“Prepared, Not Scared” during National Preparedness Month Across the nation, September is known as National Preparedness Month. It began on Sunday, September 1 and is a month long effort to promote family and community disaster and emergency planning now and throughout the year. The 2019 theme is “Prepared, Not Scared.” “Planning is important in many ways,” Karen Kempert, director of Emergency Management for Cavalier County, said. “You can begin your plan by simply sitting down together and playing 'what if'. ” Kempert goes on to explain that the “what if” could be if the house was on fire and then develop a plan on where you and other members of your family would meet up in that scenario. Another example of “what if” is if there was a tornado- putting a plan in place for your family to be able to check in and how to reach each other. The “what if” game is one way to prepare not only yourself but children in the household. “Having a plan is important when these events occur, especially when it comes to letting others know you’re okay or finding out if others are,” Kempert stressed. “It’s important that the plan is in place and prac-
ticed so that even if you’re away from family, you all know how the plan will work. The more we practice a plan, the more it becomes almost like habit or muscle memory.” Preparing yourself and family for all types of emergencies is very important. Preparedness helps you to increase a personal sense of security and peace of mind and gives you the knowledge that you will be ready in case of an emergency. During the week of September 15 -21, the focus is on teaching youth to be prepare for disasters. Cavalier County, as a whole, is vulnerable to several natural disasters such as winter storms, summer storms, and blizzards, making it a good idea
to plan ahead and make a kit. “Ensure that you have adequate supplies in your home or away to keep warm, comfortable and healthy during events that happen,” Kempert said. A good emergency kit should include: • Food- A good amount to have on hand is a three day sup-

device that has been in service since 1967,” Panzirer said. “Technology has advanced so much, even over the last decade, that these grants allowing for the purchase of advanced x-ray devices will provide incredible benefits for medical workers and their patients for the foreseeable future.” The x-ray machines purchased with the grant funds, one portable and one stationary, provide many advantages to the radiology techs. The portable x-ray allows the techs to go to patients that cannot reach the radiology room. Both machines utilize digital radiology technology, making the entire x-ray process easier and safer for everyone. “With DR I see the image come up immediately. I don’t have to wait. Patients don’t have to wait. It’s less radiation. The image quality is better. A lot of advantages to the digital unit when we are so concerned about radiation exposure,” Bredeson stated. Digital radiology uses x-ray– sensitive plates that directly capture images during the patient examination, immediately transferring it to a computer system where it can be viewed by the radiology tech. The hospital will save money from lower film cost and reduced requirement for storage space. The images are instantly available for distribution to the clinical services without the time and physical effort needcont. on page 2
Hockey Boosters bring gaming to Sporty’s Bar and Grill When there isn’t much to do in a small town, finding ways to entertain yourself can be difficult. Sporty’s Bar and Grill is making efforts to become the meeting place for fun and good times as they expand, bringing in not only space to gather but space for gaming. Sporty’s already had the electronic and regular pull tabs in place but knew that other forms of entertainment could be added. The Langdon Hockey Boosters needed a way to raise money for the hockey program and the arena. The win-win situation brings gaming for Sporty’s customers with the hockey boosters getting the profits from the gaming. “When Sporty’s opened the new side, the opportunity was there for both Sporty’s and the hockey boosters. Johnsons
had requests from customers to get the gaming tables, so the hockey boosters made the decision to jump on board and brought in Blackjack and Pigwheel,” explained Runa Anderson, gaming site manager. T h e gaming is a way for the hockey boosters to bring in money to help with expenses. Because t h e Langd o n Blades are an indep e n d e n t team and not associated with a local school, funding the program requires hard work and dedication. The monetary needs for the Langdon Blades includes paying for the ice, insurance on the arena, utilities, upkeep, cooling and coachesjust to name a few. “It’s pretty much everything to make the hockey program cont. on page 2

Burgum helps dedicate Fargo National Cemetery Gov. Doug Burgum helped dedicate the new Fargo National Cemetery near Harwood, noting it continues North Dakota’s long history of honoring veterans for their military service. “For the second time in our state’s history, we dedicate an eternal resting place as a tribute to the military veterans who have defended our freedom and upheld our most sacred values,” Burgum said. “Fiftysix thousand veterans call North Dakota home, and it’s our responsibility to honor their service and sacrifice – for some, the ultimate sacrifice. We are deeply grateful to the National Cemetery Administration, our congressional delegation and all others who worked to establish the Fargo National Cemetery, which along with the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan will give our veterans the respect and final resting place close to home that they so richly deserve.” With more than 3,000 gravesites, the Fargo National Cemetery is the first Department of Veterans Affairs national cemetery built in North Dakota. It is part of the VA National Cemetery Administration’s Rural Initiative to provide access to VA burial benefits for veterans who live in rural areas and haven’t pre-
viously had reasonable access to a national or state veterans cemetery. North Dakota was one of only 10 states without a national cemetery. Burgum and the state Legislature took several actions this year to support veterans and make North Dakota an even more military-friendly state, including: • Exempting military retirement benefits from state income tax for retired military personnel and their

