The Rendezvous Region Tourism Council (RRTC) is building a Talking Trail Tour to promote the many historic sites, scenic byways, museums, heritage areas, nature trails, art, and state parks in our own area. Talking Trail is an app for your phone or tablet that brings you stories of those locations while you are visiting them. “This is a great opportunity for our local stories to be told,” said Kelli Truver, board member of the RRTC. “We can create stronger connections with tourists and visitors as they are able to understand more about our history and culture. Talking Trail will help the community to share its voice.” Truver is the chair of the subcommittee that will be doing the legwork of putting the Rendezvous Region Tour together to be published in the Talking Trail app. “Currently, the subcommittee has chosen 80 locations to place a talking point,” said Truver. “However, we are interested in hearing any ideas people may have about additional talking points. We are making connections within each community to determine which story should be told at the locations, identifying people to voice each talking point, and finding financial sponsors to help bring each talking point to the community.”

October is Women’s Small Business Month By Linda Timian Republican Writer
This is the first in a series of articles covering National Women’s Small Business Month, highlighting the benefits and industry women bring to communities when they own a small business. Tatiana Davis, Langdon Floral Tatiana Davis has owned and operated Langdon Floral since October of 2014. Davis designs and creates fresh and silk flower arrangements. She likes working with customers to bring their ideas to life. “We do a lot of custom work, wreaths especially,” said Davis, “Bring us a floral (fresh or silk) vision, and we can try to pull it together.” Langdon Floral is located at 707 3rd Street. The store opens every day at 9:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, then closes at 2:00 p.m. to run deliveries. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday she reopens from 3-5 p.m. The phone number is 701-256-2200. If you have been to Langdon Floral, you will see that it is more than just flowers, with gifts and home decor items ranging from plush and games to farmhouse decor and seasonal decor. She also has houseplants and will even repot your houseplants for you if you like. Davis just reopened her ce-
ramics studio and hopes to expand that feature in the future. She started offering ceramics a year or two before the pandemic and had to shut down during COVID. Customers can come to the store and decorate pots and figures, which she will fire to a beautiful, glossy finish. “We have reopened for dropin painting but with only one table for up to 4 guests at a time,” said Davis. “We ask you to give yourself at least 1.5-2 hours before closing time so you have time to completely finish your project.” Davis will hold off on large group classes and parties for the
time being and focus on things like Christmas take-home kits. The Langdon Floral Facebook page will have details on those as the holidays get closer. Davis said that one of the biggest challenges facing all small businesses right now is keeping stock on-hand and on display. “Every week it seems there is a new shortage, and our hands are tied,” said Davis. “If it’s not available, there’s not really anything we can do. We are check-

ing multiple sources, we are paying extra for expedited shipping (and for the crazy inflation going on right now) to get you the items you want and need on our shelf, and we are trying to stay on top of trends (which are changing faster than EVER).” Despite the challenges, Davis loves her flowers and finds the work very gratifying. “I love the moment someone gets a bouquet and the look of joy it brings people,” said Davis. “To know my hands, with the help of my creativity and heart, were able to bring joy to someone is the most satisfying feeling.” Alyssa Plummer, True Beauty Alyssa Plummer has been a hair stylist for 13 years and bought True Beauty Hair Salon 9 years ago. Her salon provides haircuts for men, women, and children; women’s hair colors; and facial waxing. Her clients are one of her favorite things about being in the hairstyling business, and she enjoys working with each individual. “Each service is unique for every person,” said Plummer. “Not everyone can wear the same hairstyle or hair color - that’s why I love what I do!” Plummer said that she has always been interested in a cacont. on page 3

location that has the QR code to download and install the app. Once you have downloaded the app, you can scroll through the tours already published and download a tour any time prior to arrival or once you are at the talking point. It is simple, user friendly, and pretty straightforward. Users can be notified when they are within a specified distance of a Talking Point, and the Apple connected map gives users step-by-step directions to the Talking Point location. Once you’ve completed a trail, you can delete the downloaded content for that trail by going to the general information section of that trail and select remove media. If you do not want to use the app, you can still listen to the talking point on your phone. There is a phone number on the sign at each location that you can call to listen to the story. “Per Talking Trail, there will be an option coming soon (by the time we launch) that will allow the talking points to be streamed rather than downloaded,” said Truver. She said they hope to have the Rendezvous Region Tour available on the app by early summer of 2022. If you want to be a sponsor or have an idea for a talking point location, contact Truver or one of the other subcommittee members: Emily Laaveg – Icelandic State Park; Rachel cont. on page 2

