went to the Leyte Gulf area in the Philippines. During one ferocious battle in December 1944, the Orca’s planes picked up and rescued hundreds of survivors from the destroyer, USS Cooper (DD-659). During Olson’s time aboard the Orca, the Orca earned three battle stars for service in World War II. She also was commended, along with her squadrons, by United States Army General Walter Krueger, U. S. Sixth Army commander, for landing scouts behind Japanese lines, carrying supplies to Philippine guerrilla forces, and evacuating wounded personnel during the Philippines campaign. During some the transit days to the Philippines, Olson related an incident in which he and his ship came close to going down. The story is memorialized in a story by an anonymous war correspondent titled “The Saga of the U.S.S. Orca (AVP-49).” January 2, 1945, three Japanese kamikaze planes were bombing the ships in Olson’s convoy. Olson said that as he reached to the ceiling, one flew over their main mast so close he could have reached up and lit a match if he had one. The cont. on page 2
North Forty becomes The Upper Decker By Melissa Anderson Republican Editor The well-known North Forty Bar in Milton has found new owners in Jason and Stacey Decker. The bar will remain mostly the same, but there is one major change that the Decker’s have implemented. “The bar is now 'The Upper
Decker' - formally the North Forty,” Jason Decker said. Originally from California, the couple, along with their daughter, Tru, have been living in the area for nearly two years. Stacey is a teacher at Langdon Area Schools. “One of my wife’s childhood friends is from here. We came up and vacationed with them. Her getting a job just kind of sealed the deal,” Decker said. Jason has been facing health
issues for the past few years, and now that he is in the clear, needed to find his new career in North Dakota. “I’ve spent the last two years having surgeries. I’ve been back and forth the past 14 months. I've walked down to the bar every morning to grab the mail and a caesar and couldn’t get that for sale sign out of my
head,” Decker shared. "With my wife urging me to find a job, the time had come for me to find work, and the bar interested me. So we decided to buy,” Decker said. The former North Forty Bar had been listed for sale for awhile before garnering the interest of the Deckers. After consideration, the Deckers contacted the previous owners and cont. on page 3

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson It’s tough working in news Three of the Cavalier County Republican’s sister newspapers were forced to cease printing last month. The closings were covered by the Bismarck Tribune and the news spread by the North Dakota Newspaper Association and the North Dakota Association of Counties. The loss of those community newspapers will be felt. Like many businesses across the state, the reason for the papers to stop printing was for lack of employees, specifically for writers - the all important supplier of news. Being a writer for this newspaper, I understand the struggle to not only find someone who is capable of delivering local news but also of keeping that person on staff. This job can be frustrating- very frustrating. It has its moments of pride in sharing great news and articles that will hopefully garner change, but a lot of the writing week in and week out is similar. The pendulum sways between boring and fun, numerous happenings worthy of print and absolutely nothing going on. That’s just the job. What comes
with the job is a lot of background noise to make the articles complete. A writer has to make sure articles are accurate and honest, along with providing necessary information to get the message across. Sometimes that’s easier said than actually done. Staffing a newspaper requires patience and a whole lot of luck- from the top position of publisher who calls the shots and is the ultimate reason a paper will be successful to the person who creates the ads that make the printing of the paper possible. Without the revenue generated from the ads, the paper cannot survive. Like cogs in a clock, without these three pillars - it’s really hard to keep a paper going even if subscribers are numerous. Keeping the people who make a paper possible at a time when there is employment possibilities pretty much everywhere is hard. Employers have to be competitive in the search for employees, and newspapers are currently not in a favorable position to secure the people needed to make a newspaper. The Cavalier County Republican thanks its subscribers and advertisers for supporting the only newspaper in Cavalier County still in print, and we hope to keep printing.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Why not take a staycation… In the eight years I worked at the Minot Daily News, I did a segment every Monday called “On the Road.” It was well received by many readers, and I really enjoyed doing it. “On the Road” followed a long-time curiosity I’ve had about people and places in North Dakota that don’t get much attention, if any. After high school, I began traveling when I had the chance and discovered some of the state’s secret treasures. •The Lake Metigoshe area is a popular spot for people in the northwest, but most people south of I-94 don’t know anything about the third largest lake in the state. Everyone should. It’s North Dakota’s best-kept secret. •Right up there with Lake Metigoshe is the Pembina Gorge. Have you ever been there? If not, it’s stunning no matter what time of year you go. There’s always something to see and do in the gorge. •Can anyone outside of Valley City describe the community of Kathryn or the drive to get there? If not, you need to take the county road south of Valley City that takes you right to Kathryn. It will shock you, especially in the fall. And while your at it, continue the picturesque drive to Fort Ransom and get a forgotten history lesson. •If you take N.D. Highway 1804 south of Bismarck and drive that winding road all the way to N.D.

Highway 13, which is west of Linton, you’ll find another surprise. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of acres of irrigated potatoes north of Beaver Bay that are generally contracted to Cavendish Farms in Jamestown. •Cartwright, nearly on the Montana border in McKenzie County near Fairview, is another potato and sugar beet producing area. It’s in the Yellowstone River Valley and is just like the Red, only on a smaller scale. •Have you ever heard of Battleview? Most people haven’t. There isn’t much there anymore, but if you visit, you’ll find some striking scenery of cattle and farm country blended together. •The confluence of the Pembina and Red Rivers is also a significant spot in North Dakota, at least historically, yet few people have visited. If you don’t know, the confluence was the site of the first settlement in what would later become Dakota Territory. The Northwest Company built a fort there in 1797, two years before George Washington died. •Have you ever seen Lake Ashtabula? Again, people in Valley City as well as Cooperstown will most likely know all about it. Outside the area, however, it’s doubtful many people know about the recreation there. It has become quite a popular cottage destination, as more people build cabins along either side of the north-south lake. •There’s an obscure place northeast of Dunseith that was probably my most intriguing “On the Road” segment. Just below the Canadian border, there is a tucked away spring that was said to be a Holy Water spring used by Father Bellecourt in the 1840s and ‘50s. The spring was

