The 37th Annual Frost Fire Summer Theatre is back on stage this year with “The Marvelous Wonderettes!” to entertain you with songs and nostalgia. The musical comedy by Roger Bean is packed with jukebox hits from the 1950s and 1960s, including “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “Stupid Cupid”, “Lipstick on Your Collar”, “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me”, “It’s My Party”, and “It’s in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)”. Bean also wrote “Route 66” which was performed at Frost Fire in 2018 and “Life Could Be a Dream” which was the production in 2019. In “The Marvelous Wonderettes!” Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy are four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, the girls serenade us with classic hits. When called upon to perform at their senior prom as a last minute replacement, the girls rally together to entertain their classmates in four-part harmony. In Act II, the Wonderettes reunite to take the stage and perform at their ten-year reunion. We learn about the highs and lows the girls have experienced in the past decade and are charmed to find that no matter what life throws their way, they will conquer it together. “It is a wonderful stroll down memory lane that features some of the most popular female vocalist hits of the 1950’s and
and see your classroom,” said Laturnus. “You will even be able to find your picture on the wall starting in 1957, the first graduating class from the present school.” Lunch will be served at the city park from 11:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. by the Munich Park Board in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the park. Eight years ago, Monsanto Bayer awarded $5,000
to the Munich City Park. This sparked a mission to replace the old playground equipment before the 50th anniversary. That project has been completed as well as resurfacing the tennis court (pickleball anyone?) and a few other improvements. Entertainment will follow lunch with speakers Mayor Craig Schommer and Richard Ritter, one of the original park board members that started the city park 50 years ago. Peter Foss will highlight the afternoon festivities with an hour of comedy. There will be children’s T-ball and kickball at the ball diamond

Tour de Rendezvous Region event coming up The Rendezvous Region in northeastern North Dakota offers many spaces, roadways, and trails in Park River, Grafton, Cavalier, Langdon, Walhalla, and Icelandic State Park for the cycling enthusiast. Low traffic and excellent roads throughout the region make for great cross-country bike trips when planting or harvesting is not active. The Tour de Rendezvous Region is a summer cycling event that started in 2017 as a way to promote t o u r ism and showcase the beauty and outdoor activities in the area. Past participants have been from Minnesota, Canada, and all around North Dakota, including Bismarck, Fargo, and Grand Forks. “If you have not biked on the open highways, you should definitely try it,” said Tour organizer Nathan Smith. “It’s pretty cool to be surrounded by green fields and just the sound of nature!” This year the Tour de Rendezvous Region will be held on Saturday, June 26, starting at 10:00 a.m. There will be a 32mile route and a 60-mile route. Both routes will begin and end
at Boyd Block at the intersection of 3rd Street and 8th Avenue in Langdon. The 32-mile route will go from Langdon to the Canadian Border and back. The 60-mile route will do the same and then continue on to Nekoma and back. Water, energy bars, granola bars, and bananas will be available along the routes. “Boyd Block should be a great start and finish area to eat and grab a beer at the E a g l e s ,” said Smith. Langdon Eagles will be selling sloppy joes and hot ham and cheese sandwiches after the ride. Smith’s sister, Heather, is providing homemade monster cookies! Smith advises beginners to get used to sitting in a bike seat for an extended period of time before going on a long ride. He said that if you can avoid the discomfort of the seat, it makes for a much better ride! You can start with the shorter ride, and if you feel up to it, you can attempt to do the longer route. The top three male and female riders for each route will be acknowledged. cont. on page 2

Cavalier County Commissioners meeting held By Jared Entzi Republican Writer The Cavalier County Commission met on June 15 at 8:30 a.m. for their bi-weekly meeting. The first order of business was Nick Moser motioning to appoint Commissioner Austin Lafrenz back to the library board. Stanley Dick seconded the motion; motion passed. The board had two open spots prior to the appointing of Diane Schill and wanted a commissioner on the board, if possible. Austin Lafrenz will now fill that position. Terry Johnston met with the commissioners to discuss county roads and road crew. The blade crew was the topic of discussion: monitoring idle time/ blading time, use of downtime, and quality of work. Although the commissioners are concerned about how downtime is being spent, they acknowledge the quality of our roads are most definitely not sub-par. Stanley Dick made a motion to replace
a culvert Adam Olson had requested to be looked into. Greg Goodman seconded the motion; motion passed. Steph Welsh with Public Health is requesting the county courthouse assume ownership of an electronic sign to be installed at the courthouse. The courthouse would then be responsible for insurance costs, which would be $15 a year, the electrical portion of the install, and on-going maintenance costs. Moser made a motion to approve the request, Goodman seconded the motion, and the motion was carried. Greg Fetsch, sheriff of Cavalier County, met with the commissioners to discuss budgeting. His topic of conversation was hiring additional dispatchers for the office. The commissioners are weary about the proposed budget increase, however, Fetsch insists that in order to keep the jail functional going forward, it is not feasible to continue operation at current staff levels. The commissioners tossed thoughts

around although the general consensus agreed with Fetsch. No decisions have been made at this time, and budgets will be reviewed at a later date. The conditional burn ban is under review. The commissioners agree it is not required with the moisture received. Although some are weary conditions could change, the motion was made by Goodman to cancel the existing burn ban to be reviewed at every meeting going forward throughout the summer due to possible changing conditions. Stanley Dick seconded the motion; motion carried. The commissioners would like to clarify, from the June 1st meeting, that increases in Cavalier County employees' pay were given due to employees not receiving an increase in 2021 and overall financial improvement by the county. Although health insurance rates going down was beneficial for the county, it was not a factor that held any weight in the decision of said raises.

Langdon City Commissioners meet with full agenda for their first meeting in June By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met June 14, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall for their scheduled meeting. Department reports started with the street department reporting that a truck had been hauled to Drayton for repairs and a different truck is needing a new air tank. The fire department is waiting on bids for the driveway outside bays. The water department clarified that the colored water residents may have noticed the week prior was fixed. Sanitation reported that clean up week was successful and went well. The Activity Center floor materials have been delivered, and donations have reached $92,000. The police department reported that this was the last year contracted and that a vote will be coming in the next year for the police department. The city auditor reported the American Rescue Plan Act would be a good bill to look into for funding and is as follows: Passed Senate (03/06/2021) American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 This bill provides additional relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses. Specifically, the bill provides funding for • agriculture and nutrition programs, including the Supple-
mental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program) • schools and institutions of higher education • child care and programs for older Americans and their families • COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, treatment, and prevention • mental health and substance-use disorder services • emergency rental assistance, homeowner assistance, and other housing programs • payments to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments for economic relief • multiemployer pension plans • small business assistance, including specific programs for restaurants and live venues • programs for health care workers, transportation workers, federal employees, veterans, and other targeted populations • international and humanitarian responses • tribal government services • scientific research and development • state, territorial, and tribal capital projects that enable work, education, and health monitoring in response to COVID-19 • health care providers in rural areas The bill also includes provisions that • extend unemployment benefits and related services • make up to $10,200 of 2020 unemployment compensation tax-free
• make student loan forgiveness tax-free through 2025 • provide a maximum recovery rebate of $1,400 per eligible individual • expand and otherwise modify certain tax credits, including the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit • provide premium assistance for certain health insurance coverage • require coverage, without cost-sharing, of COVID-19 vaccines and treatment under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) The city auditor also reported that letters have been sent out to residents that have been neglecting to cut their grass. There was also discussion for the health department to get involved as animal feces is covering lawns for several properties and becoming hazardous. The 2019 audit is almost finished and will roll into working on the 2020 audit as COVID threw a wrench in 2020. The budgets are out to the departments and being worked on now. The cash report from the city auditor was a request to move $100,000 from the water account to the sewer account for different lines. Bids for tearing down the old water plant are in, but before a final vote is made, there will need to be verification that valves are in order. When the city switched to Devils Lake for water, the city ran it thought the old water plant in case it did not go as planned and needed to switch back. Now that the wa-
school year and prepare the program for the upcoming year. K-2 teachers are scheduled, beginning August 2nd, to create proficiency scales assessment and activities in order to prepare for standard-based learning. The Return to Learning Plan has been revised with the help from Public Health nurse Steph Welsh. The revised plan was approved and will be located on the school website (www.langdon.k12.nd.us). The board can revise the Return to Learning Plan at any time if an outbreak of COVID-19 occurs. Langdon Area Cardinals Athletic Cooperative was motioned and approved for St. Alphonsus, Munich, and Edmore school districts. A congratulations was said for the girls track team taking home the regional championship. Girls golf team took 2nd at regionals and qualified for the state tournament. The boys golf team missed qualifying by 1 stroke but had 2 individual qualifiers. Baseball had a very strong finish to the season tak-
ing home the Region and State Championship. Coach Krivarchka was named Coach of the Year and Simon Romfo named Player of the Year for Class B Baseball. The annual election was held on June 8, and the ballots are in. Overall, there were 320 ballots unofficially cast. Tiffany Hetletved won the city seat, and Andrea Moser won the rural write-in seat. Andrea Moser respectfully declined the position for the rural seat since although she is a permanent resident of the US, she is not a US citizen. With that, the board will appoint a willing individual to take the seat for this year until the next election in June 2022. Appointment must occur within 60 days, so the board is hoping to appoint at the next meeting in July. A vote to have the paper report the minutes came in with a solid yes with 300 votes. A special meeting is scheduled for July 20 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the transition of new board members. The annual meeting is scheduled on July 26 at 7:00 p.m.
Langdon Area School Board meeting recently held By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon Area School Board met June 14, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. for their scheduled meeting. The meeting started with a review of past minutes, bills, and the business manager's report. Business manager Shauna Schneider has completed training and certification for her position and received recognition for doing so. Superintendent Christianson reported that the delivering of materials for various projects has the janitors busy, and the baseball team has requested to use the mini bus, when available, as they have done in the past. The busses are getting up in miles and needing maintenance so the usage of the mini buses needs to be minimal. Mr. Hetler attended the NDCEL Summer Conference in Bismarck. Mr. Hetler and Mr. Askvig will attend the PowerSchool end of the year workshop in Minot this month to go through procedures to end the

