Langdon Area, St. Alphonsus, and Munich schools all have new teachers starting this year. Some are new to the Langdon and Munich area, and some are familiar faces who grew up here. All are excited to be here and educating their new students. Langdon Area Schools Nykolas Hope enjoys working with students and is looking forward to his social studies classes this year. A Langdon native and LAHS graduate, he attended St. Cloud University in St. Cloud, Minn. He went on to teach remedial 9th and 10th grades in Tyler, Minn. for 3 months and then social studies for grades 8-12 in Walhalla for eight years. After teaching in Walhalla, Hope took a break from teaching for 3 years. He says he always wanted to be a teacher even if he didn’t want to admit it at first. Hope said the best part of teaching is developing relationships with the students and helping them develop into self-thinkers. Hope grew up in a family that valued education as being an essential life event. He and his wife, Carrie, have 4 children.
100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the Woman Suffrage Amendment. Enjoy these stories written by the following writers. Suffrage’s Secret Weapon: Women’s Clubs by Ann W. Braaten One hundred years ago, social media and television weren’t available to bombard viewers with ads promoting votes for women. Instead, newspapers, lectures, and public programing communicated the message. A network of women’s clubs aided the effort by sharing information and strategies and training members to lobby for full voting rights. The change in societal views concerning woman suffrage didn’t come about quickly or easily. Distinct gender roles for men and women were ingrained into the social order: men represented their families in the public sphere, including business and politics; women directed the private sphere — bearing responsibility for the home — feeding, clothing, and rearing children to insure they had the necessary religious, social, ethical, and moral skills to be responsible adults. As industrially manufactured food, clothing and household supplies replaced homemade goods, women gained more leisure time, allowing women’s clubs to flourish. At first, clubs focused on religious, social and literary engagement, but by the 1890s, some began advocat-
affecting homes and families. Women’s clubs helped further their skills in organizing, administering, and communicating their points of view to the public. The Women’s Christian Temperance Union was one of the most influential clubs during this era. Its army of women was

committed to advancing WCTU goals. Founded in 1874, the WCTU is remembered as being anti-alcohol, but the breadth of its work went far beyond temperance. The WCTU addressed many societal ills affecting women and children, including domestic violence, the double standard associated with sexual morality, and the exploitation of women and children in the work force. The WCTU believed that having the vote would allow them to truly protect their
from becoming destitute if their families shunned them. Gaining the vote for women was an important issue for North Dakota’s WCTU from 1910 to ratification in 1920. When the North Dakota Votes for Women League was established in 1912, the WCTU pledged to work with it to acheive women’s suffrage. WCTU networks existed throughout the state, with members helping to secure locations for public programs, hosting lecturers, and commu-
He has been farming the Hope family farm near Langdon for the past 12 years. “My dad was always active in local politics, and he passed on a love of history and government involvement to me,” Hope said. “So now I get to work with the next generation and hope to create a group of actively involved, civic-minded individuals.” Peter Sykora has been teaching for 32 years but still finds learning something new every day is his favorite aspect of teaching. After attending high school in Browns Valley, Minn., he attended South Dakota State University, earning a B.S. in biology and minors in chemistry and general science. He then taught at the Ellendale School District and the Litchville-Marion School District. Sykora said he became a teacher because he always enjoyed science and mathematics in high school, especially the upper level physics, chemistry, algebra II and trigonometry classes. Sykora keeps busy beyond the classroom. He has officiated high school football and girls and boys basketball. He serves as the executive secretary and awards coordinator for the North Dakota State Science and Engineering Fair Association and serves as a facilitator/
trainer for the FDA/NSTA Professional Development Program in Food Science. Sykora grew up on a dairy farm in northeastern South Dakota where his mother still resides. He comes from a large family with six sisters and three brothers and enjoys building model rockets and airplanes, golfing, and running. Sykora said, “I enjoy learning science and mathematics. It allows me to constantly do work that is challenging.” Kaitlyn Kipp attended school at the University of Mary and obtained a bachelor’s in science with a major in psychology. She is currently obtaining her master’s degree in counseling with a specialty in schools. “I decided to become a school counselor while I was studying abroad in Ireland,” she said. “The forgiveness curriculum was something that stood out to me and was a spark for me to become a school counselor.” This is Kipp’s first year in a school system on staff, and she is excited to be a part of the Langdon Area School District. As the school counselor, she gets the best of both worlds: counseling sessions and classroom lessons.

and columns in local newspapers. The North Dakota WCTU dispatched delegates to national meetings in Washington, D.C., who on their return traveled statewide to share updates on congressional action relating to the status of woman suffrage, prohibition, and other issues important to women. They motivated members to continue their work to improve conditions for families as politically active citizens. During World War I, the North Dakota WCTU cooperated with the state organizations of the Federation of Womens Clubs and the Votes for Women League to aid in the war effort. Together they implemented Red Cross programs to produce bandages for soldiers, promote increasing food production through gardening and food conservation, and encouraged women to invest in the Liberty Loan program. Their success with all of these defied those who believed women were incapable of successfully coordinating and completing complex tasks. Women’s club networks at the local, state, and national levels were successful in advocating for political change. The coordination of their dedicated members amplified the message of woman suffragists, expanded their reach, and assisted in securing the passage cont. on page 2
Crockett joins Public Health
By Linda Timian Republican Writer
Cavalier County Health District (CCHD) has expanded their staff, hiring Barbara Crockett as a public health nurse. A public health nurse has a wide range of responsibilities. Crockett administers vaccines for all ages from birth to adults and manages medication regimens for several clients in the community. She performs Right Track visits, which are screening visits that help to identify developmental delays prior to age 3. She also assists with training events in the community such as Narcan training and community education. Besides assisting with the COVID-19 testing events, she helps conduct contact tracing. “I am joining the CCHD team at a very unique time. This new global pandemic has posed some new objectives and challenges,” said Crockett. “I have been able to assist CCHD as well as other communities and the National Guard with mass COVID-19 testing events as well as take some of the burden off of other staff members who have been
bogged down with COVID-19 meetings, updates, and navigating policy as it relates to our new normal.” When asked about her favorite part of the job she said, “I LOVE learning and helping people, and this position most certainly helps me to accomplish both of those things. I love the hands-on work that immunizations, COVID-19 testing, and Right Tracks brings. I also truly enjoy the challenges of learning and growing my knowledge amidst such an uncertain time, with everevolving circumstances as it relates to the global pandemic. Listening in on meetings with doctors and professionals from all over the world weighing in on the global pandemic and its implications and challenges has truly been so interesting.” Crockett started her nursing career as a CNA in a longterm care facility in Staples, Minn. while in school to get her LPN at Minnesota State Wadena. After completing the required pharmacology course, she passed the test to become a med aide (distributing medicines in hospitals and long-term care facilities) and cont. on page 3

