It may be February but some avid gardeners are already thinking about their 2020 garden.

Starting early and getting the seeds and sprouts going to be transplanted into the famously fertile ground of the area may yield more than just a bountiful crop this year for those with an entrepreneurial spirit.

The Northern Plains Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council conducted a feasibility study on the potential for locally grown food to be a source of revenue. The study, conducted over the summer of 2019, sought to determine if it was possible to expand local food opportunities. To accomplish this objective, the council first had to discover if the current level of supply was meeting the existing demand.

“We are confident that the potential demand for most products is far greater than supply, creating an opportunity for local food producers in many categories,” the Northern Plains RC&D Council states in their report.

With an adequate supply, more buyers can be served, and current buyers may be more willing to develop new uses for local foods that would further expand the demand. The Council supports their assessment with another study that was published by the University of Minnesota that found localized food production and local food

markets “provide a substantial economic benefit to communities and regions”.

“What is missing in our region is a comprehensive understanding of the entire market demand and supply potential with different distribution venues such as through direct sales, wholesale through local grocers, or to institutions like schools,” the

Council said.

The study was conducted across the 10 county service areas of the Northern Plains RC&D Council. Those counties include Benson, Cavalier, Eddy, Nelson, Pierce, Pembina, Ramsey, Rolette, Towner and Walsh counties. Within this area, there is currently limited numbers of local food producers and venues which sell these types of products. The study, as a whole, was

designed to have “local foods” be broadly based to allow for a better understanding of the market demand and the market supply.

Northeast North Dakota - potential farmers market goldmine

Council explained.

The collection of surveys and interviews of producers and buyers gave the feasibility study results that they hope will build an economic response. The primary result was that, as a whole, producers could benefit from cooperative services such as community certified kitchens, innovative delivery options, and versatile social media options to better match buyers with pro-

ducers.

“The public is all about saving time and price. Farmers Markets are not always convenient. Extra marketing to connect the public with the producers and innovative delivery would garner more sales and a happy customer,” the Council stated.

The council believes that overall, based on this study and feedback from public focus groups, the potential demand for local food items is greater than the supply. Potential buyers range from the private individual looking for a side dish for supper to organizations like restaurants, schools and hospitals seeking “local food” to add to their menus.

“With adequate supply, buyers would be willing to develop their local food needs. Lessening the obstacles between producers and buyers would provide economic benefits to communities in northeast North Dakota,” the Council said.

In Cavalier County, the Rendezvous Region Langdon Farmers Market (RRLFM) began in 2004 with the inception of the North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association (NDFMGA). That year the NDFMGA began offering $500 mini grants to communities that wanted to start a farmers market. Through the Langdon Area Chamber of Commerce agriculture committee, an application was presented, and Langdon received the initial $500 grant and continues to receive $500 every cont. on page 2

Watch LASD activities LIVE online and on TV

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor For those unable to come to Langdon Area School District activities occurring in the gym, a brand new service is being offered courtesy of the Cardinal Sports Boosters.

With the Boosters support, the

school is now able to provide online streaming of games and events like concerts.

“Having the streaming service is great as it allows Cardinals fans from outside of our local community to watch all of our Cardinal activities. We are thankful for the Cardinal Sports Boosters for their help in providing this opportunity,” LASD Athletic Director Ethen

The online streaming of the Cardinal activities from the high school gym is possible thanks to the NFHS Network.

Langdon City Commission meeting

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor The Langdon City Commission held a short meeting on Monday, February 10. The meeting concerned mostly business as usual agenda items.

Gerald Marcotte attended the meeting and asked the Commission to reconsider the request to purchase city-owned land in the Lakeview addition.

The city has previously denied requests for the 45 foot wide property because of a water line that runs through it. Langdon City Water Department Supervisor Jason Busse explained that while the maps show the line going through the middle, it could be off as much as 10 feet, providing Marcotte with the required 28 feet for his garage project.

The City Commission explained that with this new information, and an agreement from Marcotte, that should the line ever need to be repaired, Marcotte would be liable for the cost of accessing the line. The request was tabled until closer to spring thaw.

The commissioners received and reviewed the contract for Airborn Custom Spraying. Commissioner Lawrence Henry stated that the aerial map needs to be adjusted as it is currently too close to the Langdon Area Research Center which conducts insect trials. The Commission approved the contract pending the map adjustment, which Henry will handle.

Commission Chair Jerry Nowatzki stated that the issue of snow removal from sidewalks needed to be addressed with a few property owners. Nowatzki explained that the city ordinance places snow removal from sidewalks as the property owner's responsibility, and

there were currently properties that were not removing snow causing neighboring properties to not receive mail. The city will be sending notice to the owners in violation to remove the snow or have the city remove it and be billed.

The Fire Department Relief Association receives an annual donation of $2,000 from the City of Langdon. This year the association requested an increase to $3,000 as there will be more people drawing from the fund than in years prior. The Commission discussed and ultimately approved the increased donation.

In Other Business • Newly appointed commissioner Darin Kaercher will take over the vacant City Commission spot on the Cavalier County Job Development Authority board.

• The Commission approved the designation of depository from Choice Bank.

• The Commission approved a housing incentive application for Brandon and Brooke Downs.

ebrates and showcases the unique accomplishments of students whether they are a student-athlete participating in the 27 different sports covered by the Network or one of the student broadcasters from schools around the country that produce events through the School Broadcast Program.

All the action and events are brought to fans across the country thanks to a Pixellot camera.

“Many graduates, grandparents and Cardinal fans from across the United States will now be able to watch the many great activities that we host in our gym- everything from volleyball and basketball games to the elementary and high school concerts,” Askvig stated.

“A benefit of the Pixellot camera and partnership with the NFHS Network is that the camera functions by itself. It does not require an individual to man the camera, but through technology, it is able to follow the live action providing a great angle to fans.”

Another benefit to the camera is that finding volunteers

to film the elementary, middle school and JV games was difficult. With the installation of the Pixellot camera, that issue has been solved and provides the opportunity for all levels to be covered. LASD is not alone in this adaptation of technology.

Currently, 24 other North Dakota schools are enrolled in the service.

Askvig shared that LASD has also entered into a partnership with United Communications and Cardinal Vision as well.

Currently, viewers can watch replays of home and away activities, check lunch menus, and get other school related information on that channel.

“Our business teacher, Mr. Groth, and his multimedia class have done a great job with the content on the channel, and we expect that to only increase as we learn more each day.