The Langdon City Commission received good news despite the rain that was falling on the evening of Monday, September 9. Moore Engineering’s Andrew Aakre was present to provide updates on the ongoing construction of Phase II. Aakre informed the Commission that work was progressing at an acceptable rate and believes that Spruce Valley will be able to finish the project by the end of September. Aakre did caution, however, that a lot of the work remaining is weather dependent, and that further rain could delay the final paving. The trees located on the berm of 8th Street were also discussed. Aakre had spoken with the contractor on the removal of the trees prior to the final paving. The contractor would be willing to remove the trees and would reduce the cost by $150 per tree. The commissioners expressed some concern on the removal process that would be used as it could possibly cause further damage to the sidewalk and curb. Aakre will discuss further with the contractor on the removal; it will more than likely be necessary as the trees sustained significant root damage during the construction. Aakre reported that after discussing the curb work with a local contractor, the prospect of having that work completed is also very high. Aakre informed the Commission that the contractor would be willing to come in following the final paving next summer. Aakre will review the areas around the school and park to document them for potential grant applications later this year.
The commissioners reviewed the final budget for the fiscal year of 2020. Langdon City Auditor RoxAnne Hoffarth had completed the budget and presented it with a proposed 2.87 mill increase. The commissioners voted and approved the budget for 2020. A bid was reviewed for the Langdon Activity Center front entry. After discussion, approval was given. The Commission reviewed and approved the request for payment by Dennis Luhmann for paving work he had done at the intersections of the Luhmann addition. In Other Business • The Langdon City Commission wishes to remind residents that building permits should be submitted and approved prior to projects starting. • The commission received an update on the annexation request put forward by Kevin Stein. The area in question has been reviewed and approved for annexation by the Planning and Zoning committee. Langdon City Attorney Quentin Wenzel will work on the next steps of the annexation process. • The city commission approved the purchase of a new fire truck for the Langdon Volunteer Fire Department. The total cost for the fire truck will be $340,592 with delivery occurring in late fall of 2020. • The city was able to contact the owner of a property that is facing condemnation. The owner will review the property with Langdon City Building Inspector Gary Bimler.

Melissa’s Musings By Melissa Anderson National Disconnect A fun game I like to play is how does a state branch of an organization differentiate from the main national organization? It’s a telling thing when a national organization is saying something very adamantly on a nearly weekly basis while the state organization orchestrates “radio silence” on the subject. The disconnect between the national headquarter's prerogatives and what a state branch believes can be amusing and sometimes sad. There are many different ways that a state branch of a national organization can show their disagreement. The most common being a lack of communicating the national message at the state and local level. State published and run information centers will fail to include the national message. Information is a valuable tool that be used by either overloading to the point of not caring anymore or by hindering its release, thereby keeping people in the dark. Information for all and letting each individual decide what they think has been a battle cry for many is something that I definitely support. When organizations limit
opinion or dissent within their own ranks, it shows that differing opinions will not be tolerated. Even when the general consensus is in agreement, having discussion is a good thing. It shows a commitment to growth and development. It shows that the organization is working for everyone when the discussion table is open to all. North Dakota, for a landlocked state in the heart of North America, is actually quite isolated. From trends to politics to development, North Dakota tends to be behind the rest of the country. Many of the rural states fall into this category to varying degrees. Modern media practices and improved delivery of goods has brought the state to a more level playing field with the more populous states, but those transition are still happening slowly. When organizations that have national associations limit the information that they share from that national platform, they are isolating their members. This disservice and, to an extent, attempt at controlling should not be tolerated by members. Can a state organization disagree with the national level? Sure, but it should be the decision of all rather than the few who are in positions of power and reach.

Recognizing those who deserve it… OK, so three Walmarts get shot up or terrorized in a week, some crazy decides he’s going to take out as many people as he can at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, then there’s the Russian dude who decided to see what people’s reactions were if he walked into a Walmart with a loaded AR-15. Reporting the news means who did what, how many fatalities, where and when did this happen, and the biggest question we’re still trying to figure out since Columbine- is why? Ironically, there is heroism at each and every one of these catastrophies including Sandy Hook and Parkland High School. The heroism reminds us of what the United States is supposed to be about- one person helping another in time of need. We often loose track of that and tend to focus on the shysters. Perhaps we should devote more time to the first responders who are making sure more people don’t die during these senseless shootings. We’ll often hear about an off-duty nurse stopping the bleeding or an off-duty cop gunning down the suspect, or, as in the case of the Russian dude in Springfield, Mo., an off-duty firefighter holding him until police arrived. These people, including paramedics, ambulance drivers, trauma doctors and even clergy, who have medical knowledge are
Cavalier County Republican
Upside Down Under there every day on the front lines. It almost reminds us of a MASH hospital. The police are also a spoke, a big spoke, in this wheel. When we, the general public, find out about some of the things our neighborhood cop has gone through today, we have to marvel at the courage of these people to put on their uniform and do it again tomorrow. Of course, this isn’t limited to mass shootings, although when something like that happens, good people simply react, and their reaction is often to help those in jeopardy. Trauma could include auto accidents, farming mishaps, movement to a critical care facility or something similar. Yes, our first responders are special people. Not everyone can do it, but for those who do, we need to thank them for what they do and that they are protecting the public at large. Regardless of what your opinion may be on this, nursing home employees, those who care for the developmentally disabled and special ed teachers are special people in their own right. Have you ever talked to a nurse or CNA who works in a nursing home? Their jobs aren’t gravy, in case you think they are. Hospital nurses get all the glory because we see so many TV shows depicting nurses in big city hospitals. Nursing home employees are largely ignored, and they shouldn’t be. Their work is just as difficult, if not more so. They see and care for residents every day, and when one of those residents passes away, it affects everyone because, let’s face it, it’s an extended family. But like law enforcement, they will put on their uniform tomorrow and do it
all over again. Those who care for the developmentally disabled often have challenges because the human mind can be very unpredictable and not everyone rolls like the general public. As far as special ed teachers, they’ve got a tough job, too, because of some of the lessons they are attempting to teach. It’s never easy, but they have to keep trying in order to get their students to learn what is required despite being bit, spit on, tackled to the ground, hair pulled and even the “stealing” of food off a dinner plate. And special ed teachers turn around and will do the same thing again tomorrow. Think about these jobs and the people who fill them. Do you have the patience it takes to be in one of these positions? Do you have the patience to constantly be on the lookout for criminals, to go behind a closed door when you don’t know what’s on the other side, to walk into a burning house to look for survivors, to bathe someone who is uncooperative, to apply a turniquet so the victim doesn’t bleed out and to have the courage to notify next of kin when someone is killed in a car accident or a mass shooting? Do you have the patience? I don’t. The next time you’re having a tough day, think about how much more difficult it could be, how much more stress you might have to be dealing with or how many families will change based on a decision you make. We think we have it rough sometimes, but we really don’t. Think about your own stress level. I’ll bet it doesn’t compare.

