Sew On & Sew North, owned by Peggy Davis, hosted a Sew Together Tuesday tutorial on September 7 at Noon CST. Sew Together Tuesday is a teaching video series by Shannon Fabrics, maker of Cuddle® minky, a plush, soft, furry stretch fabric. Teresa Coates, national educator for Shannon Fabrics, and videographer Jason Hawke livestreamed the show from Davis’s fabric shop. “It was a great experience,” said Davis. “They are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We learned a lot, and everybody loved it!” Coates started making Facebook live videos for beginners about two years ago. During the pandemic it evolved into Sew Together Tuesday. The videos are free to watch on Facebook, You Tube, and their website. Patterns are free to download so you can print off the pattern
and follow along. This spring they decided to take Sew Together Tuesday on the road. They surveyed shop owners, and Davis responded. About two weeks later, Coates emailed Davis asking if she would be interested in hosting a Sew Together Tuesday at her shop with Coates teaching
a class or two. Davis enthusiastically said yes, as did all shop owners who were offered this opportunity. Coates announced the summer itinerary of dates and locations for the
Chris Norton to speak at Langdon Area High School By Linda Timian Republican Writer In 2010 while playing in a college football game, Chris Norton suffered a spinal cord injury. He was 18 years old at the time. Doctors gave him just a 3 percent chance of ever moving again from the neck down. He defied those odds. After years of physical therapy and training, he successfully walked across his college graduation stage in 2015 with the help of his fiancée Emily. His story went viral and touched the world, receiving over 300 million views. Chris Norton will be speaking at the Langdon Area High School on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, at 1:00 pm. “We will have our 7-12 students attend that day and other local schools are invited along with the public,” said LAHS Principal Ethen Askvig. “We also plan to air the presentation live on Cardinal Vision that day for anyone interested at home. For individuals that wish to attend in person, we simply ask that you call the school the week of the presentation for any Covid mitigation procedures,” said

Askvig. Norton will also be visiting Grafton, Park River, and Cavalier High Schools on Monday, October 4; Harvey High School on Tuesday, October 5; and Devils Lake High School on Wednesday, October 6. The Pregnancy Help Center in Park River, ND,
was instrumental in bringing Norton to the area and arranging his appearances at local schools. Norton is a motivational speaker and has been listed as one of the “hottest keynote speakers in the country.” His Power To Stand message talks about how adversity is universal and affects everyone. Every person and organization will face adversity, uncertainty, and change. The successful ones

find The Power to Stand, to be resilient and learn how to respond and adapt. He believes that people are more resilient than they think is possible, and once they know that, they will be empowered to stand in the face of adversity. You can read more about Chris and Emily Norton’s journey in The Seven Longest Yards. Cowritten in 2019, the book shares their story from each of their perspectives - their love, trusting God, leaning on the help of others, and tackling the seven longest yards down the aisle at their wedding. The foreword is written by Tim Tebow, who called the book “a master class in the power of perseverance.” On February 23rd of this year, 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story was released. 7 Yards is a feature-length documentary telling Chris’s inspirational story and his journey from college athlete to medical miracle to viral inspiration and now adoptive father. The film explores the resilience and perspective cont. on page 2

During the livestream, Hawke films using his phone mounted in a techy handheld device. He asks pertinent questions, interacts with Coates, and points out important details. At the home office, someone adds banners along the bottom of the livestream, which may be additional information, answers to questions, websites, etc. Coates also taught a class that evening at the Langdon Research Extension Center with 19 in attendance. “The ladies loved it,” said Davis. “Everybody got done with their projects, and we had Hank’s Ice Sew On & Sew North hostCream as our ed "Sew Together Tuesday" little dessert on Sept. 7.

Choice launches child care grant program By Linda Timian Republican Writer Licensed child care providers have a new source of financial assistance through the Choice Bank Child Care Grant Program. After the success and positive feedback of the previous Day Care Gala fundraiser, the Choice Bank Board of Directors decided to create a grant p r o gram t h a t c a n provide grants in all of the communities they serve. “We see this as an extreme need and are making it a priority to stand behind it,” said Todd Borchardt, Choice Bank President at the Langdon location. “It will help sustain the childcare providers and have a high impact. It is another initiative where we are trying to give back to the communities we are in.” In the first week after the launch of the grant, Borchardt fielded several phone calls from interested providers. The demand for child care services far exceeds the cur-
rent capacity of licensed child care providers in North Dakota. According to Child Care Aware ND, there are over 120,000 children potentially needing care in North Dakota, yet the licensed child care capacity statewide is less than 37,000. “Without child care in the community, a lot of business would have trouble finding s t a f f ,” s a i d B o r chardt. The goal of the grant p ro gram is to p ro vide financial assistance to licensed rural child care facilities in North Dakota to support their facility’s start-up costs, replacement or expansion costs, and one-time operating expenses. All licensed child care providers are eligible for the grant, whether they provide in-home child care services or operate a child care center, and are encouraged to utilize this grant opportunity. The money can be used to support of costs associated with establishing a new child care cont. on page 2

N.D. Rural Health Clinic network launches statewide A new network for certified Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) throughout the state of North Dakota has been developed through the Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences. The North Dakota Rural Health Clinic Network will make a difference for healthcare in the state by bridging knowledge and expertise across health systems. “The Rural Health Clinic Network will be an opportunity for RHCs to share information about best practices, Conditions for Certification, and any other common themes among ND RHCs,” said Anna Walter, project coordinator for the Network. The Rural Health Clinic Network was created this summer to provide a platform for North Dakota RHCs. Participants will receive support for Conditions for Certification, quality and performance improvement, and to improve communication and collaboration among healthcare providers to best serve the rural health organizations and their communities. There are 54 RHCs in North Dakota. The model for the Network is based off of the Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Quality Network that has been in existence at the Center
FRIDAY - MONDAY AT 7:30 P.M.
for Rural Health since 2007. The CAH Quality Network has been wildly successful and has all 36 CAHs in the state as members. Goals • Assist RHCs to meet Conditions for Certification for compliance • Allow access to an online virtual library of resources and network webpage • Provide RHC-focused educational opportunities • Offer a platform for shared learning across North Dakota RHCs Benefits • Central coordination/liaison working on behalf of RHCs with stakeholders • Direct technical assistance for RHCs to improve healthcare • Assistance for RHCs with identification of top statewide needs • Access to timely information that is applicable to RHCs • RHC-focused educational opportunities Funding is provided by the North Dakota Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility (Flex) Program and
the North Dakota State Office of Rural Health program. Flex is a federally funded Health Resources and Services Administration grant that provides for the creation of rural health networks, promotes regionalization of rural health services, and improves access to hospital and other services for rural residents. SORH is a federal-state partnership that helps rural communities build their healthcare services through collaborations and initiatives with a wide range of partners across the state, with funding provided through the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy. About the Center for Rural Health Established in 1980 at the University of North Dakota, the Center for Rural Health is one of the nation’s most experienced rural health organizations. It has developed a full complement of programs to assist researchers, educators, policymakers, healthcare providers, and most important, rural residents to address changing rural environments by identifying and researching rural health issues, analyzing health policy, strengthening local capabilities, developing community-based alternatives, and advocating for rural concerns.

