L-E-M Lady Cards win state title with an unbeaten 27-0 record

By Jake Kulland Republican Sports Writer

Read the latest from the Langdon Ctiy and Cavalier County Commisson on Page 3.

After a season that ended with their second fifth place finish in as many years at the State Class B Tournament, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team knew that they had to keep working to get over the hump to win a state title. Head Coach Rob Scherr said, "I knew this summer when we went to a Class A Camp at UND that these girls had it in them to step up their game to another level. They worked their tails off to get better than they were the year before."

The hard work in the off-season paid off big time, as the Lady Cards went through a perfect season, winning 27 games in a row and the second state title in program history. They beat a very good Grafton team 52-41 in the championship game before a Betty Englestad Sioux Center record crowd of 3,682. The Cardinals were the first team to go unbeaten since Kindred did it in 2017. Langdon-Edmore-Munich is also the first team in Class B history to win both a volleyball and a girls basketball title in the same school year.

The Lady Cards senior captain and team leader, Callie Ronnin-

gen, won Class B Senior Athlete of the Year after the tournament, and she was also named the MVP of the state tourney.

Callie said after the game, "Winning state is a dream come true. Getting personal awards is great, but I've always wanted more than anything to see our team do well and succeed. I am so happy for my teammates and to win the title for Coach on his 400th win is very special. Coach means the world to us."

Coach Scherr, who has had an 800 pound gorilla on his back after taking four straight teams to a state tournament (two with the Cardinals and two with Park

River-Fordville-Lankin) and never finishing higher than fourth place, did get his 400th career win in the championship game with Grafton. Scherr said, "I was pretty emotional at the state tournament because I kept reflecting on how proud I am of each individual on our team and how they came together with one common goal in mind.

They went after it with pride and confidence."

The Lady Cards proved to be a second half team in the tourney, outscoring their opponents 93-53 in the third and fourth quarters of all three games comcont. on page 2

CDC Updates on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor As of March 9, 2020, a total of 45 nations informed WHO of additional health measures they implemented in relation to COVID-19 and provided the public health rationale for these measures. On the evening of March 10, President Donald Trump informed the nation from the oval office that travel from Europe to the United States would be restricted in wake of the spread of the Coronavirus. The ban does not apply to England or Ireland. That same evening, Governor of North Dakota Doug Burgum announced the first confirmed case of the virus in the state.

“We encourage citizens to be prepared and not panic – to base their actions on facts, not fear,” Burgum added. “North Dakotans should take this virus seriously, stay informed and follow recommendations for reducing the spread of COVID-19, including washing hands frequently and staying at home when they are sick. We continue to work closely with our hospitals, nursing homes, schools, the business community and other stakeholders to ensure that every appropriate measure is being taken to protect vulnerable populations and all citizens.”

A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been

previously identified. The virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.

Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. The follow-

ing symptoms may appear anywhere from two to two weeks after exposure.

• Fever • Cough • Shortness of breath There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). It is believed to be transferred through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Older adults and people who

have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. Please consult with your health care provider about additional steps you may be able to take to protect yourself.

If you are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, you should: stock up on supplies; take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others; when you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick; limit close contact and wash your hands often; and avoid crowds, cruise travel, and non-essential travel. If there is an outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible.

State and local health departments who have identified a person under investigation (PUI) will immediately notify CDC’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to report the PUI and determine whether testing for COVID-19 at CDC is indicated. The EOC will assist local/state health departments to collect, store, and ship specimens appropriately to CDC, including during after hours or on weekends/ holidays.

Clean your hands often!

New attorney at Scott Stewart Law Office Scott Stewart Law Office has brought a new attorney on board to assist area residents.

Angelo Mondragon, formerly of Santa Cruz, California, has started practicing law in Langdon.

“I went to the University of California, Santa Cruz for my undergraduate degrees in Sociology and Economics and the University of North Dakota School of Law,” Mondragon shared.

Mondragon passed his bar exam last fall. His decision to attend law school and begin a career in the field came about recently and is a story that he shared.

M o n dragon explained that he loves to learn and experience new things. Prior to this he had worked as a stock broker and a police officer. Not shy about manual labor either, he also worked in a hog barn and drove a combine as a farm hand but most recently was a bar owner in Manitoba.

“The business was getting

crushed under the regulatory and revenue demands of the provincial government, so I formed an organization to advocate for the rural bars. At one point we were considering legal action against the Manitoba government,” Mondragon said. “I was sitting in a meeting with lawyers and they said that they’d love to help me but I couldn’t afford to pay them. I got mad and told them I would just go to law school and do it myself. That was four years ago, and now here I am.”

What d r e w Mondragon to the Langdon are and the office of Scott Stewart is Stewart’s areas of practice and his nearly forty years of experience.

Mondragon approached Stewart to see if he would be interested in adding another attorney to his practice.

“He agreed to meet with me.

After our meeting and some discussion, he offered an ascont. on page 2

Of his time in Langdon over the past several months, Mondragon has really enjoyed it. He notes that there are so many events and activities happening within the small community. One

change that he does wish for is that there be an indoor pool as he misses swimming, surfing and sailing.

“I jump at any chance to get into water,” Mondragon said.

Cavalier County Commission discusses future of HR position The Cavalier County Commission addressed agenda items during their recent meeting held on Tuesday, March 10. The primary focus of the Commission’s discussion was related to the now vacant HR position and what the best option moving forward would be for that position and duties.

There were several ideas put forward by the commissioners, ranging from hiring a full-time person to having the HR office take on payroll to the potential longevity of the position as the social services may be taken over by the state in the future. The commissioners had suggestions from the gallery stating that employees of the county be given a chance to relay what they want and need in the HR department.

The Commission took the suggestion and tabled the issue. They will seek further information from other counties and have a few months to figure out a plan of action.

Cavalier County Job Development Authority Executive Director Shannon Duerr informed the Commission about efforts to ensure the 2020 Census is completed successfully within the county. Duerr explained the importance of the Census as it provides valuable data to the federal government concerning population and potential funding for the area. Residents can expect to begin receiving Census packets between March 12-20. They will then be directed to fill the survey out online.

Special Census events for those such as the elderly and those

with no internet access will take place during March 25 and 26.

Cavalier County Public Health District’s Terri Gustafson updated the commissioners on the latest information coming from the Centers for Disease Control and the North Dakota Department of Health on the coronavirus or COVID-19. At the time of the meeting there were between 32 to 37 states confirming the virus. Those most likley to be infected and have complications are the elderly with underlying health issues.

In Other Business • NDSU Cavalier County Extension office informed the Commission that Kim Ruliffson, the regional director for the service, had announced her resignation to the Commission effective May15.

Langdon City Commission holds short meeting The Langdon City Commission had a short agenda for the March 9 meeting. The Commission was updated by Commissioner Marty Tetrault regarding streets that were left unpaved last fall due to the abrupt shift in weather in October. Moore Engineering’s Andrew Aakre informed Tetrault that he would be in contact with Spruce Valley regarding conditioning of streets as the spring thaw occurs.

