April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Its focus is to recognize the importance of families and communities working together to strengthen families in order to prevent child abuse and neglect. There are many local, state, and federal services and agencies involved with child abuse prevention.

NDSU Family and Community Wellness Agent Katie Henry shared a wealth of information in her April 5th column in the Republican, including the six protective factors of family wellbeing from www.childwelfare. gov, the NDSU Parent and Family Resource Center, and the Pinwheels for Prevention © campaign seen on the south side of the courthouse.

“The pinwheels are a symbol to represent childhood hope and happiness and bring smiles to children’s faces,” said Henry.

“Each pinwheel has a message on the stem that says Every Child Matters.” There are free pinwheels (while supplies last) on a table outside the Extension office for anyone to take for their yard to show their support in the fight to end child abuse. You will also find many free printed brochures for families to take that include topics such as discipline techniques, single parenting, tips for different situations, how to deal with crying and tantrums, co-parenting, and more.

“If families are given the tools they need in order to cope and

adapt to the needs of the family,” said Henry, “they are more likely to succeed as a family and that includes avoiding child abuse.”

The NDSU Parent and Family Resource Center offers support to families in the form of publications, webinars, and classes such as “Active Parenting” and “Parents Forever”. A parent or caregiver in need of classes can contact the local Extension office at 256-2560 or email

katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu for more information about classes.

There are 11,000 to 13,000 livestock producers in North Dakota, according to Goehring, but he said it is not uncommon for most farmers to have some animals.

“Adverse childhood experiences greatly affect children, and the cycle of abuse can continue,” said Henry, “With the protective factors of nurturing and attachment, knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development, parental resilience, social connections, concrete supports for parents, and social and emotional competence of children, that cycle can be broken, and

Family and community support is also available from the Cavalier County Health District located in the courthouse. CCHD strives to have children grow up in the healthiest and safest environment possible.

“We promote programs and education for parents and families which help to create nurturing environments in which children can learn and grow,” said Public Health Nurse Steph Welsh. “A great example of such a program would be North Dakota Human Services' Parents Lead program, an evidencebased prevention program that provides parents and caregivers with a wide variety of tools and resources to support them in creating a safe environment for their children that promotes behavioral health, a state of mental/emotional being, and/ or choices and actions that affect wellness.” Parents Lead can be found online at www.parentslead.org.

CCHD supports families through offering childhood screening programs, such as the Right Tracks and Health Tracks programs, in which children are screened for developmental and health issues. Parents are provided education about age-appropriate expectations and have opportunities to ask for parentfamilies can interact in a healthy ing advice. way.

Langdon Baseball improvements needed

By Jared Entzi Republican Writer The Legion baseball diamond is undergoing the start of phase 1 in the plan to rejuvenate the field. First in this plan is to replace the pitcher mound with an artificial mound. This improvement will be well-received by players, and facility members who maintain the field as artificial mounds require minimal upkeep. The community may see progress on the next steps of phase one, also, which are the removal and relocation of the current stands, the addition of a grandstand, and a revitalized fence.

This will require demo work starting with the netting and concrete shortly thereafter. Construction of the new grandstand would follow.

Phase two will be revamping the concession stand, bathrooms, and facility storage. Demolition of the current standing building and construction of the new building would follow.

Both phases are estimated to be roughly $400,000 in

total cost. Phase one would require about $250,000 and phase two, $150,000. This entire project is public-funded, relying solely on donations.

Legion Area Baseball Inc. has had positive responses and received donations from businesses in the area. Each donation will be represented on the rear of the newly built grandstand to show the support of those who wish to be a part of the success of this project.

The board of Langdon Area Baseball Inc. believes this project, once complete, will be a great addition to an already wonderful baseball program in the area. They are confident that a completed project will allow the new diamond to host future events and bring in players from across the state for larger events.

Online donations can be made through the Langdon Area Baseball Inc.'s Facebook page. Anyone wishing to help make their plan a reality is welcome to donate, and any donation would be greatly appreciated.

Langdon Area Baseball is planning some great improvements to the baseball facilities!

City Commission holds meeting

By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met for their scheduled meeting on Monday, April 12 at City Hall.

Tom Beauchamp, with the sanitation department, announced that clean-up week will be June 7-12. It was brought up that if individuals were unable to participate in clean up week, they could contact city hall for other arrangements. Beauchamp also shared that starting May 1st, they will be on the summer schedule.

Langdon Activity Center informed reported that the west side of the parking lot had become muddy and will need to be graveled in the near future.

Prices are being set for floor advertising, and LAC will be fundraising to accommodate the cost of the flooring.

City Auditor RoxAnne Hoffarth is being trained on house assessing. There’s an equalization meeting planned for Thursday, April 29 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall.

The Langdon Chamber of Commerce brought up that the new housing incentive would cause several members to not renew their memberships. They wouldn’t be considered local Langdon businesses and wouldn’t feel being part of the Chamber was beneficial. The next Chamber meeting is scheduled for May 3 at noon at the Eagles. The Chamber urges the city commission to join, take community feedback, and rethink the housing incentive as it presents. Susan Fay Crockett explained that part of the incentive was not a change, and the original incentive stated “local Langdon businesses”. The fact is the verbiage was there but not being enforced which, with the new incentive, it is to be enforced hence changing. The board tabled the housing incentive to take community feedback and consider what the Chamber brought to their attention.

John Metzger had inquired about having gun range authority for hand gun training and practice at the last meeting. Af-

ter review of the city ordinance, the mayor of Langdon can issue a permit that limits the time for firing weapons and is subject to revocation later on. The board agreed to check with insurance, as they own the land the range would be on, and to have in writing the rules and regulations.

Lance Schill came to the board meeting to inquire about what would be up to code and within city ordinances for his building out by the airport. With elevations in the land, hooking up to the sewer system was not doable. He requested to have a holding tank that would be emptied on his dollar and would be over 200 ft. from current city sewer lines making it be up to code for a holding tank. The building would still be able to get city water just not sewer. The City Commission motioned and approved Schill's request.

After working on a solution for two years, the board came to a decision concerning billing commercial businesses with renters.

The bill will go to the property owners with multiples of renters’ city bills. Each meter will have a bill unless one building with one owner has multiple meters.

There was argument before that everyone was being charged for water regardless if all that water was being used. The biggest bill for tenants would be that every renter would have to pay for garbage. The expense of garbage was questioned when some businesses have very little garbage. With that, regardless if a homeowner lives alone and is never home, they still pay the same for garbage as a full family household. This was the best way to keep it fair without weighing each renter’s trash. Letters will be sent out better explaining the new billing system. The board did say some fees from previous billing would be waived, and payment plans can be put in place for businesses needing to catch back up. More on commercial billing will be discussed at the next city meeting April 26 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall.

Dakota Gardener: Dealing with drought in the backyard

By Tom Kalb, Horticulturist NDSU Extension Conditions are very dry in North Dakota. Most of the state is suffering from a severe drought.

