In a special meeting held August 3, the Langdon Area School Board unanimously approved plans to tentatively return to face-to-face learning for the upcoming school year. This decision came with a risk level framework divided into five phases, outlining that the school may need to return to varying levels of distance learning depending on state-level guidance and community safety. Two individual plans formulated by a special committee, made up of administration, staff, students, community members, parents, County health authorities, and board members, were submitted. The primary plan, Return to Learning Plan, outlines guidance and protocols for student and staff safety in regards to face-to-face learning. The second, Distance Learning Plan 2020-2021, exclusively outlines plans for various levels of distance learning. These plans were presented to the board after extensive deliberations on how to approach uncertainties the school may face in relation to the COVID-19 epidemic. Many aspects of preepidemic school culture have and will continue to be adjusted. With many members of the community anxious to hear what changes will be implemented, the school strove to outline what the community should expect. It was previously noted that an implementation of a five-phase
risk assessment will be implemented. These five phases are organized into three response levels in relation to risk. Respectively, they are color coded as Blue/Green, Yellow, and Orange/ Red. Blue/Green represents the new normal level of operation. Standard precautions will be observed. Yellow classifies a heightened exposure risk, with viral transmission still under control.
With this outlined, many may wonder what the new normal will look like. With school grounds opening amid a Blue/ Green “new normal” level, individuals can expect to see a higher-level of precautions. For example, students, staff, and visitors will be required to wear face coverings when moving around the building. Signs advising this will be placed at all
Orange/Red represents significant risk with a high likelihood of exposure. Following these risk levels, the school will observe open grounds with restrictions in a Blue/Green stage; a mixture of distance learning and open grounds for Yellow, and closed grounds and distance learning only for Orange/Red. It’s also important to note that students at risk or households who are uncomfortable sending students to school facilities, will be permitted to choose distance learning from day one.
entrances to school grounds. Face coverings have emerged as the primary tool against COVID transmission and are often associated with medical masks. However, in addition to masks, bandanas, scarves, or any other readily available cloth article that covers both the nose and mouth to prevent large droplets from becoming airborne will be permitted. It is recommended by the Center for Disease Control that if reusable coverings are implemented, they be washed after each use. They state that

face coverings can be washed in regular laundry using laundry detergent and the warmest appropriate water setting for respective material. (CDC) While students and staff will be required to provide these items themselves, disposable masks will be present for visitors that need them. These coverings will be required in hallways, common areas, and busses. In exception to this is classrooms and lunch periods. During these times, depending on the risk phase, social distancing will be integrated to allow individuals to remove said coverings. One other exception to this rule will be implemented in the elementary school. There, some teaching staff will wear face shields. This exception is with a concern that it is critical for the development of the lower grade levels to see the pronunciation of phonics from their teachers. The school has also warned that social distancing isn’t always possible on busses. Participants in school transportation should understand that there are risks associated. With this stated, no individual will be allowed on the bus without wearing a face covering. Guardians can expect to see a questionnaire to determine individuals that are at a heightened risk from infection. This will allow the school to present these individuals with alternative learning methods if necessary. Staff will start the year with the necessary training to effeccont. on page 2
CCMH welcomes new ambulance director By Melissa Anderson Republican Writer Cavalier County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) has focused on how they can best serve the community from the beginning. Recently, they added to their staff a new ambulance director in Chris Sanders, whose focus on community matches CCMH perfectly. “I am originally from Missouri. I am married, and my wife’s name is Melinda, and my son, Levi, is 26. I started on July 6, and I am loving the community and the area along with the support from the hospital staff and administration. It has been very welcoming and positive. It was a good move for us,” Sanders said. Sanders has been a paramedic for 32 years and holds a Bachelor's degree in Emergency Management and a Master's degree in Disaster Planning and Emergency Management. His experience is extensive, having worked at busy services that do 911 and emergent transfers in the rural setting to international EMS. “I was overseas, where I was the Paramedic Director for the Saudi Red Crescent Authority
which is a sister organization to the International Red Cross, and basically we modernized their EMS system based on United States standards and brought it to an ALS (advanced life support) service with paramedics,” Sanders explained. “I have worked in various management rolls over the years. I have worked in both the public and private sectors of EMS and feel I am able to bring domestic and international experience to my job.” His travels have brought him and his family from a small, rural town in Missouri to a small, rural town in North Dakota, proving that nothing beats the small-town setting. Sanders and his family, including Gracie, a Golden Retriever, enjoy the small things in life. This includes going to antique markets and outdoor sports. Sanders and his son are both into shooting and love the gun range. Outdoor sportsman to the core, they also love to fish, and Sanders admits he loves duck and goose hunting. “We came through the Dakotas a few years ago on a road trip vacation and really loved the area and what it has to ofcont. on page 3

