Licensed to Grow: a joint effort rolls out hemp crop

Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889

After four years of research, the hard work put in by the staff at the NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center (LREC) will help producers get rolling with hemp.

Once the final hurdle of regulations at the federal level have been decided, the 2020 growing season will kick-start the commercial hemp production in the country.

“Early on, it was strictly screened by the DEA which made it somewhat of a burden and the Langdon REC was the only site authorized for testing in North Dakota until 2019,” LREC Director Randy Mehlhoff said.

Since beginning their research into the production of industrial hemp in 2014, the LREC has had high success with the crop. The primary focus of the research has been planting dates and varieties that work best within the area.

The center began their research with 12 different varieties from four countries, including France and Canada.

“Today we are testing 16 varieties, all from Canada as Canadian varieties perform better,” Mehlhoff said. “All varieties we test are for the fiber and seed/ oil industry. The CBD plants are a whole different ballgame.”

While the industrial hemp is slowly gaining ground, the varieties used more for production of CBD (Cannabidiol) oil have been a focus for one fledgling company as they began growing hemp this year. Plantology Inc., based in Far-

go, shared their experience thus far growing the crop for commercial production. Troy Goltz, who is one of the founding partners for the company, covered everything he had learned thus far with growing hemp, which is that the CBD varieties like the perfect growing conditions.

“It’s kind of fussy on a lot of different things, but it does like a pH between 6 and 7 for the most part,” Goltz said. ”Micro nutrient levels are very important. Unlike some of the other plants, this plant is very fussy when it comes

to this. If it’s short something, it’s going to let you know.”

Doing the research on soils that are planned to be used to grow the CBD hemp is a must because of how sensitive the plant is. Conducting a soil test to determine the nitrogen, salt, and micro nutrient levels within the soils of a prospective field can help take some of the gamble out of growing hemp.

Plantology has focused more on the CBD oil producing varieties while LREC has solely planted industrial hemp in their research

plots . The LREC research has shown that Cavalier County is an ideal location for the growing of industrial hemp as it has rich soils and a climate that supports hemp production.

“It does like our well-drained loam soils here, but it doesn’t like heavy clay soils more so found in the valley cause it doesn’t like to get wet feet or standing water.

It can affect it pretty severely at times,” Bryan Hanson, Research Agronomist at LREC, said.

LREC research over the past three years is showing early indications that planting in the latter part of May is better than June plantings. At the LREC, the varieties have been grown strictly from seed, but Plantology has experimented with growing from clones. The reason for using clones rather than seeds is more specific to the end product use of CBD oil. Using clones provides an almost zero risk of having a male plant which could fertilize the hemp field and reduce the CBD oil yield.

“We planted clones which is about a 6“ to 8“ plant,” Goltz said.

“The plants are already grown and healthy.”

Planting clones will have the producer needing more specialized equipment to plant. While the clones are also further ahead in terms of growth, they are also more expensive and limited in supply.

“Once they are gone, they are gone. You can only produce so may clones in the spring. You have a month, month and a half cont. on page 2

1000 Print Summer in Langdon

The Northern Lights Arts Council (NLAC) invites one and all to get steamrolled by art.

Dave Machacek, the artist and creative genius behind this event, has been traveling across the region with ArtOrg based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, to bring this fun way of printing to all ages. “Thousand Print Summer” takes place on Saturday, August 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Langdon City Park.

“Our mission is to promote the arts and provide fun activities for adults and kids in our county, and we thought t h i s could be a s u c ce s s f u l event to do just that,” NLAC Director Amber Benoit said.

Machacek explained that the event originated when he created large 4 foot by 8 foot woodblock prints for some artists back in 2005. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts took note of this and tasked Machacek with the challenge of developing this technique for a smaller scale event for one of their family days.

“I then went on to get a grant from Forecast Public Art and

the Jerome Foundation to further develop the concept in 2008,” Machacek shared.

The event has been held 180 times this summer, creating nearly 12,000 prints. The public art event puts a twist on traditional printmaking by using a small steamroller rather than a press. Attendees will be given the materials to create their own printing block. Typically, the creation of the block takes about 30 minutes, but once the people get started- it doesn’t t a k e l o n g for the creative itch to spread.

“Usua l l y within 5 minutes, their parents come back and get materials for their own print, too!”

Once completed, the block gets inked, placed on a piece of paper, and ran over with the steamroller. The finished product is a one-of-a-kind print created by one-of-a-kind artists.

“Everyone should come because they can learn printmaking and can show off their creativity,” Machacek said. “The kids at our August 17 event will cont. on page 2

Brush with the Bunch

“Where are your paintings hanging?“ This article is about two of our former members, Audry Dunnigan and Ione Braget. The enclosed copies of their paintings were sent to me by Danielle Tesmer Andresen of Langdon. The portrait is of Danielle when she was six years old, commissioned by her mother Catherine Siguaw Tesmer and painted by Ione Braget, a former member of the Brush Bunch.

