NDSU Research Extension's Crop and Soil Field Day streamed live By Linda Timian Republican Writer

Lawton Loop scheduled for Sept. 18, read more on Page 3.

Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889

This is the second of three articles covering the NDSU Research Extension Crop and Soil Field Day on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, hosted by Abbey Wick, NDSU Extension Soil Health, and Sam Markell, NDSU Extension Broadleaf Crop Pathology. They were joined by professors, researchers, and scientists from NDSU and discussed various topics in a question-and-answer format. Weed Management: Joe Ikley, NDSU Extension Weed Science, discussed weed management and herbicide carryover. The harvest campaign of small grains is mostly done, though there are some fields to go. There are still 30-60 days or more until a hard frost will kill off whatever is left in the field. Clean up kochia and water hemp now to minimize weed seed production for next year’s crop. Herbicide carryover depends on the persistence of the herbicide and the selectivity of that herbicide on whatever crop you want to plant next year. Herbicide breakdown will occur over the next couple of weeks and then nothing will occur until spring. Group 2 herbicides like Pursuit and Raptor can require a 3 to 4-year crop rotation interval until you’re allowed to plant something like sugar beets. Most of our crops have more tolerance and can be planted

after 10-12 months. Clopyralid, which is an active ingredient found in Stinger and Widematch, is used a lot in sugar beets and small grains. When you rotate to sunflowers, peas, or beans, there are restrictions as to how much rain you need by a certain date. A lot of areas did not get enough rain to meet those restrictions so you are going to have to look at those herbicide labels this winter and figure out what crops you can actually rotate to. Clopyralid is also more persistent in coarse, textured soil and low organic matter soil, so if you have pockets like that in your field, those pockets may be at a higher risk. Most people are aware of the problematic herbicides that they have applied. It will be important to talk to your agronomist or extension agent this winter and try and figure out what you can rotate to. If you’ve had no rain, tilling the ground will dilute the herbicide in that profile and de-

a pound rate. Ikley is not typically concerned about carryover, especially if your application is made before June 15. Any applications after June 15 gets into a higher risk of Atrazine carryover. If you use the ½ pound rate, then the risk is higher. Ikley typically does not recommend testing for herbicides in your soil because many times no one can tell you what the results mean. However, there is some data on Atrazine. If you have a no detect on Atrazine, you’re probably good to go. When it comes to herbicide carryover, you have probably heard of bioassays. Soil is taken from a treated field and a nontreated field, seeded in a greenhouse or under grow lights, and checked for growth and injury. The easiest way to conduct your own soil bioassay of a field is to plant check strips about mid-September of the crop you want to plant next year in that field. Ideally, you would plant check strips in another field that did not get the same herbicide to compare it to. Then monitor the growth in both fields and look for injury. If you see injury, remember that there will not be much herbicide degradation until next year. The best herbicides for burntion are set up well.

Rademacher’s launch Hank’s Ice Cream Truck By Linda Timian Republican Writer Jim and Karla Rademacher, owners of Hank’s Ice Cream Shop in Langdon, are bringing their wonderful ice creams on the road. The Rademachers found and bought an enclosed trailer and converted it into an ice cream trailer!

“We decided to build an ice cream trailer because the store is doing so well,” said Karla. “We have customers coming to Hank’s Ice Cream Shop from quite a ways away. We wanted to be able to visit some of the towns that our customers are from with a truck.” Hank’s Ice Cream Trailer will be at Osnabrock on September 18 to celebrate Osnabrock

being selected as KVLR’s town of the year. They will also be in Walhalla on September 25th for the Walhalla Pumpkin Fest. The ice cream trailer will be used in the spring, summer, and fall, weather permitting. Next year they plan to be out visiting various towns as much as possible. The ice cream trailer is also available

for party and event rentals. “If you are having a party or event at your home or business and want to hire us to come to your event, just give us a call,” said Karla. You can reach them at the shop at 701-256-5246 during store hours, 2-9 p.m. “Hank’s Ice Cream Shop is open year-round, so stop in our store and grab some ice cont. on page 2

Police Report

A Super’s Take on Education

By Daren Christianson Superintendent Langdon Area School Can we agree to disagree? I believe we are all struggling to determine what is the best course of action in many aspects of our personal and professional life when dealing with COVID and possible contagion. One of the most powerful rights we hold as citizens of our great nation is that we are entitled to our opinion. Opinions vary greatly on what mitigation techniques and procedures should or should not be implemented in our schools and public venues. Opinions vary on the vaccine - its effectiveness and an individual’s desire to partake in the vaccine or not. In today’s information age, I believe that if you search hard enough you can find an “expert” who agrees with your opinion and another “expert” who disagrees with what you think. I have been in contact with multiple people concerning the school board decision to implement a masking policy that requires students and staff to mask when in motion and when a 3 to 6-foot social distance is not assured. Currently, the board has decided that until the number of positive cases in our school community falls below 5 - our school community will follow this masking policy. Some community members are passionately against masking, and some rationalize the need for masking during a time when contagion appears more likely. We will check these numbers on the last school day each week at noon and adjust as determined by

policy. In short, if the number of positive cases on Friday would be 4 in our school community, the mask requirement would be suspended. I understand passion for a subject but do have concern when that passion is presented in ways to intimidate, threaten, or coerce others who have a right to their opinion on any subject. Individuals have expressed concern over giving their opinion and becoming a target on social media or losing the support of those who disagree, which could negatively affect their business or employment. As school district employees, we will do as we are directed by policy to provide for the children in our community. We take the social, emotional, and physical well-being of our students and staff seriously and do the best we can with what we are dealing with at the time. As a school district we believe that inperson instruction and having students in school is in their best interest. The Langdon Area School Board is meeting on Monday, Sept. 13 at 8:00 p.m. to, again, provide an opportunity for public input on masking. This meeting was requested to provide an opportunity for public input. If you wish to speak to the board, please contact the school board president Dave Hart or Daren Christianson at 701-256-5291 to be placed on the agenda for public input. Each presenter is allowed three minutes to present to ensure opportunity for all. It is important that the board hears from the community. Be safe and take care.

Cavalier County Job Development Update By Carol Goodman/Consultant Shannon Duerr-Executive Director The Cavalier County Job Development Authority (CCJDA) has been moving the redevelopment of the Stanley R. Mickelsen SAFEGUARD Complex (SRMSC) forward in recent weeks using funds approved by the 2021 Legislature. CCJDA was granted $600,000 to be used for completion of a business plan, the asbestos removal phase, and for a topographic site survey. Phase II of the project's business plan will provide electrical, mechanical, communications, wastewater, and asbestos removal concepts that will allow work to begin in several areas of the Missile Site Control Building (MSCB). AECOM, Minneapolis, which has been working with CCJDA for several years, has been preparing the concept documents that will be used in the bidding process for different phases of the redevelopment. Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative, Polar Com-

munications, Minnkota Power Cooperative, MDU Resources, and the Northeast Regional Water District have provided cost estimates for installation of new infrastructure. CCJDA hopes to begin the removal of floor tiles and other materials containing asbestos sometime this fall. Two AECOM environmental engineers were on site to inspect materials in mid-August to get a close estimate of the quantity that needs to be remediated. The bid package for that work is expected to be ready by early October. Completion of the remediation will allow the next steps to proceed safely. CCJDA has also been working with Fischer Land Surveying & Engineering of Langdon to prepare a comprehensive topographic site survey and a block/lot plat of the property. CCJDA owns the “tactical area” (197 acres) of the original site and anticipates development not only within the MSCB facility but possibly on the surrounding open ground in the future.

Race headquarters will be at The Bar in Lawton. Owner Larry Legacie will be serving the postride meal for everyone again, starting between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. that afternoon. The cost of the meal for riders is included in their entry fee. If you want to extend your outdoor experience, there are 4 full hook-up campsites available for $20 per night. There are plenty of primitive (no hook-ups) sites available at no charge. Contact Shea to reserve a site. As of two weeks before the event, 17 riders were registered for the 75-mile loop and 25 are registered for the 25-mile loop. Some will be coming from the Grand Forks gravel riding group. “Every Monday night since early June, the Ski and Bike Shop in Grand Forks, led by Simon Murphy and Pat White, have been hosting a gravel ride to get people out and trying something new,” said Shea. “It’s been a huge success and has fostered many people to ride in this year’s Lawton Loop!” There is still time to register and join the fun! Get your gear on and come to Lawton on the 18th!