Langdon City Commissioners focuses on old business By Melissa Anderson Republican Writer
The Langdon City Commission held their end of August meeting with a full agenda of old business being the focus. The city departments of water and street have been busy awaiting the end of the spraying season before the water tower repair can begin and reviewing frost boil repairs being done by TriState Paving. Langdon City Auditor RoxAnne Hoffarth informed the Commission that Langdon was awarded City of the Year by the North Dakota League of Cities. Moore Engineering’s Andrew Aakre was present via phone teleconference to discuss ongoing discussions with Quam Construction for the correction work needed to be done as part of Phase 1. Aakre reviewed the financials that were in need of a commission vote. The Commission approved payments per recommendations by Aakre. Mark Kakela approached the commissioners about a planned burn for agricultural property that is close to city limits. Kakela explained that he has trees that had been pushed down and need to be burned. Kakela and the Commission discussed what would be needed by Kakela to complete the burn as well as having the fire department present as the burn would be so close to residential properties. The issue was tabled until the next meeting. Dennis Luhmann discussed work done last year on an inter-
section and the resulting balance due. The city discussed the intersection, clarifying where the work had been done and what the bill entailed. The Commission agreed to pay the total presented at the time of the meeting. Michelle and Nathan Gibbens, owners of the Cavalier County Abstract Company and recently purchased McHugh’s Abstract, addressed the Commission regarding the utility bill ordinance for sub leasers of business locations. Michelle Gibbens spoke on behalf of the partners to the Commission. Langdon City Attorney Quentin Wenzel and Langdon City Commission Jerry Nowatzki explained to the rest of the Commission that it would be in the city’s best interest to address the ordinance and adjust the base fee. Nowatzki suggested a motion reducing the fee by 25 percent across the board. Gibbens stated that while she is a city attorney herself and understands the position of the city in regards to the ordinance, the reasonable charge for service provided does not stand when one business is housed within another and all the services are paid for by the main business. The argument that Gibbens presented was that the business is not being provided with any services that someone else within the building has not already paid for. She did note that for other business locations with sublets that they may have the additional meters and usage that justifies the fee within
the ordinance. For her business, however, she does not believe that the ordinance applies. Gibbens and the commissioners discussed different scenarios in which the ordinance is used. Wenzel advised the Commission that the reasonable charge aspect is where the city may find issue if Gibbens were to take the issue to district court. Ultimately, the commissioners tabled the topic until the next meeting to allow the commissioners to think over the argument presented by Gibbens and determine what a “reasonable charge” would be. In Other Business • The Commission was scheduled to discuss the roof repair to the hall joining the Langdon Activity Center and the Masonic Hall. No representative was present for the Masonic Hall so the issue was tabled. • The city will provide gravel to the county with a price of $1 above cost. • The commissioners discussed the tree trimming contract with Kendall Gimmel and what would be needed from the city in terms of extra manpower, scheduling, sanitation involvement and where the funding for the project would be pulled from. • The annual funding requests from the Langon Chamber of Commerce was approved. • The Commission will be taking action against property owners that are in violation of city ordinances and have not resolved or created a plan of action for the issue.

Don’t be tempted to reuse canning lids More people than usual started home gardens this year, which means food preservation supplies are disappearing from store shelves. “If you cannot find lids or jars in your usual stores, check a variety of retailers,” says Julie Garden-Robinson, North Dakota State University Extension food and nutrition specialist. “You might find the supplies in places you wouldn’t expect.” You can reuse glass canning jars, but don’t be tempted to reuse canning lids, she advises. The gasket compound in used lids may fail to seal on jars, resulting in unsafe food. When jars are processed, the gasket on new lids softens and flows slightly to cover the jar-sealing surface. The lid also allows air to escape from the jar. Then as the jar cools, the gasket forms an airtight seal. Gaskets in unused lids will work well for about five years from the date they were manufactured, according to the National Center for Home Food Preservation. “If you can’t find new canning lids, you might consider freezing or drying your fruits and vegetables,” Garden-Robinson says. “Freezing is one of the easiest, most versatile and convenient methods of preserving foods,” she notes. “Properly frozen foods maintain more of their original color, flavor and texture and generally more of their nutrients than foods preserved by other methods.” NDSU Extension had information on food preservation at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/ food-preservation. If you are able to find new canning lids, be sure to follow the directions on the lid box.
“Most manufacturers do not recommend boiling the lids, even if your grandma or mom always did that,” Garden-Robinson says. “Most of the time, you do not have to warm the lids at all.” The practice of pre-warming lids dates back to before 1969, according to canning experts at the corporation that produces Ball canning jars. In earlier canning, people used lids with red rings made of latex, which required heating to soften the plastic. Canning experts recommend you wash new lids and bands in hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive materials or cleansers that might scratch or damage the coatings applied to the lids and bands. Rinse them under hot water. Dry the lids and bands and set them aside until you need them. Garden-Robinson also recommends that you not tighten the screw bands too tightly. Tightening them too tightly can cause seal failures. “The screw band should be applied fingertip tight using your thumb and ring finger,” she says. She adds that paraffin or wax seals also no longer are recommended for canning jams and jellies. Jams and jellies need to be topped with two-piece lids and processed in a boiling waterbath canner. “With all food preservation endeavors, be sure to use appropriate equipment and follow current research-tested canning recipes available from Extension agencies nationwide, the National Center for Home Food Preservation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” Garden-Robinson recommends.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Is N.D. ripe for ice wine… Most of us know there is an emerging wine industry in North Dakota. It’s been going on the past 18 years and appears to be quite popular and solid financially. We also know that North Dakota has consistently cold temperatures which is the perfect solution to making ice wine. From the beginning in 2002 when Pointe of View Winery in Burlington started and got national news attention, the industry has now built itself to 16 wineries across the state. Unfortunately, ice wine isn’t even a niche market here. Ice wine is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing for a more concentrated grape juice to develop. The juice is then pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet wine. With ice wines, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterward. Unlike the grapes from which other dessert wines are made, ice wine grapes should not be affected by Botrytis cinerea or noble rot, at least not to any great degree. Only healthy grapes keep in good shape until the opportunity arises for an ice wine harvest, which in extreme cases can occur after the new year, on a northern hemisphere calendar. This gives ice wine its characteristic refreshing sweetness balanced by high acidity. When the grapes are free of Botrytis, they are said to come in “clean.” As you might imagine, ice wine is a huge business in Canada in two places, the Niagara Region of
Ontario and the Okanagan Region of British Columbia. The ice wine industry got started in Canada in 1972. The best seller, at least according to Canadian media, is Inniskillin, which is produced at Niagara Falls and may be found in select liquor stores in North Dakota. The industry is actually older than that. Eiswein became a market in Germany in 1961, and it was a German immigrant who came to Canada who started the craze at Okanagan. But as far as statistics are concerned, Germany is a distant second to Canada in the production of this unique dessert wine. So why can’t North Dakota get an ice wine industry started? I’m pretty sure all the vineyard owners are concerned about their grapes freezing. I’m sure it’s more complicated than freeze the grapes, press the juice and bottle the wine. There are a couple of things North Dakota has going for itself, however, regarding ice wine. First of all, and I believe these are legalities, at least 51 percent of the grapes to make wine, have to be grown in North Dakota. And, U.S. law stipulates that grapes have to be frozen naturally and not picked and thrown into a freezer before processing. Ice wine production is kind of like picking tomatoes and peppers the evening of the first frost, but it’s kind of the opposite of that. Instead of scrambling to pick all your produce before it freezes, on the morning after it freezes, the grapes have to be picked before they thaw. So in North Dakota that could be a little risky because we all know that when it freezes, the next day is usually warm and would most likely turn the grapes to mush which would make them useless. Thus, a winery would have to have enough people to get the grapes picked quickly and then taken to a freezer to remain frozen until processing begins.