tenants that are conducting business on the owner’s property and using services, such as water, sewer and garbage, the owner shall be assessed a fee of $200.00 per month the tenant was on the property and not reported by the owner to the city auditor for the City of Langdon. First Reading: June 14, 2021 Jocelyn Jennings, owner and operator of Langdon Electrolysis Clinic, attended the meeting and brought her concerns to the table. She made points that for some of the full-time businesses and businesses that have private space that this might not be a big deal, but for part-time businesses like herself - this would have a big impact. The board explained that the fee is for simply having access to the city amenities like water and sewer and that the bill would not come to her but the business owner. With that, business owners may feel with the extra fee that they may charge tenants this fee meaning it would fall on the renter. Jennings did ask if the city would provide more amenities for the minimal fee/ tenant even if the shared meter does not read that and where the extra money intake would go to. The City replied that the money accumulated from these fees would go towards the water project and that the fee is for general access. The City did point out that some cities/townships have a business licensing fee for businesses and that this was the better route they believed. The second reading will be at the next meeting. The public is welcome to attend and express concerns at that meeting. JDA came to the table with an annual request for funds for the developmental center that works with businesses and banks for business plans. The request was motioned and approved. It was brought up that At the Hop bar is waiting on bids to repair the building this fall. It was a concern if the building is structurally sound and will be looked into as the side that is falling down is not the side being used. Quentin Wenzel is working on waivers for the gun range Jon Metzger is arranging for and will have waivers and discussion at the next meeting. The ordinance requires the mayor to approve usage of a gun range. For several meetings there has been discussion on residential homes that need to be considered for condemnation, and it was requested that a list is made to start the condemning process. The next meeting will be June 28 at 6:00 p.m.

ter has been working in proper order, the valves just need to be checked and in the correct places before tear down occurs.

North Dakota ‘Riel’ history They say truth is stranger than fiction, and if you read history books, you will see how remarkable that really is. Many of us have in our minds that what is now North Dakota began with statehood in 1889, but there were a lot of historical events that occurred and people who lived here prior to statehood and the establishment of the Dakota Territory in 1861. Some of the history of our state is obscure, some is well known, and some is tangled into other sources of history. • As an example, there’s a publication called “The Beaver,” which is published by Canada’s National History Society. As you might imagine, it has a lot to do with the fur trade and how settlers moved west and south. Back then, they followed rivers not highways, and that’s how Pierre La Verendrye ended up in what is now North Dakota. There’s evidence in “The Beaver” that La Verendrye visited numerous places in presentday North Dakota. One of them is Crow Flies High Butte west of New Town. He was there more than 65 years before Lewis and Clark passed through there. • There are documented accounts that Canada’s most notorious bandit, Louis Riel, spent time in the 1870s in what is now North Dakota, meeting with Indian leaders and mailing letters from the post office in St. John. It is also believed that when Riel was on the lam from the Northwest Mounted Police, he wound up working in the Gingras Trading Post in Walhalla. Apparently, he spent several years there hiding out from Canadian authorities after sparking a rebellion in Manitoba. • In 1910, Halley’s Comet made a return trip to the sky over the Northern Hemisphere. There are newspaper reports filed in the North Dakota State Historical Society that tell us residents were afraid the comet was going to crash into the Earth and some sort of poisonous gas would envelope the state. Unnecessary precautions were taken because of it. • In 1915, the Non-Partisan League political movement sprang up because farmers were getting a raw deal on their commodities. It
led to the establishment the stateowned Bank of North Dakota and Mill & Elevator. The two state-owned businesses, which many consider socialism, still exist in a predominately Republican state. • There was a ceremony in 1924 in Fort Yates where more than 20,000 American Indians gathered to become U.S. citizens. • President Franklin Roosevelt spoke on the dry bed of Devils Lake on Aug. 7, 1934. There is a large photo of it hanging on the wall in the White House Cafe in Devils Lake. It’s a very strange site when you consider today, the water, in that exact spot near Fort Totten, is more than 60 feet deep. • In 1977, after playing to exhaustion in seven overtimes, Grand Forks Red River and Grand Forks Central were both awarded the state championship in high school hockey. It was such a strange high school sporting event that it was featured in Sports Illustrated magazine. • In 1953, Sitting Bull’s body was exhumed illegally near Fort Yates and taken to South Dakota where a shrine stands today near the community of Mobridge where he grew up. North Dakota wanted his body back, but the Rapid City Journal reported that locals around Mobridge used steel and concrete to entomb Sitting Bull’s remains. About the same time, there was strong interest to take Sitting Bull’s remains to Glendive, Mont., because he was born in that area. • In 1969, Zap was the only place in North Dakota history where the National Guard was called out to control a riot until June 2020 when the Guard was called in to stop the violence during a Fargo Marches for George Floyd demonstration. • Just this past election in November, David Aandahl won a seat in the North Dakota House of Representatives. The only problem with that is he was deceased. COVID had taken his life weeks earlier, and the secretary of state didn’t have enough time to change the ballot. So a deceased individual won an election which started a chain of events leading to the governor appointing someone to the seat when the rules indicated otherwise. A friend who lives in Maryland wrote on Facebook, “Leave it up to my old state to elect a dead guy.” These and other unusual, and even bizarre, stories can be found with just a little research. North Dakota has a rich history prior to statehood and since.
Trump’s claimed reinstatement: A Constitutional myth Former President Donald Trump has been telling people that he expects to be “reinstated” as president, in August. The premise behind this theory, embraced by his MAGA supporters, is that President Joe Biden’s election victory will be overturned following Republican “audits” of election results in Arizona and Georgia. This is no joke. Charles W. Cooke, senior writer for the conservative magazine, The National Review, has gone on record to attest to the accuracy of these reports. “Maggie Haberman,” the New York Times reporter who broke the story about Trump’s claims, “is right,” Cooke stated. “I can attest from speaking to an array of different sources, that Donald Trump does believe that he is going to be ‘reinstated’ as president, alongside former Senators Perdue and McSally,” he added. “This isn’t ‘fake news’ or the product of a garbled telegram. I can attest to it myself.” Cooke’s credentials as a leading writer for The National Review, the most influential conservative magazine in the nation and likely widely read in North Dakota, speak for themselves. And, when Cooke declares that Trump’s statements are not “fake news,” but the real thing, it is time to take notice, and ask: Is there a constitutional mechanism to reinstate a president, other than through an election victory? The answer, emphatically, is no. Indeed, there is no constitutional pretext, text or context to support former President Trump’s claim. In a word, his theory is without foundation in our constitutional architecture. Nevertheless, let’s consider the merits of Trump’s contention as a purely constitutional exercise, in accordance with centuries-old principles of legal and constitutional interpretation, deeply embedded in Anglo-American legal history. The starting point for analysis,
Cavalier County Republican
of course, is the text of the Constitution. Article II — the “executive article” — provides the means by which the president is elected. Section 1 states the details for the implementation of the Electoral College, the sole constitutional mechanism for electing a president. Article II of the Constitution declares the eligibility requirements — age, residency and citizenship — for someone seeking the White House. It is notable that it makes no mention whatever of a “reinstatement” mechanism for a former president. The 25th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified on February 10, 1967, improved Article II by filling in details for succession to the presidency. It takes account of the removal of the president from office, as in cases of impeachment, or because of his death, resignation or inability to discharge the duties of the office. But, again, there is in this provision no mention of any mechanism for the reinstatement of a former president. In sum, the text of the Constitution does not contemplate a theory of reinstatement. Lacking a textual basis, we might ask, consistent with rules of constitutional interpretation, whether there was any mention of a reinstatement theory in the debates in the Constitutional Convention. Was there among the framers any flirtation with such a contention, anything in the train of discussion, or even a scintilla of evidence to support Trump’s claim? The answer is no. Trump and his MAGA supporters will search the records of the Convention in vain for supportive evidence. We should add, for the sake of accuracy and thoroughness, that there is no mention of a reinstatement theory in the records of the state ratifying conventions, the Federalist and anti-Federalist papers, or other founding documents that might provide a sympathetic predicate for Trump’s theory. Another facet of Trump’s assertion is the equally important question of who — what official, department or branch of government — possesses the constitutional authority to implement the reinstatement? Who, in other words, is the implementer? Obviously, a former president cannot reinstate himself, for that would represent a coup d ‘etat. But it would also be a coup if any con-
ND Matters: College enrollments continue declining
By Lloyd Omdahl According to the National Student Clearinghouse, enrollment in higher education institutions continue to decline, dropping 5% this spring. The 5% represents 725,000 fewer students. According to the National Center of Educational Statistics, the average number of students for each faculty member is 16. There isn’t an institution in North Dakota with that low of a student: faculty ratio. If the figures have any credibility, the 725,000 student drop represents a large number of faculty salaries no longer flowing through local economies. Small College Salaries Faculty salaries are dispropor-
tionately more important in the small college cities than in the business communities of the two research university cities. North Dakota has been using a variety of strategies to maintain or increase the number of students. The major strategy has been encouraging out-of-state students to come to North Dakota. This has proved especially successful for the two top institutions, both of which have a majority of their students from out-of-state or out-of-country. While some legislators think this is extending charity at North Dakota taxpayer expense, keeping a full body of students accrues all sorts of benefits to the institutions and business communities ND Hits Skids. According to a report by Elissa
Nadworny of National Public Radio, the downward enrollment trend started in 2012 nationally, the same year North Dakota hit the skids. Up to this time, North Dakota has been able to finesse the decline without significant disruption of the flow of education in the institutions. But bad days are ahead. The number of faculty members needed to teach 10,000 fewer students will be cut. If the decline continues nationally, the job market will soon be filled with PhDs released from educational institutions. There isn’t anything about North Dakota’s institutions that suggest the state will be exempt from the national trend. Career Academy Impacts We need to consider one caveat.

