Parenting in a Pandemic: The science of motivation By Linda Timian Republican Writer
Turn your clocks ahead one hour on Sunday, March 14!
Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889
North Dakota State University Parenting Education Network hosted the second webinar in their five-part series Parenting in a Pandemic. The webinars are led by Erin Walsh, co-founder of the Spark & Stitch Institute based out of Minneapolis, Minn. The events are streamed via Zoom, and this one focused on the ccience of motivation. It is normal to have a lot of motivation when something challenging first happens. We may have met the challenges of the pandemic head on last spring, but now that we are a year into the pandemic - many of us would rather stay in our pajamas. What is the dominating vibe in your home right now? Are you running forward, or are you in your pajamas? You are not alone if your motivation is waning. When our kids have low motivation, there are a few easy tools we tend to reach for which may not be the most productive or empathetic. The first is ordering. We demand, command, or order them to get going, get motivated. We try to “will” them to get moving. Second, we may try lecturing. We share with them all the reasons why they should be motivated. We may pat ourselves on the back thinking this is really helpful motiva-
tion. Third, we resort to straight bribery. Do this, and I’ll get you that. All three of these strategies are easy to grab at and very tempting but likely don’t work very well because of the way that motivation circuits work. Motivation relies on emotional safety and a willingness to want to move towards the world. We can look to the science of motivation to figure out how to best help our kids engage and be more motivated.
ally sets the seeking brain up for success is a safe routine (I’ve been here before, and I like it) or novelty (I wonder what’s going to happen, and I want to find out). The more positive experiences our kids have had in the world, the more they want to move toward (approach) those experiences. Avoidance motivation is also common, but we don’t think of it as motivation. When faced with stress, uncertainty, or a feeling of being unsafe, there is
Motivation networks develop over time, a lot of it in the first 5-6 years of life, through interactions with the world and with others. The two main ones are approach motivation and avoidance motivation. The one used most often is the approach motivation system where you want to engage the world, and it is driven by two different experience-reward circuits. One circuit is the “liking circuit.” We do something enjoyable, and we get a little bit of dopamine. This is powerful, but more powerful is the “wanting circuit,” also called seeking brain, which remembers that experience and then motivates us to want to seek it out again. What re-
a strong motivation to deal with it by retreating from, avoiding, running away from, or ignoring the world. When we want to stay in our pajamas, that’s avoidance motivation. Stress is a mixed bag. Too little stress is boring and erases all the novelty. Too much stress is hard and cues avoidance motivation. In the COVID environment, we have more stress, less routine, and fewer - or a loss of - dopamine-generating activities. We need to build empathy for our kids and see just how challenging it can be for them. Understanding the science of motivation, what are the tools in our toolkit? Our tools are 1) recharge the
brain, 2) structure and rewards, and 3) choices and shared power. Recharging the Brain - We want to “prime the brain” for healthy doses of dopamine rewards by providing ways for our kids to recharge and fill their buckets where we can. Some examples of the ways kids – and all people – recharge are: physical (sleep, exercise, nutrition), purpose and helping (in the family, school, and community), connection (to family, friends, and school) and happy distractions (having fun, joy, and playing). Watch your kids in the ways they fill their buckets, and don’t take these away as punishments. Probably the most important when it comes to motivation is connection. Kids may connect with you, friends, teachers, coaches, etc. Find your empathy and tell them, “This is hard, isn’t it?” or “We will figure this out together.” When kids feel that they’re part of a team, that their parents are on their side, they will be better able to handle their stress response. When kids’ motivation is waning, it is easy to under-parent by backing too far off, over-parent by taking over, or swing back and forth between the two. It may be helpful to figure out your own default mode (over or under parenting) when you are cont. on page 2
COVID-19 one year later; cultural impact CHS delivers propane, new Traveling Safely • Are hospitals in your com- states, you should also familiarWith coronavirus cases trending downward, health officials are still urging Americans to stay home and limit their interactions with others. Unfortunately, life circumstances sometimes make traveling a necessity for business or personal reasons. If you must travel, it’s critical to be respectful of the local COVID-19 precautions and practice safety measures to limit the spread. Here are some factors to consider before traveling, as suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Preve nt io n (CDC): • Are you, someone in your household, or someone you will be visiting at an increased risk of getting sick from a COVID-19 infection? • Does your home or destination have requirements or restrictions for travelers? • During the 14 days before your visit, have you or those you are seeing had close contact with people outside of the household?
munity or destination overwhelmed with patients who have contracted the virus? Open a communication line with your intended visitors to ensure they are remaining safe and commit to practicing safety protocols yourself before traveling. Do You Have to Travel? When staying home isn’t an
option, the CDC recommends that travelers get fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and wait at least two weeks before leaving for a trip. If you can’t receive the vaccination before your intended departure date, make sure to get tested for the virus at least one to three days ahead. Since restrictions vary between

ize yourself with the requirements of your destination. Be prepared to pack extra masks, hand sanitizers and documents proving your negative test results or full vaccination reports. Types of Travel You can open yourself up to numerous safety risks depending on how you choose to travel. For instance, taking a road trip in a personal vehicle can limit the exposure you have to others. Still, you should carefully handle situations like stopping for gas or taking bathroom breaks. W h e n traveling on public transportation like an airplane or bus, prepare to stand in long lines while practicing social distance requirements of standing at least 6 feet apart. Keep in mind that while distancing yourself from others is practical during short periods, extended flights may cont. on page 2

