Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889

Dr. Carrie Miranda, soybean breeder at NDSU in Fargo, presented information about new soybean varieties. It takes about 7-10 years to develop new breeds, so the soybean varieties that you will see in the next several years will have been in the works for many years prior by her predecessor, Dr. Ted Helms.

She encouraged farmers to tell her what they need so that the future NDSU varieties continue to meet the needs of the state.

Miranda is excited to incor-

The ribs from the cook off will then be served to everyone at the picnic supper at 6:30. Beverages, burgers and hot dogs will also be provided. Everyone will get a taste of each rib recipe and a chance to vote for their favorite ribs. The final decision lies with Danny, and the winner will be presented with a trophy. There will be a free will donation basket to add to the day’s fundraising.

The money raised through this event goes to the Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders, a local non-profit organization started in 2017 that supports cancer patients residing in Cavalier County. Free will donations are also accepted.

Checks should be made out to the Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders and can be sent or given to Choice Financial Bank in Langdon, Attn: Mickey Timian.

“Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders supported my dad in his cancer journey, and I want to give back to this organization, so I have chosen them to receive the profits,” said Danny.

Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) is a big problem in other soybean producing states and is migrating north. Miranda has NDSU varieties in progress that

Encore! Arts Camp set for Aug. 2-6 at Frost Fire

By Linda Timian Republican Writer Frost Fire will also be hosting “Encore! Arts Camp,” a day camp for students going into grades 3 – 12. It will be held Monday – Friday, August 2-6, from 9:15 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. each day. Campers will be divided into two groups: grades 3-6 and 7-12. Each group will have the opportunity to participate in both visual arts and performing arts activities.

“One of our philosophies at Frost Fire is to reach out to our rural communities and provide opportunities,” said David Paukert, “and one of them is the arts. It’s a part of Frost Fire and the Pembina Gorge’s mission to create and provide these sorts of opportunities.”

Campers will explore visual arts concepts in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, pottery and more.

Instructors are Langdon Area Schools art instructor Mindi Lill and David Paukert, who is

a former Larimore High School art instructor.

Students enrolled in the performing arts classes will be studying creative dramatics, movement, improvisation, and vocal music. Instructors are Misti Koop, Craig Petersen, and his wife, Kristin Larson. Petersen is currently performing professionally in Des Moines, Iowa. Larson is professor and chair of the theater arts department at G r a n d V i e w University in Des Moines.

T h e week will wrap up with an art show and performance showcasing examples of the different things the kids worked on during the week.

The full camp fee (including snacks and a t-shirt) is $130.00, and partial scholarships are available by application. Transportation will be available to students from Walhalla, Langdon, Cavalier, Drayton, St. Thomas, Grafton, Minto, Park River, Edinburg and Neche at cont. on page 3

Langdon City Commissioners meeting held

By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon City Commission met for their scheduled meeting Monday, July 26th. The meeting started with approval of a floor drain to be installed in the fire bay as there is nowhere for water to drain. The contracted workers are local. Sanitation has been short-staffed but have been doing ok getting everything handled. The Activity Center work should be finished by the week of August 16th. The police department would like to add speed meters to show how fast people are going to slow down traffic specifically around places like the day care.

Purchasing meters was tabled to research and see if there are grants available to help pay for

Langdon Area School Board holds meetings The Langdon Area School board met July 20 and 26 with much discussion centering around COVID-19 and what will be protocol this upcoming school year. Steph Welsh, Cavalier County Public Health Nurse, was a visitor at the meeting and expressed that masking works, but masking is what has the biggest push back and might be hard to enforce as the community has been unmasked for the most part. Social distancing and vaccinating have decreased the numbers as well. With the new Delta Variant of COVID-19, the vaccine has proven to be effective without boosters. The Delta Variant is more contagious, and natural immunity from having COVID last season hasn’t decreased the severity of the symptoms and effects, but the vaccine has shown to be a good defense.

Students and staff, if vaccinated, that may be in close contact would not have to quarantine unless they develop symptoms per CDC guidelines. The FDA is looking to approve COVID vaccines that possibly, come November, could be offered to children under 12 years of age.

It was asked if Welsh would come in for a clinic day to give vaccines to staff and students that want to get the vaccine, and she agreed that her office could do that. The state numbers are climbing, and areas the Delta Variant has hit have been severe. The board agreed they want to keep students and staff safe and in school. Supt. Daren Christianson will be meeting

with administration from other schools to see what other areas are implementing as well. Welsh agreed to come back with updates at the next meeting.

Daren Bachman accepted his appointment to be on the board until the next election in June 2022. Dave Hart is now the president with Tiffany Hetletved as vice president.

Seventh grade orientation will be August 18th from 5:006:00 p.m.

The school is still looking for a full-time counselor and may have someone that will come out of retirement to lend a hand.

September 20th the board will meet at 5:00 p.m. rather than 7:00 p.m. and have a retreat to follow so everyone can meet the new educators on staff.

Athletic director Ethen Askvig reported that there’s going to more communication and understanding for students wanting to participate in dual sports or activities creating less pressure on kids. Concerning girls softball- the girls wanting to participate have been fundraising and are around $3,000$4,000, and the board would like to see that hit $15,000 to have a season. The deadline to decide if they are going to have a team is January 1st, so they would like the money to be raised before December 1st.

Once school starts, they want to get a head count of girls wanting to play as well and would like at least 16 participants. If money gets raised but the numbers are not what is needed, it was a thought to possibly co-op with Cavalier. Langdon cannot have a club team as they wouldn’t be able to play any school teams

The auditor’s report was on complaints of several residential homes that have not been taken care of. Pictures were taken Monday morning for proof of what the complaints were about. A note was left in the city drop box with no names, and the city cannot respond when there is no one to respond to.

There is a process of condemnation the city has been working on for a few properties that are not up to par for public safety and sanitation.

Moore Engineering needed an approval signature for demolition of the old water plant which was motioned and approved. The plan is to have a meeting Thursday, July 29th for updates.

The first reading for ordinance 6.0105 was presented by Quentin Wenzel and is as follows: AMENDED ORDINANCE 6.0105 AND NEW ORDINANCES 6.0107 AND 6.0108 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LANGDON, NORTH DAKOTA: 6.0105 WATER, SEWER & GARBAGE MINIMUMS The owner or owners of all real property located within the City of Langdon’s commercial zones shall be required to pay their actual use of water, sewer and garbage service, and the minimum charge by the City, on a sewer and garbage service for each business and/or tenant located on their property.

The owner or owners of the property shall be subject to a minimum fee regardless of the fact of whether or not there is a separate meter or separate sewer hookup for each business and/or tenant located on their property. Furthermore, the owner or owners of the property shall be required to pay a minimum fee for city beautification, streetlights, publication of minutes, mosquito spraying and for city projects as designated by City for each business and/or tenant located on their property. Businesses owned by the same entity, located on the same premises, and sharing the same employees shall not be construed as separate businesses. Also, any business that is located in the same building

as another business and which shares space with another business shall be charged a minimum fee of $25 fee for usage and access to city services. All fees assessed under this ordinance shall be billed to the property owner pursuant to ordinance 6.0107.

6.0107 RATES AND CHARGES – LIABILITY FOR The owner or owners of all real property in the City furnished with garbage, water or sewer service or service line repairs shall be responsible for the payment of any and all such charges and will be billed for such service regardless of who the occupant or tenant may be.

Bids for sidewalks were in with prices for plain, stamped, and colored concrete. The Commission agreed that the price difference to have concrete plain or colored and stamped was not substantial and approved on moving forward to place colored and stamped concrete to match existing sidewalk.

The baby pool was discussed, and the park board will be requested to come visit to discuss what can be done as many individuals and kids would love to use it. The next meeting will be August 9th at 6:00 p.m.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Get a charge out of a road trip Some years ago when the Cenex station in Richardton installed an E-85 pump, it gave me an idea. I decided to take a trip from northwest of Minot to Rapid City and back using only E-85 alcohol fuel. The theory was to fill in Minot then in Richardton. That would take me to Sturgis, where I could fill there, go to Rapid City, and take care of my business. On the return trip, it would get topped off in Sturgis, then a fill in Richardton and again in Minot before taking the short trip home.

That worked. I actually did it a couple of times, then Cenex in Richardton decided to yank its E-85 pump.

Bismarck was the only other place to fill with E-85 at the time and is simply too far from Sturgis to make a straight run without refueling. That challenge is coming back, in a new form that is yet to be fully developed, just like E-85 in the mid ‘90s.

There is a website called Drive Electric North Dakota that points out on a map all 60 locations across the state where you can recharge your electric vehicle. You can move the map around so you can see what’s available in Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. This map is similar to the old E-85 maps that were once available. It shows all level I and II recharging stations, as well as a few high-power stations that have popped up.

According to the map, I could certainly take a trip to Rapid City and back in a fully electric vehicle, with the caveat the route would have to be changed a bit. There are high-power stations all along the route (the ones that recharge your car in 30 minutes), except for a couple of gaps between Dickinson and Bowman and from Bowman to Spearfish, but it can be done. If you’re not in a hurry, it is completely feasible.

