February Is Library Lovers’ Month! Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” Today’s libraries, nowadays, offer more than books on the shelves. The Cavalier County Library in Langdon also offers audiobooks, movies, computer services, activities, and book discussions, even in a pandemic.

“We have still tried to hold as many normal activities as we can, with modifications,” said Shannon Nuelle, Director of the Cavalier County Library. “We were only closed to the public from midMarch to mid-May of 2020 while still offering curbside pickup.”

Since then, the Library has been open with modified hours and some restrictions. Current hours are 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Wednesday; and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday. Nuelle does a great job keeping the community in-

formed of what is happening at the Library through their Facebook page and in the Cavalier County Republican. Here is a list of activities going on right now or coming up soon.

Storytime for children ages 3 to pre-kindergarten is held in the Library on Thursday at 1:00 p.m. It is held when school is in session. Watch the library Facebook page and website for COVID and weather-related cancelations.

Hailey Thorlakson awarded $25,000 scholarship The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc. has announced the 2021 recipients of its $25,000 Horatio Alger National Scholarships. Out of tens of thousands of applicants, Hailey Thorlakson, a senior at Langdon Area High School, was one of just 106 students from across the country to receive this prestigious scholarship.

“I first learned of the scholarship through our senior scholarship advisor, Marnie Thielbar,” explains Thorlakson. “This was one of the many scholarship opportunities she sent out to my class via email.”

“I am so happy to learn that Hailey Thorlakson was one of the recipients of the 2021 Horatio Alger National Scholarships,” said Thielbar.

“Hailey is a very deserving student who has been committed to her education and has been a great leader in the many activities she has participated in throughout high school.”

The Horatio Alger National Scholarship recognizes students who have remained committed to continuing their education and giving back to their communities while overcoming adversity and navigating the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The scholarship application process is a lengthy one. The steps include personal information, academic

information, volunteer information, letter of recommendation, along with a few short responses and several essays.

Through the application process, Thorlakson was able to demonstrate a skill and passion for leadership and volunteering in the community.

“Many in the community

have likely seen Hailey and her sisters volunteering throughout the community while in high school,” said Thielbar. “Hailey has logged over 275 hours of volunteerism during her high school career.”

“Volunteering keeps me connected within my community,” said Thorlakson. “I have the opportunity to assistant coach the girls 14U softball team, help

Thorlakson loves being involved. She is an officer on the North Dakota Association of Student Councils executive board, president of the Junior Bank Board, and a co-president of the LAHS Student Council. She is an officer in the LAHS FCCLA chapter and choir, and participates in the LAHS speech team, drama club, National Honor Society, knowledge bowl and AcOlympic competitions, Sources of Strength, band, and North Dakota Leadership Seminar.

Though the pandemic has affected all students in many ways, especially extra-curricular activities, Thorlakson is grateful that most of her activities can still be pursued with restrictions and modifications.

“Although this crazy, chaotic time has taken many things from me, my classmates, and my peers,” shares Thorlakson, “a valuable lesson can be learned.

Because of this pandemic, I have learned the importance of adapting to change. Change often has a negative connotation because it is unfamiliar and cont. on page 2

For a number of years, the Northern Lights Arts Council and the Cavalier County Library have sponsored a book discussion group facilitated by UND professor Michelle Sauer. Last year it was cancelled due to Covid. Now it’s back.

“We will finally be holding our book discussion from last winter online using Zoom,” said Nuelle. “It will take place online on Thursday, February 25 at 7:00 p.m.

We will be discussing the books 'The Handmaid’s Tale' and 'The Testaments'

by Margaret Atwood.” If you do not have access to a computer or internet, you can use a computer and/or Wi-Fi at the library. There are still a limited number of both books available for check out.

Rademacher promoted to manager of Roxy After 23 years as manager of the Roxy Theater, Steve Hart is retiring from the job.

“We want to thank Steve for his years of service and dedication to the Roxy,” said Amber Benoit, Executive Director of Marketing/Programming for the Northern Lights Arts Council (NLAC), which owns the Roxy. “He was a huge part of getting the theater reopened in 1997 and has done an excellent job of managing it.”

Besides being a good manager, Hart truly liked his work at the Roxy.

“I enjoyed meeting with theater patrons and working with the employees,” said Hart.

“I also enjoyed making the picture and sound as fine as possible at the Roxy.”

Hart put together the job description, and it was opened up for applicants. Karla Rademacher was selected by the NALC and the Roxy Theater Committee to be the new manager. Rademacher has been working at the Roxy for a few years, most recently as the

Assistant Manager.

“I decided to apply because I enjoy working at the Roxy,” said Rademacher. “I care about the Roxy and want it to continue to be a wonderful part of our community.”

“We thought she would do great taking over as manager,” said Benoit. “She worked extra hard to find ways to get the theater reopened safely this winter after it was shut down last March due to COVID. She and Jaclyn Nye, the Executive Director of Finance for NLAC, put a lot of time into securing grant funds and figuring out a plan to safely reopen.

She also worked with local businesses to get sponsorship for the free movies.”

Managing the theater is no easy task, and doing so during a pandemic does not make it easier. It takes hours of dedication behind the scenes to keep the theater running. Hart is passing on his knowledge to cont. on page 3

Changes coming to the Langdon City housing incentive

By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met Monday, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. Starting the meeting, it was brought up that the upcoming Toy Show at the Langdon Activity Center will require masks and social distancing.

The street department reported they’ll be clearing by the garage door at LAC for toy show sellers.

The fire department got their new truck, and it is ready when needed.

Water and sewer have had normal operations with some freezing pipes in the area which is to be expected and normal for our climate this time of year.

For sanitation, Cory Schneider went to Bismarck a couple weeks ago for operator's training.

A new dispatcher has been hired and started Monday, February 8. Langdon’s Sheriff’s Office is still looking to hire a deputy to add to their team.

The Langdon Activity Center added insulation around the garage door in the gym which has made a difference in the draft. They are looking for grants for heating solutions,

and an assessment is needed to apply. National Corporative Leasing can extend a payment plan (up to 15 years) so no upfront payment is needed. It was discussed that when an assessor comes, that each building could be a different application for heating grants. The question can up if more city buildings should be assessed when the assessor comes to town. It was decided to move forward with Activity Center energy conservation. LAC is still looking for sponsorships for a new gym floor and a suggestion was heard of having Langdon City of the Year 2020 included on floor.

Signs are also being planned to be put up coming into town showing we were voted City of the Year 2020.

Langdon auditor’s year-end report was discussed. The street fund got good equipment but talked about floating levies to end to year to see what mills are brought in this year. Construction accounts are being worked on to get paid off. The sidewalk project was $13,000 and paid for from the general fund. Garbage fund came out at $6,030 which is good. Concrete crushing remains the same. The water department is about $100,000 ahead. The water supply project (what our $20/month) goes into is at $322,000. It was questioned if some of that money could be put into reserves.

The JDA had a Rendezvous Region request for $25,000

but had a committee review consisting of Susan Fay Crockett, Daren Christianson, Jerry Nowatzki, and Jim Rademacher.

After further review and then the recommendation of not requesting money for past debts.

After dividing by 3 as there’s 3 counties in Rendezvous Region the sum for request was $5,857.

Motion was approved for $5,857. The city board agreed revisiting this to have better money set aside for tourism would be good.

Susan Fay Crockett questioned the housing incentive currently in place. As of now, the housing incentive states that homeowners have to have remodels approved if done within the first year of purchase.