Commissioner Lawrence Henry informed the Commission that the fire department would be eligible for a few grants that could provide security updates to city hall and the

fire department. The commissioners agreed this would be good to pursue.

Correspondence was received from the Rendezvous Region Tourism Council regarding the $10,000 membership request. The Council withdrew the request and instead invited the commissioners to attend their next meeting to better explain how the money is used.

Sanitation Supervisor Tom Beauchamp presented a request to purchase a new loader for the department. Beauchamp explained why the new loader is needed and what the specs were. Some discussion was made on the uses and lon-

gevity of the purchase with the commissioners making a minor change to the options to make the loader compatible with several attachments that are already in use. The Commission approved the purchase of the loader with that change and using the sanitation’s equipment reserve fund to pay for it.

Brush with the Bunch

Continuing on with the series that I started a few weeks back, “The Brush Bunch at Work“, shows Leona Schneider working on a wedding gift for a granddaughter who will be married on March 21. The gift is a homemade sign which reads; “Love you until the day after forever“. Leona is not new to sign-making nor is she is new to the Brush Bunch, having joined in the 1995-1996 season. In Leona‘s words, taken from a brochure celebrating our 35th year in 2006, “Thinking that my youngest son and sister are oil painters, some of their talent must run in my veins. Through the years I find that to be a myth. My first opportunity came about ten years ago when I attended a watercolor class.

Later I tried acrylics which seem to be my niche. I joined the Brush Bunch in 1996. We do have a lot of fun and help each other along the way.“ Leona is serving her first year of a two year presidency for the club. Thank you, Leona, for sharing with us. Our Art Show and Sale is fast approaching, make plans to visit with us on the first weekend in May 2020. Another quip from Laurel‘s something for everyone: the dot over the “I“ is called a tittle. So now you know. God Bless and have a great one.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Will Estevan glow in the dark?…

For several weeks we’ve been wrangling with officials in Saskatchewan about nuclear power and its implications. Back in November 2019, the Saskatchewan Growth Plan was released, and part of it describes how the coal-fired power plants and some of the hydro power generating stations are going to be replaced with nuclear reactors with a start date of 2030.

That’s only 10 years from now. In 10 years, a nuclear reactor capable of supplying 350,000 homes will most likely be situated less than 13 miles from the North Dakota border near Noonan in North Dakota and Estevan in Saskatchewan. Estevan is where transmission lines already exist so the infrastructure is already in place.

Provincial officials don’t want to

talk to reporters about it. The Saskatchewan Minister of Environment didn’t return phone calls seeking comment, but the mayor of Estevan did answer questions regarding nuclear power in his city. What’s even more disturbing is that our officials in the Department of Environmental Quality in Bismarck weren’t aware this was being planned in Saskatchewan.

The plan is to implement nuclear power to help fight climate change and bring the province to 50 percent renewable energy by 2050. For all intents and purposes, nuclear power is safe and is more efficient than coal or hydro power. However, these small, modular nuclear reactors, as they are called, were built by humans so the possibility of human error exists.

If you don’t want to believe me, consider all the recalls in the auto industry. Things can go wrong and do. What if it does? Then what?

North Dakota most likely doesn’t have a plan to evacuate those communities near the border that would be affected?

When we say the word nuclear, the first thing we think of is Chernobyl and how that explosion in 1986 turned eastern Europe upside down for a very long time. It was also the first time in my life I saw a Russian president (Mikail Gorbachev) pre-empt an American television program to announce what had happened at Chernobyl. The measurement of radiation released has never been placed in the public domain, but it caused all kinds of diseases, including thyroid cancer in children.

There were unconfirmed reports that rats grew to be the size of small dogs and pine cones were found the size of basketballs.

If you go back to 1945, you’ll know that Hiroshima was a city of about 350,000 people that was leveled by a small (20 kiloton) nuclear bomb. Hiroshima still “glows in the dark.” In nuclear circles we talk about half life, which means over a period of time, the radiation is reduced in half and again in half and so on, depending on the power of the blast. The thing about half life that a lot of people don’t understand is that it will never cease to exist. It will become smaller to a point that it’s irrelevant, but it will never cease.

So is that a possibility in Estevan?

Yes, anything is possible, and Estevan could glow in the dark, but the consequence would be much less intense because the reactors would be much smaller than Chernobyl or Three Mile Island.

OK, that’s the bad news. And yes, there is some good news about nuclear power. It’s clean, it’s efficient and it’s cost effective. Maintenance is minimal, and in Estevan’s case, there’s plenty of uranium right there in Saskatchewan when refueling is needed, approximately every seven years. This new generation of reactor is quite portable as well.

You can transport it by rail, ship or truck and can be set up and placed just about anywhere. These reactors can produce as little as 3 megawatts of power up to 350 megawatts. It’s very futuristic and will most likely become the norm in the next 50 years.

And over that time, it is expected the devices will become safer as well.

Chernobyl was doomed from the start. It was built on that old, Soviet style... on the cheap, just like Sputnik or Soyuz.

Most of France is powered by nuclear, and we don’t hear of “accidents” going on there. The French government and its people are very pleased with nuclear power and see themselves as being ahead of the rest of Europe by 50 years because of it.

Here at home, we continue to promote crude oil and coal. Yes, we have it, but it’s something that the renewable world is leaving behind.

Just 13 miles north of the border, it’ll be 50 years into the future.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor, Socialism, Oh dreaded, fearful word.

Truth is we lead socialized lives every day and month of our lives.

Most of us belong to this group or another. Many of is belong to a whole host of assemblages, associations and cooperatives. In most cases it is to band together for the whole as well as the individual.

That firebrand-socialized medicine, single payer, Affordable Care Act, Obama Care, call it what you want. We already have had this in our country for decades and decades. Largely going back to the time of World War II. It is what is known as employer and/or government provided health insurance, i.e. payment of premiums. By explanation, however, no employer or the United States treasury has ever paid a dime of any employee's healthcare insurance premiums. You and I continue to pay for that every time we buy a product, hire a service or pay our taxes. When one purchases that new automobile, consider how many thousand dollars of that window sticker price goes to pay the industries executive, assembly line and dealership employee's health insurance premiums. When you buy that toothpaste, consider how much of the price goes to pay Proctor and Gambles' long line of health care insurance needs.

Now my self-employed farmer friend, when you haul a load of grain to the grain elevator, you receive say $4.60 per bushel. Do you go back in the office and pronounce you will need another $0.75 a bushel to cover your health insurance premiums. No, the manager candidly answers that in actuality we withheld $0.75 from you to pay mine and our employee's health insurance. Do you sole proprietor

fix-it person, at the end of your customers statement add on overt category for your health insurance premiums.

Sure the Federal legislators, after dragging their obligatory feet for decades and then only in increments, have finally allowed medical premium tax deductions. Which by no means represents a full rebate.

Yes, also company provided health insurance is often given in lieu of higher wages. This writing is by no means a repudiation of all those who do get their health insurance provided by an employer.

