Greg Goodman, life-long resident of Cavalier County, has experience not only as a producer himself but has also worked as an ag lender prior to becoming a partner at Bachman Goodman Ag Services. He explained that everyone that serves producers is working hard to help their customers make it another year.

“Our biggest challenge is still Mother Nature. Yes, prices are low. Yes, expenses are high. But if you can’t get in the field this spring and get a good start to the crop in 2020, the challenges Greg Goodman recently spoke at the Northwest Farm Managers Association and gave advice on financing for this will continue,” Goodman said.

CCMH offers ServSafe Food Safety Management Training Program

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor The food supply in the United States is among the safest in the world thanks to strict guidelines and inspections conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, when certain disease-causing bacteria or pathogens contaminate food, they can cause foodborne illness, often called “food poisoning.” Estimates place the number of cases of foodborne illness annually at about 48 million case – the equivalent of sickening 1 in 6 Americans each year.

Proper food safety is the primary defense against foodborne illness, and Michelle Chock of Cavalier County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) will be teaching a class to the general public that provides just that. The class will take place on Saturday, March 7, and the deadline to register is Wednesday, February 26.

“ServSafe Food Safety Manager Training Program – the class will explain the costs of a foodborne illness outbreak, the major players that cause foodborne illness, and how to prevent food from being contaminated from the moment it

enters a facility to the time it is consumed,” Chock explained.

“Some of the subjects that will be covered include: personal hygiene practices, time and temperature control, cooking/holding/cooling food, and cleaning/sanitizing.”

CCMH requires all dietary personnel to be a certified Food Protection Manager and is having a few employees take the

managers/owners who oversee food operations on a day-today basis should strongly consider attending as regulations could soon be changing.

“North Dakota has not adopted the section of the FDA food code that requires a food protection manager to be onsite at all times, but a study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that having a food protection manager lowers the risk of a foodborne illness outbreak in a facility,” Chock shared.

Those interested in taking the class will need to create an account with ServSafe course. The decision to open to purchase a ServSafe Manit up to the public with a limit ager book with an online exam of 15 participants was done as voucher. Chock explained that a way to make the community these items take about a week more food safety aware. to deliver which results in the “We are opening the course final deadline to sign up beto the public because there are ing February 26.

Financing the farm in 2020 presents unique challenges

ing some 2020 crop if prices do increase in the coming months is also a good idea.

“I had a professor at NDSU that started his marketing class each year with a statement: 'Farmers are price takers, not price makers'. For many moons, I did not agree with his statement. But, over time, I realized that this was not a negative statement,” Goodman said. “What he meant was that we are not in control of making the price, but we are in control of taking it when it fits our marketing plan that correlates to positive financial results. So, if those opportunities arise in 2020, to lock in a price at a profitable level, do it. Every little thing counts.”

One of the saving graces for many producers in 2019 was the Market Facilitation Program. The first round began in late May of 2019 with a second following in the fall. The final round for the program occurred earlier this month with producers receiving payments. While this alleviates some of the financial burden on producers, the biggest concern remains.

“Prices. Nobody wants to farm for government payments.

While they have been a huge part of the 2019 net farm income, reliance on these payments going forward are unclear,” Goodman said.

So, how can producers successfully adjust to the current situation they face? Goodman provides a few tips to his fellow producers. cont. on page 2

Heroes and Heels dance set for Feb. 29

By Lisa Nowatzki Republican Writer When did you learn to dance, and who taught you?

County Commission accepts HR resignation The commissioners commended Beggs for her services to the county and approved her resignation.

The Commission discussed, at length, the next steps that will need to be taken to replace Beggs. With the addition of the social services zone work, Cavalier County Recorder Vicki Kubat put forward the possibility of having a full-time HR person for Cavalier County. After extensive discussion, Commissioner Nick Moser and Commissioner Austin Lafrenz both expressed that a full-time person would be better. The commissioners will revisit the issue at a later meeting.

In Other Business • The Commission revisited the issue of the Forestry Stewardship Program and its future in the county. Commissioner Stanley Dick provided more information on the options available, one being to phase out the program and let the Forestry Service change the program to reimburse the landowners for taxes on the acres. The other is to increase the taxable value of the acres in the program. Dick informed his fellow commissioners that current District 10 Representative Dave Monson is willing to take a proposal to the legislature for changes to the Forestry Stewardship Program.

• The tabled issue from the previous meeting regarding the meeting for the Senator Young Dam was revisited. Commissioner Greg Goodman presented a letter of reply to the correspondence received. The reply and sending representatives was approved.

• The commissioners received correspondence from the state regarding the contract for the clerk of courts office and the court service. The Commission approved the contract.

• The Commission changed the meeting dates for March.

The new meeting dates will be March 10 at 8:30 a.m. and March 24 at 1 p.m.

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor The Cavalier County Commission met on Tuesday, February 18 following the President’s Day holiday. The meeting had a short agenda that lead to a lot of discussion and input from county employees.

The Commission discussed slope stability studies and the county’s need to conduct them for some road projects. Cavalier County Road Supervisor Terry Johnston and a representative of KLJ provided information and bids from firms that would be able to do the studies and provide the information to the county. After extensive discussion, one option the Commission agreed to proceed with was conducting the initial requirements for the design of the road.

Cavalier County Weed Officer Josh Short informed the Commission that the weed board rejected all bids for the Mahindra UTV. The board received 12 bids in total, but all fell short of the minimum the weed board felt should be gained from the sale.

Short discussed the option of holding a public auction for the UTV which will be discussed at the next weed board meeting.

This would require the auction to be held on the same day as a commission meeting as the Commission would need to approve or reject bids.

The commissioners held a conference call with Cavalier County HR Officer Crystal Beggs.

They discussed the timekeeping of employees which has been an ongoing issue for county employees and department heads.

Beggs notified the Commission that she will be resigning effective the date of the Commission meeting held on February 18. She explained her reasons for resigning as being the increased workload and unnecessary stress. Beggs will finish the more pressing HR issues such as the hiring of a zone director for social services among them.

Langdon School Board has full agenda at last meeting

By Lisa Nowatzki Republican Writer On Tuesday, February 18, the Langdon Area School Board (LASB) met to discuss a full agenda.

Shauna Schneider gave the business manager’s report.

Banks accounts for January 2020 have been reconciled. 1099 and W4’s have been sent out.

Schneider also presented the Board with possible liability issues concerning staff and the lack of background checks. According to Schneider, any employee or volunteer that would have the ability or capability of having unsupervised contact with a student, needs a background check or something in their file stating a background check has been completed by the school district to be compliant with the ND Century Code.

The Board also discussed to having training on NARCAN or Naloxone nasal spray administration for possible overdoses since this is a policy that was updated. The medication and training is generally provided free of charge through county health so training will be arranged.

Daren Christianson, school superintendent, gave his report and talked about how the school will participate in the upcoming 2020 Census. According to Christianson, on March 25 and

26, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the high school, computers and internet service will be provided for anyone who wants to come in and register for the 2020 census. This will be set-up during parent/teacher conferences.

The elementary principal’s report included a notification that third-quarter mid-quarter reports were mailed out to students on February 13. Langdon Area Elementary School completed a successful accreditation review on February 5 and 6. Students in grades three to six will take the North Dakota State Assessment in April.

The Board also discussed at length the possibility of having a revote on the building fund levy in June 2020 or waiting until October 2020. Several board members wanted to wait until October to see how well this year’s crops did. Other board members thought the Board should try to push to get the levy vote in June so that some of the projects could be started this year.

