On the campaign trail in 2016, then candidate Donald Trump had a lot to say about trade deals. Since taking office, Trump has delivered on the promises to take the United States out of “bad trade deals” such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and negotiate new and improved ones with key trading partners. This “America First” approach has led to antagonized trading partners, escalated trade wars, and tariff after tariff in the Trump trade saga. The trade policy may have finally reached a turning point as negotiations with Japan have resulted in a minor trade deal being signed that focuses on agricultural products. The year-long negotiations between the two countries has resulted in an agreement that is essentially a bilateral version of TPP with trade benefits that the United States previously had with Japan under TPP. United States Department of Trade confirmed that “when the agreement is implemented by Japan, American farmers and ranchers will have the same advantage as CP-TPP countries selling into the Japanese market.” North Dakota’s political delega-
tion has had positive statements in regards to the signing. “I am extremely pleased to see tariffs being reduced or eliminated and quotas being expanded,“ North Dakota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “I am also happy that this trade agreement aligns with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for
it will put increased pressure on China to reach an agreement. Now, we need the House to pass the USMCA, which has strong support in the Senate, so we can get it in place and provide additional certainty for our farmers, ranchers and other industries.” Gov. Doug Burgum attended the signing of the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement and the U.S.-
Trans-Pacific Partnership in tariff rate reductions over the same timeline. This is very beneficial for American agriculture and our North Dakota farmers and ranchers.” North Dakota Senator John Hoeven released this statement on the newly completed trade deal, “This agreement is welcome news for our farmers and ranchers as it opens up the Japanese market to more than $7 billion in U.S. agriculture products,” Hoeven said. “Not only that but
Japan Digital Trade Agreement at the White House on Monday, October 7. Burgum had similar sentiments to Hoeven on the trade deal between the two nations. “These trade agreements with Japan are strengthening our relationship with a key ally while opening the door to further trade deals with the island nation,” Burgum said. The optimism of the politicians is only carried so far by advocates for agricultural producers such
Something wicked this way comes The changing of the seasons is a marker for the passage of time, as summer gives way to fall. Fall is the time of preparation for the long winter months that are soon to come and with it the challenges of controlling the spread of illness. October is when flu shots begin being administered by health officials to reduce the impact the virus has on Americans' health. The Center, for Disease Control (CDC) has been tracking ‘flu season’ for over three decades, with the results showing the kickoff usually occurring in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May. “The timing of flu is unpredictable and can vary in different parts of the country and from season to season. Seasonal flu viruses can be detected year-round; however, seasonal flu activity often begins as early as October and November and can continue to occur as late as May. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the United States between December and February,” the CDC states. Data collected during the 2018-2019 flu season had between 37 and 43 million cases of flu being reported across the
United States. The North Dakota Department of Health has already begun tracking lab identified cases of flu beginning in late August. To date, there have already been 15 confirmed cases of the flu in the state, the closest being just a short drive away in Pembina County. “It takes about two weeks
after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body,” explained Cavalier County Public Health nurse Terri Gustafson. Every year, the CDC conducts a survey to determine how well the flu vaccine protects against the illness. While vaccine effectiveness can vary, recent studies show that flu vaccination

reduces the risk of illness by 40 to 60 percent among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched to the flu vaccine. “There are many flu viruses, and they are always changing. Even when the vaccine doesn’t exactly match these viruses, the vaccine may still provide some protection,” Gustafson said. There are two main types of influenza (flu) virus: Types A and B. The influenza A and B viruses that routinely spread in people are responsible for seasonal flu epidemics each year. Gustafson explained that there are many factors that play into how severe a flu season will be such as immunization rates. “Some strains of the flu can be worse than others,” Gustafson added. At least two factors play an important role in determining the likelihood that the flu vaccine will protect a person from the flu: the characteristics of the person being vaccinated, such as their age and health and the similarity or “match” between the flu viruses the flu vaccine is cont. on page 3
as the National Farmers Union. The organization has been a vocal opponent to the President’s trade policy, stating that key trading relationships have been disrupted, causing a reduction in U.S. farm exports at a time of already low farm income. National Farmers Union has been actively lobbying the Administration to end the tariffs that have been implemented. The absence of trade deals and the tariffs have resulted in other countries placing their own tarriffs , targeting the exports that are the product of family farmers, threatening the future of rural America. “The new agreement with Japan is unlikely to reverse the downward economic trends for U.S. family farmers and ranchers. The administration has said that the agreement could result in an additional approximately $7 billion in agricultural sales to Japan. However, tariff reductions for key products such as beef, pork, and ethanol will take place over up to 15 years, so that additional $7 billion in sales will take some time to materialize. Further, U.S. agricultural products will have to compete with similar products from major agricultural producers such as Canada and Australia who have a head start in the Japanese market due cont. on page 2