All that be said, isn't it time this "great" nation embraces the doctrine that health care is a basic human right, not a carrot and stick privilege. While this is not an endorsement of Bernie Sanders. Rather it is a call to listen to him as a studied, forthright and well-meaning candidate. Presenting himself without malice, vulgarity or pretense.

In recent accompaniment of dozens of our Canadian neighbors, I made a point of asking how they liked their single payer health care system. Without exception, 100% stated they loved it. When we need health care we get it immediately, scheduling highly elective care is a well worth trade off. They asked in turn, how can your country be so backward?

Let us remove health insurance as an employment ploy, ;eve; the field of competition, stop the depravity of double taxation, discrimination and the meaning of "I've got mine".

May we then indeed have Group Insurance, that Group called America.

Immerse yourself in North Dakota’s cultural history

Swiss painter Karl Bodmer was the first artist to go into painstaking detail to accurately capture Native American culture in North Dakota.

In the early 1830s, Bodmer painted 81 aquatints, the prints of which can be seen today at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Washburn.

The center’s Bergquist Gallery displays the prints on a rotation, with no fewer than nine in the gallery at any one time and others displayed throughout the center.

Other museums dedicated to the art, history and culture of Native American tribes in North Dakota can be found in Belcourt, New Town, Fort Yates and Stanton.

The cowboy is another prominent figure in North Dakota culture and the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora seamlessly blends the history of ranching, rodeo and Native American photos, displays and videos to bring the cowboy to life.

Scandinavia continues to influence our culture, with recent census data showing that 30% of North Dakotans trace their ancestry to Norway. This culture is on display and celebrated at the Scandinavian Heritage Museum in Minot, which pays

homage to the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

The German-Russia culture is kept alive at the Welk Homestead in Strasburg, birthplace of famous “Champagne Music Maker” Lawrence Welk. A generation grew up listening to the legendary bandleader, whose musical skills were honed at the homestead that is preserved as a cultural treasure.

The influence of Ukrainians, whose ancestors settled in the Dickinson area, can still be seen today.

Learn more about their colorful Easter Egg art and dance at the Ukrainian Cultural Institute. Meanwhile, in Mountain, the annual Deuce of August celebration is dedicated to North Dakotans of Icelandic Heritage, The North Dakota Heritage Center and State Museum in Bismarck has among its collection a picture of Sitting Bull done by Catherine Weldon, as depicted in the movie “Woman Walks Ahead.” The museum is a one-stop source for the arts, culture and history of North Dakota.

Moldy Cattle Feed How much mold is too much when feeding beef cattle? The goal is to feed very little mold but sometimes that’s an unrealistic expectation in the ranching business. The two most common sources of mold for cattle are hay and silage.

It is extremely difficult to make hay in high rainfall regions without some mold. Untimely rains allow for mold growth in the windrow before baling and when hay is baled too wet, the molds will grow inside the round bale. Looks are deceiving since the hay bales can look fine on the outside but are moldy on the inside. If bales are ground or shredded, we never see the mold in the hay bale other than an abnormal dust cloud.

Corn silage that isn’t covered with plastic will develop several layers of mold. The top, black mold layer is decomposed feed. It has lost most of its feed value and should be discarded and not fed. The next mold layer is white and shows the transition between the non-fermented and fermented silage pile.

Usually the white mold layer is drier than the fermented part of the silage pile since it lost moisture due to exposure to sun and wind.

Veterans Update

By Leon Hiltner County Veterans Service Officer I will be out of the office March 24-25 due to my spring VSO conference in Bismarck. I will come in on Thursday, March 26 for the morning or you can call my cell at 3708986 if needed.

New Honor Flight Hub to be Established in Bismarck Nationwide since 2007, the Honor Flight Network has recognized Veterans for their service and sacrifice by transporting them free of charge to Washington, D.C., to visit war memorials. Western North Dakota Honor Flight is the second hub based in Bismarck. The Roughrider Honor Flight operated from 2009 to 2011.

The WNDHF’s inaugural trip is tentatively planned for fall 2020, pending the availability of funds.

Veterans who register for WNDHF will be accommodated in a firstserved manner, as well as by the order of the conflict in which they participated. The WNDHF is a non-profit group and will fund all expenses (currently estimated to be about $160,000) to Washington, D.C., for North Dakota’s Veterans.

This program relies on donations from businesses, corporations, civic organizations and private contributors.

NDSU Extension Notes

Corn silage with two layers of mold, black and white.

With the ongoing, late corn harvest in eastern North Dakota, molds are being seen on wet, light test weight corn. An NDSU Extension resource on moldy corn can be found here: https://www.ag.ndsu.

Molds on ear corn may contain mycotoxins.

edu/publications/crops/cornear-molds-basic-questions-and-answers/pp1451.pdf.

Experience indicates that beef cattle can consume some mold without too many problems. However, when sporadic abortions occur in a cow herd, mold or fungal abortions are incriminated. Testing for abortions caused by mycotoxins (toxins caused by molds) at the NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) should include both the fetus and the placenta.

If you suspect molds are present in your stored feeds, you are encouraged to contact NDSU Extension office at 701-256-2560. There is an ongoing effort to collect samples of moldy, stored feeds which will help develop a stored feed research testing procedure and program at the NDSU VDL.

Jean Kartes

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, March 14, 2020, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon, for Jean Kartes, 88, of Langdon, who passed away Sunday, March 8, 2020, at Maple Manor Care Center in Langdon. Burial will be in the spring at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Mt. Carmel.

Jean Lucille Girodat was born February 17, 1932, in Mt. Carmel, to Joseph and Margaret (Meyer) Girodat. She grew up and attended school in the Mt. Carmel area.

She helped many families in their homes and cared for their children in her teenage years. On August 1,

1950, she was united in marriage to Parnell Kartes at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church. Parnell entered the Korean War shortly after their marriage so she lived with her parents while he was away. When he returned, he and her made their home on a farm near Wales where they raised their seven children. In 2000, they moved to Langdon. She had been a resident at Maple Manor for the last several years. She enjoyed embroidery, quilting, gardening, and playing whist. She also liked to dance and listen to Johnny Cash. She was a devoted and true Langdon Cardinal and Minnesota Twins fan. She was an avid member of the Wales ladies birthday group and spent many years as the leader of the altar society in Wales. She was a member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, St. Michael’s, and St. Al-

phonsus churches.

Surviving Jean are her children: Wayne of Rolla, Deb (Dave) Zwingel of Rugby, Donna Sager of Langdon, Lynn (Tammi) of Sykeston, Laverne ”Frank” (Susan) of Hillsboro, Randy of Devils Lake and Rick (Laurie) of Wales; 13 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; and sisters: Charlotte Druar, Irene Loomis and Sandra (James) Stevens along with many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Parnell, brothers Jerome and Jim, and brothers-inlaw Charles Druar and Charles Loomis.

Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements.