Several board members expressed concerns presented to them from local citizens that the Board asked for too many mills during the last election/vote. No decisions will be made until the building committee meets and presents at the next board meeting. The school board election date was set for June 9, 2020.

Open enrollment and home school letters of intent were accepted. Also, the resignation of fifth grade teacher, Rob Scherr, was accepted.

The Board then discussed the volunteer and spring coaches’ requirements and policies with Athletic Director Ethen Askvig.

The Board's final discussion was concerning key fobs. There were concerns that someone with a key fob was allowing other individuals to use it without being present. The building committee will discuss this at their next meeting and bring recommendations to the board concerning who can have access to fobs.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Join and grow the movement…

Even though winter likes to hang on into April, many of us were reminded last weekend in Mandan that spring is just around the corner.

The North Dakota Farmers Market & Growers Association held its annual convention in the Baymont in Mandan in conjunction with the North Dakota Grape & Wine Association Convention. Several years ago the farmers market folks gave up the traditional Saturday night banquet and went with the wine growers.

It adds a whole new dimension to growing grapes.

This convention is held late every winter, and it seems to coincide with a time when most of us are getting tired of being indoors. Attendance has been dropping off in recent years, and nobody seems to be able to figure out why. The one given is that we don’t have enough vendors in North Dakota for the amount of consumer demand that keeps increasing.

State ag department local foods person Jamie Good has really done a good job of lining up the right people to be keynote speakers, to sit on panel discussions, to mingle in the crowd, and sometimes a comedy act or two will show up.

Another big plus for this convention is the food. Several years ago the Sysco and Food Services of America template was shattered in favor of

having meals at these conventions with food the people attending actually grew. Believe it or not, there are a number of hotels in North Dakota that won’t allow that to happen.

It’s unfortunate, but for those that do, they are the hotels that are going to keep getting the business of this group because local foods are certainly popular at a local foods convention, that’s for sure.

One of the things that farmers market leadership sometimes seems to overlook is the visiting that goes on during the convention. Sure, there is a tight schedule to keep everybody occupied, but some attendees just like to visit with like-minded people to help them better understand themselves and what they are doing.

That camaraderie is important to a lot of people, and it shows, especially during those local foods meals because you’ll see a group of people at one table and the next time it’s a completely different group.

One gardener who attended is now 96 years old. He has been farming and gardening in Emmons County for as long as he can remember and remains active in farmers markets. He and his wife attend the Capital Farmers Market in Bismarck.

A family of Slovakian immigrants joined the association several years ago and attend the convention every year. They operate gardens and a cafe in Anamoose and like to do things in a traditional manner. They are the nicest people and make the best borscht you can imagine.

Sometimes the convention will get some real heavy hitters like Stuart

Tracy, the head chef at Pirogue Grille in downtown Bismarck. Tracy and his wife, Cheryl, operate this fivestar restaurant using local foods as much of the year as possible. Tracy, who has been a chef on ships and at vacation resorts, has a clever way of turning something as simple as a cucumber into a delicacy. And, he is kind enough to convey a lot of that information on to the attendees of the convention.

It really is a fantastic event, and anybody on the street should consider attending. Some people absolutely refuse to go, and those are usually the people who aren’t succeeding in the truck farming business.

There’s no question, farmers market vendors are needed all over the state of North Dakota. That becomes more evident every year because the consumer demand just keeps getting stronger.

Here are some examples of what I mean. One vendor sold 72 pounds of shell peas in a half hour at $6 a pound. Another sold $96 worth of garlic to a single customer for three consecutive weeks. Still another, was selling 50-pound bags of onions like they were going out of style. Oh, and I forgot to mention, these examples are from just one of the 56 member markets in North Dakota.

If you are retired, a college student, a high school FFA group or an individual who wants to earn some extra money, it would behoove you to take a closer look at this organization. You can do that by logging on to (www.ndfarmersmarkets.org). You’ll be glad you did.

By Melissa Anderson Making the rounds and always popular Facebook is a smorgasbord of randomness that is sometimes true but most of the time- false. It’s a great social media platform to mislead many someones as it is far easier and well within human nature to read the headline, agree, and share immediately before, if ever, reading said item.

One of the most popular posts that gets shared over and over and makes its rounds, especially when Congress or the President have dismal approval ratings, is the term limits for congressional members.

Currently, within the House of Representatives, there is some interesting legislation that does just that!

H. J. RES. 20 was submitted to the House Judiciary committee on January 3, 2019. It was a joint resolution put forward by a Republican proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a member of Congress may serve.

As we all learned in social studies, following the unprecedented running of Franklin Delano Roosevelt for a third term during World War II and his subsequent win, Congress put a kabash on any president serving more than two terms. The fact that a member of congress has put forward a similar forced retirement clause to be added to the Constitution is beyond bizarre- especially now, when the longest serving member of Congress currently in office is 36 year veteran of public service Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

I did my due diligence, however, and researched who was the longest uninterrupted member of Congress.

That honor goes to John Dingall, a Democrat from Michigan, who was sent repeatedly back to D.C. for 59 years before he finally retired from office.

So what is this joint resolution's propose? For starters, representatives that have served three terms as a representative are no longer eligible for election to the House of Representatives. On the Senate side, they get the presidential treatment and are limited to only two terms as a senator.

The clincher, to hopefully see the resolution pass, is that no term beginning before the date of the ratification of the resolution will be taken into account in determining eligibility for election or appointment according to the amendment guidelines. So, those in the club get to stay but have to start their countdown to leave office if they are reelected in the next election.

Will this resolution pass? Doubtful. American politics has shown that what many in these positions want is power. Power comes with time. Can’t get a whole lot of power if you have an expiration date.

Would be nice, though, and could potentially be a game changer should it be passed by Congress.

It’s been over a year since it was first introduced so its own deadline is approaching. If the Judiciary Committee doesn’t act on it...poof!

So the same battle cry will continue on in Facebook limbo, making its rounds and encouraging the grumblings of term limits for all elected officials.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor, Elsie Magnus, chair of the District 10 Democrats, implies that to be truly pro-life one must support providing government medical assistance to a greater segment of the population. While there is some correlation between abortion rates and low incomes, poverty is not the cause of high abortion rates. The “poorest of the poor” that Ms. Magnus refers to in the letter won’t benefit from any of the legislation she cites. That legislation offers benefits to those living on higher incomes than those who already qualified for benefits at 152% of the poverty level.

No matter what percentages we use however, the preborn child who is denied the right to life receives none of the benefits of this or any other program, including the inalienable rights our US Constitution proclaims and protects. “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are addressed in that order for obvious reasons. “Pro-life” is not turned off and on by the availability of government programs or a specific standard of living. It is a standard to live by, to protect life through every stage of development.

Showing compassion for and assisting the needy are commendable attributes, especially when funded privately. But you can be pro-life whether or not you have the means to share. Sadly, there is no help to offer the preborn child who has been denied his basic right to life.

I hope this helps answer Ms. Magnus’ question concerning what is truly pro-life.

Regards, Rep. Chuck Damschen ND House of Representatives, District 10 Letter to the Editor: DEMOCRATS INTRODUCE SUCCESSFUL PRO-LIFE LEGISLATION Recently Elsie Magnus (Chr. of District 10 Dem-NPL) wrote a letter to the editor regarding HB 1515, expanding Medicaid coverage to pregnant women near the poverty line. Elsie regarded the bill as a “pro-life” bill because it would discourage pregnant women from getting abortions by providing medical insurance to the unborn and the mother.