Deadline is Wednesday by 4 p.m for the following Monday paper.
Believe it or not, there is an ice wine industry in the United States, but it’s a niche market. Northern Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are producing ice wine. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are all at lower latitudes than we are and northern Michigan, commonly called the “UP” or upper peninsula, is a similar latitude and has similar climate as North Dakota, although it’s probably more humid in Michigan during the winter. Grapes are grown in all four corners of the state now and could support an ice wine industry. The northeast, however, would probably be the best candidate because the day and night temperatures don’t fluctuate as much as they do in the other three quadrants of North Dakota. Who would have thought frozen grapes could be turned into a delicious and sweet wine? It’s quite different than a Zinfandel or Merlot but has its own unique flavor and characteristics. I wonder if any of the vintners in the state have explored this idea? It would certainly be a way to increase sales.

Home Fall is my favorite time of year. It's also a very sad time as both my parents and maternal grandparents left this world in late autumn. Still, fall feels like home to me. This lead me to musing about what "home" means. Is it a location? Is it a place where all treasures are kept? Is it where you can finally relax? Is home a place you search for, or is it where you are found? References to what "home" is lies scattered throughout literature, film, and song. Each creator attempting to define what seems so easily understood yet is vastly different to each person - from Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz chanting there is no place like home to take me home country roads by John Denver. I noticed something a while ago. Upon reflection, I began to understand just the reference to "home" was saying. Home is not a place. It's a people - the people who know you, accept you, love you. The peo-
ple that, when you call, lend a hand. The reason I find this understanding of home to be so important is because of my upbringing and current situation in the world. I moved around as a child quite a bit. I can easily pack and unpack. Each new location is just another name of where I've been. The current situation in the world with all its upheavals and unknowns is frustrating at best and frightening at its worst. Having a place where you feel safe is so important in times like these. We turn to the familiar. We turn to what we understand and know. We turn for home. My home is where my family is. My family can be found in a Langdon, in Bismarck, in Fargo, in the southwest corner of the state raising cattle and on the Fort Berthold reservation raising crops on land my grandfather bought. My home is where my family is. My home is here. My hometown is North Dakota.
Report From the Legislature
Rep. Chuck Damschen R – District 10 Still under the cloud of COVID-19, the interim committee meetings I was scheduled for this week did not materialize. One of our members on Legislative Council tested positive for COVID-19 last week so all meeting were put on hold. They are in the process of rescheduling these meetings for the near future. A major development in the upcoming election is the ND Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, ruled that measure 3 may not appear on the November ballot. Many of the signatures were obtained under false pretenses, telling potential

signers that it would make voting easier for veterans and servicemen who were voting absentee. In reality the measure did not make any appreciable improvement in voting for anyone and the affects of the measure that the petition circulators didn’t divulge, had major negative results. The measure kind of meshed with the so-called “ethics” initiative passed in 2016. That was touted as an ethics amendment, but the ethics portion of the measure, for all practical purposes, was already in ND law. People were mislead into signing the petition then the same as measure 3 now. Incidentally, some of the same people led the charge for both of these initiatives which were promoted and funded by out-of-state interests. At it’s worst, the “ethics” commission initiative gives a five member appointed commission power to limit elected officials and amendments to the ND Constitution with no oversight. Not everyone is at the same level in their ethics, even in ND, but I believe very few legislators would be found to be in violation. Our votes
are not for sale. A free meal and an evening of music do not sway our opinions, but this is often where legislators have the opportunity to visit with one another and become more familiar with details of legislation being considered. We pay a monthly fee if we opt to use our state computers for personal use, which is all at the fingertips of Legislative Council should they want to review our usage. These updates are a matter of ethics, as well. Though we will state our opinions, we try to avoid being political in them. This has long been the requirement, as I recall Joel Heitkamp could not have his radio program while serving as a state senator. A friend of mine worked as a radio DJ until he entered the race for county commissioner, at which point he had to terminate his DJ work. As a matter of ethics I feel obligated to refrain from using this column for political purposes. With that said, I look forward to a time when COVID-19 is behind us and I can report some forward motion from my interim committees. Keep in touch!

