North Dakota State University Parenting Education Network hosted the fifth and final webinar in their five part series Parenting in a Pandemic.

The webinars were led by Erin Walsh, co-founder of the Spark & Stitch Institute based out of Minneapolis, Minn. This session focused on understanding brain science so parents can help their teens cope with COVID. The typical route through adolescence is not smooth even without the pandemic. Although vaccines are here and school is out, coming out of COVID is not a switch we turn on or off. It is a transition.

The transformative teen years are probably one of the least well-suited ages for a pandemic.

Teens’ brains are built for big feelings, independence, purpose, peers, and learning. They are not made for nor well-equipped for isolation.

Your teen’s brain is still developing. Walsh related it to a construction zone, often unpredictable and bumpy. The more you understand why the bumps are happening, the more prepared you are to navigate them. The goal is to nurture resilience in your teen, an internal mindset that this may be hard but they can keep learning and keep go-

ing.

Think through the big and little things that go through your teen’s brain when they get up in the morning: what to wear, how many assignments, how to get to school, get organized for classes, remember homework, finals, time management, friends, etc. The very part of the brain (the prefrontal cortex) that is the “orchestra conduc-

Conversations can go from measured to explosive very quickly. For all teens, it can be just as confusing for them on the inside as it is to you seeing it from the outside. When you picture that the part of the

In addition, there are emotional accelerators – testosterone and serotonin - that kick in during this same time. In boys, testosterone increases by 1000% in the adolescent years with an average of 7 surges every single day. In girls, when estrogen and progesterone go up and down, serotonin also goes up and down. Moods can

brain that helps them manage these big feelings is under construction and the chemicals that amplify those big feelings are in overdrive, it makes total sense that COVID and beyond is a time of big emotional ups and downs. Understanding what is going on inside your teen minimizes the risk of losing your empathy. One of the major protective factors for kids in times of strain is being connected to warm and caring adults.

Communicate to your teens

Local Businesses Drive Tourism-support local While sometimes you may wish that your favorite local restaurant or shop remains a hidden gem in your town, tourism dollars can create significant benefits for the business owner and community. Thanks to the internet, out-of-towners can seamlessly research locally owned outlets with review sites and decide to stop by while they’re in the area. As word spreads about the available unique products, don’t be surprised to see people traveling into the neighborhood to check out the services. This is one of the best ways businesses can organically grow their loyal customer base.

You can also do your part to increase your local business’ reputations by sharing your experiences online and re co m m e n d ing the shops to family and friends.

When an area is flush with tourism spending, it becomes an enticing location for additional entrepreneurs to set up shop and give the community more character. Take a look at the positive benefits created when non-locals visit the area to get a taste of the neighbor-

Parenting in a Pandemic: Loosen but don’t let go

hood’s flair.

CREATES MORE JOBS As businesses welcome a surge of customers and attention into their shops, an increased need for employees is created. Many entry-level positions open the door for teenage employees seeking their first job without previous experience. According to the World Travel Tourism Council, around half of all employees in the hotel, catering, and hospitality sector are under 25 years of age.

Here are some other interesting statistics regarding the tourism industry from IBISWorld.

• In terms of employment,

the tourism sector ranks first in accommodation and food services, the third-largest overall in the United States.

• There are 5,459,152 people employed in the industry as of 2021.

Farmers & Merchants State Bank 816 3rd Street, Langdon, ND 58249

(701)256-5431 • www.fmbanklangdon.com

• The average tourism business in the U.S. employs 12.1 employees.

Between 2016 and 2021, the field increased at a rate of 0.4% each year.

TAXES STAY LOCAL In addition to gaining revenue from cash spent by outof-town visitors, tourist taxes also maintain the community’s funds. Many states and municipalities enact a lodging tax that property owners and managers must pay when renting a room or property. The costs are often levied to the person staying and retained by the state for distribution.

Local Events You’re never truly finished finding unique things about the town you live in.

To see a side of your local community that you may not have experienced, keep an eye out for local events like fairs, festivals, and craft shows. Participation will introduce you to new passions and hobbies and create incredible networking opportunities. Events offer a chance to bring the community together and celebrate what makes its residents unique.

An excellent way to discover cont. on page 3

that your relationship can handle their big feelings. Offer them empathy. Mirror back what is happening. “Sounds like you’re really upset/sad/angry.”

All feelings are ok. Try to name those feelings, both in yourself and your teen, and practice doing so. Do not leave your feelings up to their guesswork.

Model naming your feelings to your teen. What is the feeling, what is the size of the feeling, what is the next step? We tend to want to fix the feelings and solve the problem. Skipping over the feelings makes the problem bigger.

Walsh quoted Fred Rogers, “Anything that’s human is mentionable and anything mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know we are not alone.”

Studies done in 2020 showed that over 60 percent of young adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression, one in four young adults reported having seriously considered suicide in the last 30 days, and 7 out of 10 teens revealed they were struggling with mental health.

How do you know whether it’s mental illness or simply big cont. on page 2

Waterbury accepts call to Emmanuel Church

By Linda Timian Republican Writer Pastor Jonathon Waterbury has accepted a call to serve Emmanuel Evangelical in Langdon. He moved into the parsonage in late April and began his ministry here in May. Waterbury was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. He attained a Bachelor of Arts in Pre-Seminary Studies from Kuyper College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

He earned his Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics in 2017 from Biola University, a Christian university in La Mirada, California. He returned to Michigan to intern at The River Church in Davison, his home church. After about a year of searching, he accepted the call to Emmanuel.

Waterbury loves preach-

ing and teaching God’s word and the relational aspects of a new community.

“I like getting to know people from a different culture,” he said. “Where I grew up, it wasn’t agricultural.”

After being in Langdon for about a month, Waterbury likes many things about the community.

“I am enjoying the smallt o w n feel,” he said, “and I enjoy random people waving as I drive by.”

No stranger to cold, he said the wind and the wind chill will be the big difference bet ween here and where he grew up.

He is a big basketball fan and roots for the Boston Celtics and also enjoys watching movies, bowling, and reading.

Waterbury invites you to join him on Sunday or tune in to his daily devotional on Facebook.

Cavalier County Commissioners meetings held

By Jared Entzi Republican Writer The Cavalier County Commission met on Tuesday, May 18. In old business, Stanley Dick brought up health insurance rates being lower than expected and retirement plans the state failed to change. The DHS and DOJ at the Department of Health were combined. Nick Moser discussed the possibility of acquiring an engineer for the county rather than paying for an engineer on a per job basis.

Terry Johnston, road supervisor, started his report with a tree planting variance request.

A two culvert requests were approved. Johnston mentioned a sales agreement for the oil that they’ll be using to fill cracks this summer, about $17,475, which is a decrease in price from the last purchase back in 2019. In regard to blading, with the rain in favor with our upcoming forecast, Greg Goodman is hopeful we can get blades up and running again in full force soon. The commissioners were updated on the structural placement of County Road 45 and discussed the updated engineering contract for County Road 13.

Austin LaFrenz brought up the emergency fire declaration, the enforced burn ban, and tickets that have been issued to those burning without ap-

proval from the fire chief. Even with getting flak for signing the burn ban, LaFrenz is still in support of his decision which is ultimately for the safety of the public. A motion was made by Nick Moser to extend the burn ban for another 5 days that would go until May 24. A roll call vote was taken with Greg Goodman voting no, Stanley Dick no, Dave Zeis yes, and Austin LaFrenz yes.

Motion carried.

Commissioner Dick motioned to set up a new fund for the federal COVID money, seconded by Moser, and motion carried.