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
This is the wrong ‘Angle’ Over the years there have been plenty of controversies regarding the Northwest Angle in northern Minnesota. At least twice in Minnesota’s history, the residents of the angle threatened to secede from the United States and become part of Canada. Northwest Angle is the only place in the continental United States that is north of the 49th Parallel. And if you have business in Roseau or Warroad, you have to take Manitoba roads to get back to the U.S. border. That is, of course, unless you take a boat across Lake of the Woods. There have been fishing disputes with Canada on the waters of Lake of the Woods, and on the good side, there was a time not so long ago that the border was open to Northwest Angle residents. They could cross back and forth without ever going through a bonafide port of entry. All they had to do was write their names down and slip a piece of paper into a drop box. How about that, crossing the Canadian border on the honor system? Now there’s another issue that hasn’t surfaced before. Apparently, there have been some residents of Northwest Angle who have been denied access to those rural Manitoba roads because of COVID-19 restrictions put on by the Government of Canada. Canadian protocol says you have to be tested negative within three days of crossing the border, even if you are an American citizen trying to get home to the Northwest Angle. This caught the attention of Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., who has demanded the Canadian government allow those Minnesota residents to get back to their homes on the angle. That went over like a lead balloon, so Smith has written a letter to the U.S. State Department asking officials there to intervene with their Canadian counterparts to rectify this situation, at the very least, for those who live at Northwest Angle and do their business in Roseau, Warroad, and sometimes Grafton and Grand Forks. If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would drop all COVID restrictions, maybe those local residents would
be able to slip their name back into that drop box. Until that happens, however, this is going to be an issue. It’s the same principal as traveling through Canada to get to Alaska. But in that case, you're driving 1,200 miles through Canada and not 40 like you are to get to the Northwest Angle. Residents of the angle have often complained about many of these problems over the years, and that’s what led to the suggestion of secession from the United States. It was often implied that St. Paul didn’t care about the 60 residents living out there in the sticks, so nothing would ever get done. But Smith, who has been around Minneapolis most of her adult life, stepped in to help the people of this American enclave just outside the United States. It’s hard telling what will get done or if anything will get done. Maybe Northwest Angle residents should have a sticker in their car window, much like the Sun Pass in Florida that lets you blow through toll booths while traveling. That would at least tell Canada Customs agents or U.S. Border Patrol agents who these people are. Furthermore, once you cross the border, it’s one of the most remote locations in Manitoba other than the far north. There are very few people in that part of Manitoba. It’s a long way from Winnipeg, so exposing a lot of people, even if you were positive, would be very unlikely. You actually “angle” back to the angle on three provincial highways that, all told, are about 30 miles of driving on the Canadian side. Then, it’s another 10 miles from when you cross back into the United States at Angle Inlet Township to several rural developments at Northwest Angle. Another part of this equation is from the residents of that remote rural area of Manitoba where few people live. Never has anyone living there complained about their American friends traveling back and forth, at least not publicly. They understand the logistical situation, the Canadian government apparently does not. Another thing it’s done is destroy tourism. If you can imagine, tourism is a big deal on Lake of the Woods, and with the border as restrictive as it has been, you’d have to fly in or take a boat. If not, there are 60 Americans who remain at the mercy of the Canadian government.

The right to privacy and the road to Roe v. Wade The Supreme Court’s watershed decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) which, as we have seen, introduced a general constitutional right to privacy, sufficient to protect a married couples’ right to use contraceptive devices, has exerted tremendous influence over the past half-century. Roe v. Wade (1973), very likely the most controversial ruling ever rendered by the High Tribunal, rests on Griswold and the right to privacy. In Roe, the court’s opinion, authored by Justice Harry Blackmun, held that the right to privacy, whether grounded in the concept of “personal liberty,” protected by the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, or in the Ninth Amendment, “is broad enough to protect a woman’s decision whether to terminate her pregnancy.” In a “Memorandum to the Conference,” — the meeting of the Supreme Court Justices to discuss cases — Chief Justice Warren Burger, nominated by President Richard Nixon, justly wrote of Roe and the issue of reproductive rights, “This is as sensitive and difficult an issue as any in this court in my time.” At issue in Roe was a Texas statute that prohibited abortions except for the purpose of saving the mother’s life. The court’s decision that reproductive rights are “fundamental” does not imply that the right is absolute or unqualified. Indeed, no constitutional right, enumerated or unenumerated, is absolute. Rather, every right is limited, as is every governmental power. In Roe, and in virtually every subsequent case involving abortion rights, the primary concern has been to strike a balance between a woman’s privacy interest and the state’s interest in the regula-

tion of “potential human life.” In Roe, the court determined that the state’s interest in future life becomes “compelling” at the point of fetal viability. After the first trimester, in which a woman’s privacy right, manifested as “personal autonomy” over her reproductive organs, is primary, and the state’s interest secondary, the state may begin to regulate or even proscribe abortions, except in cases where abortion is necessary to save the life or protect the health of the mother. As the pregnancy lengthens, the court said, the state is free to place increasing restrictions on abortion rights. The laws governing reproductive rights continue to spike controversy across America. The status of Roe v. Wade and a woman’s fundamental right to an abortion is in doubt. In fact, when the court begins its new term on October 4, it will soon hear a case that may compel the justices to reassess whether there is a constitutional right to abortion, a challenge that will remind the citizenry of Chief Justice Burger’s description of abortion rights cases as presenting the most “sensitive” and “difficult” issues that the court confronts. The constitutional right to privacy, unmentioned in the Constitution, but embraced by virtually every American, plumbs the very depths of our conception of freedom and liberty, no matter how contentious or difficult its application is. What focuses our attention, of course, is whether there is, in a free nation, a “right to be let alone.” That phrase, which reduces a right to privacy to its most fundamental basis, was developed by Justice Louis Brandeis. On the right of personal autonomy, Brandeis wrote in 1928, in Olmstead v. United States, in words quoted many times over: “The makers of our Constitution conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone — the most comprehensive right and the most valued by civilized men. To protect that right, every unjustifiable intrusion by the Government upon the privacy of the individual, whatever the means employed, must be deemed a violation of the
Constitution.” Precisely how we are to define “unjustifiable” intrusions will be discussed and debated as long as America remains a constitutional democracy, but the lack of certainty does not preclude some guidelines. Consider, for your own deliberation, a list created in a December 30, 1971, letter from Justice William Brennan to Justice William O. Douglas. Justice Brennan suggested that the right to privacy is a species of “liberty” that protects three groups of fundamental freedoms encompassed by “liberty.” In this list, he considered “freedom of choice” pertaining to “basic decisions of life,” including marriage, divorce, procreation, contraception and raising children. To these rights, we may add others, suggested by Justice Douglas: “the freedom to walk, stroll or loaf.” None of these rights is mentioned in the Constitution, of course, but neither is there, as Justice Arthur Goldberg declared, a “provision in the Constitution that specifically prevents the Government from curtailing the marital right to bear children and raise a family.” Goldberg added that Americans “would find it shocking to believe that the personal liberty guaranteed by the Constitution does not include protection against such totalitarian limitation of family size, which is at complete variance with our constitutional concepts.” However we identify a right to privacy, there must exist in our world a right to live, as the Walt Whitman’s “simple separate person” — freedom from arbitrary intervention and intrusion.

