Once upon a time, a young woman moved back to her hometown of Langdon. There, she wanted to bring her love of musicals to the entire community. She asked her local arts council, Northern Lights Arts Council (NLAC), and began to make a plan to bring New York’s famed Broadway shows to the small town stage of Roxy Theatre. Now, four years later, Emily Braunberger will bring the beloved music from some of the best known fairy tales for four nights starting on Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m.

“This is the fourth musical I’ve directed in Langdon,” Braunberger said.

Braunberger may still be in the early stages of her directing career but she is a seasoned actress of the Roxy Theater stage.

When she was young, it was at the Roxy Theatre where she fell in love with musical theater. The NLAC sponsored productions of her early days were directed by Marlo Miller. Now, Braunberger enjoys her time in the director’s chair for a few reasons.

“It all started for me here, so to be able to give others the same opportunities I had as a middle and high schooler is pretty special. I hope to instill the same love for musical theater that I have into others. Plus, me being the director allows me to get up on stage and perform, something that doesn’t happen as often as it used to,” Braunberger explained.

no music. Braunberger is very thankful for Schuler and is always grateful when she is able to accompany the show. Schuler also putsextensive work into the show outside of rehearsals.

Having Schuler being a part of the show is a blessing for Braunberger as she believes it is able to take the shows to the next level.

Braunberger wishes to extend a lot of thank yous but a special thanks to Lisa Schuler for being her wing-woman. She is so thankful to have her in the show and loves the element that live piano brings. Thanks to her cast for the hard work and dedication they’ve put in the last two and half months; thanks to Steve Hart and the Roxy for the always appreciated use of the small town theater; and, lastly, but probably most importantly, thanks to her husband, Jordan, for ” holding down the fort at home and putting up with my constant craziness”.

“I know you all will put on a great show,” Braunberger said.

The four performances of this year’s NLAC production of Once Upon an Ever After: fairy tale musicals begins Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m. and subsequent performances are on Friday and Saturday at the same time. The final performance shall take place on Sunday, March 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets for Adulta will be $18 at the door or $15 pre-sale. The cost for students K-12 is $10 and for those 5 and under, tickets are $5. Pre-sale tickets are available at Choice Bank until 4:30 p.m. on March 12, otherwise available at the Roxy ticket booth.

Special notes to those planning to attend or who are frequent movie-goers is that there will not be a movie playing on Friday and Saturday but there will be a movie Sunday and Monday night. It will be a carry over from the previous week’s movie. When deciding when to arrive for the shows, please note that the doors to the Roxy will not open until 30 minutes prior to showtime. This allows the actors the chance to ready themselves for the performance.

Prayer and positive thinking…

It was two years ago to this day that I discovered I had renal cell carcinoma otherwise known as kidney cancer. After thinking I was having a heart attack and going to the hospital, I found out it was something much different and was devastated. That diagnosis came four days before my 59th birthday and that same week I signed up for my Army pension.

So there was a period of four days where I was in limbo. I didn’t think my brain had so many emotions.

At times I was numb, until my wife called Mayo Clinic. They got us an appointment within a week of the diagnosis, and we were there hoping to find something out that would ease some of this difficult-to-take news. We got it. We found out the mass on my left kidney was the most common form of kidney cancer, also called clear cell, renal cell carcinoma.

Fortunately, it wasn’t aggressive so the doctors at Mayo Clinic had time to figure out what they were going to do. They told me right away that surgery to remove the kidney would be the best option, but in the mean time, a targeted therapy called cabozantinib was given to me that made me sick but actually shrunk the tumor so it was more easily operable. In May 2019, the kidney was removed. I’ve gone back to Rochester three times for checkups, and the cancer hasn’t returned.

Cavalier County Republican

Upside Down Under I’ve been lucky. I think I can call myself a survivor. Doctors at Mayo Clinic will tell you cancer is never cured but goes into remission for an indefinite period of time. In fact, many people believe that cancer is always in our bodies and is just waiting for the right trigger. That trigger for me could have been a blood pressure medication called a beta blocker. I’ll never be able to prove that because the kidney is gone, and there won’t be any further analysis, but that is one theory as to why I contracted renal cell carcinoma.

I’ve told this story before in this space, but I want to bring it up on the second anniversary of my diagnosis for several reasons.

1. There was no pain, no discomfort, no blood in the urine, no bulge in my lower back, no pinching on my left side. There wasn’t any of that.

In fact, I felt good and was doing as well as ever, except for maybe aging a little bit and having to slow down with the weed whacker or the snow shovel.