memories. Yet some families will become newly aware that a loved one is addicted to drugs or alcohol, while other families are preparing for yet another holiday that might be ruined by one already in the family. You should be familiar with the signs that your loved could be struggling with addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. An addict or alcoholic will tell you anything to convince you that they are doing good. Be mindful of the things that will actually tell you if they are doing well or not. If you notice that things
hard to find. It was in a grove of trees in what is now a livestock pasture. The day I found the spring, crocuses were blooming all over the place. •Speaking of Dunseith, north of town is San Haven, a sanitarium owned by the state that is now vacant and vandalized. It’s a huge place; it’s just too bad it has to sit vacant as people traveling U.S. Highway 281 can see. •Amidon is a little town of only 22 people in the southwest, but there are three unique things about Amidon. It’s the county seat of Slope County and more people work in the courthouse than population of the community. As you drive through town on U.S. Highway 85, you’ll see a police car sitting in an alley with a radar gun at the ready. It’s actually an old Royal Canadian Mounted Police car with a dummy sitting in it to deter speeders. •White Butte is south of Amidon. It sports the highest elevation in North Dakota at 3,506 feet. It’s obviously a very large hill, and when you compare sea level at Pembina at about 700 feet, that’s quite a change in elevation from northeast to southwest. •Riverdale is a unique community. It was built by the U.S. government in the 1940s to house workers building the Garrison Dam. If you drive around town, it will feel like you are on an Air Force base or Army post, just by the way the town site is laid out. There are literally thousands of spots like this across the state. Typically, all we see is what’s on the interstate highways, which is pretty dull. We all need to explore and find those treasures.

NDSU Extension, FSA to Host Disaster Recovery Webinar
This soybean field near Sykeston in Wells County can’t be harvested. (NDSU photo) A secretarial disaster declaration has activated several U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance programs for farmers and ranchers in North Dakota. North Dakota State University Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) are hosting a webinar Thursday, Dec. 5, to provide producers with information on available disaster recovery assistance. The webinar will begin at 2 p.m. Central time. “Because of flooding and the October blizzard which impacted growing and harvesting conditions in the state this year, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue approved a secretarial disaster declaration request for 47 counties in North Dakota,” says Lindsey Abentroth, public affairs/outreach specialist in the North Dakota FSA office. “The approval of the declaration activated several USDA assistance programs for farmers and ranchers.” Producers in all 53 North Dakota counties are eligible for assistance. However, additional documentation will be required from producers in counties not covered in the declaration. “NDSU Extension and FSA of-
fices have been fielding questions from farmers and ranchers regarding assistance programs such as eligibility, required documentation and program deadlines,” says Miranda Meehan, Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. “We will be hosting the disaster recovery assistance webinar to help address these questions.” The FSA offers disaster assistance and low-interest loan programs to assist agricultural producers in their recovery efforts following floods, blizzards or similar qualifying natural disasters. Available programs and loans include: • Emergency Loan Program This is available to producers with agricultural operations in a county under a primary or contiguous secretarial or presidential disaster designation. These low-interest loans help producers recover from production and physical losses. • Loan servicing - FSA loan customers have options during financial stress. Borrowers who are unable to make payments on a loan should contact their local FSA farm loan manager to learn about the available options. • Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity Program+ (WHIP+) WHIP+ provides assistance to eligible producers who suffered losses to crops affected by qualifying natural disasters. Crops intended for grazing are not eligible. Qualifying disaster events must have occurred between Jan. 1, 2018, and Dec. 31, 2019. In North Dakota, the WHIP+ qualifying disaster events are flooding, snowstorms, tornadoes and wildfires. Producers in a primary presidential-declared or secretarial-designated disaster county for the qualifying disaster event are eligible. If a primary designation or declaration did not occur, the County FSA Committee can review producer documentation to show the loss was due to a qualifying disaster event. Eligible crops may be insured with federal crop insurance, NAP coverage or uninsured. • WHIP+ML - The Milk Loss Pro-

National WIFE convention in Fargo By Marlene Kouba The 43rd National Women Involved in Farm Economics (WIFE) Convention was held in Fargo on November 13-16, 2019. Marie Hvidstan, a Rural Leadership Specialist of Fargo, was the main speaker. She talked about “Change” and how hard it is to break habits. Jenifer Jones of Culbertson, Nebraska was installed as the new national president and Donna Bolz of Lincoln, Nebraska as Area Director. Some of the National chairmen for 2020 are Pam Potthoff of Nebraska-beef, Chris Anken of New York-dairy, Marlene Kouba of North Dakota--energy, Klodette Stroh of Wyoming--sugar, Mary Ann Unruh of North Dakota--specialty crops,
and Ruth Laribee of New York-trade. The group toured the Sons of Norway museum, tasted Ole and Sven hamburgers, saw hardanger embroidery, the Hjemkomst--a hand-built Viking ship and a Norwegian Stave church. One evening the members were introduced to German Fleishkuechle with sauerkraut, knoephla soup and blueberry kuchen. The Convention chairmen were outgoing president Diane McDonald of Inkster and secretary Deb Dressler of Richardton. WIFE is a grassroots organization committed to improving profitability in production agriculture and open to women of all ages and walks of life.