The $70 million program for “career academies” created by the recent legislative session should draw new bodies into new post-high school institutions. That will fill a known gap in the state’s educational system and it will also attract present students from the universities who would rather be learning technical skills. With 11 institutions fighting for expansion or survival, every institution has tried to add disciplines to justify the present or larger faculties. In the upcoming belt-tightening, many of these majors will fail to attract enough students to justify high faculty salaries. With too many institutions running too many programs for too few students, we can be assured that institutional competition will mark the declining days. Online No Solution Every institution has a cheering
stitutionally unauthorized governmental official attempted to reinstate a former president. There’s the rub for Trump’s theory. The Constitution provides no such enumerated or implied power, let alone an inferable basis, for the assertion of a congressional or judicial reinstatement power. Even a wild hypothesis that purports to place in the judiciary authority to order reinstatement for a former president, on the premise of a fraudulent election, is blocked by a court’s inability to enforce its own decisions, as Alexander Hamilton observed in Federalist No. 78. In short, even the Supreme Court would lack authority to order the removal of President Joe Biden and the installation of Donald Trump. Similarly, Congress has no authority to restore Trump to the presidency. The Impeachment Clause vests in the Senate authority to remove from office a president who has been impeached by the House, but there is no constitutional contemplation of either a House or Senate reinstatement authority. The constitutional clauses and historical records afford Trump no support for his reinstatement argument. Nor is there support for his claim in the annals of Supreme Court rulings, across a vista of nearly 250 years. Trump’s contention lacks paternity. How did we get here? How have we arrived at a moment in our history, when such a constitutional myth could be conjured by a former president, and enthusiastically embraced by his supporters who, apparently, believe it is credible? The political motivations and calculations that lie behind Trump’s indefensible proposition remind us of the compelling need for an informed citizenry to protect the republic from corruptive myths that would, in Thomas Jefferson’s timeless phrase, convert the Constitution “into a thing of wax.” Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

section of alumni, fans and businessmen. In the war among the “North Dakota 11” the political pressure will be formidable when any allocation of resources is taking place at the state level. While some hope that online courses will take the pressure off of downsizing, they have limitations. Some courses can be taught effectively on line; others cannot. Real life experiences of campus life will be lost. Some faculty can teach online; some cannot. Some students want to get at least 75 miles out of town but they will “online” in their homes. I must be transparent. I acquired all of my high school education by correspondence which isn’t too different from being chained to a computer. My social development suffered. I never did catch up.

Letter to Editor Sports help promote Vision Zero As a Vision Zero Outreach Coordinator, I help promote and support North Dakota’s Vision Zero traffic safety initiative to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes on North Dakota roads. Vision Zero aims to establish a culture of personal responsibility where motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries are recognized as preventable and not tolerated. Vision Zero has found tremendous success in promoting a culture of personal responsibility through baseball games. We have partnered with the Bismarck Larks, the Souris Valley Sabre Dogs, the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, and West Fargo Baseball to put a strong emphasis on seat belt use and the dangers of drinking and driving, while encouraging fans to always wear their seat belt and to find a sober ride home through in-game commercials and signage. We’ve also expanded our traffic safety messages to racetracks across North Dakota through a sponsorship with 30A Goff Racing, Nodak Speedway in Minot, River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, Dacotah Speedway in Mandan, and Sheyenne Speedway in Lisbon. Our messages of driving free
from distraction and impairment, as well as buckling up may seem counterintuitive at a racetrack, however it is just the opposite. Race car drivers can drive fast at the track because they are in a controlled environment free from distraction, impairment and they are properly secured into the vehicle. If race car drivers can use traffic safety in a controlled environment, you can too in your daily life, minus the speed, of course! These summer partnerships give Vision Zero a year-round presence in North Dakota communities. Vision Zero also partners with colleges and universities and sponsors high school activities throughout the year. Look for these important traffic safety messages at events you attend this summer and keep them in mind not only when traveling to and from those events, but every day. You can help achieve the Vision Zero goal by taking personal responsibility when traveling. This means wearing a seat belt at all times, transporting children in the appropriate child passenger safety seats, driving distraction-free and sober (i.e. not under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs), and obeying all posted speed limits.

Altru Safe Kids recently held a child seat check in Langdon. They checked 13 car seats with a 92% misuse rate. The most common errors were lower anchors being used upside down, the top tether not being used, and harness straps in the incorrect location. Rear-facing car seats should have their harness straps at or below the shoulders and forward-facing seats should have their harness straps at or above the shoulders. Photos by Lori Peterson.
Dakota Gardener: Working in the garden with kids By Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks County Do you have fond memories of gardening? Or do you avoid anything to do with gardening because of unpleasant experiences, maybe related to garden chores? My gardening memories are good: weeding on hot summer days listening to my Walkman (yes, I am that old), picking green beans and harvesting sweet corn. The “rosy glow” around my memories explains, in part, why I work with plants and garden at home. So what are some ways to prevent unpleasant gardening memories with your kids or grandkids so they continue to garden as they grow? First, keep in mind that kids will take to gardening in different ways, depending on their age and personalities. For example, preschoolers like to explore things. Kids ages 5 to 8 like to create, have their own ideas and just do things no matter the
result. Don’t expect this age group to accomplish as much in terms of chores. These kids also might require close supervision to prevent any gardening disasters. Sometimes a garden fence isn’t just to keep the rabbits out! Nine- to 11-year-olds like to do things. Have them make and design plant markers or help build structures such as fences or trellises. They work best with smaller tasks given with short, simple directions. Give teenagers leadership roles in gardening. Have them research plants, plan the garden, and buy seeds and plants. Help them choose tasks in which they can succeed. Second, remember when working in the garden, time seems to pass at a different rate for kids. They get hot, thirsty and, frankly, bored more quickly than adults. Weeding is an unpopular task for any gardener, so don’t be surprised if kids don’t want to weed, either. Encourage kids to do their share of garden weeding. Try setting small, obtainable goals for weeding. Have them take care of one row or bed or a certain number of weeds. Turn it
into a contest; the person with the most weeds gets to water first. Speaking of water, kids love playing with water, but they can require a lot of guidance to get water in the right spot. Teach them how to water correctly: water the soil and not the leaves and how to check if plants need water. Sometimes a hose can be hard to manage for younger kids. Fill a large bucket with water and let them scoop water into a smaller container they can carry. For an example, a yogurt cup and a gallon milk jug with the top cut off. Finally, focus on having fun and not the work. Remember that involving kids in your gardening chores likely will not reduce your work. In fact, it might even increase the work. But watching them enjoy the fresh peas and tomatoes that they cared for is well worth your efforts. Happy gardening! For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent.