Langdon Area School Board holds regular meeting By Kristi Mostoller Republican Writer The Langdon School Board met Monday, September 20, for their regular scheduled meeting. Minutes from the previous meeting were tabled until the business manager could be present. The financial reports were approved. There was a short discussion on the hot lunch program having hickups with a food vendor. With the lack of truck drivers, it has caused issues for many schools. The superintendent's report included details about the “Alive at 25” defensive driving coarse. This course is 4 hours and for grades 9-12. The cost is $4500 to offer it to grades 9-12. A $1000 grant was received and there is a community source that is interested in donating the remaining $3500. Mr. Christianson would like to offer this course still this fall. The elementary principal reported about the MTSS testing. These tests are to help target interventions for students that need more help in certain areas. The COVID response policy team for the elementary discussed splitting larger classes when students test positive in that class. Several classes combine for certain subjects, and the splitting is to slow or prevent spreading of COVID. The building committee reported the missing rooftop unit is up and working and are hoping by the end of the month to have everything done at the high school school for current projects. They are looking at grants for sanitized lighting in classrooms. These UV lights have filters that are good for 9,000 hours. These lights are used in operating rooms already. The problem with the UV lights is the filters are around
$500-$600 per unit. The grant money would cover the lights but likely not the filters in the future. The lighting would still work without replacing the filters. It was requested to change the return to learning plan masking policy so the school were split when it comes to 5 cases for masking. The discussion brought up students and teachers that may go back and forth, or students from both schools riding the bus. Also, the number 5 was questioned to be raised for the high school as the high school students have the option to get vaccinated. It was agreed to separate the schools meaning that the 5 cases threshold would trigger the mask requirement while in motion for each school separately. For bus transportation, students need to sit in pods or assigned seats as it has been. For sporting events, it was agreed there needs to be uniformity. Attendees at events are to sit with family or social group before they remove masks if wearing masks in motion is required. Cases are monitored on a weekto-week basis and checked on Fridays. The attendance policy was discussed. Currently the policy in place says if a student misses 10+ days with either excused or unexcused absences, they need to go before the board to get credit for those classes. It was suggested that if some of those 10+ absences were due to documented healthcare reasons, then administration could use their judgment regarding passing of classes with the student always having the option to go before the board if they disagree with administration's decision. The problems in the past were students not showing up or parents writing notes and the
students aren’t where they said they were going to be. The student still has to be passing the class and turning in the work required. The change was approved. Absences being tied to semester testing is still being looked into. The next scheduled meeting will be held October 18, 2021.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Negatory Big Ben Maybe you’ve heard the phrase “negatory Big Ben?” It was CB radio lingo from a song called Convoy by C.W. McCall that played on radio stations in 1976. Messages like “breaker one nine, what’s your 10-20, 10-4, it’s clear to flag town, gonna put the hammer down, 10-4” and an endless list of slang language was commonly used on citizen band radio. Most of us had them in our cars during the second half of the ‘70s. Some of us actually used them to communicate, some of us thought it was a status symbol and still others had them installed for safety, in case we were caught in a blizzard. In the ‘70s, most of us who were teenagers and guys into our early 20s had to have a CB radio in our car or pickup. It was usually mounted under the dash with a microphone the size of a Volkswagen. Everybody had them. Some of us would drive around downtown Aberdeen on Friday nights chattering on the CB. Some of us went up to Winnipeg and cruised Portage Avenue, and when the car stereo wasn’t cranked up, the CB radio was blasting its “breaker one-niner.” Some of us wore out the pavement on Main Avenue in Bismarck and by the fall of 1977, the radio traffic on channel 19 got so intense in Bismarck, some of us got smart enough to move the conversations to channel 5. I could never understand that. Almost every CB radio was a 40-channel radio, yet we crammed every conversation into either channel 19 or channel 5. But channel 5 was the place to be, at least in Bismarck. We found out that girls who had CB radios and were out cruising; they preferred channel 5 so if we wanted to talk to girls, it was channel 5. Otherwise, when we would key the mic and say “breaker one-niner,” some old truck driver with a gravely voice would come on and say, “what’s your 10-20 son?” The answer, “cruisin’ the hardball downtown.” We all had names for our CB radios and the FCC assigned us call letters after we applied for a license. Even though the signal could only travel about a half mile, it was still transmitting a signal and the FCC
had to license it. I still remember my call letters were KBNG, and because I frequently went to Winnipeg at the time, it was CBNG on the Canadian side, but none of us ever used the official call signs. We were called Rubber Duckie, Hot Cargo, Thin Ice, Ice Man, Haystack Maker, Drover’s Dream and others. Mine was a little more subtle. Since my dad and I cut down a lot of trees in those days and used the firewood to heat the house, I picked up the “handle” Dakota Woodcutter. My dad was “Woodcutter 1,” as if we were some big shots in the logging industry. It stuck, at least for awhile. By 1979, CB radios were on the way out, at least for passenger cars. For some reason people didn’t continue using them like over-the-road truck drivers did. In fact, truckers still use CB radios a lot to communicate from one truck to another. Some farmers still use CB radios in their tractors and combines, but hardly anyone else makes use of them any longer. The other day I was digging through some boxes in the garage looking for something I couldn’t find, right? You know, there’s something you put in that box 30 years ago, so it should be there now? Instead, I found the CB radio that was mounted in my first car, a brown 1970 Ford Torino that looked like it came right out of the projects. The CB is a Cobra 29, which to my amazement, is still sold for about $130. These new models look almost identical to what I had in 1977, so here is a product that hasn’t changed in 45 years. Sometimes I wonder if the thing would still function if I hooked it up, but there’s really no reason for it since the mobile phone is the big thing these days. Besides, the cell phone operates on a much higher frequency than the CB radio so isn’t effected by sharp lightning. If you get zapped by lightning while on the CB radio, it’s going to crackle loudly despite it being on the megahertz band. CB frequencies range from 26.96 to 27.40 MHz, which is similar to FM radio but much lower on the frequency range than FM radio which is 88 to 108 MHz. No doubt, CBs were a lot of fun, but it was a short amount of time. They were a fad, a flash in the pan as it were. Maybe they could make a comeback, okie dokie smokey, East bound and down!

