The lift had its first day of operation for the summer on Saturday, June 6.

“I think the first day went great. It was a nice soft opening to try things out. All of the bikers that were here seemed to have a blast,” says Frost Fire Park General Manager Natalie Gebur. “We are the first downhill mountain bike terrain park with a lift service in North Dakota.”

The mountain bike trails originally started with the North Dakota Department of Parks and Recreation. The department crafted several miles of mountain bike trail into the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area over the past few years which were tied into the trails of Frost Fire Park.

“The trails started with them then were handed over to us the summer of 2019,” Gebur explained.

June Primary results in record voting Election 2020 is heating up just like the summer sun as one of the hottest turnouts in voting took place on June 9 in Cavalier County. With a total of 1,098 ballots cast the 2020 Primary tally places in the top three election cycles within the past five.

“We surpassed the total votes in three out of the past five Primary Elections, so I would have to say the all vote by mail election had an exceptional turnout,” Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner said.

The workload for Gellner and the election workers was a lot easier this year thanks to all vote by mail which spread out what needed to be done leading up to the election. Not having the precinct in the courthouse open also allowed Gellner and Deputy Auditor Monica Porterfield to be more hands-on with the election workers, guiding them through the steps to process the mail ballots. With only one of the election workers having worked an election before, Gellner felt that they did a really great job. Reducing the number of workers needed for the election also brought some cost savings to the county.

“Vote by mail was definitely more cost effective this time with the state mailing applications to all the eligible voters.

It also reduces the number of election workers and the cost of paying them,” Gellner explained.

“In light of the pandemic, we utilized county employees for

all but one of the election workers, drastically reducing the cost for election workers.”

Perhaps the biggest improvement to the system of voting was the new election machine.

State legislature approved the cost of the new machines and software during the last legislative session. Gellner explained that in the past the election workers would spend anywhere from four to six hours feeding ballots into the tabulator. Yesterday, Gellner shared that it took less than an hour and processed more mail ballots than the county ever had.

“The new election machine we used to process the mail ballots worked awesome. This was a much needed update to the state's election system. The addition of the drop box at the courthouse was good. The drop box was used a lot after hours, so we will most likely continue to have that available for sure leading up to the election,” Gellner said.

The one thing voters mention the most to Gellner regarding what they liked the most about vote by mail is the fact that they can fill in their ballot at their leisure and have the opportunity to research races or measures if they are not sure how they want to vote. This election year, researching and having the opportunity to learn more about a candidate before casting a vote is proving useful.

In the statewide elections,

the North Dakota House of Representatives seat is up with Republican incumbent Kelly Armstrong seeking re-election to a full term. At the state level, Armstrong received 97, 177 of which Cavalier County voters accounted for 754 votes. The Democratic side for the house seat had two candidates. ND Dem-NPL endorsed candidate Zach Raknerud received 20, 558 with Cavalier County voters contributing 122 votes to his campaign to seal his place on the November ballot. Roland Reimers also ran on the Democratic ticket, receiving 12,422 votes of which Cavalier County put in 72 to his total. The Libertarian party had Steven Peterson gaining 686 votes with Cavalier County giving him 3.

The race for Governor of North Dakota pitted Republican incumbent Doug Burgum against Michael Coachman.

Burgum received 93,373 statewide votes with 715 coming from Cavalier County. Coachman was awarded 59 votes

by Cavalier County voters for his total statewide of 10,577.

mediate lines . This level of trail will have mandatory drops, big features, and will create a lot of speed. If the “qualifier” (feature that starts each trail) is intimidating then one should reconsider riding this trail as it sets the tone for the trail and prepares the rider for what lies ahead.

The climbing trail is the longest offered at Frost Fire Park with over a mile of trail for riders to make their way from the base of the hill past the lodge to the top where the main lift drops off riders to begin the other two trails. It is a natural surface single track trail ranging in width from two to three feet. Once the climb trail is completed, the riders can then pick one of the other trails to ride back down to the base.

“It is a lot of fun. I am new to biking, but I have made it down the beginner trail and had a lot of fun. We also have an uphill trail that I also have peddled. It is great exercise and a great way to challenge yourself,” Gebur shared.

As the season of riding gets started out at the Gorge and Frost Fire, plans are already underway to continue to improve the experience that can be had while visiting. Frost Fire Park is currently accepting bids to complete the remaining four trails for mountain biking. With 300 feet of elevation, Frost Fire can provide a high quality bike park with multiple trails for all levels of riders. The ample side slopes and wooded areas provide a variety cont. on page 2

Extension has been a resource Henry herself has used for more than 20 years. Henry shared that she has “been lucky enough to have worked with some great extension agents over the years and has always loved the services and programming that has been provided”. When the opportunity for her to become an agent came, she was so excited to get the chance to be part of such a great source for the community.

Langdon City Commissioners conduct short meeting

The Langdon City Commission held a short meeting on the evening of Monday, June 8 in the Langdon Fire Hall. The Commission will be holding their meetings in the bay until the renovations to city hall are complete.

The Commission received updates from Moore Engineering regarding the Phase 1 corrections still to be completed. Andrew Aakre, Project Manager for the City of Langdon, explained that Quam Construction was going to be looking into local contractors to complete the remaining correction work. Their deadline for completion is within a few weeks at which point the City of Langdon could pursue more aggressive means.

Aakre reviewed the Phase 2 project with Spruce Valley. Paving has been completed within the city with only a few more items left such as hydroseeding. Aakre presented a spring payoff estimate for work completed which the commissioners approved. The Commission inquired if the project was still within budget, which Aakre responded that at the time of the meeting, it was tracking underbudget.

Aakre’s final request was an amendment for the Moore Engineering estimate for engineer work. The request would be covered by the grant the city is using and comes as a result of the firm’s on-site engineer completeing work over the estimated number of hours. The commissioners re-

viewed and approved.

