On & Sew North in Langdon, has Early last year Davis’ fabric sought out and implemented representative, Emilee Masnew ways to use social media and technology to sustain her business throughout the past year. The store voluntarily closed for a short while last March when many other places shut down.

“When we were closed, I did a lot of Facebook Messenger video chats with customers who contacted me looking for something in particular,” said Davis.

“It was easiest to just video chat and walk around the store showing them what I had.” To purchase items, customers could go on the website, or Davis handled it by phone.

Then the point of sale company that hosts and integrates her website with her shop’s computer developed curbside pickup, a welcome feature that was not available pre-pandemic. The company also developed a subscription service which customers can join to receive automatic shipments from Sew On & Sew North every month.

Davis started Facebook Live Selling. She is able to post items, live videos, and feature son, came up with the idea of products on the Sew On & Sew “Quilting Across the Dakotas,” a North Facebook page. Using the virtual Shop Hop that customComment-Sold app to handle ers could watch and shop from the transactions, customers can home.

Rendezvous Region Wall Mural design contest The Rendezvous Region Tourism Council is seeking artists to help design a unique piece of public art that represents the culture and vitality of the City of Langdon and the surrounding Rendezvous Region. The winning design will be transformed into an iconic, must-see wall mural on the South wall of Junque Décor (intersection of 9th Ave. & 3rd St.) in Langdon.

The Rendezvous Region Wall Mural design contest is open to artists of all ages, working in the 2D medium of painting, drawing or mixed media. Artists are encouraged to submit designs that depicts the culture, lifestyle, or uniqueness that draws residents and tourists to the Langdon area.

Cavalier County has a rich history that revolves around fur trading, homesteading, railroad development and expansion, Cold War-era military sites, and the development of agriculture. Today, agriculture drives the local economy with prominent commodities, including spring wheat, canola, soybeans, barley, corn, sunflowers, and honey. The landscape is graced by this variety of crops and a large wind farm.

Each shop had prizes to share with watchers and shoppers

virtual Shop Hop in October of 2020 included 22 shops across ND and SD with around 10,000 entries for the grand prize. The Shop Hop held in February 2021 had 24 participating shops with around 14,000 entries for the grand prize. Davis is still shipping orders two weeks later.

Sometime at the end of March Davis will be participating in a Quilt Dakota book club. Each participating shop chooses and registers a specific quilting book that they will feature so that there is no duplication. Everything they show in their video will be from that book, such as the pattern book itself, related notions, tools, and kits. They will do shop codes again for registering for prizes.

Davis belongs to several Retailer Only groups on Facebook.

One shop owner taught a class on doing a Virtual Quilting Retreat.

“I signed up for the class,” said Davis, “and then partnered with Mary Bath Engelke, a good friend of mine who owns Mary’s Quilt Market in Arthur, ND, and we planned a virtual retreat.” They put together retreat bags - totes filled with goodies, a pattern book, fat quarters, who could use the shop code chocolate, a schedule of events, given during each store’s pre- recipes, Facebook tips, etc. The sentation to enter for a grand retreat was held the weekend of prize.

Jacobson organizes Easter Egg Hunt

By Linda Timian Republican Writer Andrea Jacobson is organizing the Langdon 2021 Easter Egg Hunt. It will run from Friday, March 19 to Saturday, March 27. Jacobson has created a Facebook page with all the updated information about it. Search for “Langdon’s 2021 Easter Egg Hunt” on Facebook.

“It will be very similar to The Great "Mini" Pumpkin Hunt that we did this fall,” said Jacobson. “I will put the first clue on the Facebook event page on Friday, March 19. If you go to that location, you will find

a plastic egg with a clue hidden inside. That will lead to another clue and another, etc.

There will be 12-15 clues before reaching the end where there will be treat bags and a place to sign up for the chance at some door prizes. Clues will be hidden all around Langdon, so participants will want to plan to drive to many of the locations and will likely spend 1.5 - 2 hours completing the

hunt.”

The Easter Egg Hunt is open to anyone of any age who wants to participate. “People who don’t live in Langdon are more than welcome to give cont. on page 2

Langdon City Commissioners hold meeting

By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commissions met March 8, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. for their regular meeting.

The meeting took place in the new conference room at City Hall.

Departments reported little to no changes. The street and sewer department are going to assess why some water has been sitting and not draining as it should.

With all the snow melting, they want to ensure the draining system is working as it should.

The police department has been having a tough time finding deputies to hire. Larger areas are able to offer sign-on bonuses making them more desirable.

An ad for hire is nationwide and waiting for interest and applicants is all they can do at this time.

Langdon Activity Center (LAC) is holding another 3 on 3 basketball tournament at the end of the month as they’ve proven fun and effective. The LAC also added a credit card machine and are able to take cards now. FLR Sanders, a company out of Minnesota, presented what they feel is the most appropriate option for the new flooring. FLR Sand-

ers also did the Langdon High School gym floors. The floor option has a drying gap for the floor to last and should last about 100 years. Discussion revealed that kids complain about being sore from practicing on the current floor and that this would be a good plan to utilize the Activity Center more. There is a floor covering for weddings and such to preserve the new floor as well.

An estimate and motion to approve was not presented at this meeting.

Moore Engineering did not have a presentable quote on additional work on phase 2. Second street and 12th Ave. block needs work and possibly the intersection of 3rd and 11th, but they won’t know what it needs until the frost is gone.

Johnson Controls wants to work with the City of Langdon to become more energy efficient. They will come and assess buildings the city commission requests and will work with the city to find grants and funding options. Josh from Johnson Controls explained they like to come and communicate what the best options are for each situation to ensure the best air quality with their products.

Old business from the last

meeting concerning the housing incentive has led to questions.

Darol Hoffman, owner of the Walhalla Building Center, and Chuck Downs, owner of Samson Electric, attended. It was explained that sales that are delivered into Langdon pay Langdon sales tax.

All online orders being delivered to Langdon (Amazon, Target, Menards, etc.) also pay city sales tax. Chuck and Darol have business properties in Langdon and want to know where the line is to qualify as a local Langdon business. What would need to be done to be included in the housing incentive? There was no set outlines and no motion for approval as this needs to be better laid out for what is or is not considered local.

Funding for Frost Fire of $10,000 was approved by the board for outdoor lighting, outdoor handicap accessibility, outdoor concessions, bathrooms, and a shower house. The board was open to the funding as it’s a one-time need and not an annual request. A new chair lift was installed last year, and Frost Fire has proved to be doing well.

With COVID and the border being closed, it’s expected that Frost Fire will only continue to grow and be prosperous.

North Dakota Legislature takes aim at hunting bills Various hunting bills have been making their ways through the North Dakota Legislature

By Dylan Sherman NDNAEF North Dakota prides itself on creating an environment beneficial to hunters, and several pieces of legislation under consideration this session aim to build on that.

The hunting bills still alive, having passed in the House or Senate, have all had strong support from a majority of lawmakers and move now to the other chamber, where they will go through more committee hearings.

The legislature is working on a bill relating to trespassing on private land.

SB 2144 would allow landowners to designate their land as closed to hunting through an online database.

Sen. Robert Erbele, R-Lehr, is the prime sponsor of the bill and said it would be beneficial to all.

“All land is considered open unless it’s posted physically or electronically,” Erbele said. “It gives a fair number of our landowners what they have been looking for in terms of property rights.”

During the bill’s committee hearing in January, lawmakers heard testimony that some landowners had to use multiple types of vehicles to get around their property to make sure it was accurately posted.

Erbele said the bill also states that all fenced land is considered closed, except to lawful hunters and anglers.

“That means that all properties that have a fence around it, is now going to be considered closed,” he said.

If there is no physical or electronic posting, hunters will be able to enter the land, Erbele said.

“It gives a fair number of our landowners what they have been looking for in terms of property rights,” he said.

“They don’t have to question who is out there.”

The bill also detailed punishments for those who disregard the posting, including making it a class C felony to illegally enter a highly secured premises.

