All three designs were submitted by local artists and can be found at Langdon City Hall, 328 8th Ave., until Sept. 15. Ballots can be cast at city hall or picked up and returned to city hall before voting closes.

Organizers recommend that people base their votes on the design concept that best represents the history, culture, and uniqueness of Langdon and for its ability to be easily represented on an outdoor wall in the approximate size of 10 feet by 20 feet.

The winning design will be transformed into an outdoor wall mural on the south side of the FM Mall building on Main Street in Langdon. Commit-

tee members of the Northern Lights Arts Council and the Rendezvous Region Tourism Council narrowed the submissions down to the final three.

The final design will be announced Sept. 18. The committee will then work with the chosen artist to locate volunteers willing to help implement the design. Members of the Northern Lights Arts Council are helping coordinate the cleaning of the mural site and painting of the mural.

This project is funded with a North Dakota Council on the Arts grant, a cash match from Rendezvous Region Tourism Council (RRTC), and dollars from the Langdon lodging tax fund.

Completion of the mural is set for mid-June with a public reveal event set for June 30, 2024. The grant is coordinated by RRTC members. The Rendezvous Region Tourism Council represents Cavalier, Pembina, and Walsh County communities in northeastern North Dakota. The council’s mission is to build a cohesive tourism brand through education, marketing, and amenity enhancement.

Upland, youth pheasant seasons on the horizon

By North Dakota Game and Fish

Since we’re into September, hunting seasons for upland game in North Dakota open soon. The season opens for sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge and ruffed grouse on Sept.

9. Following that, the two-day youth pheasant season for legally licensed residents and nonresidents ages 15 and younger opens Sept. 30.

Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Sharptails, ruffed grouse and partridge each have a daily limit of three and a possession limit of 12. The daily limit for the youth pheasant season is also three birds, but the possession limit is six.

All hunters, regardless of age, must have a general game and habitat license. In addition, hunters 16 and older need a small game license.

Grouse and partridge hunters should refer to North Dakota OUTDOORS August-September issue for an outlook

on the fall hunting season, available online by the season opener on the state Game and Fish Department’s website gf.nd.gov.

Hunters are urged to keep up with the daily rural fire danger index issued by the National Weather Service to alert the public to conditions that may be conducive to accidental starting or spread of fires. County governments also have the authority to adopt penalties for violations of county restrictions related to burning bans. These restrictions apply regardless of the daily fire danger index and remain in place until each county’s commission rescinds the ban. Information on current fire danger indexes is available through ndresponse.gov.

For other season information and regulations, hunters should consult the “North Dakota 2023-24 Hunting and Trapping Guide.”

Cavalier County traffic stop leads to discovery of arrest warrants According to a news release, Pusakulich became uncooperative with the officer and was transported to Langdon Prairie Health for clearance before taking her to the correctional center. While at the Langdon Prairie Health, Pusakulich attempted to flee the deputy on foot and was further restrained after a short foot pursuit. After Pusakulich was further restrained, she threatened to kill officers on scene. Pusakulich also spit saliva on medical staff and officers.

Vocational center moving forward in Cavalier

By Nick Vorlage

Groundbreaking is set to begin soon for a new vocational center in Cavalier.

The center is coming together thanks to the help of many people. Matt Ford, Cavalier Public School superintendent, said Mike Hanson from North Valley Vocational Center in Grafton was instrumental in the process. He’s also grateful for community support.

“We received a grant, and they would match our funds that we would raise, and we raised over a million dollars

within our community,” Ford said.

Ford said the new center will be broken down into four main classrooms, each focusing on a different discipline: agriculture, business, health careers, and IT. Although the center will be located beside the Cavalier Public School campus, Ford said it is hoped it could be used for students from across the region.

“We’re hoping that this catches on and various schools can team up with us to come to our career and tech center and share that great education,” Ford.

Ford said he personally appreciates all the area businesses and individuals who have contributed towards the center and said the new facility is expected to be operational sometime in 2024.

City of Langdon holds regular meeting

By Sarah Hinnenkamp

The Langdon City Commission held its regular meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 28 in the City Commission Chambers of City Hall.

Department reports The Street Department reported they have finished a round of spraying weeds and finished street sweeping.

Tri-State has been in town making minor street repairs that the city has approved in the past.

The Water and Sewer Department reported that a fire hydrant by the el-

evator with barricades put up around it has been hit twice. The city engineer advised that removing the fire hydrant would not lose water volume, and there is another hydrant 100 feet away. The department will discuss with Fire Commissioner Lawrence Henry to get direction.

RoxAnne Hoffarth, city auditor, reported that she met with a company called Civic Plus, which is a web development and android apps business headquartered in Manhattan, Kansas. The company specializes in building city and county e-government communication systems. Hoffarth met with the company about organizing city ordinances. The annual fee for the service is $3,050 each year for the first two years, going up by 3% the third year to $3,150. The software will allow searches of city minutes, link ordinances and minutes on the city’s website, and records the history of changed ordinances. Every year the city will receive three printed copies of an ordinance book for reference. There will be an online version, as well, for citizens and commissioners to use.

“If someone called you and wanted to know the fence ordinance, you could pull it up on your phone and email it to

them or they can go online and look it up,” Hoffarth told commissioners.

Commissioner Cody Schlittenhard made a motion to accept the contract, Commissioner Jim Rademacher seconded, and the motion carried.

Hoffarth also reported that members of North Dakota Rural Leadership were in Cavalier County, touring Nekoma and staying at Mt. Carmel Dam. The group put on 126 miles on ATVs around the Pembina Gorge and enjoyed brunch at Frost Fire Park where they heard about the history and future of the park.

Water cost update Hoffarth reported meeting with Jason Busse, supervisor of the Water and Sewer Department, to see how to make up the nearly $80,000 that the city owes to Northeast Regional Water District for water usage. They are in the process of developing a four year plan to get there. They are looking at a $3.27 increase per customer, putting the monthly cost for customer’s water in the city at $7.08. After talking to the city engineer, he thinks they can get the cost down lower.

Consider supplementation strategies to stretch limited pasture resources Supplementing on pasture or range can help stretch available forage and allow farmers and ranchers to maintain “normal” stocking rates this fall.

By NDSU Extension

EPA & Corps issue new WOTUS definition – The Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers have issued its final rule amending its definition of the Waters of the United States. This change was necessary after a recent Supreme Court decision. The EPA plans to lead a webinar detailing the updated WOTUS definition on Sept. 12.

Revised WOTUS rule does not apply to 27 states – Due to a federal court injunction, the updated Waters of the United States rule does not apply in North Dakota and 26 other states. The WOTUS definition implemented before 2015 is in place for these states. North Dakota Senator John Hoeven remains opposed to the rule, describing it as ‘regulatory overreach’ without public input.

Drought triggers LFP in North Dakota – North Dakota Farm Service Agency Executive Director Marcy Svenningsen says with drought progressing in northern North Dakota, eight counties are now eligible for the Livestock Forage Program. The

list includes Bottineau, Rolette, Towner, Cavalier, Ramsey, Benson, Pierce and McHenry counties. “This means those ranchers with reduced forage from pastures are eligible for a forage payment. When you hit D3 drought, that automatically triggers a payment.” During 2021 when North Dakota suffered from a widespread severe drought, LFP paid out $83 million.