Prairie Fare: Enjoy an autumn feast for your eyes
As I drove on a highway in northwestern North Dakota, I enjoyed a feast for my eyes. I was en route to a late-September workshop to talk about preserving summer’s colorful bounty. In wooded areas, the leaves were turning brilliant shades of yellow, gold and orange, occasionally punctuated by bright red foliage. I tried not to get distracted by the beautiful scenery. As autumn progresses and the temperature decreases, the chlorophyll pigment in green leaves breaks down to reveal the yellow and orange carotenoid pigments and/or the red anthocyanin pigments. The pigments were there all along; they just are covered by the green pigments. Of course, eating colorful leaves from trees is not a recommendation, but eating colorful fruits and vegetables is. Most of us shortchange ourselves on the 4 1/2- to 5-cup daily recommendation for total fruits and vegetables of all colors. I have been reading some historical nutrition documents lately. The recommendation to eat a colorful diet goes back many decades. As I recently paged through a vintage nutrition guide written during World War II, I came upon a quiz about nutrition. I needed a score of 60% to pass, according to the author. I was a little nervous as I took the nearly 80-year-old nutrition test. Nutrition recommendations have changed quite a bit. The good news: I answered the questions correctly. However, I needed to ponder what might have been known at the time of World War II. If I had failed, I think I would have tried the test again the next day after recovering my confidence. Many of my readers might remember learning about the Basic 4, the Food Guide Pyramid and/or MyPyramid. Nutrition guides date back to the “Principles of Nutrition and Nutritive Value of Food” published in a farmers’ bulletin in 1904. Our modern-day guide, “MyPlate,” includes five food groups. We are advised to fill half of our
plates with fruits and vegetables. The U.S. government introduced the “Basic 7 Food Chart” in 1943, and some of the nutrition information about fruits and vegetables was based on color. I have a quiz for you. Can you name the Basic 7 Food Groups? Pause a minute and think what might have been the advice for you, your parents or grandparents, depending on your age. Group 1 of the Basic 7 consisted of green and yellow vegetables, including leafy greens, peas, snap beans, carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins, yellow squash and any other green or yellow vegetables. Most of these foods were a good source of vitamin A, which helps maintain the health of our eyes and skin. Group 2 consisted of oranges, tomatoes and grapefruit. Raw cabbage, peppers, turnips and berries also made the list. This group was an excellent source of vitamin C to keep our immune systems strong. The Basic 7’s Group 3 included potatoes and other vegetables and fruits not included in the previous groups, including beets, celery, corn, cucumbers, onions, apples, grapes and bananas. Group 4 included milk products, and Group 5 included meat, poultry, fish and eggs. Group 6 was the bread and grains group. Group 7 was quite interesting to me. Butter and fortified margarine used to be a “food group.” However, the Basic 7 Food Guide reminded people to “use in moderation.” Some advice doesn’t change. See https://tinyurl.com/ NDSUExtensionWhatColor to view a publication about the value of colorful food and the current recommendations, including food safety guidelines. In the spirit of autumn, here is a modern-day recipe with some colorful vegetables. Margherita Pizza 1 pizza dough 5 Tbsp. basil pesto 1 c. shredded mozzarella 2 to 3 tomatoes, thinly sliced 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1/8 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, shredded or finely chopped Optional toppings: chopped red, yellow or green peppers Prepare homemade or storebought pizza dough per instructions.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson We got spirit, yes we do! We got spirit, how about you? I will say this for the hardy folks who live in North Dakota, we have got spirit. It is a needed quality to maintain the life on the Plains. It can be extremely harsh no matter the season. From the blazing summer sun that has temperatures reaching 100 degrees or more to the freezing winters where we measure the temperature by how quickly our noses freeze shut. Don’t get me started on the wind chill factor! The spirit of the season is literally upon me at the time of this musing. North Dakota is famous for very few things outside of the state, but
what is well known amongst its residents is the mercurial weather pattern. Case in point, the week of October 7. What started out as a beautiful week of sunshine and light breezes, for North Dakota, of course, quickly turned into the depressing and grossness that is pre-winter. By the time this gets to the paper and ink stage, my trusted source of weather prediction for storms, Dakota Storm Stalkers, says that this area of beloved tempermental weather can expect to have close to two feet of 'that which shall not be named this early in the winter season'. This year’s Homecoming is certainly going to be one that needs a lot of spirit.

High school football expansion… As high school football across North Dakota winds down for another season, we can reflect on those high scoring games or the game in which one player was 100 percent of the offense. This year, there is something new to talk about that is sure to continue to build in years to come. It’s 6-man football, and it is quickly gaining in popularity across the state. Five years ago, there was one 6-man team in the state and that was in Alexander. Because the Comets didn’t have anyone to play here, they joined a 6-man league in Montana. A year later Mandaree joined the 6-man ranks, which ironically is in the same county as Alexander, McKenzie County. In that second year when Mandaree went to a 6-man format, Center-Stanton was talking about it but didn’t make the change until a year later. So in 2017 there were three teams in North Dakota that played each other a couple of times and otherwise played Montana teams close to the border. That same year DrakeAnamoose had trouble fielding a team and ended up forfeiting all their games. Guess what? DrakeAnamoose is now playing 6-man football as well. That was followed by the first team in eastern North Dakota, Midway-Minto.
Dear Editor: SUPPORTERS WE ARE ALL, NOT There is an abundance of confusion and misinformation surrounding the support of this president by farmers throughout this country. There will be thousands of farmers going out of business within the next 3 years. It’s a good time to be an auctioneer, but not a farmer. It is stunning how much devastation to farmers can be done in one term of a president. While we are told repeatedly how great this economy is, we are incurring daily, an increasing, insurmountable amount of debt with a trend seemingly irreversible at any point in the future. Yes, the future of our 130+or – year old farms and livelihoods, started upon the settlement of this state of ND, is bleak. While you don’t hear enough of the dire situation farmers are facing, you hear of the “strong” support for this president by the vocal minority. When things become so bleak, there comes no easy decision anymore. The feeling is paralyzing. So why is any farmer still supportive of President Trump?? We are now finding out that Trump promised President Xi of China, he would remain silent during the pro-democracy/human rights protests in Hong Kong in return for China to interfere in our next election in 2020 by investigating his two main potential opponents in Biden and Warren. Trump is now compromised!! While proclaiming his love for farmers, he has reduced