Likewise, you could take a trip to Minneapolis and back, Billings and back, Winnipeg and back, Regina and back. The only thing is, you better not be in a hurry. It kind of balances the negative chatter about the short distances an electric vehicle will travel. True, some only take you 200 miles, but if you look at the map on the Drive Electric

North Dakota website, you’ll see there are charging stations now located all across the state that are well within that 200-mile limit.

The greatest open distance on that map is between Grand Forks and Minot, which is 210 miles. Devils Lake, about halfway, is the only major city in North Dakota that doesn’t have a charger, but there is a charger now at McGuire Ford in Rugby, 60 miles east of Minot.

Another is Jamestown to Aberdeen. It’s much shorter, 103 miles, but there aren’t any charging facilities in between. There aren’t any chargers between Minot and Estevan, a total of 118 miles, but community leaders in Kenmare have pondered an installation.

A couple of other items that should be pointed out is you can travel all across the Trans-Canada Highway, a whopping 4,860 miles, from St. John’s Newfoundland to Vancouver, British Columbia, using an all-electric vehicle as charging stations are strategically placed. It’s not like that in the United States - save for Interstate 80 that could take you from Chicago to Denver on the all-electric express. Interstate 40 is similar. It can take you from Fayetteville, N.C., to Bakersfield, Calif., using an all-electric vehicle. That’s a distance of 2,572 miles. Here in North Dakota, as long as the map is accurate, there shouldn’t be any reason why you couldn’t go across the state with an electric vehicle.

The auto companies have toyed with electric vehicles in the past as far back as 1996 with the General Motors EV1. In 2000, an electric Ford Ranger was used in fleet service. Now, they’re becoming the norm. GM wants to phase out internal combustion engines by 2035, and Ford is coming out with a lineup of electric vehicles that will be very competitive for consumers as Ford is looking to gain a market share by pricing their electric F-150 similar to their conventional vehicles. And, for about $600, you can purchase a car charger for your garage so when you leave for work your vehicle, be it a Tesla, Rivian, Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Bolt, will always be fully charged.

When you look at the North Dakota map, Prairie Knights Casino, the Langdon City Park, Totten Trail, New Leipzig RV park, Lake Metigoshe, the International Peace Garden and the New Town Marina are some of the places where you can get a charge. All major cities except Devils Lake have chargers.

Advice and consent: Constitutional duty of the Senate Some readers may remember that their introduction to this ancient phrase came when they picked up a copy of Allen Drury’s 1959 PulitzerPrize winning novel, “Advise and Consent,” which described a passionate and energetic U.S. Senate engulfed in a controversial confirmation hearing for a nominee to be Secretary of State. Others will recall its invocation in the setting of a government class, newspaper article or the nightly news broadcast.

Familiarity aside, “advice and consent” was drawn by the framers of the Constitution from the deep well of English legal history for the purpose of limiting the powers of the president by conferring upon the Senate a full and equal power in the process of making treaties and appointments to office.

Article II, section 2 of the Constitution, as we shall see, employs the phrase, “advice and consent” twice — in a legislative context regarding treaty making and for a councilmanic purpose in the appointment power. The phrase was a term of historic vintage in English history. From the late 17th Century on, no bill could become law without the approval of both the Parliament and the crown.

The approval, or endorsement, was presented as a formula declaring that a bill was enacted or made by the king “by and with the advice and consent” of the two houses of Parliament. To state, “Be it enacted by the King … ” meant that without the king no bill could become law.

After the Glorious Revolution of 1689, however, Parliament became supreme and the king reduced to a ceremonial role. At that point, “By and with the consent” of Parliament became a way of designating the legislative process.

In the deliberations of the Con-

Cavalier County Republican

stitutional Convention, the framers utilized that language to convey the legislative nature of treaty making. Thus, “He shall have Power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties.” The president could not make a treaty by himself, but neither could the Senate. The consent of both was essential to the treaty-making process.

For the past 75 years or so, executive missives from the White House would leave Americans to believe that the treaty-making power was vested solely in the president, and that the Senate was somehow reduced to a pro forma role, a rubber stamp to merely “consent” to treaties proffered by the president. But “advice” connotes more than mere ratification of a decision already made. It emphasizes, rather, participation in deliberation and ongoing conversations, which necessarily meant that the Senate was expected to be fully engaged in the occasionally long process of conceiving, debating and even negotiating a treaty.

No president hoping to win the ultimate support of the Senate could afford to ignore the Senate. Political reality would thus act like gravity and prohibit a president from soaring beyond the intent, preferences and goals of the Senate in the business of making treaties.

The original meaning of “advice and consent,” as applied to the treaty-making clause, meant that it referred, essentially, to a legislative process. This understanding is reflected in Article VI of the Constitution — the Supremacy Clause — which makes the Constitution, laws in pursuance of, and “treaties” the supreme “law” of the land. As John Jay observed in Federalist No. 64, a treaty once made or signed by the president becomes law, that is, treaties “are to have the force of laws.”

Alexander Hamilton, in Federalist No. 75, emphasized the legislative character of treaties, even more forcibly when he wrote that while the power of making treaties was shared by the president and the Senate, the treaty power “will be found to partake more of the legislative than of the executive character.”

The second usage of “advice and consent” in Article II of the Constitu-

ND Matters:Term limits question citizen competence

By Lloyd Omdahl A committee of petitioners is proposing a constitutional amendment that would limit future North Dakota legislators to eight years of service.

The proposal would “grandfather” in all legislators now serving, meaning that all of the alleged evils of the present body would be preserved over the next 30 years.

Because the Republicans have overwhelming majorities in both houses, they would eventually suffer the greatest impact of term limits. Since one-party states are always on the verge of fragmentation, there would be more primary fights over legislative seats that would pit Republicans against Republicans.

Conservative Hopes Perhaps it is the hope of the petitioners that present legislators would be replaced by new mem-

bers whose ideology would be more to the right. There are a number of national ideology groups ready to push more conservative policy through state legislatures.

If this measure gets on the ballot in 2022, campaigns in other states suggest that it would pass handily.

Of the 15 states that have term limits, the “yes” vote averaged around 65 percent. A landslide in any election.

In the absence of a valid public opinion poll, we can only guess why the public is so eager to adopt term limits.

Guess one, there is a latent suspicion of political institutions and their participants. In other words, the distrust of politicians is rampant and very often without logic.

Suspicious Citizenry Most people don’t accept the role of politicians as accommodators, peacemakers or negotiators because they think the political decisions

(deals) are going to negatively affect them. But policymaking is all about accommodation.

A proposal for term limits presents voters with an opportunity to strike a telling blow at government and the “crooks” that run it. If there is real wrongdoing in the legislature, we have an Ethics Commission but it has been silent since its inception four years ago.

Six other states had term limits.

Two legislatures repealed term limits which could be done because they were statutory rather than constitutional. The ND proposal would be constitutional which is important because the supreme courts of the other four repealing states ruled that legislatures could not impose new qualifications for legislators with ordinary statutes.

Conference Committees The campaign over term limits will consist of subjective claims that cannot be proven. First question: if

sic in the consideration of limiting the terms of legislators. By limiting terms, the citizens are telling themselves that democracy in North Dakota has a serious defect: the voters need to be protected from their own inability to make intelligent decisions in the election and re-election of legislators.

Since North Dakota has one of the largest per capita legislatures, legislators are closer to the people here more than in other states. This is not as true at the state level where we elect more state officials than any other state, except South Carolina. The duties and qualifications of state officials are largely unknown to voters.

So is there enough citizen competence in North Dakota to run a democracy? The voters will decide.

Letter to Editor

SERVICE DIRECTORY PUBLISHER AND ADVERTISING MANAGER Lori Peterson

legislators become corrupt if kept in office for decades, specify a definition of corrupt. Probably the biggest evil in the legislative process is the conference committee in which three from each house sit down and negotiate the differences between the two houses without getting citizen input on their conclusion. But that isn’t corruption per se.

A one-house legislature would end this dangerous predicament more effectively than term limits.

Dismissing the corrupt charge, it is likely true that legislators over the years develop cozy relations with long term lobbyists and agency heads. Even though these should be suspect, a working relationship with lobbyists and state officials smoothen the development of public policy. It may be thin ice but someone must skate across the pond.

Questioning Democracy But there is something more ba-

tion, employs a councilmanic meaning, and it applies to the appointment power, which the president and Senate share in equal terms.

While the president, by and “with the advice and consent of the Senate,” makes treaties, the role of the Senate, sitting as an executive council, is engaged by this language: the president “shall nominate and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint.” The Appointment Clause thus assigns the initiative to the president, but as with treaties, the president cannot act unilaterally; the successful appointment of his nominees requires the advice and consent of the Senate. In this capacity, the Senate acts less like a legislative body and more like an advisory or executive council.

