This is the final article covering the NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center’s 2021 field Day held on July 22.

Dr. Andrew Friskop is an Extension Plant Pathologist based out of NDSU in Fargo specializing in the management and education of small grain diseases.

Friskop believes relative humidity influences the majority of small grain diseases.

He watches for dew points and how long we have those dew points.

Even with dew points, the next day might see 90 degrees and wind which takes care of a lot of the moisture.

Green stated that much of the seed planted in trials this year sat in the ground for a while before there was enough moisture to emerge. Some sites will have poor performing trials.

Frost Fire Park Completes Downhill Mountain Bike Trails CAFS now Cavalier Space Force Station 3-year construction project comes to an end, producing 8 world-class trails

Frost Fire Park in northeast North Dakota is celebrating the completion of its downhill mountain bike trail system.

The weekend of July 30 was the first time the public could experience all eight mountain bike trails. It marks an end to the construction phase of a 3-year, $500,000 project.

Frost Fire Park contracted Trail Source, LLC based in Rosemount, Minn., to construct the four remaining trails this summer. The company specializes in building sustainable and environmentally friendly trails and structures that allow people to experience and enjoy nature.

The trails vary in difficulty for riders and have adaptations, such as being able to take a jump or ride around it, based on comfort and skill levels. Trails have twists and turns, bridges, and jumps built out of a base of rocks. One of the

trails features a retired ski/snowboard trail groomer, adding more personality and reminding people of Frost Fire Park’s winter activities.

“These trails are the real deal!” said Patty Gorder, general manager at Frost Fire Park. “The excitement around our downhill mountain bike offerings has built all summer, and we’re ex-

cited to open the rest of the trails and get riders out here to experience them.”

Gorder said downhill mountain bike riders get excited about new places to explore and will often drive hours to experience new trails.

“We can’t wait to welcome people who have never been to Frost Fire Park!” Gorder said. “We also want our regular customers to know we can help them try out something new, and our trails are doable for people who want to try something new or bring the family out.”

Hours of Operation: Downhill mountain ike trails and chair lift open 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Saturdays and Noon – 6 p.m. Sundays.

Rentals: Frost Fire Park has a fleet of high-end mountain bikes available to reserve; call 701-549-3600 to reserve a bike. Riders may bring their own bikes. Helmets are required.

Frost Fire Park is located seven miles west of scenic Walhalcont. on page 3

By Jared Entzi Republican Writer On July 30, the Cavalier Air Force Station became apart of a new branch – the United States Space Force. The site will be re-designated as the Cavalier Space Force Station and will continue its current mission in tracking earth-orbiting objects. Cavalier join-

ing the space force is the first of many steps North Dakota will take with its relationship between the state and newest branch of the military.

“Cavalier will now be able to use it’s capabilities to effectively monitor our adversaries’ space activities and ensure we keep our country safe,” said Senator Kevin Cramer.

The Cavalier Air Force station has been an important part of America’s space operations which played a large role

in why it was picked to join the space force. 10th Space Warning Squadraon of Space Delta 4 are currently in command of the facility.

“The re-designation is part of our broader efforts to build a central role for North Dakota as we move into this new chapter in the race in space, building on the low-earth or-

bit satellite mission and the UAS laser communications project that we’ve worked to bring to Grand Forks,” ND Senator Hoeven said.

The Cavalier Space Force station houses an AN/FPQ16 PARCS solid state phased array radar system. PARCS is capable of spotting an object the size of a basketball at 2000 miles. It analyzes more than 20,000 tracks per day from satellites to space debris.

CCMH named to Top 20 Critical Access Hospital list

By Linda Timian Republican Writer

Cavalier County Memorial Hospital in Langdon was named one of the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) for Quality in the country in 2020.

The Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals, including CCMH, scored best among critical access hospitals as determined

by The Chartis Center for Rural Health for Quality. The rankings were announced by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA).

The Top 20 Critical Access Hospital “winners” are those hospitals who have achieved success in the overall performance based on a composite rating from eight indices of strength: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge and financial efficiency. This group was selected from The Chartis Center for Rural Health’s 2020 Top 100 CAH list.

Those hospitals that have

been recognized as Top 20 Critical Access Hospital “best practice recipients” have achieved success in one of two key areas of performance: Quality index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank across the indicators of Hospital Compare Process of Care measures.

Patient perspective index: A rating of hospital performance aggregated and ranked across 10 domains of the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS).

“CCMH is proud of the efforts of its physicians and staff who have contributed to our hospital achieving this designation,” said Jeff Stanley, CEO of CCMH. “Our results as a top performer in quality means our community can count on us to deliver the services they need now and in the future.”

Dakota Gardener: Great garlic!

By Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks County For the past two years, I have tried growing garlic in my garden.

The first year, I had several challenges. The fall was incredibly wet and cold. I also underestimated the amount competition from self-seeded dill plants. I harvested two really small heads of garlic.

I was not discouraged. Remember, a good gardener will kill a plant at least three times and keep trying!

My second attempt was a winner. I harvested my garlic this past weekend and was not disappointed.

Garlic is a hardy perennial member of the onion family. Garlic differs from the onion in that it produces a cluster of cloves that makes up the bulb, rather than one large bulb. Garlic also has flat leaves rather than the round, hollow leaves like an onion.

We have two main types of garlic: hardneck and softneck. Hardneck garlic is the hardiest type for

us and, as the name implies, it has a stiff neck. Hardneck garlic varieties to try for our area are ‘Music,’ ‘German Extra Hardy,’ ‘Russian Red,’ ‘German Red’ and ‘Spanish Roja.’

Softneck garlic is the kind we typically buy in the grocery store and it doesn’t grow well in our area.

Planting requires some preparation because garlic needs full sun and well-drained soil. You also will want to work in 3 pounds of 10-1010 fertilizer per 100 square feet before planting.

Cloves are planted in late September or early October. They should be spaced 1 to 3 inches apart and planted 4 inches deep. Cloves will produce roots and the tops also will begin sprouting before the soil freezes.

Garlic should be covered with a mulch layer to protect it from low winter temperatures and soil temperature fluctuations. Typically, cover garlic with a 4-inch layer of clean straw.

Garlic produces thin foliage that is not a good competitor with

weeds, so be prepared to do some weeding. The winter mulch will help with weed suppression during the growing season.

Garlic is harvested in mid to late August or when the foliage starts to turn yellow. To prevent any damage, gently dig the tops rather than pulling. Place the entire plant, top and all, on a screen in a well-ventilated location at room temperature for about two weeks. When the plants have dried down, remove the tops about an inch above the bulb.

