“Move with a Mayor” events scheduled in Langdon Cavalier County Health District, in partnership with Langdon Mayor Jerry Nowatzki and various community guest speakers, announces the upcoming “Move with a Mayor” walking series. “A few months ago, I was approached by the county health nurse, Steph Welsh, and she had read this in a professional journal, where this was something that some other cities had done. It’s a really good opportunity for the citizens to get some one-onone time with the mayor and discuss something important to the city. You do this all while exercising,” said Jerry Nowatzki, mayor of Langdon. The intent of this series is to increase physical activity to improve physical health, reduce the risk of chronic disease, improve mental health, and bring individuals together to improve community connectedness. The walks will be held every two weeks on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 a.m. beginning on June 27. “For the first one, the topic is myself talking about the upcoming street project. I will field any questions that any of the participants have, and
hopefully, the community will learn something, and we’ll get a little bit of exercise in,” Nowatzki said. The event is free, and no pre-registration is required. Walkers should meet at the picnic pavilion at Langdon Park. The walks will be guided by a speaker who facilitates a discussion on a topic listed below. Mayor Nowatzki and CCHD hope to see interactive discussion during the walks between the facilitators and the walking group to increase community engagement and feedback on a wide variety of community topics. “Myself, what I’d like to see is community participation, whether it’s five people or 50 people. Just something where the community gets together, and we’re going to judge how often we’re going to do these,” Nowatzki said. The walk will be approximately one mile long and go from the picnic shelter at the park to the south side of Langdon Elementary School and north to the west side of the elementary school and around the north side of Langdon High School.
A tentative schedule for walks and facilitators is as follows but are open to change: June 27- Mayor Nowatzki, Street Project July 11- Bailey Reiser, NDSU Extension, horticulture and weeds July 25- Brenna Swanson, dietician at Langdon Prairie Health, diabetes August 8- meet Michelle Skillings, Chief Nursing Officer at Langdon Prairie Health August 22- Shane Gallagher, meet the Cavalier County Sheriff September 5-TBD September 19-Katie Henry, NDSU Extension, processing garden harvest (canning, freezing)

Nowatzki said if all goes well this summer, there is potential to continue the program indoors at the Langdon Activity Center. “That’s also going to be a great opportunity to show off the city’s Activity Center, which I think is one of the flagship venues we have here in Langdon,” Nowatzki said. “It’s an outstanding facility, and I just don’t think it gets enough use.”
