Mehlhoff continued explaining the challenges that research centers face in growing seed for producers as they compete with private seed companies. It takes ten years to create a new variety, and at that point the seed is distributed to local county crop improvement as it's the local board that knows those individuals that are very successful at growing seed. The local crop improvement is able to sell that seed as registered and then cer-

Langdon City Commission hears complaints - holds special meeting The Langdon City Commission met to conduct business on Monday, July 22. Following their regular meeting, the Commission adjourned to the public information meeting held at the NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center. During the regular meeting the Commission heard department updates followed by Andrew Aakre of Moore Engineering giving updates on the progress of work for Phase I and II. Aakre informed the commissioners that the paving of the streets replaced during Phase I has been completed. There is still a final review of the work to be completed, and as a result of the pavement being laid later than planned, there will be liquidated damages of a yet to be determined amount. Aakre went over the progress of Phase II. Recently, a regrouping meeting was held where the contractor expressed some concern on being able to finish the project on time. It was explained that there had been a few hiccups with the construction crews coming across unknown pipes and concrete structure that had to be addressed, using valuable time and resources. Langdon city resident Stanley Gendreau addressed the commissionees concerning the state of a property owned by Alex Chaput located near his own. Gendreau expressed his frustration to the Commission about the condition of the property and lack of care or concern exhibited by the property owner. Gendreau stated that despite contacting the owner, the property is left in disrepair, and he considers it to be a hazard to the community. “That’s terrible, I’m sorry to get upset, but that’s how I feel,”Gendreau said in closing.
The Commission explained that they are working with Chaput on finding a way to have the property taken care of, but that legally, these things take time. The city has contacted the North Dakota Department of Health to inspect the property as a potential health hazard. The commissioners briefly touched on the damage and clean up required following Dennis Luhmann’s workers putting asphalt down a manhole. The city will not be financially responsible for this nor will the city be responsible for any work done by Luhmann without the city’s review and consent prior to the work being done. The bids for the city hall renovation were opened. The Commission received two bids, one from a contractor in Fargo and another from Walhalla Building Center. The commissioners accepted the bid from the Walhalla Building Center as it was lower and also more locally involved. The Commission adjourned and relocated to the LREC for the public meeting seeking input from the community on concerns and suggestions for possible upcoming projects. Aakre reviewed the reasons for the previous and current projects showcasing the failing infrastructure beneath the equally failing city streets. Over the course of the presentation, Aakre explained the scope of the improvements that will be made to the infrastructure and streets that were in the most advanced stages of failure. During the Phase I project, the focus was on addressing the wastewater lagoon operational challenges, specifically 1, 3, and 4 have been rehabilitated. The condition of the city’s sewer and water distribution
system was discovered following the televising of the systems in 2017. Condition depended on the material of the pipes, and while many of the pipes were cast iron and nearing the end of their life, other pipes were composed of clay or concrete. These pipes showed extensive cracking and misalignment. The focus of Phase I and II was to address the areas of the city that could not wait to be repaired. The projects will improve the storm sewer drainage on 12th Avenue. The projects will also replace and deepen the sanitary sewer and water mains; reduce the number of sewer lift stations, specifically from 5th Street; and address the common occurrence of freezing where pipes were laid too shallow. Aakre reviewed the financing options that were pursued to fund these projects. The USDA Rural Development fund has been utilized for the two phases. “I think this meeting tonight was very informative for the public, and we got really good feedback,” Langdon City Commission Chair Jerry Nowatzki said. Of the topics raised over the course of Aakre’s presentation, Nowatzki felt that it was good for the public to understand the cost involved with the projects and the need for the work done on the underground infrastructure to be completed before the city tackles the decaying streets. “One of the biggest hurdles now is just to find money to continue what we would consider to be Phase III and Phase IV,” Nowatzki shared. For Aakre, the meeting provided valuable feedback on the projects- from comments on sidewalk work on city-owned property that need work to drain-
Cavalier County Commission discusses social services merge The Cavalier County Commission had a lot of business to discuss at their most recent meeting. Following a meeting of the social services steering committee composed of one commissioner from each county, the three auditors and the two social services directors, Commissioner Stanley Dick conveyed what had been agreed to. Dick shared that the he had stated that Cavalier County would provide a definitive answer on being host county or not by September 1. Dick also explained that the zonal board had proposed to be composed of one commissioner and one resident at large of each county. Dick shared that the steering committee had decided to include a district representative on the zonal board as well, selecting Janne Myrdal. One stipulation that Dick stated had been proposed that whoever the host

county ended up being would be allowed one additional person on the zonal board. Cavalier County Social Services Director Jill Denault presented her updates on the social service redesign sharing that the state had figures for what Cavalier County’s indirect costs could end up being. Denault also stated that the questioned replacement of the roof of the social services building had been approved and that the funding for the Domestic Violence and Abuse Center was considered a direct cost and, therefore, fully funded. Mark Zimmer requested, on behalf of the City of Munich, to enter into a police contract with the Cavalier County Sheriff's Department. Zimmer stated that Munich would like to have a deputy to enforce the city’s ordinances and the district court to prosecute. Cassey Breyer was
present and discussed the contracts along with Cavalier County Sheriff Greg Fetsch. The contracts will be worked out and an agreement decided later. In Other Business • The commissioners heard department updates from the clerk of court, treasurer, and tax director’s office. • The Commission met with Cavalier County HR Officer Crystal Beggs to review the pay schedule Beggs had compiled as requested by the commissioners. • NDSU Extension Agent Anitha Chirumamilla met with the Commission to further discuss the open position within her office. • Jeff Schneider of T.R. Waind explained the process that will occur as NDIRF takes over the county's fire, wind, and tornado policy.