If you are in need of a referral to a treatment center, call us at 877-841-5509 Written by Jason Good Clearwater, Fla Letter to the Editor: Your state is one of the 40 who are covered by the “Good Samaritan Law”. This law offers legal protection to people who give practical assistance to someone who they believe to be injured, ill, in danger, or otherwise disabled. Therefore, it protects people who witness someone overdosing on drugs who are typically hesitant to help because they are in fear of being sued or
prosecuted for simple possession charges or other crimes. As a result of this, people are being left to die alone. The range of what offenses and violations are covered by this law do vary by state. Some provide immunity from a wider list of controlled substance offenses where some have a more restricted immunity. We encourage you to do your research on this law. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, The United States had 70,237 deaths from drug overdose in 2017. If you encounter someone overdosing just remember that is someone’s mother, daughter, son, father, significant other, etc. Call 911 immediately!

A Saint’s Shout Out
By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School
When thinking of a small rural community in North Dakota, not many people would have the luxury of having a choice of where to send their children to school. Here in Cavalier County, there are fortunately two options available to choose from, giving residents the opportunity to select a private education for their children in a religious-based setting. St. Alphonsus Catholic School has embarked on its 98th year of offering that choice. SAS provides a fully-credited, Preschool-Eighth Grade education, plus it also provides a faith-filled religious education. St. Alphonsus School’s goal is to not only help students grow academically but also grow spiritually. Our high-quality staff, with over 100 years of teaching experience between them, strives to meet all the students’ needs as they arise. Our staff ranges from a first-year teacher to teachers with thirty plus years of experience. This diverseness provides our staff with excellent opportunities to learn, grow and develop with each other, which in turn enables the SAS community to work together to create a more family-like school environment for our students. Speaking of community, we are excited to continue St. Alphonsus School’s PCSA (Parents, Community, and School Association). The PCSA is meant to bring parents, community members, students, and teachers together to help build a strong educational experience
for students both at home and at school. We will be having our first PCSA meeting on Monday, September 16, 2019, at 7:00 PM in the SAS Cafeteria. We invite all parents, community members, and friends of the school to join us. Free child care will be provided for those who need it! Some Association tasks are helping with school projects, fundraising, and hosting family-event nights. The school projects can be anywhere from helping in the classroom, reading to our younger students, or helping with school improvements. Another exciting thing for this school year I wanted to share is our new SAINTS GEAR! We are currently taking orders, with the first big group order being placed on October 15th. We have a couple different green/gold short-sleeve T-shirts available and three different styles of green/gold sweatshirts available, all in a variety of youth and adult sizes. If you are interested in viewing an order form, please contact Carrie Hope at the school by phone (256-2354) or by email at carrie.hope@k12.nd.us You can also check them out on Facebook. The students and staff are hard at work and have gotten into a great routine. We have a lot of positive momentum happening at St. Alphonsus School to start off our “Superhero” school year! The students will be enjoying some fun, fall field trips in the next couple of weeks, such as a pumpkin patch and CAFS Fire Station. If you would like to follow the activities that are going on at St. Alphonsus School, please join us on Facebook at https:// www.facebook.com/stalphonsuslangdon/
Fall brings opportunities to Lake Region State College The hum in the air during this time of year signals the arrival of another school year and the start of harvest season. Gold fields glisten in the late summer sun as green, red, yellow, and other colored machines meticulously work their way over the land. It’s a beautiful time of year. At Lake Region State College, a new crop of students is here to prepare for the workforce and further their education. Our students are the future of this community, region, and state. We will look to them to lead their communities, families, industries, and the world. Lake Region State College is continuously planning and preparing students for their future. Our Community College Foundation supports students and college programs by raising funds for student scholarships, programs, and capital projects. The Foundation’s current capital campaign is for a new agricultural education center on the campus of Lake Region State College. The Community College Foundation launched a capital campaign this summer to raise $1.5 million. The campaign, when combined with the state appropriation and other state match programs, will bring the college to its $3 million goal. The 2019 North Dakota Legislature authorized construction of a new $3 million ag education building at LRSC. The legislation provided a direct appropriation of $1 million along with some matching fund op-
portunities and named the building for Curt and Annette Hofstad, long-time Lake Region residents and friends of LRSC. The Precision Ag program at LRSC has continued to grow since starting classes in 2013. Recently, the ag program was ranked #10 by Precision Ag Institute in its top-20 list because of LRSC’s combination of Industry partners and hands on approach to instruction. The excellent relationship with industry benefits students and employers. The Hofstad Agriculture Center will provide enhanced classroom space and a shop more suited for working with today’s precision ag components and large equipment. With LRSC’s own test field right outside the new building location, students will have real world experiences and graduate with knowledge from the classroom and land. We’ve had donors, businesses, families, and individuals, step up and generously give to this great project. To them we are forever thankful. However, we want to invite all with ties to agriculture and education a chance to support this crucial project. To learn about the various ways to give and support the LRSC Precision Ag Education Center, please contact the Community College Foundation at (701) 662-1520 or stop in to the campus. We are more than happy to provide tours and additional information on how your gift will impact students today and in the future.

By Daren Christianson Superintendent Langdon Area School Oct. 1, Building Fund Levy Vote On October 1, 2019, the Langdon Area School District is conducting a vote to change the building fund levy from its current 3 mills to 15 mills. If this vote is successful, the building fund mill levy will change to 15 mills until the 2034-2035 school year. At that time, the levy ability will be reduced to 5 mills. The Langdon Area School District’s current taxable valuation is just over $37,000,000, with one mill raising approximately $37,000. The current building fund levy of 3 mills raises approximately $111,000 per year. This is the amount of money that is currently set aside for our building and grounds maintenance and upkeep. This vote is asking for an additional 12 mills, approximately $446,000, until the 2034-2035 school year. This additional funding will be used to make payments on approximately $5,000,000 worth of upgrades and improvements to both of our school buildings. Building fund levy dollars are restricted

for use by state statute and cannot be used for things such as salaries. If the district needed to replace the current square footage of both of our buildings, it would cost approximately $37,000,000. We are fortunate that both of our buildings are structurally sound although in need of updates and upgrades to provide the learning environment that is needed to give our students the best opportunity to be successful. The proposed projects will reduce the annual costs of operations of the buildings and pay dividends as we move forward. Upon approval, the district will exhaust all grant possibilities and any other cost saving strategies available. Proposed Improvements: newly remodeled entrances that improve

safety; new consistent lighting throughout the building; weatherization of the exterior of both buildings; new heating system at elementary school; updated electrical systems; modern, efficient temperature controls; replacement and resource HVAC units at the high school to take advantage of natural gas availability; and new ventilation and air quality controls in the elementary classrooms. What does this mean to my taxes? This vote is important for our students, staff and school district to maintain what we currently have and to provide the quality of educational environment that is vital to a high, quality education.

