It has been a headline on repeat for the past few weeks across the nation – mass shooting occurs. As schools in North Dakota return, the fear of “what if” is on the minds of many. In Cavalier County, the three schools and the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department are being proactive in their efforts to keep students safe and the schools in session. A.L.I.C.E. is one proactive approach to an active threat in the building. A.L.I.C.E. stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. Every officer at the Sheriff’s Department has undergone A.L.I.C.E. training with a few now certified as instructors. The officers have also attended a three day active shooter training that was organized “All this training is for a violent, active shooter at a large gathering of people- like a school, hospital, or large event,” Cavalier County Sheriff Greg Fetsch stated. Langdon Area School District went through active shooter training through A.L.I.C.E along with members of the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department during this past summer and intends to train the staff later on in the school year. Members of the Sheriff’s Department will assist with the training, also. Munich Public School has also participated in this particular training.
“Our teachers have all had A.L.I.C.E. active shooter training. We do hold lockdown drills as well as lockdown/evacuation drills. We hold drills at least twice a year. This is when the measures are reviewed,” Robert Bubach, superintendent and high school principal of Munich Public Schools, stated.

St. Alphonsus Catholic School has an updated crisis plan that covers situations that the new administrator, Carrie Hope, prays that they never have to put into practice. Much like the public schools, students and faculty practice different drills so they are all familiar with what to do if a situation arises. “We keep our school doors locked during the days. We also have surveillance cameras around the school so that I can see all around the school at one time,” Hope shared. “We review
students to ease anxiety and develop preparedness. However, even drills can be a nerve wrecking experience for some despite being necessary to make sure everyone is prepared in case of an event. “We stress to the students that these are just drills to help us be stronger and prepared together,” Hope stated. Through A.L.I.C.E. training, administrations receive protocol for events. Having relationships with the local Sheriff's Department is also very important.
Vaping epidemic suffocating America’s youth News outlets across the nation and locally have reported on the recent statement released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as they investigate a multi-state outbreak of severe pulmonary disease. The believed culprit is the use of e-cigarette products, commonly known as “vaping”, which is the only link in the sudden epidemic that has already resulted in one death. “We are saddened to hear of the first death related to the outbreak of severe lung disease in those who use e-cigarette or “vaping” devices. CDC’s investigation is ongoing. We are working with state and local health departments and FDA to learn the cause or causes of this ongoing outbreak,” Robert R. Redfield, MD, and Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement. “This tragic death in Illinois reinforces the serious risks associated with e-cigarette products. Vaping exposes users to many different substances for which we have little information about related harms – including flavorings, nicotine, cannabinoids, and solvents. CDC has been warning about the identified and potential dangers of e-cigarettes and vaping since these devices first appeared.

Guns, Drugs, and Textbooks: How safe are our schools?

E-cigarettes are not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women, or adults who do not currently use tobacco products.” As of August 27, there have been 215 possible cases of severe pulmonary disease associated with the use of elec-
tronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, products reported by 25 states. The severity of the issue has expanded to include additional pulmonary illnesses in the investigation. North Dakota has joined the list of states as the Department of Health (NDDoH) has received the first report of severe respiratory illness of a patient with a history of vaping or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The most concerning aspect of the epidemic is the potential for who will be affected as vaping and ENDS

usage is highest among teenagers and young adults. “Individuals are discouraged from using vaping and e-cigarette products of any kind as the long-term health impacts are unknown,” said Neil Charvat, director of the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program. “Patients with a history of vaping who are experiencing breathing problems should seek medical care and inform their health care providers of any ENDS use.” The investigation has not identified any specific substance or e-cigarette product, such as the massively popular JUUL brand, that links to all cases. Based on reports from the states affected thus far, the respiratory symptoms associated with this are cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Some patients have also experienced gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea along with non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, fever, or weight loss. The reports have the symptoms varying in development, with some patients experiencing symptoms over a few days and others taking up to several weeks. “As people call in with these reports, we will continue to gather data in an effort to find cont. on page 3
Even with the training and the established relationship with those who serve and protect, when news hits that a shooting has taken place, the administrators at the area schools pause to take in the latest violent event to happen. “Every time an event is on the news, I absolutely think 'what if this happens at my school.' In terms of how I handle it- I realize that one cannot be prepared for every eventuality. A person cannot also be scared all the time. The chances of any event happening in any school are small,” commented Bubach. The LASD administrative team composed of the superintendent Daren Christianson, high school principal Stephanie Hochhalter, and elementary principal Todd Hetler shared that their first thoughts are of the staff, students, and families who are affected by the tragedy. “Our next thoughts are reflecting on what are we currently doing to protect our staff and students? Is there anything we should be doing better?” the administration said. Hope echoed those sentiments, stating that as they learn about different events, St. Alphonsus faculty consider what they would do in that situation, what would be the best plan of action, and how can they prepare if something like that happens at their school. “The important thing is to cont. on page 2
Borchardt brings Greenberg Realty to town The housing market in Cavalier County, and specifically the Langdon area, has been a hot topic for various reasons over the years. Langdon native Abby Borchardt is ready to jump into those waters and assist those looking for a change in their housing situation as she has recently gained her realtor’s license. Borchardt has joined Grand Forksbased Greenberg Realty. “Real estate is something I’ve been interested in for a while. My husband and I have talked about it as a career possibility for me for a number of years and finally decided now was the time,” Borchardt shared. The draw for Borchardt to embark on this voyage of realty is the fact she has “always been curious about homes and the different styles, layouts, etc.”. Her appreciation for residential architecture spans across all eras and their distinct styles. “However, in our area, I’m looking forward to assisting clients in all types of real estate including commercial and agricultural- not just residential,” Borchardt said. Navigating the waters of real-
ty is no easy task for those unfamiliar with the process. As those who have gone through the purchasing or selling of a home know, real estate is truly a different world and can be difficult and overwhelming to navigate. “It can be wise to have someone in your corner who is familiar with the workings of the market,” Borchardt stated. Personal experience of handling the sale and purchase of real estate gave Borchardt insight into how daunting the task can be. Prior to receiving her real estate education and completing the testing this past year, Borchardt and husband Todd had waded into the real estate market when buying homes and residential lots. From the whirlpool of the Grand Forks housing market to the more sedate pace of Langdon, the experiences gave Borchardt a feel for what lay ahead as a fun and exciting time. “We are so happy with our home and neighborhood [in Langdon]. I think there may have been some misconceptions about my being an agent cont. on page 3

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson Information Overload One of the perks of my job at the newspaper is that I can spend a lot of my time making sure that the articles I write are not only accurate with the most up-to-date information but also are thought out to have the most benefit to the reader. Weekly newspapers do not get enough credit for their ability to take current information and give it the chance to grow into something much more useful than just a headline. Most news outlets focus on delivering the most up-to-date news first. The problem with that is it can sometimes be too soon for the information, and it ends up being inaccurate. That is the curse of the 24/7 news networks. Constant news sometimes means inaccurate news. Daily newspapers also tackle this problem. In attempts to make sure that daily news is relevant, the rush to produce content may leave much to be desired in terms of research. On the flip-side of this barrage of information is the weekly newspaper's curse of focusing on one topic only to have it be out-of-date by the
time it gets to readers. The attempts to deliver relevant news is sometimes not possible because of how fast the world is moving in terms of development. Complex topics also require even more thought and research. This leads to information overload. Imagine a funnel that has three or more streams trying to go though itso much is relevant to the flow but only so much can go through. To have the best chance of delivering pertinent and relevant information in the form of a weekly newspaper is having the funnel be narrow enough to have a single focus but wide enough to have relevancy past the first few days of the reports that are sure to come from the constant news sources. For the readers of weekly newspapers, it may seem odd to have a story that is nationally broadcasted constantly remain relevant when handled by a weekly news source. While some articles write themselves, others require more work. Thanks to information overload for me, as the conveyor of the news, the reader of the news will hopefully benefit and make the headache worth it.