Report From the Legislature
Rep. David Monson R – District 10 The Budget Section of the ND Legislature met on September 30, 2021, to give us a number of department reports, vote on some spending requests from a couple agencies, and prepare the legislators for the upcoming special session in November. The financial status of the general fund is well off compared to what we had projected the numbers would look like when we finished the 2021 legislative session the end of April. First off, a number of agencies didn’t spend all the money we appropriated to them in the 2019 legislative session. This was in large part due to all the Federal money

the state received from Covid-19 money in 2020 and early 2021. The agencies were able to use that money instead of the state money we had allocated to them. In total, they turned back to the state’s general fund $337,679,306 at the end of the 2019-2021 fiscal biennium on June 30, 2021. This is the largest turnback of funds in the state’s history and $68M over the average turnback from recent years. Revenue for the 2019-2021 biennium was also higher than projected due to a number of things, but mainly higher oil production and higher oil prices toward the end of the biennium. Tax collections were strong, too, as the economy was roaring in 2019 and the first part of 2020. Then the stimulus checks came out, and people had more money to spend. That all turned into larger sales and income tax revenues for the state. In short, the ending fund balance on June 30, 2021, was nearly $1.2M. Top that off with new ending fund projections for June 30, 2023, of $514M (($451M over what we projected when we left the 2021 session the end of April), and all of a sudden people think we are in great financial shape in ND. Keep in mind these numbers are as of August 31, only 2 months into the 2021-2023 biennium, so lots can go wrong between now and June 30, 2023. But high oil and high crop prices are boosting our income despite a very poor crop in much of the state this year. Overall, we received some very good financial news on September 30. Legislators and the governor are already thinking of ways to spend some of that money during our special session. The governor even held a press conference on September 30 to tell the legislators how he wants us to spend the money in the upcoming special session. Keep in mind, the purpose of the special session is to approve the new district lines, not go on a spending spree to use up the $1.2B in the bank plus the $451M projected money. The House and Senate Appropriations committees are going to be meeting 2 days per week throughout October to try to sift through the various spending
ideas. We know there will be lots of ideas and bills to spend money, but I hope we can hold the line on the spending. There are enough ideas floating around to spend it all twice over already, so we have a big job ahead of us. Here are some other figures we received on September 30: Budget Stabilization Fund (could be called our rainy-day fund or emergency fund) is at nearly $750M and capped at 15% of the appropriated general fund spending level; Legacy Fund is over $8.3B; Foundation Aid Stabilization Fund is at $389M; Tax Relief Fund is at $188M;Strategic Investment and Improvement Fund (SIIFsometimes referred to as General Fund II) is at $822M with $255M committed to be used by the end of the 2021-2023 biennium. The oil update showed the average price per barrel as of August 31 was $65.47/ barrel while we had projected $50/ barrel. Average production was at 1,133,498 barrels per day while the projection was for 1.1M per day. Oil revenue was at $198M while projection was for $160M. So, you can see every report be received painted a very rosy picture so far for us. Just a few last pieces of news before I end. The Outdoor Heritage Fund had revenue of just over $15M in the past biennium while they awarded $18.5M out in grants. They were really warned by the legislature this past session and in the 2017-2019 biennium to start sending out grants. This was because in 2015-2017 they had revenue of nearly $20M and gave out only $7.5M. I would like to tell people to apply for these grants if you have a good outdoor project for your community or organization. It seems like they may have gotten the message and are starting to finally use the funds for the intended purposes instead of just sitting on them. If you want to get information to me or ask me questions, my email is: dmonson@nd.gov. I have to admit I have not been great at reading my emails in a timely fashion throughout harvest, but that is winding down for me, so I hope I can get caught up and respond faster.

Cavalier County Republican Dakota Gardener: Storing garden produce Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension agent, Grand Forks County Gardeners across the state have put many hours into their gardens this growing season and hopefully there is extra produce to store over winter. It is important to store garden produce correctly so your efforts are not wasted. Different fruits and vegetables require different storage conditions. Three storage factors to consider are temperature, humidity and air flow. According to the University of Minnesota Extension, common storage conditions are cool and dry (50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% relative humidity), cold and dry (32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 65% relative humidity) and cold and moist (32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 95% relative humidity). Basements are usually cool and dry storage; think utility or storage rooms. Refrigerators are cold and dry storage. Cold temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit can be hard to find in our homes, but root cellars or unheated spaces like garages may meet the need short-term. Do not that forget your fruits and vegetables need to breathe too! They need oxygen and air movement to maintain quality and prevent mold or bacteria development. Storing them in open containers with space around the vegetables will help with airflow. Here are a few garden favorites
By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent Breast Cancer Awareness Month We all know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or been affected by it ourselves. According to BREASTCANCER. ORG, “1 in 8 women, and 1 in 833 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime.” (breastcancer.org) The fear, the unknown future, and the stress of being diagnosed wears on a person and their loved ones. It affects everyone in the family and leaves a lasting effect on those who love the one diagnosed. The support of family and friends helps those who are diagnosed, but they can also help remind their loved ones to get screened. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is a great time to show those you love how much you care for them by getting screened for breast cancer or encouraging those you love to get screened. The American Cancer Society and National Comprehensive Cancer Network have found that 1/3 of the adults in the United Stated did not get their recommended cancer screenings during the pandemic. If you are one of the people that put off getting a mammogram, now is the time to call your healthcare provider and make an appointment. Early detection of breast cancer is helpful in success of treatments. Regular mammograms during the highest risk age as well as self-breast exams monthly and yearly breast exams by a healthcare provider help early