2. A mass almost the size of my left kidney had attached itself to the outside of the kidney and was growing at a slow but consistent rate. It was found on a CT scan via a x-ray. Had it not been found on March 12, 2018, it would most likely still be growing and spreading, and I would have little, if any, knowledge of it.

3. Up until that day, I thought I was 10 feet tall and bullet proof, but when something like that hits you, it hits you so hard you don’t know how to react. I’m repeating this because I want to remind everyone that this can happen to anybody, and you should always do everything you can to protect your health.

In a way, I was lucky because the cancer wasn’t aggressive. In another way, VA and Army doctors had numerous opportunities to find it and didn’t. After the CT scan, it became obvious on blood tests.

My point is you should have complete trust in your doctor. If you don’t, find another physician. The right doctor will help you discover something like this, if not through blood tests, through history of medications or environment or something else.

It’s true that too many people are gone too soon because their cancer wasn’t found in time. Once it spreads and becomes a stage 4 cancer, the percentage of survival declines rapidly, and even the American Cancer Society doesn’t give good odds at stage 4. We’ve all heard the horror stories about people being treated for pneumonia or painful joints that don’t want to work anymore, only to find out later they have cancer and were misdiagnosed.

I’m not a doctor, nor have I ever studied medicine. What I can tell you is I went through this and firmly believe I don’t need a doctor to tell me this was the worst thing that could have happened to me short of death itself. I urge everyone else to pay attention to your body, do what you have to do. Don’t delay a visit to a doctor who you know might give you bad news.

And when you find out, prayer and positive thinking are as important as medicine. My doctor told me attitude is half the battle. At times it was very hard to stay positive, but I did for my family, and I believe it worked.

Dear Editor, DAPL Optimization Key to North Dakota’s Energy Potential North Dakota is home to one of the country’s most prolific oil formations: the Bakken. The Bakken has increased the state’s oil production to 1.44 million barrels per day and could grow to more than 2 million barrels per day if transportation bottlenecks are addressed.

In a significant step towards progress, the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) recently approved a proposal to construct a pump station in Emmons County as part of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) Optimization effort.

DAPL Optimization – which has the support of nearly 70% of North Dakota residents – would increase the pipeline’s capacity to 1.1 million barrels of oil per day. With no new mainline construction needed, the Optimization project would usher in valuable economic opportunities to the state and ensure safe, reliable transport for record oil production to reach consumers. From 2015-2018, DAPL paid North Dakota nearly $25 million in sales and property taxes, and the Optimization project will only increase tax revenues for local services such as school, emergency services and other community needs.

By increasing the pipeline’s capacity, DAPL will bolster American energy security and strengthen U.S. national security and our ability to stabilize the global energy market in the process.

North Dakota’s commitment to the energy industry has secured high-skilled jobs, economic benefits for local communities, and energy security for the United States and its allies. North Dakota and South Dakota have already recognized DAPL’s energy potential – hopefully

Illinois and Iowa will do the same.

Craig Stevens, a former senior advisor to U.S. Energy Secretary Sam Bodman, is the spokesman for Grow America’s Infrastructure Now (GAIN).

Letter to the Editor: Addicts and alcoholics will go to extreme measures to stop the sickness or withdrawal to emerge that comes with using drugs and alcohol. When they start coming to reality and noticing their surroundings, actions, and terrible operating basis they will feel these terrible feelings of guilt and shame that they want to go away instantly. In this moment they become extremely desperate to find their next fix. Me being an addict and alcoholic myself am here to tell you that they can also become that desperate to get help and get out of these terrible circumstances.

It could come with going through withdrawal for too long and reality setting in, or having a traumatic experience happen that knocks them back into thinking remotely clear for the time being. Sometimes they might even just be fed up with the lifestyle itself. These moments of desperation will not last long at all.

From this moment on, time is crucial, and it can become the enemy.

Those holidays, birthdays, jobs, and anything else that you can use as an excuse won’t be there if this time does kill them. Do not let this window of opportunity close. Act fast and save their lives!

Preventing childhood obesity takes community approach

Art students of the month

There are three Art Students of the Month for February. All are from Munich: Brooklynn McArthur- Kindergarten- parents Eric and Dana McArthur, Lily Zimmer- 3rd grade- parents are Steve and Carrie Zimmer and Joevonee Atkinson- 1st grade- parents are Kimberlee and Juan Atkinson.

Childhood obesity is on the rise nationally and in North Dakota.