Overall, the online streaming through the NFHS Network and the Cardinal Vision partnership with United Communications are exciting opportunities for our school to share so many of the great things that our

Melissa’s Musings

By Melissa Anderson

Is it over yet?

Some things are just so terrible, so horrible, so cringe-inducing that you simply cannot wait for it to end.

Experiences like this can make you a better person, or so I’m told. Personally, I can think of better ways to become a better person.

You know, of course, about what I’m referring to. It’s on just about everybody’s mind and is consuming so much of my time that it’s shocking I have time to sit still and enjoy a cup of coffee. The amount of information coming in on what could happen, what has happened, how to fix it, how to prevent the undesired outcome, etc... is beyond overwhelming. Each and every entity that can comment has.

So, who do you follow? Who do you trust to give the best answers?

Who is being accurate, and who is twisting things to fit their needs or agenda? Hard to say. All I know is that I can’t wait till this is over.

Of course, even once the end is reached, there will still be bellyaching and controversy on what could have prevented and what should have happened. As a whole, humanity is rarely fully satisfied. Even more so when emotions run high.

Still, we are only in the beginning stages. It’s hard to imagine what it will be like once this is all over with. Hopefully more peaceful, but I highly doubt it. After all, many are invested in the outcome they want.

Some people may have even “bet the farm” so to speak on what they hope to have happen. At this point, it is entirely too early to tell what will happen when this is all over.

For the moment though, the beginning stages are painful to witness. It’s a tough thing to call and even more so with so many different possibilities as well as factors that can affect the outcome. These variables that make it tough are also the very things that are needed to make the entire thing possible to reach it’s end.

So, with so much at stake and so little control left to the individual, all many of us can do is sit and wait. Suffer through. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. But really there is not a thing at the micro scale that could or can be done at this point to determine what the macro result will be.

So until whatever the “it” is for you that has you up at nights, angry, scared, cringing and just downright irritable is over, hang in there.

It will soon be over.

Respecting nature in winter…

When I see people walking around outside wearing shorts when it’s 5 degrees, or those who don’t have gloves or some kind of head gear at that temperature, they’re taking a huge risk. I learned to respect the cold a long time ago but have gotten myself into situations since that made me think why I didn’t learn a better lesson when I was 19.

• At 19 years old, I was living at home in Hazelton, and I was dating a girl in Wishek, 50 miles to the southeast. Her name was Gloria Schock, and I don’t know what ever happened to her, but if she or any of her friends or relatives are reading this, please tell her 'Hi' from me! Anyway, Gloria and I had a date planned so I set out to drive to Wishek, pick her up and go bowling. When I drove through Linton, I noticed the temperature on a marquee on the credit union. It was about 6 p.m. on a Sunday night, and the temperature was 38 below zero. OK, that’s getting down there, but at least there wasn’t any wind. It was just calm and cold.

By the time I got to Wishek, the heater had gone out of my 1972 Mustang, so I stopped at Gloria’s house and told her I had to turn around and go right back. Those 50 miles back to Hazelton were probably the longest 50 miles I’ve ever driven. I was prepared for a cold night but nothing like how it turned out. I had thick gloves, extra socks and plenty

just a few feet, but when I turned around to walk back, that cold took my breath away, and it couldn’t have been more than 30 feet back to my vehicle.

When I got the bundle secured and put it in the cab, I had to sit there on the highway for a few minutes just to get my bearings before driving the remaining 20 miles back to Langdon. Those were the days when my pride was so strong, I was going to deliver that newspaper, the newspaper I was responsible for even if it killed me, and it probably would have if that bundle of papers was 50 feet or more back instead of 30 feet.

• A third, and, perhaps, comical situation happened near New Rockford in 1987. Our National Guard unit had to do some winter training, and it was extremely cold. So cold, in fact, that when we stopped to eat our MRE lunch, everything in the package was frozen solid if it had any moisture in it. I recall breaking off a piece of hot dog and putting it in my mouth to thaw it out before I could chew it.

These examples are my own and are presented to illustrate what extreme cold can do to the human body. You may have been in worse situations, you may think I’m a total nut job for being out in those conditions, or you can see the caution here.

We all have to respect the cold when it gets down to those extremes and wearing shorts or a thin jacket isn’t going to cut it. In fact, if you’re going out with less than survival gear, you might as well sign your own death warrant or the consent form to amputate.

of layers to wear in case something like that did happen.

Think about this for a moment.

That trip took a little less than an hour, so I was exposed to that temperature about an hour. When I got home, I couldn’t feel my fingers or toes, and my cheeks felt like I was being stabbed with 1,000 needles. It took a long time to “thaw out” after that trip, and since that time, I’ve taken even more precautions just in case this would happen again because you know, if your car is going to break down, it’s going to pick the depth of winter to do it.

• In early 1997, the Walsh County Record published the Cavalier County Republican for us. I went to Grafton one Friday afternoon to pick up the bundles of papers for the Langdon post office. The weather was lousy. It was approximately 20 below, and there was a strong northwesterly wind blowing snow which reduced visibility to about 100 feet. While I was there, the weather became progressively worse, and instead of heeding the warning of John Morgan and his sister, Jackie Thompson, I set out for Langdon, a trip of 65 miles against the wind.

John Morgan wouldn’t let me leave the building until I agreed to take his cell phone in case I stalled.

As luck would have it, as I got up on flat ground west of the Walhalla intersection, a bundle of newspapers got sucked out of the back of my truck even though I had the box covered with a tarp. The visibility was terrible, but I could see the bundle a few feet back sitting there on N.D. Highway 5. I walked back to get it,

Dear Editor, Elsie Magnus, Chairman of the District 10 Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party (Dem-NPL), is incorrect in her recent letter “Helping women and their families - isn’t that truly prolife,” when she attributes a lack of pro-life convictions of District 10 legislators because none of them fulfilled a request by a citizen in the district to sponsor legislation regarding medical assistance eligibility. Although not sponsors of the bill to increase medical assistance eligibility for pregnant women in poverty, all three District 10 Republican legislators voted in favor of the legislation sponsored by Rep. Alisa Mitskog (Democratic-District 25) and three other Democrat legislators.

Elsie Magnus’s suggestion that Rep. Mitskog is pro-life because she was a willing sponsor of the medical assistance eligibility bill is not validated by her voting record.