I am saving the largest cloves from my crop to plant later this fall but I can’t wait to use the smaller cloves in stir-fries and vinaigrettes.

Whether you shop local, order online or ask another gardener to share, I hope you try planting garlic your garden this fall. Happy gardening!

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

A subject of profound sorrow My sister contacted me recently to tell me that a good friend of ours from the early 1980s had died, and she wondered if I remembered him.

Of course, I did, but it had been years since I had seen him. Still, when you make friends with someone, that bond never really disappears because there are too many shared memories, even if 40 years have passed.

It’s just one in a string of deaths recently of friends and acquaintances from my high school days and my early 20s. You wonder sometimes why something like this happens... and, lately, so often? You wonder if it could have been different. You wonder about the family and their sorrow.

Then, you begin to think of the memories you shared, and in a strange way, that has kind of been haunting me and making me feel pretty good at the same time. Haunting me because it isn’t one, or even two, old friends. It’s many, and any logical mind will consider the fact that we are too young for this to be happening to us.

As any pastor or priest will tell you, this can happen at any time, and it’s God’s will that our friend has been called to heaven. Yes, of course, but it still doesn’t change the fact that there are a lot of memories from all those years ago, and they all come crashing back in a sort of deja vu. We borrowed each other’s money, tools, and music; we went on trips together; we hung out together; we played baseball together; and we talked about girls and went on double dates together.

Another “discovery” happened in recent weeks of the death of a friend from long ago and far away. When I was in high school, I had a pen pal who invited me to visit her family in Montreal. It happened to be 1976, and the Olympics were going on in Montreal. I took the offer, but I can tell you that the memories of that trip weren’t so much the Olympics as the friends I made during the three weeks I was there. Lately, I had been thinking a lot about that and had considered writing a book about the experience, primarily because I’m English and from the prairie, and everyone I met except one, was French and from the big city. But they took me in as one

of their own, and that’s where the memories are.

Through an Internet search, I found out my pen pal, Muriel Hooper, had passed away in 2010 at the age of 49. She is buried in Woodstock, Ontario. As I think about it all these years later, this 14-year-old girl was the glue that kept a bunch of French-Canadian teenagers together in Montreal and in the small town of Dunham, Quebec. I can remember her dad watching Montreal Expos games on French TV; her brother, Billy, and I raided an apple orchard during Hurricane Belle; and I remember vividly how Muriel spoke English and French fluently.

It was one of those snapshots in time that I didn’t want to end. It was so much fun; I didn’t want to go back to reality in North Dakota. I did, and eventually lost track of Muriel all these years. She got married, had two kids, including a daughter who is now a very successful real estate agent in Woodstock. I also found out that Billy still lives in Montreal, but I can’t find contact information for him.

I was able to find another friend from that summer in Dunham. His name is David Jenne, and he still lives in Dunham. He became a good friend because his English was so good, and we understood each other very well.

Despite what I discovered, I may still consider chronicling this time hack because since I found out that Muriel’s passing was confirmed, all these memories from the summer of 1976 are suddenly so vivid in my mind. It’s as if they happened yesterday, not 45 years ago. I even remember a moment in which Muriel’s mother, Georgina, drove us all up to Mount Royal, the highest point in Montreal, to see the city lit up at night. It was quite spectacular.

Book, manuscript, journal, whatever it is, I feel I have to log these memories because as time goes on, I’m going to forget a lot of those finite details. In a strange way, I think that Muriel is encouraging me now to write about my experience in Montreal and Dunham in 1976. There are few times, sans my wedding and a trip to Australia, that I can remember so well I can almost relive it.

Regardless, when friends pass, we must honor them in some way.

We can go to their funeral, we can send cards and flowers, we can talk to other friends about the deceased, or we can write about them. That’s what I’m doing in this space, and it may be just the start.

“What Were They Thinking?’

The Senate’s Check on Judicial Nominations The U.S. Senate’s constitutional role in the appointment process for federal judges empowers it to thwart presidential nominations to the bench, including those nominated to the Supreme Court. More than one president in our history has felt the stinging rejection of a prospective member of the High Court.

Article II, section of the Constitution provides that the president “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of Senate,” shall appoint “Judges of the supreme court.” The “appointment power” is a shared power, jointly exercised by the president and the Senate, and thus a vital cornerstone of the doctrine of checks and balances.

At the outset of the founding, it was assumed by political actors and commentators that the Senate would likely defer to the president’s judgment unless there were clear reasons why a nominee should be defeated. In Federalist No. 76, Alexander Hamilton explained the Senate’s likely deference: “As their dissent might cast a kind of stigma upon the individual rejected, and might have the appearance of a reflection upon the judgment of the Chief magistrate, it is not likely that their sanction would often be refused, where there were not special and strong reasons for the refusal.”

Justice Joseph Story, one of the greatest scholars ever to hold a seat on the Supreme Court, observed in his magisterial three volume commentary on the Constitution: “The more common error (if there shall be any) will be too great a facility to yield to the executive wishes, as a means of personal, or popular failure.”

An initial disposition of deference to the president, like an initial judgment on any other issue in life, however, does not necessarily lead to an ultimate approval. The Senate, historically, has exercised a vigorous review of the qualifications of

By Lloyd Omdahl Term limits will not greatly impact the state legislature if the constitutional provision being proposed by initiative petition is approved by the voters in 2022.

Called “ultraconservative” by the media, the 42-member petitioning committee must expect some policy changes in North Dakota as a reward for their efforts. What those policies may be in an already conservative state have not been disclosed.

Unless the public at large is hurting, change is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. The only time change happened swiftly in North

presidential nominees to the Supreme Court, which has led it to defeat roughly one out of every five of the president’s choices. Close scrutiny of the qualifications, skills, temperament, experience and expertise of a nominee who, if approved by the Senate, will enjoy what is, for all intents and purposes, a lifetime appointment.

How could it be otherwise? If members of the Senate behaved like a rubber stamp, there would be no value in adding the Senate to the appointment power, no expected benefit derived from the wisdom, insights, values and judgment of a body whose advice and consent to the president’s nomination power was viewed by the framers of the Constitution as a huge improvement over the English King’s sole authority to appoint people to judgeships. Senators, like presidents, are expected to bring to bear their own independent judgment of the nominees’ political, judicial and constitutional philosophies, a duty particularly important when the balance of the Supreme Court is at stake.