Obesity increases the risk for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Obesity can also lead to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, low selfesteem, bullying and stigma.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015-2016, the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents aged 2 through 19 years was 18.5%, affecting 13.7 million children and adolescents, or about one in five children. In North Dakota, 14.3% of all children ages 2 through 4 who receive services through the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program are considered obese. In addition, 16.5% of adolescents in grades 9 through 12 are considered obese (2019 North Dakota Youth Risk Behavioral Survey).

“Reducing and preventing childhood obesity needs to be looked at using a whole community approach,” said Sarah Massey, school health specialist with the North

Dakota Department of Health (NDDOH). “Children learn by watching others; what they see their parent, family members and teachers choose is what they most likely will choose. A community-based approach which educates all members of the community on making healthy choices, can result in improved overall health of all North Dakotans.”

The following tips are great ways to incorporate healthy eating choices and more physical activity into your communities: • Eat & Drink Healthy: Establish positive, nurturing environments and healthy patterns of eating and drinking to promote habits that are built on variety, balance, and moderation. Make water the drink of choice, encourage the use of refillable water bottles and place a full pitcher of water on the table during meals.

• Play Every Day: Children should have at least 60 minutes of unstructured play outside (when possible) and break a sweat at least three times a week by getting 20

minutes or more of vigorous physical activity. North Dakota winters can present additional challenges, when inclement weather keeps us inside. Discover new ways to stay active in the winter such as going sledding, ice skating, cross country skiing, checking out an indoor exercise class at a local recreational center or trying an exercise video.

• Reduce Recreational Screen Time: Children 2 to 5 years of age should be limited to one hour of screen time per day. Children 6 and older need to have consistent limits on the time spent using media and make sure media doesn’t take the place of adequate sleep, physical activity and other behaviors essential to health.

• Sleep Well: Children need to keep a regular sleep schedule; encourage them to unwind by reading a book or listening to soft music to prepare for sleep. Growing kids need about 10-12 hours of healthy sleep a night.

Collaborative recital set for March 16 A collaborative musician is one who creates music with others. The students of Lisa Schuler will be presenting a collaborative recital on Monday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m. at the United Lutheran Church in Langdon. Mrs. Schuler has chosen to have her students perform in a collaborative recital in hopes that they will discover both the fun and the challenges that can be had in making music with others. Piano music will be sprinkled throughout the program, but the audience will also hear other instruments and voices.

Each grade from 2nd through 12th chose who they wanted to perform with, the music style, what they wanted to wear, what props to use and even how they will bow. It has been a creative process, and the students are looking forward to sharing their music with the communi-

presents

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Adrian Olson of North Parish

The clear focus of this week’s readings is the idea of faith or believing. Abram, believing God’s promise, sets out from his home to a new land. The Psalm expresses deep faith in the God who protects and cares for God’s people. Paul emphasizes Abraham’s faith as the doorway into relationship with God and invites believers to embrace a similar faith in Christ. And Nicodemus, coming to Jesus in the night, is invited to be born again, born from above, in order to see God’s reign, and to recognize that Jesus is the one who came to bring life – salvation – to those who believe. The call to faith is unavoidable here, but, of course, the question it raises is this: what is faith? Is it simply an intellectual agreement with certain propositions? Or is it something deeper? The key lies in the conversation with Nicodemus, where faith and the new birth are brought together by Jesus. This faith, then, is not just accepting ideas in the mind. It is an experience of new birth. It is a completely new way of being that enables us to ‘see’, to ‘know’ God’s reign and then to live out of this new birth as leaves driven by the wind. This is certainly more than just signing a pledge card or praying a specific prayer in order to be “saved”. This believing is completely transforming, and must, therefore, like birth and the life which follows it, be a growing, developing experience that is embraced anew each day.

If there is anything that our world needs today, it is faith. In the face of cynical partisan politics, divisive and cynical polarization around issues as diverse as climate change and abortion, and faith communities that offer nothing but negative, cynical or doom-saying assessments of the world, it is both prophetic and healing to live and speak from a position of faith. As we engage the world and its struggles from a deep faith in the God who is at work to save creation, we cannot help but offer hope and connection to all we encounter – whether we agree with them or not. As we engage people with the faith that they are created in God’s image and that God is at work in their lives, we cannot do other than embrace them in Christ’s name and call out the God-imaged glory within them. Such faith must lead to completely different responses to the challenges of our world.

Greed and hoarding is a symptom

of a lack of faith in God’s provision and leads to poverty for others.