A memorial service was held on Saturday, March 14, 2020, at HansonRunsvold Funeral Home in Fargo for Frank Ingulsrud, 87, who passed away on Monday, March 9, 2020, at Bethany on 42nd in Fargo. Burial will be at Prospect Township Cemetery in April and to be announced by family.

Frank was a loving and positive role model for his family. He treated everyone he encountered with respect and kindness and seemed to make friends wherever he went. As a farmer, he took his job of being a good steward of the land seriously.

That lead him into serving and then leading both the Ramsey County and ND State Soil Conservation Boards for many years. He was also active in leading the Edmore Cenex Board of Directors and in the Derrick Lutheran church community, teaching Sunday School and assuming various other roles. Born Leo Franklin on July 26, 1932, to Norwegian immigrants, Gina Hansine Froyland and Lars Ingulsrud, he was the youngest of nine children.

Leo Tolstoy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are his namesakes. He attended Prospect Township school and graduated from Edmore High School in 1950. Post high school, Frank contemplated a career in engineering but decided to continue farming. As a young man, he spent the winters curling. It was a perfect game for him since it blended his athletic skills with mix of strategy and social interaction. It was the social interaction component that brought him together with his wife, Mary, at the Milton curling club during one of his several bonspiel victories. He and Mary made their home on the Ingulsrud homestead for the next 40 years, raising three

children: Kathleen (Bob) Stjern of Roseville, Minn.; Brian (Annette) Ingulsrud of Fargo; and Rebecca (Darrin) Romfo of Langdon. He and Mary spent nine winters in Mesa, Ariz. In 2000, he officially retired from farming, and in 2001 they moved to Fargo where he was Mary’s primary caregiver through her diagnosis and journey with primary progressive aphasia, an earlyonset dementia. Mary passed away in 2007. He enjoyed retirement in Fargo, including pool tournaments, cards, and lively current events conversations. One constant for him was his loving connection to his mother-in-law, Hattie Hunter, his sisters-in-law, and all his nieces and nephews on both sides of the families. He was able to travel to take in grandkids’ events as they grew up.

He treasured time with his special friend, Joyce Larsen.

Frank is survived by his children, their spouses and his grandchildren: Eric, Chad (Maddie) and Alex (MacKenzie Kelley) Ingulsrud; Britta (Mitch Evett) and Bobby Stjern; and Jack and Theo Romfo.

He has one great-grandchild, Vincent Ingulsrud. He is also survived by sisters-in-law: Phyliss Ingulsrud, Grace Ingulsrud, Charlotte Soli, and LuAnn Hipsher (Gerald); brothersin-law Chuck (Linda) Hunter and Robert (Arlene) Hunter; and over 120 nieces, nephews, grand and great-grand nieces and nephews from both sides of the family. Preceding him are his parents and wife; brothers: Odin, Lars Milo, George, Ole and Arnold; and sisters: Bertha Rude, Ann Odegard and Maida Zieske.

The family is grateful for all the care and attention of the staff at Bethany on 42nd and for the kindness of Ethos Hospice staff.

Condolences and memories may be shared at www.hansonrunsvold. com. Arrangements by HansonRunsvold Funeral Home - Fargo.

Older adults who want to stay in their own home as long as possible will have a chance to learn whether their home is ready for that during a webinar North Dakota State University Extension and South Dakota State University Extension are hosting March 11.

The free webinar titled “How to Stay in Your Home Longer” will be held at noon Central time. It will highlight factors that can help or hinder older adults in reaching their goal of remaining in their own homes. Individuals will be able to participate from the comfort of their own home or during their lunch hour.

“We know that older adults prefer to stay in their home for as long as possible,” says Jane Strommen, NDSU Extension gerontology specialist. “However, many older adults have not taken the appropriate steps to make this happen.”

To better understand this issue, NDSU and SDSU Extensions conducted the Dakotas Housing Study to explore what North and South Dakotans know about strategies to facilitate successful aging in place.

“The results of our study suggest that residents of all ages see the benefits of having an aging-in-placeready home and that those homes are largely unavailable in the current stock,” Strommen says. “Our results suggest that people want homes they can reasonably expect to live in for their whole life.”

Susan Ray-Degges, a professor and the interior design program coordinator at NDSU, will be the guest presenter for the webinar.

Attendees also will learn about the Dakotas Housing Study, architectural deficiencies in the current housing stock, design options that may support aging in place and resources available for home modifications.

Participating in the webinar is free of charge but registration is required.

Visit the SDSU Extension events page at https://extension.sdstate. edu/event/how-stay-your-homelonger-webinar to register. The registration deadline is March 10.

For more information, contact Strommen at 701-231-5948 or jane. strommen@ndsu.edu.

Community Sarah Overby Financial Representative for Thrivent Financial Annuities 101: Many options for retirement income When it comes to accumulating income in retirement, annuities could be one solution to explore as part of your overall financial strategy.

An annuity is a contract you purchase and fund to receive money over a specific period of time plus interest. When you purchase an annuity, the insurer agrees to repay your money – plus the interest it earns – either in a lump sum or over a period of time you select. These products come in a variety of different specifications and can be used as fixed and guaranteed income in retirement. Some even offer the potential for significant growth.

Annuities are intended to help you fulfill your long-term retirement goals, so taking withdrawals or surrenders early may result in additional charges. Be sure to consult with a financial professional when considering annuities and always remember that guarantees are backed by the strength and claims paying ability of the organization or company you’re working with.

Below is a quick primer on the different types of annuities that are currently available: Deferred Fixed Annuities You can purchase a fixed annuity with a lump sum payment or with flexible premiums (several payments over time) and receive a guaranteed minimum rate of return. The insurance company will pay interest at a fixed rate which is usually established when you purchase your annuity. That rate is guaranteed for one year. In subsequent years, the rate may change as interest rates fluctuate but will never fall below the guaranteed minimum rate listed in the contract.

These contracts will then pay out over a length of time you choose, including an option for lifetime income. A deferred fixed annuity may

Monday, March 16, 2020 – Page 7

Financial Corner with Sarah be right for you if you want guaranteed, dependable growth and plan to take income down the road in retirement.

Variable Annuities Variable annuities have values that fluctuate over time according to the performance of the investment options and fixed accounts selected. Investments in fixed accounts earn at least a minimum interest rate guaranteed in the contract. These will also allow you to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis to help meet your retirement goals and will give your money the opportunity to grow faster because you don’t pay taxes on earnings until you actually withdraw them.

Immediate Annuities Immediate annuities can help you turn assets or inherited lump sums of money into retirement income for your life, regardless of how long you live. Your income payments will begin right away.

These products can provide a range of benefits including income options and you decide how to start taking income by choosing from several payout options. If you pass away during the guaranteed period, your beneficiaries may continue to receive annuity payments for the rest of the period or the present value of any remaining payments.

If you are nearing retirement and concerned about whether you have the right portfolio of products in place, annuities might be worth considering. You can also choose an annuity which may offer a higher interest rate for increased growth and can offer a sense of reassurance by providing retirement income.