Moore Engineering will continue to pursue funding for the improvement of Langdon’s infrastructure. There are a number of underground improvements that still need to be made, but it will take some time as funding is pursued. Aakre explained that the best thing residents can do at this time is to share their comments and concerns with the commissioners as they work to decide how best to proceed.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Local events are important Measuring the vibrancy of a community can be challenging. What are the parameters? What are the tools of measurement? These are questions that are hard to answer. I do have one idea. Besides the life that can be found on Main Street during a weekday is the attendance of community events. Case in point: Music Fest. This year’s Music Fest was certainly a reflection of the current age range of Langdon. During the day, the inflatables located on Main Street brought in many families. The street was packed with children running and enjoying the fun that bouncy houses provided them. Adults that did not have a vested interest in the unleashed children of the area could stay a safe distance away and enjoy the truly beautiful weather in other ways. The Rod Run car show had a vast assortment of mechanical beauty to enjoy. Those who enjoy shopping and shade could do so as Main Street hosted a sidewalk Christmas in July sale. Hopefully, the favored purveryors of goods had a successful day. I was stuck at the inflatables losing one of the kids charged to my care every five minutes. There were food trucks for when the attendees became hungry, and
Brewed Creations rose again to provide the community with its amazing cold brew coffee drinks- a drink that I was a repeat customer for as my day wore on and the unavoidable melt downs occurred. Langdon’s vibrancy was on display during the day. When night fell, however, it was a whole different story. For first time since living in Langdon, I was able to attend the music part that gives its name to the event. It was an interesting experience. My expectation was for an experience like earlier in the day where there was a person everywhere you looked with little space to manuever and a choregraphed dance to move around each other. The evening festivites did not have that problem. Local events like Music Fest take time and effort by many to make it happen. From gathering the sponsors for this and getting the vendors for that, it takes a lot of work. The bands that played were good and played to a crowd that seemed glad to have them there. As rural towns seek ways to stay vibrant and attractive to the outside world, the communities within them need to appreciate the efforts their neighbors make to bring what fun can be had to the town.

ND PUBLIC NOTICES just got more
By Marvin Baker
Topsy turvy North Dakota... A subscriber sent a CD ROM of several years of the Donnybrook Courier. This was a newspaper in Ward County that circulated from 1901 to 1942. There were a lot of small-town newspapers just like it that have all but been forgotten except that the North Dakota State Historical Society keeps most of them on microfilm. If you have the time and historical curiosity, you could get lost in that library. Keep in mind that when the Donnybrook Courier began, there was no radio, TV or Internet so the newspaper was the only means of mass communication. Thus, many communities in North Dakota, including Donnybrook, had more than one newspaper for a time to reach the masses. In this case, the Courier and the Donnybrook Mirror both published in this community of less than 300 in 1904. The Mirror ceased that same year. Can you imagine a community of 297 with competing newspapers? We sometimes think of larger communities like Rugby, Langdon or Lisbon with more than one newspaper before commercial radio became a reality in North Dakota in 1922. Today there are nine newspapers in the state operating in communities of less than 300 people. The most impressive is the Litchville Bulletin. It’s not an official county newspaper and operates in a community of

Since the late 1990’s, the drug crisis has surged forward, leaving epic devastation in its wake. Now, more than ever, it’s important that literally everyone out there knows

172 people. Back to the Courier: I took particular interest in some of the 1910 editions. That was the first year the census indicated a population for Donnybrook, but it was also the year of Halley’s Comet, and I wanted to see if the Courier carried any articles about it. No such luck! It’s as if the comet didn’t happen, even though it was clearly visible to the naked eye in April and May of 1910. But I ran across an article in the Sept. 16, 1910, edition of the Courier that was incredibly interesting. It was about public school populations across the state. It wasn’t so much an article as it was a graph of statistics about school populations. First of all, Fargo Public Schools didn’t have the highest school population back then, Grand Forks did. Grand Forks had 3,683 students, and Fargo had 3,504. Minot had the third highest with 1,377, Jamestown was next with 1,307, Dickinson had 1,298 and Bismarck fell into sixth place with 1,007, beating out Valley City by one student. Eight, nine and 10 were Devils Lake, Grafton and Mandan. The second 10 were equally as interesting because most of the schools today aren’t even close to where they were in 1910. As an example, in 11th place was Wahpeton at 705. It was followed by Williston with 603. As a side note, Williston voters turned down a bond issue to expand the school because the district now has nearly 4,500 students. What was surprising was Kenmare in 13th place with 592, just 11 fewer public school students than Williston. Cando, Hankinson, Harvey
Dear Editor
how to spot the signs and symptoms of drug abuse. Right now, 1 out of 2 people struggles with some sort of drug issue; a figure staggering it of itself. The more the public understands how to identify drug abuse, the more the public can finally stand up and do something about it. For more information on how to
and Bottineau followed Kenmare, in that order. Park River was 18th with 448 kids and Langdon came in 19th with 446 students. The 20th spot belonged to Lidgerwood with 427. Casselton and Carrington completed the list with 416 and 404, respectively. County statistics were also considered. Cass County had more than 9,000 students, followed by Grand Forks, Walsh, Morton, Ward and Richland. Oliver County had the lowest school population in the state with 276. Today, most of those numbers are completely turned around. Fargo, of course, leads the state, but Bismarck is second and Grand Forks is third. Walsh County is no longer on the radar and Morton County now has more public school kids than Fargo did back then. A couple more interesting statistics to keep in mind: In 1910 Watford City didn’t exist. It was founded in 1914. Today, it is the 12th largest city in North Dakota and Watford City High School, alone, has 550 students, with about as many in the elementary and middle school. Also in 1910, Christian schools didn’t exist as we know them today, but Fargo Oak Grove, Shiloh Christian, Bismarck, Our Redeemer’s, Minot and Dickinson Trinity are four that quickly come to mind. Back in the 1960s, there were a lot of Catholic schools in most small towns across the state, and nearly all of them are gone now except Bismarck St. Mary’s, Fargo Shanley and Minot Ryan being three that come to mind, all of them holding their own.