Where have all the dairies gone?.. If you live outside of the Bismarck-Mandan area you may not have heard that Bessy’s Best milk is no longer available in Bis-Man grocery stores. Because of “semi retirement,” Blaine and Kathy Goetz decided to no longer offer the dairy’s milk to Bismarck and Mandan retail. When the announcement was made in July, the Goetz family declined media interviews because they aren’t sure what their next step is going to be. The dairy is located at Sterling, 24 miles east of Bismarck, and continues to exist. It is now the only place you can get Bessy’s Best milk, among other things like cheese curds and pizza. In this day and age, most people no longer drink whole milk, but Bessy’s Best whole, chocolate milk has been as much a treat as a chocolate ice cream cone. I’ve never been to the dairy, but whenever I traveled to Bismarck, it wasn’t complete without a stop at Dan’s Super Valu to pick up a gallon or two of Bessy’s Best whole chocolate milk. It’s still available, you just have to go to Sterling to get it. And when you get there and the family is busy milking cows, just take what you need and put the appropriate money in the slot. I don’t really know if that is reality, but a number of people have said it, making it a true honor system

endeavor. Which brings me to a point that I think North Dakota missed a golden opportunity to bolster the dairy industry about 20 years ago when dairy farmers in Quebec were being taxed unfairly. Many of them quit, some moved to other provinces and still others rented out their property but were no longer directly involved in the dairy industry. North Dakota should have dangled a carrot out in front of those Quebec dairy farmers and I would be willing to bet that a number of them would have moved to North Dakota just like the VanBedaf family did. Today, because of tariffs placed on Canada that include dairy, Quebec’s dairy farmers are disgruntled again. It might be a good opportunity to reach out to them and let them know that they could succeed here with fewer regulations, better prices and a stronger dollar. Not only that, there are already a lot of Canadians living in North Dakota, some who speak French, so it wouldn’t be much of a change for them. They could even listen to French radio if they would live along the northern tier of the state. Back in the day, dairies were much smaller than they are today, but were still able to sell milk, cream, butter and cheese. My parents raised a family of six on 10 dairy cows and 160 acres of farmland in Emmons County. Why did it have to change? Why did the milk truck stop coming to so many farms? Why did so many creameries cease operations? It seemed like a simpler time, just 40 years ago, and it didn’t seem like there was any stress of bankruptcy or going broke.
Dear Editor
SERVICE DIRECTORY PUBLISHER AND ADVERTISING MANAGER Lori Peterson
that is also a rarity in today’s world of fat-free and lactose-free milk. If the Goetz’s fully retire, it will continue a negative trend in North Dakota that has been going on for more than 60 years. Dairy farms are disappearing from our state faster than falling stars in the night sky. The state now has 81 dairy farms, led by Morton County with 19, when in 2000, there were 350 in the state and 1940, it is estimated there were 5,000 dairies. We aren’t the lowest on the totem pole but we have now dropped to 35th among all states, which seems ironic given the power of agriculture in this state. What can be done about it? In a recent conversation with North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, he said the Ag Department is constantly working on out-of-state dairies, mainly those in South Dakota, to relocate to North Dakota. So far, it hasn’t been successful, but that doesn’t mean it can’t change. After a large dairy closed near Parshall, a family from Ontario moved to the farm to get the modern dairy back up and running. Unfortunately, that lasted about six months and the family moved back to the Sudbury area where they were originally from. Numerous others have tried and failed. Of course, in 21st Century agriculture, dairies must be at least 400 milk cows or they aren’t going to pay off. Some dairies are pushing 1,000 cows or even more. The only exception is the VanBedaf Dairy at Carrington. This is a family that moved to North Dakota from the Netherlands via Alberta and have been successful in every

To the Editor: The cost of illegal invasion of immigrants is staggering. Maywood, CA, a city of 45,000, went broke in 2010 and fired all of its employees and turned police and fire protection to the county. Half of its population was illegal. Santa Ana, CA, decided to give free breakfast and lunch to all 55,000 students (regardless of whether they qualified) at a cost of $39.6 million annually. Most of the students were Hispanic. A group called the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that illegal aliens cost our taxpayers $113 billion annually. (FAIR includes the cost of US-born children of illegals because their births are the direct result of illegal immigration.) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is issuing a new regulation to overrule a court or-
der (called Flores) that illegal alien children cannot be detained more than 20 days (often called “catch and release”). Many illegals take advantage of the present situation by “renting” children with fake birth certificates or other fake identification to show they are families. The DHS head says 6,000 migrants fraudulently presented themselves as families in just one year. If the move survives legal battles, it will be one of the most important steps toward immigration sanity yet. Contact your U.S. Representative (202-225-2611) and Senators (202224-3121), urging them to back the Trump administration on this, to enforce present immigration laws, and to oppose any new amnesty or guest worker laws. A country that doesn't control its borders is not a sovereign nation. Sincerely, Duane Stahl,Valley City, ND