Senate consideration and occasional rejection of controversial presidential nominees to the Court reflects politics and partisanship, as well as the purported qualifications of the candidate. History records a checkered record: some controversial nominees have been ultimately approved after a bitter fight, while others were doomed, seemingly from the start.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson nominated Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court. Although regarded as one of the nation’s very best attorneys, Brandeis was controversial, not merely because he was a leading progressive voice on issue of social justice but because he was Jewish at a time when anti-semitism was pervasive. His nomination was bitterly contested and lasted for four months before he was confirmed by the Senate on a 47 to 22 vote. By all accounts, Brandeis went on to become one of the most influential members of the Supreme Court in American history.

Seven decades later, President Ronald Reagan nominated Robert Bork, a prominent judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of appeals, a former Yale law school scholar and professor, and an influential conservative voice. President Reagan exalted Judge Bork’s personal and

political beliefs in nominating him to the Court, but told the Senate that it should look only at Bork’s professional qualifications.

The Senate, controlled by Democrats, did not share Reagan’s double standard and believed that the Senate, like the president, could take account not only of Bork’s record, but also his personal and political values. Bork’s defeat, by a vote of 58-42, clearly did reflect the partisan politics and values of Democratic members of the Senate, but also his lengthy resume of speeches and writings in which he registered objections to landmark Supreme Court opinions that expanded the rights and liberties of Americans.

Bork’s criticisms, for example, of Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 decision in which the Court struck down segregation in public schools, and his rejection of a constitutional right to privacy, as set forth in the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut, provided his critics with more than sufficient ammunition to defeat his nomination to the Court. Bork, himself, later admitted that his long list of controversial writings meant that, unlike judicial nominees since, he could not avoid questions about his judicial and constitutional philosophy.

Judge Bork’s defeat was not entirely attributable to his conservative values. Anthony Kennedy, nominated to the Supreme Court vacancy after the rejection of Bork, was approved unanimously, 97-0.

Kennedy was a well-known conservative, but did not have Bork’s long record of scholarly writings, which could be picked apart by the Senate.

The Senate’s constitutional duty to appraise the qualifications of Supreme Court nominees was an invaluable addition to the appointment power. While its judgment is always subject to criticism, as is the president’s in nominating men and women to the Court, history will record that the advice and consent clause has served the nation well.

Dakota was when farmers revolted 100 years ago by forming to Nonpartisan League to fight Minneapolis exploitation.

Governors, Republicans and Democrats alike, have come into office with high hopes and expectations only to be stonewalled by fragmented state and local governments. It takes the effort of a mountain to produce a mole hill.

While I am still undecided how to vote on term limits, I have learned from experience that the legislature is in a failsafe freefall that cannot be changed by a simple measure approved by the people.

When the 4-year term for members of the North Dakota House of Representatives was proposed, I eagerly voted for it, thinking that 4-year terms would give legislators enough courage to get us out of our frontier rut. Actually 4-year terms did more damage than good.

First of all, it did not improve the nature of our policies. Second, the 4-year terms were used by the legislature to make re-election easier.

They decided that it would be beneficial to the political parties to have all legislators from a district run as a “team”.

Not even considered was the idea of dividing each senate district into two house districts, with candidates running in alternate years.

The “team” concept prevented closer representation of the people, important in a state with districts kept large to preserve the “team”.

Then when we look at the gerrymandering of the legislative seats, we could conclude that the mind of present legislators has been to preserve their re-election rather than better represent the people.

If the 42-member committee proposing the term limits had thought out their options they would have

realized that their goal, whatever it may be, could be achieved by reducing terms of the house members from 4-year to the old 2-year terms.

Then the whole house would be up for grabs every two years.

The proposal now being circulated would give every legislator another eight years before being impacted by term limits. In the year 2030, the terms of present legislators would be terminated. So petition sponsors would have to wait eight years to grabs a number of seats.

Now every legislator won’t stay for the whole eight years of grace because elections for legislators would continue to be held and result in some change. But new legislators would be absorbed slowly by the legislative culture.

Will the 8-year limit change the way legislators think about policy?

Will it make them more creative or more timid?

Some social observers have noted that when frugal people become wealthy many continue in be frugal. A poll of royalty beneficiaries in western North Dakota would give us a few facts upon which to estimate the behavior of legislators under term limits. Their old habits may not be changed.

At the same time, we should note the wisdom of a little elderly lady gathered in a crowd around a pedestrian killed while crossing a busy street. “Give him an enema!

Give him an enema!” she shouted to which a bystander said “He’s dead, it won’t help.” “Well, it won’t hurt,” she reasoned. So maybe term limits wouldn’t hurt.

At any rate, the sponsors should not expect too much.

Cavalier County Republican

As drought persists, Burgum waives hours of service for haulers of livestock, hay and water Gov. Doug Burgum signed an executive order waiving hours of service restrictions for drivers of commercial vehicles transporting hay, water and livestock to help livestock producers battling extreme drought conditions across North Dakota.

Drought conditions continue to worsen across North Dakota, with the latest U.S. Drought Monitor rating 14% of North Dakota in exceptional drought, 46% in extreme drought, 38% in severe drought and 2% in moderate drought. The National Weather Service predicts drought will persist through August and into the fall.

Livestock producers running short on water and feed have been forced to sell off parts of their herds or bring in supplemental supplies, including from out of state, requiring commercial truck drivers to move hay and water in significantly greater volumes across North Dakota.

“Ensuring that supplemental water and feed can be delivered in a timely fashion is critical for North Dakota ranchers struggling with shortages of both due to devastating drought,” Burgum said. “With no relief from extremely dry conditions in sight, waiving the hours of service will allow commercial haulers to move the additional food and water that livestock producers need to maintain their herds and make it easier for ranchers to move their herds.”

The order, issued in consultation with state Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, will remain in effect for 30 days. All road safety and vehicle compliance regulations still apply. The executive order serves as a permit and must be carried in vehicles operating under the hours of service waiver. A copy of the order can be found on the Governor’s Office website here.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Keep Canning Safe My family and I were driving to a destination last week, and there was an old, abandoned farmstead that called to me. It was one of those places that still have the small house, barn, outhouse, windmill, and outbuildings all standing, but there was no paint left, the road going in was overgrown with grass, and the place had a sad feel to it like it had been lonely for longer than it had been loved. Whenever I see one of these places, there is a feeling I get that yearns to take me back to the time where the place was loved and taken care of. There is almost a movie in my mind that can see the people working through times of prosper and hardship. Because of the age and size of the buildings, it’s likely that the family lived off of the land for the most part and put backbreaking work into their livelihood with only weekly or even monthly trips to town for those things that they couldn’t provide for themselves off of the giving land. There was probably a team of horses for helping with work, as well as a cow for milk, pigs for butchering, and chickens for eggs. The garden was probably well tended, and the children probably cuddled kittens in the hayloft of the small barn when the mousers had a new batch of the soft little bundles of joy. Those types of places call to me.

