Sarles Community Pool re-opens after renovations The community of Sarles, in the northwest corner of the county, is a stone’s throw away from the Canadian border. The small population, however, has done big things to make the border town a more hospitable place to live for its residents thanks to the recent renovation and re-opening of the Sarles community pool.

“The board had been contemplating for a few years what the best way to would be to address some of the repairs that needed to be done.

The pad around the pool was heaving and cracked.

The walls were starting to crack, and the concrete started to crumble,” said Sarles Park Board member Kristy McDonald. “We had been doing some temporary fixes, but the board decided something big needed to be done or we needed to close the pool."

Sarles can boast of being the smallest town with a swimming pool, thanks to former residents Mr. and Mrs. A.H Plummer. Although this was a private pool built for their son who was born

Licensed to grow: Industrial Hemp in North Dakota

with a back condition, the Plummers wished to have the entire community enjoy it as well. They began the project of building in the early spring of 1953, and it was completed in July that same year. In the beginning, the volunteer help came from the American Legion Auxiliary members and other women in the community.

The Plummers turned ownership of the pool over to the city of Sarles in 1967. It now belongs to the Sarles Park District. The

board made many improvements in the 1980’s including: a new wall, a chain link fence with wind guard liner, solar heating panels, new cement dressing rooms and an up-to-date filtering system. The Sarles pool has not only provided a welcomed recreational activity and a way to beat the heat but has also brought the ability to swim safe-

ly and well through Red Cross certified swimming lessons. In 2016 there were fifty-four children, from not only Sarles but Hannah, Wales, Munich, Rock Lake, Hansboro, Starkweather and Rolla- representing four different counties, partaking in lessons. Despite current agricultural challenges and the past mass exodus from the area in the 80’s and 90’s, the community has continued to support and appreciate the pool.

“The Sarles Pool has not only been a place to swim but has become an iconic institution for the town and surrounding area, something to take pride in and maybe even boast about a bit,” McDonald said.

In July 2017, the board held a community meeting. The meeting began at the deteriorating pool to allow residents and members of the community to see the condition the pool was in with the Sarles Park Board pointing out their major concerns before moving to the Sarles American Legion Hall for community discussion.

2014, pilot programs and research was allowed to be done with quite a few restrictions, but we still did it. We have been doing research since 2015,” LREC Director Randy Mehlhoff said.

With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, commercial hemp production is now allowed.

NDSU has expanded its research to six other research centers, Carrington and Dickinson.

CaNDak to overnight in Langdon

Every summer a common sight on the highways of North Dakota is cyclists. From the locals taking a leisurely ride to the out of stater here to trek across the landscape, cycling has become a big deal.

Formerly known as the Cycling Around North Dakota and Sakakawea Country or CANDISC for short, Cycling Around North Dakota which goes by the acronym “CaNDak” continues the tradition of showcasing North Dakota with a nearly 500-mile tour of the northeast corner of the state and the northwestern edge of Minnesota. CaNDak is in its second year of creation as three communities came togetherVelva, Bishop Ryan and Minot High. These three communities came together and took over for the original CANDISC out of Garrison.

“CaNDak is special because it allows a chance for these riders to experience everything that ND has to offer. Not only do the riders get their miles in, they get some entertainment and a chance to meet old friend and create new friendships all based around that common interest,” Alex Schmaltz, President of CaN-

Dak, said.

The ride takes place annually during the first week of August, and this year’s ride will start and end in Bottineau. This year's route is called “Rockin' the Red Tour” as the cyclists will cross the Red River twice.

“The route is decided by a group of bicyclists and the board in order to maximize both the level of the tour as well as finding the best attractions in the state that our riders would love. This is more of a tourist attraction ride more than anything else,” Schmaltz explained. “It gives our riders from all over the nation and Canada a chance to see what ND really has to offer. We keep this in the back of our minds while planning the route. If you will notice a pattern, we are trying to go clockwise around the state so that every year our riders get a chance to experience all aspects of ND.” Along the planned route, the cyclists will travel through Cavalier County from the west end passing through Rock Lake, Clyde, and Langdon along Highway 5.

Melissa’s Musings

By Melissa Anderson Mental Pre-game The mental pre-game is a very important tool in my “adulting” tool kit. The need to be in control of something is a condition that a lot of people deal with in a world where there is not a lot that can be controlled in absolute terms.

What is mental pre-gaming? It’s the zoning out before a game for athletes, getting into the proper headspace that will allow them to compete to their full potential; the staring into space so common amongst students as they wait to take on a test, presentation or any other number of demands. It’s both a mental vacation and preparation rolled into one as the time ticks by till the task must be completed.

Mental pregaming is the control of one's mind to prepare it for what is to come.