Langdon crop is ‘somewhat surprising’ – The Red River Farm Network team traveled to Langdon, North Dakota, to kick off the second day of the annual crop tour. The local crop looks good, especially considering the dry growing conditions. Brock Mitchell, who owns Ag365, reports wheat and peas are being harvested, and yields have been “somewhat surprising.” Standing in front of his Pioneer corn plot, Mitchell said most of the corn is at threequarter milk line. “A week or ten days should finish a lot of it off on the early corn. As we get to the later maturities, we’re looking at two or two-and-a-half weeks yet.”

Northern Ag Snips

By Bailey Reiser, NDSU Extension - Cavalier County, Agriculture and Natural Resources vesting a field and before they go to seed to prevent spreading the seed in equipment. Here is a link https:// www.ag.ndsu.edu/palmeramaranth on how to properly clean out equipment to prevent seed spread. Waterhemp and other pigweed species can produce up to a million seeds per plant!

Harvest is fully underway. Farmers aren’t the only ones taking advantage of the frequent warm weather and rains.

Weeds are starting to reach maturity and set seeds just like the crops. Last week while out scouting, I found Waterhemp plants along Highway 66 on the north side of the road in the ditch.

I sent a few samples off to the genotyping center for herbicide resistances and genetic verification. NDSU offers a publication, “Identification, Biology and Control of Palmer Amaranth and Waterhemp in North Dakota.” It is a great resource to help identify characteristics between Waterhemp, Palmer Amaranth, and Powell Amaranth that can easily be mistaken for each other.

When it comes to Waterhemp, there is a lot of variation between the biotypes such as petiole length, stem characteristic, seed heads, color, etc. - so proper identification is crucial.

With it being harvest, it is important to remove these weeds before har-

Be on the lookout and be scouting fields if you have large patches of weeds as well as checking drainage ditches. Some of the plants that I found were among Kochia and Common lambsquarters in the ditch, and if I wasn’t paying attention, I would have missed them. Some of the plants were also as tall as me, and I am 5’11”, along with some shorter at about a foot tall.

What to do if you suspect a weed that needs to be identified or you aren’t sure of: 1. First things first, contact Josh Short (701)-370-8927 or myself (701-2562560 or cell- 701-652-5954).

2. DO NOT pull the suspected weed– instead take pictures and mark the GPS coordinates where the plant was found.

Josh and I will then work together and contact those who we need to follow up with.

Please call the NDSU Extension office with any questions.

Drought conditions in portions of North Dakota are forcing some farmers and ranchers to consider their options, according to North Dakota State University Extension specialists.

Currently 30% of the state is experiencing some level of drought with several counties in northern North Dakota experiencing severe drought (D2). Producers in these areas are experiencing below normal forage production and poor pasture conditions.

“Drought-affected pastures and native ranges generally do not produce adequate forage to maintain normal stocking rates,” says Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist.

“Stocking rate can be adjusted by reducing the number of animals and/or the length of the grazing period. Farmers and ranchers must make the decision to sell cattle, relocate cattle to a drylot, or provide supplemental feed to offset nutrient deficiencies in the forage or replace a portion of pasture or range intake.”

Reductions in stocking rate will benefit range plants by reducing stress and providing more forage for the remaining cattle, Meehan adds. When stocking rates are reduced, only small effects on weaning weight may be noted. If stocking rates are not reduced, supplemental feeding is necessary to maintain herd productivity and alleviate grazing pressure. Additionally, producers will likely see a decrease in forage production on pastures that are overstocked the subsequent grazing season.

that should be considered when making decisions about supplements include forage supply, protein content, body condition, and cost and availability of supplements.”

“If forage production is limited, farmers and ranchers may wish to replace a portion of pasture intake with supplemental feed,” says Karl Hoppe, NDSU Extension livestock systems specialist based at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center. “Feeding harvested forages such as alfalfa or annual forages on pasture is one option; however, forage supplies are already short in many situations. It is also challenging to get cattle to consume harvested forage while on pasture.”

Farmers and ranchers should provide at least 0.5% of bodyweight of alfalfa hay daily to replace pasture intake with alfalfa hay. It is recommended to supplement harvested forages on tame pasture over native pasture to reduce the introduction of undesirable plant species on native range.

Grain-based supplements can reduce forage intake by providing a substitution effect. However, cereal grains contain starch and sugars, which will lower ruminal pH and reduce forage digestibility, especially at higher feeding levels. This results in less energy from available pasture or range to the animal. Therefore, cereal grain supplements should be limited to 0.25% of bodyweight to minimize the negative effects on forage utilization.

For some grains, processing may be necessary for optimum use by cattle. Corn and oats can be fed whole but may be better utilized if coarsely rolled before feeding. Barley and wheat should be coarsely rolled.

Unlike protein supplements, energy supplements should be delivered daily for optimal performance to avoid excess energy intake and maintain optimum conditions in the rumen.

Fibrous by-product feeds, such as soyhulls, wheat middlings, corn gluten feed, distillers grains, beet pulp and brewers grains, contain low levels of starch and sugars, but high total digestible nutrient values have less negative impacts on forage intake and digestibility. However, fibrous by-product feeds should be supplemented at levels greater than 0.6% of bodyweight daily to replace pasture or range intake.

Farmers and ranchers may consider feeding cattle in a drylot if pasture conditions are extremely poor. This may be more cost-effective than supplementation if large amounts of supplement must be transported and fed to cattle daily. In addition, it may allow pastures a much-needed rest period to begin recovering from the drought.

For additional information on supplementation strategies, view the NDSU Extension publications “Drylot Beef Cow-Calf Production” at ndsu.ag/drylot and “Alternative Feeds for Ruminants” at ndsu.ag/alternativefeeds, or contact your county NDSU Extension agent.

Supplementing on pasture or range can help stretch available forage and allow farmers and ranchers to maintain “normal” stocking rates this fall.

However, caution must be taken when considering supplementation strategies when the goal is to replace pasture or range intake.

“The main objective of supplementation programs is to meet nutrient requirements as efficiently and economically as possible,” says Zac Carlson, NDSU Extension beef cattle specialist. “The thought of replacing pasture or range with feed for cattle grazing would be to substitute daily pasture intake with an economical feed that doesn’t negatively impact forage digestion. To do that, factors

Farmers Union pushes Congress to focus on farm bill (JAMESTOWN, N.D.) – North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU) members will urge Congress to focus on a new farm bill next week when they join hundreds of family farmers and ranchers on Capitol Hill for the National Farmers Union Legislative Fly-in, Sept. 1113.

The current farm bill, written in 2018, is set to expire Sept. 30. While passage of a new farm bill by the end of September is unlikely, Farmers Union leaders say the timing of their lobbying effort couldn’t be more important.