Prairie Fare: Handle flour safely when baking at home
Do you remember the shortages we experienced in 2020? Yes, toilet paper was in short supply in some areas. In some places, grocery shoppers noted limited supplies of meat and milk. Bakers were disappointed when yeast and flour were among the foods difficult to find in some stores. Fortunately, these essential ingredients are available in 2021, just in time for fun summer learning at home. Preparing food with kids has benefits that go beyond the foods that are made. Preparing food promotes reviewing school lessons and learning life skills in the process. Whether preparing food with a parent, grandparent, sibling or caregiver, children can glean a lot of information. Cooking and baking can combine science with artistic skills. We eat with our eyes before taking the first bite, so making food look good is part of the process of preparing and serving food. Children learn basic chemistry skills when baking soda is combined in a recipe with acidic ingredients. How about some math review? Kids learn about fractions when measuring accurately and multiplication if they are halving or doubling a recipe. Baking also requires problemsolving skills when the temperature and the humidity of the day necessitate some changes in your breadmaking lessons. Reading and following recipes strengthens reading and vocabulary skills. What does whisking, folding or kneading ingredients mean? Food preparation requires planning. After you choose a recipe, you need to check your ingredient supply and shop for the missing items in your pantry or refrigerator. Food preparation also requires patience, especially if yeast bread is involved. With siblings working together, negotiation and conflict resolution skills may be practiced. Children also learn about safety skills, from using knives to using an oven and appliances. Most people know that cooking requires close attention to food safety, but baking also has some fairly recent cautions. Be cautious where you get your
baking recipes. Some recipe creators and users may not be aware of some of the more recent rules about handling raw flour. For example, a quick search of popular recipe sites showed recipes targeting children at home. Several “doughs” were not baked and, therefore, are not considered safe. Remember that when grain is milled into flour, it is not heated. Flour technically is a “raw” food and it should be heated prior to eating. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), several outbreaks of foodborne illness linked to E. coli and salmonella bacteria sickened 168 people and led to 20 hospitalizations. The products involved included cookie dough and cake mix. These were eaten raw or were undercooked. If they are baked properly, they are safe. Keep these tips from the FDA in mind during summer food preparation involving flour: • Follow the package directions when using baking mixes. • Keep all raw foods such as flour and eggs separate from readyto-eat foods. • Refrigerate cookie and pastry dough according to package directions. Be sure your refrigerator is set at 40 F or below. • Clean up carefully after working with flour and eggs. Wash your hands with soap and water. Wash utensil, bowls, measuring utensils and other items that have come in contact with raw ingredients. • Do not allow children to eat or play with raw dough products. • Do not let children use homemade, uncooked dough for crafts or clay. • Do not use homemade cookie dough in ice cream or other desserts. Note: The “cookie dough ice cream” in stores and restaurants is safe because it has been treated to kill harmful bacteria. If the dough product package says the food is safe to consume without baking, you are OK. Remember that food package labels are regulated by the FDA. Here’s a favorite recipe we have used in our “Kids Baking School” program. This teaches measuring and coordination (when flipping a pancake). The batter contains raw flour and raw eggs, so be sure that the pancakes are cooked properly. By the way, the pancakes have been a big hit in our classes and they help you meet the whole-grain recommendation.
Light as a Feather Whole-wheat Pancakes 1 1/3 c. whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1 egg, large 1 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 1/3 c. buttermilk 1 Tbsp. oil Optional add-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips) Preheat griddle on mediumhigh heat. In a medium bowl, stir or sift dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, beat egg, buttermilk, brown sugar and oil together. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened; batter should be slightly lumpy. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto sprayed or seasoned hot griddle. Sprinkle with a few blueberries or chocolate chips. Flip the pancake when bubbles appear on the surface; turn only once. Makes 12 pancakes. Each pancake has 80 calories, 2 grams (g) fat, 13 g carbohydrate, 3 g protein, 2 g fiber and 190 milligrams sodium.

Obituaries Cindy (Lenz) Roberts A graveside service will be held Saturday, July 3, 2021, at 4:00 p.m. at St. Edward’s Cemetery in Nekoma with fellowship following at the Pain Reliever for Cindy (Lenz) Roberts, who passed away November 14, 2020, in Arlington, Texas. All friends and family are welcome to share in this celebration of life. Cindy (Lenz) Roberts was born January 28, 1956, in Devils Lake to Arthur and Susan (Nelson) Lenz, the youngest of seven children in rural Alsen. She spent her early years in Nekoma, graduating from Nekoma High School. She attended Lake Region Junior College while working as a nursing assistant at
Devils Lake Mercy Hospital. She married Bruce Roberts in July of 1975 relocating seven times due to her husband’s employment in the telecommunications industry. During this time while raising four beautiful children, she worked in the real estate industry, was a legal secretary to the city attorney in Two Harbors, Minn., and worked as an administrative assistant to an electrical company in Gloversville, NY. The family relocated to the Arlington, Texas area in 1994. For many years, she helped to manage a drycleaning business in the Arlington area. She passionately adored and doted on her four children and five grandchildren. They are the loves of her life. She will be remembered for her remarkable kindness, extraordinary love, and her strong Christian faith. She loved to sing, play guitar, and was a devoted Minnesota

75% of college-age students who grew up in a Christian home and professed to be believers in Christ that attend a secular college fall away from the faith after the first semester. You may be asking yourselves; “How is that possible? How can someone completely abandon their faith in such a short amount of time?” Well, the reason someone can be talked out of their faith is that they were never really talked into Christianity. Yes, they believed, but they had no evidence or reason to believe Christianity was true. Now I understand some people out there may be saying to themselves that we don’t need evidence or reason to believe - I believe because the Bible says so! I’m not diminishing that response at all, however, what if there was evidence that pointed to Christianity being true through avenues such as science, history, archeology, philosophy etc.? What I am talking about is a specific concentration in Christianity called “apologetics”. Apologetics is not going around and saying you’re sorry for being a Christian. Apologetics comes
from a Greek word in 1 Peter 3:15 “Apologia” which means giving a defense to why you believe. I first came to know that apologetics existed during my undergraduate studies at Kuyper College. I immediately thought of my nieces and nephews who would be going to high school and college in the future, and I didn’t want them to become another statistic of a Christian leaving the faith. I became instantly drawn towards this field because I never knew there were compelling arguments that skeptics and non-believers have a hard time answering. It is a great evangelism tool. I’m not discounting faith or the fact that we are saved through faith. There is only one way to salvation and that’s through faith alone by grace alone. However, it doesn’t hurt to have arguments that support our side to help people from leaving the faith and to help nonbelievers see that Christianity isn’t about having “blind faith”. I encourage everyone out there to look up some apologetics resources; it may help not only solidify your faith but deepen it as well.