Cavalier County Job Development Authority Executive Director Shannon Duerr presented two funding requests. The first was on behalf of Doug Lill for his purchase of the local laundromat and car wash in Langdon. Duerr explained his business plans including the contracting of dry cleaning services. The second request was for small business development plan services completed in Devils Lake.

Duerr explained that these services are very useful for JDA and businesses to determine viability and potential. The commissioners approved both requests.

Two teens, Kiarra Hodek and Rebecca Koon, asked if a prom dance could be held at the Activity Center following the school-sponsored parade and grand march which would be brought up next by Sydney Crockett and Jennifer Ronfo.

A dance with COVID safety guidelines being followed was proposed to take place at the Langdon Activity Center with the school having no affiliation with the dance. Pending approval from Langdon City Attorney Quentin Wenzel for the waiver forms and the teens getting liability insurance for the event, it is set to take place on June 19.

Sydney Crockett, along with Jennifer Romfo – school prom advisor, addressed the Commission with their plans for a grand march and parade and asked for the city’s approval. The committee planned for the grand march to take place on Main Street with proper social

distancing and couples having photos taken on Boyd Block Stage.

The school is supporting this event.

This was approved by the Commission. The Commission thanked all the teens for addressing the Commission with their plans.

The Commission met with Dennis Luhmann and Bret Zies to further discuss the paving of an intersection near Zies’s house.

The Commission explained the ordinance that the city has and will be following this final intersection project. They directed Luhmann and Zies to get a detailed quote/ bid from a contractor and send it to the city at which point the city would determine the amount they would participate based on that direct quote from contractor.

Langdon City Auditor RoxAnne Hoffarth informed the commissioners of complaints that her office had received about residential properties with unkempt yards.

Hoffarth and the Commission also revisited the issue of Main Street and the hazard in the sidewalks left by the removal of trees. After some discussion, this issue was tabled to be revisited at the next meeting with hopes of suggestions to address the issue.

In Other Business • The annual Auditor Bond for $2 million was approved.

• The Commission approved the vacating of parts of the Industrial park.

• The Commission thanked Marty Tetrault for his 20 years of service as a Langdon City Commissioner.

Searching the Internet, I find that the “official“ name is Amish curved-back, single glider chair. You can order chairs in many different woods, plastic and poly. Check with Bill first. I don‘t know if this is right or not. Anyhow, Bill noticed that Liann was having so much fun at Brush Bunch that he tagged along. Being so helpful at the Chamber/ Gallery building, doing our floors when they get unbearable to look at and a big help at art show time, he does the floors at the American Legion and helps with setup.

Men’s Health Month – schedule an annual check-up

By Mikey Hoeven

Between the coronavirus and civil unrest, there is a lot going on in our country. We are appropriately focused on those challenges, but we must also continue our work to fight cancer through prevention and early detection. As a member of the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s Congressional Families Cancer Prevention Program®, I am highlighting vital information for Men’s Health Month to encourage you—or the men in your life—to take charge of your health.

Cancer is a leading health issue facing men. An estimated 893,660 men will be diagnosed with cancer in 2020. In North Dakota alone, 425 per every 100,000 males are diagnosed with these diseases each year. Prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and melanoma

are among the most common cancers affecting men in the U.S.—but healthy habits could reduce risk of these cancers.

Being active can improve overall health and reduce cancer risk.

Obesity has been linked to at least 13 types of cancer and a sedentary lifestyle may also increase risk for certain cancers. At least 30 minutes of physical activity a day, at least 5 days a week can help maintain a healthy weight. When exercising or doing other activities outdoors, wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from the sun.

What you put in your body also affects cancer risk. Eat a balanced diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Limit red meat and avoid processed meats, which have been linked to increased colorectal cancer risk. Alcohol can increase risk of liver and colorectal cancers, so if you drink, limit it to no more than one or two drinks a day. Smoking is the leading cause of

lung cancer—the sooner you quit, the sooner you reduce your risk.

Schedule an annual check-up and talk to your health care provider about which cancer screenings and vaccines you may need. Colorectal cancer screening should begin at age 45, or earlier if you are at higher risk. Prostate cancer screening has pros and cons, so begin a conversation with your health care provider at age 50 (or at 45 if you have a family history or are African American).

If you are ages 55-80 and a current or former smoker with a 30 packyear history, low dose spiral CT (LDCT) screening is recommended.

Know the facts and take action to protect your health. To learn more, visit www.preventcancer.org.

Thinking About Health

Reports about Coronavirus vaccine don’t always give full story Trudy Lieberman, Rural Health News Service How soon will we have a vaccine to protect us from coronavirus?

That’s the question uppermost on the minds of many Americans, especially the elderly and others especially at risk for a severe bout of the disease.

Everyone wants the vaccine yesterday. Maybe that’s why the media cheered in late May and hope soared when Moderna, a 10-yearold biotechnology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, issued a press release with hopeful news.

Positive Phase 1 data, although early, showed promising results, the company said: “These data substantiate our belief that mRNA1273 (the vaccine name) has potential to prevent COVID-19 disease.”

Given how devastating the disease has been, who wouldn’t appreciate news like that?

The media ran with the story.

The company’s stock value zoomed up even though Moderna has yet to sell any products. The public was left with the message that maybe a vaccine was right around the corner. But is it?

Readers and listeners need to be on the lookout for clues to the real story right now.

Helen Branswell, a veteran reporter I know who has covered other disease outbreaks and knows her stuff, penned a cautionary message for STAT News where she now works. She wrote, “While Moderna blitzed the media, it revealed very little information, and most of what it did disclose were words, not data.

With science, numbers speak louder than words.”

I reached Branswell by phone to chat about how people should judge the studies, the claims, and the wishful thinking that will surely come until a new medication has been discovered that will tame the virus.