Through the mists of time: Origins of the right to privacy Although not mentioned in the Constitution, the right to privacy has been invoked by its enormous following as thoroughly American and indispensable to our conception of liberty and freedom. Its partisans have expressed numerous reasons for its exalted status in the hearts and minds of the citizenry. It prevents the government from spying on the people. It protects personal data. It protects freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It protects one’s reputation, voting rights and participation in politics. While not everyone agrees with the application, enforcement and scope, the right to privacy, the Supreme Court has held, also encompasses the use of contraception, access to abortion and, of course, privacy in our homes. The right to privacy is not enumerated in the Constitution. Its lack of textual paternity is not unique; the right to travel, the right to marriage and the freedom of association, universally valued by Americans, are other examples of unenumerated rights. Nor does the textual omission make them less important than enumerated rights; invariably, every right and liberty requires interpretation by the courts. For many, the puzzling part of the right to privacy is its origins. Like other rights and liberties, the right to privacy enters the annals of Anglo-American legal history through mere assertions that form a rhetorical tradition, embraced and prized by its beneficiaries which, in this instance, refers to those who, centuries ago, were fortunate enough to have homes. The immediate gateway is the Fourth Amendment, which provides protection from unreasonable searches and seizures of one’s property. Prior to the American Revolution, there was scant evidence of a right to be secure in one’s home from unreasonable search and seizure. English law and practice permitted governmental ransacking of private homes and places of business upon the flimsiest pretexts of illegal possessions, especially whenever the prospects for British revenue gleaned from taxation schemes were at stake.

Through the mists of time, we can discern a tradition that forges a path to the Fourth Amendment and the right to privacy. The majestic Magna Carta, written in 1215, and exalted as the basis for English liberty, as well as the legal conceptions of due process and equal protection, both fundamental to American Constitutionalism, was linked in the 16th Century to the fiction that a man’s home is his castle. A clerk of the Privy Council — Robert Beale — connected the dots in 1589, when he asked, rhetorically, what had happened to Chapter 39 of Magna Carta, which provided the basis for the law of the land, when agents of the prerogative courts could, on the basis of general search warrants, enter men’s homes, “break up chests and chambers” and cart away as evidence whatever they pleased. Beale’s conversion of Chapter 39 into a ban on general search warrants influenced Americans’ thinking about privacy rights in their homes. It was a masterful speech to Parliament by William Pitt in 1763 that summoned the idyllic symbol of a “man’s castle” assaulted by unlawful governmental intrusions that played upon the heartstrings of Americans in defending the privacy of their homes. Pitt famously stated, “The poorest man may, in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England may not enter; all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.” The repetition of this argument against general search warrants by great English legal scholars and statesmen created a tradition that was eagerly embraced by Americans, striving for ways to limit English assaults on their homes and businesses. In 1756, the Massachusetts Bay colony passed legislation that prohibited general searches and required some elements of particularity. This landmark legislation would pave the way for the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. What was missing on the American scene, however, was the sort of drama embodied in William Pitt’s speech to Parliament, a moment that might captivate the citizenry and become a cause. That moment, that drama, was supplied by a brilliant young Boston attorney, James Otis Jr. who, in 1761, in Paxton’s case, represented American colonists offended by the British practice of issuing writs of assistance, a kind of general warrant, issued in the name of the King, that empowered the agent to

mandated companies with more than 100 employees to get vaccinated or get fined $14,000 per violation (person) and OSHA will supervise it. The military and federal workers are also mandated. Why are Congress and staff, federal judges, postal workers, refugees and illegals exempt? Some states prohibit the vaccinations, so who is in power? At least 27 governors are suing. What about natural immunity, already had it, religious exemptions, personal responsibility or my body my choice? It usually takes up to 7 years for FDA approval. What is in the vaccines?

enlist the help of English subjects — American colonists — to aid the search. Otis’ arguments rehearsed those presented by Beale and Pitt, and other English statesmen, and followed the familiar rhetorical tradition of asserting that the right in question had existed since time immemorial. Otis’ plea was futile, of course, for he was arguing before a panel of English judges committed to pleasing King George III, but he made history and, in the words of John Adams, who had decided to attend the argument so that he could watch the brilliant young lawyer at work, “Otis was a flame of fire!” He later wrote of Otis’ argument and eloquence: “Then and there the child Independence was born.” Otis told the court that the only legitimate and constitutional warrant was a “specific” one, directed to specific officers, to search “certain” houses, upon an oath sworn by the person who believes certain goods to be concealed in those places. A writ that permitted a customs officer to enter private homes upon bare suspicion violated the essential liberty of every English subject, that of enjoying the benefits of a “man’s castle.” With an eye to history yet to unfold, Otis declared that such a writ represented a violation of the English Constitution and should be held by the court to be null and void. Otis’ constitutional arguments lit the way for subsequent state legislation that required specificity in search warrants. His influence on American Constitutionalism, immeasurable in so many ways, was easily calculated in its impact on specific requirements for searches and seizures. Adams borrowed Otis’ learned courtroom reasoning in writing Article XIV of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights of 1780. James Madison also drew upon Otis in his introduction of what became the Fourth Amendment. While the right to privacy entered American law through the Fourth Amendment, it found expression and defense in other provisions of the Bill of Rights. We turn to that discussion next week.

adults didn’t need it, now they do. Biden recently said “We need to protect the vaccinated against the unvaccinated”. Hmmm. If you are vaccinated, why wear a mask or hide behind a shield? Anyone with hearing disability can’t read lips and it is hard to understand words through a mask. They hinder breathing and are bad for asthmatics. Why still six feet distancing? How many have really died from the virus? How many from other causes? Are the numbers inflated to promote anxiety? Do hospitals get paid for numbers? Where is the science? Or is this about creating fear and control through the media and politics? Marlene Kouba Regent, ND

Dakota Gardener: The amazing chemistry of fall colors
By Joe Zeleznik, Forester NDSU Extension The sumacs started changing color last week. I noticed them on my drive to work on Tuesday morning. I look forward to seeing fall colors each year. While yellow is dominant in our forests, splashes of red, burgundy and sometimes orange brighten up the scenery. The chemistry of autumn colors is fascinating. The four main groups of biochemicals responsible for fall colors are chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and tannins. Each has its own color and chemistry. Varying amounts of these chemicals give subtle variations in color from one leaf to the next or even from tree-totree. Chlorophyll The green color that we see in plant leaves throughout the spring and summer is due to the pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the main compound that gathers energy from sunlight in the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs both the blue and the red wavelengths from sunlight and reflects the green wavelengths. Nitrogen is one of the main components of chlorophyll. As days get shorter and temperatures get cooler, chlorophyll is broken down faster than it’s produced. The majority of the nitrogen migrates back to the
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Suicide Prevention Month As the leaves fall and the seasons change, the atmosphere of the impending winter to come looms in the minds of some. Winter can be a difficult time for some people mentally and emotionally. Sometimes, all year round is a struggle depending on the situation and life circumstances. The important thing to remember is that there is help for those people that struggle with depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and is a great time to get educated about this important topic that affects all communities, including our own. Suicide is often thought of as something that shouldn’t be spoken about. It is a difficult topic to discuss and certainly isn’t in most people’s “comfort zone.” There are several reasons for this including, but not limited to, the fact that it’s difficult to know what to say and how to say it, it’s difficult for some to understand, and often times there is a feeling of judgement associated with the term. It’s time to stop the stigma, and people are beginning to head in the right direction. Let’s continue the movement forward to help the members of our families and community. Evidence shows that asking others if they are having thoughts of suicide does not increase their odds of completing suicide but does increase their odds of getting help.