and their storage requirements: • Onions and garlic should be stored in cool and dry conditions. Keep them away from moisture. • Potatoes should be stored in cool and dry conditions with good air movement. Keep them away from light and do not put them in the fridge. Cold temperatures will convert the starch in the potato into sugar, affecting the flavor. • Winter squash has the same storage requirements as potatoes and should not be put in the fridge for the same reason listed above. • Apples, beets, rutabagas and carrots should be stored in cold and moist conditions. Perforated plastics bags can be used to increase the humidity in a fridge. The green tops of beets, rutabagas and carrots should be removed before storage. Leave about a one-half inch of the tops so you do not cut into the vegetable. • Periodically check for storage issues if you are not using your produce regularly. I have some onions, garlic and potatoes to store for eating over the winter. Unfortunately, my buttercup squash was not as successful. The five squash I harvested are going to get eaten before they make it into storage! Happy gardening! For more information about gardening, contact your local NDSU Extension agent.

Fertilizer prices for 2022 crop will be near or above historic highs Due to increasing natural gas prices, nitrogen fertilizer prices are relatively high compared to recent years and are expected to remain high and possibly increase through next spring, says Dave Franzen, NDSU Extension soil science specialist. “China has supplied about a third of the world’s phosphate, and it has essentially banned exports through 2022,” Franzen continues. “That puts the burden of supply on other countries, including the United States.” According to Franzen, the U.S. is not in a great position for mine and production expansion due to serious environmental concerns. This means that phosphate prices, which are already high, will continue to increase at least through 2022. Nitrogen (N) Major crops in North Dakota that require higher rates of N fertilizer are corn, small grains, sunflower and canola. Most dry bean acres and flax require or receive N, but rates are modest compared to the four previously mentioned classes of crops. To economically survive the higher N costs, Franzen recommends farmers consider implementing one or more of the following strategies: Soil sample by zone for two-foot depth residual soil nitrate. Soil nitrate N values are higher this year due to the drought and lower crop yields in 2021. Sampling in zone for accuracy allows farmers to take

detection and increase the rate of survival. According to the North Dakota Cancer Coalition’s “Start the Conversation, Make Breast Cancer Screening Part of Your Wellness Plan” information page (https:// www.ndcancercoalition.org/image/cache/Start_Convo_Breast_ Cancer_Screening.pdf), there are certain risk factors or lifestyle factors that increase or decrease your risk of developing breast cancer. But everyone including young, old, woman, or man are at risk for breast cancer and need to be aware of changes to their bodies and get regular screenings. Breast Cancer Risk Factors You Cannot Change: • Being female. • Increasing age. • Personal history. • Family history. • Inherited breast cancer gene. • Radiation exposure. • Early age menstruation. • Older age menopause. • Dense breast tissue Lifestyle Factors that Increase Your Risk: • Having your first child after age 25. • Having never been pregnant. • Postmenopausal hormone therapy. • Being overweight or obese. • Drinking more than 2 alcoholic beverages a day. Lifestyle-related factors that decrease your risk: • Breastfeeding • Physical Activity Mammogram recommendations according to the North Dakota Cancer Coalition: • Women ages 40-44 should discuss beginning mammograms with their health care provider. • Women ages 45-54 should receive annual mammograms. • Women 55+ can continue annual or switch to every two years

• How long screenings should continue should be discussed with their healthcare provider. There are several things we can do to help us reduce our risk of getting breast cancer. It is helpful to have a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in fat. It’s important to limit alcoholic drinks. It is extremely important to have physical activity be a regular part of our routine and to maintain a healthy body weight. It’s important to reduce stress and have a positive outlook on life. If you are looking for more information on breast cancer risks, assessments, screenings, or other topics related to breast cancer, please ask your health care professional or visit a reliable source such as the National Cancer Institute, the Center for Disease Control Cancer site, or the North Dakota Cancer Coalition. If you would like help finding these resources, you can always contact our office at 256-2560, stop into the Cavalier County Courthouse, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. This article is for those who have passed away: my beloved aunt, my second cousin, the men and women of Cavalier County, all of whom are greatly missed. This is also for the breast cancer survivors of Cavalier County, my high school best friend’s mom, two of my former colleagues, my childhood friend’s mom, several family friends, my former neighbor’s daughter, my former student, and many more who have been affected by breast cancer.

advantage of N already present in the soil and apply variable rate N if practical for the 2022 crop. This reduces rates without negative yield or profitability consequences. Use nitrogen calculators to determine N rates for corn, spring wheat/durum and sunflower. As N costs increase and grain prices stay level, profitable N rates decrease. The relationship between N rate and yield in crops is not a straight line. It is a curve with “shoulders” near the peak. NDSU offers several nitrogen calculator apps at https:// www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/aghub/ag-topics/crop-production/ crops-tools. Fall N application is an option for most soils in North Dakota. Sandy soils and those with flooding potential near streams and rivers are not fall application soils. See the NDSU Crop and Pest Report article for details on fall application guidelines: https://www.ndsu.edu/ agriculture/ag-hub/ag-topics/ crop-production/crop-pest-report/ soils/guidelines-fall-n-applicationnorth-dakota Phosphate (P) Major crops in North Dakota that require P are corn, sugarbeet, potato, small grains, canola, soybean and dry bean. Sunflower and flax do not need supplemental P at any soil test value, no matter how low. Of P-requiring crops in a high phosphate price year, all of the P can be supplied by a seed-placed or nearseed-placed starter in sugarbeet, canola, small grains and western North Dakota corn. “Potato will always need high rates of phosphate,” says Franzen. “Corn always needs starter phosphate, but very low to low soil testing soils should receive supplemental broadcast, deep-banded or air-seeder-banded phosphate in addition. Soybean should not receive seed-placed phosphate due to yield reduction, and dry bean can receive small amounts of seed-placed phos-