One of the thoughts that always crosses my mind at this point is the amount of work that was put into everyday living. All of the family members had specific jobs they were responsible for, and each member contributed to not only livelihood but also the necessities for living. The buildings were typically built by the hands of the people who were going to live in the house, sometimes with the help of family and friends. Food had to be preserved for the long winter months, especially in this area, and that included drying foods, canning, and preparing the root cellar for the cold storage items - a lot of work but a necessity at the time.

A lot of families have continued

the yearly food storage in the fall for the long winter ahead, though it may not be out of necessity anymore. There is something satisfying about knowing that we grew or preserved our own food, and garden fresh always tastes best, even if canned or frozen. Sometimes the techniques that are used are done because it’s what our mothers and fathers have taught us, and their mothers and fathers taught them, as did theirs through the generations.

We need to keep in mind that we are no longer living in the homes like the farmstead I passed the other day. We have modern conveniences, and there is research-based knowledge that has helped us understand how to safely can, dry, and freeze foods. It is absolutely essential that we use methods that help keep us safe and not just ways that “we have always done and nothing bad has happened before.”

Here are some reminders to help you during this canning season: Pressure Canning: • the only safe way recommended for canning low acid foods (oven canning, dishwasher canning, bathtub canning, microwave canning, dry canning, etc. are all UNSAFE ways to can- just because something is on the internet or your family has always done it this way, doesn’t mean it is safe) • must be done for all low acid foods to ensure food safety – the only way to destroy bacteria like Clostridium botulinum (botulism), which is potentially fatal • low acid foods include: meats, seafood, poultry, ALL fresh vegetables, combination foods (example: soup) • be sure to check your pressure gauge at our office to ensure your gauge is accurate by setting up an appointment (256-2560) •be sure to follow recommendations for pressure canning found at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation or https://nchfp.uga.edu/ Water-bath Canning: •can be used for acidic foods • a little simpler than pressure canning, but follow the procedures and times recommended at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation or https://nchfp.uga.edu/ • acidic foods include: fruits, pickles, sauerkraut, jams and jellies, marmalades and fruit butters/

NDSU Extension Notes

spreads • tomatoes can be canned this way with the addition of acidity - use 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice or ½ teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes If you decide you don’t want to can but you still want to preserve your fruits and vegetables, try drying or freezing instead.

Drying: • easiest to use a food dehydrator, but oven can be used as well • follow guidelines found at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation/drying or https://nchfp.uga.edu/ • fruits, vegetables, and herbs can all be dried for later use • often easier to store than freezing Freezing: • fairly simple to do but needs freezer space • of all preservation methods, freezing typically maintains the most nutrients • no special equipment required • most foods can be frozen • use techniques found at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation/freezing or https://nchfp.uga.edu/ • usually only requires: -preparing the produce -blanching to inactivate enzymes (recommended for better food quality) -a quick cool down in ice/water bath to stop cooking process -packaging in freezer safe containers, with removal of air for best quality We have a lot of resources on our website https://www.ndsu.edu/ agriculture/extension about canning and freezing. There are publications like our new “Jar It Right!

Choosing and Using Canning Jars” (FN2027) and “Put a Lid on It! Best Practices for Using Closures for Home-based Canning” (FN2028) that are fresh off the presses. Even if you don’t use our information, please use the Nation Center for Home Food Preservation resources to help you with your canning techniques and recipes. Our goal is to help you have a quality product while protecting those you love.

NDSU Extension Notes Controlling Broadleaf Weeds in Small Grains Stubble Small grain harvest is underway in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. Some small grain fields have broadleaf and grass weed escapes; weeds coexisting with small grains due to dry conditions affecting small grain growth and development (Image 1). Small grains did not out compete broadleaf weeds in 2021.

We suggest you WAIT to till fields following wheat harvest.

Dry soils will make tillage much more difficult as compared to tillage after a rainfall event. Moreover, insects and rodents forage on crop and weed seeds, which are a source for their energy. University research reports greater than 5% per day loss of weed seeds, and total losses ranging between 20% to 90%, when weed seeds remain on the soil surface. Tillage after harvest greatly reduces predation of weed seeds since predators prefer not to dig for seeds.

We suggest waiting ten to fourteen days to till after harvest, or until waterhemp or kochia is approximately 4-inch tall (Image 2).

We know that glyphosate alone does not provide control of glyphosate resistant waterhemp or kochia.

Field research to evaluate waterhemp control from mixtures with glyphosate was conducted in August and September 2020 in wheat stubble (Peters TJ and Lystad AL. 2021. Waterhemp control in small grains stubble. Sugarbeet Res. and Ext. Rep.51:38-39). (https:// w w w. s b re b . o rg / w p - c o n t e n t / uploads/2021/04/2020-full-book. pdf).

We observed 90% waterhemp control from Roundup PowerMax at 32 fl oz/A plus Sharpen (saflufenacil) at 1 fl oz/A with Prefer 90 NIS at 0.25 % v/v plus N-Pak AMS at 2.5% v/v, 6 days after treatment (DAT). At 22 DAT, there was no statistical difference between Roundup mixtures with Sharpen or Roundup and 2,4-D at 64 fl oz/A with Prefer 90 NIS at 0.25 % v/v plus N-Pak AMS at 2.5% v/v. Please be aware of crop rotation restrictions! Sharpen has a 4-month crop rotation restriction between application and sugarbeet planting; total months when soils are unfrozen. Sharpen is

degraded in soil by microbes.

Soil moisture, especially in the surface layer, is lacking in 2021 due to our drought conditions. Thus, it is not clear how much microbial activity might be occurring in soils.

We believe Sharpen for fall broadleaf control might be a risky proposition, especially in fields to be planted to sunflower, drybean, sugarbeet, and potato in the spring of 2022. Therefore, Roundup PowerMax plus 2,4-D probably is a better option for waterhemp and kochia control following wheat harvest.