Adding fluorescent pink as a color while big game hunting, through Senate Bill 2143, is another popular piece of hunting legislation still alive.

Sen. Kristin Roers, R-Fargo, sponsored the bill after she had bought a pink hunting jacket and realized it would be illegal to use. “The only clothes that were cut for a female body were in blaze pink,” she said.

Roers said there was no signage stating it was illegal in North Dakota, and she only found out after a friend had informed her.

Studies on blaze pink done by the University of Wisconsin showed pink had a visibility similar or better than orange, Roers said.

“Blaze pink is legal in nine states, including Minnesota and Wyoming,” she said.

Sen. Merrill Piepkorn, D-Fargo, carried the bill in the Senate and hoped its passage would lead to continued enthusiasm toward hunting in the state.

“A little something like this is just going to encourage participation in this sport, I believe,” he said.

The bill passed on the Senate floor by a vote of 43-4.

HB 1411, introduced by Rep. Bill Tveit, R-Hazen, on Jan. 28, described the bill as a predator control bill. The intent is to allow North Dakotans to protect their crops and livestock from predators

at any time of the day or night throughout the year.

“It allows only the landowner, the tenant or his agent to night hunt on one’s own premises as needed to control predators and the losses they create,” he said.

The bill passed resoundingly in the House and will have a hearing in the Senate in the coming weeks.

Hunting for non-residents in North Dakota produced some slight confusion during pheasant season, which is why HB 1218 was introduced on behalf of the state Game and Fish Department.

The first seven days of pheasant hunting season, non-residents are not allowed to hunt on state or private lands enrolled in the Private Land Open To Sportsman (PLOTS) program, said Jeb Williams, the department’s wildlife division chief.

“This would allow that non-resident landowner to hunt on his piece of property the first seven days of the season,” he said. “We think that is a good incentive for non-resident landowners to enrol in the PLOTS program.”

Williams said with the current statute in place, many are reluctant to enroll as they are not willing to give up the first week of hunting in North Dakota.

HB 1218 passed the House unanimously, with two representatives absent.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

North Dakota boom towns…

It’s obvious that in the last decade, Williston, Watford City, New Town and Stanley have been boom towns because of all the oil activities that were going on there.

Williston grew so fast that the population ballooned to 38,000, and the economy almost caught Fargo’s, with its population of 120,000.

Likewise with Watford City. The population there went from 1,300 in 2000 to about 8,000 by 2015. There were people all over, Dollar General stores were popping up, and local law enforcement had to hire lots of cops because there were some bad hombres in Watford City during the boom.

Regardless, so much money was floating around that Watford City’s economy grew to and surpassed that of Jamestown with its population of 15,000, strong ag economy, and a university in town. It’s tapered off now, but Watford City isn’t the same place it was just 20 years ago. Some people who have been away for a few years came back to find a community they didn’t recognize.

Stanley and New Town grew the same way. Because Mountrail County was in the middle of the boom, oil companies set up shop in both communities, and they grew rapidly as well - but not as fast or as much as the previous mentioned.

Stanley was big enough to absorb most of the influx. New Town was not and had serious growing pains.

New Town was a quiet reservation fishing village in 2008 but became an almost out-of-control growth by 2011, but the number of people, the crime, and the money started to fade away.

These haven’t been the only examples in North Dakota. In fact, during the last oil boom that started roundabout 1980, Dickinson was where the action was. People from all over the country converged on Dickinson and Stark County to work the southwest oilfields. By 1983, there was some speculation that if things kept going, Dickinson’s population was going to reach 100,000. It never did, but what was once a sleepy little cattle town suddenly had the hustle and bustle of west Texas.

The good news about the oil activity is that all of the communities

named here have seen long-term growth in some capacity. The bad news is that increased crime and cost of living came along with that. It’s hard to understand how a teacher or waitress could make it in such a hyper-inflated economy.

One thing the New Town School Board did was purchase several houses and apartments in the community and teachers could live there free as an incentive - otherwise the cost of living could have eaten them alive. There are other communities in the state that have seen the same thing, although not on the magnitude as Williston or Watford City.

As an example, in 1970, Beulah was a community of about 1,300, but by 1980, it had grown to 3,000 and would peak in 1983 at 7,000 plus.

That same year, 1983, a report in the Beulah Beacon showed that crime statistics rivaled that of the city of Fargo. A power plant was being built north of town, one was going up south of town and thousands of workers were needed to get those plants up and running. They all came to Beulah with some spilling over into Hazen, Zap, Center and Stanton.

And, it’s common knowledge that many of the workers commuted the 80 miles daily from Bismarck and Mandan.

We don’t often think of West Fargo as a boom town, but consider this.

In 1960, West Fargo had all of about 500 residents. Now, it’s the fifth largest city in North Dakota with almost 40,000 people. Strong retail, manufacturing and the Minnesota state line nearby all helped this community grow like it has. What’s most interesting about West Fargo unlike the communities of the west, is it is growing and sustaining that growth whereas the oil boom communities peaked and have since leveled off.

Gwinner was just a small farming village of 200 people in Sargent County until the Bobcat skid-steer loader came along in 1960, and popularity pushed manufacturing.

The community grew steadily and is now approaching 1,000. Unfortunately, Melroe needed far more people because it was working multiple shifts. As a result, workers were coming from Lisbon, Wyndmere, Oakes, LaMoure and even Edgeley and Ellendale in an effort to keep things rolling.

Another mini boom happened in Langdon between 1970 and 1990 during and after missile fields were built around Grand Forks Air Force Base.

Dissenting speech v. national security claims The question of governmental authority to punish speech in the name of national security came before the Supreme Court for the first time in 1919 in Schenck v. United States, resulting in the court’s first major ruling on the scope of freedom of speech. Schenck involved criticism of America’s entry into the First World War and confronted Americans with a dilemma: Does the Free Speech Clause protect the right to criticize the government in its conduct of war?

Schenck was a Russian émigré who supported the Russian Revolution that overthrew the Czar and was provoked by the decision of the U.S. to dispatch an expeditionary force to Russia in its conduct of World War l.

Schenck couldn’t stand idly by and watch America undermine the Revolution.

Schenck was the General Secretary of the Socialist Party, which utilized the U.S. postal system to distribute to prospective draftees, and soldiers serving in the European Theater, leaflets that denounced both conscription and America’s participation in the war. The flyers declared that the draft constituted involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th Amendment and that the war was an exercise in capitalist greed, serving the interests of Wall Street.

Schenck’s actions led to his conviction for violating the Espionage Act of 1917, which made it a crime to use the postal system to advocate or incite resistance to the war.

Schenck maintained that his acts were “speech,” and as such protected by the First Amendment Free Speech Clause, which prohibited Congress from making any law that “abridged free speech.”

In a landmark opinion for a unanimous Supreme Court, Justice Oliver

The Cavalier County

Republican encourages letters to the editor and intends to print the opinions of The Cavalier County Republican readers in full with as few restrictions as possible. The restrictions are: 1. All letters must be signed and the name of the writer will be printed with all letters published. Letters must contain a phone number for verification purposes.

Wendell Holmes created the “Clear and Present Danger Test,” and held that Schenck’s criticisms posed the sort of danger to the nation that Congress could by statute prohibit in the exercise of its constitutional authority to provide for “the common defense.” In balancing the Espionage Act against Schenck’s assertion of free speech, Justice Holmes wrote: “The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a Clear and Present Danger that will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. It is a question of proximity and degree.”

For Holmes, the context of the speech made all the difference in the world. “We admit that in many places and in ordinary times the defendants in saying all that was said in the circular would have been within their constitutional rights. But the character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.” He added, in words that have become famous: “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.”

Justice Holmes’ test lent to the Free Speech Clause an elastic quality. In peaceful, ordinary times, the clause could be stretched so that Schenck’s criticisms would be viewed as harmless, and thus, protected speech. But in wartime, the clause could be constricted so that his words could be portrayed as conspiring to commit a crime through its advocacy of insubordination within the military ranks.