Upside Down Under Two additional teams are listed on the North Dakota High School Activities Association this season. They include Drayton and Trinity Christian of Williston. It’s likely more teams are going to go this route so the schools can maintain a football program and kids can play despite not having enough players to field 9 or 11-man rosters. Take, for instance, Garrison-Max. Much like Drake-Anamoose three years ago, the Troopers forfeited all their games in 2018 because they didn’t have enough players. When Berthold started the season, they had only 11 players on their roster, which meant everybody played just about all the time, and when somebody got hurt, there was only one varsity player left. It’s interesting that five of the seven teams now assembled in North Dakota, are from the western side of the state with the remaining two, Drayton and Midway-Minto, being in the northeast. Six-man football is thriving in Montana and has been for years. Most of us didn’t know that until Alexander started playing teams like Bainville, Terry and Froid. At last count, there were 33 teams in Montana’s 6-man league, which is called Class C in the state of Montana. It worked out for Alexander because several teams happen to be nearby, including Terry and Wibaux. What makes this even more interesting is the community of Grenora, in the far northwestern corner of the state. This is a North Dakota school that has been playing 6-man football for years, but the reason we

us to a mere bargaining chip in the trade dispute with China. He has done permanent damage to our (ND) soybean market, where 65% of our soybeans go. Meanwhile, his EPA has granted numerous exemptions to refiners for the blending of ethanol, causing several plants to shut down just in the last year. This is another important example of permanent damage to our market. Eliminating competition to the petroleum industry should alarm everybody!! If you haven’t figured out why, you better start thinking for yourself!! Farmers still supporting Trump after his devastating action towards us, clearly indicate they care nothing about their neighbor’s plight. Their goal appears to lie in their ability to withstand this crisis longer than their neighbors, sadly, seeing this as an opportunity to absorb their neighbors’ farms. Also, under Republican administrations like this one and the previous one(Bush43), when they also controlled both houses of Congress, they managed to skew the tax code to heavily favor businesses and individuals more, the bigger they are, while the clueless, misinformed, or undereducated voters are content with their meager, temporary tax cut. They haven’t thought far enough ahead to understand these implications to their children. If Trump isn’t forced out of office before his term is up, he will shortly, thereafter, face his fate from a lifetime of corruption when he is no longer protected from the office of the presidency. It is pretty remarkable that an individual who is so ethically and morally challenged can have so many loyal supporters. These very same supporters claim to make up the “Religious Right”. This speaks volumes of the makeup of
didn’t know is because they co-op with Westby, Mont., and thus are part of the northeastern Montana group. Last year for the first time, the BEK Sports Network televised a couple of games between Alexander and Mandaree, which for obvious reasons, is developing into quite a rivalry. That positive coverage has perhaps allowed additional school boards to make the decision to switch to 6-man to keep its local program. Whatever the reason, 6-man is here, and it is becoming more popular across North Dakota. We’ve all seen high school football games in which one team is so much bigger and better than the other if for no other reason but numbers of boys in each particular school. This provides an ongoing opportunity for those kids who want to play but don’t want to get slaughtered every week by some team that’s going to run up the score just because they can. This seems like a parallel to Class C basketball, which would allow the smallest schools in the state to be competitive. Many of us remember the 1977 Class B championship in which Epping nearly upset a much larger Hillsboro. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and it’s usually the small schools that are pushed out of tournament play first. Six-man football is something new, it’s something exciting, and it’s gaining steam. Maybe it’s because some of these North Dakota schools have been watching Montana Class C and know it’s a decent program.
this “Hypocritical, Self-righteous Right”. If you loyal supporters hope to stand in line with Donald Trump come Judgment Day that is your decision. Even though your support for this president is considered an insult to many of us, we are not wishing for your demise. Perry Ostmo Sharon, ND Letter to the Editor: Nowadays, the drug world is far more dangerous. Addicts now have to be cautious about buying fake pills that look exactly like the ones you get at your local pharmacy. They might think they are buying a Xanax, Oxycodone, or maybe an Adderall even. But in reality, they are buying something that is deadly. Dealers are mixing concoctions and pressing them with a little machine to make something that they think will be way more addicting and less costly. They are putting fentanyl in them which in reality is more addictive and cheap, but also deadly!! Just taking, snorting, or even IVing one pill is killing people. Before addicts had to worry about getting fake drugs that didn’t get you high. Now they have to worry about getting fake drugs that kill you. The death rates for today’s drugs is massive compared to years ago. Anyone struggling with addiction needs to get help fast to avoid this tragic situation.

The 7th grade class at Langdon Area School’s Exploring Technology class look on as they test one of their pasta bridge designs. The model bridges were made to cover a span of 8” and were constructed of spaghetti and hot glue. Each student and a partner attempted to create a bridge with the highest efficiency. The efficiency is calculated by comparing the weight of the bridge to the maximum weight the bridge can hold which is called the yield point.
North Dakota schools need more mental health professionals, not police In the wake of high-profile school shootings around the country, many schools over the past decade have invested scarce educational funds into putting more police in schools. But a look at federal data reveals that the real crisis of schools isn’t violence, but a broad failure to hire enough support staff to serve students’ mental health needs, according to a report released by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The ACLU’s Cops and No Counselors report found that in North Dakota, 53 percent of students attend schools with a police presence, but 74 percent of students are in schools that fail to meet the appropriate student-to-counselor ratio. Additionally, 37 percent of North Dakota students attend schools that have police but lack either a counselor, social worker, psychologist and/or nurse. “Given the clear benefits of investing in school mental health resources, it would make sense for school boards, school principals and government leaders to be using every available resource to increase school-based health professionals,” said Dane DeKrey, advocacy director for the ACLU of North Dakota. “Instead, funding for police in schools has been on the rise while public schools face a critical shortage of counselors, nurses, psychologists and social workers.” School counselors, nurses, so-
cial workers and psychologists are frequently the first to see kids who are sick, stressed or traumatized — especially in low-income districts. Schools with such services see improved attendance rates, better academic achievement and higher graduation rates as well as lower rates of suspension, expulsion and other disciplinary incidents. By contrast, there is no evidence that increased police presence in schools improves school safety. Indeed, in many cases, it causes harm. When in schools, police officers do what they are trained to do, which is detain, handcuff and arrest. This leads to greater student alienation and a more threatening school climate. In fact, North Dakota has the 14th highest student arrest rate in the nation.