It also says building materials that are available locally (Langdon and Walhalla) will be accepted unless some materials are not offered locally. The current incentive has gray areas, as past applicants have been approved outside the one-year window. Suggestions of dropping the time limit and having a dollar amount per percentage of value were brought up. The housing incentive is to increase property value which increases property taxes and helps build more tax dollars for the community. Crockett agreed to present a better housing incentive plan at the next meeting that is black and white.

The next meeting will be February 22 at 6:00 p.m.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Hangin’ with Liz...

Because I listen to Canadian radio a lot, I found out that Queen Elizabeth was coming to Regina, so I quietly applied for press credentials through the British Consulate in Ottawa. Thinking that it was a shot in the dark, I never thought a smalltown reporter like myself would get a pass to see the queen. But in two days, a man with a heavy French accent called from the consulate to tell me my credentials and itinerary were coming in the mail. I was shocked, but hey, this is my job so I’m going to make the best of it.

The day was May 19, 2005, and Queen Elizabeth was scheduled to officially open the Saskatchewan Centennial celebration at the provincial capital in Regina. Having gone to numerous Saskatchewan Roughrider football games over the years in Regina, getting to the capital was a nobrainer. I thought about something that made a lot of sense then and still does. I decided to get there grossly early because, as an American, I was not allowed in the media pool.

That was reserved for Canadian and British journalists. As a result, I took my camera and notebook and got positioned as far forward as I could get to the stage - right up against the barricades in front of the provincial capitol steps.

There was a light rain, and it drizzled for the entire three hours I was early, but in effect, I got the best spot because as it got closer to the opening, people started filling in beside me and behind me. By the time the event was ready to begin, there were approximately 30,000 people there, a number the Regina Leader-Post grossly underestimated.

The way this thing started out, Premier Lorne Calvert (equivalent to governor) welcomed everyone to Regina, said a few words, and turned the microphone over to Prime Minister Paul Martin. The prime minister spoke for a short time, and he welcomed the queen to Canada and to Saskatchewan. Her Royal Highness joined the premier and prime minister on stage, and I happened to be close enough to get a photo of all three of them on the same stage at the same time. That is something that would never happen today because of security. The photo wasn’t the greatest, but it’s proof they were all together on that stage.

After the queen made her remarks, she and Prince Philip took a walk “among the people.” In other words, there was a path leading away from the capitol steps and into a garden of sorts with native plants

Check us out online at

www.cavalier countyextra. com

and trees. Somewhere in that garden, the path made a U-turn, and the royal couple turned around to go back to the podium. That’s where my grossly early idea came in handy. Not only was I as close to the steps as I could get, but I was right next to the path, and Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip walked right past me. They were so close I could have reached out and tapped her on the shoulder and may have been arrested.

I did, however, take a number of photographs, which I found out later violated British protocol because you are not supposed to be within 20 feet when you photograph the queen.

She probably thought I was the Canadian paparazzi or something.

Little did anyone in that crowd know that I was an American reporter.

That’s another oddity of the day.

The Regina Leader-Post found out I was the lone American journalist at the event and reporter Will Chabun later interviewed me.

Regardless, it was a work day, and in some cases I wish it wasn’t so I could have had some time to absorb more of the pageantry. I had to get back to Minot and get a story filed. First, I had to get out of the city of Regina with all those extra people, and second, it was usually a 20-minute wait to get through the border at Portal.

Despite that, on the entire 250mile trip back to Minot, I didn’t turn on the radio and just tried writing an article in my head because I knew by the time I reached my desk, deadline was going to be dangerously close. I got to my desk an hour and 10 minutes before deadline, and I had a major story written in an hour, giving me 10 minutes to spare. My protocol violating photograph and article went to press, and the first thing that happened the next morning when I got to work was the phone rang.

It was Early Pomeroy. He said he didn’t know the queen was going to be in Regina. Apparently, neither did anybody else on the American side.

It was an opportunity of a lifetime.

The Constitution and the Trump impeachment trial The forthcoming Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, sure to dominate headlines and newscasts, raises a host of constitutional questions with political implications likely to extend for years to come.

Last week, we reviewed the question of whether the Constitution permits the Senate to try a former president, and concluded that it does. In short, once the impeachment process has been initiated by the House of Representatives, its continuation and completion may not be derailed by a presidential resignation or the end of a presidential term in office.

The impeachment power was established by the framers of the Constitution to hold a president accountable and, if necessary, convict him on charges of impeachable offenses and perhaps impose a ban on further service in an office under the authority of the United States.

President Trump and his defense team will, throughout the trial, continue to press the argument that a former president may not be tried, but he has lost that argument.

The Trump legal team, in its defense brief, also has asserted that the trial itself constitutes the constitutional prohibition against bills of attainder. This argument is without merit.

The Bill of Attainder Clause, found in Article I, section 9, bans a law passed by Congress that declares the guilt of an individual or class of people, and imposes criminal penalties, without benefit of judicial trial The prohibition on bills of at-

tainder reflects the framers’ hatred of the detestable English practice of passing attainders, with punishment that encompassed loss of life, limb, liberty and property. A bill of attainder violated the presumption of innocence and the right to a jury trial, undercut the principle of due process of law, and subverted the spirit of the constitution of a free society by declaring classes of people disqualified from exercising rights enjoyed by others. As a consequence, the Constitutional Convention adopted the Bill of Attainder Clause with little debate.

An impeachment trial, and the punishment imposed upon the defendant, however, is not a bill of attainder. Trump’s argument, therefore, is without merit.

A bill of attainder, first of all, is a “bill,” that is, a legislative measure passed by the House and the Senate, and signed into law by the president.

An impeachment trial, on the other hand, does not require a presidential signature and, indeed, provides no role for the president. At bottom, the impeachment trial emphatically does not involve a Senate vote on, or passage of, a bill.

Any punishment imposed by the Senate as a result of an impeachment trial is, by definition, not a bill of attainder unless we wish to accuse the framers of having lost their minds in writing two contradictory clauses.

Delegates to the convention, after all, enacted the Impeachment Clause and the Bill of Attainder Clause within a narrow time frame and saw no contradiction between the two, because none existed.

The act of punishing the president by infliction of a lifetime ban on holding another office or trust under U.S. authority, flowed from conviction by two-thirds of the Senate, and not passage of a bill, which flows from majority vote in both the House and the Senate, and signature of the president, making it the law of the land.

One final issue, sure to provoke legal controversy, emerged on Thurs-

day, February 4, when the House managers sent a letter to President Trump’s legal team, requesting that the president agree to testify, either before or during the impeachment trial, about his connection to the January 6 insurrection.

The letter does not demand an appearance from Trump, nor does it indicate that a subpoena is forthcoming. It notes that Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton testified before Congress after they had the left the White House. With that recent history, the House Managers explained, there should be no reason why former President Trump would not want to testify in his own defense.

Trump’s defense team will likely advise their client not to testify and further explain why he should not be convicted of incitement of insurrection. His GOP defenders in the Senate may not want him to testify since he may render himself more vulnerable to the charge of an impeachable offense through a less than impressive performance on the stand.

If Trump refuses to testify, it is possible for the Senate to issue a subpoena to compel his testimony.

In an effort to thwart a subpoena, Trump’s lawyers may assert executive privilege, but that assertion has lost its force with the expiration of his presidential term. In any case, that argument fails to satisfy the grounds upon which the privilege has been invoked.