This bill was an orphan bill, meaning it had no sponsor in the legislature. Democrats in District 10 drove to Bismarck in search of someone to sponsor the bill. Our three Republican legislators (Monson, Damschen, and Myrdal) were asked to sponsor it. They refused.

We had to find a legislator to sponsor it so it could be voted on. Representative Mitskog, Democrat from the Wahpeton area, graciously agreed to be a co-sponsor.

The bill passed. Groups like the Catholic Bishops really got behind it along with others. And yes, our District 10 Republican legislators ended up voting for it. Approximately 500 pregnant women near the poverty line in North Dakota now have health care…a really big deal for saving babies and mothers.

Lin Thorson’s letter in last week’s newspapers was unduly critical of Elsie Magnus and Rep. Mitskog as not truly being pro-life.

Lin questions whether Representative Alisa Mitskog is a pro-life legislator because Mitskog did not vote for the “Abortion Pill Reversal” Informed Consent law (HB 1336).

HB 1336 relates to informed consent requirements before an abortion. Supporters of this bill claim that women 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. Rep. Mitskog and many others opposed this legislation because it is unproven, and many physicians vocally opposed this intrusion into the doctorpatient relationship. Perhaps she and others foresaw that this bill would end up being challenged in the Court—which it has been. The federal judge who blocked the bill states that, “the overwhelming majority of medical experts believe that “abortion reversal” is “experimental”, “dangerous”, and “unsupported by scientific evidence”. When we claim to be pro-life, we must also consider the life and health of the mother.

I assert that being pro-life is more than being only pro-birth. Families in tight financial situations need help, especially with necessities like health care. Lives are saved and improved by adequate health care.

HB 1515 has a modest price tag when compared to a lot of legislation. However, it makes quite a difference in the outcomes of the little ones and their mothers. Let’s give District 10 Democrats (especially Ben Tucker and Elsie Magnus) and Rep. Mitskog credit for their good work. Thanks to all who voted for passage of HB 1515, expansion of Medicaid to pregnant mothers near the poverty line. There is no question about the safety of this bill… safe for the unborn, their mothers, and it has been tested. It is pro-life.

Munich School hero squads collect donations for Pennies for Patients Schools across North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota are in the process of collecting donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and their ‘Pennies for Patients’ program. The Society’s goal is to educate the public about blood cancers and to continue to advance research to help save more lives.

The proceeds from ‘Pennies for Patients’ funds research and patient services like financial aid and family support groups.

Munich School formed Hero Squads for their participation in the ‘Pennies for Patients’ collection.

Individual squads were formed for the Pre-K, Kindergarten, First, Second, Third, Fourth, and FifthSixth. Grades 7-12 had their own collection with Mrs. McArthur taking the lead. The top fundraising squads were Mrs. Wood’s Pre-K and Mrs. Martin’s Fourth Graders.

Both squads will receive a bronze

pennant for collecting over $100.00.

Munich School’s collections totaled $645.80!

A special thank-you to Melaney Hertzell and Juvy Ryan at the Horizon Bank for their patience and cooperation in counting all the coins that were collected. The school appreciates all the help you have given them over the years that they have been participating in this program.

Mrs. Klein, Munich Elementary Principal, stated, “‘Pennies for Patients’ has allowed our students to be involved in a service project that actively engages 21st century skills, preparing our children to thrive in the world.”

A special thank-you goes out to all the students, parents, staff and Munich School patrons who have been so generous over the many years that Munich School has been participating in the ‘Pennies for Patients’ program!

A Saint’s Shout Out

By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School

Greetings from St. Alphonsus In a blink of an eye we are approaching the end of February. We are already halfway through our third quarter of the school year.

We had a very busy and successful Catholic Schools Week at the end of January. Thank you for all the support and great attendance at the spaghetti supper. This is a tradition that we will continue to do for many years to come. The students had a great week participating in team building activities, STEAM projects, baking, and so much more.

We enjoyed celebrating our wonderful school.

We are also excited to share that kindergarten registration is in full swing for the 2020-2021 school year.

I am happy to schedule a time for a school tour and to visit about all the great things St. Alphonsus School has to offer for your child and family. Contact me at the school at 2562354 to schedule a time to meet.

We also have two more spots open for our preschool program (3-year-old) for the afternoon sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you are interested in one of these spots, please contact me to fill out the registration form. We are so excited to be offering an afternoon preschool session next school year!

The morning preschool will go from 8:30-11:10 a.m. and then the afternoon session will be 12:30-3:10 p.m.

Our goal with the preschool program is to help students start the transition from home/day care into the school setting. We focus a lot of our learning on play and social in-

teractions. Students will be exposed to letters, numbers, shapes, colors and so much more. We focus a lot on the social aspect of school and learning to make friends.

Another great event coming up on Saturday, February 29 is our Heroes and Heels Dance. This dance is for mother, grandma, aunt, etc... to bring that special little superhero guy out for a dance and supper. It will be a fun and exciting night for all ages!

We would like to thank everyone that has purchased a Catholic United raffle ticket. We greatly appreciate all the support on this big fundraiser. The sales from this raffle stay 100% with our school. Our goal is to reach $9,000 in ticket sales! Tickets are available at the school office, or you can purchase some from our students and staff until Friday, February 28. If you are still in need of tickets, please let us know! Thank you for the continued support!

As March is quickly approaching, we are preparing for Reading Month! The students will have a “Super” month of reading activities coming up! We have lots of great reading challenges scheduled to push our students to their next level. We will be having more family reading time together along with at-home activities to strengthen the students' reading skills.

We are very proud of all our students at St. Alphonsus! Our students are working hard in all their subjects. We have lots of great projects being done and events occurring to help make our students as well round as possible. We are so thankful for our wonderful teachers and all the hard work they put in to help our students learn at and above their grade levels.

MathCounts was held February 13 in the Cavalier County Courthouse. The following were the individual winners: 1st place - McKenna Schneider from Langdon Middle School, 2nd place – Levi Woodrow from Munich School, 3rd place – Nicholas Kingzett from Munich School, and 4th Place – Shanna Gette from St. Alphonsus School.

A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, February 22, 2020, at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church in Towner for Lillian Louise Domres, 84, of Towner, who passed away February 13, 2020, at Edgewood Vista in Minot after a short battle with cancer. Burial will be in the spring at St. Cecilia’s Catholic Church Cemetery.

Lillian was born April 24, 1935 in Langdon, to Dick and Adela Washebek. She was raised and educated in Langdon where she graduated from St. Alphonsus Catholic School.

On January 17, 1957 in Grand Forks, she married the love of her life, William “Bill” Domres. They lived happily together for 58 years before Bill’s passing in 2014. They started their lives together in Grafton where Roger was born. They then moved to Cavalier where Kim was born. Around 1965 they decided to venture out and moved the family to Towner where they purchased one of many newspapers.

Not only was she a working partner in the newspaper business but followed her own entrepreneur spirit and decided to open a craft store in Towner. After running and growing that business she sold it and purchased the local clothing store that she ran for many years. She was very involved in her community where she was on City Council, the Business Development Council and the North Dakota Republican Party. In her later years when most were slowing down, she rallied her girlfriends and started the local Red Hat Ladies Society. They were not only very popular going out on luncheons or shopping trips to sur-

rounding communities, they also did many service projects to help support the community. Mom kept the Red Hat Ladies quite busy raising money to do those projects by making/selling donuts and publishing a variety of cookbooks selling them at any and every local event. One of their bigger projects for the community was building the beautiful gazebo park on Main Street in Towner. It was no small feat to gather the ladies and get everyone to contribute on these projects, even when they didn’t want to contribute. Mom and her van were known as the Towner Taxi Service picking everyone up and getting them from one place to another. She will always be remembered for her kindness to others, love for her family, hard work, smile, baking cookies for everyone and energy that lit up the world.

