Saxlund was originally from Lisbon before joining the United States Army National Guard in December of 1951 and deploying to Korea until August of 1952. Basic training for Saxlund and many of the North Dakota and Minnesota recruits during that time took place in Camp Rucker in Alabama. Following his completion of basic training, Saxlund was one of the recruits selected to be deployed as part of the 188th Field Artillery, Battery A. During his service he was Chief of Section and was also Platoon Sergeant.

The event that lead to Smith developing PTSD and ultimately attempting to end his life was an accident that occurred in 2004, when a young girl died after being in a car accident. Smith shared with the first responders present how that accident changed him as a person. It was 12 years later that the depression and PTSD came to a head, and Smith attempted to take his own life.

power for the line during and after missions any time of day. It wasn’t just the Korean soldiers that Saxlund had a view of but also the few civilians that were living in the area following the major push back of the Chinese the year prior. “There weren’t many civilians; we were on the side of a mountain, and there was some brush and that would grow in spots. The civilians would come up that mountain with A frames and pick up branches and that, tie on to the A frame. When they got that area cleaned out, they would get under their frame, lift it up and away they go,” Saxlund explained. "They had a tough life, the people that lived up towards the line. That whole country was pretty well cleaned out.” When Saxlund returned stateside, he worked for the North Dakota Highway Patrol and was a member of the North Dakota National Guard until 1956. He married his wife, Helen, in 1954 and raised two daughters. The 2019 Veterans Honor Flight has given Saxlund that chance to see the memorials honoring veterans like himself. The chartered plane carrying the 96 veterans along with staff and caretakers for some of the veterans left Fargo’s Hector International Airport on Sunday, October 20 at about 7 :30 a.m. “It’s a two and half hour nonstop flight.

MMCC struggles long-term with only short-term help Maple Manor Care Center (MMCC) is committed to providing quality and professional care to its long-term residents. However, in order to do that, MMCC administrator Connie Hakanson explains the facility has come to depend on contracted employees to do just that. We spent over a million dollars on contract staff last year.
nuses to paying for training in some positions, nothing has seemed to gain the facility the local employees it desires. “I wish money would be the issue. I also think it's more difficult to get people committed today than it was years ago cause everybody in this era jumps from one job to the next to the next to the next,” Hakanson said.
So when you look at that, if we could have had our own staff, we could have given some pretty healthy bonuses, but we can't do that cause we have to make every month count,” Hakanson shared. For Hakanson, the frustration with attracting the employees that are needed has been an ongoing issue. From offering incentives such as bo-
MMCC likes to have consistent employees on staff as this gives better care to the residents. Hakanson explained that when the staff are consistent from housekeeping to dietary aides and even maintenance, the level of care improves as the staff know the residents on a more personal level.