Human Services launches enhanced crisis response services to help North Dakotans in times of need
Monday, June 21, 2021 – Page 7
Includes three-digit crisis line (211), mobile response and walk-in stabilization services The North Dakota Department of Human Services, through its eight regional human service centers, has launched a comprehensive behavioral health crisis response system to provide help and support 24-hours a day, seven days a week to North Dakotans who are experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge, or other emotional situation. The initiative also includes crisis response services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities through the Life Skills and Transition Center (LSTC) in Grafton. “Over the past two years, we have made great strides in strengthening the state’s behavioral health continuum of care by creating a standardized crisis response delivery system,” said department Executive Director Chris Jones. “One of our key priorities is to provide services closer to home and these services ensure people receive the right services, in the right location and at the right time.” The enhanced services include a three-digit crisis line (211) that anyone can call for help, including law enforcement and other first responders who are helping individuals in stressful situations. Some reasons to call could include substance use, depression, suicidal thoughts, trauma, relationship conflict, concerns for loved ones or other challenges. Clinically trained specialists provide confidential support and try to resolve the crisis over the phone. If it requires an in-person response, a team of behavioral health professionals will meet an individual
where he or she is to provide stabilization, resolution and other supportive services. The mobile response services are provided within a 45-mile radius of the state’s eight largest cities. The services can be provided in a person’s home, work location or other community setting. For individuals outside the 45-mile radius, the mobile response team connects by phone for support, assessment and crisis psychotherapy, and if the situation is unresolved, recommend treatment at the nearest critical access hospital. The human service centers are actively working to create memorandums of understanding with North Dakota critical access hospitals to provide these services through telehealth in rural communities outside the 45-mile radius. “The focus of these services is to help individuals facing a crisis get help quickly, to meet them where they are comfortable, and to provide support to avoid unnecessary law enforcement involvement, emergency room use or inpatient hospitalization,” said Rosalie Etherington, Ph.D., chief clinic director for the human service centers. In addition, the human service centers are repurposing existing residential units that provide long-term treatment services into 24-hour stabilization facilities that focus on short-term intervention and treatment services. Once fully operational, individuals will be able to walk into a facility, receive an assessment and get services that best meets their needs, which could include a referral to a treatment pro-

vider for appropriate services. Efforts are underway to fully develop the stabilization facilities and services in the coming months, as some regions are working to remodel existing buildings to accommodate the new treatment model. All human service centers also offer daytime walk-in assessments Monday through Friday during regular business hours to serve individuals with behavioral health emergencies. “This is a monumental shift in how we best serve people in crisis,” said Jeff Stenseth, field services operations officer. “While some regions have been offering these services for some time, we gradually enhanced them throughout the state over the past year. We are hearing from law enforcement and other first responders that the more robust services are making a difference in their communities.” Also included in the initiative is a specialized developmental disabilities crisis response team who supports individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. “Our team of crisis coordinators and applied behavior analysts work closely with the regional mobile response teams. When someone in crisis has a disability, we are called to provide stabilization, support and service coordination within 24-hours of the initial call to 211,” said Sue Foerster, LSTC superintendent. “We also provide support and training to developmental disability service providers and families throughout the state.” These enhanced services are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week, on weekends and holidays to all North Dakotans, not just individuals who receive services through the human service centers. A sliding fee schedule is available based on an individual’s ability to pay, and insurance is accepted if available. During the 2019 legislative session, North Dakota lawmakers authorized funding and additional full-time positions to enhance 24hour emergency and crisis services. The enhancements are a result of the 2018 Human Services Research Institute’s report that examined the state’s behavioral health system to prevent and respond to behavioral health challenges and promote the well-being of North Dakotans. In January 2020, the department contracted with FirstLink 211 for the phone support services. The department’s regional human service centers are located in Bismarck, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Minot and Williston with satellite clinics in Grafton, Rolla and Valley City.

Brush with the Bunch
Another project that was undertaken by members of the Brush Bunch and several community members is the “Garden Between the Walls!“ as it has become known. So many people deserve credit, and I am sure I will miss some. Melanie Thornberg had the vision of a garden between the walls of the Chamber/Gallery and the Super Market Foods, now the CB Groceries. I am trying to combine three articles that were written about the garden, one by Flo Holen, one by myself, and one by Virginia Dunnigan to whom this article is dedicated. So many people from the community have shared in the building and maintenance of the garden I don‘t want to miss anyone: Bill and Liann Zeller, Dave and Anne Hebert, R.M.D. Potato Sales, Walhalla Bean Co., several Brush Bunch members, and Lyle and Margie Johnson- who have been consistent with donations, encouragement, and love of community. The Hair Buffalo created by the children as an Art in the Park project in 2010 and assembled by Artist Adam Kemp was beyond repair, removed, and will be replaced by a Harry Holen sculpture in the near future. A copy of Marie Dalzell‘s famous cat, researched and re-produced by Susan Danielson, has been placed on the Chamber wall for all to see. Another article covered the American Flag which flies in the wind, a project by Mary Ellen Kirking. The poll was donated by Bill Lage and Bill Hines of Cavalier, and the flag was raised during a dedication ceremony and installed by Bill Zeller. The flag was donated by the American Legion Post #62. This is a sample of a community project by community-minded people. Much credit goes to Virginia and Robert Dunnigan for the loving care and maintenance that they donated and have taken care of for many years. Pictured is Virginia sitting at her desk planning the “Garden Between the Walls!“ and the “Flower Barrels“ which complement each other. Words cannot thank you enough. We meet every Tuesday from 10 until 4. Stop in for coffee and a visit. God Bless, and stay healthy. by Leo Beauchamp

Langdon Red Sox pound Park River 15-1 to get District American Legion win By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
After winning at Midway-Minto 19-1 on June 8 in their first game of the year, the Langdon Red Sox American Legion baseball team had their home opener against Park River on June 11. The Sox blew out the Pirates 15-1, to stay unbeaten on the season. Langdon hosted MidwayMinto on June 17, then will also have two home games in the week ahead, taking on Grafton on June 21, then entertain May-Port on June 23. Langdon jumped right on the Pirates in the early going, putting up four runs in both the first and second innings, including a home run by Simon Romfo, already his third of the season. The big inning was the fourth, when the Red Sox put up seven runs on doubles by Jack Romfo and Brady Regner, his second on the

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland
Back at it after an adventurous trip out west Well, here we all are, back in the saddle after a pretty crazy trip out west taking care of some things on my Dad's ranch, which by the way things are going I may doing until I'm 70. There are so many things to go through, I can't even tell you. Searching for things like titles for campers, vehicles and machinery has been a never ending paper chase and scavenger hunt, and something I wouldn't wish on anyone. The night I got to Williston on June 10, they got one the worst storms they've had in 20 years, with over six inches of rain falling in a very short time. There was flashing flooding all over town, and people were even kayaking in grocery store parking lots. But everyone made it through, and very thankfully we made somewhat miraculously without getting any damage. But again, we are back until the next western extravaganza on 4th of July weekend. So let's get you updated on a bunch of things. Romfo twins named to All-State High School Baseball team Let's start with more good news for Langdon graduates Grant and Simon Romfo. The squad released by the North Dakota High School Athletic Coaches Association, saw both Grant and Simon to the first team. Other area players included Tommy Nikoliason from North Star and AJ Votova from Grafton on the first team, and Riley Eide from the
Spoilers on the second team. As we told you last week, Simon was named Class B Senior Athlete of the Year, and Josh Krivarchka Coach of the Year. Congrats to all. Grant and Simon plus Alex Clutchie of Langdon-Edmore-Munich were among many area athletes who are playing in the North Dakota Shrine Bowl All-Star Football games at West Fargo High School on June 19. Olson plays well at Optimists All-Star Volleyball matches A big shout out to LangdonEdmore-Munich's Lexi Olson, who participated on the East team for the Optimists All-Star Volleyball matches, played June 14-15 in West Fargo and Bismarck. Lexi played middle hitter in both contests, and had seven kills in the first match and eight in the second, helping her East team sweep the West in all eight sets played. Olson will now go on to play college volleyball for the University of Jamestown, and we wish her well in the future. Langdon Red Sox have two home dates this week American Legion Baseball has been off and running the last couple of weeks, and in the week ahead you can see the Langdon Red Sox live and in person at American Legion Field. The Red Sox will host Grafton on June 21, then May-Port June 23, with both games at 5:30pm. Langdon has had a near historic start to there season, beating their first two opponents by a combined score of 34-2. So get out and see the team live in you can, as this is one of the best teams that Post 98 has ever had, and they are a lot of fun to watch. "See ya!" next week!

