Every two years for the past 50 years, Voyageurs International, based in Colorado, gives high school musicians the opportunity of a lifetime. For Raquel Bata, Lizzie Muhs, Hannah Lundeby, and Kaydee Koistinen, the summer of 2019 will be one they will always remember. The four musicians were among the 300 high school band and choir members to travel overseas with the Northern Ambassadors of Music group this past July. Bata and Muhs will be seniors this year at LAHS, with Bata playing clarinet and Muhs, a member of the choir. Lundeby plays the baritone and Koistinen sang in the choir- both graduated this past spring. The extensive three week trip begins with a nomination made by music directors of high schools along the northern border of the U.S. From that point on, if the student wants to go, it’s up to the student musician to make the trip possible for themselves. “It’s not something you can get just going with your family. You got a little bit of everything on this trip,” Muhs said. The rehearsals leading up to the trip only lasted a few days. Over the course of four days the student musicians spend extensive hours, 8 to 10 hours a day, working on their music for the trip. “It was exhausting,” all four said together.

Those intense rehearsals were only the beginning of what would be a thrilling experience. From the red eye flights and long bus rides to new destinations, it was a grueling change of pace. The tour

among the Legion, Anderson wanted to do more to make one issue affecting veterans more visible, suicide. “Remember the fallen. Support the living. That is my slogan, my goal, my thought, and my process. I want to bring it out. Everybody knows about it, but you don’t hear much about it,” Anderson said.

This slogan is in reference to the 22 veterans per day that commit suicide. This is a personal campaign for Anderson as he tries to support and bring more awareness to suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). “I have lost a couple of really good friends to suicide that I was in the military with. It’s near and dear to my heart, and it affects me,” Anderson shared. The need to bring more awareness to the mental and social issues that veterans deal with is a driving force for Anderson. Supporting veterans in any way that is needed is the purpose behind the American Legion as far as Anderson is concerned. Anderson wants to bring suicide awareness out there. “It’s out there. Everybody knows about it but it’s not out there. It needs to be out front and center. It’s taboo; you don’t talk about suicide; you don’t talk about PTSD, TBI,” Anderson said. “It’s taboo. That’s bull. It needs to be out in the forefront. We need to talk about it. The more we can talk about it the more we can help.” Currently, Anderson assists the Commander by traveling around the state and speaking and promoting membership. cont. on page 2

For the Pritchards, the purchase of the established company was a chance that could not be passed up. “We are grateful for the opportunity,” Pritchard said. As the new business owners look ahead, they are eager to start their chapter of the fam-

pumps as well as DEF fluid. “Chris will be around to fill up the area custom harvesters as well,” Sarah said.

school performers from across the United States to perform on Windsor Castle’s Grass Moat as part of the Ambassadors of Music tour put on by Voyageurs International. “We had to write a letter to the Queen to ask if we could. [Then] we had to write thank you letters to the Queen herself,” Muhs and Bata said. From the quick two day stops a piece in London and Paris, the group then traveled through mainland Europe performing and sightseeing in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Greece. “Performing in Switzerland was so much fun. The people waited for us and held up banners when we came to town. They were very friendly people and made us sweatshirts,” the four shared. The group sang American songs, from a Disney tune to the patriotic. There was one song that combined the musical talents of all 300 musicians, which was performed only twice- once in Fargo for the departure performance and the Switzerland performance. “The people were so excited to hear us,” they said.

Commander -Elect to “Remember the Fallen, Support the Living” The American Legion is important to veteran Steve Anderson for one reason, the mission of helping veterans. In his pursuit of helping fellow veterans, Anderson has reached the peak of the North Dakota American Legion. He was elected to the position of CommanderElect for the North Dakota American Legion. In 2020, Anderson will become the Commander for the state. For now, the two year responsibility is similar to that of a vice president. “It’s just one more step to help veterans. It’s that next step to have a bigger influence, hopefully more of a helping hand, helping veterans within the state," Anderson explained. Anderson has worked his way through the ranks of the American Legion, first starting at Post #98 in Langdon before slowly working his way through the district and regional positions. Anderson had been the Central Region Vice Commander where his district stretched from border to border engrossing about 60 American Legion Posts. “As you grow in the American Legion, you start to make a name for yourself, hopefully a good name,” Anderson shared. “It was our last convention in Minot, and I had a couple of guys who had been there for many

Langdon Area School board discusses business at last meeting The Langdon Area School District held the monthly school board meeting as the staff and students alike prepared for the start of the new school year. The board discussed the creation of a pep club with the fall cheerleader advisor, Steph Fetsch. Fetsch explained that there were only four girls who tried out for the football cheer squad and the minimum number needed is six. Fetsch expressed interest in maintaining her fall cheer advisor salary but instead advising a Pep Club that would support the sports programs through the year including spring sports. The club would make posters and locker signs for the student athletes and sell shirts for Homecoming. The board approved the creation of the Pep Club and will revisit the need for it in the fall of 2020 to determine if it will continue. Langdon Area School District Superintendent Daren Christianson explained that the school has found a couple “band aide” solutions for the lack of a school counselor for the upcoming year. Christianson has worked out a contract with the Catholic Charities of North Dakota to have Barb Boesl provide counseling services for 8 hours or one day per week at the public schools. The contract is for 37 weeks. Christianson has also given Jordan Braunberger a long-term sub position for one hour over lunch time for students to be able to talk with him since he is a youth counselor in our community. In the meantime, Christianson will continue to search for a counselor. The board approved the contract with Catholic Charities of ND and agreed with Christianson's decision to have Braunberger available over the noon hour. The administration has also asked the class advisors to also work with students during a monthly advisor time, and along with staff, administration

