against Thompson, Lady Cards freshman setter Jalynn Swanson raised the bar even higher, setting another record with 55 assists versus the Panthers.

The Lady Cards had three players reach double figures in kills for the match: Lexi Olson with 21, Morgan Freije with 19, and Cora Badding with 14. Freije had a team high 24 digs with Olson right behind with 21. The Cardinals had 11 service aces in the match with Olson having four and also five stuff blocks with Kaylee Lowery stopping four.

holding the Aggies to just one kill as a team.

The Lady Cards were nearly unstoppable from the serving line, putting down 24 aces led by Kaylee Lowery with nine and five each from Morgan Thielbar and Jalynn Swanson. Lexi Olson led the club with eight kills, three blocks and 10 digs, while Swanson had 19 assists in the victory.

Snow is here but hopefully not for long Let's begin this week by saying that the snow finally came to the Tundra on Octobrr 20, but we pray it's not here for good. The long range forecast, as unreliable as it can be, is calling for temperatures at or possibly in the 40's for the latter part of October and well into November which is fantastic stuff if that holds true. There are a number of fall events that we still hope to get in if the COVID-19 stuff stays away.

We are very fortunate in Cavalier County that we are still in the "Blue" color status which means no real restrictions at sporting events.

We can tell that Pembina County is in the green, which means no more that 200 people at an event, and they have restricted fans to just two tickets per player and cheerleader. Several other North Dakota counties are doing the same. So let's hope blue is the color Cavalier County stays with for a long time.

Stay healthy folks!

Halloween could be a huge sports day in Langdon October 31 is lining up to be a super fun day for high school sports in Langdon. Now one thing has to happen, and that's the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals football team has to win their first round playoff game versus Thompson on October 24.

Should that become reality, there would be a second Cardinals playoff game on Halloween and then that would be followed by a Lady Cards volleyball match that evening - one that was rescheduled at home at 6:30 p.m. against Benson County.

How fun it would be to see two teams that are trying to defend their state titles play on the same day.

Both teams are playing as well as they have been all season, so let's hope it happens.

State Cross Country Meet happening October 24; Cards Christianson makes All-East Region The 2020 State A and B Cross Country meets are going on October 24. They have split the meets up this year, with Class A remaining in Jamestown and Class B moved to Cooperstown.

Congratulations to LangdonEdmore-Munich sophomore Mason Christianson who made the All-

East Region team after he ran a very good 17:53 time at the East Region meet also held at Cooperstown on October 17. Mason and both the Cards boys and girls teams will now compete at State along with both teams from Pembina County North. We wish all our area athletes the best of luck in Cooperstown.

Sports writing legend Sid Hartman passes away at the age of 100 We will leave you this week with the sad news that longtime (And we mean LONG time) Minneapolis Star Tribune sportswriter and columnist Sid Hartman passed away at the age of 100.

Sid began writing for the "Strib" in 1945 (!!) and hosted a very popular radio call-in show Sunday mornings on WCCO Radio in 1955. He kept going with both, remarkably, until his death.

He had a very great career, and it wasn't only in sports media. Sid was also the man who created the Minneapolis Lakers, who of course, later turned into the Los Angeles Lakers. Sid was the general manager of the team in their early years in the Twin Cities.

So here's to Sid Hartman, rest in peace, and thank you from your many "close personal friends".

“Wow!” I said as I pulled a huge carrot out of the ground. “Now that’s a carrot!”

My daughter and I harvested our raised bed gardens the other day.

The gardens are about 3 feet tall with ample room for vegetables to grow.

I appreciate not needing to bend or use a shovel.

Some of the carrots had grown to “show them on TV newscasts” proportions. That one carrot in particular could have fed a family of four.

We enjoyed roasted carrot chunks for dinner.

Compared with the gardens of my youth, my present garden is of hobby proportions. It provided fresh lettuce and green beans for the summer instead of several months.

Tomatoes were exceptional producers this year for many people. We will have enough canned and frozen tomatoes to last until next summer.

Canning, freezing and drying vegetables and fruits are all good options for enjoying produce for many months or longer. See https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/food for more information about food preservation.

What are the best conditions for storing vegetables or fruits to enjoy fresh immediately and weeks or months after harvest? These recommendations are based on information from several universities.

Here’s a short quiz with some scenarios to test your knowledge about storing fresh produce in your home.

Guidelines differ, so I chose the most common ones.

You gleaned the last few tomatoes from the vines in your backyard. You know that tomatoes on frost-killed vines can be used fresh, in cooked dishes or frozen. Tomatoes from frost-damaged vines should not be canned due to changes in their acidity. Where should the fresh ripe tomatoes be stored for best quality? a) In the refrigerator b) In a warm spot near a sunny window c) At room temperature not in the refrigerator You had a bumper crop of winter squash and you left a part of the stem

on them when harvesting, as recommended. Curing is a form of drying that is important for long-term storage. How should butternut and Hubbard squash be “cured” prior to storage? a) Cure squash in a warm, wellventilated place b) Cure squash in a cool, dry place c) Cure squash in an oven at 200 degrees You harvested potatoes after the vines dried but before the soil froze.

You had a large harvest. To prevent potatoes from becoming “green,” where should they be stored? a) In a cool, well-lit place b) In the refrigerator at 40 F or lower c) In a cool, dark place You had a bumper crop of carrots.