NDSU Extension Notes
gram will provide payments to eligible dairy operations for milk that was dumped or removed without compensation from the commercial milk market because of a qualifying 2018 and 2019 natural disaster. Producers who suffered losses of harvested commodities, including hay, stored in on-farm structures in 2018 and 2019 will receive assistance through the On-Farm Storage Loss Program. • Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) - This provides emergency relief for losses due to feed or water shortages, disease, adverse weather or other conditions that are not adequately addressed by other disaster programs. ELAP covers damaged or destroyed livestock feed that was purchased, or mechanically harvested forage or feedstuffs intended for use as feed for the producer’s eligible livestock. To be considered eligible, harvested forage must be baled; forage that is only cut, raked or windrowed is not eligible. Producers must submit a notice of loss to their local FSA office within 30 calendar days of when the loss is apparent. ELAP also covers up to 150 lost grazing days in instances when a producer has been
forced to remove livestock from a grazing pasture due to floodwaters. For beekeepers, ELAP covers beehive losses (the physical structure) in instances when the hive was destroyed by a natural disaster, including flooding, high winds and tornadoes. • Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) - This offers payments to eligible producers for livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality due to adverse weather. Eligible losses include those the FSA determined were caused by floods, blizzards, tornadoes, lightning, extreme heat and cold, or disease resulting from adverse weather. Producers are required to provide documentation of death losses resulting from an eligible adverse weather event and must submit a notice of loss to their local FSA office within 30 calendar days of when the loss of livestock is apparent. • On-Farm Storage Loss Program (OFSLP) - The OFSLP will provide payments to eligible producers who suffered uncompensated losses of harvested commodities, including grains, oilseeds and hay, stored in on-farm structures as a result of floods, tornadoes, snowstorms and wildfires that occurred in the 2018
and 2019 calendar years. To join the webinar, go to https://zoom.us/j/954766691. You will be asked to provide your email address and name.

Crop insurance options for producers facing delayed harvest USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) said producers with Federal crop insurance that are experiencing a delay in harvesting their crop and potentially have a loss should contact their Approved Insurance Provider (AIP) to file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest. The late maturing crop coupled with extremely wet and wintery conditions this fall have extended harvest for producers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Eric Bashore, Director of RMA’s Billings Regional Office, reminds producers who have Federal crop insurance coverage and are experiencing delays in harvesting their crop to contact their crop insurance agent to file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest. 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 produc-
tion. For producers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming, the end of the insurance period 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. • 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 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 on the RMA website.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, December 4, 2019, at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Edinburg for John M. Evenson, age 88, of Edinburg, who passed away on Wednesday, November 27, 2019, at Sanford Health in Fargo. Interment was at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery in Edinburg. John Markus Evenson was born July 19, 1931, near Edinburg, the son of the late John and Minnie (Hammerstad) Evenson. He graduated from Edinburg High School in 1949 and from Concordia College in 1953.

and he didn’t miss many games. He looked forward to the Sunday visits from his younger grandsons in the last few years. He and Eunice spent part of five winters in Arizona but decided they were missing too much at home and quit. He was very involved with Edinburg community events.

Devotions by community pastors

The Wolf Shall Be A Guest of the Lamb Wouldn’t it be great if everyone got along? What if people had no enemies? How about a time where no one holds any grudges or resentments? What if there were no more wars among nations, fights in neighborhoods or conflict among families? What about no more jealousies? No one getting even with another? Isaiah speaks of such a day! The Old Testament reading for this weekend from the Prophet Isaiah (verses 11.1-10) predicts that this will happen. He says that the lion and the lamb will lie together, the bear will eat hay with the ox. A day is coming where there will be no harm or ruin. Justice will prevail! How can this happen? Isaiah says “for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the Lord”. It not only takes knowledge and wisdom to accomplish all this, faith is needed. But there’s another step that follows - relationship with God is essential. When we follow God’s commandments, listen and act on the teachings of Christ, and follow His example, the prophecy will be fulfilled. It is up to us! We are to follow Christ to promote peace, justice, forgiveness and charity. It starts at home. It begins with each individual. One good act of kindness is a great way to plant a seed for another person to do an act of kindness. I remember how touched I
was when I found a t-shirt for the Region IV Girl’s Volleyball Tournament on my dining room table last year. There was no note. I don’t know who gave it to me. It was anonymous. It encouraged me to do some acts of kindness as a result. This year, I received 2 t-shirts! One for the football team and another one for the girl’s volleyball team. One act of kindness builds on top of another! A couple of weeks ago, I announced that our offertory collection on the Thanksgiving Day Mass would be sent to the poor and needy people of Chimbote, Peru. We have the privilege of extending an act of charity or kindness to people we don’t even know and that live over 4,000 miles away! This Advent Season is a time of preparation. As we prepare to celebrate Christmas by giving gifts to our family and friends, let us also prepare to extend acts and gifts of kindness to people we resent; to be charitable to people who don’t have a home or a place to live; and to people that live in houses with grass walls and dirt floors. In doing this, along with fostering forgiveness and following Christ’s example, we are one step closer to what Isaiah prophesied. A great day is coming. It will be a new day! The lion will lay with the sheep. The wolf will be a guest of the lamb. We shall experience the peace and joy of Christ in the Kingdom of God!