Cavalier County Commission takes care of business
The Cavalier County Commission had a lot of business to conduct at their recent meeting. The commissioners covered a wide range of county affairs from complaints to finances. The Commission spoke first with two county residents about the City of Sarles. The issue revolved around the city’s handling of snow removal as well as the use of county equipment and supplies. The commissioners heard the complaints, and without a representative from the City of Sarles present, tabled the issue until the next meeting. The next issue addressed had to do with county employees. Cavalier County HR Officer Crystal Beggs presented her findings for the salary comparison of Cavalier County employees to other counties. Beggs noted that there were several who were not within range of being market competitive with the biggest discrepancy in pay occurring within the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department. Beggs explained her methodology in creating the comparison as well as what was included, such as years of service and the recent 3 percent raise that was approved this past spring. The Commission approved raising the two salaries within the Sheriff’s Department that were the largest difference. The commissioners and Beggs then discussed the proposed time sheets that Beggs had created. The time sheets have been a topic of discussion with the Commission as a way to protect both the county and the employees. Beggs and the commissioners worked through several questions and scenarios for the use of the sheets. The main department that this new initiative is needed in is the road men. Beggs suggested having a meeting with the road men to fully explain why the Commission wants to implement this new method of timekeeping.
Langdon City Commission plans for long winter The Langdon City Commission had a short list of business to attend to on the evening of Monday, October 28. The main item of discussion was the preparation of the streets for winter that will not be able to have asphalt laid as the cold weather sets in. Moore Engineering’s Andrew Aakre, the project manager for the Langdon projects, was present to deliver the unfortunate news to the Commission. Aakre explained that there was a very narrow window for the asphalt to be laid despite the best efforts of Spruce Valley Construction workers. The plan going forward is to prepare the streets that will not receive the asphalt for the winter and clear the remaining construction equipment and debris. Aakre will also discuss with the contractor the maintenance of the streets during the winter and have contingency plans in case of mid-winter thaw. “Spruce Valley did whatever they could to make it [laying of asphalt] happen,” Aakre said. Following the last city commission meeting Aakre was in contact with USDA Rural Development to get supplemental funding. The funding will be used to take an additional six inches of dirt off the streets to make room for gravel or recycled aggregate. Aakre reported that all of the underground construction has been completed and temporary water pipes removed. Aakre did not have good news in terms of the issues with Quam Construction, the contractor used for Phase I. Aakre has yet to have a response from Quam for a plan on completing the remaining necessary corrections left over from Phase
I that were not addressed this past construction season. Aakre suggested giving the company until mid-June to complete the work or the city will have the ability, per the contract with Quam, to proceed with the work and not be liable for the cost. Commissioner Marty Tetrault presented the skid steer bid that was requested following last meeting’s report since the equipment used to clean the sidewalks previously had broken down. The bid was through a consortium pricing with Langdon Implement. The Commission reviewed the bid and discussed the merits of purchasing a new skid steer and snowblower for the city. Part of that discussion was if the city should even continue to clean the sidewalks on Main Street. Tetrault stated that the service came about because one business on Main Street did it for all the storefronts. When that owner sold and left, the city purchased the equipment and continued. Tetrault was unsure that that service should continue now that the equipment cannot be used. The supervisors, Jeff Hiller and Jason Busse, were in favor purchasing the 100hp skid steer with bidded attachments. Another aspect of the discussion had to do with the width of the machine and attachments as that would be too wide for some parts of the sidewalk on Main Street due to the trees. This led to whether or not the trees should be removed, and if so, how and when. The Commission ultimately approved the bid pending approval. In other business Langdon City Building Inspector Gary Bimler reported
that the owner of the Keck property has yet to review the property with him to determine its condition. The Commission will direct Langdon City Attorney Quentin Wenzel to send a letter to the owner to continue the condemning process. The commissioners approved advertising for bid the renting of Kakela farmland. Aakre presented the Rural Development Improvement warrant which will pay of the interim financing for the project and set up the long-term pay off. Aakre noted that interest rates have dropped since the bond initiative was first written, and with the decrease the city is projected to save $13,000 annually in payments. Over time, this will save the city about 10 percent from the initial project cost. The Commission did a roll call vote with all voting in favor.
Until that time, the time sheets have been tabled. Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner reviewed the 2018 audit report conducted by the state on Cavalier County. Gellner explained that a lot of the recommendations that the state made would have been resolved before the report was finalized if there had been better communication. Part of the discussion was how the county would be able to identify fraud if it were to occur. Commissioner Greg Goodman suggested that the county find training for the state audit with the possibility of the North Dakota Association of Counties providing the training. The commissioners and Gellner also discussed amending the 2020 budget for the county. Gellner reported that one mill is worth $55,000 which is above what had been projected. Gellner and the commissioners discussed the lowering of requested mills for the 2020 budget from 37 to 35 mills. The commissioners approved to decrease the mill levy to 35 mills for 2020. Cavalier County Sheriff Greg Fetsch informed the commissioners that the Cavalier County Jail has some issues with meeting standards. Fetsch explained that the standards for jails have increased which has also increased the paperwork when applying for grants or prior to an inspection. Fetsch gave the loan rates from area banks for the purchase of a new vehicle. The Commission approved the
loan from Farmers and Merchants State Bank. Another issue brought forward by Fetsch was the continued involvement of Cavalier County in the Drug Task Force. Fetsch explained that the fee for being a part of the task force is $7,500 annually with it possibly increasing to $10,000, should another investigator be hired. According to Fetsch, Cavalier County has not been able to utilize the task force as much as he would like for the amount that is paid. Fetsch and the commissioners also discussed the possibility of having a county public relations officer. Fetsch informed the commissioners that he had already discussed the possible position with the City of Langdon and explained his reasoning for why this would be a good move for the county. In other business The commissioners discussed the Custom and Border Protection decision to reduce the hours of operation for the Maida port. Commissioner Nick Moser informed the Commission that he has been actively seeking support from the district legislators to the governor's office to President Trump himself. The commissioners approved an emergency declaration for the county following the winter storm in early October. The Commission heard department updates from Emergency Management, Maintenance, and States Attorney’s office. The Weed Board has hired a new Cavalier County Weed Officer.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Welcome to the Twilight Zone I'll be honest....I have never actually watched the TV series Twilight Zone. With that being said, as an elder millennial, I am familiar with the general concept and idea behind the series. The opening narration of the episodes is both haunting and intriguing as it makes the mind conjure various scenarios. “It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.” The reason I find this so relevant, especially lately, is the weird situation occurring in the United States and around the globe. The phrase I would like to use to describe this situation is not appropriate for print. Let's just say it's the modern description of what happens when the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum infects the human brain. That phrase aside, if you are like me, you have now come to dread the morning review of news for this reason. It used to be pretty easy to spot sensationalism and “yellow journalism” which is otherwise known as trash publications or tabloids. From bizarre headlines to outrageous images, the “news” that was purveyed by these was more for a laugh than
really to do any type of actual informing of the general public. Now, however, that has changed. What is going on with modern news sources has crossed that shadowy line between satire and reality. No longer can headlines be easily identified as click-bait. No longer can one know by the end that this content within is not really what's going on. Reporting has gone down the rabbit hole as things just get weirder and weirder. It isn't just the reporting though, it's the entire system of humanity. What was considered fringe thinking is now front and center. Flat earthers, conspiracy theorists, you name it, and they have made their way to the mainstream. Science, that tried and true method of discovery and understanding, is suddenly no longer to be trusted. Anecdotal evidence, however, is the cornerstone upon which million dollar fads are being built. The Twilight Zone ran from October 1959 to June 1964, a total of five years and over 150 episodes. These episodes covered various genres from suspense horror, psychological thrillers to fantasy and science fiction. What they all had in common was the conclusion of a often unexpected twist accompanied by a moral. I am really starting to believe that the world has somehow slipped into a weird Twilight Zone where nothing makes sense and facts don't matter.

To the editor: A recent Legislative Update from SeTo the Editor: After WWII we joined the United Nations--to ensure peace. Has that worked? Human rights was another reason for the UN. It even has a “human rights” council (UNHRC)-with current and past members like Cuba, Lybia, Sudan, Somalia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc. The newest member? Venezuela! Outrage over the vote for Venezuela was expressed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: “China and Russia voted to put Nicholas Maduro on the UNHRC.… Maduro is

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
We are getting bigger… Have you ever watched that Smucker’s TV commercial where two boys are delivering jelly to their neighbors from a wagon in the early 1950s? If so, did you notice how thin those two boys appeared? Either one of them could have taken off their shirt and been the 98-pound weakling at the beach. I illustrate that commercial because this past weekend, my wife and I took a quick trip out of Minot to Arizona on Allegiant Airlines. It was very difficult to get comfortable in that airplane. It’s three seats on each side of the aisle, and I’m not sure how close the seats are in front of one another, but suffice to say there is no leg room. It brings up another point that I doubt few people ever think about, but I do all the time. When you order clothing on the Internet, there are a variety of sizes from extra

