North Dakota State University Parenting Education Network hosted the third webinar in their five-part series Parenting in a Pandemic. The webinars are led by Erin Walsh, co-founder of the Spark & Stitch Institute based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This session shared supportive insights from research about screen time. Of the things that have intensified during the pandemic, screen time is at the top of the list. You are not alone if you feel both grateful and resentful of screens right now. You may appreciate the connective power of today’s technology, the entertainment, and even the diversion it provides, while at the same time resenting the limitations, what it doesn’t replace, and the power struggles it ignites. Media and technology are not inherently good or bad; they are powerful. Think about how screens are helping your kids through connection, Facetime, happy diversions, etc. Then think about how screens are getting in the way of their ability to stay safe, healthy, and connected, such as staying up late, feeling there is nothing else to do, overuse, and lack of physical activity. The goal is to do the best we can do right now to stay safe, connected, and healthy. Research has shown that too little screen time can be as harmful as too much. Mental wellbeing starts to decline at the
extremes. However, it is more complicated than looking at just the amount of time kids spend on their screens. It is important to ask how and why are they using it, how do they feel about it, and how much and when do they use it. The three insights that follow will guide you in assessing these questions. Insight #1: You have permission to pay attention to your child. Be curious. Think about
Red flags are when you see kids concealing or sneaking time on their screens; tantrums or escalating behaviors at screen transitions (if they’re getting violent you may need to reach out for help); screens getting in the way of school, socializing, or health; or persistent changes in mood, sleep, or eating patterns. When you see red flags, parental control and monitoring can be a useful tool but should not be
why you go to certain online spaces and what you get out of it. Why do you go there? How does it make you feel? Have you ever gotten help or support here that you otherwise would not have gotten? When and how often do you go there? Keep these questions in mind when you watch your kids online and how the media helps or hurts them. Talk to them, watch their behaviors, and notice how they are feeling and if they are having physical symptoms.
the only tool used. Walsh pointed out Common Sense Media, Circle with Disney, Bark, Family Time, and Dinner Time. While these are tools, it’s important to avoid the “catch and punish” approach to monitoring. It can erode trust and send kids to the darker part of the internet. Instead, talk to them about it first then install. Open communication is the best parental control. Be specific with expectations and skills. Instead of saying, “Stay safe,” explain what
Crockett earns multiple scholarships from UND By Linda Timian Republican Writer Langdon Area High School senior Sydney Crockett has always loved playing and performing music, and her dedication has earned her three scholarships from the music department at UND. The three music scholarships include a $12,000 Piano Music Major Scholarship ($3,000 dollars per year), a $250 Concert Choir participation offer, and a new $1000 scholarship from the Hastings and Geiger Cello and Piano Scholarship Endowment. “Sydney is the first recipient of this award,” said Dr. Nariaki Sugiura, associate professor of piano and collaborative piano at UND. “This scholarship is offered yearly to a student who is a cellist or pianist promising to be in the Red River Piano Trio, which is one of our music department’s leading student chamber music groups.” The Trio has traveled to offer musical and cultural activities in the state, region, and international locations including China and

Japan. “My music scholarships are tied to piano and voice,” said Sydney. “Piano will be my main instrument, and voice will be my secondary instrument.” Her goal is to be a piano teacher while still finding opportunities to perform herself and with other people. “I plan to major in piano performance for my bachelor’s degree,” said Sydney. “I will then
pursue my master’s degree in which I will major in pedagogy (teaching piano) and collaboration. Pedagogy is a master’s program, so it was best that I attain my bachelor’s degree in piano performance so I’m able to teach others to perform to the best of my ability.” Sydney started taking piano lessons from Lisa Schuler when she was in the 2nd grade in 2010. “Sydney was given 100%

support from her family from her very first lesson,” said Schuler. “They gave her the foundation that instilled a good work ethic when she grew older. Sydney made up her mind in the 7th grade that she wanted to pursue music for her career, and she has never wavered. A few years ago, when I knew she wasn’t going to change her mind about pursuing a music degree, I contacted Nariaki Sugiura." Sydney started lessons with Sugiura her freshman year. “This year, she has 2 lessons with me and 2 lessons with Nariaki each month.” It turned out to be a good fit. Sugiura said students are usually intimidated at first, but Sydney was different from the beginning. “She seemed interested in what I do,” said Sugiura, “and she began seriously devoting her time into practicing the piano from the start. She is an extremely intelligent, motivated, and hard-working individual.” A few years ago Sydney had the opportunity to teach piano lessons and found her calling. “I’ve always loved performing, but when I started teachcont. on page 2
to look out for. For example, no one should ask them to keep a secret; no one should promise them money, games, or treats; no one should insist on them sharing pictures or personal information. Monitoring is useful when kids first get their devices when they’re young. Sit down with kids and talk to them. Set limits and explain how not all places are safe. As they build skills and you see trust, you can back off. If you are concerned about what you see, think about ways to shift content, timing, duration, or monitoring of screen time. For example, “We’re not going to play that game, but here are the eight other games we love.” “Yes, play video games with your friends, but we’re done at 9 pm.” Try to get the big picture. If your kid is spending more time online, try to understand the underlying things that make them seek it out. With rising anxiety and depression in kids, you may need to reach out for additional support. Insight #2: Set boundaries where they matter most - in safety, health, and development. There are four key zones: sleep, study time, physical activity, and family time. If they are getting enough sleep, can focus during study time, get physical activity, and have connection with family at mealtime or other times, things may be ok even if screen time is high.

Prairie Fare: Do you cook under pressure?
“This would make a good column,” my husband announced as he walked into the kitchen clutching a handful of papers. Oh, boy, what did I do? I thought to myself. “What were you trying to print?” he asked. “I was printing a recipe,” I noted. I thought I clicked on “print recipe” not “print everything.” I should have called up the recipe on my phone, but the screen is very small. I began paging through 30 pages of comments about the recipe. When I arrived at the recipe at the bottom of my new stack of scratch paper, I had bad news. “We need to stop the pressure cooker,” I said. “The recipe needs more broth.” We had company arriving in 90 minutes, and I had a 90-minute recipe to make. Fortunately, the appetizers were ready. “Will you release the pressure for me?” I asked. “Your projects always become my projects,” he said with a grin. “You’re a really good cook and very mechanically inclined,” I replied. He glanced in my direction. I’m not sure he found my comment sincere. I handed him two potholders, then I backed away from the countertop as the steam flowed quickly out the vent during the pressure release. No one was burned in this dinner-making process. Fortunately, the corned beef brisket was forgiving of the slight interruption and repressurizing. The meat was fork tender after a 90-minute cook under pressure. The cabbage, potatoes and carrots only took a few minutes to cook. Our guests were content after the meal. Many of us grew up eating pressure-cooked meals made on the stovetop in appliances with a jiggling weight on top. Pressure cookers fell out of fashion until recent innovations. The new versions are much more versatile and safer than the slightly noisy appliances of yesteryear. You can find “multifunction cookers” or “multicookers” sold under a variety of brand names, such as Instant Pot or Crockpot. As their name implies, the appliances have a range of functions. Most can slow cook, saute, sear, simmer, steam or warm
foods. Many more “add-on” items, such as racks and pans, are available. Besides main-dish meals such as stews, soups and roasts, you can make meatloaf, hard-cooked eggs, rice, yogurt and even cheesecakes. Perhaps you have a multicooker but you haven’t used it recently or at all. Take it out of the box and put it to work. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for your particular model. Reading instructions is not always exciting, but it is a necessity. You also can watch videos online if you prefer. Learn the functions of the buttons and explore recipes that were created for your appliance to get started. Although you can make a variety of items, a multifunction cooker has some limits. You cannot deep fry and you cannot pressure can safely in a multifunction cooker. Be sure to plug the multifunction cooker directly into the outlet and do not use an extension cord. Don’t leave your home when you are using your pressure cooker. We are launching an educational effort with Extension family and community wellness agents in North Dakota in more than half of the counties. We will be teaching people about beef cuts, nutrition and food safety as we explore recipes made in a multifunction cooker. The North Dakota Beef Commission is sponsoring our efforts. Watch for announcements of communitybased classes in coming months. This recipe is courtesy of https:// www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/ and the Beef Checkoff. Two of the four variations are provided, and the link to the additional recipe variations is provided. Four-Way Shredded Beef (Pressure Cooker or Slow Cooker) 1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) beef shoulder roast (or use a chuck roast) 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (see slow cooker directions) 1 large onion, chopped 2 Tbsp. minced garlic Salt and pepper (to taste) 1/2 c. beef broth (see pressure cooker directions) Pressure cooker directions (6-quart pressure cooker): Place beef roast, onion, garlic and 1/2 cup beef broth in pressure cooker. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 90 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Use the quickrelease feature to release pressure; carefully remove lid. Continue as directed. Note: This recipe was tested in an electric pressure cooker at high altitude. Cooking at an altitude of less than 3,000 feet may require less