Community blood drive set to help avoid winter blood shortages It might look like a winter wonderland at times, but the winter weather is no wonderland for hospital patients who depend on blood to keep them healthy and alive. Langdon residents are gearing up for a community blood drive to help prevent possible blood shortages in the coming weeks. “In areas with harsh winter weather, cold weather and storms often keep people from donating blood,” says Rob Miller, donor recruitment manager of Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services. “With fewer people donating blood, some parts of the country run the risk of having critical blood shortages." To make sure there’s a dependable blood supply locally, United Communications has scheduled a community blood drive on Tuesday, December 17 from 11:15 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. To schedule an appointment,
call Mikan at 256-5156. The drive will be held at United Communications. “For those who are out and about and the winter weather hasn’t dampened their routine, we invite them to stop by the blood drive to donate blood,” Miller says. Vitalant provides a free cholesterol screening with each donation. Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 must have signed permission from a parent or guardian found at www. vitalant.org. To help speed up the process, donors can now complete their health history the day of their donation by visiting www.vitalant.org.
A 3D mammogram (breast tomosynthesis) is an imaging test that creates a three-dimensional picture of the breast. A 3D mammogram is used to look for breast cancer in people who have no signs or symptoms. It can also be used to investigate the cause of breast problems, such as a breast mass, pain and nipple discharge. When used for breast cancer screening, 3D mammogram machines create 3D images and standard 2D mammogram images. Studies show that combining 3D mammograms with standard mammograms reduces the need for additional imaging and slightly increases the number of cancers detected during screening. The 3D mammogram is becoming more common. Combining a 3D mammogram
with a standard mammogram can: • Reduce the need for follow-up imaging. • Detect slightly more cancers than a standard mammogram alone. • Improve breast cancer detection in dense breast tissue. Check with your insurance provider. Not all insurance companies cover 3D mammograms. Check with your insurance provider before your test so that you’ll know what types of costs to expect. Your insurance company may cover the standard mammogram portion of the test, while you’ll be responsible for the cost of the 3D mammogram portion. If you have any questions, please call Pat in Radiology at 256-6190.

VETERANS & EDUCATION BY VALERIE HEFFNER Q: I was attending college using my Post-9/11 GI Biff benefits. Unfortunately, during that time I decided to apply for student loans to help with my biffs. After doctor appointments and applying for disability, I was approved for 100 percent VA disability and compensation. I heard I may be able to have my student loans forgiven since I received my disability rating. If so, how do I apply? A: If you are totally and permanently disabled, you may qualify for loan forgiveness. You will need to complete a discharge application along with all required documentation. VA will provide a letter showing that you have a service-connected disability that is 100 percent disabling or are totally disabled based on an employment rating. Once you have completed the application and documentation, you can contact Nelnet, the total and permanent discharge (TPD) servicer, at disabilityinformation@ nelnet.net. Valerie Heffner is a Marine Corps veteran and member of American Legion Post 27 in Apache Junction, Ariz. I wish to extend best wishes for a happy and joyous holiday season to everyone, especially to the families of those who have a loved one serving in our nation’s armed forces. Their and your sacrifice is much appreciated by us all. Thank You!

Get vaccinated against the flu to protect your loved ones The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) is reminding all North Dakotans to get their flu vaccine before the holidays. “Everyone 6 months and older should be vaccinated, regardless of age or health status,” said Jenny Galbraith, immunization surveillance coordinator with the NDDoH. “Anyone can get the flu, including healthy individuals, and getting the flu vaccine is the easiest way to protect yourself, as well as your friends and family this season.” It is especially important for people who are at greater risk of complications from the flu to be vaccinated. These include young children, older adults, those with compromised immune systems or chronic health conditions, pregnant women, American Indians, or Alaskan Natives. It is also important for those who spend time around anyone who is high risk for complications from flu to be vaccinated, because healthy individuals can become infected and pass the flu
to their friends and family without showing any symptoms. “Besides getting vaccinated against the flu, wash your hands thoroughly and often. Washing your hands with soapy water is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs,” said Levi Schlosser, epidemiologist with the NDDoH. North Dakota is seeing early influenza activity, with 271 laboratory-identified cases reported to the NDDoH so far this season. Influenza can be unpredictable, and activity could increase at any time. People who have not had their influenza vaccine yet this season should get it as soon as possible, as it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to provide full protection. There is an adequate amount of flu vaccine available this season. To get vaccinated, people should contact their local public health unit, health care provider or pharmacist. For more information about influenza, visit www.ndflu.com.

Shooting right into the winter sports season We have all gotten through the Thanksgiving Weekend safe and sound, and suddenly comes the rush of the holiday season, and winter sports. It seems like we were just at the Fargodome for the State B Volleyball Tournament, but we are already getting going with everything for the winter. Basketball, hockey and wrestling have either already or is just about to start, so things are going to be very busy for the next three months. We look forward to bringing you coverage of everything. It's always better to be busy than be bored. Boys Basketball season starts this week With all of the other winter sports schedules already underway, the last shoe to drop is always boys basketball, and that is just about ready to kick off. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys team will begin their season on Dec. 14 at home versus Thompson, in what will be a girls/boys doubleheader in afternoon games. Of course the Tommies are the defending State Class B Champions, and their squad this year is ranked seventh in the state, so it will be a fun early test for the Cardinals. The Cards boys have seven seniors on the team this year, and they hope to improve and season last year that did not quite meet expectations. One thing that should help is that the Cardinals are fully healthy coming into the season, as last year they were not at full strength until after Christmas. Andy Haaven is coaching the boys team again this season, and he is assisted by Tim Polansky and Tanner Groth. The Cardinals have 17 kids out for the junior high team which is fantastic. That group will
be coached by Kelly Hochalter and and another coach that has yet to be hired. The Cardinals were ranked 24th in the Top 40 Preseason Power Poll put out by The Hoopster publication. Along with the Cardinals and Tommies, other area teams in the Top 40 are Four Winds-Minnewaukan ranked first, Rugby second, Hillsboro-Central Valley third, Dakota Prairie 13th, Hatton-Northwood 17th, St. John 21st, North Border 26th, Cavalier 27th, Dunseith 30th and New Rockford-Sheyenne 40th. With all of those talented teams in the vicinity, it should be a fun winter like the other sporting activities. North Border girls basketball suffers injuries The North Border girls basketball program has had some early unfortunate issues. Due to some players not coming out for team this year, there are just seven girls in grades 9-12 playing for the Eagles. In the first week of the season three of those girls suffered injuries, so that forced the North Border game at Langdon-Edmore-Munich to be downgraded to just JV and junior high games on Dec. 6. It was not clear at the time of this writing if the varsity game would be made up at a later date or if it outright cancelled. It's a tough situation, and the Eagles have games with Kittson County Central and Cavalier in the week ahead, so we hope that they get healthy soon so that they can get back to playing a varsity schedule as soon as possible. Winter Sports Preview in this weeks paper We will leave you this week by inviting you to check out the annual Winter Sports Preview in this weeks Republican. It's full of previews for basketball and hockey teams, plus schedules for everything as well. We thank our sponsors for helping make this all possible again this year, and thanks to all coaches who helped contribute to each article. "See ya!" next week!

