In the relative calm before the storm of COVID-19 hitting the United States hard, nine Langdon Area High School (LAHS) students were able to travel to Washington, D.C. as part of the Close Up program. The opportunities given to students that attend are designed to inspire and empower them to become active participants in celebrated American democracy.

Close Up is a non-profit and non-partisan organization that uses D.C. and NYC as a classroom to allow student the opportunity to make personal connections with the people and institutions that embody America’s past and present. The group that traveled to D.C. included Abby Romfo, Dustin Gilseth, Kiarra Hodek, Calyn Crockett, Elise Ramberg, Megan Hiller, and Hope, Hailey, and Hannah Thorlakson. The chaperone for the students on the trip was Ethen Askvig, who enjoyed the trip and learning experience it provided.

“The students were great, making this trip very easy as a chaperone. Close Up holds teacher workshops for the chaperones at the same time as the students. It is always fun to see the sites and continue your own education and experiences while the students are doing the same,” Askvig said.

Askvig explained that the visit to D.C. coincided with the beginning movement of the nation’s response to the coro-

ing plan and implementing it.

While the teachers and administrators have scrambled and adapted quickly to this new way of education, families and their students are still making sense of life during COVID-19.

Several area families shared their experience over the past month as their lives were tipped upside down in a single

evening. Ranging in age from a preschooler to a third-year college student, the reactions have been as varied as their ages to the sudden school closure. Parents, too, shared their surprise at the decision and assumed it would be temporary. That assumption quickly saw them changing their daily routines to accommodate home schooling.

“None of them were thrilled about doing school at home.

They all liked their schedules, routines, friends, and teachers!

There were some tears from the

Langdon kids get Close Up with Washington, D.C. navirus. What struck them was the speed and movement of the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic by the closing of sites and the cancellation of the two days to NYC. “The students were in D.C. as the country was responding to the pandemic and witnessing the impact first-hand,” Askvig said.

the best learning experience possible.

The reasons for wanting to go on the trip were best summed up by Hannah Thorlakson as she stated that her reasons for wanting to participate in this program included: to better learn and understand politics, to see all the memorials in D.C., and to meet the ND senators and

The trip included five days in Washington D.C. and usually an additional two days in New York City. This year, as Askvig stated, the group was unable to attend the New York City portion due to the coronavirus pandemic. Hailey Thorlakson shared that the trip was extremely organized and proficient; the program organizers packed each day full of interesting activities to provide

house representatives.

The Washington, D.C. portion of the trip was held as usual with students being able to visit numerous locations including the monuments, U.S. Capital, Smithsonian museums, Holocaust Museum, and Arlington National Cemetery .

“You come in, you look, you talk about it, you see the background of the story and how it

Life in the time of COVID-19 for school-aged kids and parents It’s been roughly four months since the world was made aware of a new pneumonia-like virus that could be potentially catastrophic. Governments around the world have reacted how they feel is appropriate, including the United States. In North Dakota, the reality of the situation did not fully sink in until about a month ago when North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum issued the first of several executive orders to address the public health crisis.

“We remain in a state of calm and continue to base our decisions on fact, not fear,” Burgum said during his March 15 press conference announcing the closure of North Dakota schools. “We want to work through the situation, gain understanding and make sure we’re driven by data and solid strategies.”

State Health Officer Mylynn Tufte stated at that time that by closing K-12 education, the state was being proactive and aggressive in its approach to minimizing community spread. It’s now been just over one month since that decision was announced to the students, schools, and state at large. In that time, adaptions to school curriculum have been made with every school in the state creating a distance learn-

younger ones,” Koree Hoffman shared of her three kids' reactions.

The Hoffman's experience was not isolated as the Goodmans, Meidingers, Iversons, and Romfos all shared similar reactions. Parents shared that while their kids were excited at first about not having to go to school physically, the realization that it meant no longer being with their friends and teachers soon set in.

The change also meant figuring out new schedules to complete online schoolwork.

“The initial reaction from our kids was that they were a little nervous about it, and I think would have rather just gone back to school. Once the older two saw the schedule of classes, they thought it seemed a lot more do-able as they didn’t have each class every day. My youngest in 3rd grade was nervous but excited to try online school as they do quite a few things online anyway,” Sara Goodman shared.

Getting into the new normal of working from home took some time to get used to for both the students and their parents. Setting up work spaces for the kids to complete their work, a routine for doing the classwork, and the parents adapting cont. on page 3

relates to our political views today, “ Dustin Gilseth said.

The Close Up groups also met with their state congressional representatives, giving the LAHS students access to Senator John Hoeven, Senator Kevin Cramer and Congressman Kelly Armstrong. The students all noted how this interaction caught their interest and has made some consider possible internships within the Congressional offices of North Dakota.

“Surprisingly, this experience has intrigued me into looking into a future political internship serving with North Dakota leaders while still fulfilling my dreams to be a health care provider,” Elise Ramberg shared.

Hope Thorlakson shared that it gave her a bigger desire to learn more about politics and become more involved. Hailey Thorlakson added that the trip was definitely eye-opening in a political sense.