Dear Editor

purposely destroying the human rights of every Venezuelan.” And Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) issued a statement decrying the vote: “Every freedom-loving country around the world should be horrified by the decision to give Venezuela a seat on the Human Rights Council. How can Nicolás Maduro, who is committing genocide, be allowed to participate in defending human rights? ...This just proves that more and more, the United Nations is a joke.” Americans pay $8-$10 billion a year to this joke, more than the combined contributions of 180 other members. It's time to stop. Trump has withdrawn the U.S.
from the nuclear arms control treaty with Russia, the Paris Climate Agreement, the Iran Nuclear Deal, Trans Pacific Partnership, UNESCO (cultural agreement), UNHRC, and UNRWA (UN Relief and Works Agency). The next logical steps are to withhold financial support from the UN, end our membership, and move UN headquarters from New York City-perhaps to Caracas, Venezuela. Contact your U.S. representative to cosponsor HR 204 to accomplish this. Ask your Senators to introduce similar legislation. Sincerely, Duane Stahl Valley City

small to 5 and even 6X sometimes. That’s a wide range of sizes, and those sizes appear to only be available in the United States. Have you ever tried to order clothing from a Canadian, Australian or British company? If you have, you would know that the largest size you’re going to find is 2X, and most places don’t even offer that, only extra large, and that is usually a tad smaller than the extra large in the United States. What’s happening to us is we are becoming larger people over the generations. In 1950, those skinny boys in the Smucker’s commercial were the norm. Almost everybody was thin, and nobody ever thought there would be a difference. Today, a lot of young kids are considered obese, and I’ve heard of children as early as 12 years old taking cholesterol medication. This is also predicted to be the first generation that is not expected to live as long as their parents. How can this be overcome? Do you think North Dakota has the answer? Maybe! Most of us know what hard work is, and we can get people out in the field or the range and if they work hard all day, they will earn the calories they ingest. Just a minute. In theory that’s true, but how many of us actually sit down and eat a meal that had the balance of the meals the Smucker’s kids ate? I would be willing to guess not many. We have become so busy and fast food places have become so convenient that we gravitate toward those places and don’t often prepare meals at home anymore because they take time and you have to clean up the dishes afterward. Besides, you have to pay for food one way or another so why not make it easy? More people than you think carry that mentality, and it is causing us to be bigger, wider and heavier. Doctors often warn about risky
diets and what they can do to the human body. Most of us have disregarded that protocol because we love pizza so much, there’s a Burger King right down the street or most of us don’t have time to actually go through the motions to have a decent meal. We can always make the airplanes bigger and cram more jelly into those jars, but we are only fooling ourselves when we think about how to cheat a system so complex as the human body. For some of us it’s alcohol, which has a lot of calories, especially beer, and maybe that’s why Bud Light uses boat loads of advertising to get its clientele. It’s human nature for us to think that if we are drinking light beer, it’s fewer calories, therefore, we can drink more beer. In most cases, we’re going to be getting the same amount of calories. Recently, Michelob Ultra advertised having only 69 calories in a 12-ounce bottle. And when I see people drinking Michelob Ultra, they’ll chug a few down and get those cumulative calories. Some of the beer companies like Heineken and Beck’s have come up with nonalcoholic beer that tastes nearly identical to the original lager beers that were introduced years ago. And guess what? Yes, there are fewer calories in a bottle of Heineken NA than in a bottle of Michelob Ultra, and you’re not consuming alcohol. Now, if we could just get food companies to start thinking along that same path. Some have, but they’ve used ingredients that are generally harmful to the human body. What they need to do is create food that’s good for us but still tastes good and can be prepared quickly. That may be a tall order, but it might be the only way the United States will begin to shrink.

Geraldine Waltz
A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, November 2, 2019, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Geraldine Waltz, 88, of Langdon, who passed away Sunday, October 27, 2019, at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in Langdon. Geraldine Metzger was born August 18, 1931, in Mt. Carmel Township to Severius and Lucy (Perius) Metzger. She grew up and attended school in the Wales area. On June 11, 1952, she married Thomas Waltz at St. Alphonsus Church in Langdon. They made their home and raised their children on the Waltz family farm in Manilla Township. In
1990, they moved to Langdon. She was very involved in St. Alphonsus Catholic Church as a 1st grade CCD teacher for many years, a member of Catholic Daughters, and a member of Altar Society. She also loved doing adoration and watching EWTN. She was an active member of Homemakers in her younger years. She made quilts for every child and anyone who wanted one, macramed personal designs on lawn chairs for her family and friends, enjoyed gardening, canning, playing cards, traveling, camping, needlepoint, painting and almost any kind of craft. She was an excellent cook, especially rice rolls and perogies, which she passed down to the next generation. She also liked raising chickens when her children were younger. Surviving Geraldine are her children: Mary Jane (Jim) Foley of Far-
go, Rodney (Susan) Waltz of Deer Park, Wash., Roger (Colleen) Waltz of Langdon, and Loralyn (Wayne) Maixner of Lakota; grandchildren: Donald (Stephanie) Waltz, Stephanie (Wade) Haugland, Daniel Waltz, Chris Maixner (Jayme), and David Maixner; great-grandchildren: Kyleigh, Xavier, and Isla; siblings: Sr. Petronilla Metzger, Marilyn (Art) Gapp, and Josie (Ken) Bittner; sisters-in-law: Ruth Metzger, Mary Ann Metzger, Alice Metzger and Lorraine Metzger; and many nieces and nephews.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Pastor Adrian Olson of North Parish
In too many communities, the work of justice and compassion is hindered by the way we separate ourselves along lines of organization, denomination and religion. In our fear of one another and in our arrogance, we end up duplicating work, squandering resources that could be pooled and maximized, and even rejecting and offending those who need our love and ministry through our exclusivity, rigidity and close-mindedness. The impact of a forgiving attitude on these realities is not hard to discern. As we grow more ready to confess our own fear and sectarianism, we open ourselves to God’s forgiveness and healing, and we change, little by little, into the Christ-like, welcoming people we long to be. As we grow more ready
to forgive and understand those with whom we differ and to focus on our commonalities and shared values, we are able to offer forgiveness for perceived or actual hurts and to open doors to true collaboration. And as we become more practiced at giving and receiving forgiveness, so our communities begin to experience the grace and love that flows from followers of Christ to all people, and the benefit that can result from focused, collaborative efforts. In addition, the common perceptions of Christians as judgmental, aloof, self-righteous and uninvolved can be gently and slowly changed. This same truth can be applied, of course, on the level of interpersonal relationships and ministries, as much as to interorganizational ones.