In the end, if Trump refuses to testify, the pressure on GOP Senators to convict him of incitement to insurrection will continue to build.

Legislative Update

Senator Janne Myrdal R – District 10 jmyrdal@nd.gov 701-331-0946 As we start the second month of the Legislative Session the budget is becoming the focus mostly, although debates on the most difficult policy bills are more intense for sure. I will try to cover a few topics from the week and focus more on budget issues in my next report.

SB2208 is still in our AG committee. Many of you contacted me on this bill which deals with two entire Sections of NDCC regarding water drainage and assessments. I did not like most of this bill and have suggested we take the next interim and go carefully through these two sections and combine them with clear non-ambiguous language. Some language is obsolete as technology has brought us leaps and bounds

from when some of this was written. I do think we have to find a solution to where a landowner can go for appealing a water decision.

That would be part of the interim work.

We heard a soil health and conservation bill that was rejected by our AG committee as it would have been a new section to code that would be an unfunded mandate.

We all care deeply for soil conservation, - it is indeed the foundation of all our lives, but the programs we already have through conservation are good and adapting to the rapid changes in technology.

Speaking of soil and the need for knowledge and education on this most basic fundamental existence of life issue, - I introduced and we passed a bill this week that deals with some equally fundamental values, - the Pledge of Allegiance and the Ten Commandments. SB 2308 permits local school districts to post the Ten Commandments, a historical document that offends no religion at their school, and to allow classrooms to Do the Pledge of Allegiance. And there is a provision that protects these entities from liability of “harm” if they chose to do so. Oh,

I know some think and fret that this is “unconstitutional, but I firmly believe we should not allow the fret of such. Why do we put bill after bill in to deal with our cultural moral decline without being willing to go back upstream and ask where the “holes in the dike” that has caused a flood of moral breakdown in our society? Sitting on the Judiciary these past sessions and hearing tragic and deeply sad stories of child abuse, sex offenses, and much more I looked back to when we disallowed the Ten Commandments and prayers in schools. Within 15 years of doing so, divorce rates went up 300%, teen pregnancy sky rocketed and sexually transmitted diseases increased by 225%. One simply can-

not deny the correlation. And as far as the Pledge goes, we say it every day in the Senate Chamber, and of all times I think now is the time to instill patriotism and respect in our nation and it must begin with our children. I know a small minority say they are offended by the above, but I would say what offends us most, - Thou shall not murder or murder itself; Thou shall not lie or deceit itself? It passed the Senate overwhelmingly so we shall see how it goes forward.

SB2124 that I introduced regarding the balance of power between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branched passed the Senate with a veto-proof majority and now goes to House.

Letter to Editor

Letter to the Editor: Addiction destroys the relationships with the people who love you the most. Once the addict or alcoholic cannot manipulate their loved ones anymore, they typically withdraw from them. The loved one then lives with constant worry and pain from their actions. This includes things like lying, stealing, manipulating, and sometimes even physical abuse.

The addict or alcoholic then live with constant guilt that they try and numb with drugs and alcohol. This will cause them to give up hope because they feel as though they can never repair those relationships. I am here to tell you that you can indeed mend them. I myself have, and I watch others rekindle their relationships every day. It starts with the saying “actions speak louder than words”.

The biggest factor in repairing these broken relationships is change that they can see and not hear you talk about. Getting treatment and making these positive changes in the way you handle yourself and others is the very start to the journey of repairing relationships with the ones you have hurt. It takes longer for some then others but it is definitely possible.

For more information on repairing relationships, go to https:// www.narconon-suncoast.org/blog/ repairing-relationships-damagedby-addiction.html . If you are in need of a referral to a treatment center, call us at 877-841-5509.

Written by: Shauna Krout Clearwater, Fla Letter to the Editor: Less gerrymandering in North Dakota Does gerrymandering happen in North Dakota?

Gerrymandering happens when lawmakers draw new legislative district boundaries so as to favor

themselves and their party in future elections.

In the year following each U.S. Census, legislative district boundaries must be redrawn so that each district has nearly the same number of voters. A committee of legislators updates the state’s district map.

In other words, elected officials pick their voters, not the other way around.

Legislators want to be re-elected, so there is a motivation to use the redistricting process for incumbent protection. For instance, a legislator may have moved out of his district.

“Let’s move the line so his new house is back in his old district.” Or, “I don’t want to have to run against that person; draw the line so that she’s not in my district.”

North Dakota citizens strongly favor government that is transparent and accessible to the citizens. House Bill 1397, which defines the procedures for North Dakota redistricting this cycle, should be amended to ensure ample opportunity for public scrutiny and input before the final map is drawn.

Guidelines should be included in this bill that encourage the legislators to follow widely recommended criteria, such as trying not to divide city, county, township or tribal areas into different legislative districts.

Neither the political affiliation of the residents nor the address of an incumbent or potential candidate should be considered when drawing the lines. North Dakota Voters First is proposing amendments to change HB1397 accordingly because North Dakota voters expect government to be both open and fair.

Dry Weather Decreases Risk for Wheat Midge in 2021 Soil samples in North Dakota indicate lower levels of overwintering wheat midge larvae (cocoons) for the 2021 season, says Janet Knodel, North Dakota State University Extension entomologist.

A total of 2,050 soil samples were collected from 22 counties in the fall of 2020 to estimate the statewide risk for wheat midge in the 2021 field season. The distribution of wheat midge is based on unparasitized cocoons found in the soil samples.

“The majority of the soil samples, 86%, had zero wheat midge cocoons in the soil,” Knodel says. “This is the record low since the wheat midge larval survey for overwintering cocoons started back in 1995. In 2018, we had another year with 84% of the soil samples with no cocoons.”

Twelve percent of the soil samples were at low risk, with one to 200 midge larvae per square meter.

Scouting for adult midges always is recommended because wet weather can cause rapid increases in the number of midges during emergence.

The moderate risk level (201 to 500 midge larvae per square meter) was observed in 1.5% of the samples.

“Moderate risk areas were scattered in three counties throughout the state, including the central area (Wells County), the west-central area (Mountrail County) and the northwestern area (Divide County),” Knodel says.

“Only 0.5% of the soil samples had very high population densities of wheat midge (greater than 800 midge larvae per square meter),” Knodel says. “The hot spots were located in south-central Divide County, close to the Williams County line and southeastern Mountrail County.

“These areas will definitely need to be scouted for wheat midge to

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent It’s Time to Plan The sunshine is staying longer and feels stronger. Maybe I should give credit to that for my motivation. Or maybe it’s because my geranium (which randomly grew from a seed that we didn’t plant last summer in the soil that I had potted our pineapple plant in) is blooming.

Again. For the third or fourth time this winter… (YAY!) Or maybe it’s because I saw some garden seeds in the store the other day. Or maybe it’s because it’s been so cold that I’m dreaming of warmer weather, more sunshine, being outdoors, watching plants grow and thrive, and being closer to nature.

Whatever the reason, the excitement is building to start another garden season, and right now is the perfect time to think about and start planning your garden. Gardens can come in all shapes and sizes. That means you can plant in a pot and keep it on your front step, apartment balcony, or any other place you find room to plant some fruits or vegetables. Some of my favorites from the past that I have planted in pots are tomatoes, strawberries, and herbs. No matter where you choose to plant your garden, there are few things you need to keep in mind when deciding what to plant.

The key to planning your garden for cooking purposes is that you want to not only look to your tastes in food but also your nutritional needs and what foods you would

make effective management decisions,” Knodel says. “Insecticides may be needed to reduce yield losses from economic populations of wheat midge.”