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker

In the beginning Since the mid 1980s, a lot of radio and television stations have come on the air in North Dakota. And since 2009, the number multiplied with the advent of digital TV and radio. But how about in the beginning? What was radio like in the beginning for residents of North Dakota? As you might imagine, the radio dial was quite different than it is now. You didn’t really need to do any tuning because there was no place else to go. Here’s something you might find interesting. WDAY in Fargo, which is on 970 on the AM dial today, was the first radio station in North Dakota. It went on the air on May 23, 1922, and was actually one of the first radio stations in the United States. It was less than two years prior, on Nov. 2, 1920, that the first commercial radio station signed on the air in Pittsburgh with the call letters KDKA. It wasn’t until Jan. 31, 1925, that the state’s second station in KDLR went on the air in Devils Lake. The frequencies have changed, but these two original radio stations continue with the same call letters. When WDAY signed on, there was actually another radio station in the area, but it was in Canada. CHAB signed on for the first time in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, on April 23, 1922, giving people in northwestern North Dakota and northeastern Montana a “local” radio station to listen to. There were several other stations that went on the air in 1922. There must have been something about that year: WJR in Detroit; WNAX in Yankton, S.D.; KSL, which was then called KZN, in Salt Lake City; and CKCK in Regina. As this new “box that could snag music out of the air,” gained popularity, people in southeastern North Dakota began listening to WNAX. KGCU, which is now KLXX in Mandan, went on the air in 1926, but it doesn’t list a specific date. From the 1950s to early ‘80s, it was called KBOM. Two more in-state stations would sign on in the 1920s: KFYR in Bismarck and KLPM in Minot. KFYR was granted a license in 1925 and often refers to itself as a 1925 station, but it didn’t actually go on the air until Feb. 8, 1926, from its studio in downtown Bismarck. When KFYR

signed on, it was a 10-watt radio station. Car stereos today have more power than that. KLPM started on Oct. 28, 1929, just one day before the Stock Market crash, and still broadcasts today in Minot as KRRZ. The first FM radio station signed on in Fargo on Nov. 17, 1947. It was called KVNJ and began broadcasting six years after the first FM station in the nation, which was in Nashville. FM radio really didn’t catch on in North Dakota until the early 1960s. Prior to that AM was building, but for many in the rural areas, they purchased radio sets with a shortwave dial that brought a slew of stations if conditions were right. The benchmark date for radio in the United States is Nov. 2, 1920, but there was plenty of experimentation before that. If you’ll remember your history, Guglielmo Marconi sent a signal from Cornwall, England, to St. John’s Newfoundland in December 1901. It was the first trans-Atlantic radio signal and lasted all of a few minutes. Marconi actually sent a broadcast across his garden in Italy in 1895. But the first known, documented radio signal happened in Brazil in 1893 when Roberto Landell de Moura sent a signal similar to Marconi’s from one point to another in Sao Paulo. Australia also has claim to early radio signals being on air before the turn of the century. William Henry Bragg, a professor at the University of Adelaide, is considered the first person to broadcast a signal in Australia in 1897. Then, in 1906, a Morse Code message was sent over the air from Queenscliff, Victoria, to Davonport, Tasmania, in Australia. Several others followed suit: Beloit, Wis., San Jose, Calif., Montreal, New York City and Pierre, yes Pierre, S.D. In 1912, a license was granted to Dana McNeil for radio station 9ZP, which apparently had intermittent broadcasts. In 1927, it became KGFX and still uses those call letters today on 1060 AM. The first shortwave radio station in the U.S. was actually KDKA using a format we often hear of today; simulcasting. It was on the AM dial for locals in Pittsburgh but started shortwave simulcasts in 1921. There weren’t a lot of listeners in the early days because radios were expensive. If you could get one in North Dakota, the price was $75, adjusted for inflation is now $1,129.

Remember when . . .

This old photo was submitted to the Langdon Area Elementary School by Mike Brumley of Springfield, MO. This looks like a typical country school maybe on the last day of school. The boys with suits might be eighth graders graduating, and there are some primary kids in the third row. The two front rows of boys look like grades 4-6 or so. They appear dressed up with caps and ties. Langdon town school classes would have had that many students per teacher in each grade, so my guess is it was a school in Langdon Township if it is local. Old maps might tell who had Langdon Township land and a guess could be Crockett, Lothespeich, or maybe a Domres, Irwin or Bata family in 1923. We are wondering if anyone recognizes a grandparent on the picture? If you have a picture that you would like to share, stop by the Republican or email ccr@utma.com.

Legislative Update

Senator Janne Myrdal R – District 10 jmyrdal@nd.gov 701-331-0946 Summer has come and gone and though it was a hot and utterly dry season, I am grateful for the green after recent rains. Too late for some crops to flourish and even more so for grass to be hayed for livestock, but hoping harvest is going well for all. Interim committees are in full swing for legislators and this year with larger numbers of committees due to redistricting among other things. The results of that committees’ work will be voted on by the entire Legislature during a Special Session coming up in November. District 10 needs to add more constituents as do most rural districts. I do not envy the members of that committee as the work is hard and tedious. Interim committees hold hearings, hearing testimonies, and review information regarding the studies assigned during the two years between sessions. The result is a final committee report that Legislative Management then considers, - often resulting in bills introduced the next session. I serve on two interim committees; - Judiciary and Agriculture/Natural Resources, but also follow closely the work of several other committees that meet. The Judiciary committee met in Au-

gust and covered several subjects we have been assigned. We continue to monitor changes we have implemented in the Juvenile Justice process, focusing on effective prevention and intervention. It is urgent and important work done across the state. It is heartbreaking to see an increase in juvenile crimes and the breakdown of the family that causes so much disruption in young people’s lives. Government is certainly not the only answer! The Board of University and School Lands manage the revenues generated through management of approximately 706.600 surface acres and 2.6 million mineral acres. It is a Board that is in existence as a result of the US Enabling Act of 1889, making it an agency that precedes statehood. It is an interesting history for anyone who would like to read it, but in summary Congress, upon the Northwest Ordinance in 1785, established a policy of land grants to states as an asset to support public education, calling it a fundamental state responsibility. This past legislative session I supported a bill that would allow for the Agricultural Commissioner to be a member of this board. It was turned into this study we now have in progress. I am an ardent supporter of having the AG Commissioner on this board. We are also looking into the acute shortage of firearms and ammunition we have seen the past couple of years. We need solutions to resolve the shortage. The U.S. saw 8million NEW firearms owners in 2020 alone, which added to the shortage at a speed not seen before. The AG committee will meet in early October, and I will report on it at a later time. I do want to bring up a couple of issues that have been front and center of every email and phone as of late. Foremost of all have been concerns of vaccine mandates, mask mandates and a potential “vaccine passport” requirement. Although I fully appreciate the severity of the Covid virus, I oppose all mandates and am deeply concerned about the breach of privacy we are seeing across the nation and also creeping into ND. Here are the factual laws that we passed last Session: Mask Mandate-Related Enacted Legislation HB 1323 relates to limitations on mask wearing requirements. • The bill prohibits a statewide elected official or the state health officer from mandating individuals in the state to use a face mask, face shield, or other face covering. Vaccine-Related Enacted Legislation Section 1 of HB 1465 relates to individuals’ vaccination status. • The bill essentially prohibits a state government entity from requiring documentation of an individual’s vaccination status; the presence of pathogens, antigens, or antibodies; or post-transmission recovery status before providing access to state property, funds, or services. • The bill prohibits a state government entity from publishing or sharing an individual’s vaccination records or other similar health information, with a few exceptions. • The bill prohibits private busi-