Fundamental fairness: Statehood for Washington, D.C. The introduction of H.R. 51, a bill to make Washington, D.C., the 51st state — the “Washington, Douglas Commonwealth” — would grant its 700,000 residents the same rights enjoyed by Americans in every other state — full voting representation in Congress. This historic measure has triggered intense political and partisan controversy because, if enacted, the likely result would be the election of representatives who are Democratic, black and urban in their orientation. Make no pretense about what is at stake for the balance of power on Capitol Hill. The election of two Democratic senators would tip the balance of power in Washington where many, and perhaps most, decisions are grounded in political and party considerations. That is why this proposal, which plumbs the depths of the very foundational issues that ignited the American Revolution, requires members of Congress to summon their better angels and address the fundamental question of fairness. Thomas Paine, among other hyper patriots who articulated the grand cause of revolution against England, famously declared, “No taxation without representation.” The rationale behind the rallying cry of the revolution was, to the colonists, a matter of fundamental fairness: They should not be required to pay taxes to England without the right to elect representatives to Parliament. Imagine circumstances in our time in which North Dakota residents would be forced to pay their share of taxes, demonstrate their patriotism and defense of country by serving in war, work to build and sustain their communities and, in general, bear the obligations and duties of citizenship, all the while denied the right to vote for members of the House and Senate. Would they hear the voice of Thomas Paine? Would they wonder why they had been stripped of their fundamental right to hold government accountable and, even more fundamentally, the right consent to government that, in reality, is why citizens feel obliged to obey the law in the first place? James Wilson, second in importance only to James Madison as an architect of our Constitution, expressed the view that the binding power of law flowed from the continuous assent of the subjects of law; the view “that the only reason why a free and in-
dependent man was bound by human laws was this — that he bound himself.” The freedom-loving, independent citizens of North Dakota could hardly contemplate life under such circumstances. Yet, this is the plight of freedom-loving citizens in Washington, D.C. — all 712,000 of them, more than the number of Americans who live in Wyoming, Vermont and Alaska, and comparable to the number of people who live in North Dakota and South Dakota. Partisanship has its place in the life of American politics, to be sure, but there are moments when it must yield to the greater demands of leadership and the principles of statesmanship. The creation of the Douglas Commonwealth, the 51st state, is such a moment, unless we are to surrender ourselves to selfserving and arbitrary interests that are foreign to the cause of republicanism. Constitutional concerns and objections to the measure, grounded in the Admissions Clause, the District and Federal Enclaves Clause and the 23rd Amendment, may be adequately addressed by resort to provisions in the text of the Constitution. The Admissions Clause, Article IV, Section 3, authorizes Congress to admit new states into the Union. This provision vests Congress with broad discretion and does not specify a procedure for granting statehood. Congressional methods for admitting states have varied considerably. In addition, there have been no significant challenges to congressional acts granting statehood, and the Supreme Court has said that the judiciary may generally not review the political actions of the political departments. The only significant prerequisite in the Admissions Clause is that states must adopt a constitution to comply with the Article IV “guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” There is an explicit textual limitation regarding the admission of a state, that no new state may be formed within the jurisdiction of another state, but that does not apply to HR 51. The District and Federal Enclaves Clause, found in Article 1, section 8, clause 17, provides that Congress has “exclusive” legislative authority and plenary power, the courts have told us, over the enclaves that it has created, including the District of Columbia, so long as it does not exceed 10 miles square. There is no explicit provision requiring Congress to maintain a minimum size for the District of Columbia and, in fact, Congress has on various occasions acted, with the approval of the Supreme Court, to reduce the size of the district. While it is true that the framers of the Constitution wanted Congress to establish a federal district, it is clear that they wanted Congress to determine the

appropriate size and place of the district. Some have argued that granting statehood to D.C. might violate the 23rd Amendment (1961), which grants the district three electoral votes. The fact that HR 51 will greatly reduce the size and population of the district, essentially confining it to the White House, the Capitol Building and a few other buildings, is of no moment since the Enclaves Clause requires no minimum size for the district. The newly-minted Commonwealth will exercise the three electoral votes previously exercised by the district. The factual circumstances inherent in the creation of the new state and the reduction of the size of the district, leaving only a few residents with voting rights, including the president, have essentially rendered the 23rd Amendment a dead letter. But there is nothing unconstitutional in the act of exercising plenary congressional power to change the size of district, or in creating a new state, and thus nothing unconstitutional in cutting the ground from beneath the 23rd Amendment. In fact, HR 51 will repeal the statute — 3 U.S.C. section 21 — that provides for the district’s participation in federal elections, leaving it without appointed Electors. To tidy up matters, the measure provides expedited procedures for repealing the 23rd Amendment. Throughout American history, congressional leaders have recognized the need to expand voting representation in order to satisfy the Spirit of 1776, and fulfill the premise and promise of our democracy. The extension of equal rights to citizens in Washington, D.C., will carry on the best of America’s traditions — the commitment to fundamental fairness.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Where are the warehouses?… Every time you go into Minot from the west, you’ll pass a colossal food warehouse that’s empty and for sale. And when you’re in east Minot, near the state fairgrounds, you’ll see another food warehouse, not as large but also empty. Unfortunately, it’s part of the changing demographic of food distribution. Once upon a time, it seemed like every principal community had a food warehouse. That included communities like Devils Lake, Wahpeton, and Valley City. Now, everything we purchase in grocery stores and consume comes from warehouses in Fargo, Bismarck, or further away. Take Sysco for instance. There are distribution hubs across the country, but headquarters are in Houston. Sysco is by far the largest food distributor in the United States. Its only North Dakota location is in Fargo. From there, things get complicated because so many sales and acquisitions have taken place; it’s hard to keep track. For instance, that huge warehouse on the west side of Minot is a former Nash Finch warehouse that for many years had a strong presence in Fargo, Bismarck, Minot, and Grand Forks. In fact, it was so competitive, it took on the nickname “Nasty Finch.” Several years ago, it merged with the Spartan Food Co., of Grand Rapids, Mich., and became Spartan-Nash. That worked for a while until it was decided it would be more efficient to ship everything out of Fargo. The next closest warehouses now are Sioux Falls and St. Cloud. Food Services of America has had a similar fate. It once had a presence in North Dakota’s four largest communities and no longer exists today. Each community had several routes that filled orders to the most remote locations in the state. Some of you might remember Snoboy, a snowman caricature that represented the produce that Gamble Robinson distributed? That company, Pacific Gamble Robinson, was sold to Food Services of America in the late ‘80s. A brand new warehouse opened in Fargo in 1990. The entire
company has since been sold and is now known as CashWa. The empty building on the east side of Minot was a once bustling Food Services of America and Gamble Robinson warehouse location. Super Valu still has a strong presence in North Dakota despite the local Super Valu stores in just about every small town going away. Right now, it supports Dan’s Supermarkets, Family Fare, and the former Hornbacher ’s. It has distribution centers in Fargo and Bismarck. Another local company that couldn’t keep up with the big boys was Grand Forks Grocery. That company distributed food across the state but at some point was bought out by U.S. Foods. Since that acquisition, U.S. Foods has opened a distribution center in a growing Bismarck. We can’t forget Cloverdale in Mandan as a food distributor. Yes, most of what it markets is meats. However, it also has a wide variety of food items to complement its meat deliveries. It, too, had a presence in Minot, and that location has now been closed about 10 years. It’s hard to compare Walmart with the rest of these distributors because it only supplies its own stores. The others, all mentioned above, have called on numerous grocery store accounts. There are others that have come and gone and in more recent years, there have been some interesting developments in food distribution. Coberns, which owns all Cash Wise locations, has been steadily expanding the past 10 years, adding numerous stores across western North Dakota. Remember when the only Cash Wise in the state was on South 12th Street in Bismarck? It now has two locations in Bismarck, two in Fargo, and one each in the following locations: Jamestown, Minot, Dickinson, Stanley, Tioga, Watford City, West Fargo and Williston. Natural Grocers, a competitor to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, has entered the North Dakota marketplace. Its first store was in Fargo but has since added locations in Bismarck and Grand Forks. It specializes in organic and natural products. And let’s not forget Costco. With locations in West Fargo and Bismarck, it has redefined warehouse shopping and has thrown a big monkey wrench into Sam’s Club.
ND Matters: WalletHub rains on investment parade By Llyod Omdahl Just when the legislature was ready to break open the $8 billion Legacy Fund egg, an organization called WalletHub came out with a study that demeaned North Dakota’s ability to innovate, perhaps suggesting that we weren’t a very good opportunity for major venture capital investment after all. Anytime we get a survey that casts negative light, we refuse to believe it. (Refusing to believe truth has become common place in our state.) So after I saw Forum Reporter Pat Springer’s summary of the bad news, I refused to believe ad quickly searched to find holes in WalletHub’s negative review. This is how Springer summa-