About the ACLU of North Dakota The American Civil Liberties Union of North Dakota is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU of North Dakota is part of a three-state chapter that also includes South Dakota and Wyoming. The team in North Dakota is supported by staff in those states. The ACLU believes freedoms of

In addition, the ACLU seeks to advance constitutional protections for groups traditionally denied their rights, including people of color, women, and the LGBTQ communities. The ACLU of North Dakota carries out its work through selective litigation, lobbying at the state and local level, and through public education and awareness of what the Bill of Rights means for the people of North Dakota.

“We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) Josephine Cochrane was 44 years old when her husband, a wealthy merchant, died. She was used to living in luxury, and suddenly all she had was $1,500 and a pile of debts. The year was 1885, and the best a widow could hope for at that time was to remarry. But Josephine didn’t have much to offer in the “age and beauty” department. On top of all that, by her own admission, she was a bit of a perfectionist. It would drive her crazy when servants washed her fine china and chipped an edge off of a cup or saucer. So, here she was, no husband and no money just a set of chipped dishes and one extremely valuable possession... an idea. Josephine’s idea would change the way millions of people lived. Josephine wanted to protect her dishes, which had been in the family since the 17th century, but every time they were washed by hand, she would find a chip or a crack. She imagined that the safest way to clean them would be to somehow aim water jets at the dishes while they were stabilized in a rack. She came up with a design and began to work on her idea in a shack behind her house. Four years later
she presented to the world her Garis-Cochrane Dishwashing Machine. We may never know why certain things happen. The script of our lives rarely plays out the way we would like. Tragedy and loss never seem to make sense. Josephine Cochrane had no control over her circumstances; she lost her husband, her status, and most of her possessions. Though the circumstances of her life left her no choice, she was able to choose how she would make her way in the world. And because of her choice she invented and marketed the first automatic dishwasher. She took the cracked dishes of her life and used them as an opportunity. Josephine Cochrane died a successful woman at the age of 74 leaving behind her invention and her successful company, the Kitchen Aid brand. We may not live to see the end of our struggles or the fruit of our ideas like Josephine Cochrane did, but to live at all is to rise each day in the hope that, somehow, God will take the broken pieces of our lives and make something beautiful. Pick up the broken pieces, and bring them to the Lord, Pick up the broken pieces, trust in his holy Word. He will put them back together, and make your life complete. Just place the broken pieces at the Savior’s feet.

Our Trick or Treat for the Food Pantry will be held on Wednesday, October 23. Youth groups from all the churches in our community are to meet at the Paragon at 7:00 p.m. that night to organize drivers and youth for collecting non-perishable food items for the Cavalier County Food Pantry. All youth groups will be sent with an assigned area to collect goods. At the end of the evening, there will be treats for our

We ask that residents turn on their outside lights as our youth knock on doors. We will not be able to get to every home that has food ready for us to pick up. Residents are asked to bring the food directly to the Food Pantry.

Open Enrollment North Dakota State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt Fall is here! I know some have already experienced the first chill of winter, but that’s another conversation. Many of us North Dakotans enjoy this time of year watching the leaves change, finishing the fall harvest, football, and bonfires. This time of year is also a decision-making time for many North Dakotans. Decisions to determine what plan benefits to enroll in and which to opt-out of. October is the time for “open enrollment” when companies open the benefits they offer to their employees and we can make changes. It is time to assess our needs and the needs of our families and make any necessary changes. Unfortunately, most of us do not take the time to review those options or to determine what is most beneficial to us and our paycheck. Here are a few things to keep in mind when your time to enroll comes along. 1. Medical Insurance Some questions you should be asking yourself: How often do we visit our family doctor? Is anyone on prescription medication? It is important to choose a plan that is going to cover the most expenses for you and your family. Remember there is more than just your monthly premium to consider. What is the deductible? What is the required copay? What is your out of pocket limits and finally, are your providers in-network or out of network? 2. Dental and Vision
Many employers offer these plans, but the employee is required to pay the entire premium. Examine what each plan offers. Does the dental plan cover the recommended two cleanings a year? Does the vision plan cover glasses or contacts and an exam? If you generally have good dental visits you may decide to opt-out of that plan and budget to pay your dental bill as it comes up. If you do not wear contacts or glasses, it may make more sense to pay your exam out of pocket rather than purchase insurance. 3. Retirement Contribution Is your nest egg growing or standing still? If your company offers a 401(k) match, are you taking full advantage? Are you on track to meet your goals and retire when you would like? Always be sure to review your beneficiaries. This is an extremely important piece to your open enrollment process. No one wants to consider something that could happen to us, but if it does, make sure your assets are going where YOU want them to go. If you have selected people in the past, make sure to review this as circumstances change throughout the year. It’s easy to check the same boxes from your previous enrollment period, but PLEASE take the time so you and your family are covered for any of life’s surprises.