“It was inspirational in many ways. It was nice to see all the hard work that goes into running our government and country. This trip definitely empowered me to politically be an active member in my community, state, and country,” Hailey Thorlakson said.

They also participated in numerous educational breakout sessions with mock debates, mock congress and many historical and current hot topic issue discussions. Mock debates were held, and students learned about certain bills and the discont. on page 2

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Unique small towns in our state.…

North Dakota has three cities in the Red River Valley that border communities on the Minnesota side. They include Grand Forks-East Grand Forks, Fargo-Moorhead and Wahpeton-Brekenridge.

But did you know there are several small towns that also have the distinction of having a twin across a border. It may not be unique in the United States but it’s an interesting geographical perk nonetheless.

Perhaps the most interesting set of communities are the three that make up what is known locally as the Pembina Triangle. Pembina, Emerson, Manitoba and Noyes, Minn. are all within a four-mile radius of each other.

There isn’t much left of Noyes, but Pembina and Emerson are both bustling because of 24-hour ports of entry. It’s interesting how you have the community of Pembina, then there is an entirely separate industrial complex alongside Interstate 29.

It doesn’t hurt that it’s the first stop for Canadians coming into the U.S., or the last stop before Americans enter Canada.

Abercrombie, N.D., and Kent, Minn., are just a couple of miles apart. Both are very small villages, but you leave one, cross a bridge

and you are in another community.

Portal and North Portal have always provided a great example, not only of how two separate communities can work together, but how a state and a province, or two separate countries can work together for that matter.

Portal in North Dakota and North Portal in Saskatchewan, bump up against each other, both have about the same population and both, much like Pembina and Emerson, thrive because of a 24-hour port of entry.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Portal and North Portal is that you can dial a local phone number and you’re actually calling into another country – a local number with a 701 area code or a 306 area code.

Northgate, N.D. and Northgate, Saskatchewan are essentially one and the same. They just happen to have an international boundary running between them. There isn’t much in either community except grain and lots of it.

Ceres Global Ag owns a massive facility on the Canadian side and Viterra, a Canadian company, now owns the former General Mills terminal on the North Dakota side.

Neche, in Pembina County and Gretna in Manitoba are only two miles apart. Gretna sits right on the border and Neche is just south of it by 2 miles.

This is also a busy port of entry linking N.D. Highway 18 and Manitoba Provincial Highway 30. Ports of entry are obvious in either community, but the locals, most of them

at least, consider it one community since they are so close.

In fact, in 2005 and 2006, Brian Stockton started the Border Tribune in Neche that drew subscribers and advertisers from both Gretna and Neche.

Hannah and Snowflake, Man., are just three miles apart, but again, neither community is significant.

The province of Manitoba considers Snowflake a ghost town and Hannah has a population of 14.

Hannah had its 15 minutes of fame in 1995 when six Somali nationals sneaked across the border and were spotted in Hannah, in the middle of the night, in the winter.

They were all arrested and deported.

On the Montana side we have Fairview with a population of 900 and East Fairview in North Dakota with a population of 76.

These two communities bump up against each other and this time it isn’t a river between them, it’s nothing more than an imaginary state boundary.

Further south are Beach and Wibaux. In this case the North Dakota community is larger. It has 1,000 while Wibaux has 650 people. One isn’t immediately across the border from the other, however. The communities are 11 miles apart.

For anyone who doesn’t live in the southwest, Hettinger and Lemmon, S.D., have always been at least socially connected.

They are 25 miles apart, but share a lot of business, culture, school events and ranching.

The only other communities on the South Dakota border would be Ellendale and Frederick, S.D., which are a mere 12 miles apart but are one community as far as the locals are concerned.

For those who live in Frederick, if they want to do something on a Saturday night, they go to the big city of Ellendale with its 1,300 people.

There’s also Aberdeen in the other direction, which most of us know is the third largest city in South Dakota and a regional trading hub.

To Governor Burgum, While recognizing Executive Branch authority to act in the time of a bona fide state emergency within the bounds of the North Dakota Century Code, the North Dakota Constitution, and the United States Constitution, as members of the Legislative Branch, we are concerned primarily with protecting our state citizens’ rights pertaining to life, liberty, and property.

As you have said, the state of North Dakota is at less than 1% of hospital capacity. The stable and low number of new COVID-19 cases per day in the state as reported by the ND Department of Health underscores this fact, and removes any perceived need to continue select Executive Orders.

Executive Orders 2020-14, 202021, and 2020-21.1 particularly restrict personal liberty of movement

Melissa’s Musings

By Melissa Anderson Keep your mind sharp I’m not really a board games or games in general type of person. If I’m going to kill time I would rather not spend it doing something like shooting a bird at pigs. Don’t get me wrong, the entertainment value for that type of thing is astronomical.

Just not really my thing.

I tried many of those “brain games” that brag and promise to improve brain function with just 10 minutes of play a day. Yeah, those quickly get boring, and they increase the ad content until it’s pointless to play. That leaves very few options left for games that are both mentally challenging and non-intrusive. I know ads make the games free, but an ad after every play is a bit much.