Danielle remembers it hanging in her parent‘s home north of Walhalla and inherited it when her mother passed away. The painting of the schoolhouse, which was located north of Milton but in the south half of Olga Township- a double township at the time, was painted by Audry Dunnigan, another former Brush Bunch member and one of the founders of the Brush Bunch. This painting was also in the possession of Catherine Siguaw Tesmer. She and most of her siblings attended school there, and in later years, they went to the Olga school. The schoolhouse has a long history, being built in the late 1800‘s, and was one of 11 schools in the Olga district. It was known as Olga School District #7, and later became the Tongue River District #2 but was locally referred to as the “Landsgaard School.“ The school still stands at the same intersection where it was built; it was sold to the Fjalla Ladies Aide, a nearby church congregation. They attempted to keep the school in usable condition but lost the battle to vandals. Now it stands deserted and sad, minus windows and doors on sagging hinges and the contents demolished. A sign of our times? Thank you, Danielle, for sharing this information and the paintings with us. The Brush Bunch meets every Tuesday at the Gorge Gallery from 10 until 4, and the coffee pot is always on. Another Capsule Sermon: „Character develops itself in the stream of life.“ God Bless, and enjoy the heat!

Cavalier County Commission discuss budgets at last meeting The Cavalier County Commission attended to regular business during their meeting on Tuesday, August 6. The Commission dealt with a variety of issues from department updates to courthouse maintenance to budgets.

The commissioners discussed the possibility of creating a foreman to be the point of contact between the Commission and the roadmen of Cavalier County.

This recommendation was put forward by commissioner Nick Moser as a way to have a consistent direction for roadmen as they go about maintaining Cavalier County roadways. The Commission discussed the idea and agreed that this would be a good way to have a more effective department.

Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner explained that following the completion of the remodel of bathrooms at the north end of the courthouse, the faucets in those bathrooms will need to be replaced. Gellner explained that before she can send in the final paperwork for the CBDG grant, the regular faucets that were installed need to be replaced with motion activated ones. The Commission approved the motion to amend the submission of the grant until this was completed.

The commissioners also reviewed the preliminary budget.

There were major concerns with the issue of salary. Commissioner Greg Goodman was especially frustrated with the process as he noted that the Commission gave a 3 percent salary increase to all county employees in May and then, during the budgeting process, departments requested additional compensation.

“I was disappointed with this because that’s what I thought the salary committee was supposed to serve as,” Greg Goodman said.

He also noted that a salary survey conducted by the HR officer has caused issue amongst the county employees as well.

The commissioners will be reviewing the salary survey more in depth after the budgeting but

have included the salary adjustment potential for some county employees.

“Everybody is getting a 3 percent raise, and beyond that, all we are doing in the budgeting process is preparing for any potential salary adjustments,” Goodman said. “We have not approved adjustments for the roadmen. We have not approved the adjustments that have been proposed by Crystal for the Sheriff’s Department, but we have got a budget to approve, and we have numbers in there to make those things work, but I don’t want to get this budget process confused with any type of salary adjustment for county employees.”

The Commission clarified that the budget must have the room for that potential salary adjustment that has been proposed within the salary guideline created by Cavalier County HR Officer Crystal Beggs. This issue relates to the discovery made by Beggs; in her research she found that the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department is compensated at approximately 15 percent under the fair market value for those positions. The roadmen were also found to be underpaid in comparison to fair market value.

“To budget for it, we have to have these numbers in there cause if we do have these increases and we decide in May of next year, at least we are covered in our budget without amending our budget,” Moser said.

Commission Chair Dave Zeis noted that Beggs was given a very short time frame to prepare the survey, and the commissioners have not yet been able to thoroughly review the information. As the Commission discussed, the comparison for set hours per week was agreed that 40 hours per week for salaried and non-exempt was more practical and fair than using a 35 hours a week. Years of service was also a marker that had been noted as a benchmark for salary.

There were questions as to how this should or would be worked into the guideline.

“It’s things I think we need to

Monday, August 12, 2019 – Page 3

actually discuss at length with Crystal here. These are all things we need to go through before we actually implement any policy,” Zeis stated.

Other issues that would need to be discussed are whether or not there would be a cost of living increase each year or just a flat increase. Moser noted that there is still five months in 2019 which would allow the commissioners to work with the survey to determine if there are increases that need to be made.

The decision could be made by January of 2020. The guideline created was based on a 35 hour work week and the information provided to the county to determine payment to the employees within the county.

“The data that came out of there, whether we are 35 hours or 40 hours or this person has more responsibility or whatever, the thing that came out of that to me is that if we need to do salary adjustments, where the county has been deficient on, is the Sheriff’s Department in terms of pay,” Goodman said.

The realization comes at a time when there are over 100 hundred open positions in law enforcement within the state.

The concern of maintaining competitive pay for positions so that when the need arises for new employees, the positions are attractive while still being fair to current employees. Currently, half of the county budget is strictly for the salary and benefits of county employees.

“By 2021 budget we should be able to get firm numbers and get salaries implemented to fair market value, where we need to be across the board, and there may be a few that are higher than fair market. It’s going to take 5 years to get to where we need to be,” Moser said.

The preliminary budget only contains the 3 percent raise that was agreed to by the Commission in May and the review of the Sheriff’s Department salaries. The preliminary budget will include a mill increase of 6 mills.

The commissioners approved the preliminary budget.