Whether we consider the powers of making treaties or appointments to office, what matters is that the phrase, “advice and consent,” addresses a two-stage process. The framers’ decision to merge the two departments — executive and legislative — in the exercise of such critical powers, reflects their commitment to the doctrine of checks and balances, which, above all, marks their distrust of unilateral executive power. The framers sought to employ the virtues of collective decision-making, that is, joint decision-making in foreign and domestic affairs, so as to draw upon the wisdom of men and women in two different departments. But the expectations of this mechanism have not always been realized. What happens when the “spirit” of joint decision-making is abused and corrupted? We turn to that theme next week.

Letter to the Editor: It was fitting to read the July 25th edition of "Langdon Long Ago" telling the amazing life story of David Beauchamp as a follow-up to a similar, earlier feature of another Peace Corps Volunteer. 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the Peace Corps, and David is one of nearly 600 citizens from North Dakota who have similarly served. These days, a question I am sometimes asked is whether the Peace Corps still exists. While the COVID-19 pandemic forced a temporary suspension of programs, the Peace Corps is very alive and well. And, as the Peace Corps prepares for redeployment, it is up to our congressional leaders, policy makers, and everyday citizens to make sure the resumption of programs are stronger and better than ever. David Beauchamp was a Peace Corps pioneer.

But the next generation of volunteers from North Dakota and beyond have so much to offer in sustaining bonds of friendship and understanding while tackling the public health, food security, and climate change challenges our world is faced to confront. I look forward to when the next North Dakota Peace Corps Volunteers are deployed to serve our country in the months to come.

Jonathan Pearson is Advocacy Director with the non-profit National Peace Corps Association Letter to the Editor: Addiction destroys the relation-

ships with the people who love you 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.

Spotted Soybean Aphids, Potato Leafhoppers and Diamondback Moths in Cavalier County Soybean Aphid Soybean aphids are here!! I was totally expecting them this year.

Soybeans are looking very promising considering the super low moisture levels we have this year. Majority of the fields are in flowering stage with pods showing up at the lower nodes. The fields I scouted had spotty infestations with a few plants covered with aphids. I strongly encourage growers to scout their fields. Soybeans are susceptible to aphid damage from vegetative to all through R5 stage. The primary damage is caused by aphids sucking on plant sap which results in wilting and curling of leaves. The secondary damage is caused from the honey dew that aphids excrete which attracts the growth of sooty mold on leaves. This mold covering on leaves interferes with the photosynthetic capacity of the plant.

Soybean aphids tend to colonize tender leaves and branches from early vegetative through reproductive stages. Later they move to the middle and lower part of the plant.

Scouting and Threshold: The critical growth stages for making most soybean aphid treatment decisions are the late-vegetative to early reproductive stages (Vn to R3). Assessing aphid populations at these times is critical.

• The economic threshold from R1 (first flower) through R5 (beginning seed) is 250 aphids/plant and when populations are increasing actively in 80 percent of the field.

At R6 (full seed), no insecticide treatment is recommended. Research trials throughout the northcentral states have not demonstrated a yield benefit for soybean aphid management at the R6 and later stages.

Pyrethroid Resistance in Soybean Aphid: Pyrethroid resistance in soybean aphids was first documented in 2017 in Cavalier County and other parts of east ND. Research suggests that the source of our pyrethroidresistant soybean aphids in North Dakota (2017) may be aphids that migrated into the state from neigh-

Agriculture NDSU Extension Notes

boring states, and resistant populations may not be established or overwintering in North Dakota.

However, we need more research data to validate this hypothesis. To reduce development of insecticide resistance in soybean aphids, Extension entomologist Dr. Janet Knodel recommends the following IPM approaches to manage insecticide resistance: • Scout fields regularly • Use the Economic Threshold (250 aphids/plant with 80% of the plants infested) to aid in decisionmaking, prevent unnecessary insecticide applications and conserve natural enemies • Rotate mode of action (or insecticide class) if more than one applications is necessary in a season.

If the situation demands insecticide application with a history of Pyrethroid resistance, it is recommended to use an organophosphate first.

• Avoid using the lowest rate of insecticide on label. Use high rates.

• Do not use premix insecticides containing two insecticides of the same or two different modes of action, because premixes have lower amounts of active ingredient per in-

secticide.

Soybean aphids on stems and underneath leaves in a field in Cavalier County Photos: Anitha Chirumamilla, NDSU Extension Potato Leafhopper Spotted a few leafhoppers in soybean fields. The adult is about 1/8 inch long, pale green and wedgeshaped. Adults are very active, jumping or flying when disturbed.

Nymphs are wingless. Adults and nymphs run backward or sideways rapidly when disturbed.

Potato leafhopper on soybeans

Photo: Anitha Chirumamilla, NDSU Extension Nymphs feed on the underside of the leaf, usually completing their growth on the leaves near where they hatched. Large numbers of adults may appear early in the season, but their presence is dependent on migration from the southeastern U.S. Soybean with moderate to dense pubescence, or plant hairs, are tolerant to leafhopper infestations. The short plant hairs form a barrier that discourages leafhoppers from feeding and laying eggs on plant tissue.

When feeding does occur, damage by leafhoppers is referred to as “hopper burn.” Foliage becomes dwarfed, crinkled and curled. Small triangular brown areas appear at the tips of leaves, gradually spreading around the entire leaf margin.

Potential damage to soybean by potato leafhopper is not fully understood. Damage is more likely when drier growing conditions occur.

Threshold The threshold for spray decisions is an average of five leafhoppers per plant in the vegetative stages, and nine leafhoppers per plant in early bloom stages.

Diamondback Moth Spotted several DBM’s flying in canola fields. Strongly encour-

Dakota Gardener: The joy of discovery

By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension In years past, June was probably my biggest travel time.

At the end of the month, I would come home and re-introduce myself to my wife. This year, July’s been awfully busy. As the song says, “I’ve been everywhere, man.”

I’m always on the lookout for unique tree species, no matter where I am. I’ve seen some exceptional trees this month. One was wild-grown, in its natural environment, while the others have been planted. I know this might sound weird, but I’m always excited at the thrill of discovery, even when other people are doing the discovering.

• A single American linden in the Turtle Mountains, in the North Dakota Forest Service’s Hartley Boundary Primitive Area (https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/ndfs/hartleyboundary-primitive-area) - In the North Dakota State Herbarium, curated at NDSU, American linden never has been recorded further west than Benson County. I hope we find more lindens in the Turtle Mountains in the next few years.

ern catalpa do OK in southern North Dakota, south of I-94. North of that line, northern catalpa tends to struggle. Nevertheless, there it was, looking great in someone’s yard. I love the blossoms on northern catalpa in the spring. They’re absolutely amazing.

• Old Norway spruce trees and Douglas-fir trees on farmsteads near Crystal, N.D. - While I’ve seen many Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir around the state, this was one of the few times that I saw Norway spruce. The trees were big, perhaps 50 or 60 feet tall. I saw some young Norway spruce in Manning, N.D., as well. Exciting!

Of course, NDSU has its Woody Plant Improvement Program. Beyond that, we have a lot of other tree experimenters throughout the state, and they’re working with unique species and have found some amazing trees: • A burgundy bur oak - A few years ago, a friend planted a bunch of bur oak seedlings. One turned out to have burgundy-colored leaves. I saw it for the first time this month, and it was amazing! It was near sunset, so I didn’t get a great look at it, but the leaves were clearly not green. What a discovery!

• Pecans? - Yes! A man in Bismarck has been working with hickories and pecans for more than 35 years. Getting a crop from a spe-

cies that’s native to the central and southern U.S. is awfully hard to do in Bismarck, N.D. Nevertheless, he’s had some success and even gave us a couple of pecan seedlings that we’re trying this year at the Myra Arboretum near Larimore. I can’t wait to see what happens.

• Hazelnuts - Dan Johnson of Horace has been growing hazelnuts for more than 40 years. He breeds them and has produced many hybrids that produce great nut crops.

His story is fascinating: http://riverbendhazelnuts.blogspot.com/p/ introduction.html.

Are you an experimenter with trees? I wish you the best. Trees take a long time to mature, and they can be a very costly investment.

Believe it or not, my wife experiments with trees, too. Right now, we have a 4-foot avocado tree growing in a pot outside by the deck. She sprouted a seed several years ago and the tree looks great. It even flowered last year, but I really don’t expect we’ll get any fruit from it.

But it’s a great experiment and a lot of fun! Through the years, I guess I’ve rubbed off on her.

Exploring forage options; hay hotline to list feedlots Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says there are some options to feed livestock, including feedstocks and feedlots.

“With pastures and the hay crop in poor condition, livestock producers have been exploring alternate ways to keep their herd and preserve their genetics,” Goehring said.

“Now that we’ve had rain in some areas across the region for corn, millet, sorghum and other warm season crops, it provides hope for future forage needs in the form of hay, silage or baling up cornstalks after corn harvest. Grain and livestock producers can visit with each other about potential opportunities for feed this fall or sign up on the Hay Hotline. We are also adding feedlots as an option to our Hay Hotline.”

Feedlot owners with room to feed livestock and those who can do custom corn chopping are encour-

aged to contact the Hay Hotline.