War is a lack of faith in God’s protection and leads to escalating violence and insecurity. The refusal to address issues of justice is a lack of faith in God’s resources within us to make a contribution and leads to ongoing disparity and suspicion between “the haves” and “the have-nots”, between the perpetrators and victims of injustice. If we can begin to live in faith, though, we may appear foolish or even naive, but it will make a huge impact on the big issues of our world. Just a few faithful people really can make a big difference.

In our churches it is easy to reduce faith to a system of ideas that we call our people to accept. It is easy to make salvation nothing more than praying the right prayer and signing the right card. But, if we do this, we rob our people of the true power and value of faith.

A faith that is simply a set of ideas does not lead us to new birth. It does not change our very lives and give us a new way of seeing or a God’s-reign way of being – which may be why Christians are so often accused of being hypocrites. The faith of Abraham that Paul calls us to experience, the faith that leads to new birth, which Jesus offered to Nicodemus, is a transforming encounter with a God who leads us into a whole new world – the world of God’s reign, where children are the leaders, the meek inherit the earth, and the poor, the mourners and the peace makers are the recipients of God’s presence and grace.

Once we have embraced this faith, we cannot help but begin to live this new life in such a way that it makes a difference in our families, our places of work and leisure, our communities and our churches.

Once we have been born anew, we find ourselves recognizing Christ in those we would normally shun, and we begin to care about issues that we would normally ignore. It is not our obedience that leads us to life – as Paul points out – but our faith. However, faith that does not change who we are and how we live, is not faith at all. Ultimately, believing does not happen in our heads alone but in our whole being and in lives that, in small but significant ways, touch the least with grace and compassion, and seek to make the world a more hopeful, celebratory and gracious place.

Brush with the Bunch

Since I have already shared one Artist of the Month, since I missed a few in the past, I may as well honor one more; Carol Clark has been a member of the Brush Bunch since the 2000-2001 season. According to her, she had never attempted to do any art work. Talk about opening a “Can of Worms.“ Carol has tackled many major projects from painting the statues for the St. Rosa of Lima Catholic Church of Hillsboro to her latest project she is doing for Nicole Longtin, a grouping of three panels for her living room. As our Artist of the Month for January to May - her display is outstanding, to say the least. For the last sixteen years Carol has been the artist in charge of the scenery accompanying the plays held at Frostfire for the last several years. Not sure how many but Carol has painted the stage, floor, backdrop and anything else that needs painting. Her must see display shows pictures of all the performances she has designed and painted such as: Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserable, and Smoke on the Mountain- just to name a few. Carol did not comment on her plans for this year‘s performance of “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do“- a jukebox musical based on the life on Neil Sedeka. I mentioned earlier “her must see display“.

It is worth the stop at the Gorge Gallery where the Brush Bunch meet every Tuesday from 10 until 5. The coffee is always on. We would like to take a minute to thank the “Walhalla Mountaineer“ for carrying our Brush Bunch articles for the last many years, since 2006 and 435 articles. Thank you, Rodney and Steve, we wish you well. Remember our Brush Bunch Art and Sale Show the first weekend in May. On a lighter note from Laurel: strange things to get your mind off politics (boy do we need that now)- “Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because he doesn‘t wear pants.“ Have a great day and God Bless.

tater-tot-like hot-dishes; an advanced directive that said he was not to have medical intervention if pointless; and plenty of pain medicine for comfort. When I visited him two days before his death, despite an expanding belly full of cancer, he told me he was getting enough meds and was comfortable. Most important, he was absolutely not fearful but courageously accepting of the dying process.

In comparison, I find it tragic and too common that patients and families are overwhelmed with a fear of death. Some suggest this disabling dread comes from our cultural practice of covering up death with the intent to make life easier. Thus, a lifelong apprehension and running from death has become the norm.

Bottom line, too many people choose to be dragged through unnecessary suffering at their end of life, and too often doctors and nurses comply. We could do a better job stopping unnecessary medicines, touching our patients more and providing comfort to not only the patient, but to the patient’s family as well.

Dying people have the right to ask for and be reassured that enough comfort medicine will be provided and that it’s going to be alright. Our profession has been improving in this regard, but certainly could do better. When it’s time, it’s important that we all have the opportunity for a comfortable death, just like my neighbor.