Melissa’s Musings

By Melissa Anderson Isn’t it punny?

One of my favorite aspects of writing is coming up with a clever title. The other is creating crafty sentences. Both of these have to do with puns. I love a good pun.

By definition, puns can be either a noun or a verb, but in both uses it's creating a joke that exploits the different possible meanings of a word.

Wordplay within serious articles lightens the load of consistent writing. The chances of burnout that can result from producing several articles every week is quite high and can become even more tedious when the subject matter is dull.

Enter the tongue in cheek catch phrases. It starts with the title of articles. For some writers, this is usually not high on the priority list, but for me it must be done first and foremost as that is what sets the tone for the article. Having a playful title helps to lighten the reading.

This is especially necessary when the reading is intense.

Having a witty title that plays on words gives the reader a chance to have a laugh rather than make them dread the reading. In some cases, the title could even make the article be read more widely. The term “click bait” comes to mind.

The true measure of journalistic genius is making the article memorable- feeding on the emotions, having pertinent information, mak-

ing it interesting. Trust me, writing about the primary topic for this paper....agriculture....can be taxing on the psyche. This is even more true because, prior to the taking of this position, I knew the surface level of agriculture. By that I mean, I knew the difference between a tractor and a combine and that grains like barley and wheat turn gold in the fall signaling the time for harvest.

Beyond that barely scratching the surface knowledge, I was ignorant.

But word play and making something mundane and boring into something interesting and, dare I say, memorable? That I could do.

With this, my efforts to make catchy titles and witty sentences on topics I knew absolutely nothing about began. Part of being witty and punny is knowing what you are talking about. Much to the chagrin of my husband, I am now fairly knowledgeable on the agribusiness side. Still can’t tell the difference between a barley or wheat field, though!

I know that many producers are outstanding in their fields. I make every effort to be good for this weekly with long deadlines, but I do know that there is no way I could make it in the New York Times.

Being a hard newswriter can be dark at times so finding that flexibility to be witty and bright is always nice. Be on the look out for puns.

Like deer during hunting season, they could jump out at any time.

Just cut the cord already...

On July 5, it was announced that DirecTV dropped all four CBS TV affiliates in western North Dakota. By the afternoon of July 6, people on the street were livid and wanted CBS back, not so much for the “Young and the Restless” or “NCIS,” but because of local news, weather and sports.

In fact, the company that owns KX, NexStar, had all its channels pulled from DirecTV, and many people in the Bakersfield and Fresno areas of California who experienced that massive earthquake July 6, didn’t have local news in the wake of the disaster. So far the situation with KX has not been rectified, but there may be a better answer.

Folks, there is a simple solution to this. Cut the cord. Appropriately, July 7 was “Cut the Cord Day.” Unfortunately, cable and satellite companies are shooting themselves in the foot. Fees continually increase, local channels like KX get yanked and commercial content seems to increase as the years go by.

Sometimes I’ll stay in hotels and when I do, I like to channel surf because I don’t get cable at home. That included National Guard drills in Bismarck, and I’ve been away from that for 12 years already. Cable has changed dramatically in those 12 years. It’s kind of like the Bruce Springsteen song, “57 channels and nothing on.”

Since the digital age began in June 2009, local TV has exploded.

Five TV channels in 2008 has grown to 27 channels today in western North Dakota. Seven of them are in high definition and that doesn’t cost a fee. The only caveat with this is you would need a good over-theair antenna that would most likely be mounted in your attic or on your roof if you live in a rural area. And, if you live 40 miles or more from a transmitting tower, chances are you will need a pre-amplifier to maintain the digital signal.

Terrestrial, or over-the-air channels, have a lot of variables such as height of transmitting towers, more effected radiated power and even position of said tower. Depending on where you live, you may be able to get digital TV from as far as 80 or 90 miles away with the right equipment.

Have an opinion?

Deadline is Wednesday by 4 p.m for the following Monday paper.

Upside Down Under I’m actually in the process of researching a phenomenon known as passive reflection and am hoping to get CKX, channel 4 in Brandon, Manitoba, which remains an analog signal, 112 miles northeast.

But herein lies the problem with over-the-air television. Try to find a professional grade antenna? I challenge you. Nearly all have been discontinued. When the United States went digital in June 2009, many companies assumed that people would just go to cable or satellite so they stopped manufacturing highend, or “deepest fringe” antennas.

There is, however, one company that has created a new generation of over-the-air antennas. The antennas are smaller, they weigh less and they have equal or better gain than the old antennas. The company is called Wade Antenna, and it’s located in Brantford, Ontario. It doesn’t sell antennas directly so you would have to go through a distributor.

I purchased an FM antenna from Wade, mounted it on my garage roof, which is about 25 feet off the ground and am receiving signals from as far away as Regina, Bismarck and Devils Lake. My distributor is Prairie Mobile in Estevan, Saskatchewan. They also have an office in Brandon and Winnipeg.

Otherwise, you would have to go to

Minneapolis or Lafayette, Indiana, to get this quality.

There are others who make good antennas: Winegard, Channel Master and Antennas Direct, but the gain is always less.