Harvest Spirit
North Dakota Farmers Union provided area farmers with a token of thanks through their Lifting the Harvest Spirit effort by handing out lunches. Local Farmers Union Insurance agent Russ Stremick shared, “Our local farmers have so much on their plate right now. Increasing production costs and volatile prices and then to deal with the weather that we have had has really put everybody behind in this year’s harvest. Anything we can do to make a day for them a little easier we want to do to help our local farmers.” Pictured top left is Mary Mertens and Bri Sorensen, staff members of North Dakota Farmers Union with Russ Stremick, who gave area farmers lunch on Oct. 29 at the Langdon insurance location.

Langdon’s blood drive brings in 58 volunteers The Langdon community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on October 21 at St. Alphonsus Church which helped collect a total of 60 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 58 individuals volunteered to donate blood, and 48 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on October 21. A total of 11 donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. There were six people who volunteered for the first time. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Dennis Horpestad, who coordinated the drive, and Langdon Knights of Columbus which sponsored the blood drive, as well as, Dean Agnes, who assisted the day of the drive. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type,
are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases. Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donor rewards program. The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on: December 17, 2019. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.
For Langdon residents: there is a large red container located at the entrance of the Langdon Transfer Station for your compost material.

Be aware of meningococcal meningitis The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) has received reports of three individuals diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis in the past couple months; two have been confirmed by laboratory testing. Meningococcal meningitis is rare in North Dakota and the United States. Prior to 2019, the last cases were reported in 2014. Meningococcal meningitis is a severe infection of the bloodstream and meninges (the thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord) caused by the bacteria, Neisseria meningitidis. “People in close contact with the individuals who tested positive have already been notified and placed on antibiotics to prevent them from getting the disease,” said Jenny Galbraith, immunization surveillance coordinator with the NDDoH. Meningococcal bacteria is spread by sharing respiratory and throat secretions (saliva or spit). Generally, it takes close (for example, coughing or kissing) or lengthy contact to spread these bacteria. Fortunately, they are not as contagious as germs that cause the common cold or flu. According to Galbraith, “people do not catch the bacteria through

casual contact or by breathing air where someone with meningococcal disease has been. People who are not a close contact of someone with meningococcal disease do not need antibiotics.” Symptoms of a meningococcal infection include a fever along with either a severe headache, stiff neck or a rash. People experiencing meningococcal meningitis symptoms are urged to contact their primary health care provider. “Getting vaccinated is the most effective way to prevent meningococcal meningitis,” said Galbraith. There are two types of meningococcal vaccines. Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) protects against four serogroups (A, C, Y, and W-135) of N. meningitidis and is routinely recommended for all children 11 to 12 years of age. Adolescents should receive a booster dose at age 16. In North Dakota, all children entering seventh through tenth grade are required to be vaccinated with one dose of MCV4. Children entering eleventh through twelfth grade are required to be vac-
cinated with two doses of MCV4. North Dakota colleges and universities also require MCV4 vaccine. Active military are also routinely vaccinated with MCV4. Vaccines that protect against N. meningitidis serogroup B (Men B) are also available but are not required for school. People ages 16 – 23 who want to be protected against Men B may be vaccinated. Younger children and adults usually do not need meningococcal vaccines. However, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends one or both types of meningococcal vaccines for people of all ages with certain medical conditions, travel plans, or jobs. Maintaining healthy habits, like handwashing, getting plenty of rest, and not having close contact with people who are sick also helps prevent meningococcal disease. For more information, contact the NDDoH Division of Disease Control at 701-328-2378. Information about meningococcal disease can be found at www.cdc.gov/meningococcal/index.html.

Cardinals tame Jaguars 56-12 in opening round playoff win By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football began what they hope is another long, successful postseason run when they hosted Northern Cass in the opening round of the Class A 11-Man Football Playoffs on October 26. The Cards scored on all six of their first half drives pummeling the Jaguars 56-12. The Cardinals are now 10-0 on the season and will host Oakes in the playoff quarterfinals on November 2. It was a very windy day in Langdon for the Cards game with Northern Cass, and the west wind was blowing right down the field which made field position a pretty big deal. The Cardinals won the toss and deferred to the second half taking the wind at their back to start the game. After stopping the Jaguars on their opening drive and forcing a short punt, the Cardinals went right down and scored on a 13 yard touchdown pass from Simon Romfo to Jackson Delvo for the first score of the game. Following that TD, the Cardinals would repeat the same process forcing short Jaguar punts and putting two more touchdowns in the first quarter, one on a 26 yard touchdown pass from Simon Romfo to
Cooper Zimmer and the other on a one yard Grant Romfo run. Cardinals coach Josh Krivarchka smartly used his first half timeouts late in the first quarter, forcing Northern Cass to go into the wind and give the ball back to the Cards to begin the second. On the first play of the second quarter, Simon Romfo found daylight and streaked down the right sideline for a 48 yard touchdown run to make the score 30-0. Another Grant Romfo short TD and a Noah Anderson 11 yard catch and run made it 42-0 at the half. Langdon-Edmore-Munich saw one more touchdown from their first team offense in a 22 yard pass from Simon to Grant Romfo. After the Cardinals JV defense gave up two long touchdown runs late in the game, their younger offensive players had a nice drive, capped by and 18 yard run by freshman Gage Goodman to also cap the scoring. Throwing the football Simon Romfo had just one incompletion the entire game, going 13 for 14 and 219 yards through the air, and he went over 2,000 yards passing for the season in the contest. Simon was also the Cardinals leading rusher with 93 yards on just six carries. Delvo was the leading receiver with four catches for 64 yards. Colin Conteh led the Jaguars with 152 yards rushing on 22 carries.