Moving into the emergency declaration for COVID, Greg Goodman would like to review it every meeting. There is confusion with the state lifting the order but we, as a county, have not. Greg Goodman motioned to end the emergency declaration effective June 1st, seconded by Moser, and motion carried.

The following meeting was held on Tuesday, June 1st at 1:00 p.m. In old business, Dick briefed the commissioners about an upcoming Northeast Nine meeting to be held on June 23rd. On the agenda for this meeting is a brief legislative update, the interim study, expiration of road and extension levees, and federal funds. Greg Goodman mentioned that Moser, Terry Johnston, and himself

would meet sometime in the week to talk about the possibilities of acquiring a road supervisor and engineer for the county.

First on the agenda was a motion made by Moser to approve the Frost Fire beer and liquor license, Zeis seconded, and the motion passed. Second on the agenda was the appointment of a Cavalier County Library board member. Zeis motioned to appoint Diane Schill. Diane Schill is now a board member of the Cavalier County Library.

Terry Johnston met with the commissioners; a request was made from Ramsey County to fund the replacement of culverts shared by both counties.

This was approved.

Greg Goodman met with the salary committee to discuss salary adjustments for the budget for next year. The original plan was a flat $100 increase. With the unexpected low increase of health insurance, the county will save slightly under $61,000.

Due to this, the committee is focusing on adjusting the flat increase to $225, which offsets with the money saved from health insurance increase being minimal. Commissioner Dick moved to approve the salary adjustment. A roll call vote was called- Dick voted yes, Zeis yes, Moser stood out of conflict of interest, LaFrenz yes, Goodman yes. Motion carried.

Doc® Perspectives: Grandpa was at peace

By Andrew Ellsworth, M.D. My last conversation with Grandpa was over the phone. He was sick and dying. I was 1,200 miles away in residency, learning how to be a family physician. I was not going to make it home in time to see him one last time.

We did not know exactly what was wrong. Sure, he could have had more tests and been admitted into the hospital, but that was not what he wanted. Thankfully, a family friend and physician had talked to my grandparents about their endof-life goals. This discussion helped Grandpa realize what was important to him, like his faith and being with Grandma, and what was not, like spending time in doctor’s offices and hospitals.

Even though I was a physician in training, I supported his choice. He was in a peaceful place, listening to music, talking with Grandma and other friends and family.

Most people want to die at home.

However, only 20 percent do. When it comes to dying, some advance planning may make a world of difference.

It does not require an official document or appointment with a lawyer to make plans for how you would like to spend your final days. It does not even necessitate a visit with your doctor, although all the above may help. The most important thing is talking to your loved ones about

your wishes and goals of care.

How do you know when to have this talk, how to bring up the topic, and what to say during the conversation? How and when do you say “enough is enough” when it comes to searching for a cure, a surgery, a treatment, or spending a few more nights in the hospital? Discussing these questions may not be easy, but it is more productive and less stressful to have the conversation now rather than during a crisis.

Start with scheduling an appointment with your doctor for the sole purpose of talking about your endof-life goals, expectations, and values. Then, together, adjust your care plan accordingly. Revisit these discussions periodically with your family and your healthcare providers.

It was tough not being there with Grandpa, but he was at peace, so I was at peace. This past year, many others have had to say goodbye remotely or did not even have the chance. This is a reminder for us all to have meaningful conversations, to tell our loved ones how much they mean to us, and to cherish the time we do have together.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Treasures among us In the late 1970s, there wasn’t a whole lot to do after high school in my hometown except work on the farm or go to Bismarck and work in retail and not make any money. Most of us struggled, at least initially, until we either got college degrees or got promoted in jobs we took right out of high school.

Several people chose to step way outside the box and look for opportunities in a place most of us were scared to pronounce, let alone live and work there. It was Los Angeles, and even back then, some 45 years ago, LA was a big city and had a lot going on. Still, it was the lure for some of the locals.

One guy who had a knack for fixing things and had high school interests in electronics, landed a job with the Los Angeles Police Department installing radio equipment in their squad cars. He did that for a number of years, spending a career with the LAPD. Sometimes he would come home and tell us how much he liked it- mild winters, palm trees, beach and decent paychecks. You have to remember, back then, I believe the term for Los Angeles was “laid back,” but it has certainly changed.

One young lady who didn’t want to go to college also went out to Los Angeles but took up a totally different profession. She was hired on by Fredericks of Hollywood and became a lingerie model. Back home, she was just another kid, working concessions during basketball games, slipping by in a lot of classes and was never happy. Something was missing. The opportunity she got and took advantage of completely changed her self-esteem. Not only that, she made a lot of money and lived at least a portion of her life as a glamorous model.

A third person went out to Los Angeles about the same time, and his path was completely different than the other two. He went to work for Tower Records. Do you remember Tower Records? It wasn’t really a thing here on the prairie, but it was a big deal on the west coast, and our friend got in on a ground floor opportunity. Unfortunately, he wasn’t

there very long. His parents became ill, so he came back to operate the farm, and when his parents died, he was compelled to continue their legacy.

The ironic thing about these three people is, although they may have known each other because everybody in a small town knows everybody, they were different ages and weren’t friends. Yet, at least three people from a small town in North Dakota ended up working in and succeeding in the second largest city in the United States. So much for country bumpkins, right?

We can sometimes think of where everybody from our hometown goes in their adult life and what would the old hometown be like had they been able to stay and find a decent living.

Some join the military, and although few make it a career, those who do set themselves up well for retirement. The branch of service doesn’t matter so much as the time in grade.

If someone chooses to make a career out of the military, there are many more promotions and pay raises than in the working world, and many people like that despite the fact that you might someday have to step onto a battlefield.

Sometimes, we can actually get a glimpse of that “what if” all those people never left home. In 2017, Kenmare had an all-school reunion. The community was overflowing with people doing a lot of different things during a long weekend. When we realized who and how many came back for the reunion, the amount of professional talent that weekend was staggering. That was a long weekend that working as a journalist was a lot of fun because of all the people I met.

There are countless others who have gone elsewhere to make a living and raise a family. Many have moved to Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin, as well as Iowa and Nebraska. What it really shows is that people who were raised in small towns almost always know how to land on their feet, make decisions, and succeed in the big city or in a large military unit.

For far too long, we educated our kids for export. As many as possible left for greener pastures. It became a major drain on North Dakota’s economy. Then, the oil boom came and brought lots of young people back. Now, we just need to bring more of that talent home to roost.

The beguiling 10th Amendment Throughout our nation’s history, the 10th Amendment to the Constitution has been misconstrued for the purpose of advancing state sovereignty at the expense of the Supremacy Clause. Some have invoked it as a second Supremacy Clause. The language of the amendment is tantalizing for advocates of state powers broader than those actually vested in state government, but the text requires a close reading.

The 10th Amendment provides: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

On occasion, pundits and politicians try to smuggle into the text the word, “expressly,” so as to make the clause read: “The powers not expressly delegated,” which would limit the authority of the federal government to the exercise of those powers expressly enumerated in the Constitution. But the fanciful wish for the incorporation of the word “expressly” does not change the actual language of the 10th Amendment. What explains these exercises in confusion and distortion?

History affords some explanation.

The Articles of Confederation had provided greater protection to the states, which retained all powers except those “expressly delegated” to the national government. However, when James Madison introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives what would become the 10th Amendment on June 9, 1789, he avoided the incorporation of that phrase, which would have confined the national government to those powers expressly stated.

Rep. Thomas Tudor Tucker of

By Lloyd Omdahl When the Articles of Confederation proved inadequate for dealing with the critical problems left after the 1783 armistice with England, the leading colonists advocated a national meeting of colonial delegates to amend the Articles.