Dem/NPL District 10 is hosting an open watch party – the narrowing field of Democratic Presidential candidates will debate again on Oct. 15. Please join us for an interesting evening of discussion at Cedar Inn located in Cavalier starting at 6 p.m. In case you missed out, this will be the fourth watch party sponsored by District 10 Dems, which just keep getting better and better. Our first party, on June 27 was held at Frost Fire Lodge in the Walhalla Gorge. We weren’t quite sure what to expect for a turn-out but were extremely pleased to have about 20 folks gather around a big screen TV for the first of two nights with candidates squaring off to make themselves and their policies know. This was a nice venue that allowed dining and beverage options. We were honored to have Dem-NPL Interim Executive Director Tyler Hogan from Bismarck join the party and provide his perspective. The second watch party was held on July 30 at The Hop in Langdon. This also brought forth folks curious to find out more about the shorter list of contenders. Again, we were thrilled to have Scott McNeil, former Executive Director of ND DemNPL, address the group and drum

up support for state issues. With each watch party the enthusiasm grows as does the crowd size. Our third, and perhaps the best yet watch party, was at Gardar Country Club 10th Hole on Sept. 12. This new establishment was a perfect fit that allowed a pot luck with a silent auction. As had been planned to encourage diverse attendance by moving the parties to various sites within the District, new people joined the event. This brings us to date with fewer candidates and a focus on kitchen table issues; we proceed to watch and learn. Do you have a favorite candidate, do you need to know more about specific policies they are pushing? Now is the time to get involved to learn from each other and become informed. This is a building process, and District 10 is dedicated to hosting watch parties right up to July 2020 at which time the Democratic National Committee will stand behind a single nominee. Join us as we “Debate the
Debate” on October 15 at the Cedar Inn of Cavalier beginning at 6 p.m. District 10 Dem-NPL is sponsoring a “Busy Bag” drive for the North Dakota Veterans Health Care System. These bags provide activities for veterans’ children and grandchildren during appointments in clinics around the state and in the VA Hospital. There is always a great need. Bring items to include in the bags to “Democratic Presidential Debate the Debate” on October 15 to be held at the Cedar Inn (bags will be provided). Some suggestions include small mini-books, stuffed animals, stickers, word puzzles, coloring books and non-toxic crayons. Please do not include small items that can be swallowed, play-doh or food items. If you wish to donate but cannot attend the Debate Watch Party, items can be dropped off at Do It Best in Cavalier prior to October 15. Let’s work together to support veterans and their families.

Cardinals score early and often in 60-0 rout over Bottineau By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The unbeaten Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals football team was back home on October 4 when they hosted winless Bottineau. The Cards put up 40 points in the first quarter on their way to a 60-0 win. They moved their record to a perfect 7-0 and 5-0 in Region 2A games. The Cardinals were to entertain Carrington for their Homecoming game and Senior Night on October 11, but a possible early winter storm may force that game to be pushed back to Monday. With a win over Carrington, the Cards could clinch the top spot in Region 2A for the upcoming playoffs which begin October 26. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will close out their regular season at Grafton on October 19 with a kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. All facets of the Cardinals offense were on display against Bottineau. Things got rolling in the first quarter with a touchdown pass from Simon Romfo to Jackson Delvo and snowballed from there. The Cards had a strong wind at their back for the opening quarter of play, and with their defense stone walling the Braves, Bottineau had several short
punts into the wind that gave Langdon-Edmore-Munich excellent field position. Sean Gette would score next on an end around, followed by a tight end screen pass to Cooper Zimmer for another TD. Grant Romfo would get into the scoring act with an 11 yard run then another touchdown pass from Simon Romfo to Delvo. Simon Romfo would close out the quarter with a 30 yard run for pay dirt as the clock ran out. Gette would catch another long pass from Romfo to score again in the second quarter, giving Simon 20 touchdown passes on the season. After that play early in the second, the Cards turned things over to their JV team, who would keep up the scoring. Sophomore Zach Rostvet had a bruising 77 yard scamper, running over two Braves defenders on the way to the goal line. Rostvet also caught an 18 yard pass from Gage Goodman to cap the scoring. Defensively the Cardinals had their first complete game shutout of the season. Senior Jesse Fetsch started at linebacker for the first time this season and had a number of tackles and one of three quarterback sacks. They held the Braves to just 42 yards passing and to minus five yards rushing.

Lady Cards take 3rd place at DL-B Invitational Ronningen goes over 2,000 career kills in the tourney
By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team played in their third tournament of the season at Des-Lacs Burlington on October 5. The Lady Cards were 6-1 in the tourney, beating Linton-HMB, Minot Ryan, Kenmare and CenterStanton in pool play. The Cardinals then met LaMoure-Litchville-Marion, a team they had lost to earlier in the season, in the first round of the tournament bracket. This meeting with the Loboes would be different as the Cards won handily by set scores of 25-15 and 25-12. That win put them in the semifinals against Carrington where they lost a hard fought match. Langdon-EdmoreMunich was up 21-17 in the first set then lost 25-23. They dominated Carrington in set two 25-15 before losing the decisive third set 15-12. The Lady Cards then settled for third place, winning over Thompson 25-23 and 25-21. Minot Our Redeemer’s beat Carrington for the tournament title. Cardinals middle hitter and se-
nior Callie Ronningen passed a big milestone in the tournament going over 2,000 kills in her great volleyball career. Ronningen also had three double-doubles in kills and digs in the tourney, while Calyn Crockett had one with assists and digs.

Langdon Area-Edmore-Munich Cardinals C squad volleyball team took first place at St.John tournament on Oct. 7. They defeated Rolette, St. John and Rolla.
Cardinals fly past Rolla for a Region 4 win By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer
After the DL-B Tourney the Cardinals played a Region 4 match at Rolla on October 8. After finding their groove early in the first set, the Lady Cards played one of their most dominating matches of the season, winning 3-0 by set scores of 25-15, 25-12, 25-8. The win keeps the Cardinals record unbeaten in Region 4 matches at 4-0, and their overall record is now 19-3. The Cards had a match on October 3 at home versus Grafton moved to November 1, and weather permitting they hosted St. John for their Homecoming match on October 10. They had hoped to get in their Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament on October 12. Their next matches on the schedule are at Dakota Prairie in McVille on October 15 then at Park River on October 21. The Lady Cards had several big runs in each of their sets with Rolla, their biggest being a 19-3
lead in set three. Cardinals senior Calyn Crockett had a fantastic overall match, serving that big third set run and finishing with eight service aces and 22 assists. She just missed a triple-double with 14 digs. A number of Crockett’s sets on the night went to Callie Ronningen, who had 16 kills, followed by eighth grader Cora Badding, who had a career high eight. The Cardinals finished with 15 aces as a team.