twigs, being placed in storage for next year’s new growth. As chlorophyll breaks down, the carotenoids are revealed. Carotenoids Many of the yellows and oranges we see in nature are the result of the various carotenoid compounds. Carotenoids play a minor role in photosynthesis, so they’re present throughout the growing season but are only revealed when chlorophyll breaks down. Carotenoids are dominant in North Dakota’s native trees each fall. We see a lot of yellow. Some years the leaves are a bright, golden yellow while other years may produce soft, dull yellow-to-brown foliage. Brilliant colors are more often seen when fall weather is warm, sunny days and cool nights between 32 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Anthocyanins The reds and purples we see – like in the sumacs I saw last week – are due to the anthocyanin compounds. These are produced when sugars combine with compounds called anthocyanidins. Many things affect the exact color produced by anthocyanins, including the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the cell sap in the leaves. With an acid pH, anthocyanins are often red; in alkaline solution they become purple-toblue. Many tree cultivars are known for their purple color during the growing season. Purple-leaf sand-
NDSU Extension Notes
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) states the following facts about suicide: • 78% of all people who die by suicide are male. • Although more women than men attempt suicide, men are nearly 4x more likely to die by suicide. • Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10–34 and the 10th leading cause of death overall in the U.S. • The overall suicide rate in the U.S. has increased by 35% since 1999. • 46% of people who die by suicide had a diagnosed mental health condition. The first order of action to try to prevent suicide is to know the risk factors. NAMI states the following as warning signs: • Increased alcohol and drug use • Aggressive behavior • Withdrawal from friends, family, and community • Dramatic mood swings • Impulsive or reckless behavior Suicidal behaviors are a psychiatric emergency. If you or a loved one starts to take any of these steps, seek immediate help from a health care provider or call 911: • Collecting and saving pills or buying a weapon • Giving away possessions • Tying up loose ends, like organizing personal papers or paying off debts • Saying goodbye to friends and family The great thing about knowing the risk factors and behaviors, having those difficult discussions about suicidal thoughts and ideas, and being brave enough to spread awareness is that there is help, and there is hope. There are great resources such as the National Alliance of Mental Illness (https://www.nami.org/ get-involved/awareness-events/ suicide-prevention-awarenessmonth), the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (https://

cherry, ‘Schubert’ (or ‘Canada Red’) chokecherry and ‘Thunderchild’ flowering crabapple are found in many North Dakota cities and towns. Because anthocyanins need sugar for their creation, weather conditions that favor sugar production – i.e., photosynthesis – are essential. Bright, sunny fall days produce the best colors. Very little photosynthesis will occur on cloudy days while rain can actually leach out the anthocyanins and carotenoids from the leaves. Various combinations of anthocyanins and carotenoids can result in yellow, orange and red leaves all on the same tree. A number of native shrubs and vines produce red and burgundy fall colors in North Dakota. The sumacs are usually brilliant red. My wife learned a technique to transfer the sumacs’ color onto fabric that she then works into her quilts. It’s pretty cool. Viburnums are often a muted burgundy-red. The native viburnums in North Dakota include American cranberrybush, arrowwood and nannyberry. All of the viburnums have edible fruit, though the only one I’ve eaten is cranberrybush. It’s awfully tart! Even poison ivy leaves can become a muted purple in the fall. Let’s face it though, that’s really the only good thing that I can say about poison ivy. Happy Fall!

What comes to mind when you think of King David’s bravery? A picture of guerrilla warfare in the mountains of Judea? The time he killed Goliath with a sling and a stone? He was brave then, certainly. But these amazing feats cannot compare to the audacity of his prayers. David was bravest when he was praying: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24) In this psalm, David wants nothing to do with sin. He views sin like Goliath— an enemy to be knocked down and beheaded without mercy. He pleads with God to search out even a hint of malignancy in his heart and to ruthlessly cut it out so he can remain fully abandoned to his God. Wow! How often do we pray
like that? I know I don’t usually go out of my way to discover sin in my own life. That’s uncomfortable! I’m usually content to sit back and wait for God to show me something, and when he does, sometimes it takes me a while to respond as David does in this verse. Compared to David, I’m a coward. Is it possible that we are less courageous than David because we don’t fully trust God? But there’s nothing to fear. There is no person more tender, more compassionate, more forgiving, and more deserving of ruling in our hearts. Sure, he wants all of us. In fact, he has a right to our entire being, but we’re in good hands. He’s a patient counselor who turns one page of our hearts at a time and says, “Will you give me this today? Will you trust me to gently cut this out of your life?”