I have always had a fondness for word and math games. Weird, I know, that someone who prefers reading over math any day likes math games, but I do. Except for Sudoku - I hate that one. A game that, I believe, combines these two things is Scrabble. The next challenge with this particular interest is finding someone to play with. An avid reader, I would like to think my vocabulary is larger than the average person’s. Big words aside, it's the uncommon words that surpris-

ingly provide the most points for the tiles used.

The best part about this game is that while I play I can also teach my daughter new words. We can practice her sight words and the letters that make them. The little munchkin is quite competitive, and I have high hopes for her to become a Scrabble master - or at least beat her dad at the game before she hits first grade. It’s the goals that make the game.

The new normal that we are experiencing is one of the reasons that many parents, like myself, have found ourselves trying new ways to engage our kids to make their minds continue to grow and develop. This, in itself, is a full-time job, and props to the many stay-at-home parents that have been navigating this for awhile now. You all are amazing.

Keeping your mind sharp is also important. So finding something that helps me to keep the electrical impulses in my brain firing at full capacity while also helping my daughter to make her’s work harder is a major win in my book.

So, while waiting for some good news rather than more bad news and the continued hum drum of the world goes on, find ways to keep your mind sharp. Board games, treasure hunts, learning how to successfully teach a little girl with an attention span like mine...are all great ways to not let the dull monotony we find ourselves in drag us down.

Write a Letter to the Editor!

Deadline is Wednesday by 4 p.m for the following Monday paper.

Dear Editor

and assembly. Executive Orders 2020-06, 2020-06.1, and 2020-06.2 particularly restrict the use of personal property in the form of business transactions between workers, employers, and customers. While these executive orders may have been issued with honorable intentions, they have resulted in immeasurable social and economic harm to families and businesses of all sizes.

It is imperative that North Dakota businesses be allowed to open their doors while encouraging them to implement safeguards to protect their employees, customers, and themselves. Failure to do so will likely result in many more businesses closing their doors and people losing their jobs. We urge you to rescind these Executive Orders, or at the very least, let them expire.

We strongly request that you refrain

from extending them or instituting others that unnecessarily harm the economy and prolong the phase of COVID-19 communicability. We believe any additional executive orders should be limited to lifting burdensome regulation and assisting the at-risk population.

Respectfully, Rep. Dan Ruby - District 38 Rep. Larry Bellew – District 38 Rep. Rick Becker – District 7 Rep. Tom Kading – District 45 Rep. Luke Simons – District 36 Rep.

Small operations making big impact

By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor Toilet paper may have been the first to disappear as panic buying took hold, but sanitizing products were a quick second. Hand sanitizer, especially, became a premium commodity, and supply is still not meeting demand as thousands seek ways to ward off the coronavirus. Now, local distilleries are bringing their expertise in alcohol to assist in meeting the needs for hand s a n i t i z e r.

The Langdon community was one such area that got a helping hand in keeping things clean as a traveling vendor brought large quantities of North Dakota-made hand sanitizer to town.

“It’s a service that’s needed, and we are glad we can help provide it,” Eric Aasmundstad said.

Aasmundstad and his wife have been traveling across the northeast part of the state from their home in Devils Lake distributing Germ Off hand sanitizer. Germ Off is made by their friends at Maple River Winery in Casselton and manufactured in Bismarck.

“They called us last Sunday and asked us if we could help distribute to the northeast part of the state. So we said ‘sure, we can do that’ and here we are.

This week I have made four trips to Bismarck for product, and it goes as fast as we can get it,” Aasmundstad stated.

Germ Off follows the guidelines set by the World Health Organization for hand sanitizer to be most effective during this current health crisis. It is composed of 80 percent ethanol and 2 percent safflower oil along with other additives that denature it, making it non-consumable. The Germ Off hand

sanitizer comes in a variety of sizes and is for sale.

“We go wherever it's needed.

People can call us to take orders, email us or whatever,” Aasmundstad said.

The government has also relaxed the regulations regarding the shipment of flammable products. This means that the hand sanitizer can now be shipped to customers and those who need it. For orders that are large enough, delivery is possible. “ W e have delivered to hospitals, nursing homes, counties, cities, state shops, wherever it’s needed and wherever people call from,” Aasmundstad shared.

The area that Aasmunstad serves starts at about Highway 200 to the Canadian border and Highway 3 to the Red River.

They have traveled from Langdon to Carrington, New Rockford and Harvey.

The constant travel and supply is worth it. Their most recent trip to Bismarck garnered only 250 gallons for them to bring to the area communities. Germ Off has received more orders than they can fill with over 25,000 gallons requested and only being able to produce about 1,800 gallons per day. They have dedicated what supply they can provide to residents and services within the state of North Dakota.

“It’s not even close to keeping up. Who knows how long this will last,” Aasmunstad commented.

There are a couple options for those seeking to place an order for the sanitizer. Customers can go to lonetreedesigns.com to place an order for a gallons and half gallons. The Aasmunstads can also be reached at 701-3512612.