As Holmes, himself, wrote, it is a matter of “proximity and degree.”

But critics of Holmes’ application of his Clear and Present Danger Test pointed to the inefficacy of Schenck’s speech. At trial, the federal government presented no evidence that anyone had read Schenck’s leaflet and said to himself something like: “I agree that this war is being fought for the capitalist, imperialist vipers on Wall Street and, come to think of it, the draft does violate the 13th Amendment. Therefore, I’m going to throw down my rifle and go home.”

Critics were saying, in other words, “where’s the beef?” If the flyers were unpersuasive and thus unsuccessful,

how could it be claimed that Schenck posed a Clear and Present Danger to the United States?

At bottom, it was clear that Justice Holmes was applying a stringent version of the Clear and Present Danger test to prohibit speech that might bring about a crime, that is the obstruction of the draft. Holmes was applying the criminal law of “attempt” to punish as conspiracy words that, if successful, would be prosecuted for “producing” the desired result.

To critics, Holmes’ test provided little protection for dissident speech, and seemed to ignore the fact that criticisms can expose the flaws in governmental programs. Indeed, what if Scheck was correct in declaring that the draft violated the 13th Amendment’s prohibition against involuntary servitude? Wouldn’t that assertion be worthy of protection as a means of stimulating debate on an important constitutional issue?

Indeed, the steady flow of criticisms of Schenck, including those from many friends and colleagues, persuaded Holmes to rethink the nature and content of the Clear and Present Danger Test that he, himself, had invented. In short order, Holmes brought more precise thought, and desirable corrections, to the shortcomings of the test in a subsequent case, Abrams v. United States. The revision of his version of the Clear and Present Danger Test, in Abrams, illustrates the capacity of a justice to embrace the virtues of intellectual openmindedness and self-criticism, and to find a better way to balance the sometimes conflicting claims of national security and freedom of speech. We examine next week Holmes’ change of mind in Abrams, which resulted in an opinion that would become a classic defense of freedom of speech in the United States.

level! Harassment is NOT at all acceptable, but I also fear our culture has gone too far without due process and we must tread carefully as not to lose the balance.

We had a great turn out in both Grafton and Mountain for legislative forums the past two weekends.

Absolutely enjoy getting input from all who attended. Potato house taxes has been the hot topic as my bill was heard in House Tax and Finance. No vote as of writing this report as constituents are bringing more information to that committee so they can make an informed decision. It seems to have stirred up the old fight between urban and rural issues.

A few bills that have gone under the radar yet very urgent are SB 2313 and SCR4012 which is gravely needed to protect grid liability as we look at future energy plans.

We live in a strange world where everything from cyber warfare to a china virus is used as weapons and we must be prepared to have our energy grid protected. Another was SB2003 that is the appropriations for all our higher education budgets. It is noteworthy to know it amounts to 13% of our entire budget. Speaking of budgets, HB1038 provides a study of the Legacy Fund. The committee shall study potential uses of legacy fund earnings, including the use of earnings to provide tax relief, provide for reinvestment of legacy fund earnings, fund research and technological advancements, promote economic growth and diversification, and promote workforce development and career and technical education.

The committee may consider public input on the use of legacy fund

earnings and review the operation of other funds, such as Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. The legislative management shall report its findings and recommendations, together with any legislation required to implement those recommendations, to the sixty-eighth legislative assembly. Interesting to me of course as I grew up in Norway during the North Sea Oil boom and have closely watched how their fund has grown. I firmly believe we must be utterly careful spending to much of the earnings as we must be looking long term. oting on huge appropriations bills is always hard as not all the provisions in them are agreeable, yet much is.

Always a balancing act, but I must admit I am deeply dismayed that we are not being more prudent and cutting spending. And also disturbing how much policy gets put into appropriations bills, which makes it challenging when voting. It is ideally supposed to be policy bills and appropriations bills, - separate.

Agriculture committee looked like this this past week, more bills that go unnoticed by most; - HB1145 relating to soybean districts and the terms of office for members elected.

HB1158 relating to allocation of monies paid to navigate adverse environmental impacts. Good discussion and information from AG Commissioner how this will serve local producers better. HB1197 relating to licensing and fees for special fertilizers. HB1338 relating to waivers and exemptions during emergencies relating to antimicrobial pesticides.

It was a delight to drive back to Bismarck this week with no an ounce of snow anywhere.

Letter to Editor

Letter to the Editor: For the last decade artists in the music industry have glorified drug use without making a mention of the consequences that they really cause.

It went from glorifying drug dealing to glorifying the use of codeine, molly, weed, OxyContin, cocaine, you name it and it’s referenced in at least one of your favorite artists songs. In the past ten years there have been a number of drug overdose deaths in the industry. From Mac Miller to Lil Peep, Whitney Houston, Prince, Tom Petty, Juice World, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, and Rick James.

With this I have noticed a ton of artists speaking out on the awareness of drugs and suicide. From Logic to Lacrae, 50 Cent, Macklemore, Com-

mon and Eminem. The drug crisis we are in has opened artists minds up to how influential there work can really be. Juicy J made headlines for apologizing for promoting drug use.

I hope it sets the tone for this decade to come because things need to make a change for the better and what better way than the music industry to start this amazing trend.

P.E.O. Scholarship available to senior girls

St. Alphonsus Preschool-8th grade are enjoying the beginning of reading month! For the month of March, they celebrate reading and take time to focus on multiple genres!

By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School Looking Back to March 2020 I glanced at the calendar the other day, and March 15 jumped off the page. That date marks one year since our schools were closed in North Dakota due to COVID-19.

It was on that date last year that I attended “Once Upon an Ever After” at the Roxy Theater. It was the last performance of the weekend, and the weather shifted to give us heavy, wet snow. There was so much uncertainty swirling in the air due to COVID-19 and then direction came from the State of North Dakota – schools in the state would be closed, effective immediately.

We didn’t know what to think, and we didn’t know what would happen next. We didn’t know we wouldn’t get to say goodbye to our students in person and that it was the end of in-person learning for the school year. It was a chaotic time.

I met with area school leaders; then we had two days of meetings with our St. Alphonsus School

Girls in the senior class of Langdon Area High School are encouraged to apply for the P.E.O. Memorial Scholarship(s) being offered by Chapter U of the P.E.O. Sisterhood of Langdon. Scholarships will be $600 per award.

Interested girls should contact Marnie Thielbar at Langdon Area High School for application guidelines and are asked to submit the final application to Pam Luhmann by April 24. The scholarship(s) will be

awarded at the awards program at LAHS in May. This scholarship originated when Chapter U received a bequest from Fred E. Hawley in memory of his wife, Chelta Hamilton Hawley.

Since then additional bequests have been received in memory of Bernice Price and Martha Devold. These funds all go directly to further the education of capable young women of Langdon.

A Saint’s Shout Out

teachers, and we kicked off distance learning the following Monday.

What should have taken years to put into place, we accomplished in a week. We made the best of a tough situation. Our students adapted.

They showed us how to keep moving forward. We were inspired by their resilience, their excitement for learning, and their ability to go with the flow. It’s not something I wish any of us to go through again, but I find I am able to find the positive during a crazy time. When we connected with our students via Zoom, it pushed all of us out of our comfort zones, but it also pulled us in to our students’ comfort zones. We were in their homes via video; we saw their toys, met their pets, and saw cameo appearances by family members.

One of my favorite memories was our “Hey Ride.” We dressed up in our best flannel shirts and cowboy hats, and we took a hayride around town to say “hey” to all of our students we were missing so much. It was a bright, sunny day, and we needed to see those smiling faces. It recharged us. It motivated us, and it helped us move forward.

We also followed the national trend and decorated the windows of our empty school with colorful hearts. We know our students drove by our building, and it was a way for us to connect with them and spread some joy during an uncertain time. I am also proud to say that when our students returned to our classrooms in the fall, they were right on track. We see the results of the work our parents were doing at home. We know how hard it must have been for them.