She is survived by her son, Roger (Sherry), Bismarck; daughter, Kim (Mike) Schulz, Mound, Minn.; grandchildren, Rilie (Nicci) Domres, Minot; Ryan Domres, Fargo; Luke Domres, Bismarck; Amanda (Jake) Seys, Watertown, Minn.; Jeremy (Abby) Schulz, Mound, Minn.; great-grandchildren, Masen and Dru Domres, Minot; Mila Seys, Watertown, Minn.; sister, Irene Etterman, Red Lake Falls, Minn..

Also, Karolynn Winger, Minot who Grandma also thought of as another granddaughter.

She is proceeded in death by her husband, Bill Domres; parents, Dick and Adella Washebek; brothers, Vic Washebek, Raymond Washebek, Don Washebek and Leo Washebek and sister, Helen Hoffman.

Devotions by community pastors

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

Deliver the Blessing A friend had dropped off a fivegallon pail filled with garden-fresh potatoes. All he asked was that I return the pail. I was happy to oblige.

My friend’s request made all the sense in the world. While the bountiful potato harvest enabled him to bless family and friends, there was a critical need for a way to deliver the blessing.

1 John 4:12 reads, “No one has ever seen God: if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” After declaring God’s love for us, John calls us to love each other. Not wanting to be misunderstood, the Apostle identifies the love he talks about.

In verses 7 and 8, he’s already said the love we have for each other has its origin in God. To write that “love is from God” is to state that God is the source of this love. John underscores the message in the next verses where we read, “God is love.” Love is characteristic of all that God is. It is His nature.

Reading ahead to verses 9 and 10 sets us on the stage where God demonstrates His love, “In this the love of God was made [unmistakably obvious] among us, that God sent his

only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.” This is the message of John 3:16 -- God, in love for us, sending Jesus to be our Savior from sin and its consequences.

Verse 11 offers a transition from our privilege to our responsibility.

Again, John writes, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” Considering what God has done in His love for us, we’re compelled to love each other.

Jesus taught that His followers love for each other would testify to their being His disciples (John 13:35).

This real-life true love identifies Christians and gives evidence to the power of the Gospel. The message of Jesus is true. He has changed our lives. God loves us.

We love God. And now we love each other.

John said that “if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” (1 John 4:12). God’s perfect plan for His perfect love is that imperfect people would love each other as they have come to know God’s love for them. In that, God’s love is perfected -- God’s love has its full effect.

Langdon’s blood drive brings in 44 volunteers Langdon community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on February 11 at St Alphonsus Church which helped collect a total of 53 units of blood products for patients in need.

A total of 44 individuals volunteered to donate blood and 40 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on February 11. A total of 11 donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. There were two people who volunteered for the first time.

Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Dennis Horpestad, who coordinated the drive, and Langdon Knights of Columbus which sponsored the blood drive, as well as Dean Agnes and Darrell Kempel, who both assisted the day of the drive.

Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region.

Donations from O-negative donors,

the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases.

Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met.

About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant.

Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donor rewards program.

Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments.

Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org

North Dakota District 10 Democrat-NPL Party held their convention on Saturday, February 8 in Cavalier. It was well attended by District democrats as they hosted Democratic State Party Chair Kylie Oversen, District 25 Representative Alisa Mitskog, and Zack Raknerud who recently announced his campaign for US House. Besides regular business conducted during the District convention, the big question asked by District 10 Dem-NPL Chair Elsie Magnus had to do with fielding candidates for the 2020 election and identifying delegates

to the State convention.

“Folks, we are getting down to the wire. Who would you get behind and support,” Magnus asked the audience.

Keynote speaker Mitskog provided insight into how District 10 can bring democrats on board to support the 2020 representatives running for office. Oversen added her thoughts on the 2020 election cycle. Raknerud was given an opportunity to seek support for his run for nomination from the State Party in a run for the US House.

Community Walter Gronhovd

A funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, February 24, 2020, at Nekoma Lutheran Church in Nekoma for Walter Gronhovd, 95, of rural Nekoma, who passed away February 18, 2020, at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital in Langdon. Burial will be in the spring at Highland Cemetery.

Walter was born May 7, 1924, in Grand Forks. He was the oldest of six children born to Edwin and Helmina (Hendrickson) Gronhovd.

His values and work ethic were formed growing up in the early 30’s. He graduated from Nekoma High School in 1942 and then attended North Dakota Agricultural College in Fargo before enlisting in the US Navy where he was a pilot during World War II. On June 11, 1947, he married Lorene Boemer

Monday, February 24, 2020 – Page 7

Obituaries from Beeville, TX. When the war ended, he was given the option of leaving the service. Upon doing so, Walter purchased his current farm in Osnabrock Township. He raised Polled Herefords until the late 70’s. His most enjoyable times were the hours he spent sitting in the tractor getting the crop planted and sitting in the combine getting the crop harvested. He finally had to retire from the tractor in 2017 when his heart problems started.

He suffered through back and leg problems the last 60 years, but they never slowed him down. He loved to hunt, fish, and travel to see the world. His favorite trips were those he took with Lorene. Had she lived longer, he would have revisited Alaska (his favorite trip). His only regret was he never had the chance to set foot on Antarctica, the only continent he didn’t visit. His travels finally ended when his back made it too difficult to walk. His closest friendships were formed with his

high school classmates, the Cavalier County Livestock Association, and members of the church parish. His final gift to Duane was his 13 month old black German Shepherd named Buddy. Buddy will keep Duane and his friends busy for years to come.

He was never happier than the days before his passing when he knew he was finally going home.

Surviving Walter are his sons: Duane Gronhovd of Nekoma and Jim (Sue) Gronhovd of Puyallup, Wash.; grandchildren: Kristin Madsen and Mark (Nikko) Gronhovd, both of Bothell, Wash.; and greatgrandchildren: Brady Madsen, Delaney Madsen, and Parker Gronhovd. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lorene, and his daughter, Linda.

Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon is in charge of arrangements.

Ronningen scores 2,000th career point in championship game

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team went into the 2020 District 8 Tournament, held in Rolla February 14-17, as the number one seed. The unbeaten, second-ranked Cardinals won two games in the tourney to secure their third straight District 8 Tourney title. The Lady Cards had a bye in the opening round then beat North Star 66-23 in the semifinals and crushed Dunseith 74-26 in the championship game. The Cardinals are now 21-0 on the season and will play in the Region 4 Tournament in Devils Lake February 24-27. The district tournament saw crazy things happen, from Callie Ronningen scoring the 2,000th point of her career to Morgan Freije having an emergency appendectomy after the championship game (the surgery went well, and she's going to be fine). I'll have much more on these two subjects in this week's 'Jake's Take on Sports' column. All five Cardinal starters made the All-District 8 team -- Ronningen, Freije, Kaitlynn Scherr, Lexi Olson and Kaylee Lowery. Ronningen also was named District 8 Senior Athlete of the Year, and Rob Scherr was named District 8 Coach of the Year. Here is a recap of the Lady Cards two games at the district tourney: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 66, North Star 23 Defense has been the name of the game all year for the Cardinals, and it certainly was in their game with the Bearcats. LangdonEdmore-Munich stormed out to a 25-5 lead in the first quarter, with 10 points and two 3-pointers from Callie Ronningen plus seven more and a three by Kaitlynn Scherr. Sophomore Marlee Hetletved had one of her best games of the season, coming off the bench to score 10 points with two baskets from long range.