Cavalier County Commission prepares for upcoming budget The Cavalier County Commission had a lot of business to discuss at their recent meeting held on Tuesday, August 4. Besides their usual review of county roads with Cavalier County Road Supervisor Terry Johnston, the Commission reviewed a proposal from the North Dakota Association of Counties. Commissioner Stanley Dick, who is the liaison for Cavalier County as well as a member of the executive board for NDACo, informed his fellow commissioners that there is a proposal being put forward to the counties. Because the Prairie Dog bill is looking to fail to fill any of the “buckets” and the need of the counties and cities for funding of infrastructure projects, NDACo is suggesting a $.10 increase to the gas tax. This increase would generate millions more in revenue to use for roads. Dick explained that currently the gas tax in North Dakota sits at 23 cents, which is the lowest
among the Midwest states of Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, and N. D. The Commissioners discussed the implications of this increase in gas tax as well as what they would be comfortable with. Commissioner Greg Goodman was supportive of the increase so long as the tax did not apply to farm diesel and that the regulations related to using state money for local infrastructure was relaxed. Goodman believes that producers already are taxed enough, and the state requirements for engineering on projects increases the project cost by 40 percent in most cases. The Commission as a whole agreed with Goodman, with Dick adding that a percentage of the Legacy Fund should be utilized for this purpose. Commissioner Nick Moser added that perhaps when presented as legislation, that a trigger be put in place that at a certain gas price, the additional 10 cent increase is dropped. The Commission focused on the budget next. Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner prepared two budgets for the commissioners. One budget had the 37
mill increase without any potential CARES Act funding and a second budget that did have the CARES Act funding. During review of the proposed budgets, the commissioners noted that the practice of asking for mills should be changed to an exact dollar amount to make the budget process easier. This was also suggested as the amount of mill has been increasing over the years. In Other Business • The Commission also discussed and reviewed the Premier Benefits HR contract with Cavalier County States Attorney Scott Stewart. After thorough debate, the commissioners approved the contract. • The Commission held discussion on approving a raffle permit for the District 10 Republicans. Concern about maintaining non-partisan stance on county business as well as if the applying group fit Century Code description for those who can have raffle was the main concern. The commissioners ultimately approved the raffle permit.
Starting a new school year is a stressful time under the best of circumstances, let alone during a pandemic. The North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Behavioral Health Division has a new resource available to help parents and caregivers in supporting children with back-to-school plans, whether that means returning to school full time, distance learning or a hybrid model. The new Parents Lead resource can help guide conversations with children to better prepare them for this school year. “Even with all the uncertainty, parents and caregivers can prepare their kids with healthy skills before returning school,” said Behavioral Health Division Director Pamela Sagness. “Depending on age, these things can include setting expectations around handwashing, walking through different scenarios like returning to school but wearing a mask or distance learning plans.” The new Parents Lead resource encourages parents and caregivers to provide a space for their child to talk about their questions and concerns, be honest about what to expect and lead by example. Sagness suggests instead of highlighting what not to do, parents and caregivers can provide alternative behaviors for their children, such as a fun wave instead of a hug or pointing out the positives in situations that may be different, like eating lunch in the classroom. “School leaders, parents and caregivers must make difficult decisions regarding back to school this year,” she said. “Thank you to all parents and caregivers for working to ensure students are prepared for this school year while being ND
Smart.” Parentslead.org offers resources and tips on: • Preparing your child for changes they could face when starting school this fall, such as face mask requirements, distanced seating or eating places and hybrid schedules. • Reassuring them that these measures are in place to keep everyone healthy. • Finding out as much as possible about what the school has planned, so you can prepare your kids and yourself. • Outlining, as best as you can, what their new daily routine will be, and how drop off and pick up will go. • Practicing washing your hands together and applying hand sanitizer as this will be an even bigger part of their daily routine. • Talking to them about the positives of attending school – however that looks – emphasizing the importance of flexibility. • Helping your child identify strategies to remain healthy, which can provide a sense of control and reduce feelings of anxiety. • Encouraging your child to vocalize their thoughts and feelings by checking in with them regularly. • Reminding your child and yourself, their school will do everything it can to keep everyone safe. Visit www.parentslead.org for this information and more. Parents Lead, a North Dakota program administered by the department’s Behavioral Health Division, provides parents and caregivers a variety of tools and resources to support them in creating a safe environment for their children that promotes behavioral health. This is
especially important throughout all the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Another source of support during the pandemic continues to be Project Renew, a partnership between the department, the division and Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota. It provides services for North Dakotans to help them understand physical and emotional reactions to COVID-19, develop and improve coping strategies, review options and connect with other individuals and agencies that may be of assistance. The Project Renew hotline can be reached at 701-223-1510 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday. Individuals can also send an email to renew@lssnd. org. Through Project Renew, Lutheran Social Services is offering a free, online group discussion about navigating the parenting challenges created by the pandemic titled, “Parenting in a Pandemic” on Aug. 13, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. CT. Visit Lutheran Social Services’ Facebook page for more information and to register at https://www.facebook. com/LutheranSocialServicesND/. The division is responsible for reviewing and identifying service needs and activities in the state’s behavioral health system to ensure health and safety, access to services and quality services. It also establishes quality assurance standards for the licensure of substance use disorder program services and facilities and provides policy leadership in partnership with public and private entities.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
The Al Capone plot thickens… Having visited the tunnels of Moose Jaw, in Saskatchewan, there is a lot of lore about Al Capone being in Moose Jaw during U.S. prohibition days. There’s also obscure history suggesting that Capone spent some time in Minot, but nobody seems to be able to confirm that. But all you have to do is connect the dots, or in this case, the steel rail, to find out that Al Capone did indeed visit Minot on numerous occasions. In fact, the Mob Museum in Las Vegas has information that Capone, and/or Capone’s henchmen, escorted railcar loads of rum and beer from Moose Jaw to Minot then on to Minneapolis and Chicago. When we think about rum runners in the ‘20s, we think about a Model T crossing the border with a back seat full of contraband. Capone was a lot more sophisticated than that and used the Soo Line Railroad which is now Canadian Pacific. There’s a lot more digging to do on this topic regarding Capone’s dealings in the Magic City, but in scratching the surface, there is information to indicate Capone had connections in Minot. Gord Steinke is a news anchor on Global TV in Edmonton. He wrote a book called “Crossing the Line” about Capone. Nearly the entire book is about Capone’s presence in Moose Jaw and southern Saskatchewan. Little, if any,
Letter to the Editor: As we combat COVID-19 in North Dakota, there has never been a better time to prevent young people from starting to use e-cigarettes and to encourage existing users to quit. Current research indicates e-cigarette use or vaping suppresses immune function in the lungs and can cause inflammation of the airways, which heightens the risk of developing lung damage. Suppressed immunity and lung damage are factors associated with many COVID-19 cases. Therefore, it’s more important than ever for our policymakers to take strong action to reduce e-cigarette use. Despite the state’s laws prohibiting minors from purchasing and using e-cigarettes, an astonishing 33.1% of North Dakota high school students use e-cigarettes according to 2019 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So how do young people illegally acquire e-cigarettes and what are the ways to prevent initiation and promote cessation? While research and data are still developing, many other states answering these same questions have implemented two methods that have worked for traditional tobacco products – regulation and taxation. Unlike traditional tobacco product manufacturers and distributors, the state does not currently license e-cigarette manufacturers and distributors. By simply licensing e-cigarette manufacturers and distributers, these enti-
is confirmation or verification that he did bring booze into North Dakota, but, apparently, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had a pretty thin presence on the border in the ‘20s so it was easy for Capone to get railcars full of booze through North Portal and into North Dakota. In researching Capone’s link between Moose Jaw and Minot, it was discovered that Capone had befriended some people in Bienfait, Saskatchewan, a small town that’s 20 miles north of Columbus, N.D. Bienfait, of course, is on the CP Rail before it routes to Estevan and then Moose Jaw. That leads one to believe that if Capone was making friends, or buying friends, in small towns in Saskatchewan, he very well could have been doing it in North Dakota as well. And if you look at a map of North Dakota, you’ll see CP Rail running from Portal to Hankinson with a lot of little towns in between. There are plenty just from the 81mile stretch from the border down to Minot: Portal, Flaxton, Bowbells, Kenmare, Donnybrook, Carpio, Foxholm, Burlington and Minot. The real intrigue is to find out if Capone had friends in any of these North Dakota communities like he did in Bienfait. My place to begin was at the Mob Museum, but like Steinke, their information is largely about Capone in Moose Jaw. It’s actually quite interesting because Moose Jaw has made the tunnels under the city a tourism destination. The tunnels were built by Chinese immigrants in the 1880s to hide and avoid taxes, but the lore includes Capone using them in the 1920s to

ties would be held more accountable for their actions. Likewise, North Dakota does not currently tax e-cigarette users as it does traditional tobacco product users. Twenty-six states currently tax users of e-cigarettes according to Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. While we have definitive proof that taxation of traditional tobacco products reduces tobacco use and reduces health care costs, similar proof is not yet available for e-cigarettes. However, we have encouraging preliminary data showing a strong correlation between an increase in tobacco taxes and decrease in e-cigarette use. According to a July 2020 memo prepared by North Dakota’s Legislative Council entitled Impact of Taxation of the Use of Vapor Products, 4 out of 5 states that increased their tax on e-cigarettes saw a decrease in e-cigarette use. With the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in North Dakota, it’s more important than ever to curb the e-cigarette epidemic. As such, our policymakers should take a hard look at licensing e-cigarette manufacturers and distributors in North Dakota and taxing the users of these harmful tobacco products.