Some tips for monitoring for

wheat midge include scouting during the night, when wheat midge is most active, warm night temperatures about 59 F and winds less than 6 mph. Wheat is most susceptible to midge infestations from heading to early flowering (less than 50% flowering).

“Lots of mosquito repellent and a flashlight are needed to effectively count the number of orange-colored flies per wheat head,” Knodel says.

The economic thresholds for wheat midge are one or more midge observed for every four or five heads on hard red spring wheat, or one or more midge observed for every seven or eight heads on durum wheat.

Knodel adds, “This dramatic decrease in wheat midge populations from 2019 is probably due to dryness in 2020, especially in August.

Larvae are susceptible to dryness and require rain to emerge from the soil in late June through mid-July, and to drop out of the mature wheat heads and dig into the soil to overwinter as cocoons. Plotting precipitation from May through August against wheat midge cocoons for each surveyed county over the past 10 years shows a strong positive correlation between precipitation and wheat midge populations.”

Knodel recommends that producers use the wheat midge degreeday model to predict the emergence

NDSU Extension Notes

like to preserve so you can enjoy them next winter.

One easy way to do this to think of variety. A variety of how the plants grow as well as a variety in colors of the produce will help you determine what you need to have a diverse range of produce to eat. The range of colors may be the easiest way to vary your nutritional intake, and it’s fun to think of the rainbow as you plan.

Some foods that can be grown here that you could grow in your garden for each color: Red: strawberries, apples, and tomatoes Orange: carrots, pumpkins, and squash Yellow: yellow squash, corn, and yellow bell peppers Green: asparagus, peas, and green beans Blue/Purple: Juneberries, plums, red onions, and eggplant White: potatoes, turnips, and cauliflower And don’t forget the herbs!

Herbs can enhance the other foods you grow in your garden and help flavor your protein sources to your liking. Sometimes, people are hesitant to grow herbs in their garden because they aren’t sure they can, don’t know how, or aren’t sure which kinds they would like to grow, but there are several kinds we can grow here (basil, chives, cilantro, dill, garlic, oregano), and there is a way to determine which types you like best.

To test which herbs might work best for you so you can get an idea of what you would like to grow, try some this way:

Weather

of wheat midge and to determine when to scout, and if their wheat crop is at risk.

Producers can access the wheat midge degree-day model on the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network (NDAWN) website at https://ndawn.ndsu.nodak. edu/wheat-growing-degreedays.html.

Select your nearest NDAWN station and enter your wheat planting date. The output indicates the expected growth stage of the wheat and whether the crop is susceptible to midge infestation, as well as the timing of wheat midge emergence.

Knodel says, “Although the forecast is good for wheat growers to avoid the ravages of wheat midge, the bad news for 2021 is that the beneficial parasitic wasp is at a historic record low, with only 1.5% of the wheat midge cocoons parasitized.

“Parasitic wasps play an important role in natural control of wheat midge and parasitize the egg or larva,” she adds. “In contrast, the parasitism rate was 15% in 2020, 36% in 2019 and 9% in 2018. Parasitism was only observed in Williams, Mountrail and Ward counties.”

Herb Butter ½ c. softened butter 2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley, basil or herb of choice ½ tsp. minced garlic 2-3 tsp. lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste Blend all ingredients and form into a roll. Wrap tightly and freeze up to six months. Slice and use as desired. Spread on cracker or piece of bread to see what herbs you like best.

You can begin your garden today by planning what foods you will be planting this year, including herbs.

Once you do so, you can even start a few seeds to get your plants going! Whether you start the seeds early, plant the seeds straight in the garden, or buy some plants that have already been started, it will be fantastic to have fresh fruits and vegetables this coming summer.

Visit our website at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension for more information on growing a garden, and remember that we have a large variety of recipes that will help you use your garden produce, which might help you decide what you would like to grow this year.

You can also learn all about herbs and how to use them and grow them at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/fieldtofork/choose-yourcrop/herbs. You can also call the office (256-2560), stop in the office, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu if you have any questions or would like a copy of recipes or ideas.

Whether it’s planning out the garden space or purchasing the seed, it can remind you of the fresh, warm, bright sunny days ahead.

Remember the rainbow, have fun, and get ready to grow some food!

Have fun planning!

Marjorie (Soli) Jacobson A memorial service was held on Friday, February 12, 2021, at United Lutheran Church in Langdon for Marjorie (Soli) Jacobson, 95, of Langdon, who died peacefully February 6, 2021, at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon.

Burial will be in the summer in South Pembina Lutheran Cemetery, rural Langdon. A webcast of the service can be viewed on the funeral home website following the service.

Marjorie (Marge) Kathleen was born on March 20, 1925, to Thorsten and Mathilde (Bode) Soli in Vang, where she grew up and attended elementary school. She attended high school in Twin Valley, Minn., where she graduated as valedictorian in June of 1943. While attending high school in Twin Valley, she lived with her maternal aunt, Laura Erickson.

Following high school, she worked for a time at Bell Telephone in Fargo where she shared rooms with Gloria Jacobson. That is where she met her future husband, Floyd Jacobson, Gloria’s brother. She and Floyd were married in Vang on June 28, 1947. She and Floyd lived in Walhalla and moved to Portland, Ore., in 1948. There, she did secretarial work in the offices of the Hyster Company. The couple returned to Cavalier County in 1949. In 1951, they moved to Stillwater, Minn., where they lived and worked until 1960. She worked as a payroll clerk at Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing while Floyd worked as a carpenter. In 1960, she and Floyd returned to Cavalier County and built a home at Mona, in Loam Township, where she baked, decorated, and sold wedding cakes. She and Floyd bought Langdon Floral from Alice Power in 1967. She operated the business in three locations in downtown Langdon for the next 31 years. She retired in 1998.

Floyd died in October of 1973. The Grand Forks Herald featured her

retirement in their business section, recognizing her accomplishments as a business leader in the region. In retirement she became an avid and accomplished quilter and served on various committees at United Lutheran Church where she was a long-time member. She enjoyed reading, watching Olympic figure skating, baking, and keeping up with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her passport was stamped in England, Norway, Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, and Canada. She was happiest when she hosted family gatherings. She had a gift for hospitality and welcomed whoever showed up at her table.

She simply added more plates and pulled up a few more chairs. Her family joked that she could, without notice, feed a small army from the contents of her pantry’s lazy Susan.

She is missed by her children: Terry (Janet) Jacobson of Wales, Joel (Lisa) Jacobson of Langdon, Melissa (Jeff) Gale of Carrington, Kathleen (William) Barron of Topeka, Kan.; her grandchildren: Britt Jacobson (Nathan Kjelland) of Park River, Anna Jacobson of Minneapolis, Minn., Zach (Andrea) Jacobson of Langdon, Zane Jacobson of Sabin, Minn., Jennifer (Matt) Hall of Fargo, Josiah Barron of Colorado Springs, Colo.; six great-grandchildren: Clara and Soren Kjelland of Park River, Harper, Riley, Hunter and Maren Jacobson of Langdon; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is also survived by her sister, Mary Bisenius, and brother-in-law, Harvey Jacobson.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd; parents Mathilde and Thorsten Soli; and brothers Hubert Soli and Erling Soli.

Memorials can be directed to: Osnabrock Community Living Center, South Pembina Cemetery Association, or American Diabetes Association.

Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements.

Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 18, 2021, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon with visitation from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 17, 2021, at the church for Paul Schneider, 56, of Mt. Carmel, who passed away February 6, 2021, at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital in Langdon. Mask wearing and social distancing are highly encouraged.

Paul Michael Schneider was born August 3, 1964, in Langdon to Ron-

Devotions by community pastors

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

“Love -- Old and New” Late summer, early autumn, is my favorite time of the year to eat. Whether fresh produce comes from your own garden, is the gift of a neighbor, or is purchased at the Farmer’s Market - it’s enough to make my mouth water. What makes this harvest of cucumbers and tomatoes, peas, beans, and potatoes so good?

They’re fresh!

Food is at its best when it’s crisp, moist, juicy, and bright. What’s true of fruits and vegetable is also true of the core social commandment of Jesus’ teaching love for our fellow man is best when it’s fresh.

In a letter to Jesus’ followers, John wrote, “I am writing no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in Him and in you” (1 John 2:7 and 8). John goes on to describe the brotherly love that is a public evidence of faith in Christ.

We’re reminded that the instruction to “love your neighbor as yourself” is as old as the teachings of Moses and the Old Testament rules of Israel. In general, God’s commandments to His people had always been a call to love one another.

In the Gospel of Matthew (chapter 22), Jesus would summarize the teachings of Moses’ Law and of the Old Testament prophets by saying, “all the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.” The two commandments He refers to address a person’s

This is a little late notice, but Valentine’s Day is Sunday! Did you remember? I’m excited to say I did this year, and I shopped local and sent some cute gifts to friends.

I am writing this before the annual Toy Show at the Activity Center, so I won’t say that I went, but I do hope to get there on Sunday. They will be open Saturday, February 13 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, February 14 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. There is a $3 cover charge at the door. There will be concessions for sale as well.

This week I only have three businesses to highlight.

The first highlight is Langdon Floral located at 707 3rd Street in Langdon - conveniently right across from Sew On & Sew North. The owner is Tatiana (Tati) Davis, and she is a ND state certified florist.

Regular hours are: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-2 p.m. and 3-5 p.m., Friday and Saturday hours are 9 a.m.-2 p.m. FYI….for the Valentines shoppers, she will be open Saturday, February 13 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sun-

love for God and love for his fellowman.

Jesus gives new coverage to the commandment to love others. He tells His students the story of a good Samaritan, illustrating that they are to love anyone who needs their compassionate help, but Jesus is just getting started. He demonstrates a new quality of love.

More than simply loving others as we love ourselves, Jesus challenges folks to love others with the same measure that He loves us. He says, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:12 and 13).

How is the old commandment to love, at the same time, a new commandment to love? John is not spinning a clever riddle. The message of love is at the core of Jesus’ life and teaching. That message is deep-rooted in Judeo-Christian faith. The commandment is old in that these principles have a tried-and-true history.

And how is the old commandment new? John would answer, “in [Jesus] and in you” (1 John 2:8). The love John writes about is demonstrated in Jesus. It is to remain a fact of life in those who profess a relationship of fellowship with God. More than just a religious idea, the love characterized by Jesus is lived-out by those who follow Him. So, new potatoes? Fresh carrots? How about an old commandment that is also new? I invite you to consider brotherly love at its best - as modeled by Jesus and lived out by His followers. If it were a vegetable, this love would be farmer’s market fresh!

Annual Porrablot auction – with a different style Every year, an extremely important part of the ICA February Þorrablót has been the LIVE and SILENT AUCTIONS. While we have a lot of fun and create a lot of laughter during the live auction, our goal is to raise funds to support not only the ICA but also many of the outside projects it funds such as the Snorri Program Grant and Heritage Site Grants. To date, $11,500 has been raised by the ICA at Þorrablót events as well as $16,000 raised at the ICA sponsored 2017 INLNA convention to assist these and other projects within our communities.

As you know, due to COVID-19 concerns and regulations, the 2021 Þorrablót will not take place, but our auction will go forward using an online bidding platform with help from our annual live auction auctioneer, Dennis Biliske, of Resource Auction.

You’ll find many of your favorite traditional Icelandic items and delicacies such as Pinot Noir wine from Bjornson Winery, rúllupylsa, hangikjöt, and maybe some kleinur.

A beautiful handmade quilt in the Aurora pattern by Guðrun Erla has already been received for the auction, and we hope there will be many other fine donations similar to those usually found on the silent auction.

Bids will open February 21 and close February 27, 2021. Further details- including a link to the online bidding site, how to bid and where to donate items- will be posted on the August the Deuce Facebook page and on our website at http:// thedeuce.org/porrablot-auctioninformation/.

If you have items that you wish to donate for the auction, drop them off at the Mountain Chalet any day of the week before 1 pm, or you can call Dori Heck at 701-382-9399 or e-mail her at dorikatelmt@hotmail. com to arrange a different delivery time or if you have questions.

If you live outside of the area but would like to donate an item, contact Dori, and she will help work out the details.

IRS imposter scam Scammers impersonating Internal Revenue Service agents continue to con people out of their money.

In a recent three-year period, the Treasury Department received reports of more than 1.6 million calls from IRS impersonators, with more than 8,600 victims collectively losing almost $47 million.

Con artists impersonating IRS agents have numerous ways to make the hoax seem convincing.

They can trick caller ID to make it appear that the call is coming from an actual IRS office. They may even know part of the person’s Social Security number.

The IRS says scammers are increasingly turning to robocalls to reach as many potential victims as possible. But you can deter the phony tax collectors by following some basic precautions.

Here are two red flags: It’s a phone call. The IRS communicates mostly through the mail.

The other warning sign is the person calling you demands immediate payment and threatens to have you arrested.

When you receive calls from IRS impersonators or other government impersonators, hang up immediately. Consider filing a fraud alert or freezing your credit with the three major credit-reporting bureaus if a scammer knows part of your Social Security number.

Never provide or confirm personal or financial information over the phone to someone who claims to be a government official.

Don’t respond to a purported IRS email or text message asking for your information. The IRS doesn’t do that.

Don’t agree to pay a tax bill with a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. Scammers prefer these methods because they’re difficult to trace and can be used almost anywhere.

And don’t be pressured or bullied. A scammer will issue threats and demands to get you to act quickly.

If you think you have fallen

Brush with the Bunch

Some of you may wonder - what is the Brush Bunch and what do they do? Some may think that it‘s just a bunch who get together each week to paint, gossip and eat. Well, we do those things and so much more.

In the next few weeks, I plan on bringing to your attention some of the things the Brush Bunch has done for and around our community and surrounding area. Early in the history of the Brush Bunch (around 1977), the newly-formed club was commissioned to paint an 8‘x10‘ mural for the Terry Sanders family in the Milton-Osnabrock area. The scene painted depicts the farm when Grandpa Sanders bought it in 1912. Shown is some of the artists putting finishing touches on some of the buildings in the mural. Left to right in the picture are: Ellen Green, Audrey Dunnigan, June Slama and Mickey Stillwell. Other painters present for the project but not shown were: Dawn Schurman, Helen Tongen, Frances Carrier, Laurel Brusseau, Rose Gendron, and Marie Dalzell. Audrey Dunnigan, June Slama and Mickey Stillwell were three of the ladies who started the painting club known as the Brush Bunch in 1971, 50 years ago, with fourteen members. This would grow to around twenty members and soon will be our 50th Anniversary celebration. Plan on joining us to celebrate on May 1-2 (God willing) at the American Legion in Walhalla to view some fine art, photography, coffee, snacks, register for prizes and vote for “People‘s Choice.“ Bring the kids as there is a lot for them to do, also. My quip for the day from Just for Laughs: “I had my patience tested. It came back negative.“ Have a great day, and God Bless!