Remember: Look up; your life depends on power line safety By UNMC, Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health, Omaha, NE Anyone on the farm who works with tractors with front end loaders, portable grain augers, oversized wagons, fold-up cultivators, large combines, irrigation pipe and other tall equipment should take extra caution to avoid electrocution by accidently coming into contact with overhead power lines. Identifying overhead power line safety principles is one of the aims of Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (CS-CASH). This University of Nebraska Medical Center group (https://www. unmc.edu/publichealth/feedyard/) is conducting two research projects (funded by National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health) that are designed to make a positive impact on the sustainability of cattle feedyards through increased safety and health efforts. Electrocution occurs when a path to the ground is created for the electrical current. If a human body touches a power source or comes into contact with a ripple effect from a downed power line, electricity will attempt to travel through the body. The result can be serious injury or death. Each year, 62 farm workers are electrocuted and 3.6% of deaths among youth under the age of 20 are caused by electrocution. Among the types of electrocution accidents that have occurred include incidents such as workers lifting 30-foot aluminum irrigation pipes to a horizontal position under high-voltage lines and moving a portable grain
auger just far enough to come into contact with overhead power lines. All overhead power lines should be treated as though they are deadly. Farmers and farm workers should always check to see how close power lines are to their work area. Keep equipment and operators at least 10 feet from overhead power lines. Using a spotter to warn equipment operators of close proximity of a power line can help reduce electrocution potential. “Keep in mind that not all power lines are located overhead,” Yoder says. “Call 811 to locate any underground power lines before digging in an area.” When transporting equipment, determine ahead of time the clearance height for farm equipment. Ask your utility company for line heights. Never attempt to measure them yourself. Whenever possible, use pre-planned routes that avoid power lines during equipment transport. On farm equipment that features parts capable of vertical, lateral or swing motion, install a durable sign, legible from a distance of 12 feet that reads: “Unlawful to operate this equipment within 10 feet of high voltage lines.” If a power line falls across or near machinery while it’s being operated, DO NOT attempt to exit the equipment. Immediately call 911. If any bystanders are present, they must stay away from the equipment. If equipment hits a utility pole, the surrounding area may become energized. In this case, the safest place is inside the equipment cab or on the equipment. Even if you don’t
touch a downed power line, stray voltage could result in electrocution. “If you’re transporting equipment and come across a downed power line, stay in or on the equipment,” Yoder says. “The ground may be electrified. If you have a phone with you, call 911. If you don’t have a phone, stay with your equipment. The power company will come to the location to check on the power disruption.” Never attempt to pull equipment away from a power line or pole. Doing so will cause more damage to the line and increase the risk of electrocution. If fire breaks out after hitting a power line, it’s necessary to quickly and safely escape the vehicle/ equipment. To safely do so, don’t allow any part of your body to touch the equipment and the ground at the same time. “Never use ladders around power lines and keep in mind that some equipment may have a higher profile during transport,” Yoder says. “Train all workers on how to safely work around power lines, including those who are part-time or seasonal. Regularly review all the safety measures with all workers, and make sure everyone is aware of any electrocution risks related to the work being done. Electrocution is one of the most overlooked hazards of farm work.” Funding for this educational article comes from the Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department and State Historical Society of North Dakota reveal passport program The North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department and the State Historical Society of North Dakota are excited to announce the North Dakota Passport. The goal of the new program is to help residents and out-of-state travelers make the most of their visits to recreational and historical sites throughout the state. This program is similar to other programs at state and national levels that have been popular among travelers. The North Dakota Passport is an all-in-one guide to adventure as users collect stamps at 37 featured destinations, varying from state parks and recreation areas to state historic sites and museums. All 37 locations have a designated outdoor Passport Station where users can transfer the stamp with a crayon. Additionally, staffed locations have a stamp available in park offices, visitor centers, or museums. “Last year, the state parks saw a significant increase in visitation, and many first-time users found
enjoyment in outdoor recreation and realized the importance of the parks. We hope this program continues to inspire new users and helps long-time visitors experience the state parks and recreation areas in new ways,” said Andrea Travnicek, North Dakota Parks & Recreation Director. “With rising interest in outdoor recreation and road trips, it’s the perfect time to launch this adventure guidebook in support of tourism and economic growth in communities near the state parks and across the state.” The North Dakota Passport can be purchased at 13 state parks and 11 state historic sites and state museums. The Passport is also available for purchase online through both agencies’ websites. The 88page spiral-bound book has a durable, waterproof cover and comes with four crayons and a drawstring backpack, making it easy to keep in the family vehicle or carry along on the trail. In addition to space for stamps, the North Dakota Passport
includes fun facts and must see and do checklists for each location. “Our state historic sites and museums and their surrounding communities make great road trip destinations for families,” said State Historical Society Director Bill Peterson. “People might be surprised to discover all of the hidden gems and unusual history stories in our own backyards at our 59 historic sites, as well as the outdoor activities, walkability of the grounds, variety of trails, and views of stunning landscapes throughout the state. For more information and a complete list of participating locations, visit parkrec.nd.gov/passport. The mission of the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is to offer a diversity of recreation opportunities and sustainably manage resources. The mission of the State Historical Society of North Dakota is to identify, preserve, interpret, and promote the heritage of North Dakota and its people.
Prairie Doc® Perspectives: By Debra Johnston, M.D. I’ve been spending a lot of time talking with patients about the COVID-19 vaccine. Sometimes we celebrate being fully vaccinated. Some patients are skeptical about how serious COVID-19 infections actually were. And others are not convinced they can trust the vaccine. When I talk to the first group, we chat about our plans to reunite with people and activities we love. With the second group, I share stories of my firsthand experiences as a doctor during this crisis. We talk about interpreting death rates, how death certificates are filled out, or how health care is reimbursed. I particularly enjoy the conversations with the third group, many of whom share some of the same questions I had. I did not believe, at the beginning of the pandemic, we could possibly have a vaccine by the end of 2020. How could a vaccine for a brand-new disease be developed so quickly? There are two lessons beautifully illustrated by the lightning-fast development of the COVID-19 vaccines. The first is what can happen when money is no object. The typical process of drug development involves a relatively small investment for initial testing, investing a little more only if those results are encouraging, rinse and repeat. With the COVID-19 vaccines, all needed funding was available almost immediately. The second lesson is the importance of past research. Other coronaviruses caused outbreaks of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2003, and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) in 2012.
When money is no object
Researching these deadly infections taught us how coronaviruses invaded human cells, so we knew that the spike protein was a good target for a vaccine. Developing a vaccine for Ebola taught us how to safely edit the genes of a less harmful virus and use it to teach our immune systems to fight a more serious infection. Thirty years of mRNA research led to clinical trials of mRNA-based cancer therapies, and investigation of mRNA vaccines for influenza, rabies, and Zika. All this research and technology was used in COVID-19 vaccine development. Chinese scientists published the genetic code for the virus in January 2020. Within days, using all that previous knowledge, researchers began production of vaccines. When the clinical trials began, the pandemic was raging, and many trial participants were exposed to COVID-19 over a short period of time. Trials could proceed faster than usual because when lots of people are getting sick, it doesn’t take as much time to determine if a therapy, including a vaccine, is effective. Were the COVID-19 vaccines developed in record time? Yes. Because money was no object, and because 30 years of scientific research and development left us poised to succeed.

How do scammers know so much about you? Do you ever wonder how scammers know so much about you? There are several ways. Do you frequently enter contests? Not only do marketers collect information like name, age and address, they may learn other things about you as well. Do you mail in warranty cards? Many warranty cards request personal information like how much money you make. It is likely that your information is being sold to others, either legitimately or as part of a scam. Do you fill out surveys? Did you recently fill out a questionnaire rating your stay at a hotel or the service at a restaurant? Selling survey data is big business, and marketing firms and even criminals can learn a lot about you based on travel preferences, what type of home you own, or what car you drive. Do you share personal updates on social media? Scammers turn to social media postings to learn more about those they target. Be cautious. Don’t post personal information, narrow who can see your posts, and avoid posting real-time updates
about your whereabouts. Don’t just toss your mail in the garbage. Shred mail that has your name and address, account numbers, or other personal data. If you don’t have a home shredder, save your papers for a neighborhood shredding event. Obituaries are prime hunting ground for scammers, who learn the names of vulnerable widows, widowers, children or grandchildren. Keep personal information in obituaries to a minimum. Finally, many public records are available at the federal, state, county and city levels, including census data, property information, criminal records, bankruptcies, and tax liens. Private companies can pull together all this information on you and sell it to anyone. And it’s 100 percent legal. If you think you have fallen victim to any type of scam, call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 877-908-3360 for guidance and support, or visit the AARP Fraud Watch Network at www. aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork.