“The agriculture committees have yet to even produce a draft farm bill

proposal. It’s really unfortunate, but it gives us a tremendous opportunity to frame the discussion and content of the next bill,” said NDFU President Mark Watne.

He said NDFU is advocating for a stronger farm safety net, new and improved permanent disaster programs, and farmer-friendly climate provisions in the new five-year bill. Farmers Union is also urging the enactment of a competition title to increase fairness in the marketplace and address corporate consolidation in food and ag markets.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vil-

sack will also be meeting with Farmers Union members. Additionally, the delegation will meet with agency representatives from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Department of Justice, and Federal Trade Commission.

“We need a strong farm bill that supports farmers, ranchers and consumers,” said Watne. “It is our best investment tool to maintain the abundant food supply we all enjoy in this country.”

Participants intend to visit all 535 congressional offices.

The Borderland Press

Letter from the Publisher I guess it’s time to use the F word… fall. The leaves are flying by the window, wheat is in the bin, school kids have that funky recess smell. Homecoming ended in a win for Cardinal football; congrats to the coaches and players!

Our family gathered in Langdon last weekend for dinner that I didn’t have to prepare! My daughters are good cooks and did all the work. Everyone joined in on the clean up. There was a new puppy to admire, Hugo - very small, soft and cute. The three day

weekend agreed with me very well, how about you?

There’s an exciting thing happening at the Cavalier County Sheriff’s Department! Their office is in the process of purchasing a K9 named Reign, trained in narcotics detection, human tracking, and evidence tracking. Community safety is a top priority for the department, and Reign will be a big part of that. He’ll also be used to build public relations by attending county events, schools and more. I, for one, as a resident of the City of

Langdon, will embrace any tools available to our Sheriff’s Department in order for them to keep our city safe - for our children, especially.

As with any improvements, no matter what they are, there’s an expense.

Reign is no different. Budgets for public resources are often limited and sometimes depend on community support. Please give this some serious consideration. Our companies will be helping and hope you will, too.

Also, a shout out to our mayor in Langdon, Jerry Nowatzki. Thank you

for your efforts to get our town looking a bit nicer and neater. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Welcome to our new subscribers, including readers from Neche, Pembina, and St. Thomas. We’re so happy to have you!

As we camped near Mt. Carmel Dam over the Labor Day weekend, we received late breaking news of a minor geomagnetic storm and thought everything was coming together for us to finally see a great northern lights show.

We are continuing to welcome a wave of new subscribers. Welcome! Thank you for joining us around here.

I also want to thank you for sending in your news. It is really helping us cover more ground and add depth to the content in each issue. Here’s a special shout out to contributor Ashely Schafer for taking the time to send over pictures from North Border Eagles youth football.

They say it takes great patience to dance with the northern lights, and that’s true. It’s also true that we don’t have much patience. We don’t have any at all, really. We were bummed to learn that we lost our viewing opportunity to those east of us in Minnesota, Michigan, and up in Ontario. At least someone got a bold show from Mother Nature. Northern lights viewing is never guaranteed, as evidenced by our experience. The conditions were perfect, but it just didn’t work out.

What we got was still pretty cool: a beautiful moon, just coming off of its full moon status, and a sky dotted with stars. We heard plenty of sounds coming from the trees and off in the distance, including owls, something mooing, and a sound that could only be described as Bigfoot sneezing. It wasn’t the adventure we thought it would be, but it was still an adventure in the great outdoors.

Whether it’s harvest, health, or other things, take extra care of yourself and each other. It really has been quite the week.

We erased the disappointment we felt by enjoying a wonderful picnic at the Cavalier County Museum in Dresden. It’s a great group that puts on fundraising events twice a year, and you never leave hungry. The best part is that the funds raised go to support projects and maintenance of the museum. We enjoyed grilled burgers, baked beans, yummy potato salad, lemonade, and there was even a variety of pie slices for dessert.

I heard many people say the phrase “it’s been quite the week”, and I started hearing that on Tuesday.

THE MORNING RUN: Not your average Labor Day ful to those who offered help with harvest, checked on our cats, and brought food and other necessities, like wine. I have said it many times before and will say it again, we live in the best community, and I’m so grateful at times like this.

By Sara Goodman I would guess by now many of you are aware that my mother-in-law, Carol, has been hospitalized with congestive heart failure and suffered a heart attack while in the hospital. As I write this, she has been making small but consistent improvements every day, and we are hopeful this trend will continue for the duration of her hospital stay. We are very grateful to everyone who reached out with texts, calls and messages of support. We are thank-

Carol is a tough lady…probably too tough. Years ago, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and in more recent years has suffered with arthritis along with a few other aches and pains.

Outside of that, she seemed to be the picture of health. She has always been very active, working full-time and then going home to tend to her house and extensive yard and landscaping.

I often find her busy pulling weeds, sweeping leaves or picking up branches around the yard. The house is always spotless, and you could, quite literally, eat off the floor. I very rarely hear her voice a complaint unless she has really overdone it. Over the past year, symptoms of her heart condition started showing up that she brushed off as a new fibromyalgia issue, arthritis flare-up, or simply stress. The long,

harsh winter added to her misery, and she felt her lack of energy could be attributed to the weather more than anything else. As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20, and we now know that these new symptoms were classic signs of an impending heart attack. She checked every box for heart attack warning signs including chest pain and discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, and pain in her jaw, neck and back.

As a family we are doing what we can to be with Carol at all times to keep updated on her progress, ask questions and make decisions until she can do these things herself. Life outside the hospital, however, doesn’t stop, so the harvest continues, kids are back in school, work responsibilities need to be dealt with and everyone needs an occasional break from it all.

After school and volleyball practice, I have continued to deliver meals to the farm, and in light of my new job preventing me from my usual daytime hours at home, I’ve tried to keep

meals very simple and quick to prepare. A favorite easy meal that everyone loves are slider sandwiches.

Here’s the recipe!

Ham and Swiss Slider Sandwiches 12 count package Kings Hawaiian rolls (or brioche slider buns) 12 slices swiss cheese 12 ounces thin sliced deli ham ½ cup butter, melted 2 Tbps Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp dried minced onion 1 tsp ground mustard 1 tsp poppy seeds

Sara Goodman is an avid runner who says her best ideas come to her between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. She grew up on a cattle ranch in Watford City, N.D. After recently retiring from 15 years of long-term care consulting, she now helps her husband, Greg, run the family farm near Milton and volunteers on many boards and committees in her church and community.

The Goodman house has three kids, school cats, and a dog.

Slice the rolls in half and place the bottom halves in a 9x13 baking dish.

Place ham and cheese on the bottom of the sliced rolls. Cover with the top half of the rolls. Mix the remaining five ingredients together in a small bowl and spoon over the tops of the sandwiches. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate for 1 to 24 hours.

Bake, covered, in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 25 minutes. Best served warm!

Musings from Munich: The Herd is on the Move talk about today, Tuesday, and the rain day it gives the farming families.

Granted, I know it is a hiccup in finishing by Halloween, but sometimes the folks upstairs know what we need more than we do. So on this glorious wet day, here is what I notice over here in Munich…a perfect paradise.