will work with seniors to ensure they are aware of scholarship opportunities. Christianson explained that it has been proven that students are more successful when they have a relationship with an adult in the school. The advisors and teachers will be encouraged to have more mindful interaction with students along with more scheduled time with students through the advisor time each month. The 2019-2020 school year will have a new program implemented in the middle school to try and make the school better able to help students. The program is called Cardinal Skills which will be a behavioral point system that will help students improve behavior. Currently, the grading system is reflective of both knowledge and behavior which is not helpful to teachers. The example used was that if a student does not turn in an assignment, the grade will reflect that it was not turned in rather than the knowledge the student has obtained. The program's intended purpose is to help teachers and administration better identify students that need help with content and/or organization to complete and turn in assignments. The board reviewed the ballot for the upcoming special vote. The steering committee for the measure advised that the ballot be amended to read that the school will only be able to access 5 mills rather than the board proposed 7.5 mills after the sunset clause of 15 years. Because of the importance of reaching the 60 percent majority vote, gaining as may 'yes' votes as possible is imperative so the board agreed to the recommendation from the steering committee. The vote is scheduled for October 1 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Langdon Elementary School. The board hopes that upon seeing the condition of the school, the

patrons of LASD will agree that the suggested improvements are needed, and they will vote 'yes' on the measure. In Other Business • LASD is now a completely nut free, tree nut free school due to a student having a severe nut allergy. Christianson explained that items that have been processed in a plant that also handle peanuts is OK, but that if the ingredient list contains a nut product it is unsafe to bring into the schools. This will have minor effects on lunches and concession sales. The board and administration asks that for the health and safety of the student, those entering LASD facilities abide by the rule. • The board approved the bus driver list. • Review of policies continued. • Board member Dave Hart informed the board that Edmore would like to pay a lump fee for coaches, etc... as part of their co-op agreement. The suggested amount was $12,500. The board directed LASD Business Manager Shauna Schneider to review past expenses and determine if this is adequate.

HAPPY LABOR DAY

The Cavalier County Commission spent the morning of Tuesday, August 20 discussing the need to return the mill levies to a level that can sustain the county expenses. Part of that discussion was ways in which the county could try to trim costs, which brought attention to the pay scale of county employees. The Commission held a conference call with Cavalier County HR Officer Crystal Beggs to review her work on the salary pay scale. The commissioners requested the creation of the scale to compare the pay of Cavalier County employees to their counterparts in similarly sized counties in the state. Cavalier County Commissioner Nick Moser had a few suggestions for improving the scale and gaining a true comparison. Moser asked Beggs to remove some markers for comparison and instead focus on the salaryto-salary for comparable positions. The suggestion was also made that the benefit package of Cavalier County be added in the comparison as it has a heavy impact on the compensation received. With the suggested changes, the commissioners will revisit the guideline in a few months. At the end of the meeting during open discussion, the topic of salary and benefit packages was again revisited by Moser. With

the county facing increased costs of operations, the need to trim where they can is pressing as the mill levy will see an increase in the next tax year to offset the increase. Cavalier County Auditor Lisa Gellner reported that one mill will be worth approximately $55,000. The county will most likely see a minimum of a seven mill increase. The Commission met with Cavalier County Emergency Manager Karen Kempert to discuss the potential implementation of the SIRN 2020 system. Kempert explained that early adoption of the system will give Cavalier County the benefit of a focused service as those wanting to see it implemented will give special attention to ensure satisfaction. The system update will provide increased and better coverage of radio consoles for the emergency services of Cavalier County along the northern border and within the Pembina Gorge. After extensive discussion the commission agreed with Kempert and entered into a 10 year contract with 25 years of tech support for the system. The initial funding will come from 911 while ongoing maintenance will be a line item in the Sheriff’s budget. The Commission met with Cavalier County Tax Director Steph Bata. Bata reported that the values of the all taxable par-

cels within Cavalier County fell within the state required percentage, with the parcels being set between 95 to 100 percent of their total taxable value. Bata also discussed the new farm exemption requirements with the commissioners. The changes will need to be noted by those who want to file, and the Tax Director's office will be sending out explanations at a later date. The Commission discussed the hiring of a part-time deputy auditor with Gellner. Gellner explained that the start date for the new deputy will need to be moved up by about two months. The commissioners gave approval for the hiring process for the new deputy to begin with a start date of Nov. 1. In Other Business • Cavalier County Weed Officer Leon Pederson announced his resignation to the weed board at a meeting held on August 19. • Cavalier County Clerk of Court Anita Beauchamp informed the Commission that the state had approved the district court prosecuting for the City of Munich. Cavalier County Sheriff Greg Fetsch stated that because the City of Munich is only asking for the enforcement of their ordinances and nothing more, no additional contract is needed for the Sheriff’s Department. The commissioners approved the court contract.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”- Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix September is Suicide Awareness Month. Communities across this country have or will experience this type of loss. It’s one of the more impactful events that can occur within a community as the loss is felt by many, even beyond that person’s social circle. This sphere of influence results from a story that ends too soon. The reasons for suicide? Hopelessness, basically- that deep, dark pit where the light of rational thought cannot reach. The why or the how that pit forms is important, but it is also not the whole story. Within literature, there is something called a plot diagram. This outlines the rising action that propels the story towards its climax which is then followed by the falling action that ties the loose ends and brings closure. I mention this because the worst stories are those that suddenly end. Life may not have a set plot line for everyone. Some events that could be considered the climax for one person are still rising action for others. And for some, the story of their life goes through several revisions, where a person “restarts” their life. Plot twists, as well, will

appear in everyday life. Surprise! Plot twist! Comparing the real world to that of fictional writing may seem, at best, naive and, at worst, a simplification of a very difficult subject. But it doesn’t have to be. After all, writers know a bit about story arches. To bring my naïvety and simplification to an even more fundamental level, writer’s block is frustrating. It drives you to want to end the entire thing, throw it all away, and never write again. Nothing works- there is no hope that it will rectify itself, nothing can be done to save that story. Someone notices that you are having problems with your story or you talk to someone to try and find a way. Either way, you tell them. They listen. Somehow that small chat starts a chain of chats that begin a new thought process. You keep talking; they keep listening. You work on the story. You find a way to make it more like what you want. The story of you continues. So, I say this to those who are in that dark place where light cannot seem to shine and the future seems bleak. Don’t cut your story short. Part of this is finding an inner light and using that sense of self preservation to find a way. After all, nobody likes cliffhangers. Never be afraid to ask someone if you think they are at risk.