After several years of jerks and starts, the 1787 convention came to order and 55 delegates worked through the steamy Philadelphia summer to negotiate solutions for the weaknesses of the Confederation.

Horse-and-Buggy Government The creation of federalism by granting specific powers to the federal government and reserving all other powers to the states worked quite well for the first decades when horse-and-buggy was the means of transportation and most business was local.

As time passed, the Supreme Court was asked to take a second look at the traditional interpretations of the commerce clause, the general welfare clause, equal protection clause,

Letters to the Editor Policy

The Cavalier County

Republican encourages letters to the editor and intends to print the opinions of The Cavalier County Republican readers in full with as few restrictions as possible. The restrictions are: 1. All letters must be signed and the name of the writer will be printed with all letters published. Letters must contain a phone number for verification purposes.

South Carolina proposed the revival of the word “expressly,” but Madison and his supporters defeated the proposal to reinstate that fragment from the Articles of Confederation.

On August 18, Madison stated: “It was impossible to confine a Government to the exercise of express powers; there must necessarily be admitted powers by implication, unless the Constitution descended to recount every minutia.” The functions and responsibilities of the federal government simply could not be delineated with such precision. On the strength of Madison’s leadership, Congress eliminated the word “expressly.”

Given the fact that the 10th Amendment does not limit the powers of the national government to those expressly granted what, then, is its function in our Constitutional system? Supreme Court decisions across two centuries reveal shifting doctrines that have shaped and reshaped federal-state relations.

Until the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835, the court had exalted national authority at the expense of state authority. The court’s expansive interpretation of federal power under the Supremacy Clause, Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause left states in a clearly secondary position. But after Marshall’s death, the court elevated the status of the 10th Amendment, not to the point where it replaced the Supremacy Clause as the cornerstone of the Constitution, but in its rulings that gave greater effect to the reserve powers of the state.

As a consequence, the court delivered decisions that withdrew various subjects from the orbit of the national government and identified them as within the province of state authority.

For example, in 1918, in Hammer v.

Dagenhart, the court prohibited Congress from enacting a law prohibiting the transportation in inter-state commerce of goods produced by child labor, on the theory that the state police power governed local manufacturing.

But the pendulum began to swing back toward the Marshall court’s view and held that powers reserved to states could not be invoked to curtail federal authority. In 1941, in U.S.

v. Darby, the court declared: “The amendment states but a truism that all is retained which has not been surrendered. There is nothing in its adoption to suggest that it was more than declaratory of the relationship between the national and state governments as it had been established by the Constitution before the Amendment.”

The framers of the 10th Amendment, in other words, had added the provision as an extra precaution to allay concerns that the national government might seek to exercise powers that it had not been granted. As a result, the amendment could not serve as a measuring stick for the exercise of national power. Thus, as Madison said of the provision: “Interference with the power of the States was no constitutional criterion of the power of Congress. If the power was not given, Congress could not exercise it; if given, they might exercise it, although it should interfere with the laws, or even the Constitutions of the States.”

Although the 10th Amendment has been viewed by the court as declaratory of the relationship between the federal and state governments, it has been invoked to defend particular state powers. In 1991, in Gregory v. Ashcroft, the court held that Missouri’s Constitution — providing a mandatory retirement age of 70 for most state judges — did not violate the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 since the authority of states to determine the qualifications of their officials lies at the heart of representative government.

Whatever content the court may attribute to the 10th Amendment, it will always be read within the sweep of the Supremacy Clause.

among others. So the definition of federalism has been expanded to deal with new unforeseen problems arising out of nationalization of the country.

America Is Nationalized However, the American economy, society and culture have become so national that the fragmentation of a 1787 federal system no longer serves the people adequately. The structure of the government ought to facilitate, rather than delay or obstruct the prosperity and happiness of the people.

At the present time, groups have come into existence with the goal of changing the Constitution. A number of states have signed on to the proposal to have two-thirds of the state legislatures call a constitutional convention. Other folks want to junk the Electoral College for direct election of the president.

Convention Suggestions Then there are others that want to reverse the Supreme Court decision declaring corporations people for purposes of contributing to campaigns. Another group wants a convention limited to adding an amendment requiring a balanced budget at the federal level.

Support and opposition to all of these convention proposals has been bipartisan with the John Birch Society and the Eagle Forum against and the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council in favor. States have been so divided on the proposals that they have been withdrawing their consent as fast as new supporters have appeared.

Most of the dialogue about forcing a call of various conventions is not relevant to the greater question of redesigning the national government to manifest the national complexion of our economy and society. National issues have become more important

than state issues.

Federalism Failed The failure of federalism is well documented by our recent experience with the muddled management of COVID-19 at all levels of government.

President Donald Trump put federalism to the test when he delegated the COVID-19 pandemic to the states.

States became enemies as they tried to outbid each other for medical supplies needed to fight COVID-19.

Then the federal government got into the act and was competing with the states.

Responses to the pandemic varied radically from one state to the next.

Some states closed their doors to outof-staters. Masking rules were inconsistence, with governors fighting local governments.

Good Road Show It would have made a great road show but the cast was too big.

It would be funny except some experts estimate that federalism and its implementers caused 300,000 of the COVID deaths.

A federal system spawns a lot of piecemeal policy. Because federalism requires the mobilization of a high level public support, processes are slow and cumbersome.

But just as in the days of the Articles of Confederation we are now faced with problems that are not being solved in a federal system.

It will take a national government to develop universal health care, to cope with earth warming, to respond effectively to natural disaster, to finance the infrastructure, to secure equal rights for all, and to cope with unforeseen crises.

All of these will require a greater sense of community.

Cheers to School Year 100!

“It’s been quite the year!” I said at the end of this school year and at the end of last school year but for very different reasons.

Last year’s reaction was to the chaos, uncertainty, and flexibility of remote learning. I recognize that there are still parts of our country and our neighbors to the north who are dealing with remote learning and lockdowns. I think of them because I know what it’s like to figure things out as you go. Looking back, I am still proud of the work that we did.

Our teachers and staff pulled together during a difficult time and made things work, always keeping our students as our focus and priority.

This year, we also had quite the year! We were able to process and grow from our spring and summer and celebrate our 100th year of school in the best way – together. We

A Saint’s Shout Out

know how blessed we are to be able to start and finish our school year in person. I thought of that every day when I was able to see our students set foot on our campus with backpacks bouncing around and their feet running in our direction.

As our 100th year started to wind down, we were able to hold our spring concerts, which were very well attended! It was wonderful to have our students up on stage performing again – I think they really enjoyed it.

During the last week of school, we celebrated students’ successes with a school-wide awards ceremony. We took field trips to the Pembina State Museum, Cavalier County Museum in Dresden, Hank’s Ice Cream Shop, and the Roxy Theater. We even had a field day for grades kindergarten through 4th grade on the final day of school. We had four teams and mixed up the grades so students could participate with other students. It was a chilly day for field day, but it was so fun to see our students getting outside and being active. It was a great

I remember sitting in my basement in Flint, Michigan, on that Tuesday night. My cell phone rang, and I looked at my caller I.D. and it said North Dakota number. This was the call I had been waiting for for years. Butterflies instantly grew inside my stomach.

“Hello?” I answered with a nervous voice. It was two members of the search committee on the phone.

“We voted unanimously to bring you on as our pastor.”

“WOW! I don’t know what to say” I stammered out.

“Well, we hope you say yes!”

It was at that moment that I went from looking for a full-time ministry position to being the lead pastor of a church. It was at that moment that all the late nights doing homework or studying for exams had finally paid off. All of my prayers to fulfill my call into the ministry were finally answered.