ND SNAP clients can purchase groceries online; Agency announces new grant to assist food retailers with online setup costs The North Dakota Department of Human Services announced a new SNAP Access Enhancement Grant program today to increase access to food assistance by ensuring North Dakota grocery stores and other qualifying food retailers are equipped to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card payments for food purchases. The grant funding, which was approved by the legislature’s Budget Section late last week and by the North Dakota Emergency Commission Aug. 3, comes after the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved North Dakota’s request to allow online food purchases by SNAP households. North Dakota joined USDA’s online purchasing program Aug. 12, 2020. The SNAP EBT online food purchasing program started as a federal pilot project involving a few states and two approved national food retailers: Walmart and Amazon. The pandemic has accelerated the nationwide rollout, and North Dakota is among the most recent states to provide another purchasing option for SNAP clients who can already buy food from USDA-approved food retailers who use store-based or mobile point-of-sale devices. Michele Gee, the DHS Director for Economic Assistance, said
the department has been working closely with USDA and the North Dakota Grocer’s Association to increase access to safe and convenient online purchasing options. “We want to prevent hunger by supporting a safer option to in-store shopping for individuals at higher risk of coronavirus complications who are limiting their outings and exposure to others in the community who may be asymptomatic,” she said. The SNAP Access Enhancement Grants are for any approved SNAP retailer who could benefit from help with the cost of the equipment and systems needed to accept and correctly process SNAP/EBT card purchases, whether online, in store and when groceries are delivered. They can also be used to help retailers get set up as an approved SNAP retailer, as a precursor to approval for the online purchasing program. The grants will reimburse applicants for the cost of eligible expenses incurred, up to $25,000. The application form and details about eligible expenses, documentation requirements and the reimbursement process are online at https:// www.nd.gov/dhs/info/covid-19/ snap-access-grant.html. SNAP benefits can only be used to pay for food. They cannot be used to purchase non-food items or to pay for delivery fees or other as-
sociated charges. One of the primary requirements of the systems and equipment that need to be used for online purchasing is that they are able to ensure that non-food items cannot be purchased with a SNAP EBT card. North Dakota approved $750,000 in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding to support the grocery retailer grant program. A portion of the funding will be prioritized to help smaller grocery retailers to help ensure broad access across North Dakota. Information about the SNAP Access Enhancement Grant and other resources and information for service providers and individuals and families can be found in the coronavirus section of the department’s website at www.nd.gov/dhs/info/ covid-19/index.html. Background on the federal USDA SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot is online at www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ online-purchasing-pilot. SNAP typically assists about 23,000 low-income North Dakota households with their nutritional needs by providing $68 million in federal SNAP benefits annually. On average, the monthly SNAP benefit per household is about $350 in North Dakota.
Behavioral Health Division’s Parents Lead program creates new resource to help parents during the pandemic The start of school and fall activities can be stressful under normal circumstances, let alone during a pandemic. To help engage parents and children in open communication and support them through this transition, the North Dakota Department of Human Services’ Behavioral Health Division has created a new toolkit for parents called Parenting During a Pandemic. The new Parents Lead resource touches on a variety of topics, including how to support children going back to school, whether they are going in-person a few days a week or participating in full-time distance learning, balancing teleworking with children at home, supporting a child when they are grieving the loss of activities, knowing when a child is ready to stay home alone, age-specific ideas on supporting children impacted by COVID-19
and more. The new resource can be found online at www.parentslead. org/COVID-19. “Parents are making difficult decisions relating to child care, education and managing careers,” said Behavioral Health Division Director Pamela Sagness. “Caring for young children while assisting with distance learning for older children and working full time, often from home is difficult. Any support or resources we can offer to North Dakota families is important.” The Behavioral Health Division continues to develop new resources not only for parents, but also for community members and professionals. Individuals are encouraged to check the Parents Lead website regularly for new resources, links to helpful information and for updates on supporting families during these times.
Check us out online at www.cavaliercounty extra.com Dakota Gardener: Being tough and getting older By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension “Getting old isn’t for sissies.” I heard that from Jack Carter, who was North Dakota State University’s flax breeder for many years. Carter came into the office nearly every day, well into his 80s. He had a great point. Physical demands are tougher as we age. What about trees? Is life tougher for them as they age? Even tree species that are short-lived should be able to survive 20 or 30 years. How do they do it? The annual cycle of growth, senescence and dormancy goes on, and yet the environment is slightly different each year. How do the trees survive, and even thrive? Admittedly, the stressful environment of North Dakota shortens the lifespan of many trees. Extremes of moisture and temperature take their toll. Just one week of flooding is likely to kill a spruce tree, although a cottonwood can handle that stress with minimal problems. Extreme low temperatures in midwinter kill trees every year, especially those that are from seeds farther south. We often use the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Hardiness Zones as a guideline for which species or varieties might be adapted to North Dakota. In autumn, trees go through the process of hardening to prepare for winter dormancy. The environmental cues that begin the hardening process are shorter days and cooler temperatures. However, other factors come into play. Trees that are growing vigorously don’t harden as quickly or as much as they should. I see this every year in yards that are highly fertilized and irrigated.
The trees barely slow their growth in the fall, and they don’t completely harden up for winter. The damage shows up the following spring as dead branch tips, or in the worst cases, dead trees. So what can we do? Believe it or not, a little bit of drought stress in August is actually a good thing. The process that trees use to respond to drought is related to the process they use to harden up in the fall. So, in giving trees a little bit of stress, we’re actually helping them. Nurseries do this every year as part of tree production. They cut back on watering to slow the trees’ growth. Should you shut down the irrigation system in your yard during August? Well, for the sake of the trees, yes. Of course, there’s a tradeoff. The grass won’t be quite so lush, and it might not even be green. But the trees will slow, and that’s good. Side benefit -- less mowing! The hardening process is also what gives us those beautiful fall colors that we enjoy every year. Without hardening, we miss the vibrant yellows, oranges, reds and purples that nature provides. When my wife and I bought our current home in 2013, it came with two beautiful maple trees and an irrigation system. For the first few years, the maples didn’t provide that brilliant fall color that we expected. Then I realized that I hadn’t turned off the irrigation during August. I finally remembered to do that in 2016 and the maples were beautiful that fall. I know it sounds weird, but try stressing your trees, at least a little bit. It’s good for them.

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Father Michael Hickin of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church
“In my end is my beginning.” —T.S. Eliot If white privilege is about social inequality, what am I doing about it? Am I taking any action to foster equality? I’m not ready to answer that. In the eyes of an activist or social reformer, my conclusion, week 5 of this August column, will be paltry. In the eyes of a fellow pilgrim on the journey toward justice, I pray my conclusion will be a tiny ray of hope. People who suffer from racism rightly demand action now. Someone who’s suffering wants the pain to stop. Normal. People who awaken to the truth that their own inaction cements structures that are pressing the life out of countless brothers and sisters feel a different kind of awful. Like a speck of concrete floating before the Hoover Dam realizing you’re part of an unnatural distortion of nature’s flow or like being the minister in a church that’s betrayed its Founder or like a motorist with a full tank of cheap gas and a 401K padded with Exxon stock listening attentively to an attorney on the radio defending the poor whose history is on the verge of being erased by rising sea levels, I feel tipsy with a cocktail of emotions. Sorrow – at living a lifestyle that disadvantages others to my
benefit; gratitude – for having a glimpse at what, up until recently, was hidden behind a massive inner blind spot; helplessness – that causes me to cry out with an elder brother in faith, “Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Rm 7:24-25); and compassion – that urges me to own the three letters BLM, even if I’m not into bumper stickers or placards. The following meme made eminent sense to me: “I say Black Lives Matter because All didn’t cover Black when they said All men are created equal. I say Black Lives Matter because All didn’t cover Black when they said With liberty and justice for All. I say Black Lives Matter because they’re still struggling with the definition of All.” I call this cocktail Hope. Hope is not a solution. It is not relief. It is an open door to the work ahead. Hope is the breath, “the gentle whispering sound” (1Kg 19:12), that accompanies the beginning, middle and end of all dismantling and rebuilding. Hope is the cocktail I drink on the 19th hole as I hash out my game with fellow players, critique my mistakes, and bolster my spirits not to give up, believing my swing might still have a future.
All are Welcome!
823 9th Ave, Langdon Pastor Rev. Mark Chepulis
Welcome to
Langdon in 1926 where her parents raised them on a dairy farm. She graduated from St. Alphonsus High School with valedictorian honors in 1934. She worked at Boyd’s Department store for 6 years and then for Pete Anthony Insurance Company for another 6 years. Her last job was as the bookkeeper and office manager at the REA in Langdon for over 28 years, retiring in 1974. She was a devoted daughter who lived with and provided care for her parents until their deaths. She and Frank Shablow were married by Father Dennis Shue on July 10, 1974, in Fargo. They made their home in Langdon. As the wife of a State Senator and avid trap shooter, she accompanied him on many trips to Bismarck and shooting competitions all over the western United States. When Frank passed away on July 12, 1981, she remained living in their home on 12th Ave., near her good friends Della Crockett, Lola Throndset, and Edna Rose, a friend she knew almost her whole life. She moved to Wheatland in 2011 and then to Maple Manor Care Center in 2016. She appreciated and praised everyone on staff who cared for her at Maple Manor. They treated her like family and brought tremendous comfort to her in the remaining years of her life. When she married Frank, she also took on the role of the gracious step-mom and loved each of them as if they were her own: Russ and Irma Shablow of Austin, TX, John and Judy Shablow and family of Georgetown, TX; grandchildren: Debra (Wallace) Ousse of Frederick, MD, Brian (Denise) Shablow of Minneapolis, Minn., Janette Shablow (world traveler), and Shawn Shablow (deceased); great-grandchildren: Jenni-