Lady Cards win 3rd straight Region 4 Title to advance to the State B Ronningen named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year; Rob Scherr named Region 4 Coach of the Year

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls basketball were determined to get to the State Class B Girls Basketball Tournament for the third straight year when they entered the 2020 Region 4 Girls Basketball Tournament, held in Devils Lake February 24-27. That determination payed off in three dominant wins at the regional -- The Lady Cards beat New Rockford-Sheyenne in the opening round 60-14, blasted St. John 83-21 in the semifinals, then beat a very good Four Winds-Minnewaukan team 69-41 in the championship 69-41. The Lady Cards record is unbeaten at 24-0 as they will now play in the State Class B Girls Basketball Tournament to be held at the Betty Englestad Sioux Center in Grand Forks March 5-7.

The Cardinals played their first game of the tourney versus Hettinger-Scranton at 6:30pm on March 5. Lady Cards senior Callie Ronningen was named to the All-Region 4 Team, and she was also named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year, while Cardinals coach Rob Scherr was named Region 4 Coach of the Year. Here is a recap of the Lady Cards three games at the Region 4 Tourney: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 60, New Rockford-Sheyenne 14 The Cardinals were big favorites to win over the Rockets, but were a even bigger nod to win when NR-S leading scorer Hannah Haley was out for the game after injuring herself in practice a couple of days earlier. Callie Ronningen got the team off to fantastic start with 13 points in the first quarter, and Jaya Hen-

derson came off the bench and put in 11 first half points to help give the Cards a 41-9 halftime lead.

Defensively Langdon-EdmoreMunich was on point, allowing the Rockets to score just four points in the second half. The highest scorer for NR-S had just three points.

Ronningen led the Cardinals with 17 points, followed by Henderson with 13, plus Kaitlynn Scheer and Morgan Freije with nine each. Ronningen had a team high seven rebounds and six steals for the game, while Marlee Hetletved led the team with assists.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich 83, St. John 21 In the tournament semifinals, the Cards met a familiar foe in St. John, who upset Harvey-Wells County in the opening round. LangdonEdmore-Munich would again get off to another huge start, with Lexi Wols leading the way with 13 first half points plus 10 in the second quarter from Kaylee Lowery to push the Cardinals out to a 45-11 lead at halftime.

The Lady Cards did not let up from there, outscoring the Woodchucks 38-10 in the second half.

The Cardinals shot a very nice 53 percent from the field and out rebounded St. John 44-23, led by Olson with seven boards. They also dished out 22 assists, with six girls having at least two. The Cards had four players in double figures, led

by Lowery and Callie Ronningen with 14 points each, followed by Olson with 13 and 11 from Kaitlynn Scherr. St. John was led by Natalie DeCouteau with 10 points.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Tournament Time is nearing its end As we write this week, we are about to head out on March 5 and cover the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Lady Cardinals at the State B Tournament in Grand Forks. The Lady Cards won their third straight Region 4 title with three absolute dominant performances in Devils Lake. The Cardinals were hoping to finally get into the semifinal round of the state tourney for the first time in three tries. This year Cards were the top overall seed at state, and they played HettingerScranton on March 5 in the opening round. Congrats to the Lady Cards Callie Ronningen on being named Region 4 Senior Athlete of the Year, and Rob Scherr winning Region 4 Coach of the Year. It's almost criminal that only Ronningen made the All-Region 4 team. The Cardinals are unbeaten at 24-0 this year, and it certainly hasn't been a one girl show, as Callie would be the first to tell you. Not sure who does the voting for these postseason awards, but they must not have seen the Lady Cards play. Also the in first weekend of March the Langdon Blades girls and boys teams are in their end of the season tourneys in Sidney, MT for the boys and Watford City for the girls. As we said last week both teams are seeded third in each tournament and we wish them the best of luck.

Cardinals boys basketball team stopped just short of Dist. 8 title; Look forward to Region 4 Tourney

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals boys basketball season is having their best season in over 10 years, but they just missed one of their many goals this year, and that was a District 8 Tournament title.

The Cards were seeded first in the tourney for the first time since the mid 2000's, and they just missed a district crown losing to a very good St. John team 71-64 in the championship. It's not over for the Cardinals however, as they will now play in the Region 4 Tournament to be held in Devils Lake March 9-12.

The Cards will play Benson County in the first round on March 9 at 4:30pm. The Wildcats are coached

by Langdon graduate and Hannah native Dan Treleaven. This will be one of the most competitive region tourneys in quite awhile, and you can find a complete bracket in this weeks Republican.