Cavalier County Commissioners meet with lots to discuss By Linda Timian Republican Writer Cavalier County Commissioners met on Tuesday morning, March 2, 2021. During open discussion, Commissioner Greg Goodman discussed the Northern Plains Resources and Development meeting he attended. It was funded in the past by the USDA, but a recent farm bill eliminated that funding, and they lost their director. Paul Overby is filling in, doing a lot of work for minimal pay. The primary focus of the group is to develop local grown food, farmers markets, cover crop education, etc. Cavalier County pays $300 per year, but many counties have dropped out. Goodman plans to go to the next meeting in June and ask what benefits Cavalier County gets out of belonging to the group and if they should still be doing this. Commissioner Stanley Dick reported that Tim Greene, originally from Langdon, is the new housing authority director, which is a welcome addition. He officially starts March 8. Road Supervisor Terry Johnston brought the status update on the bid for County 13. Final plans need to be submitted to the state DOT by April 9th. Commissioner Dave Zeis moved to go forward with submitting plans to the state, seconded by Dick, motion carried. Motor grader training is coming up this summer, and the company that does the training is very flexible. You can do classroom training at the courthouse, on the road demonstrations, or a combination of both. Cost is around $500 for the county, and there is room for 10. Cavalier County has seven, so there would be room for 3 more from other counties. It was decided to move forward and ask the operators as to what dates will work best. Johnston brought up the repairing of three culverts south of Milton. He has checked the culverts, and they are totally rusted out at 30 years old. If Legacy funds don’t apply, federal aid bridge funds will help cover the cost as long as the project stays within the major structure parameters. The two options were to move forward on the environmental/historical study so that federal funds could be used if it was decided to go that way or do the repairs without federal funds and use county dollars, but that would remove the culvert from the major structures list at the state. The project would consist of three 6 by 5 arch pipes 120 feet long. Johnston estimated it would cost well over $100,000 for steel and over $500,000 for concrete box, costing the county $20,000 to $80,000 for their share. Dick motioned to move forward with the environmental and his-
torical study, Commissioner Nick Moser seconded, motion carried. The Cavalier County Water Board had requested that the commissioners approve covering their share of a culvert repair on County 13. Fish and Wildlife had finally cleaned out some drains and met with the Water Board. They recommend one 48 inch arch pipe as it allows more water through. The Water Board is responsible for 60 percent of the cost. Moser made a motion to approve their 40 percent share contingent on the Water Board covering their share, seconded by Goodman, motion carried. Bids for fleet pickups were opened. There were 3 bids from Christie Motors and 3 bids from D & B Motors. They looked at a typical pickup on the state surplus website and found a 2012 with 99,000 miles for $17,000 and decided it made more sense to buy new with full warranty. Dick made a motion to buy one pickup from Christie and one from D & B, both regular cab with long boxes, seconded by Zeis, motion carried. Running boards, mud flaps, and bed mats will be added. District gravel budgets were also reviewed. Emergency Manager Karen Kempert reported that Commission Chair Austin LaFrenz, Zeis, and Kempert met with Towner County about the E-911 contract. Towner County had agreed to the additional $22,500 at their last meeting and to revisit the issue in June for the coming year. State’s Attorney Scott Stewart reviewed the agreement and felt it was ok. Kempert stated that everyone has been very happy with the agreement. Motion made by Dick to approve the agreement, seconded by Goodman, motion carried. Kaitlin Atkinson, Vision Zero coordinator for the Northeast Region, joined the meeting via computer. Vision Zero’s goal is to reduce fatalities and serious injury from motor vehicle crashes
to zero. They stress education in businesses, schools, emergency services, and many others making sure people drive according to weather conditions, drive sober, wear seatbelts, avoid distractions, etc. County Auditor Lisa Gellner requested information that would be helpful for the annual bus driver training. Dick asked if they did any training with ATVs and four wheelers. Atkinson said she would bring those items back to her team and get back to them. Stewart submitted a written opinion on building purchase options. The county can purchase real property and the county commissioners may provide for the purchase of necessary buildings if the expenditures are not greater than can be paid out of the revenue of the county for the current year. The commissioners discussed the possible purchase of the Bud’s Welding property for the storage of county road equipment. At this point in time there is no known interest in the community to buy the property as a welding business. Improvements would need to be made due to the condition of the building and the needs of the county. The commissioners discussed how the purchase would fit into long term plans to consolidate the fleet and operate more efficiently. There are unknown financial matters concerning federal and state funding that will be more clear in the next two months or so. It was also agreed to garner input and feedback from the community regarding plans to consolidate the fleet and purchase property or build new. In other business, the Langdon Country Club's beer and liquor license was renewed, and Leroy Gasner was appointed to the Cavalier County Library Board. The meeting concluded with review and approval of vouchers. The next meeting is March 16, 2021, at 8:30 am.

Brush with the Bunch
In the year 2000 the Walhalla Chamber of Commerce had a float built, on a large Snowmobile trailer, by Ted Dunnigan with plans to enter it in local and area parades to represent Walhalla. It was constructed with a large, flat upper section sloping toward the front. Ted also built a replica of the Kittson Trading post and the old GTA elevator that sit atop the float. The float was presently being stored at the Tom Hardy Shop by the old GTA Elevator. The brush Bunch was then “hired“ to do the painting, first the undercoat and then to be covered with murals of Walhalla, the surrounding hills and wildlife. Shown painting the on background are; June Slama, Laurel Brusseau and Leona Schneider. Laurel is shown putting some finishing touches on the sky, June is painting some trees and Leona touching up some rocks. The float which boasts Walhalla as the “Walhalla Wonderland“ painted on both sides and shows the sponsor as the Walhalla Chamber of Commerce is covered with all sorts of wildlife; Deer, Moose, which were very common at the time, Elk, Turkey, hikers, skiers, snowmobiles, painted by Leona, and more. Other Brush Bunch members painting are; Amy Phillips, Honey Eppler, Ethyl Johnstone, Leo Beauchamp, Frances Carrier and Adeline Belanus. Also helping with the planning and painting were Violet Unruh and Kathy Stremick, the Walhalla Activity Director, at the time. The float is presently being stored at the Walhalla Co-op Oil Company. Watch for this float at our next 4th of July Parade. Several final plans for our 50th Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale were made; door prizes were donated by Leo and Leona. Scavenger hunt prizes are being donated by Andy and Mary Ellen. The final vote was made on the cover of the booklets, to be made by Sylvia, which will also be used on the ads by Liann. Several other decisions were made that I will cover next time. In the meantime mark your calendar for the first weekend in May with plans for heading to Walhalla while remembering our theme “Celebrating 50 Years of Joy Through Art & Fellowship“. See you there on Saturday or Sunday. My quip for the week from Julie Dunnigan; Twelve tips for seniors: #9-Lately, you‘ve noticed people your age are so much older than you.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
The disenchanted highway… Back when the oil boom was building in the northwest, there was a lot of traffic on N.D. Highway 23 between Watford City and Makoti. It started in 2009 and got worse before it became dangerous. More specifically, N.D. 23 between New Town and Makoti was awful. It’s about a 30-mile stretch, and there were days in which there was bumper-tobumper traffic from New Town all the way to Parshall, about 16 miles, before it started fanning out. By 2010, the highway had become increasingly dangerous, and fatalities were happening. At one point, three Three-Affiliated tribal members were killed in a fiery accident west of New Town that triggered the tribe to seek professional assistance. Nothing happened because oil goes round the clock and part of the problem was the truckers were getting paid per load, not per hour, so they tried squeezing in as many loads as they could in a day. That, in and of itself, created a lot of risky situations on this disenchanted highway. I’ve lived in North Dakota my entire life, except for a year at a South Dakota newspaper and a year away in the military. I had never seen anything quite like it, not like Doha, Qatar, not like Denver, not like Winnipeg, not even like the California freeway that takes you into Los Angeles. Having to drive N.D. 23 to get home on weekends; there is no doubt it was a risk and things got really creepy at times. Here are some examples of what I witnessed the three years I worked in New Town from August 2008 to June 2011: • That bumper-to-bumper traffic mentioned earlier was going along toward Parshall one afternoon at 70 miles per hour when all of a sudden, somebody a fourth of a mile ahead, decided to do a 180 right there on the highway at the crest of a hill no doubt, and head back to New Town. It caused a chain reaction that stopped traffic for almost two hours. • I was on my way to work one Monday morning driving toward New Town. I came over a hill, and there was an oil tanker jackknifed across the road so traffic couldn’t go either direction. That took about an hour to clear the lanes and get traffic
moving again. • One day I responded to a fire on the Mountrail/McKenzie County line west of New Town. As I’m headed to the fire, there’s a car engulfed in flames with the asphalt around it burning. That time it was two people who died, either in the accident or the fire. • I was following the same routine on another Monday morning heading to work and all of a sudden, I see a car engine in the middle of the road with nobody else around since it was early in the morning. Strangest thing you’d ever want to see - a motor just sitting there on N.D. 23. It was weird! • As motorists were coming over a hill near Van Hook, they saw the tribal wildlife superintendent directing traffic on to a gravel road detour. My thinking was this must have some magnitude if they have to bring out the tribal wildlife guy to direct traffic. We found out after a three-mile detour got us back on N.D. 23. Just as I got to the intersection, I saw a helicopter from Trinity Health in Minot land right on the highway, and there were bodies all over the ditch with two vehicles in either ditch. Former House Minority Leader Kenton Onstad, who is from Parshall, saw the same thing, and we talked about it later. We found out that two people were killed on impact, and three others were badly injured and airlifted to Minot. • There were numerous other accidents as well as debris and oil slicks on the highway, too numerous to mention. However, in the three years I worked in New Town, 11 people were killed on that 30-mile stretch from New Town to Makoti including four teenagers who were T-boned and killed at the Van Hook corner east of New Town where N.D. 23 meets N.D. Highway 8. The traffic is much better now, and although it gets pretty congested between Watford City and New Town, it doesn’t come close to what it was in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The traffic problems got so bad the highway patrol stopped taking calls from concerned motorists. Oil traffic, farm traffic, first responder traffic, regular motorists - it was a mess, and most of these problems were during daylight hours. Thank goodness it’s all tapered off to a reasonable level of traffic flow where people don’t have to fear the worst. After the three people died in the car that caught fire, tribal Chairman Marcus Wells said, “This has to be stopped right now.”