Langdon Area Schools take time for professional development during recent late school start On September 4, the teachers of Langdon Area Schools received professional development from Shannon Harken. She is a Professional Learning and Leadership Consultant from Iowa. Mrs. Harken has spent the last 10 years co-authoring books and training teachers in the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). All LASD teachers spent two hours with her learning more about how teachers can support students through MTSS. Teachers left with a variety of teaching strategies that will engage all learners. For the rest of the day, Harken spent time with both the high school and the elementary MTSS teams. She worked with them on their process of identifying students who are struggling and providing additional supports for these students. She helped the team continue the work they started last year on identifying and helping struggling readers.
Because of the work over the past year, the number of struggling readers has declined from the 2018-2019 school year. In the middle school, there are 19% fewer students requiring interventions. The number of students requiring intensive interventions dropped by 5%. At the elementary school, there are 16% fewer students requiring interventions. The number of students requiring intensive interventions dropped by 11%. Opportunities like this professional development provide our teachers with the skills to help students reach our school’s mission which is to empower individuals to succeed in a changing world. All this success has been made possible by the members of both schools MTSS teams, teachers, and the Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy (SRCL) Grant.

Obituaries
Floyd Arthur Wells
Floyd Arthur Wells, a native son of North Dakota, made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation by the giving his life during WWII. Floyd was born at Cavalier, North Dakota, to Earl and Edna Wells on April 18, 1917, and grew up in the Fairdale (Walsh county) area along with his siblings, Clifford, Glenn, Howard, and Phyliss. Floyd enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1938, just a few years after graduating from high school in Fairdale. He served on the U.S.S. Arizona as a radioman until his death on December 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and he was killed in action.
Nearly 1200 sailors and marines on board the Arizona, many of whom are still entombed in the ship at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, were killed as a result of the attack. At the time, the Navy was unable to identify the remains of some of those recovered because of the severity of their wounds, and they were buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii. Although it was believed that Floyd went down with the ship, it was recently determined, based upon DNA and other historical evidence, that the previously unidentifiable remains of one sailor interred in the National Memorial Cemetery were that of Floyd Wells. His remains are being returned to North Dakota, where he will be buried among other brave military men and women at the North Da-
kota Veterans Cemetery at Mandan, North Dakota, on October 1. 2019, with full military honors. Not only was Floyd a patriot and a hero, he was an outstanding student and athlete during his years at Fairdale High School. He was awarded a scholarship to Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. upon graduation from high school in recognition of his academic achievements. He was also considered a top-notch baseball and basketball player, according to his brothers and sister. Floyd was also generous. Several months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Floyd started sending money from his meager military pay to his brother Glenn so that Glenn could attend business college in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, this generous and selfless act was cut

short by his death. We all know that war is a terrible thing but is sometimes necessary, with much loss and suffering, often with the lives of young men like Floyd. Floyd was not able to enjoy the good life like the rest of us. Instead, answering the call to duty and service to this great country, Floyd and other members of his deceased military family gave their lives so the rest of us could live our dreams in a free and democratic society. He would be glad that we have not forgotten the sacrifices he and many others have made in service to the United States. Floyd’s parents and siblings are all deceased but the following nieces and nephews survive: Darlene Erichsen (Washington), Claire Corbett (Indiana), Mary Ellen Hickey (North Dakota), and Robert Wells
(North Dakota), children of Clifford Wells; Curtis Wells, (Missouri), Gail Wells (North Dakota), Glenda Rouse (Iowa), Tom Wells (North Dakota), and Laurel Wells (Wisconsin), children of Glenn E. Wells; Floyd Wells (California), child of Howard Wells; and Ann Martin (North Dakota), Terry Reichert (North Dakota), Karen Cataldi (North Dakota), and Kristy Dornocker (North Dakota), children of Phyliss Wells Reichert; and by a brother-in-law, Orval Reichert (North Dakota). The family of Floyd Arthur Wells asks you to join with us in remembering and honoring him, as well as other veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.

Devotions by community pastors
This devotion is submitted by Pastor Don Barsness of Salem Bible Church in Munich
It’s been said that the greatest influences of life are the people we meet and the books we read. The years of my life have been marked by the indelible influence of my dad. He gave me a name – his name. I remember my early attempts to write my name with the fluid cursive style of my father. He gave me family. Along with the security of our immediate household, Dad gave me uncles and aunts, cousins and heritage. He instilled a faith in God – speaking the principles of Scripture, giving evidence to their life-giving power by the life he lived. He loved God. He loved my mom. Given time, I came to realize how much he loved me. Because of him I was “at home” in a variety of healthy relationships. My father gave me a sense of belonging. My life had spiritual and emotional roots. Looking back, it’s clear my life was shaped by my relationship with my dad. Erwin McManus is a gifted teacher and writer who pastors a multi-cultural congregation in Los Angeles. He never knew his biological father. His only memory of his dad is a chance meeting in a motel lobby when Erwin was less than nine years old. The glaring absence of his father’s influence left Erwin long-
Death Notice Rodney M. Hanggi, age 76, of Horace, ND, died Friday, September 6, 2019, at Villa Maria, Fargo.

ing to be rooted somewhere. As an adult, Pastor McManus confesses to “that craving in my soul to know the man who would be my father.” He offers profound insight into his struggle when he writes, “So many choices I have made in my life have been affected by the one person I haven’t known.” In thinking about the influence of a father, you may identify with me or you may identify more closely with Erwin McManus. Regardless, what is true of our relationship with our biological father is even more significantly true of our relationship with God. Quoting McManus, “Our ability to know ourselves is dramatically diminished when we do not know our God and Father. Ironically, even if you do not believe in God, your life may be more shaped by your lack of relationship to Him than any other relationship in your life.” I’m inviting you to know your Heavenly Father. He knows you. He wants you to know Him. Read the Bible – the Scriptures tell us who God is and what He does. Pray – simple prayers of sincere faith alerts our hearts to the presence and influence of God. Believe. God yearns to satisfy the longing of your soul by your relationship with Him.