Where should the newly harvested carrots be stored? a) In cool, dry conditions with 2 inches of their green tops b) In cool, moist conditions with 1/2 inch of their tops c) In cool, dry conditions with their tops trimmed to the crown of the carrot You dug your onions after the tops had fallen over and they began to dry. You left about an inch of the tops in place. Where should the newly harvested onions be stored if you want to maximize their storage life? a) In a cool, dry place after curing for two weeks b) In a cool, moist place after curing for two weeks c) In a warm, dry place without curing Here are the answers. c) Store fresh tomatoes at room temperature (or in a slightly cooler place) but not in the refrigerator.

Their flavor declines in the refrigerator but they remain safe. Expect fresh tomatoes to retain their good quality about five days at room temperature.

However, if you rinse and cut the tomatoes, be sure to place the cut tomatoes in the refrigerator. After cutting, any perishable food is safe for just two hours at room temperature, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. a) Cure winter squash in a warm, well-ventilated place for about two weeks. Store cured squash in a cool, dry place. Squash will last six months or even longer if stored properly. c) Store potatoes away from light in cool, moist conditions with some

ventilation. Exposure to light can cause potatoes to “regreen.” Before use, trim and discard the green areas on potatoes. Potatoes will become “sweeter” with cold storage, which can affect their flavor and color in cooked dishes. b) Store carrots in cool, moist conditions with their tops trimmed to 1/2 inch from the crown because carrot roots have a tendency to shrivel.

When stored properly, carrots can last many months. Prewashed or cut produce such as “baby carrots” that you buy in a grocery store should be refrigerated. a) If you plan to use onions weeks or months from now, be sure to “cure” the onions for at least two weeks before storing. To “cure” onions, spread them in a single layer in a fairly warm place (75 F) preferably with exposure to air. After curing, store the onions in cool, dry conditions.

Before storing, “clean” fresh produce by removing excess soil. Remember that water speeds spoilage, so most sources do not recommend “washing” them. However, if you choose to rinse vegetables prior to storage, be sure to dry them well.

Here’s a delicious way to enjoy fresh carrots and rosemary as we wrap up fall. Carrots are excellent sources of beta-carotene, which our bodies use to produce vitamin A. Vitamin A helps promote healthy eyes and skin.

Parmesan Rosemary Carrot Fries 3 to 4 large carrots, peeled 3 Tbsp. olive oil 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese 1 Tbsp. garlic powder Leaves from 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary, chopped 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Preheat oven to 400 F. Peel and cut the carrots lengthwise to resemble the shape of french fries. Mix olive oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, rosemary, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Add carrots and toss to coat.

Place carrots on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until carrots become slightly crispy. Turn carrots over halfway through baking.

You can rely on pasta

Celebrating Pasta Month in 2020 For nearly three decades the North Dakota Wheat Commission has celebrated National Pasta Month in October as a way to recognize the state’s dedicated durum producers and the associated durum milling and pasta manufacturing industries. To help celebrate Pasta Month, the Commission will be partnering with statewide media to provide durum and pasta facts and trivia. Readers and listeners will have a chance to win a pasta prize package, so have your ears and eyes open when October rolls around.

The theme for Pasta Month this year is “You Can Rely on Pasta”.

It was chosen because of what has played out in the real, everyday lives of consumers in the U.S. and worldwide for much of 2020, due to the social and economic disruptions caused by COVID-19. Pasta was a food choice that fit well in these challenging times, due to its versatility, nutritional qualities, affordability and reliability. As businesses, schools and restaurants closed, consumers were left to cook more at home than ever in recent times, often turning to comfort and staple foods, and pasta was a popular choice for many families.

Pasta comes in more than 600 shapes and when combined with various sauces, vegetables and protein options, it makes an incredibly versatile meal option. Contrary to what you might hear, pasta is also a very nutritious food choice. One serving of pasta provides less than 200 calories and is low in sodium yet provides nearly 25% of recommended daily fiber intake and many valuable vitamins and miner-

als. It is also one of the most economical food options, making it an attractive meal choice in uncertain times. According to National Pasta Association research, Americans pay around $1.45 for a pound of pasta that provides eight servings – that works out to less than 20 cents per serving. Lastly, pasta is a reliable choice, thanks in large part to the dedication of North Dakota producers which have kept our state as the leading producer of durum in the nation, despite economic challenges. North Dakota producers grow enough durum for roughly 13 billion servings of pasta each year.

A good share of our state’s production is processed in-state at one of these facilities: Minot Milling, a division of Philadelphia Macaroni located in Minot, N.D.; Dakota Growers Pasta Company located in Carrington, N.D.; and the North Dakota Mill in Grand Forks. North Dakota durum is also sent out of state to mills throughout the United States, and to customers around the world. Italy, Algeria, and Nigeria are the largest international buyers, but North Dakota durum also finds its way to smaller markets in Central America and Europe.

Celebrate pasta month by learning more about our state’s durum and pasta production and make one of your favorite pasta dishes.

The Wheat Commission would like to thank our dedicated Pasta Month sponsors: Dakota Growers Pasta, Philadelphia Macaroni and the U.S. Durum Growers Association.

Cavalier County Republican

Just a few miles from Tioga

By Sam Easter EDITOR’S NOTE: In the early 1900s, the state had a “live free or die” culture that encouraged self-reliance and independence from fiercely loyal political partisanship. Now, an overwhelming majority identify as Republicans. How did the electorate change from voting for a Congressional delegation of Democrats?