Lending a helping hand during the pandemic

Like many of us, the coronavirus pandemic has infiltrated our daily lives in many different ways, near or far. While getting daily updates from the news or maybe even loved ones working the frontlines, many people are trying to find ways to help one another. After hearing stories about healthcare worker’s ears hurting from wearing masks for prolonged periods of time, Lori Peterson wanted to help. Scrolling social media, she recognized a headband with buttons as a solution. She sat down with her 3-year-old son, who picked out mix-matched buttons, and her 14-year-old daughter, who modeled the headbands, and as a family, they re-created the project. Now reaching hospitals in New York, NY, the hardest hit area of the U.S., the healthcare workers are saying “Thank You”. If you are looking for ways to help, consider donating to nonprofit organizations; support restaurants, bars, and stores that have closed; help the most vulnerable; and flatten the curve by staying home and avoiding unnecessary travel or contact with others. The group photo consists of healthcare workers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, NY; bottom left photo is Tate, Paige and Lori Peterson; bottom right photo is Marci Andrejko, Nurse Practionier (Lori Peterson’s sister). Submitted by Marci (Sondeland) Andrejko.

Taking care of you and your finances North Dakota State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt Well, here we are! As one friend shared, “I woke up feeling great! I’m so ready for another big day of handwashing and looking out the window!” Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected the events of these last several weeks. These are uncertain and ever-changing times, but I know we will get through this together.

Many of our family and friends have lost jobs. Those who continue to work face reduced hours or uncertainty as to how long their paychecks will continue. Buying groceries and keeping our monthly bills current is difficult when your household income has fluctuated. How do we best juggle the financial burden of

COVID-19, and what do we do now?

First, take a minute and just breathe. There have been many significant life changes these past few weeks. We are teaching the kids virtually, and teachers we appreciate you! The office has been relocated to the family kitchen table. Our business community has had to adapt or close due to the virus, and our lives are adapting to physical distancing.

Now, take that deep breath grant yourself some grace.

Next, it is time to prioritize expenses covering the basics of food, shelter, and utilities. Do you have credit card debt? Focus on just paying the minimum balance. Are you trying to pay off debt? Consider pausing that for the meantime. Do you have a car loan payment? Call your bank and see if the payment can be delayed. What extras can be cut or reduced from your budget? Remember, we are focusing on the MUST haves, such as your heat, water, and

the house/rent payment.

Do you remember the emergency fund we have discussed before? These circumstances MAY be the time to dip into that fund, only if necessary. You have worked hard to save for an emergency, and this would very much be considered an emergency.

Finally, do not cash in on your retirement. I know the stock market has been very volatile, which creates much uncertainty, but this is part of a long-term plan. Now is not the time to take it out.

One day at a time, one week at a time, we will all come through this.

Until then, we have much to enjoy, sunshine, a good book, puzzles, kindness, conversations, and dancing across the dining room floor. I am thinking of all of you and praying for our communities and our nation to recover. Stay healthy and stay home!

Take care of yourself and your family first!

May Gallaway

Obituaries

May Gallaway, 94, of Park River, passed away Tuesday, April 7, 2020, at Park River Good Samaritan Society in Park River.

May Bernice Olson was born May 30, 1925, in Milton to Peter and Tina (Miller) Olson. She married Melvin Gallaway, whom she was married to for 37 years prior to his death. She worked for Pillsbury Potato Company for 28 years until retiring and then ran a home daycare because she just loved children. The ultimate love in her life was children – all the children in her family and anyone else’s that she could hold and hug. No matter where she went, she was like a magnet for children. She also loved music and any

concert that she could attend. The church services at the Good Sam were some of her favorite times.

She also enjoyed dancing wherever family would take her. Anyone that knew her also knew that her favorite color was lime green. No one ever went on a vacation without her as traveling was more important to her than cooking a meal, her famous words were ‘as long as I don’t have to cook it’. On November 8, 2016, she moved into her new home at the Good Samaritan Society in Park River where she resided until her passing due to dementia. At her new home, she made many new friends that she called family and loved each one. She would often say, “Can’t I live here, it is so beautiful.” Prior to living in the Good Samaritan Center, she also lived in Grand Forks and Bismarck.

Surviving May are her children:

Judith Johnson of Grand Forks, Bonnie (Francis) Jelinek of Pisek, Mel (Jennifer) Gallaway of Bismarck, and Marge (Larry) Goethe of Mandan; 11 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; 10 great-great grandchildren; her sister, Mary Ester (Hal) Boyd; and 12 nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Melvin; son-inlaw Royal Johnson; grandsons Baby Erik and Jason; granddaughter Baby Jade; and siblings: Pearl (Morris) Stokke, Ted (Roseanne) Olson, Ella (Joe) Kram, Ann Olson, John (Peggy) Olson, and Peter Olson.