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Fa-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la What an interesting day it has been as we write this column on Oct. 10. After reaching 74 degrees on Oct. 8, the door has been shut on our fall season, as we are in the midst of a winter storm. As we are typing, about 4-5 inches of snow has fallen, and a blizzard warning has been announced for Oct. 11-12. Some forecasters are saying we could get over two feet of snow by the time it's all said and done, which seems a little extreme, but you never know. With this winter stormy weather has brought a number of postponements. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals Homecoming game and Senior Night was supposed to be held on Oct. 11, and it has now been moved to either Oct. 14 or 15, all depending on how much snow comes down, and how long it will take to clear the field after it stops. There were also looking at an earlier start time for the game when ever it gets made up. Homecoming and Senior Night festivities will still go on whichever day it happens. Also the Lady Cards Homecom-
ing volleyball match with St. John has now been moved to Oct. 25, and the Langdon Invitiational Volleyball Tournament was also cancelled due to the bad weather. That is a shame, because with teams coming from as far away as Shiloh Christian (Bismarck) and Richland (South of Fargo), it is pretty much impossible to find a makeup day for that to work, although I am sure they will try if necessary, and we just found out they are going to try and play it on Oct. 26. It's sad the weather is causing all of this rescheduling, but it doesn't do any good to complain when we can't do anything about it. Ronningen goes over 2,000 career kills Let's get to some much happier news this week, by congratulating Langdon-Edmore-Munich senior middle hitter Callie Ronningen on reaching quite a milestone in girls volleyball. At the Des LacsBurlington Invitational Tournament held on Oct. 4-5, Callie went over 2,000 kills for her career. The two time all-stater was approaching 2,100 kills after a Lady Cards win over Rolla on Oct. 8. That puts in the top 5 in Lady Cards history, up there with McKenzie and Madi Hart, and the Twin Towers, Justine and Brianna Stremick. That's some
pretty good company, and just the the athlete that Callie is. She is also getting close to 2,000 digs for her career as well, which is a big number for a front row player. A special recognition will be held for Callie before the Cardinals match in Edmore versus New Rockford-Sheyenne on Oct. 22. Way to go Cal! Minnesota Twins season comes to an end A magical year of Minnesota Twins baseball came to end on Oct. 7, when the they were swept by the hated New York Yankees. The Twins had just some awful luck the whole series, and could not get any clutch hits, especially late in each game. It's crazy that the Twins have now lost 16 straight postseason games, and 13 of those losses came against the Yankees (The other three were against Oakland). How unlucky were the Twins this time around? Well, seven of the top eight hardest hit balls were smacked by Twins hitters, and six of those were outs, meaning they were hit right at a Yankees fielder. On top of that, every Twins fan was very jittery about the pitching going into the postseason, and they were right to be. It's not that several Minnesota pitchers didn't have great seasons, they sure did, but outside of Jose Berrios most of them don't look like postseason caliber guys. There is lots of good news for the future though. The Twins had the second most wins in franchise history in 101, and of course set the major league record for team home runs with 307. Anytime we are talking Minnesota Twins baseball in October is always a good thing, and hopefully more good times are coming beginning next season. Be storm safe, and "See ya!" next week!