As with any major financial decision, talk with a professional to understand what would work best for your specific situation.

Tobacco users in North Dakota are encouraged to Take Down Tobacco on March 18, 2020, by making it their day to quit using tobacco.

Previously known as Kick Butts Day, Take Down Tobacco Day is recognized annually across the country to encourage tobacco users to seek help in quitting tobacco. Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and NDQuits, North Dakota’s tobacco cessation program, are aiding the effort by providing practical tools and educational resources to help anyone who wants to quit.

A quit plan is the best way to improve a tobacco user’s odds at success. A quit plan includes setting a quit date, like Take Down Tobacco Day, along with removing tobacco products and triggers from the home and work environment, and replacing those items with healthy foods, stress-relieving aids, and reminders of why they chose to start living tobacco-free. Informing loved ones can also be very beneficial for additional support and motivation

throughout the quitting process.

The resources available through Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and NDQuits provide additional support in the form of personal coaching and nicotine replacement therapy medication. Free nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or nicotine lozenges are provided to qualified enrollees.

“Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic has tobacco treatment specialists that can help you kick the habit for good and take down tobacco in your life. North Dakota’s adult smoking rate is much higher than the national average. You can help decrease that number by quitting tobacco on Take Down Tobacco Day,” said David Kavish, PharmD and tobacco treatment specialist at CCMH. “We have the resources you need to create a plan that works for you. We’re here to help!”

Despite declining tobacco use rates in North Dakota, 19.1% of adults in the state still smoke. Ac-

cording to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, smoking causes 1,000 deaths each year in the state, and contributes to about $326 million in annual healthcare. Tobacco is still a problem in North Dakota. and Cavalier County Health District, Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and NDQuits are committed to reducing the toll tobacco has on our state.

“If you know someone who uses tobacco, encourage them to make Take Down Tobacco Day their day to quit,” said Kavish “Remind them that Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and NDQuits have the tools and resources they need to get started. Not only that, but that you’re there for them, too.” #TakeDownTobacco starting by making today your quit day! Join others all across the country that are quitting today for good!

To learn about resources available to quit tobacco, contact Cavalier County Memorial Hospital at 256-6100 or 256-6120 or go to www. nquits.health.nd.gov.

Lady Cards win second title in program history in unbeaten fashion

Halftime adjustments key in all three games; Ronningen wins Senior Athlete of the Year, Scherr Coach of the Year

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team had some disappointment in their two previous years in the state tournament, losing in the first round and settling for fifth place. But this year would be different, as the third time would be the charm. It would be the 15th appearance for a Cardinals girls basketball program at a state tournament (6 in Class A, 9 in Class B), and it resulted in their second Class B Girls Basketball Tournament championship, coupled with one in 2005. The Lady Cards would win three games in the tourney -beating Hettinger-Scranton 56-35 in the opening round, Central Cass 62-42 in the semifinals, and Grafton 52-41 in the title game. Those three wins would give the Cardinals an undefeated season with a record of 27-0. Langdon-Edmore-Munich's Callie Ronningen won the tournament's most valuable player award, and she and Morgan Freije made the All-Tournament team. Ronningen also won Class B Girls Basketball Senior Athlete of the Year honors and is also a finalist for Miss Basketball. Cards coach Rob Scherr won Class B Coach of Year, and the win over Grafton was his 400th career coaching victory. Here is a recap of the Lady Cards three games at state: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 56, Hettinger-Scranton 35 The Cardinals were the top seed in the tournament going into their first round game against HettingerScranton, a team that they beat 7346 on January 28 in the regular season. In that game the Cards had a big first half, but this game would be exactly the opposite. The Night Hawks stayed right with LangdonEdmore-Munich in the first half, trailing just 24-20 at the half. Cal-

In the second half the Lady Cards made more of an emphasis to get the ball inside to Freije, and she delivered with eight third quarter points helping her team to a 15 point lead at 41-26. The Cardinals defense took it from there, as they forced the Night Hawks into 24 turnovers and held them to just 16 points in the second half.

Freije had 18 points and Ronningen 17 to lead the Cardinals in scoring, while Kaylee Lowery pulled down seven rebounds in the victory. Ronningen also had five steals and two blocked shots. Alyssa Andress led H-S with 14 points.

In this game the Lady Cards would get off to a fast start, with Callie Ronningen starting the game on fire by hitting her first four shots including two 3-pointers to help give her team an 18-8 lead after the first quarter.

But this game would change in the second when both Ronningen and Kaylee Lowery picked up three first half fouls which would mean the Cards would have to have some other girls step up. That they would, as Lexi Olson hit two crucial first half 3-pointers and would also have one of the best games of her career with eight points, nine assists, five steals and a blocked shot. Jaya Henderson came off the bench and also would play very well, hitting a second quarter shot from beyond the arc while also leading the team with seven rebounds while dealing out three assists. Like Henderson, fellow eighth grader Cora Badding was pressed into action and played some very important minutes. With contributions from everywhere on the floor, Langdon-Edmore-Munich would stretch out their lead to 49-31 after three quarters.

Scoring-wise Morgan Freije picked things up for the Cardinals

BOXSCORE

LANGDON-EDMORE-MUNICH 52, GRAFTON 41 G -- 8 15 7 11 -- 41 LEM -- 10 10 12 20 -- 52 Langdon-Edmore-Munich -- Callie Ronningen 20, Morgan Freije 15, Kaitlynn Scherr 13, Kaylee Lowery 4 Grafton -- Walker Demers 11, Carlee Sieben 10, Julia Dusek 8, Cassie Erickson 6, Cassie Sieben 6 Rebounds-- LEM: 24 (Ronningen, Lowery 7, Freije 5); G: 29 (Demers 12) Assists -- LEM: 9 (Jaya Henderson 3); G: 7 Steals -- LEM: 17 (Scherr 5, Ronningen 4); G: 5 Blocks -- LEM: 3 (Ronningen 2); G: 8 (Demers 8) Turnovers -- LEM: 10; G: 27 Field goal percentage -- LEM: 15/52 (28%); G: 14/41 (34%) Free throw percentage -- LEM: 19/24 (79%); G: 10/13 (76%) by scoring 10 points with Ronningen and Lowery on the bench.

Kaitlynn Scherr also iced the game going 6 for 6 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter. Despite the foul trouble, Ronningen still led the Cards with 18 points, while Belle Linnard and Jaylin Cotton each had 11 for Central Cass.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 52, Grafton 41 In the title game, the Cardinals met the Spoilers, who they had beaten 51-44 in Grafton on February 7. A record crowd at the "Betty" of 3,682 took in a very physical game.

The game plan early for the Cards was to go right at 6-foot-3 inch Grafton freshman center Walker Demers, but she was more than up for the challenge, with most of her eight blocked shots coming in the first quarter. So the Cardinals

hit two 3-pointers from the perimeter from Kaitlynn Scherr and Callie Ronningen to take a 10-8 lead after the first quarter.