I do this a lot. In fact, many times it appears like I’m doing nothing when in reality I’m deep in my own headspace trying to sort through how to tackle the latest issue. It isn’t just work or mentally demanding tasks that requires the mental pregame. I also utilize this trick when social interaction is required. It’s therapeutic to go through the motions of preparation prior to being thrown into an onslaught of sensory stimulation. If none of that makes

sense, it’s because I didn’t have time to mentally prepare for this musings. Much of this may just be ramblings of thoughts coming together in attempts to be cohesive and make a single lick of sense. Mental pregaming gets you in the game.

Writing, parenthood and life, in general, requires mental pre-gaming, and some of those who exist in those spheres need more time to prepare than others. Some require greater amount of notice while others can be spontaneous.

“Oh, you want me to come to a fill in the blank and do the thing?”

The range of reactions to this are as varied as the people on the planet but generally fall into three categories: the immediate affirmative/ negative, the tentative maybe and the inconclusive yes/no. The level of mental pre-gaming required can play into what response the request gets. For me it's usually an inconclusive yes/no. This response is different from the tentative maybe for one reason and one reason alone, one of the requested things does not require much mental pre-gaming while the other requires a lot. On the one task- not so big a deal, on the other.....how dare you ask me to do this?

When interacting with others ponder this and determine how much mental pre-gaming the person requires. Saves a lot of headache.

Our founding fathers knew knowledge was power when they made “Freedom of Speech” our first amendment.

Now more than ever journalism matters.

Facts matter. Real news matters.

ND State Fair 4-H Competition

Consumer Decision Making Contest

More than 80 4-H youth participated in the Consumer Decision Making Contest at the 2019 North Dakota State Fair in Minot. The contest teaches youth how to make better consumer decisions. The life skills youth learn through consumer decision making helps them to be responsible decision makers as adults. 4-Hers evaluated bicycles, menu items and toothpastes. In addition to placing the four items in each class, they presented oral reasons to judges on why they placed the items in the order they chose. During the Group Think component, each team was given the same scenario and had to work collaboratively within their team to solve the problem. The Group Think judges looked for how well each team worked together and how well they presented their solution. Winning teams and individuals in the junior and senior divisions were honored. The first place senior team will represent North Dakota 4-H in the Consumer Decision Making Contest at the Western National Roundup in Denver, Colorado, in January 2020. Cavalier County Prairie Rose 4-H members Tucker Regner and Marcus Iverson teamed with Morton County 4-H members and placed second in the Senior team division.

Dorothy Ann Peterson Memorial services were held Friday, August 2, 2019, at the Pioneer Lutheran Church of rural Gardar for Dorothy Ann Peterson, age 79, of Grayson, Ga. and formerly from Los Angeles, Calif. but originally from Gardar, who passed away on June 22, 2019, while at Benton House of Grayson, a senior living facility where she had resided for the past year and a half.

Inurnment was at Pioneer Lutheran Cemetery, Gardar, and a Celebration of Her Life followed in the Gardar Lutheran Church Basement.

Dorothy Einarson was born November 21, 1939, in Grafton, the daughter of late Huskuldur and Gudrun Einarson. She was raised and attended school in Gardar, graduating from Gardar High School in 1957. She attended Mayville State University and obtained her teaching certificate in 1958. She later attended beauty school and became a hairdresser in 1960 and worked in the beauty industry for several years. She married Kristjan Harold Peterson on June 18, 1960, in Gardar. After they were married, Kristjan and Dorothy ventured out to Los Angeles, Calif., where they worked and raised their family. She returned to college in the mid 70’s for nursing. She received her Associates Degree in Nursing from Los Angeles Valley College and then completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing Management from University of La Verna, California. She enjoyed being a registered nurse and made many lifelong friends while

working at Panorama Community Hospital in Los Angeles, Calif. She will be fondly remembered for her vibrant spirit, stylish dress, glamorous makeup and flashy jewelry.

She was musically inclined, playing the piano and trombone, and was known to yodel. She loved “Community Doings” in Gardar and was always one of the Gardar Girls! She loved to dance, especially when there was a good band playing. She was an enthusiastic supporter of any performance by her children and grandchildren and LOVED a good party, especially if there was decorating involved. She always had a big smile to share with the ones she loved, friends and family alike, but she loved her family above all and always put their needs before her own. She loved to shop with Sheri, bake with Kristjana, watch TV with Tyler, and color or play bubbles with Brynja. She loved to talk on the phone with Dan and Mike to hear the latest of what was going on with them. She always had a big HUG for Sean.

Dorothy is survived by her children: Michael Peterson, Daniel Peterson, and Sheri (Sean) Maxwell; grandchildren: Kristjana Maxwell, Tyler Maxwell, and Brynja Maxwell; her siblings Evelyn (Kenneth) Holand and Linda Palmer; and sister-in-law Kristine Koehmstedt.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and siblings Elizabeth Einarson and Virginia Tetrault.