He attended elementary school in a one room school house in Viking Township and graduated from Hatton High School in 1938. He enlisted in the United States Navy in Dec. 1939 and after completing recruit training at Great Lakes Naval Training Station he was assigned to the Battleship U.S.S. West Virginia.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Justin Schnackenberg of Langdon United Methodist Church

2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

I don’t know about any of you, but during this time of so much uncertainty with COVID19 and possible financial stresses, I feel we all need a reminder that God is in control, including with our financial situation. I, along with many pastors, are not immune to these worries, not just for our church and ministry but also for us personally like many other people in our world today currently. As we consider our financial situations, God still calls us to give back to Him and his work in this world, which can seem confusing sometimes. Our attitude about money is established in our heart. How we handle our money is a heart issue.

The challenge for most of us is the heart is attached to the head, and the head is not thinking the way the Bible teaches about money. So what does the Bible have to say about money?

It may surprise you to learn just how much the Bible has to say about finances. There are more than 2,350 verses on how to handle money and possessions. Jesus spoke more about money than any other subject. Wow! Several years ago I starting asking: What is my financial plan?

Do I know where every dollar is spent? Do I want finances to continue to be a source of conflict in my life? Do I have a plan to get out of debt? What are my financial goals? In this sentence, Paul introduced a simple giving plan.

In this statement, Paul eliminates the idea of giving reactively or out of guilt. God knows that someone who gives reluctantly is still thinking like an owner, not a steward.

When you begin to embrace your role as a steward, you will be able to give from your heart. You’ll see yourself in partnership with God to accomplish eternal purposes,

and you will even start to think about creating a plan for giving. A steward doesn’t wait until the offering plate is passed on Sunday morning to decide how much to give; it’s something to which he gives a great deal of thought (planning) because it’s something that means a lot to the steward.

Planning is central to what the Bible says about finances. Excellent planning leads to excellence in giving. A good plan provides guidelines to help you navigate through the practical issues of giving, such as how much to give and when to give.

A great giving plan includes three P’s: priority giving, percentage giving and progressive giving.

Priority Giving: Giving should be a top priority in your monthly budget. By prioritizing God’s plans for your money, you avoid running short when it comes time to give to Him first.

Percentage Giving: When you commit to give a percentage of your income, it’s cut and dry. If you truly approach your finances as if God were the owner of it all, giving a percentage back to Him is only appropriate.

Progressive Giving: Progressively increase the percentage you give over the years. If you have been giving 10 percent for quite a few years, maybe it’s time to move up to 12 or 15. As your income grows, so should your giving. You may think, we can’t afford to do that! Especially right now during this pandemic! If this is your reaction, you’ve forgotten that with God all things are possible. Trust Him. Take the first step and sow your first “giving seed.”

I hope you are encouraged to give to God through your local church even in the midst of the current situation many of us face today. Cheerful generosity should be the backbone of every great giving plan even in uncertain times. Remember, excellent planning leads to excellence in giving.

District 10 Democratic-NPL donation to Cavalier County Food Pantry During this time of COVID-19, there is a shared desire to do something for our neighbors, for our communities. We want to help in some way and in reaching out were directed to give to the local food bank.

We acknowledge that, as our economy slows and many residents face lay-offs and temporary unemployment, we are there to support you. Following the words of Bill Withers song: “Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow, but if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow. Lean on me, when you’re not strong, and I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on, for it won’t be long, till I’m gonna need someone to lean on.”

Cavalier County Food Bank Treasurer Susie Borgan accepts a $300 donation from Charlie Hart, District 10 Dem-NPL Treasurer.

Walhalla Assembly of God Community Center making progress As the saying goes, “don’t judge a book by its cover” or, for that matter, don’t judge a building by its outward appearance. This observation certainly applies to the Walhalla Assembly of God Community Center building. In recent months, viewing the building from the outside, one might come to the conclusion that there has been little progress towards completing the project.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Due to winter weather conditions, stage one of the project which includes site preparation, laying the foundation and erecting the building - was suspended in December leaving only the siding to be attached. There has been significant progress on stage two which includes the building’s interior.

Some of the stage two work that is in progress, or has been completed includes: the framing of the interior rooms, stairwell and storage areas, roughing-in of the elec-

trical system, the installation of the heating furnaces, a telephone system has been installed, and all the windows are installed. Other jobs that will be completed in the upcoming months include: insulating and sheet rocking the walls and ceiling, completion of the electrical system including installing outlets and lights, and installation of the air conditioning system. The last major part of the construction will be the installation of the Plulastic sports floor covering.

A troubling issue that has arisen since the start of construction is, of course, the coronavirus pandemic.

The contractors have taken steps to keep their employees safe including not mixing crews on the site, each supervisor can suspend work if there is any concern about the health and safety of the crew, and communication between the contractors and the building committee is done by phone and not face to face. For safety sake, the building

committee requests that the public refrain from visits to the site while workers are present.

An often-asked question about the community center is when will it be completed? The answer is “it depends”. Specifically, it depends on how fast funding needed to pay for the remainder of the project costs can be raised. To date, the church has been able to raise approximately $240,000 of the $300,000 needed for construction, furnishings and equipment costs. To complete the work, funding will be raised through gifting by the congregation, grants, community donations and in-kind donations.