Cavalier County Republican Sarah Overby Financial Representative for Thrivent Financial You bought the contract…now what? Support healthy financial strategies by knowing what’s in your contracts Purchasing proper insurance coverage is an important part of a healthy financial picture. However, if you have multiple contracts, it’s key to stay engaged so you know whether you have adequate coverage. As life changes, your insurance needs can also change. Particularly with long-term care insurance, reviewing your coverage on an ongoing basis helps ensure you and your loved ones are financially protected from the risks associated with extended medical needs. If you purchased coverage 10 years ago, for example, meeting with a financial professional to make sure the contract still offers the protection you need for now and the future is essential. Some contracts, like whole life insurance, require minimal engagement after purchase. If those contracts are attractive to you, your financial professional can help guide you towards an option that best meets your needs. A good plan is to meet with your financial professional for annual insurance “check-ups.” A financial professional can help you assess if the contracts are still appropriate and fulfilling the appropriate role in your personal financial strategy. They are also informed of the latest changes in the regulatory landscape and can help educate you on newer options that are often created as financial regulations change. When you review your contracts, Thrivent Financial recommends asking these questions: • What kind of financial protection do I need? • Do I have the right amount and type of insurance? • Have I designated the right beneficiaries? • Is my family aware of my contracts? • Do I have other financial areas that require attention and protection? • Is my level of coverage appropriate? • Am I clear on the terms of my contract? These types of meetings can help ensure that everything meets your expectations when it’s time to collect benefits on your contract. In addition, you should re-

Financial Corner with Sarah view pertinent contracts that family members hold and make sure they’re still appropriate. Raising the subject may create some momentary discomfort, but it is far better to discuss contracts and options ahead of time to ensure that nothing is being missed or forgotten when it comes time to claim insurance benefits. Some sample questions include: • Do you have insurance coverage? If so, what kind? • Where can we find your contract information in case you need help from us if/when you activate your contract? • How can we contact your financial professional? Your insurance company? • Are there any special requirements in your contract that we should know about? Taking the time to evaluate your coverage and talk with your family about your insurance contracts is a good way to make sure your benefits meet your expectations and are there for you when needed.

Cards smash the Aggies 65-6 in conference opener By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer Gette has three catches, three TD's for the Cards After two convincing non-conference wins over Northern Cass and Hatton-Northwood, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals began their conference Region 2A schedule at home versus the Park River Area Aggies on September 6. The Cards scored early and often, beating the Aggies soundly 65-6. The Cardinals are now 3-0, 1-0 in region games, and after playing at Rugby on September 13, they will play at home versus Harvey-Wells County on September 20. Against Park River the Cards got things going right away, as a 42 yard pass from Simon Romfo to Jackson Delvo set up a touchdown pass of 18 yards from Simon to Grant Romfo to open the scoring. That began a landslide of five TDs in the first quarter for the Cardinals. Senior wide out Sean Gette stepped up with three touchdown catches, again all in the first frame, to turn things into a blowout. He totaled 105 receiving on those three scoring plays. Grant Romfo added a 23 yard first quarter touchdown run as the
Cardinals led 32-0 after the first quarter. Simon Romfo completed his first nine passes in the contest for 208 passing and four touchdowns. After senior Noah Anderson scored his first touchdown of the season early in the second quarter, the Cardinals turned things over to their junior varsity team, and they did not disappoint. They put together four scoring drives for the remainder of the game. Freshman quarterback Gage Goodman and junior running back Drew Simpson each had found pay dirt in the second quarter, and freshman running back Brady Regner electrified the crowd with TD runs of one and 60 yards in the fourth quarter. Freshman Markus Kingzett also caught a two point conversion pass. Regner was also the Cardinals leading rusher for the game with 69 yards, followed by Goodman with 48 while sophomore Zach Rostvet was close behind with 47. Freshman Carter Tetrault also came up with an interception for the Cards. Park River finally got on the board in the fourth quarter on a spinning 59 yard rush by Avery Thorsgaard in the fourth quarter.

L-E-M finishes tied for third at Northern Cass Tourney By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer
After beating Cavalier in their first match of the season, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team took to the road to play in the 20 team Northern Cass Tournament on September 7. The Lady Cards looked to keep progressing, as they working in two new setters this season to replace All-Stater Madi Pritchard who was lost to graduation. The Cardinals cruised through pool play in the tourney, winning over Cavalier, Hillsboro-Central Valley and Milnor-North Sargent all by match scores of 2-0. Those wins put them in the Gold Bracket of the tourney, which they won last year. The Lady Cards beat LaMoure-Litchville-Marion in their first match of the championship bracket, but the Cardinals ran into a touch Fargo Oak Grove team in the semifinals, winning the first set 25-19, losing a close one in the second 26-24, and losing the decisive set three, 15-6. There was no official third place match, so the Cards tied
for that spot with Richland. Oakes defeated Oak Grove for the tourney title 25-14 and 25-21. Callie Ronningen had a double-double in the loss to Oak Grove with 13 kills and 13 assists. Langdon-Edmore-Munich went 4-1 in the tournament and is now 5-1 overall on the season.