rized it: “a ranking by WalletHub listed North Dakota 49th among 50 states and the District of Columbia in innovation based on a score drawn by 22 key indicators, including a share of STEM professionals – those working in science, technology, engineering and math – as well as per-capita research and development spending.” Key Indicators Valid Suspicious to the end, I wondered if the 22 key indicators were those chronic opinionated guys who met weekly at the town’s biggest pub. Nope, I found the key indicators to be legitimate. The 10 top states for innovation were Massachusetts, District of Columbia, Washington, Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, California, Delaware, Utah and New Hampshire. Two states ranking as less innovative than North Dakota were Louisiana and Mississippi, a neighborhood to avoid at night. In another study, WalletHub ranked states by performance in education. Five of the 10 states that r ranked high for innovation also ranked in the top 10 in education so there must be a relationship between smart and creative. On the other hand According to the Chamber of Commerce Foundation, North Dakota ranked high in enterprise. But these kind thoughts lacked the thoroughness of WalletHub research and are believed by people who want to think kindly about home enterprise. This is especially important because the legislature talked about using some of the Legacy Fund principal for investing in North Dakota business. Will the negative Wallethub report cool off the legislature’s ardor for investing in a state low in innovation?
Usually, once the die is cast the political will is to proceed as planned, regardless of the age of the plan. Bank Didn’t Count The WalletHub people gave short shrift to the greatest innovations in our history – the Bank of North Dakota and the State Mill and Elevator, parading socialism in a state of boundless conservatism. They didn’t look like innovation because they were 100 years old. But the measuring experts should have gotten in the cab of a new John Deere tractor, decked out with high tech, measuring planting one seed at a time and apportioning fertilizer as each plot of soil requires. All of this managed by high technology distant from the field. Farmers are thicker than sow thistle at every farm show, learning and applying the latest. Consequently, many farmers are over-invested in equipment. It is so much fun. The half a million dollar tractor or combine will never be amortized. But innovation is their game. Innovate From 49th But, as my farm boss observed on one dull day: “I like farming because it takes so long to go broke.” So will this WalletHub rainy day run North Dakota off the investment field? The whole $8 billion in the Legacy Fund will not be bet on the “red 20” in the Flamingo. At best, it will be a test effort with limited commitment to see if we can’t innovate our way up from 49th. If we could pioneer successfully innovating with haywire, we should have no fear of innovating with a paltry million or two in the stock market. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

N.D. announces Pandemic-EBT food assistance for children who are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals this school year State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler and Department of Human Services Executive Director Chris Jones on Monday announced a new food assistance program for families whose children have been eligible for free or reduced-price school meals during the current school year. The Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program provides Electronic Benefits Transfer cards to eligible families. The cards may be used to buy food. Families of children who were eligible for free or reduced-price meals at school during the current school year will be eligible. Families will receive benefits for days that students in the household are distance learning at home, rather than being in the school building. Families do not need to apply for the benefit. Schools are presently gathering information about which students qualify for free or reducedprice school meals. Eligible households will be receiving letters to notify them about the P-EBT benefit, and they will be mailed EBT cards in the coming weeks. The benefit will equal $6.82 for each day a student has been learning through distance instruction. The amount is the current daily federal reimbursement that schools receive per student for providing a free breakfast, lunch, and afterschool snack. The Department of Public Instruction estimates that about 31,400 North Dakota students will qualify for the P-EBT benefit. Benefit amounts for each student “will really depend on the school district’s learning plan,” said Linda Schloer, director of child nutrition for the NDDPI. Michele Gee, director of the Department of Human Services’ Economic Assistance Division, said the benefit is intended to replace the value of meals the students would
have received had they been able to attend school in person. The EBT cards may be used to buy food at retailers that are approved to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. These retailers include most grocery stores and farmers’ markets. The rules that govern allowable food purchases with SNAP benefits also apply to the P-EBT benefits. “We continue to actively work to prevent hunger in North Dakota and are pleased to be able to offer Pandemic-EBT food assistance in coordination with DPI for this school year,” Jones said. “Good nutrition is essential for a student’s education,” Baesler said. “It is difficult to pay attention and learn if you are hungry. That goes both for children and adults. This program is a welcome addition to North Dakota’s hunger-fighting efforts.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently approved North Dakota’s plan to operate the program, which was approved by Congress last year and signed into law in December 2020. Families who have questions about eligibility can contact the NDDPI’s P-EBT hotline at (701) 3282732, 711 (TTY). Questions about EBT cards should be directed to the DHS economic assistance division at SNAP-PEBT@nd.gov. Following pandemic-related school closures during 2019-2020 school year, DHS issued P-EBT benefits totaling $9.5 million to about 36,750 North Dakota children. The department partnered with the NDDPI and local schools to identify and notify eligible families. Individuals and families with lower incomes or whose incomes have been affected by the pandemic can find information about other resources that can help their household budgets, including child care
assistance, heating assistance and SNAP, at www.nd.gov/dhs/services/financialhelp. For information about rental assistance and other resources and services supporting North Dakotans affected by the pandemic, visit ndresponse.gov/ covid-19-resources.

NDSU offers new streamlined pharmacy admission option NDSU is offering a new streamlined School of Pharmacy admission option to students through a Post-Baccalaureate Admissions Pathway. Students who graduate as of May 2021 in a health or STEM field are eligible for the program if they meet criteria. The goal is to attract qualified students who may already have a strong background in health sciences or STEM who are interested in a pathway to achieve a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. “Criteria and qualifications remain in place to enter the program and attract qualified students who want to pursue their Pharm.D. degree,” said Charles D. Peterson, dean of the School of Pharmacy and College of Health Professions at NDSU. The streamlined pharmacy admissions approach is part of an array of options available to attract top students to NDSU. In addition to the Post-Baccalaureate Admissions Pathway, NDSU School of Pharmacy also offers a Traditional Pathway, an Early Admission Path-
way for qualified high school students and a Pharmacy Technician Pathway. For the Post-Baccalaureate Pathway, candidates must have earned a bachelor’s degree in a health or STEM field by May 2021, with successful completion of courses in biology, human anatomy and physiology with laboratories, general chemistry, and public speaking. Successful passing of the PCAT or MCAT, application through PharmCAS and a successful interview process also are required. If students with a degree in a health or STEM field are accepted into the NDSU pharmacy program but have not yet completed coursework in chemistry, biochemistry, physics or calculus, they must successfully complete a summer preparatory program. Graduates who have completed sufficient coursework in all areas who are accepted into the program will begin their professional program in fall semester 2021. “Students today in many different fields are taking a variety of
paths to reach their educational and career goals,” said Daniel Friesner, professor of pharmacy practice and senior associate dean in the NDSU College of Health Professions. “Offering a span of options to prospective students, while maintaining professional criteria and standards in a high quality, affordable program, helps expand the breadth and reach of our program.” In addition, the Early Pathway to Admission offered previously allows students with an early focus on pharmacy to begin their education more quickly on their journey to become pharmacists. It is an early assurance program designed for academically qualified high school students who want an affordable, expedited path to a Pharm.D. degree. The Post-Baccalaureate Pathway opens up options for successful graduates who may have decided to pursue a Pharm.D. degree later in their education. As a student-focused, landgrant, research university, we serve our citizens.