As recent as January 28, 2019, Rep. Mitskog voted against a prolife bill supported by every pro-life organization in our state. Seventythree of the eighty-nine North Dakota House members voted in support of the Abortion Pill Reversal Informed Consent law, relating to informed consent requirements before an abortion. This overwhelm-

ing number of legislators believed women have the right to complete information regarding their health decisions. Women not only have the right to be informed; they want to know their options.

The Abortion Pill Reversal Informed Consent law helps women and their families by acknowledging women are strong, capable, and should have the right to know if they change their mind after taking the first abortion pill that they may be able to reverse the chemical abortion procedure. The Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) Hotline Medical Director, who has overseen thousands of calls, stated that when women are given the opportunity to reverse the effect of the abortion pill, they are extremely grateful.

All three District 10 Republican legislators have long pro-life voting records. Perhaps, if the Chairman of the District 10 Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party truly values pro-life leaders, she should give recognition to the legislators in her district whose voting records indicate long-standing convictions of helping women and children.

Keeping your credit file safe North Dakota State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt Have you noticed when you turn on the TV, there always seems to be a new financial scam? We are warned of hackers, identity thieves, or the latest financial cyber threat. In 2019, $8.5 billion was spent on funding cybersecurity. It, unfortunately, has become a priority of mine to ensure my information, and that of my family remains safe. It can be a full-time job keeping passwords safe, monitoring accounts for fraud, and practicing safe shopping while online. The one-piece that typically gets forgotten is protecting our credit file information? Our credit files accessible through Equifax, Experian and TransUnion are a gold mine to those “naughty” folks.

When you freeze your credit report lenders can’t pull your credit report or your credit score unless you have provided the credit bureau a password to unlock your information. Freezing your credit account is easy, free and effective in preventing identity theft.

If for example, someone wants access to your account or wants to open a new credit card in your name, they would need to run a credit check. The credit card company would then notify you to “unfreeze” your account so they could do a credit check. That would be your warning that some-

one is trying to open an account in your name. Without a credit check, no one can open a new account or take out credit in your name. A credit freeze can be used at any time to help prevent fraudulent activity. A credit freeze is regulated by law. Should anything go wrong, you are protected from any financial liability.

Perhaps you are buying a new car or renting an apartment and need to “unfreeze” your credit file to enable them to check your credit history. You can do that immediately on any computer or phone with your PIN or password.

It is important to freeze your credit information at each credit bureau and don’t forget the kids.

It is important to protect them and their financial future too.

To freeze your credit or seek additional information, contact the three credit bureaus by calling the following: Equifax 1-800-349-9960, Experian 1-888-397-3742 and TransUnion 1-888-909-8872.

Putting in the time and effort today to protect ourselves and our family’s financial information will be worth every minute when protecting ourselves from financial fraud and theft.

Edi Ann Otto

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, February 21, 2020, at St. Alphonsus Church in Langdon for Edi Ann Otto, 79, of Langdon, who passed away February 9, 2020, at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon.

Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon in the spring.

Edi Ann was born May 28, 1940, to Edward and Fern (Marcelin) Chaput at the family farm south of Langdon. She grew up and attended school in Langdon, graduating from St. Alphonsus in 1958. In her younger years she worked at the Fairmont CafĂŠ and JC Penney.

On April 23, 1960, she married Robert Otto at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon. She and Robert raised their family on a farm southeast of Langdon. She was a member of the ND Cattlewomen Association, holding the ofďŹ ce of treasurer for three years, and was an integral part of the farm operation. She would chase cattle, drive farm equipment, and mow her yard until it was pristine. Her meals were big and delicious. She fed her family and also anyone Robert would bring home, usually without warning! She fed them well, and there was always more than enough. She was an excellent seamstress, sewing for herself and her children. She took pride in planting owers and growing rhubarb for baking pies and making jam. She earned several accolades for her photograph of a tornado in 1979. The photo was featured in several publications and a US postage stamp. She was very involved in her churches, St. Clotilde’s Church in Milton and St. Alphonsus Church in Langdon. At St. Clotilde’s Church, she devoted her time as a member of the altar society, serving as treasurer and attending mass. At St. Alphonsus, she

served on the church council for 10 years and consistently attended mass. In her weekly discipleship group, she shared faith and friendship with other women she cherished for over 30 years – it was the highlight of her life. In 2008, her move to Langdon was considered an answer to prayer. She was happy to be closer to her church and her friends. As it was on the farm, her door was always open, and people were always welcome. She took joy in cooking for special events at the church and hosting the priests and bishops. In 2018, she moved to Maple Manor. She enjoyed having visitors, decorating her room, and going out to dinner when family visited. She will be remembered for her servant’s heart and strong faith.

She was a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend.

Surviving Edi Ann are her children: Alan (Lori) of Mesa, Ariz., Lori (Don) Goering of Fargo, Mark (Tamy) Otto of Fountain Hills, Ariz., Gena (Doug) Marcussen of Ada, Minn., Kent (Yonic) of Orlando, Fla., and Ryan of Mesa, Ariz.; grandchildren: Andrew Otto, Austin Otto, Bryan Berkland, Ashton Otto, Alex (Alauna) Tuttle, Evan (Danielle) Tuttle, Mat (Merissa) Marcussen, Chris (Alison) Marcussen, Natalie (Noah) Helgerson, Aiden Marcussen, and Izabel Marcussen; greatgrandchildren: Chloe, Caleb, and Cara Tuttle and Finley Helgerson; and siblings: Del Chaput, Mary Lou Schissler, Darlene Brooks, David Chaput and Joe Chaput along with several in-laws, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded by her parents, husband Robert, sisters Betty Rae and Sister Donna Jean, grandson Aaron Otto and great-grandson Ezekial Tuttle.

Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon is in charge of arrangements.

Welcome to

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Don Barsness of the Salem Bible Church

Burden Bearing I was attending the funeral of the mother of a friend. While it was my ďŹ rst time in that particular church building, the music was familiar. Maybe the hymns were too familiar. I sang without looking at the words in the hymnal, and I messed up The third verse of “How Great Thou Art,â€? speaking of Jesus’ death on a cross, reads, “That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.â€? In my all-too-casual approach to this hymn, I sang, “That on the cross, my burden gladly sharing, He bled and died to take away my sin.â€?

Did you catch that? My laidback version replaced “bearingâ€? with “sharing.â€? I had Jesus sharing my burden rather than bearing my burden. Perhaps my mistake was reasonable, considering that in the same funeral service we sang the old hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.â€? There, Joseph Scriven asks, “Can we ďŹ nd a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?â€?