NDSU Langdon Research Extension Director Randy Mehlhoff showcases the variety of foundation seed available. Mehlhoff explained how the research centers build up foundation seed stock to sell to area producers during the LREC Field Day held on July 18.
“Do you know what that is?” I asked. My intern Larissa and I were strolling through a grocery store gathering her ingredients. “That’s a pitaya,” she replied without hesitation. I kind of expected she would know because the fruit is common in South and Central America. My summer intern is from Brazil. I wish she would have been around when I bought a pitaya, or “dragon fruit,” for the first time a couple of years ago. We had several grocery store workers trying to figure out the name of this bright pink and green fruit that looks like a psychedelic artichoke. It has a white center with lots of tiny black seeds and tastes somewhat like a kiwi. They couldn’t find the fruit in the online system, so they just made up a price. At the time, I also had a mob of people with full grocery carts waiting for me to get through the checkout line. They looked a little impatient. My intern spent three weeks working with us in Extension, helping with a variety of nutrition education projects. She was especially amazed by how organized everything is in the U.S., including traffic. I guess I shouldn’t complain about driving anymore. She spoke Portuguese and Eng-
Canning food properly is vital Don’t invite botulism to your dinner table. Botulism is a deadly form of food poisoning. The toxin, or poison, causing the illness commonly is associated with improperly processed home-canned vegetables, such as peas, peppers, corn, lima beans, green beans and mushrooms, as well as other low-acid foods that are canned at home, including soups, meats, fish and poultry. If canned food isn’t processed properly, spores of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum aren’t killed. Even a taste of contaminated food can make a person sick or worse. Symptoms of botulism include blurred or double vision, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, stomachache and diarrhea. The symptoms usually start to appear 18 to 36 hours after eating food containing the toxin. Botulism is treatable if the victim receives prompt medical care. Without treatment, the illness causes paralysis that starts with the head and moves to the arms and legs and can cause death, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. “We’re entering the heart of home canning season, so it’s critical to use up-to-date equipment and research-tested methods,” says Julie Garden-Robinson, North Dakota State University Extension food and nutrition specialist. “I’ve noticed that many people are unaware that home-canned tomatoes need to be acidified with lemon juice or citric acid and properly processed to be safe. I’ve also heard about people following questionable advice found on the internet.” Use Proper Canning Equipment Besides high-quality ingredients, the proper equipment for safely canning low-acid foods such as vegetables, meat and many mixtures of foods includes a pressure canner and standard canning jars with new two-piece lids. “If you are tempted to can foods in your oven because you heard about it on Facebook or Pinterest, don’t do it,” Garden-Robinson cautions. “It’s dangerous on many lev-
els, including jar breakage and improper heat penetration for safety. “You may be seeing late-night infomercials that suggest canning in electric multi-cookers,” she adds. “However, the National Center for Home Food Preservation does not support the use of U.S. Department of Agriculture canning processes in these appliances, even if they have ‘canning’ buttons on the front panels.” The USDA methods were not developed for these types of appliances, she notes. The USDA methods were developed for stovetop canners, and the recommendations must be followed for safety. Foods such as salsa, which is a mix of acid and low-acid ingredients, need to be acidified properly with lemon juice or vinegar using a tested formula and processed according to current recommendations. “If you have a favorite salsa recipe that has not been research-tested, it’s safest to freeze it rather than can it,” Garden-Robinson says. “If you use a commercial salsa mix, follow the directions closely. Do not add extra onions and peppers because those ingredients will affect the acidity and the safety of the canned food.” Prepare Canning Lids Correctly Garden-Robinson also recommends home canners be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for preparing the canning lids. Boiling the lids when they are not meant to be boiled can result in jars that unseal in your cupboard. Food containing the botulism toxin generally doesn’t taste or look unusual, although the lids on commercial cans may provide a clue that the food is contaminated. Garden-Robinson recommends throwing away any commercial cans that are swollen or bulging and food from glass jars with bulging lids. You also shouldn’t taste food from swollen containers or food that is foamy or smells bad. But even properly processed canned foods won’t last forever. For example, cans and metal lids on glass jars can rust. Remove the

metal lids from home-canned foods after the jars have sealed and cooled at least 24 hours before storing them. Storage Tips Light may cause food in glass jars to change color and lose nutrients. Temperatures above 100 F also can cause food to spoil. The acid in foods such as tomatoes and fruit juices can cause commercial cans to corrode. Here is some advice for storing canned foods, including home- and commercially canned foods: • Store canned foods in a cool, clean, dry place where temperatures are below 85 degrees. Temperatures in the 60- to 70-degree range are ideal. • Use home-canned foods within one year for best quality. • Store commercially canned low-acid foods (such as green beans and peas) in a cupboard for up to five years, according to the USDA. • Use high-acid commercially canned foods (such as tomatobased products) within 12 to 18 months. Foods stored longer will be safe to eat if they show no signs of spoilage and the cans don’t appear to be damaged, but the food’s color, flavor and nutritive value may have deteriorated. Visit NDSU Extension’s newly updated food preservation website at https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food for the latest guidelines on canning, freezing, drying and pickling foods. Contact your local Extension office for more information about safely preserving a variety of foods.