First off, the public needs to understand that all clinical trials are

not created equal. A Phase 1 trial that Moderna reported is just the first step in the process. These trials are usually small with no expectation there will be data about how effective a drug will be. Instead, Branswell pointed out, such a trial is “really about establishing a dose to make sure it’s safe enough to keep going.

In a Phase 2 trial, which may enroll a few hundred people, researchers are looking for efficacy and safety signals that tell them whether it makes sense to continue and whether the result may be an effective vaccine for humans.

Phase 3 trials are the gold standard. They are usually large and double blind. That means half of the participants receive the trial vaccine and the other half a placebo. Neither the participants nor the researchers know which half is which until the end of the trial. It’s generally best to look for how well a new drug performed in a Phase 3 trial with results published in a peer-reviewed journal where experts have scrutinized the data.

In this case, because of the rush to find a vaccine, Branswell said some testing may be compressed.

For example, a Phase 1 trial may be combined with a Phase 2 trial in the hope of speeding up the process and getting quickly to a marketable vaccine.

Branswell told me many things are still not known about the virus.

For example, she said, “It’s still not clear what protective immunity should look like and what level of antibodies are needed to ward off disease?”

When science produces answers to questions like those, then ideally, results of Phase 3 trials should be published in peer-reviewed journals where experts have a chance to “kick the tires” and cast a critical eye on the data. If a new therapeutic drug passes the test, then it is considered fit for humans.

Moderna’s vaccine in the making “may be effective,” Branswell said. “But we don’t know yet. It’s too soon. People don’t understand it takes time to produce a vaccine.”

So what does the vaccine universe look like now? Eight vaccine candidates are in human trials, and more than 100 others are ongoing with some in animal testing. Given the urgency to find a vaccine, press releases similar to Moderna’s will undoubtedly find their way into the hands of journalists. The public needs to read them skeptically.

The same goes for news stories built around a single source or an animal study or a study that doesn’t mention a control group or is built on a “preprint.” These are essentially rough drafts of studies that have not peer reviewed.

“Results of these studies should not be reported by the media as established information,” warns Gary Schwitzer, the long-time publisher of Health News Review.

“Questions about the quality of the evidence are more important than ever before.”

Melissa’s Musings

By Melissa Anderson Storms and Dark Horses There are a lot of storms happening and even more brewing. The villains are actually heroes, and the heroes are actually incompetent fools.

Dark horses are running against crushing waves of well-known and accepted standards. All the while... here we sit watching and waiting for the end.

Take from that what you will, but most importantly, prepare for the storms yet to come. Economic, political, societal- every aspect of American life is currently in upheaval. It's exhausting to keep up with them and even more exhausting to use critical thinking to determine the right path out of the storms. As a state, North Dakota is there along with every other state in the midst of this struggle of titanic proportions. It's like being lost in what you thought were well-known woods at night with no moonlight to guide you. At least, that is how this tired millennial feels.

One aspect of this current climate that is especially hard to consider is that voices being projected have not been heard and taken seriously. They have not had such a stage to make their case against the accepted standard. Those seeking to change what has been wrought by “experienced leadership” must work twice as hard, if not more, to initiate change. To show that just because that is the way things are does not mean that is the way they should be.

Perhaps one of the hardest things for many during this time is to actively listen- not listen to respond with what they feel but to listen in order to understand. Critical thinking and active listening may not be everyone's go-to when things turn turbulent or an unknown is suddenly looking incredibly likely, but they are mine. The skills will be handy as things progress and storms blow themselves out. Perhaps the most interesting will be the result of the races. Do dark horses stand a chance in running through storms?

Dear Editor

Letter to the Editor: Are you loving an addict to death? Loving someone to death would be labeled as enabling them.

Enabling is to excuse, justify, ignore, deny, and smooth over the addiction. This allows the addicted person to avoid facing the full consequences of their addiction. These consequences are typically the reason a person would hit “rock bottom” and they would reach out for help. If they don’t have consequences why should they stop? They are allowed to ignore responsibilities he or she would otherwise be expected to handle themselves. You enable them by giving them money, paying for a car and phone, paying or providing a place to live, and bailing them out of jail. You love them

by giving them food, seeking professional help, getting them treatment, answering when they call, and taking their addiction serious.

Enabling creates a very dysfunctional relationship where the enabler lives there whole life around the needs and poor decisions of the addicted person. Enabling a person can put them in there grave. When you stop enabling the person it does not mean you stop loving them.

Learn healthy ways to help them.

Murder mystery solved.....

One of the greatest murder mysteries that involved someone from North Dakota didn’t happen here at all but took place in the community of Jackson’s Cove, Ontario.

Dr. Henry Janssen, who had spent 10 years as a family practitioner in Linton, was shot in the back with a sawed-off shotgun and killed Jan. 22, 2008, as he drove home from work.

Dr. Janssen, 58, was a well-liked physician in Linton, as well as in Ontario, who treated a lot of us from new babies to the elderly. He and his wife, Lynn, later moved back to their native Ontario where he started a practice.

On that winter day, he was headed home which is near Kitchener, Ontario. Just before he turned into his own driveway, he was ambushed and killed with a sawed-off shotgun.

Lynn later found him slumped over the steering wheel.

News of the homicide surfaced four days after it happened, but then for three years nobody seemed to know anything about it. After the initial story broke Jan. 26, 2008 in the Toronto Globe & Mail, some of the smaller papers around Jackson’s Cove picked it up and that was it.

The trail went cold.

It was later reported that in the three months following the murder, family members and even defense attorneys were kept in the dark about Janssen’s murder. There were no fol-

low up newspaper reports, no TV coverage, nothing. Then on Jan. 22, 2011, Janssen’s neighbor confessed to the killing in an Owen Sound, Ontario, court room. He admitted using the shotgun he had stolen from Janssen’s home.