This series, produced by Forum News Service and the North Dakota Newspaper Association Education Foundation, seeks to answer that question. North Dakota is a deep-red Republican state, but one with a state bank and a state mill and elevator — artifacts of a socialist past. It’s a land of sprawling farms, but increasingly tied to the petroleum industry. Its history runs through angry wheat farmers and Air Force bases and floods, nestled between mountains and Midwestern sensibilities.

The series: • PART 1: Mr. Townley goes to Washington.

• PART 2: The Great Depression and prairie populism.

• PART 3: The Cold War brings air power to North Dakota.

• PART 4: Just a few miles from Tioga.

nomically viable oil well struck black gold. Natural gas was first discovered in 1892, he wrote, in sandstone stretching from Jamestown to Merricourt, and oil wells were drilled in earnest starting in the 1910s, but not much ever became of them. Bluemle notes that in 1915, one well was drilled in Ward County just 1.5 miles away from where it might have been successful, and where an oil well would be placed decades later.

But in oil — as in a lot of things — missing by a mile was as good as missing by 20. Not much would come of the state’s reserves until 1951.

This is the fourth story in a series produced by Forum News Service and the North Dakota Newspaper Association Education Foundation exploring the history of North Dakota. What shaped the moments we’re living today? And what does our history tell us about our future?

North Dakota’s relationship with oil unfolded over the next few decades in tandem with history and with the natural rhythm of oil drilling, Bluemle wrote. Production would spike after discovery — like in 1951 — then taper off, surging again alongside global price or embargo or unrest. Bluemle pointed out that OPEC’s 1970s oil embargo was one of the most important events in Williston Basin’s oil history.

Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,”

Executives with Amerada Petroleum pose with the famous photo, taken in 1951, of the site where economically viable oil was discovered in North Dakota. (Courtesy State Historical Society of North Dakota, William E. (Bill) Shemorry Photograph Collection (1-219-5) • PART 5: Earl Pomeroy and the Democrat-NPL golden years.

It was early evening in April 1951 when Bill Shemorry, managing editor of the Williston Press-Graphic, got a call from his editor. North Dakota had just changed forever.

For seven months, the Amerada Petroleum Corp. had been looking for oil on Clarence Iverson’s wheat farm, near Tioga, finding mostly nothing.

But things had changed.

“I came to the turnoff south of Tioga. A gravel road led to the well,” Shermorry recalled in “Mud, Sweat and Oil,” his 1991 book about the early oil days. Even when he was still 4 miles from the flare, it was so bright — like daytime, he wrote — that he’d thought at one point it must be just over the next hill.

“The light was so bright I didn’t worry about getting a good picture,” he later wrote. “I could easily read all the aperture and shutter settings on my 4x5 Speed Graphic.”

John P. Bluemle, former state geologist, remembered the early oil years in a 2001 pamphlet marking the 50th anniversary of that April night on Iverson’s farm, when the state’s first eco-

opened up the western half of North Dakota to enormous, renewed interest during the past 20 years. The Bakken region alone produced about 694,000 barrels of oil in 2000, according to state records; 86 million in 2010; and 186 million this year between January and May. But the oil has changed North Dakota forever. The state now depends on oil revenues so much that one industry advocate’s site proudly announces that more than 45% of the state’s 2017 tax collections came from the oil and gas industry. And the oil industry has donated handsomely to the state’s politicians and helped entrench the GOP in power in North Dakota.

But the arc of state politics is long.

UND political scientist Mark Jendrysik said that, eventually, it bends toward something like a Democratic-NPL resurgence.

"No matter what they do (in the short term), they're going to stay in power," Jendrysik said of the state Republican Party. "The unfortunate side to that, of course, it makes you sloppier. It makes the party complacent, because you think it's going to last forever."

Check us out online at www.cavaliercountyextra.com Cavalier County Commission Proceedings October 6, 2020 On October 6, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session with all members present. Meeting was available virtually via Webex due to audience restrictions in the Commission Room related to the COVID pandemic. Webex was also available in the north meeting room.

The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Lisa Gellner, Auditor, added Cindy Stremick, Treasurer, to the agenda at 8:50 a.m. David Zeis made a motion to approve the agenda with the one addition, seconded

by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried.

Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Steph Welsh, Public Health, met with the commissioners and asked if Public Health could use the north meeting room for COVID static testing on Wednesdays due to the weather turning too cold to do the testing outside. The commissioners were

in agreement. Welsh also discussed the number of active COVID cases in the county and reviewed some of the updated recommendations. Cindy Stremick, Treasurer, met with the commissioners to review the current fees for Motor Vehicle. Based on state recommendation, Stremick suggested increasing some of the fees. The commissioners were in agreement with the suggested increases. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and reviewed district gravel budgets and current project updates from KLJ. Johnston asked the commission if they wanted KLJ to inspect the minor structure bridges for $18,000 or $38,000, which would include rating load restrictions. The commissioners decided not to incur the expense and advised Johnston to do more load restrictions on any bridges that were questionable.

PURPOSE OF THE PETITION: We the undersigned landowners, petition the Cavalier County Water Resource District to accept our petition. The purpose of the drain is to improve the existing natural drainage by restoring it to original conditions or by deepening and widening certain areas to facilitate current flows in the basin. The project will also move water downstream in a manner so as not to increase flows in the East Snowflake Drain. This project will protect wetlands on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service property and remove excessive water from agricultural lands to provide a mix between the environment and wildlife interests. The project will have no effect upon the health, convenience or welfare of the residents in the drainage area. It may be necessary to improve certain crossings downstream to facilitate existing flows.