This is the best time to look for Palmer amaranth: Palmer amaranth is spreading slowly but steadily. Recently it was found in Grant County. The closest it is to our county is Nelson, and it was found in a couple of fields. August and September are excellent months to scout for Palmer amaranth as these can be seen sticking out of crop canopy. The most visible characteristic is the flowering structure that might be 1 to 2 feet long, and mostly nonbranched on Palmer amaranth. Each Palmer amaranth plant is either male or female; the male flowering structure feels soft and sheds pollen, while the female flowering structure feels prickly and contains seed.
Long unbranched flowering heads and long petioles of palmer amaranth
NDSU Extension Notes
The second characteristic to scout for is petiole length, often as long as or longer than the leaf blades, especially on lower leaves. Recently, I got a call from a concerned producer to identify a suspicious looking pigweed in his field. I appreciated his call so much because that is exactly what NDSU Extension and County Weed board has been requesting in case of palmer amaranth. At this point of the season, the seed heads are matured and pulling out a plant for identification might lead to spread of seed all over the field. I visited the field and checked for key characteristics mentioned above to identify the pigweed. Fortunately, it did not fit the characteristics of Palmer and we ruled out that it was not Palmer. But still I was not sure what it was. So, I took some pictures and send them to check with a specialist in Fargo. It was confirmed by Dr. Tom Peters (Extension Sugarbeet Agronomist) as Powell amaranth based on the following characteristics: • Very small fine hairs are found throughout the plant. • Leaf and stem surfaces are rough. • Flowering structure is branched, but less than redroot pigweed and much less than smooth pigweed. • Branches of the flowering
structure are usually 4 to 8 inches long, and thicker than a pencil. Powell amaranth found in a soybean field in Cavalier County Currently, North Dakota is in a position where we can minimize the impact of this weed because it is not widespread like it is in other states. However, to stay ahead of the weed, we need to control what has been found and be very vigilant to not bring more seeds into the state. Farmers, agronomists, and companies need to ask questions, conduct inspections and do whatever is necessary to avoid bringing in contaminated seed, feed or equipment that will spread Palmer amaranth, raise productions costs and reduce yields. For more information on Palmer amaranth, including how to identify it, visit the NDSU website https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/palmeramaranth. If you find a plant you suspect could be Palmer amaranth, please contact me @701-256-2560.
USDA releases details on Market Facilitation program The sign-up period for the 2019 Market Facilitation Program is now open, says Bryon Parman, North Dakota State University Extension agricultural finance specialist. The program provides aid to farmers growing specified crops in the form of a county-wide payment rate as determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The county payment rates were released at the end of July and varied from a minimum of $15 per acre to a maximum of $150 per acre. Many North Dakota counties in the southwestern part of the state will receive the minimum of $15 per acre while the eastern part of the state will have payment rates of up to $60 per acre (Lamoure County). Most of the southeastern counties will receive more than $50 per acre with the average payment rate across North Dakota being $31 per acre. “This year’s program payments are considerably different than last year in both the weights given to each crop and how payment rates for farmers are calculated,” says Parman. Last year, the rate was applied to actual 2018 production where a
rate was chosen and multiplied by the number of head, bushels, tons or hundred weights produced and verified after harvest. It was weighted heavily towards soybeans, with soybeans getting $1.65 per bushel. According to a report by Farm Futures, Cass County received the most money of any county in the U.S. in 2018, having $34.4 million paid out, while Richland and Stutsman counties were both in the top 10 in 2018. This year payments are in dollars per acre and not based on the current year’s crop production. Additionally, the rates have changed, and other crops are included that were not previously. The USDA performs four calculation steps to determine the payment rate. The steps include looking at the typical number of acres in a county of the 2019 specified crops, the yield history at the county level, and the 2019 payment rates per commodity. These calculations are then averaged across the county such that each acre of the specified crops receive the same payment rate. “These county rates may differ dramatically, even for neighboring
counties, i.e. Stutsman County receiving $51 per acre, while Kidder County will receive $29 per acre due the ratio of crop acres receiving a high payment like soybeans, to crops assigned a lower payment rate such as corn (as well as the typical yield for the specified crops),” says Parman. “A county may have more total soybean acres than the neighboring county, however, if the neighboring county has more soybean acres relative to other crops with lower payment rates, then their rate per acre could be higher.” Additionally, crop acres with no payment rate still receive a payment, however, they lower the county average by having a $0 value attached to them. 2019 payments are set to go out in three portions with 50% of the rate being paid out in the first payment. However, counties receiving less than $30 per acre will receive at least $15 during the first round of payments.

Potential applicants that do not wish to apply through the North Dakota Department of Agriculture can request assistance from the Farm Service Agency.
Free produce grower training sessions scheduled The North Dakota Department of Agriculture has scheduled free training sessions for produce growers across the state. “Fruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), and co-management of natural resources and food safety should attend,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Attending a session will satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement that requires at least one supervisor or responsible party on a farm to complete food safety training recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.” The sessions will be held: • Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019 at Dakota College at Bottineau in the Thatcher building, McMaster conference room, 105 Simrall Blvd., Bottineau • Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019 at the Jon L. Wanzek Center for Scouting, 4200 19th Ave. S., Fargo • Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 at the Baymont Inn & Suites, 2611 Old Red Trail, Mandan (one day prior to state local foods conference) • Saturday, May 16, 2020 at the
Bowman Lodge & Convention Center, 207 US-12, Bowman Topics to be covered include: • Introduction to produce safety • Worker health, hygiene and training • Soil amendments • Wildlife, domesticated animals and land use • Agricultural water • Postharvest handling and sanitation • How to develop a farm food safety plan In addition to learning about produce safety best practices, key parts of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements are outlined within each topic. There will be time for questions and discussion, so participants should come prepared to share their experiences and produce safety questions. The sessions are a full day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. There will be a one-hour break for attendees to leave for lunch. To ask questions about either the sessions or the FSMA Produce Safety Rule, please contact Jamie Good, local foods specialist, at 701-3282659 or jgood@nd.gov.

Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said that applications are now being accepted for reimbursement of organic certification costs through the Organic Certification Cost Share Program for fiscal year 2019. “Organic farmers, ranchers, processors and handlers can receive up to $750 of the organic certification costs paid between Oct. 1, 2018 and Sept. 30, 2019,” Goehring said. Certification assures consumers that products are produced by recognized organic methods. Certification enables organic producers and processors to label and sell their products with a federal organic seal. Such products typically command a higher price in the marketplace. Applicants must provide a 2019 cost share application form, a copy of a dated certificate or letter from a certifier verifying certification between Oct. 1, 2018 and Sept. 30, 2019, an itemized statement showing payment between October 1, 2018 and Sept. 30, 2019, and a completed IRS W-9 Form for new applicants.

Janell Karlene (Schafer) Peterson Memorial services were held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Center on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, for Janell Karlene (Schafer) Peterson, who passed away Friday, August 30, 2019, after a 3 ½ year-long battle with cancer. Janell was born in 1953 to Ed and Lois Schafer of Calvin. She grew up on a farm and embodied the virtues of a North Dakota farm girl: generous, hard-working, self-sacrificing. Her family was her greatest delight. After her high school graduation she attended community college in Devils Lake and later completed her Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of North Dakota. She met her husband, William (Bill),
in her first job out of college; they were married on Bill’s birthday in 1979. The couple moved to Center in 1981. For 16 years, she commuted to the Falkirk coal mine near Washburn, where she was a miner and operator, putting her heavy machinery skills acquired on the farm to good use. In 1998 she left Falkirk to begin her second career as City Director in the town of Center. This change allowed her to dedicate her time to her two children, Marnee and Mitch, whom she loved and supported through thick and thin! She also poured herself out in many ways in her community, serving as an EMT on the Falkirk Mine ambulance and rescue squads and the Oliver County Ambulance squad. She was a certified CPR and First Aid instructor and taught classes to many different groups, including first responders, daycare providers, and
the sophomore class at Center High School which she taught annually. She helped organize a blood drive in Center three times each year. She was the recipient of the prestigious EMS Association’s Star of Life Award. She was a very competitive person and fueled her competitiveness with racquetball, trapshooting, softball, cards, and even “Words with Friends”. She won many trapshooting events including multiple ND State Women’s Singles Championships; and with her Center Haag Trucking softball team, she won a Divisional McQuades Championship and also won a State Master’s (Over 35) Championship. She was an avid hunter and fisherman and bagged both the once-in-a-lifetime ND moose and elk trophies. She loved athletics and kept book and scoreboard for the high school basketball and volleyball teams. With