A generation of zombies... There’s been a lot of talk lately about how lifestyles have changed in just one generation. Technology is becoming so advanced, we’re almost living in the age of the Jetsons. A robot will vacuum your floor, an electric tube on your counter will tell you the distance from Wahpeton to Devils Lake, you can keep up on the weather just by looking at your refrigerator, Siri will talk to you in an Australian accent, and we have Smart phones that could probably combine grain with the right app. In recent weeks, I’ve discovered Apple Car Play that when connected to your car stereo through a USB cord, your iPhone or android becomes the home screen of the car stereo. Keep in mind, I started out with a manual typewriter and listened to the little transistor radios. I’m not very tech savvy so this stuff

is quite thrilling. However, it takes a lot of time, but it sure has made things a lot more convenient, especially when we are driving down the road. “Siri, where is the nearest Tim Horton’s donut shop?” The response, “There are two of them, one on Fourth Street in Estevan and one on 12th Avenue North in Minot (pronounced 'Minute'.)” It not only tells you where these donut shops are located but displays a map of how to get there, the distance, the speed limit, obstacles, construction zones and the whole ball of wax. It will even give you an alternate route. These things are really slick and educational and can make our lives a lot easier, just like the Internet did after Al Gore invented it. What’s happening, though, is some young people are using Internet, smart phones and texting to do 100 percent of their communicating. Add to that, the game apps that are available on smart phones, and players become anti-social. Have you ever been walking down the street or in a mall and somebody bumps into you because they are texting and aren’t watching where they are going? Most of the time, you won’t get an apology; the person will just go back to reading their text messages with their head down while they walk away. There are others who work in retail who absolutely refuse to make eye contact or say thank you for the purchase. They don’t realize how important small talk is. Talking about the weather is so cliche, but there are other subjects that add humor and make a conversation memorable. A couple of weeks ago, I was watching a Rockies/Dodgers game on TV, and I noticed people sitting behind home plate oblivious to what is going on out in the field because they were buried in their mobile phones. Those tickets behind

home plate cost $50 or more, and if I was paying $50 to watch a baseball game, that’s exactly what I would do unless it was an emergency. I need to throw in a clarification here because not every young person is like that. Some are, and that’s who we have to be concerned with. As a matter of fact, I have two farm employees this summer; they’re both millenials, and they are working as hard as I’ve ever worked, and it appears they are doing a better job than I’ve done. I’ve always been taught to lead by example, but here these two are, setting the bar higher than I’ve ever set it. They text and Facetime and all that jazz, but they are discreet about it. They’re both very intelligent, handle conversation very well and put their phones down when something important happens. They restore hope in society because it is a real disappointment when you encounter somebody and they don’t say a word, they don’t make an expression, they don’t even acknowledge your presence even though they just bumped in to you in the shopping center mall. How do we get those people to change and become productive members of society? As time goes on, those lives are going to become more challenging because business, entertainment, college, a job- all need communications skills and without them, people are going to struggle. The new buzz phrase is “there’s an app for that.” Perhaps, but those apps aren’t going to replace human interaction. They’re not going to do your talking and your thinking for you. Neither is the computer. Like they used to say when computers were just becoming popular, “Garbage in garbage out.” We may have created a generation of zombies here simply because of the lack of social and communication skills. I wish them luck finding a career path.

Roger “Bill” Worth

A Celebration of Life was held on Thursday, August 22 at Boulger Funeral home in Fargo for Roger “Bill” Worth, who passed away Thursday, August 15, surrounded by his family at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo. Bill was born May 23, 1941 in Casper, Wyo. to Eula and Uhlan Reichstein. At age three he was adopted by B. Worth and lived on a cattle ranch in Wheatland, Wyo. In 1958 he graduated from New Castle, Wyoming, High School. From 1959 – 1968, he served in the Air Force stationed in Fairbanks, Ala. Following his service in 1968, he was chief investigator/manager for the Montgomery Ward catalog department covering six states and

200 catalog stores. In 1969, he joined Morrison Knudsen and in 1970 transferred to the mechanical department at the MSR site in Nekoma, where he met his soon to be wife, Cynthia. On March 24, 1972 he married Cynthia Waltz, and in 1974 he started Worth Construction where his first job was at the Ember Steakhouse and Lounge in Langdon. He and Cynthia added two children to their family, Emmett in 1982 (Castle Rock, Colo.) and Carolyn in 1984 (Langdon). In 1993 the family relocated to Fargo where he continued his business. In 1994, he was the lead engineer for the Cowlitz river dam and hydro-electric power plant in Washington. Worth Construction completed work in 27 of the 50 states. Throughout the years he developed a love of adventure with his family. His passion has always been fishing and he and his son, Emmett, went on many trips over the years. He dropped

a line in California, Nevada, Alaska, Minnesota, Canada, Colorado and the list goes on. He and his daughter, Carrie, loved to climb with summits of Mt. Rainier in Washington, hiking in the shadow of Mt. McKinley in Alaska and ultimately Everest Base Camp at the age of 71. He and his wife have been married 47 years and loved to cruise the open seas with stops in the Caribbean, Alaska and Europe. Bill is survived by wife Cynthia, son Emmett Worth (Elizabeth), daughter Carolyn Endres (Matt), daughter Cherie Taggart (Tim), five grandchildren Felicity and Isla Worth, Ivy and Ella Endres and Corrie Siler (Ronald). He has two great- grandchildren Cheyenne and Dalton Siler. Boulger Funeral Home & Celebration of Life Center, Fargo was in charge of arrangements.