As Walhalla gradually emerges from the isolation and the financial and emotional stress imposed by the coronavirus, the Assembly Church can think of no finer, more uplifting gift to the community than the Assembly of God Community Center.

Brush with the Bunch

Leo Beauchamp has been ever faithful in providing creative articles for the Brush Bunch. Well, this time I get to provide a report on our reporter. Back in the early 80’s, Leo and Frankie, another Brush Bunch member, met at our house and at our kitchen table for Leo’s first painting day. He had finished one painting at that stage. That day Leo came with materials, canvases, paints and brushes to do his second painting.

His subject matter was from a picture of his grandfather’s blacksmith shop. It was a terribly difficult subject with perspective on the ceiling, tools all over the walls, a forge, and, of course, Grandpa himself. I had been painting for a while so felt I knew something about painting at that point but would never have chosen that difficult a subject matter.

It was obvious that Leo was destined to be an artist as he ended up with wonderful results, and I think Leo still has that painting in his possession. After his retirement, Leo joined the Brush Bunch in the 97-98 season. He has been a devoted member - helping in all kinds of different ways. He has painted more paintings in these last years than many of us ever will, and his work is ever advancing with creative ideas using multi-media. We thank him for doing the Brush Bunch articles which has made many of you acquainted with the Brush Bunch Art Group. The picture shows Leo putting the finishing touches on a painting he has been working on for his cousin, Bruce, in Clairmont, Oklahoma, as well as some of his paintings in his display area at the Gallery. Because of COVID-19, we haven’t met since mid-March, and because of this nasty illness that has taken over our nation, it may be awhile before we can meet again. That also means we have postponed our Annual Art Show, which is always held the first weekend in May. When we are able to meet again, we will decide how we are going to handle that. Leo will inform you when we get back to our normal routine. As Leo regularly mentions, the coffee pot is always on, and we love visitors.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Still riding out the virus in Williston We come to you once again, where I'm still taking care of some health issues my Dad is having, but still trying to keep everyone up to date on what is going on sports wise locally.

Not much to report on from out here this week, as things are pretty much unchanged, as I'm sure they are everywhere. One thing of note is the long time newspaper, the Williston Herald, which is a daily newspaper, has said they are now only going to print three days a week, on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. They plan on doing this the next few months, until businesses get back in business. This is just another casualty of this pandemic, and it gives us all a chance to say thank you to all of the advertisers and subscribers of the Republican. Without you, I wouldn't be able to bring you this column each week, along with all of the great journalism and features this

paper has to offer. One other piece of good news is that there hasn't been a positive case of COVID-19 in almost a week in Williams County, where I am currently located. That is rather miraculous being as populous as this county is these days, although many layoffs have taken that down a bit.

Let's move on and talk about spring and summer activities, some news of which we can pass along now, and more that we will have next week.

Langdon Country Club WILL be opening soon Let's start with news from the Langdon Country Club. After visiting with club president Kyle Rollness, Hey told that they hope to open the course around May 1, and that is not due to the virus, but due to lingering snow from a long winter. The club is still waiting for guidance for some new guidelines the course will follow to keep with social distancing.

Some of them are as follows: Only one person will be allowed on a cart, and they will be temporarily removing the benches and even ball washers to protect everyone. Also, everyone will just hit to the pin, and no one will take the pin in and out of the hole. We reached out to other area courses but we did not get a response by press time, but we assume they all will be following the same procedure. Men's and Women's leagues are to be determined depending on if things will be opened up by then. Also, it has yet to be decided if or how the clubhouse can be used during this pandemic.

Look for a letter from the club coming out this week which will define these guidelines a bit more, plus will have information on greens fees and league dues for the year. But again, the course will be open this season, contrary to rumors saying otherwise.

We will have more on the Langdon Country Club and other clubs in the are next week.

Spring Sports still suspended; Decision to come May 1 The North Dakota High School Activities Association met by teleconference on April 14. They have extended their suspension of all spring activities to May 1, to coincide with North Da-

kota governor Doug Burgam's Executive Order, and Federal social distancing guidelines. They will re-evaluate the situation for Spring Sports, Fine Arts contests and even the possibility of playing Winter Sports Tournaments (!). But, the only way all these activities will be a go is if we will have a return to in-person K-12 instruction, meaning that school would have to back in session in the schools for this to happen. Many people are praying that it will.

NFL Draft could be the most watched sporting event in television history Sports fans have been going crazy the last month, wanting badly to watch some kind of sporting event that isn't a rerun, or a classic game (Although is was a blast watching Brett Favre in a Vikings uniform carve up the Packers last week). Well the NFL Draft is coming April 23-25, and that will provide something for fans to tune in to. This will be the first sporting activity in the US of any kind that will deal with sports in the present, which should send the rating through the roof. Our Minnesota Vikings have two picks in the first round at numbers 22 and 25. The Vikes have several holes to fill after losing their starting defensive backfield to free agency, and also trading star receiver Stephan Diggs to Buffalo. It will be interesting to see what they do with the several picks they have in their arsenal. I, as a sports fan like most of you, will just be glad to finally view something in real time, so to speak.