May government curtail free speech? Does the government have authority to curtail speech that might cause injury to our national security? Such power, asserted throughout the history of our nation, raises thorny questions about the nature, meaning and scope of two key constitutional provisions when they collide. On one hand, Congress has authority under Article 1, Section 8, to “provide for the common defense.” Everyone understands that a nation must possess the power and means to protect itself; otherwise, its territorial integrity, sovereignty and very existence may be put to risk. On the other, the First Amendment provides that Congress shall make no law “abridging freedom of speech.” Suppression of speech in the name of national security strikes many as reasonable in the face of the destruction of the nation after all, but what if the term, “national security,” is cynically or unreasonably cast into discussion as a means of silencing dissenters who oppose a governmental policy or program? American history is rife with examples that have posed this dilemma. In 1798, during the war with France, Congress passed the Sedition Act which prohibited criticism that harmed the reputation of government and some of its officials. In 1917, in the context of World War I, Congress passed the Espionage Act, which made criminal any act that obstructed recruiting efforts or caused insubordination in the armed forces. In addition, Congress enacted the Sedition Act of 1918 that made it an offense to say or do anything that opposed the cause of the United States in the war.

Each of these measures reflected a congressional determination to provide for the common defense and ensure our national security. Each of these measures was attacked as an unconstitutional infringement on the rights of Americans. These episodes shined a bright light on the fundamental values underlying freedom of speech and the functions it plays in a democratic society. This deep inquiry has led to a summary of free speech principles that has been embraced ever since. First, freedom of speech is considered essential to the development of human personality and potential. The right, indeed, the need, to express oneself and communicate with others, to engage in discussion and debate, is integral to the fulfillment of our character and dreams as human beings. Suppression of speech therefore suppresses one’s individual growth and violates one’s dignity and integrity. From this viewpoint, freedom of expression is not merely an end in itself, but also a means of achieving other goals. Second, freedom of speech is critical to attaining knowledge and judgment. John Stuart Mill, the brilliant English philosopher, demonstrated in his famous book, “On Liberty” (1859), that knowledge and enlightened judgment are impossible to achieve unless one is willing to consider all facts and opinions, and to test one’s own opinions against those challenging his own. As such, all opinions, even those without merit or evidence have value since they force us to compare those ideas with our own. Such a measurement or test will enable us to determine that our own ideas are stronger than those opposing ours or, conversely, that ideas in opposition to our own are superior, which would compel us to rethink our position and seek better understanding of the issues involved. Listening to the opinions of dissenters thus promotes individual needs and goals, and serves the great societal purpose of discerning the “truth,” that is, better ideas and opinions. Supression of unpopular speech
thus undermines the “marketplace of ideas.” Third, freedom of speech is an integral part of self-government. Speech that critiques and perhaps criticizes governmental policies, programs and laws serves the vital purpose of ensuring thorough consideration of alternatives. It may also correct flaws in the policies and point the way to superior approaches. If the government can censor or suppress speech that criticizes government, then it is undermining the important role that citizens can play in influencing and shaping their government. Fourth, free speech is critical to the process of peaceful societal change. Ideas can be evaluated before they are put into effect, which can spare the country unnecessary loss if they are weak and unworthy of implementation. It also serves to promote discussion that can help to avoid resort to violence. Suppression of ideas will often force individuals or organizations to “go underground,” in order to present their views. It is far better for the nation if ideas surface so as to promote examination of their relative strengths and weaknesses. These rationales for free speech were at the center of the controversies that arose when laws passed in the name of preserving national security clashed with the expression of dissenting viewpoints. These clashes gave rise to important cases before the Supreme Court in the context of World War 1 and its aftermath that shaped First Amendment law in our nation. Next week, we look at how the court approached and resolved these constitutional issues.

ND Matters: Let’s have more postal socialism By Llyod Omdahl Socialism really took a beating during the recent campaign when the word was used to condemn every public work except the space program. That wasn’t on earth so it didn’t count. People who didn’t have a clue of the real meaning of socialism were scampering across the prairie like Chicken Littles shouting “Socialism is coming! Socialism is coming!” That would make a good sequel to “The Russians Are Coming” because they didn’t show up either. But there comes a time in history when a public need must be met with a public response. On such occasions, we don’t necessarily want to take over the six basic industries. All we want is our mail delivered. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out our priorities when we were throwing billions on a wall to save the Alamo and then pinching pennies so shekels could be saved cutting back the mail service. Last December, the postal service guaranteed 2-day delivery on my

son’s package between Denver and Atlanta and 12 days later it arrived. A Christmas gift turned into a Valentine’s greeting. The USPS has an organization chart but it is the only thing organized. Most people think organization charts reflect the power structure when, in fact, they only reflect pay grades. It’s the little lady in the mail room who runs the place. At the very zenith of the organization is a Board of Governors consisting of nine presidential appointees, all confirmed by the U. S. Senate on slow days. Of course, there were nine at the time of this writing but everything in Washington is in flux so don’t send any letters just yet. As a matter of fact, Joe Biden played politics with the Board last week and appointed three Democrats, giving the radical left a majority. An efficiency expert by the name of Louis DeJoy is now (or was yesterday) Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer. In dream, he told the press that they might as well get used to him because he plans to be around a long time. He dreamed that a week ago. It has matured into a nightmare. In response to criticism of the slowup in Ben Franklin’s department, Louis argued that he was not a political appointment. He was just slowing the mail so the absentee ballots would be late. In addition to being a great political fundraiser, DeJoy’s major cre-
dential for the job was contracting with the Postal Service as Chair and CEO of New Breed Logistics for 25 years. So the origin of his paycheck remained the same, only the chair was bigger. As a goal, DeJoy was “committed to creating a long-term viable operating model” that could remain aloof from the rest of the government. Apparently, he didn’t know that “long term” in governmentese means until the next election. So we now have a transition situation in Washington, the outcome of which is speculative. Distance is a killer and no matter where you send it from North Dakota you are faced with distance. Nevertheless, we need options. Reviving the Pony Express has become a reasonable idea. These mounted riders grabbed the mail at the railhead in St. Joseph, Missouri and made the 1800 miles to Sacramento in just 10 days. Not bad. If DeJoy lasts another month, the Pony Express will pass the USPS in viability. We should also think of carrier pigeons. They were more likely to make it to the end of the route. Of course, now that everybody in the United States has a gun, pigeons would need hazardous duty feed. Personally, I think a well-funded mail service is the only way to go and meet the hazards of socialism head-on. Lloyd Omdahl is a former state lieutenant governor and professor at UND.