her it was always family first. After her own children, the greatest beneficiaries of her goodness were her siblings and many nieces and nephews. She loved to watch their sporting events, loved to hunt with them, and loved to cook for them (the more the merrier!). She also loved to make quilts, and she loved to travel. Her love for others and her strong Christian faith marked her whole life to the very end. Janell is survived by her husband, Bill, her two children: Sister Star of Evangelization (Marnee) and
Mitch Peterson, her brothers: Barry (Nancy) Schafer and Brett (Janet) Schafer, her sisters: Darci (Brian) Wold and Dara (Kevin) Langerud, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Lois, and her brother, John Schafer. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Oliver County Ambulance of Center. Arrangements with Buehler-Larson Funeral and Cremation Service, Mandan.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, September 7, 2019, at United Methodist Church in Langdon for Jo Ormiston, 79, of rural Nekoma, who passed away peacefully at her home Friday, August 30, 2019, in the presence of family with guidance from hospice care. Suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, Jo was lovingly cared for at home by her husband of 60 years. Interment was at Soper Cemetery, rural Fairdale. Elvina “Jo” Nelson was born December 27, 1939, in Lakota to Elvin and Karen (Berg) Nelson. She grew up in Lakota, graduating from Lakota High School in 1957. She continued her education for a couple years at St. Luke’s in Fargo. While in Fargo, she met Alan, and they were married September 6, 1959, at Lakota Lutheran Church. They spent the first 25 years of their marriage living in Osnabrock Township and then moved to the Oakland farm in Nekoma Township, where they still resided at the time of her passing. She had many hobbies, including tending her flowers and vegetable garden on the farm, with strawberry- and raspberry-picking a highlight. She also enjoyed sewing, doing ceramics, and watching sporting events and school activities, including the Langdon Cardinals and the NDSU Bison. She enjoyed antiquing, going to auction sales, and collecting. She was proud
of her Norwegian heritage and became an excellent cook and baker, and on occasion would remind family that she “didn’t know how to boil water when first married.” She taught piano lessons to many people throughout the years and was a member of the piano teachers association. She also played piano in two churches where she was a member: Soper Presbyterian and Nekoma Presbyterian. She was a member of Ladies Aid, Homemakers Club, Garden Club, and Sewing Club for many years. She frequented the library and sat on the Cavalier County Library board. Surviving Jo are her husband, Alan; children: Susan (Tom) Jaramillo of Centennial, Colo., Doug (Diane) Ormiston of Maple Valley, Wash., Jeff (Lisa) Ormiston of Fairdale, and Barbara Jo (Brian) Kram of Munich; grandchildren: Andy (Christine) Jaramillo, Aaron (Melanie) Jaramillo, Amy Jo Jaramillo, Grant Ormiston, Ashley Jo (Josh) Peterson, McKenzie (Chris) Ormiston, Shea Ormiston, Autumn Ormiston, Kara (Greg) Leopold, Kimberly (Jason) Wirth, and Kathryn (Ken) Carwile; great-grandchildren: Sadie, Hank, Kayla Jo, Lauren, Ashlyn, Kadence, Easton, Rylan, and Skylar, along with many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, and three sisters. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements.

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Don Barsness of Salem Bible Church in Munich
Popeye the Sailor was known to boast, “I y’am what I y’am and that’s all that I y’am!” It was the perfect moniker for a spinach-eating, villain-beating cartoon hero. Gulp down a can of the leafy vegetable, rescue the threatened heroine, and rest in the satisfaction of being who you are. Good job, Popeye! But life is all-too-real. I’d rather eat ice cream than spinach. I often fail to fulfill my responsibilities, let alone my potential. Any consideration of “all that I y’am” can leave me longing for change. I easily identify with the Apostle Paul who wrote about his personal struggles with sin. In the seventh chapter of Romans he says, “as far as my own sinful nature is concerned, I am rotten through and through” (verse 18). Earlier Paul had written, “I really want to do what’s right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate” (verse 15). We sense Paul’s frustration when he exclaims, “Oh, what a miserable person I am!” followed by the question, “Who will free me from this life of sin” (verse 24)? But before we are overwhelmed with disappointment – both the Apostle’s disappointment and our own- we read the next verse. Verse 25 of Romans 8 answers the question Paul has asked in verse twenty-four – “Who will free me from this life of sin?” The rem-
edy to “this life of sin” problem is, “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.” Earlier in his ministry Paul had written, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). When Paul identifies his “rotten through and through” condition in Romans 8, he recognizes the need of a change of nature. This real-life transformation is the work of God in the person who trusts in Jesus Christ for spiritual salvation. More than a renovation or repair of our old nature, this change in our constitution offers satisfaction for the deep longing of the soul. The Bible is not exaggerating as it describes the Christian as a new person, changed in who they are. The Apostle Paul adds this detailed summary in Romans 7:18, “All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to Himself through what Christ did.” Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior from sin and Lord of life brings “newness of life.” At times, my faith waivers in real-life, and I’m still disappointed when I return to old ways of doing things. But there has been a change – a real-life transformation. The pattern of my life is new. God has changed what I’m made of through what Christ did – I have a new nature. I y’am what I y’am! Thanks be to God!

Langdon blood drive brings in 33 volunteers The Langdon community hosted a blood drive with Vitalant, formerly United Blood Services, on Aug. 20 at United Communications which helped collect a total of 35 units of blood products for patients in need. A total of 33 individuals volunteered to donate blood, and 26 individuals were able to donate at the blood drive. A total of nine donors also came forward to donate Power Red Cells (2RBC) which collects two units of red blood cells while returning platelets, plasma and a saline solution back to the donor. Vitalant expressed their gratitude to Mikan Lovcik, who coordinated the drive, and United Communications, which sponsored the blood drive. Vitalant strives to keep a 5-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to be able to meet the needs of patients across the region. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases.
Vitalant is the only blood provider to nearly 70 hospitals across the region. The blood supply is dependent on selfless donations from volunteer donors to ensure the lifesaving needs of the region are met. About 30 percent of Vitalant’s blood supply goes to cancer patients across the region, and one in seven people entering the hospital will need blood. Those relying on blood in the region receive that lifesaving blood from Vitalant. Donors can make a convenient appointment to give blood at www.bloodhero.com or by calling 877-25-VITAL. With each donation, donors receive a free total cholesterol test and earn points in Vitalant’s donors rewards program. The next blood drive at this location is planned to be held on October 21. Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Health History Questionnaire the day they donate on www.vitalant.org.

FM Bank donates to DVAC Farmers and Merchants State Bank of Langdon recently made a $1,000 donation to the Domestic Violence and Abuse Center (DVAC) in Grafton. DVAC serves Cavalier, Pembina and Walsh counties and provides safe housing for women, children and men affected by domestic violence. The safe shelter provides a temporary option until permanent housing can be found. DVAC is facing a significant financial challenge after having an
extremely busy year this past year and incurring costs much higher than normal. New grant funding will not be available until November 2019, and without additional funding, it will be challenging to keep the shelter running until then. Individuals and businesses who would like to support DVAC can send donations to: Domestic Violence and Abuse Center, PO Box 308, Grafton, North Dakota 58237.