To contact the Hay Hotline, call 701-425-8454 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Callers can also leave a message on evenings and weekends. The service is free of charge.

Individuals who contact the hotline are asked to provide their name, contact information and what they need or can provide. Information received during the calls will be placed on the interactive map, available at www.nd.gov/ndda.

Users may click on the icons to retrieve information about available hay, pasture, hayland, CRP or feedlots in their area.

“At some point, we will be asking corn producers to consider listing on the Hay Hotline as an alternate way to market their corn for silage or baling up cornstalks for feed,” Goehring said.

Monday, August 2, 2021 – Page 5 age growers to scout their fields and take necessary steps to avoid losses. Late planted canola which is in flowering and pod development stage is susceptible to yield losses from DBM larval feeding damage.

DBM is an occasional pest in ND. There were a few years when the populations were high enough to cause significant yield losses.

Male diamondback moth in canola

Photo: Anitha Chirumamilla, NDSU Extension tHigh numbers of adults during bloom to early pod development provide an early warning that significant larval infestation may follow. Fields should then be monitored for larvae to assess the numbers of larvae present.

Diamondback moth larvae can be monitored in the field by pulling all plants from a 1-square-foot area.

Beat collected plants onto a clean surface or into a white bucket and

then count the number of larvae dislodged from plants. Larvae often will dangle from canola plants on a silk thread. Repeat this procedure in at least five locations in the field to obtain an average of the number of larvae per square foot.

Economic Threshold: For the early flowering stage, insecticide applications may be justified at larval densities of 10 to 15 larvae per square foot (or one to two larvae per plant). The economic threshold for canola at the pod stage increases to 20 to 30 larvae per square foot (or two to three larvae per plant). The best pest management practices for profitable yields while preventing losses from diamondback moth on canola include early monitoring of adults and larvae, and limiting use of insecticides to only those fields that reach economic thresholds.

Bee Safety: To protect pollinators, minimize insecticide applications to flowering canola, spray when pollinators are less active (during early morning or late evening hours), and select an insecticide with a lower toxicity level to pollinators.

Sylvia Fetsch

Mass of Christian Burial was held July 27, 2021, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Sylvia Fetsch, 76, of Langdon, who passed away Wednesday, July 21, 2021, at Valley Senior Living in Grand Forks. Burial was at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon.

Sylvia Jean Chaput was born August 4, 1944, to Sylveo “Sid” and Charlotte Chaput in Langdon. She was the oldest of five girls. She attended St. Alphonsus, graduating in 1962. She continued her education in secretarial studies at Bismarck Commercial College. On August 13, 1964, she married her high school sweetheart, David Fetsch, who was the love of her life. They lived in Bismarck for a while where she worked at the Bismarck Tribune. They returned to Langdon where they raised their

four children: Lynda, Cindy, Charlene, and Loren. She was a homemaker for many years but returned to work once her children were in school. She worked many years at Maple Manor Care Center in the activity department. After the children were grown, they lived in Park River for a short time where she was a secretary at St. Mary’s parish office. They returned to Langdon, and she went back to Maple Manor to work in the business office until her retirement.

Charles I. Ottem

Funeral services were held July 28, 2021, at Dovre Lutheran Church in Osnabrock for Charles I. Ottem, 74, of Osnabrock, who passed away July 22, 2021, at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks.

Burial was at Dovre Lutheran Cemetery, rural Osnabrock.

Charles Iver Ottem was born October 25, 1946, in Langdon, to F.O. and Kathryn (Crago) Ottem. He lived in the village of Osnabrock until his parents moved to the I.I. Ottem homestead in the fall of 1951. He was baptized and confirmed in Dovre Lutheran Church and attended school in Osnabrock, graduating in 1964.

He continued his education at the University of North Dakota for two years before being drafted into the US Army in September of 1967. He took his basic training at Ft. Lewis, Wash., and his aircraft maintenance course at the Army Aviation School at Ft. Rucker, AL. His 13 months of overseas duty were spent at the Second Aviation Battalion in South Korea during the Vietnam War. After being honorably discharged in April of 1969, he attended aviation school in Fargo taking flight training then returned to UND, graduating with an accounting degree in May of 1972.

In 1977, he began farming with his brother, Jack, until 2014. He retired from farming in 2020. He also man-

aged his own insurance agency. He was very active in civic, political, fraternal, and agricultural organizations.

He belonged to the Milton Lodge #48 A.F. and A.M., Langdon Scottish Rite Bodies, Kem Temple of the Shrine, 49ers Shrine Club, Royal Order of Jesters, Knights of Pythias, York Rite, Eastern Star, American Legion Fismes Post # 164, Veteran of Foreign Wars, Elks, Eagles Aerie #3454, and was elected to Supreme Council of Scottish Rite in Washington, DC. He has served as clerk/treasurer of Alma Township; secretary/treasurer of the ND State Barley Show; former chairman of US Feeds Grain Council; cochairman of the Osnabrock Centennial Committee, and belonged to the Farm Bureau, ND Wheat Producers, National Barley Growers Association, and Crop Improvement Association.

He was also a Republican candidate for the ND House of Representatives.

Charles enjoyed reading, collecting stamps, hunting, and traveling.

Surviving Charles are his brother, Jack (Shelley) Ottem, of Osnabrock; his sister, Freya (John) Hanson, of New Brighton, Minn.; nephews Anthony Ottem and John Hanson IV; nieces Andrea (Joe) Bricko and Agatha (Justin) Ottem Lill; and ten greatnieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and niece Kari Ottem.

Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements.

Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

A small memorial service was held May 5, 2021, at Menke Funeral Home in Sun City, Ariz. and a Celebration of Life service was held in Dunvilla, Minn. at The Barn on July 31, 2021, for Richard Wayne Sturlaugson, who passed away peacefully in their Peoria, Ariz. home on May 4, 2021, surrounded by his wife, Bev, and his children. Richard will be laid to rest in Langdon on Monday, August 2, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. at Lebanon Cemetery alongside his parents and brother. The Masonic Lodge, Lebanon Lodge 34 will perform the service.

Richard was born April 18, 1937, in Langdon to Sigurdur and Doreen (Beaudrie) Sturlaugson. He graduated from Langdon High School in 1955. He attended North Dakota State University, where he joined the Alpha Tau Omega, ATO, fraternity house in Fargo. On June 8, 1956, he married the love of his life, Beverly Ann Hart, in Langdon. He began working in the family business, Sturlaugson Oil Service Station. In 1961, Sig (dad), Ron (brother), and Richard formed a service station partnership; he was in the business until 1975. In 1966, he and Bev built the Dairy Queen in Langdon, which they named the Four Queens Dairy Queen in honor of their four girls: Brenda, Kim, Terryl and Helen. But in the process of building it, God wasn’t quite done with their family and that same year, they were blessed with a son, Dan. When they sold the Dairy Queen in

1979, they started a business in Langdon called Sports & Shirts. He had other business ventures during these years: apartments, a grain bin business, and selling insurance. He was a member of the Langdon Eagles Club, the Langdon Golf Club, and the Langdon Curling Club. He was an active member of the KEM Shriners Club, the Lebanon Lodge 34, and the Scottish Rite of the Free Masons. He loved being a Shriner; it gave him a lifetime of friendships and memories. He would put on his fez for parades, and he worked the Shrine Circus for many years. Most summers were spent camping from Killarney, Manitoba, to the Icelandic State Park in Cavalier, but in 1981 they bought their first cabin on Pelican Lake in Minnesota.

In 1989, they built their lake home, and in 1993 they made Pelican Lake, Minn. their permanent home. In 1995, they started a gift shop called From the Hart in Dunvilla, Minn. until they retired in 2014. During these years they started to winter in Arizona, and eventually they made their home in Peoria, Ariz.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 65 years, Beverly Ann Hart; his five children: Brenda (John) Orrell of Clive, IA, Kim (Greg) Schultz of Peoria, Ariz., Terryl (Rick) Graalum of Fargo, Helen (James) Tackett of Citrus Heights, Calif., Dan (Jennifer) Sturlaugson of Fargo; 12 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Sig and Doreen Sturlaugson; his brother, Ronald Sturlaugson; and his great-granddaughter, Kensington Graalum.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Father Michael Hickin of St. Aphonsus Catholic Church

The Nuptials The other week, my niece Genevieve, nicknamed GV, wedded Alex, her boyfriend of five years.

At the reception, my brother, Dave, gave a father-of-the-bride toast.

He told about first meeting Miaminative Alex when GV brought him home from college her freshman year. Sitting around the firepit in a one-on-one, Alex eased the tension when he said first off, “You’re not going to have any trouble with me.” Dave joked that the admission itself raised an immediate red flag, but sure enough, over the years it proved very true.

The event was a magnificent blending of two diverse yet deeply loving families. My first and enduring observation was that of ‘radiance’, especially witnessed in GV. Can’t say for absolute, but I’m pretty certain the couple ‘saved’ themselves for marriage—if you know what I mean.