Social Media scams
Social media platforms are a major source of fraud for digital criminals. Fraudsters use social media to connect and steal from consumers! According to the Federal Trade Commission, over 8,000 people have reported losing more than $10,000 to scam artists in the first half of 2019. Some examples of scams involving social media: • Facebook - Friending an account from a fraudster allows the scammer to access your profile and make a cloned or duplicate account. - Scammers can also clone an account from someone you are already friends with and send you another friend request, again allowing them to access your personal information. - How to avoid being a victim: Do not accept friend requests from people you do not know personally. Don’t accept second friend requests. • Instagram - Fraudsters can see who you follow on this photo and video platform and often use personalized direct messages based on your interests to draw you in to special bargains or charitable contributions based on your likes. - How to avoid being a victim: Keep your profile settings secure and don’t respond to any unsolicited messages. • Google Hangouts - This platform is a place to chat with friends, share pictures and even make phone calls. The latest scam is an employment scam. You may have been talking to someone
on social media about looking for a job and then receive an email offering you a job and your first paycheck in advance. The only stipulation is you must send a portion of it back for an” application fee.” - How to avoid being a victim: You are never asked to send money to get a job. And no employer is every going to pay you before the job starts. Remember to be alert for Medicare scams during the Open Enrollment Period October 15 to December 7. • ND SMP will help seniors prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud. Report suspected instances of Medicare Fraud to ND SMP. • For non-Medicare fraud issues, contact the ND Attorney General’s Office at 1-800-472-2600.

November 19, 2019 On November 19, 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 attended a portion of the meeting by telephone. All other members were present. 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. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. Stanley Dick, on behalf of the Cavalier County Commission, wanted to congratulate the Langdon-Munich-Edmore football team on their undefeated season and state championship win. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, to appoint Greg Goodman to the Census Committee Board, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by Greg Goodman, to approve signing the Building Contractor’s Agreement for work to be completed in the Weed building, motion carried. David Zeis joined the meeting by telephone. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners. There was discussion on the bridge scour analysis they have been working on, possible road safety projects and future DOT projects. After much discussion on various options for the road foreman position, no decision was made on how to proceed. There was discussion on the possibility of GPS units in the motor graders and trucks. David Zeis stated it was not cost effective when it was last looked into, and stated he needed to leave the meeting until later. The commissioners decided to see if the new machines had free GPS trials with them. Greg Goodman stated he would also look into some options. The commissioners reviewed the townships that are currently using contractors for blading and/ or snow removal. Stanley Dick
suggested moving the Osnabrock snowplow truck to Langdon District. Terry Johnston also stated he felt it is important to have a snowplow truck in Langdon in case of an emergency. No decision was made, but later in the meeting it was decided to utilize the Osnabrock truck for the townships in the Langdon District south of Highway 5. At 10:00 a.m. Nick Moser stated that the County Delinquent Tax Sale was open and asked if anyone in attendance was interested in any of the parcels on the tax sale. With no response, he stated the sale would remain open. Terry Johnston informed the commissioners that Don Jonasson had stopped and stated that a culvert end in County 45 by CHS in Milton was covered and asked if it was okay if he were to put an extension on the culvert at his own expense. The commissioners were in agreement. At 10:30 a.m. Nick Moser again asked if there was anyone in attendance wanting to purchase anything from the County Delinquent Tax Sale. With no response, the tax sale was closed. The roadmen were in attendance for their semi-annual meeting with the commissioners. David Zeis joined the meeting again by phone. Numerous agenda items were reviewed/discussed with the roadmen. Anita Beauchamp, Clerk of Court, met with the commissioners and asked for approval to use some of the remaining capital outlay in her budget to clean carpets in her office. The commissioners were in agreement. Beauchamp also stated she was having trouble getting bids for the Court Facilities Grant. Austin Lafrenz stated he would help her try to get bids. Crystal Beggs, HR, met with the commissioners and made a suggestion to change the work week in the policy manual to reflect it running from Saturday to Friday. Stanley Dick made a motion to change the work week from Saturday to Friday, effective January 1, 2020, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. New timekeeping formats for the courthouse and Social Service employees, as well as a separate timekeeping format for
the roadmen were reviewed. Beggs stated it is important to get most employees using the same format for timekeeping. Beggs also stated that she would have the Auditor’s Office scan the roadmen calendars/ timekeeping sheets to her monthly until they all seem to understand the new format, and that she would be training the rest of the employees on their approved format on December 5th. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the new timekeeping format for the courthouse and Social Service employees, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion, seconded by Greg Goodman, to review and approve the following audit of claims, motion carried: WEST PAYMENT CENTER, STATE'S ATTORNEY ______ 240.60 STANLEY DICK, COMMISSIONERS _____________________ 113.68 ND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASSOCIATION, COMMISSIONERS ____________________1,650.00 ND COUNTY RECORDERS ASSOCIATION, RECORDER ____ 200.00 MARK SCHNEIDER, TAX DIRECTOR _____________________ 75.00 LISA JACOBSON, TAX DIRECTOR __________________________ 75.00 CHAD HENDERSON, TAX DIRECTOR _________________ 75.00 BUSINESS ESSENTIALS, TAX DIRECTOR ________________ 367.63 THE CAR CLINIC, GENERAL ___ __________________________ 61.60 QUALITY SPECIALTY PRODUCTS & PRINTING, GENERAL _ 6,926.19 DOCU SHRED INC., GENERAL __ __________________________ 38.50 BUSINESS ESSENTIALS, ROAD & BRIDGE __________________ 57.95 COUNTRY MEDIA, INC., COMMISSIONERS ____________ 241.90 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPT., GENERAL _______4,398.51 PREMIUM WATERS, INC., CLERK/GENERAL _______ 166.87 UNITED COMMUNICATIONS, GENERAL ______________1,415.59 OTTER TAIL POWER CO, GENERAL/R&B ________2,555.22 COMPUTER EXPRESS, ST ATTY/ RECORD/GENERAL ____ 1,411.98 BOB BARKER COMPANY, INC., SHERIFF _________________ 77.92

