NDSU Research Extension hosted a Crop and Soil Field Day on Wednesday, August 25, 2021. The event was based at the Mooreton, ND, Smart Farm site and live-streamed to all the NDSU Research Extension Centers (RECs) across the state and available to everyone through Zoom.

Abbey Wick, NDSU Extension Soil Health, and Sam Markell, NDSU Extension Broadleaf Crop Pathology, hosted the panel. Professors, researchers, and scientists from NDSU discussed various topics in a question-and-answer format. Viewers were encouraged to ask questions via Chat in the Zoom application. This is the first of three articles in the series.

Livestock: Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension Livestock Environment Steward Specialist, and Kevin Sedivec, NDSU Extension Range Specialist, discussed livestock and grazing cover crops. First, create a longterm plan for your cover crops, which may include a perennial that will build your soil and create a forage base for livestock.

For a livestock producer, a cover crop can extend your grazing season, save on winter feeding costs, or save your pasture so you can get more out of it. For a crop producer, cover crops can improve soil health through organic matter, nutrients, or carbon. Trials have shown that grazing actually enhances soil

aggregate stability vs. not grazing at all. Animals speed up the nutrient cycle by breaking down the carbon and the residue in plants, making the nutrients available for the plants sooner as opposed to waiting for the organic matter to break down in the soil by itself.

It is critical to test cover crops for toxicity before you graze your livestock. Mixes may reduce the risk of toxicity, but cows favor brassicas and will eat those first.

If those brassicas have nitrates, they recommend holding off on grazing those areas. Stock density is the number of grazing animals per unit of area. Carrying capacity is the available forage for grazing. You need to make sure your stocking rate doesn’t exceed your carrying capacity. Components of carrying capacity are the type of animal, how many, and length of time animals graze.

You cannot change the type of animal that you’re grazing, but you can vary the number of animals and how long they graze.

There is an NDSU grazing calculator that will help you calculate both stocking rate and carrying capacity if you are planning on grazing your cover crops. NDSU Extension agents can help you through that process.

Producers may be concerned about compaction when grazing cover crops. If you graze

Peterson Coulee Hare Scramble marks 15th year

By Linda Timian Republican Writer

Dirt bike enthusiasts will get their chance to test their trail racing skills this weekend, September 11th and 12th, at the 15th Annual Peterson Coulee Hare Scramble Off-Road Motorcycle races. The races are held in the coulee on the Peterson family farm property between Langdon and Walhalla.

Called “North Dakota’s Last Man Standing” for its challenging terrain, the event has been providing riders with an exciting trail competition for the past 14 years, even in 2020.

“We held the Scramble last year, and I’m glad we did,” said Randy Bata, one of the race organizers. “It turned out to be a really fun day.”

The event is a huge draw, attracting riders from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan depending on the international border crossings this year.

Anywhere from 95 to 135 riders have come to the Peterson

Coulee for the Scramble in prior years.

A hare scramble is a form of off-road motorcycle racing on tight trails through wooded, rugged terrain designed to test the riders’ skills and endurance.

Races vary in distance and time as the riders complete multiple laps through obstacles such as creek beds, logs, hills, mud, rocks, and ruts.

Saturday will kick off at 4:00 p.m. with a team race for charity. There is a $10 entry fee, and you draw names for partners.

Each partner will run one lap.

Proceeds from this race will go to the Langdon Ambulance, Langdon Search & Rescue, and other local organizations. The Saturday run is also a way for the riders to see the course prior to the Sunday races. Af-

ter the Saturday race, many will hang out, grill, and visit amongst other riders and their families. Camping is available Saturday night on the Peterson farm property.

Registration for the Sunday races starts at 7 a.m. and is open until 30 minutes before the race for that class. Riders' meetings are held 15 minutes prior to each race.

The Classes: • Pee wee (4-6 years) • Kids (11 years and under) • Junior B (under 15 years, 85 cc – 230 cc) • Junior A (under 17 years, 85 cc and up) • Women (any age, any bike, beginner) • Advanced women (any age, any bike, expert and intermediate) • Open A (any age, any bike, expert) • Open B (any age, any bike, intermediate) • Open C (any age, any bike, beginner) • Vet A (35 years and up, expert) • Vet B (35 years and up, intermediate) • Vet C (35 years and up, any

cover crops all summer and go through a freeze-thaw cycle, there is no risk of compaction.

However, if the land is grazed when it’s saturated in the spring without the freeze-thaw cycle before you plant your crop, then compaction is a risk.

Planting perennials is the best way to build organic matter fast. Perennials put more roots underground than an annual. They take up salts and phosphorus, so those nutrients are taken out of the system when they are harvested through haying or grazing.

Both saline areas and landslide areas require a long-term fix, and perennials are your greatest option. Here, a perennial grass and perennial legume combination that builds nitrogen was recommended.

Cover crops need to be seeded properly and managed for weed control. You need to plan ahead so that you can integrate your crop system with your livestock system. If you have a diverse mix for grazing and you have weed issues, it’s really hard to treat them. You almost have to wait until it’s been grazed or harvested because you have the potential to impact that cover crop. If there has been a broadleaf herbicide applied to a field and then you plant brassicas or legumes in

that mix, you could get injury depending on crop rotational restrictions. If you have questions, visit with your local county extension agent.

Second, build your cover crop diversity over time, keeping cost and return on investment in mind. The goal of building any organic carbon or organic matter is biomass. For grazing, a mix of warm season crops, fiber, brassicas, and cool season crops really creates a nice diet for the cows and a nice diet for the soil microbes. Sedivec recommends only 1 to 1.5 pounds of radish per acre or 1 pound of turnip or kale or Swede, so that you get a third of your biomass from brassicas.

Your most expensive cover crop is a legume. A full season legume cover crop will pay for itself, but the biomass from a legume seeded in August often times will not. At this time of year, one of the best cover crop options is winter cereals because it can provide grazing in May and still be followed with a soybean crop. If you have a lot of livestock, you can graze those winter cereals into mid-June then follow with another cover crop or hay crop. For grazing, winter rye and winter kale are your best options. Winter rye is more economical because your seed costs are lower, it’s higher producing, and earliest maturing. For haying, winter wheat is your best option. Winter wheat gives you more biomass later cont. on page 2

September 11, 2001: 20 years later Learning about 9/11 One great way to mark the anniversary is to educate yourself about what happened on September 11, 2001. Even if you lived through that day, you can likely learn something new by doing some research.

Here are some resources to get you started.

• Read biographies of the victims of 9/11 at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial’s website at www.pen- tagonmemorial.org/ explore/biogra- phies.

• Read tributes written by others and write your own tribute at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s Digital Remembrance Wall at www. neverfor- get.org/remember.

• Take a digital tour of the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial at www. defense.gov/Experience/ Pentagon- Memorial.

FOR TEACHERS The 9/11 Memorial & Museum offers resources to help teachers bring the stories of 9/11 heroes into their classrooms.

Offerings include interactive lesson plans for students in grades 3 to 12 that address the attacks, their ongoing repercussions and the history of the World Trade Center.

For example, one lesson plan aimed at grades three through five is titled “Local Heroes” and asks: “What is a hero and how can people show gratitude to those who act heroically in their own communities?”