North Dakota’s border-to-border tour From the southern edge of North Dakota up to the Canadian border, there are monumental sights to see along North Dakota’s Highway 281. Here are some destination ideas on how to plan your multi-day adventure through lakes country. Highway 281 Day 1 | Ellendale + Jamestown Begin the day with breakfast at the Fireside Steakhouse and Lodge in Ellendale. Tour the Coleman Museum or historic Opera House, one of Ellendale’s oldest attractions before you take to the road for Jamestown. Towering over the prairie stands Dakota Thunder, the world’s largest buffalo monument. See if you can spot the buffalo herd roaming the area behind the giant monument and tour the National Buffalo Museum to learn more about their role in American history. Find a hands-on learning experience throughout the 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse or get some fresh air and follow the trails along Pipestem Lake or the Jamestown Reservoir. End the evening at Sabir’s Buffalo Grill and see what’s happening at The Hansen Arts Park across the street. Day 2 | Jamestown + Pingree + Carrington Enjoy a hot coffee and chill atmosphere at Babb’s Coffee House in Jamestown before you head to a birder’s paradise in Pingree. The Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge plays host to 13 species of ducks and geese, and several species of shorebirds. See how many you can spot among the trees and shoreline as you hike or bike the Wildlife Refuge’s leg of the national recreation trail. This 9-mile historic trail connects the former military posts of Fort Seward near Jamestown and Fort Totten near Devils Lake. Next, stop in Carrington and visit Ostlie’s Sunnyside Acres where you can schedule a tour of the farm, workshop session, or pick seasonal berries. Order a meal at the Chieftain Sports Bar & Grill and close out the evening with a round on the greens at CrossRoads golf course.
3 | New Rockford + Devils Lake Let yourself sleep in before ordering up breakfast and perusing the gift store at The Garden Gate. Don’t pass through New Rockford without exploring their historic downtown opera house which hosts a theater, coffee shop, wine bar and dance studio. Pop into the Baker’s Dozen for some fresh baked bread and a steaming bowl of soup to fill you up. Browse the Eddy County Museum’s collection of artifacts throughout their schoolhouse, church and train depot buildings and then hit the road again for Devils Lake. Visit Fort Totten State Historic Site to learn about its time as a military post and community and day school. Take advantage of Devils Lake’s four seasons of fishing, cast a reel from the shoreline or rent a boat to see how you fair among the local fishermen. Enjoy a meal indoors or around the fire pit at Proz Lakeside at the Cove then go for an evening stroll and enjoy the unique landscape along the trails of Graham’s Island State Park. See how many constellations you can spot in the night sky before heading into the cabins for the evening. Day 4 | Cando + Belcourt + Dunseith Go for a morning stroll through the Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge to see migrating waterfowl overhead. Enjoy some breakfast from the Cozy Cafe in Cando then continue north to Belcourt and experience the vibrant multi-cultural traditions from the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) and the Metis/Cree people at the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Heritage Center. Wrap up your road trip with a walk through the formal gardens along the border of the U.S. and Canada at the International Peace Garden, one of the continent’s most symbolic and scenic attractions. Find more attractions, diners, and accommodations at belegendary.link/RoadTrips to personalize this border-to-border tour for your own legendary North Dakota adventure.

Prairie Fare: Be inspired by fall colors and add veggies to your plate or bowl
My husband pointed out some yellow and orange leaves the other day as we drove down the street. I knew exactly what he was going to say. I turned and looked at him. I could have mouthed the words. “In a couple months, this will all be covered by snow,” he said. He probably knew what I was going to say. “It’s not snowing yet. Let’s just enjoy the season,” I responded. We both enjoy fall and the changing colors. Neither of us is a huge fan of the long, cold month of January in particular. I did reconnect with the snow blower after he had shoulder surgery a year ago. He was not supposed to do snow removal. I didn’t let him, anyway. He kept watching me like a hawk as I attempted to clear the driveway with a 200-pound mechanical octopus. I suppose I could continue to help with snow removal. However, he is fine now. I think I will stay inside this year and make soup and bread. Autumn is my favorite season for both the crisp temperatures and the beautiful landscape. I think autumn can be a good reminder to include more colors of nature on our plates. Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthful diet. They provide fiber, vitamins such as vitamins A and C, and minerals such as potassium to maintain health. Eating enough fruits and vegetables may help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, Type II diabetes and cancer. Aim to have a variety of fruits and vegetables in your daily diet because different colors of fruits and vegetables provide different nutrients. Eating more low-calorie vegetables and fruits may help you reduce your calorie intake, which may help with weight management. This week I have a 13-item buy-

ing and storing checklist for you to consider. For each of the following sentences, give yourself a point if you follow these tips. Your reward is high-quality vegetables and less food waste. When you select vegetables, which of these tips do you already use? I buy in season. Vegetables that are purchased in season usually will be the best quality and give you the best buy. I consider the storage available, and I buy only what I can store and use within the recommended time. I handle produce gently because the bruised parts are most likely to spoil. I pick frozen vegetables that are frozen solid and get them to my freezer as quickly as possible. I buy canned vegetables in cans without sharp dents in the seams. (Dents in the seams are more likely to leak and spoil.) I buy dried vegetables in tightly sealed, undamaged packages. When you store vegetables, which of these tips do you already use? I store the vegetables properly. Most fresh vegetables should be kept cold and humid. To increase storage humidity, I keep vegetables in a plastic bag or in the hydrator (crisper) compartment of the refrigerator, or both. For best quality, I do not refrigerate hard-shell (winter) squash. Store them at cool room temperature; about 50 degrees Fahrenheit is best. Potatoes should be kept in a cool, dark and dry place. I sort vegetables before storing and remove any with bruises or soft spots. I store frozen vegetables at 0 F or lower. At freezer temperatures, frozen vegetables can be stored for eight to 12 months. They are safe as long as they remain frozen, but quality can decrease through time. I label canned goods with the date of purchase and store them in a cool, dry place. I store dried vegetables in an air-
tight container in a cool, dry place. I use them within a few months. Here’s a nod to the German-Russian heritage in North Dakota. This recipe was submitted to our upcoming “Growing Together” cookbook by Rosemary Jones. I can attest that it was delicious. If you prefer, add one pound of beef chunks and use beef broth in place of vegetable broth. Borscht (Beet and Vegetable Soup) 2-3 large beets, peeled and diced 1 large onion, diced 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 carrots, diced 6 c. water or vegetable broth 2 large potatoes, diced 2 large tomatoes, diced ½ medium cabbage, cut into strips 1 bay leaf ¼ c. lemon juice Salt and pepper (to taste) 1 tsp. dill ½ c. fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional) Add vegetable oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot and heat on medium. Add onions and sauté until soft, then add garlic and sauté briefly. Add broth and/or water and heat until simmering. Add carrots, beets, potatoes, cabbage and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add bay leaf, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Simmer until all vegetables are tender (20 to 30 minutes). Add chopped herbs and adjust seasonings if needed.

Cavalier County Republican
Cardinals run their way to win at Thompson 38-18 Tetrault scores 4 TDs in win
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals embarked on a tough three-game stretch in their schedule when they played at Thompson on Sept. 17. The Cards came up with some big second half running plays to win the game 38-18. The win puts the Cardinals record at 5-0 overall and 3-0 in Northeast Region games. It was also the 43rd win in a row for the Cardinals football program. Langdon-Edmore-Munich has a big game at home Sept. 24 versus Harvey-Wells County then will travel to Hillsboro-Central Valley in Hillsboro on Oct. 1. In their game at Thompson, the Cardinals got off to what's been their traditional fast start in the game. After holding the Tommies to a three and out, the Cards went down and scored on a perfectly timed screen pass from Rayce Worley to Carter Tetrault, which was followed by a two-point conversion from Worley to Tucker Welsh to make the score 8-0. After withstanding a fake punt by Thompson, the Cards got the ball again and scored just before the end of the first quarter on a Worley nine-yard run. In the second quarter, LangdonEdmore-Munich scored a touchdown on fourth and goal from the
Tommies 15-yard line on a pass from Worley that Markus Kingzett climbed the ladder for to bring it to a 20-0 lead. Thompson would not give up, and they worked their way for a score just before halftime on a 32yard pass from Kyle Odenbach to Tyler Cunningham to make it 20-6 at the half. The Cardinals opened up the second half with another great screen pass play call from Worley to Tetrualt to bring the lead back to 20 only to see the Tommies answer again on a controversial touchdown catch by Jake Starcevic from Odenbach. Each time Thompson would get close, the Cardinals would answer, and their offensive line paved the way for two huge running plays and TDs by Tetrault. Zack Rostvet, Gage Goodman, Alex Gellner, Mason Romfo and Cole Welsh opened up two big holes for long scores by Tetrault of 62 and 45 yards to clinch the win. Tetrault finished with 138 yards rushing with 130 in the second half. Jack Romfo had 95 yards on nine carries and did a great job defensively despite being double-teamed on nearly every play. Worley had 142 yards passing, and Tetrault had 55 yards receiving followed by Kingzett with 54. Odenbach had 174 yards passing and Starcevic 93