We can irrigate plants in our backyard to relieve their stress, but this can get expensive. Here are some tips on how to make every drop of water count.

The first step is to prioritize your watering. Young trees and shrubs get the first drink. These plants suffered shock when they were transplanted and most likely have weakened root systems. These plants are vulnerable and valuable in landscapes.

Plants in gardens and flower beds get the next drink. Many of these plants are sensitive to dry conditions.

Lawns are tougher. They can go dormant. Only under the most severe and persistent droughts do grasses die out. Likewise, mature trees rarely need irrigation.

Mulching your plants to conserve the moisture in your soil is important. Exposed soil can lose twice as much moisture as mulched soil.

Use wood mulches around trees, shrubs and flowers. Rock mulches are much less effective. Use straw/ hay or plastic mulch in veggie gar-

dens.

Now is the time when many of us go to garden centers to buy new plants for our landscapes. The drought we are facing today reminds us of the importance of selecting plants that can tolerate dry conditions.

This is termed “xeriscaping.”

Xeric plants can grow with minimal watering once they are established. Examples include daylily, coneflower, blanket flower, sedum, salvia, liatris, Russian sage, catmint and yarrow.

Use water efficiently when you irrigate your plants. Irrigate in the morning. Plants in the morning will absorb the water actively before it evaporates away in the midday heat.

Avoid windy days and hot afternoons because you will lose much of this water to evaporation before it is absorbed by plant roots.

Avoid overhead sprinkling.

Much of the water that comes out of an overhead sprinkler evaporates before it lands on the ground.

Aim your water at the base of the plants near the roots. Hand watering, soaker hoses and drip irrigation work best.

Adjust your sprinklers to avoid irrigating sidewalks and driveways.

If runoff is a problem (for example, on a sloped lawn), split your applications into two or more sessions.

The way you mow your lawn makes a big difference. Mow tall and let the grass clippings fall.

Tall grass plants resist drought by shading the soil. Tall turf naturally develops deeper roots. Tall turf stays green longer.

Don’t collect lawn clippings. The clippings will mulch the soil, keeping it cooler and reducing drought stress on the lawn.

Consider using a rain barrel.

During a 1-inch rainfall, 0.6 gallon of water falls on each square foot of your roof. That’s more than 1,000 gallons for an average roof (1,700 square feet).

That’s a lot of water we can use to irrigate our flowers, trees and shrubs. Collected rainwater is especially beneficial for plants in North Dakota because it is slightly acidic and will release nutrients in soil to plants.

This is not our first drought, and it won’t be our last. Even in a normal year, North Dakota is a relatively dry state. For now, and in the future, let’s make every drop of water count.

ND Parks & Recreation department encourages visitors to recreate safely The North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department wants to remind visitors to recreate safely during high fire danger conditions. The safety of the public and protection of the land, resources and facilities is the department’s top priority.

The department manages 13 state parks located across North Dakota.

Burn ban restrictions for each state park come directly from the county in which the park is located and can be found online at ndresponse.gov/ burn-ban-restrictions-fire-dangermaps. While restrictions vary in each county, most counties do not allow campfires during red flag warnings under high, very high and extreme fire danger conditions. It is also important to remember to stay parked on gravel or paved roadways in the park. Parking on the grass in primitive camping areas, at trailheads and in other grassy areas can cause issues during high fire warnings.

The department also manages the

statewide off-highway vehicle (OHV) program as well as three designated OHV riding areas, including Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area, Turtle Mountain State Recreation Area and the Roughrider Trail. The department reminds riders that motorized trails are not entirely free of vegetation and present a fire hazard if grasses become wedged in the suspension or undercarriage of the vehicle. The undercarriage of your OHV can get extremely hot and start a fire if driving over dry grass. Also, parking or idling engines and exhausts without spark arrestors may present fire hazards in our current conditions. Information on trails, including closure information, can be found at https://www. parkrec.nd.gov/business/recreationprograms/highway-vehicles-ohv.

Additionally, while users are out using the trails, the department encourages everyone to be safe and aware of their surroundings. Trail users are encouraged to let others know

about their planned routes, estimated return times and location while out on the trails. Make sure to bring plenty of water and extra provisions along just in case your trip is prolonged or rerouted due to changing conditions.

“We want to encourage people to recreate safely during these high fire conditions,” states Andrea Travnicek, Director of the North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department. “It’s important to be aware of current conditions and follow all restrictions and safety measures when visiting state park properties.”

The department continues to work with local, state and federal partners during the high fire conditions. For further information regarding fire status and burn ban restrictions, please visit www.ndresponse.gov.

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

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

It’s the smuggler’s blues…

We often hear about drugs or counterfeit products being smuggled across the Canadian border, but the business of smuggling people has been going on since early territorial days. Two of the best documented scenarios include Louis Riel in the 1870s and Al Capone in the 1920s. There are two other well documented cases from 1995 and 2017.

However, in the 2017 situation, some people were smuggled out of North Dakota and into Canada at the same time as smuggled in.

In 1870, however, Louis Riel, the founder of the province of Manitoba, fled Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) and was smuggled across the border where the community of Neche now exists.

In fact, it was pretty well-known at the time that the William Moorhead homestead, where Neche now sits, was called “Smuggler’s Point,” because it was a convenient Metis rendezvous point. They came from both sides of the border to trade at Smuggler’s Point, and Riel became one of them. Twelve years later the community of Neche was established. Riel didn’t stay there but went west to St. Joseph, which is now Walhalla, and stayed six months writing poetry and helping his friend, Antoine Gingras, at his trading post near Walhalla. Riel later went west again to St. John, but history loses his trail until he turned up in Montana Territory.

For Al Capone in the 1920s, it was more about smuggling booze across the border into North Dakota. He is fairly well-known for bringing rail cars full of beer and other hard liquor from Moose Jaw to Minot. He also smuggled people, including himself, across the western North Dakota border many times. It was easy for Capone because documents at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas indicate that Capone paid off the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to look the other way when people crossed the boundary.

What happened in December 1995 was very strange. To this day it is unknown who was responsible for the act,

but five Somali nationals walked across the border in the middle of the night.

From there, they hoofed it two miles south to the community of Hannah where someone saw them in their white robes on a cold winter night and called the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department in Langdon. They were taken into custody by Sheriff Dave Zeis and later deported back to Canada. It turned out they flew into Toronto from Africa and had someone drive them from a small town in Ontario to just above the border where they walked across. At the time, the port of entry at Hannah closed at 9 p.m., so when these people were seen late at night wandering around this small town of about 30 people, it was an instant red flag.

In January 2017, it was Nigerians who were involved and a Canadian couple who were doing the smuggling.