Devotions by community pastors

This devotion is submitted by Pastor Justin Schnackenberg of United Methodist Church

For when one considers the universe, can anyone be so simple-minded as not to believe that the Divine is present in everything, pervading, embracing and penetrating it? Gregory of Nyssa There’s a season for everything and a time for every matter under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3.1 There are so many times that I look around me and can’t help but wonder how so many things in this world can seem to be so complex in this world. Everything from plants to animals, both large and small. There is an amazing beauty there. An amazing complexity that science has yet to fully help us understand. Can you think of a time that you have seen something so beautiful that you can’t help but stop and say WOW? Maybe it was a time when you were walking out of your door and happened to notice a beautifully colored hummingbird hovering around the flowers in your flower bed or saw a deer and her fawn either walking through or feeding in your yard. Or maybe it was at some moment when you were driving down the road in the fall when the leaves are changing color with a backdrop of a rising or setting sun. Or the time that you were camping and while sitting by your campfire you glance up to the sky where the only light you can see other than the campfire is all the millions of lights in the night sky. I want you to think of one of those times, to bring yourself back to that moment in your mind and think of the feelings and thoughts you had at that moment in time.

The mystic Gregory of Nyssa poses another question for us relat-

ed to our faith and belief. Gregory is simply asking us in this quote that when you have those moments in your life, how can we not think of just how wonderful our God and creator is and is present in our world? In those moments our pause and awe of what we are seeing and experiencing is a miniature moment of worship and praise of God when we recognize that He is good and at work right there, when we take that breath and say, “Wow look at that!” Those are the moments that we should recognize that God is truly at work in everything and give thanks to God for all He does.

For me personally, when I have one of these moments, where I am taken aback by something that is so beautiful as seeing a forest full of a vast array of colorful leaves in the fall of the year with some matching colors in the sky from the setting sun as the birds of sizes and color fly to and from the trees, I can’t help but to think of how great God is and how God has a perfect timing for everything under the heavens as Ecclesiastes 3 tells us about. That there is a time for the trees to die for a season, before the cold of the winter, just as there is a time for each of us to have both great and amazing times just as much as we have hard and troubling times. In each of those times and moments, good, bad, or indifferent, God is at work, God has a purpose for it, God is embracing it, and God is inserting Himself into it. I challenge you to try and recognize God in each and everything and to believe and give thanks to God for His presence.

Community Sarah Overby Financial Representative for Thrivent Financial Why leveraging an IRA can help you save smarter for retirement Are you confident you have enough saved for retirement? And do you feel like your money choices reflect your faith, heart and habits?

These are challenging questions that may require you to explore your decisions and figure out what, for you and your loved ones, is ultimately enough.

For many, retirement is on the horizon, but they are unclear about how to prepare for it. According to a recent national survey, three in 10 workers report feeling mentally or emotionally stressed about preparing for retirement.1 Yet at the same time, only six in 10 workers say they have saved for retirement and only four in 10 have tried to figure out how much money they’ll need for retirement.2 Working with a financial representative can help you evaluate your savings options. In addition to contributing to an employer-sponsored plan, there are other savings vehicles to help boost your level of income in retirement. An IRA, for example, can provide valuable tax advantages, offer greater growth potential over time and allow for higher contribution limits as you age. Let’s break it down:

Monday, August 5, 2019 – Page 7

Financial Corner with Sarah Tax advantages: If you have a traditional IRA and contribute the maximum each year, you can take advantage of tax-deferred opportunities to help you get closer to your retirement goals. For example, you could potentially lower your adjusted gross income by the amount you contribute. Doing so could mean you have more money available to help you reach your near-term goals.

Growth potential: Contributing to an IRA is an excellent way to leverage the power of compounding.

With the more money you put in, the more your contribution has the potential to grow at an increasing rate, and the more money you ultimately have once you reach retirement.

Higher contribution limits over time: Another benefit of an IRA is it allows for higher contribution limits as you age. Once you’re 50, for example, federal IRA rules stipulate you can contribute beyond the annual limit. These are known as catch-up contributions and can give your savings a big overall boost.

If you’re interested in exploring IRAs, it would be wise to consult a financial representative who can share the options and help you identify what would work best given your unique financial situation.

Planning ahead can lead to greater confidence and a sense of security that you have enough to live the way you want in your retirement.