I’d love to say that as I hung up, I was filled with hope and excitement for my new journey in life, but that wasn’t the case. I instantly felt the weight of the ministry on my shoulders. I now had a congregation of souls that I was

responsible for; I was a fisher of men. “What if I fail?” “What if I can’t be the leader they need?” I was nervous, I was about to move to another state with no family or friends. I started to doubt myselfam I the right person for this job?

Then I remembered a verse that even the newest of Christians has memorized “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

(Proverbs 3:5-6). You see, I wasn’t alone. I had the same Holy Spirit with me that Jesus promised His disciples would come in the Gospel of John. I need not fear if I was the right person for the job. God had called me to be here long before I was even born. Apart from God I could not be the pastor this church needs, but with the Lord I will succeed. With the Lord, I will persevere, and with the Lord, souls will be saved. I encourage anyone out there who may be doubting themselves to not listen to the enemy’s lies; you are not alone. If you trust in the Lord, He will make your paths straight.

Brush with the Bunch

I don‘t know if this is a milestone or if I am just dizzy/crazy! This is article 502 for the “A Brush with the Bunch“! I did not write them all as several stepped in to replace me on several occasions, which I thank you very much. Now that our double art show is over, which was very trying, thanks to a great Bunch for making it go on without a hitch. I guess I will continue with presenting several more things we did with the city and area in mind. Another school year has ended, and we all know how that went with all the COVID pandemic lasting for over 14 months. Anyhow, pictured is the North Border Walhalla bus leaving town to bring the students home. Although there are few who ride the bus anymore, it‘s the principle that counts. Our bus has been undated to include most of our present members. I think Drew is the only one that graduated from the old bus load and new riders are: Bill, Paul, Lucille, Susan, Andi, and Harry. Laurel and Liann seem to be hitchhiking, but they are holding up the bus for this picture. The retired driver, Dave Gray, passed away so we hired a new one, Flo Holen, so hold on to your hats and “Sit Down!“ The bus shows up a couple times a year in our display window- August on the way in and May on the way out. Watch for it, and drive safely now that school is out. The bus was built several years ago at Clark and Moore Construction and is maintained by the Brush Bunch pit crew, all in fun. We welcomed a new member last week, Paula Holen, as we say a sad goodbye to a dear friend and member, Andi Metelmann, who decided to retire from the Brush Bunch. We will miss her very much. She was an asset to our group, good luck. Our summer meetings continue, and the coffee is on between 10 and 4 for anyone who stops by to see some great art that was not shown at our art shows 49 and 50. From Ramblings: May you always have love to share, cash to spare, and friends who care. God Bless, and have a great summer!

Rhubarb I was visiting with someone the other day, and it was fun to discover how excited they were that their rhubarb was already up and ready to be picked. They like the dark red color of the stalks and the freshness of the spring produce. It was their first-time picking rhubarb they had started on their own, and they were very proud of their first harvest.

They are looking forward to many more harvests in the years to come.

Sometimes memories from my childhood come back when I talk to others about rhubarb, and I remember the times when my sisters and I would go and pick rhubarb from our large, established plants on the edge of the garden. We would throw the huge leaves into the woods, because we had been taught by our mother that they couldn’t be eaten and should not be fed to the cows with the rest of the produce clippings we would take down to the barnyard. I remember my younger sister having to stop helping. She could no longer pick the rhubarb because she would get such a rash on her arms where the leaves touched. She could eat the rhubarb just fine, but the picking became a problem. If I hadn’t seen the rash appear with my own eyes as she touched the rhubarb, I (in true sibling fashion) would have thought she was just trying to get out of chores. We had the best rhubarb treats every year because of

A son, Henry Wilbert, was born to Vanessa and Alex Chaput of Langdon on May 30, 2021 at Sanford Hospital in Fargo. He weighed 10 pounds, 2 ounces and was 22 inches in length.

Grandparents are Michele and Bernard Rolewitz and Terian and Kim Chaput.

He joins siblings: Claire 14, Addison 6, Ellianna 4, Jack 3 and Bianca 1.

Cavalier County Health District announced today that 100 percent of all staff members have received the COVID-19 vaccine. Cavalier County Memorial Hospital also announced that more than 78 percent their staff members have also received the COVID-19 vaccine.

“We are proud to report that our facility has vaccinated 78 percent of our staff,” said Jamie Nienhuis, Chief Nursing Officer at Cavalier County Memorial Hospital. “Our caregivers recognize that getting vaccinated is one of the most effective ways to protect themselves and our patients and community against this deadly virus. Since day one of the pandemic, they have worked day and night to keep our most vulnerable citizens safe and now we have hope that the end is near. We are seeing a drastic decline of positive COVID cases and deaths, which indicates that the vaccines are working.”

Healthcare providers were placed first in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine because of their essential role in fighting this pandemic. Vaccinating all healthcare providers will help protect them from getting sick and protect residents who are at risk for severe illness. Early protection of staff is critical to preserve an organization’s capacity to care for clients. In addition, staff can serve as role models in their communities. By getting

NDSU Extension Notes

our established plants.

One thing to be cautious of is that we have had some cold nights the last two weeks (even though it’s warmer now), and rhubarb has oxalic acid, a toxin, in the leaves.

When there is a frost, the oxalic acid could make its way down into the stalks and the stalks could become toxic to be consumed. If the leaves are wilted, brown, or damaged in any way from the frost and the stalks are wilted and mushy, just pick those stalks and discard instead of consuming. Wait to enjoy the new growth, instead. Remember the saying for all food: when in doubt, throw it out.

Rhubarb Tips: • pull the whole stalk out from the bottom (it generates more growth) • rinse stalks under running water before cutting into needed sizes • chop into pieces and store in the refrigerator for up to a week • chop, place on cookie sheet, freeze, then store in a freezer bag to enjoy after the season is over Though rhubarb is technically a vegetable, many people eat it in sweet dishes. It is full of antioxidants, rich in vitamin K and manganese, high in fiber, and low in calories. It can be used in cakes, breads, sauces, pies, and many more dishes that quickly become family favorites. Here is a recipe to try that is the right amount of sweet crunch to fulfill your rhubarb craving: Rhubarb Crunch This healthy recipe comes from NDSU Extension Service.

Ingredients 4 c. rhubarb, cut up 1/2 c. sugar

1 Tbsp. flour 1 tsp. orange peel, grated Crumble Topping: 3/4 c. flour 3/4 c. brown sugar dash salt 1/4 c. butter or margarine Sour Cream Topping: 1/2 c. dairy sour cream 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine rhubarb, sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and orange peel. Place in an 8-inch square pan. Prepare crumble topping by combining 3/4 cup flour with brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter or margarine until crumbly. Sprinkle over rhubarb mixture. Bake 40-45 minutes.

Right before serving, combine sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and drizzle over the top.

A serving (1/8 of the recipe) contains 250 calories and 9 grams of fat, which is much lower than a slice of double crust rhubarb pie but still a “treat.” Remember, too, that to burn up the energy from a 250-calorie dessert, you’ll need to weed for about 50 minutes.

State B High School Baseball Tournament last spring high school event before summer; American Legion Baseball starts June 8 As we begin this week, we are just about ready to head to Jamestown for the State Class B High School Baseball Tournament. Both the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals and North Star Bearcats made it to state in their respective regions, and we were getting ready to cover them both. For the Cardinals, the stage is certainly set for them to get their first-ever state high school baseball title, as they are seeded first in the eight team bracket. Their fate should be just about known as you read these words this week.