Gramoxone (paraquat) was not an entry in the 2020 experiment but may be an alternative to programs with crop rotation restrictions. Apply Gramoxone SL at 1.3 pt/A (3 lb gallon formulation) or 2 pt/A (2 lb gallon formulation) with non-ionic surfactant at 2 pt per acre in at least 15 gpa water carrier when broadleaf weeds are less than 4- to 6-inches tall. We observed improved control of broadleaves greater than 6-inches tall when 2,4-D is mixed with paraquat. We have also observed improved control from early evening application as there is some paraquat translocation in plants from late afternoon applications. Finally, please be respectful of neighbors’ sensitive crops especially when conditions are breezy.

United Communications fights summer donation drop by hosting blood drive with Vitalant United Communications is hosting a blood drive with Vitalant on Wednesday, August 18 from 12:306:00 p.m. to help ensure a safe blood supply in our community during the summer when blood donations traditionally drop significantly.

With the hopes of recruiting 48 people to donate blood, Vitalant encourages anyone feeling well and healthy to make their appointment for the blood drive. First time donors are always welcome, too!

Blood donations fall by about 40 percent during the summer months while the need for blood increases.

Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood by calling Mikan at 256-5156, at www.bloodhero.com or by calling (877)25-VITAL. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative

donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases.

With your help, Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. Vitalant relies on 250 people to donate blood each day to ensure the needs of our local hospitals are met. There is no substitute for human blood, so volunteer blood donors are vital to ensure a safe blood supply for our community.

The blood donation process takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Fast-Track Health History the day they donate on www.vitalant.org/ health.

The Road Last night was our three-inch rain. Thanks, Lord!

“The wild and windy night that the rain washed away / Has left a pool of tears crying for the day / Why leave me standing here, let me know the way…”

When I wonder what the way forward is supposed to be, I relocate gratitude’s path meandering through my soul like a mountain stream often hidden. Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday; it’s a lifestyle.

Grateful people sleep better and have healthier hearts and brains while living a pay-it-forward attitude. Thanks for what? Need a little help counting the ways? Two weird suggestions: Look at the fields ripe for harvest. Crops grow. You can drive

CHURCH DIRECTORY GOD FORGIVES. LET HIM.

Feeling guilty? Many people do. Reasons range from broken homes to unbroken habits. Whatever the cause, it’s an ugly feeling.

Guilt is both the fact of having done wrong and the feeling of blame for doing it. It’s worst when the way you live leaves you empty, frustrated, and filled with regret, but there is a solution.

Face the fact and remember God forgives. Then let him!

around and see their progress, but who sees the actual growth? We forget to thank God for this stuff that escapes our notice. First suggestion, take a sec to consider one of any countless invisible realities that sustain you in this very moment.

Two, how about your own ignorance? Who thanks God for that?

Play a little mind game with me.

Let’s say Jesus’ Kingdom is 2,000 years old. How much longer does it have to grow? Scientists tell us Earth has another 1.75 billion years left to be an inhabitable planet. Jesus didn’t give a lot of marching orders for the future outside of “Stay awake. Be ready.” For how long?

Would it be outlandish to think we could go on another 50,000 years or way further? Is shedding the Roman Empire, the fragmenting of Europe and the Middle East into multiple Christianities and the newborn (1910) ecumenical movement simply the seed of the Kingdom throwing off its original husk? We don’t know. And that’s the point.

Another thing we don’t know is all the Kingdom owes to the land. Seeds draw nutrients from the soil. The Earth is not the King-

dom, but the Kingdom feeds off the Earth. For instance, we tend to think the Kingdom barely exists in China, and yet, if we Christians were to suddenly shed every tie our lives have to China, we’d find our churches, not to mention our homes, in a sorry state.

Can we give thanks for all those non-Christian realities that support us, nourish us, and make living the Kingdom possible by absorbing their nutrients and drawing them into its mission?

Anyway, as Sir Paul sang, “Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried / Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried / And still they lead me back to the long and winding road / You left me standing here a long, long time ago / Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to your door." In a 1990s biography, McCartney said The Long and Winding Road was “all about the unattainable; the door you never quite reach, the road you never get to the end of.” Might that road be a trail of endless thanks and that door be the one between prayers uttered and Jesus’ ultimate prayer fulfilled, “that all may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you” (Jn 17:21)?

Brush with the Bunch

The Pembina County Fair was held July 8-10 at Hamilton, but you all know about that. Were you also aware that Fair #128 makes it the longest running county fair in the state of North Dakota? Quite impressive. The Brush Bunch has been a supporter of the county fair for several years and has been no stranger in displaying their art. In 2018, Sylvia Moore showed her People‘s Choice Award at that year‘s Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale, Bomrod T&T, a painting of a traveling peddler who is remembered by many in the area. On October 10, 2018, Sylvia was also asked to paint a plywood representing the fair to include the 4-H program for the year 2018. Also representing the Brush Bunch in 2019, Leona Schneider entered and won on several photos and paintings.

Then the infamous year of 2020 - there was no fair and no entries. In 2021, Leona entered a total of eight photos and two paintings. She won an Award of Merit for her photo entitled “Burst of Color-4th of July“; 1st Premium photos for the following: Walla Theater, Pembina Gorge, Hanks Corner, Darling Bridge, Spectacular rays; and a 1st Premium for her painting „Mister Cardinal“. She also received a 1st Premium for her painting „Swalltail Butterfly“. NOW, let me blow my own horn. I entered two oil paintings, shown is my 1st place winner on the right “Hungry Meadowlark“ and my 2nd Premium winner “Berry Hunting“ on the left. We continue meeting every Tuesday from 10 until 4, and we welcome visitors; at this time we welcome Mary Lafferty who is spending her afternoons with us. She impressed us all by some of her drawings. At dinner Paula served a delicious cake- thanks, Paula. We continue working, socializing and enjoying each other. From “Just for Laughs“: Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 is the new midnight!

God Bless, and enjoy living in the Smoky Mountains!

Un-named Rooster Chronicles

by Heather Duerre of Walhalla I had a dream the other night about the un-named rooster. I hate to use the word dream in the same sentence as the un-named rooster, so I will call it a vison instead. Anyways, this vision played out eerily similar to the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral. I could hear the music in the background…you know the tune that every good western plays when a gunfight is about to go down.

Hardly anyone actually knows the name of that tune, but we all can hear it as we picture two cowboys staring each other down waiting for the first draw. Anyways, as the music played, I found myself standing in a dusty desert setting. Standing 10 feet away from me was the un-named rooster. I felt confident as I stared him down, because I was the Wyatt Earp of this story, and he was the Billy Clanton.