Another aimed at sixth through eighth graders is titled “American Anxiety After 9/11” and discusses the question, “How did 9/11 affect Americans’ sense of safety?” Search for lesson plans by grade level and theme on the organization’s website at https://www.911memorial. org/learn/students-and-teachers/ les- son-plans.

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN Encourage your child to look for a book about 9/11 at the library or bookstore. Here are a few to consider: • Ten True Tales: Heroes of 9/11,

by Allan Zullo. This paperback book tells 10 true stories of reallife heroes during the attacks on 9/11, at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Penn. Recommended for grades 7-9.

• What Were the Twin Towers?

by Jim O’Connor and Who HQ. This paperback book tells the history of the Twin Towers, how their construction changed the New York skyline, and why they were destroyed. Recommended for ages 8-12.

• Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of John J. Harvey, by Maira Kalman. This book for younger children tells the story of the John J. Harvey, a firefighting boat that was destined for the scrap pile before it helped put out the fires at Ground Zero when the fire hydrants in the area were inoperable. Recommended for ages 4-8.

Marking 20 Years As the grim 20-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks approaches, the memorials set up at each site prepare to mark the significance of the day. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s activities are designed to “share the history and lessons learned with

a new generation, teach them about the ongoing repercussions of the 9/11 attacks, and inspire the world with memories of our fortitude, strength and resilience,” according to its website. “Despite our shared grief in the aftermath of 9/11, hope, resilience, and unity lifted us up as a nation. Twenty years later, these lessons are more important than ever.”

Here’s a roundup of some of the planned events.

THE 9/11 MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM Annual commemoration. The memorial will continue its annual practice of reading the names of the victims aloud and observing six moments of silence marking major events of the day.

Tribute in Light. This year, the memorial will expand its annual Tribute in Light, during which the sky above the city is illuminated from dusk on Sept. 11 until dawn

on Sept. 12. This year’s event will be citywide, when buildings across the city will be lit up in blue.

The Never Forget Fund. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum also has launched the Never Forget Fund in advance for the anniversary. The initiative is intended to support the organization’s educational programs “and preserve its significance as a sacred place of remembrance, reflection and education.”

Anniversary in the Schools Webinar. A free webinar for schools will include a film highlighting first-person accounts of the attacks and allow viewers to interact with museum staff via live chat. It will be available on-demand beginning Sept. 10.

FLIGHT 93 NATIONAL MEMORIAL The Memorial will hold its annual September 11 observance at Memorial Plaza. The names of the passengers and crew members will be read, the Bells of Remembrance will be rung, and a wreath will be placed at the Wall of Names. The ceremonial gate to the crash site will be opened and family members will walk out to the crash site.

How the U.S. has Changed The fact that the U.S. changed forever on Sept. 11, 2001, is undeniable. Anyone who lived through the day’s events and the aftermath sensed the changes. Twenty years later, much of life has returned to its routines, but the marks left by the terrorist attacks remain.

WARS The United States has been at war constantly since Sept. 11, 2001. Within a month of the attacks, U.S. forces invaded Afghani-

The aftermath of 9/11 also brought an increase in anti-immigrant violence, especially against Muslims. Although the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Muslim extremists, innocent Muslims in the U.S. found themselves the target of attacks. In 2000, the FBI reported that it had handled 12 cases of anti-Muslim assault. In 2001, that number was 93. Another spike — 127 cases — occurred in 2016.

Upside Down Under

By Marvin Baker

Farm tractors in North Dakota We all know North Dakota is an agricultural state, and it takes an awful lot of farm machinery to take this state from seeding through harvest every year. And when we get out in the country, we’ll see all kinds of machines and colors moving slowly but methodically through fields. We like to think that farm machinery for the most part is American made, but after a check of some brand names, it turns out American made tractors are and have been the exception, not the rule.

Perhaps most familiar to all of us is John Deere. These tractors and combines are expensive, but they are arguably the most durable tractor on the market, and they hold their value better than any other. For any of us who purchase John Deere products in this part of the nation, we find they are built in Moline, Ill., and Waterloo, Iowa, with some other plants in Georgia and Tennessee.

Case IH tractors are built right here in North Dakota at a Fargo plant.

They are also produced in a plant in Racine, Wis. Once in a while, we’ll see a Steiger. They too, were made in Fargo, but have since merged with Versatile, a Canadian company that builds its tractors in Winnipeg and has them shipped to Fargo where the transmissions are put in them.

Anything beyond these brands and you are reaching if you think they are American made.

Kubota is a popular tractor, and you see them all over, especially in landscaping and in ranching. Kubota is a Japanese company, but some of its tractors are made in the United States in Georgia. Just like the Steiger, there might be some Belarus tractors still around. This was probably the cheapest tractor on the market, but it was bare bones. It had just the minimum just to make it operational.

Those tractors were made in Minsk, Belarus, and shipped to the United States. You could buy a Belarus for about a third of what you would pay for a John Deere, but like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Rhino International is a Chinese company that makes a tractor that looks like it’s made in China. And

speaking of Chinese, New Holland tractors have kind of a sketchy route to the farm in North Dakota. Some of their tractors are made in Pennsylvania, while others are made in China and Cambodia. The company that owns New Holland is a partnership with two Chinese companies and one in Italy called Fiat.

Once in a while we’ll see a TV commercial or magazine ad for Mahindra. “I love my Mahindra,” is part of the commercial. This is a fairly reasonable tractor for what you are getting, but it stands to reason.

Mahindras are built by cheap labor in India Next on the list is the Branson tractor. This has an American name, but you guessed it, it’s made overseas in Korea.

There’s one more tractor to highlight here and that’s Fordson. There are still a few of these in North Dakota. Originally made by Ford, the ownership of this tractor was changed 300 times until finally, it stopped production. So now, if you want parts, you’ll have to cannibalize another Fordson. Anyway, in the beginning, they were made by Ford.

Actually they were always made by Ford, but ownership changed hands frequently. In the 1920s and 1930s, hundreds of thousands of Fordsons went to China to compete with inferior machinery there. Finally, in the past approximately 15 years of its existence, Fordson was a British tractor.

All of these tractors were or are operating in North Dakota. It’s just that so many we’re familiar with are either made overseas in their entirety or partially. When you look at these machines, you have to choose which one you want based on your own personal situation.

It’s obvious that John Deere sells more than any other, but it would be interesting to see what percentage of tractor and combine sales do go to John Deere. Case-IH and Versatile are other good choices, especially having a Fargo connection and not some crazy place like Cochabamba, Bolivia or Sarajevo or something.

Caterpillar should also be listed here because Cat is an American company but manufacturers its products all over the world.

There are plenty of those in North Dakota, also, but they are mostly made for the industrial segment.

Bobcat skid-steer loaders are similarmade here in North Dakota with a Korean ownership.

Thinking, constitutionally Americans typically consider questions about the meaning of the Constitution through the prism of their political views and values.

As a consequence, they tend to defend as constitutional the acts of officials whom they support, and criticize as unconstitutional the acts of those representatives whom they oppose. This approach implies that the meaning of the Constitution turns on whose ox is being gored.

Politics, partisanship and party affiliation are the controlling levers of constitutional understandings.

This method of constitutional interpretation, it is obvious, converts the Constitution, to borrow Thomas Jefferson’s homespun phrase, “into a thing of wax,” an object that is subject to political manipulation, devoid of any intrinsic, objective meaning. In this context, the Constitution can be made to mean anything the reader wants it to mean.