lish. I learned one Portuguese word. However, knowing how to say “hello” didn’t help me understand what ingredients she was seeking. We found similar ingredients to make a Brazilian dessert, “brigadeiros,” which consists of sweetened condensed milk, cocoa, butter and chocolate sprinkles. We found ingredients for “feijoada,” a Brazilian national dish made with black beans, pork or beef and sausage, and served with rice, orange slices and other sides. You can find recipes for both on https://www.allrecipes.com. We criss-crossed the store trying to locate similar items to what she needed. I think we became the talk of the store with all of our questions we had for the patient workers. In fact, one of the workers asked us if we were buying food for a local concert venue. I guess the musicians have very particular tastes. I told them we were converting some Brazilian recipes to use American ingredients. They probably never had heard of that request, either. We had many bags of beans in our cart. As I learned from my own trip to Central America a few years ago, people in South and Central America eat a lot of beans. Brazil produces and consumes more beans than anywhere. They eat about 33 pounds per person per year, often paired with rice. In the U.S., we eat about 6.5 pounds of all types of dry beans per year. We would do ourselves a favor if we ate more beans, such as pinto, navy and black beans. They are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, low in fat and high in protein. Their unique nutritional profile makes them heart-healthy, and they may reduce our risk of certain types of cancer. Beans and rice historically are paired for nutritional and culinary reasons; they are complementary proteins. Rice provides the sulfur amino acids (protein building blocks) methionine and cysteine, which beans don’t have. Beans contain the amino acid lysine that rice lacks. Beans are available in canned, dry and other forms. Give dry beans a chance with these steps: 1. Inspect the dry beans, removing any broken beans or foreign materials. 2. Rinse the beans thoroughly in cold water.
3. Soak the beans using the preferred method. Add 10 cups of cold water to the pot for each pound (2 cups) of beans. Bring the water to a boil, then boil for one to three minutes. Remove from heat and cover the pot. Let stand. A four-hour soak is ideal for high-quality beans. On average, 2 cups of dry beans yields 6 cups of cooked beans. 4. Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Draining and rinsing the beans helps remove natural sugars that may cause intestinal gas. 5. Cook the beans. Add fresh, cold water to cover the beans. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil if you wish. Adding oil helps prevent foaming and boiling over. Heat to boiling, then reduce the heat to simmer gently until the beans are tender. Cooking times vary with the type, size and age of the beans, but generally cooking takes one to two hours. While the beans are cooking, add more water if necessary to keep them covered. You should be able to mash the cooked beans easily between two fingers or with a fork. Alternatively, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines if you have a pressure cooker. Here’s the traditional and delicious recipe that Larissa made for us. Check out the consumer education information at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/food/bean-resources-1 to learn more reasons to eat beans and a lot of bean recipes to try, including desserts. Traditional Brazilian Beans 9 ounces pinto beans, uncooked 2 bay leaves 3 1/2 ounces bacon, chopped 4 garlic cloves, chopped 5 ounces Kielbasa sausage, sliced 1 onion (small), chopped Salt (to taste) After sorting and rinsing the beans, soak them in water for 24 hours in the fridge (traditional method) or follow the quick-soak method. Drain and cook beans on the stove until softened. Add more water if necessary to keep them covered. In a pan, saute garlic, onion, bacon and sausage. Drain fat. Mix together all ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Makes 10 servings.

Obituaries James (Jim) E. Kram
Funeral Services were held on Wednesday, July 24, 2019, at the Gilbertson Funeral Home Chapel, Devils Lake for James (Jim) E. Kram, 53, formerly of Langdon and of Devils Lake, who died unexpectedly at his home. James was laid to rest at the Calvary Cemetery in Langdon. James Edward Kram was born on December 15, 1965, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Langdon, son of Veronica (Delvo) and Rudolph Kram. He was baptized and a member of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. He grew up and attended school in Langdon. In 1996, he moved to
Devils Lake and would call it home until the time of death. Upon his move to Devils Lake, he began employment with the City of Devils Lake Sanitation Department in the recycling area and later transitioned to join the guys on the sanitation truck. He was proud to be on the route and ride in the truck, always sitting in the middle seat. One to never be idle, he developed a route to help local businesses with hauling their cardboard to the recycling center, would do various odd jobs such as snow shoveling or mowing lawns, and was always willing to lend a helping hand or volunteer when the opportunity arose without asking for a dime. He worked like he was the highest paid person on the job. A proud moment in his life was when he received the Un-
sung Hero Award in November of 2006. He was active throughout the Devils Lake community, especially the Relay for Life with the City Fire Department team, the Annual Volunteer Fire Department Fishing Tournament, and the South Forty Mud Runs. He volunteered for over 16 years at the Dakota Boys Ranch. He enjoyed participating in the 4th of July parade, REM picnics and holiday parties, gardening, model cars and collecting “stuff” that he knew could be useful in some way or another. He joined a tour group on several vacation trips throughout the United States. Some of the most memorable trips were to the NASCAR races in Phoenix, Grand Old Opry in Nashville and an Alaskan cruise. He enjoyed spending time with friends and getting to-

Ida Mae Overmoe
Funeral Services were held Friday, July 26, 2019 at Riverside Evangelical Free Church in Mayville for Ida Mae Overmoe, age 86, died Monday, July 22, 2019, at Bethany on University in Fargo. Burial will be in the Aal Cemetery in Hillsboro. Ida was the youngest child of Theodore J. and Pauline (Fleischmann) Vleck, she was born on January 14, 1933 on the family farm in Easby Township, Cavalier County. Her father instilled in her a love for memorizing poetry and throughout her life she could readily quote poems and Bible verses. Following graduation from Osnabrock High School in 1951, she attended Wessington Springs (SD) College for two years and received her teaching certificate. Between 1953 and 1957 she taught early elementary students in Alsen, Edinburg and Hillsboro. She especially enjoyed teaching children how to read. She married Leonard Overmoe on November 15, 1957 in Grand Forks. They made their home in rural Hillsboro where they raised their family and farmed. She was a talented piano player, a gift she freely shared with others throughout her life in school, church, and amongst family and friends. She taught many of her children and grandchildren how

to play piano. At a young age, she committed her life to Jesus Christ. Her love for the Lord was a foundation in her life. She taught Sunday School, was always willing to help others, and volunteered with a variety of organizations, including Valley I Believe In Life, Child Evangelism, and hospice care. Leonard died in 1992 and a few years later she moved to Mayville. Later, she lived at Parkwood Place in Grand Forks, before moving to Fargo. In her last years, she bravely battled Alzheimer’s disease. Although her memory steadily declined, she continued to recite poems and Bible verses she learned as a child, played piano for other residents in the nursing home, remained strong in her faith, and demonstrated love for her family and others. Ida Mae is survived by her children: Janice (Kirk) Tingum of Grand Forks; Debra (Dennis) Aaker of Fargo; Gerald (Tracie) Overmoe of Moorhead, Minn.; Daniel (Denise) Overmoe of Mayville; David (Deana) Overmoe of Hawley, Minn.; and Rebecca (Richard) Drewlow of Delano, Minn. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 8 greatgrandchildren, 2 sisters-in-law and a brother-in-law. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, siblings and a granddaughter. Baker Funeral Home of Mayville was in charge of arrangements. Condolences and memories can be shared at www.bakerfuneral.com.