It won't be much of a break for most of the Cardinals players, as most will be playing American Legion baseball with the Langdon Red Sox. Their first game is scheduled for June 8 in Minto with their first home game June 9 against Grafton. Some of the Cardinals younger players will be playing for

the Langdon Eagles in Babe Ruth baseball. Their season is already underway. Tanner Groth is once again coaching the Red Sox this season, while Hayes Haslekaas is helming the Eagles. Both teams are hoping for a very successful seasons.

Lady Cards track has several girls place at the State Track Meet It was a very successful State track meet for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls team.

After winning the Northeast Regional, the Lady Cards had a number of girls qualify at the state tourney held at the Community Bowl in Bismarck May 28-29.

Leading the way were senior Lexi Olson and freshman Cora Badding, who each qualified in two events. Lexi placed second in the 300 meter hurdles and eighth in the 200 meter run, while Badding took second place in the long jump and sixth in the triple jump. Also placing for the Cardinals was junior Alexa Schneider, who finished fifth in girls pole vault, and eighth grader Meredith Romfo, who got sixth in the javelin.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich ended up taking eighth place in the overall team standings with 27 points. A huge shout out to both the Cardi-

nals girls and boys teams and head coaches Jane Hart and Rich Olson on another successful season.

Tournament season ready to begin at the Langdon Country Club State golf meets were held in Carrington for the boys and Jamestown for the girls on June 1-2. The Cardinals girls team took 12th at state. It won't be long until they will play again since Class B girls golf is moving to the fall this year. Their next season will get started in just a couple of months in August.

At the Langdon County Club, the month of June kicks things into high gear- tournament season is about to begin. The 2nd Annual Langdon Country Club fundraising tournament is running on June 5th followed by the Cavalier County Memorial Hospital Charity Golf Tournament on June 12th and the Langdon Area School District Foundation Tournament on the 19th. There were still openings in all three tourneys at the time of this writing. Groundskeeper Kevin "Cocoa" Beauchamp has the course looking fantastic, so try and get out and enjoy the course soon.

Stay cool, and "See ya!" next week!

Prairie Fare: Grilled vegetables and fruits have a flavor boost

“Mom, this fruit tastes extra sweet!” my daughter remarked as she sampled a slice of grilled pineapple along with a bite of grilled ham. She was about 11 at the time.

I tasted a piece of pineapple and nodded in agreement.

“Why does the pineapple taste so sweet?” she asked.

“Fruit naturally contains sugar,” I explained. “The heat of the grill causes the sugar to caramelize and taste even sweeter to us.”

“Grilling also adds a smoky flavor to fruits,” I added.

I appreciated her interest.

I thought she was attempting to inspire a column. Turns out, I was correct.

“I think you should write a column about grilling fruits and vegetables,” she suggested as she reached for another slice of pineapple.

“That’s a good idea,” I said.

Unfortunately, we cannot grow fresh pineapple in the Midwest for our grilling menu. In many grocery stores, pineapple has its peak season in spring and summer.

Most people shortchange themselves on fruits and vegetables, especially dark green and dark gold/ orange ones. Eating more fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease and diabetes, and can help with weight management.

Fruits and vegetables are high in volume but low in calories because most types of fruits and vegetables are more than 90% water. Consuming adequate water whether through beverages or food is essential for maintaining the function of our body.

Adding some fruits and vegetables to your grill is a good idea on many levels. Fruits and vegetables add color, texture, flavor and nutrition without adding a lot of calories.

Fruits and vegetables add fiber to your diet, a component lacking for many adults and children. Many fruits and vegetables are notable sources of vitamins A and C, along with phytochemicals (natural plant chemicals).

As we proceed into summer months, different vegetables and fruits come into season. When fresh fruits and vegetables are in season, they are at their best quality and, usually, lowest price in grocery stores.

Adding some variety to your meal preparation options can inspire your family to try some new foods. Add some vegetables to your grilling menu with these food safety and preparation tips: • Rinse fruits and vegetables under running water.

• Preheat your grill. Cook small items using a grilling pan with slots or small holes.

• Cut vegetables into large, flat pieces of even thickness throughout each slice. You can cut them into smaller pieces after cooking.

• Prepare bell peppers by cutting off the top and bottom of the pepper.

Remove the core and then cut the pepper in half from top to bottom. (This

way you end up with two flat rectangles that are grilled skin side down.)

• Add flavor to vegetables with olive oil (or another type of oil) and your favorite seasonings. Lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet, brush with oil and season. Turn them over and repeat on the other side.

• Use marinades to add flavor. Be aware that sugar-based marinades cause the exterior of the vegetables to blacken.

• Use moist and dry heat to cook your vegetables. Grill the vegetables until they have grill markings on both sides. Remove them from the grill and place into a bowl or pot. Cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the steam from escaping for five to 10 minutes.

This will finish the cooking process of the vegetables without drying them out.

• Maintain food safety. Vegetables do not need to be temperaturechecked after cooking; however, fresh cut and cooked vegetables are perishable. Keep cooked food hot (above 140 F) and serve cut produce in containers nested over ice-filled containers.

• If you make kabobs with meat and vegetables, be sure the meat reaches a safe internal temperature.

Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165 F. If you serve hamburgers with your grilled veggies, be sure the ground beef reaches 160 F. Instead of a recipe, this week I provide some approximate grilling times for vegetables. You might be surprised that romaine lettuce can be grilled briefly to give it a smoky flavor. Many of these vegetables can be grown in your garden, so keep this in mind for your home-grown veggies or other locally grown vegetables later this summer.

Remember, the cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill.

• Asparagus: six to eight minutes • Bell peppers: whole, 10 to 12 minutes; halved or quartered, six to eight minutes • Corn on the cob: peeled, 10 to 12 minutes; in husk, 25 to 30 minutes • Green beans: eight to 10 minutes • Green onions: whole, three to four minutes • Onions: whole, 45 to 50 minutes; halved, 35 to 40 minutes • Mushrooms: shitake or button, eight to 10 minutes; portobello, 12 to 15 minutes • Potatoes: new, halved, 20 to 25 minutes; whole potatoes, 45 minutes • Romaine lettuce: whole head, one to two minutes • Summer squash (yellow squash, zucchini): 1/2-inch slices, six to eight minutes • Sweet potatoes: 1/4-inch slides, eight to 10 minutes See the NDSU Extension publications “Try Adding Some Fruits and Vegetables to Your Grilling Menu” (FN1856) and “Grill Something Different” (FN1420) for more tips.

Dakota Gardener: Your neck of the woods

By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension “What’s going on in your neck of the woods?”

I love that expression, though admittedly it’s a little weird to ask that in the prairie environment of North Dakota. Regardless, it’s a pretty clear question: What’s happening where you are?

When I ask this question, the context is most often about the trees.

What’s going on with the trees in your area? Are some doing better than others? Probably so. What have people been seeing around North Dakota this spring? Here’s what I’ve seen and heard.

As we all know, it’s dry, dry, dry.

This past week, we planted about 40 trees at the Myra Arboretum near Larimore, in western Grand Forks County.

The crew at the Arboretum predug many of the holes the day before planting. Then they added a bucket of water to each hole. By the time we planted the next day, all that water was gone.

Following planting, we immediately added another bucket of water to the soil around each newly planted tree. That helped, but those trees will definitely need additional moisture if they’re going to survive.

KIDS OF ALL AGES!

Make sure that your own trees are getting enough water, especially those younger or smaller trees that were planted in the last few years.

We’re also seeing tip dieback on some young maples and especially birch trees. Reports have come in from Valley City, Bismarck, Minot and elsewhere. Many different types of birch are affected: paper birch, Asian white birch, grey birch and river birch all have shown dieback.