phate or broadcast.” Franzen recommends the following guidelines for reducing P costs and maximizing P use efficiency for the 2022 crop: Soil sample by zone and follow NDSU recommendations for each crop. Although there are no P calculators in North Dakota, NDSU spring wheat/durum research indicates that as P costs rise, the critical value of soil test P that results in profitable P application decreases. For soybean, NDSU Extension recommends a critical value of 6 ppm for a ‘normal’ P cost/soybean price relationship, but in today’s economic conditions, 5 ppm would be a more reasonable critical value. Despite many farmers remembering soil loss this past spring and either leaving volunteer cereals grow or planting a cover crop, or exploring strip-till/no-till, there are others who are leaving their soils black. These fields should not have any fall phosphate. If P is applied to these fields, even if worked into the soil an inch or two, the chances of it surviving into June at the rates applied are slim due to probable soil loss primarily from wind. Consider applying any broadcast rates of P for corn into soybean or wheat stubble with a drill or airseeder. This will place that phosphate below a depth susceptible to water movement and wind movement during the fall, winter and spring. Potassium (K) Potassium fertilizer prices are currently high and may move higher due to the pull from N and P. “The most important strategy to use for potassium in North Dakota is to follow the NDSU recommendations for potassium for each crop, soil test by zone and use the North Dakota potassium calculator for corn to avoid any excessive and futile potassium application,” says Franzen. For sandy soils with low real cation exchange capacity, it is unlikely these will ever test greater than 100 ppm no matter how much K is applied. For these soils in particular, it is important to use only what is required to grow the next crop knowing that the soil test will not “build” with additional K.

ert “Bobby”, was born. In 1947 they bought their first home where she continued to live for 73 years. She and Omar divorced, and she later married Bert Quist, a widower with two small toddlers, Pamela and Guy, whom she raised. During her life, she worked as a waitress and as a supervisor at the Bank of America. She and Bert owned Amity Market, and she also ran it for several years after their divorce. Summer of 1957 brought tragedy into her life when her 15-year-old son, Bobby, died in an automobile accident. Years later, Omar reentered her life, and they remarried and were together until his death in 1994. She enjoyed many hobbies during her retirement including ceramics, painting, knitting, crocheting, and gardening. In 2019, she moved to Washington state to live with her niece, Keri. Many thanks to Whatcom Hospice House which took loving care of her during her end-of-life journey. Mitzi was preceded in death by her parents and 13 siblings, son Bobby, and husband Omar. She leaves countless memories to be cherished by her surviving sister, Mildred Galvin of Minot, ND; daughter Pamela Christensen and son Guy Quist; grandsons: Jon Monestier, Scot Christensen, Mark (Suzie) Christensen; great-grandson Isak Christensen, all of California; great-granddaughters Allison Craig and Brooke Monestier of Oregon; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

Ethan and Debbie Peterson donated materials to the St.Alphonsus STEAM lab. Thank you so much, Debbie Peterson, for working with Thrivent Financial for this wonderful grant to set up our students with great science and art materials!
Fall Brings Technology Upgrades The new iPads are here! The new iPads are here! I am so pleased to write those words. We now have 15 additional iPads available to our students, making St. Alphonsus School a 1-to-1 technology school. That means we have an iPad available for each student to use. A portion of our Giving Hearts Day money raised in February purchased these new devices. We thank our generous donors for making these additions possible. We have generous donors from our community that show up in many ways. This past week, Debbie Peterson dropped off magnetic marble runs, science experiment, and art project supplies for our new STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) lab. Debbie
worked with Thrivent Financial to make this donation possible. These items will provide a great foundation for our new lab; we can’t wait to get everything moved in and ready for our students so they can start on projects. Also in school technology news, our teachers will receive new MacBook Air laptops in the coming weeks. It’s important to our school and our school leaders to make sure our technology is up to date for our students. The technology world changes quickly, and we want to keep up with it. Our students need this new technology for their studies, their individual and group projects, and to keep up. We’re so proud to be able to offer them these opportunities, and we’re proud to live in a community that supports our technology goals. Carrie Hope is in her 3rd year as principal at St. Alphonsus School. She can be reached at carrie.hope@k12. nd.us or at 701-256-2354. St. Alphonsus School opened in 1921.
St. Alphonsus students preschool-4th grade enjoyed fun and educational field trips to the NDSU Research Center! The students learned about the different trees of North Dakota, potatoes, pumpkins, and the farm! Thank you to the Research Center staff for the wonderful field trips!

October 5, 2021, was the first gathering of the month which means it is time for the monthly meeting conducted by co-president Laurel Brusseau. Since July 1st, co-president Susan Danielson has been conducting the meetings but headed south for the winter. The regular agenda was followed, according to Hoyle or is that cards, whatever! Among reports was the Pumpkin Fest, which was very successful. Some comments made were the lack of painting classes which have been held in the past by Amy Phillips and were very well attended and enjoyed by many. Amy says she hopes to be on the mend and would love to do the classes once more next year. Our art display areas have been re-arranged and are ready for your inspection, This we do every four months. One of our new members, Thea Thompson, is our Artist of the Month; her display is very impressive and worth seeing. October 31 is Halloween - a night to get out, howl and collect candy. The Brush Bunch is planning a class on November 2 by Amy Pucket. November 20 is the Holiday Open House here in Walhalla, and plans are in motion for the Brush Bunch to participate. We cannot forget that November 25 is Thanksgiving, a holiday that seems to get run over by the commercializing of Christmas. Father mentioned that Thanksgiving is on Thursday again this year, so I included a turkey painting I did several years ago which was purchased by Doc Blanchard of Langdon. We are searching, among the Brush Bunch, for a new selection of Christmas greeting cards. Our annual Christmas club party was talked about and will be brought up again before our next meeting. We welcome two new members, Thea Thompson and Father Asseline, bringing our number up to twenty. Welcome aboard!