Sharing my burdens, bearing my burdens, was my interchange of these terms important? Absolutely!

While both songs address the grace-ďŹ lled work of Jesus in caring for people, the particular focus of each ministry demands a particular verb. When singing, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,â€? we come face-to-face with an assessment of life.

Life has its heavy parts. We all experience trials and temptations, but we are invited to respond by taking all of it to God in prayer.

Whatever discouragement, discontentment, or despair we carry, we can trust God to share the heavy weight of our suffering.

This is the focus of the songwriter’s question, “Can you ďŹ nd a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?â€? The answer comes

from scripture. 1 Peter 5:7 encourages us to “cast all [our] anxieties on {God], because He cares for you.�

Throw the burden of your suffering on the Lord! He’ll share the load!

We understand and believe that Jesus is ready to share in the suffering of our lives. He shares our burdens, but what about the burden that He bears, rather than shares? Verses 8 and 9 of Ephesians 2 identify the burden we all carry because of our rigorous rebellion against God. We call that rebellion sin. Sin has a heavy load of consequences -- death, guilt, shame, estrangement from God and each other. We, who sin in our hearts and in our living, know what it is to be weighed down with the burden of sin, but God’s plan for our rescue is pinpointed in the Ephesians passage.

The Apostle Paul tells the reader that “God, because of his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ -- by grace you have been saved --.� Ephesians 2: 8 and 9 tell of Jesus taking the burden of our sin from us and making it His own. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.�

Our salvation -- God forgiving us of our sins against Him, God giving us spiritual life with the promise of heaven -- is ours by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The burden of our sin and every lingering consequence is no long ours. Jesus takes it and carries it as His own possession.

Jesus bears the burden of our sin. It’s no longer ours to even share with Him. Those who are saved by God’s grace can sing this testimony of faith in Jesus Christ, â€œâ€Śon the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.â€? Hallelujah!

Properly disposing of excess

You’ve worked hard to save your money. Make sure you have it when you need it.

Saving for retirement is a goal most people share. But what about the second part of the equation using your income in retirement?

How do you know how much to spend when you don’t know how long you’ll need it to last? While you don’t want to run out, you also don’t want to deprive yourself unnecessarily.

A qualifying longevity annuity contract (QLAC) might be able to help.

A QLAC allows you to take some of the money and set it aside in a deferred income annuity. You can postpone withdrawing that money up until as late as the age of 85. It’s easy to see the potential advantages of a QLAC in certain situations. In particular, it can help you feel confident that you won’t outlive your retirement savings because you’ll have a guaranteed income stream beginning later in life.

The QLAC is only available with a deferred income annuity, which is a contract that allows you to create a guaranteed income stream at some point in the future. The QLAC endorsement allows you to use a portion of your traditional IRA savings to fund a QLAC, which potentially helps protect against longevity risk by creating a future guaranteed lifetime income stream that defers the required minimum distributions.

want to quit by developing a quit plan. The quit plan includes preparing for cravings, coping with withdrawal symptoms, and using FDA-approved medications, which improve the chances of success.

Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic also provides assistance for cessation medication for Cavalier county residents if necessary.

“No form of tobacco is safe and using any tobacco product poses a health risk,” said Steph Welsh with Cavalier County District. Our goal during Through With Chew Week is to educate North Dakotans on the dangers of smokeless tobacco which includes cancers of the mouth, esophagus, and pancreas, as well as many other health problems like heart disease.”

In 2018, 12.0% of adult males report using smokeless tobacco every day. Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic recognizes the most effective way to quit tobacco

is to make a quit plan. Our local TTS staff assist those wanting to quit tobacco by providing educational materials and tobacco cessation resources. In addition, the statewide tobacco cessation program, NDQuits, offers free support and coaching.

Reducing the rate of smokeless tobacco use is a top priority for Cavalier County Health District and Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic because it reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, birth defects, and even death. Events like Through With Chew Week and the Great American Spit Out give us the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and take action against tobacco use, the leading cause of preventable death and disease in North Dakota.

For help with quitting smokeless tobacco, visit https://ndquits. health.nd.gov/.

Financial Corner with Sarah Total QLAC premiums are limited by the IRS to the lesser of $130,000 (2019) less any premiums you paid to any other QLAC or 25 percent of the total of all IRA balances, less any premiums you paid to any other IRA QLAC (excluding Roth IRAs) as of Dec. 31 of the year prior to purchasing the QLAC. A QLAC is an option based on federal tax changes written in 2014 and not every IRA Provider offers a QLAC. Check with your financial professional to see if the organization you work with has the option.

Brush with the Bunch

Second in the series “Brush Bunch at Work“ brings us Frances “Frankie“ Carrier. In her words is the following (modified) article: “I joined the Brush Bunch in 1972 after taking oil painting lessons from Micky Stillwell in her home. Several years later I made an attempt at the water color medium. It‘s been mostly frustrating, but I enjoy it.

My favorite subjects are old buildings with a history. I, personally, do not paint much anymore but cherish the dear friends as we encourage and help each other, the fun and laughter. It‘s a good thing.“ Thanks, Frances. Frances is shown sorting old family postcards which have been in the Carrier family for decades. Some dated as far back as 1905 when her mother-in-law was a teenager. Some, if not most, were written in French and were from places in Canada, Rhode Island. Frances is putting the postcards in an album so they will be visible on both sides. A great project, Frances. Camille‘s mother died in 1972 at the age of 79. Our Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale is creeping ever so fast.

Second ranked Lady Cards head to the postseason unbeaten at 19-0

By Jake Kulland Republican Sports Writer The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team completed their regular season schedule with three in the past week - winning at Grafton 51-44 on February 7, beating Velva at home 54-39 on February 8 then having an unreal shooting night in a final victory at Midway-Minto, 73-28. The Lady Cards, ranked second in the state, are now 19-0 on the season and will now enter the District 8 Girls Basketball Tournament in Rolla on February 14-17 as the number one seed.

They got a bye in the first round of the district tourney and will play at 5:00 p.m. on February 15 in the semifinals versus either North Star or Rolla. Here is a recap of their last three games of the regular season: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 51, Grafton 44 A big crowd was on-hand when the Cardinals played at the fifth ranked Spoilers. Lexi Olson hit two big 3-pointers in the first quarter, and Callie Ronningen had six points to help the Cards out to a 1411 lead after the first quarter. Ronningen would drop two 3's in the second quarter, as the battle saw Langdon-Edmore-Munich leading Grafton 28-25 at halftime.