Lady Cards volleyball suffers a tough injury We have sad news to report this week, as the Langdon-EdmoreMunich volleyball has had a set back. Sophomore middle hitter Cora Badding suffered a knee injury during warmups recently and as a result, has to have season ending surgery. This is a big loss to the team, and was rather bizarre being it was a non-contact injury. Now, Cardinals volleyball fans can most likely remember that this has happened to players in the past (Some more than once), but the one good thing about it is that all came back fully recovered and played better than ever. Cora is a three sport athlete in Langdon, and one thing we know is that she will work hard in her recovery and do what it takes to come back hopefully stronger than before. It certainly doesn't hurt that her Mom is a physical therapist. We are so sorry to hear about Cora's injury, but she has a gigantic support group to help her through these tough times. When the injury happened, the Lady Cards were just about to go on the court to face Central Cass in a match in Carrington on Sept. 18. The team rallied and played for their fallen teammate, beating the Squirrels in five games. Senior Morgan Freije had a remarkable 34 kills in that match, which is second alltime in Cardinals program history, behind only Brianna Stremick, who had 39 kills in a state tournament match versus Thompson in 2004, which is still a record to this day. So Freije is not only in rarified air and her 34 kills, but she also recently went over 1,000 kills in her career in a match at Rolette, just the eighth Cardinal to do so. So it's been good times and bad times for the Lady Cards recently, and hopefully they can keep rallying to continue a successful season.
State Class B Golf Tournament coming to Carrington Just about to complete its fall season, the State Class B Girls Golf Meet is ready to be held in Carrington at Crossroads Golf Course Sept 27-28. As we told you last week, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals will be competing in it as a team, and also Addi Brown from North Border and Elle Nicholas from North Star will compete on an individual level. We wish the Cards and all area players the best of luck at State, and we will have tourney results in next week's Republican. Cardinals football continues big stretch, faces biggest road challenge of the season We also told you last week that the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team is in a big three stretch to their season that should determine is they will be at home or on the road for the playoffs. Of course nothing is guaranteed yet for the postseason, but the Cards can make huge strides in that department if they keep adding up the wins. Langdon-Edmore-Munich won at Thompson on the road on Sept. 17, but had a huge game at home versus Harvey-Wells County on Sept. 24, and face another big challenge in the week ahead. The Cardinals will play at HillsboroCentral Valley, a team they haven't played since beating them for the State Class A Football Championship in 2018. The Burros and Cardinals are in the division and region this year, also for the first time in several years. H-CV brings a very deep team to the table -- they have over 20 seniors this year -- And it should be a very fun and competitive contest. But that's why players play, for these kinds of games, and we know the Cards are looking forward to the challenge. After the game with at the Burros, the Cardinals have their last two regular season games of the year at home versus Northern Cass and Carrington. "See ya!" next week!

Lady Cards run off four straight wins despite losing one of their starters By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
It was a true definition of the term bittersweet when the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls volleyball went on their last four-game run. The Lady Cards got a 3-0 win over North Border to get things started on Sept. 16. Then, right before they were to play at Carrington for two matches on Sept. 18 with the first being against Central Cass, sophomore Cora Badding went down in warmups with a knee injury. It was found earlier this week that Cora will require season-ending knee surgery. Playing without their fallen teammate, the Cardinals pushed through and beat CC 3-2 then defeated Carrington 3-1. LangdonEdmore-Munich then went to Leeds on Sept. 21 and beat Benson County 3-0. The Cardinals now have a record of 12-1 on the season, and they do not play until an invitational tournament at Des Lacs-Burlington on Oct. 1-2. Here is a recap of their last four matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, North Border 0 In their home match versus the Eagles, the Cards made a big statement early by jumping out to an 11-1 lead in game one on their way to a 25-8 win. But give North Border credit, they came out and had leads in both games two and three of the match. Langdon-Edmore-Munich went on an 8-0 run in game two to win 25-19 and, after trailing 4-0 in game three, came back to win in a back and forth entertaining last game 2523 to win the match. Cora Badding, in what very unfortunately turned out to be her last match of the season, led the Cardinals with 21 kills followed by Morgan Freije with 14 and Morgan Thielbar with six. Jalynn Swanson had a team high 32 assists while also leading the team with five service aces. Freije and Swanson each had 15 digs. The Eagles were led
by Keira Moore with nine kills and three aces, while Megan Misson had two kills and two stuff blocks. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Central Cass 0; Langdon-EdmoreMunich 3, Carrington 1 The two matches the Lady Cards played in Carrington were to take the place of the Optimists Tournament in Valley City, which was cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. After Badding went down with the knee injury, the Cardinals rallied around the fact that one of their main players was out of the lineup, and they rose to the occasion. Morgan Freije had the best match of her great career against Central Cass by pounding 34 kills, which is the third most in Cardinals volleyball program history. Marlee Hetletved also had a career high eight kills against the Squirrels. Sophomore McKenna Schneider took Badding's spot in the lineup and rotation, and she finished with three kills and three big stuff blocks. Morgan Thielbar led the team with six aces, and Jalynn Swanson had 40 assists in the fivegame match win, which the Cards won in the fifth game 15-12. The Cardinals kept the momentum going later against Carrington, getting better each game. Freije had 20 kills and seven aces as the Cards won in four. Thielbar had a nice match with seven kills and five aces, while Freije had four blocks and Schneider three. Swanson finished with 30 assists. The Lady Cards had 102 (!) digs as a team. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Benson County 0 In their match at Leeds versus the Wildcats, Langdon-EdmoreMunich stumbled out of the gate with a number of unforced errors but still won in extra points 28-26 in game one. The Cards got stronger from there, ending up sweeping the best of five match. Morgan Freije, again, had 20 kills for the Cardinals followed by Morgan Thielbar with a career high 11. Jalynn Swanson had 33 assists, a very high number for a three-game