Anitha Chirumamilla Ag & Natural Resources Agent Cavalier County Extension
Disease Concerns for Wheat Still in the Field (By Andrew Friskop, NDSU Cereal Extension Pathologist) L a t e standing wheat field in Cavalier County Photo: Anitha Chirumamilla What is the relationship between Fusarium Head Blight (Scab) and Deoxynivalenol (Vomitoxin)? Reports of high vomitoxin have been received from western and eastern North Dakota. First thing
Cavalier County Republican
NDSU Extension Notes
to remember is that vomitoxin does not randomly occur in wheat, rather it is the by-product of the Fusarium fungus colonizing the wheat head and causing scab. The infection event for Fusarium generally occurs during the flowering stages of wheat. As the Fusarium fungus colonizes the wheat spike, kernel development is inhibited and vomitoxin is produced. The vomitoxin is very heat stable and will remain in the kernels and plant parts. Will Vomitoxin increase in Wheat Left in the Field? The Fusarium fungus is present on infected spikes and it is possible that the levels could have increased when conditions were favorable Fusarium growth (ie: high humidity, 70-80F, prolonged periods of moisture). However, it is also important to point out that vomitoxin is water soluble and experiments have shown that vomitoxin levels are lower after a single wetting event 7 to 28 days after infection. Research from the University of Minnesota has demonstrated that after applying 5.2-inches of rain over the course of 6-hours, vomitoxin levels were reduced. This study was able to demonstrate the solubility of vomitoxin, but difficult to apply to the field. The intensity of the rain used in the study is tough to replicate in a field in North Dakota, and this fall has had several wetting events (rain and snow) including extremes in temperatures. Therefore, I would keep reserved expectations that rain has reduced DON levels significantly. The Risk of Cattle Feeding on Standing Wheat The US Food and Drug Administration has advisory levels for vomitoxin in humans and animals. The human advisory levels is 1 ppm in finished food products. The advisory levels for ruminating beef and feed lot cattle that are 4 months or older is 10 ppm and the food source cannot exceed 50% of their total diet. Before considering turning the cattle onto the wheat ground, you must consider the risk for vomitoxin in the field. Vomitoxin levels can vary greatly in a region, across fields and within a field. Vomitoxin levels reported in grain have been less than 1 ppm to more than 20 ppm. Fields at greatest risk of high VOM are susceptible varieties that were flowering during periods of high scab risk and/or if high levels of scab were observed in a field. Although a high level of scab usually
indicates higher VOM levels, low levels of scab can also produce high VOM levels. The other concern with having cattle graze the wheat is that VOM levels are not only reserved to the kernels. Fusarium infection causes the most damage to kernels, but can also colonize other plant parts. This includes the rachis and stem tissue below the head and in some cases VOM levels have been shown to be higher in plant tissue than the kernels. The other disease to be aware of is ergot. Ergot is well adapted in the state with a very large grass host range including quackgrass, brome grass and small grains. The infection event for the ergot pathogen occurs at heading, and it is likely some fields had conducive conditions (cool and wet) for ergot this year. Ergot bodies may have fallen off wheat heads due to the longevity of the crop being in the field, but scouting should still be done prior to cattle grazing. Ergot bodies contain toxic alkaloids that have a higher toxicity in cattle when compared to vomitoxin. For example, advisory levels for vomitoxin are measured in parts per million and ergot alkaloid levels are measured in parts per billion. For the reasons outlined above, consider these risks before allowing cattle to graze a standing wheat field. Can I use the high VOM lot for seed next year? Using a high VOM seed lot is not associated with causing VOM issues in next year’s crop. The infection window for the scab pathogen and production of vomitoxin is during the flowering stages, not from a seed source. A high VOM seed lot will have Fusarium infected kernels increasing risks for seedling blight, root rot and uneven emergence. If you decide to use a high VOM lot, clean the seed, treat with a fungicide (will slightly improve germination percent), check the germination percent and adjust plant populations. The Wheat Looks Gray and Has Dusty Spores Mature wheat that has been standing in the field has likely been colonized by saprophytic fungi (sooty mold). These are basically bread molds that use the dead wheat tissue as a food source. Most of these fungi do not produce mycotoxins. However, Fusarium sp. can also act as a saprophyte, which can lead to the production of vomitoxin and another mycotoxin fumonisin.

Thank you, as well, to my niece, Becky Ratzlaff, for flying with me on the very quick flight from Langdon to Grand Forks where we were met by my daughter, Sue, and her husband (Chad). Sue and Chad were with me the entire time I was at Altru and helped in so many ways. I would like to thank the Altru Health staff, as well, for the great care and compassion they provided.