You, too, were made for somebody. Not talking about your spouse or would-be mate. We’re talking God, the one who has ‘saved’ you for himself. We enter this dance largely through a thing called prayer. You don’t pray because God needs to hear from you; “your Father knows what you need before you ask Him” (Mt 6:8).

There are many reasons to pray.

A somewhat selfish one is to know God’s love. At some point this knowledge should become experi-

ential. Who of us could live with a mere theoretical knowledge of the love of our parents, friends, spouses?

Check out Stevie Wonder’s 1969 My Cherie Amour. “In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street/ I’ve been near you, but you never notice me/My Cherie Amour, won’t you tell me how could you ignore/That behind that little smile I wore/How I wish that you were mine.”

Admit it, sometimes you, “lovely as a summer’s day,” are as “distant as the Milky Way.” Pray and close the gap.

Maybe it’s hard for you to imagine God speaking to you through a black, blind Motown singer.

Get over it. If you saw The Shack (2017), where Octavia Spencer, a full-bodied, witty & sassy black woman plays God the Father, then maybe your imagination is getting used to disassembling stereotypes of the Divine.

God is neither male nor female but the origin of both and overflowing with love for both.

You’ve been ‘saved’ for love, true love, the truest of love. It’s no small thing to pray about.

Most of the time, selfishness is a bad thing. Praying to experience God cherishing you—that’s a rare instance of good selfishness. Try it.

Hang in there. At some point, your native radiance may surprise you.

It’s what God’s smile does.

Un-named Rooster Chronicles

by Heather Duerre of Walhalla The day that I have been dreading arrived today with a vengeance...

The un-named rooster has become braver and more evil. I thought I had become much braver myself, but today I second guessed my heroic demeanor... Here is how it all happened...As I was standing behind my trusted life-saving plastic rake, minding my own business and picking up eggs, it happened!!! The unnamed rooster pecked my rake. He made full contact, then he backed his little head up and pecked at it again! I’m not going to lie, my first thought was to scream and run. I knew this rooster was after my life, and after all, I’m only human. He’s a rooster, and I don’t stand a chance against him! How could I ever defeat something with claw feet and no arms!? Then I took a deep breath... imagined slapping myself, and said “Stop it! I can’t let him win today. If I do, I will be so ashamed of myself that I might have to go into hiding.”

Besides, my mom raised me to be a warrior, and by warrior I mean she hoped I would get married and have

children... Either way, I know she would want me to stand up to this evil animal. Even though he is clearly trying to kill me, she would want me to defend my Kluck namesake (Seriously, Kluck was her maiden name.

Ironic, isn’t it? Her maiden name was Kluck, and now her daughter is about to die at the beak of a rooster) Anyways...I grabbed firmly to my rake and pushed him back. Then I did what any brave hero would doI super quickly grabbed the rest of the eggs and lunged for the door. I nearly dropped all of the eggs in my hurry to lock the gate, but thankfully they all survived. I looked deep into un-named rooster’s beady little black eyes, and I said “I live another day” then I stuck out my tongue and kicked the fence. I fear I may have to find another weapon besides my rake because my retaliation only made him more angry. I could tell by the way he looked at me, turned, and calmly walked away. It was all an act! I am thinking of buying full body armor, but I haven’t checked the price on those. One thing my mom taught me more than to be a warrior is to bargain shop! Perhaps I will have to bring out the big guns and do some “defeat a rooster ninja training”... I’m sure there’s a How To video somewhere...

Prairie Doc® Perspectives: Self-diagnosis can be rash

By Mandi Greenway, M.D. “Doc, what’s this scaly rash on my arm? Do I have ringworm again?”

A lot of the rashes I see in my dermatology clinic are red and scaly. In fact, what first drew me to dermatology as a profession was watching a dermatologist distinguish between seemingly similar red, scaly rashes all day. It intrigued me at the time, and I wanted to be just like her.

I can always tell when my patient is a farmer, because they usually treat any rash as ringworm before coming to see me. How does ringworm happen and why are farmers so familiar with it? Ringworm, first of all, is not a worm. It is actually caused by a fungus that infects our skin and causes a circular rash wherever the fungus came in contact with our skin. Without treatment, the circle

will continue to expand and enlarge, forming concentric rings. The rash usually itches and is bothersome.

There are several families of fungus that can cause ringworm (tinea corporis in medical speak). They can be spread directly from other people, animals, or soil. The most severe infections typically happen when we get ringworm from animals. Growing up on a farm, I am very familiar with how much farmers interact with their livestock and pets. Farmers are accustomed to diagnosing ringworm on their animals and often will treat themselves if they see a similar rash.

I’m pretty sure every farm family has had at least one member who has come down with this common infection at one time.

But all that is scaly, and circular is not ringworm. I remind my patients, especially farmers, that there are lots of different rashes that can look similar. It is not always in your best interest to try to self-diagnose and treat.

Nummular eczema is a type of

eczema that forms red, scaly, circular patches on our skin. Granuloma annulare is another rash that forms raised rings on the skin. These are both treated differently than fungal infections and make up the most common rashes that are misdiagnosed as ringworm.

There are other, less common, rashes that can signify underlying medical conditions inside your body.

Even though ringworm is a common, non-dangerous skin infection, if your rash doesn’t improve with over-thecounter antifungals you should always check with your doctor.

Post 98 Red Sox win District 5 American Legion Tournament Langdon heads to State B Legion Tourney in Oakes July 29-Aug. 2

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Red Sox Post 98 American Legion baseball team entered the 2021 District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament held at Harris Halliday Field in Grafton as the number one seed in the tourney held July 19-21. While it wasn't easy, the Red Sox got it done with three wins, beating Midway-Minto 7-0 in the opening round on July 19, coming back in the last half inning to defeat Park River 5-4 on July 20, then holding on for a 3-2 win over Grafton in the District 6 championship game July 21. With the victories, Langdon is now 23-2 on the season, and they now advanced to the State B American Legion Baseball Tournament in Oakes on July 29-Aug. 2. The Red Sox played Garrison in the opening round on July 29. Here is a recap of Langdon's three games at the District 5 Tournament: Langdon 7, Midway-Minto 0 In their opening game of the tourney, Gage Goodman took the mound for the Red Sox as they took on Midway-Minto. Goodman, as a first-year Legion baseball player, threw the best game of his young career; he allowed just three hits and threw an efficient 90 pitches for the complete game win, striking out five batters with just two walks.

Offensively Langdon slowly built their lead, putting up a run in the bottom of the second inning as Brady Regner scored on a passed ball. The Red Sox added two more runs in the third with Carter Tetrault opening the inning with a double. Langdon got the sticks going again in the fifth, when Jack Romfo hit a one out double followed by a triple to center field by Regner, who would later score on a wild pitch. Langdon would get one more run in the sixth with Tetrault smacking a triple and later coming home on a dropped third strike by Midway-Minto.

Langdon 5, Park River 4 The Red Sox had a comeback for the ages in their winner's bracket game win over Park River on July 20. The contest was a pitchers' duel

BOXSCORE

LANGDON 7, MIDWAY-MINTO 0 MM -- 000 000 0 - 0 3 0 L -- 012 022 x -- 7 6 1 WP -- Gage Goodman; LP -- Luis Lucatero Highlights -- L: Carter Tetrault 2x3 2B 3B, Brady Regner 1x1 3B, Jack Romfo 1x2 2B

between Jack Romfo for the Red Sox and Brady Omdahl for the Pirates until late in the game.

Langdon scratched across a run in the third inning, when Gage Goodman scored on a bases loaded walk. But Park River would break up a one-all tie in the top of the sixth inning on a double by Tyson Backer followed by a base hit from Kaleb Hodny. The Pirates then would later score two runs on a sacrifice fly ball, as Langdon's throw home would get away to the backstop.

Things looked bleak for the Sox as they trailed by three going into the bottom of the seventh inning. Park River took out Omdahl, who had 20 pitches left to go in the game, in favor of their ace Jayse Fontaine, who pitched earlier in the tournament in a win over Grafton. Carter Tetrault would lead off the inning with a base hit, then with one out, Jack Romfo got aboard on a Park River error. Brady Regner then came up and cracked a double to right center field, scoring Tetrault and Romfo to bring Langdon to within a run at 4-3. After Cooper Zimmer drew a walk and Brennan Kitchin struck out looking, Goodman came to the plate and was down to his last strike twice then singled in the hole between first and second base to bring home both Regner and Zimmer. This brought Langdon the win.

Romfo struck out six batters to get the win on the mound for the Red Sox, and each team had seven hits for the game.

Langdon 3, Grafton 2 In the District 5 title game, Langdon met Grafton, who battled back in the loser out round to get to the championship. This game would be another battle right to the end.

Langdon would jump out to an early lead, as Jack Romfo would hit

After Grafton got a run back in the second, Peyton Ullyott raked a double to left to score Romfo and give Langdon a 3-1 advantage.

Grafton would pick up a run to get within 3-2 in the top of the fourth, and that's where the score would stay until the top of the seventh inning. Tony Villarreal doubled to begin the inning, then with two outs, Weston Sangrait would hit a single to left field with two outs. Villarreal was rounding third for a possible play at the plate, when he stopped halfway home and tried to get back to third base. He was thrown out on a tag by Romfo to end the game.