conceal his Prohibition liquor before it got shipped stateside. Supposedly, there are similar tunnels under Minot. If so, Minot hasn’t turned the tourism dollar that Moose Jaw has been doing. When you talk to people in Kenmare about Capone possibly being there, you get a “oh, I suppose that’s possible.” But nobody knows for sure and there’s nothing written in local history. But there’s CP rail connecting all these communities, and that’s the common thread here. Capone, sometimes called Scarface by the press, was a prominent gangster from Chicago and became “boss” of the Chicago Outfit. Capone’s goons were part of the gang warfare in north Chicago, and he wanted to consolidate control of bootlegging, gambling and prostitution by eliminating his rivals. The gang violence reached its bloody climax in a garage on the north side of Chicago on Feb. 14, 1929, when seven men associated with Irish gangster George “Bugs” Moran, one of Capone’s longtime enemies, were shot to death by several men dressed as policemen. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, as it is known, remains an unsolved crime and was never officially linked to Capone, but he was generally considered to have been responsible for the murders. That gives you the idea of how much destructive power this man had. But why Minot, why Moose Jaw, why Bienfait? Were these places to get away and hide from other gangsters, elude police or just make a lot of money?
the most. Once the addict or alcoholic cannot manipulate their loved ones anymore, they typically withdraw from them. The loved one then lives with constant worry and pain from their actions. This includes things like lying, stealing, manipulating, and sometimes even physical abuse. The addict or alcoholic then live with constant guilt that they try and numb with drugs and alcohol. This will cause them to give up hope because they feel as though they can never repair those relationships. I am here to tell you that you can indeed mend them. I myself have, and I watch others rekindle their relationships every day. It starts with the saying “actions speak louder than words”. The biggest factor in repairing these broken relationships is change that they can see and not hear you talk about. Getting treatment and making these positive changes in the way you handle yourself and others is the very start to the journey of repairing relationships with the ones you have hurt. It takes longer for some then others but it is definitely possible.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Wash those hands I'm the proud parent of a highly intelligent and lively soon to be first grader. Kindergarten was rough for us. The reason being that the social butterfly gene has fully emerged in my daughter making playtime and fun more important than numbers and letters. Flash forward to the spring and she did amazingly well, I think, with her focus getting better and everything improving. Then COVID arrived in the state. Literally overnight, myself and the hundreds of thousands of parents and students in the state had to doggy paddle through distance learning. It was rough waters to be sure. School was released on the Ides of March. The state then tossed the idea around of if they would reopen before the end of the school year. We all know that didn't happen, and a lot of faux events of graduation and prom took place. It was an incredibly strange time for the students of 2020. Now those students are eagerly awaiting the return to something normal. However, COVID still reigns. This makes everything education-related complicated. Parents, teachers, administrators, school boards, and teachers' unions have all voiced their
thoughts. Oddly enough, the very level of government that should be speaking loudest and firmest about the 2020-2021 school year is noticeably silent. They had the time, more time than the spring decision, to close the schools, to figure out a way to reopen them. Four pages does not a reopening guidance for schools during a health crisis make. Where were these elected officials over the three months? Elected officials at every level from the top to the legislators have continued to meet and have held meetings over the last few months. Yet the biggest issue facing the state currently is ignored. Will our students, teachers, and staff be safe in these buildings that need updates? This is so much bigger than just is it safe. This is also about cost. Schools depend on local mill levies to operate. Every single school in this state runs on the value of your land and the taxes you pay on it. Public schools are limited to what they can ask for from the taxpayers. Their hands are essentially tied, and their budgets now held hostage by COVID. The cost of education is high. It is going to get a lot higher as COVID shows no signs of ending , leading to the 2020-2021 school year costing us more than just money. Elected leaders at the state level sure know how to wash those hands of theirs.
Report From the Legislature
Rep. David Monson R – District 10 Interim committees are busy winding up our studies and drafting potential bills for the upcoming 2021 session. All interim committee reports will be delivered to the Organizational Session of the ND Legislature on December 1-3. That sounds like a ways away, but it is less than four months with most committees still having at least one more meeting and a few possibly two more. My next Interim Educational Policy Committee meeting is still in the final planning stage with the date probably the end of August or early in September. I am thinking that we will need only one more meeting to finish up our work. Last time we met we had technical difficulties with the live streaming and had to switch committee rooms at the last minute, so it was not live streamed. Since then I have been assured that they have it fixed, and, in fact, several committees have met there and used it successfully since. That means you should be able to watch it from home on your computer if you wish. The K-12 Education Funding Committee will likely be scheduled close to our policy committee meeting date to save travel costs as we are closely related and share some committee members. I had the pleasure of attending the groundbreaking of the new precision ag building at Lake Region State College (LRSC) on July 22. Rep. Damschen and I were invited to share a shovel at the event since we had a lot to do with getting the funding and promoting the building last legislative session. It was named after the late Rep. Curt Hofstad from Devils Lake who was a close friend and colleague of ours and represented District 15 which borders our district. My Education and Environment section of House Appropriations set up a “trigger” within the ND University System (NDUS) budget where the state would kick in $1M if they could raise matching dollars to build it. They raised the money very quickly and already have it scheduled to open by second semester of the ’20‘21 school year. Rep. Hofstad’s widow, Annette, was a moving force in helping to raise their matching funds. The precision ag program at LRSC has been operating out of an old implement building a mile off campus which they have been renting for a number of years. It did not meet their needs plus the rent and utilities were costing the college
enough so that in about five years the new building will pay for itself in money saved. The safety of the students who will not have to cross over Highway 20 to get to class will be another huge advantage to the new building. The precision ag program at LRSC was the first of its kind in the US and still is the premier program in the nation. We are really fortunate to have such a high tech and important program for agriculture within our region. To think it is at a small community college is truly amazing. The Budget section of the ND Legislature has its next meeting on Aug. 13. That will be live streamed and can probably be viewed over our local cable TV as it will be held in the Senate chamber of the ND Capitol. It is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 10:10 a.m. Very few committee members will be in actual attendance for such a short meeting and opt to attend by conference or TEAMS. One of the major items of business is approving or disapproving the CARES money allocated to ND from the Federal government for COVID-19 issues. The NDUS is looking to get another $17.3M mostly for medical and protective gear, cleaning, and air filtration systems at the various campuses in many buildings so classes can begin on time this fall. They have received $44.5M so far, so they expect a total of $61.8M from the CARES money already allocated in the last round from the Federal government. Many other agencies will also be looking to have money from that round of funding approved at our meeting, as well. These funds are only dispersed after the agencies have expended the funds, so it is a reimbursement situation. In other words the work has already been done or is in progress now so the agencies really hope these funds are approved. Otherwise it comes out of their already strained operating budgets. The Higher Education Interim Committee, another interim committee on which I serve, will meet on August 25 at 10:00 a.m. and tentatively run until 5:00 p.m. It will likely be live streamed since the usual committee room is the Roughrider Room in the Capitol if we are not meeting at one of the college campuses. The public will not be able to attend in person due to the COVID-19 issues which is the case for all interim committees during this crazy time, so live streaming is the best we can do for the citizens of ND. If you have input you wish to relay relative to one of my interim committees, you can contact me by email at: dmonson@nd.gov. Our agenda and missions are quite specific to study topics, but we do have some wiggle room to bring up related items of concern.