Lady Cards start season with a 3-1 win at Cavalier By Jake kulland Republican Sports Writer
It was sort of a choppy start, but the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team began their season with a win at Cavalier on September 5. The Lady Cards had some issues with unforced errors, and that, combined with a inspired performance by the Tornadoes, led to a tough 3-1 match win. The Cardinals won the first two sets 25-16 and 25-21 then saw Cavalier come back to win set three 26-24, with Langdon-Edmore-Munich coming back from 11 points down in set four to win 25-23. After the victory, the Cards played in the Northern Cass Tournament on September 7 and will hosted Thompson in a non-conference league match on September 12. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will have their next match at home versus North Border on Sept. 19. In the win over Cavalier, the Lady Cards got a spark in the first set from Calyn Crockett, who returned to the lineup after missing almost all of last season with a knee injury. She led a big run to give the Cardinals the early lead. From there the Cardinals had problems with serving and attacking, missing 20 serves for the match and missing on 22 kill attempts.
Despite all that Langdon-Edmore-Munich won the second set, and after the Tornadoes came back to win the third, the Lady Cards found a spark in set four. Cavalier had all the momentum in the fourth frame, going out to a 16-5 lead helped by the great play of seniors Jaiden Erlendson and Peyton Letexier. But the Cardinals fought back led by senior Callie Ronningen, juniors Lexi Olson and Kaylee Lowery, and sophomore Morgan Freije to outscore the Tornadoes 20-7 the rest of the set to win the match. Ronningen led all players with 14 kills for the match, followed by 10 by Freije and and eight from Crockett. Olson and Ronnigen each had three blocks, and despite missing those 20 serves, LangdonEdmore-Munich had 23 aces led by Freije with nine and Crockett with six. Ronnigen had 17 digs to lead the team, while Olson and Kaitlynn Scherr each had 16. Erlendson had nine kills to lead Cavalier.

Jake’s take on sports
By Jake Kulland
Rain, rain, go away... Langdon Cross Country Meet postponed As we start this time around, we have had constant precipitation as we type on Sept. 12. Rain always seems to come at the perfect time when harvest was just getting into high gear. While the days ahead look much better, let's hope things straighten out. The weather has caused a few postponements of some area activities. A cross country meet that was to be held at the Cavalier Country Club on Sept. 12 has now been moved to Sept. 19. A reminder that Langdon will host a meet at the Country Club on Sept. 23, a Monday. This will give fans a chance to see the Cardinals runners in person, including senior Elise Ramberg, who is the top ranked runner in the state in girls cross country. It has also been raining so
much that the season finale at River Cities Speedway was cancelled for Sept. 13 and will not be rescheduled. But again, better warmer times are ahead of us, at least for a few days. Cardinals ready for home games this week It's not Homecoming yet for the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals, but you would think it is with both the football and volleyball teams at home in the week coming up. The Lady Cards volleyball team will host North Border on Sept. 19. The Cardinals have gotten off to a 5-1 start on the season after a third place finish in the Northern Cass Tournament. The Cardinals football team is still ranked number one in Class A 11 Man Football, and their next game is at home on Sept. 20 versus Harvey-Wells County. The Hornets were picked as high as second in Region 2A in preseason polls, and they got a big win over Rugby their last time out, so it should be a decent test for the Cardinals. Both football and volleyball
teams have some very lofty goals this season, so don't miss your opportunity to come out and see them play in person. Langdon Country Club postpones final tournament of the season It seems like the weather has been the main topic of this weeks visit (Isn't it always?), and our weekly updates of the goings on at the Langdon Country Club are no expception. The LCC has postponed their last tournament of the year, a Ryder Cup tourney, which has been now moved to Oct. 5. This tournament was added to the schedule last year, and those that played in it had a blast from what we were told. We will talk up more about that in the weeks leading up to the event. Tuesday Men's Stag Nights continue at the clubhouse for the foreseeable future, and the forecast looks fantastic for this Tuesday, Sept. 17, so come on out and enjoy the beautiful course. "See ya!" next week!

Fall Fertilizer Applications With the problems applying fertilizer in fall 2018 and fertilizer application delays spring 2019, I anticipate much more interest in fall fertilization this year than in most years. The following are guidelines to consider. Fall strip-till The best plan to make sure that the strip-till strips are made is to run the strip-till implement directly after harvest of early crops. Fertilizer P and K, if needed, can be applied in an August/September strip-till pass, but fertilizer N should be delayed as detailed in the ‘Fall N application’ guidelines later in the article. Fall P and K application Fertilizer P and K can be applied anytime in the fall that field conditions permit. For no-till fields, surface application is possible, but not when fields are frozen. Application with an air-seeder or similar implement can help prevent movement of recent surface-applied fertilizer should a heavy rain fall shortly after the application.

NDSU Extension Notes
Fall N application The guidelines for fall N application are as follows for ND: • No fertilizer N (except the small amount in MAP or other P products) before October 1. • After October 1, wait until soil temperature measured at 4 inch depth between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. reaches 50ºF or lower. At that date it would be reasonably safe to begin anhydrous ammonia application. • Wait another week to begin banded urea application. • Wait 2 weeks after the anhydrous safe date to begin broadcast urea application. These guidelines are no guarantee that some ammonium-N will not transform to nitrate should we experience a long fall period before soil freeze-up, but these guidelines are practical compromises to allow semi-protected ammonia stability in most fall seasons. The two chemistries that have nitrification inhibited are nitrapyrin (N-Serve™, Instinct II™, others) and DCD products. In research studies the formulation with greatest effectiveness tends to be the NServe for anhydrous ammonia. The urea products show effectiveness, but not to the same degree. For best effectiveness, use a DCD rate on
urea which is similar to the concentration in SuperU™ (Koch product). See the circular Nitrogen Extenders and Additives for more detailed information -https://www.ndsu. edu/fileadmin/soils/pdfs/Nitrogen_Extenders_and_Additive_for_ Field_Crops_2017.pdf (Reference to specific products are not endorsements of these products). A nitrification inhibitor should not be used to push application date of N fertilizers earlier. The nitrification inhibitors can best be used to provide protection against a warmer-than-normal fall, or a longer fall period than anticipated. Fall Sulfur? Sulfur is not a fall fertilizer. Sulfate-S can leach in the spring, so fall application is unreasonable. It can only work if there is a drought. The proposed strategy of using elemental-S in the fall is flawed, because any sulfate produced from this application in the fall is susceptible to leaching in the spring. The remaining S is elemental-S so release of any available S would be very slow and probably not enough to sustain any crop that requires S. So spring applied sulfate-thiosulfate fertilizers are the rule. (Source: Dave Franzen, NDSU Extension Soil Specialist)