A map of the course of North Loma Drain No.2 is hereby attached and made a part of this Petition. The course of the drains as indicated on the map, may be changed as a sur-

replaced and one bridge had to be closed. The commissioners stated they needed to communicate with the roadmen that they need to keep track of signs that are needing repair/replacement.

The Federal Aid Program sheet for future projects was reviewed. The commission decided to add the County 13 gravel project and eventually the Wales road overlay would need to be added. Culvert requests from Mike Roppel north of Alsen were discussed. Johnston suggested that the requests go to the Water Board due to the wildlife easements. KLJ asked if the county wanted them to look at anything in the gorge with their drone while they were working on another project in the area.

The commissioners did not. Jared Johnson had contacted Johnston about doing brush cutting in the ditches. Stanley Dick suggested having the Weed Board spray the brush instead and use Rodeo if there was water in the ditch. Johnston informed the commissioners that Knife River would not be doing any work in Munich, so the county would not be able to get them to repair the pavement on the county road north of Munich. The commisvey by the Engineer for the Water Resources Board may require.

sioners decided they would wait until spring and see if they could get a local contractor to do it. Snowplow trucks and operators were discussed. David Zeis informed the commissioners that the operator in the Sarles District asked that the county try to find another operator for that district. Stanley Dick stated that it was possible to get a new Western Star truck delivered to Grand Forks before winter. Stanley Dick made a motion to advertise for bids on a new snowplow truck, seconded by David Zeis. A roll call vote was taken with all voting in favor. The commissioners asked Terry Johnston to see if Western Star possibly participates in a program similar to SourceWell, which would equate to state bid and would not require advertising for bids. David Zeis made a motion to advertise for a snowplow driver in the Sarles District, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

It was decided to discuss snowplow operators and trucks again at the next meeting. Lisa Gellner stated she would contact the applicants from the last help wanted ad and let them know that no decision has been made yet.

The commissioners reviewed the list of parcels for the upcoming November tax sale and put prices the parcels. David Zeis made a motion to approve the tax sale appraisal as proposed, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve a raffle permit for Our Lady Preservation, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by David Zeis, to appoint Janelle Bata and Amanda Buchweitz as State Fair Delegates, motion carried. Steph Bata, Tax Director, met with the commissioners and discussed the upcoming renewals for the Forest Stewardship Program. The commissioners were hopeful that one of the local legislators would bring a proposed increase per acre for the program to legislature in the upcoming legislative session. There was a question raised whether the commissioners could restrict approval of applications for the Forest Stewardship Program to just local or state landowners. Bata stated she would look into it. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to transfer $2,091.43 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded

by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $209.14 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road and Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried.

Welsh Chris Olson called the September 29, 2020 Special Board meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.

Dave Hart reviewed concerns of current close contact policy when the positive case is an opposing team’s athlete. Committee members have spoken with other schools to compare policies and procedures. The Activity Committee is recommending an addendum to the current policy concerning activities and what will be considered close contact. There was discussion on liability and procedure to inform players and parents. The consensus is to have a form signed by a parent of informed consent.

Stephanie Welsh reviewed close contact examples with the Board.

Ethen Askvig stated that every school handles their cases differently depending on what they are.

He reviewed forfeit procedures for games. Dave Hart stated that this addendum will change nothing if it is one of our own players that is positive for COVID. This addendum is only for opponents that are positive to eliminate a blanket close contact for players that may have never been on the court or field at the same time. Stephanie Welsh explained how close contact sport determinations are made. The six feet for 15 minutes was created considering people were at rest. In athletics the standard is different with heavier breathing being pushed out further during activity. Sharing air space during sports is why everyone that takes the court or field is considered a close contact.

Dave Hart made a motion to adopt Addendum 1A retroactively so that it is effective immediately, that reads: The Langdon Area School Board currently recognizes the six-foot bubble and 15-minute cumulative minutes of exposure for individuals to be considered for identification of close contact. The Langdon Area School Board does not recognize or accept blanket identification of individuals though competitive contact with opponents for consideration of close contact without the utilization of this standard. The Langdon Area School Board acknowledges that participation in activities is voluntary and creates the potential for higher levels of exposure and that parents reserve the right to withdraw their child from activities as they deem appropriate. Cindy Stremick seconded the motion. Roll call vote unanimously approved.

Stephanie Welsh was requested to remove players from quarantine with the newly adopted policy. She reviewed what she will need and what will be needed to send to the state for rescinding.

Dave Hart made a motion to add Addendum 1A to the Return to School plan. Cindy Stremick seconded the motion. Motion was unanimously carried.

Dave Hart made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Tyler Feist seconded the motion. Motion was unanimously carried. Meeting Adjourned at 6:54 p.m.

Cavalier County Republican

Report From the Legislature

The number of legislative meetings that occur before the legislative session every two years seems to keep increasing each biennium. With COVID-19 most of them are by TEAMS over the computer or by conference call. That seems to just make it easier for people to call a meeting. It certainly cuts down on travel, but I am sure the number of meetings is more than usual.

Since my last report was a wrap up of my interim committees and news of legislators getting new computers, I will report on some of the many meetings I’ve had in the last week to ten days.