Eunice D. Evenson
Funeral services will be Monday, April 5, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Edinburg for Eunice D. Evenson, 89, of Edinburg, who passed away on Sunday, March 28, 2021, at the Park River Good Samaritan Center. The service will be live streamed on the Tollefson Funeral Home Inc. Facebook page. A video of the service will be available on the Tollefson Funeral Home website. Face masks and social distancing are encouraged. Interment will be at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery. Eunice D. Evenson was born August 19, 1931, in Walsh County. She was the daughter of the late Oscar and Mabel (Ulberg) Haug. She graduated from Edinburg High School in 1949. After high school she obtained her elementary teaching certificate from Moorhead State University. She later completed her bachelor’s degree in elementary education through an outreach program offered by Moorhead State University. She completed her degree while she continued to teach full-time in Lankin. She was united in marriage to John M. Evenson on June 20, 1954, in Edinburg. Since John was enlisted in the US Army at that time, they lived in Ft. Sill while John completed his military service. Upon John’s discharge from the army they moved to Bemidji, Minn., where they taught. In 1959 they moved to Edinburg where they built a home and resided there. While living in Edinburg, she taught in Gardar, Mountain, Edinburg, and Lankin. She retired from education in 1994. She was the organist for Trinity Lutheran Church for 57 years, retiring in 2016. Over the years she played for countless weddings, funerals, and special programs. She also played a large part in several community celebrations. She was a member of
the Trinity Lutheran Church, WELCA, and Edinburg Legion Auxiliary. Eunice enjoyed planting and caring for her flowers. Canning produce from their garden was another passion of hers. She loved to follow her older grandsons in their sporting events while they were in school and didn’t miss many games. She looked forward to Sunday visits from her younger grandsons in her last several years. She and John spent five years traveling to Arizona for the winter months but decided they were missing out on too many activities back home and quit leaving for the winter. She also enjoyed making scrapbooks of memories for her older grandsons. She was on various committees for town, school, and church reunions which she enjoyed very much. She and John were the grand marshals for the Edinburg Reunion Parade in 2007. She was passionate about music, especially special programs at Trinity. She was the choir director of three choirs for many years and always had them prepared to perform their best. She especially enjoyed playing duets with Janet Johansen. She and John thoroughly enjoyed their evening drives to check the local crops and concluding with a trip to the Dairy Queen. They rarely missed their evening rides. She is survived by son John T. of Edinburg; daughter Janelle (Shane) Peterson of Langdon; six grandchildren: Christopher (Kayla) Evenson, Michael (Caitlin) Evenson, Colton Evenson, Andrew (Morgan) Evenson, Ryland and Ramsey Peterson; great-grandchildren: Anna, Claire, Ellie, Audrey, Eli, and Beckam; and her special niece, Cindy (Scott) Geston of Fargo. She was preceded in death by husband John; her parents; and brothers: Duane and Arlen'; and niece Cindy Haas. The Tollefson Funeral Home of Edinburg is in charge of the arrangements.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Interim Pastor Warren Wenzel of Langdon United Methodist Church
Grace and Peace to you from God, our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We all know when Christmas is coming, but Easter doesn’t get as big a bump in our calendars, in our day, as Christmas. However, Christmas would be nothing if it wasn’t for Easter. Easter tells us that Jesus was more than a baby born in a barn and more than a great teacher. I grew up with the song, “He Lives,” “I serve a risen savior, He’s in the world today.” That makes a difference when we think about what’s important in life. We are never alone. God is always with us. Knowing that God is at our side always helps us live not just for ourselves but for Him and one another. When we sing or pray, “Precious Lord take my hand” we want that to be real. In the poem, “Footprints” we talk about his carrying us through difficult times, and we want that to be real. Google this song and this poem. Think about the times Jesus has taken your hand and the times when you have been carried by Him. When we gather at the Lord’s table, he is with us there in a special way. There is a saying I’ve seen several places that goes like this: “Wash your hands and say your prayers because Jesus and germs are everywhere.” This may be trite, but God’s presence
is made real in the person and presence of Jesus Christ. Frederick Buechner put it this way: “The earliest reference to the Resurrection is Saint Paul’s, and he makes no mention of an empty tomb at all. But the fact of the matter is, that in a way, it hardly matters how the body of Jesus came to be missing because in the last analysis, what convinced the people that he had risen from the dead was not the absence of his corpse but his living presence. And so it has been ever since.” The scriptures make the point in one way after another that we are never alone; that God is with us always. God’s presence colors, influences, and shapes all that we are, say, and do. The authorities tried to get Jesus out of the way, but it didn’t happen. For three days He was in the tomb, but then He was raised. He walked with his disciples. He ate with them. The Christmas message is “Emanuel” which means “God is with us.” God came to earth in the presence of His Son, Jesus. The sinful world tried to get rid of Jesus, but God raised Him from the tomb. The Easter shout, He is risen, makes the message of Christmas ongoing, never ending. THANKS BE TO GOD. P.S. “The stone at the tomb of Jesus was a pebble to the Rock of Ages inside.” Fred Beck

Take Down Tobacco: a National day of Action
Brush with the Bunch
If I was to take a survey of the Brush Bunch, I feel that they would agree with me that the art show we held at North Border Estates in December of 2009 would be high on the list of rewarding projects that the Brush Bunch has participated in. On December 5 of 2009, eleven North Border residents agreed to show some of their crafts at an art show to be held at their Estates. They were joined by some of our former members: Gerri Benoit, Alma Mathison, Honey Eppler, and Marie Dalzell and six from the Brush Bunch. Tables were set up in the large hallway and some showed in their rooms or near their entry. The picture shown is of Lucy Fitzsimonds and her son, Dean. Lucy had a display of her needlepoint, embroidery, and beadwork. On the right is LaRae Hornung who displayed several of her knitted shawls, purses, and scarves. The only way to not forget anyone is to name them all; Dede Longtin showed several beautiful quilts. The wood cuttings and carvings of Orville Ingles were magnificent. He carved a wooden chain that was admired by all. He was joined by his son, Dale, who showed some photography. Velma Dumas‘ crazy quilts and plastic canvas were beautiful. Gloria Gendreau held her garden and knitted articles displayed in her apartment. Mildred Fraiser had an impressive showing of her embroidery, quilts, and more. Mary Wieler also showed her embroidery, counted cross stitch and plastic canvas. Therese Charrier had several articles of needlepoint and Petitpoint (French) which she was happy to explain to everyone. Vernon Fitzsimonds showed several pieces of furniture he had re-finished. The art show, which was visited by many from the Pembilier Nursing Center and the community, was very complimentary. Coffee, juice, and Christmas snacks were served by the Brush Bunch. A fun time was had by all. Our Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale #50 is creeping up on us very fast; programs and posters will soon be printed. We will be greeting you at the door of the American Legion and steering you to our Art Show #49. On Friday, April 30, I will be one of the Brush Bunch members to display a method I use to painting for the elementary students of Walhalla - North Border students. Mark your calendar, and see you the first weekend in May. God Bless! Leo Beauchamp
Tobacco use is no joke. Each year, it kills one thousand North Dakotans and costs hundreds of millions in health care-related expenses. This April Fools’ Day, it’s time to tell Big Tobacco you won’t be fooled any longer when you quit tobacco and nicotine during Take Down Tobacco Day. Why April Fools’? The tobacco industry pushes products that addict, sicken, and kill and gets away with it. They fool users through marketing tactics like brightly-colored packaging and sweet flavors to make it seem harmless – only to hook another generation of users. Take Down Tobacco Day is recognized annually across the country to raise awareness of the problem of tobacco use in the community and encourage youth to reject the tobacco industry’s deceptive marketing and stay tobacco-free. Tobacco and nicotine users in North Dakota are encouraged to Take Down Tobacco on April 1 by making it their day to quit. Cavalier County Health District, Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and NDQuits, North Dakota’s tobacco cessation program, aid the effort by providing practical
Health tip of the week The term “binge drinking” is a popular term used to describe a person consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short amount of time, such as when men consume five or more drinks, and when women consume four or more drinks, in about two hours.