North Border and Cavalier to meet in the Region 2 boys first round for the first time ever As the Region 4 Tourney start March 9 in Devils Lake, the Region 2 Boys Basketball Tournament will begin on the same day in Grand Forks. A little bit of history will be made, as North Border and Cavalier each won play-in game to the tournament, and will now play each other in the first round at 4:30pm.

From what we have able to gather, this is the first time the Eagles and Tornadoes have ever met in the first round of the tourney. This should make for quite the atmosphere in Grand Forks, as North Border has won two close games in their two meetings in the regular season. It should a crazy good round three at the "Betty".

"See ya!" next week!

GIRLS HOCKEY

Blades girls finish out regluar season with two wins in Grand Forks

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Blades girls hockey team completed their regular season with two non-conference games in Grand Forks against one of their 14U teams. Langdon played very well in both contests, winning 9-2 and 8-2. The Blades then headed to their end of the year State Tournament at Watford City which is being held March 6-8.

In game one of their two game series at Grand Forks, the Blades scored two goals in the first period from Abby Forest and Alexa Schneider. Langdon passed well to set up those scores as Lizzie Muhs, McKenna Schneider, Emma Field and Muhs again all got assists. Leading 2-1 going into the second, the Blades struck for four goals, two

by Savannah Ullyott and one each

from Fores and Jessi Gellner. Getting assists on the scoring run were two from Forest and one from Field, Alexa Schneider and Taryn Romfo.

Forest and Alexa Schneider completed a big day with each scoring hat tricks in third period. Jaelynn Buckman got the win in the net with 16 saves.

In the second game of the two game set, Field got the team going with two early goals on two assists from Alexa Schneider and one from Gellner. Field got a hat trick with two more goals in the second, and Forest scored on goal in the second period and one in the third. Schneider would get a playmaker with another assist plus two from Ullyott, with her last one coming on a goal

by Muhs. Buckman would come up with 22 saves in the second win.

McKenna Belle and Arianna Haraseth also go assists in the win.

subbed in for the Cardinals and played some quality minutes in the game, which was also big key to the victory.

The third quarter began with a 12-5 Cardinals run to put the game away. as Morgan Freije, who miraculously played the whole tournament despite have appendix surgery just one week before, had five points in the third frame. The aggressive, rough play of the Indians caught up to them down the stretch as they had three of their starters foul out, including District 7 Senior Athlete of the Year Latasha Bellile.

Ronningen led the all scorers with 21 points, followed by Freije with 15 and Lexi Olson with nine.

But again defense was the name of the game for the Cardinals, as they had 18 steals and forced 33 Indians turnovers. Ronningen led the team with five assists. Mahpyia Jackson had 15 points as the only player in double figures for FW-M. The Lady Cards shot a sizzling 57 percent from the field for the game. They also held the Indians, who can be deadly shooting 3-pointers, to just 1 of 6 from beyond the arc.

Here is a recap of their two games at the district tourney: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 83, North Star 61 In their first game of the tournament the Cardinals faced the young Bearcats, who won a first round game over Rolla 76-47. North Star does not have a senior on their roster this year, and they played the Cardinals tough out of the gate.

After leading just 18-14 after the first quarter, the Cards broke open a 26 all tie midway through the second, going on a 13-2 run to lead at the half 39-28. Jackson Delvo and Grant Romfo were on fire from the field in the first half, with Delvo netting 15 points and Romfo 14.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich went on a 13-4 run to start the second half and put the game away. Grant Romfo stayed hot, going over 1,000 points with a two-point basket early in the third quarter and scoring a career high 33 points for the game.

Ordale Morstad had 11 first half points.

But after the Cards tied the game at 51 on a Simon Romfo free throw early in the fourth, Langdon-Edmore-Munich uncharacteristically had four unforced turnovers in a row which allowed Dunn to come alive and score eight fourth quarter points for the Woodchucks. They got the lead back and never let it go, going 10 for 11 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.

Despite the loss, the Cardinals had four players reach double figures: Grant Romfo with 15 points, 14 each from Morstad and Jackson Delvo plus 12 by Simon Romfo.

Grant Romfo also had a team high seven rebounds. Brad Defender led the Woodchucks with 20 points, and Dunn had 19 points and seven rebounds. A key stat in the game was that the Cards had 17 turnovers which St. John turned into 21 points, while they turned the ball over just seven times.

N.D. 4-H Camp Offers Something for Everyone

Youth are going swimming at the North Dakota 4-H Camp near Washburn, N.D. (NDSU photo) The camps give youth opportunities to learn new skills while having fun.