When I look back and I see how far we’ve come, I want to remember the positive. In the middle of a crisis, we came together to navigate through it. It challenged our faith and brought us closer to God. It brought our staff closer, and it showed that we can handle tough things that are thrown our way. It showed us that we are not facing anything alone in this community – we have the support of parents and community leaders, and we were able to lean on each other when the going got tough.

That says a lot to me.

Congratulations to Mikaela Olson, Tallia Johnston, Drew Rostvet and Riley Medbery, students from Langdon Area School who qualified for State competitions for Math Counts on March 25.

USDA extending free meals to children through summer 2021 Senator John Hoeven, Ranking Member of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee and a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced it will extend current waivers to allow free meals for children through September 30, 2021.

“The announcement will help North Dakota school nutrition professionals and Summer Food Service Program providers adequately plan and prepare for how to best distribute meals throughout the summer months,” said Hoeven.

“As we continue responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency, it’s important that children are able to access meals that are both healthy and nutritious. I asked Secretary Vilsack about this at his confirmation hearing and welcome the timely announcement from USDA.” This announcement extends current waivers which allow meals served through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO) to be available at no cost to children. The waivers were previously set to expire on June 30, 2021.

A Serpent On A Pole, And A Man On A Cross Numbers 21:4-9.

Much of the books of Exodus and Numbers tells the sad history of a people who for forty years whilst being delivered, led, and provided for by God - made a profession of complaining. The turning point came when a pole was raised up in the desert with a symbol of the enemy upon it (Numbers 21:8). There and then a generation of wilderness wanderers were called to grow up, cease their constant complaining, enter into the faith of Abraham (Galatians 3:9), and hasten on their journey towards the fulfillment of the promises.

The symbolism of the serpent on a pole was taken up by Jesus (John 3:14-15). Sin died at Calvary (2 Corinthians 5:21) - and death died, the wages of sin (Romans 6:23).

All who fix their eyes upon Jesus (Hebrews 12:1-2), trusting in His finished work upon the Cross, enter into a new state of being called “eternal life” (John 3:16).

“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave His one and

only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him” (John 3:14-17).

If a serpent on a pole was a shocking symbol for a monotheistic people so is the picture in our minds’ eye of the broken body of a man impaled upon a wooden cross. Yet, in both instances, this is what God commanded. Without the brazen serpent there was no healing for the Israelite who had been bitten by a snake (Numbers 21:9) - and without the Cross there is no salvation for any one of us, bitten as we are by the sting of death which is sin (1 Corinthians 15:55-57).

Jesus was “lifted up” in the crucifixion, so that everyone who believes in Him, trusting not in themselves but trusting in His sacrificial blood, would have eternal life.

This was and is the supreme act of God’s love.

Our God is the God of the unusual. Looking at the symbol He has commanded brought healing to the poisoned Israelite, and similarly brings salvation to the wouldbe Christian. There is no time for prevarication: do this or die.

State to continue providing test supplies as longterm care facilities transition to post-vaccine phase State to continue providing test suWith over 85 percent of North Dakota’s long-term care residents now fully vaccinated for COVID-19, Gov. Doug Burgum announced today that the state will shift from statedriven guidance to locally driven decisions in basic care and assisted living facilities, while also providing testing supplies to all long-term care facilities as they transition to a post-vaccination phase.

More than 90 percent of longterm care residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while over 85 percent of residents and 49 percent of staff have received both doses.

“These milestones bring tremendous hope and encouragement to long-term care residents, families and staff and allow facilities to begin implementing their post-vaccination plans,” Burgum said. “Today, we are moving from state-driven guidance to locally driven decisions that are implemented by each assisted living and basic care facility.

The state will continue to provide testing supplies for residents, staff and visitors and recommendations to help protect the most vulnerable and those who care for them.”

North Dakota is one of the most open states in the nation when it

comes to long-term care visitation, with all assisted living and basic care facilities allowing in-person visitation. Eighty percent of skilled nursing facilities are allowing inperson visitation; the other 20 percent have COVID-19 cases among their residents and/or staff and are prohibited from having visitors under federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations.

As facilities transition to locally driven post-vaccination plans, Burgum today will rescind two executive orders, 2020-22 and 2020-22.1, effective at 8 a.m. Friday, which among other things required assisted living and basic care facilities to conduct routine COVID-19 testing of residents and staff. Those facilities are still strongly encouraged to collaborate with the state’s Vulnerable Population Protection Plan (VP3) team and follow the continuing recommendations on testing, service and visitation in accordance with standards of practice issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

To assist, the state will provide rapid testing supplies to the facilities free of charge, to help keep residents, staff and visitors safe by identifying asymptomatic cases

to further curb the spread of COVID-19. North Dakota has approximately 2 million rapid antigen tests readily available.

Skilled nursing facilities must still follow CMS infection control protocols and visitation guidelines.

Those facilities also are encouraged to work with the VP3 team to protect vulnerable residents and develop post-vaccination plans. Basic care and assisted living facilities are not regulated by CMS. While over 85 percent of longterm care residents are fully vaccinated, only approximately 50 percent of long-term care staff are fully vaccinated. Interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke noted that those who didn’t get vaccinated can and are encouraged to still get vaccinated as the state moves into Phase 1C. “If you were in Phase 1A or 1B of the vaccine prioritization and didn’t get vaccinated, you didn’t lose your turn. We encourage unvaccinated health care workers to seek out one of the three vaccines now available to protect themselves and the individuals in their care,” Wilke said.

The North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department and the North Dakota Council on the Arts are now accepting applications for the Artist in Residency program within the North Dakota state parks. The Artist in Residency program offers artists the opportunity to stay and work in unique environments where they’ll draw inspiration from a North Dakota state park, demonstrate their skills, and assist park visitors of all ages in discovering their artistic side. This is the 11th year these state agencies have collaborated for such a program that empowers people, improves lives and inspires success!

Three artists will be invited to stay at either Lake Metigoshe State Park (July 26-August 2, 2021), Fort Ransom State Park (August 1-8, 2021), or at Fort Stevenson State Park (November 29-December 9, 2021) as a collaborative effort to incorporate arts into the educational programming presented by the North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department.

The program’s goal is to continue creating works of art that showcase, document, and celebrate our North Dakota state parks while providing opportunities for visitors to become

stewards, with a deeper appreciation of artistic works inspired by the state parks. Artworks generated from this program have characterized the state’s beauty for present and future generations, allowing park visitors to see North Dakota through the eyes and ears of contributing artists. The Artist in Residency program is inviting artists in all disciplines to apply.

“Through this unique partnership, the state parks have hosted exceptional artists of diverse talents to share their skill set with a wide audience,” stated Andrea Travnicek, North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department Director. “We look forward to seeing what the chosen artists create this year!”

This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. Participating artists are required to provide a minimum of two onsite presentations, one of them a hands-on workshop providing park visitors of all ages an opportunity to try out the artist’s skills, methods, and/or tools. Artists are provided with either a cabin or a modern

campsite for their residency duration, depending upon availability.

A stipend will be awarded to the selected artists upon completing the residency program to compensate participating artists for their time and expenses. Stipends range from $1,750-$2,250 and are based on the length of residency. Participating artists are required to donate a piece of art representing their style and reflecting their residency to the park’s collection. Applicants must be current North Dakota residents.

“I enjoy working with a variety of talented local artists and getting a glimpse at the parks through their artistic eyes, vantage points and interpretations,” States Amy Schimetz, state park program coordinator.

Interested artists can obtain additional information and an application at https://www.parkrec. nd.gov/business/resources. Please submit applications via email to aschimetz@nd.gov on or before April 16, 2021.

The mission of the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is to offer a diversity of recreation opportunities and sustainably manage resources.