This is constitutional nihilism, and it undermines the very premise of American Constitutionalism and the rule of law. It precludes achievement among the citizenry of shared understandings about the meaning of the Constitution which, in turn, prevents consideration of the constitutionality of policies and laws apart from the deep division and polarization that characterize contemporary America.

There is a better way, one that might help our nation overcome the deep polarization that besets us. Let me suggest that we think, constitutionally.

Chief Justice John Marshall set forth this standard in 1819, in the landmark case of McCulloch v.

Maryland: “The peculiar circumstances of the moment may render a measure more or less wise, but cannot render it more or less constitutional.” A century later, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes similarly declared: “The criterion of constitutionality is not whether we believe the law to be for the public good.”

The wisdom of Marshall and

Dear Editor, I just watched President Biden a few hours ago (Sunday 8/23) and if his message and the situation was not so pitiful for millions of people he would have been laughable!

He has the audacity to tell us that every citizen of Afghanistan being brought to our country is being 'vetted' to make sure no bad people are allowed in. At the same time his administration allows untold numbers of illegal aliens to literally walk into the southern US (or worse yet, be given bus and airline tickets to aid their travels). This does not count the thousands of undocumented aliens who slip by federal, state and local officials trying to stem the flow of illegals into the US In the meantime his administration continues to keep our northern

Holmes on this score cannot be overestimated. What it means for the public is that we should refrain from impulsive declarations of unconstitutionality simply because we object to the policy in question.

Rather, we should distinguish the relative wisdom of a measure from the question of whether or not it is constitutional. Such an approach lends itself to critiquing and improving legislative proposals.

That is, we might be inclined to embrace a bill as good public policy, but conclude, upon reflection, that it contains provisions that are inconsistent with the Constitution and require some improvement. If all Americans would embrace this approach we could, at a minimum, sit at the same common table, despite differences of politics and ideology, to fairly discuss the relative legality of legislative and executive acts. This enlightened means of interpreting the Constitution would have the likely benefit of lowering the wall that polarizes the citizenry.

Grasping the distinction between the wisdom of a measure, and its constitutionality, constituted a formative moment in my development as a constitutional scholar. My own experience may prove valuable for readers.

Years ago, I was engaged in a project on the question of how the Constitution allocated the authority to terminate treaties. Although the Constitution, in Article II, provided that the treaty-making power was vested in the president and the Senate acting together, it was silent on the question of which branch or branches possessed the authority to terminate treaties. My initial premise, based on a review of the literature, suggested that the president enjoys the authority to terminate or abrogate treaties on behalf of the United States.

However, the more deeply I examined the issue, the more I realized that, for a variety of reasons, the framers of the Constitution could not have contemplated the idea of placing in the president the authority to unilaterally terminate treaties. Indeed, the location of such awesome authority in the hands of the executive would have undermined their design for the conduct of American foreign policy, which was grounded on the principle of shared or collective decision-making among the departments of gov-

border with Canada locked down and today he brags about 'vetting' the Afghans who worked hand in hand with our military for the past twenty years.

And the frosting on the cake, Biden leaves equipment worth billions for the Chinese and Russians to analyze and learn our best kept military secrets.

One positive from the Afghanistan debacle is our great national media have actually reported most of the facts, though they totally continue to ignore the illegal aliens flooding our southern border.

Laughable? No.....pitiful!

Mike Connor, Devils Lake, ND Letter to the Editor on voting: NEW DISTRICTS AHEAD Committees will soon be changing district lines in each state. Some call it gerrymandering but states will be divided to have a certain number of voters in each district. Fair? That depends. North Dakota will average about 16,500 in each. The majority party does this every ten years after the census.

There should be only a few rules to vote, such as Photo ID, no mail in ballots unless in military, ill or absent beyond two weeks, 18 years old, no voting machines connected to the Internet with all made in the US, Illegals not be allowed to vote and English-only ballots.

ernment, and the rejection of independent presidential power.

This extensive research led to the conclusion that the framers had placed the termination authority in the treaty power, that is, the hands of the president and the Senate, to terminate treaties, just as they possessed the authority to make treaties. In short, the principle of symmetry governed. This constitutional conclusion collided with my view at the time that the Constitution wisely vested the termination authority in the presidency.

What was I to do? I might have manipulated my findings to serve my sense of the wisdom of unilateral presidential power to terminate treaties, but that would violate my conception of a scholarly duty to follow the evidence. I had no interest in converting the Constitution into “a thing of wax.” Thus I accepted the fact that my initial view of the allocation of authority to terminate treaties was, in the end, wrong.

Now, I accepted the evidence. With that acceptance, and further contemplation of the framers’ reasons for locating the power in the treatymaking authority, I arrived at a clear understanding of the wisdom of the framers in granting the authority to the president and Senate.

That moment — a teaching moment — convinced me of the importance of thinking, constitutionally. I was free, of course, to believe that the framers had erred in their decision, but I was not permitted, if I was interested in maintaining my own intellectual integrity, to manipulate or bend the evidence to my own ideological preferences. If everyone did that, the Constitution would be deprived of its essential meaning and would, as Jefferson warned, become a “thing of wax.”

There lies the path to the destruction of the rule of law and American Constitutionalism.

If all cities and farms now have street addresses, why don’t the reservations have them?

Fraud has already been proven in some of the Democrat-led states.

Some areas had more votes than voters, absentee ballots not requested, identical markings on numerous ballots, marker ink leaked through paper, different kinds of paper, Dominion machines hooked to Internet, officials changed rules and boxes of uncounted Trump ballots. If there is no fraud, then why are they afraid of an audit?

2020 had more voters with a record number of minority votes and less voter suppression than ever before. Trump must have done something right.

The Democrats are creating a problem where there wasn’t one. It seems they want a system to stay in power forever. Congress has HB 1 and SB 1 with 800 pages each but would put our state elections under federal control, give Washington DC statehood and much more.

Liberals must be ecstatic with Biden who can’t answer questions, his blunders and lies, touching women, huge spending and now all the illegals and refugees. Maybe his theme is “Bust America First” or “America Last”. He is incompetent and should be impeached!

Local breastfeeding coalition celebrates 2nd anniversary

Class reunion held

The Walhalla Class of 1970 celebrated their 50 + 1 year class reunion on August 13-14. We started on Friday with a tour of the North Border School and the Walla Theater. We then presented our veterans: Jim Belanus, Arnie Ermer, Rob Hardy, Jack Slama and Brad Gendron with Quilts of Valor. After the presentation, the class proceeded to the Walhalla Country Club for supper and visiting. Ms. Bernadine Kopf, Ms. Mary Ridley, Ms. Margie Johnson of Walhalla and Mr. and Mrs. Don Saiger of Warren, Minn., class teachers, joined us to share laughs and memories. Noon on Saturday, we enjoyed corn on the cob freshly picked and prepared by classmate Jim Eagan in the Walhalla Park with broasted chicken from Main Street Café. The Saturday evening get-together was held at Frost Fire with a buffet meal and music provided by DJ Dean Willits. Our class picture was taken at Frost Fire. Sitting is Carol Messmer, Alyson White, Nordis Doyle, Mary Jo Morrissey, Sheryl Webb, Carla Vigen, Barbara Brown, Sherry Fleming and Brenda Menier. Standing is Laverne Dumas, Spencer Clairmont, Dean Jackson, Jim Eagan, Bill Reimer, Dale Dubois, Keith Fitzimonds, Arnie Ermer, John Dunnigan, Les Laidlaw, Dale Yeado, Rob Hardy, Allen Vondal, Rene Beauchamp, Jim Belanus, Bob Dalzell and Danny Livingood.