nesses in the state from requiring a patron or customer to provide documentation certifying vaccination or post-transmission recovery to gain access to or services from the business. However, this prohibition does not apply to a health care provider, including a long-term care provider. • The prohibitions in Section 1 of the bill: 1) Are not applicable to the ND university system or its institutions under certain circumstances; 2) Do not apply during a public health disaster or emergency (declared under chapter 37-17.1); and 3) Apply only to vaccinations authorized by the federal emergency use authorization by the FDA. I have been asked numerous times the last few days if we should push similar laws here in ND. On the State level there likely will be attempts to do so. I have read the Montana law that many are asking us to “copy and pass” in our state. It is certainly something we will discuss going forward, but we must be careful to balance government overreach from this side of the issue as well. It is a fine line to watch when one wants laws to protect liberties. I think it wise we look to the Bill of Rights and understand how strong they truly are and apply them consistently. Another important event took place just last week as a Texas a law protecting the unborn from abortion, once a heartbeat is detected, went into effect. It is the first time since Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed a prolife law to remain while litigation proceeds in lower courts. Although I have not read all the provisions of the TX law, I celebrate every life saved by this legislation. North Dakota was one of the first states to pass a “heartbeat” law about a decade ago, but it was sadly struck down at the 8th Circuit Court. Meanwhile opponents of this law now argue the term “heartbeat” is misleading, calling it “electrically induced flickering of embryonic tissue.” Wow, so every expectant mother when listening to that wonderful doppler has been wrong all these years then? It is disturbing how some can dehumanize life in the womb. Should push similar laws here in ND I been asked numerous times this past few days? The best answer is that there may be some that will bring forward similar legislation next Session, however it is important to know that in early October the Supreme Court will hear the “Dobbs” case coming from Mississippi which limits abortion after 15 weeks, and the 5-4 vote from the Justices last week was an encouraging sign moving forward to this urgently important case coming next month. It gives a glimmer of hope that the Justices will turn Roe v Wade back to states where it belongs and ND stands ready with an abortion trigger law put on the books over a decade ago. I mentioned a Special Session in November. I will report more as it gets closer, but the two issues we will deal with is the $1billion now sitting in the Bank of ND from the American Rescue Act and like I mentioned the redistricting after the current Census. Have a safe fall and as always please contact me at jmyrdal@nd.gov or call/text 701 331 0946.

NDSU Extension offering education at Big Iron Producers and others will have an opportunity to learn about crop production, the drought, farm stress and North Dakota State University’s Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department from NDSU Extension personnel during the Big Iron farm show in West Fargo on Sept. 14-16. NDSU Extension personnel will have four exhibits at the east end of the Hartl Ag Building. In addition, Extension agents and specialists will be available to answer questions about crop and livestock production and other rural topics. “This is an opportunity for people to stop by to view the displays, ask questions, pick up publications and provide input or just visit,” says Ken Hellevang, NDSU Extension agricultural engineer. Crop production accounts for about two-third of the agricultural economy in North Dakota. The Extension exhibit will focus on some of the current topics, with Extension agents and specialists available to discuss current challenges. One hundred percent of North Dakota is experiencing drought that is impacting livestock, crops and farmsteads. Producers are encouraged to bring in livestock water samples to be screened to ensure the total dissolved solids and sulfates are not toxic. Part of the Extension exhibit will include resources available to assist farmers with various aspects of agriculture impacted by the drought. Another aspect of the exhibit will focus on resources available to help producers survive the many challenges they face. Faculty will be available to dis-

cuss various Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department topics. The department has academic degrees in engineering, with a focus on agricultural machinery, natural resource engineering and biosystems engineering. The department also offers degrees in agricultural systems management, which incorporates technology, business and agricultural production. The precision agriculture degree is one of only two fouryear degrees offered in the U.S. and includes the many aspects of precision agriculture. Both of these degrees are through the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources. The department’s research focus is on precision agriculture, natural resources and biosystems, including crop storage and enhanced bioproducts. Extension education and technical assistance is provided on grain drying and storage, agricultural machinery and precision agriculture, and water including irrigation, drainage and water quality. Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering students will have an exhibit outside Hartl Hall showing their one-fourth scale tractor and possibly a reconditioned tractor or two. John Nowatzki, retired NDSU Extension agricultural machine systems specialist, has organized field demonstrations related to autonomous agricultural vehicles and automated precision rock picking. Demonstrations will be conducted daily from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the field directly south of the Red River Valley Fairgrounds racetrack.

Last month, the North Dakota Department of Agriculture was notified of four confirmed cases and one suspect case of West Nile virus in horses, and one infected sheep. Animals resided in Ramsey, McIntosh, Stark, Grand Forks, Barnes and Nelson counties. All animals showed neurologic signs, none were vaccinated and two of the animals have died. “Although we’re headed toward fall, mosquito season is still here,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Horse owners should take extra care to protect their animals.” “Like many other Midwestern states, we are seeing an increase in West Nile cases,” State Veterinarian Dr. Ethan Andress said. “Horse owners should immediately seek veterinary care for any horse showing incoordination, muscle tremors and fever.” According to the CDC, West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the United States. The virus typically infects birds, horses and people, but any animal can be infected. Vaccines are available to prevent infection in horses, but there are no vaccines currently approved for people. In addition to annual vaccines, horse owners should take these extra steps to protect their horses: • Keep animals indoors during peak periods of mosquito activity • Install and maintain screens in stall openings • Use fans in barns to dispel mosquitoes

• Apply species-appropriate insect repellant • Keep areas around stables and barns free of weeds and manure, and drain areas of standing water • Clean water tanks and buckets frequently • Remove debris and containers that can hold water where mosquitoes could breed For more information about West Nile virus or other reportable animal diseases, visit www.nd.gov/ ndda/animal-health-division or contact a local veterinarian.

Harvesting Sunflowers for Silage Requires Careful Consideration Sunflower silage can make a suitable feed for beef cows after considering several factors.

(Sunflower silage can make a suitable feed for beef cows after considering several factors. (NDSU photo) Many producers are wondering if their crops will make it to grain harvest or should they salvage the crop and harvest it as forage. “Sunflowers may be no exception to this question—the decision to harvest sunflowers as forage, particularly silage, requires careful consideration of several factors,” says Zac Carlson, North Dakota State University Extension beef cattle specialist. “Sunflower silage can make a suitable feed for beef cows,” says Carlson. “Generally speaking, sunflower silage is about 80% of the feeding value of corn silage. Still, the challenge is getting it put up, because sunflowers typically don’t dry down well.” Consequently, dry feed must be added to the silage pile to reduce the moisture level to a point where seepage is not a major problem. The moisture problem in sunflower silage can be corrected by several means. Former NDSU animal science specialist, LaDon Johnson, suggested blending corn and sunflower silages when packing

NDSU Extension Notes as one method. Johnson advised a blending ratio of one load of sunflower silage to three to four loads of corn silage. He also suggested waiting seven to 10 days following a killing frost to facilitate dry down. Some varieties may take longer and waiting longer also increases the risk of wind damage to the crop and greater dry matter losses. Johnson also advised blending dry forage into the silage pile to reduce the moisture content. Optimal moisture content in sunflower silage appears to be 60% to 72% or 28% to 40% dry matter. To minimize effluent seepage problems, the moisture level will likely need to be below 65%. Silage that is too wet will also result in undesirable clostridial fermentation, reducing the forage quality and may limit voluntary intake due to palatability. Keep in mind the target moisture of 60% to 72%; harvesting immature sunflowers can produce silage with lower fiber, lignin and fat content, possibly improving the forage quality. Sunflower silage is lower in energy at 61% to 66% total digestible nutrients (TDN), variety dependent, than corn silage at 68% TDN. The lower energy of sunflower silage is mainly due to the greater fiber content of sunflower silage which is approximately one-third more than corn silage and three times the amount of lignin, the indigestible portion of the fiber. However, confectionery and oiltype sunflowers can make silages that contain more protein (11.1% to 12.5% versus 8.2% crude protein, respectively), fat (7.1% to 10.7% versus 3.3%, respectively), calcium (0.8% to 1.5% versus 0.24%, respectively) than corn silage at 100% dry matter. “Due to the fat content of sunflower silage, the forage should be limited to one-half or less of the diet dry matter basis,” says Carlson. “In forage-based diets, dietary fat content exceeding 3% will reduce the intake and digestibility of forages. Likewise, the high fiber content of sunflower silage may reduce intake by slowing down the rate of pas-