Earl Pomeroy endorses Charles Hart Charles Hart met with the Honorable Earl Pomeroy in Grand Forks and received his endorsement as District 10 Democratic-NPL candidate for ND State Senate. Charlie Hart is a 4th generation farmer from rural Pembina who has served on numerous boards, in community organizations and is seeking to continue his public service commitment in Bismarck. Charlie married Patricia Cayley, a Cavalier native. They both attended NDSU and raised two sons while farming along the Red River. They reflect ND values and understand, through a lifetime of experience, the problems and solutions which make our community vibrant. Earl Pomeroy was elected to the ND House of Representatives in 1980, became ND Insurance Commissioner and in 1992 was elected to the US House of Representatives serving 9 terms until his retirement in 2010. While in Congress Mr. Pomeroy served on the Agricultural Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee, focusing on trade, health, social security and was a member of the Rural Healthcare Coalition. Pomeroy and Hart share concerns during this time of COVID. Earl sums it up this way, “North Dakota values come from a long
history of neighbors helping neighbors. This pandemic is calling us to action to work as a community and provide a safety net to protect the health of those we cherish.” Hart and Pomeroy are concerned about ND Republican legislature’s property tax relief, shifting tax funding into the energy sector, while reducing oil extraction taxes during a downturn in ND oil production. This has resulted in shortfalls of revenue required to fund ND infrastructure and, most importantly, education. Pomeroy states, “The Republican legislature should restore oil taxation rates to levels voted into place by ND residents. This would help funding for rural health care, infrastructure projects, and K-12 education.” The Honorable Earl Pomeroy continues his work in Washington D.C. as Senior Counsel at Alston and Bird law offices with a focus on tax policy and regulation. Charlie Hart stated, “I’m honored to receive this endorsement from a life-long ND public servant who has worked tirelessly for the well-being of all North Dakotans. We share a commitment to move away from partisan politics and gain an understanding of varying points of view to achieve common sense solutions.”

Cavalier County Senior Meals & Services still providing services to the area Mid-March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down all congregate meal sites in North Dakota, per ND Aging Services mandate. Meal providers were deemed “essential” and stepped up to provide grabn-go meals, take-out meals, and drive-thru meals, as well as adding many people to the Home-Delivered Meals programs. Meals during the COVID-19 pandemic have increased over 40% over pre-pandemic times in some areas. Until there is an effective vaccine and all have been vaccinated, many of the state’s older adults will continue to utilize these safe methods of getting food. Under the ND Smart Restart guidelines, meal sites can only have 50% capacity in the dining area and must be able to maintain the proper social distancing requirement of six feet. Food must be served by employees; self-serve is not allowed. Due to restrictions and limited staff, Cavalier County Senior Meals & Services dining room will remain closed for the time being. Thus, all activities, including foot care services remain cancelled. We will continue to offer take-out meals, frozen meals, and home-delivered meals as we have done for several months. Nutritional status is closely associated with an older person’s ability to function and remain independent. Hospitalized older adults suffer from many adverse effects when malnourished. Nutritious meals, tailored to older adults, reduce the risk of chronic diseases and related disabilities, prevent nutritional deficiency, and improve health over the long term. Please continue to practice social distancing and good hygiene, wear a mask when necessary, and take care of yourself. If there is anything

Jake’s take on sports
Cardinals open the season by smoking Northern Cass 59-14 board. Simon Romfo threw a beautiful pass down the field to one of his new receivers, Markus Kingzett, who sprinted to the end zone for a 45 yard touchdown. Then the Cardinals defense went to work, picking off three passes, one each by Carter Tetrault, Grant and Simon Romfo. Tetrault would later score on an 18 yard pass from Simon, who -along with Grant each had interception returns for scores. Leading 33-0, the Cardinals tacked on touchdown runs by Grant Romfo, set up on a 42 yard pass from Simon Romfo to Tetrault, and a 31 yard scamper by Simon. Grant would take a swing pass and break two tackles for another score to make it a 53-6 lead at the half. The Cards second team took over in the second half, producing a score on a nine yard pass from Rayce Worley to Nic Kingzett. Simon Romfo finished the game with 235 yards passing and three touchdowns with one interception. Simon also led the Cards with 45 yards rushing, followed by Tetrault with 42 and Grant Romfo with 33. Tetrault led the team with four catches for 77 yards. Roger Economy made five out of nine extra points.

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team and everyone involved with the program was just thankful to be playing when they visiting Northern Cass to play the Jaguars in a non-conference game on August 21. The Cards played hard and won 59-14, leading 53-6 at halftime. The high flying Cardinals moved their record to 1-0 on the season, and after playing Hatton-Northwood for their home opener on August 28, they will begin their Region 2A conference schedule at Park River Area on September 4. COVID-19 restrictions were prevalent at the game at Northern Cass, as everyone who attended the contest had their temperatures taken at the gate and had to sign in. Langdon-Edmore-Munich got things going early and often, scoring on the opening drive of the game with Grant Romfo running in a TD from 10 yards out. Simon Romfo had an eight yard gain on a fourth down earlier in the drive to continue the march to score. After forcing a Jaguar three and out, the Cards needed only three plays to put more points on the

Cardinals football wins first game; Begin conference play at PR Sept. 4 Football season is underway across North Dakota, and the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals got into action Aug. 21 at Northern Cass. Despite losing three All-Staters and a couple of All-Conference players, the Cards really didn't miss a beat in their 59-14 over the Jaguars. With strong senior leadership, and some very talented younger faces in the lineup, Langdon-Edmore-Munich figures to be right in the mix for another state title. After hosting Hatton-Northwood for their first home game of the season on Aug. 28, the Cardinals will hit the road for their first Region 2A game of the year, at Park River. Langdon-Edmore-Munich is ranked number one in the state in the latest Class A 11 Man Poll, and this week they received all 19 first place votes. The Cards are also picked first in Region 2A, and beginning with PR, will have seven conference games to try and reach the postseason. Lady Cards Volleyball to begin season on Sept. 3 at home versus Cavalier The Langdon-Edmore-Munich volleyball team will get their season underway Sept. 3 with a home match versus the Cavalier Tornadoes. The Lady Cards are embarking on what they hope will be another successful season and another possible state championship.