Next steps for residents that received unsolicited seeds The North Dakota Department of envelope and may be returned with Agriculture (NDDA) is asking state residents who have received unsolicited packages containing seeds from China to take the steps outlined below. Anyone receiving unsolicited seeds in the mail should do the following: • Retain the seeds and packaging, including the mailing label. • Do not plant the seeds. • Place the seeds in a resealable plastic bag if they were opened. • Fill out a survey regarding the seeds. The survey may be found at https://www.nd.gov/ndda/ unsolicitedseeds, or can be mailed to residents who request a prepaid
the seeds. • Send the seeds, packaging and mailing label to the NDDA by utilizing one of the following actions: • Mailing them in at your own expense, or • Requesting a prepaid envelope from the NDDA to send them in. A prepaid envelope may be requested by calling 701-328-4765, emailing doa-phytos@nd.gov or by checking the appropriate box at the end of the online survey. The NDDA will work with the United States Department of Agriculture to identify and destroy the seeds.
With harvest season approaching, farmers should carefully review pre-harvest herbicide applications to ensure compliance with pesticide label directions. “Pre-harvest herbicide applications are invaluable for controlling late-emerging weeds,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “However, both crop buyers and consumers may be concerned about even minute levels being present. By carefully reviewing pre-harvest applications to ensure compliance with pesticide label directions, farmers can minimize pesticide residues and preserve the marketability of their crop.” Complying with pesticide label directions includes: • Making sure the herbicide is labeled for the intended crop, • Applying no earlier than directed, and • Ensuring the pre-harvest interval, or days to harvest requirement, is respected. “Worldwide, North Dakota has long been known for producing high quality cereal grains,” North Dakota Grain Growers Association President Dennis Haugen said. “One way we can maintain that reputation is through carefully using pre-harvest weed control tools.” For grains such as hard red spring wheat, durum and feed bar-
ley, most pre-harvest herbicides may be applied when the grain is mature and at about 30% moisture or less. The pre-harvest intervals are variable depending on the herbicide but range from 3-14 days. The label will provide specific directions. “Buyers of North Dakota’s pulse crops have exacting quality standards,” Northern Pulse Growers Association Executive Director Shannon Berndt said. “To meet these expectations our growers use only registered herbicides and they carefully adhere to label instructions.” Several different pre-harvest active ingredients may be used on pulse crops, but they all have significantly different timings and pre-harvest intervals. Most pulse crops are grown under contract, so consulting with the buyer about approved herbicides is advised. The North Dakota State University 2020 North Dakota Weed Control Guide lists active ingredients appropriate for many different crops and contains tips for application. The guide may be found at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/publications/ crops/north-dakota-weed-controlguide.

Food pantries in North Dakota and northern Minnesota are receiving nearly $124,000 as part of the annual CHS Harvest for Hunger food, funds and grain drive. As food shelves and pantries see increased demand across the country due to COVID-19, this money is being put to use in rural communities where CHS employees and farmer-owners live and work. “Now, more than ever, our local food shelves and food pantries are doing essential work, feeding those in our communities who are struggling,” says Tom Lehar, regional vice president, Northland Region, CHS Country Operations. “I am proud to see how the cooperative system came together to support this campaign, even as we faced unexpected challenges to our usual fundraising efforts due to COVID-19.” Across North Dakota and northern Minnesota, from March 1-20, CHS employees worked with farmers, ranchers, community members and organizations to gather donations through community dinner events, silent auctions, cookoffs and individual contributions, though some planned events were cancelled due to the impact of COVID-19. The Great Plains Food Bank in Fargo will use $56,717 of the total raised to feed children, seniors and working parents in North Dakota and western Minnesota. Since CHS Harvest for Hunger started in 2011, CHS has distributed more than $1.05 million to North Dakota com-
munities through Great Plains Food Bank. This year our local CHS gave over $4000 to be split between the Hope Center in Devils Lake and the Cavalier County Emergency Food Pantry in Langdon. Even though one event was canceled we were still able to raise donations to give to both locations. We are very grateful for those who donated to support the Harvest for Hunger campaign. “This program is really making a difference for food pantries in North Dakota and northern Minnesota as they make sure they have the resources to put missing meals on the table,” Lehar says. This local effort was part of the nationwide annual CHS Harvest for Hunger drive. CHS locations across the United States worked with farmers, ranchers, community organizations, schools and other CHS locations to gather more than $400,000 and 30,858 pounds of food during the drive. “Our farmers and ranchers are feeding the world, and that effort includes feeding those in need in our own communities,” Lehar says. “I encourage others to consider giving to their local food shelves and pantries as well. Their services, especially right now, are vital to the strength of our rural communities.” Since 2011, CHS Country Operations, a division of CHS, the nation’s leading farmer-owned cooperative, has organized the campaign to gather money and food for local and regional food shelves across the

Bertha armyworm:
Early l a r v a l stage of Bertha armyworm (Photo: Corey Stremick)
Mature Bertha armyworm larva (Photo: C a n o l a Council of Canada)
Scout for Bertha armyworms as they are being spotted in fields. The adult moth is about 1½ inches long and mainly grayish-black with a silvery-whitish kidney-shaped spot and with a silvery-whitish fringe on each forewing. Moths emerge from the overwintering pupae in mid-late June and emergence continues through early August. These night fliers are particularly attracted to blooming canola fields for their nectar and egg laying sites. Eggs are laid on the lower side of leaves in clusters of 50-500 eggs in a honeycomb pattern and hatch in about one week. At this point of the crop stage, look for small green caterpillars (1/10th of an inch) with bright yellow bands running on both sides of the body. As the larvae mature they turn brown to velvety black (about 1½ inch long). Larvae often hide underneath leaf litter and clumps of soil during the day, which makes them difficult to see. Larvae develop for six weeks and then drop to the ground in mid to late August to pupate. There is only one generation per year.
CHS distributes nearly $124,000 to North Dakota and northern Minnesota food banks country. With this year’s total, the cooperative has now raised more than $6 million and 4.5 million pounds of food in the 10 years since the campaign was first launched. CHS ag retail locations in North Dakota deliver agronomy, energy, feed and grain products and services to ag producers and other customers as part of CHS Inc., (www. chsinc.com) a leading global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States. Diversified in energy, agronomy, grains and foods, CHS is committed to creating connections to empower agriculture, helping its farmer-owners, customers and other stakeholders grow their businesses through its domestic and global operations. CHS supplies energy, crop nutrients, seed, crop protection products, grain marketing services, production and agricultural services, animal nutrition products, foods and food ingredients, and risk management services. The company operates petroleum refineries and pipelines and manufactures, markets and distributes Cenex® brand refined fuels, lubricants, propane and renewable energy products.

NDSU Extension Notes As the canola plant drops its leaves, the mature larvae (>½ inch) begin to feed directly on the pods which causes economic yield losses and premature shattering. Feeding injury by the mature larvae also accounts for 80 to 90 percent of the plant material consumed during a larvae’s life. Mature larvae will even continue to feed on pods in the swath. Fortunately, populations are kept low during most years due to natural environmental factors like harsh winters and the presence of biological control agents (diseases and parasites). Thresholds would be 18 to 22 larvae per square yard, if leaf feeding is the extent of the damage observed. The key to controlling bertha armyworm is: • Early detection of young larvae about ½ inch long in canola fields by regular scouting. • Determining if fields are above economic thresholds for larvae. • Fields above the economic threshold level should be sprayed once the hatch is complete and just before larvae move to the pods. Apply a well-timed insecticide in late evening when larvae are actively feeding. • Use high volumes of water for good coverage of the dense canola canopy. SCOUTING FOR CLUBROOT OF CANOLA Symptoms of clubroot are most visible during the month of August, and we encourage canola growers in the region to scout their fields for the disease. This is most important in NE North Dakota, where localized infections of clubroot have been confirmed in Cavalier County since 2013. However, all canola growers should be aware of this emerging disease. Where to scout? The pathogen that causes clubroot is soil-borne, and spreads when soil is moved. Commonly, this includes movement by soil on equipment, in flood water and by wind erosion. As a result, clubroot is often first observed in areas where soil is most likely moved into a field, such as a field entrance (from equipment), low spots (from flooding) and shelterbelts (from wind). Although the pathogen can be introduced into any soil, the disease is much more likely to develop and cause yield loss in acidic soils. Consequently, suspicious areas in acidic soils should also be investigated. What to look for? Field symptoms are most pronounced in August as the damaged roots struggle to obtain enough moisture to keep the plant healthy. Damage from clubroot usually is first noticed in clusters of plants in spots or patches in a field (Figure 1).