Post 98 Red Sox finish third at District 5 Tournament

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer The Langdon Post 98 Red Sox American Legion Baseball team entered the 2019 District 5 American Legion Tournament as the number four seed at the tourney played in Hatton July 23-27. In a tournament with several very talented teams, Langdon beat Larimore in the first round 4-2, lost to Park River 6-0 in the winners' bracket game, then came back to beat HattonNorthwood 5-3 and Grafton 10-5 in loser out games before falling to Park River 6-2 in a game to get to the championship. Thompson beat Park River for the District 5 title to advance to the State B American Legion Baseball Tournament in Hazen held July 31-Aug. 4. The Red Sox ended their season with a record of 14-12, which isn't bad considering they started the season losing seven of their first eight games. Hayes Haslekaas completed a nice career for Red Sox baseball, and he is the only player Langdon will lose off this year's team. Here is a recap of their run in the District 5 Tournament: Langdon 4, Larimore 2 In the first game of the tourney on July 23, Larimore got an early jump on the Red Sox - a run scored on a sacrifice fly in the top of the first inning. Langdon got that run back plus one more in the bottom of the inning when Ethan Sampson doubled, followed by a Simon Romfo single. Hayes Haslekaas then brought both runners home with a long single.

After Larimore picked up another run on a Jason Farrel single in the third to tie the game at two, the Red Sox came through with two runs in the fifth inning. Jackson Delvo

Finish season with a 14-12 record

led off the fifth with a single then stole second base. Haslekaas then scored him with another single, and he would also later come across the plate on a Grant Romfo double.

That was enough for Cooper Zimmer, who started the game on the mound for Langdon. He threw six solid innings striking out four batters before giving way to Simon Romfo, who pitched a perfect seventh inning to get the save.

Langdon would get a run back in the top of the fifth, when Ethan Sampson singled by bring home Peyton Ullyott, who had earlier walked.

The Red Sox were within striking distance going into the bottom of the fifth when they committed two errors which allowed the inning to continue long enough for Adam Zavalney to come up and hit his second home run of the game, a three run blast to right field.

Langdon would pick up one more run in the seventh on a Simon Romfo double to score Sampson.

Romfo pitched the game for the Red Sox, striking out four batters while allowing three earned runs. He also led the offense with three hits, while Cooper Zimmer had two.

Monday, August 5, 2019 – Page 9 Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth team wins one, loses two at State

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

The Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth team traveled to the western part of the state to participate in the State Babe Ruth Tournament July 26-30. Their first battle was against LaMoure, the defending state champs, at 3pm on Friday. Strong, gusty winds and unfamiliar artificial turf made for tough playing conditions for both teams.

After battling for 8 innings, LaMoure came away with the win 9-8. On Saturday, the Eagles were up against the tournament host team, the Watford City Walleyes. It was a well-matched game with much more favorable weather conditions, and the Eagles came out on top, 4-3. On Sunday the Eagles faced Casselton in their toughest game against some very strong hitters. The Eagles were on their toes, making many impressive defensive plays, but couldn’t pull off the win, losing 8-2.

For the third year in a row, the Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth team entered the State B Babe Ruth Tournament, held this year in Watford City at Rough Rider Field July 2630. Playing on one of the nicer and newer diamonds in the state, the Eagles lost their first round game on July 26 to LaMoure 9-8 in extra innings on July 26, beat Watford City 4-3 on July 27, then were ousted from the tournament by Casselton in a loser out game on July 28.

The tourney overall was very much an up and down one for the Eagles. Although official box scores were not made available, Langdon led LaMoure 8-1 in the fifth inning on a very windy day in their opening game on some strong pitching

by Jack Romfo. But they took him off the mound in the fifth inning to save him for later in the tournament. LaMoure would take advantage with the help of some of the Ea-

gles' nine errors in the game. They would tie the game and send it to extra innings, where a controversial balk call put a LaMoure runner in scoring position, and he ended up scoring the eventual winning run.

In a loser out game the next day versus the host team, Watford City, it was Langdon who came back late in the game. They trailed the Walleye 3-1 in the fifth inning but fought back with three late runs to when the game.

In their final game with Casselton on July 28, they fell behind 4-0 early, and although they did get two runs on the board, they could not get enough across to get back into the game.

After the tournament, Langdon finished their season with a record of 14-6. The program is already looking forward to next year. While starters Tucker Welsh and Alex Cluchie move up to American Legion Baseball, everyone else on the Eagles is eligible to come back for next year's squad.

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland

Summer Baseball comes to an end While the summer season continues, summer baseball has come to and end for our area. The Langdon Red Sox American Legion Baseball team made to the second to the last day of the District 5 Tournament in Hatton, but lost to Park River in a loser out game to end their season and finish third in the tourney. It was a fun season for the Red Sox though, as they came around from starting the season with a 1-8 record, and ended their year with a mark of 14-12. That's right, they went 13-4 after that rough start.

We tip our cap to Hayes Haslekaas, who has seen his fine Legion Baseball career come to an end. He had an extra year to play this year, and everyone involved in the program is glad he came out to be a team leader. Outside of Hayes, everyone on the Red Sox is back for next years team, and there are high hopes they will take the next step and advance to a State B Tournament next season.