sage in the rumen.” As with making any silage, allow 28 days for the ensiling process to occur before feeding or exposing the forage to oxygen. Pricing silages can be complex. Factors that may influence the value of sunflower silage include substitute feed costs, fertilizer costs, harvesting costs, removal of residue and nutrients from the field, storage costs, harvest and storage losses or shrink, and energy, protein and fiber content of the sunflower silage. Analyze the sunflower for nutrient content, use these values to better understand the forage quality, and determine the pricing based on forages with similar nutritive value, such as medium quality hay. “For crops covered by insurance, be sure to contact your crop insurance agent before harvesting for silage,” says Hans Kandel, NDSU Extension agronomist. “Likewise, check any herbicide and insecticide labels applied to the crop and follow the pre-harvest time restrictions before harvesting.” “Many drought-stressed plants accumulate nitrates,” says Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. “Before feeding, test your drought-stress sunflower silage for nitrates. Although proper ensiling will reduce nitrates, it does not guarantee the forage will contain ‘safe’ levels of nitrates.” See the NDSU Extension publication “Nitrate Poisoning of Livestock,” https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ publications/livestock/nitrate-poisoning-of-livestock, for more information about elevated concentrations of nitrates in feedstuffs.

Gary Allan Christianson A graveside service was held September 8, 2021, at the Vang Cemetery, rural Langdon, for Gary Allan Christianson, 84, of Langdon, who passed peacefully at his home on September 3, 2021. He was a lifelong resident of Cavalier County. Gary was born January 9, 1937, at Vang to Oscar and Ina (Rossenberg) Christianson. He attended school in Vang. He married Shirley Ritter of Sarles on January 19, 1960. They made their home in Vang and began farming, raising cattle, and custom combining with his son until his retirement in 2004. He served in the Army National Guard in the 957th Engineer Company (Float Bridge

Platoon) from 1960 to 1966, when he was honorably discharged. He served on the Hope Township Board for numerous years, belonged to the Eagles Aerie #3454, and was a member of the Farmers Union and the United Methodist Church in Langdon. As a young man he was an avid hunter and trapper with his uncle, Lester. He loved fishing with his family and friends in Canada most summers. He always looked forward to getting together with friends for breakfast. He also enjoyed the outdoors, getting together with his family at holidays and special occasions. He was all smiles when his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren were around him. He loved his family. He always had a joke or a story to tell; he was the family comedian. He is survived by his wife, Shirley, of 61 years; children: Von

(Vernetta) Christianson of Langdon and Lana (Paul) Balsdon of Osnabrock; grandchildren: Kody (Jennalee) Christianson, Kale (Tasha) Christianson, Kamry Christianson, Jayme (Jonathan) Jonasson, Ramsey (Brittney) Balsdon; and great-grandchildren: Lilee, Pyper, Rylee, Leni, Rowyn, Lincoln, Jensen, and Roddy. Also surviving are his brother, Gene Christianson; brother-in-law Doug (Linda) Ritter; sister-in-law Barb (Francis) Johnson; and many nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death were his parents, mother and father-in-law Gertrude and Howard Ritter, brother-in-law in infancy John Ritter, and brothers and sister-in-law Daniel and Izetta Ritter and Dale Ritter. Brooks Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. Online guestbook at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon.com.

Amy Olson

A celebration of life was held on September 8, 2021, at PetersonJohnson Funeral Home in Milaca, Minn. for Amy Olson, who passed away peacefully on September 3, 2021. Amy Irene Nelson was born June 24, 1939, in Langdon to Einar and Lilly Nelson. She graduated from Osnabrock High School in 1957. From there she moved to Minne-

apolis and married Arlan Olson on August 31, 1958. Together they had three children: Jon, Jay, and Jana. She later went on to manage the lunch facilities at Riverview Elementary in Brooklyn Park for 25 years. After retirement, she and Arlan moved to Milaca. She is survived by her husband, Arlan; children Jon (Jean) and Jana; grandchildren: Janikka (Jason) and Jack; and great-grandchildren: Logan, Roman, Coltan, and Veyda. She is preceded to heaven by her parents, Einar and Lilly, and her son, Jay.

A memorial service will be held for ReNae Steinke, 72, of Wales, and her husband, Gene, at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 11, 2021, at Brooks Funeral Home in Langdon. ReNae passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, August 28, 2021, at her home in Dickinson. ReNae Ellen Kern was born July 13, 1949, in Rolla, to Raymond and Olive (Hodgins) Kern. She was raised and educated in Hannah. After graduating from Hannah High School in 1967, she attended Josef’s School of Hair in Grand Forks, receiving her cosmetology license in 1968. She met Eugene Steinke in 1965, and they were married November 16, 1968. To that union a daughter, Monica, was born in September of 1969. She worked parttime for her sister-in-law, Norma Pengilly, at Nifty’s Beauty Shop in Langdon and full-time alongside her husband in their bar, Gene’s Bar, in Wales. They bought Wales Grocery in the early 90’s. She eventually took over running the store and later added the Rural Postal Service to the store. She was a busy lady between doing hair, the store, the bar, and making her well-known Syrian bread and many pounds of macaroni salad for the steak, chicken, and fish fries at the bar or for anyone who asked. Dad was known for his famous fried chicken, and mom was known for her macaroni salad. Many people tried to duplicate the

dressing, but it was just never as good. She didn’t have a recipe so they would just ask her to just mix up the dressing, and they would pay her for it. After the store closed, she enjoyed being a grandma to two grandkids, Dawson (1999) and Baylee (2001). In her free time, she loved traveling with her sisters, visiting her grandkids, going to the casino, and going to concerts. She also enjoyed cooking, canning, listening to country music, singing karaoke, watching westerns and Wheel of Fortune, and playing board games and cards with her granddaughter. She was very proud of Monica and her grandkids, Dawson and Baylee. Even though she was not a sports fan, she made it to a few hockey games. Surviving ReNae are her daughter, Monica (Richard) Kram of Dickinson; grandchildren Dawson of Dickinson and Baylee of Minneapolis, Minn.; siblings: LaRae Hildonen of Anchorage, AK, Richard Kern of Seattle, Wash., Claudia (Ken) Miska of Middleton, Wisc., Rod (Darla) Ryan of Ark., and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Gene, brother Lowell Kern, sister Karen Haraseth, half-sister Paulette Ryan Davidson, half-brothers: Greg Ryan and Brent Ryan, nephew Lance Gjesdal, brother-in-law Frances (Rufus) Hildonen, and sister-in-law Marvel Kern. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

A memorial service will be held for Eugene Steinke, 82, of Wales, and his wife, ReNae, at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 11, 2021, at Brooks Funeral Home in Langdon. Eugene passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday, November 4, 2020, at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo. Eugene Charles Steinke was born November 20, 1937, on a small farm near Rush Lake 2 miles west of Wales, to Gustav and Anna (Greening) Steinke. He grew up in Minto Township and attended school at Minto Twp. School and Wales High School, graduating in 1955. He bought the bar in Wales on July 10, 1964, and then built the new bar building in 1977. He owned and operated the bar until 2015. One of his favorite things to do was to invite friends from all over, including many from Canada, to his bar. He was a gracious host. He loved having a good time and made sure everyone had a good time and no one ever went away hungry. There was always someone there who sat down at the piano and/or picked up a guitar and the sing-a-long would begin. Canadians waited until the last minute to head back to the boarder. He loved singing and listening to country music, play-

ing pool, curling, driving around visiting, and raising cattle. He also looked forward to goose hunting and driving combine for family and friends in the fall. He had a big heart and was always there to help anyone who needed it. In 1965, he met Renae Kern, and they were married November 16, 1968. They had a daughter Monica. His grandchildren, Dawson and Baylee, were very important to him. He loved spending time with them and called them almost every day to check in and see how they were and what they were up to. He was always very supportive of their education and their goals and aspirations in life, helping in whatever way he could. Surviving Gene were his wife, ReNae, of Wales; daughter Monica (Rick) Kram of Dickinson; grandchildren Dawson of Dickinson and Baylee of Grand Forks; siblings: Norma (Dennis) Pengilly, Sharon Krueger, Earleen (Bob) Edkins, and Earl (Cindy) Steinke along with many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters: Lorraine Stauber, Berneice, Janet Marie, and Anna Kueneman; and brothers: Melvin, Kenny, Allen, Alfred, Walter, and Jerry. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