Flink and Alison Podhrasky. Jane Hart and Morgan Titus are coaching the junior high team. The Cards strength this season will be their hitting, led by All-State senior Lexi Olson, plus senior Kaylee Lowery, junior Morgan Freije and freshman Cora Badding. All four are experienced and know how to knock it down. They have several athletic girls that are vying for spots at setter and in the back row, and if those spots get solidified, look out. This season the Lady Cards are looking for their sixth straight Region 4 crown. Due to COVID-19 regulations and guidelines, matches will look a little different, as teams won't be switching benches between sets, and their will only be one team captain from each team meeting with the officials before each match, among other minor changes. For the Cardinals first home match, fans are reminded to please wear a mask into the building until you are seated. There will be concessions with a limited menu. 5th and 6th grade basketball has begun Speaking of girls sports, it's great to see grade school girls basketball get going. Teams from across the region all have teams involved, with the Langdon-Edmore-Munich team being coached this season by Mykal Morstad. Saturday jamborees are not allowed this year, so it will just a full season of regular season games for everyone involved. We wish all teams the best of luck. Coping with the virus in ingenious ways One good thing about dealing with COVID-19 is the innovative ways that schools are making things work. One such story is the Langdon High School choir, under the direction of Kim Hart, was having trouble finding enough space to social distance to have rehearsals in their usual practice room. So, Mrs. Hart took the kids outside (!!) for a practice, just beyond the high school side doors. Sure, it's not optimal, but what a great example of working and together and continuing some sort of normalcy. Where there's a will there's a way! If we hear of more stories like this, we will pass them along to you here. "See ya!" next week!

New NDAWN weather station in Wales: A community success story A great news to Cavalier County residents and growers. A new NDAWN station has been set up 1 mile west of Wales down the minimum maintenance road (102 avenue). Lat and long: 48.891495°; -98.628375°. For years, this area has been in a zone that is away from the Langdon Station, missing on the important weather data that could benefit the growers in their Ag operations. This project has been a work in progress for two long years and it came to fruition finally! Our biggest thanks to CHS for being the foremost and major sponsor for funding this project. Your commitment to your community speaks through your actions! Also, this project was not possible without the gracious support and funding from Cavalier County Crop Improvement Association, Cavalier County Soil Conservation District, Simplot, Beck Seeds, Howatt Air, and Legacy Seeds. Each one of you welcomed the idea with the spirit of supporting our growers and gladly contributed to this project. I am so proud of you for being part of our community. Last but not least, we should all thank Mr. Brian Kram, the gracious landowner who let us set up the NDAWN Station on his property! Check out the website for weather data @ www.wales.ndawn. org
NDSU Extension Notes What should we know about growing field peas I am quite surprised to see how many acres of field peas were planted in Cavalier County this year. The field peas looked very good for the most part. H o w e v e r, field peas are one of the most sensitive crops that is susceptible to many diseases. Starting from seedling to maturity there are a number of diseases that can attack this crop. Root rots: There are two types of root rots that occur in field peas and these are considered the most damaging compared to other disease. Wet conditions favor this pathogen making our County very susceptible to this disease. Although classified as root rot, Aschochyta foot rot forms blackish purple lesions on the stem at the base of the plant and severe infection will result in premature ripening, lodging and reduced yields. Fungi survives in plant debris, stubble and on seed. Whereas, Aphanomyces root rot appears as caramel-brown lesions on the roots damaging the cortex (outer portion) of the root. Therefore, when the plants are pulled, the cortex sloughs off, leaving only a small strand of vascular tissue intact. The pathogen overwinters in soil as spores that can survive for many years.

NDSU Extension Notes
• A three-year crop rotation • Planting into well drained soils • Minimizing soil compaction • Planting disease-free seed • Testing for level of seed-borne inoculum if using own seed Blights: Two types of blights (Aschochyta and bacterial) are economically important in field peas. Aschochyta symptoms are on stems with purplish brown lesions centered on nodes. Plant lodging and premature ripening are associated with severe lesions. Diseased tissue is never translucent, does not readily shatter and is not constrained by veins. Disease is most severe at the base of the plant when cool, wet weather occurs during late vegetative growth and bloom. Bacterial blight often develops in the midcanopy and is most severe after rainstorms accompanied by strong winds and after hail storms. Lesions on leaves, petioles, stems, and pods appear shiny and greasy when fresh. Leaf lesions are often constrained by veins and frequently become translucent or shatter as they age. Management: • Crop rotation and plant disease free seed (both diseases survive in residues, are seed-borne and seed transmitted • Fungicides are effective against Aschochyta but not against bacterial blight

CAVALIER COUNTY
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent The Season for Packed Lunches With school and harvest in full swing, it also means lunch packing is in full swing at our house. Though my husband fends for himself (he’s particular about what he likes and what he wants each day… it’s not that I’m not willing), it is my responsibility to pack for our son and myself. Last year, my son had a simple request: to eat what the other kids get to eat at school. If you know our situation, you know this was heartbreaking to me, as I wish he could eat lunch just like the average child, but I was bound to meet my son’s expectations. So, I started checking the school lunch menu and planning accordingly in order to pack his lunch to match what the others at school were eating - in our own, allergen-free way. Most of the time, packed lunches need to be easy to handle and quick to eat. There isn’t time for a 5-course meal at school or in the field, but there are several things that can be done to accommodate variety and food safety so that healthy, sustainable meals can be consumed during our busy times. Packing daily lunches not difficult with planning and determination can even be a fun thing to have as a routine part of your day. Packing lunches can even be an outlet for creativity and artistic ability. 20 Tips for Packing Lunches: 1. Make extra of your evening meal for leftovers for lunch the next day. 2. Pack meals the night before during evening kitchen clean-up to save you time in the morning as well as ensuring the food is cold when put in the insulated bag. 3. Vary your fruits and vegetables to help break up monotony and get needed nutrients. Color can help guide you. Color variety = nutrient variety. 4. Make sure to pack cold packs on each side of container. Only on top or only on the bottom is usually not sufficient enough. Make sure to keep your foods cold enough for safety reasons. 5. Use an insulated container (hard or soft-sided) specifically designed for food. 6. Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. If the food comes from the refrigerator or needs to be refrigerated after opening, make sure to pack it with cold packs. If you want the food hot, be sure to pack it in a safe thermos container designed specifically to keep foods hot. 7. Be creative. Cut fun shapes in your sandwich, fruits, or veggies using cookie cutters. Find unique recipes to use or try a new food. 8. Remember to make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Use MyPlate as your guide. Make sure to always pack a protein, grain, fruit, vegetable, and dairy. 9. Vary breads for sandwiches – use bread, buns, pita bread, crack-

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) is reminding producers using herbicides for pre-harvest desiccation to check the label to ensure the product being used is labeled for desiccation of the crop it is being applied to. Pre-harvest desiccation refers to an herbicide application that dries the plant and leaves of a crop before harvest. “While some products may be cheaper and provide the same level of desiccation, they cannot be used if the label does not allow it,” Agri-
culture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Failure to use the correct product at the correct time may result in decreased yields, poor germination for seed crops, or the risk of having commodities rejected and potential liability for contamination.” It is a violation of state and federal law to apply a product in a manner not prescribed on the label. Applicators should also be sure to follow required harvest intervals prescribed on the label.

