October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
By Linda Timian Republican Writer
Turn to Page 3 to read the latest from the Langdon City Commission.
Official Newspaper of Cavalier County Published since 1889
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Thursday, October 22, is “wear purple day.” Domestic Violence Awareness Month was first introduced in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and was specified for October in 1987. The purple ribbon is used to honor domestic violence victims and support growing awareness. Domestic violence is a pattern of cruel behavior where a person uses different types of abusive ways to control someone. It takes many forms – physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, economic and financial. It affects 10 million men, women, and children every year. On an average day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls made to domestic violence hotlines across the nation. As many as 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men face severe domestic violence from an intimate partner, resulting in injury, stress disorders, contracting sexually transmitted diseases and many other devastating results. As few as 34% of victims ever receive medical treatment for their injuries caused by their intimate
partner. If there is a gun in the home where domestic violence is taking place, the risk of homicide increases by over 500%. An abuser can be just about anyone, but is usually a person in close relationship with the abused person. They can come from any background, culture, religion, and economic status
behavior on drugs or alcohol. They may be charming and nice to others, even the victim. Abusers will use anger, humiliation, jealousy, accusations, blaming, cruelty, physical violence, possessiveness, verbal abuse, or be emotionally unpredictable. They may try to control the victim’s behavior, finances, rela-
and can be your neighbor, relative, teacher, clergy, spouse, parent, or co-worker. There are some common characteristics among many abusers. They may downplay the abuse or say it doesn’t exist, and the victim may believe them. They may have low selfesteem and may treat their victim like an object, property or sexual object. They may make excuses saying they are under a lot of stress and blame their
tionships, or work environment. When someone is in a domestic violence situation, it is important to seek help if they feel it is safe to do so. Unfortunately, there are many times where a victim will not leave or seek help because they are afraid of the abuser, they have been threatened, their children or pets have been threatened, or they feel they don’t have enough money and will end up
homeless. They may not have anyone to turn to that will support their decision. These fears can be compounded by expectations from family, society, and religion. They may be unaware that help is available. The Domestic Violence and Abuse Center in Grafton serves Cavalier, Pembina and Walsh counties. You can call the main line during regular working hours 701-331-0466, or the 24 hour crisis line after hours and on weekends, 1-866-435-7490. When you call, you will be connected with one of their trained advocates, who will talk with you and help you figure out the services you need which may include a protection order or temporarily moving into their shelter. There is always someone “on-call” during the night and on weekends, so if there is ever an emergency that’s not during business hours, there will always be someone available to assist you. Your call is confidential and calling does not mean you have to take action. The DVAC is there to provide emotional support and guidance; everything you do beyond that is completely your own choice.

A new way to trick or treat for the Cavalier County Food Pantry Emergency Health Profile now available In the past, area youth groups gathered on the Wednesday prior to Halloween, broke into groups, and went door to door throughout town collecting items for the food pantry saying, “Trick or treat for the food pantry!” when someone answered the door. This year, the event will focus on financial donations. "When talking with the food pantry, they mentioned that this year there is a greater need for financial donations than for food items, h o w e v e r, food items are happily still accepted,” said Pastor Jordan Braunberger. T h e event will still happen the Wednesday before Halloween (October 28), but instead of gathering as a group, everyone will be meeting at their own youth group buildings or churches.
All the youth groups will hear a unified message given by their pastor about hunger awareness and caring for their neighbor. "Youth whose church has no youth group leaders are welcome to join with another church for the evening,” shared Pastor Karl Breddin. “We want to make sure all youth are
welcome to participate in the event.” Students will then call or text church members or people in

their contact list asking for donations as well as posting and sharing a link to online giving. Online donations will be able to be given through a Cavalier County Ministerial Association PayPal account set up specifically for this purpose, which will make it easier to distinguish food pantry donations. The link for the PayPal site is paypal.me/ CCMA58249. A person will be asked to create a free PayPal account if they don’t already have one. Even though anyone can give at any time via this PayPal method, the specific dates for “Trick or Treat for the Food Pantry” will be Tuesday, October 27 to Tuesday, November 3. Af te r wa rd s, a check will be written for the total amount donated and given to the food pantry. cont. on page 3

Langdon City Commission appoints new commissioner By Adam Johnston Republican Writer The Langdon City Commision met Monday, October 12 hearing reports from city departments. Along with the presented reports, Deputy Auditor Frankie Stremick submitted her resignation to pursue a position with Cavalier County. As city hall is currently undergoing construction in the office areas, it was decided this vacancy will not be filled until office functions resume in city hall offices. After the conclusion of department reports the Commission heard statements from individuals interested in filling the vacant commissioner position. It was previously announced that any parties interested in the opening would be allowed time to present their case for appointment at this meeting. Two individuals, Susan Faye Crockett and Cody Schlittenhard, were present to submit their statement. Susan Faye Crockett posited that with careful thought and consideration, she would like to participate on the Commission. Crockett stated that she brings experience as she has served on local/state boards in the past. Also noted was that, as both a resident and local business owner, she would bring a unique perspective. Cody Schlittenhard followed presenting that he has previously served on the Commission. He submitted his resignation last November as he moved out of the area. He has made the decision to return to the Langdon community and states that one aspect of life here he missed the most was his partici-
pation on the Commission. He concluded sharing that either way the commissioners voted, he appreciated the opportunity both past and present. After these statements, four commissioners voted favoring Crockett 3-1. Her appointment came with congratulations from both the Commission and Schlittenhard. As the Commission hopes to settle the ongoing utility bill issue at the next official meeting, it was decided her swearing in will be the first order of business on that date. This will give Crockett two weeks to study the issue before participating in the resolution after she is sworn in. The next official meeting is scheduled for October 26. Finally, in regards to Moore Engineering projects, a local resident was present to voice concern. It was stated that in 2016 a 4th Street residence experiencing backup issues was told they were responsible for any service line extending from house to manhole. The resident at the time paid a reported $2,000 to resolve the issue. The remedy was successful for two years, until street construction was implemented in 2018. A third party was consulted to place a camera in the pipe, revealing an elbow was causing a blockage. With this issue being dealt with in the past by a now past commission member and going unresolved, the resident questioned, who is responsible for this new necessary repair? In response, Andrew Aakre from Moore Engineering said that the cause could be that Spruce Valley's line on 5th street is now roughly 2 feet lower than before, thus affect-