Photo: Anitha Chirumamilla, NDSU Infected plants often appear stunted and yellowed and the stand may be thin. Roots should be examined in any area suspected of having clubroot. Carefully dig up the roots and examine for noticeably swollen and small club like shaped galls (Figures 2-5). The younger galls may be porous and have cracks and air pockets in them. Older roots will become brittle and may break at the soil line.

Additionally, Drs. Venkata Chapara (Langdon REC) and Luis del Rio (NDSU campus) may be able to identify clubroot using molecular diagnostics and grow out tests from soil samples. Please contact any of us directly for more information (below). What can we do if you have it? Nothing can be done to manage clubroot in the growing season, but it is critical to avoid spreading the disease into new fields. If possible, wash equipment before moving from a field with clubroot into a new field. Similarly, harvest an infected field last, if possible. If you find clubroot, developing a management plan including clubroot resistant varieties and practicing long crop rotation will be important.

Local breastfeeding coalition celebrates first anniversary The Northeast North Dakota Breastfeeding Coalition is celebrating its one year anniversary in August. The Coalition was formed in August of 2019 to help support breastfeeding families in Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier County. There are now 24 members in the coalition representing a number of area communities. Members include health professionals, business people and interested community members. Projects completed the past year included: a survey for breastfeeding moms to see if they had met their breastfeeding goal and if so what they found helpful and if not what they found to be barriers, a booth at the Walsh County Fair and Women’s Event at Park River, and the purchase of a nursing tent to be available at community events. Members share what they or
their organizations are doing to support breastfeeding and continuing education opportunities are noted. Unity is now offering a walk-in Breastfeeding Clinic twice a month which was one of the requests the survey brought to our attention. Workplace support and support groups were also important for breastfeeding success and those projects have been started and will continue in the upcoming year. Membership is free and we typically meet once a month on the third Wednesday of the month from 11:30 am-12:45 pm. A call in number is usually available for those not able to join in person and due to COVID the meeting schedule has changed and has been by phone/Zoom . For meeting /coalition information please contact Carly or Betsy at Walsh County Public Health and WIC at 701-352-5139.

An uptick in self-awareness. Ever growled at an electronic device because it was taking 8 seconds instead of 2 for a website to load? Some stuff you can control. Most stuff you can’t. Failing to distinguish between the two means stress. Changing the unchangeable is unrealistic. How often we overlook the most readily available changeable thing. That would be ourselves. We have a significant degree of control over our thoughts, choices, words, our on-going education, our sources of leisure, etc. To deny that is to deny our freedom. It is very healthy to admit: What can I control? Myself. What can I not control? Just about everything else. I’ve taken this wisdom and ap-

plied it to the Moment of Reckoning that is moving through our nation like a continent-sized earthquake. Certain places, we see massive destruction: flames, blood spilt, toppling statues, etc. Other places, it’s more like deep tremors. An example of the latter would be the space between my ears. Furthering the golf analogy begun last week, I’m trying to keep my eye on the ball. And the ball is white. I’ve set as my August task to examine myself on the issue of white privilege. White privilege is not a label I’ve allowed other people to paste onto me. I’ve looked within. It’s there. First, I admit that the sheer fact of my whiteness is a comfort zone full of advantages that others do not enjoy. It already takes a good dose of freedom to embrace that bit of wisdom. Victor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor, said, “When we can no longer change a situation, we’re challenged to change ourselves.”
That applies to racism. Isn’t that what’s on the table nowadays? The last few months, I’ve become aware of a shift in focus from worrying about fixing others, our nation, to fixing myself. What if we put our energy 95% into making ourselves healthy people and 5% into changing the world? The real foundation for healthy relationships isn’t ‘out there’ but rather deep within. If that’s true and the number one problem in the world is broken relationships, then working on that infra-structure is the real path forward. Is that why Jesus stressed that the Kingdom of God is within (Lk 17:21). When we see ourselves differently, we start looking at the world differently. So, once I’m willing to admit that whiteness in America brings with it unfair privileges, what about me needs to change? That’s the question I’ll be pondering as I move forward.

A Saint’s Shout Out
By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School
The Making of Our COVID-19 Plan We’re already in to August, and that means our back to school planning is in full swing. As you might imagine, we have many extra situations to prepare for this year due to COVID-19. Over the summer I attended a full day of webinars hosted by North Dakota Public Instruction and the North Dakota Department of Health. They provided an 8-hour online training session on how North Dakota schools can work to keep everyone healthy and keep classrooms sanitized. The training reinforced the steps we were already planning at St. Alphonsus: the need for hand washing breaks and keeping social distance to 6-feet, when possible. In North Dakota, masks are recommended in schools but not required by the state. There have been many discussions throughout the Catholic schools of the Fargo Diocese. We meet every other week, and we are working together to support each other and share ideas from around the state. Our local school board had a 4-hour meeting, where many scenarios were discussed. We have our plans in place for the logistics within our school environment, and we have back-up plans ready in case we have a student or staff
member who tests positive for COVID-19. Should distance learning need to be put in place, we will be using Google Classroom. When we’re back in school, we ask that parents conduct health screenings at home before school to make sure children aren’t showing any signs or symptoms of sickness. We recommend taking temperatures at home, if possible, with 100.4 being the cutoff to be allowed in school. We will start the school year off by taking temperature checks at the door. Parents and guardians are asked to watch for signs on our doors with new information and watch for school communication in case directives change. The biggest take away from our back to school plan is, even though difficult decisions need to be made, we’re trying to do what’s best for our students and our staff. I am extremely confident in my staff, and I know we can handle this together. We are trying our best to work through a tough situation and still tap into that back to school excitement. We miss all of our students very much and cannot wait to see them all on the first day of school. We look forward to reconnecting with students and families and welcoming new faces to the St. Alphonsus family. Get ready for those first day of school photos! Carrie Hope is the principal at St. Alphonsus School. St. Alphonsus School is celebrating its 100th school year.
Brush with the Bunch
Susan Danielson joined the Brush Bunch in 2015, and we enjoy her company for about a half a year as she and her husband, Brian, are snowbirds and go south for the winter. Susan is shown working on a glue gun painting; the demonstration was introduced to us by Laurel Brusseau a while back. You outline your picture and cover the highlights with hot glue. After cooling you may begin painting the background, saving the hot glue areas to be painted later. In this case, Susan is painting an angel. You may not see it now, but it did turn out very nicely later. Frankie and Carolyn (Laurel‘s sister) are seen in the background. Our Brush Bunch has been meeting, sort of, as we are still a bit unorganized and behind schedule. We have been brown-bagging our dinner and using social distancing. When will we be back to normal? Our new “Words of Wisdom“ come from Laurel, Old Farmer‘s advice: “It don‘t take a big person to carry a grudge.“ Have a good day and God Bless. by Leo Beauchamp