Scherr, Ronningen and Scheer named to Lions All-Star team One last bit of sports news that was just announced before our deadline is that Langdon-Edmore-Munich seniors Callie Ronningen and Kaitlynn Scheer were named to the Class B Girls team for the Lions All-Star Basketball games, which will hopefully be held in Fargo and Bismarck in June. And Lady Cards head coach Rob Scheer will be the head coach for the squad.

We will have much more on the next time we visit.

Stay Safe! Stay Healthy! and "See ya!" next week!

Anitha Chirumamilla Ag & Natural Resources Agent Cavalier County Extension

Pesticide Certification Deadline Extended Gov. Doug Burgum has issued an executive order that suspends the April 1, 2020, expiration of commercial, public and private pesticide applicator certifications under North Dakota Century Code 4.133 for the duration of the declared state of public health emergency.

This waiver comes after North Dakota State University Extension canceled its in-person training and testing sessions based on physical distancing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Applicators and dealers who were certified through April 1, 2020, retain their status and now have until the end of the public health emergency to take the appropriate refresher training to renew their certificates.

NDSU Extension has been offering online renewal options for commercial, public and dealers, and more are being scheduled for those whose certification expired April 1. For the Private Applicator recertifications, NDSU is offering online Zoom trainings that will allow participation from the home, shop, or other places of business

with an internet-capable Android smartphone, Apple device, or computer. This event is NOT available from NDSU Extension County Offices. These trainings allow for a full three-year certificate.

If you cannot make one of these trainings, your certification will be expired at the end of the public health emergency and you will need to contact your local Extension office to take a test to remain in compliance.

Feel free to contact the Cavalier County NDSU Extension Office if you have any questions regarding this process or the training itself.

On behalf of the entire NDSU community, we send our wishes for your good health and patience as we work through this situation.

For any further questions, feel free to contact Andrew Thostenson.

NDSU Extension, FSA to Host Webinar Series The webinars will provide information on FSA programs still available to producers

NDSU Photo Producers and others involved in agriculture will have an opportunity to learn about the programs still available to them during a webinar series that North Dakota State University Extension and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) are hosting beginning Wednesday, April 15.

“Spring is a busy time for all of us involved in agriculture,” says Lindsey Abentroth, public affairs/ outreach specialist with the North Dakota FSA office. “While 2020 has brought unique challenges, those in the agriculture sector continue to provide important services. This applies to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency also as we face these unique times of remotely serving producers because of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The webinar series will highlight some of the available programs and the sign-up processes, along with the latest information on how FSA still is open for business and serving customers safely and remotely while USDA Service Center doors remain locked during this time of social distancing.

“The webinar will provide pro-

ducers with the opportunity to learn more about programs that have the potential to improve their operations’ environmental stewardship and/or economic stability,” says Miranda Meehan, Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist.

The dates and times of the webinars and the topics that will be covered are: • Wednesday, April 15, at 11 a.m.

(CDT) - conservation programs including Soil Health Income Protection Program (SHIPP), Grassland Reserve Program, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CCRP) • Wednesday, April 22, at 11 a.m.

(CDT) - FSA loan programs including Farm Storage Facility Loans (FSFL), Marketing Assistance Loans (MAL), and Direct and Guaranteed Loans • Wednesday, April 29, at 11 a.m.

Public Notice

Cavalier County Republican

Tax commissioner provides relief for additional tax deadlines Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger announced expanded additional key income tax filing and payment relief for individuals, trusts, estates, and business entities, closely following the IRS extension declaration.

Last month, Rauschenberger announced that taxpayers generally have until July 15, 2020 to pay North Dakota income taxes originally due April 15.

This notice expands this relief to additional returns, tax payments and other actions. The extensions generally now apply to all taxpayers that have a filing or payment deadline falling on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020. Individuals, trusts, estates, and business entities qualify for the extra time.

This extension also provides relief to estimated tax payments due June 15, 2020. Any individual or corporation that has a quarterly estimated tax payment due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, can wait until July 15 to make that payment, without interest.

“This helps provide additional relief and keeps North Dakota in alignment with the federal direction on extensions for businesses and individuals,” Rauschenberger said. “These efforts help keep people safe and give them time to manage their lives and businesses during this time of changing COVID-19 impacts.”

Extensions for the 2019 tax year filing and payment due dates for certain affected taxpayers are indicated below: GENERAL INCOME TAXPAYERS: Individuals and businesses who

are unable to file an income tax return or pay the tax by the April 15 deadline, can file and make payment through July 15, 2020, without penalty and interest.

Filers with first quarter estimated tax payments due April 15, and second quarter estimated tax payments due June 15, can make payment through July 15, 2020, without interest.

Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call us to qualify for this automatic waiver of penalty

and interest.

BUSINESS INCOME TAXPAYERS: Filers with return filing and payment due dates falling between April 1 and July 15, 2020, can file and make payment through July 15, 2020, without penalty or interest.