Guest Column: Get to Know the St. Alphonsus School Board

By Julie Regner I love St. Alphonsus School, and I love helping to keep it moving forward. My name is Julie Regner, I am the president of the St. Alphonsus School Board. We thought it would be nice to have a guest column to explain how our school board helps our private Catholic school operate.

I would like to introduce to you the current members of the St. Alphonsus School Board: Julie Regner – President Koree Hoffman – Vice President Carol Wild – Secretary Sarah Pritchard Jason Spanier Maria Eisenzimmer Lindsey Meidinger Our board meets once a month.

We are parents and community members who want to see the best for our wonderful school. We serve preschool age through grade 8 at St. Alphonsus School. Our goal as a school board is to increase enrollment in all grades, to maintain updated curriculums in all subjects, and to work to increase the pay scale for our incredible teachers.

As school board members, it’s our job to oversee and assist the school principal and superintendent (our parish priest, Father Michael) with keeping the school and staff fully accredited, maintain and increase enrollment of all grades, and to fundraise as needed for higher price needs of the school. We also make sure our school stays safe and up to code for the security and safety of our students and staff.

I became a member of the school

Cavalier County will be accepting bids for the possible purchase of up to four new .75, 4x4 work style pickups with gas motors. Delivery date to be no later than September 30, 2021. Bids need to be submitted to the Cavalier County Commissioners, c/o Auditor’s Office, 901

board because I wanted to make sure my kids got the best education possible while being in a faith-based environment. I’m happy to report that is the case! Our curriculum at St. Alphonsus is up-to-date, we have current technology available to our students, and our student/ teacher ratio is low so students can get the one-on-one attention they deserve to thrive in a learning environment.

We are a private school that has tuition, but we also have tuition assistance available. We want everyone who wants to have the opportunity to send their children to our school to have that chance to have their children learn in a faith-based school environment. We encourage prayer, we pray for each other, and we have weekly mass where different grades are responsible for readings. I have seen my children grow, and I want that for any other parents who desire to see that happen in their home as well.

We are working on making our school more visible and letting people know what we’re up to – we want to be better known in our own community. We especially want to be welcoming of new people who move into town.

We have many new things happening at our school. Follow us on Facebook at St. Alphonsus School; attend one of our many events that are open to the public; or reach out to a board member or our principal, Carrie Hope, to learn more and have your questions answered.

Our doors are always open (and our cell phones are on) to those wishing to know more. Our school phone number is 256-2354.

Blades boys reel off four wins, push winning streak to six

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

After starting the season with an 0-4-1 record, the Langdon Blades junior gold hockey team had hope to start putting things together after a couple a close, early season losses.

Since a 3-3 tie with Minot on January 9, the Blades have now won six games in a row. Three of those victories came on their annual western road trip shutting out Watford City 8-0 on February 5, winning at Richland 5-2 on February 6, then holding on to beat Crosby 3-2. The Blades also won a home exhibition game versus the MayPort JV. Langdon has three more games left on their regular season schedule, starting with their last two home games of the year, February 13 versus Minot and February 19 against Northwood.

They then will play at Grand Forks on February 28 in a game that could have lots of postseason implications.

The Junior Gold State Tournament will be held in Fargo March 4-6.

In their first league game of their western weekend, the Blades got right to work at Watford City with four first period goals. Mason Romfo got it started with an unassisted score, followed by Rudy Moser, Brady Regner and Isak Dease each putting a puck in the net. Regner, Romfo, Parker Rime and Kadyn Hein all had first period assists.

Langdon would add another goal in the second when Alex Gellner would light the lamp on assists from Romfo and Dease. The Blades poured it on in the third with three more goals from Gellner, Dease and Brody Steinmetz to win by a rout. Romfo had two assists to get a playmaker honor, and Gellner and Regner also were credited with third period assists.

Dawson Hein had a great night in goal for the Blades, getting a shut out with 29 saves. Langdon outshot Watford City 42-29.

The next night the Blades took on

the Richland Rangers in Sidney, MT. Again, Langdon got off to a nice start with two goals in the first frame with Regner scoring unassisted and Dease putting in a goal on assists from Gellner and Rime. Dease would score again in the second assisted by Regner. Leading 3-2 going into the third, Regner and Romfo would each score unassisted goals to put the game away. Hein would get the win with 25 saves in net, and Langdon outshot Richland 30-27.

The last game of the Blades western road trip would be the most competitive, as they won a close battle with Crosby. Cooper Zimmer got the scoring going for Langdon with an unassisted goal early in the first period followed by Rime with a power play goal in the second. After Crosby cut the Langdon lead to one at 2-1, Gellner scored unassisted, then the Blades hung to win after Crosby, again, cut the lead to one with about nine minutes left in the game. Hein had 44 saves to preserve the victory.

Baby, it's REALLY cold outside!

Let's start this week and do like everyone else is doing, complaining about the cold. We are on a stretch of three straight nights of -30 low temperatures, and going to be over a week of temps that we've had of -20 plus. But, looking on the bright side as always, we are going to warm back up in the week ahead, and hopefully negative temps will be in our rear view mirror for the winter by Wednesday. So, even if it's been a bit struggle here for a couple of days, much happier ones are on the horizon.

District 8 Girls Tournament continues at home sites As we write the District 8 Girls Tournament is rolling. As we have told you the last couple weeks, it's a different feel for Tournament Time this year, being the whole thing is being played at home sites this year, due to the pandemic. This again is actually good news for the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals girls team, as the Lady Cards now gets two home games they normally wouldn't have had. They host a semifinal game at 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 13, then will host another game, possibly the championship, on Feb. 15 at 7:30. The first two days of the tourney on Feb. 12-13 were moved up time wise due to the frigid temperatures.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich boys basketball team has last regular season home game Feb. 16 For the regular season, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys basketball team will host its last regular season game of the year on Feb. 16, versus Griggs-Midkota, which is a new co-op this year between Midkota and Griggs County Central. But like the girls teams, the Cardinals boys were close to clinching the District 8 regular season title, which would guarantee them two more home game for the tournament, which begins Feb. 26. But the time to see the fifth ranked team in the state is getting short, so hopefully you can come out and see them in person on Feb. 16.

State Wrestling Tournament coming to the Fargodome Feb. 18-20 The first winter state tournament of the season will happen on Feb. 18-20, with the State A and B Tournament at the Fargodome. The Pembina County North Grizzlies, who won the Region 2 Dual Title, are seeded fifth for the dual portion of the tournament, and they will take on fourth seeded Velva at 10:00 a.m. on Feb. 20. The first two

days of the tourney will be dedicated to the individual portion of the tourney, and many Grizzlies wrestlers are seeded in the top three, with a decent chance at a state title. We wish all of our area wrestlers the best of luck at State.

The BAND is back Feb. 20 Let's leave you with this awesome nugget, our band Hard Times is finally back in action, coming to At the Hop Bar and Grill in Langdon the night of Feb. 20, as part of the Snowfest Snowmobile run, hosted the Moonlighters Snowmobile Club. In these pandemic times, you never know when to dip your toe back in the water with the band, but we are going to give it a shot. If you want to come out and see us, we would love to see you, and if you are still a nervous about the COVID situation, we understand that too. But Cavalier County has gone a good week now with no positive cases, and as of this writing there are now active cases in the county. How cool is that! We hope you come have a fun evening with us Feb. 20 At the Hop. "See ya!" next week!