By Rita Maisel
If Walls Could Talk Several weeks ago Linda Abar from Grand Forks stopped in to ask if anyone could help her find the store her grandfather had in Langdon from 1922-1940. She knew it was a grocery store probably on Main Street (renamed Third Street for younger readers). First we found her grandfather’s obituary which led to a statement that he had sold the grocery business to Nick Roehrich in 1933 and gone on to become a partner with William Stranger in an automotive garage thought by those we questioned to have been farther south on the same street. The obituary also mentioned Fred Abar selling his share of the dealership location to Farmers Union in 1940 and that he had sold farmland in Loam Township in 1940 giving the name of the farmland purchaser which descendants said was not correct. They were sure their father never had land in Loam Township. Maybe the clipping file story had listed the land in the wrong township. Further searching would be necessary. However, some facts were correct. Even I remembered the first Roehrich Fairway Store on Main Street and took for granted the Farmers Union in 1940 was where Fischer Surveying is today. Carol and Jimmy Roehrich, older of the four children in that family, had gone to Langdon Public School so several remembered the Roehrichs and that their store had moved over to the west end of Boyd’s Golden Rule Store around 1942. The original store building had other occupants in the 1940s such as a new Lutheran church planning to build in Langdon (Redeemer Lutheran), the Club Café and a Red and White Grocery Store. Later the building had been demolished by other owners of the site and a newer building constructed. On another visit Linda brought pictures of the original store with family members or store employees included in the picture. Those scenes showed bits and pieces of other buildings near their store. One picture showed Linda’s father as a boy near an outdoor stairway and
was marked “over the store”. The original building had probably had apartments above the store. Nearby brick walls looked like buildings still standing in Langdon so the site location was one that matched! The next stop had to be the county recorder’s office to see what land had been sold in 1940 by the Abars. The answer was none. The Abar family had moved to Grand Forks in 1940, but property sales at the courthouse only listed two sales in that era by Fred and Jennie Abar. Both of those sales were in October of 1943. The first sale was 240 acres of land in Loam Township. A sale the next day was his share of a business lot in Langdon to the Farmers Union. People with better memories than mine insisted the original Farmers Union had been across the street – south of the site now known as Fischer Surveying. When Linda Abar comes back with more information, we hope to find that some of the answers to her questions actually did come from identifying surrounding walls at sites on Langdon’s Main Street. Researching that story got more interesting when the subject of the Boyd Block sign arose. A spokesperson for that project listed the sign as 117 years old which would mean the Boyd store on that lot had been constructed in 1902. J. B. Boyd contributed several stories to Langdon history about his stores (plural!) in Langdon. I never did find the location of the first store erected in 1887 and had always understood it was mid-way down the west side of the next block. What he did provide was detailed information on hauling the wood used to construct the first store from Neche, which was the nearest railroad connection, and exciting stories of getting the materials plus limited sale items to the Langdon location. His store did not open until some time after the railroad reached Langdon in the fall of 1887. As the railroad extended he also had stores in Osnabrook (managed by his partner who died in the early 1890s) and in Hannah with various managers there. We do know he began building the brick building on the land now known as Boyd Block in 1902 when the town appeared to have a major building boom. Schulke, who also had a general merchandise business roughly where Thrivent is today, had a store closing sale in 1902 when he purchased the remains of the Palace
Cavalier County Republican
Langdon Long Ago
Hotel on the west side of the street “across from the new Boyd Store presently being built” according to old newspapers. Schulke intended to open his store first, but newspapers had several years of intermittent references to lumber famines, railroad strikes, problems with building supplies and unavailable stocks for the shelves of the new stores so Boyd opened his new Headquarters Store in November of 1902, and Schulke opened his new Trade Palace a few months later in 1903. The first interview I heard about the composition of the 117-year-old sign mentioned the guest should contact Langdon Long Ago for information – not a suggestion that made sense to the guest or to me listening at home. I knew I was not an expert on events that happened before my parents were born. As it happens, when the store burned I had written a story which Boyd family members appreciated which might have details forgotten over the years. To find a story we had to have a date for the fire, and the clipping file had no record of the store burning. Finding someone who knew when the store burned brought guesses of from 10 to 25 years ago. Eventually I went online to see if the information might be there and found the first paragraph of an interview the Grand Forks Herald had done with Larry Platz of the Langdon Fire Department which gave the fire date as September 7, 2004. Thanks to Duane Field, a dedicated scrapbook keeper, a copy of the fire story had been pasted in Duane’s collection of 2004 clippings along with numerous pictures. The actual date of the fire was September 5, 2004, and other details from Mr. Boyd’s memories of long ago were just a page or two away. What the library did have was framed pictures of the Boyd Block Store (also known as the original Golden Rule Store) donated by the Boyd family with help from Eileen Nelson and currently hanging in the library’s North Dakota Room. Interested readers can view at least four different views from the historic site with maybe a few surprises for careful viewers There are also some views of this store and others on the NDSU portion of Digital Horizons of other Langdon buildings known under the “block” designation. Ones I have seen on that site tend to list
“photographer unknown”. Older residents will remember a set of Langdon postcards, not yet located, which would make a nice column all by themselves. The postcards are thought to have been made from pictures taken by photographer/ dentist Tom Smith or maybe taken by W. R. Opie after he opened a photography studio here in 1906, or maybe some are earlier pictures taken by a duo who went by the name Whiskers and Moustache. One of those men was a Salter and the other may have been Taylor. Both appear to have gone on to settle in the newly opened Canadian Northwest early in the 1900s. The postcards had been sold as souvenirs in Langdon or given to potential customers as advertising. Some of these postcards were marked “lithographed for J. B. Boyd of Langdon, ND” by a company located in Germany. The postcard sets are thought to have included both the Boyd and Schulke stores, St. Alphonsus Church (construction begun in 1903), the Langdon Opera House (construction begun in 1903), the Winter Block (construction begun in 1902) which later became the Manson Bakery, the Cavalier County Courthouse constructed in 1895, and the Mooney Bank built in 1906 and now the home of the Eagles with possibly the Twin School which burned in 1911 included. An early Langdon jewelry or drug store had some of these same pictures engraved on the bowl of silver spoons. Donovan Block (still standing) was a double building housing several businesses at least part of which was built in the 1880s and is one of only a few original downtown businesses still standing. “Block” in building terms referred quite often to a multiple purpose building that could house one or more stores, living quarters and other amenities. However, a popular source of concrete construction supplies with roots in Osweego, Ontario, and later a second factory in London, Ontario, was run at times by two or three brothers whose name just happened to be Boyd. Yes, J. B. Boyd did come from Ontario and appears to have had numerous relatives still in that location. Boyd Brothers Concrete capitalized on building concrete blocks and signs which were sold widely in both Canada and the United States. A special feature of their blocks was that they were original-
ly termed “artificial stone”. There were three types of these artificial stones: flat with smooth surfaces, aggregate surfaces of natural stone, or flat surfaces with designs of aggregate material. As a source for the sign it might be worth checking out. In tying all these random bits of trivia together, it could be that pictures truly are worth a thousand words. Two pictures of the building in the same frame donated to the Cavalier County Library by the Boyd family are both taken on the Boyd Block location with at least one in the days when the store was known as the Golden Rule Store. The top picture has the same side window construction and location as the store most of us remember but does not have the same décor or front windows. That picture does have rolled up awnings and staff members sitting on wooden barrels. This could be a 1910 picture or even one taken on the day the store opened in 1902. The second picture has the Boyd Block sign above very tastefully remodeled arched windows with decorative frames on the upper level. The upper windows carry signs for the George Price Law Firm and Dr. Mugan’s Office and Surgery. There are memories of family relationships between Mrs. Price, Dr. Mugan and Mrs. Donovan (wife of Dr. Donovan). This second picture, which might date to the World War I time frame, has nicely dressed ladies in long skirts, no barrel seating and horse-drawn wagons in the background. Either a telephone or possibly electrical pole can be seen if you look closely. That picture is not dated either but might resemble World War I fashions. In the meantime, we will watch for more pictures, and readers may find some of the original post cards. The Courier-Democrat did have interesting advertisements when the store first opened on the Boyd Block site offering everything from groceries to china and dishes, shoes, furniture and fur coats. The furs came from a supplier in New York. There were in-house milliners, tailors and dressmakers as well as ready to wear clothing and lines of fine fabrics. In later years they had contests, “Boyd money,” and many innovative special events. If you took home bricks from the store after the fire, you may already have a piece of history in your hands.
Safe Kids Grand Forks to offer smart sitter babysitting class in Langdon Are your young adults interested in babysitting other people’s children or do they stay home alone for brief periods of time?