The second quarter saw the Spoilers rise up and take the lead with six points from Carlee Sieben and a long distance hoop from her twin sister, Cassie, to give Grafton a 23-20 halftime lead. The third quarter would be a war with both teams playing very hard. The Cards allowed just one Grafton basket in the frame and got six points from Ronningen to get the lead back at 32-30 going into the fourth.

The last stanza saw the Cardinals defense, once again, rise to the occasion. A Carlee Sieben triple got the Cardinals lead down to just one at 36-35 with just under six minutes left. Two hard-earned baskets by Ronningen and another by Morgan Frieje allowed the Lady Cards to get enough of a lead to force Grafton to foul. The great free throw shooting that Cardinals fans have seen all year showed up again, as LangdonEdmore-Munich went 14 of 18 from the line down the stretch, going 11 of 12 at one time to win the game handily. They went on a 13-3 scoring run to end the game.

Ronningen had a game high 20 points and seven rebounds in the title game, while Freije had 15, and Scherr had 13 points and five steals.

Scherr also did a great job defending Carlee Sieben, holding her to 10 points, almost 10 under her season average. Along with her eight blocks, Demers had 11 points and 12 boards to lead the Spoilers.

Blades take home 3rd place at State Junior Gold Tourney in Sidney

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Blades junior gold hockey team, like the girls, were the third seed in the NDAHA State Junior Gold Hockey Tournament held in Sidney, MT, March 4-6. The third seeded Blades ended taking third place, beating Crosby in the first round 5-2, running into a buzz saw and losing to Watford City 6-0 in the semifinals, then getting a solid win over the Fargo 19U team 5-2, ending their season with a victory.

The Blades ended their season with a nice 14-9 league record, and they had eight seniors play their last game for Langdon Blades junior gold hockey -- Peyton Ullyott, Sid Ullyott, Hunter Feil, Logan Harder, Tanner Olson, Michael Kartes, Andy Muhs and Danny Muhs. They've all had fantastic hockey careers and will be missed.

In their first game of the tourney, Langdon jumped out with two goals in the first period, one by Peyton and one by Sid Ullyott, with Peyton getting the assist on his cousin's score. Cooper Zimmer would get a lamplighter to open the third period on assists from Feil, and after Crosby scored to make it a two goal game in the third, Isak Dease scored on assists by Zimmer and Feil. Pey-

ton Ullyott would ice the game with an empty net goal plus one more late in the third. Harder had 23 saves in the win, and the Blades out shot the Comets 49-25.

Not a lot went right for Langdon in their loss to Watford City. The Dodds twins, Fox and Jackson, went on a scoring spree after a scoreless first period, with each player scoring a hat trick, and each scoring a short handed goal late in the contest. This game would be a rough one with 12 pecalled, eight of which were against the Oilers. Harder and Dawson Hein combined for 21 saves for Langdon, and the Oilers won the shots on goal battle 27-26.

Things went much better the day in the third place game, as after a scoreless third period it was Christmas every day for the Blades in the second, scoring four goals, two from Peyton Ullyott and one each from Dease and Feil. Sid Ullyott, Olson, Feil, and Zimmer each one assist in the scoring run. Feil would get the Blades last score early in third on an assist by Peyton Ullyott, then Langdon had to hold off a late rally by the Freeze, which they did to win the game. In his final game between the pipes Harder had 22 saves and the Blades out shot Fargo 37-25.

Blades girls settle for 7th at State Tourney

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Blades junior gold hockey team had high hopes of a possible state championship when they competed in the 2020 NDAHA 19U Girls Hockey Tournament held in Watford City March 6-8. But, a couple of tough, close losses forced the Blades into the seventh place game where they won in overtime to finish their season with a win.

Langdon lost in OT 3-2 to Crosby in the opening round, lost to Richland 5-2 in the consolation semifinals, then beat Watford City in overtime 3-2 to get seventh place.

The Blades finished their season with a respectable 9-10-2 record.

Six seniors played their last game for the Blades -- McKenna Belle, Regan Hoffarth, Lizzie Muhs, Emma Field, Jessi Gellner and Savannah Ullyott. Despite the disappointment of a seventh place finish, the Blades still have lots of positives to look back on, like winning an invitational tourney in Bottineau.

In their first game of the state tournament versus Crosby, the Blades fell down 1-0 early in the second period before tying the game at one on a goal from Field, assisted by Alexa Schneider. The Comets grabbed the lead again in the third before Ullyott would score with just over eight minutes left on an assist from Abby Forest. But Crosby would win the game with 8:56 left in overtime on an unassisted goal by Gracelyn Nygard. Jaelynn Buckman played great in goal for Langdon with 43 saves as the Comets out shot the Blades 46-22.

The second game of tourney saw Langdon play Rich-

land, who was also upset in the first round. The Rangers led 2-0 after the first period, but fought back to tie the game with a goal from Gellner on assists by Field and Schneider, followed by the tying score by Taryn Romfo on an assist from Ullyott. Both Blades goals were put in on the power play. Langdon used a ton of energy to get back in the game, and Richland got the mometum back in the third with three goals to win the game. Buckman had another crazy 44 saves in this one, and Rangers had more shots on goal at 49-27.

The seventh place game against Watford City would be a battle, with just one goal scored by Oilers would make it 1-0 after two periods. But again Langdon would come back this time take the lead in the third on an unassisted goal by Field, followed by a shorthanded goal by Gellner assisted by Field.

But Watford City wouldn't quit, as they tied the game on a power play with just 1:10 left in regulation to send the game to overtime. The Blades would get the in poetic fashion with one of the seniors, Lizzie Muhs, scoring with 3:53 left in OT unassisted. Buckman had 29 saves in the win and shots on goal were even at 31.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Corona Virus reeking havoc on many sports and events We come to you this week with news to makes many of us very sad.

The Corona Virus, which I don't think we need to explain here, has been spreading enough for it to be called a pandemic, and that has cancelled so many events it's mind boggling, which isn't close to a strong enough phrase. The NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball and have all suspended operations until further notice, and right as we were typing these words, the March Madness Men's and Women's basketball tournaments have been outright cancelled. Things have gotten close to our area, and UND Men's Hockey has seen it's postseason tourneys cancelled as well. It's a crazy world we are living in right now, but I guess it's always the right thing to land on the side of precaution. Locally we were still heading to the Region 4 Boys Basketball Tournament in Devils Lake on March 12, but we have to believe the State Class B Boys Basketball Tournament March 19-21 is in big time danger of being cancelled as well, although that decision has yet to be made. No one thought this would ever happen, but here we are. Spring sports in North Dakota may be heavily affected by the virus spread, and after we have all these events cancelled and major sports suspended, nothing would surprise us happening from here.

Lady Cards relishing their second state title As I'm sure you've read in this issue of the paper, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team won the second title in program history in Grand Forks at the

"Betty". Championship Night was so full of Lady Cards fans that an attendance record was set at the venue, of 3,682 people witnessing the game.