Lady Cards kicking things into high gear late in the season By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer
Coaches and officials always say you want to be peaking at the right time in a season, and it certainly looks like the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals volleyball team is doing just that. In their last three regular season matches, they have only allowed teams to get over 10 points in a set just once. That is not just winning matches but dominating them. The Lady Cards swept Harvey-Wells County on October 24, St. John on October 25, and Rolette-Wolford on October 29. This puts the Cardinals record on the season at 32-3 as they near the end of their regular season schedule. Langdon-Edmore-Munich hosted Lakota on October 31, played a makeup match at home versus Grafton on November 1, and will entertain North Star on the Cardinals Senior Night on November 4. On that evening the Lady Cards five seniors -- Brooke Bakke, McKenna Belle, Calyn Crockett, Callie Ronningen and Kaitlynn Scherr - will be recognized along with their parents for their years of dedication to the Cardinals volleyball program. Here is a recap of their last three regular season matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2525-25, Harvey-Wells County 14-9-9 In the first match of their latest run, the Cardinals traveled to play the Hornets on October 24. After struggling a bit inthe first set, they played very well in sets two and three. The Lady Cards would have a high number of kills in this matchwith 41 total, and they nearly had three girls in double figures in that category. Callie Ronningen and Morgan Freije each had 10, while Lexi Olson had nine kills and Kaylee Lowery five. Langdon-Edmore-Munich served just over 90 percent for the match and were led by Calyn Crockett with seven service aces. Crockett also led the team with 33 assists. Defensively the Cards were solid with 67 digs, led by 20 from Olson and 16 from Lowery. Ronningen
had a double-double for the Cardinals with 11 digs to go along with her 10 kills.
BOXSCORE
LANGDON-EDMORE-MUNICH 25-25-25, HARVEY-WELLS COUNTY 145-9 Kills -- LEM: 41 (Callie Ronningen 10, Morgan Freije 10, Lexi Olson 9, Kaylee Lowery 6) Assists -- LEM: 36 (Calyn Crockett 33, Jalynn Swanson 2) Aces -- LEM: 12 (Crockett 7, Lowery 3) Blocks -- LEM: 8 (Crockett, Olson, Freije 2) Digs -- LEM: 66 (Olson 20, Lowery 16, Ronningen 11, Kaitlynn Scherr 8) Langdon-Edmore-Munich 2525-25, St. John 8-7-6 The Cardinals hosted St. John on October 25 in a makeup match that was postponed by a blizzard on October 10. The Lady Cards C and B squad teams played well in the matches leading up to the varsity, and the final match was more of the same. In a match that took just 46 minutes to complete, the Lady Cards were hitting on all cylinders against St. John, with 39 kills led by Callie Ronningen with 11, Morgan Freije with eight and also eighth grader Cora Badding with a career high of eight. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had their best serving night of the season, getting just over 97 percent of the serves across the net and missing on just two. They also had 21 aces for the match which was also near a season high. Calyn Crockett had a game high seven aces, followed by Morgan Thielbar with six and Lexi Olson with five. Crockett also led the team with 20 assists, followed by Jalynn Swanson with eight. On defense the Cardinals had 67 digs led by Ronningen who notched another double-double with 12 and 11 each from Olson and Kaylee Lowery. Kendra Prouty had seven kills to lead the Woodchucks.

Again the Lady Cards played very well, allowing just nine Comet points in the first two sets combined. It was 39 kills for Langdon-Edmore-Munich in this one, led by Callie Ronningen's 13, Lexi Olson with eight kills and Morgan Freije seven for the match. The Cardinals enjoyed another great night serving the volleyball at a 94.5 percent success rate. They had 22 aces with Cayln Crockett and Kaylee Lowery each having six to lead the way. Crockett also had another good night setting with 28 assists followed by Lowery with four. On defense the Cards ended with 55 digs from 10 different players led by Olson with 11, Lowery with nine and Kaitlynn Scherr with eight.

November bringing on the cold As most of you read these words, we are expecting a decent start weather wise into the month of November, but don't expect to last very long, as it appears that 20 degree high temperatures are in store for us at least the first half of the month. The cold and freezing temperatures has at least helped farmers continue what seems like an endless harvest. It looks to very a little chilly for a possible playoff football game in Langdon on Nov. 9, which would be for the right for the Cardinals to advance to their third straight Dakota Bowl at the Fargodome. But before any of that, the Cards need to get by a talented Oakes squad on Nov. 2. We wish them the best of luck on what has been another fantastic high school football season. Senior Night for Lady Cards Volleyball Nov. 4 The last home match of the season for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team is
coming on Nov. 4 when they host the North Star Bearcats. Five seniors -- Callie Ronningen, Calyn Crockett, Kaitlynn Scherr, Brooke Bakke and McKenna Belle will be recognized before the match along with their parents for their great dedication to the Lady Cards program. Their opponent that night will be on of the more tougher teams that they have played as of late, as the Bearcats are led by sophomore hitter Danielle Hagler. But the Cardinals have been playing some great volleyball as of late, and they should be up for the challenge, as it will be a fun match to watch. After this match, the Cards will get ready for the Region 4 Volleyball Tournament, which will be held in Devils Lake Nov. 11-14. Hopefully you can get and see their last match at home this season on Nov. 4. Cross Country season comes to an end The State Cross Country Meet was held in Minot on Oct. 26. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys and girls teams both finished in the top 10 of their respective divisions, with seniors Elise Ramberg and Blaine Perry each
making the all-state team by finishing in the top 20 individually. We congratulate both teams, especially the seniors mentioned above plus two more elder classmen in Arik Christianson and Logan Harder. It was a banner year for Coach Todd Hetler and his teams, which finished the best they have at state in several years. Congrats to all. November mean things are cooking at Dakota Spirit Arena Practices have begun for all levels of Langdon Blades hockey. They actually began the last week of October, but the month November means things really start happening. It's just practicing for now, but games will start rolling the weekend of Nov. 16. In the week ahead, there is a board meeting on Nov. 4 at 6:00pm, and a referee seminar at the arena on Nov. 7 at 6:00pm. The Langdon Skate Club has also begun, and for more information on anything going on at the arena call 701-256-5242, or check out their website at dakotaspiritarena.org. "See ya!" next week!