By Matt Mitzel No, I’m not talking about the Bison scoring yet another touchdown - I am talking about a rain day in the middle of harvest. As I rumble through my countless columns to submit this week, I decided to scrap them all and

First off, you would think the elevator would be empty today, but low and behold the crew shows up before the sun and quickly gets the coffee brewing. The inevitable discussion about whose rain gauge is more accurate is about to start. That is where farmers and I differ as I measure moisture in inch fractions, and they measure it in hundredths. After numerous bar discussions about this technique, I realize that 15 hundredths is significantly different than “less than a quarter inch” as that could be the determining

factor in spraying and such. Today…

Jason reported to me that he received 75 hundredths, so my “three quarters of an inch” will suffice without argument in the elevator.

Next is the migration to either Langdon or Devils Lake. I am in the middle of a remodel and needed a part, so right after I dropped the kids off at school, I zoomed down to DL. At 9:30, while I was preparing to head back to civilization, I started receiving the phone calls…and peer pressure. You see, there might be a perfectly logical reason for their trip - IE parts, pants, or supplies - but mostly the purpose is to have a sitdown lunch with a couple of beers. I was on a deadline, so I continued up north passing countless pickups full of farmers and farmhands smiling ear to ear. Even an attempted road block wouldn’t stop me, as they

mean business, but unfortunately, so do I today.

Finally, as the day progresses, the realization of tomorrow being a start to another nine-day work week sets in and now is really when the partying starts. Houses get cleaned, laundry gets done, and whatever sporting events that didn’t get canceled are well attended by all. Not preparing field meals has turned into a baking paradise as the scent of freshly baked buns are wafting through town. As for me, I’m going to keep on my path of remodeling this damn master bedroom bathroom and try and figure out how to not mess up the plans my wife has so painstakingly drawn up for me.

Matt Mitzel is the unofficial events coordinator for Munich, a supporter of Langdon-Edmore-Munich athletics,

football coach, and all-around Munich mega fan, earning him the nickname “Mr. Munich.”

Pembilier Nursing Center update: Danny Elvis

By Heather Duerre

around the metal orb at the circus without ever crashing into each other!

I knew the task of finding something just as exciting as those would be a big challenge. However, when I looked at the faces of each resident shaking the dice cup that day, I knew the struggle would be worth it to see the joy in their eyes.

Greetings from your friends at PNC! I have some super-duper exciting news to share with all of you today. On Sept.

30, our residents will get to see Johnny Cash and Elvis in person! Ok, so it’s actually Danny Elvis from Branson, Missouri, who impersonates both Johnny Cash and Elvis. In any case, I am pretty excited and “All Shook Up” about the whole thing.

So, let me take you along on my journey of getting Danny Elvis from Branson, Missouri, all the way to Walhalla.

I was sitting in my office on a cold and rainy day. The residents were in the next room playing Onesy-Twosy and laughing up a storm. As I sat listening to the laughter, I contemplated what we could bring in for the residents that would give them something to really be excited about. I wanted something that would be as exciting as being a kid sitting on Santa’s lap telling him about all of the presents they’re dreaming of. That is unless you were a kid that was terrified of Santa… then think of it as being as exciting as watching three motorcycles ride

As I brainstormed, I remembered a few years back seeing an Elvis impersonator at Icelandic State Park as part of ND State Parks and Rec 50th Anniversary. The crowd was wild for him, especially the ladies when he tossed them a teddy bear or wrapped one of his scarves around their necks. One lady even fainted from all the excitement! Ok, so the fainting lady thing never happened, but he really was a big hit with the enormous crowd that lined the beach of the park. I knew this show would be just the thing I was looking for. It would provide the level of excitement for our residents that I had been dreaming about for at least 10 minutes. I just had to figure out how to find this mystery Elvis man.

I felt like I was twelve years old again, and I was trying to find Carmen Sandiego with a small amount of clues. Ok, so I fibbed again - it wasn’t really that difficult. Thankfully, my husband is the manager of Icelandic State Park, so getting the information I needed was pretty easy.

After I gathered all the information I needed, I made the call to Danny Elvis. I knew he was both a Johnny Cash and an Elvis impersonator, so I struggled as to which one I should ask him to be for our show. However, much to my delight, when I asked him if I would have to choose between Johnny Cash

and Elvis, he said words that were music to my ears. He said “Oh no, you don’t have to choose. I open up for Elvis as Johnny Cash.” Say what!? You read that right, he starts with a tribute to Johnny Cash and then does a costume change only to reenter the stage as Elvis! Amazingly, and this is speaking from my own experience, Danny Elvis looks and sounds like both Johnny Cash and Elvis. After months of talking back and forth trying to figure out a date etc., a contract was signed!

Woohoo! So, PNC and Walla Theater are teaming up to bring this show all the way from Branson, Missouri, to the Walla Theater on September 30th at 7pm. All proceeds from the ticket sales will be split between the two non-profit organizations. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget the residents. Danny Elvis generously agreed to give our residents their very own private show early that same day. Since I told the residents, I’ve noticed a few of the ladies wearing extra lipstick and practicing their excited squeals.

“Suspicious Minds” may think this story can’t be true, but it is! You may even be thinking to yourself that you don’t really need to go to this because “I’ve Been Everywhere” and I’ve seen everything. I highly doubt that you have ever seen a show like this! So, buy your ticket today, and remember “Don’t be Cruel,” buy one for your friend, too! No worries though - if, on September 30th, you ask yourself “Are you Lonesome Tonight?” and your answer is yes, remember that doesn’t have to be the case. You can head on down to the Walla Theater and watch a tribute to Johnny Cash and Elvis. Tickets will be available at the door!

Class planned for caregivers of children with special health and behavioral needs Caring for a child with special health or behavioral needs can be physically, emotionally and financially draining. To help improve the lives of family caregivers in our communities, NDSU Extension/Pembina County is facilitating the “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” program for caregivers of children with special health and behavioral needs, Oct. 31-Dec. 5, 2023.

This self-care educational program focuses on minimizing the stress of caregiving and emphasizing self-care for family caregivers such as parents or grandparents raising children with special health or behavioral needs such as emotional/behavioral disorders, intellectual/developmental dis-

abilities, autism, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injury, etc.

In the six weekly classes, caregivers will develop a wealth of self-care tools to reduce personal stress, change negative self-talk, communicate their needs to family and healthcare or service providers, communicate effectively in challenging situations, recognize the messages in their emotions, deal with difficult feelings, and make tough caregiving decisions. Class participants also receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook.

The class series is FREE and will be held in-person on Tuesdays at the

Pembina County Courthouse from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Two experienced class leaders conduct the series (many are experienced caregivers themselves, who have successfully applied the techniques they teach).

Interactive lessons, discussions, and brainstorming will help you take the “tools” you choose and put them into action for your life.

For more information or to register, contact Nikki Schmidt at 701-2658411 or visit https://www.ndc3.org/ Classes/Register/352. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required by Oct. 20.

Pet Corner: National Dog Day

By Rosemary Ames

media that day, you had many pet owners posting pictures of their beloved canine friends.