The Cardinals held North Star's leading scorer, Danielle Hagler, to just four points, all from the free throw line, and well below her 17 points per game average.

Overall the Cards hit nine 3s for the game, shooting 10 of 20 from beyond the arc, while 12 of the Bearcats points game from the charity stripe.

Ronningen had a game high 14 points, followed by Scherr with 13 and Morgan Freije with 11. On defense, Freije guarded Hagler most

Defensively the Lady Cards were rock solid once again, holding the leading scorer in District 8, Dragons sophomore Rozalind Strong, to just 11 points with six of those coming in the second half when the game was well in hand.

Ronningen scored her first point of the game from the free throw line, and it was a special one, the 2,000th of her great career. She also made her last district tournament game a special one with a double-double on 13 points and 10 assists. Freije had a game high 23 points and eight rebounds, while Kaitlynn Scherr had 10 points and seven steals.

Cards boys close out regular season on a six game winning streak "Big Shot Blaine" Perry hits a late 3-pointer to beat #3 St. John

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals had two games to close out their regular season schedule, at home versus third ranked St. John on Feb. 13, then on the road in Binford taking on Midkota on Feb. 18. The Cardinals had a great come back win over the Woodchucks 5149, with senior Blaine Perry knocking down a 3-pointer with two seconds left. The Cards then rolled over the Mustangs 96-48. With the wins the Cardinals end their regular season with a 15-4 record, and they now head to the postseason as the number one seed in District 8 Boys Basketball Tournament, to be held in Dunseith Feb. 28-March 2. The Cards will have a bye in the first round, and will play either North Star or Rolla in a semifinal game at 5:00pm on Feb. 29. Here is a recap of their last two games of the regular season: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 51, St. John 49 The Cardinals game with the Woodchucks would turn out to be an epic one. St. John outscored the Cards 17-8 in the second quarter, and would later stretch that lead to 12 at 31-19 early in the third before Langdon-Edmore-Munich began their comeback.

Jackson Delvo had seven points in a 14-5 run that got them to within 36-33 before St. John's Michael Dunn had two big shots to push the lead to 41-33 going into the final frame.

Simon Romfo came up big with seven fourth quarter points, as the Cardinals got their first of the game at 48-47 late in the fourth. Woodchucks senior Adam Jollie would hit a big basket with just under 10 seconds left to give St. John the lead at 49-47 and set up a fantastic fin-

Perry nailed the three point shot, and the Woodchucks were out of time outs so they could not stop the clock and the game ended. Perry also a deep three earlier in the fourth that help bring his team back.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich went a remarkable 14 for 15 from the free throw line for the game, and Simon Romfo led the team with 16 points, followed by Delvo with 13. Simon also had nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in the contest.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Morgan Freije refines the term "Playing with Pain" as part of wild District 8 Tournament for the Lady Cards We begin this week by congratulating the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals girls basketball team on winning the District 8 Girls Basketball Tournament held in Rolla Feb. 14-17. The Lady Cards had to great games to win the title, eventually beating Dunseith in the title game 74-26 (!). But that's not the whole story, by far. The crazy run began with Cardinals coach Rob Scheer coming down with the flu and 102 temperature on Feb. 15 when the Cards played North Star in the semifinals. He was unable to make the game, so the reins of the team were turned over to assistant coach Harley Brown, who found out he was the head coach for the night when Scheer announced it on Coaches Corner that he wouldn't make the trip. Then on Championship Night, Cardinals senior Callie Ronningen scored her 2,000th career point on a free throw early in the game. What a year it has been for Callie, who went over 2,000 kills and 2,000 digs in her senior volleyball season. And the wildest

story came after the championship game, when Cardinals sophomore Morgan Freije was having stomach pains the whole contest, only to find out later that she needed an emergency appendectomy! We are happy to say that the surgery went well, and that Morgan is feeling better and hopes to play on Feb. 24 when the Cards play in the opening round of the Region 4 Tournament in Devils Lake versus New Rockford-Sheyenne. The Lady Cards are three wins away from making their third straight State B Tournament, which is coming up in Grand Forks March 5-7. We wish them the best of luck.

Cardinals boys wins a wild game over St. John to get the top seed for the District 8 Tourney The Cardinals girls basketball team is undefeated at 21-0 going into their region tourney, and the Cards boys have had a great year as well. They are 15-4 on the year, and are riding a six game winning streak into the District 8 Tournament, to be held in Dunseith Feb. 28-March 2. They are the top seed in the tourney, and will play either North Star in Rolla in the semifinals at 5:00pm on Feb. 29, after getting a bye in the opening round. To get the top seed, the Cards had to beat St. John on Feb. 13, which they did coming back from 12 points down in the second half. Blaine Perry,

who had the nickname "Blaino Draino" throughout his career, had two huge 3-point baskets in the win over the Woodchucks, including the game winner with two seconds left.

After much deliberation, we are going to go with a new nickname, "Big Shot Blaine". It has a nice ring to it, and the Munich senior certainly deserves the recognition. Good luck to Cards in the upcoming postseason.

Summer Baseball sign up coming March 4 We will remind you next week as well, but the signup for summer baseball and softball is coming up March 4 at the Langdon American Legion Hall. It will run from 5-7pm, and it's for summer T-Ball, Pee Wee, Little League, Babe Ruth and American Legion baseball and girls softball. There are new sheriffs in town the Langdon Area Baseball Board as myself, Daryl Kempel, Jacy Bata and Jay Adam all retired from the board, replaced by new president Darin Romfo, Mark Romfo, Zack Schaefer and Nancy Feil. Please get your child registered on March 4, as they do this early to figure out how many teams are needed, plus equipment and coaches.

Please attend the fundraiser for Dave Zeis Jr. Feb 28 at Langdon Eagles Club, and "See ya!" next week!

Blades girls drop two league games to Bottineau, Fargo

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

Coming off a weekend where they went 3-1 at a league jamboree in Mandan which saw senior forward Regan Hoffarth net her first career hat trick, the Langdon Blades girls hockey team played two league games the weekend of February 15-16. They suffered a tough overtime loss at Bottineau 5-4 on February 15 then were shut out by league leading Fargo 7-0 at home on February 16. After the weekend Langdon now has a league record of 7-7-1, which puts them in sixth place in the standings. The Blades will close out their regular season at Fargo on February 22 then at Wahpeton on February 23.

In their last two games the Blades played their hearts out at Bottineau. Langdon got on the board first, as Hoffarth continued

her hot shooting, scoring a goal assisted by Abby Forest. After Bottineau grabbed a 2-1 lead in the second, Alexa Schneider would tie the game with an unassisted score. The teams would trade goals from there, unfortunately, with Bottineau getting the last one in overtime. The Blades got a goal from Lizzie Muhs on the second assist by Forest and another from Schneider, but they came up just short of getting the win. Langdon goalie Jaelyn Buckman had 30 saves, and Bottineau outshot the Blades 35-26.

Playing Fargo the next morning at Dakota Spirit Arena, the Blades stayed with the team who has been at the top of the league for several years. Langdon played the Freeze tough for two periods, trailing just 3-0 before Fargo scored four more goals. Buckman had 48 saves for the Blades, and Fargo outshot Langdon 55-23.