VFW Urges Blue Water Veterans to Contact a Service Officer With the legislative and judicial battles seemingly over for the Vietnam War’s so-called ‘’blue water” Navy veterans, the process for them to receive VA compensation is just beginning. VFW National Veterans Service Director Ryan Gallucci said that contacting a VFW service officer should be a common course of action for all blue water veterans af-
fected by Agent Orange exposure. This would include those who have never filed a claim, as well as those who have filed that were granted compensation and stripped of their benefits. “This class of veterans was unjustly and arbitrarily excluded from compensation benefits for nearly 20 years,” VFW National Veterans Service Deputy Director Michael Figlioli said. ‘’We are pleased to see Congress and VA make them whole. VFW looks forward to assisting every one of them who seek our help, which is always free of charge and has no VFW membership requirement attached.” In June, President Donald Trump signed the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019 into law (P.L.1l6-23). It restores VA benefits to Vietnam War blue water sailors (those who served aboard ships off the coast of Vietnam) who had their disability eligibility arbitrarily taken away by VA in 2002. Those veterans also could be eligible for retroactive benefits. The law, which goes into effect in January 2020, requires VA to contact veterans who filed a disability claim that originally was denied. “The VA told us that they are being proactive in reaching out to the veterans who were given benefits then stripped in 2002,” Gallucci said. ‘’However, people will slip through the cracks. VA may not have identified everybody, so it’s important for veterans who believe that they are covered by the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act or the Procopio decision to reach out to a VFW service officer.” Also in June, the Department of Justice decided not to contest a fed-
eral case ruling that paved the way for VA to restore the availability of disability benefits to blue water Navy veterans. In the case of Procopio v. Wilkie, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., ruled that Alfred Procopio Jr., a life member ofVFW Post 6587 in Spring Lake Park, Minn., is eligible for VA disability benefits. The Vietnam War Navy veteran claims his diabetes and prostate cancer diagnosis is linked to Agent Orange exposure off the Vietnamese coast while serving aboard the USS Intrepid in 1964-67. The court’s decision also means that VA can no longer deny disability benefits to eligible blue water Navy veterans. To qualify for Agent Orange-related benefits, a veteran must have one or more of the conditions VA presumes to have been caused by exposure. The 14 presumptive diseases on the list are: • Chronic B-cell Leukemia • Hodgkin’s Disease • Multiple Myeloma • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma • Prostate Cancer • Respiratory Cancers • Soft Tissue Sarcomas • AL Amyloidosis • Chloracne • Diabetes Mellitus Type • Ischemic Heart Disease • Parkinson’s Disease • Early onset Peripheral Neuropathy • Porphyria Cutanea Tarda For help with a disability claim, find a VFW service officer at www. vfw.orgl assistance/va-claims-separation-benefits.

GriefShare starting Sept. 12 in Langdon Community members who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are invited to attend the new GriefShare program starting at the Langdon United Methodist Church on Thursday, September 12. This non-denominational program focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by discussion about what was seen on the DVD. Many grieving people find they are only beginning their grief journey when everyone else thinks they should be back to ‘normal’. Past participants have shared that GriefShare has helped them understand
they are not going crazy and that they can find a ‘new’ normal. Your loss may be recent or not so recent. You will find encouragement, comfort, and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member, or friend. GriefShare will be held on Thursdays starting September 12 and running through December 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Langdon United Methodist Church. You do not need to register ahead of time and may join the group any week. If you need to miss a session- that is not a problem as the week’s video can be viewed during the next GriefShare cycle. A $20 donation is asked to cover the cost of books, but scholarships are available if that is an issue. For more information call 701-370-5711.
Ann Jochim will be celebrating a very special birthday and her family is requesting a card shower. Greetings may be sent to: 4611 E. Brennan Dr. #210 Sioux Falls, SD 57110

FOOTBALL Cards roll the H-N Thunder 40-8 for second win By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals played their first road game of the season when they traveled to Northwood to take on the Hatton-Northwood Thunder on Aug. 30. The Cards overcame some early penalties and won the game going away 40-8, to move their record to 2-0 on the season. The Cardinals are still ranked first in the state in Class A 11 Man Football, and after hosting Park River-Fordville-Lankin on Sept. 6, they will travel to Rugby to play the Panthers on Sept. 13. The game started with the Thunder successfully executing an onside kick and then moved the ball down field near the Cardinals red zone. But Langdon-Edmore-Munich senior linebacker Sid Ullyott perfectly read a pass thrown by the Thunder's Avery Thorgaard and came up with an interception. The Cards took that momen-
tum and went down and scored a 16 yard pass from Simon to Grant Romfo to open the scoring. Grant Romfo would intercept a Thunder pass on their next possession, and he also later scored on a 31 yard scoring scamper. From there the Cardinals ran away with the game. Jackson Delvo made an unreal catch of a rainbow pass from Simon Romfo that came right over his helmet for a TD to end the first quarter. Then Simon Romfo scored twice in the second quarter on touchdown runs of 5 and 76 yards. Peyton Ullyott would cap the scoring with a five yard run in the third quarter, and the Thunder would spoil the shutout with a late fourth quarter touchdown. For the contest Delvo, who was named the Farmers and Merchants State Bank Player of the Game, finished with nine catches for 134 yards, while Simon Romfo competed 18 passes for 231 yards, and he also led the team in rushing with 122 yards, for a rare double-double.

The chill of an early fall and a Friday the 13th birthday We start this week wondering where our summer went. The week ahead looks like we are barely going to make it 60 degrees, while harvest is trying to keep rolling in between rain showers. With the miserable spring we went through a couple of months back, everyone was hoping that we would have late summer season. While it's not over yet, September is off to a chilly start, that's for sure. Also coming this week I celebrate a birthday on Friday the 13th. Yes, I was born under a bad sign, and I will be looking for black cats and staying away from sidewalk cracks all week long. Lady Cards looking forward to their home opener This week will also bring the first home match of the volleyball season for the Langdon-EdmoreMunich Cardinals, as they will host a strong Thompson club on Sept. 12. This will give everyone a chance to see the Lady Cards in action, as they have an equally strong team, and are looking forward to a very fun season. They have some very lofty goals this season, and I'm sure a win over one of their biggest volleyball rivals in the Tommies is one of them. It should be a great match to watch.
Langdon Country Club crowns Tuesday Mens League Champs We say congratulations this week to Scott Stewart and Greg Goodman of Langdon, who won the Tuesday Mens League Golf League playoffs at the Langdon Country Club. Stewart and Goodman defeated Ethen Askvig and Mark Busse for the title, in what we are told was a very competitive match. Congrats to Scott and Greg, and we remind you that the course in Langdon will still be open for at least a month for some late season golfing. And Tuesday Men's Stag Nights are scheduled well into October. Also if you haven't picked up you Men's League winnings (The yellow slips), they are all ready to be used in the clubhouse. Our Fearless Vikings Forecast We will leave you this week with our annual prediction for our Minnesota Vikings. The Vikes begin their season at home versus Atlanta on Sept. 8, and hopes are high once again this year for a successful season. As we say every year, our prediction is a 16-0 record and a Super Bowl title. While that is most likely not all going to come true (Especially the record), we hope the Vikings keep our frustration level low (Also unlikely). Their division is very tough this year, and they also have some extremely challenging interleague road games at the Chargers and the Chiefs. But as always this time of year, hopes are high for every teams fans, and the Vikings are no exception. Skol! "See ya!" next week!