I had a chance to meet the new state director for the Parks and Recreation Agency. She is Dr. Andrea Travnicek, and she was at Icelandic State Park. I had met her in years past, but she is in a new role now as director. I believe she will do a great job. She laid out some of her plans going forward for the ND state parks and Icelandic State Park. She was accompanied by Justin Robinson of Cavalier who is the regional director for our area.

The next day was a web meeting hosted by the Council of State Governments (CSG) Midwest. It was an update on the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA) that replaced the North America Free Trade Agree-

ment (NAFTA). I am one of the ND legislators appointed to that committee. The USMCA seems to be a big improvement over NAFTA as certainly ND and MB are very happy with the agreement that was pushed by President Trump. It is expected to pay huge dividends over the coming years with increasing and more fair trade between our countries. Farmers should be big beneficiaries of this agreement.

The webinar was a summary of how it works and the benefits we should see going forward. Those on the call from Michigan and Ontario seemed to think it would be a big bump to the automobile industry, and Minnesota seemed to think they would be a beneficiary of the steel agreements in the deal.

The next day was a meeting in Hamilton which I attended in person.

I was so impressed with Enbridge, Michels, the labor union workers, and the native Americans who were all on the same page at this event. It was a “thank you” to Pembina County and ND for the great cooperation they had working on the pipeline passing through Pembina County. It is only 12.5 miles of new improved pipeline, but they put over $60M into that stretch of pipeline in the last four months. That doesn’t include all the money the workers spent in the local businesses, gas stations, cafes, and motels. The new thicker pipe and technology employed is a big improvement over the old pipeline they had in our area. I found it amazing that in the four months they were here with their 200 to 400 workers, no one contracted Covid-19, and no one had a reportable injury. As a result, there were no work delays. Safety pays! Everyone I talked to from the company, the workers, and the local businesses had nothing but

good to say about the project. Now they are on to MN where the permits and paperwork is not going to go as smoothly it sounds like. Canada, ND, and WI are completed. I want to add that they donated $10,000 to the Pembina County Transit/meals on wheels program as a thank you to the area, too.

The next morning, I had a meeting via TEAMS with the Bank of ND (BND). They were giving the legislators on the standing Appropriations Committee a preview of their plans and needs for the ’21-‘23 biennium, as well as an update on what they have done during the COVID-19 episode.

Here are some of the highlights: Due to the Covid-19 they deferred interest and payments on student loans (27% of their loan portfolio), commercial loans (about $425M in loans), and residential loans (about $23M in loans).

The 6 month deferral is about up, but they are considering another renewal of that. They lowered term rates for students by 1% for the rest of their student loan term. They deposited $1.25B in CARES money and are sending that out as required, but not all is spent, so they continue to earn interest on that. They are seeing an uptick in ag loans by almost $70M. Their income is down due to lowered interest rates and deferrals plus putting $12M more than usual into market loss reserves for possible defaults. Overall, their income is about $30M to $40M below expectations in 2020 compared to 2019 income. This means their profits will be down and the transfers we generally get from them into the state’s general fund will be about $40M less than last biennium, further straining our general fund.

Going forward, they plan and hope

MISCELLANEOUS

Rep. David Monson R – District 10

the 2021 legislature will agree to: increase the AgPACE program from $2M to $5M (mainly to promote the livestock industry in ND). Increase the beginning farmer program from $5M to $8M. Set up a permanent disaster recovery program revolving loan fund. Merge the Community Water Loan Fund and State Water Commission revolving loan fund (Rep. Schmidt, my vice chairman on my Education and Environment section is looking at this). Setting up or starting an Infrastructure Financing Program (possibly a revolving bonding or loan fund). Doing another $75M transfer from the Common Schools Trust Fund to the School Construction Loan Fund.

Unifying the BND IT Department with the ND IT Department to save money.

Collaborating with the ND Housing Finance Agency to end duplicate programs. There were more details and ideas, but these are the main topics.

That evening as I was heading to Bismarck for an insurance meeting the next day, I participated in a conference call on a webinar sponsored by the International Legislators Forum (the ILF). Thank goodness for hands free phone connections in my vehicles. The ILF was set up about 20 years ago to try to hammer out the details of the flooding of Devils Lake and then Stump Lake, the Red River, and on into Canada. It consists of mostly legislatures from eastern ND, western MN, northern SD, and southern MB. There about 12 legislators from each area. I am one of the original members. Since the water issue with MB has been mostly solved, we have moved into other topics pertinent to us all. The Opioid problem was the main topic last year.

This year we, of course, are discussing Covid-19 and how each state/prov-

ince is coping. That was what the topic was last Thursday night.

Today, October 21, I had three legislative meetings all by TEAMS. The first was a meeting with the Adjutant General of ND. Again, a lot of talk about COVID-19 and the effects on the National Guard in ND and how they are coping. They also showed some of the videos from their activities at Camp Grafton and the training facilities there. They ended with their plans and requests for the 2021 legislative session. They are our first line of defense during crises, floods, and emergencies of all kinds as well as operators of the state radio system for law enforcement. We need to keep them as whole as we can.

The second meeting in the afternoon was with OMB and preparing us for the October 28 Budget Section meeting. This was mostly about what is being brought to the emergency commission on behalf of DPI and the local schools as to the federal funds through CARES/ESSER. It appears the rules have changed and given schools much more flexibility on spending those funds, more available funds, and easier reporting to the federal government. Because this is a precursor to the actual Budget Section meeting and not finalized, they asked us to not share too many details yet as it could change. The 3rd meeting of the day is about the same agenda only it deals with Higher Education instead of K-12. I can include more details on these meetings in my next legislative report in about a week.