The only backup I had was my trusty friend Doc Holliday aka my plastic rake. My fingers started to twitch like most cowboys when they are about to draw their weapon, but to be honest, my fingers were twitching because of this rare tremor disorder I have. Either way, I think the twitch-

Senior Menu

ing made the un-named rooster nervous as if I could draw my weapon at any moment. I started to kick up dust because every good gunfight has a cloud of dust surrounding it, and I really wanted this to look legit. Unnamed rooster crowed for his gang to enter the battle scene, but the added chickens didn’t scare me or Doc Holliday. Then Doc Holliday looked at the un-named rooster and said “I’m your huckleberry”…ok, so I actually said it since rakes can’t talk, but I hardly moved my lips when saying it. I’m pretty sure most (if not all) the chickens believed Doc had said it. Un-named rooster squinted his beady little eyes and stared as hard as he could to intimidate me. This is when he would normally draw his gun, but he has no arms, so he raised his wings and puffed out his chest.

This is when my vision stopped, and I came back to reality. I believe this was a warning that a battle bigger than ever is about to go down.

Therefore, I have decided to prepare and train for what could be Armageddon! Mike has agreed to help me, and I will keep you all posted on the progress so that those of you (which I assume is many) also battling a rooster can get helpful pointers. Wish me luck!

Health tip of the week Making your home and vehicles smoke free can reduce secondhand smoke exposure among children and nonsmoking adults. Some studies indicate that these rules can also help smokers quit and can reduce adolescents’ risk of becoming smokers.

Here We Go! If I had to guess, I bet most of you felt like that was the fastest summer on record. Our family certainly made up for missing last summer by packing these last few months with as much fun as humanly possible. Between swimming lessons, STEAM camp, art camp, Missoula Children’s Theater, and backyard play, our hearts are full and so are our photo albums.

We were fortunate enough to celebrate at our wonderful school over the summer as well – we got together to celebrate 100 years of education at St. Alphonsus School!

It is quite a milestone, and we were able to throw quite the celebration.

I want to extend a special thank you to our teachers and staff for work-

4-H Youth Win Awards in Communication Arts at ND State Fair 4-H youth competed in junior or senior individual or team presentations in the 2021 4-H Communication Arts contest at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot on Sunday, July 25. The top presenters received Awards of Excellence.

Cavalier County Prairie Rose 4-H member Kenleigh Nye placed 2nd in the Junior Dramatic Presentation category with her presentation of “It’s a Doll’s Life.” To compete at the state level, she had to qualify at the county level competition held in Langdon on April 28, as well as the district level competition held in Cando on June 3.

4-H Youth Win Awards in Consumer Decision Making at ND State Fair 4-H youth competed in junior or senior individual or team competition in the 2021 4-H Consumer Decision Making contest at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot on Tuesday, July 27. Consumer Decision Making is designed to educate youth about making better consumer choices. Classes in this year’s state competition included bread, pets, and t-shirts in the junior division, and boots, portable speakers, and yogurt in the senior division.

Placing ribbons were given to the

ing so hard to get our school ready to host our big event. They spent hours cleaning and preparing to make sure everything was in place to celebrate. Over the third weekend in July, we welcomed alumni home, and we opened our doors to the community. We hosted an ice cream social, a pig roast, and we were honored to have Bishop John T. Folda here to lead us in mass to celebrate our major milestone.

It was such a joy to connect with so many people who have as many fond memories of attending St. Alphonsus School as I do. Teachers decorated our front entry way with vintage sports and cheerleading uniforms from when St. Alphonsus School had its own teams. Photos and newspaper clippings from years gone by covered the walls in a beautiful display of history. We offered school tours, and it was lovely to overhear memories from former students, remembering teachers they loved or classes they remem-

ber fondly. It was just great to be together, gathering in God’s name to support our wonderful school that has been here for 100 years. We hope to inspire many more years of faith in education in such a wonderful community that supports our mission.

We always welcome tours for our community members, families, and business leaders who either haven’t been to our school or aren’t sure what we have to offer.

Registration is still open for the 2021-2022 school year. We would love to talk to you to see if a St. Alphonsus School education is right for you and your family. I can be reached at the information below. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers to a new school year – here we go!

Carrie Hope is in her 3rd year as principal at St. Alphonsus School.

High School Football season ready to go Aug. 20; New regions and classifications for area teams It is that time of year once again, for high school football to get rolling in North Dakota. There are some new things this year -- While there are still four classes of football, they have renamed them.

What was Class A 11 Man Football, where Langdon-Edmore-Munich, Grafton and Park River play, is now called Class B 11 Man. 9 Man Football, where Cavalier, North Prairie, North Star, and Bottineau play (That's right, Bottineau has been allowed to play 9 Man Football this season), is now called Class B 9 Man. Class A 11 Man is now the class for schools like Devils Lake, Belcourt, and this year, Grand Forks Central and Grand Forks Red River, plus Fargo North, and South. The North Dakota High School Activities Association hopes that putting the two Grand Forks schools and three from Fargo into a smaller Class A division will jump start each program and ultimately make them more competitive. The rest of the bigger North Dakota schools are in the Class AA division. My poor Williston Coyotes will be in the top tier due to their enrollment being too high, and now they get to play three Bismarck schools, plus Fargo Davies and both West Fargo programs. For a team that didn't win

a game last year, it's going to a long year for the Coyotes.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich is also in a new Northeast Region of Class B 11 Man football. Gone are Bottineau, Westhope-Newburg and Rugby, to be replaced by Northern Cass, Thompson and HillsboroCentral Valley, along traditional opponents in Grafton, Park River, Carrington and Harvey-Wells County.

The Cards open their season Aug 20 at home versus Lisbon in a nonconference contest and a rematch of last year's State A Championship Game. Be aware that the game will kick off at 6:00 p.m., an hour earlier than usual. The Cards are coached again this year by Josh Krivarchka, and assisted again by Tim Polanski, Sam Preble and Marty Tetrault.

Cole Darling will once again coach the junior high team, and he will be assisted by Davonte Riley, who is student teaching in Langdon.

Some other changes involving area teams, include Cavalier having a new head coach, as Mitch Greenwood will take over the program for Sandy Laxdal, who has retired, but will still coach Tornadoes girls basketball this winter. Greenwood has been a Cavalier assistant the last couple of season. North Border has decided to move to unsanctioned 6 Man Football this season. I will keep my personal feelings about that decision to myself, but they will play a seven game schedule.