The Northeast North Dakota Breastfeeding Coalition is celebrating its 2nd anniversary in August.

The Coalition was formed in August of 2019 to help support breastfeeding families in Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier County. There are now 28 members in the coalition representing a number of area communities including Cavalier, Crystal, Drayton, Grafton, Hoople, Langdon, Park River and St. Thomas. Members include health professionals, business people and interested community members.

The Coalition’s work was put on hold the past year due to COVID. We are starting to resume activities and did have our nursing tent at the Pembina County Fair at Hamilton in July. The tent is available for use at community events.

Members share what they or their organizations are doing to support breastfeeding and continuing education opportunities are noted. Unity Medical Center at Grafton continues to offer a walk-in Breastfeeding Clinic twice a month and individual sessions are available by appointment. They are a designated Infant

Friendly Workplace. The Pembina County Memorial Hospital at Cavalier held a free Breastfeeding/ Pumping Basics class at Clinicare in July. They are also working toward the Infant Friendly Workplace designation. The City of Cavalier and the Cavalier County Memorial Hospital and Clinics at Langdon and Walhalla received this designation in the past year. First Care Health Center at Park River has had the designation since 2018. Workplace support and support groups are important for breastfeeding success and the Coalition will be focusing on those projects this year.

Membership is free and we typically meet once a month on the third Wednesday of the month from 11:30 am-12:45 pm. A call-in number and Zoom invite are available for those not able to join in person. We welcome new members interested in supporting breastfeeding in the local communities.

For meeting / coalition information please contact Carly or Betsy at Walsh County Public Health and WIC at 701-3525139.

The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) has seen a rise in reported West Nile virus (WNV) cases in recent weeks. State health officials are reminding people to continue taking precautions against mosquito bites that can cause WNV infection.

As of August 25, 2021, North Dakota confirmed five human WNV cases, with six pending further results. Of the five cases, four were hospitalized and three were neuroinvasive cases. Of the six pending, two are hospitalized. In addition to human cases, two horses, one bird and 16 mosquito pools have also tested positive for WNV. “People should be aware of the increase in mosquitoes spreading West Nile virus and take proper precautions to protect themselves from bites,” said Amanda Bakken, epidemiologist with the NDDoH. “Peak WNV activity historically has occurred in August. This is the time to be vigilant and take precautions, not just when people are aware mosquitoes are biting them.”

The NDDoH recommends residents take these precautions to avoid mosquito bites: • Use insect repellent registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that contain ingredients such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus,

PMD, 2-undecanone and permethrin (clothing only). Always follow the directions on the manufacturer’s label for safe and effective use.

• Wear protective clothing outdoors such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks.

• Limit outdoor activities between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes that can carry WNV are most likely to bite.

• Eliminate stagnant water in containers around homes where mosquitoes can lay their eggs (e.g., gutters, buckets, flower pots, old tires, wading pools and birdbaths).

• Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your residence.

• Maintain a well-trimmed yard and landscape around your home.

Most people infected with WNV experience no symptoms. Those who develop symptoms will commonly report fever, headache, body/joint aches or rash. People who develop severe illness may experience stiff neck, altered mental status, paralysis, coma and possibly death. People over age 60 and those who have underlying health issues are at increased risk for developing West Nile neuroinvasive disease.

For more information on WNV, contact Amanda Bakken at ajbakken@nd.gov, 701.328.2385 or 800.472.2180.

Quilts of Valor

The Walhalla Class of 1970 was privileged to be able to have Quilts of Valor presented to our veteran classmates at our 51st class reunion August 13th and 14th, 2021. The quilts were made by the Northern Valley Quilts of Valor Guild and presented by Kaye Furstenau and Carol Beard of Cavalier, ND. Those accepting them were Bradley Gendron, Jim Belanus, Jack Slama, Arnie Ermer, and Rob Hardy. Gentlemen, thank you for your service, and thank you, ladies, for your presentation.

NDDOH introduces North Dakota COVID-19 Impact Wall The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) has partnered with agency KK Bold to develop an outreach effort for the citizens of North Dakota. This effort, referred to as the North Dakota COVID-19 Impact Wall, features a collection of stories about North Dakotans impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and will be promoted in a statewide campaign in the weeks to come.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives and livelihoods of individuals and families across the state of North Dakota and throughout the world. The North Dakota COVID-19 Impact Wall is an online virtual platform designed to provide the citizens of North Dakota an opportunity to share their personal experiences and stories of loss, survival, and/or long-haul symptoms due to COVID-19, in hopes of bringing the community together through health. The virtual platform also provides an opportunity for the community to pay tribute to and recognize those who have passed away due to the COVID-19 virus.

“The North Dakota COVID-19 Impact Wall was established to honor those lost and to provide a voice to those negatively impacted

by COVID-19 in North Dakota,” said Molly Howell, immunization director for the NDDoH. “Thank you to these citizens for coming for-

ward and being willing to tell their stories. We have the ability through vaccination to prevent stories like these from happening in the future.”

“This project was pursued in an effort to raise awareness of the seriousness of COVID-19, including long-term effects, risk of hospitalization and even death. We regularly hear the stories from North Dakotans about how COVID-19 has impacted their lives and families,” said Marie Moe, NDDoH Chief Communications Officer. “The site provides a virtual gathering place to share experiences, reflect, remember, and learn.”

In addition to personal testimonials, the site also provides resources and information about COVID-19 vaccines, including interviews with health care providers who share information specific to their areas of practice and COVID-19 vaccines.

Individuals are encouraged to visit the North Dakota COVID-19 Impact Wall to share their personal experience if they have lost a loved one or are suffering from COVID-19 themselves.

“The site is being introduced today with initial stories from those who contacted us by email after seeing an opportunity posted on our social media platforms,” said Moe. “Introducing the wall opens up an opportunity for more North

Dakotans to share and connect – recognizing the impact COVID-19 has had on us as individuals, communities and as a state.”

The site will be updated regularly as submissions are received and interviews are completed.

The stories, photographs, and information found on this website are usersubmitted. They have not been verified or authenticated by the North Dakota Department of Health or any of its partners. Content submitted via this form is approved and published at the discretion of the North Dakota Department of Health.

Peter E.W. Marsh, MD Peter E.W. Marsh, MD, was born on December 16, 1936, and passed away August 21, 2021, at his home with his family at his side at the age of 84.

Peter was the second son born to Joseph and Dorothy Marsh in Southport, England.

Some of his earliest memories were of the beach, his father teaching him and his brother to play golf, and the wartime in Britain. He spoke of two childhood evacuees living at his house, the sound of German planes flying overhead, and a hole in the ground in his neighborhood where a house had stood the day before. He attended school in Southport, finishing at the age of 16. He went on to an engineering apprenticeship in a car factory in Coventry before re-

Obituaries turning to continue his studies. He was accepted to Liverpool University to study medicine and play for the golf team. To pay for his education, he sold sacks and bags, worked as a beach lifeguard, window cleaner, chimney sweep, and on a pea-viner.