Jesus: the Only Way John 14:1-6 1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. In this passage Jesus is telling His disciples that He will be departing from them soon. He is referring to His betrayal by Judas, His crucifixion at the hands of the people and the Romans, and His ascension to heaven. Also, He is letting the disciples know that it is not their time to follow Him to heaven–yet. However, they will join Him soon enough, and He will have everything ready for them when they arrive. As it often was, the disciples didn’t quite understand, and Thomas makes that clear by his question in verse five. Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” In verse one, Jesus already explained to them what they need to do–believe in Him. Faith in Christ is necessary to be reconciled to God. Faith in Christ is necessary for the forgiveness of sins. Faith in Christ is necessary to spend eternity with God in unending bliss. Faith in Christ is faith in God. I believe that Jesus’ answer to Thomas in verse six is an explanation of His statement in verse one. In essence, Thomas was saying that the disciples didn’t know where Jesus was going. So, how could they rejoin Him if they didn’t know His future location? Thomas was thinking like we do when we go somewhere we’ve never been.
Some people may get out a map and start charting the right roads and the miles to drive on each road. Most of us, at least now-a-days, get out the GPS and plot the course. In reality, Jesus was not talking about a place you can get to by riding a donkey or driving. This was not a place that just anyone could access. He was talking about heaven. He was talking about a Kingdom that would only be filled with redeemed people. Jesus was talking about an eternal existence where there will be no sin, no sorrow, no pain...only joy and righteousness. Jesus was telling Thomas that he already knew the way because the Way is Jesus. The highway to heaven is Jesus Christ. The entrance to the Kingdom of God is Jesus Christ. The gate to redemption and reconciliation with God is Jesus Christ. Believe in Christ and you believe in God. Jesus makes the most exclusive statement of Christianity here in verse six, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” There is no other way to God except through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way to be reconciled to God. Jesus is the only way to be forgiven of all your sins. Jesus is the only way to be declared blameless of sin before God. There is no other religion that teaches the way to God except Christianity. It is not popular in our current cultural climate to say that Jesus is the only way. But, if Jesus said it then it is truth worth repeating. And, if Jesus said it and we believe that He is who He said He is, then it is truth that everyone needs to hear. We should not want anyone to perish but for them to have everlasting life (John 3:16). And, everlasting life, in Jesus’ own words can only be found in Him. If you have any questions, you can reach Kent Pletcher, pastor of First Baptist Church, at pastor@fbclangdon.org.

On July 16, 2019, the State of North Dakota, represented by the Prosecuting Attorney, and the Defendant, Tyson Prescott Dawson, represented by Brian Hardwick, appeared before the Court and the Defendant entered a plea of guilty to Count 1: the charge of Theft taking $1,000 - $10,000, a class C Felony in violation of N.D.C.C. 12.123-02(1).

Brush with the Bunch
Well, it took awhile but after several phone calls and e-mail letters we came up with this photo. Steve from the Mountaineer sent me a picture PDF which I could open but could not retrieve the photo. He then sent it to Brush Bunch member Virginia, who converted the picture to JPG which I could open and use. I am sure this is a bunch of gibberish to some who do not understand computer language. Sometime I wish I didn‘t either. Anyhow, here is the Brush Bunch entry for the July 4th parade held on Saturday the 6th, with over 80 entries. We were one of many. I thought we were #9, but we were way down the list, and that is why we missed taking pictures. Leona was pulling the float on which Sylvia (shown) and Mary Ellen on the far side both were busy “painting“ and tossing candy to the kids and, in some cases, grownups. The flag painting looks great on the float. We had a yard full of relatives and friends, and I never made it downtown- heard it was busy. Joy said the car show went well with a lot of entries. Many enjoyed the root beer floats at the Gallery. We did drive through the park during the volleyball tournament, and it was looking good. All in all - a great weekend. Maybe next year I will be more watchful and get some pictures. Back at the Gorge Gallery we are busy painting, working and enjoying ourselves. Coffee is on every day. Another random thought: accept the fact that some days you‘re the pigeon,and somedays you‘re the statue! God Bless and have a great summer. by Leo Beauchamp
Munich’s blood drive brings in 29 volunteers The Munich community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on July 11 at the Munich Ambulance Building which helped collect a total of 28 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 29 individuals volunteered to donate blood, and 25 individuals were able to donate at the Vitalant blood drive on July 11. A total of three donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Munich Ambulance which sponsored the blood drive, as well as others who assisted the day of the drive- Cynthia Spenst and Gail Wirth. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and
trauma cases. Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region, and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donor rewards program. The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on November 12, 2019. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.

3-PEAT!!! Langdon Eagles once again win Northern League Babe Ruth Tournament
Team advances to State B Tourney in Watford City July 26-30 By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth baseball lost some serious talent from last year's squad that won the State B Babe Ruth Tournament two years ago and took third last season. But this year's younger squad, coached by first-year men Dave Hein, Mark Romfo and Cody Schlittenhard, battled all summer, and they ended up winning the Northern League Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament held in Langdon July 18-20 for the third year in a row. They won three games to win the title, beating Park River 7-5, Nelson County 6-2, and then defeating the Owls again 2-1 in the championship game. The Eagles now advance to the State B Babe Ruth Tournament in Watford City July 26-30. Here is a recap of their three games at regionals to get to the Big Dance: Langdon 7, Park River 5 The Eagles got the second seed in the tournament, which gave them a first round bye. They then took on Park River, 7-5, in a winner's bracket game on July 18. Langdon got the scoring going in the third inning when Markus Kingzett and Mason Romfo both reached base on Park
River errors with Kingzett scoring on another error. Jack Romfo then singled to bring home Mason Romfo and give the team a 2-0 lead. They took that lead into the sixth inning. Kingzett threw four and two thirds innings of scoreless baseball with seven strikeouts before he neared his pitching limit, giving way to Tucker Welsh. Welsh struck out the last batter of the fifth inning but got into trouble with some walks in the sixth coupled by back to back doubles from the Pirates' Sam Hagen and Carter Spoonland. Jack Romfo came on in relief and had some control issues as well but got out of the inning after Park River scored five runs. Things were looking down, but the Eagles came to the plate in the