Youth ages 8 to 18 will have an opportunity to learn new skills while having fun at the North Dakota 4-H Camp this summer.

The fully modern camp is on 80 acres nestled in the cottonwoods along the Missouri River near Washburn, N.D. The facility was updated in 2013 and an outdoor education building was added in 2018. The cabins and other facilities are airconditioned.

“The North Dakota 4-H Camp has been committed to providing a safe environment where youth build new friendships, master new skills, and gain independence and confidence for more than 50 years,” says Karla Meikle, North Dakota State University Extension’s 4-H youth development agent in Morton County. 4-H is an NDSU Extension program.

The 4-H Camp program is staffed

by NDSU Extension agents, state specialists and volunteers who are experts in their field. They design the camps to provide campers with a solid foundation of knowledge and experience to strengthen their abilities.

The camp also has counselors who care for campers, monitor camp chores and conduct the recreational activities. All camp staff strive to be mentors and positive role models for the campers.

A variety of camps are offered every summer. They include special-

topic camps, such as the Livestock Camp and Hardcore Archery Camp, which have a hands-on educational component. The Livestock Camp teaches youth to improve their animal care, handling and show skills, Hardcore Archery Camp is three days of intense archery activities designed to improve practice and shooting skills.

Other camps, such as the Adventure Camps, are packed with a variety of content and fun hands-on activities such as robotics, rocketry, shooting sports, crafts and cooking.

Other 4-H camp experiences include fishing, flying drones, caring for small animals, geocaching, learning about soils and woodworking.

“These provide youth with a perfect opportunity to try out a new interest,” says Lindsey Leker, NDSU Extension’s 4-H youth development science specialist.

The Outdoor Skills, Whopper Club Fish Camp and Survivor Outdoor Recreation camps are very popular camps. The Whopper Club Fish Camp is for youth who want a fishing experience to better their understanding of equipment, fish biology and techniques. Survivor Outdoor Recreation Camp teaches teamwork and problem solving, with tribes competing in challenges for the coveted immunity idol and special privileges.

Two new camps are being offered this year: Energy Camp and Entrepreneurship Camp. Campers in the Energy Camp will spend a week learning about energy science and job opportunities in that field, interacting with North Dakota energy leaders and taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour energy assets across western North Dakota.

Campers in the Entrepreneurship Camp will experience how entrepreneurs innovate, think creatively, build teams, collaborate and develop the skills necessary to pitch a new product or service.

A Tale of Two Books…..

Reading Bingo starts with a sheet giving 25 options which might lead you to a new reading adventure.

One of those options is “Read a book that has been on your shelf for over a year.” If the book has been on my shelf that long (or much longer) it is often a gift from childhood that I

just could not part with. However, with basketball in full swing, there on a bottom shelf of the bookcase was an old copy of Miss Hoopster from 2004. It is edited by a North Dakota author (Don Hanson), is set in the past or future, based on a true story (or many true stories) and should qualify as a book in a series. The librarian approved it as falling into any one of those categories. That book was full of pictures and information about a team from Langdon who would go on to win the State Class B Girls Basketball

Langdon Long Ago

title in the spring of 2005. It also had a great section on Katie Lorenz who was then playing NDSU Basketball with Amanda Girodat and, I believe, Leah Klabo. Their team had several pages of pictures and stories.

After mentioning the information in that first book, other books were loaned to me and led to reading more recent copies of both Hoopster and Miss Hoopster. In the process there was a lot of information on players who did return to play in other state champion-

ships but never quite made it to having their pictures on the front cover. In memory, I knew there should be copies around of the year Munich’s girls won that crown and was positive that the 1992 Hoopster had featured the Munich Boys Basketball team. But those volumes did not turn up on my shelves or in a search at the Cavalier County Library. It could be that the ones I remembered seeing might have been given to the museum collection at Dresden or had worn out over the years.

Noticing something that was missing in newer volumes of the publications, I sent a note to the present editor to ask if this was an oversight or an error. He phoned to say thank you because they do depend on readers to catch errors.

As we visited, he asked about both present team members and those from the past including the Langdon girls’ team that won the state in 2005. Where were those girls today? I could tell him some are right here today, but I had not been able to find a copy of the book that had their picture on the cover. The 2004-2005 issue featured Mandan for Class A and Larimore for Class B. If he could find a copy of the year with the winning Langdon team on the cover, would I like it? Of course.