Brush with the Bunch

The last Brush Bunch article covered the float we painted for the Chamber of Commerce for the city. This time I will cover our own floats which vary from year to year. I won‘t cover them all but will start with 2014 when we built a “Birthday Cake“ with a ten-foot candle for the Langdon 125th anniversary. This was constructed on a trailer belonging to Paul Brusseau in Kevin Landsem‘s shop in Langdon. It was a fun day, and we had a long haul to the parade site. We used this cake float in our own parade, at a later date, but we were short a candle...another story. On the 4th in 2015, our float represented the Liberty Bell with candy being thrown to the excited kids (of all ages.)

In 2016 we honored our veterans who served our country with several riding on the float driven by Leona, picture by Carolyn is shown.

In 2017 Laurel pulled a float with their 4-wheeler honoring our fallen soldiers. The following year, Virginia‘s grandson, Robert Dunnigan, from Little Elm, Texas, rode on the float and spread candy to the waiting crowd. Our float for 2019 was a replica of the American flag with Sylvia and Mary Ellen riding shotgun. In the infamous year of 2020, our float was ready, but the parade was called off because of predicted rain. Re-scheduled, at the last minute, and guess what - we weren‘t ready, so no show. Well, God willing we should be in the 4th of July Parade in 2021. Back at the Gorge Gallery: on Tuesday Sylvia got the final go on the programs for our 50th Anniversary Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale the first weekend in May. Virginia has made final plans for the “bar area“ for our canceled #49 art show, complete with your chance to vote for “People‘s Choice Award“ for the best of #49! Be sure to join us on that weekend, we have a lot going on for all ages! Another of the Twelve Commandments for Seniors by Julie Dunnigan: #2 “In style“ are the clothes that still fit. Take care, and God Bless!

The Munich Ambulance Service will stop providing medical care and transport within a year.

The Munich Ambulance Service provides emergency medical response to Munich and outlying areas of Sarles, Calvin, Clyde, Calio and Alsen. We also provide support to the volunteer fire departments in that area.

Without enough EMTs, we are going to lose our license and be legally prohibited from transporting patients. That would make residents of the Munich Ambulance Service area dependent upon ambulance services that are over 40 miles away. Response times will go from a few minutes to as long as an hour in Munich and longer in the outlying areas.

The Munich Ambulance will not be able to continue as a functional ambulance squad unless we get an influx of new members. In recent years, all but one of more than 20 original EMTs that founded the Munich Ambulance Service have left the organization. Some were EMTs for over 30 years. They had farms and jobs and families, but they stepped forward when they were needed. We only have 7 EMTs now.

Now it is time for the next generation to get ready. We desperately need younger members who will take over for the next generation. It will take a commitment. You will have to do some work and give up some time. Being an EMS volunteer is more than just a hobby. It is an avocation and a lifestyle. You become part of something that is greater than any one person. You will have bad moments and good times. You will learn things about yourself and your world. You will have skills that you will use at home as well as on duty. People will turn to you when they are hurt and scared because you are the one who knows what to do. There is little pay beyond reimbursement for expenses. You do this because you feel good doing it. It is really not for everybody. But for those who can do it:

If you don’t, who will?

Lady Cards win Consolation Championship at State B Tournament Finish season with a 20-7 record; Freije named to All-Tournament Team

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team won the Region 4 Tournament for the fourth year in a row which advanced them to the State Class B Girls Basketball Tournament held in Minot at the MSU-Dome March 4-6. The Cards had a tough shooting night in the first round losing to Carrington 45-39 then came back to win a consolation semifinal against Hettinger-Scranton 51-39 and moved on to win the consolation championship game over Kenmare 53-40. The Lady Cards finished another fantastic season with a record of 20-7. Junior Morgan Freije was named to the All-Tournament Team. Here is a recap of the Cardinals three games at the State B: Carrington 45, Langdon-Edmore-Munich 39 It was a battle of the Cardinals in the first round of the tournament.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich got off to a promising start, leading 14-9 after one quarter behind five points from Whitney Pankratz. The Lady Cards pushed that lead to seven in the second quarter before Carrington got uncharacteristically hot from the 3-point line, knocking down three triples to grab a 30-25 lead at halftime.

The second half was filled with opportunities for Langdon-Edmore-Munich to get back in the game, as they finished with 21 (!) steals in the game, but it seemed like every time they would steal the ball, they would give it back to Carrington on a turnover. Hitting the big basket was also an issue, as the Lady Cards shot just 30 percent from the field for the game. Morgan Freije was the only Cardinal in double figures with 14 points, followed by Cora Badding with seven.

Kaylee Lowery led the team with six rebounds and, also, had a team high five steals. Sydnie Grager led Carrington with 17 points.

The Cardinals forced 25 Night Hawks turnovers while holding their own down to just 12. Morgan Freije led the Lady Cards with 12 points, followed by Jaya Henderson with 10 and Cora Badding nine.

All-State Night Hawks center Sam Oase led her team with a game high 21 points.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 53, Kenmare 40 For the consolation championship, the Cards met the Kenmare Honkers, who came into the tournament as the only unbeaten team in the state. Langdon-Edmore-Munich used the same strategy as the day before in wearing out teams and pulling away.

It was another balanced scoring effort by the Lady Cards, with Morgan Freije, Jaya Henderson, and Jal-

They were met by Freije at the bench, and all three celebrated a win to end their season, and for Olson and Lowery, their careers with Lady Cards girls basketball.

Blades girls finish sixth at 19U State Tournament in Langdon Finish season 9-9-3; Abby Forest, McKenna Schneider named to All-State team

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Blades girls hockey team had the honor of hosting the end of the league State 19U Girls Hockey Tournament, which was held at Dakota Spirit Arena March 5-7. The Blades ended up playing four games in the tourney, losing a heartbreaker to Grand Forks 1-0 in the opening round then beating Bottineau 2-1 and winning over Richland 5-4 to stay alive in the tourney. Langdon then lost to the BW Blades 5-1 in the consolation championship game. The Blades finished the season with a league record of 9-9-3. They do not lose anyone off this year's team, as all the girls are underclassmen. Postseason accolades went to Abby Forest, who was named to the All-State team at a forward, and to McKenna Schneider, was made All-State as a defenseman. Blades coach Jeff Schneider was named Coach of the Year for the second year in a row.

In their first game of the tourna-

ment, the fifth-seeded Blades faced fourth-seeded Grand Forks and played them tough the whole game.

Grand Forks scored early in the third period to break up a scoreless tie for the only goal of the game.

Langdon goalie Jaelyn Buckman played her heart out with 29 saves, as the Blades were outshot 30-11.

Coming back to play the morning of March 6, the Blades again had a tough match up with Bottineau. Langdon got the upper hand in the first period on an unassisted goal by Alexa Schneider which was followed by a second period score

by McKenna Schneider, assisted by Kora Gensrich. Bottineau would get a goal in the third to make things close, but again Buckman played great in the net, stopping 34 shots. Bottineau outshot Langdon 35-23 for the game.

In a loser out game later in the evening on March 6, Langdon scored five unanswered goals to start the game against the Richland Rangers then hung on for the win. After a scoreless first period, Forest, McKenzie Regner, Kenadee

Cluchie, Catelyn Goodman and Arianna Haraseth all lit the lamp in the second and third, and it looked like the Blades would run away with the victory. Richand caught fire, however, and scored four straight goals to get to within one at 5-4 with less than two minutes left in the game.

Buckman and the Blades defense, again, held tough in the remaining moments. The Langdon netminder had 43 saves as again the Blades were outshot 47-31.

Playing their fourth game in three days, the Blades ran out of gas in the consolation title game again the BW Blades. After falling behind 2-0 early, Langdon got one goal back when Kora Genrich scored, assisted by Forest, but that would be their only score in the contest.

Buckman had 32 saves, and BW outshot Langdon 37-16.

By all accounts the tournament as a whole went very well, with top-seeded West Fargo beating Bismarck 5-1 to win the championship.

Hats off to all of the tournament sponsors, organizers and volunteers who made the tourney possible.