ing this particular service line. He expressed they should have the ability to run a new service line to the cleanout with additional available grant funds. If enacted, this would be at no cost to the resident and could be bundled with next spring's planned “Phase 2” project. This brought on questions of when to implement the repair. Tentatively undecided, it’s possible the line could be rerun this fall with paving done next spring. The decision was made that the first step was to contact Spruce Valley regarding this issue within a few days from the meeting. Mayor Jerry Nowatzki concluded his primary concern is resolving the issue at no cost to the resident. Also, in regards to the street improvement project, the city was prepared to meet with a bonding agency the afternoon of October 12 to form a plan before the scheduled Commission meeting. However, the agency rescheduled for the following day. With that, it was decided to discuss the bonding issue at the next official meeting, October 26, at 6 p.m. in the Langdon Firehall.
October – YOU Time North Dakota State Treasurer Kelly Schmidt October – YOU Time FALL…it is my favorite time of year! I love the leaves’ changing colors, the crunching sound they make under my feet while outside enjoying the day. Football is FINALLY back on airwaves, and in some areas, our kids are back on the field. The air is cool, and the sweatshirts are back! Did I mention it’s my favorite! Some of us are already jumping forward to the holidays, looking forward to celebrating our traditions with family and friends; this year may bring many new challenges. Schools are back in session, but for most families, school looks very different this year. Kids are home more than ever, and many parents are still working from home. Add that to a concern for our elderly and those at high-risk, and our “stress buckets” are overflowing. How do we keep it all in perspective, and find some time for ourselves amid these ongoing challenges? We are so accustomed to going, going, going. If this pandemic has taught me anything, it is to slow down and enjoy the simple things. Simple is good! Working from home has eliminated the of-
fice’s rush home, giving families more time to prepare and enjoy a meal TOGETHER. Celebrate the little things! Make those special events more familiar, like a fall bonfire with the kids or a cozy movie night with your spouse. Many of us thought this pandemic would be over by now; instead, we are still in the heart of it. We must find ways to take care of ourselves. Can you carve out 30 mins of each day to breathe and enjoy some alone time? Enjoy these last beautiful fall days by getting outside. Exercise and fresh air help clear the mind and help you sleep better at night. Maybe it’s a walk; perhaps it is sending the kids outside with your spouse while you make supper, or something as simple as a trip to the grocery store alone. Curl up with a good book, something that takes you away. It can be the simplest of things, but it will allow us a small sense of normalcy. As we prepare for the holiday season and what that entails, try to take this fall and enjoy the simple things. To learn more, visit our website at www.treasurer.nd.gov to find financial literacy resources and detailed fiscal information regarding our state. We are on social media! Be sure and like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for current information relating to your dollars and our office.

Upside Down Under By Marvin Baker
Son of Sam in North Dakota… Many of us will remember the name David Berkowitz. He was the serial killer from New York who was finally arrested on Aug. 11, 1977, after terrorizing residents of greater New York City for the better part of two years. What many don’t know is that Berkowitz had a connection to North Dakota and, apparently, was here on at least one occasion. His connection was John Carr, who was stationed at the Minot Air Force Base. Berkowitz was a neighbor to the Carr family that lived in Yonkers, N.Y. After Berkowitz was captured and confessed to being the Son of Sam, he told author Maury Terry that the Carr’s dog, Harvey, talked to him and told him to kill people, including John Carr. Airman Carr died of a gunshot wound while he was stationed at Minot Air Force Base. The Air Force ruled it a suicide, but Terry, who wrote a book called “The Ultimate Evil,” describes how Carr was found on his stomach following his death. Had it been suicide, the force of the gunshot would have thrown him in a backward motion, and he would have landed on his back. Thus, Terry and many others believe it was murder. As a matter of fact, it is alleged that Berkowitz was in a downtown Minot restaurant eating breakfast about the time John Carr died on base. Carr, who was known to be a satanist, had the numbers 666 drawn on his hand in dried blood when his body was found. If that’s not enough to send chills up your spine, Berkowitz may have been connected to a North Dakota woman who mysteriously died in Palo Alto, Calif. Her name was Arlis Perry, and somebody carried out a sophisticated stalking to find her and kill her. She, apparently, knew too much or had seen too much regarding satanic rituals in the hills south of Bismarck, and high-profile people involved didn’t want her to spill the beans so allegedly had her killed. As Terry writes in “The Ultimate Evil,” there were numerous satanic rituals on those hillsides near Mary College, which is now the University of Mary. Perry grew up in Bismarck and probably saw or heard something she wasn’t
supposed to see or hear. Perry’s maiden name was Dykema, and she was born in Linton. Her killing was brutal and satanic, and her body was found in a chapel in Palo Alto. She was 19. Sometime following Perry’s death, Berkowitz mentioned the Perry murder in some of his letters from prison, but after an interview with the San Jose Mercury News, the Mercury News concluded that Berkowitz wasn’t connected to Arlis Perry. However, during police questioning, Berkowitz volunteered information to the investigators that made it appear as if he was at least in the loop of what had happened. And some investigators strongly believe that Berkowitz was at least a “silent partner” in the brutal deaths of Perry and Carr. Perry’s murder happened Oct. 12, 1974, and the crime went unsolved for more than 40 years until 2018 when police named Stephen Crawford as the perpetrator during DNA testing. Crawford was a security guard at Stanford University who purportedly discovered Perry’s body and committed suicide before he could be arrested. Perry’s husband, Bruce, was a pre-med student at Stanford. According to Terry, Berkowitz was the kind of person who could slip through a lot of cracks. In the book it describes how he stalked young people in New York for months before killing them, and during that time he had several “near misses” with police. After he had killed several of his victims, he sent taunting letters to New York police precincts and was very careful about doing it so things like handwriting couldn’t be traced. Sometime in the summer of 1977, he launched several complaints against a neighbor, and at the same time, a witness who heard shots from a double homicide identified Berkowitz’ car. The police ran a license plate check, connected the dots and arrested him. Time magazine said it was just in the nick of time. He was already responsible for 13 killings and told police he was planning to go to a New York resort with an automatic weapon, open fire, and go down in a blaze of glory. Berkowitz, now 66 years old, was eligible to file for parole in May. Nothing came of it, and he is likely to spend the rest of his life in the maximum security prison in upstate New York. This is just a summary of this twisted individual. The book describes all the gruesome details.
Government often ignores the Constitution History confirms the keen insight of James Madison’s warning in No. 51 of the Federalist Papers that the greatest challenge confronting the republic is persuading the government to obey the law. Governmental practice and sweeping, unfounded claims to power, reveal officials’ frequent indifference to the Constitution. The observation of a 17th Century English jurist that “the practice of government is but feeble proof of its legality,” may be a bit cynical, but it nevertheless illuminates the temptation to abuse power, which often leads to the violations of the rights and liberties of the people. Governmental practice reflects violations of the constitutional allocation of power and the Bill of Rights across a vista of two centuries. Consider a laundry list that discloses a checkered past, despite the fundamental principle that governmental officials have no authority to violate the Constitution. In times of crisis government officials have lost their Constitutional compass. In 1798, Congress, caught in the heat of war with France, enacted the infamous Sedition Act, which made it illegal to criticize certain officials, including President John Adams, in a manner that would cause their reputations to fall into a state of disrepute. The statute was passed despite the fact that the First Amendment, ratified in 1791, guaranteed freedom of speech, which protected citizens’ right to criticize presidential policies. Rep.

That committee is meeting monthly now instead of the historical quarterly meetings. The next meeting of the Budget Section is to be held on October 28.