There was some dispute on whether Villarreal ran through a stop sign or not by Grafton coach Joey DeMers.

Cooper Zimmer would battle all game on the mound and get the win for the Red Sox, scattering eight hits for the complete game appearance with five strikeouts and three walks. Tetrault led Langdon with two hits.

Langdon Babe Ruth Eagles win District 3 Tourney for fifth straight year, go two and out at State B in Bottineau

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

It's been another great year for the Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth baseball program, as the team won the District 3 league tournament for the fifth straight year and advanced to the State B Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament in Bottineau held July 24-28. The Eagles played two games at State, losing in the opening round to Thompson 14-2 on July 24 then had their season come to an end in a 2-0 loss to Burlington on July 25. Langdon ends another nice season with a record of 14-4. Here is a recap of their two games at the state tourney: Thompson 14, Langdon 2 In their first game of tourney, the Eagles met a talented Thompson team, who had a number of their players play both Babe Ruth and American Legion baseball this season. That experience showed, as they were patient at the plate against Langdon's ace pitcher Theo Romfo in the first inning, putting up six runs on four hits.

Langdon would get two runs back in the bottom of the first inning, as Mason and Theo Romfo both singled with Theo getting an RBI, which was later followed by a run scored on a bases loaded walk to Kadyn Hein.

Hein came on in relief of Romfo in the first inning and did a nice job of holding back Thompson until the seventh inning when Mason

BOXSCORE

THOMPSON 14, LANGDON 2 T -- 610 201 4 -- 14 13 5 L -- 200 000 0 -- 2 4 3 WP -- Drew Overby; LP -- Theo Romfo Highlights -- L: Mason Romfo 2x3 2B, Theo Romfo 1x4 RBI, Kadyn Hein 1x1 RBI; T: Jonathon Muhs 2x4 2B, Overby 2x4, Brayden Wolfgram 1x1 3 RBIs Romfo got the last two outs. Mason Romfo had two of Langdon's four hits in the game. Jonathon Muhs had two hits for Thompson as did Drew Overby, while Brayden Wolfgram had a single and three runs batted in. All three Thompson boys have ties to the Langdon-EdmoreMunich area.

Burlington 2, Langdon 0 Frustration would be the word of the day when the Eagles played the Bulldogs. Langdon would have base runners in six of the seven innings but just could not get any clutch hits. The Eagles had the bases loaded in each of the first two innings, as Mason Romfo, Kadyn Hein, and Jax Johnson all would get base hits. The timely base knocks, however, just would not happen, and Burlington also turned an unreal three double plays in the game.

Dawson Hein threw well for Langdon, allowing just three hits in four and two third innings pitched.

The Bulldogs would take advantage of an Eagles error in the fifth inning

There are now 52 kiosk locations across North Dakota. Installation of the new kiosks began in February.

“The new driver’s license kiosk upgrades add another convenient option for customers doing business with the NDDOT and also expands services into rural communities,” said NDDOT Director Bill Panos.

“We are always working to grow and innovate to make services more convenient for our customers.”

With these kiosk upgrades, drivers can now renew a license, request a replacement license or ID card, schedule a road test, pay a reinstatement fee, change their address, and edit donor registry information.

They can also check the status of their license, driving record, CDL medical card and validate their date of birth. Individuals are not able to get their initial REAL ID via a kiosk but would be able to renew at one.

Additional kiosk services were also added for motor vehicle. In addition to motor vehicle registration renewals, customers may now complete their 30-day and non-resident temporary registration, update their email or mailing address, and request a placard for a mobility impairment.

In addition to the kiosks, North Dakotans can still receive driver’s license and motor vehicle services through the NDDOT website, ND Drive mobile app or in person by making an appointment.

For more information on NDDOT kiosks and a complete list of locations, visit the NDDOT website at dot.nd.gov.

Summer baseball winding down, and what a season it was As we come to you on the last week of July, the last postseason baseball tournament of the summer is happening for for area, which is the State B American Legion Baseball Tournament in Oakes. The Langdon Red Sox have advanced to the first American Legion Tournament since 2018, and they played Garrison in the opening round on July 29. The Sox will try and win their first Legion title since 2006.

The Post 98 team has done well this season, even when playing the whole month of July without Grant and Simon Romfo, who are getting ready for NDSU and UND football camps. While it wasn't easy, the Red Sox got the job done to represent at the State B Tourney.

The Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth baseball team had a frustrating run in the State B Babe Ruth Tournament in Bottineau, losing their first two games and being eliminated from the tourney. Although the Eagles were hoping to make a deep run at state, the team can be proud that they made the state tournament for a remarkable fifth straight year, and they will try and push for a sixth straight title next season.

The Langdon 12U Red Sox also made a state tournament in Velva, and they played very well with two heart wrenching losses in the semifinals and third place games. Coach Darin Gellner's squad is one very talented group, and many of them will move up to Babe Ruth baseball next season.

With three teams making state tournament runs, the Langdon

Area baseball programs are in the best shape they have ever been and hopefully that will continue.

Class B Girls Golf to begin first fall season Aug. 2 Something new will be coming to fall high school sports this fall and that's the move of Class B girls golf from the spring to the fall. The move is for the main reason that golf courses almost always are in better shape in the late summer/early fall months, and lately the weather has been much better as well. So, Jenny Romfo and Connie Kjos will be coaching the girls this fall with the first practice coming up on Aug. 2.

Teams will be hitting the ground running, as the first girls meet of the year is Aug. 6 at Park River. The Langdon Country Club will host a meet on Aug. 9. The State Class B Girls Golf Meet will be held in Carrington on Sept. 27-28.

Cardinals Fall Sports Parent Meeting coming Aug. 4 The annual fall sports meeting for athletes, coaches, and parents will be held Aug. 4 at 7:00 p.m. in the Langdon High School gym.

This is for anyone who has a player going out for fall football, volleyball, cross country, and this year - girls golf. For more information contact Langdon Area High School at 701-256-5291.

Cardinals football to get underway Aug. 5 We will leave you with one more date, the opening practice for North Dakota 9-Man and Class B 11-Man football will get rolling Aug. 5. We will have a lot more on this in the weeks ahead. The first game of the season for the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals is coming Aug. 20 at home against Lisbon. How crazy is it that we talking about all this stuff already?!?

that would string together two runs on two hits and would be enough to win the game. Nic Kingzett came on in relief for Langdon in the fifth inning and struck out three batters in an inning and a third on the mound. Mason Romfo would lead a six-hit Langdon attack with two singles.

Montana Visitors At the end of yet another hot and energy sapping week, a phone call came informing me that visitors from Montana were about to arrive in Langdon and wanted information on the Doyle family. This large family had been here even before E. J. Fox, who has always claimed to be Langdon’s first resident, and the visitors wanted me to help them complete what I knew to be a very extensive family history. The original Doyle family consisted of Mrs. Sarah Doyle, a widow, and seven of her eight living children plus at least one grandchild (Mollie Comstock), who at the age of three was written about as a ray of sunshine on the prairie. As the years go by, I tend to get the sisters in this large family confused, but they consisted of Annie (mother of Mollie and other children)- wife of Cavalier County’s first sheriff, Clarence Hawkes; Margaretwho was Mrs. Debrow (this family originally homesteaded the county club land); Theresa- Mrs. John Donovan, who would later live where Braunbergers do today; Agnes- who would homestead her own land and marry next door neighbor Joseph Hamann; Sarah- the daughter who would become Mrs. Carrigan; and sons John and William. They all had claims near a small lake which was soon christened Doyle Lake and a popular site for ice skating north of Langdon. William was one of the first Cavalier County commissioners. Experience told me that just recalling those details would take the rest of the day and part of the next.

It was already Friday afternoon, and the stops most researchers would want would soon be closed for the weekend.

The visitors were Martha (Rehbein) and Dwight Potter from Savage, MT, both interesting and congenial to spend time with, so it was an enjoyable visit on all sides.

They could have spent days in the library’s North Dakota room, but fortunately, the basic information they wanted was in the Langdon Centennial Book, cemetery records or available online from their home computer. Fortunately, a used copy of the centennial book was found that they could purchase. There is no fee to walk in Calvary Cemetery where many of their relatives are buried, and they already knew Dick Hamann whose farm is part of original family holdings. Other families they were interested in included the Clodt, Muhs, Rose, Konanz, Konze, Rhode and possibly Geisen, Arendes, Muenstermann and others with Borgentriech roots. Since they wanted to be back in Montana by Saturday evening, their visit was short. Interested people with similar relatives can write or call them if you want to share information, or if they found your name in the local

phone book, it is possible they will contact you.

Remembering the Boys in Blue Meanwhile, Darryl Dahl and his daughter, Tracie, have spent a lot of time in recent years working on Find a Grave projects- first for the cemeteries near Osnabrock where they have family buried and then reaching out to other searchers. Some of the old cemeteries no longer exist, and they would like to know where some of those bodies now rest. As a result, Tracie gets requests from descendants of early residents in our area, and included in that group are a number of Civil War veterans who have come to be known as the Boys in Blue in our part of the country. In 1986, I wrote about that early group of Civil War veterans in our county.