Birch trees are interesting to me.

They need full sunlight, but they also need a cool, moist soil. That’s a tricky combination to achieve, especially in urban environments.

Early season defoliators are showing up, which is normal. In eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota, the eastern tent caterpillar has been seen chowing down on chokecherry leaves. These insects are easily controlled by physically removing the nests at night, when the larvae are all together after feeding all day. While it might be tempting to use a blowtorch to burn out the nests, that also will damage the tree, perhaps even more than the damage caused by the insects’ feeding.

The cankerworm outbreak that was widespread in central North Dakota in 2020 hasn’t been so bad this year, at least so far. Usually, we don’t notice these insects until the damage is pretty bad, far beyond the time that they can be controlled.

For more information on controlling cankerworms, please see the NDSU Extension publication “Cankerworms in North Dakota” at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/publications/lawns-gardens-trees/cankerworms-in-north-dakota.

Finally, a lot of spruce and pine trees are showing damage in many parts of the state. In 2020, ponderosa pines were dying in many places, due mainly to the wet fall of 2019.

This delayed effect still is showing up on ponderosa pines.

The midwinter warm spell that we had in 2021 damaged Colorado blue spruce throughout the state.

Add in the stress from the drought, and it’s a difficult situation.

Does all of this have a bright side? As an educator, I see an opportunity for people to learn more about tree care and about planting the right tree in the right place.

Birch trees need cool, moist soils and do best in areas with a northfacing slope, and near the bottom of a slope where moisture will collect. Spruce and pine do terrible in low areas, or anywhere that water pools.

This will be a challenging year for trees. Most will make it, but some won’t. Do your best.

Beware of Cutworms and Wireworms: Cutworm damage in a dry bean field has been reported this week in our county. Rows of plants have been cut off in hilly areas and field edges. Larval counts of 20-30 larvae per square foot have been reported.

Crops in seedling through 4-6 leaf stage are especially susceptible to cutworm feeding injury, so weekly/biweekly and routine scouting is important.

Cutworms damage plants in the larval stage (caterpillar) and cause plant injury by cutting stems above or below the soil line, chewing on the foliage and reducing plant stands. Cutworms often will move down a row as they continue to feed on plants.

Evening scouting for cutworm larvae is best, since they feed at night and hide underneath clumps of soil and debris during the day. If you find cut off plants, dig around these plants about two or more inches deep, and search for cutworms. When disturbed, cutworms curl up into a ‘C-shape.’ Row crops, such as soybean, dry beans, canola, lentils, field peas and sunflowers, are more susceptible to cutworm damage than small grains, because cut plants do not grow back (grains compensate by tillering).

All cutworm species are lumped together for the action thresholds. If cutworms are at or above the action

thresholds listed below for different field crops, then a ‘rescue’ foliar insecticide application is warranted.

An evening application is recommended to target the peak feeding of cutworms at night, but be sure to monitor for temperature inversion and do not spray during an inversion.

• Canola – 1 larva per square foot • Corn - 3-6% of the plants are cut and small larvae (<3/4 inch) present • Peas / Lentils – 2 to 3 larvae per square meter • Small grain – 4 to 5 larvae per square foot • Soybean - 1 larva per 3 feet of row or 20% of plants are cut • Sunflower - 1 larva per square foot or 25-30% of plants cut You can often find both small and large larvae of the same or different cutworm species in a field. If the majority of the larvae are small, <¾ inch, they still have a lot of crop feeding to do before maturity, so an insecticide treatment will be necessary when you are at or above the action threshold. If you are finding a mixture of some small cutworms, many large cutworms and some pupae, it may be too late for a foliar insecticide application since the majority of the larvae are mature (done feeding) and/or pupating (a non-feeding life stage). Remember most cutworms are difficult to kill, so they require the mid- to high labeled rates of an insecticide for effective control. A low rate of insecticide may not provide the kill needed and you may need to respray a field with high densities of cutworms. Another advantage of using the mid- to high labeled rates of insecticides is that you get a longer residual of 7-10 days for most pyrethroid insecticides.

For insecticides registered for cutworm control by field crops, please consult the 2021 North Dakota Field Crop Insect Management Guide E1143.

NDSU Extension Notes

Cavalier County. Wireworms are the larvae of click beetles (Fig. 1) (Coleoptera: Elateridae), and feed on most field crops grown in North Dakota. Wireworm larvae (Fig. 1) are hard, smooth, slender worms varying from 1½ to 2 inches in length when mature. They are white, yellow or dark brown with three pairs of small, thin legs behind the head.

The last body segment is forked or notched.

Figure 1. Wireworms, larvae and adult (click beetle) Photos: Northern Pulse Growers Association(larva) and University of Minnesota Extension (Adult) W i r e worms prefer cereal crops like wheat, barley, oats, but will also feed on row crops like sunflowers.

This week, agronomists scouting wheat fields in the north central ND observed wireworms feeding on newly planted wheat seeds and dingy cutworm larvae crawling around.

The moist soil conditions are more favorable for wireworm development and larval movements within the soil profile. As soil temperatures start to warm up to 50-55 F in the spring, wireworms will move to the soil surface and become more active feeding on seeds / roots, and tun-

neling into stems / seeds (Fig. 2).

Damage caused by wireworms include significant stand loss, reduce vigor and potential yield losses, especially in row crops like sunflowers. In recent years, wireworm activity has been increasing in severity, especially in no-till fields out in western North Dakota.

One of the ‘best’ pest management strategies against wireworms is knowing your field’s history for wireworm population levels. Wireworms have a long-life cycle of 3-5 years as larvae in the soil. So, once they are detected at high densities, the field will remain ‘high’ risk for several years.

The second strategy for managing wireworm populations is insecticides and includes neonicotinoid insecticide seed treatments, or an in-furrow pyrethroid insecticide at plant.

However, insecticides from both of these classes do not provide ‘adequate’ kill of wireworms in the field. Neonicotinoids only prolong morbidity periods (over 150 days) during which wireworms do not feed and pyrethroids are repellent and generally nonlethal to wireworms. Some growers have resorted to using both insecticides, an insecticide seed treatment + a pyrethroid in-furrow, for wireworm control. However, recent research in sunflower has shown that there was no added benefit to using both insecticides, an insecticide seed treatment + a pyrethroid in-furrow, for wireworm control. Using both insecticides did not improve plant stand or increase yield compared to using either insecticide alone (Fig. 3). In addition, input costs were higher compared to using either insecticide alone.

Other research suggests that blending could cause antagonistic effects by changing the behavior of wireworms. For example, wireworm morbidity induced by a nonlethal

insecticide prevents sufficient ingestion of a lethal compound to cause mortality (van Herk et al.

2015. J Pest Sci 88: 717-739).

Even though the current insecticide seed treatments and pyrethroids applied either as in-furrow liquids do not kill wireworms, both insecticides had higher plant stand establishment and higher yield than the no insecticide (untreated check) (Fig. 3). In addition, increasing rates of insecticide seed treatment, pyrethroid in-furrow did not significantly improve efficacy against wireworms or increase yield (data not shown).

Best pest management recommendations for wireworm control include: • Use a registered insecticide seed treatments or a registered liquid pyrethroid in-furrow at the labeled rate to provide crop protection against wireworm feeding injury in spring.

• Know your field history of wireworm pressures, since wireworms can live as larvae for 3-5+ years in the soil.

• Control grassy weeds in fields to reduce attractiveness of field sites for egg laying by wireworms.

• Increase seeding rate by 1020% to compensate for wireworm stand loss.