Cards lose first game of the season at Hillsboro-CV 28-13 L-E-M winning streak snapped at 44

The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team headed into week seven of the regular season playing one of their toughest opponents, Hillsboro-Central Valley, in Hillsboro. A heavy rain came down just before kickoff, and a light steady shower and drizzle continued for much of the contest. The Cards and Burros battled each other all night long, but in the end, H-CV converted more big plays and won 28-13. It was the first loss for an LEM Cardinals team since November 10, 2017, when they also lost to the Burros in the State Class A Championship. It ended a 44-game winning streak, one that everyone involved should be extremely proud to be a part of. The Cards are now 6-1 on the season and will look to begin a new winning streak when they play the last two games of the regular season at home: Oct. 8 versus Northern Cass and Oct. 15 against Carrington. The game at Hillsboro could not have started better for the Cardinals, as H-CV fumbled on their second play from scrimmage, which was recovered by Sean Goeser of Langdon-Edmore-Munich. The

Cards took advantage of the Burros miscue and marched down the field, scoring on a two-yard run by Carter Tetrault - his 10th rushing touchdown of the season. Alex Gellner followed with an extra point kick. On their next possession, the Burros fumbled again, and the Cardinals looked like they had it, but in the wet conditions allowed the ball to squirt away from underneath when they tried to jump on it. After they avoided near disaster, H-CV went down and scored on a two-yard run from Gavin Mitzel and a Parker Gallagher kick to tie the game. The Cardinals punted on their next time with the football, a perfect drop kick from Rayce Worley putting the ball at the two-yard line. But two long drives from the Burros would be the difference in the game. They slowly worked their way down field, converting a number of first downs to move the chains and scored on a 15-yard run by quarterback Riley Olson. H-CV would lead 14-7 at the half. A big part of the game would come in the third quarter. The Cardinals worked the ball into the Burros red zone and had it all the way to the three yard line but could not punch the ball in for a score. So H-CV took over and went on another long drive, 97 yards, with the help of a trick play pass to Jace Leshuk from deep in their own territory on a third and long which went for 55 yards and was unofficially the only competed pass for the Burros all night. They ended up scoring on that lengthy drive on another Mitzel run, which was a 14-point turnaround. The Cards made it close on a 40-yard bomb in

Lady Cards finish third at DL-B Tourney, sweep Rolla in Region 4 match By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals girls volleyball team has been busy the past week. They participated in the Des Lacs-Burlington Tournament on Oct. 1-2, and finished third in a very competitive field, losing to Minot Our Redeemers in the semi finals, before beating Central Cass for third place. After the tourney, the Lady Cards went to Rolla for a Region 4 match, and swept the Bulldogs 3-0. The Cardinals hosted St. John on Oct. 7, then will entertain nine other teams in the 37th Annual Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament on Oct. 9. Langdon-Edmore-Munich then hits the road at Nelson County in McVille on Oct. 12, and at Harvey-Wells County on Oct. 14. The Cards now have an overall record of 19-2, and are unbeaten in Region 4 matches so far this season. Here is a recap of their last couple of matches: Minot Our Redeemers 2, Langdon-Edmore-Munich 0; LangdonEdmore-Munich 2, Central Cass 1 (DL-B Tourney) In the tournament at Des Lacs Burlington, the Cardinals won all of their pool play matches over Beulah, Fargo Oak Grove, LaMoure and Ray by scores of 2-0. Things got a little more interesting in the tournament play that followed, as the Cards snuck by DL-B 2-1 after
losing the first set than coming on strong. That win put them in the semifinals against Minot Our Redeemers, and they lost a very close match by set scores of 25-23 and 25-21. Playing for third place, the Cardinals won a very close match against Central Cass for the second time this season, after beating them in five sets in Carrington earlier this season. In the match versus the Squirrels, Morgan Thielbar had eight kills and five service aces, while Morgan Freije had 15 kills in all. LangdonEdmore-Munich got double-doubles from Freije in both the Our Redeemers and Central Cass matches with 11 kills and 15 digs, and 15 kills and 12 digs respectively. Setter Jalynn Swanson had a doubledouble versus the Knights with 16 assists and 14 digs. Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, Rolla 0 In the next match following the DL-B Tournament, the Lady Cards went to Rolla to battle a scrappy Bulldogs team. The Cardinals just kept battling to win each game and sweep the match. Serving was a big part of the Rolla win. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had 16 aces as a team, spread between six players, with Morgan Freije leading the way with five, then three each from Halle Jabs and Jalynn Swanson. Freije had a double-double in the match win with 16 kills and 13 digs. McKenna Schnei-