Dr. Helen A. Knutt

A funeral service was held on September 7, 2021, at All Nations Lutheran Church in Rocklake for Dr. Helen A. Knutt, 83, retired veterinarian of Rocklake and Cando, who passed away on September 1, 2021, at the Towner County Medical Center in Cando. Burial was at the Arndt Cemetery, rural Rocklake. Helen Anne Hartwick was born in Blue Earth, Minn., the daughter of a real estate, loans and insurance agent and former farmer, George A. Hartwick, and his wife, Olivia E. (nee Bartel), a former school teacher. Born November 3, 1937, she grew up the youngest of seven children. After graduating as high school valedictorian in 1955 and attending Mankato Commercial College, she worked for 12-1/2 years for the United States Government, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Social Security Administration, first as a claims stenographern and then as a claims representative. On January 2, 1961, she married Raymond “Jack” Lloyd, who was initially a farm hand for her father. Together they owned and managed several rental properties in Mankato. When Jack passed away in 1967, she decided to take a chance and do something she’d wanted to do since childhood: become a veterinarian! She started pre-vet in 1968, going to Mankato State College. She was then accepted into the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Uni-

versity of Minnesota (St. Paul) and began attending classes in September of 1970. It was there she earned her bachelor of science degree in 1972 and her doctor of veterinary medicine in May of 1974. She came to Devils Lake in 1973 for a summer job with Roger Prior, DVM, at the Lake Region Veterinary Clinic. While employed there, she met Wallis Knutt of Rocklake, who was to become her husband. They met when she was sent up to Rocklake to do some blood testing on some hogs for Wallis and his brother, Ronald. They would meet a few more times, professionally, over the summer. When the results of the lab tests on the hogs came back, Wallis, who was mostly in charge of the hog operation, asked her to explain them over dinner. After dinner, when he began opening doors for her and asked what she wanted to do next, she realized that they were, in fact, on a date! After dating the rest of the summer, Wallis came to the Minneapolis area to see her again while also visiting his sister. At that time, he invited her to North Dakota for Christmas, where they became engaged. They were married March 16, 1974, in the Cando Lutheran Church. Together, they had two daughters: Gail Ellen and Martha Eve. She initially set up her veterinary practice on their farm, eventually opening Knutt Veterinary Clinic in the remodeled Jahnke Store building on Main Street in Rocklake. In 1979-80, Wallis and crew moved the now retired hog barn into Rocklake and then remodeled it for Helen’s practice, which was now known as Knutt Veteri-

Devotions by community pastors

In developing countries, collecting life-sustaining drinking water strains the bodies of the women and children who retrieve and carry the water. Spinal and neck damage is often widespread. To solve this problem, entrepreneurs began designing and distributing wheelshaped water containers that allow people to move water without injury. In Galatians, Paul instructs the church: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ” (6:2). In today’s passage from Philippians, he gives us a real-life example of this burden-bearing. Paul begins by expressing his love for the Philippian believers, his partners in the gospel. Though some might think of Paul as the New Testament’s tough and brainy theologian, this verse reveals his tender affection. Having begun to ease their burden by reaffirming his love, Paul went on to tell the believers exactly what he is praying for them: love, discernment, purity, fruitfulness, and God’s glory. This is Paul’s regular practice. He also tells the Ephesians (Eph. 1:15–23), the Co-

lossians (Col. 1:9–14), and the Thessalonians (2 Thess. 1:11–12) the substance of his intercession for them. In this way, he reminds the churches that their specific burdens are not forgotten, and he encourages them to look expectantly for God’s help. The burden-bearing is not onesided. Paul reinforces their mutual love by sharing his own burdens and affirming the essential part that he believes the prayers of the Philippians will play in his release from prison. The great apostle depended on these prayers of intercession. Like those inventors who create ergonomic water vessels, we take up one another’s burdens in prayer, lending each other a hand to bring them to the Lord. In many places—Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa—Christians face persecution. Hebrews tells us, “Continue to remember those who are in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering” (Heb. 13:3). In prayer, bear the burdens of fellow-Christians in chains.

Community nary Hospital. This modern veterinary hospital had facilities for both large and small animals. She also operated Knutt Satellite Clinic at Langdon from 1977-1991. Dr. Knutt officially closed her practice in 2001 after being bitten by a cat, which caused an infection and then severe anemia. After recovering, she obtained employment with USDA, Food Safety and Inspection Service as a supervisory veterinary medical officer and inspector in charge at the North American Bison Cooperative in New Rockford, Bowdon Locker Plant, and, also, supervised two additional plants in Mandan. She retired from this position in 2007 for health reasons. She was an attendee/member of All Nations Lutheran Church in Rocklake since 1987. There she taught Sunday School for 3 years, was an active member of the Altar Guild for a couple of years, was recorder for AAL for a couple of years, played piano for Sunday services for several years, was a member of the LWML, and after her retirement volunteered as the church secretary. After retiring from the USDA, she took an active role in the local chapter of the NARFE (National Active and Retired Federal Employees Assn.). She also enjoyed many hours of jigsaw puzzles, playing games of Sequence and Flinch, helping her daughters out when possible, and taking in as many of the three granddaughters’ activities that she could. Helen is survived by her daughters: Gail (Mrs.Terry) Harder of Munich and Marty (Mrs. Curtis) Larson of New Rockford; granddaughters: Casey June (Mrs. Luke) Weston of Rolla, Coty Mae Harder (fiance of Michael Kraft) of Grand Forks, and Olivia Rose Larson of New Rockford; sister Mary O. Monical of Pontiac, IL; sister-in-law Marcy (Mrs. Jerry) Frye of Minot; and numerous nieces and nephews. Helen is preceded in death by her husband, Wallis; her first husband, Jack; her parents; sisters: Frances Cook, Dorothy Rutledge, and Margaret Ofverstedt and their respective husbands; brothers George B. and John and their respective wives; brother-in-law George D. Monical; and six nieces and nephews. Memorials are preferred to the All Nations Lutheran Church in Rocklake. Dunnigan-Dix Funeral Home of Cando, ND was in charge of arrangements.

Un-named Rooster Chronicles

by Heather Duerre of Walhalla I have been aware of something very unsettling for many weeks now but have hesitated to write about it. Sometimes I feel if I don’t write about it, it’s not true…unfortunately it turns out life doesn’t work that way. So, here it is - un-named rooster has started his own army. When I entered the barn, it was like the scene from Lord of the Rings where Sauron was hatching Orcs in his evil lair. Unnamed rooster was Sauron, and as I looked around, I saw numerous tiny creatures coming to life as they burst through shells. Some people may call these creatures chicks, but I call them an army of beasts looking to rid me from the farm. After this unsettling discovery of a winged army being created, I have decided to re-

group with my army. By my army - I mean myself and two turkeys. So, it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you this will be the last installment of the “Un-named Rooster Chronicles.” It makes me sad only because I fear my battle with un-named rooster will never end! Our unending feud is much like that of the Hatfields and McCoys. I am like the Hatfields… only because Kevin Costner played a Hatfield in a movie once and much like myself, he seems pretty cool. Anyways, much like the generations long war between the Hatfields and the McCoys, the un-named rooster and I will likely battle for years to come. I researched the life span of a rooster, and the typical rooster lives 5-8 years. Once in a while, if a rooster is lucky, he can live up to 15 years! Given that information, I can only assume un-named rooster will live 28 years and my granddaughter will have to finish him off…

Cardinals score 25 4th quarter points to beat Grafton 41-18 Cards score 41 points for their 41st straight win