Allen Powney, 66, plead guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole for at least 10 years. His confession came just as jury selection for his murder trial was beginning.

In the three years that passed from Janssen’s death to Powney’s confession, there were a lot of rumors including Janssen having an affair with Powney’s wife and someone killed Janssen because they were jealous of his popularity in the area. Court documents indicate, however, that it was actually Lynn Janssen who had an affair with Powney. When she broke it off in two years, Powney stole the weapon and used it to kill Dr. Janssen.

Powney told the court he was enraged that Lynn Janssen broke off the relationship, and he wanted to see her suffer because of it. Oddly enough, there are no court documents indicating when or if Lynn Janssen told her family members about her affair with Powney.

What it all means is that Dr. Janssen was an innocent bystander and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He left behind his wife, his children, Rebecca and David, and six siblings.

The 6’7” Janssen was a star wide receiver with the University of Western Ontario in London and was drafted by the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League.

However, he chose to go to medical school. He graduated from Western Ontario’s Medical School in 1978 and completed his internship at Scarborough General Hospital in 1979 where he and Lynn met. A short time later they came to Linton, spending 10 years at the clinic and hospital before moving back to his hometown of Woodstock, Ontario, where he started a family practice.

They later purchased their home in Jackson’s Cove where they would meet Powney and his wife, Elaine.

During his time in Linton, he often talked about what it would have been like to play professional football for the Stampeders, but everyone knew he loved medicine more than football.

Ken Pritchard, an Ontario colleague of Dr. Janssen, released a statement upon Janssen’s death.

“Henry was a commanding presence towering over most of us and bringing with him a sense of humor that was infectious and much appreciated in the hectic world of hospital care and medical practice,” he told the Globe & Mail. “To say that it will be difficult to move forward without him is an understatement.”

In his spare time, Janssen thoroughly enjoyed hiking, boating, rock landscaping and, of course, keeping up with the CFL. Family members said he wasn’t slowing down in his late 50s. He was his own man, and he had a passion for what he did.

Court documents have only recently been released to the public domain. A short newspaper article appeared in the Owen Sound Sun -Times after Downey confessed in 2011 then quiet until now.

Producer’s options for prevent plant acres Due to the ongoing saturated soil conditions, there will be considerable number of acres, which will be prevented planting in 2020. Overall, 2020 projection for North Dakota is about one million acres. If producers are not able to plant their regular crops by the final planting dates, they will have the following four options.

Planting Insured Crops after the Final Planting Date Producers can still plant regular insured crops during the late planting period, which is generally 25 days after the final planting date.

However, after the final planting date, crop insurance yield or revenue protection guarantees will be reduced one percent for each day. If we use spring wheat as an example and our “Proven Yield History” is 50 bushels per acre, at 70% crop insurance coverage, there will be a yield guarantee of 35 bushels per acre. That will mean losing one-percent of 35 bushels per day, if wheat is planted after the final planting date and during the late planting period. In addition, planting after the final planting dates may result in reduced actual yield and quality and higher expenses for controlling disease or weed pressure. There will be no coverage if regular crops are planted after the late planting period.

Leave the Prevent Plant Acres Bare and Get Full Prevent Plant Payments Producers can leave their prevent plant acres bare in 2020 and get full prevent plant payments. Generally, prevent plant guarantee is 5060% of the crop insurance yield or revenue guarantees with an option of increasing it 5% more by paying higher premiums. That will mean that if crop insurance guaranteed

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent New Beginnings Change is something that will inevitably happen in our lives, whether we want it to or not. Sometimes people dread change, while other times, it’s embraced. We often have times of change that are amazing and exciting, like a new puppy joining the family or a new career like my opportunity here at the NDSU Extension Office in Cavalier County. But, we also have times of change that can be a difficult thing for us to comprehend or handle, such as the pandemic or social unrest that has been happening lately.

It sometimes has to do with the topic at hand, where or how the need to change originated, whether we feel like the change is good thing, or whether or not we have fear of safety or the unknown.

As I’ve grown older, I like to think of change as something that can bring us a new beginning. Even though beginnings can be scary and the means by which we get there can be tumultuous, if we embrace it as a new beginning, sometimes we more easily accept the unbearable. There is a quote someone gave me within the last year, and it really resonates with me: “And suddenly you know. It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” ~Meister Eckhart.

Maybe that’s something to keep in mind, especially when things are feeling overwhelming because of

Agriculture yield for spring wheat is 35 bushels per acre if planted before the “Final Planting Date”, full prevent plant yield guarantee at 60% coverage will be 21 bushels per acre.

Prevent plant coverage is reduced compared to regular crop insurance coverage as there will be savings for not buying seed, fertilizer and fuel etc. Overall, prevent plant payments do provide producers some revenue during hard times, however, in most years, planting and harvesting regular crops is more profitable. So, the strategy should be to take advantage of the prevent plant program and adopt practices, which reduce the chances of prevent plant acres in 2021. If left bare, chances of 2020 prevent plant acres going into prevent planting again in 2021 are much greater compared to planting an affordable cover crop

mix that not only uses the excess moisture in 2020 and improve soil health but can also generate some much-needed revenue.

Plant a Cover Crop and Get Full Prevent Plant Payments If the idea is to reduce chances of 2020 prevent plant acres going into prevented planting again in 2021, improve soil health and generate some income by harvesting the cover crop mix on or after November 1st, producers can spend up to $15-20 (or less) for a cover crop mix along with getting the full prevent plant payments. Yes, they do not have to spend money for planting a cover crops, however, planting an affordable and simple cover crop mix can prove essential for improving long-term soil health and farm profitability. Sometimes it may not even cost anything as some produc-

ers may have some spare barley/ oats and field pea seed in their bins.