August 26 wasn’t just another day, especially if you own a dog. This is when we dog lover’s got to celebrate our dog - National Dog Day! Although this year’s celebration has come and gone, if you looked around on social

National Dog Day was started in 2004 by a dog trainer named Colleen Paige, who is also an animal rescue advocate. This day really got started to encourage you to adopt your dog from a pet shelter instead of going to a pet store and getting your dog from there.

Often at a pet store, these dogs come from puppy mills and backyard breeders! I have personally gotten 2 of my pets from a pet store, and honestly, I never did my research in what conditions these animals were raised in or what source they came from.

Our canine friends aren’t just simply dogs. They truly are another member of the family, who offer comfort,

compassion, and love to their human family! So, why not have a special day to celebrate our love of dogs! All dog breeds, colors, sizes, male and female, and we can’t forget those cute puppies, have their unique personalities and traits. Some of these dogs also are in a special class and serve people who are in need of a service dog or an emotional support dog, which are slightly different in what their specific duties are.

So, when Aug. 26 comes around again next year, remember this date as National Dog Day and to celebrate your beloved pooch/pooches. Celebrate by sharing photos and stories of your favorite canine member of your family! Happy belated National Dog Day! Woof-Woof!

Muhs Fest raises money for Cancer Crusaders

Community Dive into lifelong learning with online classes Humanities North Dakota is thrilled to introduce the captivating lineup of courses for its Public University program for Fall 2023. Offering a range of thought-provoking topics, this season's free online courses invite individuals to explore diverse subjects, connect with engaging instructors, and foster a sense of intellectual curiosity.

The Public University Fall 2023 Classes will provide this array of enriching experiences:

Another successful Muhs Fest, hosted by Danny Muhs, was held in August at the Mt. Carmel Recreation Area. All profits from this fun event were donated to the Cavalier County Cancer Crusaders.

Daniel Hart (pictured) was the winner of the rib cook-off. Vicki Gleason and Becky Slade (sorry ladies, no picture) won the corn hole tournament. This year there was a sweet addition to the day as Parker Domres set up a lemonade and cookie stand with the help of some friends, and they donated their earnings to the Crusaders.

Friends of the Cavalier Public Library approaches one year anniversary

By Becky Ratchenski, Friends of the Cavalier Public Library secretary The Friends of the Cavalier Public Library (FOL) has been around for almost a year now, and it has been a busy year of activities and promoting our library. Our first meeting to organize was on Sept. 13, 2022. By-laws were written and approved, and officers were elected. Three goals were set and have been met. Some were even exceeded!

The goals for the past year were: #1) 4 social events for the FOL group members. #2) 4 promotional events for visibility, and #3) one fundraising event. This year’s annual meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 19th at the library. Everyone is welcome, and there will be cookies!

Yearly dues to be a member of FOL are $10.00 for individuals and $50.00 for businesses. Please consider becoming a member of this very worthwhile group. Dues can be sent to our treasurer, Deb Johnson, at 9317 County 12, Cavalier, or be dropped off at the library at 200 Bjornson Drive, Cavalier. Be sure to include your email so you can be “in the know” about upcoming events. If you have a business, you will be receiving a letter soon asking for you to consider joining. Supporting the library is a worthy cause for sure! Remember, A Strong

Library = A Strong Community.

Many of us have lost a loved one in the past year, and a great way to honor them is to give a memorial in their honor. Memorials also can be sent to Deb or dropped off at the library. A gift to the FOL is certainly a meaningful and special gift as it improves the lives of so many people, of all ages, in our area.

A new event will be beginning this fall at the library. On the second Thursday of the month, there will be a “Fun and Fiction” coffee time at 9:30 a.m. at the library. This is a very casual get together for folks who would like to share ideas for and about books they’ve read. It’s always so fun to talk about what you’ve read lately and to get ideas about what to read next.

P.S. You don’t have to drink coffee to come, tea or soda is fine! Our first “Fun and Fiction” gathering will be on Sept. 14. We hope to see you there!

Prairie Fare: Harvest nutrition this fall

Eating more vegetables and fruit may reduce our risk for heart disease and help us manage our blood pressure.

Why eat plenty of veggies as part of an overall healthy diet? Vegetables are naturally low in calories and they provide fiber, vitamins and minerals that help us stay healthy and reduce our risk for diseases.

Eating more vegetables and fruit may reduce our risk for heart disease and help us manage our blood pressure.

Eating plenty of vegetables and fruit) also can reduce our risk for certain kinds of cancer. The fiber in veggies can help promote digestive system health.

Think back to what you ate yesterday or the day before yesterday. How many one-cup servings of vegetables did you eat?

Any kind of vegetables (corn, peas, beans, carrots) count. You can count two cups of raw leafy salad greens as one cup. You can count one cup of cooked beans (such as black beans or kidney beans) as one cup of vegetables.

Pause a bit and add up your total.

Next, let’s see how your total compares to the recommendations. Women ages 19 to 30 should aim for 2 ½ to 3 cups, and women 31 and older should aim for 2 to 3 cups of vegetables daily.

Men ages 19 to 59 should aim for 3 to 4 cups, while men ages 60 and older should aim for 2 ½ to 3 ½ cups of vegetables daily.

Dakota Gardener: Bountiful harvest, plenty of love

If your garden is overflowing, there are many food pantries and soup kitchens throughout North Dakota that will accept donated vegetables.

By Kelsey Deckert, horticulture agent, NDSU Extension - Burleigh and Morton Counties of homegrown vegetables throughout the winter.

After harvesting your fill of vegetables, you may be tempted to pull out the plants and get a jumpstart on cleaning up the garden. But is this really the last option?

The answer is no.

You can continue spreading the love by donating to local food pantries.

We are in full swing of harvesting in our gardens.

Although our growing season got off to a slow start, most gardens in the Dakotas are producing an abundance of tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers and other produce now. This is a great opportunity to express our love with our family and friends by sharing our bountiful harvest.

It feels wonderful to share, but there is only so much produce that family and friends are willing to take off your hands. We all know the running joke of leaving zucchinis on doorsteps or in vehicles.

Nothing fills your heart and a personin-need’s plate more than donating the extra produce you have in your garden.

According to feedingamerica.org, 34 million people and 9 million children in the U.S. are food insecure. If you look at North Dakota alone, 42,290 people are facing hunger with 13,690

being children. That means 1 in 18 people and 1 in 13 children face hunger. Those are some alarming statistics.

There are many food pantries and soup kitchens throughout North Dakota that will accept donated vegetables. Even if you reside in a rural area, many churches will take food donations.

If you are looking to make a difference with food insecurity, you might consider growing a Hunger Free Garden next year. It can be as simple as adding an extra row in your garden or dedicating a whole plot to donation.

More information about the Hunger Free ND Garden Project is available at https://www.ndda.nd.gov/divisions/ business-marketing-information/local-foods/hunger-free-nd-garden-project.

For more information about gardening and local donation sites, contact your county NDSU Extension agent. Find the NDSU Extension office for your county at www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ extension/county-extension-offices.