Elise Ramberg and Blaine Perry were named to the All State Cross Country Team.
The spirit of competition I have been privileged to be able to observe a remarkable young man and the many people around him who worked together so he could compete. I am talking about a young man from the Langdon community named Edward Freer. Edward is legally blind but works hard every day to live a full life. Edward just finished his second season as a cross country runner. This year he participated in the cross country state meet in Minot for the first time. A young man at the state meet named Cade Woods, son of Michal and Dayna Woods, a 2019 graduate of Magic City Campus in Minot, ND, spent his Saturday afternoon as Edward's visual guide at the state meet. Cade is a student pursuing his education at UND but was willing to volunteer his time so that Edward could compete. I have had the opportunity to watch Edward develop over the past three years where high school athletes would run with him, starting by holding his hand and graduating to giving him verbal ques guiding him on his runs. I have watched varsity athletes and coaches take turns running and giving verbal ques to Edward at the JV or JH races. I have seen the joy in his face when he exclaimed to me that he was not the last runner! I
watched a community volunteer, Steve Hart, run with Edward at the regional meet expressing to me that when Edward turned the corner to sprint to the finish line, he had to just let him go! Edward embodies the spirit of competition and the ability for anyone to able to participate in high school athletics. This is also an example of the level of effort a team and community will go to make sure our kids of all ability levels and challenges get their opportunities. We have a lot to be proud of.

USDA encourages affected producers to contact agents for delayed harvest Producers can file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said today that producers who currently participate in Federal crop insurance and are experiencing a delay in harvesting their crop should contact their Approved Insurance Provider (AIP) to file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest. Producers in several states, including Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, have been affected by extremely wet and snowy conditions early this fall. “Farmers are having a hard time with weather this year, and this early fall snow is just another example of this year’s weather challenges,” said Martin Barbre, Administrator of USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA). “Impacted producers covered by Federal crop insur-
ance should contact their insurance agent as soon as possible to determine what actions they can take.” Producers must file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest before the end of the insurance period, so that Federal crop insurance claims are settled based on the amount of harvested production. The end of the insurance period for crops such as spring-planted wheat and barley is October 31 and for corn and soybeans is December 10. AIPs may allow additional time to harvest, on a case-by-case basis, when all of these conditions are met: • The producer gives timely notice of loss to his or her crop insurance agent. • The AIP determines and documents that the delay in harvest was due to an insured cause of loss. • The producer demonstrates

that harvest was not possible due to insured causes, such as wet conditions preventing access to the field with equipment or that harvesting under such conditions would damage equipment. • The delay in harvest was not because the producer did not have sufficient equipment or manpower to harvest the crop by the end of the insurance period. When an AIP authorizes additional time to harvest: • The end of the insurance period is not extended. Rather, the producer is granted additional time to attempt to harvest the crop to settle any loss based on harvested production. • Any additional damage to the insured crop during the extension period is covered provided it is due to an insurable cause of loss like excessive moisture. Contact: FPAC Press Desk FPAC. BC.Press@usda.gov • The producer’s crop insurance policy will cover loss of quality (as specified in the crop provisions), reduced yields, and revenue losses if revenue coverage was chosen. • The cost of drying the harvested crop is not covered. More Information More information on requesting assistance due to delayed harvest is available on RMA’s website. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at rma.usda.gov..

Due to a statewide flood emergency, the removal of all hay bales on North Dakota highway rights of way has been extended until Friday, November 15. Hay bales remaining on rights of way after November 15, will be removed as directed by the District Engineer. The bales need to be removed for snow management and safety reasons. North Dakota Century Code prohibits hay from being placed in the right of way except on the outer edge. Large round bales must not be placed on in-slopes or within 60 feet from the outside edge of the driving lane.

Programs that may assist farmers and ranchers now
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said that farmers and ranchers may be eligible for certain federal programs even before a secretarial designation is in place. Programs such as the Farm Service Agency’s Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) and Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) are available when a loss occurs. “We are aware of fences being destroyed due to heavy, wet snow or from water running through ravines and low-lying areas. Fences have taken a toll, even fences that were established a few years ago,” Goehring said. “ECP is available to help replace border fences and cross fences.” ECP is a cost-share program which will provide up to 75 percent of the cost to implement approved restoration practices, including eligible fence replacement. Goehring said the FSA county committee must determine if their county would be eligible for the program in order to authorize it. ELAP provides payments to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish to help compensate for losses due to disease, adverse weather or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires. ELAP assistance is for livestock feed and grazing losses. LIP provides benefits to livestock owners and some contract growers for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality that are the direct result of an eligible adverse weather
event. Producers may inquire with FSA to see if any of these programs are applicable to their situation. “We know FSA is very busy managing many programs and we thank them for their hard work on the Market Facilitation Program, Agriculture Loss Coverage program and Price Loss Coverage program,” Goehring said. “To help keep things running smoothly, we ask that producers inquire about programs and eligibility before filling out an application.” As of Sept. 30, 19 counties are eligible for the Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+). WHIP+ provides payments to eligible producers who suffered eligible crop or prevented planting losses resulting from natural disasters including floods and snowstorms. A list of currently eligible counties is available at https://www.farmers. gov/recover/whip-plus/eligiblecounties. Producers not in these counties may also be eligible, but must supply documentation establishing that crops were directly impacted by a qualifying disaster event. “Dated photos are helpful in illustrating the loss, along with a date that the adverse conditions or weather caused the loss,” Goehring said. “Be aware of harvest deadline dates and make sure you contact your agent for any remaining crop left in the field so they can appraise and adjust the loss. This information is needed when you apply for WHIP+, which works to expand coverage beyond crop insurance.”

Brush with the Bunch
I think I should comment on my last article. I did this article some time ago and put it in “storage“, and when I retrieved it, it could not be edited or added to. So it went incomplete, mistakes, omissions and all. I guess that the last article I did “Where are your paintings hanging?“ is the “last“ article in this series. I want to thank all the Brush Bunch members who took part. The ones who took part did a fantastic job in their presentation. I had this article, last week‘s, ready several weeks ago Wyoming but did not need it at that time as three or four Brush Bunch members sent in their articles. This was my “spare one.“ You still have time to let us know where some of your paintings ended up at. So far our paintings have gone to: Mesa, Ariz., Pahrump, Nev., Dallas, Texas, Breckenridge, Minn. and the following places in North Dakota- Rolla, Fargo, Langdon, Grand Forks and, of course, Walhalla. How many more places we may never know. Shown is the Brush Bunch at our last art show in 2019. Our Theme for our 2020 Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale # 49 is “Country Memories!“ It will be interesting to see what paintings and photos we can come up with. Mark your calendar for the first weekend in May 2020. Quiz: Know your states- what state was the first to allow women to vote? Answer found in the above article. Is this Spring?