Planting 30 pounds each of barley and peas per acre will provide a nice mix of a high carbon crop with a legume. Below are some general mixes for reducing erosion and improving soil health on non-salinesodic and saline-sodic areas.

Plant a Cover Crop to Hay or Graze and Get reduced Prevent Plant Payments If there is an opportunity to generate decent revenue by haying and/or grazing the cover crop, producers can legally harvest the cover crops before November 1st and still get 35% of the “Guaranteed Prevent Plant Coverage”. That will mean that if full prevent plant coverage was 21 bushels per acre and cover crop was harvested before November 1st, producers are still guaranteed 7.35 bushels of spring wheat per acre. So it is a matter of deciding how much revenue could be generated by harvesting the cover crop to make up for losing 13.65 bushels of wheat per acre. However, in order to harvest cover crops before November 1st and still get the 35% prevent plant payment, cover crops need to be planted after the late planting period. In northeast,

the final planting date for planting wheat is June 5th. If we add 25 days of late planting period, producers can plant cover crops on the acres where they could not plant wheat on July 1st and claim 35% of the prevent plant payment. If planted this early during the growing-season, one can hay/graze that cover crop in mid-August and can hay/graze the regrowth again in late-September or early-October. If producers can make up for losing 65% of the prevent plant coverage and make some additional profits along with still getting 35% of the prevent plant payments, haying/grazing twice in one-season can do wonders for soil health. Below are some of the general cover crop mixes for haying and grazing.

Note: Harvesting cover crops here means harvesting for hay, grazing, silage, haylage and baleage and not for grain. Also, in order to balance the C:N ratios for faster decomposition of the crop residue, each mix includes either a legume or a green broadleaf.

change. Maybe these times are the transition to a magical new beginning.

During this huge time of disruption, change, or what we could consider new beginnings, there are a few things that have come to mind either in conversation with others or even in my own thoughts that might help us all get through these times.

The first thing is to take care of yourself and your needs. Keep a schedule. Not only do children thrive on schedules, adults do, too. Find things to occupy your mind that don’t have to do with the things that are causing you stress.

Turn off social media or the news for a moment, sit back, and try to find the joy in the things you love or that have purpose in your life. Be present. Get adequate sleep, good nutrition, deeply breath some fresh air, and get some exercise. All of those things are healing to not only the body but also the soul.

Give yourself some grace. It’s okay to be uncertain. It’s okay to have fear. It’s okay to not fully understand where things are headed and how we are supposed to get there. It’s what we do with these feelings that can either help us adjust or make life miserable. Our own self-talk is probably the most critical at times, so we deserve to give ourselves some grace about how we feel about things that are happening in our lives. Giving grace helps us find peace.

And last, but definitely not least, be kind to others. We can agree or disagree, but the means by which we do it can make all the differ-

ence in the world. It’s okay that people feel differently than others.

It’s okay that some people are okay with licking the door handles and others are afraid to even touch them when going out in public right now.

The world works a lot better, and things seem to appear easier to handle, if we are all kind to each other.

Check up on others and how they are doing by simply asking “What can I do to help you right now?”

You don’t have to agree with them.

You don’t even have to understand.

All you have to do is acknowledge that you care enough about them as a PERSON, and things will already begin to feel better for everyone.

As these changes are happening in our world and lives, lets embrace the new and think of them as beginnings. Beginnings are bright, shiny, and refreshing. I am excited about the new beginnings that have been presented to me, and I extend the question to you “What can I do to help you right now?” That is an open question to all of you. I hope that you feel free to contact me at any time with any questions, needs, or suggestions you may have either for yourself or someone you know that could use my help. I can be reached in the following ways: the NDSU Extension Office, Courthouse, 901 3rd St., Ste. 7, Langdon, ND 58249; by phone at 701-256-2560; and by email at katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. I am excited for my new beginning at NDSU Extension in Cavalier County. I’m looking forward to what the future holds because I’m trusting in the magic of new beginnings.

How God Speaks (Part 3 of 4) In this four part series we have so far seen that God speaks through His Word (the Bible) and through His Son, Jesus. We now turn our attention to the third way He speaks, through His spirit.

The third person of the trinity is indeed God, according to Acts 5:3-4. The Bible also teaches that the Holy Spirit is eternal (Hebrews 9:14), omnipresent (Psalm 139: 7-10), and creator (Job 33:4).

According to John 16:7-11, the Holy Spirit speaks to the world about three things: 1)the sin of unbelief in Jesus Christ. (convicting the world of their need of receiving Christ as their Savior), 2) the necessity of righteousness (found only in Christ Himself), and 3) the

judgment coming upon angels and mankind.

Revelations 2 and 3 tells us the Spirit speaks the words of Jesus Christ to His Church….”He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches”. The Holy Spirit speaks to believers as He teaches the “things of God” through the Word of God (John 14:26 and 16:12-15). He speaks to believers who sin by convicting them (Ephesians 4:30-31). But best of all, according to Romans 8:16, He speaks to the believer’s heart about the blessed assurance of belonging to the Lord.

He that hath an ear, let him hear!

We’d love to hear from you! Contact us at emmanuel@utma.com.

It’s quitting time in North Dakota June 15-21 Tobacco and e-cigarette users in North Dakota are encouraged to set a quit date during It’s Quitting Time June 15-21. It’s Quitting Time is a partnership between the North Dakota Department of Health, Tobacco Free North Dakota, and North Dakota local public health units to bring awareness to the dangers of tobacco and nicotine during a statewide quit week.

Tobacco and e-cigarette use are associated with several health risks including many types of cancers, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory illness. E-cigarette use is linked to E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), a serious respiratory illness that could be severe and lifethreatening. There is also growing evidence that smoking and e-cigarette use increase the risk of serious complications from COVID-19.