Adams of having “an unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp.” For these harsh words, Lyon was arrested, convicted and imprisoned for violating the Sedition Act. But the stout, independent voters of Vermont rejected the blanket suppression of freedom of speech and elected Lyon to a second term in the U. S. House of Representatives while he was behind bars. The best psychological explanation for the repressive Sedition Act, which violated the very spirit and purpose of freedom of speech, is that governmental representatives temporarily lost their minds. That congressional loss of understanding, call it temporary insanity, would re-emerge on various occasions in our history, leading to violations of power and the rights and liberties of Americans. Presidents, too, could act unwisely. On Feb. 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which, accompanied by a statute, provided for the forced removal of Japanese-American citizens from their homes on the West Coast and the placement in internment camps. The U.S. Supreme Court, to its shame, upheld the executive order and statute based on a fraudulent, racist military report that suggested Japanese-American citizens would be loyal to the Japanese Empire, rather than to the United States. There was no recorded evidence of disloyalty among the 125,000 citizens who suffered grievous violations of their right to due process of law. The flagrant violation of the rights of JapaneseAmerican citizens led Congress, in 1988, to issue an official apology and grant reparations to those who had been interned. No account of civil rights violations is complete without critical commentary on the systematic denial of the rights of Black Americans. The Supreme Court, in the Civil Rights Cases of 1883, struck down the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which prohibited private acts of racial discrimination. In 1896, in
Plessy v. Ferguson, the Court upheld racial segregation when it introduced the doctrine of “separate but equal,” despite the fact that the 14th Amendment guaranteed equal protection of the law. The systematic and continued violation of Black Americans’ 15th Amendment right to vote, through voter suppression, disenrollment and voter ID laws, remains one of the most tragic practices in our nation’s history. The broad, historic racism inflicted by officials at all levels of government against Native Americans, moreover, reflects another deeply painful chapter in our nation’s story. The Supreme Court, despite powerful dissenting opinions from Justices Ginsburg and Kagan, refused recently to prevent the State of North Dakota from enforcing a voter ID law that required proof of a street address to exercise the franchise. This law essentially disenfranchises some 75,000 Native Americans. The many violations of the constitutional rights of our citizens could fill up stadiums, and while they are prominent in the minds of Americans, there is a compelling civics education need for greater public awareness of the scores of violations by governmental officials of the constitutional allocation of powers. Violations of the allocation powers have been frequent and momentous. Indeed, they have included acts of surpassing importance to the nation, including critical national security matters. We turn to these issues next week. ~~~ Adler is president of The Alturas Institute, created to advance American Democracy through promotion of the Constitution, civic education, equal protection and gender equality.

Legislative Update
Report From the Legislature islators. Since my last legislative report a week ago, I’ve attended seven meetings dealing with my legislative duties. I’ve turned down attendance at a few others due to conflicts in the schedule. One meeting I had in Bismarck was to get my new computers. Each legislator has a laptop and an I-pad for legislative use. The state has a four years replacement cycle which is about normal for most business. I did find it rather odd that they wanted us to get our new computers despite the election where some of us may not be re-elected. They explained that they would not have time to get 282 computers all up to speed, passwords changed, training done, etc. if they waited until after the Nov. 3 election. It took over two hours for my computers to get completed, so I guess that makes some sense. I seem to have had lots of constituents reach out to me on possible legislation they would like introduced. This is the time to think about that and get things rolling as once the session starts it moves too quickly to get complicated bills drafted and acted upon. If anyone has ideas on possible legislation, you can email at: dmonson@nd.gov or call me at 701-496-3394. Email is definitely the best as that makes a written record to follow.

ND Grain Dealers and producers have all had input into this final bill draft that received unanimous support from our committee. We did a simple but important change of volume to value that will reflect the various types of grain grown and purchased to adequately bond the industry on actual business conducted rather than the volume they may be able to hold. We also identified clearly in the Century Code all grain buyers and licensing of such. The draft combines facility-based buyers or federal warehouse with current state warehouse one license and one Section of law. Recent insolvencies caused this review with licensing changes to capture and identify grain buyers, thus creating accountability. The bill also moves processors out of the current warehouse license and creates a new license to reflect their actual operation giving adequate ability to ensure that bonds exist to protect the entire grain industry, foremost of all producers. The draft has a license to capture grain brokers to create more accountability for insolvencies. In the past the producer had no recourse and brokers were not liable for potential fraudulent transactions. Included in this draft legislation is a new limit of a 30-day window to convert a scale ticket or change it to delayed contract. If not done by this deadline the producer will lose the indemnity trust fund protections. This bill is the work that was given to our committee in the ongoing process of the AG Commissioner taking over the responsibility of grain inspection and handling. Though the above sounds convoluted it in actuality streamlines the process while protecting all parties. It is a good product and will surely be one of the most important bills next Session where we hope to ensure more input to have adequate laws in place. The recently somewhat controversial “Road Train” pilot program was another bill we voted on. This was a short bill relating to the Governor’s authority to exceed size and weight limitations of motor vehicles. This is a new look at over the road trucking as we see short rail services diminished across our state. I have spoken to many stakeholders in our district on this issue
and appreciate all the input. Stress on infrastructure due to axel weight is certainly something I am concerned about. After several committee meetings as well as discussions last Session, I decided we need to get all the stakeholders to the table on this issue, so I voted in favor of allowing the bill to move forward to the 2021 Session. That does not at all mean I will support this concept, but I firmly believe we must have full transparent hearings where any and all of the stakeholders can bring information to the issue. Voting no would have meant we were not able to get the information into a transparent open debate. So, please prepare to bring info and testimony this next Session on this issue. In Judiciary Committee we voted down two proposals that would have given infinite more powers to the Article XIV Ethics Commission. There was such convoluted language in both proposals, it was voted down on party-line votes. As many know, our committee has studied Article XIV and its’ implications as the five-member Ethics committee has worked to establish the rules the constitutional amendment authorizes them to do. I have voiced my strongest concerns about this body of appointed (unelected) and unaccountable committee as their rules supersede all elected branches of North Dakota Government, our Supreme Court AND our State Constitution. That to me is a dangerous path to send our state in. The two bills we defeated in Committee would have given even more authority and violated First Amendments rights. Let me reiterate we have, and should have the strictest ethics for anybody of elected office in our state, - that is an urgent part of a transparent elected government. Something we had before this Commission came to be. 2021 Session is fast approaching and the above issues will be taken up if they were voted through our interim. Adding budget and COVID issues to this session it will be hectic indeed. Meanwhile, harvest is waning down across our district and it has been a favorable one as far as conditions go. Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors the remaining days of fall. As always, please contact me with any concerns or issues.