Blades settle for fourth at State Junior Gold Tournament in Fargo Romfo, Hove, Zimmer and Dease all make the All-State team; Langdon finishes 9-7-1

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer The Langdon Blades had high hopes on winning their first-ever State Junior Gold Hockey Tournament title when they entered the tourney in Fargo on March 4-6. The Blades got off to a great start, beating Minot for the first time this season 7-3 on March 4 but then lost to Grand Forks in the semifinals 5-1 and were beaten 7-1 in the third place game by Richland. After the tournament, Langdon finished the season with a record of 9-7-1, but they lose just three seniors off this year's team in Cooper Zimmer, Isak Dease, and Trevor Hove. All three of them were named second team All-State, and Mason Romfo made the first team as an All-State forward.

In the Blades first game of the

tourney, a big second period was the difference in a win over Minot.

Romfo scored the first goal of the game on an assist by Zimmer. After Minot tied the game early in the second period, Langdon put up four unanswered goals by Alex Gellner assisted by Romfo and Reese Hoffarth, followed by unassisted scored

by Brody Steinmetz and Zimmer.

Dease would finish the scoring barrage with a goal assisted by Parker Rime. After the Wolves would score early in the third, Steinmetz continued the best game of his young career, as the first year junior gold player would get two more goals in the third for his first-ever league hat trick. Hove, Dease, Brady Regner and Ryan Henderson all had assists on the scores. Dawson Hein was sold in net for Langdon, stopping an incredible 52 shots. Minot outshot the Blades 55-51.

In their second game of the tour-

nament on March 5, the Blades met the Grand Forks Stallions in the semifinals. Langdon had beaten Grand Forks less than a week before, but this game would be different, as the Stallions slowly worked to a 4-0 lead early in the second period before Langdon got their only score on a shorthanded goal by Dease, assisted by Romfo. Hein had 32 saves for the Blades, and Grand Forks outshot Langdon 37-19.

It was another time game for the Blades in the third and fourth place contest on March 6, as they fell behind Richland 4-1 after the first period and never got back in the game. Dease would score the only goal again for Langdon, his last as a junior gold player, ending a fine career with a power play lamplighter assisted by Romfo. Hein did his best between the pipes, coming up with 47 saves. Richland outshot Langdon 54-26.

The following were named to the Blades Jr Gold All-State Teams: Mason Romfo-1st team forward Trevor Hove-2nd team defenceman Cooper Zimmer-2nd team defenceman Isak Dease-2nd team forward

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Cardinals, Eagles, one game away from a State B Boys Basketball Tournament berth The exciting winter sports season we have been enjoying has continued. The Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals and the North Border Eagles were one game away from heading to the Magic City of Minot and State Class B Boys Basketball Tournament if they get a win in their respective regional tournaments. For Langdon-Edmore-Munich it would be their first appearance at a state boys hoops tourney since 1996 and for North Border it would be the first since 2007. Now, both teams had very tough match ups, with the Cards playing #1 Four Winds-Minnewaukan and the Eagles taking on #2 Grafton, but as we all know in Tournament Time, anything is possible. As you read this, you will know what happened, and let's just hope that it's good news.

We congratulate the Cards and Eagles, at the very least, of just getting into the position and getting the opportunity to get to the State B. Lady Cards win Consolation Title at State B Tournament The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team once again represented the area very well in taking fifth place at the 2021 State Class B Girls Basketball Tournament held in Minot March 4-6. The Lady Cards won the consolation championship of the tourney with a win over Kenmare. Had it not been

for a very rough shooting night in the first round against Carrington, who knows where the Lady Cards would've ended up in the tourney.

The Cards had yet another 20 win season, their fifth year in a row of at least that many, and are looking for big things in the future. Kaylee Lowery and Lexi Olson completed very successful careers with the Lady Cards program, and we wish them well in the future. The Cardinals have a ton of talent coming back next season, and they will try and drive to their fifth state tournament next season. Thanks for the fun year, Lady Cards!

Season winding down at Dakota Spirit Arena Along with winter basketball nearing an end, the same is happening for hockey and other activities at Dakota Spirit Arena. The Langdon Blades junior gold and girls hockey teams completed their seasons, with the junior gold boys finishing fourth at their end of the year state tournament and the girls taking sixth. The girls tourney, of course, was played in Langdon, and it went very well from start to finish. The girls will have everyone back next season, and the boys lose three seniors in Cooper Zimmer, Isak Dease and Trevor Hove. We wish them the best in the future as well. We haven't been told about if there will be a skating show or Old Timers Hockey tournament still to come, and if there is, we will let you know here. Congrats to everyone on another successful hockey year at Dakota Spirit Arena.

We will have some spring announcements the next time we visit.

"See ya!" next week!

Tile Drainage Webinar Set for March 25 Participants will learn about tile drainage design and management.

Workers connect tile to a plow.

(NDSU photo) Producers and others will have an opportunity to learn more about tile drainage during an online tile drainage design and management webinar North Dakota State University Extension is holding from 8:30 a.m. to noon March 25.

“This tile design educational event is intended for agricultural producers and those interested in understanding basic design principles and agronomic practices for tile drainage, including utilizing

sub-irrigation and managing the water table with control boxes,” says Hans Kandel, NDSU Extension agronomist and workshop co-organizer. “This would be of interest to farmers, landowners, consultants, tile industry personnel and others interested in water management.”

The workshop will focus on the principles of planning and designing agricultural tile drainage systems, including water management structures and lift stations, as well as the agronomic benefits of tile drainage.

Workshop topics include: • Basic drainage design principles, soils parameters and drainage coefficient • Agronomic considerations and benefits of water management • Online drainage design tools • Controlled drainage and subirrigation options • Lift stations and design “Understanding the fundamentals of tile drainage and knowing some of the design aspects is essential for a properly designed tile drainage system, which may include water control structures and/ or pump units, and these need to be considered up front,” says Tom Scherer, NDSU Extension agricultural engineer and the workshop’s

other organizer. “A properly designed and installed subsurface drainage system is usually almost maintenance free for many years and can last longer than a farming career.”

Kandel adds: “Although we have been dry during the last part of 2020 and this winter, most of our agricultural crops perform poorly in saturated soil conditions, and with severe weather with heavy rainfall events, the risk of crop stress has increased. A tiled field with the option to control the water table will give farmers a means to reduce production risk due to situations where there may be excess water or not enough.”

Attendees also will receive a list of several pertinent Extension tile drainage resources as reference materials.

The program is free of charge but preregistration is required. To register, visit https://tinyurl.com/ nrwps53w. Those who preregister will receive emailed instructions on how to participate in the meeting.

Dakota Gardener: Back in ‘21

By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension I sometimes wonder if I would have made a good historian.

I enjoy reading about the past, and I’ve done quite a bit of research through archival documents to learn about our ancestors.

What will the history books say about 2021 and what happened to the trees? I hope they’ll say that it was an average year and nothing special happened.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I would make a terrible financial planner. Predict what’s going to happen to the market in the next three years? I can barely predict what’s going to happen in the next three days.

Yet for the trees of North Dakota, I’m thinking about the next three to six months. It’s early March and most of North Dakota is in a drought; in more than two-thirds of the state, that’s a severe drought.

How will that affect the trees?

About the best we can do is make an educated guess because a lot depends on the weather this spring and summer.

If it stays dry, the trees will be highly stressed. Trees that already were stressed from insect and disease pressure likely will decline and some will die. Those that remain will be more susceptible to pests.

It’s a vicious cycle: stress upon stress upon stress.

But we certainly have hope. For now, subsoil moisture is still OK. And trees have survived droughts in North Dakota in the past. The Dust Bowl years of the 1930s were some of the worst in the last 300 years, but droughts in the 1840s and 1860s were terrible as well. A lot of trees survived.

If the drought worsens in 2021, one species that’s likely to respond quickly is hackberry. Hackberry is one of the first species to drop its leaves when the soil dries up. The trees then go dormant. It’s actually a great survival mechanism.

Other species will hold onto their leaves a bit longer; they might shut down their actual growth without going dormant but will hold onto their leaves. If moisture conditions improve later in the summer, those other species will have an advantage because they still have their leaves. In that situation, hackberry would be less competitive. It’s a trade-off in survival mechanisms.