As of May 31, 2020, in North Dakota 13.8% of non-hospitalized COVID-19 cases have been cigarette smokers while 20.7% of hospitalized COVID-19 cases have been cigarette smokers.

It’s Quitting Time is an opportunity for tobacco and e-cigarette users to seek help quitting from a healthcare provider, a pharmacist, NDQuits, or Cavalier County Health District. These entities can help develop a quit plan and provide tools and resources to greatly improve a tobacco user’s odds at

success. Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic 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.

“Quitting tobacco or e-cigarettes doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Resources are available at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic (CCMH). We’re here to help you every step and can help you stay tobacco-free for good,” said Nancy Boe, Tobacco Treatment Specialist with CCMH. “We hope North Dakotans use It’s Quitting Time as an opportunity to get help quitting tobacco and e-cigarettes.”

Despite declining tobacco use rates in North Dakota, 19.1% of adults in the state still smoke. According to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, smoking causes 1,000 deaths each year in the state, and contributes to about $326 million in annual healthcare. Tobacco is still a problem in North Dakota.

Cavalier County Health District, Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinic, Tobacco Free North Dakota, and NDQuits are committed to reducing the toll tobacco has on our state.

To learn about resources available to quit tobacco, contact CCMH at 701-256-6100 or www.nquits. health.nd.gov.

First Care Health Center welcomes gastroenterologist First Care Health Center in Park River, North Dakota, welcomes Dr. Mirza B. Baig to join the medical team at First Care Health Center.

Dr. Baig is a gastroenterologist with over twenty years of experience. He will be available for consultations and procedures at First Care Health Center beginning in June. First Care Health Center is looking forward to this partnership with Dr. Baig and for the expansion of his practice within the facility.

Dr. Baig will be performing upper endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures. An upper endoscopy is a procedure that allows a doctor to examine the lining of the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. There are many reasons why a patient may have this procedure. These include assessment of upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing; determining and possibly treating the cause of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract; detecting inflammation, ulcers, or tumors of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum; diagnosis and monitoring acid reflux; stretching narrow parts of the esophagus; and removing polyps or swallowed objects.

A colonoscopy is an examination of the lining of the colon. A physician may order this procedure to

evaluate the source of bleeding, to sample or remove polyps, to biopsy a mass, to detect possible recurrent polyps or cancer, or to evaluate the improvement or progression of Inflammatory Bowel Disease such as Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. A colonoscopy may also be ordered for routine screening or if a patient has a family history of colon cancer.

If you think you may need either of these procedures, please consult with your physician.

Dr. Baig is a welcoming addition to the medical team. He has two ac-

tive children in their teens. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his children and taking part in the arts, including painting.  Dr. Baig is a native of Pakistan where he attended Dow Medical College and received Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees. He completed internships in General Medicine and General Surgery, followed by an Internal Medicine Residency at Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago.

Dr. Baig then completed fellowships in gastroenterology and hepatology through Chicago Medical School and Harvard Medical School, receiving years of training in these specialized areas.

Dr. Baig is available for consults and procedures beginning in midJune at First Care Health Center. To make an appointment, please call First Care Health Center Surgical Services at 701- 284-4682.

First Care Health Center is proud to provide our communities with professional care with a personal touch – all day, every day, all year.

Thank you for the support for the District 10 House seat.

Schill claims first River Cities Speedway victory of 2020

Two-time and defending River Cities Speedway track champion, Lance Schill of Langdon, returned to victory lane on Friday at the three-tenths mile oval. Terry Nelson and Ronnie Novacek made up the front row for the Happy Harry’s Bottle Shops Midwest Mod feature, but Schill made a big move to take the lead with a daring three-wide pass on the opening lap. Once out front, Schill opened up a comfortable lead. Schill ran unchallenged until a caution set up a restart between himself and opening night winner Matt Schow with just four laps remaining. As the green flag flew, Schill quickly jumped out to a five-car length lead once again and picked up the win. Schill also debuted his NLRA Late Model on Friday night, where he raced to a solid sixth-place finish. By Mike Spieker and photo by Emily Wicklund.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

A little break in the action We start this week by telling you I'm writing this column one handed this week, due to something a little embarrassing. I had an accident at home recently, tripping over a clothes hamper in the dark and dislocating my left shoulder and also fracturing a bone. It's made things more than a little interesting in my life that's for sure. I'll find out if I need surgery on June 15, and go from there. It's amazing how we can take things for granted. Little things like getting dressed, taking a shower (And other things I better not mention) have been very challenging. But as Sister Jan told me "It takes a village to get through something like this", and thankfully I have a huge one. Special thanks to my sister, Marty Tetrault, Ted Delfs, all my Hard Times brothers, the great people at KNDK and the Republican, the staff at CCMH and Altru plus many others for helping me get through this. This is the first

Cavalier County Republican

time I've ever gone through something like this, and you have all made it a lot easier. Thank you.

Red Sox get season underway Let's get to some happier news this week. Local sports are finally getting underway across the state, and the Langdon Red Sox Class B Independent team finally got their first game in at home versus Hatton-Northwood on June 10. This league is taking the place of American Legion Baseball for the summer. Although they lost 9-7 to a very good team, it just meant a lot to everyone involved to get out on the field and play some hardball.

Everything went well, and the Red Sox next home game will be July 18 versus Grafton at 5:30 p.m. You can find game coverage of the Red Sox in this week's Republican.

Babe Ruth, Little League and Girls Softball to start this week The last shoes to drop so to speak summer baseball wise are beginning in the week ahead, with 10U and 12U baseball, Babe Ruth baseball and Girls Softball all getting underway. Babe Ruth, 8U and 10U baseball will play Tuesdays and Thursday, whileT:6.75” 12U baseball and girls softball will play on Mondays

and Wednesdays. With everything else going on, this should make for some very busy times at the diamonds. That is beyond great to see.