He graduated with a degree in medicine in 1964. While at University he met and married the love of his life of 57 years, Susan Gradwell. Together they raised four children as he practiced family medicine in Liverpool, England, British Columbia, Cando and Langdon. In 2000, they retired to Lake Belle Taine in Nevis, Minn. He enjoyed spending time with his wife, family and friends, always walking the golf course carrying his own bag.

At home, he spent time improving the beauty of the landscape while preserving much of the natural habitat.

He always looked at life with a peaceful contentment and guided his family with kindness. He was selfless in

his efforts throughout his life, loved being a physician, and took pride in knowing and caring for people. He was always available for a phone call or a visit when someone needed care or reassurance, medical advice, or a golf tip. He will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his wife, Susan; his brother, David (Katy) Marsh, of Southport; his sons: David (Julie) of Fargo, Andrew (Erlen) of Denver, Daniel (Elizabeth) of Parker, Colo.; his daughter, Catherine, of Minneapolis; and his grandchildren: Kathleen, Jennifer, Lauryn, Spencer, Tanner, and Harper.

His family will host a gathering at his home from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, September 4, 2021, to honor his memory and celebrate his life. All are welcome. The address is: 18886 Epic Drive, Nevis, MN 56467.

Carol Docken

A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2022 for Carol Docken, 59, who tragically passed away, surrounded by loved ones, on Sunday, July 25, 2021, after a brave battle with cancer.

Carol Docken was born on September 13, 1961, in Fargo. She was a kind and gentle person who loved her family and friends more than anything. She was the life of the party. Her smile and laughter were infectious, lighting up any room

she walked in. Family and friends would agree that she never met a stranger or kept a smile to herself.

All who knew her loved and adored her. We will always carry her memory close and dear to our hearts. A sincere thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff that cared for her.

Our sweet, sweet Carol, this is not goodbye forever, this is just goodbye for now, until we meet again.

We love you and miss you more than words can express. Your spirit and the unforgettable impression that you left upon this world will live on through everyone you encountered and forever in our hearts.

Mass of Christian Burial was held September 2, 2021, at St. Alphonsus Church in Langdon for James Everson, 66, of Grand Forks and formerly of Langdon, who passed away Friday, August 27, 2021, at his home in Grand Forks.

Burial will be at St. Mary’s Cemetery, rural Munich.

Martha Rose, daughter of Michael and Martha (Janowski) Wirth, was born on November 7, 1925, in Munich. She grew up helping on the family farm and graduated from Munich High School. She entered the US Cadet Nursing Corps training at Mercy Hospital in Devils Lake. On November 15, 1944, she married David Henderson. They worked side by side on their wheat and cattle farm in Calvin, where they raised nine children. In 1988, they retired and built a new home in Munich. They did some traveling during this time. She was very active in Christian Mothers and Altar Society at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Munich. She enjoyed league bowling, fishing, antiques, baking, scrapbooking, gardening, and keeping her yard and flowers in pristine condition. She always made everything from scratch and was most famous for her delicious caramel cinnamon rolls. She and David celebrated 53 years of marriage before her husband passed in 1997. She remained in Munich until 2014 when she moved to Wheatland Estates in Langdon. Her last move came in 2020 to Maple Manor Care Center, also in Langdon. She was the truest definition of being strong.

She was physically strong, firm in her faith, steadfast in her love of family, strong-willed, and tough as nails. Her legacy will forever remain in our hearts.

Grateful to have shared her life are her children: Karen Sedlacek of Rodeo, Calif., Mardelle (Daniel)

Opioid abuse: Drug abuse patterns modified in 2020, but abuse rates didn’t decline The manner in which people abuse opioid drugs evolved in 2020, but the basic issues surrounding abuse of these pain relievers remain the same.

Dr. Tina Christine L. Chasek, LIMHP, LADC, LPC, University of Nebraska-Kearney Associate Professor/Department of Counseling and School Psychology, says information recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), provides a snapshot of current U. S. opioid abuse.

“Their information led me to some conclusions about current abuse situations,” Chasek says. “The data appears to indicate that abuse of prescription opioids has declined. However, the use of illegal synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl has increased by about 10%.”

Chasek credits perseverance of the medical community in closely monitoring opioid prescriptions use to help uncover abuse of the drugs and efforts to educate patients about opioid addiction risks. Improved prescription tracking tools have also helped reduce the number of people who successfully go from doctor to doctor to obtain excess prescription supplies.

“Those efforts, coupled with new regulations that help eliminate some barriers to helping people in treatment for drug abuse, have helped bring the volume of prescription drug abuse activities down,” Chasek says.

“The bad news about opioid abuse is that isolation caused by Covid-19 restrictions has driven stress levels in general higher and overall substance abuse, including opioid drugs, has gone up.”

Over the past year, Covid restrictions has negatively impacted access

to substance abuse treatment programs and increased barriers for entering medical facilities.

“For rural America, the good news is that opioid abuse rates dropped over the past year,” Chasek says.

A recent American Farm Bureau Federation survey revealed that, in rural areas, some 74% of people reported being impacted by opioid abuse practices. The survey indicated that the study participants either knew someone who abused opioids or were abusing the drugs themselves.

“Since Covid-19 began spreading, about 42% of survey respondents said they knew someone who used opioid drugs to self-medicate due to Covidrelated stress,” Chasek says. “When someone abuses drugs to self-medicate in this way, it doesn’t point to a very good outcome, especially when drugs such as fentanyl, which is up to 100 times more potent than morphine, are involved.”

The U.S. Department of Justice/ Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Drug Fact Sheet notes that that fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that was first developed in 1959 and introduced in the 1960s as an intravenous anesthetic. It is frequently used to help manage pain for cancer patients.

Fentanyl pharmaceutical products are currently available as oral transmucosal lozenges (lollipops), effervescent buccal tablets, sublingual tablets, sublingual sprays, nasal sprays, transdermal patches and injectable formulations.

Primary indications that a person may be struggling with opioid addiction include extended use of a pain medication, continued or increasing pain, abnormal sleepiness or lack of

focus, and changes in general behaviors.

“Look for depression, too,” Chasek says. “Ongoing pain makes you feel bad physically and emotionally and could lead to depression. If someone is irritable or seems to become cranky before it’s time to take their medication, those can all be red flags.

If family members or friends suspect opioid abuse in an individual, taking time to respectfully and carefully approach them to offer support may be an effective way to help them recognize their opioid use disorder.

“If you see something, say something,” Chasek says. “We speak up because we care about people and want to help. Be respectful and kind rather than accusatory and defensive or angry. Right now, it may be challenging to gain access to drug abuse treatment but be persistent. Drug addiction is a disease. Don’t blame or point fingers.

Opioids cause changes in the brain and addicts need help to get back on the right path so they can heal.”

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

(Mark 10:45) Have you ever wondered why God is so humble? He created the universe with a word. He raises the dead. He calms stormy seas. He sits on an eternal throne. He walks on waves…and we could keep listing reasons God is so glorious!

However, today’s verse brings us something unexpected. Instead of finding an egomaniac in Jesus, we find a pleasant surprise: perfect humility.