A Super’s Take on Education
By Daren Christianson Superintendent Langdon Area School Langdon Area School District Return to Learning Plan The district has completed some preliminary surveys, and we would like to thank all who responded. The Return to Learning Plan and the Distance Learning Plan are posted on the website and have been posted on Facebook. Please take time to read the plans and understand the sections that directly affect you. Both plans were approved by the school board at the August 3rd school board meeting with the understanding that they are living documents that may require adjustments as circumstances change and develop. These plans were developed through a committee process involving parents, students, teachers, board members, County Health
authorities, staff, and administration. • School will open for face-toface instruction as scheduled on August 20, 2020. • Parents are responsible for doing a personal health assessment of their child prior to sending them to school. There is a checklist attached to the Return to Learning Plan. • All students and staff will need a clean face covering with them daily to be used in accordance with the plan. • School-provided bussing will run with assigned seating and face coverings required. It is important that rural families communicate with bussing representatives concerning their intent to ride or not to ride. (Dan 256-3500) We will place all rural families on the route to ensure access as things change throughout the year. • Students are encouraged to bring their own computer to use in
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Back to School Time! Back to school has always been an exciting time of year for most people. The crisp morning fall air that turns into warmer days. The excitement of seeing friends, classmates, and school personnel you didn’t get to see all or most of summer break. The newness of clothing, shoes, and school supplies if new ones are needed. All of these things bring excitement and anticipation. But this year is a little different scenario for heading back to school. There may be apprehension, uncertainty, and trepidation because there is still a pandemic in the world, and all people are still trying to figure out how to navigate within the times. Each person and family have reacted differently to the current situation, and that’s okay. What matters is that we all try to adjust to how others are feeling and be understanding of their needs and wants as well as our own. The following are just a few tips and tricks to try to help you transition to a new school year during uncertain times: • Prepare your child for mask wearing by practicing at home for bits of time. If your child is all of a sudden expected to wear a mask at school and has never done so before, it may be a little nerve wracking or uncomfortable for them. Practice makes permanent. • Talk about the pandemic and the reasons for doing what needs to be done during these times. Family Science Specialists at NDSU Extension have put together a guide called Talking to Children About Pandemics found at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/publications/kids-family/talking-to-children-about-pandemics. It is full of useful information that may help you guide your child and help both you and your child adjust to the changes of the new school year. • Have your child change clothes and wash their hands as soon as they get into the house. It used to be common practice that a child had both school clothes and play/work clothes. They would always change after they got home from school. Starting this practice again will help reduce the amount of exposure to germs your child may be carrying on their clothing. • Have your child with longer hair wear it in a braid or other way that doesn’t allow it to flow freely during school hours. Hair has a lot of surface area and can carry germs because of the possible exposure. Wearing it up will also keep it out of the child’s face and reduce the chances that the child will touch their face to get it out of their eyes and mouth. • Designate a specific place that is easily disinfected for backpacks and outerwear once they get into the home. A tiled surface that can be washed, a hook on a wall that is somewhat out of the way, or a closet
floor that can be easily sprayed with disinfectant are just a few places that could be a good place to try. • Have a few masks on hand for each child so that they can be easily washed in the evening. Washing can be done in the sink with a little laundry detergent or even dish soap. A bleach solution can also be easily used in a sink or a bucket of some kind. Masks dry quickly if hung up or laid out overnight. If cost for extra masks is a concern, there are possible resources available to you through local organizations. • Stress the importance of hand washing, mask wearing, and not touching the face. Practice these things at home. Hand washing is often referred to as the number one way to help prevent the spread of infection (of any disease). It’s a good practice to have in general. Mask wearing and not touching the face are habits that can easily be established if practiced and reminders are given. • Get a lanyard with a clip at the end for your child to use so the mask doesn’t sit on surfaces or get dropped on the floor. Just attach to the elastic side band, and your child won’t even know it’s there most of the time. If they are in a situation where they no longer need the mask to be worn, they can just clip the other side elastic to the clip, and leave the mask around their neck, awaiting the next use. It’s best to teach them to make sure the side that touches their face should be inside and that they should not reverse the mask, even if the mask is reversible. • Be the example. If the parent acts as if this is how it is supposed to go, then often times their child will go along with it. If the parent complains or refuses to participate, then their child will do the same. In order to help all children to be safer at school, the school will have certain regulations that your child will have to follow. It’s best to help your child believe that you are also on board. It will make the situation smoother for your child and a lot less confusing. • Show grace to others. The school personnel will be doing their best with what has been presented to them. There is a vast array of how families feel about the whole situation. Your child may be apprehensive or confused or having feelings they don’t understand. You may be apprehensive about what to do

class as needed. • Schedules may be adjusted to accommodate the needs to fulfill the plan. We understand that some parents may decide not to have their children return to a face-to-face learning environment. It is important that you contact your building principal if you are not returning to face-to-face instruction so appropriate arrangements can be made. K-6 Mr. Hetler 701-256-3270, 7-12 Mr. Askvig 701-256-5291. Each school building will be developing plans that are site-specific following the parameters set in the board-approved Return to Learning Plan. These building-specific plans will differ from each other due to the populations that they serve and the special circumstances each population brings into the building. Take care, be safe and stay healthy.
NDSU Extension Notes
for your family and stressed about school, the pandemic, and your career. There is truly no right or wrong way to feel, and people are trying to make the best decisions possible. It’s important to show understanding for yourself and others during this stressful time and be supportive of those feelings and decisions. • Be flexible. Things will more than likely have to change a time or two during this school year, and it is important that you try to adjust to the change in a smooth way. It will help not only you but your child as well. • Try to keep your going backto-school traditions intact. If you normally have a shopping day, try having a shopping day online if you don’t feel comfortable taking your child to the stores. It can still be fun and special. If you normally have a movie and supper out, still try having a special family movie (at home) and supper. I have a friend that still doesn’t feel comfortable taking her children to a restaurant, so she and her husband made a menu, acted as the servers, and treated their kids to an at-home restaurant. The kids paid in homemade tickets of some kind, I believe. They had a blast. Back-to-school fun can still be done, it just might look a little different this year. We are here at NDSU Extension to help in any way we can. If you have questions or concerns about how to discuss going back to school with your child, please refer to the Talking to Children About Pandemics publication offered by NDSU Extension (https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/publications/kids-family/talking-to-children-about-pandemics), or feel free to call our NDSU Extension office in Cavalier County at 2562560, or email me at katie.d.henry@ ndsu.edu. One thing that is great about children is that they are resilient. They have the ability to bounce back quicker from things or adjust to change better than adults tend to be able to. A lot of how resilient they are, though, depends on how the adults around them treat situations. If we live by example, the children in our lives are more likely to adapt accordingly. This, too, shall pass or change, and our children will have their very own “walking uphill both ways for 12 miles in knee-deep snow to get to school” kind of story.