Strange Looking Potatoes: Fall is the time when you dig out your potatoes with excitement to see how your hard work paid off. But, I am sure you will get disappointed looking at strange looking malformed potatoes and wonder what went wrong. Well, the misshaped potatoes are the result of secondary growth on the tubers. The term secondary growth is often described as heat sprouts, tuber chaining and tuber malformations. This physiological disorder decreases yield and quality of all potato tubers. Good management and varietal selection can minimize this. Potato tubers are the result of the plant genetics and the environmental conditions in which they are grown. Potato varieties are selected carefully for tubers that have desirable appearance to maximize sales and reduce waste. However, some years can cause more environmental stress than others, resulting in tuber secondary growth. Secondary growth often manifests as heat sprouts, tuber chaining and tuber malformations. This physiological disorder decreases yield and quality of the tubers in the field. The most common condition leading to secondary growth is heat stress, specifically soil temperatures. Soil temperature as low as 75 F (24 C) can stimulate this disorder, while soil temperature held at 82 F (28 C) for a month or 90 F (32 C) for one week has resulted in consistent and significant second growth of tubers. The development of this second growth also can be attributed to other conditions that interrupt or temporally halt growth, such as moisture stress or nutrient imbalance. A combination of stresses, such as heat and moisture stress, will exacerbate plant stress and cause more pronounced second growth. The size, shape and amount of second growth will depend on the growth stage, variety, and the duration and intensity of the stress. This second growth reduces tuber quality and marketable yield by consuming plant energy for heat sprouts, resulting in misshapen, unmarketable tubers, while not providing any benefit to the grower. In a stressful period, normal potato tuber growth is interrupted or stopped, and then normal tuber growth resumes. This change in growth can affect how tubers develop. Early bulking stress can constrict stem end growth, resulting in pointy stem end (Figure 1) or bottleneck tubers (Figure 2). Mid-bulking growth disruption leads to tubers that look like

Jelly end rot breakdown results in soft, “You’re guaranteed to have takeaways that you’ll implement immediately.” This summit is different than other years because of the impacts of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. NDWBC Program Director Laiken Aune shares about the challenges and rewards of hosting a virtual event. “After we decided to make the move to virtual, our focus became engagement. How do we deliver the content and training while allowing space for the impactful networking attendees appreciate and expect from this event?

jellylike and slightly watery ends. Fusarium can infect jelly ends and appear like dry rot. The affected area may extend up to an inch (2.5 centimeters) or more from the stem end. As the tubers age or dry out, the affected tissue dehydrates, shrivels, and turns light brown and papery. Heat stress also can stimulate growth of lateral buds, resulting in protruding eyes or knobs (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Protruding eyes or knobs. (Andy Robinson, NDSU/UM) Heat sprouts and chaining of tubers are an outcome of renewed growth following a stress period. Heat sprouts (Figure 9) grow from stolons or tubers and will grow above ground into leafy stems (Figure 10) or below ground as stolons (Figure 11).
Figure 11. Heat sprouts with tuber chaining. (Eugenia Banks, Ontario Potato Board) Tuber chaining (Figure 12) can occur when stolons set multiple tubers on one stolon. Varieties with short dormancy seem to be more prone to develop heat sprouts and chaining of tubers. This can result in dormancy being broken, causing tubers to sprout prior to harvest. Storing these potato tubers can be difficult because they are physiologically old and often will develop secondary tubers in storage (Figure 13).

Figure 13. Second tubers. (Andy Robinson, NDSU/UM) What to do to avoid second growth Potato second growth is a difficult disorder to avoid because of the strong environmental influence on plant growth and development. To minimize second growth: • Look for varieties that are less prone to having second growth and try to maintain ideal conditions for uniform plant and tuber growth. • Cultural management practices may include promoting uniform stands, ensuring adequate plant nutrition and promoting uniform soil moisture to meet crop demand. • Irrigation can be used to cool the soil, but do not overwater because this can lead to lenticel enlargement and pathogen entry into tubers.

On March 14, 1974, she married Joseph Richard (Dick) Hamann, an American who was serving in the Philippines with the Peace Corps. Dick and her were married by Monsignor Reyes in a Catholic church located in Quezon City, Luzon Philippines. Many of her friends and family and Peace Corps volunteers came from a distance to attend the wedding. She and her two- yearold daughter, Leah, came to the United States to join Dick in May 1974. Dick officially adopted Leah on February 16, 1978. Her and Leah received their U.S. Citizen status in 1978. The family was blessed with the birth of their son, John, on June 1, 1976. John went on to serve in the U.S. Marines and held posts in several American Embassies around the world. Sadly, he passed away in a car accident on May 24, 2002. Lina, her husband and children lived on the Hamann family farm near Langdon. In time, she adjusted to farm life by driving truck to haul grain, helping with spring planting and the fall harvests, and tending to various farm animals. She took great pride in her extensive vegetable and flower gardens. She thoroughly loved being outdoors and found enjoyment in spending hours picking branches from the large tree groves and mowing the yard using the Farmall B tractor. She worked 27 years at the Maple Manor Nursing Home as a dietary aide. She built and maintained many friend-
ships with the residents and staff. Her straight forward conversations and sense of humor made her greatly loved by so many; her family, friends, and community. Throughout the years, Dick and her traveled extensively, including a family trip back to the Philippines in 1982. Dick and her spent a number of winters in Weslaco, Texas, where they enjoyed spending time with other North Dakota snowbirds and making new friends from across the country. Grateful for sharing her life are her husband, Dick Hamann, of Langdon; daughter Leah (Myra) Hamann of Mandan; sister Nancy Celeste of Manila, Philippines; sister-in-law Rosemary Lothspeich of Fargo; brother and sister-in-law Melford (Bud) and Joanie Brekke of Edmore; brother and sister-in-law Leonard and Inez Rath of South Fargo; and numerous nieces, nephews, and relatives. She was preceded in death by her parents, Crispin and Barbara Celeste; brother Fortunato Celeste; son John R. Hamann; father-in-law Joseph W. Hamann; mother-in-law Inez B. Hamann; brother-in-laws: Harold Lothspeich and Paul I. Hamann; and sister-in-law Carole Hamann. Brooks Funeral Home of Langdon was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences are available at www.brooksfuneralhomelangdon. com.