Midway-Minto and Drayton are in that league, but so are Trenton, Drake-Anamoose, Center-Stanton, Mandaree and White Shield. It's

going to be another fun, interesting year for high school football in our region, with some very talented teams.

Volleyball practice to begin Aug. 16 On the heels of every other fall sports getting underway with practice, the last shoe to drop is always girls volleyball, and that will get started on Aug. 16. The LangdonEdmore-Munich Lady Cards will begin their first practice that day, with the high school team going at 8:30 a.m., and the junior high at 1:00 p.m. The Cardinals first action of the season is at a tournament at Northern Cass on Aug. 28, with their first home match coming Sept.

9 versus Thompson. Rich Olson is back coaching the Lady Cards again this year, and he is assisted by Alison Podhrasky, how moves up from the C Squad and taking over for Tami Flink, who has retired after a long and fantastic coaching career.

Jane Hart and Morgan Titus will coach the junior high, with another coach possibly added depending on numbers.

Fall Sports Preview coming next week Another true sign of fall sports is that the annual "Fall Spors Preview" will be in the next issue of the Cavalier County Republican. In it you can find everything you need to know about Cardinals football, volleyball, cross country, and this year, girls golf. Thanks to the sponsors that make the Preview possible.

"See ya!" next week!

“Wow, that’s a lot of food!” my husband commented as the server set a platter in front of me.

We were in a small-town cafe in Minnesota. I ordered the “special.” It included two heaping scoops of mashed potatoes and gravy, at least a cup of corn and enough roast beef to feed my family. A good-sized bun accompanied the meal.

My husband ordered the crispy chicken tortilla roll-up sandwich. He received an equally generous portion of two large halfsandwiches. The sandwich was accompanied by a pile of fries.

The food was homemade and delicious, by the way. If I had been going out to chop wood or throw bales of hay, I might have needed that many calories. After lunch, I was scheduled to stand and answer questions, which taxed my brain but not my muscles.

“Maybe we can take a nap in the car after we eat,” he commented. “We probably need to order small portions as we get older.”

Eating smaller portions was a good idea, actually. If the Robinsons ate this much food at every meal, we probably would need larger clothes and, perhaps, a larger vehicle.

However, my husband ate his entire sandwich and some of my roast beef. Even though I do not like to waste food, I could only eat half of the portion. If I had a cooler, I would have brought home half my food.

I thought I might be nodding off during my own talk. That’s not a good practice.

What are some of the special recommendations for food as we grow older?

The 2020 to 2025 U.S. Dietary Guidelines includes a section about eating as we grow older. I haven’t reached the “older adult” category of 60-plus, but actually, adults of any age could benefit from the

Vitamin B-12 is found in animal-based foods such as meat, milk and eggs, and also in fortified foods such as breakfast cereal.

Some people may need a supplement, but discuss this with a health-care provider.

Stay hydrated with plenty of water and other healthful beverages such as 100% fruit or vegetable juice, milk or alternatives. People ages 60 and older tend to consume less fluid than younger adults because the sense of thirst tends to decrease as we age.

Fruits and vegetables also provide ample fluid. Yes, a moderate amount of coffee and tea counts toward hydration but the caffeine can promote some fluid loss.

Consume water more often than caffeinated beverages.

To learn more about needs as we age, see https://www.myplate.gov/life-stages/ older-adults for a variety of tips about nutrition and physical activity.

lessons in these new guidelines.

The guidelines form the basis for recommendations in all the federal food programs, from child care settings to school lunch to home-delivered meals.

Here are three items from the guidelines related to healthful eating as we age.

We all need to consume enough protein so we can avoid losing lean muscle mass.

By the time people reach 71, many are not consuming enough protein, according to some researchers. Try eating a variety of lean proteins such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, peas and lentils.

Most adults need about 5 to 7 “ounce equivalents” of protein per day, depending on whether we are male or female and our age and activity level. One egg; 1 ounce of meat, poultry or fish; 1/4 cup cooked beans; or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter count as an ounce equivalent.

Be sure to consume enough vitamin B-12. As we grow older, our ability to absorb this nutrient can decline. A deficiency can lead to a type of anemia that requires medical testing. It also leaves you feeling tired.

Here’s some lighter fare to enjoy during the warm summer months. You can choose your favorite protein. Many ready-to-heat grilled meats are available to ease the time involved in preparing this dish.

Summer Grilled Chicken (or Steak) Salad 2 chicken breasts (about 1 lb.), boneless and skinless (or 1 lb. steak) Salt (to taste) Pepper (to taste) Salad base 4 c. chopped romaine lettuce 1 large avocado, peeled and diced 2 c. sliced strawberries 1 c. blueberries 1/4 c. red onions, chopped or sliced 1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved Dressing 3 Tbsp. olive oil (or your favorite oil) 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp. minced garlic 1/4 tsp. Dijon mustard 2 tsp. milk Pinch of salt and pepper Place chicken breasts (or steak) on plate and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat grill to medium heat (approximately 400 F). Place meat on grate over direct heat for four to five minutes each side. Move meat away from the direct heat and cook for an additional five to seven minutes or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 F or the steak reaches 145 F. Remove from grill and let rest at least five minutes. Dice the meat and set aside. Prepare dressing by combining ingredients in small mixing bowl or Mason jar. Whisk or shake well to combine. Assemble salads by evenly dividing lettuce, avocado, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes and onions among four plates.

Add diced chicken breast. Drizzle with dressing.

Makes four servings. Using chicken and no added salt, each serving has 370 calories, 20 grams (g) fat, 29 g protein, 20 g carbohydrate, 7 g fiber and 75 milligrams sodium.

By Rita Maisel

More Olympic Memories Spending as much time as possible trying to catch some of the highlights of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics not happening until 2021, has been an interesting adventure into the way the world has changed with the modern inventions in technology. By the end of the closing ceremony, I was wishing they had a left-over gold medal for the camera people who had not just managed to capture the winners but took us back over the jumps and laps from angles we could never have seen from the stands even if we had been there as competitors. Not only was this a more colorful and artistic event than many in the past, but it set higher goals for athletic events of the future. Those who watched in person or by television had a wider screen view than people like me who watched the condensed version early each morning with a commentator who described events from decades past as well as what was happening before our eyes and did it all in an English accent. If readers were watching on the tiny screens of their cell phones, I suspect some of the panorama might have been missed. I caught only a glimpse of the dance with the spar-

kling hula hoops and red shimmering balls and never did find out what nation trained the dancers or what the story was they were trying to tell; however, it was gorgeous.