Idella Doreen Kuchar A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Langdon for Idella Doreen Kuchar, 85, of Edmore, who passed away Tuesday, August 13, 2019, at her winter home in Weslaco, Texas. Burial was at St. Edward’s Catholic Cemetery, Nekoma. Idella was born July 14, 1934, to Bernard and Lena (Domres) Sperling on the family farm in Dresden Township. She grew up in that area and graduated from Nekoma High School in 1952. Despite meeting her soul mate after high school, Idella moved to and worked in Grand Forks for a short time before attending Teachers College in Mayville, where she earned her teacher certificate. From there, she moved back and took a teaching job in a small country school near Nekoma. On April 12, 1958, she was united in marriage to her soul mate, Raymond Kuchar, in Nekoma, and then made their home on a farm near Edmore. They raised their family and worked the farm together until they retired. They moved to Devils Lake, for some time then returned to Edmore. She and Ray enjoyed their summers in North Dakota and their winters in Weslaco, Texas. She enjoyed planting a large garden every summer and then canning and freezing the vegetables. She was also an avid baker. Her children, and later her grandchildren, could always count on tasty treats such as buns, donuts, pies, cookies, cakes, caramel pull-a-parts and a variety of Christmas goodies. Several of her grandkids enjoyed helping her and now can carry on her craft. Her fa-

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Amy Chamber Anderson of United Methodist Church

My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God. My sole occupation is love. -John of the Cross, 1586 My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love! 1 John 4:7-12 I see people taking stands all the time on opposite sides of issues. And I respect their stances... even when different than my own. When I see these differences of opinion within the Church (universal), I often step back and watch the bickering and feuding between opposing sides and wonder where the witness has gone that portrays and exhibits the love of Christ we are called to be. Founder of Methodism, John Wesley, said, “Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion?” I believe it is so important as Christians that we portray an overwhelming love of God that Jesus Christ exemplified to all. Jesus Christ would NOT care if you are white, black, brown, yellow, red, or alien green. Jesus Christ would NOT care what kind of house you live in or your living arrangements. Jesus Christ would

NOT care if you drive a car, a motorcycle, bicycle, tricycle, ride in a wheelchair, the transit, a bus, or walk on your own 2 feet. Jesus Christ would NOT care if you are a man, woman, or child. And Jesus Christ would NOT care if you are gay, straight, transgender, or have yet to find yourself. What Jesus Christ WOULD care about is you...wholly and completely. Jesus would care first and foremost if you know that you are loved- unconditionally. Jesus would care if you have food, clothes, a roof over your head, and good health. If you have needs, Jesus would care about meeting all your needs, according to his riches and glory. Jesus would care if you have entered into a personal relationship with him as your Savior. And Jesus would care if you have met his father...THE Father. Because I have a personal relationship with God, I want you to as well. Because I care about God, I care about you as well. And because I love God, I love you as well. Why? Because God loved me first! I encourage you to look at the world through the eyes of God. And if you need a guide for how to do this, make it a spiritual exercise to begin each day with the prayer Saint Francis of Assisi: "Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy. O divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it’s in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen”

The Assembly of God Church of Walhalla has announced the planned construction of a community activity center. The decision to build a center was a result of a meeting earlier this year of the church board of directors; the board identified a community center as a pressing need for the youth of Walhalla. Through discussion and prayer, it was determined that the church should address this need by the construction of a community center. Following the decision, the board appointed a building committee to determine the design of the building, type of construction and the cost of the structure. On June 23, after several months of planning, the building committee presented the final construction plan and projected costs to members of the Walhalla Assembly of God Church for approval to proceed with the project. The members present voted unanimously to use existing church

building funds to begin construction on the center this summer. The building funds will cover approximately one-half of the estimated building costs with the balance to be raised through pledges from individual church members, fundraising activities and grants. The community center will be attached to the existing Assembly of God Church and is proposed as a two story facility measuring 56’x60’x18’. The center would provide the opportunity for the youth of the community to play basketball, volleyball and other sports

year round. The center will also have classrooms and a game room for activities such as foosball and pool. Although the focus of the center will be on the youth of Walhalla, the facility will also welcome programs for other members of the community. Ground excavation will start on Aug. 19 with the official ground breaking ceremony scheduled for Sept. 8 at 1:30 p.m. to be proceeded by a 12:30 p.m. potluck lunch at the church. Members of the Walhalla community and surrounding areas are invited to attend.

Erickson to perform at Pioneer Machinery Show Sept. 8 A passion for old time music prompted Cathy Erickson to begin her entertainment career on New Year’s Eve at a little bar in Middle River, Minn. in 1975. Since then she has taken her music throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Arizona, Iowa, Wisconsin, Canada, and on a Caribbean cruise. Throughout the years, the faces behind the instruments might have changed, but the music has not. Growing up on a farm near Waubun, Minnesota, Cathy’s parents played a great part in her love for music, especially waltzes and polkas and good old-fashioned pop/swing tunes and country. With a German/Czech/Swedish heritage, there were plenty of ethnic melodies to learn and play. These tunes continue to become part of her repertoire today. And having a “supportive husband like Virgil” made a musical career possible. Sharing her music at dances, weddings, funerals, county fairs, special events, polka services at different churches throughout the area, and with residents at nurs-

ing homes and group homes has also become an important part of Cathy’s musical career. Three of the Erickson’s six children have shared the stage with their mother ; Sheila (alto sax), Mary Jo (vocals and alto sax), and Andy (drums). Mary Jo continues to share her love of music with her mom. Sharing gospel music through ecumenical church services and Polka Masses for the past 40 years has brought joy to those attending. For some it is a new experience, and for others, they return for more. Cathy and her husband, Virgil, continue to farm near Holt, Minnesota, with three sons, and Cathy continues to share her music, along with her daughter, Mary Jo, and drummer Pat Callahan from East Grand Forks. Cathy will perform Sunday, September 8th at the 26th annual Pioneer Machinery Show on the Pembina County Museum grounds west of Cavalier, ND. She will be conducting the church service at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at St. Anthony’s Church.