Blades boys win 1 of 3 in latest hockey road trip

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Blades junior gold hockey team took to the road once again the weekend of February 14-16, playing three league games at Grand Forks, Fargo and Northwood. The Blades lost to the Stallions 5-4, were defeated by the Freeze 6-4 before beating winless Northwood 7-1. After the weekend, Langdon's record is now 10-8 in leagues games, which puts them in fourth place in the league standings. The Blades will play their final home game February 22 versus the Fargo 16U team then will travel to play the same squad on February 23.

In the opener of their three game trip, the Blades were down 1-0 at Grand Forks when their hottest goal scorer of late, Cooper Zimmer, put in a shot to tie the game on assists from Sid and Peyton Ullyott. The Stallions scored again only to see Langdon tie again on a goal from Danny Muhs on assists again from the Ullyotts. The Blades would answer another Stallions goal in the third as Zimmer found the net again on assists from Peyton Ullyott and Brady Regner. But Grand Forks would score two crucial goals down the stretch to win the game.

Peyton scored with just less than 90

seconds left to make things interesting on assists from Zimmer and Sid Ullyott. Shot and save totals were not available.

The next day against Fargo, the Blades would get the first lead of the game on a score from Peyton Ullyott, assisted by Sid Ullyott.

Trailing 2-1 late in the first period, the Blades tied the game exactly the opposite way with Sid scoring, assisted by Peyton. Sid Ullyott would get another goal in the third period as would Zimmer, but Fargo would score two late goals in the second period, one with just one second left, then two more in the third to get the win. Blades goalie Logan Harder had 26 saves, and Fargo outshot Langdon 32-28 for the game.

In their final game of the weekend at Northwood, the Blades would break up a scoreless tie in the second period with five unanswered goals, four of which were scored by Sid Ullyott, the other by Peyton Ullyott. Peyton had two assists in the scoring run plus one each by Zimmer, Muhs and Tanner Olson. Michael Kartes and Peyton Ullyott also got insurance goals in the third period with Sid Ullyott getting two assists and Olson picking up one. Harder had 36 saves in this one, and Langdon outshot Northwood 42-37.

This newborn calving is resting on fresh straw bedding. (NDSU photo) Planning can minimize calf losses and improve calves’ performance.

Planning and preparing for the calving season can help not only minimize calf losses but also improve calves’ performance, according to North Dakota State University Extension livestock specialists.

The nutrition status of the calving herd is one issue to consider in preparing for the upcoming spring calving season.

“Although this should be an earlier concern, throughout the last trimester of the gestation, it is still possible to split the calving herd according to the body condition of the females,” says Yuri Montanholi, Extension beef cattle specialist.

“Females calving with poor body condition (lower than 4) may experience difficulty birthing calves, and they may produce lower colostrum quality, which may impact rebreeding,” he notes. “In addition, calves may have low vigor that may delay nursing. Thus, a tiered nutritional

Cavalier County Republican

NDSU Extension Notes

management system may improve calf viability and reproductive ability.”

Preparation of the calving facilities is another key issue for successful calving.

“For producers who have their females in outdoor calving areas, it is important to ensure that portions of the area have protection from the wind,” advises Karl Hoppe, Extension livestock systems specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center. “Producers should be concerned with potential extreme weather conditions that could cause frostbite in newborn calves.”

Producers who calve in the barn or uncovered pens must inspect and repair gates, pens, water supply, feeders, alleys and head catches.

Barn or pen calving demands a substantial amount of straw for bedding. That’s usually 5 to 7 pounds per cow per day for adequate bedding. Continuously adding bedding is important to keep the calves clean and dry, which helps minimize issues with infections and impacts overall health.

Producers also should have an adequate stock of calving supplies, including plastic sleeves, lube, obstetrical chains or straps, calf-feeding bottles, halters and ropes.

“For those who have a calf puller, make sure it is clean and working properly,” Extension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist Gerald Stokka recommends.

Producers need to have an adequate supply of colostrum or colostrum replacements as well.

“In situations where the quantity of colostrum is a concern, a colos-

trum bank or replacers should be used,” Stokka says.

“Due to the practical limitations of harvesting colostrum in beef cows, colostrum replacer can be a good option,” he adds. “Colostrum replacements and supplements are available for purchase. The replacements are much preferred as they contain significantly higher amounts of immunity than do the supplements.”

Calves that nurse a limited amount or experience reduced absorption of passive immunity in colostrum are at a greater risk of illness and/or death.

Producers also should be prepared for problems during calving.

Experienced producers may be able to correct abnormal calf presentations and assist the females during calf delivery. However, producers should be aware of their limitations and know when they should call their veterinarian to ensure the delivery and well-being of the cow and calf, Hoppe says.

“An uneventful crop of calves is something cow-calf producers are aiming for after a long winter season,” Montanholi says. “Having a plan and preparing for the calving season will help result in a successful calving season.”

Brush with the Bunch

I have to take a step back from my new series “The Brush Bunch at Work“ as we have several “Artists of the Month“ missing, Montana.

The artists are not missing - I just forgot to do an article on who was selected for the special area where they would have displayed their art, craft or photography. My bad. We switch every four months. Mary Ellen chose to display her quilts that she made for her granddaughters. Two granddaughters, to date, and three quilts?? It must have been a case of wishful thinking as another grandchild is due this summer.

The theme for the quilts come from a book by Eric Charles “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.“ Mary Ellen says her love for quilting comes from her mother. Thanks, Mary Ellen, for the display, the information and introducing us to Patty McMillian a prospective new member. We are busy painting and other crafts as May is just around the corner for Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale #49 “Country Memories“. Big 50 next year - should be exciting! Our quiz for the week is: Which state is the birthplace of the ice cream cone? Enjoy life and God Bless.

Monday, February 24, 2020 – Page 13

Langdon Long Ago

Sandwiching columns between holidays, dropping temperatures, tournament games and ever-present snowfalls has made this a difficult winter for research so special thanks to friends who suggest subjects and sometimes give added details.

Frank Jennings, who in the past has tried to visit with as many as possible at the Cavalier County Picnic in Mesa, sent a short resume` again this year with a note that they had not announced a total number of those attending but possibly a few less than previous years. He mentioned Shirley Mukomela Lazarz, a long ago neighbor of mine, had driven 50 miles earlier that day through Phoenix traffic to attend the picnic with her sister, Lois, and family members. Shirley is a 1946 graduate of Langdon High School and has been attending the annual picnic for many years. Frank’s message included the news that Elaine Bohn Machacek announced this was the 30th year of the picnic in its present format. Charlie Rohde was, again, the master of ceremonies and this year brought along a friend of many years who entertained the crowd with songs and stories of most of the towns in Cavalier County. This friend happened to be Crazy Fingers Gordie Lindquist from Max, ND, who has never lived in Cavalier County, but local residents will remember hearing him perform at other events in our area. Many of those in attendance have been attending not only for the last 30 years but possibly their parents attended a similar gathering even longer ago. Relatives mentioned the location as so close to their court they could walk to it and maybe did.