Not only would it be a good local souvenir but there was a spot on the Reading Bingo labelled “Read a book because of the cover.” A few days later an e-mail mentioned they had found the 2005-2006 issue and gave me the current price plus shipping which has gone up over the years.

A few days later I was late getting to the post office for mail, and they held the window open just long enough for me to claim the package with the book! The next stop was the grocery store for supper needs and then home to yet another basketball game or maybe two on different stations. Sorry to say, I do not know who won the games that evening because I was busy reading the book and trying to remember the players on the winning team.

Around 9 p.m. it is possible I might have taken a supper break.

The cover picture features another Mandan team for Class A and below them is the Langdon team in cardinal and white uniforms. In the front row are five girls in different uniforms holding the ball and displaying the trophy. Those girls are the cheerleaders of that era: Victoria Klingbeil, Aggie Ottem, Amy Halzle, Amber Sperling and Katie Everson. Behind the cheerleaders are a kneeling row of team members: Janae Klindt, Kay Krahn, Haley Breyer, Brittany Bowles, Taylor Hart, Julie Baird and Megan Ratzlaff. The middle row includes Taryn Otto, Christy Schauer, Andrea Olson, Briana Stremick, Justine Stremick, Sarah Mack, Janelle Mostad, and Jill Stremick. Pictured in the back row are: Kelby Flaten (stat), Susan Fay Crockett (cheer squad coach), Coach Larry Platz, Coach Keith Lorenz, Coach Gary Schauer, Coach David Hart, Danielle Veer and Laci Samuelson (stats).

My knowledge of married names is limited but readers who know the girls will probably be able to fill in any missing information. Victoria (now Trout) works in Minot, and I believe her husband farms at Sherwood. Amber, now Benoit, works in Langdon and heads some of the Northern Lights Arts Council functions. Janae Klindt has her Pharmacy degree, is married and a

druggist in Pembina County. Kay Krahn was working with basketball and may still play for fun. She lives in Kansas City. Brittany Bowles Feil has been teaching and coaching at the Langdon School, is married and has three children. Julie Baird lives in Grafton and has two little girls. Megan Ratzlaff Overby is a Nurse Practitioner at the Langdon Clinic. It is possible I have confused Andrea Olson with another family member, but I think she has also had a medical career and might be living in South Dakota. Briana Stremick is a West Point graduate and currently teaches there after deployments to other parts of the world. Justine Stremick went on to play volleyball for Notre Dame and then joined the army where she is a medical doctor with similar worldwide assignments. For fun Justine plays on a National volleyball team.

Both twins are married. Briana lives near West Point and Justine in Tacoma, WA. Sarah Mack, now Overby, lives in Langdon, has two children and if you need financial advice you can find her at the Thrivent office on Main Street. Janelle Mostad is married, the mother of twins, and there is a memory she works with hearing impaired. Janelle and her family live in the Duluth area. For those in the back row you might still find Susan Fay Crockett, Keith Lorenz and David Hart right in Langdon.

Danielle Veer is a nurse in the Minneapolis area, and I believe Laci Samuelson also has a medical career. Larry Platz and his family relocated to Minot but visit from time to time, and the Schauer family moved to southern North Dakota where they had relatives.

An interesting comment on their championship game was that the current Hoopster editor thought they might have played Bottineau and that sounded like a good possibility. Langdon teams do often play Bottineau. But the newspaper story from the Minot Daily News is titled “Standing Tall” and gives the 48-41 win to Langdon over Mohall-Lansford-Sherwood because “their team was so tall!” Taryn Otto at 5’7” was high scorer for the Langdon team with 14 points. Only the Stremick twins reached the 6 foot mark and several of the others were meeting the M-L-S Mavericks eye to eye, but the Cardinals won with high marks for their defensive play. Bottineau appears to have won the next year, and it could be they were also in the mix during the 2005 tournament which that year was held at Jamestown.

The Langdon story in the book that shows them on the cover is sandwiched between stories about Rolla with Danielle Guilbert (a legendary player for their team) and Starkweather-Munich with newcomers Brittany Wirth (6’1”) and Kallyn Klein (5’9”) moving up to follow a strong team who would graduate in 2006. At that point in time Karla Beck from Munich was playing for UND and getting rare reviews from Marilyn Hagerty.

Because both Langdon and Munich had strong basketball and volleyball teams before they began the co-op relationship where they have continued to be a force to be reckoned with year after year, it is easy to confuse some of their accomplishments. It is also confusing to try to search for their records when school and sport boundaries change so frequently. Reading about them has been fun, but I really do not want to give the books away – yet.