Devotions by community pastors This devotion is submitted by Pastor Karl Breddin of Langdon United Lutheran Church
This week, we continue looking at the Book of Revelation. Our overview began with its theme of calling Christians to remain faithful to God and Christ, to resist evil, trusting God will prevail and bring salvation in a new Jerusalem. Last week, we looked at the seven churches whom Revelation was originally written to. This week, we’ll look at Revelation 4:1-19:10 with the layers of imagery shared in John’s vision. The Seven Seals (4:1-7:17) This cycle of visions opens in God’s heavenly throne room, with God’s throne surrounded by four creatures (representing the created order – birds, wild and domestic animals, and human beings) and twenty-four elders (whose identity is unclear), all of whom offer continual praises to God. John sees Christ as a slaughtered and living Lamb, and those in the throne room, along with all of the redeemed, join in praising both God and the Lamb; Christ doesn’t replace God but works with God to achieve salvation for the earth. As Christ opens each seal on the scroll he receives from God, a series of four horsemen appear warning of various real-life threats followed by a vision of martyrs and a cosmic earthquake. “Who can stand?” the people ask. The response is the people of God, marked with the cross of Christ on their foreheads and sealed with the Holy Spirit in baptism. Those sealed include 144,000 (symbolizing completeness) and a countless multitude from every tribe and nation. The Seven Trumpets (8:1-11:19) In this cycle of visions, angels blow trumpets, bringing six plagues upon the earth, yet the ungodly refuse to repent. These judgments are interrupted by an angel calling John to prophesy again to the nations and their leaders. Two witnesses, with traits of Jewish prophets and leaders appear, faithfully witness and give another opportunity for repentance;
many people begin to fear and glorify God. Then a seventh trumpet sounds, heavenly voices announcing that the world has become the kingdom of God and Christ. God’s kingdom means the destruction of those forces that would destroy the world God made. Conflict and Victory over the Dragon and the Beast (12:1-15:8) A series of visions follow where John sees the people of God (a woman) threatened by Satan (the dragon) and his ally the beast (representing tyrannical human power). This passage includes 666, “the number of the beast”. New Testament numerology indicates this referred to the Roman emperor Nero, or other similar oppressive leaders, i.e. one could say, “it’s Nero all over again.” This cycle closes with the faithful brought to victory, singing praises to God beside heaven’s crystal sea. Seven Final Plagues and the Fall of Babylon (16:1-19:10) Seven angels pour out bowls full of plagues filled with divine wrath on the earth, yet the ungodly refuse to repent. John sees a vision of the fall of Babylon the whore, who personifies the seductive political and economic powers nations that dominate the earth used to inflict violence and destruction. She is turned on and destroyed by the Beast (Satan); the powers of evil are self-destructive. Finally, this cycle closes as heavenly voices sing, as the faithful hear that the bride of the Lamb is ready for the great marriage celebration. It can be easy to get caught up in so much imagery in chapters 4-19, yet each cycle of visions follow a similar pattern, opening and closing with emphases on the praise and majesty of God and Christ. Even in hardship and persecution, all of existence begins and ends with God. If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact me at kbreddin001@luthersem.edu or 256-2594.

By Carrie Hope Principal St. Alphonsus Catholic School St. Alphonsus Curriculum Highlights As we get into our school routine, it becomes easy to forget that we’re doing big things around here - we move along from day to day and soon it’s Friday again. I want to take time in this column to stop and reflect on what our amazing teachers are doing in our classrooms. At St. Alphonsus School we have created a community of high exceptions, academic and otherwise. We believe it is extremely important to provide opportunities for all learners to help them grow and learn intellectually, artistically, spiritually, and socially through other personal interests. Our goal is to help our students become well prepared for a lifetime of well-being and success. We are proud to have all of our curriculum offerings updated within the last 3 years with the exception of science, which we are viewing

A Saint’s Shout Out
and researching curriculums available. We are happy to offer a technology class for kindergarten through 8th grade this year. In past years this has been the responsibility of each classroom teacher; this year our classes are taught by a full-time technology teacher with a new curriculum. We have a technology curriculum that builds on itself, starting with basic skills in kindergarten all the way to spreadsheets and presentations in 8th grade. We started working with Google Classroom this year. Students can complete assignments, watch class links, and have face-to-face meetings through the online platform. Not only do we have our students diving into work on Google Classroom, we have also provided inperson training for all parents. If the need for distance learning occurs, we will be using Google Classroom as our platform. The students will be comfortable with it since they already use it at school, so we expect smooth transitions, if needed. We are also excited to offer a new Consumer Education class; this
year’s 6-8th graders will be the first students to take this class. They will learn skills in the areas of STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math - as well as food preparation skills, general First Aid and CPR, and other forms of artistic expression. Along with those specifics, our students also participate in music, gym, library, guidance, band, and choir throughout the week. We are so proud of the students who attend St. Alphonsus School. It’s a joy to watch them meet challenges head-on, grow in different subjects throughout the year, and get just as excited about new teaching tools as their teachers do. As principal, I’m proud to reflect on the big things we’re doing around here, and I look forward to sharing more throughout the year. Go Saints! Carrie Hope is in her 2nd year as principal at St. Alphonsus School. She can be reached at carrie.hope@ k12.nd.us or at 701-256-2354. St. Alphonsus School is celebrating its 100th school year.

Eight-year-old Maxum Mostad has been itching to have a lemonade stand for quite some time. When he learned that one of his favorite places, Frost Fire, could use some help with expenses for the ski season, he had the perfect reason to try his hand at salesmanship. Not only did he convince his mom, grandma, and aunt to support his project with cookies and bars but he also convinced his dad and Grandpa Danny Mostad to match the sales. This sharp third grader at Langdon Area Elementary brought in the community to help him out and is pictured proudly presenting checks totaling $9,000 to board member Pat Chaput at the recent Pembina Gorge Foundation meeting.

Cardinals use rock solid defense and run first offense to beat Carrington 30-0
By JAKE KULLAND Republican Sports Writer
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals had their biggest test to date when they traveled down to Carrington for a Region 2A game on October 9. The Cardinals had to work a little harder than usual to get in the end zone but got the job done with a 30-0 win. That puts the Cards record at 8-0 and 6-0 in conference games. The win also was their third shutout of the season. Langdon-Edmore-Munich had their last game of the regular season at home versus Grafton on October 16 before beginning the postseason with the first round starting on October 24. The Cardinals are guaranteed at least one playoff game, and, of course, they are hoping for four postseason games as they work to get their third straight Class A 11Man state title. In the battle of the Cardinals, both teams were playing tough defense before Langdon-EdmoreMunich got the first turnover of the game when Mason Romfo recovered a Carrington fumble. L-E-M turned that into points, as Simon Romfo scored the first of his four
rushing touchdowns on a quarterback draw. He also kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0. Langdon-Edmore-Munich would score again in the second quarter when Grant Romfo laid out for an unreal catch from Simon on a 4th and 14 play call to set up Simon for a three yard TD run. Grant ran in the 2-point conversion to make the score 15-0 at the half. Simon would score again late in the third quarter from a yard out and once more in the fourth quarter after the L-E-M defense held Carrington on fourth down as they did the entire game. The Cardinals defensive line of Alex Cluchie, Cooper Zimmer, Jack Romfo and Cole Welsh had one of their best games of the season, helping the team get the shutout. Markus Kingzett also had a fumble recovery for the Cards. L-E-M also held Carrington to a minus one yard passing. Offensively the Cards had a number of big plays called back by penalties, so they adapted by running the ball more than they have all season to get the win. Simon Romfo ran the ball 23 times for 155 yards, while Grant Romfo had 11