Jesus came in the rags of a peasant rather than the robes of a prince. He was the promised Son of Man, the Messiah, God’s Anointed, the Christ long awaited - and now finally here.

Yet this high priest and high king did not come to be served but to serve and give his own life for us! When we zoom out, though, this actually honors Jesus more than we ever could. Here’s how.

Jesus’s sacrifice proves his immea-

Un-named Rooster Chronicles

by Heather Duerre of Walhalla Part two of my latest farm story: To recap, I was last standing in the barn on my way to bury a hen that met its end far too early. I found myself standing face to face with the un-named rooster who had the look of a cold-blooded killer in his beady little eyes. I quickly ran behind some nest boxes when I realized Doc Holiday (my trusty rake) was nowhere in sight. The un-named rooster waited for his chance to kill me in front of the other farm animals. In his mind, this was probably the only way he would be respected by everyone in the barn.

I mean if he took me, the Charlie’s An-

Who’s New

Clayton Johnson

A son, Clayton David Allen Johnson, was born to Devon and Katie Johnson of Langdon on January 7, 2021. He weighed 7lbs., 9 oz. and was 20.75 inches long.

Grandparents are Greg and Jolene Everson of Langdon and Winnie and Melissa Johnson of Edmore.

Great-grandparents are Winnie and Delores Johnson of Hampden and David and Pat Fix of Devils Lake.

Clayton joined two brothers: Liam (10) and Lavin (8), and a sister, Colbie (5).

gel Beast down, he would go down in barnyard history like Teddy Roosevelt when he led his Roughriders to victory! So, the battle ensued, and by battle, I mean a stare down. I saw the barn door, and I knew if I could just make it to the door, Doc Holiday would be waiting for me right outside. The only problem was that when I stepped left, the un-named rooster stepped right, and when I stepped right, he stepped left. In a way he reminded me of Richard Simmons (minus the short shorts) with his fancy footwork. As impressed as I was, I knew if I let my guard down my children would be motherless. So, I picked up a little pebble and threw it in order to take the un-named rooster off guard. It didn’t work, so I said “Forget this!” and I just sprinted for the door. I could feel the un-named rooster right on my tail, but I managed (thanks to my extreme athleticism) to grab Doc Holiday. I swiftly whipped around just in time to knock the un-named rooster back into the barn. I relaxed and thought “wow, I’m good!” Just as I was about to turn around and go on my merry way, I felt a peck on my calf. I turned to see the unthinkable…it was a duck! A duck that the un-named rooster must have recruited to his evil army. I was so shocked that I ran screaming back to the house - by ran, I mean I walked briskly and stopped for a few breaks.

Anyways, I managed to make it safely back to the house, and for now, I am still alive. I must rethink my game plan which will include trying to convince the turkeys to join my army. I feel like the turkeys can take down a duck if needed…

surable worth- how stunning that one man could be exchanged for the salvation of many!

God gets glory by being a giver, not a taker. Jesus didn’t come to this earth to take but to give. And he shows us how his people view glory—not with fleshly vision but spiritual eyes. Disciples don’t see people as ATM machines, spitting out the “value” we want to extract from them. People don’t exist for our satisfaction; we exist for their salvation.

Christians don’t do glory like the world does glory. Our glory is to follow Jesus as a servant. We glorify him in both our gratitude for what he’s done and, also, our obedience for what he’s called us to do.

As we serve, laying down our lives, wants, and wishes, we show the world there is someone of infinite value who has given himself to us. In Christ we have everything. What can this world give to children of the Most High King?

Cardinals win first road game of season 41-6 at W-N-G for 40th win in a row Tetrault scores 4 TDs in win

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team hit the road for the first time in 2021 to face the Westhope-Newburg-Glenburn Sioux. The Cards blew out to 28-0 lead at halftime and went on to win 41-6. With the victory, LangdonEdmore-Munich got their 40th win in a row, dating back to 2017. They are now 2-0 on the season and have their first Class B 11-Man Northeast Region conference game at Grafton on Sept. 3. The Cardinals will have their next home game, which is also Homecoming, on Sept. 10.

In their game at Westhope, Langdon-Edmore-Munich got going right away on their first drive, when junior running back Carter Tetrault began a huge night with a 72-yard run on the Cards first play from scrimmage. He made a great cut to get past the line then outran several Sioux players to the end zone.

Rayce Worley found new Cardinals tight end Jack Romfo for the 2-point conversion making the score 8-0.

After the Sioux went three and

out, the Cards scored again, this time on a jet sweep shovel pass from Worley to Markus Kingzett from 23 yards out followed by an extra point from Alex Gellner. Tetrault would score again, once on the ground and another on a Worley pass, to make the score 28-0 at the half.

Tetrault concluded a big night with a circus catch in the end zone in the third quarter from Worley, who also later scored a one-yard touchdown to close out the Cardinals scoring.

Gellner ended up going 3 for 5 on extra points on the night. For the game, Tetrault led the Cardinals with 152 rushing on 15 carries and 86 yards on six receptions. Kingzett caught a team high seven balls for 58 yards. Worley completed 21 of 32 passes for 213 yards for the game.

The Cardinals defense also played tough for the second straight week, allowing their first touchdown of the season in the third quarter. Worley and Gage Goodman each had interceptions in the game, and Shaun Goeser came up with a big sack.

Lady Cards took second place in the Northern Cass tournament on Aug. 28. Photo by Larry Stokke

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team got their first action of the season in the Northern Cass Tournament. The Lady Cards played well and went 5-1 overall in the tourney, losing to defending state champion Linton-HMB 2-0 (25-11, 25-22) in the championship match. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had their first regular season match of the year at Cavalier on Sept. 2 and will have a Homecoming match this week at home versus Thompson on Sept. 9.

The Cardinals breezed through pool play in the Northern Cass Tournament, winning over the host team's junior varsity plus wins over the West Fargo JV and WyndmereLidgerwood. That put them into tournament play where they battled and fought their way to the title match with Linton-HMB. After being a little overwhelmed and losing by 14 points in the first game, Cardinals returning All-State senior Morgan Freije got going in game two, but the Lady Cards fell just short at 25-22.

For the tournament, Freije had 46

kills with sophomore Cora Badding leading the team with 54. Freije had 18 of the Cardinals 62 tourney aces while Badding had 17 and senior Marlee Hetletved had nine. Sophomore setter Jalynn Swanson had 92 assists.

Homecoming 2021 planned for this week Let's start this week by saying that as we now get into September, a number of fall activities will either continue or be happening in the week ahead. Homecoming for the Cardinals is going on all week, with King and Queen Coronation, dress up days and much more. All of this will lead up to a Homecoming volleyball match for the Lady Cards on Sept. 9, then the Homecoming football game for the Cardinals on Sept.

10.

Now, COVID-19 seems to rearing its ugly head in our area, so it's kind of fluid situation, but hopefully all of these plans can be made and will happen.

Cardinals ranked second in latest Class B 11 Man Poll; Winning streak reaches 40 Speaking of football, LangdonEdmore-Munich is off and running with 2021 season, and have notched two non-conference wins so far.

The Cardinals are ranked second in the latest Class B 11 Man Football Poll, behind Beulah. They received one first place vote in the poll this week.

The Cards started Northeast Region games at Grafton on Sept. 3, and again will host Park River for their Homecoming game on Sept.

10.