Victor and Michelle Omoruyi had a pretty good plan going until they got caught. Victor Omoruyi was a Canadian citizen of Nigerian descent. He would make frequent trips to Minot and transport Nigerian nationals from Minot up to the border on the American side of the boundary. Michelle Omoroyi was on the Saskatchewan side, waiting to pick them up. She would take them up to Regina where they blended into society, and Victor would then cross through the port by himself, and nobody was the wiser. Somehow the word leaked out, and the RCMP alerted the Burke County Sheriff’s Department, North Dakota Highway Patrol, and U.S. Border Patrol, and they were waiting for Victor and Michelle at their rendezvous points. As this was all mounting, a plain-clothed RCMP officer followed Victor from Regina, all the way to Minot (250 miles) and observed his movements. That’s where he picked up nine Nigerian nationals from a Minot hotel and drove them up to Northgate. They walked across the border to Northgate, Saskatchewan, where Michelle was waiting in an SUV. As soon as they got in the vehicle, she was surrounded by RCMP and Canada Customs agents.

There are countless other cases like this that don’t get leaked out to the media. When people suggest the Canadian border is safe, well, yes it is, most of the time, but law enforcement has to be there to catch these unscrupulous individuals.

The personal Constitution: Embodied in the First Amendment The concept of the “personal Constitution,” which we introduced in this column last week, is personified in the First Amendment freedoms, particularly in the rights of religious liberty and freedom of expression.

The exercise of these liberties summons the most fundamental beliefs that human beings possess.

The First Amendment affords protection for the component parts of the human spirit and the freedom of conscience — emotions, beliefs and reason. Nothing in the Constitution is more personal than this protection.

Various views and strains of thought were entwined in shaping the First Amendment. The Framers began the initial amendment with the words: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

Freedom of speech, press, assembly and the right to petition government followed the religion clauses.

The prominence of religious freedom in the minds of the Founders was understandable, given the fact that American colonists belonged to various churches. Recall that many had fled European countries to escape religious oppression. The Founders rejected in the “Establishment Clause” the very idea that government could impose upon the people an official church or even religious orthodoxy. Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Statute of Religious Liberty, adopted in 1786, formed the basis for the First Amendment’s

ing, education, grants and loans to help improve land access for those farmers and ranchers which amount to about $5 billion.

There is $10.4 billion for ag provisions in the bill, It has $3.6 billion for USDA commodities, $10 billion to purchase and distribute ag products and funding for ag and supply chain workers of 140 million food boxes. It provides $300 million for animal monitoring for SARS, $100 million to reduce fees on inspection costs at federally inspected meat, poultry and egg processing facilities.

It will gut state election laws, allow same-day registration with no ID. Every voter would get a mailed ballot with no witness signature required, ballot harvesting would be legal, use USPS addresses, allow automatic voter registration by multiple federal agencies without permission plus online voter registration, could add 16 and 17 year olds and felons to vote, allow voting out of precinct and counting ballots up to 10 days after election.

The National Farmers Union supports much of this and praises its passage, calling it a ‘lifeline’. There is more but it seems the liberals wanted to cover many things in this bill.

I am very glad that our Congressmen opposed it.

Senator Janne Myrdal R – District 10 jmyrdal@nd.gov 701-331-0946 It is difficult to know what to put in this report as we are at that point in Session where it is do or die for legislation put before us. This week we finished the last bills in Judiciary and started with conference committees. These committees last half an hour each and is for the bills that the House and Senate do not concur on, meaning amendments were added in one of the chambers that is not agreeable to the other chamber.

So three from each chamber form a committee to try work out the differences and then the final bill goes back to each chamber for a final vote.

Confused yet? Well, sometimes we all are as we go from committee to committee on totally different subjects all day long. However, this process is good for lawmaking.

This week most of the bills I carried on the floor dealt with 2nd amendment rights and protection from fed-

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.

Establishment Clause, and declared that no person should be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship nor suffer on account of religious opinions and beliefs. Congress, through its authority to enact laws, was meant to stay out of the realm of religion, leaving the people free to decide whether to worship and, if they did, how they would worship.

The “great object” of the Bill of Rights, James Madison had said when introducing his draft of amendments to the House of Representatives, was to “limit and qualify the powers of Government,” for the purpose of making certain that none of the powers granted to the government could be exercised in forbidden fields, including religion. Since Congress was granted no authority to impose religious orthodoxy, or otherwise establish an official church or religion, the assertion that Congress could provide aid to religion in general would mean that the First Amendment was actually “adding” powers to the congressional arsenal.

That view would contradict what Madison had said, that the First Amendment was intended to restrict Congress to the powers it possessed in Article I of the Constitution, and since it had no authority to legislate in the field of religion, it could not support religion on any basis. To assert that an express prohibition on power creates power is wholly arbitrary and without any merit.

The starting point for the freedom of religion, then, was found in the Establishment Clause. The freedom of religion, carved out specifically in the “Free Exercise Clause,” the Supreme Court said for the first time in 1940, in Cantwell v. Connecticut, “embraces two concepts — freedom to believe and freedom to act. The first is absolute but, in the nature of things, the second cannot be. Conduct remains subject to the regulation of society.” There is, of course, no need for

a constitutional guarantee protecting a freedom to “believe,” since, as the Common Law held, “the devil himself knows not the thoughts of man.”

The regulation of conduct in the name of religion will be addressed at a later date, but suffice it to say, that a citizen’s thoughts and beliefs are off limits to the government.

The intensely personal freedom of religion, exercised through one’s exploration of the universe and relationship to God, was linked to freedom of expression in the First Amendment, for natural reasons.

Those who discovered the path to salvation would feel the need and certainly the right or even the duty to share the gospel with others. Freedom of expression would serve both the speaker and the listener. Suppression would thus deny to both parties the communication of an important message, perhaps one critical to gaining entry to an afterlife. The concept of broader spiritual liberty was derived from a more narrow religious focus. Men and women who might not embrace a specific church doctrine would suffer a violation of their freedom of expression and spiritual liberty if they were denied access to other speakers and listeners.

The existence of freedom of religion and freedom of expression, born of similar concerns, are more intensely personal than any other liberty protected by the Constitution.

They embody the essence of the personal Constitution.

It gives $1,400 stimulus checks to those earning less than $80,000, $800 million to the Food for Peace program in 59 countries. There is $50 billion for small businesses and $28.6 billion for restaurants.

It extends $300 federal unemployment insurance through September, unemployment benefits, a moratorium on evections and foreclosures.

eral over reach that defies State law.

We are truly in a time where we must stand strong for State’s rights on issues varying from energy and ag production to gun rights and illegal aliens. We have passed more than a dozen bills to address these rights, - powers not granted to the federal government are reserved for States.

One of the most controversial bills this week, which brought hundreds of people to the Capitol and hundreds of emails and phone calls was HB1323, the “mask mandate” bill.