Drought creating forage shortage The majority of livestock producers in North Dakota are faced with forage shortages due to drought. Currently 99% of the state is experiencing some level of drought, with 18% and 49% categorized as being in exceptional (D4) and extreme (D3) drought, respectively. “Unfortunately, the window for forage production is closing,” says Miranda Meehan, North Dakota State University Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. “In North Dakota, our grasslands are dominated by cool-season grasses. As a result, about 80% of forage growth occurs due to precipitation occurring between April 1 and June 30.” Ranchers who have tame grass pastures or hay land should expect at least a 50% reduction in forage production. In the D4 areas, tame grass production will be 25% at best. However, some producers may not have adequate production to justify haying. Once these grasses produce a seed head, the plant has limited potential to produce additional biomass. If the plants were grazed in the vegetative stage, the potential exists for regrowth if moisture occurred. “Recent rains will benefit native rangeland because these species are in the vegetative stage,” says Kevin Sedivec, Extension rangeland management specialist. “Producers in much of the state should expect 50% to 60% of normal production on native pastures. In the D4 areas of the state, forage production on pasture will be 25% to 30% of normal at best.” This reduction in forage production will shorten the grazing season, bringing it to a close sometime this summer instead of in the fall unless destocking of livestock occurs. To account for the deficit in forage production, producers will need to adjust their management plan to provide supplemental forage and/ or reduce the forage requirements
Agriculture
of their herd. Annual forages can be a source of additional livestock feed if adequate moisture is available to support growth. “At this point in the growing season, the best options for hay are warm-season grasses,” Sedivec says. “We recommend Siberian foxtail millet if available. If Siberian it is not available, use German foxtail millet. The next best option is sudangrass; however, sudangrass has an increased potential for prussic acid toxicity when drought stressed. “If the intent is to establish an annual forage for grazing, we recommend planting a diverse cover crop mix that includes both cool-season and warm-season species,” he adds. “This will increase the chance of establishment and reduce the overall risk of a total failed crop. A diverse cover crop also will have the potential to produce a higher-quality forage with less risk of toxicity.” The drought also has been stressful on crops, resulting in thin stands with potentially low yields. If crops are unharvestable, producers may have the opportunity to use them as hay or for grazing. However, producers need to be careful because drought-stressed crops can be toxic. The most common toxicity is nitrates, which are common in small grains and corn. Failed crops should be tested for nitrates before feeding to livestock. For more information on nitrate toxicity, refer to NDSU Extension publication “Nitrate Poisoning of Livestock” (https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/publications/ livestock/nitrate-poisoning-of-livestock). “Given the severity of this drought, producers will likely need to combine these strategies while reducing stocking rates through culling and/or early weaning,” Meehan says. “Visit with your county Extension agent to develop strategies to reduce livestock forage demand.”
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Prepare for Food Preservation I recently read a book about some settlers in North Dakota. The book was fictional and depicted the trials and tribulations of settling. There were a lot of good themes (whether intentional or not) about relationships, helping each other out, and the dedication it takes to maintain a livelihood that you either have chosen or is chosen for you. One thing that stood out to me was the amount of time and effort it took just to keep the pantry and root cellar adequately stocked for the whole year. Though the techniques used in the book are not recommended anymore and would be considered unsafe for today’s consumption, it was fun to read about how they used to do things in order to survive the cold winter months and into the spring until the crops and garden produce became ripe once again. I find myself being more conscious of the food preservation these days, as more people have been trying their hand at growing their own produce and preserving that produce. Along with workforce and manufacturing changes because of the pandemic, there has been a shortage of supplies such as canning lids. People have also resorted to unsafe methods of food preservation because they have seen people post online ways they have done it or that “grandma always used to do it that way”. Because of scientific advances, the changing of microorganisms, and our knowledge of both, we need to be diligent about using only scientifically research-based methods to preserve the foods we eat. It’s important for our health and safety.

NDSU Extension Notes
Make sure to use the appropriate method for canning. Pressure can low acid foods. Pressure cookers are NOT the same as pressure canners. Also, make sure to get your pressure gauge checked for accuracy. (We can do that at our NDSU Extension office here is Cavalier County. Call 256-2560 to set up an appointment.) Use only research-based canning recipes to ensure safety. You can find them at our NDSU Extension website (www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation) or at the National Center for Home Food Preservation (https://nchfp.uga.edu) Hot water bath canning is acceptable for high acid foods but be sure to use the appropriate equipment and follow research-based recipes. If you don’t have the knowledge of how to can safely or if you do have the knowledge and just can’t find canning jar lids to purchase, try your hand at freezing and drying your foods this year. Freezing and drying foods are great ways to preserve food without needing the same equipment and expertise that canning takes. NDSU Extension has been working hard on getting resources to people who need it for all canning, freezing, and drying needs. We now have cards explaining how to freeze and dry all of the most common items grown in our area including foods like onions, beets, brussel sprouts, squash, apples, strawberries, and much more. We also have an abundance of resources on our webpage (https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/food/food-preservation) for you to find specific information to match your needs. Freezing strawberries: Choose firm, ripe, red berries preferably with a slightly tart flavor. Large berries are better sliced or crushed. Sort berries, wash them in cold water, drain well, and remove hulls. If freezing them unsweetened, leave strawberries whole for freezing.
For better color, cover with water containing ascorbic acid. If freezing them sweetened, add ¾ cup sugar to 1 quart of berries and mix thoroughly. Strawberries can be whole, sliced, or crushed. Pack into containers, leaving head space. Seal and freeze. Here is a recipe to help you use those frozen strawberries: Healthier Ice Cream Sandwiches This healthy recipe comes from NDSU Extension Service. Ingredients 1 banana, frozen 1 c. frozen strawberries 4 graham cracker sheets, broken into 8 squares ¼ c. mini dark chocolate chips ¼ c. pecan pieces (optional) Directions Thaw banana and strawberries for 10 minutes. In a blender or food processor, blend fruit until smooth but still firm. Place in freezer for 10 to 20 minutes if the mixture is not firm. Spread mixture onto for graham cracker pieces. Top with dark chocolate chips or pecan pieces. Place another graham cracker piece on top to create a sandwich. Serve immediately or wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap. Place wrapped sandwiches in a resealable freezer bag and freeze. Makes four servings. Each serving (without pecans) has 160 calories, 5 g fat, 2 g protein, 27 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber and 69 mg sodium If you would like more information about freezing or drying foods, please visit our website at www. ag.ndsu.edu/food/food-preservation, call our office at 256-2560, stop in and visit with us, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. Whether food is made from dried, frozen, or canned produce, if you grew it yourself, it will be delicious!
Producers have options for managing drought-affected alfalfa Despite recent moisture in some areas, widespread drought conditions persist across North Dakota. Reductions in forage production are expected to impact not only range and pasture, but these reductions also will reduce the potential of a hay crop by at least 50% in terms of biomass production this year. “One of the most economically important hay crops that is impacted by drought is alfalfa,” says Janna Block, Extension livestock systems specialist at North Dakota State University’s Hettinger Research Extension Center. “Many North Dakota producers are evaluating their alfalfa stands and determining options for the best way to utilize available forage.” Drought has different impacts on alfalfa than it does on grasses. With alfalfa, the leaf area is reduced, although not as much as stem growth. This means that the leaf-to-stem ratio can be higher in drought-affected alfalfa. As a result, alfalfa from drought-stressed fields may have improved forage quality in some cases, even though yield will be reduced. Here are a few things producers need to consider when deciding whether to hay an alfalfa stand: Plant height - If an alfalfa stand is more than 12 to 14 inches tall and flowering, haying it probably is advantageous. Phenology - Alfalfa typically is harvested at the late bud or first flower stage. However, allowing alfalfa to reach at least 10% bloom before harvesting may be beneficial to enable plants to better handle drought stress. Because stem growth is more restricted than leaf growth during drought, some data indicate that delaying harvest will not result in the same quality reduction that it would during normal years. Percent of alfalfa in the stand Mixed stands with less than 25% alfalfa may not have adequate biomass to hay due to drought impacts
on cool-season tame grasses. The presence of alfalfa weevils - If the weevils are present, alfalfa may need to be cut even if is shorter than 12 inches as a method of weevil control. Insecticide application is possible, but if the plant already is drought-stressed, it won’t grow any taller. “Grazing may be a good option for stands that do not meet the criteria for haying,” says Marisol Berti, professor of forage and biomass crop production in NDSU’s Plant Sciences Department. “Grazing fields that aren’t suitable for haying will help keep the plants in a vegetative state and increase the potential for regrowth. This may enable producers to harvest later in the season if they receive adequate moisture. Grazing alfalfa may help rejuvenate old stands by reducing grass and weed competition.” Prior to grazing livestock, producers need to estimate the production of the alfalfa stand and set the appropriate stocking rate. A general rule of thumb is that 1 ton of standing alfalfa will produce about 50 animal-unit days (AUD) of grazing, assuming a 1,000-pound animal. “The most accurate method to calculate forage production is the clip-and-weigh method,” says Miranda Meehan, Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. “This method requires the actual harvesting of standing forage at a given time to predict available forage.” See NDSU Extension publication “NDSU Range and Forage Production Sample Kits” (https://tinyurl. com/237mbw4v) for detailed instructions on calculating forage production. “Once forage production has been determined, then an adjustment must be made for harvest efficiency,” Meehan says. “Harvest efficiency is the amount of the plant that livestock will impact during the time they are grazing the pasture. Harvest efficiency is expressed as a percent and should be multiplied
by the total amount of forage. The recommended harvest efficiency in this scenario would be 35%.” If possible, using rotational grazing will increase the harvest efficiency and reduce the potential for negative impacts to the stand. Regardless of grazing method, a minimum stubble height of 4 to 6 inches should be maintained. “Although producers can graze pure alfalfa stands, a mixture of alfalfa and grass will help reduce the risk of bloat,” Block says. “For pastures that have a high percentage of alfalfa (30% to 50% or more), it is best to wait to graze until alfalfa reaches the bud stage. The risk of bloat will decrease immensely as the stand reaches the 30% to 40% bloom stage; however, so will forage quality.” Producers never should turn hungry livestock into alfalfa pastures. Provide a full feed of dry hay or grass pasture before grazing alfalfa. Experts also advise producers not to turn cattle out on alfalfa while rain is falling or if a heavy dew is present. Also, producers must observe animals closely the first several days of grazing to make sure they have no issues. Dietary supplements such as poloxalene bloat-prevention blocks or ionophores also will help reduce the risk of bloat. Poloxalene should be provided several days prior to grazing alfalfa, and it should be available throughout the grazing period. Ionophores can be provided in mineral supplements or other commercial feeds. Another strategy producers can consider is giving livestock freechoice access to grass hay while grazing alfalfa. “Grazing may be a good option for managing drought-stressed alfalfa stands so producers are able to maximize forage production potential,” Block says. “It is important that grazing animals are managed properly to maintain the long-term health of the stand and reduce bloat risk to livestock.”