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Lady Cards finish regular season on 3-game losing streak Cardinals take a 13-6 record in the postseason

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals were on a 10-game winning streak when they reached the last week of their regular season.

After losing to Four Winds-Minnewaukan 61-54 on February 1, the Lady Cards also lost at home to Grafton 70-46 on February 5 then lost 40-36 to Velva on February 6.

After those three losses, the Cardinals record is now 13-6 as they hit the postseason. Langdon-EdmoreMunich has the top seed in the District 8 Girls Basketball Tournament, where each game will be held at the site of the higher seed February 1215. The Cards have a bye in the first round and will host either St. John or Rolla in the semifinals, which has been moved up timewise to 1:30 p.m. on February 13 due to frigid temperatures expected. If the Cardinals are fortunate enough to win the semifinal game, they will play for the District 8 title at 7:30 p.m. on February 15. Here is a recap of their last two games in the regular season.

Grafton 70, Langdon-EdmoreMunich 46 The Lady Cards met the Spoilers in a battle of two of the top 10 teams in the state with Grafton ranked third and Langdon-Edmore-Munich ranked eighth. Grafton slowly pulled away in this one, with Carlee Sieben and Walker DeMers each scoring 11 first half points to give their team a 30-18 halftime lead.

The Cards got that lead down to seven twice in the third quarter, as Kaylee Lowery got hot, scoring nine points in the third quarter and 14 of her team high 16 in the second half.

Cavalier County Republican

Cards boys win 3 of 4 in busy stretch to move to 14-2 on the year

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals basketball team had their schedule hit high gear, when they played four games in six days: They won at home over Benson County 76-43 on Feb. 4, lost hosting Grafton 54-40 on Feb. 5, beat Fargo Oak Grove 88-82 in a shootout on Feb. 6, then played a home game in Munich, beating Rolette in a District 8 game 75-28 on Feb. 9. After the big run of games the Cardinals record now stands at 14-2. They played at St. John on Feb. 11, then have their last home game of the regular season against Griggs-Midkota on Feb. 16. The Cardinals have also added a game to their schedule, at Grafton on Feb. 22, with the start time to be determined. The Cards are ranked fifth in the state in the latest media poll. Here is a recap of their last four games: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 76, Benson 43 The Cards turned it on in the second half to break open a close game and blow out the Wildcats. Grant Romfo sizzled the nets for 18 points in the first half, while Simon Romfo had 10.

The Cardinals led by a score of 31-27 at halftime, before they got their transition game going in the third quarter. Jagger Worley went to work with 12 points in the third frame, helping this team to a 56-38 lead after three quarters. Eight different players scored in the fourth quarter as the Cards ran away with the victory.

Grant Romfo finished with 27 points, Simon 19 and Worley 16 to lead the Cards in scoring. The Cards outrebounded the Wildcats 39-19, with Markus Kingzett leading the team with nine.

Grafton 60, Langdon-EdmoreMunich 42 The next night against the Spoilers, Langdon-Edmore-Munich had a tough shooting night for much of the game. Grafton hit five 3-pointers in the first half, bringing them a

The Cardinals whittled that lead down to five in the third quarter a couple of different times, but each time the Spoilers would come up with a big shot to move that lead back out. The Cards could only score six points in the fourth quarter and never had a chance to get back in the game down the stretch.

Jagger Worley had 13 points for the Cardinals, followed by Simon Romfo with 12,. Steven Garza had 19 points for Grafton.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 88, Fargo Oak Grove 82 Arguably the most entertaining game the Cardinals had in their four game run was a track meet at Fargo Oak Grove. This was a game that was a late addition to schedule, both teams were looking for a one more contest in the regular season.

The Cards had an unreal day shooting basketball, hitting on 61 percent of their shots (!!), and mak-

Langdon-Edmore-Munich led 71-57 after three quarters, then held on to win by six. Their hot shooting helped offset the turnovers they committed. Simon Romfo had 25 points in the win, followed by Grant Romfo with 21 and Jagger Worley with 13. Carter Tetrault also had 11 points, while Gage Good nailed three 3 pointers for nine points, and Markus Kingzett going a perfect a perfect 4 for 4 from the field with also nine points.

Worley had a near season high 14 rebounds in the game, while Grant Romfo had 11 boards. Simon Romfo had six rebounds and seven assists.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 75, Rolette 28 In their last game of the run, the Cards treated the home crowd in Munich to fast break show from start to finish. The Cardinals streaked to a 22-10 lead after the first quarter, then put up 31 points in the second, going on a 26-0 run to start the quarter, to lead at the half 51-14. Simon Romfo had 14 points and Grant Romfo 12 in the first session.

Munich senior Jagger Worley, playing his last game in his home gym, had a nice game with 11 points, seven rebounds, six steals and three assists in the win. Nine different players scored for the Cardinals in the victory.

By Rita Maisel

Our Basketball Heritage Each year, when tournament time comes around, basketball stories seem to come out of the woodwork.

The stories might arrive by phone or email, by snail mail, or pop up unsearched for in a book looked at a dozen times before. Sometimes the stories are shared in the grocery aisles or at church or even while picking up the mail. The stories tell about a long ago era when residents of Cavalier County put many other duties on hold and headed for the games on horseback, in jumpers, by train, on foot, by bombardier, by airplane and by car.

My own introduction to basketball is a dim memory of being carried into the new, and possibly not finished, LHS gymnasium in the late 1930s. My only real memory is that it was before I started school, and I was impressed by the pretty girls leading the cheering squads and the music of Homer Agar’s band. Beyond that, it was absolutely the noisiest place I had ever been. Company had been at our house for supper, so relatives were part of the mix as well as members of a family from Hannah. There would be teams from Osnabrock, Langdon, and Hannah playing that night. All three of the schools had some successful games behind them so they were always contenders. Many years later former players on those teams, plus a few others, assured me it must have been a night when their team won.

Tournaments were noted for memorable games, and night after night some of the teams did win. Helen Olson’s scrapbook has an undated picture of the band before she was old enough to play in it and a note that says when the picture was taken; they had played for ten years for county tournaments and in the preceding December had played for the first Du-

Cavalier County Republican

rum Show.

We do know that basketball had been around for many years but not in the organized style of today. Langdon young ladies - in middy tops, long skirts, laced up shoes with high heels and ribbons in their hair to designate the team they were on - had been playing outdoors as early as 1904 with hoops nailed to the side of a barn we are told. It must have been a spring/summer/fall game in those years. The girls were allowed to move indoors when the first St. Alphonsus Church was moved to the east side of now Third Street and became a parish hall used for many purposes while the present church was being constructed. Visiting with some of those early players 70 years later, I was told they thought they had once played girls from Milton but were “not sure if it was legal then”.

In 1914 there were dozens of teams from schools large and small who had formed teams and wanted to play on an organized level. Four districts were established: Grand Forks and Fargo in the east and Bismarck and Minot in the west. The top team in each district would play the others, and early on it seemed Fargo’s district had the edge. By 1922 the smaller schools set up a state tournament for “tiny” schools which they called the North Dakota Consolidated League. Munich played in that league and brought home some of the trophies. In 1933 the North Dakota High School League split into Class A for larger schools and Class B for smaller schools. Class C was added in 1948, and the Consolidated League abandoned in 1950. Munich, Osnabrock and Alsen all won at state levels in Class C, but at county tournament time upsets could and did happen. During the missile era when the enrollment mushroomed up, Langdon went to Class A for a few years, and the boys had at least one trip to state in that classification.