Canola Getting it Right production update set for March 16 Producers and crop advisers will have an opportunity to learn more about canola production during the Getting it Right in Canola Production online conference that North Dakota State University Extension, with support from the Northern Canola Growers Association, is holding from 8:30 a.m. to noon Tuesday, March 16. Canola is a major oil crop in the northern Great Plains, particularly in North Dakota. In 2020, North Dakota accounted for nearly 1.5 million harvested acres, approximately 83% of all acres harvested in the U.S., according to Hans Kandel, Extension agronomist for broadleaf crops and co-organizer of the conference. “Canola production involves many management decisions, and new research-based information is made available regularly,” says Sam Markell, Extension plant pathologist. “Our goal is to provide results to producers that they can consider when making the best management decisions for their farm.” This educational event will provide recommendations to help producers with canola production decisions for the 2021 growing season. Topics that will be covered and speakers are: • Canola variety considerations and plant development - Kandel • Plant establishment - Bryan
Hanson, research agronomist, NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center, and Greg Endres, NDSU Extension cropping systems specialist • Plant nutrition - Dave Franzen, NDSU Extension soil science specialist • Northern Canola Growers Association Report - Barry Coleman, association executive director • Market update - Ray Albrecht, Cargill • Weed management update Brian Jenks, NDSU weed scientist, North Central Research Extension Center • Clubroot, blackleg and sclerotinia management - Markell • Insect management - Janet Knodel, NDSU Extension entomologist Attendees also will receive a list of several pertinent Extension canola production resources as reference materials. The program is free of charge but preregistration is required. Visit https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ carringtonrec/events. Those who preregister will receive emailed instructions on how to participate in the meeting. The presentations will be recorded and archived. Certified crop adviser continuing education credits will be available for meeting participants.
USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds producers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming that the final date to purchase or make changes to crop insurance on spring-planted crops in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming is March 15 for the 2021 crop year. Farmers also need to notify their agent if they have planted winter wheat in a county with only spring wheat coverage by this date. Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Producers may select from several coverage options, including yield coverage, revenue protection, and area risk policies. Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2021 crop year. Agents can help producers determine what policy works best for their operation and review existing coverage to ensure the policy meets their needs.
RMA is authorizing additional flexibilities due to coronavirus while continuing to support producers, working through Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) to deliver services, including processing policies, claims and agreements. RMA staff are working with AIPs and other customers by phone, mail, and electronically to continue supporting crop insurance coverage for producers. Farmers with crop insurance questions or needs should continue to contact their insurance agents about conducting business remotely (by telephone or email). More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus. 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. Producers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma.usda.gov.

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Grab a Book, or Magazine, or… As my son set the timer to keep track of how long he was reading to me last night, it was fun to see the excitement of another reading month. There are always extra activities at school this month to promote reading, as well as sheets to track the amount of time families spend reading. Though the month is dedicated to reading, it really is important for caregivers of children to encourage reading all year long to help promote reading and its importance. I remember as a small child (3, I believe), I would follow along with my mom as she read me stories before bed. She would also bring me books while I sat in the corner in time out because of fighting with one of my sisters (and just for the record: it was NEVER my fault…). We would also get to pick out a book at a bookstore sometimes and would visit the library for story hour on a regular basis when I was young. My mom was, and still is, a great encourager of reading. Reading has always been one of my favorite past times, and I always remember reading and books being a large part of my life from my very first memories. Maybe it’s the thought that I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want, even if it is just in my own mind. Maybe it’s the fact that I can have hours upon hours of entertainment for very little cost. Whatever the reason, reading and books have always been something for which I have been grateful. I hope to instill that in my son. There were times when it was painful to listen to him read when he was just starting out. It is also painful when it is a book that I have zero interest in the topic, but I would never let him know that. It’s important to children to read out loud to a caring adult, and it’s our job to encourage them to do so. One thing I have found, is that my

son is more of an engineer and science person than a reader. I’m not discouraged by this as I have found that if I find the right books, if I read to him more, and if I encourage the time spent on reading instead of electronics, then he’s much more interested. So far, we have found some books that catch his interest. These are almost always his go-to when choosing something to read, so I encourage them as often as possible and look for more whenever I can. There are several reasons to be a reader and ways to encourage reading not just for your loved ones, but for yourself as well: 1. Reading every day has been proven to increase a child’s success in school in all subjects. All it takes is 20 minutes and should be started as early in the child’s life as possible (birth!). They don’t need to be able to read to benefit from reading! 2. Being a lifelong reader has been proven to reduce memory loss in older adults, according to several studies that have been conducted. It doesn’t matter what is being read, just that reading is an active part of a person’s life. 3. Find all different kinds of ways to read. Reading doesn’t have to include a book. Find an old journal from when you were a child, read a food label as you eat together (additional nutrition education, yay!), create a scavenger hunt with words as clues, or use signs as you travel to pick out letters and words. The possibilities are endless! 4. Be the example. Spend time reading your own books and other material during the time that your child can see you reading. Talk about reading with them, and some of the fun things you have read. Encouragement comes in all forms. 5. Use animated voices and different inflections while reading to your child. It creates excitement and change, and kids enjoy it. 6. Designate a specific reading time. Whether it’s in the morning to start your day, after work to unwind, or before bed to relax, designate that time to escape into the wonders of a new world, adven-
ture, or idea. 7. Give books as a gift to yourself and others. Instead of food for Valentine’s Day and other special occasions that traditionally involve treats, create a reading gift basket. It can go along with the theme of the holiday or can be geared to the person’s favorites. Choose to pamper yourself with purchasing books that catch your interest. There are many books to choose from, and you can find them by walking around a bookstore, asking for recommendations, and searching for bestsellers online. 8. Virtual reading time can be a fun way to get together with loved ones because of health or distance reasons. Who wouldn’t love to have reading time with Grandma or Grandpa even with hundreds of miles between? It gives time together and encourages reading all at the same time. 9. Have a fun time selecting books to read while traveling. Hours of reading time can happen on a car, plane, bus, or train ride. Put the electronics away and encourage the lightweight paperback instead. 10. Set a reading goal. Choose an amount of time, number of days, or number of books by a certain deadline. It can keep a person on track and can be fun to see how much can be accomplished by simply setting goals. If you would like more information on how to encourage your children to read or set reading goals for yourself, feel free to visit our website at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/extension and search for reading. You can also give us a call at the NDSU Extension office in Cavalier County (256-2560) or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. Even though it’s reading month and is a fun time to have some reading fun, it is a great reminder to kick-start our reading adventures for the whole year! I hope you enjoy some family time while reading. Maybe you could even create a new tradition or find a new adventure. So, grab a book, a magazine, a newspaper, a food label, or (fill in the blank) and get reading!