By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer

After two impressive wins to start the season, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team played their first Northeast Region Class B 11-Man game of year at Grafton on Sept. 3. After being behind after three quarters for the first time in four years, the Cardinals rose up and scored 25 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Spoilers 41-18. With the win the Cards move their record to 3-0 on the season and recorded their 41st straight victory. After their Homecoming game versus Park River Area on Sept. 10, the Cardinals will travel to Thompson on Sept. 17. At Grafton, the Cards got off to great start, scoring on their first two possessions. Starting Cardinals quarterback Rayce Worley was out with a sprained ankle suffered in practice, so junior Gage Goodman took over to run the offense. Goodman engineered a 16-play, 86 yard drive after a Grafton punt to a 8-0 lead on a three-yard touchdown run by Carter Tetrault, which was followed by a 2-point conversion pass from Goodman to Tucker Welsh. The Cards had a number of big third and fourth down conversions to keep the drive alive. After a Spoilers fumble on their next drive, Langdon-Edmore-Munich had a short field to get into the end zone, and they did just that on a 29-yard pass from Goodman to Tetrault and a 2-point circus catch by

Markus Kingzett. Grafton, however, would not go away. They have a returning allstater in senior Esgar Rios, and he got rolling in the second quarter, eventually scoring three touchdowns - two of them on 37- and 42yard runs. The Spoilers picked off Goodman three times in the scoring run and led 18-16 after three quarters. To his credit, Goodman got things back together in the final frame as did the Cardinals defense. Trailing in the fourth quarter for the first time since the state championship game of 2017 (!), Goodman found Kingzett in the back of the end zone on fourth down and goal to put the Cards ahead the rest of the way. The Cards defense held the Spoilers to minus 10 yards in the fourth quarter. Junior Jack Romfo had a 20-yard run on the Cards next scoring drive and capped it by catching a five-yard touchdown pass from Goodman. Kingzett then clinched the game on two touchdown shovel passes of 42 and 30 yards, each with great blocks from Mason Romfo, Jack Romfo, Cole Welsh, Alex Gellner, Zack Rostvet, and Shaun Goeser. The Cardinals went 41 for 41, scoring 41 points for their 41st straight win. Goodman literally filled the stat sheet with five touchdowns, three interceptions, and 186 yards passing. Jack Romfo led the way with six carries for 78 yards, followed by Tetrault carrying it 13 times and gaining 54. Kingzett had exactly

Lady Cards win first 2021 regular season match 3-1 over Cavalier In their match at Cavalier, the By JAKE KULLAND BOXSCORE Cardinals opened strong with a 25Republican Sports Writer

After a second-place finish at the Northern Cass Tournament, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team played their first regular season match at Cavalier on Sept. 2. In a hot, humid Cavalier gym, the Lady Cards won 3-1 to move their record to 6-1 overall. They host Thompson for their Homecoming match on Sept. 9. They will then play at Rolette for their first Region 4 match of the season Sept. 14 before coming home to host North Border on Sept. 16. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will also play at the Optimists Tournament in Jamestown on Sept. 18.

14 win behind their two big hitters - senior Morgan Freije and sophomore Cora Badding. The Tornadoes got the second set going with junior Eden Carrier giving Cavalier a 2523 win. In the third set, Freije had seven aces in a huge Lady Cards run that led to a 25-14 win. Cavalier nearly pushed the match to a fifth and decisive set, but the Cardinals came back and scored six straight points to win the match 25-22. Freije had 21 kills and 10 aces to lead all players followed by Badding with 16 kills. Sophomore Jalynn Swanson had 34 assists for the Cards, and Badding led the team with 16 digs.

Jake’s take on sports

By Jake Kulland

Cardinals football team makes first fourth quarter comeback in over four years The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team actually found itself behind going into the fourth quarter of a game at Grafton on Sept. 3. It was almost uncharted territory for the Cards, as it was the first time they were behind in the final frame since they lost their last game - in the 2017 State Class A Championship. If you are a Cardinals fan or just a football fan in general, you have to love the answer that Langdon-Edmore-Munich had to being behind. All they did was score four straight touchdowns on offense and hold the Spoilers to a negative 10 yards on defense down the stretch. It all made a 41-18 win for the Cards, and they did 41 for 41, scoring 41 points for their 41st straight victory. It was a great early test for a Cardinals team that has some new parts in some new positions so to speak. This year's team showed a ton of character in an ad-

By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School The New School Year It feels like we’re living during crazy times – there are many ups and downs in the world around us. Even though the uncertainty, we’re happy that we have been able to kick off our 101st school year at St. Alphonsus School and welcome our students back into our building to do what we do best – teach kids. Since March 2020 we have perfected the requirement of staying on our toes. No matter what life has thrown at my teachers and staff, they have handled it with grace and with smiles on their faces. My staff continues to amaze me. They continue to work hard and put the well-being of our students first

verse situation. This should only be a plus as they continue the rest of their season. Tuesday Men's Golf playoffs down to the Championship The last couple of weeks have seen the playoffs going on for Tuesday Men's League Golf at the Langdon Country Club. Eight teams, four each from the early and late shifts were competing for the league title, and now two teams are left standing. The twosome of Randy Hill and Kade Pengilly will take on the pairing of Tyler Bata and Jesse Zeis for the championship. Depending on farming schedules, the final match is scheduled for Sept. 14. Hill, who is also the Tuesday Men's League secretary, also wanted us to remind men's league members that the yellow payback slips are out at the clubhouse and can be used until next June. Also, a reminder that Tuesday Men's Stag Nights are still going on at the club at least through the month of September with a cook your own steak or burger menu. Girls Volleyball schedules heats up for Lady Cards This week the Langdon-EdmoreMunich volleyball team kicks up their schedule a notch. The Lady

Cards will play at Rolette on Sept. 14, have a home match with North Border on Sept. 16, and then will play in the Optimists Tournament in Jamestown on Sept. 18. The Cardinals are off to a 6-1 start to their season and are looking for their seventh straight Region 4 Volleyball title. Minnesota Vikings start the stress and aggravation this weekend On Sept. 12, the Minnesota Vikings will begin their 61st season in the National Football League and will also begin yet another quest for their first Super Bowl title. The NFL season is a little longer this year, as all teams will play a 17-game schedule for the first time. There is quite a bit of unknowns to this year's squad, as they are several new faces on defense - who were horrific last season. Most of the so-called experts are picking the Vikes to either go 9-8 or 8-9 this season. Mine will be the same as always, but this year with one more win. We predict the Vikings will go 17-0 and win that first ever Lombardi trophy. Like you expected anything else! Skol! and "See ya!" next week!

A Saint’s Shout Out

and we have been able to expand our offerings. I am happy to share that our preschool program at St. Alphonsus School has grown! We added an afternoon section of pre-K three days a week. We split our preschool and pre-K into morning and afternoon sessions. We have 28 students in preschool and 32 students in pre-K this year. God has blessed us with the ability to serve so many students. We have observed our youngest students experience joy seeing their friends again and learning to take turns playing at our extremely popular water table. Many of them have asked when their turn is for Show and Tell – that’s also a popular feature of preschool and pre-K. It’s a great way for kids to gain confidence and learn how to speak in front of a group.

They are always so excited to share what they have brought with them! With so much turbulence in the world, we want to focus on what we have in common, not what makes us different. We focus on our love for God and Jesus, the small joys in experiencing Show and Tell, and our desire to see our children learn and grow. There’s so much that connects us in this life and at our school. There’s so much that connects us and makes our building more than a school – we are family. During these crazy times, let’s stick together. Carrie Hope is in her 3rd year as principal at St. Alphonsus School. She can be reached at carrie.hope@ k12.nd.us or at 701-256-2354. St. Alphonsus School is celebrating its 101st school year.