Girls began playing in 1974, and a picture in the Centennial book shows the 1978 team, which won the Regional

Langdon Long Ago

in class A and went on to win 4th at State. Local girl’s teams have been consistent contenders in both volleyball and basketball down through the years. To date the Langdon Area and LEM girls have won Class B twice: 2005 and 2020.

Langdon boys seemed to have had baseball, track and football before basketball became popular, but we know the boys played in the earlier years as well. Merrill Schallow of the Minot Daily News wrote a book about the history of boys basketball in North Dakota, and his first mention of Langdon in the State Tournament is from 1939. Schallow especially cited Bob Murie of Langdon as an exceptional player. Murie went on to coach as did his son, Craig, and maybe by now a grandson or two, but I did not find that name in recent Hoopster or Miss Hoopster listings.

Local fans have told me Langdon also went to state in 1940, and when they named the players, that is a team I remember seeing play in person as a small child. It helped that some local fans had saved programs and shared them a few years back. At that time there were third generation teams appearing on the television screens. For some families we are now down to fourth generation, and those earlier players are showing up on basketball courts around the state with some in coaching positions.

With those thoughts in mind, the current Hoopster and Miss Hoopster editions arrived in the mail. Names from generations of basketball fans and players are consistent generation after generation. One that you may hear quite often this year is Crockett. Floyd Crockett played back in the early 1940s, and I understand his brother, Orrin, in the late 1930s.

There had been Crocketts from at least three branches of the family in my class at school – all cousins. There were few years without a Crockett on local teams. In recent years most of the players appeared to be Floyd and Della’s grandchildren or maybe Orrin and Alma’s grandchildren or

Claude and Cleo’s. Too many to keep straight, of course. It was time to ask family to sort them out. Four who appear in the Hoopster listings this year are Jase, who is a senior at Northern Cass and may play more than football and basketball, but most of his publicity is about those sports. His grandparents are Larry and Susan Faye, and his dad is Mike Crockett.

Floyd, Larry, and Mike all played for Langdon teams making Jase the fourth generation in that sport. Also at Northern Cass is senior Macie Danielson, who shares the same grandparents and great-grandparents. Her parents are Cherilyn (Crockett) and Jeremy Danielson who also were involved in LHS sports. Macie plays on the Northern Cass girls team along with her cousins, Halle and Haidyn Crockett, who are Jase’s sisters. Halle got special mention for 43 points in a single game, and we hope that score is correct because it is a great score for a young player. Both Cherilyn and her sister, Ashley, went on to coaching as well.

While asking questions about former residents who continued in sports or whose children and grandchildren are following in their footsteps, the Manson name always surfaces. Gene Manson was an outstanding player in basketball and went on to many honors during his coaching career. Most readers will remember his wife, Merry Boe, who also graduated at Langdon. Currently they have grandchildren playing at every level, and basketball appears to be a favorite sport. I was told second generation player and coach Bart Manson has three children (he is still coaching basketball at Fargo Davies), and Ross, who has also coached, has two. The youngest Manson brother is Brian, whose children are younger. Granddaughter Maggie Manson is now playing basketball at UND. Ben Manson is now playing on the boys team at West Fargo Sheyenne along with a player named Dominick Dosmann, who might have roots in Cavalier County. Alivia Manson is a

member of the girls basketball team at West Fargo Sheyenne, and Grandpa Gene might still be in the wings giving advice.

If you want to watch familiar faces play ball, there are grandchildren all across the state. The Carriers, playing at Cavalier and Walhalla as well as some who might be at college, are grandchildren of Estelle and the late Ernie Carrier from Milton. Jason and Collette Schwabe have a daughter, Sydney, playing on the girls basketball team at Thompson, and Dennis and Carol Throndset have a grandson, Logan Maus, on the boys team, also at Thompson. John Beneda on the Park River team is the grandson of Ron and Rita Beneda.

When someone suggested I look at the coaches, I found several whose names were familiar, but for some reason their faces are different. Sherry DeMaine is coaching girls basketball at Fargo Davies, Dan Treleaven (with a beard I do not remember) is coaching boys at Benson County, and at least one of his sisters has also been a coach in recent years. The Treleavens mentioned would be third or fourth generation in their family to play in Cavalier County, and there may be younger players on other teams today. The Jordan family, with many players, also started out at Hannah, and there is a good memory of Elmer telling about a son or grandchild playing every night if the roads were good enough to get to the games. I suspect some of his grandchildren are now coaching their own children behind the scenes as are the descendants of other early basketball players and fans.

This year’s issue of Miss Hoopster is only the second one in 30 years to picture a Langdon team, so it is a keeper. However, the listings inside are always good reading. No matter how small the town, they have had some entertaining teams, and the stats are a reminder of games you watched, listened to, or even played in.

Dakota Gardener: Tree planting in winter? I love science

By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension On Super Bowl Sunday, I planted my first trees for 2021.

The high temperature was minus 11. Clearly, they weren’t planted outside.

I used tall pots for the 24 green ash seedlings and 24 bur oak seedlings.

They’re both native species and can withstand our cold winters, along with droughts and occasional floods.

We don’t have a greenhouse at home, so the trees are in our dining room.

For now.

I’m trying to see what happens to the annual tree rings when the trees break out of dormancy early. Do the rings develop normally? If not, can I describe or measure the different growth?

This is dining room science, but it has nothing to do with dinner selection or human nutrition.

In my studies on tree rings, I’ve observed several thousand rings from hundreds of trees throughout North Dakota and western Minnesota. The rings show which years had great growing conditions and which years were dry. We can tell when a tree was

wounded and sometimes we can see flooding in the rings.

Can we tell which years had an abnormally early spring? That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

The annual rings for 1910, 1958 and 2012 in many local bur oak trees show something weird. I know, that’s not a very scientific description. Nevertheless, the rings for these years are clearly different than those from other years.

I remember that spring came early in 2012. The maple tree on our boulevard in Fargo was flowering in January. Yes, January. Temperatures were in the low 50s for at least three days that month. That maple tree, and many others in the area, didn’t survive.

But the green ash and the bur oak trees did survive. And the bur oaks had a weird ring in 2012. Apparently, the spring of 1910 also came early, leaving its mark on the bur oak trees. I’ve seen similarly weird rings in green ash trees in 1947 and 1986 as well, at least in western North Dakota.

And that brings us back to the experiment. Can we force an early spring on these tree seedlings? Yes, we can. We did it last year as well, growing more than 100 seedlings in our greenhouse - I mean in our dining

room. Seedlings were planted in early February, early March and early April and they all broke bud and grew normally. Did that early spring result in weird growth in the rings?

I don’t know yet. The experiment isn’t finished.

A downside to this project is that the seedlings have to be killed to look at the rings. To look at the rings of large, standing trees, we extract cores from them. The cores go across the rings, showing the tree’s response each year. Coring makes a small wound in the stem, but the trees recover within a year or two. Too bad I can’t do that with these tiny seedlings.

I love this project because it demonstrates the scientific method, where we take our observations and come up with explanations. The explanations become hypotheses that we then test in a controlled environment. And then we adjust our experiments and re-test, and test again.

I’ll keep doing that for as long as my wife lets me keep trees in the dining room. Thanks, dear!