A milestone year for Make-A-Wish® North Dakota An impactful 38 wish children were granted their unique wishes through Make-A-Wish North Dakota in fiscal year 2021, which ended on August 31. That also includes the milestone 1000th wish for the chapter that was granted to 6-yearold Cali from Bismarck who wished to be “a Queen for a day.” Her wish was granted at the end of July and she says it was the, “best day ever.” “We roll out the red carpet for all of our wish children,” said Billi Jo Zielinski, Make-A-Wish North Dakota president and CEO. “We are humbled to be allowed into their lives at such vulnerable times to spark joy and create hope.” This milestone year for Make-AWish North Dakota was capped off with a New Fiscal Year’s Eve celebration that was livestreamed on the chapter’s Facebook Live channel. The brief program celebrated this past year’s accomplishments while looking forward to the year ahead and was co-hosted by wish child Amelia, who had her wish for a shopping spree granted in August

2020. Each child whose wish is granted faces a critical illness qualifying them to receive a wish. In addition, children must be between the ages of 2 ½ to under 18 years old and may not have already received a wish from Make-A-Wish or another wish granting organization. A granted wish has proven to be transformational in the life of a child, and something that propels them forward toward their future. In fact, new research is affirming this notion, indicating that children who receive a granted wish do better in their medical journeys than children who do not. Just as childhood illnesses do not discriminate based on factors like race, gender, ethnicity or financial position, Make-A-Wish aims to reach every eligible child. In North Dakota, it is estimated that 50 children are diagnosed each year with a qualifying illness. Therefore, we put our efforts into ensuring the medical community and the public atlarge are aware of our organization

and the strength and hope granted wishes can provide children so that any potentially eligible child is referred to Make-A-Wish. Wishes are granted by volunteer wish granters across the state, who are paired with a wish child to discover the child’s one true wish and help bring that wish to reality. Wishes are funded entirely through the private support of individuals, groups, corporations and organizations. Make-A-Wish does not receive any state or federal funding. The average wish cost is $12,700 ($7,500 cash and $5,200 in-kind goods and services). Make-A-Wish North Dakota is led by 12 volunteer board members across the state. They recently welcomed Dusty Zimmerman of Minot and Erin Beitelspacher of Moorhead.

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings September 7, 2021 On September 7, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. Greg Goodman attended via phone conference. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser added the Courthouse Maintenance position as the last agenda item. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda with the added agenda item, seconded by David Zeis; motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz informed the commission that the first reporting on the American Rescue Plan funding had been submitted, and that the county did not have a loss of revenue to report. Stanley Dick discussed the census data for Cavalier County and stated that other counties were requesting a recount. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and presented a timesheet summary for the roadmen for July and August. After reviewing more detail, the summary sheets were approved by all commissioners. Status of current road projects were reviewed. Special Road Fund project funding through NDDOT for access to recreational, tourist, and historical areas was discussed. County 23 to the Dresden Museum and the road to Mt. Carmel Dam were discussed. It was decided to have KLJ look into a project on the Mt. Carmel Dam road. Added job duties for the Road Supervisor were discussed. Moser reviewed the proposal for the Road Supervisor to supervise all roadmen, which included a $4,000/year increase in pay. Johnston made a counter offer on the compensation for the added job
duties. Nick Moser made a motion to start the added job duties on October 1, 2021 with compensation at $4,000/year with a 6-month probationary period and a possible salary increase at that time, seconded by Greg Goodman. A roll call vote was taken: Greg Goodman-yes; Stanley Dick-yes; David Zeis-no; Nick Moser-yes; Austin Lafrenz-yes. Motion carried 4 to 1. Greg Goodman discussed future gravel bids and how to verify the requested amount of gravel was being delivered. Goodman also wanted ideas on how to implement a system to verify the gravel bills received from contractors. It was decided to put this on the agenda for the next meeting. The commissioners received department updates from the following departments: Public Health, Recorder, Tax Director, Weed Control, Clerk of Court, VSO, and NVHSZ. The commissioners reviewed a proposed update to the policy manual in the holiday pay and timekeeping sections. Lisa Gellner, Auditor, stated she would send it out to the departments to review with their employees, and put it on the agenda for the next meeting for approval. Conditions were reviewed with regard to any need for a conditional burn ban. Commissioners discussed it with Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, and it was decided there has been enough moisture so there should not be a need to review conditions for the rest of the year. The Courthouse Maintenance position opening was discussed by Nick Moser. It was decided to place a help wanted ad for the position to allow time for training. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $2,235.00 from Road and Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to transfer $236.54 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Equipment Replacement Fund, seconded by Stan-
ley Dick, motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to transfer $2,365.44 from Road & Bridge Fund to Road & Bridge Excess Levy Fund, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to transfer $110,000.00 from Special County Highway Fund to Road & Bridge Fund, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Purchase of a v-plow for the new snowplow truck was discussed. Bids received with the truck were reviewed. Terry Johnston stated he would look into options. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by David Zeis to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: US FOODS, INC., COMM/WEED_ __________________________ 48.78 MONTANA-DAKOTA UTILITIES, GEN/R&B________________ 177.79 RICARD PLUMBING, HEATING & COOLING, INC., SHERIFF_______ _________________________ 220.00 AT&T MOBILITY, SHERIFF_______ _________________________ 610.68 NORTHEAST REGIONAL WATER, R&B______________________ 63.00 JOHN DEERE FINANCIAL, R&B__ _________________________ 184.87 BLUETARP CREDIT SERVICES, R&B_____________________ 299.40 DANIEL TRUCKING, F-M________ ________________________3,722.40 CLOSE CONSTRUCTION, F-M___ _______________________16,028.25 WITZEL CONSTRUCTION LLC, WEED___________________ 6,444.50 UNITED COMMUNICATIONS, NDSU EXT.________________ 54.76 MONTANA-DAKOTA UTILITIES, WEED_____________________ 24.00 TRUCK COUNTRY OF INDIANA, INC., R&B_____________ 156,170.00 TRUCK COUNTRY OF INDIANA, INC, R&B EQUIP_________ 2,350.00 ND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT, HEALTH INS___ 112,565.16 ND STATE TREASURER, FEES____ ________________________2,445.15 ND ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES, FEES________________ 466.83 STANLEY DICK, COMM____ 69.44