We also feel the need to put a shout out to the team and the program on 40 straight wins. That's right, the Cardinals have not lost a football game since 2017, and now have run off 40 in a row. The guys

don't like to talk about the streak much, but 40 wins in quite the milestone, and we did not want to see it go unnoticed. There are several Cardinals players that have never lost a game their entire careers, which is unreal.

The Northeast Region is going to be a tough road this year, but the start the Cards have had shows that they should be right in it until the end once again.

Girls golf to host a JV meet at the Langdon Country Club Let's get out this week by telling you Class B Girls Golf, in its first fall season since the late 1980's, it moving right along. It will culminate in the State B Tournament, which will be held in Carrington at the end of

September. The Langdon-EdmoreMunich team has qualified for state already, which will talk more on next week. Their is also a JV girls golf meet planned for the Langdon Country Club on Sept. 10.

Speaking of the club, it is still now wide open for golf, outside of the tourney mentioned above. The weather for this week looks great, to its a good time to get out and enjoy the course, which as usual is in it's best shape this time of year.

Call the Langdon Country Club at 701-256-5938 for more information, and Tuesday Men's Stag nights are scheduled to continue throughout September.

"See ya!" next week!

NDSU Extension offers dry bean harvest options

This crop season’s drought has caused highly variable crop stand density and growth stages, including in dry bean fields.

“Dry topsoil at dry bean planting time resulted in less than optimum plant densities and extended plant emergence, causing variable plant growth stages still observed at the current time,” says Greg Endres, North Dakota State University Extension cropping systems specialist.

Recent rains have stimulated new growth on dry bean plants, especially pinto beans. The plants are producing late-season blossoms and new pods (1 to 3 inches in length without seed). This has occurred with plants also having a majority of seeds near or at physiological maturity.

Dry bean growers are wondering whether to plan harvest timing based on existing seed on plants that are near or at maturity or to delay harvest at least a month, with the possibility that more seed yield will be gained with the late-developing seed.

“The low-risk answer is to prepare for harvest based on seed currently expected to contribute to yield,” Endres says. “The challenge is timing plant cutting or application of herbicide desiccants to maximize yield considering the highly variable plant and seed stages in the field.”

The probability is low that the new blossoms and pods will produce mature seed before a killing frost this fall. Also, if harvest is delayed to gain potential late seed, the early matured seed, which likely will be the major contributor to total field yield, may be reduced due to pod shatter before or during harvest.

Mature conventional (not slow darkening) pinto bean seed likely will have darkened seed coats if not timely harvested or be stained by rain, resulting in reduced seed quality and market discounts. In addition, if a frost occurs before the late-developing beans are mature, these beans cause harvest problems and likely will reduce quality of the “good” beans.

Another negative factor to consider if harvest is delayed to gain potential yield from the new growth is weeds. The delayed harvest option will allow more late-season existing weed growth and new weeds to emerge that will hamper harvest, reduce “good” seed quality and add more weed seed to the soil for field management challenges in future years. Also, effectiveness of herbicide desiccants generally will decline as application is delayed from late summer to fall (last half of September or beyond).

“Dry bean growers should manage their fields based on harvest readiness of the majority of seed currently present in fields, which was early produced,” Endres advises.

Refer to the NDSU Extension publication “Dry Bean Production Guide” for general information on preparing fields for harvest as well as the harvest operation and seed storage. Also, refer to chemical product labels and Page 39 of the NDSU Extension “Weed Control Guide” (www.ag.ndsu.edu/weeds/weedcontrol-guides/2021%20nd-weedcontrol-guide-1) for guidelines on the use of dry bean preharvest/ desiccation herbicides if this option is considered in preparation for harvest.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Eating for Health How is it September already? I’m not sure where the time goes. I feel like I was looking forward to summer starting just the other day, but with every year, we have the changing of the seasons, and the time goes way too quickly, especially the older I get. The other day, I asked my son what he would like for lunch. He responded by telling me he wanted “lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber with some fruit.” He’s nine... I don’t realize how good of an eater he really is until I hear the woes of other parents. As I was preparing his meal of lean ground beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, peaches, and blueberries, it got me to thinking about how beautiful and colorful the meal actually was.

Colors of foods are indicators of various nutrients. Having a variety of vitamins and minerals helps our bodies do what they need to do for daily function, including building our immune system. During our indoor season, which usually means more illness, it’s especially important that we have a variety.

It’s also important to get the larger amount of antioxidants fruits and vegetables offer to help us reduce our chances of cancer. The fiber also helps us reduce our chances of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables a day, using the rainbow as your guide. MyPlate (www.myplate.gov) recommends half of your plate be fruits and vegetables a day.

Adults need about 4 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables a day. I think my son surpasses that amount. After thinking about it, I believe I shortchange myself, as most adults do.

Sometimes it’s a little overwhelming to hear 4 ½ cups of fruits and vegetables, but it’s not all that difficult to get that amount in the day if the focus is on fruits and vegetables at every meal as well as for snacks in between. One cup of fruits and vegetables is equal to: 1 small apple, 1 large banana, 2 cups of raw greens, 12 baby carrots, 1 large or-

NDSU Extension Notes

ange, 1 large bell pepper, 1 medium grapefruit, and 1 large sweet potato, just to name a few. Choosing from our favorite with the colors in mind, it should be fairly easy to work 4 ½ cups into our daily routine.

With it being September now, there are a variety of vegetables that are probably ready to be harvested or close. Tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, broccoli, onions, and summer squash would just be a few that could be harvested at this time.

They all have a different color, and all provide a variety of nutrients.

There are fruits that are ripe, such as plums and certain varieties of apples, and both provide different colors and a variety of nutrients. If someone is deliberate in their consumption of fruits and vegetables, it shouldn’t be too hard at this point in time to get fresh produce for a reasonable price. Try visiting the farmers market to see what’s currently available from local growers if you don’t have a garden of your own.

There are easy ways to fit fruits and vegetables into our meals without having to over-think or reinvent things. For example, for breakfast, if you typically have eggs, add some chopped onion, peppers, squash, tomato, or even broccoli to them for the added nutrients.

If you typically have cereal, add fruit like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries. Neither of these techniques require measuring or a recipe. If half of our plates should be focused on fruits and vegetables, maybe it would be easiest to chose fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors and then add the protein and grains to accompany. It’s amazing how easy it is to get in the habit of making fruits and vegetables the main focus of a meal.

NDSU Extension has a publication called “What Color Is Your Food?” (FN595) that discusses the health benefits of different colors, menu examples, and other ideas to help you begin your path to eating 4 ½ cups a day. Please visit our website at www.ag.ndsu.edu and search for FN595 or for other topics that could be helpful to you. You can also call our office at 256-2560, stop in, or email katie.d.henry@

Prairie Fare: Don’t forget to eat breakfast

Brush with the Bunch

While searching my files to figure what I was going to do next, I came across a few “funny pictures“ I would like to share with you. In June of this year, I did an article concerning a sign that the Brush Bunch painted advertising the farmers market held here and in several communities in the Rendezvous Region every fall. They are going on now every Saturday in the empty lot by the Old Crow Bar. The June article shows several Brush Bunch members painting a cornucopia of vegetables grown and sold at these markets. Not shown at the time, but sharing with you now, was the cornucopia that we had inside of the Gorge Gallery. This is one we couldn‘t paint, but it is just one of those photo shots that can‘t be duplicated - kind of cute anyhow. In case you don‘t recognize the ladies in the photo, that is Amy and Liann appearing to be coming out of the cornucopia, and both are unaware of the photographer. We at the Brush Bunch are getting our place spruced up so when you come in for a glass of Leona‘s famous rhubarb floats during the Pumpkin Fest the last weekend in September, you can browse around and do some early Christmas shopping. See you then. Last Tuesday we had a surprise visitor at Brush Bunch - former member Lucille Raile who was in town visiting her son and family. It was nice to visit with you, Lucille. From 365 days of humor: August 29--If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? God Bless, and enjoy!