Schill claims feature win, track championship at River Cities Speedway
Lance Schill dominated Friday night’s WISSOTA midwest modified feature at River Cities Speedway. Schill started on the pole and led every lap around the high-banked, three-tenths mile oval en route to his division-leading fifth win of the season. A handful of cautions kept the field bunched up, but Schill powered away from the pack on each and every restart. The win was Schill’s second in a row at River Cities. Schill also locked up his second straight midwest modified track championship by 82 points over Aaron Blacklance. The winning continued on Saturday and Sunday for the Langdon driver at Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush, Minn. Schill swept the action in both his midwest modified and WISSOTA modified on Saturday night, winning his heat and feature wins in both divisions. On Sunday, he capped off the doubleheader with another midwest modified feature win and seventh-place run in his modified. Next up for Schill is the three-night John Seitz Memorial at River Cities Speedway on Sept. 5-7. By Mike Spieker
discourage them from posting what they are doing at their “after school hangout,” especially if they know their parents or other family members will be able to clearly see it. • Have them consider “what ifs.” A question that should be asked to anyone with a social media account is: “If your future employer were to do an online search of you right now, how concerned would you be with what they could find?” If the answer is “Not very,” great! If they pause and think, it may be time to start reviewing the content they share. • Make sure their social media accounts are private. While this cannot guarantee absolute privacy, it can help to prevent strangers from accessing your child’s photos and other information. Any public photos or videos posted online can be easily duplicated and put into any article, news report, poster, etc. • Encourage young adults to use LinkedIn. Social Media is not the enemy. In fact, 37% of employers say they have hired a candidate because their social media reflected the personality of the company. Platforms such as LinkedIn allow employers to
see your child’s past job experiences and current employment goals. • Have regular conversations about social media. Making your child aware of the potential impact a post can have on their future might make them think twice about what they are posting. • Reach out to the Better Business Bureau for resources. If you have questions about ways you can protect yourself online, reach out to BBB. BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota is a not-for-profit organization with more than 7,200 regionally Accredited Businesses.

BBB offers tips for managing your student’s online reputation Talking about the privacy concerns with social media use can seem like beating a dead horse, but with 33% of college admissions officers admitting to viewing applicants’ social media profiles, students and their parents need to know what they’re getting into when they post online. According to a 2018 CareerBuilder survey, 70% of employers regularly use social media to screen job candidates, and 34% of employers reprimanded or fired an employee based on content they found online. Because social media has the potential to have such a large impact on a student’s future, it’s crucial for them to be taught how to manage their online reputation. Here are six simple ways to ensure your student is scrolling for success: • Make your own social media accounts. Parents who are more familiar with their child’s social media platforms are better able to teach what to do and what not to do. Once you make your own account, you can then send a friend request to your child. Because you are then connected to their social media, it will

Fall filled with festivals, football and fun in North Dakota September is a festive month in North Dakota. Summer vacations are wrapping up, the harvest is underway and the weather is ohso-slightly changing. It’s time to celebrate the things that North Dakotans find near and dear – food, football, friends and festivals. The Potato Bowl (potatobowl. org) at UND embraces all the fun
things about fall in North Dakota. This year’s week-long celebration in Grand Forks is Sept. 10-14 and concludes with a football game against Sam Houston State on Saturday. That’s only one of the many festivals in September. Also scheduled: Hazen Harvestfest (ndtourism.com/events/harvestfest-2019) Sept. 4-8; Harvest Festival at Dickinson (ndtourism.com/events/harvest-festival-fall-fun-entire-family) Sept. 13-14; Applefest in Bismarck (ndtourism.com/events/applefest) Sept. 21-22; Autumnfest Parade in Bismarck (ndtourism.com/events/
autumnfest-parade) Aug. 21; Oktoberfest in Mandan (ndtourism. com/events/oktoberfest-mandan) Sept. 28; and the biggest fest of all – Norsk Hostfest in Minot, featuring Chicago, Clint Black and Nordic fun for all (ndtourism.com/events/ norsk-hostfest) Sept. 25-28. Festivals almost always include a blending of cultures and that includes the Native American Hall of Honor Induction Ceremony (ndtourism.com/events/nativeamerican-hall-honor-induction-ceremony) at the North Dakota Heritage Center Sept. 5. That is held in
Ever wonder what happens when a data breach occurs? In the case of a doctor’s office computer that had been hacked, patient names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers (SSN), and insurance information were compromised. Crooks used the information to open credit cards in patient’s names and make purchases. The doctor’s office was not liable because it had paid for a security system to handle its data, and that was where the breakdown occurred. The only way to protect yourself after your identity is stolen is to obtain fraud protection through credit monitoring. The information will continually be sold on the black market and even your medical identity will be used. Protecting medical identity is a burden that falls on the victim. Everything a fraudster needs to commit financial identity theft, your personal data such as your SSN and bank account numbers, sells for about $25.00 on the black market. But stolen health insurance and patient medical records can fetch about $1,000 per person. The greater the potential yield from medical identity theft justifies the higher price. Today’s senior population are particularly vulnerable; medical billing scams cost taxpayers over $60 billion a year. How to protect medical data: • Monitor bank and credit card accounts and insurance-benefit statements for costs that aren’t yours.
• Treat insurance numbers as if they are as valuable as your SSN. • Shred any medial paperwork you don’t need to keep; that includes prescription drug labels. • Avoid sharing information about surgery, medical procedures or visits to specialists on social media.  SMP is Here to Help! ND SMP will help seniors prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud. Things to help you avoid Medicare/healthcare fraud: • Treat your Medicare card like a credit card and don’t share it with strangers. • Check your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) and look for mistakes. • If you need assistance, contact ND SMP. We are here to help you. • For non-Medicare fraud, contact the Consumer Protection Division at the ND Attorney General’s Office at 1-800-472-2600 if you think you have been scammed. The information provided is intended to be a general summary only. Source of information: AARP The Magazine. Real Possibilities. Scam me if you can. August/September 2019.