Jake’s take on sports By Jake Kulland
Cardinals football team has winning streak come to and end at 44; Here's a look back Well, it has finally come to an end. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals football team lost at Hillsboro-Central Valley on Oct. 1 2813, which ended a nearly four year run of a 44 game winning streak. The last time the Cardinals lost a game was the State Class A Football Championship Game, also to H-CV on November 10, 2017. That is a span of 1,421 days, which is incredible to even say. When talking to the North Dakota High School Activities Association, they say that the 44 game streak for Class B schools was only eclipsed by Cavalier in the early 2000's, and New England-Regent in the 1990's, which were both 47. Now that the streak is over, we can look back and reflect on a number of good times that came with it. Three state titles were involved, and a number of all-state players came from the run. In alphabetical order, here are the Cards All-staters during the winning streak -- Alex Cluchie, Carter Currey, Jackson Delvo (Twice), Jesse Fetsch, Sean Gette, Grant Romfo (3 times), Jack Romfo, Simon Romfo (3 times) and Carter Tetrault. It seems like there should have been more players get all-state honors but they are the ones. Simon of course also won Senior Athlete of the Year after last season. Also Coach Krivarchka won three of his four Coach of Year award during the streak. There are so many great memories from the teams, involved, including a thrilling revenge win over Hillsboro-Central Valley in the 2018 Championship, a come from behind win in 2018 at Carrington, and total domination in 2019 and 2020, with a convincing comeback win over Lisbon in 2020 State Championship thrown in. All in all, this winning streak is something that will be talked about by players and alumni for
years to come. How crazy is it that none of the guys on this years team had never lost a varsity high school football game, until the loss at Hillsboro. It also even a little crazier that some fans act as if the season ended after that game. That's not even close, as the Cards will close out their regular season on Oct. 8 versus Northern Cass, then also at home against Carrington on Oct. 15. The team will try to start a new streak at one and two, and of course a deep playoff run is still very possible for this years team. Hats off to the Cardinals on a surreal 44 game winning run, and best of luck to them starting a new one. Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament looks to its most competitive ever Oct. 9 is the 37th Annual Langdon Invitational Volleyball Tournament at the Langdon High School gym. This years tourney looks to be the best ever, as three teams rated in the top 10 will be involved in Langdon-Edmore-Munich, Thompson and North Star, plus one that received votes in Oakes. There are also competitive teams involved from May-Port-C-G, Shiloh Christian, Benson County, North Border, Cavalier and Hillsboro-Central Valley. The tourney starts at 9:00 a.m., and the championship match should be happening around 5:00 p.m. We hope you can get out and enjoy the action. Langdon Country Club to tentatively close Oct. 15 As we write we have had some fantastic October weather, but fall looks like it will finally enter our area in the week ahead, and that means the Langdon Country Club will be shutting down for the season. Groundskeeper Kevin "Cocoa" Beauchamp tells us that Oct. 15 is the date for closing the course as of right now, but if the weather stays nice (Which it is supposed to until at least the end of the month), they may keep it going awhile longer. We will update you on that situation here in the weeks ahead. "See ya!" next week!