Local basketball is heating up with the LEM Lady Cardinals winning the district tournament this week. Yes, I did stay awake for all seven tournament games available by radio. It was a great reminder of the years of watching or listening to other tournaments. As a child (before television or internet) we would strain our ears to make out the game coming from far away stations like Bismarck or Minot, and there is a vague memory of cheering for Elbowoods who had a terrific team but we considered the underdog in tournament history. In my memory those games were before their

homes were flooded into oblivion under Lake Sakakawea. Years later there were special memories of watching tournament games with Arvid and Nina Berggren who lived “across the alley”. The invitation to spend game time with them was always open, and if I was not there for the pre-game portion, they would call and ask what was wrong. I would grab whatever project I was working on and no matter how deep the snow would arrive at their back door. Like others in our neighborhood, most of us did not open front doors until spring. As the teams were announced, Arvid and I would mentally choose the player of the game before the game began and sometimes write them down. Nina would bustle around making popcorn. If you have a guest, you must serve lunch. This backfired when some of us could not eat popcorn due to digestive problems. She still made popcorn, but she added creative touches which were also very tasty. With two games most evenings, sometimes watchers did doze off, but we came to life to see half-court baskets or those miraculous tie-breakers.

When the players of the game were announced, Arvid and I usually agreed on the choices, and the trick was to have the sportscasters agree with us.

Reading issues of the Hoopster and Miss Hoopster as research this year gave me insights I might not have had earlier.

The publications were begun 38 years ago by the late Don Hanson who also coached at Mandan and may have had either a mathematical or statistical mind.

He recorded points, rebounds, assists, outstanding single games, plus heights of the players and many other details. In the first years of his books he had news stories about the winning teams in class A and B with celebration pictures. Runners up might or might not be mentioned at all. However, in the last few years someone compiled listings of both girls and boys tournaments naming the two top teams and the scores of the championship games played each year. Now found in the back of some Hoopster publications, this listing changes as older scores surface or are contributed. The 2019-2020 listing goes back to 1914 for the boys in Class A with towns like Egeland and others represented. No, the smaller towns were never in the same size category as teams from the cities, but some teams could “challenge in” and play against top teams. Sometimes the challengers won.

Class B, in general, seems to have begun in the 1930s. Girls were not sanctioned for many Class B schools until after

1974, but I did notice Clyde and Fairdale listed as winning before that time and remember writing about a special Loma team from the late 1930s or early 1940s.

On the Class B girls listing there are some missing years including no lists between 1960 and 1974 which might mean no teams or no records kept by Class B schools.

Watching with the Berggrens had the added advantage of their own basketball experience. Nina Berggren had played on a girl’s team in high school when they used the six-girls on the floor format. Arvid had played for Nekoma when they were part of the consolidated schools and had not yet adopted their green and white colors or the Trojan name. Nekoma has had some outstanding players down through the years, but their centennial book does not list them playing on the state level.

Every so often I could remember an overtime game during the televised tournaments and that possibility could arise in the days ahead of us. The scores only from championship games do list a small percentage of final games that had gone into overtime. However, I did find two entertaining stories of overtime basketball games in the collection of interviews published recently by Jim Puppe, originally from Hensel and now living in Fargo.

Puppe’s book is titled “Dakota Attitudes” and contains 617 interviews with North Dakota residents who may currently live in “every town in North Dakota” or can claim to have lived there in the past. While the book is not about basketball, the fact that basketball has long been a favorite sport in North Dakota is mentioned in interviews with players, coaches and spectators. This book is arranged in alphabetical order by county with the individual interviews in random order and date. Two of the stories which stood out had to do with overtime basketball games, and I have forgotten the towns where these games were held, but the stories are delightful. In one game they had played through two overtimes, and the crowd was getting restless. The dilemma was solved when a neutral person (maybe a tired referee) flipped a coin.

The second story was about a low scoring game with six overtimes and people who remembered it as the game that seemed to go on and on forever.

“Dakota Attitudes” is a book published before Christmas which had a limited printing so before the holiday arrived, the books were sold out and a second printing ordered for January 2020. Not expecting this reaction, the book was handled by the NDSU bookstore which meant you would not find it on the shelves of stores closer to home. The Cavalier County Library

ordered it and received a copy of the second printing which I have been reading as part of the Reading Bingo this winter.

Each of the individual interviews is one page long with a picture of the person or couple interviewed at the top of the page.

Cavalier County is well represented by people most of us know well, and you might find a relative or old friend hidden in the pages of the book.

The interviews were done between 2004 and 2018 so some of the people represented are no longer with us. Families will be delighted to know that their stories have been preserved complete with advice for grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. After reading some of the stories I wanted to purchase a copy of the book as a gift. There was no address or phone number on the publicity. Friends suggested all you need to do is call the NDSU Bookstore. Easier to say than to do. It took me a while to find the address and the phone number, but with two printings or more in the works copies are or might soon be available. Some have asked about funds raised by this project, and while I found nothing specified in the book itself, the author has spent a number of years working in veteran's services and an interview on the radio mentioned the book proceeds would be used for veterans and their families.

On February 11, the Munich School Board conducted a 3-5 year planning meeting as required by North Dakota Century Code 15.107-26. This planning meeting is required to evaluate how changing demographics in Munich Public School will affect academic and extracurricular programming, instructional and administrative staffing, facility needs and utilization and district tax levies over the next 5 years.

From data presented by Superintendent Bubach, it was determined that Munich’s K-12 enrollment is currently at 91 students. In five years, (by the 2024-2025 school year) the projected enrollment is 80 students in grades K-12. In the 2010-2011 school year, the Munich District had a K-12 enrollment of 83 students. The staffing then is similar to the staffing which currently exists, therefore, there is not a need to change staffing at Munich Public

Schools. Most of Munich schools extracurricular activities are cooped with the Langdon Area District; there are no plans to change Munich’s participation in those activities.

District tax reports from the North Dakota Department of Public Instructions’ web page shows that, of 31 schools ranging in K-12 enrollments from 22-148 students, Munich had the ninth lowest total mill levy, with the levy for General Education being 60.68 mills. A maximum of 70 mills are allowed by state law for General Education.

The positive conclusions of the planning meeting were that: 1) Munich School District is in good financial shape; 2) Although enrollment is declining, there are school districts with much lower student populations still operating; and 3) Munich Public School will continue to educate students for many years to come.

Areas of concern and challenges which were identified: 1) There are declining enrollments which will lead to the challenges of both utilizing staff to the fullest extent possible and utilizing the building facility to the fullest extent possible; and 2) Beyond five years Munich Pubic School will still be educating students, however, if elementary students continue to decline, this may lead to a reduction of staff in the future.

A full copy of the report can be obtained at Munich Public School.

If any members of the community have further questions or input, please feel free to contact Mr. Bubach at (701)682-5321 Robert Bubach Superintendent/HS Principal Munich Public Schools F24 _______________________________

February 4, 2020 On February 4, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Rick Rostvet, Roadman, met with the commissioners and stated he did not feel the new timekeeping sheets were going to work. Rostvet suggested going back to a blank calendar or using the spreadsheet in Excel, which would require a computer. Various options were discussed and later in the meeting Greg Goodman decided he would try to work with the timekeeping file get some formulas entered. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, stated he would be willing to help enter the time in Excel once the file is set up to do so. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and reviewed the project update list from KLJ. The agreement with ND DOT for future bridges in sections was discussed.

Johnston explained that Federal Highway requires the bridges to be inspected every two years, with the county paying 19.07% of the cost and the balance being paid from the county’s federal bridge funding. Johnston stated it might be beneficial to remove bridges that are no longer in use so the county isn’t paying to have them inspected.

It was estimated that the bridge inspections will cost approximately $16,000 under the new agreement.