Northern Lights Arts Council partnered with ArtOrg to bring the Thousand Print Summer art event to Langdon on Saturday, August 17. The event was well attended with both young and old creating their own image to be printed via a steamroller. The concept was first done by ArtOrg acting director David Machacek over a decade ago. It gained steam and is now being used to introduce a new creative process all around the region. Photos by Melissa Anderson.

Researched by Dennis Throndset Hello, sports fans! Welcome back to some Cavalier County sports history! I’m hoping everyone had a great summer and your favorite baseball team still has chances of making the playoffs! With summer baseball over for the kids and the golf leagues getting over, it is time to get back to school-sponsored sports activities and the excitement that it brings. We will begin our fall content with a look at the results of some of the football openers for the Cardinals in the past twenty-five years. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals are the defending champions of North Dakota Class A football, and the area wishes them the best as they attempt to make it two in a row! 1994 – Fifty-one players responded to Coach Dennis Kary’s call to the gridiron in the fall of 1994. The roster was filled with size, speed, and experience. The 1993 team was riddled with injuries, and, as a result, finished with a 3-6 record. The 1994 Cardinals had 18 seniors on the roster and was beginning its second year of the Langdon-Munich co-op and the first with the Border Central School.

The opponent for the first game was the Midway-Fordville-LankinMinto co-op. The Cards got off to an early lead when Kirk Greenwood scored on a 3-yard run. The extra point conversion was no good, and the Cards led, 6-0. On the next possession, junior Bob Pfeifer tallied on a 5-yard scamper. Jon Kram kicked the extra point for a 13-0 lead. Just before the intermission, quarterback Grant Skibicki of MFLM hit Troy Machovsky on a 30-yard pass for six. Skibicki passed to Brian Dauksavage for two conversion points, and the half ended with the Cards leading 13-8. After a scoreless third quarter, Marshal Platz hit paydirt on a short run early in the final quarter. Again, the conversion was stopped. L - 19, MFLM - 8. With little time left, Skibicki tossed another pass to Machovsky for a TD. It was a 60-yard pass and run play. Tom Demers caught a Skibicki pass for the two-point conversion. L - 19, MFLM - 16. The Cardinals were victorious in their opener of the 1994 football season. No game statistics were available for the press. 1999 – This year would see the Cardinals facing the Cavalier Tornadoes in the season opener. The Cards had taken the Tornadoes into overtime in the 1997 meeting of the two teams, but Cavalier was a big

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Cardinals football ranked preseason #1 in North Dakota We begin this week with the very good news that the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals high school football team is ranked number one in a preseason poll released by the North Dakota Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. The Cards, defending Class A 11 Man State Champions, got 10 out of possible 12 first place votes in the poll, which is the first ever done in the preseason for high school football by this media organization. Oakes is rated second in the poll followed by Thompson, who received the other two first place nods. Both the Tornadoes and the Tommies are moving up from the 9 Man ranks this season. Velva is ranked fourth, followed by a tie for fifth the Minot Ryan and Bowman County. Again, the Cardinals began their season Aug. 23 at home versus Northern Cass, and will hit the road to take on Rugby on Aug. 30. In the preseason 9 Man poll, New Rockford-Sheyenne is ranked first, followed by Napoleon-GackleStreeter, Ray-Powers Lake, Richland and Cavalier is ranked fifth. Both NR-S Rockets and Tornadoes are the same Region 2 this year, as is St. John, who received votes but not quite enough to get into the top five. If these preseason polls mean anything, it should be a heck of a year for high school football for our area. Ramberg ranked fourth in first Cross Country Poll Langdon-Edmore-Munich senior Elise Ramberg has been ranked fourth in the first North Dakota Class B Girls Cross Country Poll of

the season. Elise, who is a 2-time all-stater, is part of a Cardinals program that hopes to reach some big goals this year, as both the girls and boys teams return a lot of talented runners. Neither team is ranked in the top five in the polls, but they hope to change that as the season goes along. Also a shout out to Hunter Denault of Pembina County North, who was ranked fifth in the Class B Boys Individual Poll. Langdon Country Club in Men's League Playoffs While Men's and Women's league golf is done for the regular season, the Tuesday Night Men's League has reached the playoffs. Eight teams from the early and late shifts are vying for the title once again this year, and unfortunately me and my partner Russ Stremick did not reach the postseason this season. As the playoffs progress, we will let you know who is in the title match. Men's League secretary Randy Hill also tells us that the league points have been distributed (the yellow slips), and can be picked up at the clubhouse, then reinvested. Tuesday Men's Stag Nights will continue at the course for around the next month and a half, so there is lots of time for you to get out and enjoy to late season swings. Fall Sports Preview in this issue We will leave you this time around by reminding you to check out the Republican's annual "Fall Sports Previes", which features preview for all Cardinals fall sports teams, plus schedules and a visit with each coach. A big thanks go out to the many sponsors that make this special section of the paper possible, and we hope you all enjoy it. Happy Labor Day Weekend Aug. 30-Sept. 2, and "See ya!" next week!