tools and educational resources to help anyone who wants to quit. A quit plan is the best way to improve a tobacco user’s odds at success. A quit plan includes setting a quit date, like Take Down Tobacco Day, along with removing tobacco and nicotine products and triggers from the home and work environment, and replacing those items with healthy foods, stress-relieving aids, and reminders of why they chose to start living tobacco-free. Informing loved ones can also be very beneficial for additional support and motivation throughout the quitting process. The resources available through Cavalier county Memorial Hospital and NDQuits provide additional support in the form of personal coaching and nicotine replacement therapy medication. Free nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or nicotine lozenges are provided to qualified enrollees. “Tobacco treatment specialists at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital are here to provide the support and tools you need to quit tobacco and nicotine,” said David Kavish, RPh, TTS, Director of Pharmacy with
Cavalier County Memorial Hospital. “We can help formulate a quit plan that identifies your triggers and ways to avoid them. Quitting doesn’t have to be overwhelming.” #TakeDownTobacco by making today your quit day! Join others all across the country that are quitting today for good!

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Protect the Littles Being responsible for children can be the most rewarding experience of a lifetime, but it can also be extremely difficult and trying at times. The trying times may not even be something serious or important, but if circumstances are very stressful, those little things can feel large. Or those trying times may very well be larger than we can handle, even without extenuating circumstances. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) play a vital role in the outcome of adults’ lives. According to the CDC, about 61% of adults in 25 states reported experiencing at least 1 ACE, and 1 in 6 reported more than one. (https://www.cdc.gov/ violenceprevention/aces/fastfact. html) Experiencing and/or witnessing violence, abuse, neglect, suicide attempt or suicide completion of a family member, substance use disorders, mental health problems, as well as parental separation due to incarceration are all traumatic factors (or Adverse Childhood Experiences). ACEs all contribute to abuse of children and the cycle continuing in the next generation. There are some situations that have happened to people I deeply care about that have broken my heart. It took every bit of willpower to keep my emotions inside until I could get to a quiet room in the privacy of my own home to weep. They are situations that I would never wish on anyone. They are situations that I did everything in my power to change but couldn’t. They are situations that if I had three wishes or a magic wand, they would be the first to be whisked away by the magic. Sadly, abuse cannot be whisked away by magic, but it CAN be stopped if we all work together. It’s up to all of us to help prevent child abuse. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month to help bring awareness to the serious situation at hand. With the help from support systems (which include other members of the community), the children of our community who have

experienced ACEs can grow up to be happy, healthy, productive citizens and break that cycle of abuse. There are actions that can be taken in the form of 6 protective factors to help parents navigate the world of parenting in a positive way. “Protective factors are conditions or attributes that, when present in families and communities, increase the well-being of children and families and reduce the likelihood of maltreatment.” (www.childwelfare. gov) Even during stressful times, if parents have support, coping mechanisms, and accessible resources, they are more likely to succeed and parent effectively. It’s more effective to prevent the abuse by helping strengthen protective factors than it is to deal with the repercussions of the trauma. According to www.childwelfare. gov, the 6 protective factors are: *Nurturing and attachment *Knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development *Parental resilience *Social connections *Concrete supports for parents *Social and emotional competence of children Several of these protective factors can be contributed to by all members of the community. Resources, positive examples, and providing nurturance and encouragement are just a few ways that people can help. Those things don’t take much time yet make a huge impact on the outcome of children’s lives. Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota (PCAND) is a resource that provides information and training to help stop abuse. Its blue pinwheel campaign is launched every year to encourage “standing united” in this important undertaking. A sign and a “garden” of pinwheels will be outside the courthouse this month to remind everyone to be part of this worthwhile endeavor. If you would like a pinwheel to place in your yard to show your support for the prevention of child abuse, please stop in our office, suite 7 of the Cavalier County Courthouse, to pick one up (while supplies last). We would love to have you join us in taking part in this campaign. There are several resources parents can reach out to in order to get the help they need to navigate the parenting world. Websites and or-
ganizations such as Parents Lead (http://www.parentslead.org/) and the National Children’s Advocacy Center (https://www.nationalcac.org/for-parents/) are two places that offer parents insight into several important topics and skills related to parenting. If you need the resources or know someone who does, please use or share the information. NDSU Extension also has several resources. Our Parent and Family Resource Center offers resources and parenting classes that can help parents learn new skills and support them by answering parenting questions. If you would like more information about our parenting resources as well as the Parent and Family Resource Center, visit our website at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/grandforkscountyextension/ parent_and_family-resource-center, call our office (256-2560), or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. We can help you get in touch with a parent education coordinator and get you the resources you would need. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, there are several places to call to report the abuse, including: Child Protection Services (833958-3500) Cavalier County Social Services (701-256-2175) Child Abuse Hotline (800-4224453) Immediate Danger/Emergency (911) Instead of having to report, let’s work on strengthening the protective factors and reducing the ACEs that children in our community face. Our community is full of wonderful community members that could help families who are in need of gaining those protective factors. Don’t be afraid to help nurture, guide, and support children and families in our community. After all, those children will someday be the adults. Let’s protect the littles.

Deadline approaching for additional specialty crop grant applications The application deadline for the additional 2021 Specialty Crop Grants is Wednesday, April 7. Applications are again being accepted for 2021 Specialty Crop Grants due to additional one-time funding from a COVID-19 stimulus package passed by Congress in late 2020. “Projects that solely enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in North Dakota are eligible for these grants,” Goehring said. “We encourage organizations, institutions and individuals to submit proposals on their own or in partnerships.” North Dakota has not yet received an allocation amount from USDA’s Agriculture Marketing Service but is expected to receive it in the next few weeks. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) will distribute the funds through a competitive grant program. Eligible applications include enhancing food safety; pest and disease control; developing new and improved seed varieties and specialty crops; increasing child and adult nutrition knowledge and consumption of specialty crops; improving the capacity of all entities in the specialty crop distribution chain to comply with the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act; investing in specialty crop research,

Vertical farms produce fresh leafy greens and herbs in indoor environments for sale within a local urban area.

improving efficiency and reducing costs of distribution systems; and sustainability. Projects that directly benefit specific, commercial products or profit a single organization, institution or individual are not eligible. The USDA defines specialty crops as “fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture and nursery crops.” Specialty crops grown commercially in North Dakota include dry beans, dry peas, lentils, potatoes, confection sunflowers, grapes, honey and various vegetables. Goehring said an information manual with application instructions, scoring criteria and an application template can be found on NDDA’s website: https://www. nd.gov/ndda/scbgp. Applications must be submitted in electronic form by 4 p.m. CDT Wednesday, April 7, 2021. Applications will then be reviewed, scored, ranked and provided to Agriculture Commissioner Goehring to determine which applications will be forwarded to USDA for final approval in May of 2021. Projects funded by the grants start Oct. 1, 2021 and must be completed by Sept. 30, 2023. Goehring said persons needing more information should contact Deanna Gierszewski at (701) 3282191 or scbg@nd.gov.