Visit the Office of State Tax Commissioner COVID-19 Tax Guidance for more information.

By Rita Maisel

The Corona Virus War The title this week came from today’s early morning radio programs which give the daily new cases, the deaths in far away cities and many other timely bits of information.

This is not a topic I would choose to write about for a column designed to remind people of happier events!

However, in dealing with history it does sometimes seem necessary to record life as it happens.

Yesterday was an almost normal Easter Sunday if viewed from the calendar, except that some of us slept through the time for normal sunrise services and Easter breakfasts with traditional family favorites or maybe pancakes between the church services. With orders to stay home, those without a household of small children anxious for

Cavalier County Republican

their annual Easter treats knew that church services would be broadcast by radio, television and internet whenever we got up. In the meantime generous rabbit helpers shared with baskets for little ones and goodies or even whole dinners for those shut-in by the isolation rules.

Special thanks to the couple who included me on their route of deliveries which was delicious and ample enough for extra snacks and meals.

Even the weather cooperated by not dropping the flakes until bedtime or later.

After listening to our favorite Easter hymns and in several cases more than one Easter service, we went back to our sheltering in place activities while the media featured new and repeating advice until you thought you had it all down pat – only to find out the next day that the dangers are increasing beyond any limits we might have envisioned.

In my mind North Dakota people are reacting in a very understandable way. They try to do the essential, to listen to the new rules and to

Langdon Long Ago

not give up hope. Most are resigned to quarantine status. We make lists for errands and groceries in case someone else needs to be asked to help with those details and attempt to keep to normal schedules. Even though my handwriting is sometimes (often!) illegible, I try to write letters to relatives and old friends.

Some of them respond by telephone which is also very nice and some write in return. We do not share hugs in the grocery store or post office or when meeting friends on the street and wash our hands dozens of times a day whether we think they need it or not! Hand lotion may be another item soon in short supply. Masks are not comfortable, but if they help contain the virus we will learn to wear them.

I have learned that life in Arizona and Texas is not as strict as here but possibly will be soon. Friends who are not snowbirds but do live in Texas often mention day trips to other states or the Galveston area (a drive of about two hours) to spend the day at the beach. Last week

that was their destination with major shopping in mind en route, a delicious lunch on the ferry to Galveston and then relaxing in the sun. They made the trip but had to settle for take out lunch from McDonald’s, not getting out of the car on the ferry, no shopping and only a glimpse of the beach from a distance. Relatives in Colorado are doing well although some are working in medical fields that deal with less than adequate supplies and personal safety.

If there are rays of sunshine in the isolation rules and lack of normal 'free to go and do what we want and when we want', that sunshine would be from the local attitude that we are all in the same boat.

Families reach out to each other and to friends. Personally I have appreciated the people who call and ask if I need help. Of course I would rather examine the groceries for my own preference or brand, run to the post office or library at the drop of a hat, or visit friends without having to watch out for social distancing but all of us do make sacrifices for emergencies.

When the pandemic began I wrote a column which is now locked in a computer I cannot access. It was not printed because it might have added to fear in the community where things were changing too fast. However, some of the story details are surfacing in daily news. In those notes I had written about the flu epidemic of 1918 where the casualties from the epidemic outweighed the casualties from the battlefield. As many as 100 deaths in a single day were recorded both in battlefield hospitals and in training camps hurriedly set up in vacant buildings near training camps like the one set up in UND buildings. Local newspapers had so many obituaries on the front page that some patrons dropped their subscriptions claiming the papers were “too sad to read”. Media made a lot of references to that time today with the added notes that vaccines were discovered which

protect many of us today.

A second round of epidemic deaths mentioned from years ago are the polio deaths of the early 1920s that continued into the 1950s before the first Salk and Sabin vaccines were discovered which have saved many thousands of lives of Americans. A century ago polio was thought to have come from swimming in infected waters. One of my mother’s sisters was working at a bank in a small town near Rugby when she came down with polio. She was taken to Rugby, but the hospital there had no polio facilities so my grandmother and another aunt rode the train from Osnabrock to Rugby to be with her the last two weeks of her life. That was the best that could be done in 1921. While doing sports research this winter I ran across the story of the NDSU Bison back in 1948. They were still the AC rather than SU but had a football team they felt special. Because of polio the football season did not begin until November. In spite of the vaccines there are countries today where polio is still a frequent cause of death. New strains spread easily and more often to people who have been weakened by flu or virus flareups. On the global health front we are waging a battle which currently seems to be unending.

Each of us in our own little corners are involved in the emergency in our own way. We did not cause it, and individually we cannot stop it. We feel that where we had first been casual bystanders overnight we were suddenly now caught up in world-changing events. Working together most of us will survive.

And in the meantime reaching out to those around us, plus our prayers and a positive attitude, will make things better for all of us.

Correction to last week’s triplet story The Rose triplets are the grandkids of Edwin and Edna Rose not Joe Althea Koehmstedt Rose. Sorry for the mistake.