Meanwhile the Langdon Eagles Babe Ruth Baseball team had an up and down appearance in the State B Tournament in Watford City. The Eagles had an 8-1 lead in the fifth inning in the opening round versus LaMoure, but a number of errors on a very windy day allowed for a miracle come back with LaMoure winning 9-8 in extra innings. After that very tough loss the boys did over come a two run deficit to beat Watford City the next day, then lost to Casselton to end their run.

There's nothing for anyone to hang their heads about though, as any state tournament appearance is special, as was this one. And like the Post 98 Red Sox, the Eagles Babe Ruth team loses two players to Legion ball, but everyone else is able to return next year.

Lots of folks are excited about the future of Langdon summer baseball and softball, and well they should be.

Borgen String Tourney and Ladies City Tournament coming Aug 10-11 The Langdon Country Club is con-

Schill goes back-to-back at River Cities Speedway

Twenty cars made up the grid for the Happy Harry’s Bottle Shops WISSOTA Midwest Modified main event on Friday night at River Cities Speedway. The race was brought to yellow on the opening lap after four cars were involved in an incident in turns three and four. Of those involved Jory Berg who was hit in the driver’s side door and nearly rolled over but came to rest on all four tires at the bottom of turn four. Following the red flag for a separate incident, Tyler McClellan and Cole Haugland led the field to green. Haugland jumped into the lead as a gaggle of cars raced for second. Schill, who started sixth, moved into second after a three-wide pass for the lead on McClellan and Jeremy Lizakowski. Haugland had a full straightaway lead, but Schill set his sights on the Brocket driver and reeled him in with two laps to go. The final caution was displayed just as the leaders took the white flag setting up a green-white-checkered finish. On the restart, Schill executed a textbook slide job to take the lead and claim his second consecutive win at the Bullring. By Mike Spieker

Public Notice

Schroeder endowment aims to improve lives of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia Donna Jean (DJ) Schroeder (Nellermoe), ’49, lived an active life. She loved spending time at the lake, gardening, playing cards and photography. She was a CEO, a coach, and directed plays through Bird Cage Theatre in Davenport, North Dakota. When she faced the challenges of dementia later in life, that desire to be active didn’t go away.

In fact, she won the beanbag toss at a retirement and memory care facility in Fargo, North Dakota, the day before she died in March 2017.

DJ’s active lifestyle inspired her late-husband, Darrol Schroeder, ’52, and daughter, Terry Scherling, ’77, to establish an endowment, Improving the Quality of Life for Persons with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, through the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association.

This endowment provides funding for NDSU student and faculty research in a variety of areas directed toward immediately bettering the lives of people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

“We have a real opportunity to help people who are living with Alzheimer’s and dementia today,” Scherling said. “We realize there are many organizations working to find a cure for Alzheimer’s and dementia. My father chose to target the endowment to this particular area of improving quality of life because he felt it was something that could be done today to help people living with the disease, and, actually, by helping the people living with the disease, they’d actually be helping the caretaker as well.”

While establishing the endowment, Scherling and Darrol Schro-

eder wanted to direct research to two areas: nutrition and activities.

“As we learned about the disease, we learned that some individuals don’t remember to eat; other individuals don’t know when to stop eating. Some individuals require assistance in cutting their meat,” Scherling explained. “We looked at the fact that many of the folks were gaining weight; perhaps it would be helpful to take a look at the calorie requirements based on activity level — maybe the activity level could increase, maybe the calories could be better targeted to help them nutritionally.”

The Schroeders met while attending NDSU and were longtime supporters of the university and the Fargo community. DJ, an economics major, pioneered the Fargo publication, The Town Crier, and was CEO of Carlson Travel Agency.

Darrol graduated with a degree in animal husbandry. After retiring from the Air Force, the major general returned to Davenport, North Dakota, to farm and start a crop dusting business. He served as cochair of the Fargo AirSho for more than 20 years and was a founding member of the Fargo Air Museum.

Both served as trustees for the NDSU Foundation. DJ received the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association Heritage Award in 2001.

Darrol received the NDSU Foundation Alumni Achievement Award in 1991 and an honorary doctorate from NDSU in 2008.

Together, the Schroeders established an endowment with the NDSU Foundation to support student scholarships in the early 2000s.

Through conversations with Margaret Fitzgerald, Dean of the College of Human Sciences and Education at NDSU, Scherling and Darrol Schroeder were able to redirect that endowment toward the new endowment. Scherling said she and her dad were inspired to fund research when they noticed a decline in planned activities for residents on weekends.

“There are so many things that students could help with on the weekend — taking people for a walk, for example. Margaret even talked about working with people in horticulture (at NDSU) to look at starting some gardening activities,” Scherling said.

The Improving the Quality of Life for Persons with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease endowmentbased research will start in the Fargo-Moorhead area, but the results could be more far-reaching. Scherling said she expects qualification for the funding to be tied to a report or presentation of the results so that the most people will benefit from the findings.