ers, etc. Keep them whole grain for best nutrition. 10. Try dry fruit and jams or honey sandwiches for room temperature safe options. 11. Freeze sandwiches. It will help keep the sandwich safe along with the other cold foods by prolonging the usefulness of the cold packs. 12. Buy a lunch bag with extra outside pockets for utensils and room temperature items so they don’t take away from the cold effect of your freezer packs. 13. Keep out of the sun and hot vehicles. Even though cold packs are in the insulated container with the food, the hot temperatures are too much for the cold packs to last long enough to ensure food safety. 14. Pack only what cold and hot foods you will eat within the safe food storage time. The cold and hot packs don’t last all day, and in order to insure safe food, it’s best to only pack what you know will be eaten. 15. Boil water and let it sit in the thermos as you wait for your food to cook to a hot temperature. Pour out just before replacing with your food. This should keep your food hot for 4-6 hours. 16. Try to add variety to your packed lunches by including things like healthy veggie dips. Vegetable Dip Cups This healthy recipe comes from NDSU Extension. Ingredients 1 c. fat-free cottage cheese 8-oz. carton plain Greek yogurt 0.4 oz. envelope ranch dry salad dressing mix 24 whole green beans 1 red bell pepper 1 orange bell pepper 5 celery stalks 8 party cups Directions In a bowl, add the cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt and ranch packet and mix to combine, set aside. After washing, cut the celery and bell peppers into strips. Place 4 tbsp. of the dip in the bottom of each party cup along with 3-4 strips of each vegetable. Makes eight (1 party cup) servings. Each serving has 100 calories, 0 grams (g) fat, 7 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber and 310 milligrams sodium. 17. Plan your menu for the week ahead of time. Include the needed items on the weekly grocery list. Look for menu planning tools that can help with organization. 18. Utilize the fresh produce available this time of year as well as seasonal produce in the grocery store throughout the year. Check the sales flyers for deals. 19. Plan a treat once a week. Everyone loves a little dessert with their meal, but don’t make packing lunches an excuse for processed or unhealth options! 20. Some foods that are usually served hot taste okay cold, too. Example: pizza. You might be surprised at what you like as a cold lunch if you don’t have access to a microwave. No matter what you choose to pack or how you choose to pack it, make sure to always keep safety and nutrition in mind. NDSU Extension has many resources for packing lunches including “5 tips for Building a Healthful Lunch” (FN1774) https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/publications/food-nutrition/5-tips-forbuilding-a-healthful-lunch/fn1774. pdf as well as “Brown Baggin’ It: A Guide to Lunches on the Go” (FV1416) https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/publications/food-nutrition/ brown-baggin2019-it-a-guide-tolunches-on-the-go/fn1416.pdf.

Prairie Fare: Let’s boost our immune systems with a healthful diet
I was out of town for a couple of days, taking care to follow all the health precautions in place. Wearing masks was required in every retail store and restaurant. Arrows directed us where to walk, and “X” marked the spots for social distancing when paying for our items. I heard a loud sneeze at a restaurant. It sounded juicy. I nearly ran out of the restaurant, but I wasn’t sure of the location of the “droplet shower.” I stayed in my spot. However, I interrupted my menu reading and put my mask back on before I looked around. According to some research, respiratory droplets from sneezes might travel 18 feet or more. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t be alarmed, but we are at a challenging point in history. Our actions are safe-guarding our health, along with that of our family and friends, and everyone around us. I spotted the “sneezer.” He was a host. He was wearing a mask as he brought people to their table. I was hoping he just had inhaled some pepper or had seasonal allergies. We know people can spread COVID-19. Can COVID-19 be spread by food? I have good news. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from food products or packaging.” Restaurants are following cleaning and sanitizing recommendations, so I felt safe sitting in our socially distanced booth. Ordinarily, our immune system protects us from viruses, bacteria and other “germs.” Our immune system acts similarly to the old video arcade “Pac Man” game, gobbling anything in its path around a maze. Unfortunately, COVID-19 is a “novel” (new) virus. Our body does not have the defenses in place without a vaccination. As the cold and flu season approaches and the pandemic continues,
we can take steps to strengthen our immune system. The immune system is highly complex. It includes specialized cells known as white blood cells, which prevent or limit infection in our bodies. Immune cells are made in the bone marrow, and the thymus organ in the upper chest helps immune cells mature. Lymph nodes store white blood cells and release them in the bloodstream, where they can trap infectious germs. The spleen, an organ behind the stomach, also plays a role in immunity. Once your body fights off a germ, your immune system remembers it so the next time the same germ enters your body, your immune system can resist it. Without a vaccine for COVID-19, can we do anything lifestyle-wise? Follow your health-care provider’s recommendations and consider these tips. Eat a healthful diet. Be sure to aim for variety in your daily diet. See https://www.choosemyplate.gov for details about building a healthful diet. Most people shortchange themselves on the recommendation for fruits and vegetables, which should make up half of our plate. Most adults need at least 4 1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables daily. Fruits and vegetables are naturally rich in vitamins A and C, and a variety of natural antioxidants. For example, antioxidants include beta-carotene (in deep orange and gold vegetables), lutein in green leafy vegetables (such as kale and spinach) and lycopene (in tomatoes and watermelon). Vitamin D also helps promote a healthy immune system, so be sure you are having milk and other vitamin D-fortified foods and beverages, and oily fish such as tuna and salmon. A short stroll outside in the summer sun also helps your body make vitamin D. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity on most days to strengthen all of your body systems from your heart to your immune system. Don’t forget to wash your hands with soap and water and scrub for at least 20 seconds. If water is not readily available, you can use an alcoholbased sanitizer with 60% alcohol. Be sure to read the directions to see how much to use. Rub the sanitizer all over
your hands and between your fingers until your hands are dry. See https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ nourishyourbody for a variety of information on nutrition, exercise and the body systems, along with links to credible resources. Here’s a recipe that features foods with immune-boosting effects, according to published research. Honey has long been used in traditional medicine for its potential therapeutic effects, and scientists have studied the stimulating effect that yogurt with live and active cultures may have on strengthening our immune system. Cinnamon also has some immune-boosting effects, according to some researchers, and it also has been used in traditional herbal medicine.