There used to be a company called RadioShack that made excellent quality consumer-grade antennas, but it ceased production of its antennas. There’s also another option if you want to spend the money. Purchase the same equipment cable companies use to bring beyond-line-of-sight channels to local cable companies, i.e, Grand Forks receiving Winnipeg channels.

Keep in mind, TV is a lot more challenging than FM radio, but if you live anywhere in North Dakota, even in the Pembina Gorge, you should be able to get over-the-air television.

There’s also overlap. If you live in the Garrison or Underwood area, you should get TV from Bismarck and Minot, or if you live in the Jamestown area, you’ll get overthe-air TV from Bismarck and from Fargo.

Cable and satellite TV is like smoking cigarettes, nobody wants to quit but when they do, they wonder why they didn’t do it sooner.

Veterans Update

By Leon Hiltner County Veterans Service Officer MISSION Act At its core, the MISSION Act reflects the president’s vision that veterans need to be at the center of their health care decisions. If it’s too long a drive to the VA, if wait times are too long, if we can’t offer the services a veteran needs, or if it’s simply in the best medical interest of a veteran to use non-VA services, they can now seek care in their community.

That change was a long time coming for our rural veterans, many of whom live nowhere close to a VA hospital or clinic. And it’s much more than just an “extension” of the Choice program enacted under President Obama. That program was temporary, narrow and incomplete, while the MISSION Act is permanent and will put a much broader group of veterans in the driver’s seat when it comes to their health.

In the end, the MISSION Act simply gives the VA what all other major healthcare systems have - a way of referring patients to outside care when needed. Community care is one piece of that, as is the new urgent care benefit. We have nearly 5,000 urgent care providers in our network so far, and that number is expanding as we continue to provide veterans with more options to get care when and where they need it.

Loans & Grants position The Loans & Grants position has been reopened. The position requires a 2 year degree or equivalent years of experience.

If you know of someone interested let them know to read the application process carefully as a cover letter and resume are required for a complete application. The job is posted at ND Job Service: LOAN AND GRANT OFFICER. Veterans ASCEND is Building a Military Spouse Employment Program Veterans ASCEND are kicking

off a campaign to build a military spouse employment module to help military spouses connect with employers like we are doing for veterans and separating service members.

To learn more about what we are doing to build the military spouse employment module, check out the video at https://ifundwomen. com/projects/support-militaryspouses.

Also, as a reminder, please encourage your veterans seeking employment to create their skills profile at https://veterans.veteransascend.com/.

We currently have 105 positions across the country that employers are looking for veterans to fill.

National Cemetery In preparation for the opening of the Fargo National Cemetery, I suggest you review the information at this link https://www.cem.va.gov/ cem/burial_benefits/need.asp and start preparing your clients that are looking to inter a loved one here.

We expect a surge when it opens as many of our clients have been holding on to the cremains for 2+ years, so it would be best to let your clients know that scheduling is done on a first come, first served basis. I can only assume that the hours will be similar to Ft. Snelling for burials, M-F from 8 am – 5 pm.

Getting ready to go back to school can lead to increased stress and anxiety for both kids and parents. The transition from a laidback summer schedule to the routine of school can be difficult with kids worrying about new teachers, switching schools, bullying, etc.

Parents can face stress over having to add school supplies, clothes, and, at times, tuition to their budget.

The American Psychological Association suggests taking steps like practicing a first day of school rou-

tine ahead of time, visiting a new school or new classroom if possible before school starts, and encouraging children to talk about any worries or concerns they may have.

“A human being is a vessel that God has built for himself and filled with his inspiration so that his works are perfected in it.” Hildegard of Bingen This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So, I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Jeremiah 18:1-4 (NIV) As I listen and watch other women around me, I am in awe of all that each of us, as women, can get done in a day. For some though, they may not see it that way; the kids need to get ready for school, the housework needs to be done, the dog has to go to the vet, they need to go grocery shopping, it’s a never-ending list. When the day is done and the feelings of being wore out, tired, and taken for granted enter the forefront of our minds, I am reminded of the quote above by Hildegard of Bingen.

Theodore Geddes

A son, Theodore Robert, was born to Matt and Morgan Geddes of Langdon on April 27, 2019, at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks. He weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20 inches long.

Grandparents are Gaylene and the late Robert Ullyott of Langdon, Joyce and Rob Bulman of Phoenix, Ariz., and Russ and Nara Geddes of Grafton.

As women we all need to be reminded that the person we are is someone who can overcome the odds. We are women who can go forth and, in the midst of everyday life, still add beauty to our world.

Hildegard was that kind of woman, adding beauty to her life and others around her. She would be a woman who started an all-female covenant. She would write about her visions in a three trilogy book series, the most noted being Scivias. She wrote plays and music.

Her works would be about God, the fall of man, and medicine. She would be a woman who would go on four preaching tours.

No matter what our works are we, too, can be as beautiful as Hildegard. That imperfect vessel that we sometimes think can never be that beautiful can be remolded. As woman we can usually find the cracks, the chips and the dreariness of our life, but just like the marred clay in the potter’s hand, the cracks and chips can be reshaped into the beauty that God wants us to be.