Check us out online at www.cavaliercountyextra.com Cavalier County Commission Proceedings June 1, 2021 On June 1, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. Austin Lafrenz attended the meeting via Webex. Webex was utilized for those wanting to attend the meeting virtually. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Vice Chairman Greg Goodman called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Goodman asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Nick Moser; motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. There was discussion on whether or not to continue using Webex for commission meetings. It was decided to continue the Webex subscription and use it “as needed” in the future. Greg Goodman stated that the idea of a county engineer combined with road supervisor was an unlikely combination of positions after consulting with HR. Goodman and Moser will be meeting with Terry Johnston to explore the idea of one person supervising the roadmen. Nick Moser made a motion to approve Beer & Liquor License for Frost Fire, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to add a letter of support for Frost Fire to the agenda at 3:30 p.m., seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to nominate Nick Moser for the NDACo Resolutions Committee, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to appoint Diane Schill to the Cavalier County Library board, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and stated that Ramsey County had sent an estimate in the amount of $32,000 for the replacing the bridge with culverts on the county line in Section 31 of Seivert Township. Based on a contract signed in the past with Ramsey County for cost share, Nick Moser made a motion to pay 50% of the cost, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Greg Goodman discussed the possibility of using local engineers for future road projects. Goodman asked all com-
missioners to review Razor Tracking for the number of hours being put on the motor graders and asked that it be put on the agenda for the next meeting. There was discussion on the culvert request that was approved for Minto Township at the last commission meeting. Johnston informed the commissioners that Minto Township did not have the full 10 mill excess levy required, so the county would not be cost sharing the culverts. At 2:03 p.m. Nick Moser made a motion to recess the regular commission meeting for County Equalization, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. At 3:15 p.m. Nick Moser made a motion to end County Equalization and reconvene the regular commission meeting, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Greg Goodman stated the salary committee met, and with no salary increases given in January 2021, proposed up to a $225/month salary increase starting July 1, 2021 for full-time benefited employees. The proposal would eliminate the prior proposal of a $100/month cost of living increase to be budgeted June 1, 2021 for starting January 1, 2022. Department heads would give up to $225/ month increase to employees, based on employee evaluations. Department heads were given the opportunity to shift a portion of their increase to an employee, but that would be the only way an employee could receive more than $225/ month. Commissioners, Social Services, Weed, and Part-time seasonal employees were not included in the proposal.

All Commissioners were present. Austin Lafrenz attended via Webex. Vice Chairman Greg Goodman presided and proceeded as follows: Stephanie Bata, Tax Director, reviewed all changes to cities alphabetically, followed by townships. After Bata reviewed all proposed changes to city values, Nick Moser made a motion for approval of all changes as presented, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. It was noted that taxpayers have the right to appeal values applied by the county at State Equalization on August 10, 2021. Bata noted that small changes by the assessor to acreage in Billings and Fremont Townships were not made if there was not documentation for the changes. Tom Valentine, assessor for those townships, was in attendance via Webex
and was asked if he had anything to add. Valentine did not respond. Nick Kartes was in attendance regarding Parcel #27044000 in Mt. Carmel Township. Kartes stated the value was too high with the number of tillable acres in his parcel compared to parcels around his. Nick Moser asked Steph Bata if she had reviewed the parcels around his, and she stated she had. The parcel was compared to Parcel #27240000 and #27245000. It was explained to Kartes that all parcels are valued according to soil type and land use classification, and that the soils in his parcel have been valued correctly and consistently to the parcels around his. No changes were made to Kartes’ parcel. Ed Stremick was in attendance for Parcel #11082000 in Fremont Township, so the commissioners went back to Fremont Township to address his concerns. Stremick stated his parcel is consistently wet to the point of not being able to produce a crop, forcing him to enroll in CRP. Stremick was informed that soil type and land use classifications determine the value on his parcel. Stremick was referred to the Weed Officer to see if he would qualify for the Landowner Assistance Program to help with the cost of spraying his CRP. No changes were made to Stremick’s parcel. After Bata reviewed all changes to township values, Nick Moser made a motion for approval of all changes as presented, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Bata reviewed the compliance rate on all property classifications and stated that commercial properties may need to be increased in 2022 to stay in compliance. At 3:15 p.m. Nick Moser made a motion to close the County Equalization meeting and reconvene the regular commission meeting, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

Now the Pictures Last week’s column told you the names and some of the adventures of one of the larger classes to graduate from LHS. The story was way too long and what readers really wanted to see were the pictures mentioned in the previous column. There was not room. This week, in place of a story, you will get the pictures with some identifying comments.
The first of two years of joint reunions for the 1951 classes was 2000 with an all-school reunion in progress. No way could all of the many alumni involved find adequate places to meet so LHS 1951, 1952 and 1953 joined with St. Alphonsus 1951 through 1954 for a special event. After being turned down at several locations, we got permis-
Cavalier County Republican
sion to use the Activity Center for a catered meal and short program. Each of the seven classes took their own pictures, and the ones this week are primarily from LHS 1951 photographers. The exception is the first one which includes Lois Schwartz and Frank Jennings from the class of 1953. At the time I gave Beanie Babies as prizes to students and guests at the reunion and brought extras for decorations and later gift giving. Another reunion tradition that night featured 30 roses on the tables marked with the names of a deceased classmates from both schools.
The next picture is our class at the 2000 event with some classmates we had not seen for 49 years. We do not have a full list of the names attending. The LHS Foundation had a project begun giving fifty-year graduates certificates. When our turn came, Mr. Osmon presented them at graduation time in the high school library. That group included Sam Scott, Allan Dubois, Dayton Burkholder, Edna Marchell Bata, Mari-
Langdon Long Ago
lyn Walker Scott, and Rita Maisel. At the actual fifty-year reunion Charlie Jordan presented certificates to classmates who had come for the 2001 reunion dinner at the Stables. Two pictures of travelers who flew from Seattle to Winnipeg, had to be retrieved from the airport, and were very happy to reach Maida and North Dakota soil again: R o s e m a r y, Charlotte and Dixie. Also, groups awaiting their arrival at the Langdon Motor Inn. Dayton had been the only member of our
class in a prize-winning quartet, and as their tribute to the past, he wanted them to sing at more than one reunion, the Museum at Dresden, and anywhere people would listen. The first year their original pianist, Charlotte Buchweitz Stander, did not come but was prevailed upon to attend the second year. Various instruments were tried before she arrived and deemed “not
good enough for Charlotte”. A new keyboard was obtained. The quartet was originally composed of Gary Cummings (tall at first and later broad) who could not come in 2001, so Curt Kram was drafted to take his place. It was maybe not a high point in Curt’s musical career. Next, in order on their picture, is Dayton who did most of the talking then Gene Tang from Michigan and Murray Olson from Illinois. While planning these reunions we had help from St. Alphonsus alumni at every stage including the special cake used as dessert at the joint dinner at the Stables in 2001. This special cake which had some white and some chocolate portions under a frosting
depicting both the LHS Cardinal (the kinder one we remembered) and the St. Alphonsus Saint. It was served by two alumni – one from each school and not only available to the reunion members but also to friends who stopped by to greet the returning alumni.
A tradition for those who had attended Langdon Public School for all twelve years was a must, and the eight classmates still living at that time are pictured: back row – Larry (Bud) Funselth, Daryl Crockett, Jerry Beiers, Vic Moore; front: Charlotte Buckweitz Stander, Marilyn Walker Scott, Rosemary Franta Peterson, Rita Maisel. Today, Bud, Daryl, Marilyn and Rosemary are deceased.
We had a great time!