Grafton would work their way back to tie the game at 38 after three quarters, but the Cardinals two seniors, Ronningen and Kaitlynn Scherr, would come up with some big plays to get the win. They would combine to get all of the Cardinals 13 fourth quarter points, seven from Ronningen and six, including a 3-pointer, from Scherr, who would also get a key blocked shot down the stretch.

A key stat was the Cardinals shooting 6 of 9 from the three point line, compared to 0 of 11 for the Spoilers. Ronningen led the team with 23 points and seven rebounds, while Scherr had 11 points and six boards. Both Ronningen and Olson each had four assists. Carlee Sieben had 14 points to lead Grafton, although she was held to just four points in the second half. 6-foot-3 inch freshman Walker DeMers had 10 points and a remarkable nine blocked shots for the Spoilers.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 54, Velva 39 After a tough defensive battle with Grafton the night before, the Cardinals played the very next afternoon at home against Velva,

Scherr had a team high five steals in the game followed by Olson and Kaylee Lowery with four each. Liz Schanilec led the Mustangs with eight points.

The Cardinals shot 57 percent for the game.

and they had an understandably uneven performance against the Aggies. The Cards got off to a decent start, leading 14-6 after the first quarter with 3-pointers from Kaitlynn Scherr and Callie Ronningen.

But Velva's Olivia Passa hit two 3's of her own in the second, as the Aggies trailed by just three points at 24-21 at the half.

After the Aggies got within 2422 early in the second quarter, the Lady Cards got their act together and went on a 10-0 run to put the game away. Scherr and Jaya Henderson hit key 3-pointers in the run.

Ronnigen led Langdon-EdmoreMunich with 18 points followed by Scherr with 13 and nine each from Morgan Freije and Kaylee Lowery. Freije led the team with seven rebounds and five assists, while Scherr had four steals. Passa led the Aggies with 10 points.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 73, Midway-Minto 28 This game at Minto was an addition to the Cards schedule after they lost a game back in December when their JV played the North Border varsity due Eagles injuries. The game against a solid Mustangs club was one of best performances of the Lady Cards this season, as they raced out to an incredible 29-2 lead after the first quarter.

Cardinals boys hit stride with a four game winning streak

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys basketball team looked to recover from a tough loss at New Rockford with four games in a six day span. They recovered nicely, winning all four games, beating Benson County at Leeds 54-40 on Feb. 6, coming back to win at Grafton 65-48 on Feb. 7, defeating Cavalier in a home makeup game on Feb. 10, then driving to Rolette to beat the Comets 77-38. After that big run of games, the Cardinals record is now at 13-4, and they have two games left on their schedule -at home versus St. John for Senior Night on Feb. 13, then at Midkota on Feb. 18. Here is a recap of their last four games: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 54, Benson County 40 Against the Wildcats, a big second and fourth quarter provided enough spark for the win. Trailing 12-10 after the first quarter, the Cardinals got after it and outscored Benson County 16-7 in the second with all five of their starters scoring points in the run.

After the Wildcats got to within six after the third quarter, the Cards again got contributions from all five starters as they started the fourth going 5 for 7 from the field to pull away with the win.

The Cardinals had four players reach double figures in the game, led by Grant Romfo with 13 points and 12 each from Jackson Delvo, Ordale Morstad and Simon Romfo.

The Cardinals defense forced 24 Wildcat turnovers in the the contest.

Benson County, who is coached by Langdon graduate Dan Treleaven, was led in scoring by Carter Tandeski with 13 points.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 65, Grafton 48 The very next after their win in Leeds, the Cardinals traveled to Grafton and fell behind early, trailing 34-27 at the half, despite 12 first half points from Grant Romfo and nine by Jackson Delvo.

The Cards were down 42-34 almost midway through the third quarter when they hit the gas, going on 11-0 run to end the third, and they ended up going on a 31-6 run to end the game. They basically just wore down the Spoilers down the stretch.

The Cardinals had four players again in double figures with Grant Romfo finished with 24 points, Ordale Morstad 15, Delvo 13 and Si-

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 70, Cavalier 45 This game versus the Tornadoes was a makeup game from the original date of Jan. 14, which was stormed out. This would be the first time the two teams would play each other in two years, with last seasons contest being outright cancelled.

A big crowd was on hand and ready for the game, which saw the Cardinals play very well. They hit three 3-pointers in the first quarter, two by Jackson Delvo and one by Grant Romfo to set the tone for the rest of the night. Cavalier led 6-0 early before the Cardinals went on a 15-0 run to take the lead for good.

All told the Cardinals went 11 for 21 from the three point line, as Delvo finished with five of them and Romfo three.

The Cards outscored Cavalier in every quarter, and were led by 19 points from Delvo and Romfo, and

Leading 47-16 at halftime, the Cards sat their starters the whole second half, and all 15 kids on their roster saw considerable playing time. Sean Gette, back on the floor after missing the last two games, led the Cardinals with 14 points followed by Grant Romfo with 11 and Delvo with 10. The Comets were led by three players with eight points.

The Cards had 13 players score at least one point in the contest.

Blades boys easily skate past Northwood 10-2 Ullyott, Zimmer get hat tricks in win

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Blades junior gold hockey team began to wind down their regular season when they hosted Northwood on February 8.

The Blades jumped out to a 3-0 lead early and wound up winning handily, 10-2. The win puts Langdon's record at 9-6 in their North Dakota league with two weekends left to their regular season. The Blades will next play at Grand Forks, Fargo and Northwood the weekend of February 14-16, and they still have one home league game on their schedule versus the Fargo 16U team at Noon on February 22.

In their game with Northwood, the Blades got rolling with three quick goals from Hunter Feil, Cooper Zimmer and Sid Ullyott. Andy Muhs, Zach Rostvet, Brady Regner

and Sid and Peyton Ullyott all got assists on the first three scores.

After Northwood got a late goal in the first period, Langdon would respond with seven unanswered goals, three in the second frame and four more in the third. Sid Ullyott had three of those goals for a four goal hat trick, and Zimmer scored two in the run to complete a hat trick as well. Muhs and Peyton Ullyott collected the other two goals.