bottom of the sixth with their hitting shoes on, getting big hits from Kingzett, Welsh, Mason Romfo, and Brady Regner. The big blow was a two run single by Gage Goodman which gave the team back the lead. Jack Romfo made that lead stand up, shutting down the Pirates in the seventh to win the game. Alex Cluchie was beaned on his elbow and did not return to the game. Langdon 6, Nelson County 2 Moving on in the winner's bracket, Langdon faced Nelson County on July 19. The Owls upset topseeded Grafton 17-5 to move on to play the Eagles. After Nelson County got a run on two hits in the first inning, the Eagles got that run right back when Gage Goodman was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Markus Kingzett. Langdon got two more runs in the second inning when Mason Romfo stroked a two out single to left field to bring home Kadyn Hein and Kingzett. The Eagles got the rest of their runs in the third, with Goodman leading off with a base hit plus Dawson Hein and Brady Regner getting on base. That was all followed by a two run single by Kingzett. On the mound Carter Tetrault
was in command most of the way, going the distance and scattering seven hits and striking out four batters in a complete game win.

That game lasted nine innings, with the Owls prevailing 6-5. Langdon got on the board first in the second inning when Markus Kingzett singled to bring Brady Regner across the plate. They got their second run in the third inning when Dawson Hein hit a pop up into shallow center field, but the Owls fielder had to turn his back to the plate to make the catch, which
allowed Mason Romfo to score on a sacrifice fly. Those would be all they would need, but things got dicey in the sixth. Jack Romfo got the start on the hill and threw very well, striking out 11 batters in five and two thirds innings. But he reached his 95 pitch limit and was relived by Kingzett. Nelson County ended up loading the bases and scored a run when Carter Tetrault, who committed an error two batters earlier, made a great catch on a hard hit line drive by Cade Stein to more than make up for it and end the inning. After giving up a lead off single in the seventh, Kingzett retired the Owls in order, highlighted by a great move by Jack Romfo on a ground ball at third base to end the game.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland
Summer Baseball reaches the finish line As we begin this week, we are about to hit the end of July, and that means we are at the end of the summer baseball season. There's great news in that the Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth baseball team has once again won the District 3 Tournament, and they have now advanced to the 2019 State Babe Ruth Tournament in Watford City July 26-30. This is a 3-Peat for the Eagles, as they won the State Title two years ago and took third last year. This years Eagles team is a young bunch with just two 15-year-olds on the squad, But there is a lot of young talent on the team, and they fought through three close games in the District tourney to advance to State. Meanwhile the Langdon Red Sox American Legion Baseball team was playing in their District 5 Tournament in Hatton, which is running July 23-27. We will have full coverage of the Red Sox run in the tournament next week, but we can tell you that they beat Larimore in the opening round 4-2, then lost to Park River 6-0 in a winners bracket game. With that loss their road to a title and a state tournament appearance is going to be a long one but stranger things have happened.
We will report on how they do next week. Glow-Ball Tournament coming Aug. 2 to the Langdon Country Club The next big thing at the Langdon Country Club is happening Aug. 2, which is the annual Glow-Ball Tournament. This is an event for anyone who wants to get involved, and it will tee off at disk. Registration is ongoing at the clubhouse, but you also sign up that evening. They will also have potluck supper involved with it this year. This has been a very fun event for the club, so come out on Aug. 2 and have a great time. The format is a four person scramble. Also a reminder that the Borgen String Tournament is coming to the LCC on Aug. 10, with the Women's City Tourney on Aug. 11. We will talk more about those next week. High School Football and Volleyball practice on the horizon We will leave you with the news that August brings the coming of fall sports. High School football practice for the defending State Champion Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals begins Aug. 12, with their first game coming Aug. 23 at home versus Northern Cass. Volleyball practice we starts on Aug. 19, so we remind all athletes in incoming grades 7-12 that they need to get a physical card before they are allowed to practice. "See ya!" Next week!
Babe Ruth Champions
The Langdon Babe Ruth Eagles are the District 3 Champions for the third year in a row defeating Nelson County in the championship game, 2-1, for the title. They now head to the Babe Ruth State Tournament being held in Watford City on July 26-30. The Eagles first game will be against LaMoure on July 26 at 3 p.m. Pictured back row, l-r: Coach Dave Hein, Alex Cluchie, Kadyn Hein, Mason Romfo, Dawson Hein, Parker Rime, Markus Kingzett, Jack Romfo, Tucker Welsh, Brady Regner, Carter Tetrault and Gage Goodman; front row: Zach Schlittenhard, Kaden Hein, Cole Welsh, Eli Johnson, Nickolas Kingzett, Brayden Schwartz and Jace Rime.

Summer volleyball league
The Langdon Area varsity team (left photo) finished the 2019 Devils Lake summer volleyball league undefeated and placed first in the league tournament on July 17. The league was run by Lake Region State coach Bridgette Greywater and included 16 teams from around the area. The JV team also finished undefeated and won their tournament.
Schill takes first place
Jamie Dietzler and Lance Schill brought the Happy Harry’s WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds to the green flag for their 18-lap main event. Schill quickly proved he was the class of the field as he grabbed the lead on the opening lap and never looked back. A handful of cautions kept the field bunched up, but Schill took off on each and every Evergreen Insurance restart. Behind him, Reise Stenberg and Aaron Blacklance battled for the runner-up spot. Blacklance won the battle as 10th-place starter; Eric Haugland moved into the third in the closing laps. Schill easily cruised to the checkered flag to pick up his second River Cities Speedway win of the season. Photo by Mike Spieker.

Zimmer throws five inning perfect game in 11-0 win over M-M Post 98 Red Sox enter District 5 Tournament as fourth seed
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon 98 Red Sox American Legion Baseball team played their last game of the regular season at Midway-Minto on July 19. They finished off the regular year in fine fashion, winning 11-0 in five innings. The game was highlighted
by a five inning perfect game by Cooper Zimmer, who struck out seven batters with no walks and no errors behind him in the perfecto. With the win, the Red Sox will take an 11-10 record into the postseason play. Their league record is 7-5, which got them the fourth seed in the District 5 American Legion Baseball Tournament held in Hatton on July 23-27.