United Communications hosts blood drive with Vitalant United Communications is hosting a blood drive with Vitalant on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at United Communications (alley entrance) to help ensure a safe blood supply in our community.

With the hopes of recruiting 40 people to donate blood with a goal of 33 units to be collected, Vitalant encourages anyone feeling well and healthy to make their appointment for the blood drive.

Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood by calling Mikan Lovcik at 256-5156, 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 Reward program.

With your help, 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. Vitalant relies on 250 people to donate blood each

day to ensure the needs of our local hospitals are met. There is no substitute for human blood, so volunteer blood donors are vital to ensure a safe blood supply for our community.

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.

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 .

Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments.

Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their health history the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Practice, practice, practice Let's begin this week by again reminding everyone that two fall sports begin practices this week, with the other to follow the week after. High School Football will begin for Class A 11 Man and 9 Man teams on Aug. 12. The Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals football team will get started that day, at 7:00 a.m. It's kind of neat this year that all Class A and 9 Man teams will play a nine game schedule this year. With that being the case, the Cardinals will have five home games this year, not counting if they make the postseason. Their first game is Aug. 23 at home versus Northern Cass. We will talk more about their new Region 2A conference, which has one slight change, next week. Region 2 9 Man Football also has a new look this year, as North Border, Cavalier, North Prairie (Rolla-Rolette), St. John, North Star, Nelson County, Dunseith and Benson County are all in the same league this year, which should rekindle some old rivalries.

Cross Country will also being practice on Aug. 12. The LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals team, coached once again this year by Todd Hetler will have their first practice at 8:30am their first day out.

Volleyball isn't quite ready to go, as practice for that sport will begin on Aug. 19. Langdon-EdmoreMunich will have their first practice that day, with the varsity going at 8:30 a.m., and the junior high at 1:00 p.m. In all the years that Cardinals coach Rich Olson has run the pro-

gram, this is overall the tallest team he has ever had, with five or six girls around the six foot mark. Fall sports are going to be fantastic all over the area once again this year.

Tournament season and League Golf winds down at the Langdon Country Club As we roll into harvest season, the Langdon Country Club is getting to the end of their tournament schedule. As we told you last week, their are two big tourneys with the Dennis Borgen String Tournament on Aug. 10, followed by the Women's City Tourney on Aug. 11. The final tournament on the calendar is on Sept. 14, with the Ryder Cup Classic, which we will discuss more when the date get closer. This week also marks the last league nights of the season for Tuesday Men's and Wednesday Women's. Playoffs will follow that, and we are said to report that me and partner Russ Stremick will not be seeing the postseason this year. We will talk the league playoffs a bit more next week.

Thompson goes back to back to back for State B Legion titles We will leave you this week by congratulating Thompson Post 141 for winning their third straight State B American Legion Baseball title, which they did in Hazen at the State B Tournament on Aug. 4. Cadyn Schwabe, Hayden Overby, Marcus Hughes and Nick Reck, all who have local ties to our area, were part of all three championships. Hughes was named MVP of the tourney.

The success that all four of these gentlemen have had throughout their high school and legion careers is arguably unmatched, and we tip our cap to all of them.

"See ya!" next week!

Goehring activates harvest hotline

Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has activated the North Dakota Harvest Hotline.

“Farmers who need custom combining and combiners looking for a job should call us at 701-425-8454,” Goehring said. “Your name and information will be entered into the Harvest Hotline database to be matched up with other callers.”

Goehring said North Dakota Department of Agriculture employees will answer calls to the hotline weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Callers can also leave a message on evenings and weekends.

The service is free of charge.

A self-service Harvest Hotline map is also available again this year. The map can be found by clicking on “Harvest Hotline” at

http://www.nd.gov/ndda/. Users may click on the black icons to retrieve information about harvesters available in their area.

“Both farmers and combiners are already utilizing the service,” Goehring said.

First implemented in 1992, when adverse weather conditions caused a heavy demand for custom combining, the Harvest Hotline has been offered annually as a free service for farmers and combiners.

Public Notice

Monday, August 12, 2019 – Page 11

Langdon Long Ago

Always a Good Fair A frequent request is to write about the Cavalier County Fair, and there are memories of doing so on several occasions, but none of the earlier stories have surfaced in spite of diligent searching.

Writing about some of the many projects B. E. Groom was associated with for last week renewed that search both in my mind and in the minds of readers. The first county fair in North America was held in Nova Scotia in the 1700s and was modeled after similar celebrations in Scotland and England. The first county fair in the United States was held in Massachusetts in 1807, became known as the Berkshire Fair and, according to the internet, is still an annual event.

Early fairs were termed agricultural fairs and offered a chance to display agricultural products and livestock. Settlers moving west from southern Canadian provinces and northeastern states were familiar with the concept of an agricultural fair long before they set foot in Dakota Territory. Those same settlers also had a strong core of local residents who loved horses and horse racing. Some of the earliest Cavalier County Courier newspaper stories tell about horse races on Spruce Street in Langdon (now 9th Avenue or Highway 5) even before the railroad reached our area. It took many horses to build the railroad with the last link in the line to Langdon completed October 24, 1887. The workers were paid off and construction workers used their salaries to purchase horses to plow land they may not yet have had title to owning.