sun. As an example, Gotham Greens built a 75,000-square-foot greenhouse in Chicago, Ill., on top of the Method Products manufacturing plant. This greenhouse produces millions of heads of lettuce for the Chicago market. In Brooklyn, N.Y., Gotham Greens greatly reduced its transportation costs by building its greenhouse on the roof of an organic grocery story. In its nine greenhouses totaling 500,000 square feet, the company can grow the same amount as a traditional 400acre vegetable farm and only use one10th of the water of field production. Second-generation vertical farms no longer use greenhouses because their horizontal footprint is too big and expensive for urban centers. New vertical farms are multistory indoor plant factories with no windows or exposure to sunlight. Instead, plants are grown in a multilevel shelving system with LED lights mounted above each shelf. They use soilless systems that bathe plant root systems in a water solution or a mist that contains essential nutrients. Third-generation vertical farms will improve on land-use efficiency by installing vertical columns of plants rather than using horizontal shelving to maximize space. As you can imagine, enclosed vertical farms require a substantial amount of energy for lighting, heating and cooling, compared with a traditional farm. Why are we transitioning to such an energy-intensive mode of production when traditional field production is powered by the sun? First, urban consumers desire fresh local produce and will pay a premium for it. Lettuce and greens grown in a vertical farm can reach the consumer within a day or two after harvest, thereby preserving peak flavor and nutrient levels, compared with produce that has been trucked in a refrigerated trailer across the country. Indoor production of leafy greens is seen as a safer method to produce vegetables that are consumed raw. Foodborne outbreaks such as E. coli in the last few years have resulted in major recalls of outdoor grown lettuce and greens. Although not every outbreak was traced to a source, the potential exists for the contamination of field crops by feral animals as well as dust and runoff from cattle operations in those areas. Finally, the future of vertical farms is bright because we need to significantly increase the amount of food grown to feed a population of 9 billion people by 2050. The planet does not have unlimited arable land to feed the world. Planning for land use efficiency and proximity to population centers will help provide the food security that the world needs. For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent. Find the Extension office for your county at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/extension/directory/ counties.

Report From the Legislature
Legislative Update
Senator Janne Myrdal R – District 10 jmyrdal@nd.gov 701-331-0946 We are approaching the last month of the 67th Legislative Session. We finished our work in many committees including our Senate Agriculture Committee. However, the Judiciary committee I serve on will go all the way to the finish line it looks like. And then of course we have the conference committees with the House on bills that passed both chambers but had some substantial amendments added in one of the chambers. And so the process of “sausage making”, a term used here, gets close to a final product. We have about 20 bills yet to hear in Judiciary with issues ranging from the 2nd amendment to presidential executive orders, juvenile justice laws to free speech. All pivotal issues in todays political world. The Senate did pass HB1112 which clarifies that the county jails should not carry the financial burden of inmates who “stuck” in local jurisdiction awaiting transfer to the
state penitentiary. This became a huge burden on the county budgets during Covid. Many also noticed the news this week that the Senate overwhelmingly voted against legalizing recreational marijuana. The voters rejected this on the ballot as recently as 2018. I spoke against legalization on the Senate floor. You can listen to this link if so desired: https://video.legis. nd.gov/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2/20210326/-1/19846 Starting at about 2:07.11 As I have stated before I cannot fathom what good could ever come of legalizing an addictive damaging schedule 1 drug. If the people of North Dakota want it, then be it, but it will not be on my shoulder nor conscience. Follow the science we are always told. Well, science is clear that this addiction causes poor health, declined productivity, and aggravated wealth created by society will shrink, an economical disaster as Colorado statistics attest to. There is a bill before us to increase the gas tax by 3 cents to provide for infrastructure needs for counties and townships. I will not support this tax hike. As I reported a few weeks ago, the Senators who are AG producers all met with the Senate Majority leader and requested this funding to come from other sources. Currently there is a $30 million appropriation for counties in Senate
that we are hoping the House will concur with. This is more than we had expected, but sorely needed for roads and bridges. The partnership between NDSU and Planned Parenthood PP has been a week long topic of work in House appropriations and I commend Representative Monson for standing strong in opposition to this partnership as he chairs this committee. Much information is unfolding about this partnership that should be deeply disturbing to us all. The ND Department of Instruction agrees that we do NOT want nor need the explicit and liberal educational agenda of the nation’s largest abortion provider taught to any of our children. I will refrain from exposing any of you to the graphic details of their “instructions” to our K-12 teachers. AS I have expressed many times I am in full support of the AG research and extension and their budgets at NDSU and have spoken with numerous employees at NDSU who are equally concerned that the leadership of this institution is so unrealistically “dug in” to their loyalty to PP. 89 ND Legislators signed a petition for this to end and I sincerely hope it does ASAP. Again, as always thank you for all input via emails or texts.
SBA to increase lending limit for COVID-19 economic injury disaster loans The U.S. Small Business Administration is increasing the maximum amount small businesses and nonprofit organizations can borrow through its COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program. Starting the week of April 6, 2021, the SBA is raising the loan limit for the COVID-19 EIDL program from 6-months of economic injury with a maximum loan amount of $150,000 to up to 24-months of economic injury with a maximum loan amount of $500,000. “More than 3.7 million businesses employing more than 20 million people have found financial relief through SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans, which provide low-interest emergency working capital to help save their businesses. However, the pandemic has lasted longer than expected, and they need larger loans. Many have called on SBA to remove the $150,000 cap. We are here to help our small businesses and that is why I’m proud to more than triple the amount of funding they can access ,” said SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman. Businesses that receive a loan subject to the current limits do not need to submit a request for an increase at this time. SBA will reach out directly via email and provide more details about how businesses can request an increase closer to the April 6 implementation date. Any new loan applications and any loans
in process when the new loan limits are implemented will automatically be considered for loans covering 24 months of economic injury up to a maximum of $500,000. This new relief builds on SBA’s previous March 12, 2021 announcement that the agency would extend deferment periods for all disaster loans, including COVID-19 EIDLs, until 2022 to offer more time for businesses to build back. In order to shift all EIDL payments to 2022, SBA will extend the first payment due date for disaster loans made in 2020 to 24-months from the date of the note and to 18-months from the date of the note for all loans made in the calendar year 2021. Questions about SBA COVID-19 EIDL and disaster loan payments can be emailed to DisasterCus-

Loma City EQUALIZATION
Loma City
Rep. Chuck Damschen R – District 10 It has been an interesting session. I am quite sure all of you are aware of the action the House took in reprimanding Luke Simons and expelling him from the ND House. It was one of the most difficult decisions many of us ever had to make as State Representatives. Some of his accusers, the most recent, faced him and stated his offenses in the House chambers. Others had submitted complaints previously and leadership had approached him and urged him to change his behavior, to no avail. I will not drag his name through the dirt by detailing his actions in the local papers. However, he was given the opportunity to face his accusers and state his defense and was determined to be in violation of House rules. He was not accused or convicted of a crime. This was not a court of law and this was not a court proceeding. It was a procedure of the ND House on a violation of standards set by the members. I hope we never have to deal with anything like that again. A bill that would have changed our whole process of managing water, establishing legal assessed drains, and most all water law has been turned into a study. I am concerned about this as much of our current water law has been tried
and proven in the field and is a result of hands on experience. I don’t like the thought of it being revised on a whim for no real good reason. The study will be done by a diverse committee made up of eleven voting members and nine non-voting members. Legislators, political subs and their associations, among others, will comprise the required members. I believe it will be an important influence on our water resource districts. The cap on wages for water resource board directors has been raised to coincide with the per meeting cap for legislators. This was a bill I sponsored at the request of some of my constituents. It has passed both the House and Senate and the Governor has signed it. It should become law this summer. We may be able to wrap up this session by mid to late April. We would have to come back at some point to settle the redistricting that will take place before the next election. It will be interesting to see how that comes out with the changes in population in District 10 and the surrounding area. There will almost certainly be some major changes in boundaries for a number of districts. I’m still behind in the emails I want to respond to but new ones keep arriving! Hopefully I can address some of the subject matter in this column and not use so much time as it takes to answer each individual email. Please continue to contact me with your concerns or thoughts even if I’m slow to respond. Thanks for your encouragement! Until next time…