I understand the passion on both sides of this issue, yet the input from constituents was overwhelmingly to support this bill that would remove the mandate for an future event. I would say about 95% of those who contacted us asked for a yes vote. I voted for the bill as I think we must always be careful how much liberty we give up for safety. The bill was amended on the floor and passed as follows: “Limitations on requirements to wear a mask. A statewide elected official or the state health officer may not mandate an individual in this state to use a face mask, face shield, or other face covering. This section applies, notwithstanding authority granted under other provisions of law, including section 23 - 01 - 05 and chapter 37 - 17.1.”

HB1431, the Bonding Bill, passed and will be signed by the Governor.

It is serviced 100% by Legacy Fund earnings and so does not create any burden on the tax payers. It does include a large but final investment into the Fargo Diversion, which I have not supported in the past and reluctantly voted for this time as the rest of the bonding bill provides for much more than this. I am equally not a huge advocate for bonding, but looking at the forecast data it was clear that this will save us revenue in the future. Also in consideration is the $1.25B coming from the federal government. (I wished it was not coming as it will strap an unsustainable burden on our children and beyond). I will discuss the allocation of this funding at a later date as the rules of spending has yet to arrive from the Feds. I do know there was no funding for townships in the federal provisions, so we are still looking at $30M we will be providing for township infrastructure. It will likely be in the OMB budget.

There are several important aspects of the bonding bill that should be outlined. The most considerable portion of the bonding bill is $435.5 million for the Fargo Diversion. The Fargo diversion has a total estimated cost of over $2.75 billion when it is completed. The $435.5 million covers the rest of the state’s portion of the funding liability. $74.5 million will pay off Western Area Water Supply’s debt to the resources trust fund and be diverted to the Mouse River flood control project. These projects

are large expenses to the state and have taken much of the revenue from the Resources Trust Fund. The Resources Trust Fund has funded the state portion of these projects. This fund is filled by oil tax revenue from western North Dakota. Because of the large water projects currently being financed by the trust fund, there has been little revenue to dispense to other state resource projects. With the passage of House Bill 1431, the Fargo Diversion has been completely removed from the trust fund, and Mouse River flood control has been released for several biennia. This will allow for other important projects around the state to be completed in a much timelier manner. The Agriculture Development Center, which will be on the campus of NDSU, is being funding by the bonding bill for $50 million. This building is where farmers, ranchers, and others will showcase their products to other states and the world. The current building, Harris Hall, is outdated.

With the completion of this new Development Center, North Dakota will have a shining, modern facility to present its agriculture products.

With agriculture being the second largest industry in the state, this center highlights the importance of the agriculture industry. There will be $50 million which will be placed into the infrastructure revolving loan fund. This fund is used by political subdivisions to get loans at a low interest rate. The current loan fund has $175 million in it, and this will be additional dollars into the loan fund.

The larger the loan fund, the faster it revolves and more will be able to be loaned to political subdivisions.

The final aspect of the bill is a total of $70 million splits between bridge projects and a highway fund to leverage Federal dollars. This portion of the bonding bill is quite simple. It is meant to give our infrastructure a boost and to match Federal dollars to the highest potential. Some estimates have been calculated, which would give the state a 3-1 match with Federal dollars.

Speaking of Legacy fund earnings, it has been clear that constituents want to see investments into the state from the earnings thereof, so we are establishing a Legacy Fund Stream that will go infrastructure, economic development, research, and a variety of legacy projects yet to be identified across the state. More on this later.

We are in a stand still on bills dealing with the Executive branch’s authority during emergencies and I believe we will go right to the finish line before we can find a balanced approach where the legislative body can share this responsibility in extended emergencies like the one we have just gone through.

Once again I fear these reports get to lengthy, so I will refrain from more topics at this time.

Proper Guidance Leads to Big Results There are times as a parent when we need to pick our battles- like when you realize your child didn’t tell you where they were going, left the yard, and went searching for a friend… to get help with homework.

OR when they use all the tape in the house to tape string from one wall to another to make an “obstacle course” like the laser security systems ninjas have to get through…so they could “exercise” on a cold winter day.

OR when they break off half of the lilac bush because they thought the sticks they were breaking off were dead but really the bush was just dormant due to the winter season…because they were trying to build a fort out of sticks and snow like they had seen on a science show about survival techniques.

OR when you realize all the fresh fruits and vegetables are gone from the fridge within a day of purchase with the packages left all over the kitchen table and counter…because they are going through a growth spurt (and luckily chose healthy foods instead of junk food).

OR when they walk across the house in their dripping wet snow pants…because they are going to shake them out in the shower and hang them up where they can drip dry and it won’t matter.

How can a person get upset about those things when the motive behind them is logical and from a pure heart?

It’s sometimes difficult to find the balance between teaching a child the correct way of doing things and keeping your temper cool when things happen that you aren’t happy about, especially when there are not ill intentions behind the behavior. Here is the thing that adults sometimes forget: children are not born knowing everything. Children learn all they know through observation of others or through guidance and teachings from those around them.

Sometimes, as a parent, that’s a hard pill to swallow. Knowing that there could have been a better example or a different way to handle situations is not always easy, but the important part is that something was learned from the situation, and changes are made. The great

thing is that if we set expectations up beforehand and handle situations properly when they do happen, children are more likely to exhibit expected behavior.

Here are some guidelines to follow to help develop guidance for children: 1. Set Expectations Ahead of Time.

Have clear expectations before events happen. Be short, clear, and concise. Ask questions if behavior begins to develop in order to help the child think of what is expected of them. It will help them think things through on their own and remember the behavior that they are supposed to exhibit.

Example: (Before you go into the store) When we go into the store, you are to keep your hands to yourself and stay with me the whole time. (If the child touches something in the store) Remember what we talked about before coming in? or Are we supposed to keep our hands to ourselves?

2. Follow Through. If you say you are going to do something, do it. Do not make threats. Be clear about the consequences that will happen. Make sure consequences are easily followed through and are logical for the behavior exhibited.

Example: Please clean your room. If your room doesn’t get cleaned by 4pm tomorrow, you won’t be able to have your friend over to play, since there won’t be room to play. (Then make sure to follow through on the consequence if the behavior does not happen.)

3. Be Consistent. Children thrive on consistency and schedule. Keeping both of those helps the child know what to expect which helps them monitor their own behavior better. If they don’t have consistency or schedules, it’s difficult for them to know what to expect and how to behave.

Example: Same bedtime routine and bedtime every day. Same mealtime every day. Same expectations of what will happen when a certain behavior happens (not doing chores = lost screen time until chores are complete).

4. Give Praise When Praise Is Due. Praise does not have to come for every little thing they do, but often times people aren’t thanked enough. A “thank you” or a “good job” can go a long way.

Instead of focusing on the negative, focusing on the positive will have a greater impact to steering behavior in the direc-

tion that is most useful.

Example: You thank your child for putting their clothes in the hamper most of the time throughout the week (instead of focusing on the two days they did not).

5. Listen to What Your Child is Trying to Tell You. Sometimes, there could be a perfectly logical reason for their behavior. If you also show them that you are willing to listen, they will more likely exhibit that same behavior as well.