Ken Shobe
Funeral services were held Saturday, March 6, 2021, at Zion Lutheran Church in Mohall for Kenneth Jerome Shobe, 85, of Mohall, who passed away on March 1, 2021, at Edgewood Hawks Point in Dickinson. Kenneth Jerome Shobe was born on July 19, 1935, in Judson to Clarence and Hannah (Trytten) Shobe. He attended school for his first four years in Reynolds and graduated from McVille High School in 1953. Ken attended UND and Mayville State University, graduating in 1958. From 1958 to 1961, he taught and coached boys’ basketball in Osnabrock. He then moved to Langdon to teach and coach boys’
basketball. He was elementary principal in Langdon from 1966-76. He married Candace Larson on Oct 14, 1969, at the First Presbyterian Church in Langdon. Two sons were born to them. In April of 1976, he moved his family to Mohall, where he opened a Coast to Coast hardware store. He operated that store until 1985, after which he became Mohall’s City Coordinator until his retirement in 2019. He was honored by the North Dakota League of Cities as State Employee of the Year in 2009. He was also inducted into the Langdon Educators’ Hall of Fame in 2019. He served as Mayor of Mohall from 1980 to 1984. He was also a former Renville County Commissioner. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, along with his love of high school basketball. He followed the Mohall Yellow Jackets and M-LS Mavericks over the years. He be-
came a Dickinson Trinity Titan fan as soon as his grandsons became involved in Titan athletics. They were the joy of his life. Ken is survived by his wife of 51 years, Candace Shobe, Mohall; sons: Jeffrey Shobe of Kenmare and Jerry (Amy) Shobe of Dickinson; grandchildren: Jake and Luke Shobe; brother Wesley Shobe of McVille; sister Gaynell Arneson of St. George, UT; and several nieces and nephews. Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Hannah Shobe; sister-in-law Madeline Shobe; and brother-in-law Robert Arneson. Brose Funeral Home, Mohall was in charge of arrangements.

Woman At The Well – Lent 3 Relationships that came to a crisis but got resolved by God are featured in our readings this Sunday. A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl. She wanted to know what the United States looked like. Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to her and said, “Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today.” After a few minutes she returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. “Oh,” she said, “on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.” It works the same way for relationships. In our first reading, the Israelites and Moses are in a crisis in the desert. Why did you ever make us leave Egypt? Was it just to have us die here of thirst… They had a lack of gratitude. And, it sounds as if even Moses doesn’t know what to do next to get them the water they need, but God tells him to, “Strike the rock, and the water will flow from it for the people to drink.” This Moses did, in the presence of the elders of Israel, and water was given. There is also a crisis in relationships in our Gospel reading under the theme of: LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES. An ad in the local newspaper read: “For sale, sleeveless wedding gown, white, size 8, veil included. Worn once, by mistake.” That’s what most addiction is at its core – trying to fill the aching emptiness with something that will take away the pain – suicide, promiscuity, and greed. St. Augustine was essentially right when he noted that within every heart there is God shaped hole. Most of the women in the vicinity would have been at the well early in the morning to get the water they needed for the day. Perhaps the woman in today’s gospel came to draw water at noon in order to avoid nasty looks or comments from the other woman about her past five husbands and her current situation living with a man. This women tried the first husband, drinking of that “water”, and she was not satisfied. Then the second, third, fourth, and fifth husbands. Since none of these satisfied her, she was trying another one (one that was not hers). Her changing of husbands fully proved that however much she drank of that “water”, she was still thirsty. The Lord said, “everyone that drinks of this well will thirst again”. Jesus states that the water from the well will leave one thirsty again, representing the received religion tradition there in Samaria. In the Jewish tradition, the Torah was liken to living water. Here, it
is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit. Jesus promises that this water will become a font overflowing within her. This means that she will be overflowing with God’s grace and life. LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES She had 5 men, now living with a sixth. Number 7 is God. She desires the peace and the happiness that the things of this world cannot provide. Some Scriptural terms for sanctifying grace and its effects are “living water,” “born again,” “wedding garment,” “new creation,” “children of God,” “divine adoption,” “life,” the Holy Spirit is the living water “welling up to eternal life” (Jn 4.14) in the heart that prays. It is he who teaches us to accept it [the living water] at its source: Christ. Indeed, in the Christian life, there are several wellsprings where Christ awaits us to enable us to drink of the Holy Spirit (CCC 2652). Lessons for evangelization-- She is surprised that he even speaks with her. The Jews and the Samaritans did not speak to each other. She had guilt and shame, but she did not respond in fear. When Jesus recounts her past husbands, it is only a statement of fact, not condemning. Jesus called her “woman” which is a term in the Bible not of reproof or severity but of endearment or respect. Maybe even more respect than she treated herself. The woman is co-habitating, and Jesus says that he is not her husband, but he turns her into a missionary. Moral challenges and delicate issues can be addressed with the promise of grace. Law of gradualness-- Human beings know, love and accomplish moral good by different stages of growth. She went from addressing Jesus as “Sir,” then “Prophet,” then “Messiah.” All the Samaritans of that town call Jesus the Savior of the world after the two days he spent with them. (John 4:42). The love of God she experienced, but God demonstrates his own love for us in this: Romans 5:8: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus changed this woman, from someone seen as a sinner to a preacher of the Gospel and someone with a great testimony. She goes to the well at NOON to avoid people, but now she proclaims her message to the people of the village. Jesus says that the day will come when it won’t matter about what mountain we choose to worship on but that we will worship the Father in the Spirit and truth. I have a chapel near my office where I like to pray because the Eucharist, the Real Presence of Jesus, is there. It’s a peaceful, special place, but even when we cannot go the chapel, we can worship Jesus in the Spirit and in truth. Food--Jesus insists that doing the will of God is, in itself, sustaining. This is mission!!

Greetings! On behalf of the Langdon Area Chamber of Commerce I’d like to share a few updates on what the LACC is doing. We had our LACC General Membership meeting on Monday, March 1 at Noon. We met in person at the Langdon Research Center or via ZOOM for those who couldn’t be there. We discussed many ideas and upcoming events. We would like to invite more members to attend our next meeting on Monday, May 3 at Noon. We will have more information on our spring and summer plans. We are beginning plans for some fun spring and summer activities. As with every event during this
Financial Corner with Amber
Amber Meyer Financial Representative for TruStone Wealth Management LIFE CONVERSATIONS with your adult children As an advisor, helping clients plan for their future is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. The conversations focusing around living our lives - college education planning, home upgrades, major purchases or retirement - are pleasant, exciting and important. Conversations about aging and death, although equally important, can be difficult for both my clients and their children. I don’t imagine anyone truly wants to think about “the end,” but I do believe we all desire to have peace of mind knowing our affairs will be settled in accordance with our wishes and without family conflicts. Preserving family unity, in addition to leaving a legacy, are the top two priorities I hear most often from my clients when discussing wealth transition to their heirs. Based on my experience as a financial advisor, communication is a key in helping to ensure both goals are reached. The big question isn’t if we should tell our family members our desires, but rather how. We’ve all heard it a hundred times, it’s not “what” we say but “how.” How do we begin a conversation that has the potential to make both sides anxious and uneasy? I would suggest starting with some personal storytelling. Talking candidly about your own personal

legacy, or life story, of what has been most impactful and transformative in your life will help your family gain valuable insight into what has shaped your morals, aspirations and decisions. Remember: your legacy isn’t just money and assets, but also the personal values and perspectives you hold in highest regard. Consider starting with where and how you grew up. Include who your mentors were and why. What were some of your successes and failures and what led to each outcome? What did you learn in the process? What are your hopes and dreams for your heirs after you’re gone? Encourage an open and engaging two-way dialogue and be willing to answer questions. The source of most conflict is the unknown. When your family understands what you have chosen to do and why, often times much of the controversy, distrust and angst gets diffused. They don’t have to agree with, much less like, your decision (it’s YOUR legacy) but their knowing your reasoning and method has been thoughtful may help potential future squabbling. I’ve talked about how and why you should have a legacy conversation with your family. The next question is what should you tell them? For starters, they need to know who is on your team: your attorney, accountant, financial advisor, banking institution, insurance agent

and any other trusted professional. What are your wishes for long term care, if needed, and how will it be funded? Do you have a healthcare directive and who is your proxy? In the event of your incapacity, do you have a power of attorney and who have you named? Have you completed beneficiary designations on your financial accounts? This is very important. Named account beneficiaries supersede your will and pass to your heirs outside of probate. Have you communicated your funeral wishes with regard to burial or cremation? Is there a will or trust and have you updated your documents? It is imperative to keep things current as laws and situations may change. If you don’t have a valid will or other legally enforceable means of transferring your property, the state will determine how your estate is settled. This may not align with your personal goals. Your family also needs to know where you keep your important papers.