Cavalier County Republican

Cavalier County Sports History winner in 1998. The Cards’ roster totaled 41 players, but the writeup on the game was rather sketchy. Cavalier scored in the first quarter and converted the extra points for an early 8-0 lead. Late in the first half, Jeremy Dinius scored on a reverse 12-yard run to get the Cards on the scoreboard. The conversion was missed. C 8, L 6. The Cards scored again in the third quarter, but the Tornadoes had three second-half touchdowns. The final score was Cavalier 32, Langdon 12. 2004 – The Cardinals hosted the Tornadoes in the 2004 game. Cavalier brought a wealth of talent despite losing a number of starters to graduation. Starting quarterback Tim Oksendahl returned to lead the Pembina County team. The Cards received a shock on the opening kickoff when Robert Mahar took the ball 88-yards to the house. Matt Anderson, who later would play for NDSU, tacked on the two-point conversion. C - 8, L - 0. The Tornadoes then proceeded to score three more first-half touchdowns before the Cards could get on the board. Anderson had two rushing TDs from 14- and 55-yards, and Oksendahl had a score on a 9-yard run. C - 28, L - 0. Midway through the second quarter, sophomore Drew Wold scored on a 10-yard run. The score was set up by a Zach Schaefer-to-Jon Granlund 26-yard pass. The XP was no good. C - 28, L - 6. Prior to halftime, Mahar scored on another 88-yard kickoff return and Oksendahl had a 2-yard run for a score. Halftime - C - 41, L - 6. The only score in the second half was a 6-yard run for a TD by Matt Anderson. Coach Kary was please with some aspects of the game including the defensive performance by Justin Downs. From his defensive line position, Downs was in Oksendahl’s face for much of the evening. He was a big part of Langdon’s ability to hold the Tornadoes’ passing game at bay. Final Score - Cavalier 47, Langdon 6. 2009 – In late August of 2009, the Cardinals hosted the Turtle Mountain Community High School Braves. Jon Dinius thrilled the Cardinal faithful when he took the opening kickoff 88 yards for a quick score. The conversion failed. The Braves responded quickly as Dexter Davis hit Shawn Martell for a 39-yard score to tie the game at 6-6. Following a couple of long runs by Dinius, Dylan Crockett hit Travis Beck with a 31-yard pass for a score. Crockett ran the conversion in, and

the Cards led 14-6. In the second quarter, Dinius scored on a 71-yard run with Trevor Schill scoring the conversion. Halftime - Langdon 22, TMCHS - 6. Dinius tacked on two more TDs in the third quarter on runs of 22- and 66-yards. LangdonMunich 36, TMCHS 6. In the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, the Braves scored twice. One on a 1-yard run by Vivier and another on a 2-yard run by Davis. Final Score: Langdon-Munich 36, TMCHS 22. Whether the big win against Turtle Mountain was inspiring to the students or not, six more players showed up for practice the following Monday. With these additions, the team was nearing the number of players needed to play a junior varsity schedule with other schools. That opportunity had been missing the past couple of years. 2014 – After falling to the Braves the last two years, the LangdonMunich Cardinals were anxious to play Turtle Mountain in their first game on August 28, 2014. It was a home game for the Cards, and the first half was a defensive battle...UNTIL, freshman lineman Conner Tetrault put pressure on the Braves’ quarterback, Stacy Davis. This pressure caused Davis to throw an errant pass which Chase Rohde picked off from his defensive position and ran it in for a 21-yard touchdown! Chase Peebles ran in the conversion, and the Cards led 8-0. The Braves had a short possession and had to give the ball back to the Cards. Freshman QB Jacob Delvo completed a pass to freshman receiver Justin Kruk, and Kruk took it to the end zone for a 44-yard score. The conversion was unsuccessful, and the Cards led at the half - 14-0. After a scoreless third quarter, the Braves scored their only touchdown of the game when Stacy Davis ran it in from four yards out. The extra point attempt was not good. The defenses controlled the remainder of the game, and the final score was 14-6 in favor of the Cardinals! 2018 – In the fall of 2018, 23 players made the decision to play football for the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals. Graduation had taken a number of experienced players from the roster. There were some very good young players returning, but there were concerns in a number of areas. Four all-state players and a number of all-region players were gone. Would the returning players have the drive and skills to do well in 2018? As they had in 2017, the Cardinals would

begin their season against Class AA Lisbon Broncos; this time in Langdon. The game began quite well for the young Cardinals as they forced a three and out on the Broncos’ first possession. A few plays after gaining possession, a Simon Romfo screen pass to Alex Lowery for 46 yards turned into a touchdown. The extra point attempt was no good. After a long pass completion for the Broncos, a one-yard run by quarterback Jordan Sours tied the score at six. Following the Lisbon touchdown, Simon Romfo ran the kickoff back 75 yards for another score. The conversion was good as Simon passed to his twin brother, Grant, for the two points. Score - LE-M - 14, Lis - 8. Late in the first half, Grant Romfo finished off a nice drive with a 2-yard run for a touchdown. The extra point attempt was no good, and the Cards led 20-8. To end the first half scoring, Sours scored again for Lisbon - this time on a 74-yard fumble return. They completed a pass for the two-point conversion. Halftime LEM - 20, Lis - 16. After a scoreless third quarter, both teams scored two touchdowns in the final period. Schultz, for Lisbon, started the scoring by dashing 50 yards for a score early in the fourth quarter. The XP conversion was no good. L-E-M still led, 32-22. Then, Simon Romfo passed to Alex Lowery for a 47-yard TD. The XP kick was no good. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 38, Lisbon 22. The final Cardinal score came later in the final period when Grant Romfo ran it in from 21 yards. The extra point was kicked by Simon Romfo. Cards 45, Broncos 22. The final score of the game was a TD by Kolby Rasmussen on a 19-yard pass from Sours. The XP failed, and the final score ended 45-28 in favor of the Cardinals. As it turned out, the game was the first win of many in the undefeated season! As you finish reading this column, most of you will know how the Cardinals did in their first game of the 2019 season on Friday, August 23. Please read the insert in this week’s paper for all the rosters and schedules for cross country, volleyball, and football for the 2019 fall season. Get out and support the Cards because the size and the volume of the crowd adds so much to the spirit and determination of the sports teams!