LANGDON 11, MIDWAY-MINTO 0 (5 INNINGS) L -- 110 36 -- 11 11 0 MM -- 000 00 -- 0 0 1 WP -- Cooper Zimmer; LP -- John Juarez Highlights -- Zimmer 7 Ks perfect game, Brennan Kitchin 2x2 2B 2 RBIs, Simon Romfo 2x3 2B RBI, Grant Romfo 3B 2 RBIs, Ethan Sampson 2x4 RBI, Jackson Delvo 2x3 2B
In their last game with MidwayMinto, the Red Sox slowly worked the lead up the ladder with a run in each of the first two innings and three more in the fourth. Grant Romfo had a triple in the scoring run. A six run fifth was enough to end the game by the 10 run rule. Jackson Delvo and Simon Romfo had doubles in the inning. That was more than enough for Zimmer, who dominated the whole way by getting Bennie Gerzewski to ground out to end the game perfectly. Delvo, Simon Romfo, Ethan Sampson and Brennan Kitchin each had two hits in an 11 hit barrage for the Red Sox, while Peyton Ullyott scored three runs.

Bank of North Dakota celebrates 100 years with special events Bank of North Dakota (BND) is celebrating 100 years this month. In honor of its centennial anniversary, the Bank is holding special events including a celebration at its location, a College SAVE promotion, and the launch of “The BND Story” microsite. These events complement the previously released “The Bank of North Dakota | From Surviving to Thriving” book and commemorative coins, along with curation of an on-site museum. On Monday, July 29, the Bank invites the public to a celebration at its location, 1200 Memorial Highway, Bismarck. The event will start at 11 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. Pride of Dakota vendors selling food, books and other items will fill the lawn. Speakers, including North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, author Mike Jacobs, and—if his schedule permits—Senator John Hoeven who is a former Bank president, will start at 11:15 a.m. Tours of the Bank’s museum, which was co-curated by renowned historian Clay Jenkinson and sponsored by the North Dakota Bankers Association and Independent Community Banks of North Dakota, will be held hourly starting at noon. The movie “Northern Lights,” an award-winning film covering the emergence of the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota,
will also be shown at 1 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. “We invite everyone to celebrate the accomplishments of a truly historic institution,” states Eric Hardmeyer, Bank president/CEO. “It would be difficult to find one person in the state who has not been touched by Bank of North Dakota, whether it is a family still farming on their forefather’s land, a business that has succeeded or a student loan that helped someone achieve their career goals.” As part of the 100-year celebration, College SAVE, the state’s 529 plan administered by BND, will deposit an additional $100 in the College SAVE accounts of 100 North Dakota residents who contribute to new or existing accounts in July. Making a contribution during the month automatically qualifies account owners for the drawing. The Bank also launched a microsite, thebndstory.nd.gov, detailing its first 100 years. The site includes interesting anecdotes and videos along with written commentary about its history. A chronicle of the Bank’s rich history is also available in the recentlyreleased book, “The Bank of North Dakota | From Surviving to Thriving.” The Bank commissioned Mike Jacobs, well-known North Dakota journalist, to write it. Copies can be
bought and signed by Jacobs at the July 29 celebration. Silver and brass commemorative coins will also be sold on-site during the event. Bank of North Dakota opened its doors on the corner of Seventh Street and Main Avenue in Bismarck, North Dakota, July 28, 1919. Throughout its 100-year history, it has been tested, questioned, investigated and applauded. Although other states owned banks before 1919, and some states are trying at this time, none have succeeded. Visit bnd.nd.gov to learn more about all of the 100th anniversary activities of the Bank. The Bank of North Dakota is overseen by the Industrial Commission, which consists of Gov. Burgum as chairman, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring.

July 2, 2019 On July 2, 2019, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present.

Debra Olson, Domestic Violence and Abuse Center, met with the commissioners and requested an increase in the funding they have been receiving from Cavalier County from $6,000/year to $10,000/year. The commissioners asked Olson to follow up and let them know if Walsh and Pembina Counties approve increasing their contributions, and also asked for a breakdown on the percentage of usage from each county.

Culvert requests from Fremont Township were reviewed. Johnston stated he had inspected the current concrete box culverts and felt they were structurally sound. It was discussed that any repair to the box culverts would be the township’s expense and that the county would only cost share if they were replaced.

Nick Moser made a motion to appoint Lindsey Gellner as Deputy Coroner, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Fetsch informed the commissioners that Langdon City had approved the proposed policing contract. Fetsch also informed the commissioners that he had been contacted by Towner County to see if Cavalier County wanted to share our scales and possibly an employee to run them. It was decided that the county would not at this time. Daren Christianson, Langdon Area Schools Superintendent, met with the commissioners and informed them that the school would be having a special election on October 1st to vote on increasing the maximum school building fund levy from 5 mills to 15 mills. If the vote passes, it will not have a sunset clause. Christianson reviewed various updates needed in both schools and the proposed project that has been put together with CTS Group.