Congrats go out to so many -- To Callie Ronningen for getting Tournament MVP and being named North Dakota Class B Girls Basketball Senior of the Year. Callie is now also a finalist for the 2020 North Dakota Miss Basketball Award. To Head Coach Rob Scheer, for getting his 400th career win in the title game with Grafton, and very deservedly being name North Dakota Class B Coach of the Year. To the Lady Cardinals team, we say it has been a pleasure watching you all compete at such a high level, and to finish a season unbeaten at 27-0 is a feat rarely matched, and you will now go down as one of the best girls basketball teams in Class B History. Just good times all around, and also in this week paper you can find end of the year stories for the Langdon Blades girls and boys hockey teams. We will wait on a boys basketball wrap up until next week. The Cardinals boys lost to Four WindsMinnewaukan in the semis of the Region 4 Tournament and were playing Dunseith in the third and fourth place game on March 12.

Men's Amateur Basketball coming to Langdon March 14 We leave you this week by saying their is a Men's Basketball Tournament coming to Langdon on March 14, assuming it will still go on as scheduled. Many players from past Langdon, Munich, Edmore, North Border, North Star, Cavalier and more will be playing the eight team tourney. This is the first time something like this has been held in almost 10 years, so get out to the Langdon High School gym and watch the action.

Don't forget the Barley Show in Osnabrock is coming March 21, and "See ya!" next week!

Public Notice

Langdon Long Ago

By Rita Maisel

March Madness Years ago we greeted the month of March by saying “in like a lion and out like a lamb,” but this year the month began more lamb-like and came accompanied by basketball and hockey games, players we cheered for, exciting wins and sometimes loses. Last week was another great win when the Langdon-Edmore-Munich girls basketball team won the state championship. The sort of euphoria that comes with a win like that carried over to the first games of the boys regionals and then the pressures of what announcers call 'March Madness' got to be too much. Highly ranked teams were out of the running. Teams that had struggled mightily began to be eliminated, and both players and fans appeared in need of a rest. The situation led for jumbled research at best.

This week we begin with an apology and a correction on the girls listed with the 2005 state girls basketball team. The comment on Danielle Veer was a case of me mixing up Danielle and her sister, Carlye, who is the family member who is a nurse. Danielle, pictured with the winning team in 2005, lives in the Langdon. She is married to Joey Hansel, and last time I saw them they were the proud parents of Kamden and Layken Joye.

As this is written, basketball is still underway, but some of the teams are almost too worn out to play their best.

There is a good possibility the Langdon-Edmore-Munich boys team has played and lost to a team predicted to win the boys state championship for 2020. The 2019-2020 season has been a year with many exciting games, and thanks to the various teams for providing hours and hours of entertainment.

Yes, I am told that the track teams are already beginning training and that Jocelyn Dinius, who was an important part of several teams during her high school years, is winning honors for NDSU track these days. When not running, jumping or pole-vaulting, I understand Jocelyn is studying to be a dietician.

While listening to the recent games and reading about the various teams playing at district, regional and state events, I found it necessary to read a lot of the coverage several times in part because of the names. A problem for someone who normally tries to spell names correctly is that the names of present-day team players appear to utilize every possible spelling for names we used to think were spelled only one way. Then there are the names for both boys and girls that long-ago people thought came in genetic format. That is no longer true.

Every so often you might find a team member named John or Mary or even an occasional Ole, but few if any Lenas are listed on the rosters even from towns noted for Scandinavian roots.

The names given to children today are creative, charming and inventive, but after years of helping elementary children try to learn to spell their own names, I can see problems ahead for a newer generation.

So rather than complain about hard to spell individual names, I started looking at the team names, some of which may sound familiar if you happened to have spent several generations in North Dakota. There are still Cardinals, Blue Jays, Trojans, Orioles, and Spartans (all formerly notable in the Cavalier County tournaments), but statewide today’s favorites are Warriors, Indians, Braves, and Sioux (all with possible tribal connections) and many Bison, Bears, Bear Cats, Cougars, Coyotes, Tigers, Lions, Eagles and Hawks. North teams get a workout as in North Star, North Prairie,

ABBREVIATED NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND ADMINISTRATIVE RULES RELATING TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION

North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT)

will hold a public hearing to address proposed changes to the N.D. Admin. Code.

North Border, Northern Lights, Northern Cass, North Shore, and Northwood. There are Dragons, Cossacks, Mustangs, Holsteins (their girls used to be called the Milkmaids), Royals, Imperials, Skyhawks, Woodchucks, Wildcats, Clippers (with a sailboat emblem), Wolves and Loboes (different schools), Aggies (formerly with a farmer emblem but now a prancing steed), Patriots, Polar Bears, Titans, Spoilers, Tornadoes, Mystics, Vikings, Raiders, Packers, Broncos, and yes, even a team called the Squirrels. Teams with Saints in their name may have an emblem that is primarily letters or an angel or a possibly a saintly figure. Thompson Tommies have a two-T emblem, not an animal or person figure, but if it works for them that is why they chose it.

A big change I noticed was how the emblems have changed over the years.

Growing up, I loved the bright red cardinal on the Langdon teams and the pretty Orioles in orange and black on Osnabrock’s uniforms. Now all the birds and other animals need to be fierce and fearsome. One of the most familiar road signs on North Dakota’s highways was designed with the profile of an Indian leader named Red Tomahawk, and only recently were those state road signs removed and replaced with a more modern design.

Many people will remember a grandson of the original Red Tomahawk who played basketball in the 1970s1980s era, and announcers would give his history during the games. In recent Hoopster or Miss Hoopster issues I did not find the Red Tomahawk name listed, but school after school have a similar profile as their school mascot. Several of the schools choosing this emblem are not on or even near reservations. Some of the other mascots or emblems need a bit of thought to understand how or why they were chosen, but the list is entertaining just in itself. Over the years these mascots have generated a lot of nicknames which tend to change with the times.

Hoopster pages and other sports books do include some college basketball teams, but much of the focus is on the high school teams so when readers inquired about college and university nicknames and mascots, I was not sure where that information would be located. The best sources, other than alumni, appear to be the library and the internet. Both have entertaining stories on this topic.

UND and NDAC both appear to have had football teams back in the 1890s. One book has a picture of a reported game between the Sioux and the Aggies in 1894, and it is possible the team name is wrong for both teams at the time the picture was taken

although they were known by those names at a later date. Other records tell us that the Agricultural College, being a land-grant college opened to improve agriculture in the area, was first known as Farmers and then as “Aggies”. Then in 1922 the AC adopted the Bison as their mascot, and teams were also called “The Thundering Herd” which bison personified in the pre-settlement era. There are still teams with Thunder in their names playing in North Dakota.