Example: There are clothes on the floor of their room instead of in the hamper. If the parent listens to the child instead of getting after them about not picking their clothes up, maybe they would come to realize that the child didn’t think the clothes were dirty enough to put in

the dirty laundry pile, to try to save their parent extra clothes washing that week.

There are some great resources on the internet to help you navigate the world of discipline. Healthychildren.org from the American Academy of Pediatrics has a resource called “What’s the Best Way to Discipline My Child?” (https://www. healthychildren.org/English/familylife/family-dynamics/communicationdiscipline/Pages/Disciplining-YourChild.aspx) that could be very useful to help you learn more about proper guidance.

We also have some publications here at NDSU Extension in Cavalier County that could be useful to parents and caregivers. There is a publication titled “Pos-

itive Discipline: A Guide for Parents,” as well as some flyers about guidance and tips for discipline and rules. If you would like to stop in our office to get some for yourself or someone who you feel could use them, you are more than welcome to do so. Otherwise, you can call our office 256-2560 or email katie.d.henry@ndsu. edu for further assistance in finding something that will work for your needs.

Even though it is best to start parenting a child with expectations and proper guidance, it is never too late to make changes. What you teach them early on will end up lasting a lifetime. Proper guidance right from the beginning can lead to big results.

Obituaries Carmen “Carmie” Amoth A private graveside service was held at the Hillside Cemetery in Walhalla for Carmen “Carmie” Amoth, of Walhalla, who passed away with his son and dog by his side on April 5, 2021, from complications of COPD and COVID. Carmen was born in Wales, the

oldest of six siblings, on February 25, 1930, to Chris and Clara (Kjemhus) Amoth. In 1951 he was married to Clara “Mickey” Agar Amoth and was a father to two children, Duana ( Dale) Gonsorowski and Karma (Charles) Senger. He was married in 1966 to Shirley A. Laducier Amoth and had a son, Jeffrey (Pauline) Amoth. He and son Jeff farmed together for many years. His favorite things were working at his farm and planting seeds of God’s word of salvation in Jesus Christ. In his

later years, it was not unusual to see him around Walhalla with his dog by his side visiting with neighbors and newcomers and spreading the word of God. He is preceded in death by his parents and siblings. Carmen is survived by nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Guilt is both the fact of having done wrong and the feeling of blame for doing it. It’s worst when the way you live leaves you empty, frustrated, and filled with regret, but there is a solution.

Grace and Peace to you from God, our Father and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

A word or thought that occurs probably more than any other in the Bible is the word, “love.” When Jesus is asked by a Pharisee lawyer (most important religious leader of the time) which commandment in the law is the greatest, Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

(Matt. 22:35-40) Luke’s gospel has the same story, and the question there is worded just a little different. The lawyer asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” The same answer is given. And then Luke goes on to tell the story of the good samaritan, the man who helped the robbed and beaten man that was beside the road who others ignored. (Lk. 10:25-37) What we call the golden rule is found in Luke 6:31. It states, ‘Do to others as you would have them do to you.’

In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13, Paul describes love with these words. “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” He ends the chapter by saying that faith, hope and love abide, and the greatest of these is love.

Contemporary artists tell us that, “Love Can Build A Bridge” (the Judds). Another song is Bette Midler’s “The Rose.” In that song she said, “I say love, it is a flower and you, its only seed.” Another song is Clay Walker’s, “The Chain of Love.”

In that song there is the line repeated, “Don’t let the chain of love end with you.” Talk of love is easy, but in real life it is something with which we struggle.

In 1 John 3:11- 4:21 the writer tells us that from the beginning of the world we were told to love each other, referring to the beginning of creation. He goes on to say that we know what love is because Jesus gave his life to show us what love is.

Next, he writes that Love comes from God and that God is love. And then those verses end with, “No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is truly in our hearts.”

I conclude by referring to a song I first heard years ago sung by Ed Ames, “If I Can Help Somebody.” He sings, “If I can help somebody, then my living shall not be in vain. If I can spread love’s message, as the Master taught, then my living shall not be in vain.” These days I can Google any of these songs and scriptures to remind myself of what my faith teaches. If you want a word to center your life on, try the word “love.”

P.S. Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can. John Wesley

Langdon graduate Todd Domres inducted into North Dakota Amateur Basketball Hall of Fame

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

Back in 2013 when Deirde Lee was director of the Chamber of Commerce, Greg and Patty Porter moved from the Walhalla area to Hillsboro. As a result of this move, the Chamber inherited a Christmas display of Santa on his sled being pulled by his team of reindeer who were in major disrepair (Santa and the deer). Well, guess who gets to replace, repair, and repaint all the parts of this display? WE DO, at the Brush Bunch.

There is an old saying, “If you want something done, ask someone who is busy!“ So, here we go again. The picture shows Ruth, Amy, Leo, Liann and Laurel painting some of the many legs and body parts that go on the deer and put them all together again. Each year, watch for this Christmas display; you may find it in the empty lot west of the Old Crow Bar, formerly McDonald‘s Bar. This Brush Bunch article is number eleven in a series I began in January telling our readers some of the projects that we, the Brush Bunch, have been involved in community-wise over the years. Laurel stated, “I‘m getting tired just reading these articles. I didn‘t realize we had been involved in so many projects!“ And we have, but I‘m not done reporting them yet. I could go on and on. We are a group who are community-minded, and one of these “projects“ is the Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale held each year the first weekend in May at the American Legion Hall here in Walhalla. There will be a sneak preview of show #49. Not counting all the planning, painting, photography, etc...our week begins on Wednesday - which is cleanup day; Thursday is set up day; and Friday we show our art and photography to the elementary students of Walhalla North Border School along with a couple demonstrations. On Saturday we have our last minute to-do list: coffee, punch, bars, flowers, candles and check our worklist and our own personal display areas. Then we will be ready for you, our visiting guests.

Remember, we cannot do this without you. We would like to thank Lucille Raile and Heddy Walker for the painting and craft books they donated to the Brush Bunch - much appreciated. Ramblings of an older mind: aging - eventually you will reach a point when you will stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Wales native and Langdon High School graduate Todd Domres was recently inducted into the 2020 North Amateur Basketball Hall of Fame at a ceremony held on March 27 in Bismarck. Todd was one of four athletes inducted into the 202021 classes, which were held jointly due to COVID issues in 2020.

Domres has quite the resume, and it’s no shocker why he was nominated. He graduated from Langdon High School in 1988 and was a five-time All-Stater for the Cardinals in basketball, football, track and golf. He was a two-time Class B Boys Basketball state tournament participant, was a member of the 1988 Lions All-Star basketball team, was part of two State Class B golf championship teams, and also played five seasons of American Legion baseball for Langdon Post 98. In college, Todd was also a fouryear letter winner in men’s basketball at University of Mary where he was a three-time captain and part of two conference championship teams with the Marauders.

