It’s a one-of-a-kind race, and it’s in its second year. Where else can you find a hare scramble format race on a ski hill that still has snow on its trails?

Dustin Gorder, event co-organizer and member of the Pembina Gorge Foundation board. “This one is pretty unique in the fact that it’s snow and frozen dirt everywhere.”

March 19.

“There are many that race on ice. I have yet to find one on a ski hill,” said

A 10 a.m. race time is set for the Open C Class and women’s events with a one-hour race. A Noon race time is set for Open A Class, Open B Class, and Senior (50+) Class with two-hour races. Entry fees for A, B, and Senior Class is $50 and for C Class and Women is $35. Spectators are welcome to attend; the entry fee is $10. Spectators can move around to view different parts of the race on an ever-changing course.

“It’s always amazing to me to watch how the course changes over the day.

You start out thinking the lines are going one way, and after the first lap, it’s not at all how it goes. It’s fun seeing what works and what doesn’t,” Gorder said. “From the building aspect, I want to make something that’s fun and challenging. I want it to be safe and not impossible to get through. I want to see how many more people we can get. Everyone I talked to last year wanted to come back and bring friends.”

Challenging Winter Ushers in One-Year Anniversary for Pet Groomer

By Hilary Nowatzki

Kristi Hejlik is the owner and operator of Pet-tastic, a pet grooming business with two locations in the area. One location is in Lakota at 212 D Avenue East and another in Langdon at 9722 Highway 1. Hejlik bought Pet-tastic in Lakota after the retirement of Erie Fahey in 2020.

not work when you love what you do.”

“During the blizzard on the weekend of Feb. 18 - Feb. 20, over 25 appointments had to be rescheduled so I came to Langdon, stayed with my family, and had the appointments done in two days,” Hejlik said. Hejlik is dedicated, and regardless of the weather, she finds a way to complete her business even in as difficult of a winter as this year’s. Even in the cold, snowy months of winter and in the midst of opening a new business, Hejlik says, “We complete, on average, 130 dogs a month between the two locations.”

“Business exploded so much, though, that I had to hire her to help me, and I currently have three employees helping me now,” stated Hejlik.

Hejlik grew up on a farm near Nekoma and had dogs that she loved throughout her childhood. Sadly, after the death of her father in 2008, the family had to leave their beloved farm and move into a small apartment in town. While at Langdon High School, though, Hejlik started working with dogs for Kathy Rueger where she would assist with feeding, cleaning, and letting the dogs in and out, but she also began grooming a little as well.

Pet-tastic offers nail clipping, ear cleaning, sanitary trim, bath and dry, body clipping, underlining, along with regular and undercoat comb outs. Hejlik can also do bunny and guinea pig nail trims along with cat grooming.

“Every animal has their own unique personality, and I act according to each one,” said Hejlik. Every dog is accessorized with bows or ties, which are handmade from folks in Nekoma, to match their personality. Let's also not forget the spray of doggie cologne that’s included.

“This all really started my love for dogs,” Hejlik said. “A few years after college, I met my husband, and someone asked me if I groomed dogs, so I said yes, and my first client was groomed on my kitchen table.”

This interaction sent many farm dogs Hejlik’s way, so when the opportunity to buy Pet-tastic in Lakota came around in August of 2020, she jumped on it. Hejlik immediately obtained her dog grooming certification, and the ball was rolling for business.

In January of 2021 Hejlik was offered an opportunity to groom dogs in Langdon at Dean Reuger’s farm.

“It was so nice to go back; it felt like old stomping grounds,” she said.

Just as business for Hejlik exploded in Lakota, it did the same in Langdon.

“It’s insane the amount of clients I’ve gotten,” stated Hejlik, and soon Pet-tastic had two business locations to accommodate the increase in clientele.

This winter has posed many difficulties for Hejlik, though. The only downfall of having two successful locations is being able to commute back and

forth for appointments through multiple blizzards these past few months.

The burdens of scheduling and rescheduling appointments can be frustrating, but Hejlik uses her positive attitude to make it through whatever is thrown her way.

“It’s a lot of fun, though! This has been my dream, and animals have always been my passion,” stated Hejlik. She continues by adding that even in less than optimal climate situations, “it’s

“If dog fur will be there, so will I eventually!” is a motto to Hejlik in the winter. She expresses her deep gratitude to her customers for all of their patience and kindness during these unpredictable months and said she cannot wait to continue to meet all of the fur-babies’ needs.

Hejlik says to prospective clients that she prefers a text to (701) 256-0018 or messaging the ‘Pet-tastic’ business page on Facebook to schedule appointments, which gives her time to sit down and find a perfect time for the requested appointment.

JDA Update

By Nick Vorlage

The Cavalier County Job Development Authority (JDA) board held its monthly meeting on March 9. During the proceedings, a number of topics were addressed, one of which was development at the Stanley R. Mickelsen Site.