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Spending the last days of March in Williston We come to you this week from Williston, where it has been an unexpected trip out here but a necessary one. I'm not going to get into the details here (most of you can probably guess), but just know that things have taken a big turn for the better (for now anyway), and hopefully more good news is coming in the future. Your positive vibes and prayers have been very much appreciated. And a little update on life out here - it's dry, like most of the state. Rising gas and oil prices are starting rig activity to kick in a little, and the airport just announced that Delta Airlines is going to resume flights in June. Oh, and a Pizza Ranch is coming soon (nope, there's never been one here), along with something called Slim Chickens (look it up). Now, let's get to some local activites: Langdon Country Club should be open as you read these words; fundraising Poker Tournament planned for April 11 We are told that the Langdon Country Club was planning on
opening on April 2. The pins were expected to be in that day, which is one of the earliest times on record. We don't have any word on a spring meeting, but we can tell you that Randy Hill again will be running the Tuesday Men's League this season, and you can call or text him at 701-370-1118 for the early 3:30 p.m. or late 6:00 p.m. shifts. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich high school teams have begun practice on some parts of the course, with their first meets coming mid- to late-April. The club will hold a fundraising Masters Texas Hold 'Em Tournament on April 11. The tourney will be held the last day of the Masters Golf Tournament, and you can play cards and watch the final day at the same time. Registration on the 11th will begin at Noon with the dealing to start at 1:00 p.m. A portion of the proceeds will go to the betterment of the course. Cardinals baseball to begin games this week; Track and Field April 12 With improving and consistent warmer temperatures, high school baseball season will be getting started this week. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals are poised for a big season, and their first game will be at May-Port-C-G on April 6 then at a Shiloh Christian Invita-
tional with two games on April 9. The Cardinals first home game is scheduled at home versus Bottineau on April 12 at 4:30 p.m. A big new addition to American Legion Field this year is a new artificial mound, courtesy of the Langdon Area Baseball Boosters. Track and field will get underway for the season with a meet at Devils Lake on April 12. Due to COVID-19 protocols, there are no indoor meets planned in the state, so thankfully we have some decent weather for all these outside events. And we are just as thankful to just have a spring sports season, something that did not happen at all last year due to the pandemic. Langdon Blades players and coaches part of ND Showcase title Let's leave this week by congratulating Langdon Blades seniors Cooper Zimmer, Isak Dease, and Trevor Hove; freshman Mason Romfo; and coach Nic Roy on being part of team North Dakota, who won in a hockey showcase in Casper, Wyo., held March 26-28. They only lost one game on their way to the "Rocky Mountain Rumble" title. Dease had a hat trick in one of the earlier games, and they beat team Wyoming for the title. Great job, fellas! "See ya!" next week!
Prairie Doc® Perspectives: Listen to your gut
By Andrew Ellsworth, M.D. The patient knew something was wrong. After appointments with several specialists, multiple scans, and tests, she was given a diagnosis. Still, she felt certain something was not right. I sat down with her and listened. We repeated a test she had a year prior, and this time the test garnered a different result. There was a tumor growing. She listened to her gut, she persisted and with an accurate diagnosis she got the medical care she needed. Usually, it does not help to repeat a medical test. Nine times out of ten the result is the same. However, if as a patient, you get that feeling that something is amiss, seek out answers and find someone who will listen. That does not mean you need every possible test. Tests are costly. They are only a tool and using the wrong tool can cause more harm than good. Physicians are adeptly trained in the application of the tools of medicine. Throughout college, four years of medical school and another three or more years of residency training, an M.D. or D.O. invests over 10,000 to 15,000 clinical hours while learning the art of medicine. Ideally, as physicians gain experience and confidence, we learn to discern when a test is needed, and how to avoid an unnec-
essary test. Most importantly, a well-trained physician learns that listening to the patient history is a more powerful tool than any test. The history is the story of the patient’s current and past symptoms as told by the patient. It does not come from the chart, is not in a textbook, and cannot be determined by a blood test or CT scan. To obtain it, a physician must listen. Unfortunately, physicians often interrupt a patient within the first 10 to 15 seconds of the visit. Pressures from time, from documentation, from insurance companies, and from the next patient that is waiting can contribute to the detriment of the interview. However, with careful listening and guidance from the physician, the patient will frequently provide all that is needed to reach an accurate diagnosis. We can all learn more by listening. Whether listening to our bodies, our family, our friends, or even our adversaries, it is time well spent. When we take the time to listen, we are one step closer to the truth. You’ll feel it in your gut. Andrew Ellsworth, M.D. is part of The Prairie Doc® team of physicians and currently practices family medicine in Brookings, South Dakota.

More than 77 percent of North Dakota’s population lives in communities with active urban and community forestry initiatives. Investing in your community’s trees means investing in your community’s residents. Green infrastructure can reduce energy expenses by reducing costs for cooling and heating, and increase the aesthetic appeal of residential environments. Vibrant, diverse community forests have been linked with enhanced human health and overall well-being, which is important now more than ever as people are looking to get outside and enjoy nature amidst the pandemic. The NDFS provides three Community Forestry grants- two for tree planting and one for program development. The Community Family Forest grant (CFF) is funded by the Trees for North Dakota Trust Fund. A public entity is eligible to receive a maximum grant award of $1,500; A Tree City USA community is eligible for a maximum award of $2,000. Only one grant application will be accepted per community. At least 20% of the total cost of the project must be contributed by the applicant in the form of cash, services, and/or in-kind contributions. The America the Beautiful Tree Planting grant (ATBTP) is administered by the NDSU-North Dakota Forest Service in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service. A public entity is eligible to receive a maximum grant award of $10,000. At least 50% of the total cost of the project must be contributed by the applicant from sources other than federal funds, in the form of cash and/or in-kind contributions. Grant funding for these two tree
planting grants can be used to enhance a city entrance, fill open planting spaces along streets, convert a vacant city lot into an inviting community space, or rejuvenate a city park. The America the Beautiful Program Development grant (ATBPD) is made available through the US Forest Service. It also has a maximum grant award of $10,000, and at least 50% of the total cost of the project must be contributed by the applicant from sources other than federal funds, in the form of cash and/or in-kind contributions. Community forestry program development projects can include removing diseased or declining trees, educational outreach like signage for trees, or conducting a public tree inventory. All projects must be located on public property, and public entities that own or control the land where the project will be located must submit the application. Grant applications must be postmarked by April 30th, 2021. To receive an application, please contact a NDFS Community Forestry staff member. More information about these grants, such as a timeline and frequently asked questions, can be found here: https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ndfs/ programs-and-services/america-thebeautiful-grant-opportunities. The North Dakota Forest Service provides technical, financial, and educational forestry assistance to a broad array of customers. The staff administer forestry programs serving communities, rural landowners, soil conservation districts, rural fire districts, schools and citizens of North Dakota. All programs utilize a voluntary, educational and incentives-based approach to address natural resource and customer needs.
NDFS has community forestry grants available The North Dakota Forest Service (NDFS) is currently accepting applications for the Community Forestry grant program. This program offers several grant opportunities to communities in North Dakota interested in funding tree planting and other projects related to urban and community forestry.