Brush with the Bunch

“Where are your paintings hanging?“ Mary Ellen Kirking has answered my plea for help on this series, thank you, Mary Ellen. In Mary Ellen‘s words is the following: “My cousin, Pam, hosted a reunion at her home in Breckenridge, Minn. While there I noticed the sunflower theme in her bathroom. The Pentagon. I came home thinking about painting a picture for her as a thank you gift; how do you give someone a painting when you are not certain it will appeal to them? I hesitate to give away any of my work unless someone is drawn to it. I did hesitate, but then I found this sunflower picture. I made an oil painting from it and mailed it to Pam. It is hanging in her dining room. I think it appealed to her.“ It certainly must have. Thanks, Mary Ellen, for the great article. Which fine Brush Bunch member is next with an article? You must have a painting hanging somewhere in the good old U.S.of A. or Canada? Quiz? Virginia is the home of the world's largest office building, which is? Answer hidden within this article.

Anitha Chirumamilla Ag & Natural Resources Agent Cavalier County Extension

Malting barley germination will be lost if the allowable storage time is exceeded. Malting barley needs special care when drying and storing it, according to North Dakota State University Extension grain drying expert Ken Hellevang. “Malting barley germination will be lost if the allowable storage time is exceeded,” he says. “For example, the germination will be lost in about 30 days if 17% moisture barley is stored at 70 degrees.” The allowable storage time (AST) is cumulative, so if the barley is stored for 15 days at 17% moisture and then dried to 13% moisture, the remaining allowable storage time is only 135 days, rather than the 270 days of storage time if the barley had dried to 13% before harvest. Germination will be lost before mold growth is visible. Malting barley germination also will be lost if adequate airflow is not provided to barley being dried by natural-air or low-temperature drying so that it is dried within the allowable storage time, according to Hellevang, Extension agricultural engineer. The minimum recommended airflow rates and drying times to dry the barley within the allowable storage time are 1.25 cubic feet per minute per bushel (cfm/bu) to dry 18% moisture barley in about 16 days, just barely shorter than the AST of 18 days; 1 cfm/bu to dry 17% moisture barley in about 19 days, just barely shorter than the AST of 25 days; and 0.75 cfm/bu to dry up to 16% moisture barley in about 23 days, less than the AST of about 50 days, based on typical Au-

gust weather conditions.

midity by about 10% and the bar-

“Drying occurs in a zone that moves from the bottom of the bin to the top if the air is pushed up through the barley,” Hellevang says. “Grain at the top will stay near the initial moisture content until the drying zone reaches the top of the grain, so adequate airflow to dry the barley within its allowable storage time is critical.” Use a fan selection program or table, such as one available from NDSU Extension, to determine whether you have adequate airflow. For more information, go to NDSU’s grain drying, handling and storage website (https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/graindrying). You also can have the fan supplier verify the airflow rate. The time required to complete drying and the allowable storage time will be longer at cooler temperatures because the cooler air holds less moisture. Drying grain at 60 degrees will take about 30% longer than it does at 70 degrees. Adding supplemental heat to a natural-air drying system will reduce the moisture content of the grain but only reduces the drying time slightly. Warming the air by 5 degrees will reduce the relative hu-

ley moisture content by about 1.5 percentage points. The air normally will be warmed 3 to 5 degrees by the fan operating at a static pressure of about 5 to 6 inches associated with drying barley, so typically, little additional heat is needed. Adding more heat than is required results in the barley being dried to a moisture content lower than desired. The equilibrium moisture content for barley is about 12% at 70 F and 60% relative humidity, which are average conditions for August. North Dakota’s September air conditions of 58 F and 70% relative humidity will be 63 F and 60% relative humidity if the fan heats the air 5 degrees. This air will dry barley to about 12% moisture content. Hellevang also recommends limiting the plenum temperature in a high-temperature dryer to a maximum of 110 F when drying malting barley to maintain germination.

Planting unlabeled cover crop seed could be costly Planting cover crops is increasing in popularity each year, and this is not surprising considering the benefits. However, those potential benefits will be quickly negated by the use of untested or unlabeled seed says Jason Goltz, North Dakota State Seed Department regulatory programs manager. North Dakota seed law requires that all agricultural seed offered for sale, or sold for planting purposes, must be labeled. Proper labeling requires seed testing and without proof of testing, there is the potential for planting seed that will not germinate or planting seed contaminated with weed seed that may take years to control or eradicate. “If you are buying seed that has no available label or the label is promised in the mail, it is not a legal sale,” says Goltz. Another concern when purchas-

ing seed for cover crop use is to ensure the seed meets all intellectual property rights protections, warns the ND State Seed Department. For example, most rye in North Dakota can be sold “variety not stated”. The exception, is ND Dylan. A North Dakota State University developed variety, ND Dylan is protected under the Plant Variety Protection Act and Title V of the Federal Seed Act. This means ND Dylan must be sold by variety name as a class of certified seed. Illegal sales of a protected variety can result in fines up to $10,000 per occurrence. Goltz concludes, “Taking full advantage of the benefits of cover crops depends on the quality of the seed. Be sure to purchase legal seed that has been properly tested and labeled.” Visit https://www.nd.gov/seed for more information on North Dakota’s seed laws.

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. Harvest permits were added to the agenda at 9:30 a.m. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried.

There was discussion on the board members for the Social Services zone board. Nick Moser made a motion to appoint Stanley Dick, David Zeis, and Amy Kram to the board, seconded by Greg Goodman, motion carried. Hosting the zone was also discussed. Stanley Dick stated he felt the county should move forward and agree to hosting being the state would most likely force Cavalier County to host, and the zone would be able to move forward with implementing the zone agreement and plan.