We work with a large network of other professionals and are happy to be a part of the team that will guide you through the process of building a personalized plan to ensure your wishes are understood and fulfilled. No one is too young or old, wealthy or not, to be without a plan for the future.

Lady Cards set to defend State Title after winning Region 4 Tourney for third straight year
Cardinals Kaylee Lowery named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team was on a three-game losing streak heading into the 2021 District 8 Girls Basketball Tournament, but the Lady Cards righted the ship with some great defense, pushing their winning to five. They had three wins in the Region 4 Tourney: 44-23 over New Rockford-Sheyenne on February 22, 46-30 against Nelson County on February 23 then, in the Region 4 title game, beating Four WindsMinnewaukan 48-42. With the three wins, the Cardinals now advance to the State Class B Girls Basketball Tournament at the MSU-Dome in Minot on March 4-6. Langdon-Edmore-Munich was seeded fifth and played fourth seeded Carrington in the opening round. Cards senior Kaylee Lowery and junior Morgan Freije both made the All-Region 4 team, with Lowery winning Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year honors. Here is a recap of their three games at the Region 4 Tournament: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 44, New Rockford-Sheyenne 23 In their opening game of the tournament at home versus New Rockford-Sheyenne, the game had a rather bizarre rhythm to it all night. The Cards got some first quarter points from Jaya Henderson, including two 3-pointers to help give her team a 14-8 lead after one quarter. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich defense has gone up a level in the postseason, and it showed against the Rockets when the Lady Cards shut them out 12-0 in the second quarter. As good as the defense has been, the offense has still been up and down. The Cardinals only managed a Kaylee Lowery basket late in the third quarter for their only points of the frame, but they would recover with five points each from Marlee Hetletved and Morgan Freije to put the game away. This game was also unique in that neither team had a girl reach double figures. Henderson and Freije led the Cards with nine points each, followed by Hetletved with seven. Lowery and Freije had six rebounds apiece. The Rockets were led by Kelsie Belquist with eight points. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 46, Nelson County 30 In the semifinals of the Region 4 Tourney, the Cardinals again played at home and hosted Nelson County, a new girls basketball co-op this season between Dakota Prairie and Lakota. The defense was iron tough

Kaylee Lowery had eight points at the break, while Jalynn Swanson added five. In the second half Lowery would make sure the Cardinals would hold their big lead, as she put in 15 of her game high 23 points in the third and fourth quarters. Defensively the Lady Cards held Nelson County's leading scorer, Kylee Baumgarn, to zero points for the game. Lowery also recorded a doubledouble for the game with 10 rebounds. The Cards won despite shooting just 30 percent for the contest and were only 1 for 12 from the 3-point line. Hollie Emory led the Chargers with eight points. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 48, Four Winds-Minnewaukan 42 In the Region 4 Tournament championship game, the Lady Cards met Four Winds-Minnewaukan, and they were looking to avenge a regular season loss to the Indians. The Cards defense was stellar once again, as they forced two and nearly three shot clock violations on FW-M to start the game. Langdon-Edmore-Munich led by six points after one quarter, but the Indians were creeping back into the game when the Cardinals hit back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers, two from Cora Badding and one by Whitney Pankratz, to push the lead back to eight at the half, 26-18. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had their biggest lead at 32-21 in the third quarter, when the Indians came back as they did in the first meeting. They tied the score twice in the fourth quarter but never got

Kaylee Lowery hit a deep shot from long distance, and Lexi Olson, who had played sparingly in the tourney due to spraining her ankle in the Cards last practice before the District 8 Tournament, had a huge rebound and a critical steal to give her team the lead. Jaya Henderson then buried a 3-pointer and hit two free throws to bury the Indians. Lowery had 14 points to lead the Cardinals, followed by nine each from Henderson, Badding and Morgan Freije. Lowery also led the team with eight rebounds. The Cardinals were very fortunate that FW-M missed nine free throws in the game, going 14 of 23.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL Cardinals boys finally get it done, win District 8 Tournament for the first time in 15 years Grant Romfo named District 8 Senior Athlete of the Year; Haaven named Coach of the Year By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer It's been a long time since the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys basketball team won the District 8 Boys Basketball Tourney. We are talking about 15 years, since 2006. Since that time, there have been many close calls, some lean years and many frustrating moments. All of that is now forgotten, as the Cards won the 2021 tournament with a win over Dunseith at home 70-64 on March 1. The Cardinals also beat St. John in the semifinals 69-46. Grant Romfo was names District 8 Senior Athlete of the Year, and Andy Haaven was named Coach of the Year. Grant and Simon Romfo and Jagger Worley, all seniors, were named to the All-District 8 team. The Cardinals will now move on to the Region 4 Boys Basketball Tournament, where they will look for their first trip to the State B Tournament since 1996. They play at home versus Benson County in the first round on March 8 at 6:00 p.m. Here is a recap of the Cards two games at the district tourney: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 69, St. John 46 Being the top seed in the tournament, the Cardinals got a bye in the first round of the tourney then hosted St. John in the semifinals at home on February 27. After battling the Woodchucks to a 10-6 lead after the first quarter, the Cards shot the lights out in the second and third quarter by scoring 50 points in the two frames. The Worley brothers got it going in the second, with Jagger having eight points and Rayce seven. Then Grant Romfo, who got into foul trouble in the first half, put

Congratulations to Grant Romfo, named District 8 Senior Athlete of the Year and to Coach Andrew Haaven on being named District 8 Coach of the Year.
A lot of Cards player played great in the title game, as Langdon-Edmore-Munich built a 60-44 lead in the fourth quarter before Dunseith made things interesting at the end. The Dragons dropped in four 3-pointers in the last three minutes of the game and pulled to within five points. The Cardinals, however, were 10 for 10 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter, including four from Simon Romfo, who finished with a game high 26 points. He was followed by 17 from Jagger Worley and 10 from Grant Romfo. All three seniors played their last regular season high school basketball games in the Langdon gym, and all three made it count. Grant Romfo had 14 rebounds in the contest, and Jagger Worley had 12 boards to give both players a double-double. Jalen Poitra led the Dragons with 21 points.