Even with all these achievements, the reason Domres is now a Hall of Famer of the NDABI is because of his amateur basketball accomplishments. Todd had a 22-year amateur basketball career spanning from 1993 to 2015. He was fortunate to play the State Amateur championship game a remarkable 18 times.

Of those 18 appearances, he was part of a title team eight times in the AA division and four times in Old Pro. He is also a four-time NDABI Division MVP and two-time NDABI All-State.

On winning the award, Domres said, “Heartfelt thanks to the NDABI and the folks at Bismarck Parks &

Northeastern ND Heritage Association and Hallson Church, located at Icelandic State Park, are pleased to be chosen by Partners for Sacred Places of Philadelphia to be one of six churches to receive their 2021 folk art grant through the Nordic Churches Project. This cultural heritage grant was offered to Hallson Church and Northeastern ND Heritage Association, a nonprofit organization, because they participated in the initial phase of the Nordic Churches Project. At that time, they received a 2019 project grant from Partners for Sacred Places to replace deteriorating storm windows and trim .

This Phase 2 grant of the Nordic Churches Project gives Hallson Church an opportunity to commission new works of Nordic folk art to enhance the church and reach the broader community. Hallson Church was selected to receive the extended grant on its exemplary expressions of national and ethnic history and its interest in cultural expression through art.

Northeastern ND Heritage Association has an appointed committee that has commissioned four North Dakota folk artists to produce four Nordic artistic pieces to enhance Hallson Church and promote eth-

nic history and cultural expression through art to the surrounding community .

Northeastern ND Heritage Association is in the process of planning special community programming and events to augment the Nordic art pieces. Pieper Bloomquist, a Nordic folk painter; Dennis Schill, blacksmith; Rev. Jim Paulson, wood carver; and Arlys Sorby, needle artist, are the artists commissioned and recommended by North Dakota Council on the Arts to provide the selected pieces of art. More information about the chosen Nordic folk art pieces, artists, dates, and time of events to be held at Icelandic State Park will be announced as plans are completed.

A Saint’s Shout Out

By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School

Giving Hearts Day Keeps Going!

Giving Hearts Day has come and gone. The big day was more than 2 months ago; the thank you cards have been sent, and now we are preparing to make purchases with the generous funds you donated.

We thought all the non-stop, adrenaline causing excitement was behind us. Then we got a call from Giving Hearts Day. They wanted to interview us about how a first-year participating charity could nearly triple their match dollars in the first year! They wanted to know what our secret was to such notable success. This is especially humbling to us given that there are more than 500 non-profits across North Dakota and northwest Minnesota that participate in this annual event.

Our interview will be turned into a blog post in the future and showcased on the Dakota Medical Foundation and Giving Hearts Day pages to inspire and encourage other non-profits and those non-profits that are thinking of signing up to participate in Giving Hearts Day. But wait, that’s not all! A few days after that we found out St. Alphonsus School is the recipient of 2 Giving Hearts Day awards! As a first-year non-profit, we’re told

this is extra special. Our hearts are bursting!

Unique Partnership Award – we received this award due to our wonderful partnership with the Bread Pan Bakery in Langdon. Bill and Marie approached us and asked if the bakery could donate 50% of its profits to our Giving Hearts Day cause in February. They dropped off a check for $1125 that night! We are grateful for their support which helped fire up our community even more. Giving Hearts Day recognized this as a great partnership to foster relationships and community support.

Spark Plug Award – we received this award as a first-time Giving Hearts Day participant that raised $30,000 or more. We have dedicated this award to all of you – our school, our church, our community, and our donors, We wouldn’t be here without you!

This months’ long experience has taught us many things. We’ve learned about organization and communication and how to do both more efficiently. We’ve learned about ourselves as individuals, whether it’s members of the school board, administration, or volunteers. And most importantly, we’ve learned what it means to be humbled and deeply grateful.

We are grateful to live, teach, and worship in such a wonderful community and region.

Thank you!

Cards win two games at Shiloh Invite to move 3-0 on season

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals got the chance to get two games in at the Shiloh Christian Invitational on April 9. The Cards got two wins, 7-1 over Kindred-Richland and 13-7 against Thompson.

With the wins, the Cardinals record is now 3-0 on the season. LangdonEdmore-Munich was supposed to play at home against Bottineau on April 12 then Park River Area on April 15, but both of those games were postponed due to some snowfall that came to our area along with cold temps on April 13-14.

The Cards next scheduled game is at Cavalier on April 22, but things are going to have to dry up considerably for even that game to go on.

Here is a recap of the Cardinals two games at the Shiloh Invitational: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 7, Kindred-Richland 1 The Invitational at Shiloh was more like two Class B days rather than a tournament. The Cardinals played just the first day for two games on April 9. In their first contest, Langdon-Edmore-Munich got a sensational performance from one of their ace pitchers. Grant Romfo was hitting his spots well and throwing hard, striking out 11 batters while going six and and twothird innings to get the win on the mound. Romfo had allowed just one base runner and had a no hitter going into the seventh inning when

he gave up two hits. Simon Romfo came on and struck out Chase Miller on three pitches to end the game.

Grant Romfo also kept a hot bat going on the offensive side of the field. He went 3 for 4 at the plate and scored three runs.

Simon Romfo had a triple in the fifth inning while stroking two hits. Tucker Welsh and Mason Romfo also had two base knocks each for the Cardinals. Miller took the loss on the mound for the Vikings, striking out five batters in five innings.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich got things going right away, as Cooper Zimmer had an RBI single in the first inning followed by a Brady Regner double and a two-run Grant Romfo triple. The Cards led 5-0 after two innings.

A two run single by Simon Romfo was followed by an RBI double from Jack Romfo, as Cardinals built an 8-2 lead after four innings.

Zimmer threw well in the first four innings but got himself into trouble in the fifth when Thompson struck for four runs on three hits to close the gap to 8-5, but Simon Romfo came on in relief to put out the fire.

He also got out of a jam in the sixth inning with a pitcher to catcher to first double play. Carter Tetrualt, Grant and Simon all had hits in a three-run fifth inning, and Grant capped off a three-hit game with a run scoring single in the sixth to seal the win. Regner, Tetrault, and Grant Romfo all reached base four times in the victory.

Zimmer had two strikeouts in the game to get the win on the mound, while Simon Romfo had five Ks to get a save. Connor Welsh took the loss for Thompson.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Snow and cold put a temporary hold on spring activities Just when it looked like we were going to have a normal spring this year with numerous outdoor activities, Mother Nature decided she had other ideas and brought around 3-4 inches of snow to our area, plus freezing temperatures to go along with it. This has caused a number of outdoor event to be postponed or outright cancelled. The Langdon Early Bird track meet that was to be on April 15 has been cancelled. The Cardinals track teams are hoping to host a meet on April 22, but things are going to have to improve dramatically for that to happen. Also the Langdon-Edmore-Munich high school baseball team has had two home dates postponed, on April 12 versus Bottineau and April 15 against Park River Area. The game with the Aggies has been tentatively rescheduled for April 22 in PR. Golfing event have also come to a halt at least until later in the week ahead. It appears that once Thursday hits this week, things will be warming up for good which is good

news. The line everyone has been saying is "Any moisture is good moisture". Let's hope that is the case.