Matt Marshall, economic development administrator with Minnkota Power Cooperative, participated in the meeting.

“He sometimes hears about all these different opportunities from businesses that are looking for locations so he just kind of came up to visit with the board to see what kind of ideas they’d be open to for the Stanley R. Mickelsen site,” said Shannon Duerr, executive director of the Cavalier County JDA. “You know, if it’s just data centers or if we’d be open to any kind of thing, and the board is interested in hearing about anything that could create jobs and preserve the history out there and bring positive economic impact to the county.”

The Board also discussed Cavalier County surveys which were distributed earlier this year. The deadline for the general survey has passed, and focus groups are looking over the responses. The alumni survey, due to several extenuating circumstances, was just recently sent out.

North Dakota Marks Shifts in COVID Response

By Nick Vorlage

Thursday, March 10 marked the twoyear anniversary of the first recorded COVID-19 case in North Dakota.

Since then, the state has reported over 239K positive cases of the virus and logged over 2,200 COVID-19 related deaths, nearly half of those occurring to residents in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Now, two years later, with cases and hospitalizations on the decline, North Dakota governor Doug Burgum and the North Dakota Department of Health say it is now time for the state to learn to live with the virus.

On March 9, both Governor Burgum and the DoH released a joint statement saying North Dakota will begin to shift towards approaching COVID-19 as an endemic. While this doesn’t mean the virus is gone, the state now has tools and therapeutics to contend with the virus’s effects. Further, the pattern of COVID-19 infections has become more stable.

As North Dakota shifts to endemic status, a few changes will be occurring. First, support from the North Dakota National Guard will cease operations on Thursday, March 17. Also starting Friday, March 18, the NDDoH will cease their daily COVID-19 dashboard updates, switching it to only a weekly model which will provide more simplified data. The DoH states that most other states have already taken this approach with only 10 states still giving daily COVID-19 updates.

With these changes in play, state health officials urge residents to continue to stay home if they feel ill, pick up a free at-home test kit from local providers, as well as get vaccinated to prevent more serious complications from the virus. North Dakota remains one of the lowest vaccinated states at 54.5% vaccinated. The national average stands at 65%.

Farmers Encouraged to Plant Soybeans

Fuel Prices at Record Levels

Interview by Mick Kjar, story by Nick Vorlage Ken Nichols is the director of research programs with the ND Soybean Council. He said that this year, many farmers should be considering planting soybeans and for several reasons.

“Not only the expanding markets with the renewable fuels and other areas but you take a look at the fertilizer costs and input costs, and soybeans become quite attractive. Last year with the drought, we didn’t use up a lot of nutrients so one of the things that we’ve talked about is the excess nitrogen in the soil after you had a poor crop last year,” Nichols said. “So, farmers are being encouraged to take

a look at their nutrient levels in that area. Soybeans are just a very flexible crop for uses in the long run.”

Nichols said the Soybean Council is also funding a number of projects aimed to help farmers, Nichols said soybean farmers do have a number of issues this year, including the emergence of new pests.

“We’ve got some new ones like soybean gall midge and how do we control that. We haven’t figured that one out yet,” he said.

By NAFB News Service Nichols said that some pests have begun to grow immunity to some pesticides, and with the EPA’s ban on chlorpyrifos, farmers have quite the challenge coming up.

“That’s an insecticide that we don’t have a lot of others in the area, and ones that were in the area are now gone, so how do we manage these insects that are resistant to Pyrethroids? That’s a big question - how we’re gonna come through that. What other avenues do we have? So, it’s a concern,” Nichols said.

The focus now is on how an already disrupted supply chain is further impacted by the Russia-Ukraine war.

Fertilizer is a key part of that conversation.The company had made the decision to briefly halt fertilizer sales after Russia invaded Ukraine in order to get a handle on supply and pricing.

He shares more about the fertilizer supply chain from an agribusiness perspective.

“Russia is huge in agriculture. Let’s keep in mind that we’re not just talking about Russia, there’s Belarus and the Ukraine. That region is a major contributor to both crop production globally as well as fertilizer production,” said Gaji Balakaneshan, the chief operating officer at Midwestern BioAg. Balakaneshan lays out the numbers, saying Russia has about 10% of global ammonia production and Russia and Belarus combine for around 40% of globally traded potash exports. He also said Russia is about 10% of the global cereal trade.

“All of the actions happening right now are going to pressure all of those prices upwards. So I think everybody’s on edge. We were, as an industry, not well positioned leading up to this in general, and this is just more fuel to the fire of what’s going on in the fertilizer world,” Balakaneshan said.

Growers are facing record-high fertilizer prices as we move toward the 2022 growing season. Balakaneshan gives insight as to what producers need to know about input costs this spring from potential shortages and ongoing cost hikes.

“We’ve been preaching to our buyers since summer that there’s no reason to wait around on your purchasing decisions. All signs have been pointing up for the last year, so nothing’s changed; it’s only gotten worse. So if you’re able to buy now is probably a better time than later,” Balakaneshan said.