Cards continue post-quarantine winning streak beating St. John, MPCG, #1 Thompson, BC Freshman Swanson sets program record with 52 assists in win over Tommies kills followed by Morgan Freije and with 114 digs as a team. Thompson By JAKE KULLAND Cora Badding with seven apiece. also came up big on defense with Republican Sports Writer The Cards had 10 service aces for 98 digs led by their libero Bailey The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals volleyball team continued a very busy stretch of matches after some of their players had to quarantine which forced them to postpone almost two weeks of matches. The Lady Cards have now won seven matches in a row since getting back on the court, winning at St. John 3-0 on October 8 then getting home match wins over May-Port-C-G 3-0 and top ranked Thompson 3-1 on October 10 and Nelson County 2-0 on October 13. The Cardinals are now 10-2 on the season, and they have another busy run in the week ahead, playing at Rugby on October 17, hosting Park River-FordvilleLanking on October 19, and taking on both Harvey-Wells County and New Rockford-Sheyenne in NR on October 20. Here is a recap of the Cardinals last four matches: Langdon-Edmore-Munich 3, St. John 0 The Cards had a fairly easy time with the Woodchucks, who lost their best player this season when Kendra Prouty transferred to Dunseith. Langdon-Edmore-Munich was led in the match by 14 kills from Lexi Olson, followed by eight from Kaylee Lowery and six by Cora Badding. The Lady Cards had it going from the serving line getting in 20 service aces for the match led by Lowery with eight and Morgan Thielbar with seven. Jalynn Swanson finished with 31 assists, while it was Morgan Freije leading the team with seven digs.

Langdon-Edmore-Munich made quick work of MPCG, going on a 9-1 run in the first set and not looking back from there. Lexi Olson led the team with 14
the match with three each from Olson, Lowery and Morgan Thielbar. Jalynn Swanson had 29 assists in this one, while Freije had a team high 16 digs, and Olson added three stuff blocks. Addi Domier and Kate Bradner each had three kills to lead the Pats.

The Tommies beat the Cardinals at home in five sets back on September 10. The second time around would be a fierce battle from start to finish. The first two sets went to extra points, with both team coming up with some huge plays. The Lady Cards would get just enough to win both 26-24 and 27-25. After Thompson stayed alive to win set three 25-20, The Cardinals came back strong to win a very close set four 25-23, where Thompson saved four match points before Langdon-Edmore-Munich got the winning point down. The stats after the match were staggering: Cardinals freshman setter Jalynn Swanson set a school and program record with 52 assists for the match, breaking a record set by Christy Schauer in the mid-2000's. Lexi Olson had the best match of her all-state career with 27 kills and an unreal 33 digs. Junior Morgan Freije also had one of her best matches with 19 kills and 22 digs. Cora Badding had eight kills, two of them clinching a set win. Defensively the Lady Cards were stellar
Munson who had 33 of them, plus a game high four service aces.

The Lady Cards were about as efficient as you can get with only 10 unforced errors in the three-set win. Lexi Olson was on fire from the serving line getting 11 aces with the Cards having 20 as a team. Kaylee Lowery had a great night with 10 kills and two stuff blocks, while Jalynn Swanson racked up 26 assists. Cards libero Marlee Hetletved led the squad defensively with 12 digs.

Playoffs? Playoffs?? Crazy but true for high school football they are here If you told us at the beginning of the season with the COVID-19 virus going around that we would get in a full regular season of high school, no would probably believe you. But yet here we are, as the time we type these words the LangdonEdmore-Munich Cardinals football team was getting ready for its last regular season contest of the year at home versus Grafton. The Cards have had a few COVID bumps in the roads, but have played through it and will now hope to get an opportunity to defend their two time State Class A 11 Man Title. Langdon-Edmore-Munich will have a home playoff game on Oct. 24, with opponent and game time yet to be determined. In are 9 Man Football North Border clinched a home playoff game for the first time since 2011, and there coach Tim Hartje, in a friendly wager with his team, had to get his ears pierced when his team reached the playoffs. Coach Hartje now has to wear earrings of some type for the rest of the Eagles season. In other good news, Cavalier moved to the top spot in the 9 Man Poll, and they will also host a playoff game along with the Eagles on Oct. 24. Now is the time of year where you don't want or need any posi-

Jake’s take on sports
tive cases or close contacts, because if that should happen in postseason, most likely the game would be ruled a forfeit, as those games would be nearly impossible to be made up. As of right now the Dakota Bowl in still scheduled for the Fargodome on Nov. 13, but that of course is subject to change depending on how things turn for good or bad by then. Lady Cards explode out of quarantine and run off seven straight wins The Langdon-Edmore-Munich volleyball team also has had some great times lately. After some members of their team had to quarantine due to being close contacts, they got the band back together so to speak on Oct. 2 and hit the ground running. Since getting back on the court, the Lady Cards have won seven matches in a row, including a heart stopping four set win over top ranked Thompson at home on Oct. 10. Next stop for the Cardinals is to try and win the Region 4 regular season title, and the top seed for the region tourney. The format for the Region 4 Tournament will be different this year due to the corona virus. Instead of the top eight teams meeting in Devils Lake, the first round will be played at four different sites, with the higher seed hosting matches throughout the tourney. So for the Cards, getting that top seed is more important than ever, as it would give them three possible home matches in the regional. The region tournament has also now been spread out to a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday set-
ting. The Lady Cards host PRFL on Oct. 19, then will play two Region 4 matches in New Rockford on Oct. 20, a regularly scheduled game with the Rockets, and a makeup one with Harvey-Wells County. We wish them the best of luck down the stretch. State Cross Country Meet coming Oct. 24; Moved to Cooperstown The State Class B Cross Country Meet is ready to go for Oct. 24, but the location has been changed. It will now be run in Cooperstown, rather than Jamestown. The reason being they want to separate Class A and B due to large crowd guidelines recently updated by the North Dakota Department of Health. It won't be much of change around here, as the East Region Meet was also run in Cooperstown on Oct. 17. Best of luck to all teams competing at State! Dakota Spirit Arena ready to open beginning with a hockey camp Oct. 22-23 We are ready to start talking up some winter sports, as hockey season is approaching. Dakota Spirit Arena in Langdon will get things rolling with a hockey camp, sponsored by Federated Insurance on Oct. 22-23.

smell and taste of fresh bread is one of them. In any case, I realized that not everyone has had the pleasure of having the smell of fresh baked bread in their homes. I feel as though it is often times because people think making bread is too difficult. It’s really not. It does take some time, and there is science behind it with the chemical and physical reactions that take place, but it’s not really all that difficult, per se. It might be worth giving it a try so that you can experience the fresh smells and tastes that come with the experience. There are two types of breads: quick breads and yeast breads. The bread that brings the memories and smiles to people’s faces when they smell the aroma all day long is the fresh yeast bread. Yeast bread is often shied away from because people feel the process is difficult, but it really depends on the recipe and what type of bread is being made. Some people shy away from “carbs,” but bread is full of nutrients like much needed B vitamins. It is often the amount and types of “carbs” people are eating that causes a problem. If a person makes them whole grain and only has the recommended amount of servings, then it’s usually not an issue for people. Making bread is definitely worth a try if you feel like it’s something you would enjoy doing, or smelling for that matter. Yeast bread typically consists of a flour, a liquid, yeast, salt, sugar, and a fat of some kind. Each ingredient has its purpose and must be used correctly in order for the science to work. The flour is key to the bread and its end result, so be sure to use the flour called for in the recipe. The liquid helps activate the yeast and blend the ingredients together. The sugar is the food for the yeast. The salt inhibits over-growth. The fats add richness and tenderness. The yeast is a living organism and must be activated with warmth and liquid. If the yeast is added to the dry ingredients in the recipe, the liquid should be be-