Questions or ideas; send them to me at dmonson@nd.gov or call me at 701496-3394. Stay safe and stay healthy!

Cavalier County Republican

By Rita Maisel

Father St. Pierre: The original of the story which follows appeared in the Cavalier County Republican on March 6, 1913, and was probably found while browsing through bound volumes of the newspapers located at the Cavalier County Museum after centennial books for Olga and Langdon had been published. The notes were made in relatively legible, long ago shorthand and not dated which indicates it was not found at the courthouse, newspaper office or library since those sites would have had copying machines by that time. Realizing the obituary was about Rev. Father Cyrille St. Pierre, the earliest resident priest in Cavalier County, I copied the basic facts in shorthand and took it home planning to transcribe it later. The notes survived, but no typed copy has surfaced in what might be 35 or more years. What follows is a combination of the original obituary along with known information from early issues of the Cavalier County Courier established in 1885.

Father Cyrille St. Pierre was not the first priest to set foot in what would be North Dakota since several priests stationed at Pembina had traveled with the fur traders on their summer hunting trips as early as the 1840-1850 era. Their journeys are recorded in fur trade journals and a book by artist Paul Kane as well as other writers. However, Father St. Pierre was the first resident priest in this part of North Dakota, assigned by Bishop Marty and had charge of the missions from Walhalla to Langdon and Mt. Carmel.

He lived in Olga from 1882 to 1886 (Olga book), and several family stories list him in a group of Olga settlers who walked from Pembina to Olga in 1882. That group also

included J. B. Beauchamp, Frederick Charbonneau, and Charles and Antoine Marcelin. All might have family or relatives here today.

Cyrille St. Pierre was born in 1846 at St. Jerome, Quebec, which was close to the birthplaces of several longtime Olga residents.

Maps show it as a larger city, and it might also have been a district name. Future Father St. Pierre went to Catholic schools in Montreal, as did Manitoba and Saskatchewan future leaders, as well as Cavalier County Canadian-born settlers like H. E. Dorval and George Barcelo.

Louis Riel was another they would all know at school in Montreal and later at St. Boniface.

Father St. Pierre worked his way through college and the theological course at St. Joseph’s Seminary in New Brunswick. He was sent to Manitoba as a missionary priest and founded a church at Baie St. Paul, Man. There was also a place in Quebec named Bai St. Paul where some original Olga settlers had lived, so as a priest Father St. Pierre was known by both groups of people.

The settlement in Manitoba was on low land, and floods there caused the parish members to seek higher ground. This, they found at Olga.

In the early days some of the people followed the priest to that site. He is credited with assisting early settlers in locating land in the eastern part of the county.

The obituary lists Father St. Pierre with several “firsts” - he was the first postmaster at Olga, the first notary public for legal documents, although soon after W. J. Mooney might have claimed that designation. Father St. Pierre began school for the children, and because he was more educated than most of the settlers, people who wanted to teach came to have him proctor their teaching exams before they were hired. The earliest teacher reports for the school at Olga listed Mrs. Josephine Chaput (later Perron), E.J. Fox, Fred Borusky, and H. E. Dor-

Langdon Long Ago

val among their teachers. Borusky, who had come from New York state with a classical education (speaking Latin and Greek) to his students at the Hotel de Log, found they were only fluent in French or what is now known as Mitchif—partly Indian and partly French. In that case the teacher learned a new language.

There were few issues of the early newspapers in Langdon that did not report news from Olga and especially news of Father St. Pierre who held services for Catholics at Langdon on a regular basis. Celebrating St. John, or possibly St. John de Baptiste Day in June with a community bazaar, got good newspaper coverage. So did the Canadian news of Louis Riel and the Northwest Rebellion at Duck Lake (less than 20 miles from Marcelin, Sask.), a town named for his longtime friend Antoine Marcelin. Gabriel Dumont, Gadaire family members and others participated in the rebellion battle in May of 1885. After a long and unfair trial (still debated 135 years later), Sir John McDonald, then premier of Canada, ordered the death of Meti leader Riel with newspaper coverage at Langdon awaited by both sides of the controversy. Riel’s funeral was held in St. Boniface, and Louis was buried with honors at the Cathedral in December. Old friends then living in Langdon and Olga attended. His grave is a tourist attraction for historians and descendants even today.

After several years at Olga, Father St. Pierre was transferred to Western Dakota as a missionary and after statehood to South Dakota. One of his final assignments was to Houston, Texas. Beloved of the old settlers of the early 1880s, he had kept in contact with several who had also come from St. Jerome, and at the time of his death, Antoine Marcelin was at his bedside. The obituary does not list the site of his burial.

Thinking About Health

No relief from high drug prices in the near future

If you were hoping that this was going to be the year of government action to lower prescription drug prices, I’m here to say that is not going to happen – even though the House of Representatives passed far-reaching legislation almost a year ago that would allow Medicare to begin negotiating drug prices for beneficiaries.

Recall that the 2003 law that made possible a prescription drug benefit for seniors prohibits the government from negotiating with drug companies in order to lower prices. The Senate has not taken up the bill, and Congress will have to start over in the next session.

In late summer President Donald Trump issued four executive orders that might have given Americans hope that help was on the way. One order would have allowed some drugs to be imported from Canada.