While Balakaneshan said it is possible that 90% of input demand was already purchased and committed to for this season and the sky high prices that are being seen now is just for that last little bit that producers have left to sell, but he doubts that’s the case.

“There have just been too many disruptions to supply, so I think that we’re actually looking at potential shortages of N, P, and K,” Balakaneshan said.

NPK for short, stands for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).

“You know you traditionally have probably a $.20-$.30 carry in a timeframe so to be back, we’re at $1.40 with diesel, so that just shows the amount of fear,” said Scott Wilson, energy customer risk manager with Growmark.

Growmark is a regional agricultural supply cooperative operating in more than 40 states and one operation in Ontario, Canada.

“We see constant draws, too, with demand doing so well and supply under where we typically would be, but yes, we saw higher prices, and with all of this stuff happening over in Ukraine,” Wilson said. “There’s easily $30 of geopolitical risk in the crude market

Supply Chain Impacted by RussiaUkraine War

Fuel prices are at record levels, and fuel price spreads are also in uncharted territory. Experts say fear is fueling the markets.

Wilson says there are also supply issues supporting diesel prices. Diesel inventories are at their lowest levels in two years.

Research Center Hosts Event The Langdon Research Extension Center will present “Considerations for 2022 Growing Season” from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. on Monday, March 28. The schedule includes coffee and doughnuts and the following:

Friday, March 18, 2022 - Page - 3

right now so with what’s going on with supply and demand, you’d see stuff easily at 90-100 but these $130 crude levels are, yeah, a lot of that’s driven by concern and what’s going on in Europe.”

Wilson says the big question will be what consumers will do in the coming weeks, especially for those who have not been traveling much these last two years.

“One of the things I keep talking about or thinking about is with gasoline, too.

We have all these mask mandates coming off. We have people who have been cooped up in their homes for two years; they haven’t been able to travel. They’re so excited to do that this summer and then all of a sudden, you’ve got $5 gas,” Wilson said. “As prices continue to rise and rise and rise, there’s going to be a point where people either can’t afford to pay it or aren’t going to pay it, and we just don’t know what those levels are going to be.”

How COVID Led to Supply Chain Problems by the American Farm Bureau Federation American Farm Bureau Federation chief economist Dr. Roger Cryan said supply chain problems abound in America and around the world. He said the issues began when COVID-19 shut down dining and entertainment and changed consumer spending habits.

“All our demand shifted to stuff and that demand for a lot of stuff clogged up ocean shipping, which we're still dealing with,” Cryan said. “That's created problems at the ports, shortages of containers, and our ag exporters have had a hard time moving product back across to Asia, and our farmers

have had hard time getting inputs, and our equipment manufacturers have had a hard time getting inputs, and there's all kinds of things that are hard to get.”

check off a lot of those overdue projects that will help the economy grow.

The economy cooling off a little bit will be important to really getting things sort of straight again.”

Cryan says it’s unfortunate that some of these supply problems are going to stick around for a while yet.

Cryan said these supply chain issues are also impacting inflation.

“Again, we've pumped up the economy so much, pumped up demand so much, that it's going to take time for supply to catch up, and that's going to take time and investment,” Cryan said. “Congress passed an infrastructure bill that should help the U.S.

“Well, inflation is too much money chasing too little supply. The economy is running hot again. There's a lot of demand. Given the scale of the oversupply of money right now, the only practical solution for inflation is for the federal reserve bank to rein in their lending,” Cryan said.

Letter from the Publisher through on March 10 looked like winter decided to show up all over again.

In fact, it stacked the biggest drift in our yard even higher, although possibly not quite high enough for the feral coyote that was on the loose in Langdon over the weekend to climb onto the roof of our house.

It was very kind of Mother Nature to send some sunshine the very weekend that most winter sports, school activities, and other shenanigans are coming to an end, or at least the end is in sight.

I was looking at the weather forecast, and I was really getting excited about warmer weather, but it might not be time to get the Bermuda shorts out just yet. The snow squall that went

We’ve entered ice chipping season, don’t sell yourself short and skip that! And you know what comes next, right? Mud season. That’s the finest of all. So no rushing into summer,

we’ve got a ways to go. By the way, our news team is studying flood predictions; Shanda Christianson covers that in this week’s Ag Outlook, along with a lot more.

I’m going to include our address reminder a few times in the coming weeks. Now that it’s actually starting to feel like spring around here, we are given hope that it will actually arrive!