Peyton Ullyott finished the game with five assists for a playmaker, and Muhs, Tanner Olson and Alex Gellner had one assist each in the scoring run.

Langdon dominated the shots on goal category, outshooting Northwood 59-13. Logan Harder had eight saves for the Blades, while Dawson Hein came in on goal for the third period and made three saves.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Tournament Time continues plus Spring Time in February As we come to you this week, the craziness of Tournament Time continues. The District 8 Girls Basketball Tournament continues through Feb. 17 in Rolla, and the next big tourney is the State A & B Wrestling Tournament at the Fargodome. The Pembina County North Wrestling team finished second in the Region 2 Dual Tournament, and will advance to state as a team. They also hoped to qualify several grapplers at the Region 2 Individual Tournament happening in Cassleton on Feb. 15. Travel wise things should improve greatly as the temps look to rise well into the 30s best the end of the week ahead, and looks like they may stay there. That's not bad for the end of February, and after the frigid temps we had last week we most certainly will take it.

Langdon Blades girls win three of four games at Mandan Jamboree While box scores were not available by press time, we need to recognize the Langdon Blades girls hockey team on a great weekend played at a jamboree in Mandan on Feb. 7-9. The Blades played four games all told, beating Bismarck, Crosby and Watford City, then skat-

ing to an overtime tie with Richland. The Rangers are near the top of the league standings, so getting a tie with them is quite an accomplishment. The girls next play at Bottineau on Feb. 15, then host the top team in the league in Fargo at 11:00 a.m. on Feb. 16. Winning three league games has put them up a couple of spots in the standings as they get ready for their end of the year State Tournament in Watford City March 7-9.

Crockett signs with NDSCS in Wahpeton We send out a big congratulations this week to Langdon senior Calyn Crockett. The 5-foot-11 inch hitter and setter from the State Champion Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals has signed to play college volleyball with the North Dakota State College of Science at Wahpeton. So that makes two players of the Lady Cards state title team that are moving on to play college volleyball, as Callie Ronningen committed to play at the University of Jamestown a couple of weeks ago. Calyn should make an impact at NDSCS, as the Wildcats took second place last season in the Mon-Dak Conference, and have a great tradition in women's volleyball. Congrats Calyn, and we all wish the best of luck in future!

Hard Times is playing At the Hop on Feb. 15!

Private Applicator Trainings for 2020 The season of pesticide certification training is here and it is time for you to check if your private applicator certification is up for renewal.

All those whose certification expires

by April 1, 2020 should recertify by attending one of the meetings going to be held in February and March.

In this way you do not have to take an exam. There are two meetings to be held in the Cavalier County courthouse meeting room and the details are as follows: • February 19 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 Noon- Followed by exam for new and lapsed certifications • March 11 12:30-4:00 p.m.- Recertification Only For those who are not certified previously or whose certification has expired, they can attend one of the certification meetings and take a 30-question open book exam. If the meeting ends at noon, the exam can be taken after the meeting. You can also come back to our office another day to take your 30-question exam.

For new certifications, the advantage of attending a meeting is, the exam questions drop from 60 to 30.

For those unable to attend a meeting, you are required to make an appointment with the Extension Office to take a 60-question openbook monitored exam. The passing grade is 80% and the certification is valid through April1, 2023. Takehome exam is not an option.

Note: Those needing recertifica-

tion will get a letter from the extension office stating the dates and timings of the meetings.

Difficult Harvest Creates Grain Storage Hazards

Grain Bin Dangers A. Never enter a storage bin while unloading grain because flowing grain can pull you in and bury you within seconds; B. Grain kernels may stick together, forming a crust or bridge that isn’t strong enough to support a person’s weight after the grain below it is removed; C. Don’t try to break a grain bridge or blockage loose from inside the bin; D. Try to break up a vertical wall of grain from the top of the bin, not the bottom, because the grain can collapse and bury you. (Graphics courtesy of MidWest Plan Service, Iowa State University) High-moisture grain could pose a danger to anyone working around it.

Because of difficult harvest conditions last fall, grain may have been stored with higher than normal moisture content, which could pose a danger to anyone working around the grain.

“High-moisture grain storage leads to bin unloading problems,” warns Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University Extension agricultural engineer. “Grain may be in clumps due to high-moisture grain and foreign material being frozen together, or due to crusted grain flowing in chunks that block grain flow into the grain sump of the unloading system.”

Warming the grain to just above freezing sometimes will enable the frozen grain to flow, he says. People also have used a variety of other

NDSU Extension Notes

methods to break up the clumps, such as a plumbing snake through the unloading tube, high-volume air pressure to the sump through a tube in the unloading tube, or a grain-vac and plumbing snake combination.

“Do not go into the bin without following safety procedures,” he cautions.

Grain also can form columns along the bin wall or in other locations. These normally are broken loose with rods or bin unloading whip units from the bin roof. Poking at the grain while inside the bin may cause an avalanche that buries the person poking at the grain. The grain can flow with such force that it even will come through an open bin door and cover the person poking at the grain from outside the bin.

“Make sure everyone, including family and employees, working around stored grain understands the hazards and proper safety procedures,” Hellevang says.

“Too many people ignore safety practices and suffer severe injury or death while working around grain,” he adds. “They get trapped in grain or tangled in auger flighting Grain Bin Dangers Never enter a bin while unloading grain or to break up a grain bridge or chunks that may plug grain flow. Flowing grain will pull you into the grain mass, burying you within seconds. Unloading at 5,000 bushels per hour is moving almost 2 cubic feet of grain per second. A 2–foot-diameter by 6-foot cylinder has a volume of about 9 cubic feet, so a person can be completely engulfed in less than five seconds and would not be able to lift individual’s feet in less than two seconds.

Stop the grain-conveying equipment and use the “lock-out/tagout” procedures to secure it before entering the bin. Use a key-type padlock to lock the conveyor switch in the “off” position to assure that the equipment does not start automatically or someone does not start it accidentally.

Bridging occurs when grain is high in moisture content, moldy or in poor condition. The kernels stick together and form a crust. A cavity will form under the crust when

grain is removed from the bin.

The crust isn’t strong enough to support a person’s weight, so anyone who walks on it will fall into the cavity and be buried under several feet of grain. Determine if the grain has a crust before any grain has been removed. If work needs to be done with a crust, it must be done before any grain is removed.