“We’re thrilled about NDSU taking this project and running with it,” Scherling said, “and look forward to seeing how the quality of life for people with this disease can be improved today.”

The Fargo AirSho will honor its co-founder Darrol Schroeder, who passed away March 3, 2019, at this year’s event July 20 and 21 at the Hector International Airport.

Thinking About Health

Drug prices still rising, relief for patients unlikely

Consumers hoping a couple of recent policy proposals might lower prices for their prescription drugs may be out of luck, at least for now.

Earlier this year the Trump administration had proposed a rule that would have required prescription drug manufacturers to disclose list prices for drugs advertised on TV. Drug makers would have had to tell the public the list price of a 30day supply of any drugs covered under the Medicare and Medicaid programs that cost at least $35 a month.

Some experts argued the rule would not have been very effective because consumers often don’t pay the list price anyway. Discounts and rebates negotiated by pharmacy benefit managers reduce the price, although some insurers may require people with high deductible plans to pay the list price until they meet their deductible.

Almost half of all Americans with a health insurance plan that offers drug coverage must pay a minimum of $1,300 out of pocket for an individual and $2,600 for a family before they reach their deductible and benefits kick in. The administration had argued that showing what the drugs would cost people before their drug benefits took effect was important.

This modest move to transparency in a very opaque industry was a start.

But right after the July 4 weekend, a U.S. District Court judge in Washington, D.C., blocked the Trump

administration from implementing the rule. He sided with a coalition of drug companies including Eli Lilly, Merck, and Amgen and the Association of National Advertisers, which had joined the suit.

Drug companies, it seems, weren’t keen on price transparency.

The judge ruled the government did not have the authority to compel drug companies to disclose their prices.

A few days after the judge’s ruling came another blow to lower pharmaceutical prices. This time the Trump administration killed its own proposal released earlier this year. That proposal had aimed at the pharmacy benefit managers, commonly known as PBMs, the controversial middlemen in the drug pricing chain, hired by insurers to help manage the drug benefits they sell.

The Trump administration’s proposed rule would have made it illegal for drug makers to offer rebates to the PBMs and insurers unless the middlemen passed any savings on to patients in the form of lower co-pays and coinsurance. It would have applied only to Medicare drug plans, not coverage from private insurers.

Proponents hoped it would wipe out incentives the PBMs have for steering patients toward more expensive drugs when cheaper generics are available.

But the Trump administration later had second thoughts, saying that “based on careful analysis and thorough consideration, the President has decided to withdraw the rebate rule.” Washington insiders believed that drug makers would pocket the

money they saved if they no longer offered rebates. That, in turn, might prompt insurers to raise premiums for Medicare’s drug coverage.

The finger points once again at drug companies that are fighting hard to make sure another proposal – one that would tie Medicare payments for some drugs to prices people in other countries pay – goes nowhere. A survey by the consulting firm PwC noted that drug company executives found this proposal the “most concerning” idea on the table because it really has potential for lowering prices.

What about reimporting cheaper drugs from Canada? That idea is popular with the public but not with the FDA or the drug companies.

In the meantime, drug prices keep rising.

Analysts at Wells Fargo & Co. say drug makers are getting “aggressive” in their price hikes again and have raised the price of medicines by 27 percent on average in June. An analysis by Rx Savings Solutions, an industry consultant, reports that so far this year some 3,400 drugs have experienced a price hike averaging 10.5 percent, about five times the rate of inflation.

It boils down to patients versus the moneyed interests, and so far patients are losing. Patients will continue to struggle paying for their medicines while profits for all the pharmaceutical system’s players continue to stack up.

NDSU Extension Notes

Soybean aphids Photo: Venkat Chapara, LREC, NDSU We are excited to share that Transform WG insecticide and Closer SC insecticide with Isoclast™ active have received an expanded Federal EPA registration.

The new registration will offer you and your customers another tool to control destructive insects.

Eight new crops, such as corn, sorghum and alfalfa, are included on the expanded label, which also restores the previously labeled use for soybean and cotton.

With a distinct chemistry and mode of action, Isoclast active selectively controls sap-feeding insects without disrupting beneficial insects that help limit aphids and other pests. The distinctive chemistry of Isoclast offers both systemic and translaminar activity, providing excellent residual control of aphids and several other sap-feeding insects through both contact and ingestion.

Isoclast active does not flare

With effective control at low use rates, Transform WG and Closer SC insecticides are a cost-effective treatment option. The short re-entry preharvest interval allows growers to get back in the field with minimal downtime.

Isoclast active products are the only Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Group 4C insecticides on the market, an effective resistance management option for soybean growers. A favorable environmental profile is an additional benefit of Transform WG and Closer SC. Farmers and retailers should check with their individual state regulatory agency to confirm that Transform WG insecticide or Closer SC insecticide is approved for use in their state.