Prairie Fare: Gift ideas that are easy on the budget and positive for your health
“I’ve bought and wrapped gifts for myself,” one of the meeting attendees said. Most people in the room nodded, especially parents. I was among the people nodding my head. Yes, I’ve wrapped a lot of holiday gifts for myself. I tend to go a little overboard in the gift-giving department for my family. As we take turns opening gifts, I quickly run out of gifts to open. Even our dogs give me gifts. My family has labeled me “hard to buy gifts for.” Who, me? Yes, I have a lot of stuff already. Maybe they think I have enough stuff. I beg to differ. In this season of gift-giving, you can opt for gifts that do not take a lot of space or cost a lot of money. By the way, I have a gift for many of you. Be sure to read to the end of this column. You might win a gift from us at NDSU Extension - Food and Nutrition. I promise: It doesn’t take a lot of space.
Here are some ideas for useful items that promote health and/or safety. • Food thermometers are internal temperature measuring devices that are easy to use and don’t take up a lot of drawer space. Food safety experts encourage the everyday use of thermometers because color is not an accurate indicator of doneness. A food thermometer also helps you avoid overcooking meat and can improve the quality of your meals. • Pedometers are step-counting devices. They can be powerful motivators as people set goals to increase their physical activity. According to a recent Stanford University study, participants who set a goal walked 2,000 steps (one mile) more than before they set a goal. • A storm survival kit can save your life. Winter weather can be unpredictable and result in emergency situations. See the information at https://www.weather.gov/oun/ safety-winter-safetykit for more information about assembling a survival kit. Most of us enjoy tasty food, so are here are some food-related make-ityourself gift kit ideas. The handouts include ready-to-go gift tags with the recipe. • “Mix It Up” is available at
https://tinyurl.com/NDSUMixItUp. Along with Friendship Soup, the site features mixes for Homemade Cornbread, Cranberry-Oatmeal Cookies and Country Chili. • Warm up after an afternoon of sledding with a warm beverage such as Spiced Tea Mix or Double Chocolate Peppermint Candy Hot Cocoa. Find “Beverage Mixes in a Jar” at https://tinyurl.com/ NDSUBeverageMix. • Quick breads make tasty brunch items for holiday mornings. How about some Cherry-Chocolate Scones or Peanut Butter Bread? See the do-it-yourself mix directions at https://tinyurl.com/NDSUQuickBreadMix for details. Finally, here’s your free gift opportunity. Send me an email with your name and address to julie. garden-robinson@ndsu.edu before Dec. 20, 2019, at noon Central time, and I will enter your name in a drawing for a copy of our full-color, recipe-filled 2020 “Field to Fork” calendar. I will give away at least 20 copies, so don’t think you won’t have a chance to win. See https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/fieldtofork to look at an example before you enter. Do you want to stir up your family’s taste buds this holiday season with a home-canned gift? Canning

isn’t only for the summer and fall seasons. How about a jar of cranberry salsa for the person who has everything? Cranberries are readily available during the holiday season. Cranberries are rich in natural antioxidants, which have potential health benefits. This recipe is from the University of Georgia’s Athens National Center for Home Food Preservation. It was released by Elizabeth Andress, Ph.D. It goes great as a side dish with chicken or pork. Try topping a block of cream cheese with it, and serve it with crackers. Your gift recipients probably will bring their empty jar back and ask for a refill next year. Spicy Cranberry Salsa 6 c. chopped red onion 4 large serrano peppers, finely chopped 1 1/2 c. water 1 1/2 c. cider vinegar (5% acidity) 1 Tbsp. canning salt 1 1/3 c. sugar 3/4 c. bottled lemon juice 6 Tbsp. clover honey 12 c. (2 3/4 pounds) fresh whole cranberries, rinsed Caution: Wear plastic or rubber gloves when handling and cutting
hot peppers or wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face or eyes. 1) Wash and rinse six 1-pint canning jars; keep hot until ready to use. Prepare lids according to manufacturer’s directions. 2) Combine all ingredients except cranberries in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat slightly and boil gently for five minutes. 3) Add cranberries, reduce heat slightly and simmer mixture for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. 4) Fill the hot mixture into clean, hot pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Leave saucepot over low heat while filing jars. Remove air bubbles and adjust head space if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; apply two-piece metal canning lids. 5) Process in a boiling-water canner according to the following recommendations: 10 minutes at 0 to 1,000 feet altitude; 15 minutes at 1,001 to 6,000 feet altitude; or 20 minutes at above 6,000 feet altitude. 6) Let cool, undisturbed, 12 to 24 hours and check for seals. 7) Remove ring band and store upright. For best quality, consume within one year. This recipe makes six pint jars.