By Rita Maisel
The Road Home: Home is where the heart is with each person having their own definition. Last week 21 (or maybe more) members of the Peterson/Franta family arrived in Langdon wearing shirts with the caption “The Road Home.” For some of them it was returning to a place they had been to as children, and for the rest it was their first visit to the place where their grandparents had grown up. On the surface they had come to inter the ashes of their parents/grandparents which was a major stop. But along with that purpose they also had some private agendas: sleeping in the old farmhouse one more time, meeting friends of their family, and just seeing the town of Langdon. From the standpoint of those they visited with, we could add on asking lots of ques-
Cavalier County Republican
tions. In retrospect they may some day wonder why they did not ask where the great-grandparents on the McDonald side were buried (Salem Evangelical Cemetery a mile or two east of Clyde), or what the connection was with the town of Hannah other than the fact that the railroad line ended there? The Franta home, built about 80 years ago, is still standing, and they found it with no trouble, but what happened to the big white house where Grandma Kelland had an apartment? It is now a one level duplex, white, and facing another direction. The visitors were the children of Gary and Rosemary (Franta) Peterson, who both grew up in Cavalier County, graduated from Langdon High School and then went on to the University of North Dakota. While Gary was in the Air Force, Rosemary finished her degree, and a short time later they were married at Langdon. Some couples include travel as a honeymoon, but they often joked about their travel being tied to where he
Langdon Long Ago
was stationed. Once the service years were completed, they returned to Grand Forks so Gary could finish college. At least one of their homes was in married housing described as wartime barracks in an earlier life. For Becky, Craig and Trevor there were childhood memories of coming back to Langdon to visit grandparents and relatives on both sides of the family. As a result, their family grew up referring to North Dakota as “home”. Since the group included three generations of relatives, my memory is not good enough to keep their names straight. After years of knowing one of the grandchildren was Dakota (no gender mentioned), it was nice to meet her and learn she is a lovely young lady. The visitors took lots of pictures while they were here and promised to send a copy with all the names included. It is possible they went the long way home since there was mention of camping at Mt. Rushmore on the way back to Seattle. Thank you messages were mentioned (“if you write about this”): one to the Hart family who had helped

with arrangements for the burial and directions for sightseeing, as well as to the guides who took them through the Masonic display featuring greatgrandparents and others who helped them see the sights at the museum at Dresden. They might have to come back to see the family memorial stone at Boyd Block Plaza. They enjoyed “Langdon’s Lake” and seemed surprised it had not been here on other visits. No, it was not high water they were referring to but Mt. Carmel Dam and Recreation area. Many stories for this column have grown out of the clippings in a file their great-grandfather, Ed Franta, referred to as “The Morgue” since it began with so many obituaries. Ed had heard about a collection of this kind while studying journalism at UND long ago and began the file when he came to Langdon to work at the Cavalier County Republican. Currently it is kept up by the local library staff and contains stories filed by family names. Because time was limited, the visitors did not all have time to see this collection of history. The ones who did took pictures of the indexed envelopes for further study. Copies of specific stories could be sent to them later. Like many who find a family name, they were delighted to find the write-up for weddings from earlier generations. Icelandic Church: Elsewhere in the newspaper you may find an invitation to a special summer service to be held at the Icelandic Lutheran Church south of Senator Young Dam on August 4 at 2 p.m. This is one of the oldest churches in our area, and both the church and the nearby cemetery are open history books for people from the area. The congregation worships elsewhere most of the year, but each summer they have a service at the church, and the public is invited. In past years it is possible they had an Icelandic sermon or maybe sang some of the longago Icelandic hymns, but this year I am told “the service will be in English.” All are welcome. Love Ribbons: A project known to United Methodist Women’s groups as Love Ribbons will complete 50 years in the upcoming future so I have been researching their origins for that event. The story behind the ribbons is long and, at times, hilarious but not local history so will not include all the details. The ribbons began with Kathleen (Shear) Bellamy, daughter of the Dresden elevator manager, who graduated from Langdon High School in 1935. She went on to become a teacher and in 1941 married Wayne Bellamy from Drayton. His mother introduced Kathleen to the women’s group who is remembered as someone who did every job they found for her. As the years went by Kathleen was not only an active member, she was president of the Drayton group then president of the district and president of the conference level WSCS. The EUB ladies had their own organization (WSWS) and their own officers, but in the late 1960s both sides involved in the denominational merger learned to know Kathleen quite well. Not only did she come almost weekly to Langdon but met with similar groups at Cavalier, Grand Forks and elsewhere.
In 1968 local groups met at Langdon and signed a charter where they would all be one unit but would keep their own circles and do their long standing projects. One of the Methodist groups said the initials for their group stood for “we serve chicken suppers” which they frequently did. Other projects crossed all the denominational and community boundaries. Eventually one of these Kathleen suggested was called a Corsage for Mission. Wanting a project to raise money and cost almost nothing to make, they started out using ribbon from funeral bouquets. That ribbon was too large. A ribbon with a sticker of a flower (some were available at DeVold’s Dime Store) on it was too plain. They wanted something lacy to trim with. How about that ribbon put out by 3M for gift wrapping? If you made up a few of these ribbons and fanned them together with a flower sticker at the top of each one it looked like a small bouquet – hence the name. Ladies at meetings would purchase these to help out the fundraising and then give them away to people they thought were special: officers in the organization, guests, guest speakers, choir members, anyone over 80, ushers at church – there was a long list of people you could give a ribbon to. The corsage meant giving several ribbons like a small bouquet. Each ribbon sold for $1, and the money raised went to campgrounds, mission work in Sierra Leone, supporting missionaries born in North Dakota who went all over the world and then a group in Bismarck asked for help. Close to a shopping mall was a large trailer court of young mothers with small children. The mothers could work at the mall, but they had no babysitters. Not only did ribbon money go to help the Open Door Community Center become a reality, but it is still in operation – currently in one of the Bismarck churches. Dime stores went out of business and flower stickers were not readily available, so a church logo sticker was used, and the name of the ribbons changed to Love Ribbons. Cousins asked me to go to a meeting with them at one of the campgrounds in the 1970s. It was a large group, and the ladies selling the ribbons had only one roll of yellow ribbon to make the love ribbons. People were asking for more variety. I did craft sales and had some No. 9 ribbon in the car so rolls of various colors became my donation. Later six of us held the office responsible for making the ribbons. Fortunately, I still had odds and ends of ribbon on hand. Some disliked this pokey little task, but I enjoyed it and am still making them from packages of supplies and stickers sent by others interested in the project. With a wide variety it is like working with a rainbow in your hands. Real lace ribbon was used as a trim for years, and when that was no longer manufactured we found substitutes. When the logo was discontinued, we found stickers at Bible bookstores. Somewhere along the line a hug was added to each ribbon. Funds raised help day cares, mitten and coat projects, after school programs, weekend backpack projects and dozens of other projects.