Prairie Doc® Perspectives: Reach out for that lifeline By Andrew Ellsworth, M.D. Imagine yourself in a blizzard so thick and cold and blinding that you could not see your hands right in front of you. Such blizzards were common 150 years ago on the upper great plains. Without much for houses and trees, the wind blew the snow with such force that the little ice crystals were more like little knives making it hard to keep one’s eyes open even if there was something to see. Thus, to get safely from the house to the barn, farmers often hung a rope between the two, to not get lost. It was literally a lifeline. Otherwise, one wrong turn and perhaps nothing would stop you from wandering across the frozen prairie. As a sixth generation South Dakotan, I cannot imagine some of the hardships my forefathers had to endure to survive. How did they feed themselves when the rains did not come, or when the fires did? How did they heat the house when the wood or coal had run out? How did they fight the boredom of months in a single room, not to mention the isolation? There are many who still face those questions. Farming still carries great risks with drought, floods, or financial stress. There is the chance of failure, of losing the family farm, of choosing the wrong crops or the wrong time to plant in unpredictable markets with trade wars, changing weather patterns, and other factors. One little mistake
may ruin a million-dollar piece of equipment or result in a lifetime disabling accident. Given these pressures, it may not come as any surprise that farming has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, which has been rising over the last decade. Of course, you do not have to be a farmer to face financial, physical, or mental pressures that may contribute to feelings of helplessness, failure, loss of hope, and depression. You may be easily irritated and feel like sleeping all day, lack energy, and no longer enjoy what you once did. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out. Call this hotline available for those in crisis or for those looking to help someone else, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Radios on the Prairie Reading diaries 90-100 years old is a journey to a world most of us have never experienced. While readers may not want to know all the details, some explanation will help to set the stage. Each day’s entry begins with the time my aunt got up and her routine for the day which included making fire in the kitchen stove, a trip to the barn to help with the milking, back to the house to make breakfast, and a listing of the chores for the day which often included washing clothes, ironing (if the weather cooperated and the clothes dried), baking bread, pies (named by filling contents), baking angel cakes if they had the required eggs, and cookie recipes listed by names. She favored Sally Ann’s, Aunt Mary’s white cookies, oatmeal, or drop cookies. To the end of her life, she used the extralarge pans from the cook car which would bake a single recipe in one pan. Adeline always seemed to be in charge of the baking, but long ago when Grandma was still alive and various sisters were part of the household , everyone had their special jobs. Anyone who dropped in to see them got a listing in her diary, often with the name misspelled so you had to study it a while to figure out who she meant. With a lot of people having the same first names, she had her own code to keep them separate. Family members had no initial letters behind their name, but if you were familiar with the neighborhood - you knew that “S” meant Schrader, “B meant Balsdon or Bowles, and “K” stood
for Kaercher. Aunts and uncles had that title in front of their names, and adult neighbors were not known by first names if they were the age of her parents and many were. Those people were formally identified as Mr. or Mrs. Apparently, they had a different telephone line than the neighbors because many entries list a neighbor coming to use the phone before the family was up in the morning. The line was possibly just within the township and did not, at that time, go all the way to Osnabrock. Another early line in that area was called the Norwegian line, and as a child I remember reaching up out of the high chair (stored below the phone) and calling to anyone nearby that the phone talked funny. In abbreviated form Adeline lists where the men were working each day, who went to town with a load of grain (plus the town), who hauled stones or plowed, and details of the frequent butchering days. Butchering kettles, saws, and other items were often shared with neighbors and first Grandma and then Adeline were on hand to help make the sausage and the casings. Visitors were listed, usually by name, but sometimes as “man and two boys” indicating they were strangers. If they came during a storm and stayed a few days, their names might appear later in the diary. As I wrote before, there was company every day with most staying for meals or a night or two. Girls away from home working or going to school were expected to come home for holidays and with their families after they were married. Because we lived in Minnesota we spent only one Christmas at Grandma’s although she made time to visit us more often. Any activities at the Zion Church were noted. Several of the neigh-
Cavalier County Republican
Langdon Long Ago
bors had attended an earlier Zion Church in Ontario, and others had belonged to an earlier Zion Church east of Cavalier so the first pastors were circuit riders from Pembina County and stayed at this home, handily located along the side of a road that would later be Highway 5. When a full-time pastor was assigned, he and his family lived with the Wenzel family until a small parsonage was built west of their house in 1895. The early pastors depended on their neighbors for milk, meat, and help in times of emergency. Grandma was not only a long time Sunday School teacher but also cleaned the church each week and decorated it with flowers from her garden. The early church was not heated except on Sundays and had gas lamps before an arrangement was made for electricity in the 1940s. The heavy wooden chairs were replaced by pews around the same time lights became available from the highline which bordered the highway. Her youngest daughter-in-law inherited her custodial and decorating tasks in more modern times. What I really wanted to write about this week were the things they did for fun, and there were picnics anywhere they had trees, programs at the church and the nearby school (Hay #3) as well as all the holidays that were celebrated year after year. One of the older sons, Milton Wenzel, had worked in Langdon and Sheboygan, WI, as a young man and was actually helping a Kaercher cousin with harvest in Montana when his draft notice for World War I arrived. Uncle Milt reported for duty and was sent to France where he worked on a new type of equipment – airplanes. As it happened, he was sent to AlsaceLorraine where his own grandparents had lived before immigrating
to Canada in 1831. No, he did not meet unknown relatives. Coming home brought or made a radio. Pictures of the early ham radio sets had parts similar to what we were told was Milt’s radio although it was replaced after a few years and possibly again in 1931 by a newer “floor model”. Milt’s radio must have had some phonographic components because when the house at the farm was no longer used by all of the Dan Wenzel family, some early “records” were given to me to pass on to the Museum at Dresden. These “records” looked like a tin can, and I have no idea how they were used to provide music or programming. If someone knows, the Museum might welcome your expertise. It would be 1922 before the more popular stations in North Dakota were available, but short wave had existed in Langdon since 1917 or earlier. Owners of those sets were the Opie family (parents and their son, Ross, who enjoyed trying to reach other nations on his radio), lawyer Tom Devaney who lived across the street from the Opie family, and Mr. Arnold who came to Langdon to install the city water system. Radios of that era ran on batteries, and readers may remember a Delco plant which was usually in the basement and had to be started before the radio would operate. The diaries tell us that neighbors and relatives came often to the Wenzel home to listen to the radio with the visits in the evening or on Sundays to hear special programs. There are frequent mentions of low batteries (the operation might be spacey or non-existent) and how happy they were when the new batteries (obtained from catalogs) came in the mail. There are notes about getting WDAY in the early 1920s, and this was a longtime favorite station. About this same time politics was heating up – maybe it had always been around. Some in Hay Township liked Taft. My grandfather was a Teddy Roosevelt man. Later the Bull Moose party joined the NonPartisan League which at times was Republican and later Democrat. One diary entry tells about listening to KFYR when later wellknown politicians were speaking. The Farmers Union was active as well during this period of time and invited former and future governors, senators, and representatives to speak at their conventions. There are a number of diary references to Alex Haaven (still has family in Cavalier County), who at various times was a leader in Republican, Non-Partisan, and Farmers Union groups. When church was not held, the family got up early on Sunday to listen to services from Fargo. This was especially handy in the 1930s
when they had a city-born pastor who drove an Essex and made unusual requests. He did not mind them having Zion Church but felt the parsonage should be located in town! That would not happen for many years. The people who came to listen to the radio were not all interested in church services or politics. One program featured Clara, Lou, and Em who went all the way to Washington, DC, and provided a jigsaw puzzle of them on the Capitol steps to all who had the right coupons and possibly 50 cents. Another evening they listened to Seven Nights in a Bar Room which might have been a musical. It was enjoyed by all. There were also fans of Amos and Andy who came to listen to them, and as a small child I remember Sunday evenings as special since One Man’s Family would be on. By that time, they had a new radio which was a floor model. My memory of it is that it may have been a Philco. It sat on the west wall of the living room and had an aerial that went outside. The radio was taller than I was at that time and might have been purchased from Ross Opie or a Mr. Harwood as both dealt in radios in Langdon – maybe not at the same time. Somehow there is a memory of Earl Brown from Cavalier, who also sold radios and later television sets in addition to helping build wind chargers on farms. Those preREA towers brought radio to many homes for years. In school, rural students would mention listening to Lux Radio Theatre which was on every Monday night and ran the soundtrack from movies which might or might not have reached the Roxy. If you did not grow up having your name announced on the Birthday Train from Devils Lake or spending part of Saturday morning listening to Art Tweet (“Let’s all sing like the birdies sing, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet…..”), it is possible you spent noon hours eating lunch at home and listening to Ma Perkins and her friends or maybe the polkas of Whoopee John. The radio was on from morning till night at our house, so I associate many of the voices with mealtimes. News with H. V. Kaltenbourn was frequent as were the broadcasts from London during the war. The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode through our evening meals, and if you were home in the evening, you could hear Bob Hope, Red Skeleton, and sometimes a spooky show like “Only the Shadow Knows”. My aunt, Pearl, was crippled and spent much of the last thirty years of her life on the couch listening to the radio and was more in touch with the world we live in than many others. To her the radio was a lifeline to anywhere and everywhere.