Wet weather stalls harvest

NDSU offers tips on drying wheat The current wet field conditions mean producers may have to dry their harvested wheat this year, a North Dakota State University Extension grain drying expert says. Sprouted wheat due to excessive moisture leads to low falling numbers. The falling number is a test that measures starch damage in wheat that reduces the quality of baked goods and noodles. Weather conditions play a huge role in preharvest sprouting of wheat and other cereal grains. Periods of cooler, wet weather at the stage when the crop is mature and starting to dry down are ideal for sprouting to occur. Limiting the time mature wheat is exposed to wet field conditions by harvesting and drying it reduces the potential for low falling numbers, according to Ken Hellevang, Extension agricultural engineer. Adding supplemental heat when natural-air drying wheat generally is not needed, even during September, for most of North Dakota, but it may be needed if wet conditions continue. “Adding heat reduces the air relative humidity and the final grain moisture content, so it should be used when outdoor air relative humidity is too wet to dry wheat to the desired moisture content,” Hellevang says. “However, adding too much heat frequently causes wheat in the bottom of the bin to dry to a lower than desired moisture content.” Air will be warmed 4 to 5 degrees as it passes through the fan on a bin of wheat when the fan is operating at a static pressure of about 6 inches. Warming air by 5 degrees reduces the relative humidity about 10 percentage points. Warming air that is at 60 degrees with a 70% relative humidity by 5 degrees reduces the relative humidity to about 60%. This air will dry wheat to about 13.5% moisture content with just fan heat. A supplemental heater is not needed if the average relative humidity is less than 70%. If the average relative humidity exceeds 70%, then a little supplemental heat is needed. Even if the average relative humidity is 75%, the air will need to be heated only 2 or 3 degrees. For example, if 60-degree air has a relative humidity of 75%, warm-
ing the air 3 degrees in addition to the 4 degrees from the fan reduces the relative humidity to 59% and permits drying wheat to about 13.5% moisture. “Only running the fan during the warmer and drier portion of the day lengthens the drying time,” Hellevang says. “The estimated drying time during September is 35 days using an airflow rate of 0.75 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per bushel with the fan operating 24 hours per day, and 62 days when the fan is operated just during the warmer 12-hour portion of the day. Running the fan 24 hours a day, and adding supplemental heat if necessary, permits drying to the desired moisture content faster than only operating the fan 12 hours per day.” Turn off the fans if the weather is foggy or rain is falling. Wheat up to 16% moisture can be without airflow for a few days, but wheat at 18% moisture should not be without airflow for more than a day or two due to the potential for heating and spoilage. The drying rate is directly proportional to the airflow rate. If drying 16% moisture content wheat using an airflow rate of 1 cfm per bushel takes 21 days, it will take 28 days with an airflow rate of 0.75 cfm per bushel and 42 days at 0.50 cfm per bushel. The airflow rate must be increased to increase the drying speed. The maximum recommended moisture content for natural-air drying wheat is 18% with an airflow rate of 1 cubic feet per minute per bushel (cfm/bu), 17% for 0.75 cfm/ bu and 16% for 0.5 cfm/bu to complete drying before significant deterioration occurs. Hellevang recommends an airflow rate of 0.75 cfm/bu and limiting the initial moisture content to 17%. The maximum recommended wheat depth for drying is 18 to 20 feet. The NDSU Grain Drying and Storage website (http://www. ag.ndsu.edu/graindrying) has a link to a fan selection program. With the program, you can determine the fan size needed to obtain the desired airflow or the airflow provided by an existing fan. Hellevang also recommends high-temperature drying if the wheat moisture content exceeds 17%. However, use caution because
high temperatures affect the chemical structure and milling quality of the grain. A common practice of some millers is to test a sample of the grain for milling properties before purchasing. High temperatures can damage baking quality severely even though the grain kernels appear undamaged. Allowable dryer temperatures will vary with dryer type and design. However, a general recommended maximum drying air temperature for milling wheat in a cross-flow dryer where some of the wheat approaches the drying air temperature is 150 degrees for 16% moisture content and 130 degrees for 20% moisture content wheat. Frequently, a plenum air temperature about 30 degrees warmer is used in dryers where the kernel temperature remains below plenum temperature and the wheat kernel is not damaged. Also, drying wheat will be slower than corn drying due to the reduced air temperature and airflow rate.