Most will have heard the advertising for the Pembina County Fair as the oldest continuous fair in our area, but pre-1900 issues of the Cavalier County Courier Democrat (the oldest remaining copies in our county) also mention an agricultural fair held at Langdon with crops exhibited and horse races held. Reading about that endeavor years ago I was surprised to find my own grandfather’s name associated with an agricultural fair in Langdon in the mid 1890s. From family stories I already knew that my grandmother’s brother, the first Jerry Kaercher, had been on the board for the original Pembina County Fair. Relatives were happy to tell

stories of how Uncle Jerry remained on the Pembina board “forever” with grandsons taking his place in more modern times.

Reading the stories in both the Courier Democrat and Cavalier County Republican as well as listening to stories offered by elderly fair-goers was entertaining, and this week I want to share some of the highlights of those who attended “every single year.” They may not agree on all details, but their memories are delightful. One of those attendees was Dick Forkner, who also composed the story of the fair that appears in the Langdon Centennial Book. Dick was born the night of the 1909 May cyclone which destroyed many parts of Langdon. He talked about his parents carrying him to the very first Cavalier County Fair held August 3-5, 1909, and wanted listeners to know that he had attended every fair until it closed.

No one would argue because there were many others who also wanted to tell us they had “never missed the fair.” Some might be reading this column today.

The Langdon Jubilee book of 1963 says that the idea of forming a Cavalier County Fair Association grew out of a public meeting held in Langdon in 1908. The group hoped to sell memberships in the proposed fair association and with those funds purchase 20 acres of land from the Langdon Driving Association. The cost was $10 per share, and participation must have been unanimous because by the following year they owned the land, had built a race track and a grandstand.

A deed for some of this property indicates they also purchased land that had been owned by B. E. Groom, who became the executive secretary of the association and was known from 1909 until 1937 as the fair manager. In 1908 Groom was County Supt. of Schools and also headed the Cavalier County Immigration Association. When Groom and Mark I. Forkner purchased the Cavalier County Republican a short time later, there was a span of four years when Judge Bleakley managed the county fair. The county corn contest were held in this early period of fair exhibits with each rural school raising and exhibiting their best ears of corn.

Carl Wild was 7 years old when the fair opened in 1909. He was downsizing in the 1980s and had “inherited” the original Cavalier County Fair books. He mentioned one of his brothers had died, and he took his brother’s place on the final fair board. This collection consisted of the original records of the $10 fees charged to become members of the Fair

Association, original handwritten minutes (some hard to read) and many other documents. Carl gave those items to me with a request that I type up the minutes on original County Fair Stationery (a task never completed) so they would be easier to read. I was also instructed to take fair souvenirs and memorabilia out to the Museum for display. Some of the material went to the museum that summer, and when we were busy with centennial books, the rest were also deposited there.

Museum visitors were not interested in reading old hand-written minutes, but they were sure the certificates of membership in the association must be worth a lot of money by now – especially if they found one with their family name included.

The membership certificates had been a source of controversy from the very beginning in part because if your ancestor had deposited $10 in the fund to build the fairgrounds, he or she would get in free. Annual association meetings were held and that “free admission” passed after death to the purchaser’s widow and then to children and grandchildren. Fair board members stood at the entrance to be sure non-members did not get in free.

Children bragged about going under the fence. Meals, seats in the grandstand, rides and other fees still had to be paid plus transportation to the fairgrounds from all parts of the county and southern Manitoba.

The busiest person had to be secretary B. E. Groom who, during the winter months, negotiated with midway firms, sideshows, guest entertainers, local groups who would run stands serving meals, bands, horse racing enthusiasts, talent groups, airplane pilots, and, in some eras, baseball teams. One of the best remembered acts was Tom McGoey from Grand Forks who brought his airplane, first to the fair at Park River (Cavalier County residents rode the train to see if McGoey could get off the ground), and then to Langdon where reportedly mechanics worked on the aircraft, and after some false starts McGoey took off on August 11, 1911. He did fly briefly, and many readers will have seen and smiled over pictures of McGoey’s wreck. Other daring pilots were invited over the years, and many area residents got their first airplane ride at the fair. More about fair special events later.

Fairs need good people in many positions, and many deserve to be mentioned. One of those was the late Hester Wells who had charge of many unusual

fair features, but I remember her in one of the exhibit buildings possibly with prize-winning handicrafts, baking, flowers, quilts and things of interest to women. Another lady who spent year after year at the fair was Emma Hahn- usually found in an exhibit building arranging exhibits or maybe doing some of the judging. Yes, they tasted the pickles, the angel food cakes and many kinds of bread. I am sure Gladys Shanks and Emma may have had charge of the school exhibits. Only children from rural schools could have their best penmanship, art work and other items exhibited.

Since you also had to live on a farm to belong to 4-H in that era, those same bright school children had their 4-H projects in another building, and the best went on to the state fair. Those in town schools were envious. Near that row of buildings were the pens and barns for poultry, lambs, pigs, and prize cattle and horses. The larger animals would be paraded in front of the grandstand, judged and special honors awarded to their owners.