EPA approves herbicide for resistant waterhemp in sugarbeets The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a request for a Section 18 emergency exemption for Ultra Blazer®, enabling North Dakota growers a new tool to combat glyphosate-resistant waterhemp in sugarbeets.

“With the discontinuance of Betamix, there are currently no registered postemergence products available to control waterhemp that survives preemergence treatments,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “This exemption gives growers a new product when early treatments are ineffective.”

The exemption allows application of Ultra Blazer on sugarbeet

Dicamba applicators reminded of new label requirements Dicamba applicators are reminded to follow the new label requirements for Engenia, XtendiMax and Tavium. The products were re-registered in October 2020 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after a federal court ruling in June 2020 vacated the previous 2018 registrations.

“Applicators are required to identify all nearby sensitive areas prior to application and are advised to closely monitor atmospheric conditions when planning applications.

It is also a good idea to consider forecasted changes in wind direction for the next 48 hours following a planned application that may have an impact on adjacent sensitive areas,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Many of the off-target incidents we’ve investigated over the last several years have concluded that proper applications were made; however, wind shifts that occurred after the application caused damage to neighboring crops. Good communication between applicators and neighboring landowners is also crucial to help prevent damage.”

Some notable changes to the federal label include: • Prohibits over-the-top (OTT) application of Dicamba on soybeans after June 30 • Increased record-keeping requirements

• Only approved tank mix partners can be used • Must leave a 240’ downwind buffer to sensitive areas • Nine counties in North Dakota are required to leave a 310’ downwind buffer as well as a 57’ buffer along all other edges of the field to comply with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements: Burke Bottineau Ward McHenry McLean Stutsman Sargent Richland “With the future of these products still uncertain due to a pending lawsuit, it is even more important to focus on early pre-emergent applications,” Goehring said. “These products have shown to provide 3-4 weeks of residual so pre-emergent applications can offer significant weed control.”

Applicators are reminded that these are restricted use products.

Applicators must be properly certified and take the annual productspecific training provided by registrants prior to using the products.

For more information on the new label requirements, users may contact a local agronomist, chemical representative, or extension agent.

May 18, 2021 On May 18, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. Webex was utilized for those wanting to attend the meeting virtually. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Various legislative changes were discussed by Stanley Dick. Future road funding was discussed in depth and it was decided to research the amount the county has spent on engineering the past few years and possibly look into budgeting for a county engineer. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and presented a Tree Variance for Darin Kaercher along County 39. David Zeis made a motion to approve the Tree Variance for Darin Kaercher, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Johnston stated that Kaercher had an 18” X 50’ culvert in his approach along County 39 needing to be replaced.

Stanley Dick made a motion to replace the culvert, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. The updated Culvert & Bridge Policy was reviewed with changes to portions of cities that will qualify for cost share.

Nick Moser made a motion to approve the Culvert & Bridge Policy with the proposed changes, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

Johnston presented a sales agreement with Husky for road oil in the amount of $17,475, which would last for about 2 years of crack sealing. Austin Lafrenz signed the sales agreement as commission chair. The monthly summary timesheet for the roadmen was reviewed. Nick Moser asked when Gene Feil would get his remaining comp time used. David Zeis stated he would take care of it. Johnston presented a request for a 36” X 40’ culvert between Sections 23 & 26 in Minto Township.

Johnston stated he would double check if the culvert is on a legal drain, which would then be a cost share with the Water Board. Bob Blake had approved the culvert request on behalf of the Water Board.

Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the culvert request, seconded

by David Zeis, motion carried. Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners and gave an update on the design progress for the bridge on County 45 in Montrose Township.

Daley also presented a Construction Engineering Contract for the gravel project on County 13 (estimated at $95,000, mostly for gravel testing). David Zeis made a motion to approve the contract, seconded

by Stanley Dick, motion carried.

Daley also stated that the design engineering for County 6 is underway.

Jenelle Brown joined the meeting via Webex, requesting a Tree Variance along County 55 in Fremont Township. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the Tree Variance for Jenelle Brown. Goodman amended the motion to approve the Tree Variance for Jenelle Brown, subject to approval from Fremont Township, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to transfer $6,079.84 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $810.00 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to transfer $607.98 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by Greg Goodman to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: QUADIENT FINANCE USA, INC, MISC___________________ 2,000.00 ERLING'S OIL, INC., R&B________ ________________________1,028.00 STANLEY DICK, COMM___ 228.48 DACOTAH PAPER CO., MAINT__ _________________________ 683.52 RAMKOTA HOTEL, COMM______ __________________________ 86.40 MATTHEW-BENDER & CO.

Fire Declaration on May 12, 2021, banning all fires in Cavalier County, which then needed to be ratified by the commission as a whole within 7 days for it to remain in effect. Nick Moser made a motion to keep the county-wide burn ban in effect until 12 AM on May 24, 2021, at which point the county would be in a conditional burn ban, based on the fire index. Nick Moser rescinded his motion and amended it to keep the county-wide burn ban in effect until 12 AM on May 24, 2021 (unless approval is received in writing from the proper fire district chief for a controlled burn – then no charges would be pressed) and at 12 AM on May 24, 2021 the county would then go back to the conditional burn ban, based on the fire index. Amended motion was seconded by David Zeis. A roll call vote was taken: Greg Goodman-no; Stanley Dickno; David Zeis-yes; Nick Moser-yes; Austin Lafrenz-yes. Motion carried 3 to 2. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, informed the commission that she had received preliminary approval for a Homeland Security grant to replace the locks on the courthouse with automated locks, based on Homeland Security’s recommendation. No matching funds are required for the grant. It was decided that Austin Lafrenz would request the Federal Recovery Funds online from the US Treasury on behalf of the county. Stanley Dick made a motion to create a new fund for the Federal Recovery Funds, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Stanley Dick stated that NDACo was still working on determining whether the counties could use the Federal Recovery Funds to replace the loss of Prairie Dog funding. Steph Welsh, Public Health Nurse, met with the commissioners to review the COVID Emergency Declaration. After much discussion on the pros and cons of keeping the Emergency Declaration in effect, Greg Goodman made a motion to end the Emergency Declaration at 12 AM on June 1, 2021, seconded

by Nick Moser, motion carried. At 12:20 p.m., Greg Goodman made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Nick Moser; motion carried.

Page 14 – Monday, June 7, 2021

By Rita Maisel

Helping Creativity Grow People of every age are tired of living with pandemic fears and regulations that have kept us indoors more than normal and made many adjustments necessary. While adults often have previous experiences to fall back on, the media keeps informing us that this will be something that will hold children back in the future. The experts could be right, but children are resilient and also creative. With that thought in mind, I wanted to share some personal memories of being alive in the tail end of the depression and grasshopper years, life during World War II with rationing, and the fear of attack by foreign powers constantly on the horizon.

At the same time, we had to try to balance those fears with just being normal kids.

My brother and I were fortunate to have lived through the era of fears from outside sources with no special emphasis on our mental state of mind- no counselors. Our mother worked at an office all day every day. We had no swimming pool, no little league or summer school, no television or social media, almost no playground equipment of any kind, originally no library privileges (you had to be ten years old or the child of a woman’s club member to borrow books- also a fee was charged), and a few other items kids today take for granted.

At our home, and I suspect at many homes in Langdon during that era, the day started around 6 a.m. when the radio signed on (WDAY station) and my aunt got up to make fire in the kitchen range and begin breakfast. No one slept in that I can remember. Breakfast was over by 8 a.m. and my mother off to walk to the courthouse where she worked.