THE MORNING RUN: I Love My Scheels VISA Fraud Department

by Sara Goodman I love my Scheels VISA fraud department. I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting with them very often, but I recently had a nice long conversation with Sherri on Monday. Here’s the backstory. The Friday before we left for state hockey, I decided that we needed a new litter box and scratching post. Our cats are messy and like

to scratch things, but why I added that to my Friday morning to-do list before we left for Bismarck, I’m not sure. Anyway, I was busy searching Walmart online while shoving hockey sticks in the sub when I ran across the perfect combo of box and post. I clicked “buy” and instantly got a credit card declined message. Grrr. I tried entering the number again only to get the same message. With the push off time for Bismarck ticking, I switched to a different card and got the order to go through. We left for Bismarck, and I conveniently forgot about the whole thing until we hit the Kirkwood Mall, and I was trying to buy Gage a birthday present in Scheels. Declined.

Not leaving well enough alone, I tried again at the Buckle. Declined. Now I understood it was a definite problem.

That’s where Sherri comes in.

First thing Monday morning I called the credit card company. Sherri pulled up my account and knew right away what the problem was. She

wanted to know if I had authorized a purchase for 49.99, from a company with a name she couldn’t pronounce, back in January. I said, very huffily, that I certainly did not! However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had, in fact, authorized a one dollar purchase from the unpronounceable company thinking it was for a trial subscription. Back in January there was a basketball game out of town that I couldn’t attend, and with most schools having access via webcam, I searched and found what I thought was the site I could log into and watch the game. You had to pay a one dollar access fee for what it said was a trial - cancel at any time to avoid a monthly subscription fee. I started entering my info into what I knew was a sketchy site. What prompted my temporary insanity to continue down this path? Mom guilt. It was one of Gage’s last games before he was going to have surgery, and I felt terrible for missing. Sherri wasn’t happy with

me or my shoddy explanation. She promptly gave me a scolding and proper mom lecture for being dumb.

I knew better. I am married to a former chief credit officer who still writes checks because he’s worried about fraud. He’s married to a gal who loves Venmo. Opposites attract as they say.

The worst part is that once I realized my mistake, I thought I had canceled it and, in the end, never even got to watch the game.

After Sherri was done with her lecture, she cancelled my card, ordered me a new one, and told me to try not to be so dumb moving forward. I blamed it on Covid. And mom guilt.

Sherri then continued to ask about all my other recent purchases and listed off any company name she thought seemed sketchy. “How about this Loo-Loo-….Lemon?” Ah yup, we were willing to pay through the nose for a t-shirt. “Several different purchases from a Simply Dresses?” Ah, yup, thanks prom dress shopping fiasco.

“And how about Target in the amount of…..?” SHHHHH! We don’t talk about Target, Sherri! What happens in Target, stays in Target. Excuse me while I go order more checks.

Musings from Munich: To Teach or Not to Teach

By Matt Mitzel All of our parents have the stories of the ‘old days’, and most of them, if you’re my age, revolved around them racing cars, crazy town dances, and pranks that usually involved farm machinery. I wonder if my parents had ever really taught me the shenanigans of their day, but now I am faced with the dilemma of what I actually teach and pass down to my own sons.

Most of the fun I had and the survival skills I developed, were after I graduated high school and joined the Army.

I was sent to Germany, and even though the Army took up most of my time, it was the first time in my life that I lived without a safety net. We all know the parental safety net: we see some that have never lived without it, and they show it, but when you’re flat broke, you just stay flat broke. You have to get creative! After the Army, I went to NDSU and being broke and a college student was even more of an adventure. Now, let’s just preface this by saying that mostly all of the following is illegal, immature, and bordering on being an a-hole. So if you’re a young adult, do not try to do this stuff, get creative and find your own ways.

First off, food is one of the hardest things to budget for when you are young because it is all taken care of by your parents. So in a pinch, I would grab my empty suitcase and walk into a hotel in the morning. I never wore a coat to look like I just came from a room. It was amazing what different hotels served in their continental breakfasts, and I was never too proud to grab some for later. When supper came around, Ramen was always a staple in the meal. Cooked, drained, and mixed with a slice of cheese, you get cheesy noodles that are amazing.

If you were lucky to work in the food industry, you could always get discounted meals, but most of your money went towards rent and the college life experience.

Second, was finding ways to do fun things that did not cost any money. I was a pro at working the hotel circuit, so I would routinely go swimming and hot tubbing at whatever hotel I liked in Fargo. My trick was always walking down the hallway and memorizing a room that had a “do not disturb” sign on the handle. Then I would go to the front desk and say I was out of towels in my room, number XXX, then walk right into the pool. Probably overkill, but it was cloak and dagger stuff to get into hot tubs at the fancy places. I guess I could have gone to the YMCA pool, but day passes were like five bucks, and I never could understand how the old men were so open with their nakedness.

As far as my apartment, most of my utensils were “borrowed” from NDSU’s dining facility. I kept only the finest of glassware labeled Old Broadway, Sport’s Bar, and Chubs Pub, or whichever place left empties on the

table for more than a couple of minutes. Furniture was easy in a college town as every “Spring Cleanup Week”, there would be a barrage of furniture kicked to the curb for pickup. The better neighborhoods threw away the best stuff. The goal was never to steal but always promote the businesses in which I had so proudly displayed in my apartment. Even today, if you open up our cabinet, as much as my wife throws our cups from my past away, there are remnants.