A little farther away were the barns for the race horses with harness racing a big draw for fair-goers. Afternoons were for horse racing, and fair-goers had many stories to tell about the betting that went on (sometimes not so quietly) which was at times legal and at other times not. The races at Hamilton each year are a carryover from that era with many of today’s races featuring the same families as owners, trainers and drivers.

In the evening there might be choirs, radio personalities, dancers, nationally known people like LuluBelle and Scotty or Minnie Pearl with the price tag on her hat of the day, and sometimes fireworks in the sky and also in the stands. When you got to the midway there were kiddie rides, loop the loop, a ferris wheel, bumper cars, the merry-go-round, and dozens of others. You could have your fortune told or a specialist would read your mind. Some might guess your weight.

There were booths to show what a good marksman you were with the goal of winning a kewpie doll or maybe a teddy bear. Boys liked a machine that allowed you to operate a claw to pick up money and ended up spending more than they picked up. Most years you could win a plaid blanket or a ceramic figure at bingo and for a fee could see shrunken heads from the Pacific Islands or Hitler’s Brothers (the last were trained skunks).

Two of the long-running food booths were operated by the ladies from St. Alphonsus and the Langdon Methodist

Church. The tie-in for the Methodists was that the 1909 cyclone had destroyed the Methodist Church and parsonage along with many other buildings in Langdon so they started with the fair to help their building fund. That stand became known for their hamburgers (with smell or without – onions) as well as homemade slices of pie with ice cream- a feast for 25 cents for hungry visitors. Because of friends who attended that church our family never got to eat at the St. Alphonsus booth although we heard the group had similar menus.

The Langdon book says there were fair weddings in 1935 and 1938 but researching local fair weddings from a relative’s scrapbook we found clippings from at least six of these occasions. The couples could ask to be chosen for this event, and the winner received many gifts, small by today’s standards, but very needed in the era of the Depression years. Included might be a photograph of the couple, sometimes the groom’s suit or his shirt and tie, hairstyling by a Langdon beautician, bags of groceries from stores, household items of many kinds, probably a free movie pass to the Roxy after it was built and sometimes a ring for the groom from the jewelry store – possibly the jeweler had already sold them the rings for the bride. The couple chose their own attendants, but often the flower girls were little girls known for their cuteness and sometimes the ring bearer appeared to also be unrelated to the couple but related to people “in charge”. Those events were well attended. Mrs. Wells arranged the flowers for these weddings with blooms from the gardens of the Morden mayor and her neighbors.

The last fair was the same year as the 1963 Jubilee Celebration in Langdon, with that event an all-out extravaganza held in June. The fair board had been negotiating for funds to repair some of the buildings and spruce up the grounds.

Whether that would require a special election or not continues to be debated.

Forkner’s story says that the fair board voted to dissolve the Association and does not give the date. Other stories list that the fair board turned the matter over to the county commissioners who sold the land and property with the money going to the County General Fund. Extenuating circumstances at the time included the closing of the last of the rural schools, the incoming ICBN workers followed by the ABM and PAR sites. In all this mix the Cavalier County Fair became history – happy memories of a time past.

July 22, 2019 On July 22, 2019, at 12:00 p.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance. Chairman David Zeis called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Zeis asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried. Cell phones/reimbursements for roadmen were discussed.

Greg Goodman made a motion to increase the reimbursement for using personal cell phones to $30/ month, effective August 1, 2019, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Later in the meeting a cell phone for Gene Feil was discussed and it was decided that Terry Johnston would manage the cell phone plan. There was discussion on whether or not to increase the contribution to the Domestic Violence and Abuse Center from $6,000 to $10,000 as requested. No motion was made to increase. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners. Contracts were signed with West River Striping Company for the road striping project. There was discussion on which v-plow to adapt to the Sarles truck.

Johnston was asked to contact Mitch Otto to look at the options. It was decided to switch the Langdon motor graders over to Sharq blades.

Greg Goodman suggested getting the roadmen together in the Vang district to do a demo with the Sharq blades. Johnston stated he would check with the roadmen on a date that would work. Contractors in the bid book were contacted for a quote on the County 33 gravel project for 2020. After reviewing the quotes, it was decided to wait until late fall to decide after seeing the quality of product used this season.

Mark Zimmer, Munich City, met with the commissioners regarding a Court Services Contract and Policing Contract with the county. Zimmer stated that they had approved their Ordinance Book and that Scott Stewart was working on a Policing Contract. Anita Beauchamp, Clerk of Court, explained the process with the State for adopting a Court Services Contract. Casey Breyer, attorney, joined the meeting with Zimmer, to explain Munich needing enforcement of the ordinances. Greg Fetsch, Sheriff, was asked to reach out to other counties to see how they handle the enforcement of ordinances in small cities.