Another concern right now is the lack of snow cover in central and western North Dakota. Snow provides a lot of insulation to the soil, but without it, soil temperatures can drop far lower than they normally do. That will stress tree roots and sometimes will kill them.

I’m usually pretty tough on my own trees. To survive in my yard, they’re going to have to make it on their own. I rarely water them.

In 2021, I might have to rethink that attitude. Maybe it’s time to think about irrigation or controlling weeds and grass competition a bit

more.

If you decide to irrigate your own trees, remember to go low and slow. Let the water slowly sink into the soil. And make sure to move the hose or sprinkler around the tree for better coverage. Tree roots extend far beyond the dripline of the tree crown.

Try to avoid saline water, if you can. That would make the stress even worse.

So what will the history books say about the trees in 2021? Most of them survived. Even though times were tough, the trees were tougher.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent What Should I Do with the Bread?

Usually bread doesn’t sit around very long at our house. Carbohydrates are some of my favorite foods, so when it come to bread and noodles, I don’t mess around. I usually make my own bread (though French bread and sub buns have yet to be mastered), and the bread that I do make usually doesn’t last long.

Full disclosure: I am the only bread lover in the house… Which is why I was SHOCKED when I saw a bun sitting on the counter the other day, as well as the end of a loaf of bread.

Where did they come from?! How did this happen?! How had I not noticed them when I was searching for something to eat in a state of hunger that was insurmountable? It was a little shocking to me, as I don’t usually let things like that happen very often.

I was met with a dilemma: how am I going to use this (now stale) bread? There are so many options that it’s often hard to choose, but stale bread never has to go to waste.

A person can often save money by using stale bread or purchasing day-old bread from bakeries to make other food items such as croutons and French toast.

NDSU has a publication called “Pinchin’ Pennies in the Kitchen: 4 Ways to Use Day-old Bread” (FN1743) that has a few tips, tricks, and recipes for using up day-old or stale bread. Homemade croutons, French bread, bread pudding, and breakfast casserole are the recipes included in the publication. They look delicious and would serve the need to use up the bread.

I have been asked a few times about extending the shelf life of homemade bread. There are options such as the addition of soy lecithin, but that can be costly and isn’t always readily available. There is the option of adding vinegar as

well, but that is not always the best option, either, as it can interfere with the rising agent and may make the bread have a vinegar taste. The best option to extend bread life is to refrigerate or freeze it. If you don’t like the taste of bread once it’s been refrigerated or frozen, then that’s when you can experiment with fun recipes that make the bread into something new and exciting like bread pudding and as-you-like-it breakfast casserole.

Bread Pudding 6 slices whole-wheat or white day-old bread 2 Tbsp. butter, melted ½ c. dried cranberries or raisins 4 eggs, beaten 2 c. milk ¾ c. white sugar 1¼ tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Break bread into small pieces into a greased, 8-inch square baking pan.

Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. Sprinkle with dried fruit. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread and lightly push the bread down with a fork until it is covered and soaking up the egg mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for one to 1½ hours, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped. Make sure it is baked thoroughly, with no liquid remaining and a toothpick or knife comes out clean when inserted in the center of the pan. Makes nine servings. Each serving has 220 calories, 5 g fat, 7 g protein, 35 g carbohydrate, 3 g fiber and 150 mg sodium.

As-You-Like-It Breakfast Casserole 8 eggs 2 c. grated cheddar cheese 2 c. milk 1/8 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 6 slices day-old bread, cut into cubes Additions (choose two or three): 1 c. corn (cooked or frozen) ½ c. chopped broccoli ¾ c. sliced mushrooms

“Please come upstairs,” I texted to my 22-year-old daughter. “I need help!”

This was not an emergency situation. I was sitting with a pillow on my lap and four remote controls with more than 100 buttons.

I have been warned by my family not to push buttons randomly.

I had found the movie I wanted to watch. However, I could not figure out how to get the movie to play on our TV. Our TV is a few years old, so it is not technically a “smart TV.” We had to buy a separate plug-in device to be able to access subscription movies.

That added a fourth remote control.

I think I heard a sigh as my daughter walked down the hall.

“Why don’t you watch it down-

The bun and bread I found didn’t make it long enough to use in a recipe. Like I said: I’m a carbohydrate lover, and I don’t mess around.

Stale or fresh, it’s all good to me.

I think I just may save some next time to have some of that yummy bread pudding for dessert.

stairs?” she said. “It’s easy with the new TV.” “I like my chair up here.” I replied.

“I will go and make popcorn and not stare at you.”

I thought back to my childhood when we had one TV with no remote control. I was a human remote control. I would turn the knob to get to one of the four channels we had available, if the weather conditions were right.

We had no cellphones or internet when I was young. I had my first personal computer in college.

Eventually, I enjoyed my movie, thanks to my techno-savvy, “digital native” daughter. She returned to the basement to video chat with her friends.

Technology certainly has made life easier in many respects. We have more information at our fingertips than ever. During the pandemic, even though we are not in the same room, we can see each other through Zoom or FaceTime or some other technology.

We also can vacuum our living room without lifting a finger using robotic vacuums. We can push a button to lock and unlock our doors if we have the right apps and devices.

Who knew that the predictions of the Jetson cartoon show would become reality?

As we enjoy our technology, we also may be bombarded with advertisements. We may encounter ads as we scroll through an online magazine or newspaper. We might be checking in with our friends on social media, such as Facebook (for those of us in the older generation, according to my kids).

As you peruse the web, you might be enticed by “click bait” that bring you to an advertisement. According to some estimates, we are exposed to at least 6,000 ads every day in various forms.

March is National Nutrition Month and also the beginning of the spring season. This has prompted a lot of weight loss advertisements.

People are peeling off their sweaters and storing their parkas. They may discover the pandemic left them unable to fit into their spring wardrobe.

As you read information online or intersect with advertisements pulling you to websites, ask yourself these questions to determine if the information is reputable: Who is the author?

What are the author’s credentials?

Is a credible sponsoring institution identified?

What is the purpose of the infor-

mation?

Is the site promoting or selling a particular product? (Commercial websites often end in “.com”) Is the information based on scientific research or opinion? (Government websites ending in “.gov” offer free information without commercial bias.)

How current is the information? Is a date listed?

Does the information have links to other sources of information? (This sometimes provides a clue to reliability, but not always. Anyone can link to another organization’s website.)

Are the facts documented with sound scientific references? Or is the information solely based on personal testimonials?

Does an editorial board oversee the content? What are their credentials?

Is the information well-written in terms of grammar and spelling?

What is the tone of the writing? Does it take a balanced approach?

Snacks can be high in fat, sodium and cost, depending on what you pick.

Here’s a recipe courtesy of the Popcorn Board. Popcorn is a whole-grain snack. Even with added butter, this snack is fairly low in calories and fat.

Using “powder” versions of spices (such as onion powder instead of onion salt) reduces the sodium content.

If you want to reduce the calories more, use less butter.

Crunchy Cajun Popcorn 2 1/2 quarts popped popcorn (preferably air-popped) 1/4 c. butter, melted 1 tsp. paprika 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. lemon pepper Pour butter over warm popcorn.

TERMINUS OF LATERAL B: The terminus of Lateral B shall be located in the South Half of the Southeast Quarter (S2SE4) of Section 15, Township 161 North, Range 62 West of the 5th Principal Meridian, Cavalier County, North Dakota.

PURPOSE OF THE PETITION: We, the undersigned landowners, petition the Cavalier County Water Resource District to accept our petition. The purpose of the drain is to improve the existing natural drainage by restoring it to original conditions or by deepening and widening certain areas to facilitate current flows in the basin.

The project will also move water downstream in a manner so as not to increase flows in the East Snowflake Drain. This project will protect wetlands on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service property and remove excessive water from agricultural lands to provide a mix between the environment and wildlife interests. The project will have no effect upon the health, convenience or welfare of the residents in the drainage area.