Prairie Fare: Preserve the pick of the season safely

“Be sure to lift the bean plants,” I instructed as I picked string beans.

“There are lots more beans under here.”

“I was going to let them plump up,” my husband said.

“I think most are ready to pick,” I said as I flipped the plant and began plucking the ample numbers of beans hiding in the foliage.

“I’ll go and water plants,” he said.

Note to self: Do not offer too much advice to a husband or anyone else who is helping you harvest beans or other produce. You might lose your help.

I grew up gardening and helping with food preservation. Gardening was a new adventure for my spouse when we got married. He has turned out to have a green thumb. He’s also very innovative and has built gardening boxes and threaded dripirrigation hoses around our garden beds.

If he takes care of watering, I guess I can pick the green beans by myself.

Many vegetable crops are in season, and others will be coming our way. That means we should think about using the fruits and vegetables of the season or preserving them to enjoy later.

We can preserve foods by canning, freezing, fermenting, drying, pickling and making jams/jellies.

If you never have preserved foods, freezing and making jellies are good options to start.

Freezing usually requires a “blanching” step, where you steam or boil the food for a short time to inactivate natural enzymes in the plant that can lead to off-flavors or colors during frozen storage. See NDSU Extension’s “Food Freezing Guide” to learn more about freezing almost any kind of vegetable or fruit.

Safety comes first, especially if you decide to preserve foods in jars.

Remember: You are a scientist when you are preserving food. The methods provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Center for Home Food Preservation have been tested in laboratories to ensure that the products are safe and taste good.

When I see the food preservation advice being shared on social media, I cringe. Some of the advice is a recipe for potential botulism, which is a particularly dangerous form of foodborne illness. In fact, botulism can be fatal and has been associated with food improperly canned at home.

If your friends tell you about “easier” ways to preserve food, please note that oven canning, dishwasher canning and “sun canning” are not safe. Proper equipment is widely available in numerous retail stores and online.

In fact, even some of the late-night infomercial canning devices that are being sold do not pass the safety test.

Be sure to follow only current guidelines for canning food. In the case of home-canned green beans, you must use a pressure canner for safety. A pressure canner increases the temperature to the point where spores (inactive forms of bacteria) are killed.

Pickling recipes are canned in a boiling water-bath canner, so the pickled green bean recipe provided with this column is safe to process in a water-bath canner because of the added vinegar. We also recommend a brief water-bath canning treatment for jellies and jams.

Here are some general rules for safe canning: • Invest in a scale to weigh produce because many research-tested recipes use weights instead of household measures.

• Use a pressure canner and current U.S. Department of Agriculture processing guidelines to can lowacid foods, such as vegetables, meats and many mixtures of foods.

• Acidify tomatoes with the recommended amount of bottled lemon juice or citric acid prior to canning (1 tablespoon, or Tbsp., of bottled lemon juice per pint of tomatoes; 2 Tbsp. per quart). Be sure to process the tomatoes for the recommended time.

• Use research-tested salsa recipes and do not alter ingredient proportions. Adding more onions and peppers, for example, changes the acidity. If you create your own salsa and want to preserve it, freezing it is the safest option.

• If you buy seasoning packets to make salsa or other foods for canning, follow the instructions for the amounts of ingredients, such as peppers and onions, to add. Do not add extra ingredients unless you plan to refrigerate or freeze the recipe.

• Seal jams and jellies with a regular canning lid (not wax) and process in a boiling water-bath canner for five to 10 minutes, depending on altitude.

Free food preservation resources (canning, pickling, making jams and jellies, drying, freezing) are available at http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/food.

By Rita Maisel

The Best in the West Over the years a surprising number of Cavalier County residents have opened a forgotten trunk, found something unusual in the back of a cupboard or found an old box of pictures with a rolled-up photo of a crowd of people standing on the steps of a capitol or university far from home. The front row of the group photographed are sitting on chairs and holding on to a banner with the words “The Best in the West” in big letters. On other photos a prominent spot is reserved for the band that accompanied them. Seven of these historic photos are displayed at the Cavalier County Museum at Dresden, and over the years they have generated hundreds of questions from visitors who study the faces and mention “this looks like my grandpa.” They could be right.

While working on the Langdon Centennial book, people would bring in copies of these pictures so

Jumping in

we knew it was an important part of Langdon history. Initially we did try to find lists of the travelers.

What we found were stories, but the information was not complete enough to include in the book, so a compromise was reached. One of the long pictures was reduced so it would fit along the top of pages 30 and 31 in the centennial book with an abbreviated identification.