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
A wild weekend of local sports As we chatter at you this week, we are just hours away from heading down to cover the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team at the State B Girls Basketball Tournament in Minot. What a year its been for the Lady Cards, as they battled through a tough stretch at the end of the regular season, settled things down and ran off five straight wins to get to defend their State B Championship. It's also been a unique postseason. Being the Devils Lake High School opted not to host either the Region 4 boys or girls tournaments this year, games were played at home sites in the first two rounds, with the championship being played the Betty Englestad Sioux Center in Grand Forks. So through all that, plus worrying about COVID, and also dealing with some injuries, the Lady Cards are still standing. No matter what happens to them at
State, getting there is the most important thing, and we congratulate them on getting to The Big Dance in Minot, and wish them best of luck in defending their title. Cardinals boys win District 8 Tourney for the first time since 2006 Congratulations go out as well to the Langdon-Edmore-Munich boys basketball team. The Cards finally got it done and won the District 8 Boys Basketball Tournament for the first time since 2006 (The Flink's on Fire!! days). It's been a long run from one title to another, but after a couple of narrow misses, a couple of lean years, and a number of other issues, the boys got it done. Now, the Cards will try and get to their first state tournament since 1996. That is going to be a very tough road, but again like the girls, the boys up to two games at home if they keep winning, and if that would happen would play at the Betty for the title game on March 11. A complete bracket for the tourney can be found in this weeks paper. Congratulations to Grant Romfo for being named District 8 Senior Athlete of the Year, and congrats to Grant and
Lynn Miller took the runner-up trophy at the Tucson Spring Grand Trap Shoot on February 20 in the Class C 200 Singles Championship event. Congratulations!
Simon Romfo, and Jagger Worley on being named to the All-District 8 team. A big shout out as well to Cardinals coach Andy Haaven, was named District 8 Coach of the Year. We with the team the best of luck in their quest for a state berth. Good luck as well to the North Border Eagles boys hoops team, as they are the top seed in the Region 2 Tournament. While we are happy for the teams above, we are also very sad for the way things turned out in the District 8 Tournament for the St. John and Rolla teams. The morning of the last day of the tourney, a player from St. John tested positive for COVID, which made the whole St. John team close contacts. The Woodchucks played Rolla in the opening round of the tourney on Feb. 26, and infected player was in the game, which also made the Bulldogs players close contacts. So both teams had to forfeit their games, and their seasons ended just like that. We feel the most for the seniors on both teams, who their high basketball careers end in an instant. Thankfully the St. John player never made the trip when the Woodchucks played Langdon-Edmore-Munich in the tourney semifinals. Just when you think we are at the end of the tunnel with this COVID stuff, it gives you a big slap in the face. You just never know, these days especially. Track season coming soon Believe or not, track and field season opened for the year on March 1. How awesome is it to see spring sports go on at all, as of course all of last spring's activities were lost due to COVID-19. Let's hope this year will be different and a full season can be had. Rich Olson is coaching the Cardinals boys track team again this year, and Jane Hart again has the girls. We wish every the best. "See ya!" next week!

HOCKEY Blades boys upset Grand Forks in last game of regular season 6-3 Win locks up 4th seed at State Tourney in Fargo
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon Blades Junior Gold played their last game of the regular season against Grand Forks in a game that was postponed from January due to some COVID issues with the Stallions. The Blades played arguably their best game of the season, winning 6-3. This was the Blades first win over Grand Forks in several years. The win gives Langdon an 8-5-1 record overall on the season. They were the fourth seed in the State Junior Gold Tournament in Fargo held March 4-6, and they played fifth-seeded Minot in the opening round. The Stallions opened up the scoring in the first period with a goal, but the Blades tied it up on a power
play goal from Mason Romfo. The Stallions would score just three seconds later to lead 2-1 going into the second. The middle frame is where Langdon took over, scoring a stunning five goals. Zach Rostvet started the barrage with an unassisted goal followed by the second of the game for Romfo, also unassisted. Cooper Zimmer got into the scoring act with a lamp lighter on an assist by Isak Dease. Romfo would then pull the hat trick with his third goal, assisted by Brody Steinmetz. Alex Gellner would close the five-goal period finding the net on an assist by Romfo. Grand Forks would score the only goal in the third with just 56 seconds left, but it was too little too late. Blades' goalie Dawson Hein came up with 26 saves in the win, and Grand Forks outshot Langdon 29-23.

Prairie Fare: What would you do if your canned food froze?
I sat in the auditorium waiting to listen to a band concert for the first time in about a year. The students walked onto the stage carrying their instruments. All were wearing special masks that allowed them to play trumpets, clarinets and even flutes. As a flutist myself, I wasn’t quite sure I could play wearing a mask. Being in a sparsely populated, socially distanced auditorium and listening to a concert played by masked teenagers was a new experience. However, this seemed more “normal” than watching a livestream at home a mile from the school. They all left the building with a cookie in a plastic bag as a treat. The next day I was on a Zoom call talking with colleagues from around the U.S., including southern states that had weather emergencies recently. One person talked about frozen pipes and water raining in her house as a result of the extremely cold weather and storms. Another talked about having no electricity for days. Then I went online and read some of the questions posted by members of a Facebook group. A couple of people were talking about unintentionally fro-
zen canned foods left in a garage. We are touched by many challenges and even full-fledged disasters in our lives. The ongoing pandemic situation has disrupted our lives. Blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding can affect electricity and food safety. Here are some scenarios to ponder in case you need to cope with a food-related issue after a weather emergency. This information is based on recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. Question 1: Your electricity went out and you have a refrigerator full of perishable food. How long will the refrigerator keep food safe if you keep the refrigerator door closed? A) 2 hours B) 4 hours C) 6 hours D) 8 hours Question 2: Two-part question: During a power outage, how many hours will a full freezer hold the temperature at a safe level if the freezer is kept tightly closed? How many hours will a half-full freezer hold the temperature at a safe temperature level if the freezer is kept tightly closed? A) 48 hours; 24 hours B) 36 hours; 18 hours C) 24 hours; 12 hours D) 16 hours; 6 hours Question 3: Which of these is an indication that thawed, formerly frozen meat is safe to refreeze?

HELP WANTED
F. F. F.
A) The temperature of the food is 60 B) The temperature of the food is 55 C) The temperature of the food is 45
D) The temperature of the food is 40 F or lower and the food has ice crystals. Question 4: A flood has occurred and you are checking whether your food stored in your flooded basement pantry is safe to eat. Which of these foods would not be considered safe to salvage and use if the product came in contact with floodwater? (Mark all that apply) A) Foods with screw caps B) Foods with pull tops C) Foods with crimped tops D) Foods with snap lids Question 5: You are about to sanitize your metal pans and glass dishes that were touched by floodwaters. You wash the containers in soapy water, rinse and then proceed to sanitize them. What is the correct concentration for sanitizing the items, according to the USDA? A) 1 tablespoon of unscented chlorine bleach per quart of water B) 1 teaspoon of unscented chlorine bleach per gallon of water C) 1 tablespoon of unscented chlorine bleach per gallon of water D) 1 teaspoon of unscented chlorine bleach per two gallons of water Question 6: Essay question: You accidentally left some canned goods in your garage, and you found the cans swollen and the contents solidly frozen. What
should you do? Here are the answers: 1. B; 2. A; 3. D; 4. A, B, C, D; 5. C; 6. Inspect the cans. If the seams of the can are rusted or burst, throw the cans away in a place where no human or animal will consume the food. Do not taste the contents. If the cans are swollen and the can damage was caused by the freezing, place the cans in the refrigerator to thaw. If the product looks and/or smells normal, thoroughly cook the contents right away by boiling for 10 to 20 minutes. Products then can be refrigerated or frozen for later use. See https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food for more recipes and food safety information. See https://tinyurl.com/apvpru9z for more information from the USDA about food safety during emergencies. Spring is on the way, and that often means organizing and cleaning kitchen cupboards and appliances. Check your cupboards, refrigerator and freezer for some ingredients to make this delicious main dish meal. Cilantro Lime Steak Fajitas Cilantro Lime Marinade 1 c. cilantro, chopped 1 Tbsp. garlic, minced 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 tsp. dried onions 3 limes, zest and juice Fajitas: 1 1/2 lb. flank steak, trimmed (or other beef steak) Salt and pepper to taste
1 medium red onion, sliced 3 bell peppers, sliced Seasoning for Vegetables: 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1/2 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. cumin 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika To make the marinade, add cilantro, garlic, onions and olive oil to a bowl. Zest the limes, squeeze juice into mix and whisk together. Add the steak to a zip-top plastic bag, pour cilantro mix over the steak and seal the bag. Turn the bag repeatedly to make sure the steak is covered evenly with marinade. Place in refrigerator to marinate for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 450 F. Take meat out of refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking. Slice onions and pepper and add to a bowl with all the vegetable seasoning; mix well. Using a large sheet pan, lay the steak in the middle and spread vegetables around the beef. Cook for 13 minutes, then broil on high for two minutes.