Dakota Gardener: Squirreling away vegetable seeds

By Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks County Last fall, I watched the local squirrel as he or she stashed away seeds from our bird feeder for the winter. Imitating the squirrel’s frugal behavior, I am going to save some garden seeds for next year. If you had a hard time finding seeds this past year, you might feel the need to do the same. What seeds can you save? You can save any seed you want, but the plants that grow next year might not look the same. Once you know what method of pollination the plant uses and how the original plant was produced you will have a better understanding of how the saved seed will perform. One method of pollination is selfpollination. Self-pollinated plants are self-fertile and will produce seed from pollen from the same flower on the same plant. Plants grown from these seeds will be almost identically to the parent plant. Examples of self-pollinated plants in the garden are beans, peas, tomatoes and peppers. Another method of pollination is cross-pollination. Cross-pollinated plants need pollen from another flower, plant and sometimes another variety or cultivar to set seed. Examples of cross-pollinated plants in the garden are cucumbers, melons, squash, pumpkins and gourds. The seeds from these cross-pollinated vegetables may look different from

the parent plant. Sometimes cross- and self-pollinated plants are referred to as openpollinated plants. Hybrid plants are developed by carefully controlling pollination. Certain plants are crossed to get desirable growth characteristics. Be careful saving seed from hybrid plants, as your saved seeds will have different characteristics from the parent plant. Save seed from fruit that is disease free and mature, way past when you would harvest for eating. For example, beans should be dry, brown in color and the seeds should rattle inside. Peppers should be harvested when they are fully ripe and have a wrinkled appearance. Tomatoes should be a deep red color. Spread the seeds out indoors and let them dry completely before storing. This can take a couple of weeks or more depending on your home’s environment. Do not cut this process short, or you will have moldy seeds! Seeds can be stored in glass jars in the fridge. Small paper envelopes can be used to keep different seeds separate in the same jar. Remember to label the seeds with their name, variety and the date of harvest. For best germination, seeds should be used within one year. The older the seed, the lower the germination rate. You may have to do some research on the vegetables or plants that you want to save seed from. In the home garden it is hard to know for sure what pollinated what. So, saving seed can be a gamble. But it

is certainly worth a try! Happy gardening! For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent. Find the Extension office for your county at https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension/directory/counties.

Prairie Doc® Perspectives: Kidney’s don’t get no respect

By Jill Kruse, D.O. The kidneys may be called the Rodney Dangerfield of the body, as they often “don’t get no respect.” The National Kidney Foundation estimates that one in three adult Americans are at risk for kidney disease, yet these organs are mostly ignored unless they develop stones or stop working. When healthy, kidneys work continuously at their main job of filtering blood to remove unwanted products and help produce urine. Kidneys clean approximately 200 liters of blood each day removing up to two liters of toxins, waste, and water in the process. Perhaps less well known is the fact that the kidneys are essential for many other functions in the body as well, including managing blood pressure and preventing anemia. Kidneys release the hormone renin which is part of the complex renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, or RAAS, instrumental in helping regulate blood pressure. RAAS regulates sodium and potassium absorption in the kidneys and balances fluid and electrolyte levels in the body, all of which have a direct impact on blood pressure. When treating patients whose blood pressure does not respond to medications, heart doctors will examine RAAS function. They may also order an ultrasound of the kidneys. Sometimes this reveals a narrowing of the artery going into the kidneys which may be responsible

for treatment-resistant high blood pressure. Kidneys also secrete a hormone called erythropoietin which acts on bone marrow to help the body produce red blood cells. Without this hormone, people can develop anemia. Vitamin D is converted to its active form by the kidneys allowing the body to use the vitamin to its advantage. Thanks to the kidneys, vitamin D helps balance calcium and phosphorus absorbed from the foods we eat. Without enough calcium, people can develop weakening of the bones and muscles. Kidneys complete these and many other functions so efficiently that a healthy person can donate one and the remaining kidney will do the work of two. They work hard to help us, so let’s do our fair share to help them. If you have diabetes, work to control it as best you can because high blood sugars can damage your kidneys. And one thing all of us can do for our kidneys is to stay hydrated. There is no doubt that kidneys deserve more respect. Talk to your doctor about blood tests or urine tests to check your kidney’s health and functionality. Kidneys…let’s show them some respect!

Prairie Fare: What’s your knowledge of food labeling lingo?

As I strolled through the grocery store the other day, I noticed people pausing and looking at the packages as they made their selections. Maybe they were comparing prices and nutritional value. Maybe they were trying to find the products with the most distant “best if used by” or “sell by” dates. We have a lot of information at our fingertips when shopping. We have even more information online, and sometimes the variety of information can be confusing. For example, “gluten free” is commonly misunderstood. Sometimes the term is on products that did not have the grain-based protein in the first place. Gluten is a protein naturally found in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten is formed during the kneading process in breadmaking. Gluten acts somewhat like elastic and provides a framework for bread. It sometimes is added to other products for various reasons, so those who have celiac disease need to be especially cautious about label reading. Gluten is not harmful to the average person, so gluten-free diets are not recommended for the general public. However, those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance may experience harmful or unpleasant effects from gluten consumption. Besides gluten, many other terms are used in conjunction with food on advertisements or labels not necessarily directly on the food package. Can you identify the terms that correspond to these definitions? The answers are at the end. These two nutrients are required on the Nutrition Facts labels on most food products as of January 2020. One is a vitamin and one is a mineral. What are they? This term indicates the food was produced without synthetic pesticides, although some pesticides from natural sources can be used. Foods with this term are regulated by strict standards overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This notation on some foods indicates the crops were developed through genetic engineering. What is the term? For the term described in question No. 3, list at least four crops available today using the technique described. Meat, eggs and poultry that carry this labeling term have no artificial ingredients, including colorants or preservatives, and minimal processing. What is the term? Meats labeled with this term indicate the animals have eaten grass or hay 100% of the time. How might the meat be labeled? Here are the answers. Vitamin D and potassium are the latest nutrients required on most Nutrition Facts labels. Vitamin D

helps the body absorb calcium to keep bones strong. Milk is fortified with vitamin D for this reason. Adequate vitamin D also helps maintain a strong immune system, and plays a role in muscle movement and nerve transmission. Potassium is an electrolyte that helps our nerves function and our muscles contract. It helps maintain a healthy blood pressure. “Organic” is the term that indicates strict production guidelines were followed related to application of chemicals. “GMO” stands for “genetically modified organisms.” This plant breeding technique allows breeders to transfer a desirable trait from one organism to another. The desirable traits might include disease resistance or enhanced nutritional content. Several genetically modified food crops are available today, including sweet and field corn, soybeans, canola, sugarbeets, papaya, squash, cotton, Arctic apples and Innate potatoes. The apples and potatoes are less likely to brown. “Natural” is the term commonly used if the product has had minimal processing and typically has no added dyes or chemical preservatives added. “Grass fed” indicates the cattle were fed hay or grass 100% of the time after being weaned. To dig more deeply into these labeling terms, explore more food labeling information from the Food and Drug Administration, the USDA or other reputable sources.

Public Notice

Cavalier County Republican

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report – Langdon, North Dakota – 2020 We are pleased to present to you this year's Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the safe clean water we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. The city of Langdon purchases its water from the city of Devils Lake which purchases water from Northeast RWD- Langdon Branch. The North Dakota Department of Health has prepared a Source Water Assessment for the city of Devils Lake. This information will be made available at the respective offices of Devils Lake during normal business hours. The city of Devils Lake also participates in the wellhead protection program and copies of the wellhead protection plan are available from the cities of Devils Lake offices during normal business hours. Our public water system, in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, has completed the delineation and contaminant/land use inventory elements of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on the information from these elements, the North Dakota Department of Health has determined that Devils Lake's ground water is "moderately susceptible" to potential contaminants. No significant sources of contamination have been identified. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Jason Busse, Operator @ (701) 370-1911. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the second & fourth Monday @ 6:00 p.m. @ Langdon City Hall. If you are aware of non-English speaking individuals who need help with the appropriate language translation, please call Jason at the number listed above. The city of Langdon would appreciate it if large volume water customers would please post copies of the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report in conspicuous locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and/or employees, so individuals who consume the water, but do not receive a water bill, can learn about our water system. The city of Langdon routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2020. As authorized and approved by EPA, the state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data [e.g., for inorganic contaminants] though representative, is more than one year old. The sources of drinking water

(both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land, or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can, also, come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the number of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. In the following table, you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we have provided the following definitions: Not applicable (NA), No Detect (ND) Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (μg/l) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/l) –Pico curies per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available

treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - The “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect

testing that some contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800426-4791). MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated

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

the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants. Those contaminants listed in the tables above are the only contaminants detected in your drinking water. Unregulated contaminants are those for which the EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist the EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. Your water system monitors for several unregulated organic contaminants, which could indicate a contamination of the water supply from a pesticide or petroleum spill or leak. We are proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and

contaminants, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as, persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). *If present, elevated levels of lead

your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize expo-sure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Tampering with a public water system is a federal offense. Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement immediately. Please call Jason Busse, Operator @ (701) 370-1911 if you have questions concerning your water system. The city of Langdon works diligently to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future. The city of Langdon is an equal opportunity employer.