Langdon Eagles play well, finish second at State B Babe Ruth Tourney By JAKE KULLAND BOXSCORE Republican Sports Writer The Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth baseball team entered the State B Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament in Kindred July 31 - Aug. 4 for the fourth year in a row. In a deep tournament run that saw them win three games and lose two, the Eagles finished second and ended their season with a record of 13-4. Langdon beat Hazen in the opening round 12-3, beat Cassleton 7-5 in a winner's bracket game, lost to LaMoure in another winner's bracket contest 5-3, beat Kindred 11-7 in a loser out game then lost again to LaMoure 10-1 in the title game. It was a very good tournament performance for the Eagles, who will lose five players: Carter Tetrault, Jack Romfo, Brady Regner, Markus Kingzett and Gage Goodman, who all move up to 19U ball next season. Here is a recap of all five Eagles games at State: Langdon 12, Hazen 3 In their opening game, the Eagles faced off against the Lumberkings, who are coached by Langdon native and former Eagles Babe Ruth player Grant Ellingson. Grant is a high school social studies teacher in Hazen. After falling behind 1-0 in the first inning, Langdon broke through with six runs in the fifth inning on hits from Markus Kingzett, Mason Romfo and Brady Regner. The Eagles added two more runs in the sixth on doubles by Jack Romfo and Gage Goodman then added two more runs in the seventh on a RBI ground out by Mason Romfo and another run batted in on Jack Romfo's third double of the game. The Eagles also put two runs up in the fourth. Goodman started the game on the mound before giving way to Carter Tetrault in the fourth, and Markus Kingzett finished the game off with three strikeouts in the seventh. Langdon 7, Cassleton 5 The Eagles fought through some wildness by their pitchers to beat the Black Stockings on Aug. 1. Langdon pitchers collectively walked 13 batters in the game, but they got key outs when they needed them. Langdon jumped out to a 3-0 lead with a run in the first on a RBI single by Jack Romfo then two more runs in the third on hits from Markus Kingzett and Carter Tetrault. After Cassleton took a 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth, the Eagles responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning on five hits. Tetrault led off with a single, followed by a run scoring double by Jack Romfo and clutch hits by Kaden Hoffman and Nic and Markus Kingzett. Markus Kingzett relieved Brady Regner in the third inning, and he pitched into the seventh inning, striking out eight batters while walking seven. Mason Romfo came on to get the last out and pick up a save. LaMoure 5, Langdon 3 After winning their first two games, the Eagles put themselves in position to advance to the championship game when they met the A's on Aug. 2. Langdon opened the scoring in the first inning when Gage Goodman brought home Carter Tetrault with a base hit. But LaMoure would build a 5-1 lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning. The Eagles would get a run back in the bottom of the inning when Brady Regner singled to bring in Mason Romfo followed by another run in the sixth frame on hits by Regner and Markus Kingzett. The game would be a contest of frustration for Langdon, however. They would leave 15 runners on base and were robbed of game tying hits by A's centerfielder Max Musland in the sixth and shortstop Corban Potts to end the game in the seventh, both on miraculous circus catches. Tetrault would start the game and go the first five innings fol-

Langdon 11, Kindred 7 After the heartbreaker to the A's, Langdon was forced to play in a loser out game versus Kindred on Aug. 3. This game would start with Kindred putting up six runs in the first inning compared to one for the Eagles, when Markus Kingzett walked and later scored. But Langdon began to mount a huge comeback in the second inning with two runs scoring on a Jack Romfo single followed by four more in the third on a two run Romfo double. Kingzett, Carter Tetrault and Romfo all singled to start the fifth inning for another run. Langdon would add two insurance runs in the seventh on hits by Tetrault and Mason Romfo then a run scoring double by Brady Regner, his second of the game. On the mound, Gage Goodman came on in relief to start the second inning, and all he did was pitch the best game of his career, allowing just one run in six innings while striking out five batters and walking just one. LaMoure 10, Langdon 1 (Championship Game) In the title game the Eagles just seemed to run out of gas. LaMoure jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and never let it go. Langdon's only run came in the fourth, when Brady Regner scored unearned. The only hit of the game for Langdon came from Mason Romfo, Regner, and Gage Goodman. It would be the only time Langdon didn't reach 10 hits in a game the entire tourney. Mason Romfo pitched for Langdon until the fifth inning when Markus Kingzett finished up. The Eagles vowed not to lose by the 10 run rule, and they got a little bit of satisfaction not letting that happen.
12U Langdon baseball earns 4th place at state Congratulations to the Langdon Red Sox 12U baseball team for earning 4th place in the ND 12U State B Cal Ripken Baseball Tournament. The tournament was held at the Park River Baseball Complex Thursday, July 30, through Saturday, August 1. The Red Sox began Thursday with a big win over Watford City 19-4. The day ended with an 8-inning thriller when Langdon came back from a 5-1 deficit and beat Burlington 6-5 clinching a spot in the semifinals on Saturday. Friday, Langdon took on Thompson, the team that would eventually win the tournament. The Red Sox
fought hard to close the gap after a tough first inning left them trailing 0-11. They slowly chipped away coming up only 3 short with a final score of 10-13. The semi-finals were full of tough competition with Langdon ending the first game at a 0-9 loss against Park River. The day closed for the Red Sox with the consolation game against Velva. It was a close fight in every inning ending with Velva 4 and Langdon 3. A big thank you to Coach Kade Pengilly and several parents that coached the 12U boys through a great season.

Jake’s take on sports
Guidelines are here for fans and games for Fall Sports in Langdon The Cardinals Sports Co-op Committee with representatives from Langdon, Edmore and Munich in attendance. Their job was to set guidelines for how winter sports will run for Cardinals home games this fall. While everything with is still very fluid with COVID-19, here are some of the highlights of the initial fall sports plan: Fans - Each player and coach of a Cardinals team participating in an event will receive four tickets to presell at a flat rate of $8 each. There will be no season passes except for students. With North Dakota being in the Green Phase of reopening, that means that no more than 500 people can attend a public event. For opposing teams, they will each be sent 100 tickets to also presell to their fans. Students will be allowed to attend games with a pass. Fans
attending the games are required to wear a mask into the buildings and recommended to wear one anywhere on school property. Games - The schedule for Cardinals football, volleyball and cross country teams will remain the same with these changes. There will not any regular season volleyball tournaments held, but the Lady Cards volleyball team will stay play all of their regular season matches. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will play their complete varsity schedule, including non-conference contests, with their first game at Northern Cass on Aug. 21. Guidelines for Cross Country have not been completely released yet, but except less teams at tourneys there, and also staggered start times. Practices - Practice starting dates have not changed, with football and cross country beginning Aug. 10, and volleyball Aug. 17. Broadcasts - With a cap on the number of fans and crowds at games, all Cardinals home football and volleyball games will broadcast LIVE on Cardinal Vision, and
can also be streamed live through the NFHS Network. Along with home games, most road games will be broadcast on KNDK-FM, or 95-7 The Rock Farm, and online through myborderland.com. Please remember that these guidelines and regulations have been put in place to keep schools open and to keep athletes and students as healthy.

Covid-19 Vet Craft Kit Free to Quarantined Vets Veterans confined to their homes because they’ve tested positive for COVID-19 can get a free quarantine kit thanks to a partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the nonprofit Help Heal Veterans. The kits are designed to keep the vets occupied while they are isolated in their homes or a health or long-term care facility, according to a release from the nonprofit. “Lockdown equals depression and anxiety,” a news release from the department says. “Heal Vets has increased therapy kit production for those military/veteran personnel in quarantine and is shipping as many pallets of therapeutic craft kits as quickly as possible to VA centers across the nation that are being used in the quarantine efforts.” Since the start of the pandemic in March, Help Heal Veterans has provided nearly 50,000 of the kits to more than 90 VA medical facilities, according to a VA release. “ The
kits contain craft supplies, reading and educational materials as well as items that veterans can use to make their own face masks. Under the partnership, supplies for the kits are given to local groups, who then assemble and distribute the kits. The nonprofit added that the kits are also “utilized in restoring coordination and impaired motor skills, improving concentration or relieving symptoms of depression and PTSD.” To learn more, click here and check out https://www. healvets.org/how-we-heal/healvets-craft-kits.