Langdon Country Club Spring Meeting coming April 20 Let's also inform you that the spring meeting of the Langdon Country Club is coming on April 20. All members are welcome to attend, and it will get started at 7:00 p.m. in the clubhouse. Tuesday Men's Stag Nights have also begun, and the kitchen is now open on Tuesday evenings. Be aware that Tuesday Men's League Golf is set to start on May 18, and please contact Randy Hill at 701-370-1118 for get your team signed up for either the 3:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. shifts.

The Wednesday Women's League will being the first week of June, and Jenny Romfo is once again the contact person for that. The course still does have some snow on it, but hopefully will be back into playing shape later this week. And like everything else, the moisture should be beneficial and lead to some fun golfing, and it was painfully dry before the snow hit.

Good news for Lady Cards alumni volleyball players in the college ranks Let's tell you this week that two

former Langdon-Edmore-Munich volleyball players are doing very well in the postseason for college vball. Sydney Ellingson, who is now a senior (!) libero with the University of Jamestown volleyball team, is the starting libero on a team that ranked number one in the country in the NAIA poll. The 26-1 Jimmies will get their postseason underway as the number one overall seed in the NAIA Tournament on April 17, as they will host the University of St. Mary (Kan.). If they are fortunate enough to win there, that advance to 24 National Tournament in Sioux City, Iowa.

Rachel Hill, who is now a junior setter at Mayville State University, also has advanced to the national tournament with her Comets volleyball team, and they will face Midland University in Fremont, Nebraska on April 17. This is the first ever appearance for Mayville State. If they win over Midland, they would also move on to Sioux City for the rest of the National Tourney. It just always such great news to hear about some former are athletes who are making some noise in the college ranks. Best of luck to both Syd and Rachel!

"See ya!" next week!

There is also a bid in the packet for the demoing of the old plant, to be discussed when we get to that on the agenda.

Sanitation – T. Beauchamp reported clean up week has been set for June 7th-12th. Beauchamp has hauled three loads of cardboard to Rocktenn in Minneapolis and one or

two more to go. Schedule reminder summer hours will start May 1st.

Crockett clarified that if elderly are not able to haul items out during Clean up week that sanitation would go picked up if called into City Office and scheduled pickup.

Activity Center – C. Graber reported things have been pretty normal. Nowatzki requested that there be some gravel hauled on to the parking lot where there is dirt; street or sanitation will take care of this.

Police – No report.

the housing incentive. The businesses that are to be excluded from the new housing incentive are chamber members and this would affect the chamber with their memberships.

Chamber board would like to invite the commission to the next general membership meeting which is May 3rd at noon at the Eagles. Also discussed was the incentives given for new construction. Tabled until meeting with the Chamber General Membership in May. Activity Center Floor Project – S. Crocket gave report that the committee met today and have the fees for the advertising set and letters will go out tomorrow. Graber gave copies of the proposals for the floor to the commission; FLR Sanders, Inc. $84,367.00; JWood Sports Flooring $93,570.00 and JWood Sports Flooring $89,900.00.

Gun Range – Q. Wenzel reported that ordinance 10.0502 states that the Commission can issue a permit that limits the time for firing weapons and is subject for revocation later on. We need to be clear that Metzger would have liability coverage in place; also check with our insurance provider and having wavers signed as to who is using it. So depending on liability insurance, basically we would draw up a contract with the limitations and make it an annual contract. Hoffarth will check with the City’s insurance company and bring back to the commission next meeting.

Johnson Control – Tabled for review.

Lance Schill – Airport Property – Schill explained the history of the property and how he came to own the property. He has been hauling fill in to build it up and is wanting to put in a 1,500 gallon holding tank and pump it themselves. The property is much too low to put in a lift station and it would be at a very high cost. After talking with some plumbers who talked to the plumbing inspector out of Bismarck, he stated that if your over 200 feet away from City sewer you do not have to hook up. His recommendation was to put in a tank and pump it yourself. Schill is still willing to pay for the City services. Busse and Rademacher stated after this information they are all for the idea of

the tank. Schill explained that the tank will be inspected and state approved. L. Henry made a motion to approve the 1,500 gallon holding tank second by J. Rademacher. All members in favor. Kaercher questioned Schill on his plans for the lot East of town. Schill explained that he has taken the 4-5,000 square feet of crushed concrete off the lot.

Schill gave Mikkelsen and Witzel permission to put spoiled black dirt or any dirt that they cannot use on a job site there to get it back to elevation for resale as residential.

Hoffarth also asked about the lot on 2nd Street and Schill explained that the lot is too small to build and the property owner next to it doesn’t have to proper paperwork to sell.

S. Crockett explained that the paperwork could be done and it can be sold.

Multiple Commercial Accounts – Hoffarth gave a list of all multiple commercial accounts and explained what Wenzel and Nowatzki have decided is a fair billing for the multiple commercial accounts.

We would be taking off the $27.00 meter/usage charge off of the rentals and all charges will be billed to the owner for them to distribute to whom necessary. The owner will have to provide on the paystub each month how many rentals are rented or they will be billed for the maximum units. This was tabled until ordinance is amended.

New Business: JDA Request – C. Goodman present to request $2,000 for the annual Music Fest Sponsorship. L. Henry made a motion to approve the request of $2,000 seconded by S. Crockett. All members voted in favor.

Hannesson 4th Addition – N. Moser present to ask if the city would be willing to sell Hannesson’4th Addition parcels #61075-61078. These are zoned R1 and this would need to go to Zoning board to rezone and then put up on bids. Hoffarth will set a Zoning meeting and bring back to the commission. Tabled.

Old Water Plant Estimate – J. Busse presented the commission an estimate from Witzel’s to demo the old water plant. After discussion it it was asked to get a few more bids.

Tabled.

Page 12 – Monday, April 19, 2021

By Rita Maisel

The Class of 1921 The graduating classes at LHS in 1921 and 2021 at Langdon Area High School have a few things in common. One is that each of these classes has a girl named Grace, and another is that there is a member of the extended Crockett family in both groups. The long ago class had one boy named William, and the current class has one named Will. I checked out the class from a century ago thinking there might be a direct line to one or more of the current graduates, but those were the only connections I could find. However, the 1921 class was an interesting group, and on the 100th anniversary of their graduation, readers may enjoy reading about them. We do know that in 1921 there were also graduating classes at Milton, Osnabrock, Nekoma, and Hannah, but the names of all their graduates do not appear in all the centennial books or alumni stories. Hopefully, you will find some familiar names in the listing which follows.