Albert Hague composed the distinctive music which was sung by Thurl Ravenscroft. The song, of course, is “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”, and it is the only mean Christmas song that deserves a spot on this listing of favorite seasonal music. For more than 50 years children and adults, alike, have been shivering over Mr. Grinch, his overworked but faithful dog Max, and all the children of Whoville. "Sleigh Ride." A Christmas music lover mentioned I had forgotten her favorite which is played each
year by the Langdon Area Concert Band or sometimes sung by the high school choir so if you have not heard it in their recent concert there will be opportunities to hear it again this season through other media. LeRoy Anderson wrote the distinctive music on a hot summer day in 1948 while thinking about the pleasures of winter. One version says he was inspired by a Currier and Ives print of a sleigh ride. The Anderson family had a summer home in Connecticut so memories of winter there may have added to the inspiration.
The lyrics were by Mitchell Parish, and it was first performed by the Boston Pops May 5, 1948, with now legendary Arthur Fiedler conducting. Hollow wooden blocks are used to make the sound of the horses’ hooves and a slapstick is used to make the sound of the whip used to drive the horses. The Boston Pops recorded the song in 1949. Anderson himself had a recording version in 1950 along with the Andrews Sisters, and one site mentioned 94 major recordings of the song down through the years. It is one to enjoy.

Christmas Music, part 2 This is the second part of stories about favorite songs we sing during the holiday season with the focus this week primarily on secular or seasonal songs that might not be sung at church services but bring the sounds of Christmas to us year after year. Some are now called novelty songs which might mean they were written for children, but most of the ones chosen appeal to all ages. Some of the sheet music was purchased at DeVold’s Dime Store in the early days they had a store in Langdon. The music now is in bits and pieces, but several of the colorful covers of the music were later used as background for television and movies based on the original songs. “Jingle Bells” is one of the oldest secular Christmas songs and comes with many versions and legends. The lyrics familiar to Americans and English are said to have been written by James Lord Pierpont, formerly a New Englander, for a Thanksgiving celebration at his brother’s church. The Pierponts by that time were living in Savannah, Georgia. Since the lyrics were questionable for church use, other versions of the story claim Pierpont had written the song at a New England saloon (more than one saloon now has plaques identifying them as the birthplace of the song) with the original title “In a One-Horse Open Sleigh”. Dates of composition vary from 1850 to 1857. While Pierpont is given credit for the lyrics, the tune might have been adapted from elsewhere as a cheery accompaniment for his words. A similar French tune pre-dates Pierpont’s lifespan, and another version is claimed as a German folk song. Denver Hispanic residents called the song “Casca Bellas”, and when Spanish was added to the school curriculum for all ages in the 1960s, the children were taught that lively tune with the Pierpont words translated into one or more of the three Spanish dialects commonly used in Colorado at the time. “White Christmas” were words and music by Irving Berlin, a popular Jewish songwriter from New York who wrote many hit melodies even though his own family traditions did not include Christmas celebrations. Berlin was in Los Angeles when the song was written (again some discrepancies as to the exact date) writing songs for musical revues. The original lyrics begin with “the sun is shining, the grass is green, the orange and palm trees sway, there’s never been such a day in Beverly Hills, LA. But it’s December the twenty-fourth and I am longing to be up North……” Most musicians singing the tune today omit those original words and begin with the chorus. Bing Crosby sang this song on a radio show in December 1941, and it was featured in the Christmas section of a movie called “Holiday Inn” in 1942 along with other Berlin contributions. The movie starred Crosby and other notable singers and dancers. The black and white movie (possibly still available on late night TV) was not a financial success, but Crosby’s recording in 1942 went right to the top. For many years it was the top selling recording of all time with more than fifty million copies sold. Crosby entertained troops during World War II but disliked singing the song overseas because of the effect it had on the military audiences. It was the song most requested by the troops with thousands of homesick servicemen and women in the audience responding to the song with tears. In that era Crosby realized many of the military audiences would later be listed in the casualty figures of European battles. The song is still a favorite of military audiences today. “All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth” originated in a second grade classroom in New York state when their music teacher, Donald Gardner, asked his students what they wanted for Christmas and noticed how many had missing teeth. He went home and wrote the song in 30 minutes and later sang it for a conference of music teachers. The teachers thought he should publish his song which he did in 1948, roughly a year after Spike Jones had made a recording of the novelty tune. Perry Como introduced the song on his show in 1948 along with his hit recording of the tune which has since been recorded by many others from Ray Stevens to the Three Stooges, the Chipmunks and even by a member of the Sesame Street cast. “I Saw Mommie Kissing Santa Claus” was written by a British song-writer, Tommie Connors, in
1952. The first recording featured the voice of 13-year-old Jimmy Boyd whose record was released in July of that year. When the song went to the top of the charts, the Boston Catholic Church condemned it for “mixing kissing with Christmas”. However, Sachs Fifth Avenue liked the song and used it for their Christmas card publicity. The sheet music shows little Johnny (the boy in the song) in his pajamas, holding his Teddy Bear and peering around the corner at a rotund Santa in red with white hair and beard and a petite “Mommie” dressed in June Cleaver style (black party dress, jewelry, black pumps and not a hair out of place) standing on tip-toe to leave a kiss on the cheek of a surprised Santa. The song tells us that Johnny just had to tell this secret to someone and had only his teddy to talk to. Recordings have been made by many with the Jackson 5 leading the hit-makers. Others have been Andy Williams, Homer and Jethro, Reba McEntire, Mitch Miller and even Tiny Tim. “Winter Wonderland.” The lyrics came first written by Richard B. Smith while he was a patient in a Scranton, Pennsylvania, sanitarium recovering from tuberculosis. Smith is remembered as writing the poem inspired by the snow in a park nearby. The date is not given for the poem or the beautiful and very fitting music composed by Felix Bernard, and neither of the men were listed in the copyright. The first recording was at the Ritz-Carlton in 1934 along with RCA who suggested a different orchestra for a second recording. The second version had Artie Shaw as a member of the group. Over the years anyone and everyone has recorded this music: Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Guy Lombardo, Alan Jackson and probably a few most of us have never heard of. The lyrics have been translated around the world, but a note tells us the song is most popular in “northern countries”. The introduction on the next sheet music says “The snowman in the yard is frozen hard, He’s a sorry sight to see, If he had a brain he’d complain. Bet he wishes he were me……” The song “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!” by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne was a hit in 1945 and is still beloved by winter sports enthusiasts around the world. The earliest hit recording was Vaughn Monroe in 1945, but Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and many others have entertained us with this song down through the years. Thinking of snowmen in the yard is a good reminder of another classical favorite, “Frosty the Snowman.” The original song was written by Walter (Jack) Rollins and Steve Nelson in 1950 who were inspired to write their own song when they saw the success Gene Autry had with his earlier recordings of songs that appealed to children. Actually Gene Autry did one of the first recordings of “Frosty” followed by Jimmy Durante when the song and story became a Christmas movie. The cover of the sheet music I remember was light blue with Frosty smiling, and there is a memory that Burl Ives had a favorite recording of both this song and Rudolph. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” burst on the musical scene in 1949, and his red nose is still lighting Santa’s sleigh and delighting children of all ages everywhere. My sheet music from 1950 says published by St. Nicholas Music Inc. of New York with Johnny Marks as composer and lyricist. But that is not the beginning of the story. Robert Lewis May was assigned by Montgomery Ward to produce a coloring book for children in 1939. The book he produced was about a reindeer named Rudolph. They sold 2.4 million copies of the coloring book that year and published similar books in the years to follow. But there were complaints about the red nose – often associated with clowns and drunkards, and the first Rudolph was not “cute” so graphic artist Denver Gillen used deer in parks and zoos as models for a “cuter Rudolph” but kept the red nose. The best Rudolph appeared on the cover of the 1947 book which might have been a story book. That same distinctive Rudolph made his debut in cartoon form in 1948, on sheet music along with his song in 1949, and from there the rest is history. Rudolph has been a standard on television year after year. The movie appeared in 1998, and internet tells us Rudolph has a family – he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Donner. No sheet music appeared in my collection for a song almost everyone recognizes after the first two or three notes of its Grinchy music. Dr. Suess wrote the lyrics for the original book which became a song when a cartoon special of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” was adapted for television in 1966.