What else can you do with your extra produce?

I start out by upping my game with recipes. Let me tell you there are plenty of zucchini recipes out there. Even so, there’s only so many zucchini casseroles, breads and cakes my family can tolerate.

Consider preserving your garden produce. Vegetables can be frozen, canned, dried or stored over winter. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the taste

From the Pastor's Desk: All God’s children got shoes

By Pastor Sue Mackey

Last week, I wrote about shoes. Today, I want to, again, talk about shoes.

Shoes were the very first thing taken away from Africans when captured by the slave traders - taken away because you can't run very far without shoes. Shoes have a lot to do with being free. Why, even in the story of the exodus - the greatest freedom story of all time, you read about shoes.

In Exodus 21:1-14, the Hebrews were about to be set free from the bondage of Egypt. The angel of Death was in the land. The firstborn of every human and every animal would be struck down, but the Hebrews

would be passed over - protected by the sacrifice of a lamb whose blood was painted on the doorposts of their homes. Inside, they ate the Passover meal and, as they ate, they were fully dressed, ready to leave for the Promised Land.

God told the Hebrew people to eat the Passover meal with their coats on, with their shirts tucked in, with their walking stick in their hand, and with their shoes on! You see, freedom has a lot to do with shoes!

Last week, Moses was told to take off his shoes; today, God tells Moses and

the Hebrew people to put their shoes on.

Shoes are on either side of the greatest freedom story ever told. Perhaps the simple message is this: if you want to find true freedom and discover the freeing power of God, you've got to learn when to take your shoes OFF and when to put your shoes ON! Oftentimes, we want to reduce Christianity to a rigid set of rules and principles that universally apply to all situations in all times and places. We want to know whether we should put our shoes on or take them off. Moses had to discern when to do one and when to do the other, or else he and the Hebrews would never break free of Egypt.

Unless you can discern when to do one and when to do the other, you can't build truly healthy relationships with people – or with God. Sometimes we put our shoes on for God. Sometimes, we take them off. Discerning when to do one and when to do the other is the secret to finding freedom and power in Christ.

You see, faith is not about reducing the complexities of life to a series of

simple rules-of-thumb and commandments. Rather, faith is about recognizing how complex life is, and learning instead to listen to God as he tries to lead us into his future.

As the spiritual says, "ALL God's children got shoes!" But we only discover freedom in Christ when we learn when to put them on, and when to take them off. Better than rules is a living friendship with the God of the exodus.

Obituaries

The Borderland Press on the farm and all the adventures of growing up in the country and in a small town. Uncle Herman Wendt always had a watchful eye on Rob and was his protector from childhood shenanigans pulled by his brother and neighboring friends.

Dennis Luhmann

A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 9, 2023, with a visitation from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, September 8, 2023, all at Emmanuel Evangelical Church in Langdon, N.D., for Dennis Luhmann, 79, of Langdon, who passed away, surrounded by family, on Friday, September 1, 2023, at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, N.D., after a tragic accident. Burial will be at Lebanon Cemetery in Langdon.

After working various jobs around Walhalla and Williston, he packed up his Duster with whatever would fit and moved to Albany, Oregon. While there, he worked as a welder installing sprinkler systems in logging mills. He also married the love of his life, Debbie Elliott, who along with her daughter, Aimee, created his family that he was very proud of. Rob eventually moved back to Williston, where he continued his working career as a welder for a local oil company.

Rob enjoyed playing cards, playing the pull tabs, and visiting with his friends at his neighborhood watering hole.

When at home, Rob thoroughly enjoyed watching ME TV and any western show or movie that he could find on TV.

Dennis was born June 9, 1944, in Langdon, N.D., to Walter and Alverda (Schrader) Luhmann. He grew up on a farm near Loma, graduated from Alsen High School, and went on to Wahpeton State School of Science, where he graduated with a degree in Architectural Drafting and Engineering. He married Barbara Johnston on July 21, 1967, in Langdon. They spent time in Spokane, Wash., where he gained additional building experience and then returned to Langdon to raise their family, where he lived for the remainder of his life. Throughout his life, Dennis was a member of Emmanuel Evangelical Church, New Hope Fellowship, and First Baptist Church.

Rob was preceded in death by his parents; his grandparents, Frank and Thilda Wendt and Earl and Agnes Brown; and his beloved dog, Jake.

Rob is survived by his sister, Florenda, and her husband, Harry Holen; his brother, Richard, and his wife, Bobbi Wendt; his nephews; Christopher Olson (Desiree Kintyhtt), Darin Wendt (Teasha Campagnola), Luke (Nikki) Holen, and Corey Holen; and one niece, Stephanie (Jeremy) Bakken; as well as numerous great nieces and nephews.

There was no stranger to Dennis, and he often said “the more the merrier.”

When he wasn’t welcoming people into his home, he was an adventurer who loved to travel, see new places, and make new friends. He loved to be outside - either building, farming, or fixing at the lumberyard.

A funeral service was held September 5, 2023, in Edmore, N.D., for Bruce Lyn Simon, 74, who passed away in Grand Forks, N.D., on August 31, 2023.

Susie D. Dearinger

Mass of Christian Burial was held September 2, 2023, in Walhalla for Susie D. Dearinger, 85, of Walhalla, who passed away August 29, 2023, at the Pembilier Nursing Center in Walhalla.

Bruce was born February 22, 1949, to the late Kenneth and Doris (Woldmoe) Simon of Hampden, N.D. He was raised and educated in the Hampden area, graduating from Hampden High School with the class of 1967. Bruce attended Lake Region State College for 2 years and then a short time at UND, pursuing a degree in accounting.F arming was his true passion, so he came home to farm with his dad

Friday, September 8, 2023 - Page - A9

and eventually set up his own operation. Bruce married Linda Harpestad on October 26, 1973. Together they raised their 2 children, Stephanie and Steven.

Bruce was an avid fisherman and often took the kids along. Ice fishing was always a challenge, because one of them invariably stepped in the hole. He learned to take extra clothing along.

After retiring from farming, he and Linda enjoyed following their grandkids in their various sports, be it football, volleyball, basketball, softball, baseball, or track. They tried to get to as many games as they could. Bruce couldn’t wait to brag to anyone who would listen about how great they had done. When he wasn’t at a game, Bruce enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles, watching Westerns, and eating Hershey Nuggets. He loved those nuggets!

A father always wants his children

to be more successful in life than he was. He wasn’t disappointed. He couldn’t have been prouder of both Stephanie and Steve.

Bruce is survived by his wife of 49 years, Linda; daughter Stephanie (Todd) Hartleben of Bismarck, N.D.; son Steve (Kristin) Simon of Hampden; five grandchildren: Chloe, Kenna and Brogan Lambrecht and Karsen and Parker Simon; sisters: Karen (Palmer) Brekhus of Tolley, N.D., Kathy Cromwell of Casper, Wyo., and Linda (Larry) Geisen of Langdon, N.D.; brothers-inlaw and sisters-in-law Robert Harpestad Jr.(Sandy Miller) of Edmore, N.D., Sheila (Mark) Robertsdahl of Devils Lake, N.D., Rick (Naomi) Harpestad of Mayville, N.D., Tamara (Rick) Clemetson of Park River, N.D., along with several nieces and nephews. Bruce’s parents and in-laws, Robert and Dorothy Harpestad, preceded him in death.