Lastly, jobs were not specifically for money but the perks as well. If you bartended WeFest, they gave you free admission. If you worked at the dining facility, you easily walked out with enough fruit to feed a small country; if you worked as a bouncer, it was the easiest way to meet women and get all the perks of someone who had the power of admittance to a good time.

The golden oracle of a job was always, and probably still is today, a job at Scheels. Their employee discount was superior to most, and every family member and any girlfriends supported you as you were likely to get presents there.

I guess I am at a crossroads on what to teach my sons. I definitely want them to struggle for a small period in life and to push past it to become self-sustaining, law-abiding citizens. I also want them to learn from my little tricks that I developed when I was younger so they do not have to reinvent the wheel.

Well, I guess time will tell what they will get out of me, but if you are ever at my house and notice some of my glassware that says “Sporty’s”, realize I will always be a kid at heart.

A Brush with the Bunch!

This article is taken from the cover of the pamphlet by Sylvia Moore for our Brush Bunch Art Show and Sale #51.

Serendipity is defined as "Happenstance Blessing". It's always a challenge for our art group to come up with a theme for our annual art show. This year, kudos to Frankie for the delightful word. For those of you who have never heard the word, blessings are upon you today because you will learn the meaning as you walk through our art show! For those of you who have

heard the word but struggle with the meaning, you, too, will walk through the show with a new enlightenment on this special word! When artists are at work stroking their brushes, using their finger for that special effect, or adding that special color upon their distinct pieces, a new blessing or enlightening, eye-catching suddenly appears out of no-where, and yes.... we call that...serendipity! We titled it as Miriam Webster defines it as"happenstance blessings." We hope, now that you are aware of the special and pleasing blessings that happen in your life, no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, you will pay extra-special attention to SERENDIPITY! Thank you - Sylvia.

Concerning the mural which is to be painted by the Brush Bunch, the entries have been selected down to the final four; these will be place in the window at the Gorge Gallery. They will be numbered and will include a description. We ask the public to view the entries, and your vote may be done inside the City Office between March 15th and the 30th next door

LOCAL CONNECTIONS to the gallery, or you may vote online, which will be explained to you by Zelda Hartje. We will decide on the best location at next week’s meeting. The final decision will be made by the Brush Bunch.

Last Tuesday, we held our monthly meeting, which was postponed from the week before. In the absence of the co-presidents, acting president Flo Holen conducted the meeting via modern technology. Co-president Laurel e-mailed Flo the agenda for the March meeting, and we were few in number, but several decisions were made concerning our art show.

One was the final vote on our cover for the pamphlet for the show. A lot was accomplished painting wise, and dessert was served by Carol Clark.

cont’d. from page 1 - Braap! Snow Scramble Gorder builds the racecourse, including jumps, and started that process after Frost Fire Park closed for the ski and snowboard season on Sunday, March 13. Gorder was involved with the race planning last year and was happy with the race turnout. While word of mouth is expected to bring more racers, there’s something else that could increase race numbers over last year.

the prize money that goes with it.

“The prize money really has a lot of people’s attention,” Bata said.

The Snow Scramble event is held as part of the new Dakota Scramble Series, which includes a race in Fordville on June 4 and another near Vang on Sept. 11. There is $3,000 in prize money for the series. There’s also $3,000 in prize money for the Snow Scramble. Trophies and prize money will be awarded to first, second, and third place in each class.

A hare scramble is a timed, off-road motorcycle race consisting of off-road and trail riding on a closed course.

At the Snow Scramble, the women’s class and the C class will complete as many laps as they can in one hour.

A, B, and Senior classes will do as many laps as they can in 2 hours. The A course for the 2-hour race is going to be more difficult than the beginner course. The event will have a few different sections that beginners will not race through.

To be eligible to win the Dakota Scramble Series, a racer must compete in all three races. The person with the lowest point total wins the series and

For riders, early sign-up is 4-9:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18 at the Frost Fire Park lodge, or sign up on race day starting at 8:00 a.m. on March 19.

As far as the classes go, “open” means any size bike goes - from a 125cc engine to a 500cc. While there are fewer classes in this event than in the rest of the Dakota Scramble series, anyone who wants to ride will fit into a class: Open C is more for beginners, B is intermediate, and A is the highest level of competition.

“I want people to realize that it’s more fun to watch than a regular race because the racecourse and snow conditions will change with every lap.

What you did on one lap may not work with the next lap,” Bata said.

While organizers say they don’t get a lot of first-time racers in an event like this, they would like to be able to welcome new people to the sport and show them how things work. Typically, an event like the Snow Scramble tends to be a race for more experienced riders.

Riders for this race need to adjust their tires if they want to leave the starting gate. Tire studs are required.