“When was the last time you had something to eat?” I ask my family, especially when someone is irritable.

When they can’t remember, then I know that nourishment is needed as soon as possible.

In my home, we have a tendency to get a bit terse and tense when we are in need of food, especially if breakfast was skipped.

I’m no exception.

“Mom, are you hungry?” I’ve been asked by my kids. “Eat something, please!”

Yes, skipping meals can induce crankiness among the Robinson family. I don’t think we are alone.

I have good reasons for having a basket of snacks on the counter at home and on my desk at work.

Maybe we are less of a nation of “breakfast skippers” than previously thought, according to a study published in January 2021 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

About 84% of adults ate breakfast on a given day, according to an analysis of data from 2015 to 2018.

In fact, as people get older, they are more likely to eat breakfast.

About 77% of adults 20 to 39 ate breakfast. About 86% of adults ages

As a primary care physician, I know Rick would have recommended vaccination for all who are eligible. He was a proponent of preventative care and vaccines help prevent disease. Rick would have listened with kindness to the concerns of each patient. He would have explained with honest science how the vaccine works and how the risk of a severe reaction from the vaccine is greatly outweighed by the benefits of being vaccinated, such as reducing the chance of serious illness and complications from Covid-19.

40 to 59 and nearly 92% of adults more than 60 years old ate breakfast.

What does eating breakfast do for us? It literally “breaks the fast” and refuels our bodies after sleep.

All food components (protein, fat, carbohydrate) are broken down to glucose at various rates. Our brain needs a constant supply of glucose to think and perform at work and school.

What you choose to eat for breakfast makes a difference. Eating a piece of frosted cake for breakfast is not your best option for sustained energy. You will have a burst of energy as your blood sugar spikes from the sugar, then it plummets, leaving you groggy.

Having eggs for breakfast helps sustain your energy level because of their excellent protein content. Eggs also provide choline, which is good for your brain health. Top your eggs with salsa and add whole-wheat toast, fresh fruit and milk for a complete meal.

Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast food. Oatmeal is a whole-grain food with plenty of fiber that helps you feel full. Add some berries to your oatmeal and milk or yogurt and you have a power-packed meal. Try “overnight oatmeal” as a breakfast meal.

If oatmeal is not your favorite, try another whole-grain cereal. Read and compare Nutrition Facts labels and aim for cereals lower in added sugars and higher in fiber.

Langdon Long Ago

DON’T LET PAIN

Storms We Remember Older residents of Cavalier County kept scrapbooks or newspaper clippings of tragic events. In what must have been early 1976, the late Ila MacDonald invited me over to the house she shared with her sisters and brought out some clippings of a tropical storm that had destroyed Galveston, Texas, in 1900.

Three relatives of their family had been killed in this storm, and there are memorial stones for this Elford family in the cemetery at Walhalla.

Before going to Texas, the family had lived in what is now Harvey Township, and two brothers had a store on the west side of Main Street in Langdon. What was originally known as the Elford house in Langdon (later owned by Finnerty, Zettel and Howatt families) was built in the 1890s, weathered the cyclone of 1909 which destroyed several nearby buildings, and is still standing today.

Over the years the world has become aware of the hurricane season which spawned that devastating storm with a loss of about 8,000 lives and continues to wreak havoc on the Gulf Coast, Mexico, and southern and eastern states of the United States each year. In 1900 the head of the weather bureau for Galveston was a young man named Isaac Cline who did know a storm was eminent, but at that point in time there was little they could do to withstand the gale-force winds and the heavy rainfall they knew would accompany it. Because of the extensive loss of life and the fact that Cline himself survived, although his wife and some of the children in their family did not, the facts of the storm became known as Isaac’s Storm both in books and in more recent years in a movie.

Bob Ullyott wanted me to find the book “Isaac’s Storm” by Erik Larsson, and both of us read it around the time another memorable storm hit the same coastline - that one was known as Hurricane Katrina which arrived 16 years ago last Sunday.

Newsreels of that storm are still playing as the same area is now battling Hurricane Ida, thought to be one of the most devastating of the storms this year.

Before Katrina there were other memorable storms, but 2005 was a year I felt like I had landed in the eye of a different type of storm.

Our church was packing mission kits and needed twenty sweaters to match the other items already purchased for the layette kits. The lady who had told us year after year that she had everything under control for the mission kits had died the end of July, and in August there were a few loose ends so to speak. While I did not read patterns and had given away the yarn I used for afghans, hats, scarves, and doll clothes, I had hoped to make a few of the sweaters and sat day after day listening to

the reports of the devastating hurricane season while trying to make the sweaters. The project seemed as hopeless as evading the rising waters in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Media pictures of the situation plus knowing the need that the mission kits could fill kept me working. Between August and Christmas advice and yarn from other churches and friends resulted in our making 100 sweaters which were shipped to the area where the storm had caused damage. A Lutheran project titled Rise Up and Build followed to help clean up the affected parts of the south, and several of the volunteers for that project came from our part of North Dakota. In the process we learned a bit more about these storms.

Some of the storms had names chosen by the local weather bureaus, but as the technology of tracking them became better the national or international bureaus began naming them in alphabetical order by the 1950s with initially all of the storms given female names. There are memories of forecasters being questioned on this and responding that, to date, none of the storms had been classed as “hisacanes”. There may have been a year with all male names and then they adopted the alternating male and female names beginning one year with Andrew and the next with Anna or something similar. Since the storms seem to grow in the middle of the season, the most devastating ones are usually mid-way down the alphabetical list with the letter “I” - infamous for severe storms. Since 2003, eight severe storms have had “I” names.

The 2021 listing begins with Ana, Bill, and Claudette - which were relatively mild - followed by Danny, Elsa (first time on the name list and in honor of a character in “Frozen”), Fred, Grace, Henri, and now Ida. The next storms coming up are designated Julian, Kate, and Larry.

2005, the year of Katrina, had two late and larger damaging storms with Rita and Wilma going into November and December. Global warming does seem to have an effect on the strength of the storms.

They also feel that long hot summers and glaciers melting are signs of a very damaging season ahead.

Katrina was a storm that left us with indelible pictures of residents stranded on roof-tops, collapsed bridges and roads, whole areas swept out to sea along the gulf shorelines, and debris clogging some areas sixteen years later. People living in the paths of the storms are now more aware of the dangers, but each year there are lives lost often by those attempting to escape the storm or being trapped in a house which collapses around them after a day or two.

There is (or was) a copy of the book “Isaac’s Storm” at the library for those who have not read it or seen the movie. Erik Larsson books usually have long lists of references and documents that support his research so you will know this is not science fiction.