Page A10 - Friday, September 8, 2023 Cont’d. From Page A2 City of Langdon holds regular meeting ral water can vary across the state.

It’s a shock to the system, but it’s not out of line compared to around the state,” said Andrew Aakre, Moore Engineering.

“Bidders have to have a contractor’s license and must be in good standing with the city of Langdon,” Aakre added and then asked for a motion of approval

“The people I have talked to don’t complain about the water. The increase is part of inflation. No one complained like I thought they would,” Commissioner Schlittenhard said.

Schlittenhard made the motion to move forward with the funding application, Rademacher seconded the motion, and it passed.

Street update Aakre from Moore Engineering gave an update on the city wide street project. Crews have been in Langdon completing pavement cores and ground penetrating radar. Aakre hopes to have the data back by mid-September. Survey crews and engineers were in town starting Aug. 29 collecting more field data to create the base map for the project.

“We’re doing that while the weather is still nice,” Aakre told commissioners.

“There’s a lot of preliminary work that is on-going. Bear with us as we plug away. We have a lot of work to do.”

Moore Engineering has prepared the agreement for design services for the street project, which includes bidding and funding application assistance for the Bank of North Dakota.

The costs presented have been included in the total project estimate, and the amount for the agreement totaled $978,747. Broken down those numbers look like this: Studies and Report (completed) $93,747 Funding Assistance $10,000 Design Services $850,000 Bidding Services $25,000 Aakre thinks the project will go to bid in February and have a contractor lined up by March 2024.

“For me in my circle, that’s all I get asked is ‘who’s going to do the work?’ and you just answered that question - nothing until March. Nothing is set in stone,” said Jerry Nowatzki, mayor.

Langdon Area Chamber of Commerce Jessica Tull, executive director of the Langdon Area Chamber of Commerce, was at the meeting to request $3,600 for advertising. Tull said it’s the same amount that the Chamber requested last year. She said the money will be used for advertising local businesses and chamber members. The commission approved her request.

Update on 423 9th Avenue, Langdon Shahrad Lavaeddin, who co-owns a property at 423 9th Avenue in Langdon with Ali Tavakoli, asked the city attorney Quentin Wenzel if commissioners would be interested in having the city purchase the property, as is, for $5,000.

The city held a hearing on the property on Aug. 14 where commissioners decided Lavaeddin had 30 days to make arrangements to have the house demolished or 30 days to appeal the city commission’s decision in district court. At the end of the 30 days, if nothing is done, the city can make arrangements to demolish the home, and the cost will be levied against the taxes on the property.

Wenzel said Lavaeddin reported being in contact with Mikkelsen Construction about demolition of the house on the property.

Commissioners said they did not want the city to purchase the property from Lavaeddin.

Waffles can be breakfast, lunch or dinner Few people can resist the appeal of waffles. They’re tasty in the morning for breakfast, and equally at home in the afternoons or evening with chicken or ice cream accompanying them.

Indeed, few foods can be enjoyed any time of day as easily as waffles.

Waffles can be made from gluten-free and alternative ingredients, making them available to people who have different types of food limitations.

Such is the case with this recipe for “Belgian Waffles” courtesy of “PlantBased Gourmet” (Apollo Publishers)

by Chef Suzi Gerber. This recipe features ingredients that fit into a plantbased lifestyle.

Belgian Waffles Makes 3 or 4 waffles 2 1⁄4 cups gluten-free flour (conventional all-purpose flour may be substituted; reduced by 2 tablespoons) 1 teaspoon sugar 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder 1⁄4 tablespoon salt 1 cup room temperature oat milk or flax milk 1 1⁄2 tablespoons melted butter or non-dairy butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1⁄2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder,

and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the oat milk, butter, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar, then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, whisking to combine.

2. Grease a waffle iron and preheat.

Pour about 1⁄2 cup of the batter into the waffle iron and let stand for 30 to 45 seconds, then close and cook approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Gently

open to check, adding an additional 1 to 2 minutes if needed. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Tip: Add freeze-dried berries, whole or powdered, or even blue spirulina or pitaya powder to get colorful waffles with fruity flavors and even a bit of crunch. Alternating colors of waffles is fun, nutritious, and festive.

It was a special night of volleyball when the North Border Eagles hosted the Nelson County Chargers in a Region 2 match on Aug. 31. The Eagles swept the Chargers in three close sets: 25-19, 25-21, and 25-20. North Border seniors Jenna Fraser and Keira Moore hit career milestones in the match. Fraser went over 1,000 assists as North Border setter, and Moore reached 1,000 digs. Both girls have been a huge part of the Eagles volleyball program since their junior high years.

On each player reaching the century mark, North Border head coach Natalie Hartje said, "I am very proud of these two girls, as they have worked very hard through their volleyball careers to achieve these great accomplishments. Congrats to both of them!"

On the night against the Chargers, Fraser had 26 assists and Moore 13 kills to lead the Eagles. Caylee Berg led the squad with 15 digs, while Fraser had three service aces, and Payton Reis got up for two stuff blocks.

After traveling to Midway-Minto on Feb. 5, North Border hosted Grafton in Pembina on Feb. 7, and in the week ahead, they play at Hillsboro-Central Valley at CV on Feb. 12 then head

St. John Woodchucks. North Border is coming off a high-scoring win at Midway-Minto 66-32. We apologize again this week for not having a recap of that game. Information for Eagles games has been very close to top secret. We will continue to work hard to have that information in next week’s issue.

one in the 12 years since he’s been head coach. It seems that Mr. Curt Kram may have had a performance early in his musical teaching career in Langdon, but it’s kind of a mystery.

Hats off to director Lane Lindseth and the band members for being a great addition to Cardinal game nights for their last two games at home.

Langdon pep band to entertain at a football game for the first time in forever, and they are going to do it twice!

After Langdon-Edmore-Munich plays at Rugby, they will come home to play Cavalier in what will be the first meeting between the schools since 2010.

In honor of the occasion, the Langdon Pep Band will be in attendance to rev up the crowd before the game. They are also planning to be there for the Cardinals last home game of the season versus Grafton on Sept. 29. We hope Langdon-Edmore-Munich fans will come out and see the band in person, as this is the first time there will be a football pep band since...well, no one really knows for sure.

Eagles have two players reach career milestones to remember A shout-out goes to North Border seniors Jenna Fraser and Keira Moore this week. Both went over the 1,000 career mark in assists and digs at a home match in Walhalla on Aug. 31.

Fraser reached the milestone in assists and Moore in digs. How cool is it to see them do that in the same match? Congrats to both players, and later in the week ahead, the Eagles will have their annual rivalry match at Langdon-Edmore-Munich on Sept. 14, which should be a lot of fun as well.

in our area, the annual Glow Ball Tourney at the Walhalla Country Club on Sept. 16. They will have a social and supper at 6:30 p.m. followed by golf at 8:30. The format is a two-person scramble with the cost of $60 a team.