“To determine if the grain is bridged after unloading has started, look for a funnel shape on the surface of the grain mass,” Hellevang advises. “If the grain surface appears undisturbed, the grain has bridged and a cavity has formed under the surface. Stay outside the bin and use a pole or other object to break the bridge loose.”

If the grain flow stops when you’re removing it from the bin but the grain surface has a funnel shape and shows some evidence that grain has been flowing into the auger, a chunk of spoiled grain probably is blocking the flow. Entering the bin to break up the blockage will expose you to being buried in grain and tangled in the auger.

If grain has formed a vertical wall, try to break it up from the top of the bin with a long pole on a rope or through a door with a long pole.

A wall of grain can collapse, or avalanche, without warning, knocking you over and burying you.

Never enter a grain bin alone.

Have at least two people at the bin to assist in case of problems. Use a safety harness and rope that prevents you from descending rapidly when entering a bin.

“If you get partially submerged in flowing grain, the force pulling you in is several hundred pounds, far exceeding the ability for a person holding a rope to prevent engulfment,” Hellevang says. “Again, never enter a bin with the unloading system running.”

Rescuing a Trapped Person If someone gets trapped: • Shut off all grain-moving equipment.

• Contact your local emergency rescue service or fire department.

• Ventilate the bin using the fan if temperatures are moderate. At cold temperatures, the trapped person faces the risk of hypothermia.

• Cut holes in the bin sides to remove grain if the person is sub-

merged. Use a scoop on a tractor, cutting torch, metal-cutting power saw or air chisel to cut V- or Ushaped holes equally spaced around the bin. Grain flowing from just one hole may injure the trapped person and cause the bin to collapse.

• Form a retaining wall around the person using a rescue tube or other material to keep grain from flowing toward the person, then remove grain from around the individual. Walking on the grain pushes more grain onto the trapped person.

• Don’t try to pull a person out of grain. The grain exerts tremendous forces, so trying to pull someone out could damage the person’s spinal column or cause other damage.

Other Dangers Getting tangled in the unloading sweep auger is another major hazard. Entanglement typically results in lost feet, hands, arms, legs and frequently death due to the severe damage.

Although you shouldn’t enter a bin with an energized sweep auger, it may be necessary in some instances, Hellevang says. All sweep augers should have guards that protect against contact with moving parts at the top and back. The only unguarded portion of the sweep auger should be the front point of operation.

If someone must go into the bin, make sure to have a rescue-trained and equipped observer positioned outside the storage bin. Use a safety switch that will allow the auger to operate only while the worker is in contact with the switch.

Never use your hands or legs to manipulate the sweep auger while it’s in operation. The auger should have a bin stop device that prevents the sweep auger from making uncontrolled rotations.

There are several reasons producers should visit their Farm Service Agency (FSA) office now to enroll in the Agriculture Risk Loss (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program, says Andrew Swenson, North Dakota State University Extension farm management specialist.

“March 16, 2020, is the enrollment deadline for the 2019 crop year, but FSA offices have multiple programs competing for the available time and attention of their staff,” Swenson says.

“The longer a producer waits to schedule an appointment, the fewer options they will have to schedule a time and date that works best for them,” Swenson says. “Because of the importance and complexities of the ARC and PLC programs, producers should start the enrollment process now to ensure their elections are made and contracts signed ahead of the deadlines.”

If a producer fails to enroll by March 16 they will be ineligible to receive 2019 ARC and PLC payments.

There is no downside to enrolling now, as producers have the option of revising their ARC and PLC

program election up to the March 16 deadline.

ARC provides income support payments on historical base acres when actual crop revenue declines below a specified guaranteed level.

PLC provides income support payments on historical base acres when the national marketing year average (MYA) price for a covered commodity falls below its effective reference price.

Producers have the option of either selecting PLC or ARC-County on a crop-by-crop basis within each FSA farm unit, whereas the ARCIndividual program option includes total crop base acres of the enrolled farms. The sign-up decision is for both the 2019 and 2020 crop years.

Swenson says that given current price projections, wheat base should provide payments under both PLC and ARC-Co, but PLC should be the best choice unless the farm’s payment yields are very low.

PLC payments are more likely and should be higher for the 2019 crop year.

“It is likely that soybean base will not provide payments under either PLC or ARC-CO,” Swenson adds.

“However, ARC-CO is the better

choice for soybean base, because of the possible lower county average yields reported for 2019.”

“I cannot see a clear favorite for corn base; currently neither option looks favorable for 2019 crop year payments,” Swenson says.

“The national MYA price would have to drop $.15 per bushel from the current projection of $3.85 before reaching the reference price of $3.70, below which PLC payments would be made. Given the current price projection, 2019 county average corn yields would need to be greater than 17 percent below the county’s benchmark yield to trigger an ARC-CO payment.

Currently, PLC is the clear choice for canola base acres and it also looks like the best option for barley and sunflower base.”

For more information on ARC and PLC, producers can download the FSA program fact sheet, the 2014-2018 farm bills comparison fact sheet or use the online decision tool, available at https://www.fsa. usda.gov/arc-plc.

Online ARC and PLC election decision tools also are available at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/farmmanagement/farm-bill.

More Basketball Lore: Writing last week’s column using books about high scoring boys in basketball’s memorable past mentioned two sources of information not everyone has at their fingertips that are available at the Cavalier County Library. Much of the background came from a publication titled “From Mott to Mayport” which had the stats on the state championship games from the mid-1960s to the 1990s. Older information came from “North Dakota High School Boys Basketball History 1914-1988”. Since that second book had the Blehm story, my research started with 1971 so missed the careers of the Osnabrock team that challenged Class A and the early Langdon teams that went to state.

I am quite sure Dennis Throndset has already written about those or will in the future.

Due to space concerns and timing of the paper deadline, I left out Mr. Basketball and Miss Basketball notes which surfaced later from several sources. To date there is a long list of Langdon, Munich, Edmore and general area boys in the past who passed the 1,000 mark in points scored, rebounding, assists and other honors.