Before that time, beds were made, various people had stopped by to drop off items or to ask my mother to do errands for them, an aunt who was an invalid was dressed and settled for the day, and the aunt who cooked and ran the house had her day planned as well. Doors all over the neighborhood opened and kids ran to school or, if it was summer, went out to play. We did not have play dates. We found things to do in our own yards or in the yards of neighbor children who also played with no really close supervision.

Apparently, we had no helicopter parents, and it seems like children were welcome in most yards.

There was generally one bicycle per household, and at our house, my brother purchased the bicycle with his paper route earnings. I

was his substitute and got to ride it when he was away from home. We also had a sandbox in a metal tractor tire rim and a rope and board swing attached to a tree. Neighbors in one direction had a wooden playhouse and a strip of sidewalk which ran from their front door to their back door. There was also grass which needed to be mowed and a garden and flower beds that needed to be tended to. The garden chores seemed to be reserved for girls, and once you knew the good plants from the weeds, your services (unpaid) were required by neighbors as well as family members.

A plus to being a girl who had learned to read in first grade was that neighbors loaned me books and magazines and let me take care of their small children. A summer or two my best friend was a baby named Robert who would be placed in his buggy (later his stroller), and I would be told to take him around the neighborhood. Robert loved visiting everywhere even before he could talk. That led to being trusted to babysit other children. The cousins who were at our house either singly or several at a time went along with us.

A family who got the Minneapolis Tribune Sunday edition would save their comics for me. This was a rare treat because one of the comics was Brenda Starr, Girl Reporter, and in the Sunday edition she was a paper doll with fashionable outfits.

If you have ever played with paper dolls, you know one or two outfits a week is not an adequate wardrobe for a girl reporter. Fortunately, the catalogues (Sears and Montgomery Wards) would send you a book of wallpaper samples for a penny!

The soft colors looked like cloth and made up into enough outfits for my paper dolls and those of younger girls who also enjoyed the dolls. By the time I was ten or eleven, the going rate was six outfits for a penny – or less. When the scrap box of paper dresses got too full, my aunt sent my future designing career to the trash. The penny price charge also held for neighborhood carnivals or other entertainment put on for neighbor children.

Some churches are having Bible School this week, and there were times when we could stay with farm relatives and go to Zion Bible School. Later in the summer there was a Langdon Community Bible School at the Presbyterian Church led by ladies from Child Evangelism. This might have been a twoweek session, and children from other churches were welcome to attend. Bible School included quite a lot of memorization and singing fun songs and choruses. Most girls graduated from students to helpers and then teachers by the time they reached high school.

Cavalier County Republican

Langdon Long Ago

My brother was always a builder- beginning with blocks and then on to tinker toys, Lincoln logs, early legos, an erector set which he dearly loved, and taking apart almost anything that came to our house and then putting it back together. There were lots of boys in our neighborhood to play with, and as they got old enough, they became explorers who daily investigated any building or remodeling project going on in Langdon. Rodney and his friends were in Cub Scouts who had a number of activities and also took their canteens and tin dishes out camping. We were told they learned many ways of lighting a campfire and were instructed on forestry and poisonous weeds. They also tied a lot of knots. Later they moved up to regular Boy Scouts and worked hard on their Morse Code skills, built transmitter radios, and used them to contact each other since only a few of the boys had telephones in their homes. This skill backfired when television was invented, and their ‘not so private’ conversations began filtering into the television airwaves. In adulthood his skills came in handy as part of an army radio unit and later in jobs for FCC and national networks.

Low wages for women meant we did not have the higher-priced toys at our house which was not all bad. Many of the girls I knew had received a last doll when they were eight or nine years of age, and that doll was rarely played with but spent much of her life on a shelf or dressed in her nicest outfit on a guest room bed. However, we had board games and jigsaw puzzles which saw us through stormy or rainy days and remained great entertainment for many years. We learned to count playing Sorry and to spell playing anagrams and later Scrabble. Some of the games were gifts from family friends to either my Aunt Pearl or my Aunt Adeline so they were shared and played as a family. Other aunts and uncles, and some of the cousins, made sure we were never allowed to play with a deck of cards that might be used for poker, bridge, or other adult games.

For card games we were limited to Old Maid, Authors, Rook, Pit, and other inventions.

One of my godmothers sent us a box of watercolor paints which introduced us to painting and new names for many colors. That box of paint lasted for at least twenty

years until I taught at a school that had powder paints that we were allowed to mix up and teach the children to paint with. Actually, that was my own introduction to a short but enjoyable art experience since the teachers at Langdon in that era did not have art as a class subject. One elementary teacher did show us how to make snowflakes and hearts – a skill that opened the doors to teaching my own students how to make those plus butterflies with paper and scissors.

Towards the end of World War II (gas rationing was still on) a Girl Scout troop was formed at Langdon which included both girls from the public school and St. Alphonsus.

This became the first time girls from the two schools were officially allowed to be together, although in our neighborhood we tended to not exclude friends who attended another church. This group of girls went to camp at Turtle River State Park and received an unforgettable education in sunburn, leeches when swimming, and cooking on a buddy burner which was simply an upside-down gallon sized can. Yes, we still remember the night the tent went down and that Romeo Chaput brought us home in his grain truck because of the gas shortage.

There are now houses and manicured lawns or flower beds in the coulee which was once home to minnows and frogs or salamanders but at the same time was our favorite playground in every season. We enjoyed the cattails, complained about the yucky green algae and crossed on the bridge many times a day, skated on the frozen water in winter and thought of it as our special place. We also had free run of Ramage’s Pasture, Tony’s Pasture and, if no one caught us, exploring Calvary Cemetery. Now houses, schools, ball fields and the park fill those areas. In our day kites flew from hills no longer visible, and many wildflowers bloomed in the ditches. The roads to and from were not paved and often muddy but home to many earthworms after a rain. Some of the homes you see today were probably built in those areas by the children who once played there or maybe by their children and grandchildren.

Those reading this who think Langdon has always had streetlights might be surprised to learn that really is not true. Once electricity was available, some lights

were put up along Main Street (now Third) and a few others along Highway 5 (now Ninth Avenue). Yard lights did not emerge until possibly the 1950s. What we did have was the sky overhead day and night. I have no memory of learning about constellations in science class; it might have been mentioned on one of the pages but was not something we spent time on. Farmers tended to judge many things by the sky, the phases of the moon, the times of sunrise and sunset. My mother would point out to us the more familiar constellations, rings around the moon and stars inside those rings as a way of knowing when a storm might appear. As children we enjoyed the northern lights from the back yard when trees were fewer or farther between than they are today. Before rural electricity was available, families would stand on an upstairs porch and look for those same sights.

After power lines were installed, they stopped seeing the stars and began counting the yard lights that spelled out their nearby neighbors.

Children learn just from being children, and if some of the world around them is pointed out by parents or friends they absorb what they see and hear in a special way. Long ago Langdon and the surrounding farms may have lacked things that today’s families feel are very necessary, but we did have a community filled with opportunities for learning that could not be felt and seen just from reading about them in books at school.

Some students will enjoy collecting lady bugs in a jar or even knowing the simpler names of a few flowers or trees. My aunt brought back a strange “seed” she found in the park at Cavalier around 1970. It was planted in a small soup can where it stayed for years and grew to be a plant with about three leaves which to me looked like oak leaves.

We put it outdoors to see if it was going to be a tree. A little girl came one day and asked if she could have a leaf from that tree, about as tall as she was, to take for show and tell.

Of course. Today it is one of the tallest trees in that neighborhood.

Creative ideas have a way of growing that just might fill in the blanks missed while struggling with pandemic school sessions. Parent and grandparents may help that creativity along just by encouraging the ideas children generate every day.