We have never had a complete listing of those who served in that war since some came here to homestead and might have died elsewhere at a later date, so the ones we know the most about are the ones in local cemeteries. From reading old newspapers we do know that Isaac Coles, who lived in Loam Township, organized active Cavalier County Civil War veterans into a GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) unit of survivors in the 1890s. Of that group Hamilton Burritt, James Reed and Newcomb Kinney all wrote war memoirs in 1915 which are now available in the North Dakota room at the library. Several others have stories in area centennial books.

Listed as the first Civil War veteran to die in Cavalier County was Charles LeFevre in 1888. Charles and his brother, along with Harrison Putnam, had been members of the Vermont Infantry, and all three were buried at Rosa Lake Cemetery near the west edge of Hay Township. I remember crossing the field and climbing a hill (at the request of Herb Reetz) to read the remaining stones years ago. Since that time the site has been removed. Herb, along with Miles Reed and Hal Nickeson, had climbed that hill many times in earlier years to place flags for Memorial Day. Reetz, Reed and Nickeson were founders of the later American Legion post, and all had fathers or grandfathers who had served in the Civil War. Since most of these veterans died before present day residents were born, the little we know of their lives and deaths often comes from the centennial books. The Milton book contributed four names: Henry Felix, who suggested naming the town of Union for the Union Army; William Hummel for whom pioneer township Hummel was named; Theopholus Tschabold is buried near the Milton cemetery entrance; and a McFarland (possibly without a stone) but recalled as donning his old blue uniform to lead settlers in a land dispute. Later, Warren Waind pointed out the name of a family member, John Butterwick, born in England who had joined the Union army in 1861 in Pennsylvania and then moved west to Illinois where he was reactivated and served under General Grant at Shiloh, Vicksburg,

and in the Battle at Wilderness. In 1882 the family came to homestead in Montrose Township. John Butterwick died on that farm in 1906. He had served a term in the North Dakota legislature in the 1890s.

Mike Langan Sr., better known as Gray Mike, had an early saloon in Osnabrock which was closed by prohibition in 1889. As a veteran, he was on the roster of the earliest Co. E and leaving with that unit for Camp Grafton near Devils Lake in 1891. The train left from Langdon and stopped at Osnabrock where goodies were provided for the troops. Langan leaned off the train to kiss his wife goodbye just as the train started, fell off, and was killed.

It was considered a death while on duty and units from around the state came for his funeral at Osnabrock.

The obituary says the governor spoke at that occasion, and the band played the traditional “Dead March from Saul”. There may be other former veterans buried at Osnabrock.

Going north to Loam Township where Isaac Coles lived, there is a possibility that as many as three Civil War veterans are buried at Poplar Grove. Coles is the only one identified by his unit, the 9th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry. His military career included several famous battles, but one he has always been identified with was the one at Chattanoga known as Lookout Mountain where his horse was shot from under him, and he was wounded.

There were both Olson and Dahlvang family members who had served with Civil War units who might have been buried at Vang but had no military tombstones that could be located. Gerda Iverson spoke of going each Memorial Day to decorate three graves in Homen, but the only name received was Kittle Torgerson, possibly also known as Torger Homen, for whom the spot was named. There is no one left to remember if this was one person or two, but we do know there have been Torgerson descendants in Hope and West Hope Townships.

Sgt. Hamilton Burritt, who served with the 5th Minnesota Infantry, came west to Harvey Township in the spring of 1882 along with three of his brothers and because of a family death possibly before statehood had his name on Lot 1 of the Harvey Centre Cemetery in that

township. Cemetery sexton Bob Ullyott wanted to know if Burritt was buried there so we did a search for his death certificate which stated he had died at the Soldier’s Home in Lisbon. Checking with their staff we found he is buried there along with other servicemen from the Civil War with their names on a central monument.

The largest group are buried at Langdon with Major John Dwyer Burke being the earliest having died in 1895 and been buried at Calvary Cemetery. A native of Ireland, he listed 27 major battles on his war record including Gettysburg, Sherman’s March to the Sea, being imprisoned at Appomatox Court House (Robert E. Lee’s headquarters), and the infamous Andersonville Prison. From the time of his death, his grave near 8th Street was decorated with poppy petals, flowers and flags by other veterans and school children while a local band played and a bugler blew Taps.

Lebanon Cemetery on the east side of Langdon has always had the largest contingent of Civil War veterans with the number there generally set at 11, although we are not sure that is accurate since several have no markers. One buried there is James Reed, Langdon policeman in early years, who along with his son Miles Reed, provided much of the Civil War information available today. Others in this group were Newton Kinney, a Minnesota resident whose service began under General Sibley during the Sioux Uprising in 1862; Col. Celsus Orton, a member of the 112th Illinois Volunteers who had a pioneer harness shop roughly where Sporty’s is today and served from time to time as “acting mayor” of the city; Henry D. Parsons from Wisconsin, who had served in the 9th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry and operated an early grocery store and flour mill at the south end of Langdon until his death in 1908; and John Wallace from Wisconsin, who died in 1901 in a steam engine accident according to his obituary at the time, although other records give his date of death as 1904.

Others well known for their years as part of the Langdon business community were Abram Dedrick from a New York unit, who had a hardware store along with his son; William A. Monroe from Wisconsin,

who operated the Columbia Hotel and whose wife later ran a popular boarding house; Seth Hartzell, a farmer about two miles west of Langdon, who saw service with the 2nd Iowa Cavalry; and D. C. McIntyre, who had served with a New York contingent and spent the later years of his life in Langdon where his son, William McIntyre, was a lawyer and mayor of the city during the 1909 cyclone and rebuilding era.

One of the more interesting Civil War veterans was Frank DeJudge, born Francisco del Gudee in Italy, who was known here as the Restaurant King and advertised his business as the best meal in town for 25 cents. Frank was also a talented musician and had served two tours of duty- one as a musician with the US Navy and a second one with the US Marines. Frank left Langdon after a few years to settle in Grafton where he is buried.

Hannah had a number of Civil War veterans in their community including G.W. Sumter, who taught music and in ill health his students performed their concerts in his yard at Hannah. Others from that area were Dr. G. L. Corry, a veteran of the 25th Wisconsin Volunteers; James Danelly, who served with the 3rd Illinois Cavalry; W. J. Ross from the 154th New York Volunteers; C. P. Spaulding from the 12th of New York; and George Swinburne from the 4th of Vermont. Two remembered from the Clyde area were Hope Carpenter, who may be buried at Langdon, and John Lott, whose daughter married a member of the Downs family who still own or farm land in the Clyde area.

William Oleson/Olson, who came to homestead in the Milton area, later moved to Nekoma and became the last Civil War veteran to die in Cavalier County in 1932 when he was 97 years of age. His story and picture are in the Nekoma book, and just this year one of the last of his great-grandchildren died.

She was Iris Gellner, also in her 90s at the time.

Prairie Fare: Try these 5 summer food safety questions

Think back to high school for a moment.

Most of us took some kind of science course, maybe biology. Perhaps you took some science courses beyond high school. Maybe you majored in a science field.

In early days, do you remember learning about bacteria, yeasts, molds and viruses?

I don’t remember the emphasis on germs when I was young. Kids are becoming well-versed in microbiology these days.

Preventing the growth of bacteria, molds and other organisms is among the reasons we have refrigerators and freezers in our homes.

Without cold storage, the invisible intruders that can be present in our foods would make the foods inedible and potentially dangerous. Refrigerator storage slows the growth, and freezer storage stops it until thawing.

We cook our food to make it more palatable and also to inactivate bacteria. Food companies heat-process cans or jars of food so it is safe.

The warmth of summertime may beckon us outside to grill and/or dine. Foodborne illness cases tend to increase as we move food preparation outside.

Let’s try a few quiz questions to see what you know about microorganisms and ways to control them.

The answers to these questions are based on recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.

Questions 1: You tasted grilled lamb with rosemary at a restaurant and have decided to prepare lamb at home. To what internal temperature should ground lamb be cooked as measured by a food thermometer?

How about lamb steaks?

A. 160; 145 B. 50; 130 C. 170; 125 Question 2: The outdoor temperature has soared to 95 F. You are setting out a picnic buffet under a shady tree. How long are the egg salad sandwiches safe without being on ice in a cooler?

A. 30 minutes B. One hour C. Two hours Question 3: This potentially fatal

form of foodborne illness has symptoms that may include double vision, drooping eyelids, difficulty breathing and swallowing problems. What foodborne illness has these symptoms, and what is the most likely food source of the bacteria?

A. E. coli gastroenteritis; ground beef B. Salmonellosis; chicken C. Botulism; home-canned vegetables Question 4: You are staying at a cabin and decide to take a drink from a stream that looks clear. Less than a day later, you experience projectile vomiting, explosive diarrhea, headache, fever and chills. (In other words, you don’t want this to happen to you.) What organism is the most likely cause?