By Katie Henry NDSU Extension Family and Community Wellness Agent “You can make that?!...” The other day, there was someone that stopped at our house for just a quick minute, and as they stood just inside the door, they said, “What smells so good in here?!” My son looked at me with a strange look on his face and asked what smelled so good. I’m not sure if I should be offended or not that he thinks it usually stinks in our house… I’m going to take his response as though it always smells good, and he just takes it for granted. I informed my son and our guest that it was the fresh bread I was making. The guest replied, “You can make bread?!...” It all of a sudden struck me that not everyone makes bread, as it’s often something people just buy off the shelf at the store. I simply replied, “You sure can! Doesn’t it smell great?!” There are some smells in life that bring back great memories or invoke a feeling of peace and pleasure. Fresh bread is one of them for many people, and what a great season we are in to start baking bread. The warmth from the oven will warm up the house, the smells will cheer you up, and your body will be satisfied with deliciousness. I remember days of seeing the giant bowl of rising bread dough sitting in the sunshine of the window. The anticipation of being able to punch down that dough when it was ready was almost too much to handle at times for me as a child. There is also something extremely satisfying about poking your finger in fresh bread dough and seeing the hole you just made. Knowing there would be fresh buns, bread, or rolls of some kind made my mouth water and excitement build. I never realized I was taking the experience for granted. There are just some things in life that people shouldn’t miss out on. I feel like the experience of the

tween 120-130 degrees F. If the yeast is added to the liquid to activate, the liquid should be between 110115 degrees F. A food thermometer should be used, and the temperatures should not be different than this unless stated otherwise in the recipe. Yeast needs a warm enough temperature to become active yet can be killed at too high of a temperature. Sometimes it’s a fine balance, so be careful. Often times, depending on the recipe, it may only take 15-20 minutes to actually mix the ingredients together. The time people stress over is often due to the fact that the rising of the bread is a process that takes time. But, during that time, there is nothing a person needs to do but wait. Some recipes only require one rise time, some require two. Some require up to three hours of rise time total; some only require forty-five minutes. It really all depends on what a person is making. If you are gluten free, there are many recipes that have been developed that use gluten free flours, and experimenting is always fun. You could take recipes that are your favorite and see what develops as your new yummy bread. No matter what you make, sometimes it takes time to get things right. Practice makes permanent, and there will be things that you find you need to adjust or do differently as you experiment with making bread. Just the other day, I made some breadsticks that didn’t turn
out quite like they were supposed to. Now I know for next time to make them even smaller and have some patience with the process in order to get a better end result. NDSU Extension has many resources available for breads and recipes. If you would like more information, feel free to visit our website at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/food/food-preparation, call our office at 256-2560, or email katie.d.henry@ndsu.edu. Since flour is the key ingredient in any bread product, there are many great resources available to us through the North Dakota Wheat Commission. There are resources on nutrition, recipes, and much more found at www.ndWheat.com. Since it is beginning to get colder, I decided to try my hand at making some bread bowls next time I make fresh homemade soup. The ND Wheat Commission provides a recipe that I’m going to try: Bread Bowls 2 1/2 c. warm water (105 to 115 degrees) 2 packages active dry yeast 1 Tbsp. salt 1 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp. oil 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 c. bread flour 1 egg, beaten 1 Tbsp. milk *Measure warm water into a large bowl.

North Dakota State University Extension has partnered with seven other state Extension organizations to offer the Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities (CEC) Conference virtually on Nov. 9-13. The CEC Conference is a community development initiative that brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, economic development professionals, decision makers and community champions to strengthen and broaden regional entrepreneurial networks. “Due to COVID-19, all in-person events have been postponed,” says Jodi Bruns, NDSU Extension leadership and civic engagement specialist. “However, technology allows us to still share great programming and ideas.” Bruns continues, “This conference will provide participants with opportunities to learn from each other and share best practices for developing entrepreneurial net-
works within their communities. It will also showcase tools and resources that are available to entrepreneurs and that can be implemented in their communities.” Two entrepreneurs from North Dakota will speak at the virtual conference. Jessie Monson from Ten Seven Acres, Galchutt, N.D., will share how creative business strategies during COVID-19 have led to increased revenue. Annie Carlson of Morning Joy Farm, Mercer, N.D., will keynote the first day of the event and discuss her suc-
cesses and failures working for a Fortune 500 company and now as operator of Morning Joy Farm. A detailed agenda and registration information is available at https://sites.google.com/umn. edu/cecmultistateshowcase/home.

cause and an effect of their dental problems. Others may unfairly perceive them as less trustworthy, and less employable. Emergency rooms and medical clinics see the consequences of delayed or absent dental care. Patients seek antibiotics and pain medicines to “get them by” until they can see a dentist. These treatments may convert a raging infection to a smoldering, but temporarily bearable, one. However, they don’t fix the underlying problems. There is another layer to the interplay between dental and physical health: many medical diseases and their treatments may cause or worsen dental problems. The antidepressant I give a patient might cause dry mouth, which worsens tooth decay. The medicine to prevent a broken hip may severely
damage the bone of the jaw. Diabetes increases the risk for dental disease which in turn, can worsen a person’s diabetes management. Additionally, research shows that poor dental health increases our risk for heart attacks and could possibly lead to premature births. All in all, there are myriad reasons to take care of our teeth and gums, no matter our age. So, thanks, Grandma, for convincing an impatient child to keep brushing.