Several of the 1921 class went by middle names and listed their original names as a capital letter. So, the group began with H. Faye Bentley, who married classmate John Sandberg, and they spent much of their adult life in Williston where John was in the tire business.

Lena Mary Bisenius followed an

Cavalier County Republican

older sister of two into teaching and married a Brusseau from the Walhalla area – not all of the spouses had first names listed. Mary also dropped her original first name and was generally known as Mary Brusseau. She was still living and contributed to the alumni directory in 1976. Elsie Burnett, married name Epley, went west to California.

Clarence Charrier is believed to be an older brother of Louise and Louis Charrier, who were life-long residents of Langdon, and died in 1957.

Lydia Crockett Nelsan, along with other family members, used to return to Langdon for visits, and they are remembered as ladies with very chic and modern hats which they wore to church at Langdon’s Presbyterian services. Lydia passed away in 1967. Naomi Denler Reeher was also a member of that same church while growing up in Langdon. She made her home in Port Charlotte, Florida, where she died in 1990.

Mary Gellner married one of the Stremich brothers, and they made their home in the state of Michigan.

Lillian Groff came to Langdon for high school from the Mt. Carmel area. We did not find her married name, but several nieces and nephews claimed her as their aunt.

Emily Groom was the daughter of B. E. Groom and his wife, and at the time she was in high school her father was secretary of the Cavalier County Fair plus a partner in the Cavalier County Republican. When Mr. Groom died, part of his farmland was left to his son and part to

Langdon Long Ago

his daughter who by that time was Mrs. Frank Benson of Grand Forks.

In recent years, Emily’s land was still owned by the Benson family and rented to local farmers.

Charles Hagan was president of the class of 1921 and went on to make his home in Boston. We learned quite a bit about him when his descendants came to Langdon searching for family history.

Emma Hahn was the youngest member of the 1921 class graduating at the age of 15. She was a longtime teacher, Dresden postmaster, historian of all things connected to Dresden, and always a force to be reckoned with. The Museum at Dresden was one of her favorite projects in later years, and sometimes she would dress in long ago fashions for special events. Emma died in 2005 a few months after celebrating her 100th birthday. For several years she was the oldest LHS alumnus still living in Langdon in part because we had very little information on her classmates living far away.

Belva Holmes was an aunt of the Kruk family now in Langdon, and her married name was Mrs. Ray Nagel. W. Edward Johnston, another who went by his middle name, spent much of his adult life in Minneapolis. He was a cousin of Lucy Johnston Sypher whose books about Wales are enjoyed by local readers. Edward grew up on 9th St. in Langdon.

Stanley Karsky was part of a family with Czechoslovakian roots. As a young man he joined the Brothers

of the Holy Cross at Notre Dame and was known as Brother Marcian. He died in 1942. Susan Lane married J. E. Prairie, and they made their home in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Florence Livinggood was raised in Hay Township and came to Langdon for high school because she wanted to teach, which she did for several years. She married Elmer Crockett, and they made their home in Langdon where Elmer had a dry cleaning business, and their boys played basketball. I remember Florence as one of my Sunday School teachers. She died in 1946.

Harold Mausten may have been in the pool hall business, possibly with his brother, before moving to Michigan where he died in 1974.

There are several ways to spell MacDonald, and some of the families were related, and some were not. Christina MacDonald, said to be from the family east of Langdon, married John Anderson and later made her home in Green Valley, Arizona. I apologize if she was from another family. Lovisa MacDonald was one of several sisters of the late Stewart MacDonald. Visie had worked in cities but retired to the family home just west of the old Masonic Temple in later years. She was the last of the living sisters in her family.

John Milne was the son of a Langdon banker whose lifetime work involved managing stores. His wife was another MacDonald (not sure which family), and they made their home in Tucson, Arizona. Cecelia Nowatzki, married name Edd, was remembered as a teacher in earlier years and also settled in Tucson, Arizona.

Phyllis Opie was the daughter of W. R. Opie who began a photography business in Langdon when she was quite small. Mr. Opie took many pictures of Langdon and Cavalier County residents before his death in 1917 and, along with his son Ross, had one of the first radios in Langdon. Phyllis married a man named Schweiger, and they spent many years in Florida and Massachusetts but are buried at Lebanon Cemetery in Langdon.

Lillian Parker came to Langdon for high school and then met Ernest Peterson, a young farmer near Wales, where they raised three sons (all LHS graduates). Her grandchildren loved spending summers on the farm and when they returned for a funeral not too long ago, brought their sleeping bags so they could camp out in the yard at the farm if necessary. Muriel Radford, with relatives in the Witzel and Hope families, went on to marry Arthur Scribner.

Charles Ramage deserves a paragraph of his own. As the youngest son of J. F. and Ada Ramage, he became one of Langdon’s best-known residents. Charlie collected old

things and made all sorts of contraptions including a loop the loop which may have been part of the midway at the fair. He also wrote poetry, had a variety of businesses, and many friends. Charlie died in 1992.

Eugene Row came from the Elkwood area to go to high school and was in business with Stub Walker and others. He moved to Portland, Oregon, in the 1940s. Mable Rowe married Fred Anderson, and they settled in Moorhead, MN. Grace Rye may have been the Rye family member who married “Uncle Bob Mahon” from the 1922 class. Mahon nephews told many entertaining stories about Uncle Bob and his family when they visited Langdon in the 1990s. John Sandburg’s story is given at the beginning of this column as he had married Faye Bentley. We learned about John as he and Charlie Ramage were longtime friends.

Margaret and William Stevenson may have been siblings or cousins as there was more than one Stevenson family in Langdon when they were growing up. Margaret married Frank Baker and settled in Seattle. It seems that descendants of William came to Langdon years ago to trace their family who had lived on 7th Street.

Martha Thon Zamiara spent much of her married life in Chicago and returned to Langdon as a widow living in the house behind St. Alphonsus Church where her sister Mary had lived for many years.

Martha died in 1992.

Vera Witzel may have been the first sister in her family to come to LHS. Possibly, she taught for a time before marrying Roy McDowall.

Vera lived to be 103 – at that time a record for LHS alumni, but read on.

A. Miles Wold was the son of Dr. Wold who combined optometry and his jewelry businesses in Langdon.

The first Dr. Wold might also have sold pianos and musical instruments. Dr. Miles Wold followed in his father’s footsteps as an optometrist in Devils Lake until his death in 1959. Marian Wold, the only girl in this Wold family, also graduated in 1921 and then went on to the University. She went west to Olympia, Washington, where she became the Director of Child Welfare until her retirement. A number of years later someone spotted her death notice in a UND newsletter, and we made inquiries. Marian lived to be 104, and her earlier career had been in teaching. She may have reached or tied the oldest living alumnus spot for all LHS graduates to date..

If you count the names in the class of 1921 and later in the current class of 2021, you might find another similarity. They had approximately the same number of classmates.