Another made changes in the way discounts negotiated by pharmacy benefit managers are passed on to Medicare beneficiaries, and a third would have required governmentsponsored dispensaries to make insulin and epinephrine available to low-income Americans without health insurance or who have insurance with high copays. Dispensaries were already making those drugs effectively free for low-income patients.

Then in mid-September the president announced a fourth order that would allow Medicare to refuse to pay for drugs in the U.S. that cost more than what they do in other countries, a policy sometimes called international reference pricing or “most favored nations” policy.

All these proposals are pretty much empty promises until there is a concrete legislative or regulatory framework for implementing them.

They are, in effect, symbolic political gestures. “An executive order does not necessarily do anything,” says Loren Adler, associate director of the USC-Brookings Schaeffer Initiative for Health Policy. “They lack pretty critical details, and the actual rules do not exist.”

Legal scholars also raised questions about how these proposals would actually work. Rachel Sachs of the Washington University School of Law and Nicholas Bagley of the University of Michigan School of Law noted, for example, when it comes to importing drugs from Canada, the government “has offered very limited guidance to the states on how they might show that

importation might reduce costs.”

The president also announced one more initiative: sending a $200 drug discount card to millions of seniors to help pay for some of their medications, which certainly can be high.

Such a card would hardly dent the bill for some of the newer medications such as those used to treat Crohn’s disease that can cost upward of $20,000 for a course of treatment.

Trump said the cards would be “incredible.” But getting them into the hands of Medicare beneficiaries is proving to be less than easy. The general counsel at the administration’s Department of Health and Human Services warned last week that the plan could violate election law by inappropriately using federal funds only a few weeks before an election. The plan, estimated to cost around $8 billion, would be paid for by taking money out of one of the Medicare trust funds. One trust fund is financed by payroll taxes and pays for beneficiaries’ Part A hospital coverage. The other fund is financed by funds from Congress and premiums beneficiaries pay for Part B physician and outpatient services and for Part D drug coverage.

A report from Medicare’s trustees released last spring noted the Part A fund is “not adequately financed over the next 10 years.”

It’s hard to see how sending current beneficiaries a one-time small gift card won’t make a looming problem for Medicare even worse.

While it seems that official proposals to lower prescription drug prices won’t make a difference any time soon, the main patient advocacy group working on the problem of high drug prices is trying to keep the issue alive. David Mitchell, who heads Patients for Affordable Drugs, told me, “We want to do everything in our power to ensure drug prices are part of the election.”

He said the group is calling on people nationally and in 15 key battleground states to vote for candidates who will stand up to Big Pharma and fight for lower drug prices.

I have never seen this much public interest in pharmaceutical prices during an election campaign. In many states, candidates for major U.S. Senate races are touting their records on prescription drugs and plans for dealing with high prices should they be elected.

Yet reality intrudes. Says Dr. Peter Bach who heads the Center for Health Policy Outcomes at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, “It is very hard to

fix drug pricing in the U.S.” What strategies do you use to lower your prescription costs? Write to Trudy at trudy.lieberman@gmail.com.

lier County Republican received a request for information about a little girl who had lived in Langdon as a small child. She was born in Grand Forks in 1935 but came to live with grandparents in Langdon.

Since the grandparents had lived first at Leroy, then at Olga and had retired in Langdon, could there be obituaries that might list other family members? Living family members wanted to know what had happened to this little granddaughter.

And so, this began correspondence with adopted family members in Pennsylvania. The clipping file at the Cavalier County Library had obituaries for more than one family by the name given, and they were sorted out and e-mailed to them. The right family had been located, and in contacting relatives they learned the little girl had been taken to an orphanage in Langdon where she stayed for two years.

Langdon does not have an orphanage, but the girl had started school at St. Alphonsus about the time her grandmother died. Since the family spoke French at home, she struggled in an English-speaking school. Possibly while her grandmother was ill, she could live with people who would help her learn English. For several years St. Alphonsus school had students who lived during the week at the school, so the sisters found room for this little girl. Two years later she went to live with other relatives and ended up going to Washington state during World War II with family members who changed her name but may not have adopted her. Last week a message came that thanks to the obituaries, they had located relatives that gave them the name of a town in Ontario.

With the help of a phone blook they were able to make contact with her.

I am not sure if it was her daughter or granddaughter who began the search, but the family is delighted.

Because of the pandemic and closed borders, they could not meet in person, but a conference call had been arranged.

Command and I’ll Pray: No, I was not running a temperature from the virus or from a flu shot or even a shingles shot received last week although all three have been suggested as possibilities over the last few days. What happened was I woke up at 4 a.m. with the song “Command and I’ll Pray” running

thru my mind. I could remember the tune and about three lines of the words but not the rest of the lyrics.

Because the song seemed to want to be found, I tried books at my house with no luck and then books at the church - again without success.

Being told you can find anything on the internet, I tried that as well but Yahoo, Google and even Wikipedia failed me. E-bay had a 45-speed record for sale without the singer or the composer listed. My brother once had a 45-speed record player which he and his friends had built that played many records no one would dream of having around today. But my brother and his record collection are both long gone.

Then, by chance, on listing the song title for the umpteenth time, the name George Beverly Shea came up. Rodney had also had a large collection of records featuring George Beverly Shea. This was the kind of song he might have sung and recorded. Checking further it listed not only Shea but Billy Graham and Cliff Barrows all featured in films made in Texas under the names “Mr. Texas” and “Oil Town U.S.A.” designed by the Graham organization to be shown in churches. Plus, I did remember singing the song originally along with two other songs that were also featured in those movies of 1951 and 1953, but we had sung them in Colorado in the late 1950s. The other two songs were “Lord Keep Your Hand on Me” and “Each Step of the Way”.