Munich FFA Chapter attends ND State FFA Parliamentary Procedure Contest The Munich FFA Chapter participated in the ND State FFA Parliamentary Procedure Contest for the very first time in the chapter's history. The team earned a bronze award in the competition and did not advance to the final four. All teams who participated in the contest were either district champions or district runner-up. The Munich Chapter was the District 4 Champions and represented the district in the competition. Each team is required to conduct a mock FFA Chapter meeting where they must complete two items of business following “Robert’s Rules of Order”. The team must perform 12 parliamentary procedure skills randomly assigned to them. The
students must also debate the two topics twice each. The members are scored on correctness of doing the parliamentary skills and the quality of the debate. The members must give an introduction to their debate (stating which side of the motion they are on) followed by the reasons why they think the motion is a good or bad idea, and concluded by trying to convince the other members to vote their way. After completion, the demonstration teams are required to answer oral questions given by the judges. The final phase of the contest is for the team members to take a written test on their knowledge of parliamentary procedure.

Did you know that nearly onethird of annual charity giving occurs in December? It is the time of year that charities count on. Scammers also count on success this time of year. They use the same techniques as trusted charities to reach you – in person, by mail, over the phone, online, by text, or by email. The name of a fake charity may closely resemble the name of a real charity. The fake charity might ask you to wire money or give cash. This should be a red flag. Scammers will put pressure on you to act quickly, before you have a chance to think through your decision or do any research. That’s another red flag. You may also receive a thankyou for a donation you don’t recall making. Making you think you’ve already given to the cause is a common trick unscrupulous fundraisers use to lower your resistance. Research charities before making a donation. It’s easy to do – check out charities at www.give.org or www.charitynavigator.org before
giving any money. The Federal Trade Commission suggests making an annual donation plan to list out the causes you will support and which reputable charities will receive your money. If you are approached in person, ask for identification and details about the charity, including its full name and address, and how they will use the funds. If the person can’t furnish this information, close your door or walk away. If you have any doubt at all, tell them you will follow up on the organization’s website or by phone. If you think you have fallen victim to a scam, call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 877908-3360 for guidance and support. AARP North Dakota has volunteers trained to give small group presentations to help protect North Dakotans from fraud and scams. If an organization or service club in your community would like to host a scam presentation, contact us by phone at 866-554-5383 or by email at aarpnd@aarp.org.