It may be necessary to improve certain crossings downstream to facilitate existing flows.

A map of the course of North Loma Drain No. 2 is hereby attached and made a part of this Petition. The course of the drains, as indicated on the map, may be changed as a survey by the Engineer for the Water Resources Board may require.

Dated this 21st day of September, 2017.

By Rita Maisel

Basketball Winners: As this is written the Class B Regionals for boys are underway.

Four teams in each region began tournaments on Monday and only the winners advance. By Thursday, after this column has gone to the printer, only the eight winners from their regions will go on to state. We always wish that our local teams could be part of the eight, but there is a very real sense that they are winners long before that final cut. Some of the winners who do eventually go to state may be teams we are not sure we have ever heard of before. Some, like myself, are just old enough to remember Elbowoods before they were flooded into history, a few can tell you where Epping is on the map, and some remember a girls' team from Ayr who set some outstanding records.

The first official Class B State Tournament was held at Valley City in 1933 and won by Fairmount over Cando in overtime 32-30. The top player on the Fairmount team had 18 points at the end of regulation.

A sub on his team, who made only one shot in the game, put them over the top during the overtime. Other teams mentioned from that tournament were Grafton, New Salem, Benson County and Mohall- who might have grandsons playing ball today.

I try to follow games today by radio – a method that started in childhood when television had not been invented and was convenient when the last television I owned went to someone else (too long a story to tell). With FCC changes over the years, our old radio did not pick up a newer invention which included the station broadcasting local sports. About that time, Alco came to Langdon and sold a variety of appliances so I purchased a radio that could bring in a FM station just by pushing a switch. As it happened, two local teams were playing that night (Munich and Walhalla), and the announcer (not

Cavalier County Republican

yet Jake) was beside himself with excitement. “This one is a barn burner! If you’re not here, where are you?” Both of those teams had either already won at state or would do that in the near future, so the recent Walhalla reunion of their victory was a good reminder of what a nearby town can do on the state level.

In November, a friend had suggested some of the volleyball games would be on internet, so during basketball season I found the brackets and some links to games online.

One day a game with unknown players came up, with again very enthusiastic announcers marveling to each other about a player on the floor. “Did you see that!!!”

“Is there anyone else on the floor?” etc. When watching this game, one player stood out, and his baskets fell in from any side and any distance. That player was not the tallest one in the game, but he was the smoothest and fastest by far. A repeated play featured the star of the game getting the rebound and sending it to his partner at the opposite end of the court who seemed to miraculously catch it each time and would dump it in for two or three more points while the others on the floor stood and watched in amazement. There was no question about who the player of the game would be: Jesse White, a senior from White Shield, was the obvious choice. Even in an older issue of The Hoopster, he led the list of returning, all-time scorers with the number 2,000 behind his name and a note that he was still playing. The coach’s notes listed him as a player with college level skills, and during districts this year he had surpassed 2,700 points and was aiming to pass up the previous second highest prep player (Ron Waggoner from the 1960s) by regionals. His goal is to bring his team to state, apparently for the first time ever, and by Thursday this week we will know if he makes it. Even without that record, White will become second only to Steve Blehm from the Devils Lake School for the Deaf who is the leading North Dakota prep scorer of all time. Blehm received his award as “National Player of the Year” with a recorded total of 3,930 points from Gov. Art Link in 1972.

Langdon Long Ago

The late 1960s and 1970s had other players who went on to college and national playing as well as coaching in their home state and elsewhere and have inspired more recent generations of basketball players. Bob Eaglestaff, from the early 1970s playing then for an almost unheard of Fort Yates team, went on to found a basketball league for Native American students in Seattle before his death.

There appear to be relatives by his name on Class A North Dakota teams today. The team Jesse White plays on had seven players on their previous team picture (10 on the current roster), and their stats list the White Shield School as having only 40 enrolled in high school so getting to state is a very big dream.

The Alsen team members still living would tell you that sometimes the impossible is possible.

The Fate of the Monarchy: The title above was the subject of a recent “Cross Country Checkup” on the CBC based, in part, by the recent interview Oprah Winfrey held with Prince Harry and his wife which was initially broadcast in the United States. The fall-out and second guessing over the interview flashed around the world in record time. Wondering if this a real international concern or a media tempest in a teapot, I listened to the Canadian reaction with interest. After 69 years of ruling the British Empire, most people feel Queen Elizabeth has done as well as the monarchs before her, and many personally like her as a royal leader. However, most realize that she does not personally make the controversial laws facing many governments today.

The current controversy comes both from within the British farflung realm and from England itself where citizens and strangers alike consider themselves monitors of every move royal family members make and are quick to criticize. Now at age 94, and with her 99-year-old husband in poor health, critics think it is time for change.

During most or all of her lifetime, the Queen has been a sort of kindly relative who comes to visit on occasion, speaks to them at Christmas and other times, and appears on both their stamps and their money.

Because Americans are not

raised learning British or Canadian history, I had to do some initial digging on this. Recently, I had mentioned the 1885 territorial census of our area listed about 75% of the residents of Cavalier County had originated in Canada or entered through a Canadian port before coming to Dakota Territory. Each of those who came and applied for citizenship or naturalization signed a document by which they gave up allegiance to Queen Victoria and pledged to support the government of the United States. Those early settlers, many of whom were born in Canada, passed down to younger generations a sense of friendly interest in the generations of British rulers.

The first biography I can remember being assigned was about Queen Victoria who was a teenager at the time she inherited the throne and went on to serve as Queen for 63 years before her death in 1901.

In that time, she met and married Prince Albert and had quite a number of children. When Albert died, she built a large, beautiful crystal palace in his memory (later headquarters for one of the very first World’s Fairs), and the province of Alberta was named for him. During her long reign, the world was taught that the sun never set on the British Empire. A special relationship was formed when Canada, Australia, South Africa, and India - as well as other smaller parts of the world - became independent nations modeled after British government.

With the death of Queen Victoria, her son, Edward VII, became king for nine years and grandson George V followed his father and served 25 years. King George had World War I to contend with and the Spanish Influenza epidemic as well as a massive economic depression which circled the globe of that time. With the rise of Hitler and the war in Spain as well as Japan and Russia rising to power, King George passed on the throne to his son, David, known as Edward VIII for 327 days in 1936. On my mother’s side of the family there were aunts, uncles, and cousins still in Canada at that time, so family scrapbooks had pictures of Edward VIII giving up the throne “for

the woman he loved” and becoming known for the rest of his life as the Duke of Windsor. His younger brother, formally King George VI, followed in line and ruled for fifteen years before his death in 1952.

The brothers were great grandsons of Queen Victoria.

Queen Elizabeth II is the fifth generation down from Queen Victoria and succeeded her father as he had no sons, and she was his oldest daughter. It was important that royalty marry other royalty. Elizabeth’s marriage to Prince Philip from Greece made Philip the royal consort. Her sister, Margaret, lost status by marrying out of the royal line and is now deceased.

In the late 1970s, I read a book written by an author who had left England for political reasons and settled in Australia. That author was Neville Schutte, and the book (one of many he wrote) was “In the Wet” published in 1953 with the story line set in the future (1983).

Schutte was outspoken in his opposition to Queen Elizabeth II, who at the time was newly on the throne, and lists Elizabeth’s failure to deal with communism and post war problems, a possible atomic third world war, and suggests that she abdicate to her son Charles – a toddler at the time the book was written. While the book should not be read for factual information, it is frequently quoted as gospel in discussions of the monarchy form of government. Schutte and many others felt women should not rule! Today, most of the opposition within Canada appears to come from the multi-cultural growing pains of Canada with indigenous leaders emerging, and the old quarrels of French and English politics revived. Americans do not have a vote in whether the monarchy remains or changes, but we do benefit from strong ties to both Canada and the British government. And while we do not need to know all the details of their lives, the royal family has always been a special group we seem to regard as friends.

On the fashion scale, Queen Elizabeth sets a very high standard for ladies in their 90s.