Choosing a Mr. Basketball began in 1985. Todd Olson from Cavalier (long in the top scoring category) received that honor in 1986. Another top scoring athlete was listed as a finalist in 1987, Wade Herbel

Notice of Sale NOTICE OF SALE

Civil No. 10-2019-CV-00052 1. Notice is hereby given that by virtue of a judgment of foreclosure by the District Court the NORTHEAST JUDICIAL DISTRICT in and for the County of Cavalier and State of North Dakota, and entered and docketed in the Office of the Clerk of said Court on December 5, 2019 in an action wherein Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc was Plaintiff and Russell W Schmeling, Jr.; Russell Schmeling; Janelle M Schmeling; Any Person in Possession; Cavalier County Memorial Hospital; Heim Brothers; American Contractors Indemnity Company; were Defendants, in favor of Plaintiff and against the Defendants for the sum of $25,810.17, which judgment and decree, among other things, direct the sale by me of the real property hereinafter described, to satisfy the amount of said judgment, with interest thereon and the costs and expenses of such sale, or so much thereof as the proceeds of said sale will satisfy; and by virtue of a writ issued to me out of the office of the

of Grafton, whose father played on that famous Alsen team of the 1950s. In 1988 Scott Guldseth of Edinburg was Mr. Basketball, and one of the finalists was Ross Manson of Minot, the son of Gene and Merry Manson who both spent their high school years at Langdon. Bart Manson, a younger brother in the same family, received the Mr. Basketball award in 1991 also playing on a Minot team and having grandparents living in Langdon.

The only male player from Cavalier County that I spotted in the Mr. Basketball listing was Marty McDonald in 1992 who played for Munich. However, other sources listed other players with links to our part of North Dakota as finalists. Names I could recognize were Brandon Badding, a finalist in 1997, playing for Langdon after the Hannah School had closed. Evan Lindahl from Cando was a finalist in 2001 and his brother, Grant, in 2011 when the school name had become North Star. They had family in Langdon, and for some reason I thought there should have been a third brother in that family. Brady Trenbeath from Cavalier was a finalist in 2004, and Luke Lorenz, playing on the MayPort team, was a finalist in 2007.

Luke had grandparents and relatives on both sides of his family in Langdon.

Girls at the Top: A big shock came when I found newer copies of Miss Hoopster which did not list Langdon Miss Basketball winner Katie Lorenz.

Not only did I remember her presentation on television but so did many other local fans. The problem turned out to be a typographical er-

Clerk of said Court, I, as Sheriff of Cavalier County, North Dakota, will sell the property described in the Judgment to the highest bidder for cash at public auction at the front door of the Courthouse in the County of Cavalier and State of North Dakota, on March 17, 2020, at 09:30 AM, to satisfy the amount due, with interest thereon, and the costs and expenses of such sale, or so much thereof as the proceeds of such sale will satisfy. The property to be sold is situated in the County of Cavalier and State of North Dakota and described as follows: All that Part of the W1/2 SE1/4, Section 1, Township 161N, Range 58W, 5th P.M.

ror which may be corrected in next year’s publication. Katie did win that honor in 2001. The Miss Basketball awards began in 1984, but local people had been interested since 1985 when two outstanding girls were chosen: Durene Heisler of Devils Lake for Class A and Whitney Meier of Rolla for Class B. Mandan players have won this award more often than any other community, but finalist listings have had some very memorable players as well.

Haylee Uecker from Langdon was a finalist in 1994; Kinsey Coles with Osnabrock and Milton roots, playing for Hillsboro in 1999; Ruthie Dockter who won Miss Basketball in 2004 while playing the last half injured; Fallon Freije from Edmore, a finalist in 2015; Macey Kvilvang a finalist in 2017; and Maggie Manson listed as a finalist in 2019. Maggie, who played for West Fargo Sheyenne, is a granddaughter of Gene and Merry Manson.

In the Miss Hoopster of 2003-2004 there were girls on the Langdon team who I believe went on to win a State Basketball Championship (or maybe the State Volleyball Championship or both). They led the lists in almost every stat category listed in the 2003-04 Miss Hoopster. Pictured with good comments as underclassmen were: Justine Stremick, Briana Stremick, Sarah Mack, Janelle Mostad, Christie Schauer, Taryn Otto and Jill Stremick. Threepointers at that time were relatively new in girls scoring, but Jill was at the top of the list with 60 threepointers. Karla Beck from Munich was also outstanding in several categories and went on to play college basketball at UND. Several others

you and I would remember were not listed which could mean they simply were a hair below the 1,000 mark.

Recognizable leading scorers above 2000 included: Fallon Freije, Whitney Meier, Katie Lorenz, and Shaye Ronnigen (Edmore); above 1500: Macey Kvilvang, Jordyn Worley, Ali Vandal (Rolla), Hayley Schanilac (Midway-Minto), Stephanie Miller (North Star), Karla Beck (Munich), Dani Schwanke (Benson County), Heather Carlson (Rolla), Meredith Vesterso (Border Central), and Madison Hart (Langdon); above 1200: Amy Luff (Edmore), Collette Schaan (now Schwabe), and Kinsey Coles (Hillsboro); over 1000: Sara Fetsch (1132, Langdon), Karen Schuler (Munich), Michelle Robert (Rolla), Kimberly Power (Langdon), Jessica Mostad (Langdon), Amber Volanti (Rolla), and probably several others who reached that milestone more recently and will appear on future lists.

North Dakota Arts Council Another topic with historic ties came from a visit with Troyd A. Geist of the North Dakota Council on the Arts. He is searching for people who make things that might have been passed down from one generation to another and are still being made in North Dakota. He stopped several places in Langdon to inquire, and at the library he was asked to send a list of the arts he was seeking. That list came this week and includes quilting, saddle making, blacksmithing, polka music, polka dancing, woodcarving, singing traditional songs, hardanger needlework, tatting, spinning wool and weaving, engraving

knives or guns, making duck and goose decoys, making turkey calls, bagpipe playing, accordion playing, bluegrass music, making traditional Finnish saunas and so on.

Some local snowbirds have been making segmented wooden bowls, and he was interested in those as well as the wooden toys that people in our area have constructed down through the years.

If I understood him correctly, he was not interested in the art work done by children in school and probably already has lists of people who sell their items under the Pride of Dakota label. His list did not include painting, soap making, or poetry, but those might be categories that were just not in his mind at the time. If you would like to talk to him personally the library does have his name, phone and address.

The current program is to locate people who do these arts or crafts and to discover if they would be interested in helping others learn to make similar items. Some funding might be available within their guidelines for teachers. He might also be interested in the stories of how the art form had come down in your family. Some of the items located might be suitable for display in local museums or the Heritage Center. Those who have visited the center in Bismarck will already be aware of many items displayed there and others for sale to collectors of unique folk-art.

North Dakota people have always been creative and many of those creative genes do lead back to original homesteaders or indigenous heritage.