Later additional information was compiled for a Langdon Long Ago column on the tours. When people would ask me to repeat the column, I could not remember when it had been written. A whole summer in recent years had been spent trying to index early columns saved in scrapbooks by the late Duane Field only to find that titles I remembered had not survived. The partial index, which we had not printed out at the time, was somewhere in a computer at the library. That listing, when located, gives only the column title and the newspaper date. The actual story, if we could locate it, would have to be found in a bound volume of papers with that date. History involves a lot of trial and error plus some legwork. We recently found a tour story from Oc-

Cavalier County Republican

Langdon Long Ago

tober 14, 1985. The earlier reports it had been written from dated to the 1920s and apparently were written by B. E. Groom, who was editor of the Cavalier County Republican from 1912 until 1925, and helped to promote and lead the tours. The wording of the 1985 story uses the vocabulary of B. E. Groom’s writing which is still fun to read.

Mr. Groom began with, “They carried a large banner proclaiming them “The Best in the West” and traveled on specially chartered trains composed of sleeping cars, day coaches and baggage facilities while enjoying what, for some, was the first view they had of Winnipeg, the Twin Cities or Duluth. Officially the trips were known as the Farmers Tours and from 300 to 600 people took part in them each June from 1923 through 1927.”

Note: Museum visitors told us tours had as many as 800 participants, and because they did not notice any duplication in the seven pictures displayed there might have been additional tours. Both on behalf of Cavalier County and the Greater North Dakota Association which he also represented for many years, Mr. Groom also led delega-

tions to Chicago during this era and on through later years. He is also remembered for leading local groups to many of the early Winter Shows at Valley City.

The tour idea originated with County Agent W. L. Johns and B. E. Groom who felt that local famers would be better farmers if they had an opportunity to observe farming methods elsewhere. This spread to include following the crops to market, visiting dairy and creamery operations, mills, grain markets, packing houses, factories, mines, universities and government buildings. Whether wives and teenagers were included the first year or not has been forgotten, but from 1924 on there were special features for both as a part of the tours.

The 1924 trip is recalled as having visited Grand Forks, Fargo and Wahpeton. In 1925 Winnipeg was their destination with many having their first escalator rides while shopping at Eaton’s and Hudson Bay. Visitors to Winnipeg recalled that meals were served at the Fort Garry Hotel across from the depot and that much of the sightseeing in downtown Winnipeg was done on foot.

The 1926 tour visited the Twin Cities where they brought back pictures reportedly taken from sightseeing streetcars on Hennepin Avenue, visited many of the large mills, picnicked in the parks and had their picture taken on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Note: One of the many memories that comes into most conversations about the tours is that of a local couple who had hoped to get away on their honeymoon undetected and were spotted by tour members who saw to it that their marriage got off to a rousing start before the train reached its destination. Their story in the Langdon book lists their marriage as 1926.

Newspapers in 1927 listed 650 people from all parts of Cavalier County who were accommodated by a fleet of fourteen sightseeing buses on their tour of Duluth, cruised Lake Superior by boat, dancing to the tunes provided by the Milton Band which accompanied them, and liked the experience so well that many of them returned in the evening for the moonlight cruise.

Note: Members of the 1927 tour included a group of young ladies, recent high school graduates, who

had received tickets for the tour as graduation gifts. Add to this the Milton Band and a good time was had by all.

Another highlight at Duluth was visiting the steel mills and then the factories which turned that same steel into barb wire and some 3 million nails per day. At Bemidji they visited the park now famous for its replica of Paul Bunyan and were the guests of the local Chamber of Commerce who later reported that the North Dakota dirt farmers and their wives consumed over 500 pounds of Bemidji pike at a fish fry in the park. They got their first view of the process of turning sugar beets into sugar at Crookston. At several points, local citizens loaned them cars so they could visit experimental farms, dairies and greenhouses.

At the universities they had classes in new or improved farming methods, home economics, horticulture and poultry raising.

Most of the tours lasted four days, and the total cost per person ranged from $11 to $14.25 for railroad fares, sleeping accommodations and sightseeing excursion fees. Meals, when not provided as a complimentary feature by local organizations, were extra. Their special train would remain parked at the depot while they were sightseeing so they could use the sleeping cars and have a place for their baggage during the day.

Each year a group picture was taken, and many people brought the pictures home as a souvenir of their trip. The one in the Langdon book has the photographer and his address so we assume that must be the picture for 1925 although the faces are too small to identify today.

Other souvenirs were china plates, mugs, sets of salt and pepper shakers, or an ash tray with identified scenes from the city visited. Box cameras were not plentiful until the next decade, but some did bring snapshots of family or friends taken at a tourist stop. Almost everyone purchased post cards at the various sites. Most sent them to their friends and family. The postage stamps were primarily of the 1 cent variety – a bargain in any era. They also brought home many memories of special experiences which remained undiminished by the passing years. And those who heard their stories continue to pass them on to the current generations.