A roll call vote was taken with all voting in favor. Greg Goodman made a motion for the zone board compensation to be $50 per meeting, plus mileage, motion carried. The preliminary county budget was reviewed. There was a long discussion with the employees in attendance regarding various aspects of the salary comparison. It was reiterated that the comparison was not complete, and many factors would need to be considered before anything is implemented. The commissioners reiterated that any salary adjustments put into the preliminary budget were not final and that they only guaranteed all employees would receive a 3% increase, the rest of the adjustments would be looked at before finalizing the budget. There was discussion on waiting to implement any adjustments until next year, which would give more time to look at the concerns that were discussed. Greg Goodman made a motion to levy 37 mills for County General for the estimated statements, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. The commissioners also confirmed the NDSU Extension levy would be decreased to 1 mill and the Weed levy to 2 mills. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the budget with one change to the Auditor’s Office budget to reflect the 2.5/day

week position, seconded by Nick Moser. A roll call vote was taken, with all voting in favor. There was discussion on an extended vacation for one of the roadmen. The commissioners felt the other operators would be able to cover the district and were in agreement to approve up to 30 days.

Page 14 – Monday, August 26, 2019

By Rita Maisel

Several topics were running through my mind including the fact that I wanted to write something about Harvey Sand, who passed away recently. I have known Harvey most of my life, and whether we agreed on everything or not, considered him a friend. I expect I first knew him through his friendship with my next door neighbors. who were his classmates and went to the same church he did. However, I got to know Harvey better in the 1990s when he was the treasurer for the Lebanon Cemetery Board. Also serving on the board at that time were George Plummer, Warren Waind, Neil Heck, Dick Eklof and one of my neighbors, Adam Symons. Adam was the sexton for the cemetery, and when people came to town searching for a long ago ancestor’s grave, those visitors would look up Adam for information. If the request came in letter form, Adam would show me the letter and suggest I answer it for him. He knew I was part of the group who had spent years on cemetery records, sometimes borrowing his books in the process. It was not a

total surprise when the board asked me to sit in on their meeting one evening and do some secretarial work for them. The problem was finances, and in Harvey’s words they were “eating their seed corn”. More funds were spent on paying for mowing than were coming in from contributions or sale of lots. They would like to write to the descendants of the people buried there and ask them for contributions, but they needed help with locating family members who might donate to the cause. The cemeteries where my relatives are buried all had plans to cover ongoing expenses. Some places charged an annual fee, some asked for contributions, and some had a perpetual care agreement which went with the sale of new lots. The Lebanon board wanted to combine voluntary contributions with perpetual care and the result became the Cemetery Improvement Fund. By the time that fund was established, some of the original board members were older and in fragile health. The project itself, in a way, revitalized the board. It had not occurred to the members that the task of folding and stuffing the envelopes or putting on stamps for mailing would be a shared activity. As the first responses were returned the bank balance benefited and so did their spirits.

Cavalier County Republican

Langdon Long Ago

The word “improvement” led to cemetery visitors suggesting changes in the landscaping, repairing the old gate (now gone), installing a new entrance and after the 2005 storm, replacing trees. The original board remained friends, and new members took over the duties as others passed away. Harvey might have been still serving in the legislature when he passed on the books to others. Younger board members continue to oversee the grounds and make improvements. Yes, they still welcome voluntary contributions. A letter from Dick Hamann arrived about the same time as news of Harvey Sand’s death. Dick is now 93 and during the last winter was quite ill and in the hospital. Not knowing if he would recover, he spent some of his hospital time writing down his thoughts on a variety of issues. He saw some things differently than he had imagined them when writing a book about the life and death of his son, John, who died in 2002. In some cases, he thought he needed to forgive people who had treated him badly over the years; in other cases he was very grateful for people who had been important in his life and that he had loved dearly. Sending me some of these thoughts sent me to the shelf at the library where two of

Dick’s books are located, and I believe there may still be copies available for purchase in the Langdon community. While both of us grew up and went to school in Langdon, I did not know Dick Hamann until we began working on the Langdon Centennial Book, and later, neighbors were involved in a big Hamann Reunion at their farm so being interested in local genealogy, we got better acquainted. Dick grew up on his grandparents' homestead (am not sure if the land was originally his grandmother’s or his grandfather’s as their land was side by side) and writes about the hard times of the Depression in the 1930s, the hard physical work of farming with horses and later tractors, custom combining, and life in Cavalier County down through the years. He signed up for the Peace Corps and went overseas where he met Lina who may have brought him the most joy of all. It is understandable that they pinned their hopes and dreams on their children, Leah and John. Dick’s first book was Hauling the Biggest Load. The title is a term derived from his work in the threshing fields. He and friends worked hard to have the biggest load on their wagons as they lined up next to the threshing machines. The subtitle for this book was about the personal journey through grief and the loss of their son. John died in an accident not too far from their home. This was a tragedy that could have destroyed the last years of their life and does still mark the way they live. One major outcome was that Dick suffered from the physical symptoms of grief that are not always treatable but are very real and sometimes lead to the death of

the grieving person. Fortunately, the symptoms lessened, and after a time, life went on. The family had to actively find a way to remember John. The solution became not a shrine as some families might set up but one room at their house with John’s collection of souvenirs and pictures which reminds them daily of his joy in life and the things he loved to do – a whole lifetime of memories reminding them to smile as they remember him. His next book, which was smaller, was written a few years later and contains thoughts about grieving for his son, John, and people who have shared their own grief stories with him. In a community with many deaths in recent years, both books are worth your time, and I suspect Dick and his wife, Lina, would be pleased to hear from long ago readers. I was reading Dick’s letter around the same date as the 60th anniversary of my mother’s death from cancer in 1959. We had known for more than seven years that her illness was terminal, and the first verdict from her surgeon was that she would die the fall after her first diagnosis and surgery. We rode the greyhound bus home, and she went back to work. With 19 more trips to Rochester, many experimental procedures, some of which are now obsolete, she worked until about two months before her death- seven and a half years later. We were prepared for her death but not prepared for the grieving that normal people go through. I found reading Dick’s stories to be insightful and am glad he shared his thoughts with me and mentioned I could share them with readers. If the story helps you, call and tell him so.