There are many ways to stud a tire, but for fairness and safety, event organizers ask that everyone use the exact same type of stud: American Motorcycle Association (AMA) certified screw in studs for tires. Riders can use as many studs as they want – there’s not a rule on the number, just the type of stud.

“Anyone who has any interest at all in motor sports or winter sports, NASCAR, sprint cars, or any type of racing, they would find it very entertaining to come out and watch,” Gorder said.

Gorder plans to participate in the race itself, as does Bata and his daughter, Lexi.

Eagles: Boys Basketball

Jake’s Take on Sports We have reached the end of nervous breakdown season

By Jake Kulland

As we begin this week, the end gate has been drawn for the winter sports season. What a wild ride it was again, and this winter has got to be in the top five worst travel years in like ever.

Case in point, we were broadcasting the championship night of the Region 4 Boys Basketball Tournament on March 10, and we waited for a no travel advisory to lift in Devils Lake.

When we finally got on the road, it was downright nasty coming north on Highway 20 from the Cando turn to Munich. We were this close to just parking the truck on the main drag in Munich for the night but stupidly pushed on, and thankfully, it got just good enough to make it the rest of the way. Now, this is just one of many examples of how rough it was this year. From the start of hitting the ditch twice between Grand Forks and Fargo to make it to the Dakota Bowl to the story I just recounted above, it's been an adventure. The many good times made the many white knuckle drives worthwhile.

Regional boys basketball tournaments and the upcoming State Class

B Boys Tourney in Minot finish off the winter sports season. Congrats to the North Border boys basketball team on a fine season. The Eagles had hoped and had good reason to think they had a shot at making their first trip to the Big Dance since 2007. A rough night shooting against a tall Hillsboro-Central Valley team prevented that from happening, but hopefully, the Eagles and their fans will remember the many good times this season.

Jaxen Johnson, Ayden Stainbrook, and TJ Cosley all made the All-Region 4 Team. Johnson, Kyler Moore, and Logan Peterson have played their last North Border boys basketball games, and they certainly will be missed. Next year should be another banner year for Eagles basketball, and we know a lot of people are looking forward to it already.

Spring sports are beginning to get rolling; First track meet March 26 in Grand Forks As we come to you writing these words on March 15, the weather has finally taken a turn for the better. Hopefully, that will help spring sports to slowly get outdoors, although it's going to take a while - possibly a long while.

Track and field has been practicing indoors, getting ready for the first meet of the season, which will be indoors, at the Pembina County Invitational in Grand Forks on March 26.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich will have just one head coach this year, as Rich Olson decided to take the season off. Jane Hart will be the overall head coach of Cardinals track with four assistants - Ken Carwile, Andrea Lorenz, Loren Fetsch, Zach Nye, and

The Borderland Press

Davonte Riley. Langdon is scheduled to host home meets on April 12 and 28, although obviously the weather is really going to have to warm up to get the first one in. A jr. high meet is also scheduled for May 3.

Pembina County North track will be helmed once again this year by Jeff Manley from Cavalier, but on the North Border side of the co-op, Lee Beattie will coach the Pembina kids and David Clausen for Walhalla.

March 21 is the opening day for boys baseball and girls softball across North Dakota. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will have something new this year, as girls softball will be a new sport for the Cardinals. Traci Murphy will be the head coach, assisted by Taylor Agnes, in this new venture. We were told there are several girls signed up to play. The Cardinals baseball team is coming off a state championship from last season, and they will be coached again by Josh Krivarchka, Tanner Groth, and Kade Pengilly. Pembina County North baseball will have Kelly Clutchie running the show again this season, although last year they did not have any North Border kids playing. For Grizzlies softball, as of press time, Casey Kreig and Brooke McKay were set to run that program. Boys golf is a couple weeks away, which we will talk about when we get to that point.

Spring sports are a busy short season, and look for a spring sports preview for everything in weeks ahead, including rosters, schedules and more.

"See ya!" next week!

Eagles Lose in Semis of Region 2 Tournament, Finish Season with 20-3 Record Johnson, Stainbrook, Cosley make All-Region 2 Team

By Jake Kulland

The North Border Eagles boys basketball team entered the 2022 Region 2 Boys Basketball Tournament with eyes on making the State B tournament, for the first time in 15 years, when they played in Grand Forks March 7-10. The Eagles rolled to a 77-62 win over Cavalier in the first round then were stunned by Hillsboro-Central Valley 47-36 in the semifinals. They ended their season with a 69-66 win over Thompson to take third place. The Eagles finish with a record of 20-3 and three seniors - Jaxen Johnson, Kyler Moore and Logan Peterson - all ended great careers for North Border boys basketball. Johnson, Ayden Stainbrook, and TJ Cosley all made the All-Region 4 Team. Gannon Limke of the Burros was named Region 2 Senior Athlete of the Year with Brandy George of Thompson Region 2 Coach of the Year. Grafton beat H-CV 64-62 to win the regional title and advance to the State Class B Tournament March 17-19 at the MSUDome in Minot. It was a great year for Eagles basketball, and with Stainbrook and Cosley, the top two scorers in the region coming back next year as seniors, 2023 should be a great year as well. Here is a recap of North Border's three games at the Region 2 Tourney:

(64.3%); C: 8/12 (66.7%)

North Border 77, Cavalier 62 The Eagles opened the tournament playing the Tornadoes for the third time this season with the second meeting in doubt until deep into the third quarter. The third time would not be the charm for Cavalier, however, as North Border got out to a 26-14 lead in the second quarter only to see the Tornadoes go on a 10-0 run to cut the lead to just two points.