NDFU calls for acceleration of MFP payments; WHIP-Plus program enhancement North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) called for acceleration of Market Facilitation Program (MFP) payments to farmers impacted by the trade war with China, rather than delay payouts until November and January. “Regardless of an expectation that maybe soybean purchases from China will happen yet, the market doesn’t move on potential. It moves on realities,” said NDFU President Mark Watne. In August, farmers who enrolled in the MFP received 50% of a calculated payment for crops covered under Title 1 of the Farm Bill. Payments varied by county to county, ranging from $15 to $150 an acre. At that time, USDA said a second 25% payment would be paid in November and the final 25% in early January, if market conditions and trade opportunities failed to improve. “The farm economy is worsening and excess moisture in the fields is making harvest virtually impos-
sible across the state,” Watne said. “Farm families need income now. Getting cash into their hands will help with operating loans and minimize interest on those loans.” He said USDA also needs to consider payments for non-exported crops that have been impacted domestically by the trade war and additional basis and transportation costs. Currently, 42 of 51 counties in North Dakota are designated as disasters. Watne urged producers to keep submitting documentation to the state’s congressional delegation, especially in light of USDA’s WHIPPlus program that assists producers with losses incurred due to excessive moisture and snowfall. “It is our understanding, the program is capped at $3 billion nationwide. That cap should be removed to address the magnitude of the disaster here in North Dakota and in multiple regions of the country,” Watne said.

Ag producers should contact agents if harvest is delayed Producers in several states, including North Dakota and Minnesota, have been affected by extremely wet and snowy conditions this fall. “Impacted producers covered by crop insurance should contact their insurance agent as soon as possible to determine what actions they can take,” encourages Ron Haugen, North Dakota State University Extension farm management specialist. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency, producers should file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest before the end of the insurance period. In North Dakota, the end of the insurance period is Oct. 31 for spring wheat and barley, Nov. 15 for sugarbeets and Dec. 10 for corn and soybeans. Insurance providers may allow additional time to harvest, on a case-by-case basis, when all of these
conditions are met: • The producer gives timely notice of loss to the crop insurance agent. • The insurance provider determines and documents that the delay in harvest was due to an insured cause of loss. • The producer demonstrates that harvest was not possible due to insured causes, such as wet conditions preventing access to the field with equipment or that harvesting under such conditions would damage equipment. • The delay in harvest was not because the producer did not have sufficient equipment or manpower to harvest the crop by the end of the insurance period. If the insurance provider authorizes additional time to harvest, the end of the insurance period is not extended. Rather, the producer is granted additional time to attempt to harvest the crop to settle any loss based on harvested production.
Any additional damage to the insured crop during the extension period is covered, provided it is due to an insurable cause of loss such as excessive moisture. The producer’s crop insurance policy will cover loss of quality (as specified in the crop provisions), reduced yields and revenue losses if revenue coverage was chosen. The cost of drying the harvested crop is not covered. “If there is significant snow cover, if the crop is under water or if extreme wet conditions exist, it may be impossible for your insurance provider to perform final inspections to obtain accurate appraisals,” Haugen cautions. Contact your insurance agent for more information on crop insurance issues.

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings
October 1, 2019 On October 1, 2019, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session. David Zeis was not in attendance. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Vice Chairman Nick Moser called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Moser asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Nick Moser stated he had been contacted and asked if the courthouse would store records in file cabinets for a cemetery. The commissioners were against it due to the fact that there isn’t anywhere secure to store them that would have adequate accessibility as well as the liability it would create. Mark Schneider stated that County 55 was needing to be bladed and asked why it hasn’t been kept up since the gravel project. Austin Lafrenz stated he was aware of the condition of the road and would get his operator to blade it again when he is finished mowing roadsides. Tom Borgen discussed possible salary adjustments, the role of HR, and the budget for 2020 with the commissioners. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, together with Jon Markusen and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners to discuss future road projects.

Stewart also discussed an engineer letter received for a Conditional Use Permit in Glenila Township for a cell tower. Stewart stated he felt the cell tower company would need to provide a letter stating that the tower they are ordering will be in compliance with the mid-point collapse requirements in the Conditional Use Permit.