A. Norovirus B. Salmonella C. Trichinella Question 5: Unfortunately, the ice in your cooler has melted and left a puddle of lukewarm water. Your macaroni and ham salad is floating in a plastic container in the water. You eat it anyway because you are hungry after hiking. About two hours later you experience intense stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Which type of bacteria is the likely culprit?

A. Salmonella B. Staphylococcus C. E. coli Here are the answers, plus a little more information.

Cook ground lamb to 160 and lamb steaks/chops to 145 with a three-minute rest. This is the same recommendation as we have for ground beef. Use a food thermometer to check internal temperatures.

When temperatures are above 90 F, leave perishable food outside of temperature control for no more than one hour. Even better, keep your food in a cooler stocked with plenty of ice. Keep the cover on your cooler and place it in the shade. When traveling, keep the cooler in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Botulism is most often linked with improperly processed home-canned food and it can be fatal or leave lasting health effects. Preserve food safely. All low-acid food (vegetables, meats and most mixtures of food) should be pressure canned for safety.

Acidic foods such as jams, jellies and fruits can be canned in a boiling water-bath canner. See https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/food for research-test-

ed food preservation information.

Norovirus can be transmitted by water and food, and from person to person. We often hear about norovirus outbreaks associated with cruise ships. Be sure to drink safe (“potable”) water and to wash your hands and prepare food with safe water.

Staphylococcus is the most likely cause. It grows well in creamy, protein-rich foods that have been handled by unwashed hands or in foods that have been temperature-abused.

The toxin produced can cause symptoms in one to six hours. The symptoms among older adults, infants and immune compromised people can be severe.

Here’s the good news: No one has to experience these symptoms if proper food handling, preservation and storage procedures are followed.

Search online for “NDSU Extension Fight BAC! Fight Foodborne Bacteria” (FN582) for more details about the four steps to food safety: clean, separate, cook and chill.

Here’s a recipe that makes use of some of summer’s bounty, the supernutritious green veggies spinach and kale, along with carrots and bell peppers. Be sure to rinse leafy greens thoroughly under running water.

This recipe also features yogurt, a food with “good bacteria” that will help keep your gut healthy.

Spinach and Kale Dip 16 oz. fat-free plain Greek yogurt 3 Tbsp. light mayonnaise 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. dill 1 c. kale, finely chopped 1 c. spinach, finely chopped 1/3 c. bell pepper, minced 1/3 c. carrot, minced Salt and pepper to taste Add yogurt, mayonnaise and seasonings to a bowl and mix. Add chopped vegetables and stir to combine. Chill for two hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with crackers or chips.

Makes 14 servings. Each 1/4-cup serving has 35 calories, 1 gram (g) fat, 4 g protein, 3 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber and 40 milligrams sodium.

Producer options for grasshopper control Drought years tend to produce more grasshoppers, which harm crops, pastures and rangeland.

High temperatures also cause grasshoppers to mature more rapidly.

According to the July 15 North Dakota State University (NDSU) crop and pest report, an increasing number of adult grasshoppers are present, which represents a greater risk to field crops. Adults are more mobile and fly to find greener fields for feeding and have a larger appetite.

Frequent scouting is recommended to determine the level of infestation.

“Producers should scout their property and if grasshopper levels are economically damaging, they should take action. The adults have already laid eggs that will hatch next spring, so if control of immature grasshoppers is not taken in the spring, adults could be at even higher levels next year,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Control measures are best coordinated between producers with neighboring fields, pastures and rangeland for maximum effect.”

The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDAAPHIS) can help provide technical assistance by surveying and coordinating control between neighbors.

Interested producers may reach the

Counties do have the option to take control measures if they deem it necessary and funding is available. County commissioners may designate a county pest coordinator to administer available county funds to assist in controlling grasshopper populations.

Both NDSU and USDA-APHIS have been monitoring grasshopper levels all season. The latest reports do not indicate that populations have not reached a level that is economically damaging.

“Hotspots could still exist,” Goehring said. “If producers are concerned; they should contact USDA-APHIS for assistance in surveying.”

NDSU Extension Notes

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Love It or Hate It I saw the funniest thing the other day. Someone posted on Facebook asking if it was zucchini season yet or if they could leave their car doors unlocked when they came to North Dakota for a visit. I laughed out loud, and I’m sure those around me were wondering why.

When zucchini season rolls around, people start talking about making zucchini bread, about how many zucchinis they got out of their garden at their last picking, or sometimes even about the dread of the overabundance. Zucchini can be picked early which sometimes helps with the feeling of overabundance.

They are delicious raw, sliced, or chunked up if picked when they are smaller. If they are left to grow large, the seeds can be discarded, and there is a lot left to be used as shredded or chunked additions to recipes. It is fairly easy to find some that someone wants to give away because they have so many. It seems that people have very strong feelings either for or against the vegetable that is so versatile. People either love it or they hate it, and there isn’t much in between. Sometimes it makes a difference in how zucchini is prepared - for example, zucchini bread is often a favorite, but zucchini hot dish may not be or vice versa. Whether you like it or not, there is no disputing that zucchini has several good qualities.

Zucchini (also known as summer squash) is easily grown here in North Dakota, which makes it a vegetable common to the area. One plant produces an abundance of squash.

In fact, it grows so quickly that I sometimes feel that if I blink - a new squash appears on the plant. It is versatile in how it can be prepared (raw or cooked in an air-fryer, microwave, stove top, and grill). It is easy to freeze for later use and usually takes on the flavor of what you are cooking it with, so it has potential for a lot of possibilities. It comes in either green or yellow color and is a great color addition to raw and cooked, hot and cold dishes. Not only all of that, but zucchini nourishes our bodies with vitamins A, C, and K, along with potassium and other minerals all at the low-calorie count of 17 calories per cup. It’s easy to use by just picking off the plant, washing under cool running water, and then preparing according to recipe directions.

Similar to other vegetables (like potatoes, for example), zucchini is one of those vegetables that can be cooked with or without a recipe. It is easily sautéed or added to meats or breads as a filler for added nutrients and moisture. It can be sliced, shredded, or cut in half to make zucchini “boats” that can be filled with other foods such as vegetables, stuffing, or meats. No matter how it’s prepared, there are an abundance of ways, and all can add variety to your daily menu planning without making you feel like you are eating the same vegetable every meal.

There are several ways we can enjoy zucchini throughout the year if we have more than we can give away or if we would like the delicious and nutritious zucchini season to last.

When the vegetable is first picked, it

should be kept in the refrigerator and enjoyed within 3 to 5 days. It can also be canned, frozen, or dried so it can be stored for longer periods of time.

We have publications that explain the proper methods of each. NDSU Extension’s Field to Fork series has cards for quick reference for drying and freezing, and there are also Field for Fork publications called “Let’s Enjoy Zucchini!” (FN1981) and “Summer Squash!” (FN1837).

If you would like a copy of any of these, feel free to stop in our office or give us a call at (256-2560). The cards and publications include stepby-step methods as well as recipes such as Taco Summer Squash Boats, Zucchini Bread, Summer Squash Salad, Baked Summer Squash, Skillet Zucchini with Chopped Tomatoes, Zucchini Rollups, Zucchini Chocolate Cake, and Zucchini Pizza Bits.

All of them are delicious and have added nutrition because of the extra vegetable in every bite. And, if you have a real sweets eater in your family that won’t want to consume any extra vegetables, the Zucchini Chocolate Cake is a great hidden place for some.

If you would like more information on zucchini (summer squash), feel free to visit our website at https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension to get more information. There are several recipes and tips that could be helpful to you when either cooking or preparing for later use. You can also call our office at 256-2560, stop in and visit with us, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu.

This recipe reminds me of lasagna and is packed with extra nutrients.

Zucchini Rollups 24 zucchini strips (about 2 zucchini) 2 tsp. olive oil 2 tsp. minced garlic 2 c. fresh chopped spinach 1 c. ricotta cheese, part skim 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, finely sliced Pepper to taste 1 c. spaghetti sauce ½ c. shredded mozzarella cheese Using a vegetable peeler, peel each zucchini into wide strips. Layer two strips vertically and two strips horizontally to make a cross. Repeat with remaining strips. Over medium heat, sauté garlic and olive oil. Add spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, garlic, ricotta, basil and pepper. Using a spoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture and place in the middle of each zucchini strip cross. Fold each side to seal in the ricotta mixture, then flip over the zucchini so the seam side is on the bottom. In a baking dish, pour in the marinara sauce, then smooth with a spatula. Evenly place the zucchini rollups on the sauce, then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 425 F. Makes four servings. Each serving has 190 calories, 11 g fat, 13 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate, 1 g fiber and 440 mg sodium.

Here is an extra tip if you have a picky eater at home that needs more vegetables in their diet or you would just like to add more nutrients to dishes you enjoy: summer squash can be easily pureed in a food processor and added to foods. Example: yellow summer squash in mac and cheese.

Whether you love it or hate it, try something new with zucchini this summer!