Easter Music Winter is possibly the most gloomy season of the year so we look forward to the more joyous springtime. In past years those who have been cooped up all winter are ready to hear happy songs and attend school concerts or special events like the Palm Sunday concert put on by local churches. If the concert was held this year, I missed it and hope in a future year the custom can be revived. We were cheered and inspired by the music produced at these events and often the column written for Easter highlighted some of those performances. Last year we did not have local church services during much of Lent and Easter, and those of us who do not do Facebook (possibly more than most realize) missed out entirely on local musical events. I rode the bus until pandemic rules made that more difficult and prac-

ticed the hymns on the church piano even though no one else was there to sing along. Music has been a part of my life for so long I wanted to keep up as long as possible. This year there are transitions in pastors, but I believe all of our local churches will have an opportunity to sing the joyful songs on Easter. Wanting to write about one or two of the special Lenten and Easter songs that have not been featured in recent years, I went back to two who, in a way, have a shared history. Both are listed as African American spirituals with no author, and both grew out of the experiences of Christians who were slaves living and working in the cotton fields of the south. The first is titled “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?” This song was known before slavery was abolished but did not appear in print until 1899 when a collection of slave songs was published as Old Plantation Hymns. Traditionally, they were sung by the workers in the fields and were composed in a repetitive style which made them easy

to learn since few of the slaves had an opportunity to learn to read or write. In the original version it has four stanzas each asking a different question about the death of Christ. The question is repeated and then the refrain added: “Oh, it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, were you there when they crucified my Lord?” It can be sung anytime of the year but is often sung or played for Good Friday. In many hymnals it ends with the verse that asks “Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?” While the song was known and widely sung both in America and in other countries, hymns by black writers or from black traditions did not appear in hymnals until 1939. “Were You There” was the first spiritual to appear in hymnals of American churches. It has been followed by many others. The second song I wanted to write about has a happy tune and is known as “He Rose”. It begins with the words “They crucified my Savior and nailed him to the tree….” The wording is thought to have grown out of the custom of lynching black slaves often without a trial by hanging them on a tree. However, the song was known in the south as early as 1850 but for some reason not considered a hymn at that time. The text follows the Passion story from the Bible going on to the angel who rolls the stone away, Sister Mary and Joseph who come to the empty tomb, and the joy of the resurrection. The chorus is an echo format “He rose
(He rose) He rose up from the dead and the Lord will come to carry me home.” I don’t remember it being sung in our church, although it has been in the hymnal for years, but it is often played on Easter Sunday for a prelude or postlude. It is a song of joy and hope. A listing on the internet says the version used today was newly re-discovered around the year 2000 and is now considered appropriate for all Christian churches. I found that very interesting wording. Three Friends: After a couple of busy weeks with funerals, news came of three more deaths in the space of a few hours. Very likely the three did not know each other, but over the years I had a chance to know each of them so wanted to write a bit about them and extend sympathy to their families or friends who live in Cavalier County. The first was Clarice Sperling Davis of Spokane. She was a 1954 graduate of Langdon High School and spent much of her adult life in Spokane, Wash. Clarice was the kind of lady who greeted strangers as friends she had not yet met and is fondly remembered by many. The last time I saw her in Langdon might have been the centennial or an all-school reunion, but because she worked at Evangel Bookstore in Spokane when visiting my brother and his family who lived 60 miles away in Idaho, I saw her each time we went to the bookstore. When working on mailing lists for local projects Clarice was

a person who could answer many questions and will be missed. The second was a friend named Madge Meisel. No, not a relative although we do pronounce our last names the same since in German names you say the second vowel. However, she felt we shared an aunt. Alice Cleary Wenzel was my aunt because she was married to my mother’s brother. Madge’s mother was originally named Katie Laraine Cleary but was known as Rainie Cleary to her cousins and after her marriage as Rainie Dubourt. She and my aunt were around the same age, played together as children, and both attended Walhalla High School although Alice went on to graduate from Cavalier. Later when they were both married and pregnant, they had the same doctor – Dr. Landry - and expected their new babies to be good friends growing up. Rainie’s baby was named Madge, possibly a nickname for a first name that slips my mind. Aunt Alice’s baby died at birth, but the next child born was named Karel Lorraine in honor of Rainie. While the mothers kept in touch, the children did not meet for many years - if ever. All of this did not come up until many years later when Madge and her husband, George, a teacher in Williston, wanted to take her mother to Alaska, but Rainie could not get a passport until they obtained a birth certificate. In the pre-World War I era when babies were often born at home rather than in a hospital, their births were not registered so they would first be recorded on either a school census or a school enrollment. I got a call from Madge, who was not sure if her mother had started school in Sarles or Walhalla but would I find out? As it happened, Rainie began her schooling in Concrete, but with that brief contact we became friends because when Madge heard my name, she was sure we must be related on the Maisel/ Meisel side. She was also anxious to know about her Cleary roots and to visit St. Ellen’s Cemetery near the PAR site. That cemetery is on land her great-grandfather, Mike Cleary, had homesteaded when the family came from Ireland in 1886 and has the graves of many relatives she had heard about but never met. Eventually we learned about computers while exchanging notes and jokes. The third recent death also shares one of my names, and that is Rita Waslaski ,who I got to know through seeing her year after year making residents of Maple Manor beautiful through her work in the beauty and barber shop at that facility. Rita grew up in England and came to America when she married Ben Waslaski, who had been stationed in England when in service. Her story is a modern version of coming to America long after the original homesteaders and one her children and grandchildren will treasure in years to come.

Card of Thanks
CHARON – The Charon family would like to take an opportunity to thank everyone in our community, as well as extended family and friends, who’ve reached out to us and held us all up following the passing of our husband, father, son, and friend, Dale. As often these incidents are, this was unexpected and tragic for us. But even in the darkest night, the light of one star can make all of the difference, and you all gave us a little shine last week! We’re truly grateful to those who made time to lend a sympathetic ear, sent us food so we didn’t have to think about meals, and gave money to help keep us all afloat after Dale’s passing. From the first responders to the moment our last visitor left the house, we have felt the support of everyone beneath us, and that has meant so much to each member of the Charon family as we now turn our attention to healing and continuing our lives without the integral piece that Dale was. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we all move forward together. With gratitude, Rita Charon & The Family _______________________________
THIELBAR – We wish to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to everyone who gave us support and encouragement after the death of my husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. We wish to especially thank CCMH for the great care, Pastor Chuck for the hospital visits and service, and Pastor Karl for the prayers and visits. Thanks to all our friends, neighbors and relatives who gave food, memorials, and encouragement, and to those who traveled to attend the funeral. Laura Thielbar family. _______________________________ NUELLE – Thanks so much for remembering me on my 90th birthday on March 18. Thanks to visiting family, friends and neighbors. For the beautiful flowers, phone calls, cards and personal greetings. It was greatly appreciated. Ellen Nuelle _______________________________

NDSU’s Green Bandana Project reaches milestone North Dakota State University’s Green Bandana Project has trained more than 535 people during the past year. The nationwide effort is a visual support system for persons struggling with such issues as anxiety or depression. For the project, students attach bandanas to their backpacks after they receive training about available resources on mental healthrelated issues. Green Bandana participants pledge to listen to persons in need, support them and provide information about where they can seek help. The project began at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, and the idea was introduced to other institutions during the Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls annual leadership conference in 2019. NDSU delegation members Halie Van Vleet and Jenna Saatoff decided to organize a Green Bandana Project on campus. “The Green Bandana Project prioritizes spreading awareness and education about mental health conditions, suicide and how to help others going through hard times,” said Van Vleet, a sophomore nursing student from West Fargo. “A green bandana is used as quiet sign of solidary to signify safety and trust.” Saatoff said the project is designed to show students that they are not alone, and the training sessions provide basic education on how to spot and talk to people
who may be grappling with mental health issues. “Whether you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, the bandana shows people you are there for them,” said Saatoff, who is a student in the Master of Business Administration program from Fargo. “When people attend our sessions, it’s our goal for them to become a person who focuses on their mental health and knowing when someone may need more help,” Saatoff said. “We give them resource cards to allow them to hand out to others they feel may benefit from knowing the resources around them.” Jen Kacere, Department of Residence Life assistant director for leadership development, said the project plays an important role on the NDSU campus. “The development of this program continues to spread across campus to include more students, faculty, staff and community partners,” Kacere said. “It is incredible to think in just over a year more than 500 have taken the pledge. The leadership from the students has been outstanding and the impact they have created on our campus is phenomenal.” The next Green Bandana training session is set for Tuesday, April 20, at 11:30 a.m. As a student-focused, landgrant, research university, we serve our citizens.