North Border then took off on a 10-0 run of their own, highlighted by an alley oop dunk from TJ Cosley to Ayden Stainbrook, who also hit a couple of 3-pointers to help give the Eagles a 40-27 lead at the half. They maintained that lead the rest of the way.

Stainbrook had his best game of the season with 39 points on 15 of 24 shooting from the field, which included seven 3-pointers, and also pulled down a team high seven rebounds.

TJ Cosley had 20 points and five assists, while his younger brother Grant led the team with six dimes. Talan Devine had five 3's and 17 points to lead Cavalier.

Hillsboro-Central Valley 47, North Border 36 The Eagles can't complain about the start they had against the Burros.

An Ayden Stainbrook slam dunk got the team out to a 9-2 lead in the first quarter, and things were looking good.

H-CV battled back and tied the game at 20 at the half. A huge moment that helped decide the game came in the last minute of the third quarter. Burros sophomore Jacob Brandt, who made just three field goals the entire game, hit two 3-pointers to end the third, which pushed a four point lead for H-CV to 10 at 35-25.

In the fourth quarter, the Eagles finally got the lead down to single digits on a Kyler Moore 3-pointer, but it came with just 39 seconds left. The Burros hit their free throws and got the win. After the game, the North Border stats were not pretty. They shot just under 27 percent for the game, were only 2 for 21 from beyond the arc, and got out-rebounded 50-21. H-CV had 19 offensive rebounds on the night.

TJ Cosley was the only Eagle in double figures with 16 points, while Gannon Limke matched him with 16 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Burros.

North Border 69, Thompson 66 The Eagles beat every team in Region 2 this season when they got a victory in the third and fourth place game against Thompson. After falling behind 33-30 at the half, North Border got it together, grabbed the lead, and pushed to double digits with another dunk by Stainbrook to get the win.

TJ Cosley led the Eagles with 20 points followed by Stainbrook with 14. All three of the Eagles seniors got on the scoreboard in their last games with nine from Jaxen Johnson, eight by Kyler Moore - including two 3-pointers, and three from Logan Peterson. Johnson also led the team with 11 rebounds, four assists, and four blocked shots on the night. Jake Starcevic had 22 to pace the Tommies.

Cavalier County Commission Proceedings On March 1, 2022 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 Greg Goodman called the meeting to order and proceeded as follows: Goodman asked if there were any changes to the agenda. Nick Moser made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Stanley Dick; motion carried. David Zeis made a motion to approve the minutes from the last two commission meetings, seconded by Austin Lafrenz; motion carried. Lawrence Henry and Karen Kempert met with the commissioners on behalf of the ARPA Committee. A list of the committee’s proposals and recommendations for the use of the ARPA funds was presented to the commissioners. It was decided that the committee would meet again. It was discussed that if funds were disbursed to other entities, paid invoices would first need to be submitted. Karen Kempert also discussed the latest option for the county to use some of the funds for a GIS contract with NDACo. Kempert also presented an Employer Commitment to the commissioners which would allow Kempert to take annual leave for a duration of 7-14 days to assist the ND Dept of Emergency Services and NDDES Reserve Corps Program if there were a disaster needing assistance in ND. David Zeis made a motion to approve the Employer Commitment, seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Steph Welsh, Public Health, met with the commissioners and requested approval to pay travel expense for Bailey Schrader to attend ICS training in Grand Forks. Nick Moser made a motion to approve paying the travel expense requested, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. Cindy Stremick, Treasurer, met with the commissioners and made a request to install carpet in the Treasurer’s Office with Motor Vehicle funds, seconded by David Zeis. Motion carried with three commissioners voting in favor. Stanley Dick voted “no” and Austin Lafrenz abstained from voting due to a conflict of interest. Greg Fetch, Sheriff, met with the commissioners and informed them that a new Deputy Sheriff had been hired and that he was able to get a new patrol vehicle from Nelson Auto Center. Stanley Dick made a motion to pay for the new patrol vehicle from Nelson Auto Center and equipment for the vehicle from Code 4 with ARPA (COVID) funds, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Letters of interest from TR Waind Insurance Agency and Mostad Insurance Services, Inc. were reviewed

to be the county’s agent for NDIRF and Fire & Tornado Fund. Jeff Schneider and Jeff Mostad were in attendance.