August 17, 2021 On August 17, 2021, 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 Austin Lafrenz called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Lafrenz asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by David Zeis; motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Greg Goodman; motion carried. Nick Moser discussed possible supervisory duties to be added to the Road Supervisor position and stated it would be discussed again at the next commission meeting. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners and reviewed the map of upcoming road projects. Daley updated the commissioners on the County 13 gravel project, as well as pavement testing to be done on County 6. Culvert options for on County 45 were discussed. Stanley Dick made a motion to proceed with a concrete box culvert, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. Daley stated he would contact DOT to get a bid date for the culvert project. Johnston informed the commissioners that with the shortage of tractors, he signed a letter of intent with Langdon Implement for tractor leases in 2022. The plow and plow mount on the new snowplow truck was discussed. It was decided to get the mount modified when the truck gets delivered so the plows from other districts could be interchanged as needed. Lisa Gellner, Auditor, stated she had discussed

re-districting with Scott Stewart, State’s Attorney, following the 2020 Census, and that there was no need to re-district being the county does not have districts. Karen Kempert, Emergency Manager, met with the commissioners and discussed an emergency drought declaration. Kempert stated that the county did not need to declare, as it had already been done at the state and federal level. If declared, it would allow use of the county’s emergency funds, if needed. David Zeis made a motion to approve the proposed Emergency Drought Declaration. Motion failed for a lack of a second. Fire conditions were reviewed and it was decided that a conditional burn ban was not needed at this time. Kempert had checked with the fire chiefs and they did not feel it was needed. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by Stanley Dick to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: SPORTS & SHIRTS, DISP___ 364.00 RAMADA BISMARCK HOTEL, TX DIR______________________ 259.20 JACLYN NYE, TX DIR_____ 125.00 STEPHANIE BATA, TX DIR_______ _________________________ 344.26 KLEMETSRUD PLUMBING & HEATING CO., GEN/R&B/VSO__ ________________________1,965.89 PREMIUM WATERS, INC., CLERK_ __________________________ 33.98 FARMERS UNION OIL CO, MAINT___________________ 43.25 WEST PAYMENT CENTER, STATE'S ATTY____________ 250.32 COMPUTER EXPRESS, CLERK____ __________________________ 66.00 COUNTRY MEDIA, INC., CLERK_ __________________________ 46.50 PREMIUM WATERS, INC., MISC__ _________________________ 185.98 DAKOTA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS,

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Baby Safety Month I have a family friend that I have known for quite a few years that has one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. When pictures are posted on social media, I can almost smell the fresh baby smell, feel the soft warmth of the snuggly little bundle, and hear the quiet breathing of a content little one. Little babies can be one of life’s greatest joys. Seeing the beautiful pictures doesn’t show how much work it is to keep them safe and healthy. As babies begin to explore their worlds and learn who they are and where they come from, it’s important for their caretakers to be vigilant about the baby’s surroundings. It’s easy for a baby to fall down stairs, choke on something, or pull furniture and other things down on themselves as they explore. Babies are often faster than we anticipate once they become mobile, and some babies put everything in their mouths to explore, as the 5 senses are all used during brain development. It is easiest for us to prepare our homes for the safest environment than to try to manage safety once the baby becomes mobile. The best ways to do that are to get down on their level so we can see things from their perspective, do our research about safety, and be vigilant

NDSU Extension Notes

about keeping them safe and adjusting as we need, no matter how difficult that may be. September is National Baby Safety Month. The Juvenile Produces Manufacturers Association (JPMA) https://www.jpma.org/ page/bsm_safety_tips has several tips and ideas to keep safety a priority in the home and is responsible for initiating Baby Safety Month in order to educate parents and caregivers. Fun fact from JPMA, “Baby Safety Month is held in September because it’s the 9th month of the year.” (https://www.jpma.org/ page/about_bsm) There are several things that a caregiver of a child can do to help celebrate this month and ensure the baby they are responsible for is safe and cared for, even when the baby still keeps them busy. Some Basic Baby Safety Tips • Use gates at top and bottoms of stairs • Use safety latches on cabinets and toilets • Keep smoke detectors up to date and installed correctly • Remove small toys, poisonous plants, and chemicals • Cover outlets • Keep all cords from electronics, blinds, etc. out of reach • Check crib for current safety recommendations • Complete registration cards of furniture, car seats, etc. so you get notified of recalls • Never leave baby unattended

in the bathroom or bathtub • Have car seat checked for proper installation and safety (usually Dept. of Health or Sheriff’s office) • Prepare age-appropriate foods, and never leave baby unattended while eating • Keep bouncers, swings, and other activity centers away from dangerous cords, unstable furniture, and always keep on a stable floor • Check water temperatures for safe levels • Use bumpers on sharp corners • Follow recommendations of safety standards from professionals • Secure unstable furniture (such as bookshelves, etc.) to the wall • Consider safety as an ongoing process, and adjust when needed • Have baby within your sight at all times NDSU Extension has several publications that can help families navigate safety for babies. The publications vary in topics from safety during pregnancy to guides for babysitters. Please visit our website at https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/extension-topics/ food-and-nutrition/health-andnutrition/new-and-expectant-parents and search for FN657, NF662, FN663, FN664, FN715, FN1644, FN1835, or search other topics that could be helpful to you. You can also call our office at 256-2560, stop in, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu. edu and we can help you find a resource or discuss ideas with you.

September is National Preparedness Month: 3 Things You Should Do Now to Prepare for a Disaster Disasters usually come without a lot of warning. Tornadoes, hurricanes and other emergencies like fires often lead to evacuation and then rebuilding after the damage has occurred, upending lives in the process. A little planning goes a long way to ease the process of restoring your life in the wake of a disaster. In honor of National Preparedness Month, COUNTRY Financial offers the following tips to be ready in the event of an emergency: 1. Talk with your insurance rep to review your current coverages. Are your current insurance coverages adequate for your needs? A regular review with your insurance rep can help you to learn more about what your policies currently cover and what they don’t, so you can make necessary adjustments to ensure you’re adequately covered should a disaster occur. This is also a great time to share any lifestyle changes or updates in financial priorities. If your family has grown, if you’ve made improvements to your home or you’re looking for ways to save, you may need to adjust your coverages. 2. Take a video inventory of

your belongings. This is one of the most worthwhile ways to spend 10 minutes! Think about all of the belongings you currently have in your kitchen cabinets, closets, garage, etc. Could you list all of them from memory? This is why taking a video inventory of your belongings is so important. If a home fire or other disaster strikes, you’ll have a current log of items to provide to your insurance company. Tips for taking a video inventory: Use narration. You might feel silly talking over your video, but it’s so helpful. While you’re recording, be sure to describe what we’re looking at. The more detailed you are during your video shoot, the better. Record everything. This might seem obvious, but you need to capture everything you own. It sounds overwhelming, but if you take it one room at a time, you’ll be done in no time. Break up the videos and create one for each room can make the process easier. Don’t forget places like your garage, attic or shed, if you have them. Capture (some) serial numbers. For bigger ticket items, like electron-

ics, point the camera at the make, model and serial numbers and narrate that information over the video as you record. This will help ensure you’re reimbursed for the same product (or for one of equal value). 3. Save for emergencies. It’s no secret that life can hit at the most inopportune times. Do you have enough saved to cover your insurance deductible, or to evacuate should a natural disaster occur? In some extreme cases, you may need to have cash on hand if card readers are down. Ideally, you should have 3 – 6 months’ worth of expenses in an easily-accessible account such as a savings account. COUNTRY Financial’s budget worksheet can help you determine how much you’ll need to save. From there, set a weekly savings goal and make adjustments to your current budget as you build your emergency fund.