By Rita Maisel
A New Book of Local History: Sometimes a new book about places near us comes out. Without even seeing the book or knowing the exact title, those of us whose grandparents and great-grandparents came here before statehood know it will be worth reading. Jim Benjaminson from Walhalla has been researching life in Pembina County and the surrounding area for much of his lifetime and has a book out on the areas which particularly interested him down through the years - in other words, both new and old stories about Pembina County and some of its neighbors. Until 1871 that area included all of Cavalier County. When some of our ancestors first came, it was a two or three day trip to the Pembina County seat - which at that time was located in the town of Pembina - just to go to court, register their land, or sometimes to have a picture of themselves taken so they could send the results back home to wherever they had started out. As settlers poured into our part of Dakota Territory, primarily from eastern Canada with some of Scandinavian heritage coming from Iowa or Minnesota, the area grew very fast. Hoping eventually for statehood, the 1885 Territorial Census was taken with Pat McHugh as the prime cen-
Cavalier County Republican
sus taker for what is today Cavalier County. He recorded over 5,000 settlers—more than our population today with many of them young people and about 2,000 classed as school-age. County boundaries were a bit fluid in those days, so an election was held which separated 15 townships from Pembina County and added them to the ranges west of the line which had already been designated Cavalier County. At that time, several of the townships were double their present size and quite a few had different names. Olga and maybe Elkwood or Vang got mail, but places like Milton, Osnabrock, Easby, Langdon and Hannah often got mail addressed in care of a prominent citizen living nearby. In Pembina County, things were a bit better. The town of Pembina had been a fur trading post since possibly the late 1700s and was the site of the annual fur trading rendezvous as well as eventually Fort Pembina. Priests began holding services at smaller settlements so there are records of churches, burial grounds and small schools. The hunters with the fur trade traveled west in search of the buffalo each year. They had no roads but had blazed trails. Some old maps list the trails crossing what is Cavalier County today as leading to Fort Totten, but that could be a bit questionable since the mixed bloods living in our area were almost entirely Chippewa or Ojibway who wintered west of Winnipeg, at St. Joe (an old name for the Leroy and Walhalla areas), near
Langdon Long Ago
Pembina, or in the Turtle Mountains. The Indians associated with Fort Totten in that area were the more warlike Sioux and not as involved in the fur trade. I have not yet had a chance to read this new book but am sure the family stories Benjaminson would want to include are those of families who might still have family in our area. I was told he included stories of Louis Riel whose holiday was celebrated by Canada just last week – and attended by modern day Metis who remembered Riel as “Uncle Louis”. Born just south of St. Boniface, Riel’s mother was a member of the Ladjimodiere family and related to many from the Red River settlement now known as Winnipeg and its suburbs. Riel also has his name on streets in North Dakota towns since he spent time on both sides of the border. The book is available from the Cavalier Chronicle office, and I am told the price is affordable, so stop in and pick one up. Proceeds after expenses will go to Pembina County Historical Society. Geographic Neighbors: With the pandemic making gatherings of school children from across the country at Washington, D.C. an unwise situation, the National Geographic cancelled the previously held Geographic Bee. A notice on this credited the annual bees long time moderator, Alex Trebec, with suggesting a home version of the contest which could involve children and their par-

ents in a daily quiz. Materials for this could be obtained by schools who had formerly held geographic bees. While there were no geographic bees when I was growing up and I remember almost nothing about geography lessons in the Langdon Public School, I grew up in a house with maps on the wall to trace the war and books of maps we could study even if we never anticipated any travel. Our house also had family members who provided us with jigsaw puzzles. By second grade my puzzle of the 48 states and their capitals had been memorized. Then in 8th grade Mr. Osmon told us we had to learn all the counties in North Dakota plus their county seats in order to be promoted to high school. Bottineau, Grand Forks, and Bowman were not too difficult, but our class was not shy about asking why isn’t Cavalier in Cavalier County or Towner in Towner County? The class had a lot to say about the foolish way counties and county seat names were spread around. I am not sure our teacher ventured to teach that subject again in the years that followed. It is now basketball season, and there are twenty or more North Dakota teams with ‘County’ in their name, but many have school names that are not related to either a town or a county. From time to time people ask about Nedrose, Lewis and Clark, South Heart (Heart is not a county), and others that I do not remember seeing on maps. I could hazard a guess for some of these names, but my guess might be no closer than your own. If the teams are in the Hoopster magazines, I tend to look for advertising clues near their team pictures. Because many local families originally had relatives living in Canada, most people in our area grew up knowing the names of the provinces of Canada – or at least some of them. Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan were places we had heard about. Lucy Maude Montgomery did her best to educate her readers (mostly girls) about the places in Prince Edward Island Anne of Green Gables lived and visited. Unless you rode the train west, you might have missed knowing about Alberta and British Columbia. A few families had relatives in the Maritimes, which are now a tourist attraction for the beautiful fall foliage of their trees. The Al-Can
Highway and stories from the gold rush to the Klondike told us about the Yukon Territory, but the Northwest Territories (now partly renamed) were on maps but not places we wanted to visit. Newfoundland and Labrador are two separate places that are one province today, while the newest names on the Canada map are Nunavut and the Inuit Territories - both parts of the old Northwest and about as far north as you can get. Some of these name changes are fairly recent so if the map you have does not show them, don’t be surprised. A Windy Story: Doug and Pam Stremick first called one evening in the mid-1990s. Doug was sure he had grandparents buried at Langdon, but he had never been here. When he looked for people named Stremick in this area he got a phone number for Aaron which also happens to be the name of his own son. The next name was Les Stremick, who gave him my number as he knew I had worked on the cemetery books. Eventually the couple came from Iowa and spent several days meeting Stremick relatives or at least people who might be relatives. They have tried to keep in touch ever since. Last Sunday Doug, now with a different wife since Pam died of cancer, called to visit and tell me about life in Iowa and how retirement is going in Story City. The big news was about the damage done by straight line winds last August and especially in nearby Davenport where there has been a very special arboretum for many years. The trees there have come from all over the world, and their collection has become a tourist attraction. Doug likes to make things out of wood (bowls, vases, etc.). and when 40% of the trees in this arboretum were destroyed by the storm, the people in charge began a “releaf” project. No, the word is not misspelled. They are planting new trees, and some of the wood from the ones that the storm destroyed are offered to people who do woodworking. They will use their woodworking skills to create objects that will be sold to help rebuild the arboretum. Local artists that work with wood might want to check this out since there may be some bargains in rare types of wood. In the meantime, Doug sends greetings to all the people he knows in our area.