Identity Theft: A crime that lasts a lifetime
Brush with the Bunch
Virginia Dunnigan, our past president, has answered the call for an article for our series; “Where are your paintings hanging?“ Thanks, Virginia. Next in her words is her article: „Our small art collection in the RMD Office Building contains both paintings and photography. I have four paintings, two of Amy‘s, among such notables as Minot artist Walter Piehl and New York artist Peter Dean. Robert and I have long supported the arts as being essential to quality of life and where all can participate. I have served on both the North Dakota Museum of Art Board of Trustees and the North Dakota Council for the Arts. The skills needed for serving on boards are different from those needed to create art. In 2013 I joined the Brush Bunch and there found the nurturing needed to put brush to canvas. As a final note, Robert and I, as the building owners, were key to my having paintings displayed there. Alas, I am an artist in the making.“ Shown is two of Virginia‘s paintings in her special style which is loved by all of the Brush Bunch members and none of us have tried to duplicate.“ Thanks, Virginia, for the fine article. September 3 is meeting day for the month and also moving day for our alloted spaces for the next period. Have a great fall and God Bless. by Leo Beauchamp
Cavalier County Commission Proceedings August 20, 2019 On August 20, 2019, at 8:30 a.m. the Board of Commissioners of Cavalier County, North Dakota, met at the Cavalier County Courthouse in regular session, with all members present. 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. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager/911 Coordinator, was added to the agenda at 9:50 a.m. Austin Lafrenz made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Nick Moser; motion carried. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Nick Moser; motion carried. The 2020 gravel project on County 33 was discussed. Stanley Dick made a motion to accept the low bid from Mikkelsen Bros. in the amount of $124,200.00, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. David Zeis mentioned that Paul Liebersbach, Nekoma City, had contacted him and informed him that the city had denied Nekoma Elevator’s request for a reduction in taxes for the new fertilizer plant. Crystal Beggs, HR, met with the commissioners by phone and suggested extending the implementation of the timekeeping policy to January 1, 2019, due to the fact that she had not had time to do employee training on the new policy. Stanley Dick made a motion to extend implementation of the policy to January 1, 2019, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Updated salary comparison information was reviewed. The commissioners asked Beggs to remove Adams County from the Sheriff’s Department comparisons, eliminate the 35 hour comparison rate and compare position to position, and also to review the benefit packages. Mark Zimmer and Cassey Breyer, representing Munich City, met with the commissioners regarding the Court Services Contract and the Sheriff’s Department enforcing their new ordinances. Nick Moser made a motion to sign the Court Services Contract, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. The contract was sent to the State Court Administrator to be signed. Greg Fetsch, Sheriff, stated his department would do the policing for Munich to enforce the ordinances. The completion of the courthouse north bathroom update project being funded by a grant through North Central Plan-
ning was discussed. Greg Goodman made a motion to approve the CDBG Project Completion Certification and Final Performance Report, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager//911 Coordinator, met with the commissioners regarding the purchase of radio consoles for the Sheriff’s Department, which is required in order to implement the SIRN 2020 radio system. Kempert stated she had met with the Local Emergency Preparedness Committee which was in agreement with moving forward with purchasing the consoles, as well as using a portion of the Hazardous Materials Fund for a possible grant match on a training exercise. There was discussion on budgeting $10,000/year from the Sheriff’s budget for the maintenance of the consoles and radio equipment. The commissioners were in agreement to purchase two fully wired consoles, based on the minimal cost savings of having one wireless console. Greg Goodman made a motion for Cavalier County to be an early adopter of the SIRN 2020 contract to allow for increased implementation of coverage in the gorge and along the Canadian border, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, met with the commissioners to review a proposed Quit Claim Deed from CCMH and a Lease Agreement for the county’s building in which CCMH stores their ambulances. Stewart pointed out a few changes he felt were needed. The commissioners were in agreement to make the changes and review the Lease Agreement again. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, met with the commissioners and discussed the DOT inspection of the County 55 gravel project. The contractor was going to do more blading before another inspection was done with KLJ. Johnston stated that KLJ was still looking at possible projects for the ND DOT Special Road Fund, which has an application due date of the end of September. Snowplow operators/trucks for the upcoming season were discussed. The commissioners stated they would check with the operators from last season to see if they plan to come back. It was decided not to run a truck in the Langdon District and have the Vang and Osnabrock Districts help cover it. There was discussion regarding the hiring of part-time help in the Auditor’s Office prior to 2020.
conjunction with the United Tribes International Powwow (ndtourism. com/events/50th-annual-unitedtribes-technical-college-international-powwow) Sept. 6-8 in Bismarck. Some get-togethers aren’t known as festivals but bring people together in celebration – like North Dakota State football. The Bison are No. 1 in the FCS, the program was named a top 10 by ESPN and the tailgating before home games in on par with any program in the nation. See for yourself; head to the Fargodome on Sept. 7 (UND) and Sept. 21 (UC Davis). The game against UND will be an annual event beginning this year with UND joining the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020. Is the only sound you want to hear the sound of silence – with an occasional hoot of an owl and or howling of distant coyotes? The Dakota Nights Astronomy Festival (ndtourism.com/events/dakotanights-astronomy-festival) Aug. 30Sept. 1 in Medora is right for you. Adrenaline junkies looking for a rush have options, too. The Maah Daah Hey 150 (ndtourism.com/ events/maah-daah-hey-150) mountain bike race Sept. 21-26 lasts six days and covers 150-plus miles on the legendary trail through the Badlands. If that’s too much, try something “easier,” like running a marathon, either in Bismarck on Sept. 21 (ndtourism.com/events/bismarck-marathon) or Grand Forks on Sept. 27-28 (ndtourism.com/ events/wild-hog-grand-forks-marathon-2019). Finally, let music guide you into fall. Grand Forks’ Greenway Takeover Festival (ndtourism.com/ events/greenway-takeover-festival) starts rocking on Sept. 5 and keeps on rocking through Sept. 8. The genre varies based on the stage and time, with Everclear (“Santa Monica,” “Wonderful”) closing Friday night’s set. Dickinson gets into the act with the Fall Downtown Blues Festival and street fair (ndtourism.com/events/falldowntown-blues-festival) on Sept. 7. Classic rocker Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (www.ndtourism.com/events/bob-seger-silverbullet-band) brings his “Roll Me Away Tour” to the Fargodome on Sept. 14.

Prairie Fare: Victory Garden lessons ring true today
As I grow older, my interest in history continues to increase. When a colleague sent me an article about the World War II-era Victory Gardens, my attention was drawn to the emailed newsletter on my computer screen. Memories were stirred. The 2019 newsletter had been assembled by faculty and students from North Carolina State University. I will share a few of the tidbits I learned, as well as some information from my own exploration. You might recall living through difficult times of war or hearing about it from parents or grandparents. Victory Gardens were launched during World War I to help with the extreme food shortage in Europe. Agricultural fields had become battlegrounds and farm workers were fighting in a war. Food was scarce. Families were encouraged to eat more fruits and vegetables, which were very perishable and difficult to ship. In turn, families were asked to eat less meat, wheat, fat and sugar so these foods could be transported to the soldiers. Although school gardens and children’s gardening research seem
novel in today’s world, the concepts go back more than 100 years. Children played a valuable role in helping grow food. During World War I, 1.5 million children became part of the U.S. “School Garden Army” and 20,000 acres were planted to avoid a food crisis. Schools, 4-H clubs and FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America) clubs became involved in gardening. Teachers taught the scientific concepts of food production and preservation in classrooms. Thinking back, when I was young, my dad and I used to watch a TV show about Victory Gardens on public TV. My dad spent four years overseas during World War II and he probably remembered the Victory Gardens firsthand. Watching those gardening TV shows many years ago probably planted a seed in my mind about a future career in nutrition and a hobby as a gardener. I used to call my dad “Victor Garden” as he watered our backyard garden. He’d look up and grin at his silly kid, who, of course, shared his last name. I was just happy my parents didn’t name me “Rose Garden.” As I think about it, the backyard garden of my childhood home probably had been a Victory Garden during one if not both World Wars. My grandparents had owned
our home, which was built a couple of years before World War I. During the early 1940s, much of the country’s agricultural harvest was shipped overseas to feed soldiers. Railroads were overloaded, steel and tin shortages occurred, and fewer people were available to work in agricultural production. Food ration books were issued during World War II, and Americans could spend their stamps on various food items such as sugar. Recipes were reinvented to substitute other ingredients for the rationed ones. By 1943, an estimated 18 million families were growing Victory Gardens. Educational materials provided background on planting, pest control, preservation and preparing nutritious meals with what was available. Posters beckoned potential gardeners with slogans such as “Plant a Victory Garden. A garden will make your rations go further.” The nationwide Cooperative Extension System was part of the community educational efforts to promote gardening. The gardening plans suggested one-tenth of an acre for each family member and included detailed charts for a variety of vegetables. People know of my interest in food history and anything antique, so I have a stack of “Health for Victory” cookbooks dated 1942 to 1944,
which were companion pieces to the gardening plans. Many of the concepts in those nearly 80-year-old cookbooks ring true today. These are some direct quotes from the book: • “Don’t waste food.” In 1944, the cookbooks said “15% of America’s food gets thrown out in the garbage can.” Unfortunately, in 2019, 40% of the food in the U.S. is wasted. • “Don’t overbuy because food is a bargain. Get only those you can use.” • “Use fresh fruits in season.” • “Plan your meals by the week.” • “Plant a Victory Garden this year, no matter where you live. Beg, borrow or hire some land.” We are at the end of our growing season in the Midwest, but the last point provides some food for thought for next year. Learn about growing food this winter, but try your hand at preserving food this fall, whether you grew the food yourself or purchased it from a store or farmers market. See the NDSU Extension Field to Fork website at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/fieldtofork to view recorded seminars (webinars) from our many experts at NDSU, as well as colleagues from other colleges and universities. The website also provides opportunities to learn about preserving fruits and vegetables through freezing, canning, drying and fermenting.
This colorful, tasty recipe is not from the World War II-era cookbooks I have, but it features peppers and onions that are in season right now. One-pan meals are a time-saving cooking style. One-pan Chicken Fajitas 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts cut into 1/2-inch strips 2 red bell peppers, sliced into strips 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips 1 onion, sliced 3 Tbsp. olive or canola oil 1 packet taco seasoning, reducedsodium 1 lime 12 whole-wheat tortillas Optional toppings: shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare food as directed and place in a bowl. Drizzle oil over chicken, bell peppers and onion. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and toss to coat. Spread contents on greased sheet pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Squeeze lime juice over pan and serve with whole-wheat tortillas. Garnish as desired. Makes 10 servings (one fajita per serving). Without added toppings, each fajita has 280 calories, 9 grams (g) fat, 20 g protein, 27 g carbohydrate, 3 g fiber and 380 milligrams sodium.