Kids have been cooped for months and have plenty of energy to burn, as any parent will tell you. We wish all area teams good luck and we hope the kids have fun summer.

Tournament Time at the Langdon Country Club June 20 As we have told you several times in the past weeks, many tournaments at the Langdon Country Club have either been postponed or outright cancelled for this summer. However one has been added, and it's coming up on June 20. The club will host a fundraising tournament on Saturday, June 20, starting at 10am. It's a 2-person format tourney, and all ages are invited to play. A meal is included in your 100 dollar entry fee, and all proceeds go to club and course maintenance.

To sign up, you can do that at clubhouse or call -256-5938 for more information. As we have also said many times here, and course is in tremendous shape, so get out an enjoy!

"See ya!" next week!

We can help you save with Lifeline.

Raquel Bata, daughter of Randy and Janelle Bata, and Sean Gette, son of Todd and Min Gette, presented their Senior Piano Recital on June 9. Due to Covid19, the recital was invitation only.

The students were very happy to have had the chance to perform their pieces before a live audience being so many events of their senior year were cancelled due to the pandemic.

The program consisted of music from a variety of classical periods.

Raquel Bata performed Divenire

by Einaudi, Divertimento by Wagenseil, and Wedding at Troldhaugen by Grieg. Sean Gette performed Sonata in C Minor, Opus 13

by Beethoven and Bumble Boogie

by Jack Fina. The seniors also performed two ensemble pieces, Toucan Tango by Austin and Jambalaya by Rocherolle. Jamalaya was a 2-piano, 8-hands piece so Sydney Crockett and Lisa Schuler were guest performers. Raquel was also featured on her clarinet, playing Tambourin by Gossec, accompanied

by Lisa Schuler.

Raquel Bata has been taking piano lessons for 13 years. Besides piano, she is also involved in band, 4-H, FCCLA, FBLA, Student Council, National Honor Society, Nation-

al Society of High School Scholars, Junior Bank Board, and Catholic Youth Organization. She plans to attend the University of Mary in Bismarck this fall and plans to double major in Business Administration and Marketing and minor in Spanish.

S e a n Gette has been taking piano for 13 years. For 5 of those years he took lessons from Cheryl Jeffers, a piano teacher in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The remaining 8 years of his piano career was spent with Lisa Schuler. Sean has also been involved in football, basketball, track, FBLA, Catholic Youth Organization, band, and jazz band. He will be going to the United States Marine Corps this November.

Both Sean and Raquel have participated in annual music rallies, performed in numerous recitals, and played in Master Classes sponsored by the Langdon Area Music Teachers Association and Popplers Music Sore in Grand Forks.

Sean and Raquel are piano students of Lisa Schuler. Lisa is very proud of their commitment to their piano studies. She has enjoyed watching them grow up and share their talents with the community and wishes them the very best with their bright futures.

QUENTIN WENZEL Notary Public, Cavalier County State of North Dakota My Commission Expires December 26, 2022 J15 _______________________________

Four million Americans, including may people in North Dakota, are receiving their economic impact payment using debit cards from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Many people are questioning the legitimacy of these cards. Some people have even thrown away the cards thinking they were a scam.

These debit cards are legitimate and being sent to those people who don’t have a financial institution on file with the IRS. The stimulus payment is loaded on the debit card.

Auditor Report – R. Hoffarth reported comments about the cone on Main Street; Commission will bring back ideas to the next meeting.

Unfinished Business: Phase 1 - Sewer, Water, Storm Water Improvements – RD Project (Quam Construction) • Are communicating with the contractor on schedule for corrective work.

• May be utilizing other subcontractors to finish.

Phase 2 - Sewer, Water, Storm Water Improvements – RD Project (Spruce Valley) • Payment Estimate #7 • Amount $860,664.14 – L. Henry made the motion to pay Spruce Valley payment, seconded by M. Tetrault. All members voted in favor.

• Next step is to perform a review of the site to determine punch list items – planning later this week.

• Engineering amendment to account for hourly services expended in the field this spring.

• Amount $10,761 – This amount is covered with grant dollars – J. Rademacher made the motion to approve the amendment, seconded

by L. Henry. All members voted in favor.

Sidewalk Project – CDBG Project (Plummer Construction) • Contractor will start grouting on the shale pop outs in a few test locations as the Activity Center to verify product applicability in the next week or two.

Street Evaluation • Planning on doing the evaluation later this month.

Other Items • Hydrant replacement request

Part of the problem is that the EIP debit card arrives in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services.” Activating the card also requires a Social Security number to activate which has also raised red flags among recipients.

But don’t let your guard down when it comes to detecting scams.

These debit cards offer scammers a new opportunity, including copycat cards that may be sent out in the days ahead along with attempts to capture your personal financial information.

The letter accompanying the card

Cavalier County Republican

tells recipients they will need to call the phone number and register the card with a PIN and their Social Security number. Be very careful that you call the correct phone number and do not use a number you find by an Internet search. Scammers place fake customer service phone numbers to deceive people into calling them instead.

Also, do not give your PIN, EIP debit card number or Social Security number to anyone that calls, emails or texts you asking to verify the receipt of your card. Make sure to fully read the terms and conditions included in the card to understand how it will operate and where you can use it for transactions.

You can find information on these debit cards online at https:// www.eipcard.com/.

By Rita Maisel

The Down Side of Any Age In the past there have been columns about local residents who have aged gracefully and maybe solved all their problems before they arose. This week is the story of a personal experience which could befall anyone reading this. While I do try not to write about myself, readers might find some hints in the story that would be helpful for themselves. In the meantime I am already a veteran at being described as a disorganized old lady.

What happened is that I lost my purse which just happened to contain all the normal things that older ladies try not to leave home without: driver’s license, checkbook, keys, Medicare and Blue Cross cards, and other small items.