By Rita Maisel
The Classes of 1934 The recent death of Kathryn Marcotte Shablow marks the end of a long line of people who graduated from both St. Alphonsus and Langdon High School in 1934 and took a special interest in keeping me advised where classmates were living when we did the directory in 1976. Their help was also valuable when the all-school reunions came around and the earlier listings had to be updated. There were 10 members of the 1934 class who got their diplomas from St. Alphonsus and 38 whose 1934 diplomas were issued from Langdon High School. Some might have been the first group of “yo-yo kids” – those who bounced back and forth between the two schools for sports and curriculum reasons. Kathryn would have been a person who merited a story on her own, but she was always willing to share the spotlight. In fact, as members of the two classes reached their days at Wheatland and Maple Manor, she was one of the ones who told me their classes had the most frequent reunions of any class since they shared meals and coffee hours on a regular basis. At 103 (soon slated to have another birthday), Kathryn may have been the only classmate to reach that age, but we
do know others had reached 100 or more. For the last several years she has been the oldest graduate living in Langdon. A few alumni living elsewhere did reach 104 or 105 years of age. We begin the story of the 48 graduates of 1934 with the St. Alphonsus group and, where possible, some notes on their lives: Florence Bimler Stein, Patricia Burke Carney, Lorraine Diemert Porter, and Edna Geisen Rose -who was one of Kathryn’s best friends until her death in 2019. A former teacher, a farm wife and mother, Edna was the second from this class to spend her long life in Cavalier County. Other classmates were Wendell Gunville, Marie Lothspeick Feckley, and Kathryn Marcotte, who came to North Dakota with her family in 1920 and attended grade school with Edna as well as high school. Kathryn held several jobs in Langdon beginning with working in Boyd’s Store and then as secretary/office manager for Pete Antony at the Federal Land Office. After that agency possibly changed its name and location, she went to work with Carl Wild at the Cavalier REA, retiring after her marriage to Frank Shablow - who had a long career in the North Dakota legislature. Also graduating members of this class were Dorothy Perius Williams, William Shelley and Rosalia Waltz Moos. Rosie became the third member of this class to spend her life in the Langdon area working for several years at the Langdon Court-

house then as a farmer’s wife and eventually joining her classmates in living at Wheatland and later Maple Manor. I believe she also reached the 100 mark! The larger group receiving their diplomas from LHS included Frances Anderson, Lois Barker MacLachlan (one note says they had a store in Langdon at one time), Philip Biewer (had an army career), Clifford Braaten, Florence Brudahl, John Everson (d. 1941), Erwald Fink, Jean Forrest Samz, Gordon Gilbertson, Elizabeth Harwood, Robert Harwood (there is a memory that Beth and Bob were twins whose father had a radio shop and that family members returned for Langdon’s Centennial), Dean Hunter (son of a Presbyterian pastor), and Zelpha Irwin Stalker Malo (who with her sister and cousins came to Langdon for high school, living with their grandmother and remained here for most of her life and was active in many community projects, the curling club and in later years riding her bicycle to the Presbyterian Church to practice on the organ. Zelpha, along with her piano and maybe her saxophone, spent her last years at Maple Manor as well). Irene Iverson came to Langdon and lived with the Balgaard family (relatives) while attending school at Langdon. During the Depression she worked at the courthouse and other government offices before marrying Ike Welsh. Grandsons and great-grandchildren still farm their land. Irene also spent time

at Maple Manor and contributed much to previous Long Ago columns. Following Irene in the list of graduates was Alfreda Klein Peterson and then Stanley Koehmstedt, who spent most of his school days at St. Alphonsus - which did not have a gymnasium until one was constructed in 1934--after their class had graduated. Stanley transferred and was chosen for Art Robertson’s 1933-34 LHS Basketball team. We learned more of the story of that team a year ago when the daughter of a team member came searching for family history. One player shown on the picture in the centennial book died in a car accident, and another was badly injured so those two did not graduate. Stanley went on to farm for many years, and, yes, he was part of the group who spent time together at Maple Manor. Margaret Koehn worked her way through high school as a waitress at Jack Manson’s cafe and later married Manson. They moved to California, and her married name in later years was Dobbs. Clarence Krueger, also from Dresden, graduated in 1934 and died in 1936. Others in the class were Thelma Larson, Emil Lebrun (another former St. Alphonsus student who was pictured as part of the LHS basketball team, he later made his home in Las Vegas), Mary Lott, Alma Oakland (married Kathryn’s brother, Patrick, and they lived in Walhalla), and then came the Olsons. Effie Olson Bingenheimer and her brother, Martin Olson, were both members of this class as were Elmer and Regner Olson (brothers) who were their first cousins. It would be 1973 before five Olsons graduated at the same time. Regner was the only one of the 1934 group born in Norway and was a baby when his parents came to America. With large families, many boys did not get to go to high school so Regner went off to work for a few years. The Depression brought lay-offs everywhere, and eventually he came back to North Dakota where he worked for Bill Porter’s Implement agency. Then a job opened up at the school. Regner could do janitorial work at night and attend classes. Later he would tell about the operettas the school produced. Olsons liked to sing, and he was chosen for the productions. He even had a chance to sing with a cute little Soli girl from Vang. They got married in 1934 – the same year both he and Myrtle graduated from high school. Other classmates included Albertine Otteson Reynolds, Isabel Price Santana (who became a librarian), Frances Rassmusson Waind (who
settled in Kansas), and then came Tom Ridley. What most people remember about Tom is that he married Rhoda Elenbaum, and they turned their farm three miles east of Langdon into a beautiful example of rural living. Tom and a classmate joined the Navy in 1934 and came home to take up farming as a fulltime occupation. He must have spent winters learning all about wheat because he grew so many prize winning crops that news headline began to refer to him as the Wheat King. If there was an award for wheat, he received it, and worked with the formation of the North Dakota Wheat Commission. The one headline not found was that they had named a variety of wheat named for him. Remaining classmates were Lowell Rude (who settled in Michigan), Alice Samuelson Cooper, Myrtle Soli (Mrs. Regner Olson), Claire Stromberg Collins, Alice Swanson, Helen Walz Bauer, Marion Whalen Denman, and Robert Wilson. Bob Wilson was a member of that legendary basketball team and, also, played on independent teams along with others in later years and then came the war. Bob enlisted in the Navy along with Tom Ridley in August 1934 and with the war he re-enlisted and was stationed in the Pacific. He married a North Dakota wife in 1939 and early on she was able to join him at various stations. His detailed story is in the Langdon Centennial book and well worth reading. He was a prisoner of the Japanese for over 40 months and released in September of 1945. After the war he remained with the Navy until his retirement. Graduating from the basketball team that year were John Everson, Stanley Koehmstedt, Emil Lebrun and Bob Wilson. Underclassmen on that same team included James Bain (who became a doctor in later years) and Eddie Kiley (who worked for years at the Cavalier County Republican, led the Langdon School Board for a time and was one of the founders of Quality Printing) plus younger members of the Murie, Olson and Moore families who added excitement to games some of us still remember. The old Langdon gym vanished when a new one was built by WPA funding in the late 1930s and some games in that interval for both school and independent teams centered on the St. Alphonsus gym this team did not play in as high school students. Special thanks to the classes of 1934 for leaving us so many good memories.