We are pleased to present to you this year's Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the safe clean water we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. The city of Langdon purchases its water from the city of Devils Lake which purchases water from Northeast RWD- Langdon Branch. The North Dakota Department of Health has prepared a Source Water Assessment for the city of Devils Lake. This information will be made available at the respective offices of Devils Lake during normal business hours. The city of Devils Lake also participates in the wellhead protection program and copies of the wellhead protection plan are available from the cities of Devils Lake offices during normal business hours. Our public water system, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, has completed the delineation and contaminant/land use inventory elements of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on the information from these elements, the North Dakota Department of Health has determined that Devils Lake's ground water is "moderately susceptible" to potential contaminants. No significant sources of contamination have been identified. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Jason Busse, Operator @ (701) 370-1911. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the second & fourth Monday @ 6:00 p.m. @ Langdon City Hall. If you are aware of non-English speaking individuals who need help with the appropriate language translation, please call Jason at the number listed above. The city of Langdon would appreciate it if large volume water customers would please post copies of the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report in conspicuous locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and/or employees, so individuals who consume the water, but do not receive a water bill, can learn about our water system. The city of Langdon routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2019. As authorized and approved by EPA, the state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data [e.g., for inorganic contaminants] though representative, is more than one year old. The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include
rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land, or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can, also, come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the number of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. In the following table, you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we have provided the following definitions: Not applicable (NA), No Detect (ND) Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (μg/l) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/l) –Pico curies per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level
Goal - The “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
a pesticide or petroleum spill or leak. We are proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s
ing Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). *If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant woman and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Northeast Regional Water District (Langdon Branch) is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. Use water from the cold tap for drinking and cooking. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before us-
Bacteriological Monitoring DataTCR/RTCR: Total Coli Form Data: April had the highest number of Total Coli Form Samples. Total Coli Form Positives for that month: (1) Coli forms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other potentially harmful, bacteria may be present. EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants. Those contaminants listed in the tables above are the only contaminants detected in your drinking water. Unregulated contaminants are those for which the EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist the EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. Your water system monitors for several unregulated organic contaminants, which could indicate a contamination of the water supply from
Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800426-4791). MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as, persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drink-
ing water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize expo-sure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Tampering with a public water system is a federal offense. Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement immediately. Please call Jason Busse, Operator at (701) 370-1911 if you have questions concerning your water system. The city of Langdon works diligently to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future. The city of Langdon is an equal opportunity employer.

Langdon Long Ago By Rita Maisel
ALSEN TROPHIES The Long Ago Alsen Broncos basketball team is known far and wide for setting a winning streak in the 1950s which has not been topped since that date. Building a winning streak is hard work and you do it one game at a time. After the first couple of games the fans knew they had a good group and cheered them on game after game. The first year they won 34 games counting the ones that took them to the State Class C Championship and the second year they built on that foundation winning another 34 games. The closest game of the second year might have been their second State Tournament but they won that as well. Alsen players, some veterans and some younger players, went on to win the first eleven games of the 1959 season ending the consecutive winning streak at 79 – a record which still stands in North Dakota Basketball history books. There would be more wins and some losses before the school closed in 1980. For more than 60 years this team has had the trophies to prove their claim to fame. This week a group of surviving stars of that outstanding group brought their trophies, pictures and a history book to the Cavalier County Library where a display has been set up in the North Dakota Room. The choice of the North Dakota Room for small historic displays is ideal because there are coordinating books on the shelves on both the sport and on the home communities. Both the library and the former players invite you to stop in and browse through their memorabilia even if you are too young to have seen them play in person. When schools close, as Alsen did in 1980, buildings are sometimes repurposed; trophies and other historic items can be packed away and, over time, simply vanish. Some time ago the group decided they wanted their trophies displayed somewhere and set out to find the memorabilia they could locate. Some items had been damaged over the years, and repairs had been needed. One trophy had been replaced. Items that had gone with
Donald Klein, Donald “Skip” Spenst, Alan Kreklau, Gilbert Herbel and Rayburn Herbel are pictured here with their Alsen basketball trophies at the Cavalier County Library. They will have all the trophies out for a while but only have one or two out at a time. players to distant homes needed to be retrieved. Some of the original teammates had died, and others were not in good health. Gil Herbel took leadership in this project but asked others living close enough to Langdon to join him in delivering the trophies to Langdon where the library plans to display the collection for a time and then store some away to be brought out on special occasions. As part of the collection Gil brought along his copy of the 2015 book on Class C Basketball 1948-1963 with stories of the 16 schools who had the honor of being Class C champions. Alsen was the only school to win the championship in back to back wins. Alsen school began their basketball team as early as 1928, but like most schools, success was an up and down situation. They routinely played nearby towns that could be reached by car or a train ride. Organized basketball had begun in the state about 1914 with organized districts, and a provision that consolidated schools (those with 75 students or less) could play other schools their size if they had five or more boys on a team. Many of the early teams had six players in case one got sick. In 1933 the larger schools with other qualifications became A and B schools, and in 1948 Class C began for the smaller schools. Consolidated groups continued to function outside those parameters. By the 1940s they had well-established leagues; tournaments for county, district and re-
gional play; and at the top - state championships. Class C and the remaining consolidated schools were merged into Class B after 1963. School fires were frequent, and according to their centennial story Alsen lost their school in 1946. Classes continued around town, and basketball was still their favorite sport. One description was that they played before school, at recess, after school, in the evenings, Saturday and Sunday, and all year around. Others mentioned practicing outdoors, and when they had no gym their games were played “away”. Determination paid off. The new school opened in the early 1950s and funds were raised for a new gymnasium. All just in time for some memorable players to enjoy. Fast forward to the fall of 1956. A new teacher and coach had been hired but became ill. Sam Kreklau, who farmed near Alsen, was hired to coach the team for one year. Osnabrock’s basketball team had qualified for state in 1954 (came in second), 1955 (won the title) and 1956 (ended up in third place). Alsen thought they could do it as well. It only took them 64 points to beat Clyde and 60 to beat Sarles. Calvin was next and then came Hannah with 88 points on the Alsen side. Eighty-eight seemed to be a favorite number to shoot for. Kenneth Towers and Paul Glock were often the high point men, but scoring was evenly divided most of the time. They went on to win the county

SAFELY
tournament, beating St. Alphonsus, Milton, and Langdon varsity in the process and then came Osnabrock - still a strong team. Alsen won by ten points and were on their way. They won the conference, the district and the region and were off to state where they hung on until the championship round and then won over the team from Taylor. Paul Glock had one game of 30 points which was unusual for a single player on this team. When the dust
settled, Paul and Ken Towers were names all the newspaper reporters and sports announcers knew. Both graduated that year, A new coach came in the fall of 1957 named Robert Morehouse. He was very tall and had played college basketball with one game where he had scored 64 points by himself! Team scoring stats went up, with 88 points in the first game, and kept climbing. In January they had a game score of 113 over Hansboro 34. In the county tournament they defeated Wales 87-56 for the championship. At Hampden, the score was 99-32. No three-point shots apparently. District was at Munich and Regional at Park River. Then the suitcases were packed for State, held that year at Jamestown, where they handily won the preliminary games. The final opponent was Fort Totten. Alsen led in the first minute 2-0. They trailed or tied until the last 15 seconds of the game when the score read Alsen 46, Fort Totten 49. Ray Herbel made two free throws making the score 48-49. Fort Totten was bouncing in when Herbel stole the ball, passed it to Donald Spenst who sent up a left-handed shot and Alsen won, 50-49. Players of the game were Donald Spenst and Gilbert Herbel according to the Forum and Herald. I would like to thank the former players and fans who helped to compile this information.

Langdon’s blood drive brings in 42 volunteers Langdon community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on August 19 at St. Alphonsus Church which helped collect a total of 43 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 42 individuals volunteered to donate blood and 36 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on August 19. A total of seven donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. There were two people who volunteered for the first time. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Sherry Buchweitz, who coordinated the drive, as well as others who assisted the day of the drive: Courtney Metzger, Hillary Girodoat, Katy Snobeck, Morgan Buchweitz, Susie Borgen, Emma Field, and Brynn Fischer. 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. 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. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donor rewards program. The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on: October 19, 2020. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.