A major change from past events were the masks which appeared on everyone: athletes, coaches, presenters, fans and so on in all colors and fabrics and appeared to be worn without the critical comments we have heard from the media in recent weeks.

One comment mentioned was that over 200 nations had participated, each with their own flags. A book I have on the Olympic history lists 113 participating nations in 1988 (some are no longer independent nations) and has stories on the early days when Finland athletes were told to carry the Russian flag, and Irish athletes had to compete under the flag of Great Britain. Many flags evident in 2021 were ones I would not have recognized by the name of their country. Another colorful idea not recalled from earlier but maybe not entirely new were the athletes, both men and women who dyed their hair to match one or more of the colors in their flag.

A second notable trend this year were the hugs. Internationally a way to combat the virus has been NO HUGS. Not only did the families, if attending, hug the athletes but so did their coaches, teammates, any fans who could get close, and the athletes hugged each other. In particular, they jubilantly

hugged their competitors, people of all colors and races, and it seemed anyone they encountered. If there were quarrels, they were generally not on camera. Swimming events in years past usually left the swimmers being helped out of the water and wrapped in towels before being escorted back to a dressing room.

Some of the current group hugged the people they had just lost to and got out of the pool together. That is a change in sportsmanship which is understandable and maybe was not allowed in previous competitions.

Many of the track and field events have been around since the first modern Olympics in 1896, although a few have been discontinued as sports enthusiasm faded or they were deemed too dangerous either for the athletes or for fans nearby. This year I noticed some that I had never heard of before, and one of those was described as bouldering. It was not on the list of official games but a climbing event which might be part of that activity was listed with several medals.

Women in the Olympics have tended to be an after-thought. One source listed the 1964 Tokyo Olympics as the year of the women with a high count of 28% of the athletes as women. Then in 2012, games held in London focused on women athletes. This year the participants were equal in gender terms but 58% of the medals went to women or teams of women. As a result, some of the emphasis on sports changed

to health and mental issues. There were comments about some of the athletes as mothers who juggled newborns and training schedules in ways not noticeable for previous events. These were the women who lined up for Facetime with their little ones at home on another continent. In remembering past Olympics, people often came up with one pretty girl - possibly a gymnast or figure skater - as a favorite athlete while the major athlete heroes were men. The men who won have also earned their glory days, of course, and those are deserved as well.

Sometimes people ask if there is life after the Olympics for the participants, and yes, some do go on to coach or share their experience with a younger generation of athletes. I was a bit surprised to hear some familiar voices in the background for some of the sports. One category happened to be gymnastics with men, I recall, as competing a few decades back still on the microphone cheering for the athlete of the moment even though from a different country.

And then there were the people who gave out the medals, and in keeping with virus regulations they had worked out a system which involved as little touching as possible.

The athletes kept on their masks, and the presenters were sometimes named. The names were familiar, and some I remembered cheering for years and years ago. One I remembered from more than 40 years ago, and the announcer described him as a “heavy-weight”- not in pounds but in sports world experience. At that ceremony there were two older men handing out the medals and flowers. One was Sebastian Coe from Great Britain, who I remember cheering for when he

raced in possibly three consecutive Olympics. He is now the president of the International Olympic Board.

His partner, whose name I did not catch, is black and was one of the runners in an historic race. Coe had specialized in the 800-meter event but lost to another runner from Great Britain in Moscow and then on the first trial failed to qualify for the 1500. Apologizing, he told the world he wanted to win the 1500, and most thought it impossible. Six days later he won in Moscow and then four years later repeated the win in Los Angeles. My memories of those two Olympics are that the US boycotted the Moscow event, and we watched the televised portions on Canadian networks. In 1984 the games were in Los Angeles, and I was on a trip which put us in several different countries during the Olympics. In Germany and Austria, we got snatches of the games at hotels in black and white. In Rome, the television was in color, but the broadcasts came from Monaco, not Italy. None of the events seen on that trip were in English, and the views were often after a long day of sight-seeing in very warm weather. ET was a star of the American broadcasts and not known in Europe at that time, so wherever we went the people would ask about the strange looking man from space.

When writing about Ethel Catherwood last week, I should have also mentioned John Bennett from Grand Forks who won a silver medal in the Olympics in Australia – I think Melbourne. John came quite often to Langdon in the later years of his brother’s life. John was interesting to meet and am sorry I have forgotten his sport. Readers may remember him and the details.

Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring is urging growers across the state to donate extra fruits and vegetables from their harvest this year to help meet the needs of hungry North Dakotans as part of the Hunger Free ND Garden Project, which is marking its 11th year.

“Sadly, in a state that produces so much food, hunger is a problem here,” Goehring said. “We appreciate all the donations that have been given so far this season and welcome additional donations to help us reach our goal of at least two million servings of fresh produce to North Dakota food pantries, shelters and charitable feeding organizations.”

Goehring said information about the Hunger Free ND Garden Project, including a map of drop-off points for produce is available on the North Dakota Department of Agriculture website’s Hunger Free ND Garden Project page or by contacting the department at (701) 3282231, 800-242-7535 or ndda@nd.gov.

“Anyone from backyard gardeners to farmers market vendors to large-scale vegetable growers who grow vegetables and fruits can help out,” Goehring said. “If your local food pantry is not currently on the list, please ask them to consider accepting fresh produce.”

Food pantries that want to be

added to the list may contact Kristine Kostuck, local foods marketing specialist, at 701-328-2659 or krkostuck@nd.gov; or may visit https:// www.nd.gov/ndda/produce-donation-sites.

The Hunger Free ND Garden Project has recorded volunteer donations of more than 3.4 million pounds of fresh produce to food pantries, soup kitchens, and other charitable community programs since the program started in 2010.

The Hunger Free ND Garden Project was started by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) in partnership with the Great Plains Food Bank and ten other organizations across the state.

The statewide project encourages home gardeners and commercial growers to plant extra produce each year for donation to charitable organizations across the state and in their hometown.

Other partners in the project include: NDSU Extension, NDSU Master Gardeners, North Dakota FFA, Dakota College at Bottineau ~ Entrepreneurial Center for Horticulture, Northern Plains Sustainable Ag Society, the North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association, Healthy North Dakota, Creating a Hunger Free ND Coalition, and Pride of Dakota.