Thank You! Year after year birthdays roll around, and if your family makes a big deal of it- you do enjoy opening cards and gifts and eating birthday cake. Like a lot of people my age there was a war on when I would have enjoyed birthday parties, so sugar was rationed so my mother decorated a white box with birthday type trims and candles, and we sang Happy Birthday. If a group was present she took pictures, which were pasted into an album and labeled “Rita’s birthday party”. When I got to college, friends looking at that album wanted to know why I was not on any of the pictures. The truth was

my mother’s little box camera only held film for eight pictures, and all eight (if they turned out) were of my younger cousins and neighbor children who happened to be present and brought presents. This got to be quite a big joke among friends and family. Over the years, I was often working away from home on my birthday, so the years rolled by without major celebrations. Fast forward to more recent history. Sometimes, if a person’s birthday is on Sunday or around that date, the congregation at church sings “Happy Birthday” and asks how old you are (a year older than yesterday). There are times when friends will hand you a card or wish you a 'Happy Birthday' in person. That happened to me this year. A couple of days later a cousin called and mentioned that I must have had quite a celebration this year as she had seen something about

Langdon Long Ago
it on Facebook. I do not do Facebook, and she was not sure what website she had seen it on but tried my brother’s former Facebook site. It had “greetings to Rodney in heaven” sent by someone who must have had Rodney (during his lifetime) as a Facebook friend. The next thought was to try 'Growing up in Langdon', a site Rodney initially loved until younger readers offended him by pointing out his pictures of Langdon High School had to be fake. He was proud of his photography, and younger people were not aware that the windows they remembered had been installed after Rodney graduated. No mention of Rita there either, and not being a Facebook user I have never gotten into the younger alumni site. To make a long story short we realized that birthdays are listed in church bulletins and newsletters, and our church has a website for Facebook users. My cousin found that site and read the names of people near and far sending me birthday greetings. Facebook messages can be shared but only with other Facebook users so do not transmit to my email. However, it is the thought that counts, and I want to thank all those who sent me a birthday greeting. Updates on Research: Kinna, Lindsay, Sandberg history: There is a memory of meeting with visitors from Weyburn, Sask. who hurried to Langdon one Sunday after attending a wedding in Winnipeg, squeezed in a visit at the Dairy Queen and vanished down the road heading to Dresden. I also remember writing about their visit and their search for “the house their family lived in before moving to Saskatchewan in 1900”………famous last words so to speak. They had received a picture of a tombstone in Lebanon Cemetery (they thought it had come from City Hall), and when I saw them, they had already found the cemetery and put flowers on the grave. This week I received a print-out they received from another source which they feel is proof they actually lived here. Personally, I never doubted that, but people homesteading did usually live on their
land rather than in town and many old farmsteads are no longer standing. It is also possible that a house standing in the town of Langdon in 1900 might also be history. Whether that is true or not, they want to come back and see the house, and the implied message with this document is for me to make some inquiries. The original family name was Kinna, a family who had been born in Scotland. William Kinna (one of the several children in the family of Robert and Elizabeth who are also buried here) married Sarah Lindsay, daughter of John Lindsay, also an early homesteader, whose birth place was Ireland. Members of both the Kinna and Lindsay family are buried in Lebanon Cemetery. Because they were stopping by on a Sunday I had given them some notes on the family members and mentioned the Kinna family had more members buried in the same cemetery – in my memory possibly in the same area which they had just visited. Knowing they would be here on a day the library would not be open, the notes included copies of family obituaries with wedding dates and some descendants. I did not know of any current family members still living here who might remember the exact house – a major reason they wanted to come back again. The proof of residency sent is from the 1900 census which does list William and Sarah (Lindsay) Kinna without any indication if they lived in town or on homestead land. What is listed besides the parents are their four oldest children: John E., Viola Elizabeth (died before they left Langdon), William E. and Robert E. newly born with his age given as 0/12. Also listed with them was a hired girl, 16-year-old Annie Buller, born in Nebraska to German parents. The next listing, which might have been the next farm or the next house if in town, is for John H. Sandberg and his wife, Jennie (Kinna) Sandberg, along with their two sons, Edwin and George. The Sandbergs were relatives who did not move to Canada, and along with several children are buried at Lebanon Cemetery. Sandberg land in Elgin Township was still listed in their names in later years. Someone from Elgin Town-
ship might remember where they lived in 1900. But just before the listing of these families is another familiar name: Dougal McDougall (not the spelling on his tombstone), a former resident who in 1900 was single, 20 years old and a boarder at the home of Bert and Anna Carpenter. Dougal’s parents were also from Scotland and very possibly grandchildren still in our area might know where he lived in his early years in Cavalier County. It is worth a try. The questioner is Judy Siwy from Weyburn, and I do have her mailing address but not an email for her. Everett, Kennedy, Piekarski: Another series of requests have come from Jackie Piekarski who lives in International Falls, Minn. (no street address listed) and is sure I had some correspondence with her Auntie Judy at some time in the past about Kennedy ancestry. Her aunt has now died and left all her family history notes to Jackie who wants help sorting them out. If I understand it correctly, her grandmother was a Kennedy who married an Anderson, and her mother’s maiden name was Garson. Her father was also from this area, and his last name was Everett. There are a few clippings in the file under Kennedy, but the first names do not match the information she has given me so far, and my memory is not good enough to recall questions from total strangers I might have corresponded with years ago. I found no clippings at all for other names she had listed as relatives. She has mentioned, more than once, a house fire where a mother and three girls died. If any readers have Kennedy as a surname in their extended lines and might have a connection to International Falls or to that story, you might be able to help her more than I can. Another puzzle with too many pieces missing at the present time. I believe this family might have left the area in the 1920s or 1930s as at least one member of the Kennedy family served with Company E during World War I. The lady requesting help did not give me any information as to where in Cavalier County the family might have lived.