Both can be found today in books that contain country gospel music - in other words - songs that guitar players might like.

When a song is hard to find, you call Poppler’s. They did not have it either and had nothing that looked like music that might have been used in Billy Graham Crusades.

There have been hundreds of crusades over the years and around the world. I suspect that there might have been music or records for sale at most of the Crusade events. If anyone reading this happens to have this song on a record or in a book, would you please share the words? The parts of the song I remember indicate it is a song that might be very appropriate for our current world situation, and after days of searching I am curious to know the lyrics myself.

her term, the following judgeship will be considered an appointed position to be selected by the governor of North Dakota. This development will now trigger the process of whether Cavalier County will retain their judgeship. This is of concern to the Commission and to the people of both Cavalier County and Pembina County, as Cavalier and Pembina counties are the only dual chamber residing under one judge in all of North Dakota. The concern we are facing is that the state may wish to appoint judgeship of our counties to another district. It was posited under this change a judge from Grafton, Devils Lake, or Grand Forks may travel to Cavalier County to hear cases. Beauchamp expressed concerns that with inclement weather and current COVID issues, it isn’t unrealistic to expect the possibility of online Zoom application hearings being implemented under this framework. Furthermore, if this were implemented, recording duties would be transferred to clerk offices as the county would no longer have a dedicated recorder. With the Commission agreeing that retaining dual chamber would be preferable and almost necessary to retain our judgeship, steps moving forward were discussed. It was brought up that retaining our current system would not reflect any additional cost to taxpayers. The Commission's next step will be to submit a draft that has been compiled by Scott Stewart to the Clerk of Supreme Court.

This draft has been confirmed and is ready to be submitted before the October 28 deadline. The Supreme Court will then decide on the fate of our judgeship and advertise to fill the position should they find reason to preserve it.

Following this Sheriff Greg Fetsch stated in his report that with Dr. Emerson no longer employed at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital, we are in need of an official coroner.

Fetsch has acted as interim coroner on one account in his absence. He then contacted the hospital and was instructed that he or any deputy could attend six unique classes to be certified in this area. This would be at a cost of roughly $500. It was also stated that of the six classes, only two may be necessary for certification in our unique circumstance. Several individuals expressed interest in certification. The commissioners countered that they would prefer the sheriff fill this role as his position is more concrete and less susceptible to turnover. This position would typically be filled by a doctor, as it would include filling out death certificates requiring knowledge of specific medical terms. A decision of appointing an official coroner was tabled until the November meeting.

Meanwhile, Fetsch will continue research on this issue.

Jamie Nelson IT and Tyler Technology had representatives present to address issues with a September 23rd email that Tyler Techs’ system suffered a security breach. At the time, Tyler Tech recommended a change of password and remote access credentials for the Tyler Tech application.

Although no known clients were affected, that change was

implemented as a precautionary measure. Software Innovations, who manage payroll and software for the county, were also notified. Concern for sensitive data handled by Software Innovations was brought to the forefront of conversation. Jamie Nelson said that it would be beneficial to obtain an additional dedicated server to house SI’s Docupro software. Currently, this software resides on the same server as the domain controller which isn’t typically recommended because it houses sensitive information such as employee social security numbers, tax information, and county financial information. Migrating this data to a second server would reduce liability and further secure it from potential security breaches. It was stressed that this isn’t an issue with Tyler Technology but rather a security issue regarding hacking that happens every day throughout the industry. While the current system implements a backup system to recover lost data, this does not prevent data from being stolen. After a long discussion on cost and implementation, the Commission moved to a roll call vote to approve a one-time $3,500 cost to purchase a new server which will cover the next 7 years. This motion was carried.

Finally, during the county road report, the commissioners arrived at a decision regarding securing a new District 4 truck plow. Developments followed up discussion from last meeting. There was a need to purchase a truck for Langdon District 4, as the previous truck is not in usable condition. This would increase current county trucks from 4 to the previous standard of 5, reflecting one truck per district. A bid was obtained at $163,000. There is currently $185,000 in the equipment budget to cover this cost.

Commissioner Stanley Dick was in support of this purchase; he feels it is important for the residents of District 4 as all district areas pay taxes and expect that all areas should have the same right to efficient service in a timely fashion. County Road Superintendent Terry Johnston agreed with Dick and said that, in his opinion, the county should have 5 trucks in total. He also noted, while the past 5 years haven’t produced as hard of winters as the county is accustomed to, once a hard season hits, that’s when this equipment is necessary to efficiently maintain county roads. Currently, District 4 has 2 motor grader units to handle snow removal. It was argued an additional truck could reduce wear and tear on other units.

It was also discussed whether the purchase would be a justifiable use of taxpayer money. Commissioner David Zeis made a motion to purchase a truck for District 4. Stanley Dick seconded the motion. It was moved to a roll call vote. Votes reflected: Greg Goodman no, Austin Lafrenz no, Nick Moser no, Stanley Dick yes, David Zeis yes. With the motion being denied by a majority of the Commission, discussion moved forward concerning leaving current trucks in the Munich and Sarles areas.

The next official Commission meeting will occur Thursday, November 5.