Page 16 – Monday, November 4, 2019
By Rita Maisel
The eye problems that have slowed me down for awhile should soon be corrected so this week’s research was put on hold, and the column space was used for historic trivia or other topics. Impeachment. This word has been in headlines for weeks or maybe years as a means of last resort when dealing with real or suspected presidential failures so some readers who did not remember President Andrew Johnson wondered about him and why he was the first to have undergone impeachment proceedings. Andrew Johnson was from a poor family in Tennessee and had no formal schooling. Some of his biographical sketches say he could neither read nor write. That might be partially true. However, he did have some other talents. As a boy he was apprenticed to a local tailor and appeared to have been quite skillful in that line of business. Eventually he had his own tailor shop which is now part of the memorial presidential site in his home state. Johnson’s career took a real boost when he got married at age 19. His young wife was beginning a teaching career. While he worked on sewing the dress clothes of wealthy or important men, his wife read aloud to him. The papers and books she read to him concerned politics and the issues of the day. During the evenings when light was not good enough for him to stitch or design the suits he made, his wife taught him to sign his name and possibly enough penmanship to jot
Cavalier County Republican
down notes for debates on many subjects. Entering politics, he was elected governor of Tennessee, and some mentioned how fashionably he dressed for political and state events. There were Whigs, Democrats, Republicans and Radical Republicans running for offices in the 1860 presidential election. Abraham Lincoln was chosen as the Republican candidate for president with Democratic Johnson as Lincoln’s vice president. The party hoped the joint points of view would help to settle the controversial slavery issue. Instead, war broke out, and in 1863 Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was made public enraging both enemies and former supporters. After the war had been declared at an end, southern sympathizer John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln, and Johnson moved up to finish out Lincoln’s second term in office. The Civil War had decimated the railway system all across the nation as well as major battles in or around many of the cities north and south. Reconstruction was the top order of the day. Northerners wanted the southern states that had seceded punished and made to pay for the war. Lincoln had hoped to follow a more lenient line of thought, and southern states had voted many of their former slave owning leaders back into office. Johnson attempted to follow the plan Lincoln had begun. Radical Republicans disliked the plan and brought the impeachment charges. One source mentioned that Johnson did not attend the subsequent trial, depending on his attorney to speak for him. The Senate vote was very close, and by a single vote Johnson became the first president to be impeached but was not removed from
Langdon Long Ago
office since another election was on the horizon. Johnson went back to Tennessee and again became active in politics. Friends in Tennessee voted for Johnson to represent them as the senator from Tennessee, so the Johnsons returned to Washington a short time later. By that time former general Ulysses S. Grant, a northern Democrat, had been elected for his turn at the presidency, and along with later presidents spent much of his time in office dealing with the problems of reconstruction. The second impeachment was that of President Clinton in more recent years. My memory is that after the trial and extensive media coverage, Clinton also finished out his term in office. Should the present charges lead to a third impeachment trial it is possible President Trump, innocent or guilty, would also finish out his time in office. 1930’s Stories Continued. There were topics that were too difficult to include in last week’s column and others that were cut because I felt some might think them too trivial. The column did deal, at least in part, with the contributions of widows and children when young men, primarily farmers but not farmers alone, died in tragic situations. Some of the tragic circumstances might have been considered suicide, but others were not. Each situation was different, and I did not feel justified in outlining, even briefly, stories with too many personal details. The stock market crash of 1929 and the sporadic closing of banks did lead to various types of suicide. One was the shock of hard-working individuals losing land, finances and families through no real action or intention of their own. Another might have been wealthy bankers whose decisions
Halloween Spooktacular The Langdon Area Chamber of Commerce held its Halloween Spooktacular event on October 26. They had over 250 kids dress up and participate in the event. Even some of the businesses dressed up for the day! Kids went “trick or treating” to local businesses in Langdon. If the kids filled their pumpkin pass, they were eligible for door prizes that were given away at the end of the event at the Langdon Activity Center. Photos by Lori Peterson.
certs featured more small groups (trios, quartets etc.), but the current musicians have opportunities to perform with region or state-wide groups which we did not. Appearance had to be a major factor for both groups. In our day we were cautioned to dress alike: white blouses for the girls and white shirts for the boys with primarily black skirts or pants. Today’s performers are more colorful. In 2019 the boy’s shirts were a rainbow of color while the girls seemed to favor gray, black or more neutral shades. Hair styles are always changing, and today the musicians may well have had a different color hair than the last time you saw them or what they will exhibit next week. Long ago teenagers were not that brave regarding either style or color. I seem to remember we wore relatively conservative shoes – mostly dark colors, and boys were proud to have their shoes freshly shined. Where the ladies of today shine their shoes: every kind and style of boots, sneakers, flipflops and almost invisible Cinderella’s slippers. While some of the musicians had ruby colored shirts, Dorothy’s magic ruby shoes from the Wizard of Oz were not in view. The late Marty DeVold was one of a long list of teachers who felt students at Langdon might some day have a use for other languages so when no lessons were offered in the languages desired for college entrance or graduation, she had us sing in other languages: Latin, French and even Spanish. Current band and choir students had a wide range of rhythms, lyrics and even instruments from other lands to add to their music. However, one of the numbers was chosen just for its humor “If You’ve Only Got A Moustache”. It was a cleverly done song to send the concert-goers home with a smile on their faces. Special thanks to directors Curt Kram and Kim Hart for their innovative musical presentations. The concert was also a reminder of a long ago Langdon organization begun one winter in the early 1930s. Ed Franta wrote from time to time about the men in Langdon attempting to grow moustaches and their adventures. Wives were quoted as finding the whole project a waste of time. As spring approached they planned a gala gathering when winners in their contest would be awarded a prize. Invited to attend was Judge Dorval, a Langdon attorney and judge for many years. The Judge wore a luxurious moustache and had since his arrival in Langdon some 45 years before. Pictures of him at various ages can be found in the Langdon Centennial book for those who never met him. Apparently none of the younger men could match his moustache, so Judge Dorval won all the prizes of the evening.
had caused this hurt to others and committed suicide when faced with that reality. More common than suicide or death by natural causes were two other groups who left agricultural states in large numbers. In some cases whole families felt they had lost everything so moved wives and children to another location and rarely came back. Another group were the men who left wives and children living near relatives, hopped on a train and spent many years wandering in search of their own “Big Rock Candy Mountain.” The novel by that name was written by a man who lived at Osnabrock (name changed in the book) and recounted the tribulations from which people he knew never escaped. Many from our area were drawn to Washington and Oregon with the possibility of work on major WPA construction, orchards and forestry occupations. Whole branches of families from Cavalier County still live in those areas. Later World War II would draw many from our area to work in factories connected to the war effort, and many who were teens or children in the 1930s would serve in military branches. On the trivial side, when seen at a distance of 80 or more years, were some of the grasshopper stories. As kids, several remembered being given a jar with a lid (no plastic then so the jars must have been glass) and sent out to pick grasshoppers off the plants in the garden or the light colored clothes on the wash line or wooden clothes racks. We raced to see who could fill their jar the fastest, and the winner might get a cookie for a treat. The jars of insects with the lid tightly screwed on might be dead by the next day, and we had the consolation of knowing we had done our part to save the frail plants in the garden. During World War II we collected earthworms after every sprinkle of rain and fed them to the chickens penned up in many backyards in Langdon. Concert memories. Oct. 28 was the fall band and choir concert, which is always a treat, so in spite of not seeing where I was driving I did not want to miss this annual event. It was one of their more memorable concerts with some really special numbers. The event also raised a few questions about how this was different from the concerts of teenagers my age who might have been present as grandparents or even great-grandparents. The current crop of young musicians appeared to me to be more polished and more confident of performing in public. Today’s bands have more instruments than we had at our disposal, and the high school choir seemed larger than last year but maybe not as large as when we had boys and girls glee clubs involving everyone in our grade level plus a mixed choir who did other types of music than the glee clubs. Long ago con-