Nick Moser made a motion for Mostad Insurance Services, Inc. to be the county’s NDIRF and Fire & Tornado agent for three (3) years, seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. Greg Goodman abstained from the vote due to a conflict of interest. Steph Bata, Tax Director, met with the commissioners to review the temporary contract with Langdon City for assessing parcels for 2022. Stanley Dick made a motion to approve the contract, seconded by David Zeis, motion carried. It was decided that Greg Goodman and Bata would get on the agenda for the next Langdon City Commission meeting to get an update on what parcels they need help assessing. Dallas Witzel, Mt. Carmel Township, met with the commissioners to request replacing the closed bridge between Sections 27 & 28 with (2) 72” X 50’ culverts, with an estimated cost of $48,900.00 from Witzel Construction. Witzel explained that the township was struggling to keep roads open in the township and that the township board felt this would be a good alternative route to be able to keep open in the winter. The commissioners requested a hydrology study to make sure the proposed culverts would be sufficient before a decision is made. Terry Johnston, Road Supervisor, and Jeff Daley, KLJ, met with the commissioners and discussed the DOT funding the county received for bridges in Dresden and South Olga Townships. The RFP process for an engineer for the projects was discussed. There was discussion on the seasonal snowplow operators making sure their equipment is repaired and serviced at the end of the season. The new pickup at D&B Motors was discussed. David Zeis made a motion to pay the additional $3,400 to D&B for the year newer model, seconded by Nick Moser, motion carried. It was decided the pickup would go to the Munich shop and the current pickup in Munich would be put on the public auction this summer. Nick Moser made a motion to put the following measure on the ballot for the 2022 Primary Election: Cavalier County currently levies a total of 34.25 mills for road levies. Current levying authority beyond 10 mills will be expiring and a majority vote is required to continue a maximum levy of 30 mills for Road & Bridge. Should the Cavalier County Commissioners have the authority to levy up to 30 mills in the County Road & Bridge Fund, per NDCC Chapter 57-15-06.7(5)? Yes – means you are in favor of levy authority up to 30 mills for Road & Bridge No – means you are NOT in favor of levy authority up

to 30 mills for Road & Bridge. Motion seconded by Austin Lafrenz, motion carried. The commissioners reiterated that the levy authority of up to 30 mills would provide funds for regular road maintenance, as well as required matching funds for future road projects with state/federal funds. The commissioners also discussed that a levy of 30 mills for roads would be the lowest the total road levies have been since 2008.

Austin Lafrenz made a motion to transfer $555,870 from Road & Bridge Excess Levy Fund to Capital Improvement Fund for the next pavement overlay project (currently Co. 6 – estimated cost of $3 million) to be completed when the county accrues enough federal road funding (estimated to be completed in 2024), seconded by Stanley Dick, motion carried. Nick Moser made a motion, seconded by Stanley Dick to review and approve the following audit of claims; motion carried: ERLING'S OIL, INC. | $4,452.79 | R&B • BRADLEY GUSTAFSON | $968.85 • ABATEMENT CAPITAL ONE TRADE CREDIT (MAC'S HARDWARE) | $563.84 | R&B • WEST PAYMENT CENTER | $250.32 | STATE'S ATTY • LANGDON FIRE EQUIPMENT | $180.00 | MAINT • PREMIUM WATERS, INC. | $83.09 | MISC • JOHNSON CONTROLS FIRE PROTECTION LP | $1,514.23 | MAINT • MONTANA-DAKOTA UTILITIES | $4,000.83 | GEN/R&B • OTTER TAIL POWER CO | $3,769.61 | GEN/R&B • INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPT. | $4,555.54 | GEN/E-911 • KEIL ENTERPRISES | $249.00 | SHERIFF • UNIFORM CENTER | $528.00 | SHERIFF • MID-CONTINENT CABLE CO. | $107.59 | DISP • ROLETTE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE | $840.00 | SHERIFF • HAMPTON INN & SUITES | $172.80 | SHERIFF • NORTH PRAIRIE AG | $9.44 | R&B • CAVALIER RURAL ELECTRIC COOP. | $165.72 | R&B • MUNICH ELEVATOR & OIL CO. | $3,861.00 | R&B • FARMERS UNION OIL CO | $80.53 | VSO • CURTIS STEINOLFSON | $30.01 | VSO • CURTIS STEINOLFSON | $20.00 | VSO • KATIE HENRY | $30.00 | NDSU EXT. • NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY - DEPT 3110 | $160.00 | NDSU EX TR • XEROX CORPORATION | $212.93 | NDSU EXT. • LANGDON CITY | $118.99 | SS • PREMIUM WATERS, INC. | $29.39 | SS • OTTER TAIL POWER CO | $ 127.30 | SS • JILL DENAULT | $68.13 | NVHSZ • AMY KRAM | $100.00 | NVHSZ • DEBRA FRASER | $50.00 | NVHSZ • DAVID J.