The entry fee gets you four LED glow balls and six glow sticks to help you see where you are going, always a plus. Call 701-549-3257 for more information or to register and rent a cart for the event.

Jake’s Take on Sports North here in The Borderland Press.

While we are on this topic, we say thanks this week to the Edmore and North Border school boards on being the official newspaper for both, joining Langdon and Munich, which means you will also see school board minutes and all kinds of informative articles here. There are many pressing things to talk about this week, so let’s get to them.

By Jake Kulland, Sports Editor School picks up, so do fall sports Now that we have gone past the Labor Day holiday (already?), we have now reached one of the longest consecutive days of the school year.

School will be bustling now right up until what’s traditionally called Teachers Convention weekend in the latter part of October. With that, fall sports get rocking a little more consistently as well. We will be busy covering all things Langdon-Edmore-Munich, North Border and Pembina County

Cardinals football hits the road for the first time this year, same for an Eagles home game On the high school football front, Langdon-Edmore-Munich is unbeaten, and North Border is 2-1 on the season. The Friday Night Lights will shine on Sept. 8 when the Cardinals have their first road game of the season after three straight games at home. They travel to Rugby to take on the Panthers after coming off a huge 34-6 win over Bottineau.

The Eagles have been road warriors the first three weeks of the year, and they will have their first home game in Walhalla on Sept. 8 versus the

Glow Ball Tournament at the Walhalla Country Club a week away We are getting the word out this week about one of the last golf tournaments

Here’s our 2023 fearless Vikings forecast Our Minnesota Vikings begin their 2023 campaign this week at home against Tampa Bay on Sept. 10. This is the time of year when I reveal my prediction and forecast for the Vikes this season. Well, not much has changed - you can go back to previous years in this paper and the one before it. Once again, I predict the Vikes to go 17-0 and win the Super Bowl. Like you all expected to see anything else?

Skol!

“See ya!” next week!

Lady Cards roll to regular season win at Cavalier 3-0

By Jake Kulland

After what they thought was a disappointing eighth place finish at the Northern Cass Tournament, the Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team went to Cavalier on Aug. 31 looking to get better in what was their first regular season match of 2023. They did play well, winning by a sweep with set scores of 25-13, 2516, and 25-16. The Lady Cards hosted Thompson in Langdon on Sept. 7 then will head to Rolla to play North Prairie on Sept. 12 and will host North Border on Sept. 14.

In their match with the Tornadoes, the Cardinals fell behind early before going on a 6-1 run to win the first set.

In a strange statistic, Cavalier scored all 13 of their points in the first frame on Langdon-Edmore-Munich unforced errors. Cora Badding had four of five aces in the first set.

The Cardinals got out to a lead in each of the next two sets to win by the sweep. Badding had 17 kills to lead the team followed by five each from Jalynn Swanson and Jaya Henderson. Swanson and Peyton Hall each had three service aces for the Cards, and Swanson also led the way with 25 assists. Tia Jensen had four kills for Cavalier LANGDON-EDMORE-MUNICH 25-2525, CAVALIER 13-16-16

Cards score 34 straight points to win Homecoming game over Bottineau 34-6 Romfo is Homecoming King and Player of the Game in the same week

By Jake Kulland

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals played before a huge crowd at their Homecoming game versus Bottineau on Sept. 1 in a huge Region 2A game. The Cards got down early, overcame eight penalties, and won 34-6. With the win, the Cardinals stay unbeaten on the season at 3-0 overall and 2-0 in Region 2A. Langdon-Edmore-Munich hits the road for the first time this season at Rugby on Sept. 8 then will host the Cavalier Tornadoes for the first time in 13 years on Sept.

15. The Cardinals Pep Band will be in attendance for that game.

Bottineau came out and hit the Cardinals in the mouth late in the first quarter. Braves wide receiver Khaliel Adulrukman used a double move to get wide open down the sideline for a 53-yard touchdown catch from Carson Haerer. Langdon-Edmore-Munich answered right back with a 31 TD pass of their own from Rayce Worley to Cody Amble to take an 8-6 lead.

Mason Romfo started a big night showing how dangerous he can be coming out of the backfield, scoring one of two touchdowns receiving - the first from 51 yards out in the second quarter and the second on a long catch and run in the third with both TDs thrown by Worley. Romfo also

threw a two-point conversion pass to Amble.

Senior Parker Rime played his first game of the season on both lines and made his presence known with a nice night on both sides of the ball.

With him coming back, it allowed the Cardinals to move Cole Welsh to a tight end/fullback role, and he came through with an eight-yard touchdown run.

Worley had a fantastic night throwing the football, playing with a bone bruise on his left knee. He finished the night going 15 for 19 passing and 288 yards, which included another long bomb to Nick Kingzett in the fourth quarter. Romfo had five catches for 158 yards, and he also led the team with 58 yards rushing to get player of the game honors.

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Frances Densmore In the summer of 1912, two peculiar figures trekked across the Ft. Berthold Reservation wearing high-collared dresses and heavy petticoats in the hot summer sun. Ms. Frances Densmore and her sister Margaret stuck out like a sore thumb as they hauled ungainly machinery such as a typewriter, a phonograph, and camera equipment across the natives’ land.

It was unusual for any woman of the time to travel to a reservation unescorted. But Frances Densmore was not a typical woman. She was an amateur anthropologist who traveled throughout the United States to gather wax cylinder recordings of Native American songs for the Smithsonian’s Bureau of American Ethnology.

Ms. Densmore’s interest in Native American music was sparked as a young child when she and her family lived across the Mississippi River from a tribe of Sioux in Red Wing, Minnesota. ”We could hear the throb of the drum when they were dancing,” wrote Densmore, “and sometimes we could see the flickering light of their campfire.”

Densmore went on to receive a formal education in piano and organ music at a conservatory, yet her fascination

with Native American music never faded. At a time when Indians were considered strange and their music uncivilized, Densmore recognized the importance of music in understanding native culture. “Indian song, in my observation, is far from being a spontaneous outburst of melody,” wrote Densmore. ”On the contrary there is around it the dignity and control which pervade the whole life of the race.”

On this date in 1912, Ms. Densmore was recording and preserving tribal songs of the Indians at the Ft. Berthold reservation. While at the reservation, she transcribed the phonograms into sheet music, and with the help of a native woman named Scattered Corn, she was also able to provide the English translations of the songs.

During her visits to North Dakota, Densmore recorded songs and interviews with such tribes as the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Teton Sioux. Some of Densmore’s best work came out of her research on the Dakota Sioux. For example, she managed to convince Sioux tribal members at the Standing Rock Reservation to talk on the phonograph about their sacred Sun Dance — a ceremony that had been outlawed by the U.S. government in 1882.

Densmore’s work is an early example of oral history recordings, an increasingly important part of historical preservation. Much of her North Dakota collection was donated to the State Historical Society, where it remains today.