Langdon Long Ago
By Rita Maisel
Remembering 1989 Much of my time this summer has been spent working on a church-related craft project which is celebrating its 50th anniversary and trying to remember life from and how things were done fifty years ago. Finishing that up this week did not leave a lot of time for research so while browsing through titles of early Langdon Long Ago columns, a group from 1989 looked intriguing with update possibilities. One was mention of the walk on the moon which had been written about as a 50-year story earlier this year. In 1989 both people who had participated in that walk, and those of us who had watched from afar, were celebrating the 20th anniversary of that event. The following are memories from other stories of 1989. The Party of the Century was North Dakota’s biggest party ever to celebrate 100 years of statehood. If you were alive that year you might remember Jason Olson in a centennial band marching down the streets of Bismarck with some local people on floats in the hours long parade. One float that caught the eyes of the people commenting on the street was the Cavalier County Wildlife entry with mounted samples of game shot by local hunters. Interviewers were charmed by a “real wild mountain man” from Wales. Finley McLean starred in that role and media personnel were still talking and writing about him long after the parade had ended. A frequent comment was that he got more screen time than governors past and present. The same week that story was featured had statistics from family reunions in our area mentioning in particular 37 sets of Koehmstedt twins and 43 sets of twins in the Kartes/Girodat families. Many of those twins might have attended the Mt. Carmel Centennial as well. Another amusing story was that of Trevor Woolner from England. Trevor wanted to trace family members who had come to America many years ago. The last news the family in England had heard indicated some family members had moved to Langdon. He had written 73 letters in search of information about these relatives and was ready to give up because the first 72 of the letters went unanswered. Someone passed the 73rd letter on to me. A long-ago uncle of Trevor seeking the information was Daniel Woolner, British soldier in Malta and elsewhere, who married Maria Jacobs, at that time a maid-in-waiting to Lady Adelia, whose husband was also in the military. Daniel was stationed at various places, and in 1970 they came to America where he was on duty guarding the boundary line between the U.S. and Canada. The next assignment was to guard the construction of the railroad from Duluth to Fargo and then west to Jamestown and Bismarck.
While on this duty his wife traveled with him in a covered wagon bringing along a small flock of chickens which provided eggs for the troops when in garrison. Their story is in more detail in the Langdon Centennial Book. Daniel was discharged at Fort Pembina in 1875 and “joined the Army of the Lord” preaching at Pembina, Drayton and, eventually, Petersburg. After Daniel’s death his widow moved to Langdon to keep house for her husband’s nephew, James Woolner, a newspaper man who worked for both the CourierDemocrat and the Republican for the rest of his life. A skilled knitter, Maria taught many Langdon women the art of knitting socks for soldiers serving in World War I. James had married Lucy Ann Smith, also from England, and their home on now 7th Street was just across the coulee from people “on the hill” and part of the Presbyterian Church in Langdon learned to know them well. Some of their antique furniture may still be prized in Langdon living rooms. Al and Marlene Peterson, living in Canada where Al was employed as a Mountie, decided to take a “Journey to the Past” and set out on a trip that would take them from Edmonton to Easby in search of Eagleson and Simmons relatives. Marlene was not well, so they brought food she could eat, equipment and oxygen for her use and described the trip as “going into the wilderness.” There is a vague memory of The Stables serving steak and lobster to the visitors, and they kept in touch with friends here for several years. Al was into a strange communication device which eventually became email. They also sent us strange discs which someone at the REC tried to translate. I believe the contents were early Peterson genealogy records but beyond my expertise to tie it all together. A column titled “The face is familiar but…..” was the story of 28 class pictures taken by the Langdon photographer of classes attempting to get together behind the school we knew in 1988 as part of Langdon’s Centennial. The photographer charged me $3 for each of these small prints because “they should be saved somewhere in Langdon.” Unfortunately, the pictures were not labeled by class years, and we never did identify the pictures. Many of the classmates on the pictures have now died, but several still remember three guys from our class who did not recognize “those old people” as their classmates so stood some distance away under a tree while the picture was being taken. Two of that sub-group are still alive, and the third died a short time ago. I have no clue as to the whereabouts of the envelopes of the prints. Another story was about a Mehok sword. The sword was given to the museum and identified as a KC Sword which had once belonged to a member of the Mehok family from Dresden. Long-time members of the Knights of Columbus wanted a story about their organization. That was out of my league. The final version was memories down

Saturday, September 21 American Legion Post 98 Langdon
through the years provided by Alphonse Hiltner, Carl Wild, Emma Hahn (not a KC member) and George Hiltner. The next week had a story about the last bear shot in Cavalier County. It was based on a much older story than the 1989 story – something like “this happened a century ago.” In more recent times bear cubs have been photographed in the Pembina Gorge. Possibly the title was written prematurely. Traveling in Style 1916 was a story about Claude Crockett’s car which he had purchased from his grandmother, refurbished, and loved showing to anyone who showed interest. This car had been in several parades in more modern times. Harry Franta had found a picture featuring the car when it was new at an Experimental Station Demonstration Tour. We are not sure if the tour began at the station and went from town to town (some auto tours did that in the pre-World War I era) or if was a time when people wanting a trial ride could observe a demonstration of the car. I do remember Emma Hahn and I got to ride with Claude when he showed his car at the museum one Sunday afternoon. September 4, 1989, brought the centennial issue of the Cavalier County Republican as it began its second century of publication. The paper listed all the editors and employees that readers could remember plus numerous pictures of old equipment and places the newspaper had occupied down through the years. Officially, the paper is now 130 years old. That same month the newspaper ran most of the original 1885 story of the death of Susan McKeown and the lynching of Louis Olson Gunderson with C.B.C. Doherty’s original title “Murder Most Foul” first appearing in the Cavalier County Courier (before the Democrat, Republican or Times existed). A word used freely in the original was deleted in 1989 because the Cavalier County Republican was a family newspaper. That word was rape, which was not synonym for canola in 1885. Gunderson was not the killer he was made out to be in the original headlines but died before a formal trial. The first person to confess to having killed Susan did so on his deathbed in the 1890s. Others continued to confess until 1927. The house tour in 1989 took many interested visitors into the former Kessler home still owned today by Paul and Michelle Olson and to the original Allert home, then owned by the Goodliffe family. Lunch following was at the library. In November of that year bands in east and west Berlin began practicing long ahead of time for a huge parade beginning in both East and West Germany. As the bands played Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” they marched down Under dem Linden Strasse to the Brandenburg Gate and history tells us “the wall came tumbling down.” If you were not alive to see that momentous celebration, check out a history channel and view it for yourself. 1989 may be long ago, but it was an exciting year- both for people in our area and for people around the world. Just reading about it, I wish I knew what I had done with the piece of the wall David Piehl brought back from his year as an exchange student in Germany. And in the meantime, other searchers for long ago Langdon have visited us and might find stories for upcoming weeks. Does anyone know history of the Abar family who ran a grocery store on the east side of Main Street or where they lived in Langdon before 1940? Other visitors (this time from Missouri) are interested in a branch of the Eickenbrock family who may have lived in Grey Township.