Page 14 – Monday, September 27, 2021
By Rita Maisel
Adeline’s Diaries Before my relatives had combines for harvesting, they used a steam engine, a tractor, and wagons loaded with bundles of the crop they were working on. In early September of 1937, someone took a picture with most likely relatives on or around the tractor, the engine, and the rack of bundles. In front of this scene are two family members: Great Uncle Dan Kaercher from California and a small girl who was apparently me. I have no memory of this, but in 1937 we did live on the farm, and from other pictures I remember knowing that my grandmother had died in February of 1937. Her oldest living brother did not come for the funeral but made a special trip in early September to come and visit. Uncle Dan shared his birthday with his sister who had died and with other relatives, so family gatherings were held. As a plus, he got to be present for harvesting that year. My cousin, Warren’s, interest in the picture was the Case tractor which he restored after his father’s death and at some point in more recent history had shown me the picture and may have taken it to the museum when a tractor show was held there. Last week Warren had plans to enter the tractor in the Osnabrook parade. In between, his doctor had other plans so by any chance did I remember about the tractor coming with steel wheels and replacing those wheels with rubber tires? The short answer is no. As it happened, I did know a
bit about one of the big steel rims because it had been brought to our house possibly in 1938 to be used as a sand box in the backyard there. All the younger cousins and neighborhood children grew up playing in that round steel sandbox, which I think was still in the backyard in the 1970s. Warren and I shared an aunt who was known to keep a diary. We do not know when she began this but could remember specific times when a group would be arguing about some event, maybe over who was or was not there, and Adeline would pull out her diary and settle the matter. She kept her diaries and other treasures in a locked trunk near her bed. We grew up knowing that diaries are private. Even before her death in 1983 - her camera, odds and ends, and a small jar of “old money” had vanished from their locked home in the trunk. Thieves did not look for diaries especially when they were not in formal diary books. Adeline wrote her daily memories in various formats – often in an old notebook from a bank or other source. I did know some of her diaries were in a box in a closet so told him I would see what I could find. The main thing I found is that diaries are not only history but also addictive. You get caught up in a storyline and hours later are still trying to decipher her small and hard to read handwriting. A partial answer to his question was an almost illegible story about someone delivering the tractor in August of 1929 and being involved in an accident. I could not make out the person doing the delivery, but common sense would indicate a machine as large as a steel wheeled tractor built in Racine, Wisconsin, would be shipped to a railhead

Langdon Long Ago
nearer home – quite possibly Langdon, Osnabrock, or Walhalla. An entry about two days later mentions Wm. Rourke working “on the tractor” which might mean Osnabrock. To date I have not found the answers to Warren’s questions, but the diaries turned out to be a small treasure chest of customs a century ago because some of the earliest books located were over a century old. The diaries found stopped about five months before her death when she was hospitalized at Grand Forks and possibly lost track of where the current diary was located. The oldest diaries found to date began around 1920 and feature the old Wenzel/Balsdon/Schrader threshing crews of that era. This group formed in Hay Township and had purchased a small steam engine, pooled other equipment, and had the requisite cook car for feeding the crew who were primarily their own families. Adeline, as the oldest sister in the family, was on the crew most years and is said to have done some of their bookkeeping as she had reached fourth grade in town school (Langdon) but not passed due to being needed by the people where she worked for board and room. Her early cook help was Ida Schrader, the oldest daughter in the Fred Schrader family. In charge, besides Grandpa Wenzel who had a blacksmith shop at his farm, were Uncle John Schrader and Fred Balsdon. One of those two was the usual foreman and the other the engineer on the steam engine. Even the children helped, with those in school coming by for lunch after classes. Sterling Wenzel at the age of 6 or 7 became their water boy and as such could miss school when needed. Being the cook, Adeline gives their menus
which were hearty meals with pie at least once a day, special cakes, and one of her favorites (doenuts – her spelling). When they had fresh sausage, she made pancakes for breakfast. Butchering was scheduled for before the actual work of threshing began, and if needed, they took off a day later on. They did a field at a time on all of the land they or their neighbors owned so moved the equipment often – sometimes more than once a day. The big treat at the end of harvest was ice cream, and it sounds like all had a chance to help turn the crank if not all to lick the dasher. Both before and after some of those harvest crews, Adeline went to Langdon by train and worked for Ramages off and on over a space of probably 15 years. Mr. Ramage was always referred to as “J.F.” and he had three harvesting crews and claimed at one time to own or rent as much as 4,000 acres. Adeline did not work on his harvest crews but worked in the house with “Mrs. R.” and in their dairy and meat market. However, they had many relatives and friends who lived or stayed with them including Forbes relatives from Gilby, Nick Moore’s daughters who graduated from LHS after the death of their mother (former Agnes Ramage), and grandparents of the Ramage children. The diaries will mention 18 for breakfast or a big crowd for Sunday dinner. When Walter Ramage married, his wife was known as “Mrs. W. R – a lady who drove a new Ford and gave rides to people, some of whom became potential buyers when they had the Ford garage. Once harvest was over, there would be potato picking. Several families would cut and plant 20 or more bushels in the spring and hope to have enough for all winter long. This was before the commercial potato crops had reached Cavalier County. Fred Farrow from Cavalier, newly married to a Kaercher cousin, would come up to the farm in search of potato pickers. Adeline and Clara must have been first in line. The diaries give their daily tallies, and they were good pickers. Picnics, holidays, weddings (some mentioned by throwing a chivaree but not a large-scale
church event), funerals, birthdays, and eventually graduations were a big deal. They seemed to either go somewhere every day or have company, and most days it was both. Grandma knit mittens for Rodney and me as the youngest grandchildren, but the diary lists the mittens made for all the hired men, neighbor children, grandchildren, and sometimes just people who stopped in and asked for them. Because the diaries are not labelled and filed in order, I found reading them very difficult and suspect some volumes might be in another box on someone else’s shelves or been thrown away after her death by people who were not interested in the stories. One of the items that jumped out at me was how often they hired young people from the same families or people with the same names. By age I could tell Bill Roder from Bill Robillard. Earl Mirehouse worked there for years but so did Earl McGauvran and Earl Cleary. So far have not figured out who was Art and who was Arthur as both Art Cleary and Arthur Schrader were part of the family for a time. The parsonage and church were on a corner of the farm so each of the pastors serving Zion Church got their milk and many other things from the Wenzel farm. If the pastor was away at a district or state-wide meeting, either his wife and children came to the Wenzel farm until he returned, or they requested Grandma or one of her daughters come to the parsonage to sleep. Travel was often by train, and if you were in Osnabrock or Langdon and a neighbor needed a ride home - you took them. Cars were known as “the Ford,” “the Dodge,” and one was “the coupe”. It was two miles to Uncle Jake's so a bicycle was needed there, but the distance was shorter to Uncle John’s, Aunt Annie’s, Jake Schrader's, or the Bowles farm to the south. In spite of trying to convince my mother that Rodney and I must never play cards, there was a neighborhood card game every night. Women were not invited to play. If they had radio batteries, they could listen to the radio or make a quilt. There was never a time when there was nothing to do.