Cavalier County Republican
By Sam Easter EDITOR’S NOTE: In the early 1900s, the state had a “live free or die” culture that encouraged self-reliance and independence from fiercely loyal political partisanship. Now, an overwhelming majority identify as Republicans. How did the electorate change from voting for a Congressional delegation of Democrats? This series, produced by Forum News Service and the North Dakota Newspaper Association Education Foundation, seeks to answer that question. North Dakota is a deepred Republican state, but one with a state bank and a state mill and elevator — artifacts of a socialist past. It’s a land of sprawling farms, but increasingly tied to the petroleum industry. Its history runs through angry wheat farmers and Air Force bases and floods, nestled between mountains and Midwestern sensibilities. The series: • PART 1: Mr. Townley goes to Washington. • PART 2: The Great Depression and prairie populism. • PART 3: The Cold War brings air power to North Dakota. • PART 4: Just a few miles from Tioga. • PART 5: Earl Pomeroy and the Democrat-NPL golden years. On Feb. 19, 1949, Major Donald C. Jones was skimming over the snow-covered plains of North Dakota in an F-51, the single-engine fighter plane that’s come to symbolize the early years of American air power. Temperatures statewide hovered close to zero or well below, and the icy wind flowing over the wings was surely tugging at his controls. Jones was the commanding officer of the state’s Air National Guard, and he was leading during a crisis. That winter’s snow hemmed
Monday, October 19, 2020 – Page 15
in ranchers and their herds from Nevada to the northern plains. The Air Force — faced with an agricultural calamity — scrambled planes and bombed American farms with the feed the herds needed. The mission was dubbed “Operation Haylift.” Jones died that day when his plane crashed. It was a tragic moment in North Dakotan flight — and, as American air power grew, would mark only an early chapter in its story. Operation Haylift showed what airplanes could do just as the Berlin Airlift, the famous air mission to break a Soviet blockade, played out in Europe. Both events, historian David Mills argued, underscored the potential of American air power — just as the Cold War began in earnest. This is the third installment in a five-part series on North Dakota’s history, produced by Forum News Service and the North Dakota Newspaper Association Education Foundation. The series explores what’s made North Dakota into what it is today: A deep-red GOP stronghold with socialist institutions — one foot firmly planted firmly in oil, and the other agriculture. Today’s installment explores the Cold War, which transformed the state’s economy and made it a military linchpin.
The Cold War brings power to ND
Robert Branting supervises the historical nuclear missile launch site near Cooperstown, N.D. He points out that as the Cold War began, North Dakota had a good deal of geographical luck: It was perfectly poised for interceptor and bomber squadrons that could be quickly flown into the tense, over-the-pole nuclear standoff with the USSR. The bases at Grand Forks and Minot, founded during the 1950s, grew over the following decades to include those fighters and bombers that were so integral to national defense. The
landscape of North Dakota grew dotted with nuclear missile sites, too. And military investments proved a bonanza in North Dakota. In both Grand Forks and Ward counties, the population surged between 1950 and 1970 — by 55% and 68%, respectively. Meanwhile, the rest of the state saw a 3% drop in its population. By the early 1990s, the Cold War came to a close. Over the coming decades, Grand Forks' bombers departed, and so did nuclear weapons, replaced by unmanned aircraft and the aerospace companies that traffic
in them (far fewer Cold War capabilities have been phased out in Minot). But the importance to the state economy — no matter the mission — has remained constant. “When I was in the Air Force, we bought our furniture in town, we bought our cars in town,” said former Grand Forks Mayor Mike Brown, who was once a missile launch officer. “That gave stability to the economy. Because farms have ups and downs. Tourism has ups and downs. But the military was a consistent source of people.”

claim they have never enjoyed. Attitude has a lot to do with what we remember. Last year I wrote about potato picking which is now done by machines. Other years I have written about the flocks of geese overhead day after day with their unique “V” formation. As a teacher I could take my students out for recess, and we had an impromptu mini-science lesson watching the ducks and geese overhead. Driving to school before the sun came up, I could see the constellation Orion off to the left when going west on Highway 5. In the ditches, where a pond might be near, there would be tall cranes feeding each morning. In the evenings, ponds in Rush Lake would be resting places for migrating birds in the hundreds or some said thousands. Those same areas would have muskrat houses spring up overnight, and long-time residents predicted the winter snowfall by the height of those winter homes. Today drainage projects have removed a large portion of the ponds and waterfowl from view. If the skies are filled with migrating birds, most of us no longer notice them or hear their honking voices overhead. It is a fall feature I miss and so do others. Halloween used to be a day or two in late fall. Now decorating begins in September, and the other day I heard a discussion on the radio about the Halloween season which was described as the time between Labor Day and Christmas. We have become used to seeing the outdoor decorations, complete with lights which may stay up for Christmas or maybe even remain year around. They are a cheerful and colorful sign of changing times. Football is now a big deal for Langdon residents and fans. Years ago I wrote about the first games played on an open space at the fairgrounds when Wallace Osmon was the coach. Former players, from apparently all corners of the globe, wrote their memories for a long ago column which included quotes about “the ground was always frozen solid, the temperature was 40 below, the first game of football they saw they played in, they were always beaten by 300 lb. potato eaters from Park River” and so on. Our teacher for at least one class was Mr. Osmon who informed his students that we were “required to attend a game” one chilly day if we wanted a passing grade. There is a vague memory that he may have told us he would take attendance of students who were there because some of us made a special attempt to show up. The games began when classes ended, not in the evenings. Most of the boys were on the team but not all in matching uniforms. The team sat on the ground and maybe, because they also practiced in cold weather, cowered under blankets. The “crowd” was very small, had no blankets, no seats and stood shivering and shaking on the sidelines. We knew nothing about the game or if there was scoring of any kind. What some of us do remember is a cheerleader who dated one of the star players. If he was tackled, she screamed at the opposing team to “get off him and don’t you hurt him because he has to play basketball!” She was more entertainment than the game. Even with bleachers and relatives on the
team, I was never again enticed to attend a game at Langdon. Yes, Mr. Osmon had quite a bit to say about that many years later when he was still a football fan and I was not. In more recent years the football field moved and acquired not only a loudspeaker system to help you keep up with the score when the weather is warm plus radio announcers for days with inclement weather. I have both good and not so good Indian Summer memories of elections in North Dakota. When voting in other more southern states, we were rarely snowed out of casting our ballots. Coming back to North Dakota, I was asked to work on precinct elections and especially the November ones tended to offer varieties of weather. Several times we went in early in the morning – especially in the years when polls opened by 7 a.m. – with a light jacket and winter blew in during the day. By 2 or 3 a.m. when the ballots might be counted (one year it took us much longer than that because two of us serving as clerks fell asleep) there could be drifts of snow to get through going home. When it was my turn to return the ballots to the courthouse, my car refused to cooperate and remained in the precinct parking lot for a few days. I remember riding with a co-worker who had a heavier car one year and one time with someone who had a pickup. Not only were the drifts on the street but they covered the steps to the courthouse resulting in several falls while carrying the bags of ballots only to find the courthouse doors locked! Eventually a candidate waiting for the final count opened the door, but protocol required that I deposit the bags on the counter of the auditor’s office. Later Hannah and Munich election workers told me they had permission to bring in their ballots after the roads opened up! The sudden storms caused another problem. Farmers liked their wives to vote at a rural precinct even if they had a house in town. This gave their township officers more of a say in county business, but some wives worked in town and got stuck in snow drifts going to their home in town. When they showed up at our precinct, I could verify that they did live in town since some were my neighbors but was it legal for them to vote in town? We checked with the courthouse and were told yes. So the wives voted and later learned their husbands disagreed. The next day they wanted their ballots back! Even while they were shouting out the names of the candidates they had voted for, we could not exchange the ballot cast the day before for a new one. In later years we sent those people to the courthouse to vote. Until the COVID pandemic and the need to maintain social distancing, I took seriously voting in person. Sometimes the candidate you want wins, and if not, at least you have cancelled out the vote of a person you disagree with. However, many of my friends have voted by mail for years so this year I sent back the card to vote by mail with no fear that my ballot will be discarded or lost in transit. Whether it snows or not, I can sleep on election night.