If you read that and said “Not my mother or grandmother’s purse,” you could be right. Years ago I had lovely purses with forty-seven

pockets, so to speak, and room for almost anything: medicine, tissues, pictures, notebook and pens, makeup, sometimes a map, small snacks and at times an address book with telephone numbers- plus, of course, a small coin purse in case I had to phone for help or an emergency.

A lot of things changed with time.

Two broken elbows (not at the same time) made carrying those heavy bags around a hazard. Shoulder strap bags caused their own problems, and knee surgeries taught me that a cane can be your best friend.

You cannot carry a purse well with an arm in a cast or sling so the essential items needed when I left home became smaller and smaller.

A zip-lock bag with a red slider made the bag more visible and allowed me to see what was inside.

The quart size could contain the most urgently needed items plus I could put the grocery list inside and read it through the plastic while pushing the cart up and down the aisles.

In fact, that was what I was doing last Saturday evening while the wind blew outside and rain came from time to time. At the check-

out counter, I wrote a check, and the clerk handed me change which must have gone into the baggy purse since that change has not surfaced since that time. Normally I put the baggy purse into one of the bags trying to minimize the number of items to carry to the car. In the entrance area I collected the three bags of groceries to carry to the car and found one had a torn handle so that had to be tied together---a remembered distraction-- and then made my way out to the car carrying the bags and my cane. One bag spilled over on the seat going home.

That can happen easily. To make a long story short, both the groceries and the driver got home a bit damp because of the weather but glad to have that chore out of the way.

The next morning was the first Sunday in church for a long time. I had planned to get there by 9 a.m. to play a prelude as the people came in and rushed around a bit to get there.

Did I have my purse with me? Not greeting each other, we did not pay a lot of attention to what other people might or might not have carried in with them. As a result no one really knows if I had brought it with me to

church although I normally do that.

By force of habit, when church was over I looked for the purse. Not finding it, I raced home to see if it was there and, again, no luck. Several trips more were made both to home and the church in searching, and we even checked the trash as well as the parking lots in case I had dropped it going in or out.

Early Monday morning I woke up thinking maybe I had left it in the cart at the store or dropped it going out to the car. Employees at the store checked their normal lost and found, trash cans nearby and mentioned contacting the sheriff or the bank. I spent that day checking parking lots at the store, church and home as well as a visit to the bank.

If anyone reading this finds a baggie stuffed with a checkbook, cards, some money and a heavy coin purse with coins and keys, it might be mine. Feel free to use the tickets for senior bus rides and meals (found in a smaller baggie with the driver’s license). If you are young and would not pass for a decrepit old lady you might have trouble using the Medicare ID items or the driver’s license. I actually would like those back. At the present time I am working on ways around the missing keys.

What can we learn from all this?

That it could happen to anyone of any age who was distracted or

blinked at the wrong time. I was lucky that I had no credit cards which are prized by those who might try to steal identity from the items enclosed. The checks for this month’s bills had already been sent.

In the rush of the moment, I learned the best place to start is with your bank, and this week the lobby is open so you can do it face to face.

I am really grateful for their experience, help and advice.

One small trick I had discovered because of vision problems was to keep tickets, cards and other items grouped in little snack bags so I could see at a glance if this was what I needed for a bus ride, a visit to the clinic or planned for a special treat.

Something I had not thought about before is that having a list of your identification items would be helpful to anyone living alone or in a family. That would certainly help with replacing medical cards and emergency numbers. Things get lost in fires, bad weather, accidents or unexpected situations.

While this type of problem is a concern for older people, one of the main things I learned from the experience is that it can happen to anyone and getting your life back to normal takes time and patience.

Maybe some of the steps listed above will help you if it happens to you.

Victory gardens making a comeback?

North Dakota State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt During this pandemic, you may have started doing things you never imagined doing before: homeschooling your children, working from home, canceling your trips, and preparing more meals at home.

We have also struggled to find our favorite items in the grocery stores.

Some of our favorites have been nearly nonexistent, especially in the produce aisle. Schmidty and I are gardeners. We love the taste of fresh cucumbers, green beans, and the bite of that first tomato of the season. We typically order our seeds in March, but this year they were held up in shipping or back ordered. It seems many people are now starting their gardens to provide for their families. Are the Victory Gardens from World War II making a comeback?

Victory Gardens began when, like now, you could only find certain items in the grocery store.

Many Americans started planting vegetables, fruit, and herb gardens to supplement their rations. Victory Gardens became a regular part of daily life for many families because, along with enhancing their food source, it was also a morale booster for families as they worked together to provide for their family.

With the food industry struggling to maintain production, along with prices on the rise, seed companies and garden centers are flourishing! Gardening is a $50+ billion industry! According to the National Gardening Association, more than one-third of US households are now growing a portion of their food, the highest level in a decade. Gardening can result in dramatic cost sav-

ings for families, and with recent layoffs, everyone can benefit from saving money. The money saved and the comfort of knowing you have fresh vegetables to feed your family is priceless.

It may be a bit late to start planting this year, but it is never too late to plan for next. Here are a few things to consider before you start a garden: 1. What to plant? Do you like squash but only eat it occasionally?

Then maybe squash is not the plant for you. Plant what your family will eat, as not to create waste. Choose vegetables that can easily be frozen or canned if you produce too much.

Yum! 2. Small yard? You can plant many vegetables where you would traditionally grow flowers or shrubs. Some vegetables and herbs can do just as well when grown in containers.

3. New to gardening? The National Gardening Association has a variety of great resources to get you started.

How much can you save by growing your produce? On average, a half-pound of vegetables is produced per square foot of the garden, which could mean 300 pounds of fresh produce worth $600 annually! In addition to the financial aspects of growing your garden, the health benefits of eating nutritious, wholesome food, being outside, and playing in the dirt are good for the soul and our mental health. It’s a win-win!