On another picture dated 1898 the NDAC basketball teams are pictured with comments about their dress – no pads, no helmets, almost no uniforms compared to the football team. The comment about their hair (not seen under football helmets) was that the team had a hair-style much like the top of a shock of wheat. The coach in a suit is pictured holding the basketball, and there is mention of a special player who had scored 90 points in the basketball season. Not quite the 1,000 several strive for today. On the same page or nearby is a picture of the girl’s basketball team of early days in long dresses with long sleeves, petticoats, and boots. Some girl’s teams (including one from Langdon) practiced outdoors. A later NDAC section mentions girls were not to leave the dormitory after 7:30 p.m. and shows them dancing with each other in a large room at the top of their dormitory. On the wall behind the dancers is a basketball hoop.

Mascots (often quite ugly) were created for both college and high school teams, but some schools wanted the real live animal at their games. This desire created a host of problems.

NDSU had a bison mascot who would attend the games, greet people and was asked to sign autographs. A name had to be created, and in 1991 this mascot was christened Thundar.

Along came ESPN’s Game Day which wanted a real bison, and one was located and paraded for the game and television viewers. That mascot now lives in the Wahpeton Zoo where you can visit him. He does not sign autographs. UND has changed its name several times as well being formally the Sioux only from about 1930 on and having several different logos before the one created by Bennett Brien and now no longer in use. Today they are known as the “Fighting Hawks” and their mascot, listing he graduated from Hawkacademy, will greet and speak with you when you attend their games. His bio lists that if he approaches you at a game, he is harmless and friendly. I did not find information on the Flickertail teams yet but am sure it will surface in the near future.

February 18, 2020 On February 18, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. David Zeis attended a portion of the meeting via telephone conference. 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. The Forest Stewardship Program was added to the agenda under old business. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Stanley Dick discussed various legislative options for changes to the Forest Stewardship Program.

Dick stated he would continue to work on it through the ND Association of Counties. Greg Goodman showed the commissioners the Razor Tracking system that had been installed in the Vang motor grader.

It was decided to put the other two tracking systems in the Sarles and Osnabrock motor graders, and put it on the agenda for the next commission meeting to discuss ordering more for the rest of the motor graders. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners to discuss preliminary engineering options for the County 55 project through the gorge. Stanley Dick made a motion to accept the low quote from NTI in the amount of $11,500.00 to proceed with Task 1.1 as presented, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Upon approval to proceed with Task 1.1, Nick Moser signed the Agreement with KLJ. Johnston asked the commissioners where they wanted to have the roadmen gathering in April. It was decided to have it at the shop in Vang. Excel timesheets for the roadmen were discussed. Johnston stated he had most of the formulas entered, but there were still a few areas needing more complex formulas. The commissioners stated they wanted to get all the formulas entered before any of the roadmen tried doing it on the computer. The meeting with the Water Board regarding the Senator Young Dam was discussed. Nick Moser and Greg Goodman agreed they would attend any meetings on behalf of the commission. Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney drafted a letter stating that if the commissioners and/or Water Board attended any meetings, it should not be construed as Cavalier County’s agreement to participate in the rehabilitation projects. Greg Goodman made a motion to send representation from Cavalier County to the meetings and to send the proposed letter, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. The commissioners reviewed the letter received from the ND Court Administrator asking

if the county wanted to enter into another funding agreement for the Cavalier County Clerk of District Court. Anita Beauchamp, Clerk of District Court, was in agreement to continue the funding agreement.

Austin Lafrenz made a motion to send a letter requesting to continue with another funding agreement for 2021-2023, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Josh Short, Weed Officer, met with the commissioners regarding the sale of the Mahindra UTV. Short stated the Weed Board may attempt to sell the UTV on sealed bids again, but if it is not successful, they may need to have a sale with oral bidding as set forth in NDCC 11-27-03. The commissioners were in agreement to have the sale during a commission meeting, allowing them to approve the bid if it meets the reserve the Weed Board sets forth. Crystal Beggs, HR, joined the meeting via phone conference. Gap time and holiday time were discussed. It was explained that employees working over 40 hours were already receiving comp time. Based on opinions given, the commissioners were in agreement to proceed with straight time being given back to the employees for extra hours worked under 40 hours at a 1:1 ratio, to include an employee that would have to work a holiday. It was suggested that the county put the straight time and holiday time reimbursements into the policy manual. The temporary pay increase for the Administrative Assistant in NDSU Extension office was discussed. It was advised to let the employee know that the additional compensation was for hours worked up to 40 hours per week. Beggs proceeded to inform the commissioners that she was submitting her resignation due to time constraints and stressful situations, effective immediately if the commission was in agreement.

Stanley Dick asked Beggs if she would finish with the hiring process for the Social Services zone director. Beggs agreed to do so. Greg Goodman made a motion to accept Crystal Beggs resignation effective today, with the exception of finishing the hiring of the Social Services zone director position, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. It was decided to put options for hiring the HR position on the agenda for the next commission meeting.

Austin Lafrenz made a motion, seconded by Stanley Dick to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: ND STATE TREASURER, E-911 EXCISE TAX/MED LEVY___13,203.63 ND ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES, E-911 EXCISE TAX____ 549.75 D & B MOTORS, SHERIFF________ _______________________39,550.00 CAVALIER COUNTY MVD, SHERIFF________________________ 12.50 NATHAN & LORI BECK, ABATEMENT_________________ 11,965.13 GARY & LYNETTE BECK, ABATEMENT_________________10,016.57 COUNTRY MEDIA, INC., COM-

Do you have a go-to card, one that you use for all your purchases?

Which card SHOULD we be using?

When you think about using a debit card vs. a credit card you might be thinking, Treasurer, this is a no brainer, I should use my debit card so that I do not build debt with a credit card. However, do you know which card is the SAFEST to use?

First, to differentiate how each card works. A debit card draws funds from what is in your bank account. A credit card allows you to borrow money that must be repaid. Some people get into the habit of using their debit cards to ensure that they have no debt, but here are a few reasons you may want to rethink that decision. Using your credit cards regularly has a few advantages such as; building positive credit, receiving rewards on purchases, and, most importantly, will protect you if your card is stolen.

Building positive credit When you use a credit card responsibly (meaning paying off the balance each month), this will reflect on your credit score. Having good credit can benefit you later when purchasing a car or a house.

Earning Rewards If you are going to spend the money anyway on groceries and your everyday purchases, you

should take advantage of earning rewards back. Most credit cards will give you a cashback percentage on your purchases or points, which can be used for gift cards or travel miles.

Protection If you were to lose your credit card, the thief would be spending the issuer’s money, but if you lost your debit card, the thief would be spending YOUR money. The Fair Credit Billing ACT has capped the liability of credit card users to $50, and most companies won’t even charge you that. However, if it’s your debit card that is stolen, you could be responsible for the entire amount that the thief spent.

Is it worth taking the risk of your debit card being stolen and having the financial burden placed entirely on you, or begin using your credit card for every purchase? I highly encourage you to make the switch to your credit card. Develop a system, checking your credit card statement regularly, or better yet enter each credit card purchase in your check register so that you can ensure you have the funds to pay your card in full each month. You will build your credit, earn rewards, and will be protected if someone ever tries to steal your information.