David Zeis made a motion to approve the ND DOT Bridge Inspection Agreement with the county paying 19.07% of the inspection costs, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Johnston informed the commissioners that the Prairie Dog funding could start coming as soon as the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021. There was discussion on bidding projects in preparation for the funding. Discussion followed on using the gravel reclaimer on the gravel roads this spring. It was decided to have Shawn Amundson run it if the roadmen are busy blad-

ing. The commissioners asked Johnston to organize a date in April for the roadmen to get together to share ideas and decide the priority list for the reclaimer. An abandoned bridge in Section 13 of Dresden Township was discussed. It was decided that the Water Board would have to be approached, as it was on Mulberry Creek Drain. Josh Short, Weed Officer, met with the commissioners for a department update. The commissioners discussed spraying brush/trees in county road ditches. The commissioners stated they would be in contact with Short to make sure the areas are maintained with chemical after removal. Chris South, CCMH Ambulance, visited with the commissioners regarding a plan for leading the ambulance in inclement weather. The commissioners assured South that while they do not have a speed plow truck in the Langdon District, they would be able to send a motor grader out ahead of the ambulance and work on getting a truck sent from another district. A list of contact numbers would be supplied to the Sheriff’s Department for dispatch. The commissioners also explained that they are in the process of trying out tracking devices for the trucks and motor graders, which would also help in knowing exactly where the equipment is when the emergency arises.

It was suggested that if the system works well, the possibility of adding it to the Sheriff vehicles and ambulances could be considered. Bill Hardy met with the commissioners regarding the Forest Stewardship program. Hardy expressed his desire to see the program continue.

The commissioners explained that the tax of 50¢ per acre being paid for land in the program is outdated and becomes a burden on the other taxpayers, and that this amount cannot be increased without somebody taking it to the legislature. Other options were discussed such as the county ending the program and having local control for the value of the trees; or trying to get the ND Forestry to budget for the difference in tax revenue. Hardy stated he would get in contact with Larry Kotchman, the former ND State Forester and get his suggestion for approaching the legislature. The commissioners discussed the letter from USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service regarding the need for rehabilitation of the following dams: Senator Young Dam,

Cavalier County Republican

Langdon Area Skating Club's annual skate show set for Feb. 28-29 The Langdon Area Skating Club (LASC) will be lacing up their skates for their annual show on Friday evening, February 28, at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, February 29, at 10:00 a.m.

The skaters will showcase their hard work over the past season on the Dakota Spirit Arena ice.

The LASC, which began in 1997, is a basic skills program and free skate program under the guidelines of US Figure Skating.

“The club changed the name to Langdon Area Skate Club a couple years ago because it isn’t a figure skating association anymore. We are now under the Learn to Skate programs,” board member Bobbi Hayes said.

The Basic Skills Program is a compilation of skills that every athlete who has a recreational interest or who competes on the ice should learn and master.

The age range is from 3 years old to 15 years old. Skaters must turn 3 by the end of that year.

Starting October 21, 2019, this year’s season was 19 weeks long including practices, testings, show times, and the end of the year party. Generally, registration takes place in October so the coaches have enough time to place kids in the groups they need to be in and to get practice times figured out. The first practice is then typically on the first Monday in November. Testing is done during the last couple practices and is also based off the previous skate shows. Testing moves the skaters through levels of figure skating.

“We encourage boys and girls – even hockey players - to join the basic skills program to learn the basics of skating. For a few years we have had the hockey skills levels and that has been a nice program for the hockey players to learn the fundamentals for the hockey part of skating. We are going on two years of our speed skate program, and that has also been a nice program for the hockey players to take part in after they have

tested out of the hockey skills program. Each year our coach, Paige Gellner, changes things up to keep the program thriving for the skaters. We have skaters still in the program that have tested out and want to continue their development of their hockey skating. We are hoping to improve our hockey numbers in the years to come.

We have increased our numbers from 78 skaters to 82 this year with 61 skaters participating in the show,” Hayes said.

The club hosts a skate show for friends and family of their club members so that they can show off all the newly learned skills and skating maneuvers.

It is a fun time had by all and a little reward for the skaters for doing incredibly well throughout the season! The theme for this year’s skating show is Colors of America.

“We have a wide variety of songs. Yankee Doodle, Party in the USA, Born in the USA and Only in America are a few songs this year,” Hayes shared.

There are 19 routines this year averaging a little over a minute in length each.

Guest skaters for this year’s show will be a past assistant coach, Jenny Schrader; a past club member, Nicole Berg; and assistant coach Autumn Howatt.

Gellner is the daughter of Darren and Lisa Gellner. She graduated from Langdon Area High School in 2015. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and a minor degree in Accounting from the University of Minnesota Crookston.

Gellner is currently employed at Choice Bank in Langdon where she is a client services supervisor. Gellner started with the Langdon Skating Club in 2002. After passing her levels in Langdon, she went on to compete through Devils Lake and Jamestown skating clubs for five years. While competing she passed Pre-Preliminary Free Skate, Pre-Preliminary Moves

Autumn Howatt, daughter of Van and Lisa Howatt. A few of the freeskaters: Graci Witzel, Kiera Lien, and Sophia Nuelle have always been willing to help out after lessons with the younger groups as well.

“We are very fortunate and thankful to have them as well,” Hayes stated,” The younger kids look up to the freeskate girls, so they learn a lot from them.”

in the Field, and Preliminary Moves in the Field. After competing she joined the Langdon Girls Hockey Team. Gellner was an assistant coach to Andrea Moser for 6 years. This is her third year as head coach.

“Watching how much all the skaters can excel in their skating throughout just one season is one of the best parts of coaching. My first year as being head coach was great, and I look forward to the years to come,” shared Gellner.

Assistant coach this year was

Thank you to the rest of the club’s board members – Lisa Howatt, Megan and Travis Hakanson, Sarah and Chris Pritchard for all the help and time they have put into the club this year. The LASC wants to send out a huge thank you to all the businesses and families that have donated to the club.

“Without all the donations and time, we wouldn’t be able to make this a non-profit organization! You all will be recognized in our program,” Hayes said.

Veterans, Need a Ride?

Free Veteran Transportation

There are a lot of ways to recognize your skater or encourage involvement in LASC. The LASC has figure skating sweatshirts, jackets, hats, mitts, and scarves for purchase at Sports and Shirts which can also be personalized. Please call to 701256-4200 to order one. Want to get a gift for the skater in your life at the show? No worries, the LASC has that covered as well with no hassle involved.

“Our club will be having Langdon Floral come into the Dakota Spirit Arena during show times to sell flowers and gifts for your special skater,” Hayes said. Those interested are advised to pre-order their gift by calling Langdon Floral at 701-256-2200. Some special items are limited quantity.

This year, with donations, the club was able to purchase t-shirts for the skate club members. At the shows, the club parents will also be making cotton candy and selling window decals for a fundraiser.

“Thank you to Mark and Shauna Schneider for the use of the cotton candy machine, also thank you to Shauna and Leon Pederson for announcing as they do an amazing job!” stated Hayes.

Autumn Howatt is singing the National Anthem, and our 50/50 raffle drawing will be donated to club member Kynlee Pengilly.

The shows will be on Friday evening, February 28 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, February 29 at 10:00 a.m. Cost of admissions is $5 for adults, $2 for kids aged 6 to 12 years old, and 5 and under are free.

For more information on how to join the LASC or about the upcoming show, please contact Bobbi Hayes by phone at either 701-256-5827 or 701-370-3979 or email her at one of the following: bobbisuehayes@hotmail.com or lafsc2015@hotmail. com.