It was decided to put this on the

agenda for the August 20th meeting. The Devils Lake Basin budget was reviewed. Stanley Dick made a motion to continue with the seven cents per benefited acre assessment for Devils Lake Basin, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Cindy Stremick, Treasurer, met with the commissioners for a department update. Stremick brought the following pledges: Choice Financial – balance of $3,311,023, with a pledge pool of public funds in the amount of $127,000,000; Farmers & Merchants State Bank – balance of $3,308,150, with security of pledges of $5,449,743, and Bank of North Dakota – balance of $6,652 being covered under $250,000 FDIC. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, to accept the security of pledges, motion carried. The following department updates were also presented: Anita Beauchamp – Clerk of Court; Stephanie Bata – Tax Director; Jill Denault – Social Services. The Social Services indirect cost budget was also presented. Anitha Chirumamilla, NDSU Extension, met with the commissioners and requested the FCW position be hired at a 1.0 FTE, rather than a .7 FTE. Greg Goodman made a motion to hire the FCW position at 1.0 FTE, seconded

by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried.

The requested pay increase for the NDSU Extension Secretary position was discussed. It was decided to budget the pay increase as temporary pay, which would end when the FCW position is hired. Stanley Dick made a motion to temporarily increase the NDSU Extension Secretary pay by $417/month retroactive to July 1, 2019, and only effective until the FCW position is hired, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager/E-911 Coordinator, met with the commissioners regarding the building’s electrical grounding that would need to be completed before the new radio counsels are installed in the Sheriff’s Department. Kempert stated she had received an estimate of $21,591 for the electrical grounding. It was decided to include $10,000 in the Sheriff’s capital outlay budget for the electrical grounding. The commissioners discussed the need to select an agent for the county’s Fire and Tornado Insurance, which is being taken over by ND Insurance Reserve Fund. Nick Moser made a motion to appoint TR Waind Insurance as the agent so all insurance is with one agent, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Greg Fetsch, Sheriff, met with the commissioners to discuss the cost of the PREA jail inspection for 2020. It was decided not to add an additional amount to the budget. Crystal Beggs, HR, met with the commissioners and

presented an updated salary comparison. After much discussion, the commissioners decided to budget for the proposed salary adjustments for the Sheriff’s Department and the roadmen, with the remaining employees left at a 3% increase.

Greg Goodman made a motion, seconded by Stanley Dick to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: DAVID J.

Public Notice

Cavalier County Republican

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report – Langdon, North Dakota – 2018 We're pleased to present to you this year's Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the safe clean water we deliver to you every day.

Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water.

Langdon purchases its water from the Northeast Regional Water District located in Cavalier, North Dakota.

The North Dakota Department of Health has prepared a Source Water Assessment for the City of Langdon, Devils Lake and Northeast Regional Water District (North Valley Branch).

This information will be made available at the respective offices during normal business hours. The city's of Langdon, Devils Lake, & Northeast Regional Water District patiicipate in the wellhead protection program and copies of the wellhead protection plan are available from Langdon, Devils Lake, & Northeast Regional Water District offices during normal business hours. Information of Devils Lake Source Water Assessment can be obtained from the City of Devils Lake. Our public water system, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, has completed the delineation and contaminant/land use inventory elements of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on the information from these elements, the North Dakota Depatiment of Health has determined that Devils Lake's source water is "moderately susceptible" to potential contaminants. No significant sources of contamination have been identified.

Langdon is pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets federal and state requirements.

This report shows our water quality and what it means.

If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wa-

ter utility, please contact Jason Busse,Water Superintendent, at (701) 256-2369. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 4:00 PM in Langdon City Hall. If you are aware of nonEnglish speaking individuals who need help with the appropriate language translation, please call Jason Busse at the number listed above.

Langdon would appreciate it iflarge volume water customers would please post copies of the Drinking Water Quality Report in conspicuous locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and/or employees, so individuals who consume the water, but do not receive a water bill, can learn about our water system.

Langdon routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws.

The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 st to December 31 st, 2018.

As authorized and approved by EPA, the state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year.

Some of our data [e.g., for inorganic contaminants] though representative, is more than one year old.

The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface ofthe land, or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil production, mining or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for

public health.

In the tables on pages 3 thru 5 you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions: Not Applicable- (N/ A) Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.

Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (üg/l)- one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.

Picocuries per liter (PCi/l) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.

Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.

Action Level (AL)- The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - The "Goal" (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. * No sites exceeded the copper or lead action level in 2018.

EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants.

Those contaminants listed in the tables above are the only contaminants

Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Maximum Contaminant Level - The "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the

contaminants, which could indicate a contamination ofthe water supply from a pesticide 01' petroleum spill or leak.

We're proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some contaminants have been detected. The EPA has detelmined that your water IS SAFE at these levels.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800426-4791).

MCL's are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.

Nitrates: As a precaution we notify physicians and health care providers in this area if there is ever a higher than normal level of nitrates in the water supply.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contamiuants in driuldng water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons, such as, persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels oflead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant woman and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Northeast Regional Water District (Langdon Branch) is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. Use water from the cold tap for drinking and cooking. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.

If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize expo-sure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Tampering with a public water system is a federal offense. Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement immediately.

Please call Jason Busse, Water Superintendent, at (701) 256-2369 if you have questions concerning your water system.

The City of Langdon works diligently to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children's future. The City of Langdon is an equal opportunity employer.

This water quality report will not be mailed out to customers. If you would like a copy you may stop by City Hall at 324 8th Avenue, Langdon or go to our website at cityoflangdon.com for an electronic copy.
